" A gentleman to see her ladyshipupon important business.“ announced the groom of the chambers, throwing open the door of the countess‘s boudoir.

The proceeding was irregular. and un- accountany stupid in so well-trained a servant; but it had reason at the bottom of it—wcighf and older: reasons. safely deposited in t o poo 'cts of the blunderer‘s plush brecchcs.

The countess, disturbed from a profound reverie. half-rose as if to leave the room; but tho visitor already bowed before her. and summoning her utmost self-command. she sank back into horfoutem‘t, waved her hand to a seat, and coldly remarked:

“ You wish to see me upon business. nionsieur?"

“ Yes. madam, as you once came to see me. Like yours my crl‘and is one of life and death. I called to enquire why you engaged your late coachman to murder me last night."

In making this inquiry, with all the song froid imaginable. Doctor Desmond placed a chair directly in front of the countess. and scaling himself, fixed his piercing eyes upon her face.

"You are a madman. I know not of what you are speaking.“ faltcreil silo.

" Madam. we are not children. Do not let us Waste lime in foolish untruths. You have sought my life. as I can prove be. fore 'our own courts at any moment. All that 1 ask in way of re mrntion is the rea- son for the attempt. i’ill you give it?" The countess burst into tears, coverin her oycswilh her hands. The doctor fion his looks upon the red line traversing the back of the nearest one.

“ If. is useless to attempt to conceal iii- dcntify, while you carry that mark across 'our hand. inadam. said ho.

With a sudden impulse, as charming as it was childish. the countess ceased crying and voilently struck the scarred hand with the palm oi the other. Tho doctor smilcil. but insisted. hI am waling your answer to my question.“

" What was it?“

“ Why did you, through your servant. attempt my life lost night F“

I was so inconsiderate as todccline all inlet-lions. all dangers. and to live and thrive.

“ Well not quite. What do you nionn by saying that you died at the time your husband puisoned you? If you died then. what now animatos your body? Is it clcc- tricityi’" asked Doctor Desmond.
