Among the prisoners was one at the registering of whose name at his sail ranee M irion hail ha n prese..t, and something in his youthful though sullen face, attracted her glance, lie had stolen repeatedly from his bene, factor, and finally had admitted into the house in the night limy a gang of burglars, who had secured considera ble booty and made oif with it in sali ty, save one, after severely pound ing the proprietor of the hon e This one who was not able to escape, be- miracle.

Marion left die ward with a shocked and anxious face. “ Let me know if there is any vintage, or you think of anything that I cun do,” she then said to the •doctor. Hut at dusk the doctor was called a .ay by serious illness in his own family, and near midnight, the assist- nni, going his rounds, found Aymer Preston dead in bed. *• It’s either make believe or heart break,” Dr. Putney said, sharply, when wvrd was brought him, and he ordered that Preston’s body should I/e wrapped in blankets and not re moved tilHic saw it. The order was obeyed, but when three days saw no change in the form, Dr. Putney having meanwhile examined it, it was removed to the «iissccting room. Ma rion Hyde’s window commanded n vie w of this mysterious and i error inspiring apartment. As she stood sit ,’ner window that night, she thought, with a va ue thrill of pain, of the one cold, still tenant of that terrible room. She was not a timid, superlilious creature, nor by any means given to nervousness; so when she saw the •window of the dissecting-room slowly lifted, and a gaunt, wild face appear Ml the opening, instead of screaming -1 r running away, she stood still. She knew that her heart was throbbing wildly, but she knew also that it was no phantom she looked upon. Doc tor Putney had been right nil the time. Aymer Preston was uot dead, and thus he was making one wild •effort for liberty. Marion Hyde stood and .watched hint. She could not have called out just then if he had been the most desper ate and hardened criminal within those walls. Besides, tha poor wretch was only mooking himself.
