Penalty ef Initials. A Danger Averted Bv IOSF.PH C. CRANE I From my first meeting with Agnes Myrtle she showed a partiality for me. 1 was fancy free, but 1 did not faucy Miss Myrtle. Circumstances threw us together a great deal, but I never real ly made love to her. Nevertheless she persisted in assuming tiiat there was more between us than a mere acquaint ance or friendship. 1 should have scented danger. Indeed. 1 did at times realize that 1 was drifting into trouble, but tbe ouly way for me to break with her was to go to live tn another place. This was scarcely practicable. How long matters might have drift ed between me and Agues Myrtle bad I not fallen in love with a girl whom 1 desired to make my wife I don't ■XLL1—1—iL_iiijiJiw« i iin jrwr— rr-ri— know, Agnes beard of my attentions to tbe lady 1 admired, but she did not evince any Jealousy. 1 became eu- gaged, but still Miss Myrtle did not show any signs of waking trouble for me. 1 was congratulating myself that she would be above annoying me or was. after all. indifferent to my en gagement when one day I received a telephone message from her say'.ng that she was not feeling well and would like me to call upon her ’profes sionally. I wished she bad called In some one else. Indeed. I was surprl jed at her calling upon me after she b ad so often assumed that we were Io vers and I had become engaged to another. Nev ertheless 1 thought it bett.er to make the visit I found her becomingly dressed in negligee costu me lying on a lounge. She told me tha.t she needed a tonic, and I prescribed one that was perfectly harmless. She risked me what ♦ it was and when I told her said that I she needed something stronger. She had once taken arsenic In small doses for tbe purpose of building up her strength and preferred that I should give her some compound of which ar senic formed a part. Arsenic is a common medicine to give for tonic purposes, so I wrote just such a prescription as 1 had written many times before. Agnes took it, ! Nichols —Aiming —At the M.
