CHAPTER XLIX (Continued). Laura Montcalm .did. not heed chat her counsel had risen and was abou to speak with his usual delibera tioh. She looked out at the blue sk and the white clouds. wondering vaguely why God had created beings to pass through this fever and delirium called life. Something in her lawyer's voice-some new slight chord, made her look at him. His face was impassive as ever; the twinkle that had been in his gr&y eye three hours \Bgo was now suppressed. There was noth ing in his appearance to found a hope upon, bttt he. was making an unexpected request. He was asking pei mission to bring forward a new witness for the defence -a witness, who hud arrived that day by the Northern train. : , A spare man, with close-cut groy halr t a face worn and sallow, with strange sad eyes and a red triangular sear high up on bis temple* came to the witness stand. His manner *as composed, yet a close .observer might suspect that he was holding strong emotion in .check. He lost control of him self for ont< second only. He took the witness's oitti with calmness, he looked over the faces of the jury, the judge the lawyers, but when hisrtyes fell upon the prisoner he gave b percep&ble start, a flush came into Eis thin cheek; and he looked hurriedly

* W Sh(L on her part, looked at him in a bewildered way .as though recognition struggled with reason. _ , Hβ began his statement. His name, he said, David Huffman Holt. He was khdwnin this city, where he had been for some years head clerk in the warehouses be lonein" to Captain Montcalm. At this announcement Laura hardly re {rained from uttering a cry. She thought that this man-this true friend, was dead ; others had thought so too. A murmur went) through the crowd, and the btute s attorney said: , , . t «I beff pardon for interrupting the wit ness, but dm ing the progress of this trial it has brten stated that David Holt, head clerk of Captain Monfccalm, was imbecito had been Tendered so by an attack of brain fever, had escaped from an asylum forp«r sonsof unsound mind, and was thought tobe dead, as nothing had been beard ot him for many months." . . •' Part of f.his statement is true, the wit ness said, calmly, though his face had j flushed and the triangular scar on his temple turned purple. "A brain-fever did pro duce a temporary derangement of mind. I lost all recollection of past events except iWse of earty childhood. 1 lost the power of speech in. & great measure, and the faculty of reason. I was placed for treat mentlnah institute for thei dire.'Ofbhun and nerve diseases, from which I one day strayed away. Being considered harmless, I was not under C'trict surveillance. 1 fell in with kind-hearted people, however, who cared for me. Six weeks -age, the pam in my head, which had tervals, grew ffiorf severe andlw«e thrown into a high fever. I was then travelling with my Mends; They stopped for a physician. He was a skilful and Doted surgeon. . . He made an ex amination, ; and found ye^pygß brain trouble had- restilt&d fro*-* MfP on the head whicti had the skull The broken part pressing on the bram- had caused the inflammation, the Jeven and, the mental derangement and.lpse.pl rfetollec-. tion. He had'had several similar cases, and had relieved two of these by the operation Of trepanning the skull. He proposed to iff this operation in my behalf, as ifc was thVonly hope of acuVe. My Wends con sented. The fractured part ot the skull was removed by the surgeon's saw, the bruised brain and membrane removed, and a silver plate fastened over the wound and the skin replaced. You can see the scar of the recently - healed wound. After the fever had subsided, and 1 had slept for thirty hours without stir riho- I woke restored to a healthy menta Btate. My thoughts were at first confused; but they soon tfrew clear and im mediately spoke of the last vivid impression my mind had taken oh—the killing- of Cap tain Montcalm. My friends had not knowfa my name or my former associations, but they had ehancted to read of the trial of Mrs Montcalm for murder, and the,supposed complicity of Mayor ■ HeothoUff -in the crime. I was told of it, and I hastened here the Very hour my strength per mitted, thatlmights&ve&ninnooent woman,, and clear the name of a blameless man. I have the certificate of the physician who attended me, also his swbrn deposition that I began to'speak of the murder, and gave a statement (which I shall