The thought occurred to trim that-sonic terrible struggle was going on be- tween contending parties, and he was continued in this by some broken words, when he put them together, seemed to indicate that some unfortunate wretch was being overpowered and bound, thereafter, as Willie supposed, to be robbed and perhaps murdered. In any other situation he Would have felt pity for the poor Wl‘clcll who was thus being maltreated. had he been suddenly placed in the middle of the fray, tic Would have taken up arms on the side ofthc vic- tim, but as matters stood With him, he only felt enraged at being twice aroused from that rest which freed him from the miserable tho/tights of his situation.

It might have been that he could not bear the blood, and that he felt the shirt as at damning evi- dence against him. Yet he con- fessed afterwards that the feeling that ruled him at the moment was jar wish to be «altered from the irk- sorncncss of the adhesion. He pulled offhie jacket and vest, drew his shirt over his tread, and having proceeded thus far, he resolved on washing away from his body all traces of the blood. His trousers and stockings followed, and he stood naked, ready to wade in.â€" At that moment he heard a voice behind him shoutingâ€"- ‘ Stop there, boy.’ On looking round, he saw two dark figures running towards him, from the direction of Baltic street. Fear in certain states is folly. He ‘snatchcd up his clothes, all but the bloody shirt, which he felt himself restrained from touching, and took to his heels along the sands toward Bottificld. Nor did he slackcn his pace tor an instant in answer to the button, which reached his ears only to quicken his energies. Although the sounds ceased, and there \Vus no indication of the figures having continued their pursuit, he still run as if for a wager, and slackened only when he was well on to Fig gate. In all this course, it could not be but that he had been scornâ€"â€" The moon was still bright, and it was now three o’clock in the morning.

This procass he got through as hurriedly as his shiverâ€" lug limbs and benumbcd fingers al- lowed, and then made for the road between Leith and Portobetlo, yet still unresolved an to what refuge he would betake himself to. The abatement of his terror al- lowed of something like forecast,and it occurred to him that he might ven- ture back on the road to Lciih, and ascertain whether it was now too late to get hold of his shirt, which The dull sound in the wood directed ll’r"bubly had not been “01le by his pursuci's. The resolution had some of his natural foolhardinesn in it. Looking about and seeing no- ‘body, he commenCed his return.»~ On i'edcliing the spot the shirt was gone, and he shuddered as he re- collected that his name Was marked as it fell on his face, blinding him and saturating his shirt. Not a moment was now to be lost. He sprung again to the floor. He had been a fearless youth, but he felt now, for the first time, that his hand had accomplished sonic- thing which awed and stupified him. He had committed murderâ€"the murder of a human creature, and thc instinct which guards our com: iriou nature wrought within him, indicating the distinction between an immortal being and a crutchâ€"â€" Hurrying on his clothes he was dressed in a few moments, his first thought was to fly, but be had rev maiuiug in some calculation. He wrped the knife, thouin for a mo‘ ment What to do with it, and com- ing quickly to the conclusion that it would discover him if he threw it away, put it into his coat pocket.â€" Thc sash resisted him, but the vigor of despair overcame the obstacle, and he leaped on the ground. Looking,r about, he found himself in the lane, a place he know Well, and where he had often hidden in his boyish days. Taking to the supple points of his loos, he flew him still more. in consequence of upon it. The flash of recollection as to his name being on the shirt was follow- ed by putting his hand into the pocket to see if the butcher knife was there. It had fallen out, pro- bably in his flight, at least he could not find it at the place where he had doposited his‘clothcs. This alarmed his having, like other youths, carv- ed his name on the handle. The shirt and the knife together feund on the sands, would settle any ques- tion regarding the author of the murder. Whither should he now go? He resolved to go forward to Mussclbut'gh, where he had an unle whom he thought he could trustâ€" a Mr. Gitniour. He arrived there before five O’clock. The night had been beautiful, and the morning promised to break in sunshine.â€" Reaching a shaded place he lay down and fell fast asleep.
