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 in ‘-cur power, I don't hail like her actions of late I have caught her looking at me iu such a way that makes me almost sure she knows some thin^. So the sooner— 1 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 ses *o the will. He was evidently much ftgita- red, and his eyes had a look of anxiety and ter- r0 ‘\Vhat the devil is the matter?* exclaimed Dr. McKee, springing from his seat. *1 thought you were in the city and would be there a day or twe lou26r* * . ‘1 have just come on the five o'clock train.

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. him. He fell across the grave and lay as mo tionless as if he were dead. A blow was also aimed at Mr. Lorimer, but he dodged it, and j the next moment he was struggling in the arms j _ . , , D • of Braxley, who held him securely with one xllC P0IH2,S All(l NtiylllSJS 111 hand while he drew a handkerchief over his „ i* „■ • Wa».1i1 mouth to keep him from crying out.

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 lows aud bury them four feet deep in the adja cent woods, within the next hour; and who will be the wiser?

Do you com prehend?’ Braxley stared at him in horror and bewilder ment for a moment. Then he said slowly— exclamation, and dropped bis buraen The cause was apparent. The horsemen had entered the cemetery, aud were coming toward them with unabated speed. They were five in number and could he hear .I speaking to each otner in excited tones and urging their animals on. What could it mean? With yells of baffled rage, the wonld-be-mur- derers turned to fly. But before they could re 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 of life in holding ourselves ready to welcome the speedy coming of the Master.’ The Protestants of America and Great Britain contribute annually 6ix million to foreign mis sions.

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.

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 hnt McKee and Braxley both went to prison for a term of years. Braxb.y finally escaped and was never heard of in that community afterwards hnt the old doctor died in his cell, confessing in the last hour of his life that he had murdered Mrs. Lorimer, by administering slow poison to her. God s word is to be planted as an unmasked battery in the face of every wickedness, and his chosen gunners are to open an uncompromising ‘If we work on marble it will perish.
