Treat him as innocent, I pray, I command, till you have shown him guilty." "Away, uncle!" said the fiery Walter; "he is my father's murderer. God hath given justice to my hands."
And his friends, their hearts dead within them, praised Victurnien's conduct to the skies. Mlle. Armande prepared the way for her nephew's sudden appearance among them by remarking to her brother that Victurnien would be sure to come to see them, and that he must be even then on his way.
"Good heavens!" he muttered to himself. "Who is that boy? How comes he here?" Frank noticed his intent gaze, and wondered at it, but Mr. Wharton's eyesight was defective, and he did not perceive his nephew's excitement. "I see you have a young visitor, uncle," said John Wade. "Oh, yes," said Mr. Wharton, with a kindly smile. "He spends all his evenings with me."

Many, keen, and earnest were that night the meditations of Walter Lester.

The slight flush suggested to Grace that the aunt had awaited the nephew's return in the early dawn, and that they had spoken freely together before separating; but she was the last one in the world to attempt to surprise a secret from another. Still she wished to know the truth, for she felt a little guilty over her reticence in regard to her relations with Hilland.
"I am obliged to make use of my nephew's hand in writing to you, as I do not rise to-day. * "I go very fast to decline, and last night had a small fever, which I hoped might put a quicker period to this tedious illness; but, unluckily, it has in a great measure gone off. I cannot submit to your coming over here on my account, as it is possible for me to see you so small a part of the day; but Dr.
