Laudanum.
Dorothy Knebwell stood like one
turned to stone, without sneaking, for
the space of one moment, while Sim-1
monda went hurriedly away. Then a
phiver passed over her.
"Dead!" she said to herself, in n
whisper. "Great heaven! No, no; it
cannot be!"
Enid did not hear the murmured
words of anguish. She was leaning
against the door, and only saw her
cousin's lips move. With her heart
full of pity and sympathy she stole
across to Dorothy and puther hand on
one of the beautiful arms that hung
down straight and rigid.
At the touch Dorothy shuddered
and shrank back.
"Don't! don't!" she muttered.
Then, with a sudden movement, she
caught Enid's hand in hers. "Yes!
*jome with me! Wo must go and see!
It?it can't be?it can't be true!"
Enid's courage rose. All her nervousness,
her weakness, her shyness,
were lost. It was Dorothy who was
shivering and shrinking, and she was
strong and bold now.
"Stay here, dear," she whispered,
"I will go and see." j
But Dorothy clung to her, and sc
with feet that hastened unconsciously
they traversed tho hall and reached
the chamber of death.
Simmonds met them at the door.
"Don't go in, Miss Dorothy." hf
urged, "don't go in! I have done al'
1?"
She pushed him away, and wltt
lingers that gripped Enid's small onet
with a grip of desperation, she passed
into the room.
The lamp was lighted and placec
on the table. It shed a brilliant light
from beneath the large green shade
on to a few yards around, but the corners
were dark, and through the opet
window the pale rays of the summei
moon shone in clear and pure.
Enid never forgot that scene
There was the chair that morning
after morning sbe had sat on reading
to Sir Robert the news of the day;
there the bookcases - ith their vol- j
times upon volumes of priceless
works; there the padded stool upor
which had rested the invalid's font
and there the chair from where the !
hard, cruol, yet handsome face, with
its furrows of pain, had glared at hei
and spoken the many bitter words
she had received. The head was j
there now, but it was no longer erect;
the lamplight fell upon the still body
with the gray lined face fallen upon
.the sunken chest, and on the hands,
clinched together, as if the last throe:!
had been more terrible and intensu
than any that had come during life.
She made an involuntary movement i
of horror as her eyes rested on tho
countenance so like and yet so
strangely altered. Was it not but
this morning she had crept away
chilled by the cruel sarcasm and dislike
that had come from those mute
lips? A shiver passed over her slight
frame, and then suddenly she lost all
thought of herself and of her own
emotions, and turned her whole attention
to her cousin.
Dorothy stood in the middle of the
room; she not only grasped Enid's
arm, but for a few moments leaned
her whole weight on the slender form
beside her.
"Ite is not dead! " she gasped. "Not
' I If -
.uunuu ul me. Jie Knew?"
She got no farther. Her words died
away in her throat with a choking
sol). She tottered a few steps toward
the door, then, as Simmonds moved
rapidly lo aid her, she slipped rapidl>
down into a chair, and thence to th
floor, in a state of insensibility.
"She must he taken to bed," paid
Simmonds. "Will you run and ask
Virginia to come, miss? She is in the
kitchen. I think I can manage tc
carry Miss Dorothy; she is not very
heavy."
Hi; lifted the girl's form from the
ground, while Enid hurried to the
servants' quarters to find the maid.
The whole household was standing
about in groups discussing the sudden
death with that delight and excitement
that seems allied with the enjoyments
of a common mind.
Enid beckoned to the maid, and together
they traversed tlio staircase
and reached Dorothy's room, not
without many an exclamation of ter
ror and agitation from the Frenchwoman.
Simmonds had managed to
carry his burden up with some little
dlfllculty, and as soon as she saw her
cousin in the hands of her maid Enid
turned to him.
"What shall wo do now, Slinmonds?"
she asked In a whisper.
"I have sent for Dr. Waters, miss,
lie will be here directly."
"Is thoro anything I can do?"
Simmonds shook his head, and hall
limited. What was there for so frail
and slender a girl to do In such a ease
as this?
"1 think, miss, If you were to stay
with Miss Dorothy, It would be the
best. Sho Is .terribly upset, and nc
wonder, especially as Sir Robert put
himself in an awful passion with hei
obout something Just after dinner,
'f you want mo I will como at once."*

though her limbs trembled and hei t
head ached. j
Suddenly a knock came at the door (
Enid turned to her cousin to know
her wishes, and was frightened at th< ^
ghastly color that was spread all a! c
once over Dorothy's usually lovely x
complexion. ' (|
"Say I am 111?111!" she muttered, t
and she seemed to crouch back on tho j
bed a3 If to hide herself, ! j
Enid nodded and went to the door. |
Slmmonds was there. ' (
"Dr. Waters would like to speak to
Mies Dorothy, if she can see him," ho |
Baid. \
Enid shook her head. \ |
"I will como down and tell him
my cousin can seo no one to-night; t
she is terribly upset. Where is he. !
Simmonds?"
"In .the ha\l, miss." ;
Dr. WaterB received tho girl's ex- i
cuses as to her cousin's non-a\ipear- j
ance very gravely. I
"I am Sorry she Is ill, but I quito
understand." ho said, while he pulled 1
on his gloves; "this Is very sudden \
and very shocking." I
"Yes; we had no idea my uncle was i
so ill as he must have been," Enid j
answered, as she passed her hand
over her throbbing brow. j
The doctor looked at her keenly. |
"He was no worse than ho had been
for years, Miss Leslie," ho said, |
tersely. I j
"You mean?" she began, hur- ! :
..i-.11
iicuiy. |
"I mean that Sir Robert might and
would probably have lived for years. 1
lie has died from no disease, but from |
an overdose of laudanum?a dose |
strong enough to kill three men."
Enid grew paler and paler. t
"Laudanum?" she repeated, mechanically.
"How?" i
"That is what we must discover," i
the doctor finished, promptly. "There i
must have been some carelessness
somewhere, and it must be inquired i
into. That is why I wished to see !
Miss Knebwell to-night."
"Sho is not fit tr> iiicKnoo ?
Enid spoke with decision and was i
astonished at her own firmness after
she had spoken.
"Then to-morrow. Anything I can |
do you may depend, Miss Leslie, will
he done. I should advise you to ap- 1 |
prise Sir Robert's lawyers of his j 1
death without delay. Sorao one |
should be here In authority; it is too 1
much for a girl like your cousin to |
take 011 her shoulders."

