I do it more for your sake than my own, as at longest my Uy on earth will be brief; but before I go J would lift this shadow from your young heart. "Dr. Wataon, as you well know, Is the nrnt of many physicians who gave me any relief from my suffering. He was the lost oiio to lie culled by me, because, like youriiulf, I hud conceived a most un reasonable prejudice against the man, Borne fool ih ntid idle gossip concerning his privute life, which arose from pure envy, I am now convinced, had warped my judgment. But from the honr he first took hold of my coso I have been a new man. I have been like one risen from tho grave. "It was he who discovered that old associations wore affecting my mind dangerously. It was he who suggested a journey Abroad, and, as you say, under assumed names. A disgraced name is like a deceased member of the body. If you have n wounded finger you are in constant (Vfir of hurting It, awake or hhe took a bit of sewing in her hand and turned her back upon him, ostensi bly to catch the receding rays of the af ternoon sun from the northern window; but he spoke her name, and for some reason unaccountable' to herself she turned toward him, drawn like the needle to the magnet. "Pupa, I fuel the need of the nlr, I am going out with Miss Miss Brown for a little walk," she said, rising ab ruptly. ji'- "Papa, Tfffl iht need of fng off." "I hav ordered th earring to be her In fifteen minute. Wait and rid,' asJd Dr. Wataon. "I prefer to walk," ah Answered coldly. "And I wish yon to rid," h said quietly. Again her eyes wr drawn to his and shs sat down obediently. Aa they took their plaoo in th car rtair Dr. Wataon seated himself opposlt Mis Crawford and by th aid of her father. The driv lMted two hour. , It wm dark when they returned, and Mia Brown wm startled to near her young BitatrvM cry out wildly m th door of their rorm closed spun them, "I shall Certainly, certainly go madr and then to (- her fall in a dead swoon upon tit floor. After ah wm rsstond to cousdona nna and tucked into bed with Mis Brown to watch bealil her, th old entlamAU apok confidentially to Dr. Wataon. "I thiuk you will bar to avoid show ing any attention to my daughter for Um," he sold, "M ah hM conceived out foolish prajodio against yoo. Jt t th whim of a mer child, and I trust you will mrard it lightly, but I am con vine) by ber manner during th driv thla Afternoon, and by her swoon, that she is considerably excited over this matter. "You have been Tery courteous and kindly attentive to ber, m it is your nature to be, I am sum, toward all ber aes. But I think it would b wis to tak no further nutio of her for torn din to oomte until sh outgrow this whim of ber." Dr. Wataon leaned near tit old gon le mon and told on band on his ahauldur, and gpuke in a low, grsvs oioi "My dear friend, I do not wish to alan a you, b aald. "Yea, I have been studying your daughter' mental con dition ever si no 1 first entered yonr srvioe.

IT you bear a staiued nam you dread th effect of it on every atmnger you meet Dr. Wataon realised what tlds strain would b upon m during our journey, and I must confess th relief I find under my alias Is Riarreloui You know bow I ha v Improved. The chill with which I wm attacked th morning of our arrival, and which decided us to remain her a few months bvfor pro ceeding farther, is only a step down on th bidder of health sine I began to clamber up out of the talley of death. Dr. Wataon Is my uvior. "I beg you to overcom your unrea sonable prejudice against him, my dear child. Whatever th errors of his youth I ata convinced D( wu mora ainned Against than sinning. H is your poor father's best friend now, and m such you must consider him." "Bnt why need ha 11 v her with us? Why ran h not tak a room a few blocks distant, within easy calir per listed th young girl "It destroy th privacy of onr horn Ufa and It destroy my peac of soul," she added wildly, "to hav him here," "That Is th sxtravagant langnage ol youth," rejoined th old man. "Your prejudice Is unreasonable, but 1 will strive to keep Dr. Watson from annoy ing you with attentions which he In tends only m courtesies to the daughter of his patient. "II must remain uuder this roof, Hli preneun I m agreeable and beneficial to m M it seems to be unpleasant to you. In tills matter selfishness Is the greatest unselfishness on my part, for the reatora tlon of my health I th first considera tion for yonr futur happiness." The sound of a ky rattling in the lock, Uk a rat gnawing in th wainscot, put an end to further conversation, and th door swung open to admit medium sited man in (his middle thirties, whose glittering, slo black eyes rested upon th fac of th yonng lady whll hit word wer addressed to her father. Th bps xprMed kind consideration for th iu valid, whll th yo expressed insolent and assured triumph in a fixed purpoM. While h talked with his patient h kept his gas upon th girl's face. Bhs sought to avoid those guttering eyes, but they seemed to fill the room with atrang light. which Tneed not refer. Onless she re ceives medical attention I fear for her. I beg you to leave her car entirely to me. Miss Brown understands her condition, aud w hav both wished to conceal the danger from you, but sine you have spoken it is better that you know the facts. Ignore any whim the child may have; pacify ber & best you may for the tlm being, and leave the result with me. You shall not regret it." The old man pressed the doctor's hand and tears came to his