The Interest which he had felt in this girl, who represented to htm so fully his ideal, was quickened ten fold by the bite occurrence. He had protected her from one whom he was convinced by ninny reasons alia disliked and who boiled her no good. The glance that had shot from ber eye as she darted off when he had freed her from Dr. Watson had spoken of gratitude.

With this Heushall had to be content. He saw that the singer was sincere in what she said ao far as he could judge. He went to Stoinway hall and got Heln rich Neuberger'a address.

English duke, but the church members were too proud of the prize they hud captured to be very cu rious about the previous record. aud the touch of mystery clinging to him only rendered him his more at tractive to us. For my part, I thought the strangest thing concerning him was that he seemed never to hold communi cation with anybody outside the town. A follow so engaging and companion able must have made friends wherever he went, and yet so lor.g as we know him he didn't receive one letter or tele gram from abroad not a single message of any kind. "At least, tlutt is what the postmaster and the depot agent said, and those officials keep truck of such tp'ngs iu lit tle towns, yon had butter bel'mva. "Ramsay and I got to b. quite inti- ufter a wbilo, and many were the walks and talks we enjoyed togethrtr. But he wasn't any more confidential with me limn he waa with others, and of course I naked no questions. Only once did he say something which might be construed as bearing upon the secret 1 was convinced that he had. It was in this way: Ramsay had dropped Into my office, and wo fell to conversing about heredi tary disease. It grew out of some case I was treating then. I don't remember what. Ramsay in his brilliant, earnest iwred in bis veins it would sorelv awaken toenrae their children. So he left ber, and almost crazed with sorrow himself he sailed for America where ha still remains. A little whila airn ha neara uiat ms oetrotbed was dead- killed by the donble shock of bis disan- pearance and hia mother's fearful and untimely end. 'Can you wonder, continued Ram say in a tone of subdued passion, 'that a species of bitterness often mingles, half unconsciously, witb hia sorrow for his parents? And is it strange that he feels almost as if they had committed a crime in bringing him into existence, knowing aa they did that be must perforce be dowered with the fatal, inevitable fam ily curse? "Tbis tale made a strons- Imnnautnn in my mind," the young doctor resumed. "At first I seriously questioned if Ram say wasn't himself the hero of it, and tliongh his apparent gayety led me to dismiss that thought, still I couldn't help feeling that the events he'd nar rated had in some way produced a last ing effect in hia life. "Well, matters wore quite tranquilly on for a year or so, aud Mr. Ramsay grew in the popular favor all the while. He was a liberal fellow, and his sermons were frequently rather unorthodox, but nis nocic worshiped him to snch an ex. tent that if he bad dosed them with atheism they wouldn't have grumbled a bit. The girls were in love with him, every single one or tnem, bnt never did they find the way to his heart. He reso lutely declined to be drawn into flirta tion, though be made himself asreeabls to au tne damsels, taught them German, played tennis and escorted them to pic nics with a gay impartiality verv nro voking to the sensibilities of the poor, anxious young creatures. "One morning as I sat in the drnz store talking Ramsay happened in and purchased a package of rat poison. He mentioned casually that the mice were bothering him, and stood a moment a-os- aiping with careless good humor and tnen went out "That night the deacon witb whom hs was boardingcame hurriedly to my office to summon mo. Rev. Mr. Ramsav wa taken very suddenly ill. I put on my bat and coat and went to bim at once. and somehow before Td reached his bed side it flashed over me that be had swal lowed the poison I saw him buy in the morning. The moment I entered the room I knew that it was so. "He lingered three days, suffering hor ribly, but not a word would be say as tc the motive of his deed. Before be died he showed me a photograph he wore upon his bosom the picture of a young woman and a child, each very beautiful and very like the other. And he asked that it be buried with him, and so it was. The church gave bim a most im- posing funeral and erected a fine monu ment over bis grave, and they have never ccasea, l believe, to mourn their mys terious but dearly beloved minister. For a long while they sought to find out the secret of his life, but the minutest in quiries failed to reveal a single fact With characteristic forethought he had destroyed his papers, leaving nothing mat wouiu tnrow light upon bis former niBtory. "I often recall him even now." added the yonng doctor, "and I can't heln won dering if he was not the hero of the strange tale he told me. And in that case was he insane when he killed him self, or did he do it because of grief for ms Detrothed? Who then was the child whose portrait he wore upon hia breast? "Sometimes I fancy that he bad com nutted an onense wnicn made mm a fugitive from justice and led bim at last to take his own life in remorse.
