And tie had his own way about the place, •and the children grow fond of liim. II used to play alum with tlioai, am tell tbetn stories, and row tho.n in Ins boat on the lake Ono day he persuaded his step mother to go, too. I happened (o be near the little dock as they canto in, and saw him take her p. nitty little hand in his to hand her ashore. As ho did it she gave a little cry. And he said; ‘'What is. the matter, tnum.i a?” as gently.as a mother could speak k o her bahv.. “I think a wasp must have stung mo on the hand,”, she said,. -looking at her palm. '•Yes,” he. said, “here goes one.” Ho struck in the air with his hand kerchief, and expressed himself in murderous lerms about all wasps, and took his oars and put them hi (he boathouse and followed his step mother up the' path. She walked on looking at her palm, and now and then shaking her hand us if to cool it; out a wasp’s sting is always painful, and 1 only called to the youngest boy to tell him to tell his mother to put ammonia ou it. That night they sent fm me; but when I saw her hand was swollen and black l sent f »r the most • celebrated her, and the 1 share of the money was divided amongst her children. Law rence llapgood made nothing by his step-mother’s death; but as ho was thoro to euro for the jittlo boys, the trustees left them all in the old house. And a year went by with out any ovent, when ono night my bell rang violently* and answering [if‘I saw the old housekeeper from llapgood house on my doorstep. “Come /quick I Como qniok, Doc tori’’ said sliOi “I’m afraid poor Louis is going the siiiyy way his mother dul.

Mr. t Law- renoo llapgood had seen .a great spi der crawling away, and hud erushod it with his foot. Tiio remains of iho .i.tisect were siiil to lie seen on the floor. It was of a venomous kind. A verdict was given accordingly'. { The great 4qJtor J have spoken of declared that iherb must havo been something hi the cqn8tjLii(ifjiiS of Mrs Uapgood and her hoy that ren do reel them peculiarly liable to blood poisoning; and when I talked jr over with tlie housekeeper she said she supposed it was so.

Louis aloud, and Mr. ttiwreiioo spider, as, indeed, all did. L’hut was when my first- crept into my mind. lLtt now the property belonged to the two Soiidl- est boys, not to Mr. Litwren.ee;. and they; were young enough to be hi* children;ami still lie was I ln ir. friend and proioetor, trying to comfort them, and taking r-heiii to chureli every Sunday, where his responses were very loud and his devout man ner greatly admired by the ladies, ami I’d never lia’vo breathed u word of what I thought if.that had been the end of it, but it'was not. Ono day little Fm^Ylied. lie lm<B pPm fishing, and came in shrieking ddtil pain. Something bail bitten him. There was the mark of the bite over his ankle. Lit tle James, the lust of the lot, gave bis testimony. Brother Fred was on the wall, and thore were “things .flying aboilf, and Lawrence came up and stiitj; - “Oome, lad; next we know you’ll get. u full uml be drownetl perhaps;” and caught him by the hukIo. Thori he was bitten. It was the old story, the old ver dict. Another grave was dug, and James lived alone with step brother; and a yeui went by, and two, and still another, and I began to say to myself; “What a fool 1 was for thinking in a vaguesort of way that Lawreuue had something to Mo with the three deaths at llapgood house,” when one night 1 walking near it alter durk, and stopping to look at (lie old place, saw James sitting ni a window, with u light beside him. lie was h sad little fellow now, and read more than Was good for him' lie was reading now, his elbow on screamed saw the suspicion on children, but I saw the expression on the man's faco, and it horrified me. I cleared the fonca at one jump and Hqw up the path. Lawrence was gono but little James sat looking at.his finger. “Something bit mo,” ho said, in his plaintive voice; “I shall dio like mamma and bft>tlioVS; , ’ T But I picked him up in my arms uml ran with him to my shop, which, as you 8oo is near by. There was a wound almost on the nail of the little finger of that little hand, and a Tvd line was travelling down the finger. iI consulted with no one. I put the child tinder Lho influence of chloroform, and. I amputated the liny finger. il’lie child was faint and ill, but luid. a topped the sprout of the poison •Lid 1 put him to btid in iny own room, mid I left him, two hours af ter, quite safe to get oVor it. : Tlion 1 took my big revolver, uml walked over to llapgood lions'*.' Lawrence was at the door, with his Iiypocntical emilt*. “i'tn looking for poor little James, Miv Juhr,” ho said. “I’rh anxious about him. Such a fatality attends ':my poor .step.-mpthor’s family.

He drew off the ring, tossed it us far as lie could, and 1, still with my revolver pointed toward him picked it Tip with my handker chief. I took care not to touch it, and had it in my shop before many min utes. It was the sort of ring that, in the sixteenth century, was called a.“ilealh ring.” A horriblo poison is bidden in tlioso claws. When persotis at the court of Italy grow troublesome, tnose who wore the ring shook hands with them pressed the ling into their palm. The pois on entered their veins. Before dawn they were dead.