" Dorothy's Hope.
Tho breakfast room at Uromley J
Manor was one of the smaller apart- (
ments chosen purposely by Lady Derritnan
for its coziness and homeli- j
ness; here tho dogs were permitted j
to race in and out through tho open
windows or crouch on the mat and j
sleep in tho sun. Breakfast and
luncheon also were served here when j (
there were 110 guests; and here It wag ! (
that Lady Derriman was seated alone
about four days after her garden
party. She was a noble-looking worn- |
an, with a sweet, pure faco bordered
by hair as white as snow, and there
was ?a strong likeness between her
handsome son and herself. I
As she turned her head her quick ,
ears caught the sound of wheels, and j
her cheeks flushed with the pleasure
that always came at sight of hor son. |
; Lord Derriman waved his hand,
blighted from tho brougham and '
strode across the lawn to her.
"You are tired, dear," his mother
said, as he bent to kiss her. ,
Lord Derriman flung his heavily
craped hat on to a chair near at hand. ,
"The sun is so hot," ho answered, |
"and funerals are .terrible things,
mother, dearest,"

"Poor child! Charles Knebwell'n
daughter should have been bettor provided
for than that. Tell mo, did you
' talk to Dr. Waters at all?"
| nervals' brow clouded for an in;
stant.
j "Yes; I found him strangely obstiI
natc. Tio Is forced to confess that
. Blmmonds' theory might l>e and is
probably correct?that poor Sir Robert
drank the laudanum by mistake
for his draught, but to me he will in,
?ist on saying there is a suspicion of
j foul play somewhere. I argued with
him all to no good; however, 1 made
lilm promise not to breathe a hint of
such a thing to any one but myself.
If it got to Dorothy's curs it would
make her doubly wretched, and all to
no good, since ho cannot possibly!
prove his case and goes on suuno
jition, purely and simply.'*
Lady Derrlman looked surprised
ind distressed.
"What a curious thing to say!

lie floor, resting her weary head on
he window ledge. The four days
ust passed had tried the sensitive,
Uglily strung nature to Its highest.
Dorothy was In her room also when
Mminonds came quietly upstairs to
mnounce tlio arrival of Dady Derrlnan.
She was standing by the winlow,
a glow In her steel gray eyes, a
lush on her fair cheeks, and a throb
>f exultant pride and relief ill what
rnssed for heart. She was quite
ilone, for Virginle, like Enid, had at
aRt given way, although the maid had
lot done one-quarter for her mistress
vhat Enid had done, and, being
ilone, Dorothy was free to look as Bhe
deased.
"What luck," she said to herself.
'All mine! Money can command
iverything, and I will want nothing!
Vh! the relief, the delight after these
our horrible days! May I never exjerienice
any like them again!"
Simnionds interrupted her thoughts

-.atly Derriman's message.
Dorothy clasped her two hands and
?tood erect, the color deepened on
icr cheoks, tho light glowing in her
>yes. This, indeed, was the climax to
ler triumph.
"He has sent her," she whispered.
'Gervais has sent her. Enid told mo

'or me this morning."
She stood for an instant, then
stepped to the mirror.
"I must not go down with these

She went to the door and sent a
nessago back to ask Lady Derriman
f she would mind coming upstairs in
ivo minutes.
"I will ring tho boll, Sinimonds,
ivlien 1 want her to come."
Tho older woman entered gently,
ind drew tho girl for one instant to
ler arms without speaking, then as
ihe felt Dorothy tremble, she led her
jack to a chair, and sat down herself,
gently stroking the small white
land she held.
"My poor child!" she murmured,
ouched inexpressibly by this apparent
silent suffering; and then in her
>weet, tender way, she tried to console
Dorothy, speaking of the comfort
hat comes to all true believers, little
hinklng that every word was received
vith restlessness and almost conemptuous
weariness.
But Dorothy was sincere in one
.Mng?she earnestly desired the
rlendship of Lady Derrltnan, and she
vould have listened to tho sermon, as
die termed it, twice over for tlie sake
>f ingratiating herself with Gcrvcis'
nother, and so drawing herself nearjr
to him.
After Lady Derriman had spoken
\11 she could to soothe the girl, she
jent and kissed Dorothy.
"Alld now T hnvn /-> <?

deasure of your company; it is needess
to add we shall be quite alone;

Dorothy clasped Lady Derriman's
.and.
"Yes, yes!" she cried, hurriedly
md eagerly. "I should like that best.
[ long to get away; this place chokes
ne; it is so hot and so miserable."
There was no mistaking the genuineness
of this cry.
"Very well; we will decide to-night,
for if you are able, Dorothy, I mean
:o carry you back with me to Bromley.
Your maid can follow with youi
ilothes, arid Miss Leslie will cornc
with you, of?"
"Oh! Enid is going to stay with
her mother's relations for a time,"
laid Dorothy, glibly. She had 110 wisli
for her poor cousin's company. Enid
tiad served her purpose once, hut rIk

Dorothy only hesitated for one moment.
"I will como later, dear Lady Derrimau,"
