advanced to aid Bettis, and between them

The dame then asked bin. sternly
he believed the stains on his heads were

“These stains on my hands,” replied

under the cupola.
All were soon in the small apartment be-
neath the cnpola floor. Tho room had no
ceiling, save tho under side of toe cupola
floor, which was laid across heavy beams.
There was but one window to this room
a dormer window which admitted sutli-
cieut iight to reveal dearly of ladder-liko nil the interior, stairs
save the upper steps
that ledto the closed trap-door in the floor
of the cupola, the top of these stairs
rested against the frame work of Ihe trap-
door, and could be seen but dimly by
the persons below.
p n me Gripptrrd halted not far from the
ladder, and looking keenly upward, said,
impatiently: “Nonwnse! I see uotbinf? unusual

Pettis hurried up the ladder, and hur-
rierl down again, shuddering in frame and 1
voice, as he wiped his hands said" vapidly upon
a bundle of oakum, and
“Ugh! Jansen did not lie, Dame Grip-
pard! Ugh! How I bate this kind of
work! Utf! There is quite a pool of it up(
there on the stops just under the trap,
dame—quite a pool'. Ugh! Uff!”
“What a fuss you make about it, Pettis?”
cried the dame. “Is the trap bolted on
this side?” other side—
So, dame, but it is on tho
the upper side Uff! I gave the trap a
hard shove with my shoulder, aud couldn't
niovo it a bit. Oh! see how I have soiled
my coal! Gh!” simply

about.
“f am here, Hamo Orippnrd,” replieithe
Swede, who had iust entered the room

Jansen's heaterseexchanged glances of,
Ri. at interest in wliat he said. A grayish.
j allor again seized the dame's complexion,;
Imparting to her harsh and forbidding fun-
t in s a most ghastly aspect.
“ lint,” continued Jansen, after a mo- j
ment's pause, and hastening to the solitary
window, which pieced tne slanti r roof of
th it part of Ihe dwelling, “a veryncliveaud

Ho examined the window carefully. Alt
watched his movements attentively.
"Ah." I10 soon said, “if anv one did that
he did not fail to bolt down this sash after
he entered the wiudow. The assassin was:
no doubt a vory hold and cunning rascal.
" The assassin!" repeated the dame, scorn-;
fully, for her do-iro to find her debtor alivei
would not permit ner to believe that ho was
dead. "J'he assassin! ion are very fast!;

“I do not think anyjjiing but murder hasj

Lolow or at the gate this morunifr. moodily! Dame,
Grippard,” replied Jansen,
"And I,” remarked Edward, gloomily,
“ihink that nothing else than suicide has
robbed him of his life."
"And 1 declare here, before all,” said
Jansen in an agitated voice, and flashing
looks of hate at the dame ns he spoke, that
if Mr. James Riattou has committed am-
ciile his blood will be on tho head and soul
of this woman- this Helen Grippard, He
owed her more than he could possibly pay;
he told me so yesterday morning, poor:
And he told mo, te°. that ha

If James Bratton lies dead on that trap,

Jansen, who scowled in return, I believe
this Swede has lind a band in his death. I
