There are fonr'sisters known to mortals well.
Whose names are Joy and borrow, Death and
Love;
This last it was who did my footsteps move
To where tue other deep-eyed sisters dwell*
To-niglit, or ere von painted curtain fell.
These, one l>v one. betore n-.v eyes did rove
Through the brave mimic world that Sliakspere

Lady ’ thv art, thy passion wove the spell
That held me and still holds; for thou dost show,
With those most high each in his sovereign art,—
Sliakspere supreme, Beethoven and Angelo,
Great art and passion are one. Thine too the part
To prove that still for him the laurels grow
Who reaches through the mind to pluck tue

Robbed of Their Rights
—On-
Four Years Afterwards.
In the elegant library of Redwood mansion
Dr. McK->e and lawyer Braxley were passing a
comfortable evening over Burgundy and oranges
People had always been polite to Dr. Alcivee,
he was so polite himself, so plausible
and at the same time so dignified. His
lady patients believed in him, his tender, sym
pathetic ways won all their learts. It was this
seeming tender devotion, more tuan the slight
kinship between them, that made the widow Lo-
rimer, when she died after her long illness,leave
the hulk ot her property to her family physician,
Dr McKee, instead ot to her orphan niece, Bes-
sie'Dean, who had always been truly devoted to
he»- and to whom she willed only a small annui
ty. Bessie was so beloved in the neighborhood
that her friends protested against the will and
talked of disputing it, hut Dr. McKee was a
hieb’v respected mac and bo was Jawyer lirax-
lev, who had drawn up the will. Both stood
h’"-*h in the church and iD their professions,and
when at the pressing invitation of the doctor
and his wife, Bessie continued to live at Red
wood Hall, the friends seemed satisfied that
justice had been done. ...... . ,
B-ssie, at sixteeD, was the lighttst hearted
little maidento he found, and she and 1 er
cousin, yotng Lorimer, were ca'led the hand
somest couple in the country, iuey were be
trothed and were to have been married when be
returned from Europe, where lie had gone with
his father .Mr Lorimer’shealth had failed some
years before, and he went abroad in hopes of its
restoration, his son going with him to take care
of him. His health improved steadily and he
wrote announcing that he should sail on the
Havre at a certain time. The two devoted wo
men at Redwood were fondly awaiting the re
turn of their loved ones, when the news came
with the shock of a thunderbolt that the Havre
had sunk in mid-ocean and most of its crew and
passengers had been drowned. In the list of
the lost nere the names of Mr. Lorimer and his
young son.
This was four years before.
Mrs. Lorimer never iuliy recovered from the
sudden blow of her bereavement, and Dr. Mc-
lv**e was often called in to give her relief in ner
vous attacks. After awhile her health began to
decline more seriously, and in spite of the phy
sician’s unremitting attention, she grew slowly
but steadily worse, and at last expiied with her
hand in Dr. McKee’s ana her last breath bless
ing him for his kindness. After her death, a
will was founa in her escritoir drawn up by
young lawyer Braxley, appointing him her ex
ecutor and leaving Redwood and her other
lar^e Mia es to her beloved friend and family
phvsioiau, Dr. McKee. Ine widwas witnessed
bv two of Mrs. Lorimor's old retainers—one a
servant, the other a kind of agent or overseer.
The friends poured their glass is full of Burgun
dy, and sat slowly sipping it and gaziug into
xbe fire. At last Dr. McKee said.
‘Since I have been thinking about it, I am
efiad von ere going to marry Bessie. I am afraid
of her of late. 1 am ulraid she begins to sus
pect something.’
‘How should she?’
‘That chicken-hearted Browne may have let
fail some betraying word before he died. I tried
to keep her from his bedside, hut he sent for
her and she was there full five minutes before
I found it out. On the whole.it is best that she
should he married to you. You can hold her
nnderyour thumb. When is it to be?’
‘Never, I think, judging from the way she
talked tu-day.’
‘Why she wouldn t be mad enough to refuse
von-a beggar like her. What did she say ?‘
* ‘That she loved another. ‘
‘Another’ who the mischief? Why she knows
no other at all intimately.*
•You know she was betrothed to young Lori-
iner?*
‘Why he has been food for fishes these four
years.'Gammon! Loves a memory, does she?
That's a woman's coy ruse to entice you on. You
must press your suit, Braxley, and get the girl

a way that makes me almost sure she knows some

A knock at the door interrupted him. Before
he could say‘Come in* the door opened and a
man entered, wearing an ordinary traveling
suit It was Fitz Simoman, the agent or overseer,
who had superintended Mrs. Larimer's busmens
in her life time and had been one of the witnes

