It was not the act of a rational being, but of a mischievous or malevolent idiot. I was inclined to bolievo that the explanu tion Miss Laseolles had olTerod was a just one. ami that what she had noon was purely imaginative and the result of four, inspired by thoso inystcri(>us sounds which mipht yet t?o explained.

Do you doubt now t'io purpose with which ' brace has gone to seek the girl to-day?" I was forced to admit that his oxplunation was feasible, yet I could not beliovo that I.ola. who soenied sincerely attached to mo. would consent to aid in my ruin merely at tho instigation of her lather, whoso authority sho habitually disregarded. I said tills to Van lloeck. "It is because she is attaohod to you?boeuiiB ; she lovos you." ho replied, with emphasis. "that she would readily enter her j?4thcr*t? projisu.4o raU.you.of aha diamond.

It is the only hope sho can have of getting you awnv fiom Miss Lase lies, and restoring the former condition of equality upon which your companionship with her rested." Again I was compelled to admit tho forco of Van iloeek's argument. "but why." I aske I. "should Brace trust such a perilous undertaking lo his daughter?" "For an obvious reason." ho repliod. "If you caught her in the net of robbing, you would not raise your hand against her: if you caught him. you would blow his brains out. For her vou wou'd find excuse; for li i 111 none." In this there was truth-also. "Talking of that." ho continued, "what arms do you keep about you for defense?" "None. I replied. "I thought so.

He advocated starving her into better behavior. and woul 1 have had the door closed to out oft her communication with the dairy, but .Mis- l.aseelles would not listen to this; she would not yield to fear, and declined to change her room or niter her ordinary habitudes. We separated a little before eleven. The night was close an I study. I bad no inclination to go to bed. especially as f had given Van Hooek my word to close the window beforehand. There was a reading-lamp in my room. I lit it. put out tho candle, and seated myself in a comfortable chair with a l ook.

I waited koiiio minute*, ami tboro being no repetition of the Hound, I reopened my book, but I pause 1 with my linger on the page to listen onoo more. A shuddering High, like that of a ehild who is crying itself to sloop, reached my ear. I went to tho window, drew up tho blind softly, and looked out; lor th? sound had seemed to eonie from a distance, and I thought it might be tbe flutter of leaves in a breeze. Hut the night was unchanged? heavy and still, the moon obscured, and a thin gray veil of mist hanging over the lawn, as F.ditli had seen it the night before. I opened tIk* door noiselessly. All was dark. I could seo only the miillion of the l?ny standing out vagu dv agaimd the graynoss. I listened.

And so I sat watching md reading until past four o'clock, when he light began to fail, my eyes grew heavy, ind unconsciously I fell asleep. I was iwoke by my book falling from my hands Ai the floor.

Then I saw her two lustrous black eyes looking through. Almost immediately a terward they disappeared.

Sho showed me the watch, the miuuteiinnd was so bent that It could not pass tho hour-hand: when I lifted it. tho movement I recommenced, proving that the spring had not run down. Tho hour marked by the hands was five minutes to one. "At ftve minutes to one Lolu was sleeping ut my door," I said. I TO HE CONTINUED. | Two Blue-Bottle Flies.

Placing himself in the center of tlio <1 rawing-room, he opened his hands and out flew two lafge bluebottle flies and buzzed around the room for a second or two.

If lie can he induced to take good hooks at the start, he is seldom likely to have any dangerous leaning toward poor ones thoroaftcr.

It is nirdly to* much to say that any parent may cultivate a taste for good literature in his child if he is only willing to take the trouble.