eyes. Nor suull you ever regret your inter est in m and mine," he said. "Thank God, I have money enough to pay you for this sucrlfl.ee of your whole time and akill in my service while I live, and you ahull not be forgotten when I die." The eyes of the doctor glowed like coals of fire m he bad his patient good night and stepped out into the hall. At the door of ber mistresss room Miss Brown stood waiting for him, fear in hor eyes. He put his finger to his lip. Do not be alarmed," he whispered. "The swoon was nothing. It may occur again. Keep cool always, and remem ber our compact In the Wagner car, when you promised to aid ma. You shall be well paid for it." And he slipped a crisp bank note into her willing hand. Hhe bowed her head. To-night, at 1 o clock," he continued, "if your young mistress takes her Violin and plays an air from 'Faust,' do not spottk to her or disturb her, Let her follow hnr own will, It may not happen, aud yet such an event is liable to occur," He passed on to his room, and Miss Brown entered the apartment which she occupied with her young mistress, who wm now sunk In a profound slumber. An hour and a half after midnight the weet strains of a violin breathing an air from "Faust" floated through the apart ment honsj. i A woman who lived across the hall heard it, and remarked to her husband that if ever a set of cranks lived on earth it wm the people opposite. i Dr. Watson heard th mnsio and laughed softly in his room, while his yes glowed like coals of fire. Miss Brown both saw the player and beard her music and muttered with pal lips, "Is he man or devil?" i , Just a moth later, man who hod been sitting in Chickering hall watching th xbibition of Professor Oscar Feld, man, ha hypnotist and mind reader, rose aud. walked, out, bsfpro th close o the entertainment. ' . A young man sitting near the aisl glanced up at him, slightly Annoyed At i U. A(..n.lnn .l V.. 1.1. "I hav en that fac before," b thonght, u t)i man poaaml on. The Mhlbltion grew in interest and th yourj man turned hi attention to th stage ; but the fac of th person who had just gou out danced befor him la Irritating suKgestivenewi, just luilln th grasp of hi tantalised memory. "When did I him bvforer li thought, and then, Ilk a mirage, th seen reflected in th mirror of th Was nor drawing room car two month pre vious flashed befor th mind's eye of Barry lisnsliall. He sriXM) aud dashed out of th hall In the crowds of people hurrying to And fro In every direction tt wm Impos sible to tell whither th man bad gone. II balled a cab, hurried to hi studio, mail a oamful sketch of th fac b bad jnst seen, and carried it to tit private detectlv who wm renowned for hi skill, "This man I n go out of Chicker ing hall half ao hour atro," he said, "Find his address for in and I will pay your price." It wm a few day over a month biter when ha received a telegram in Boston, whither be had gone th day previous, which aald i "Hav found name aud number. Com borne." "I mw the original of this sketob day before yesterday, driving in a carriage," explained the detective on UonshaU s sr. rival. "I followed aud saw him enter No, I- West Thirty-eighth street, I then followed th driver to the (tables. and Learned that Dm carriage had been reuted sumo three months befor by a family named Crawford, of lb number and street I mentioned," When Mr. Henry Hons ball presented himself befor the jauitor of No. 8- West Thirty-eighth street to mak inquiries concerning a family named Crawford, h wm informed that they took their de- pet tur early that morning and left no address. "They leased tbeaa furnished apart moots for tli roe months," the janitor ex plained, "and the time would not expire until next week some time, but they left today. "Perhaps they gave their address to aome the other ocvuiuiiiUuf th build' lug," suggested Mr. HeushalL "May I Inquirer But the Inqtiirienelicited nothing from the other people in the bouse. No on had ever exchanged a word with th family. The woman opposite Volunteered the opiiiion that they wer a set of cranks, and no belter than they onght to tie, In her opinion. "A rich old man, a queer woman, a fellow with sn evil eye And a craty girl who played the nddlu at So clock at night were not pleasant sort of folks to live opposite," she said, and sh wm glsd enough they bad gone, and sh bad no desire to know where they were. With these words sh slammed th door in Mr. Ileiuli all's eager face. That evening a woman whose gar ment bor the same relation to past ele gance that ber face bore to past beauty called on the janitor of Na 8 West Thirtv-elih,th street to make Innnlrie eonceruitig a man uy mo name oi ur Uonshsw. "No such man livin here, miss," re plied the jauitor, with that air of im portance iwculiar to the freedom of on who fuels the newness and greatness of re sponsible Untie. "The only doctor ever bin rotin yeuh in my day is Dr. Watson, and he's dun gone today." "Did lis go aloner asked th lady quickly, "No, the whole fumily dun gone, too Mister Crawford, Mis Crawford and Miss Brown." A steel blue light flashed from the. one beautiful eyes of the faded blonde. "And he left no address!1" sh asked quietly. "Nut any, miss. Oen m hero today lookln' for the same parties, but nobody know itiithiu' ntxiut them." The lady turned nud walked away. "Very well, Dr. Watson," she mut tered under hor breath, "I shall know who to search for now, and If you are on this earth my vengoiinc will yet find you.' (IVintlniiod next week.)