presently live you) as soon as niy reason was restored. I have also with me one of the Mends who nursed me in my illness, and who will cor roborate my statement. As to my identity with David Holt, this cruel fever me into a prematurely old mam withthisgfey hair and these sunken eyes, but sui-ely I have acquaintances in court-room who recognise David Holti" • ■■■■■•■ :_• ; , "Yes, yesj I know you, "I know yon " •' He's been through the furnace, but' it's- David Holt. I'll swear to fclffljfg cried Sevferal voices. ' " „ , ,■ ■. Order was called for, and thfe wittiess Wtte told to resume hie statement, and tell what he knew of the murder. Shortened by the details elicited by cross-questioning and by We arbitrai-y requirements ot lep;al ; for mality, the Story he t6ld was this: When he had brought Mrs Montcalm fcaek from tite island, had ffiven her fethers letter telling her that Ira -Heath- Cliff was her brother, and had seen her enter her husbaM'S houise, he did not'go away, as she bade him. -An*iefcy on her ac count kept him standing bh the portico. He knew of het husband's threats ; he knew of his violent temper ? he fearedthat in his niadfuryhe might attempt to injure her, and there was no one to protect heir, not fevefh a servant in th« house; Presently he heard excited voices: he«ould refrain no lonsrer from going in. He could do this, as Mrs Montcalm had left the latch key in the lock. He open-ed the dobi- and wfeht in. The voice he had heard was "Captain Mdntcalm's;«J.ttd|» , o«eedeafrom the further end of the hall. Before the door of the library he saw Mrs Mont«alm standing, white and defiant. Her husband stOttd jiis't within "tire dbor. DaVid could nbt see his form, only the tnenaclng arms as he ct»rifr6hted His wife and denounced 'frer in bitter, violent lantnlage.

to David that he might have touched him) ag he heard her shut and lock her door. Sβ turned back toward his study, his foot struck against the little dagger, and he picked it up, looked at it grimly, and laid it down on a shelf of a little cabinet that stood in the hall. As he was doing this a hand parted the curtain that hung before the door of the room opposite the library, and a woman came out—a dark, slender, handsome creature, who David at once knew must be the Mexican woman who had a claim upon Captain Montcalra. David had heard the story before, and this evening Laura had told him of the inter view the woman had had with Captain Montcalm in the old cemetery. It was the revelation she had then overheard which had stung the wife into defiance of her hus band's command. The dark lady approached Captain Mont calm from behind, and put her tiand on his arm. "Well," She Bftid, "you did not keep your promise. You did not tell that woman you would discard her, as you swore to me you would if she disobeyed you." Captain Montcalm wheeled and glared at her with rage. '' What the devil are you doing here still ? I thought you had left this house an hour ago." v T did riot taave it," she Said, " I stayed t6 witn&ss the interview with that woman, and to hear you discard her as you swore you would. I did hob hear it. So you mean to make up with her, do you, falne and cowardly that you are." "What is that to you? Leave me. It is enough to be driven wild by one's own j wife,'let alone—" " Your own wife ! That is what a right I have to be. I will not go away. I will stay here. . Tomorrow if you do not leave that woman" I will tell her everything. I will proclaim you through the city." "Curse you, you Spanish fiend!" Captain Montcalm cried. He picked up an oblong slab of onyx from the cabinet shelf and menaced her with it. The gleam of the dagger caught her eye. She snatched it up and said something sheeringly in Spanish. It seemed to madden him; he raised the slab with tensely drawn muscles, and the blow would have fallen on her head had not David rushed between them. The slab struck him on the temple and he reeled back stunned against the Wall. But he had an instant of vivid consciousness in Which he saw the blade in the hand of the Spanish woman bury itself ih Mohtealm'a breast—saw him stagger back to tho library door and heard her cry : " Oh, my God ! what have I done ? He knew nothing more distinctly. He had a vague recollection of quitting the house and making his way with difficulty to his room ih the warehouse, and of falling ufxin tbi bed. After that all was , blank, (To be Continued.)

