"Poor, poor girl, what shall we say to your father?" asked Charles, for he knew full well the fatal poisons in which the negroes dip their tiny barbs; and he realized that the Quadroon, who was a victim to her own scheme of destruction, could not live but a few moments. She seemed too far gone to speak now, and turned and writhed in an agony of pain upon the ground, while Helen strove to raise her head and to comfort her. The poison seemed to act upon her by spasms, and she would have a moment now and then, when she was comparatively at ease. The lowering darkness of her face was gone now, a serenity seemed to be gathering there, and leaning forward between the paroxysms, she held forth the hand which was not wounded towards Charles Bramble who stood tenderly over her, and said in a low, gentle voice: "Forgive--forgive me! will you--will you not forgive me?  HER HAND WAS FAST PROVING FATAL TO HER IN ROBERT BRAMBLE'S CASE IT HAD REACHED A VITAL PART AT ONCE AND HAD ALMOST INSTANTLY FATAL IN ITS EFFECT BUT MAUD WAS DYING POOR POOR GIRL WHAT SHALL WE SAY TO YOUR FATHER ASKED CHARLES FOR HE KNEW FULL WELL THE FATAL POISONS IN WHICH THE NEGROES DIPPED THEIR TINY BARBS AND HE REALIZED THAT THE QUADROON WHO WAS A VICTIM TO HER OWN SCHEME OF DESTRUCTION COULD NOT LIVE BUT A FEW MOMENTS SHE SEEMED TOO FAR GONE TO SPEAK NOW AND TURNED AND WRITHED IN AN AGONY OF PAIN UPON THE GROUND WHILE HELEN STROVE TO RAISE HER HEAD AND TO COMFORT HER THE POISON SEEMED TO ACT UPON HER BY SPASMS AND SHE WOULD HAVE A MOMENT NOW AND THEN WHEN SHE WAS COMPARATIVELY AT EASE THE LOWERING DARKNESS OF HER FACE WAS GONE NOW A SERENITY SEEMED TO BE GATHERING THERE AND LEANING FORWARD BETWEEN THE PAROXYSMS SHE HELD FORTH A HAND WHICH WAS NOT WOUNDED TOWARDS CHARLES BRAMBLE WHO STOOD TENDERLY OVER HER AND SAID IN A LOW GENTLE VOICE FORGIVE ME WILL YOU WILL YOU NOT FORGIVE ME
