your own fault. I am comuMs.-ioutd to
give you this opportunity of atoning for

"Most certainly not," answered Ar
chie, compojedlv.
“If you don't, you will never leave
this place alive. Ridiculous though it
may seem to you, it is nevertheless a
simple fact that I myself shall l-e put to
death unless 1 carry out tho instructions
that I have received, and those instruc
tion* are to make you obey or to kill you.
They are not pieasaut instructions: but
that is neither here nor there. I shall
carry them out. because I do not believe
[n any future state of being, and because
I would am a nr body rather tnan die.'
This was said in so calm and matter-of-
fact a tone, despite the incongruity of
such a declaration with the plaoa in
which it was made. Archie could not
doubt the speaker's teriousnes*.. He only
aaawertd:

«ertain. Yet the prospect of » few

sweet than hitter.
Ho thought a good deal in a fitful, di«-

“I'll give them a chant o to put me
out of the way,” he thought; that is
the least that 1 can do, after throwing
them over. But if they haven't taken
advantage of their opportunities at tlio
end of ten days or a lortnight, I shall
consider myself entitled to make a more,
and I believe lucia would be the best
place for me. A man who habitually
goes out tiger-shooting on foot ought
not to defraud his heirs of their inheri
tance for very long, and while he lives
be will have grand sport’ to keep him
from brooding over wdiat can’t be
cured."
The remembrance that he had an heir
made him remember Bobby Dai"’* let
ter; ami |erhaps it was the nosh lease of
life which lie had taken that gave him a
xrvater interest in that unlive than he
h.id hitherto felt. Could it be ixwnble
that Chetwudo had deliberately n-cutn-
fueudod him for an enterprise whn it
tuusi of necessity prove fatal to the man

there was no need to suspect him of sin

treacherous face; it was Imrrible to
think cf him as Cicely’s husband.
