And Sircombc eagerly laid the consolation to his vexed soul that shn was j disgusted with the stranger s audacity. He took his time about going down to ' the shore, ami found Kenmore staring at the .acant mooring. "What? has ho gone by himself'"' exclaimed the director; "did yon see him?" Kenmore had not seen liini. "He has probably got tired of waiting."' suggested Sircombe; "but that j was a rash thing for a man in his condi- \ tion to do. And I don't like the sky." "If he's out life lane in that cockle- j shell, he's like to be lost," muttered Kenmore uneasily. -Oh. he's no fool: he has likely gone no farther than round the point there, and will be back in a few minutes."

"Mo will bo lost!" whispered she, lookin? yildly up to the frowning heavens. Her anguish tore at Siroombo's heartstrings; he gnawed his lying lip with rage and pain. Down came the rain with a sudden blast that scourged tin- seas into a , world of boiling foam, ami almost swept the light form of the gir! into the water. "i.ot mo take you home.'" implored Shvombe. She started and Hashed him a wondering, reproachful look. "Without one effort to save him?" -aid she sternly. "Am 1 dreaming or delirion-? or what strange hange is tlris which 1 see upon you. this unnatual callousness concerning the life of that brave man? I cannot comprehend you!'' she cried, her piercing eyes upon Iho guilty, quailing wretch, till lie could have screamed a prayer to be de.ivored from them. "Why did you, who ran read the signs, tempt him to go on the water this afternoon of all the days lie lias been with us*' And when vou saw that he had gone in that reck loss way, how could you quietly sit down here instead of raising the whole island to pursue him i and bring him back from death?

He hung his head, his proud silver head, that owned no master but (iod, lie held his bonnet in liis hand, and the wild wind tossed his long locks till the rain drenched them too heavy to float, and the look in his eyes fro/e the hot j blool in her veins. "What is it, h'enmore?" demanded she with sudden despairing calmness. What j have you to tell me'."' "1 said that ye wad dree the day ye drew Uiin from the waves:"' he solemnly replied, "lie has just lived long enough to break your tender heart an' now tin* I waves hae gotten him back again." "Not?not dead!" she whispered look* i iiig up imploringly. 1 "Ay?ay: l.ndy Oolava: the salt sea j has its ain at last. The hoatie'a drifting bottom up yonder among the break! ers: but the bonnio young captain lies deep at the feet of Sleat-na- Vrecken."

And she had loved | the iioi)!e young man so tenderly, so admiringly! Dead! she wrung her hands, i and the wild t<>ars eaino, and relieved her bursting heart.

'I he whole of the Sleat na-Vrecken was roused by the fatal ending of the I brave young Englishman. In the few j visits which he had paid to their huts : with i Iwi. his hearts simpl" goodness i had disarmed every prejudice or sense of 1 strangeness, and the romance of his rescue had had its influence upon their minds. | They had admired him when he i waiked besido their Oolava. and some had forecasted io\e and marriage between the "towiy par." Tli bo; moar.ed his 11 lit mely f;it??, and dreaded ; its effect upon their la y, and with fho earliest dawn they were out searching all round the flinty shore. They found the boat and they fo.ind the fi.rs, but not poor Edgar. There were two men who slept none that night, although they passed it in very different scenes. 4 Sircombe spent a night or bloou-cnruling horror in his own study; Ken more wandered anion? the rocks in the storm. In tho morning tho heart strings of each man tugged at him till ho had to sicul to Lady Inchcape's rooms aud try to sen her. They in t at her door. Each started at the >p ctral appearance of the oilier. Sircombe noticed tlie dren-hed and storm beaten condition of Kenmore, and he :-tagger el back aga nst the doorpost ,n an agony of guilty terror -\ou'vo been?you've been wandering about ail night?" whispered he. -Ay, Mr. Sir omb said Kenmore, hoarsely, averring his eyeG from the man who had tempted him to atft the sneak 'And?9poak out:" almost screamed Sfrcoinlw?"what have you /onnd out? found, f mean?"?the amendation be'ng due to Ken in ore's curious glance. lor a Ions minute the old Highlander did not speak; In- was scanning the changed face of the secretary, and for the first time it was entering his mind to suspect Mr. j Sircombe. What should i find, but dool an" sorrow for a braw young man cut off in his prime? Hut whist!" The door was opened by Lady Ineheape's ma d. Mary, that thoughtless, affectionate girl, who had once through her bungling, contributed to Lord Inchcape's suspicion of his innocent wife, "i merely wished to inriuire how the ladies had passed the night," said Sircombe, glancing past her. "Not well, 1 fear," said Mary, grieved)v: "the shock of tlie accident has been drecdfirl. Neither one lias lain down: 1 wish 1 had known, I would have waited up. Hut niv lady's always that wa y.'' Lady lnehcape had heard the muttered coHo'juy, and catne herself to the door. "Lady I'lva is very ill," she said, in carefully chosen phrases "the exposure yesterday, added to tin- unexpected accident, has contributed to prostrate her completely. She is now lying on my bed very feverish. I must* trouble you i for some medical assistance, Mr. Sir- j combe." So jealously she strove to hide poor Ulva's secret! l.ut both the men before I her divined it. and oh, how it tore at ' their hearts! Ivcnmore strode away with a sense of sufTocation, and a cry from liis inmost ' i I r?uiu. "</h, Captain Edgar. if ye wore but | back attain. I wad gie ye my heart's ; blood to buy your love for Oolava!" Hut ijircmnbc's soul was writhing in . the panics of jealousy, and be was glad that Edgar was dead or dying. He ventured to plead with I.ady Inchcapo for a sight of the sick girl, "that ho : might examine Iter medically," but j earned for himself one of my lady's ! haughty refusals, and Itad to content himself with compounding and sending ; I'lva a medicine for a feverish cold, and i retiring to his own business with raging 1 spirit. Another day passed: another night fell. This storm was succeeded by a perfect calm. This night the lisher peo pie all went to rest, for there was no j longer any hope of recovering Kdgar's 1 body. Sircombe had sent an account of I the accident to the authorities on the mainland, with a brief and obscure account of the attending circumstances; but Kcnmoro had not been (mc of the crew who manned the boat. Kontnore had not slept, had scarcely broken bread since the-catastrophe: for his heart was br aking over I'lva And j now that a spflpfcion of Sircombns had ! come to ha Hut him.

The wide Atlantic stretched be-j fore tho little l*ay: it was a solitary spot, wild and mysterious. The summer skv was white an i silvery with a broad moon; Kentnore could >-o j objects far and near, with those keen, practiced eyes, as if it were noon-day. As he sat, too weary and sorrowful to think any more, with his hark braced against the rock, he heard a long-drawn, quivering sigh at his very ear. There was no terror in his mind as he looked round, and then stood up to see ! tetter, for thero was so. nmck^ltumuu j distress in that sigh that his instant impulse was to help the sutTorer. But no mortal was visible, ti'reat horror fell upon old Kenmore. Ilis heart melted like wax within him.

There was a brief brrt pregnant silence; Kenmore was straining his earsJ for more, all his suspicions of Sireomb** on the alert; Edgar's very blood ran. cold as it, for the first time, flashed upon, hint that Kircombo had played him false.; "Who said J was drowned?" cried he.'
