This time the sound did not arouse Mf«v

The sound of blows, struggling, and the
reports of a pistol, aroused the wife once^
more. Amidst her terror It she had {he gMd'
sft.se to light the gas. sboua- upon a
spectacle of horror. Her husband, welter
ing in his blood,-wrestling with a gigantic
-man, wliosg features were concealed by a
mask of black crape ; a man, the upper part
of whese person was clothed only in a
knitted woolen shirt, of some dark color,
with sleeves that left his great arm bare.
On the right one, the qpe-which clutched
Mr. Halifont’s throat,* was a red liiark or
brand, a scar a birth-mark. It would have
been impossible fos Mrs. Halifont, even in
a oah-vr movement to tell what it was ;
sfie - nripressed Ktelf' «ifer
mind, Us bravely cast herself into the
struggle, and fought with all her might to
drajf the horribje lmtid from her husband's
throat, screaming all the while for aid
A blow, a kick would have silenced her.
The burglar must have known that, but
there are very bad nien who could not use
violence towanj a womail to save their own
lives. This-mari could not. His compan¬
ions h udSown with their booty ; help might
have arrived at any, moment. With a great
effort he wrenched himself ffom the clutch
of his victim, and let go his throat, and spoil

arrived, now that it was to» late, but Mr.
Halifont did not live to tell the story.
was mortally wounded. Ills young wife
watched, by ins bedside until he breathed
his last,, then dropped beside*it Senseless.
For weeks sfie raved in wild delirium of
the murderous hand, 'of the great muscu¬
lar arm with the scar upon it, and called
upon them all to save her husband’s life ;
but she was young, and had a fine constitu¬
tion. After a while her health returned,
and, at last, her mind regained its equi¬
She removed from tne city and took up
her abode in a lonely country place, with a
favorite sister for a'companion. She had
resolved, as all widows who have loved
their husbands do at first, to remain a widow
forever. And indeed, though many men
would gladly have tempted one so young,
beautiful and wealthy to change her rnind
on this point, she seemed to care less for any
orie of them than for the kitten which
purred upon her knee, or-the little blaok
and-tan terrier which ran by her side along
the garden paths. She Was nineteen when
her husband, was murdered ; at thirty-two
she was still true to his memory.
Is any one forever utterly true to an
other’s memory out of a romance—any one
who does not die young? I fear not. In
this, the lapsing summer of the woman's
, jfe> when she pretended to believe that
»utumn had actually come, temptation to
inconstancy assailed her. For many years
a fine house upon the neighboring estate
had been empty, ... but now there came to . take . ,
liossession of it a gentleman not yet forty.
A widower with plenty of money and no
children ; a handsome man, well built and
stalwart, with magnificent black hair, and
eyes that were like black diamonds. Span
Utreyes .indeed, he called himself a Span
iard, and ins-speech betrayed a formgn
accent.
The dark eyes and the blue ones met, a
few neighborly Words exchanged, a call fol
lowed «»■ Mrs. Halifont felt a new
emotion creeping into her heart. She feit
pleased and flattered by this stranger's
admiration. Then she knew she was loved,
again. .
At first she was angry with herself, then
wept over iier inconstancy, but at last
sh '' yielded utterly. After all, it was the
love that made her untrue. Since she had
loved, she could never pride herself on
being fa.thfu! again, and so she listened to
the sweet words that, despite herself, made
her happy, and promised to marry Colonel
Humphries. .
Wh.n a widow does marry a second time
she generally contrives to make a fool of
herself.
Mrs. Halifont had certainly not done as
foolishly as some widows do. Bhe had
neither chosen a little boy, or a titled Ita!
ian without moo
in macaroni.' I

would regret not Iwnng choson some one

The room, the window of which she had

conservatory. She saw Colonel Humphries

out to the warm sinshine that fell through

Hand and touched him. Why did she not
speak, and oall him by name? Why did
she sink dewn upon her hands and tremble
like an aspen leaf? Alas! the awful
reason was this : Upon that arm to which
she was about to give the right to clasp her

grasped lior dying husband's throat. She
had learnt it off by heart; she could not be
deceived'. Though years had rolled away,
that horrible marked arm was not to he fojr
gotten or mistaken for any other.
Suddenly Colonel Humphries felt himself
grasped hy a hand that, small as it was,
had the fleree clutch of a tiger’s claw, The
fingers closed over that red .mark—a white
face came close to his. •’
'“You are my husband’s murderer!”
hissed a voice in hU oar.
Then the two stood staring at each other,
Ib> had made no denial. He only looked
down at the red mark upon lift arm, and
cursed it aloud.
‘How dared you to make love to me?”
she gasped. “You—” -
“Because I loved you,” he said “Wo
man, if l had not fallen in love with you
that night, I would have killed you- also,
I was risking my life to spare you, with
your scream* calling men to hunt me

“O, if you had but killed me then!” she

She answered :

murderer of my husband must be brought
to justice, and I—yesterday, nay, an hour

She jemembered saying this. Afterwards
a strange drowsiness overcame her. She

She fSintly recognized the fact that Colo

and strange, wild dreams, and she awakened
in the twilight and found herself bound fast

arms tying her hands and confining her feet.
So her servants found her; but she was

This jewelry belongs to a lady residing

A story comes from Chlcagh, which it is
to be. hoped for-humanity's sakp will hot
be confirmed. A gentleman said to he
prominently connected with the Ilaydetf
expedition gives a very different account of
General Miles' vietory over the bannock
I ml tabs frotn any that has heretofore found
its way into print. He. siate# that th*
Bannocks wanted to surrender, and sent a
Crow scout, accompanied by two Bannocks,
to Oencrai Miles to arrange fa rins of
capitulation. Miles tvas at the time
escorting a pleasure party through the
Yellowstone Park, the party consisting of
his friends of both Sexes, guarded hy a force
of soldiers. When the arrival of the two
Bannocks was announced,’ Miles ordered
them to he put In irons, and leaving enough
9oWifi,f! 40 protect his civilian friends in
their luxurious frontier life, he set out with
the rest-of his men for thfa Bannock camp.
The poor Indians, seeing tfie soldiers
corning, joyfully turned out; to meet them;
when General Miles ordered his men to fire,
W lilch they did, killing men, women, and
( . b]]<lrM) indiscriminately. Seeing that
they were to he mercilessly butchered, the
Indians showed resistance, hut were soon
overpowered. .Such is the story. , Iftrue- ...
which we very much doubt-another most
atrocious outrage upon- the Indians has
been committed.