Its romarkable action lms mystified doctors, delighted sufferers, and dispelled the doubts of the moat incredulous. Its virtues are praised by thousands all over the land, who have been rescued from years of Buffering and torture with every species of dtseas©, and granted anew lease of heal fcliand activity. When physicians have certified to theirinability to cure rheumatism, neuralgia, and other very painful disorders by giving up their patients to the stubborn claims of pro tracted disease and possible death itself, the St. -Jucobs Oil, by its unpretensious merit, has 'gained in every instance yet greater fame from its almost magical -influence Dyer, these diseases. This remedy has no uncertain or. miraculous history; its decided, pow.er resides in a peculiar volatile oil*, carefully, distilled from the Pinus Sylveatris, and has.been used and distri buted for hundreds of years by the inhabi tanta.of the Blact. Fpi-oat, a mountainous Ittid, deadly wooded region in Baden and \Vurtenibu*gi Oecmany. The introduction of the St. Jacobs Oil into Australia has boen attended with the same distinguished results as have ever characterised its employment in Araerioaand Europe; and its adoption as the national remedy for rheumatism, neuralgia,, and. all painful diseases is assured., When it is considered that this wonderful pain-banisher and health-restorer can be had at all drug stores for such a small sum, it appears as a matter of duty to every sufferer with rheumatism, neuralgia, or kindred complaints to seek the relief which St. Jacobs Oil cannot fail to give. Try it and you will be convinced. ELECTRICITY IS liIFE. Dk. SCOTT'S ELECTRIC APPLIANCES Have saved"many lives when the best medi cal aid has Mgnally failed.

Highly Popular Fiction. 1 most important announcement. a great work BY a GREAT AUTHOR. Specially Illustrated. ■ it has been our pleasure to announce from time to time for publication in the Star Works by Novelists of the highest eminence among Authors of Flotion, and we have now a more than ordinary degree of satisfaction to stating that negotiations have been concluded whereby the readers of the Star FlttttonwW have supremo enjoyment of A MSW ajnjj BRILLIANT STORY by William Black, Author of "Macleod of Dare." "A Princess of Thuie," &o. This is the first occasion on which Newspaper readers have had the advantage of ft Seridi Story written by thie great Novelist at first hand, and in anticipation of the customary Publication in volumo form—an advantage which, we are confident, readere will hot b° slow to appreciate. THE TITLE Of the new and admirab'e story, written by WILLIAM BLACK, to appear in the STAR SUPPLEMENT ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, IS SABINA ZEMBRA, Which will be a work in every way worthy ol the enduring fame of this Gifted Novelist. THE PLOT Of the new and thrilling story, entitled "SABINA ZEMBRA, " written by WILLIAM BLACK, Displays the genlusofa mastermind, develop* ing intensely captivating situations, and unfolding oxporiences of rare end thrilling interest. THE CHARACTERS In " SABINA ZEMBRA." the NEW and SPLENDID STORY, by TV7-ILLIAM I>LACK, Are creations showing great originality in con ception, and line, skill in treatment. The" Author's realism is so vivid that the men and women whom ho .introduces seem to Ike their lives beforo Uβ. and we are spectators not only of their public acts, but,of the inner motives which inspire them. We see clearly when noble and generous sentiments, or sclfluh and mean considerations, actuate. Wβ behold the inflated vanity of Sir Anthony Zembra,,M.P., as ho surveys the success of deft artifices .to popularise his name, and parade the status 0 the Zembra family in the fashionable ciroles 0* London society. We follow with an ever-ln creasing fascination tho fortunes of Sir An tony's discarded daughter, whose penohant for works of philanthropy leads her into many spheres of beneficence, but whose utterly un conventional habits and thoughts, having free play in a world full of conventionality, bring about most critical'devoidprhente. Fred Foster, a sporting man, with nature so wholly absorbed in the turf that racing evente seem to be the media through which he thinks, is a marveT 'ottsly well-drawn character; while Walter Lindsay, a young artist. Is never likely to be excelled as a representative of the bewildering madness which comes of love-siclraees. These are only central characters mot with in opening 6f the story; but the little we have seen of them is enough to warrant tie in saying the perßonages in Mr BLACK'S NEW NOVEL* once there, will live many a year in the re c oflections of ite readers. THE DESCRIPTIVE PARTS Of the NEW STORY, entitled "SABINA ZEMBRA,; , by f William Black, < Are written in the An thorns best style. Whether in the whiH of London life; with distingulslied. artists at the Royal Academy; amid the gajetiej, of the ball-room; among invalids seeking health by the sea at Brighton; or with hones* Jrish nature on the shores of the everywhere the reader is perfectly carried away with the charm ol the Author's descriptive power. . »j t. ■ ■ • :'■,■ .■ '■.
