So auying, ,l)r. vVal.ton proeuediid to the room where Lord ffiincia waa ttill knocking clamorouaiy. Ho auid a few words in a low tone to the man at tho door, and then ho prooeedod to interview the supposed lunatic. To- anyone less experienced than Or. Walton, Lord Francis would certainly luve aeemed to bo quite mad, but the doc- tor flaw at onco that he was merely suffer* ing from excoHsive nervous excitement. A few day' seclusion would, liowover, he thought, do him no harm, ab by tha* time, with a Tattle judiotous treatment, he would probably bo quite himself ugain. Was them something in Dr. Walton's touch or look that soothed Lord Francis, predisposed an he was to hypnotic in- lliiuiice, or was the doctor armed with some calming aiiiuathotic who shall say! But, as if by magio, rage and excitement sub- aidoii, and as though insensiblo to what mils piusing. around, Lord Francis sank down once more iutt the ehair in which he was sitting when he first saw Lucille de Vimiy. Now he was entirely in tho dootor's powor, he could do with him as he liked. The servant still outside the door was call ed into the room, and iirloas then five min utes Frank Onslow was transported te the doctor's carriage, and was driven off to the privutn mndhonsL' outaide the city, of which Dr. Walton was the diroctor. -From her bedroom window, by the aid of a gas lamp in tho street, Lucille de Vigny . saw him depart. "Now," sho said, "you are minfi, to do as I like with. You will not leave that place until you have absolutely given up Fonella ' . , t Mine, do Vigny was unattractive woman, and she had, an in tho instance'of Dr. Wal ton, hor alaveg. She forgot that Fonella waa quite as attractive, nay, niaro so, for sho was younger than Lucille, and many thought htjr much batter looking. She, too, had her. dovoted allies; Olithoroe Jncynlh was no mean opponent for Walton, save that Walton was ou his own ground. Still, if Mmo. do Vifpiy'waa not very much on tho Alert she might yet bo balked. For the moment, however, she decidedly held the trump cards in thin terrible life game. For some minutes after the oarriago had driven otruho stood by the window, think ing. The .lay had boon an ovontful one, and boforo tho morrow nawiiud oho must deuide on some plan nf action. A move nut of hor' present--quarters was inevitable, tiulesa "be wished to be lurtiodou'.- 71a- sides, oinoe she no Inncer dared cull lure f Mi a. Clnttorbuck, it was hotter to rraiuiniir as Mmo, de Vigny in a new pliico. She did not, however, wish to have iho city till circuuiDtnticet had uhapnd tliuinaolvea some what ; but New Viuk was lar^o enough for her to rem dn perdu for awhile if neceHHary. Sho counted hor dollars, Colonol Cluitor- huuk'a parting gift bud boon no moan i'lie. She would not wn money for aome timo to ctrnf. Having so fur urrnngd .hor affaire, and told thu maid to puck up, as thoy were goiiiK away for a fow-days, slip went-into the sitting room where Finnk Onatow had boon locked in for at leant an hour, and, as lib-' mrveyfd the debris, alio smiled, Whan .

The propriiitor e( it did not dare to run counter, to public opinion, and ho was artful enough to nhow how admirable and infallible was his ilya- leiu. Tint patients were driven mad in privutn, and petted in public. Thoy wore liteiftlly fawned upon and thranhod. Frank Onnlo-w wae-nuved by a miracle'. In bis darkest hour of diniietm he had lout hope in ovorything but prayer fur help, ptayer for doliveiunco, mayor that he urgiit bit rescued in order to protect tho hi'iplesH, H was nitting moodily iu hiH vooiii.torturod with the sense that bin reanou would aorm ho lost to him, when lienmiemhur- ed that I hia wan thu day when viaitors were admitted. Pie had prayed until I in brow diipped with agony. His experience of the curious visitors so far had not been very encouraging. Whenever ho attempt- ( d to get imo conversation with any of them, or to pass a letter into their hands, lie wan greeted with a smile, or ono of ihbso mocking laughs. "Poor fellow," thr.y whiBporod, "how dreadfully mad he in." If hot, they shrank from him as if he had been a wild beast. Tint i*rcafirou bell pealed at the asylum g'-tuH. Thero were voices in the hall. Frank Onalow lintened aud listened again. It was un KngliBh voice talking to un Am erican. Whero had ho hoard that, voiuo bcioro ! Thoy wore coming upaiaira" The vi.ieen, iudiatinct before, bi'came louder and Inude'r. Yea ; ho knew botii their voicen. Thoy were perfectly familiar to-hiin. "My Ood, is it nohsiblo? Can it bo true!. Are my unworthy prayers auswerod nt last ?" Tho door of the room opened, and before the imprisoned man stood Lord Cautleton mid the very AinuJicau detectivo who hud been eouauited when Frank arrived from Kiul.nd, Here whs an nnoxprotod dtsooverv. It wiih a miraelo of miracles. Thoro had boon no search for the mitiaiugp men. Thoro was no hue and cry. Lord Cuuileton, like most Englishmen of an inquiring (urn of mind, wanted to see tho Bights of Now York, in ordor to. record his im pression when . he returned homo. Ho had employed the services of one of tlio sharpest detective* in thn city to nbow him round, and by.a nuruclo ho had dmcovurud nnd piohably eaved the life and reuson of his old Iriond. In an instant the oilicor of polico under stood and grasped tho situation. Once givun iho elow; aud diftiiilticfl melt into thin air. It took v<*ry littlo lime Ut procure an order for tho rulesao of tho unfilruinate Kngliuh- man, aiid before nightiimo tho niMdicol pro prietor of the fashionable madhouse was safely lodged in.a.Nuw York prison, and available for ovidumeon tlio nubject of Mrs. 'Senator Cluttarbuck, and, most hnporiani still, tho safety and'whereabouts of the un- furlupalo child Uonny. At ono time it apptiarcd as if the troubles of Frank Onalow would end in an iiiihuh- pucted manner. The- drama waa becoming a tragedy. He waa released, it ia true; ho Waa safe onco more. The discovery of Ins child was now moro~ than probable. The difloornfortura of hia enemy, Mm. Clutter* buck, was nearly complete, hut the re liction after all this muntal and physical strain nearly cost Frank Onslow Mb life. Tho strouguat men break down at a given point, and now it wua Frank's turn to auo- oumb. Once outside the asylum heappearod to be more insane than when ho was in it, He wanted to tueo Ida enemy, and eworo he would kill her. Ho pteadud to scour New York tor tho boy. Ho rntdiud off to the ~Udl-g?aph ofiico to inform the wretched mother that ho win truu; aud alio might yet hopo, but tho strain was too much for even hia strong constitution, und when ho had placed in tho hands of the detective every atom of information he posaeHsed,' and had almost imperatively boon urged to leave the work of discovery .to tho hands of others, he went back reluctantly to Ids hotel, half hysterical with exuittmttmt, hut. utiorlv dead beat. Lord Custleton found Kin fiietid, noxb morning, raging in tho do- 'irinmol fever. At ono time, ho cried piit'oitsly for Fonella, and kinged tho pillow whore ho oeliuvod sho had mated ; in no* other iiialant hu was twiuiing tlio hid- elotln a into n knot, and imagined he was, at tangling Mum. de Vigny. In, the inter* vals h: waa sobbing, as if* his heirt. would break, "Hminy. K'uiny, my ,by, wy bpy 1" , No woman could'have.tended u'tduk nmn with greater devotion than."did Lord CV tleton.
