Yet tle coroner found himself dwelling upon this wild fanoy, painful as it wes to him to harbor an evil thought of Dora Wyllard‘s cousin. ‘Thore were several points which foreed themselves upon his considerâ€" ationâ€"as it were, in spite of himeelf, First, Bothwell‘s changed manner toâ€" dayâ€"his avowal of a troubled nightâ€" m as of "h:l“h‘.-fl set. on , as of one. was . set. on the fact of his journey to Plymouth on that dayâ€"a journey undertaken sudâ€" denly, without any explanation offered to his cousinâ€"a scomingly purpossless ind maaay se on rermends absenting himself, business.in the town. â€" Hehad gone. and returned within a few hours, and his journey had been a surprise to his cousin and her husband. Thirdly, there was his clumsy attempt to explain the girl‘s death just now, in front of the inn door ; his unâ€" willingness to admit the idea of foul play. He who excuses himself accuses himself, says the proverb. Bothwell \had tried to account for the e_aueuopl_u on the line, and in so doing had awakâ€" ened the coroner‘s suspicions. After all, these links in a chain of evidence were of the slightest; but Edward Heathcote had set himself to unravel the my.hri.ol the namcleas dead, and heâ€"was. determined not . to overlook the slenderest thread in the web of that dark secret. “Ymooull.llr.\\'{llnd. seemed 3{.«.“"’ J iooieg beoath ols y o t y. # nmnwhl-'fo&iuwuun he looked this afternoon," _ _ _ _ GRIMSBY AND BEAMSVILLE, THURSDAY, NOAEMBER 5th 1885 "Wyllard is a man made of iron," answered Bothwell, carelessly. _ "I sometimes think there is only one soft spot in his heart, and that is love for my cousin.