‘Carse him,’ muttered Btaxley. It is the
devil's own doings that the sharks have not
crunched his bones. What are we to do?*
But the Doctor’s yellow face had settled into
a calm and his eye had a hidden cunning pur
pose in its gleam.
‘You say they will be here on the ten o’clock
train tonight,and that they will stop at the cem
etery?’ he asked.
•Yes, they will be here and they will be sure
to stop. They will walk from the station and
the cemetery lies right on their route you know.
The old man seemed to care more about his
wife than his business, a great deal. But they
will be here tonight sometime and what in the
name of the fiends are we to do.’
‘You have plenty of money; go and get out of
the way. We will take care of ourselves,’ the
Doctor said coolly, ‘You had better hurry for
time passes.’
The overseer stared at him in amazement, a
moment, for his iron face told nothing; then he
turned and left the room. The instant he was
gone, Dr. McKee caught Braxley’s arm and said
in a hissing whisper.

aimed at Mr. Lorimer, but he dodged it, and j

•Curse you! 1 hissed the villain, savagely; ‘you

‘Come. Braxley—quick! I hear horses on the

as he dragged the insensible form of Paul toward
the cart.
Sure enough, the clatter of horses 1 hoofs rang
out clear and loud on the still a ; r—horses that
were evidently coming at breakneck speed along
the road that led from the village to the ceme
tery.
‘A party of reckless riders, who are not going
to bother ns,’ muttered the lawyer, as he pin
ioned the arms of Mr. Lorimer and hurried him
toward the tumbrel. ‘We'll throttle these fel

With yells of baffled rage, the wonld-be-mur-

treat a single step, a stern voice cried out in
distinct accenls:
‘Halt there! Our pistols are covering you!’
‘There is no fanaticism, no morbid weariness

CHAPTER II.
Rufus Lorimer and his son Paul, bad turned
into the city of the dead, where marble tomb
stones gleamed ghostly white in the, moonshine
and the willows threw solemn shadows upon the
grassy mounds.
Threading their way through the trees, the
two men stopped near a costly monument, bear
ing an inscription that commenced with tlitss
words: ‘Sacred to the memory of Margaret, rel-
5ct of the late Rufus Lorimer.* Down upon
their knees beside the grave sank the bereaved
husband and son, and bowing their heads to the
earth that covered the mortal remains of the
cherished wife and mother, the strong men wept
and trembled iu the bitterness of their grief.
Oblivious to everything around them, they
did not see the gaunt shadows coming slowly
along the drive that wound tbr jugh the cemete
ry. Neither did they hear the muffled hoof-
strokes on the hard gravei or the low rumbling
of wheels.
A rude cart drawn by a single horse, was ap
proaching. It was occupied by two men; these
two men were Dr. McKee and Braxley, the law-
yer.
Braxley, who was driving, was clad in the
coarse habiliments of a laboring man, and made
a fair representative of the common herd. * The
doctor was muffled to the chin in a rough great
coat, and his hollow eyes glittered like glass
beads imbedei in his ghastly face. As they
neared the Lorimer inelosure, the necessity of

and confronted the conspirators. i
‘Gentlemen, you are my prisoners,’ he said,

This man was at once recognized as the sher

come to assist in making the arrest in case re
sistance was offsred. But their services were
not required, for McKee and Braxley evinced
much respect for the fire-arms which the she -
iff exposed to their view, and passivsly permit
ted him to slip the handcuff? over their wrists.
At this moment Paul Lorimer, who had return
ed to consciousness, recognized his old love,
Bessie Dean, and sprang forward with a glad
crv.
‘Bessie T
‘Paul!
And he clasped her in his arms.
The doctor ard the lawyer were placed under
lock and key, while Ruins Lorimer and Paul
took undisturbed possession of Redwood. Two
weeks later there was a quiet marriage at the
old Hail and sweet Bessie was Bessie Dean no
more.
Fitz Simmons succeeded in making his escape

a term of years. Braxb.y finally escaped and

in the last hour of his life that he had murdered
Mrs. Lorimer, by administering slow poison to
her.
