Causes of Sto
lievi vai
By F. A. MITCHEL
One day a man of uncertain appear­
ance. so far ns age was concerned,
I called nt a dwelling that is considered
a landmark oil the northern end of
Manhattan Island and asked for the
lady of the house. Mrs. Van Valkiu
burgh, the occupant, asked her daugh­
ter Edith to go down and see what he
wanted. She did so. and the moment
she looked at him she started.
He was of medium height, very thin
and of a leathery complexion.
Ills
eyes were deep set in his head and had
a peculiar glitter, such ns is seen in
the eyes of one who has gone a long
while without sleep As to Ills age, be
might have been twenty-live, and be
might bale been seventy-five.
"Pardon the intrusion." he said.
"Many years ago 1 left this house,
which was then my home, to attend
lectures nt a university in Germany.
I have not been here since."
It seemed to Miss Van Valklnburgh
that she listened to a Punch and Judy
figure. Never had she heard or dream­
ed of such a voice. Tile vocal tubes
seemed to be dry and stiff. The Indy
involuntarily cleared her throat, as if
to limber that of her visitor.
“Will you be seated?” she said.
"Thank you," replied the man. who
was dressed like a gentleman of fash
Ion of half a century ago. As bespoke
he looked about him.
"You rent the house, do you not?” he
said.
"Yes. but why uo yen Infer that?"
"The furniture Is changed. hut some
of the pictures that were hung on the
walls hang thee now. That”—point­
ing to a portrait—"is my father."
The picture referred to represented
a man of sixty.
"Indeed!'' said the lady, beginning
to quake inwardly at being alone with ■
I
this singular person.
"Yes: when 1 went abroad I bade
him goodliy in this very room
We
little thought that we should never

meet again."
These last words were intended to
be spoken In n sad tone. They sound
ed like a street organ playing "Annie
I.anrie." the pipes refusing to resjiond
nt the wmds "I'd lay me iloon and
dee." giving instead a series of croaks.
Miss Van Vnlkltibtirgli was glued to
