Then ho glunod tlown upon his com ianloii, and behold upon her coun tenance an expression which atonco ex plained tho situation. Sho looked as no woman over ilo except when aim's lithor sou alek or In lovo. A honeymoon Smilo Of tho .iiotit aggravated typo transformed her rathor comely fai'o Into tho familiar mask of Imbecility; and not even tho blank stare with which lie cr met her upturned eyes, moved her U modify a single dottill of her ridiculous griiuncu. "Sho must bo crazy, too," ho thought, with a fdioddcr; unconsciously mold ing tho phrase of his Idea to lit tho pop ular judgment regarding his own mental condition 'Toor girls her ills apiHiintuiont has turned her brain." .She steered him Into a Hide street; and Jiibt an ho was trying to think of a dcllcato way in which ho could urgo her to discontinue looking t him In that diwiuletlng fashion, iihe paused before a gate and haid: "This Is tho minister's house, the I'ov .Mr. Know-Ion, tho man who married us, you know." There was a painful ambiguity about her wordn which perplexed Drane to uuch an extent that a servant had uli oied them handily Into tho good pastor's study boforo ho rocovurod his hoH-ms-session. A vonerahlo gentleman rose from a largo ohalr, and grooUsl them with cour tesy. "You remember mo, don't jnuV" said tho girl, taforo Drann could upon his mouth. "I'm Nellie Make, or I was be foro you marrlod mo to Mr. Drano, last Tuesday." .She almporoil In n most distressing way mid looked up at Drano. -I In fell hi hair stirring at tho roots, for ho tiavv now that lunacy was tho only explana tion of tho girl's conduct. "I ought to explain" ho began. I!ut the minister stoppod lilm with a wae of the hand. "No explanation Is rof"Irod, Mr. Drano," said ho. "I remember you per- feolly, and 1 do trust that nothing has " happened In this short apace to mar lh happiness which 1 sincerely wished you when I made you one." "Hut my dear sir " erhsl Drano, In horror. .Nellie Interrupted hint w lib a glKIf'1'- "S'ou se, sir, It Isn't really much of any thing," nho nld, "and perhaps wo ought nut tohavo ltothoriHl you nUmt It; but tho truth Is 1'vo lost tho uortltlcato you gao mo.

I am not the man who married thin young woman, and I hare never had the ploasuroot ooelug either her or yourself Ixjforn to-dty." "Do you mean to say that she diK-sn't know her own husband?" risked the reverend gentleman, with groat sur prise. "This Is prco"ttorius." "She know -I perfectly well that I am not her husliaud," said Drane. "Tor some purxxio of her own she has lured mo here, and has claimed me before you, and you havo protended to reeog li I zo the. Hut for tho honesty that 1 read In your face, sir, I should U' tempted to iy that this was all a great oonsplrncy to entrap mo." "Young man," nald Itev. Mr. ICnowlcs. with tleop severity, "I never forgot a face. I knew you by your necktie!" It wa. the one article of consplcc.oim apparel which he had retained since the llrst exchange with the tramp In the Turkish bath, lie cursed It In Ills soul. "lint look at me more closely; look Into my face!" he exclaimed. Kov. Mi". Knowlett pulled a pair of spectacles down from Ills forehead ami approached Drano with a grim de termination to mukn sure of lilm writ ten nil over his usually benign conn-t.-nnm-e. Drano lifted up bis head and looked :.lralght at tho glittering gold tiiiei of the glasses. Ho felt certain that he should not fall of an acquittal If once lie wai properly luaM-otod. Hut Kov. Mr. Kuowles made an error which is alarmingly common in cases where porsunul identity Is at Issue, lie l!:;cd hit giuo rigidly on the one thing which had previously misled hlni the necktie-and to till Intents and pur poses hU scrutiny went no further. And tib, hoi.' he did Identify that necktie. How ho reached In and pulled Its secret out! Ilowdoudcortaln, how Immovably, uiiutieraljly in-line lie n.is, wnen lie ruisctl Ills eyes from it nud pushed up his glasscu again, that that was tho ver itable neck lie with which he had for ever united the fato of Miss Nellie Hlake. Then ho glanced at Drsno's face with hill unassisted eyes; saw simply a iihyslijgnouiy with tho cui ternary number of features on It, nnd was etinv lucod. "I was not mistaken," Miiil ho, "and I am at a loss to understand your con duct." It takes a renlly good man to bo fixed In error: hut doubt Is tho eternal ir thii of the uiirngoiierato. Tho Kov. Mr. Kuowles was more certain thyt he had married Drane, than Drano was that lie hadn't. "Why," continued Mr. ICnowlen, "If It was your intention to cast this woman ol! did you bring her hero where Jiur Iniquity was almost certain to trans pire?" "I didn't bring her hcro,"ild Drane, dei.pondlligly, "she brought i.ie." "Si I KUpMisod; wi I siipHisl, yeung man," and tho Kov. Mr. Know ita frovs ne.1 In groat disnpprolutlou. "but now that ) on are hero let me exhort you to do your whole duty. What reason you havo for denying your wife I do not know. Have you any thing to say against her aha rnelor?" "Heaven forbid," said Drano, hastily. "That Is a kuhjcctuli which I never say any thing." "You have the Instincts of a gentle man," the old clergyman s.ilil, sluwly. ."1 noticed Hut when you vvuru huru bo- or if CI.AIlitl). fore; especially then, I may add, for your behavior to-day has left much to bo desired." "Ufcin greatly Indebted to tho alom I li able tramji who personated mo on that occasion," exclalmisl Drane, with bitter emphasis, "and I regret that his repu tation should sillier during ni) tmno rary use of my own name." "('time, come," said thu genial pastor, cheerfully; "lot's havo no moro hard words. Come, Nellie, glvo your hand to your husband mice more In my prcsnuoo, and start anew on what I trust will bo a happy Hfo together." Nellie roo with groat alacrity and ad vanced to Drane, who stood In Millox dismay, wondering what tho woman's ob ject was and how far fclio would allow tho ridiculous gamo to proceed. Meanwhile Kcv. Mr. Knovvlo had Mm M shifted hl-iMioctaclos from hi 1 forehead to Iho end of hit. noso, and Iji Vamod ooro licnlguly over litem t.T.l under thont If posslhlo, I am an old man," said he, "and you must pnrtlon my Interference In tho atfalrs of tho young. lam not t clear as to what has brought you Ij tart i r i. iMH-sind time; hut let us say II li Provi dence -"and ho glanced reverently up ward, the one direction In which the good man's sight had never fulled bli-i. "Imittvat you, mv son, lie a man," ho continued, "and leave this strange and evil couno for tho bolter way." Drano was lorn hy many conflicting cr.iotloii'i. The old clergyman'-! manner v. i. so kind that Drane could have ktsM-d his venerable In ml, and his error v, a o annoying that Drano hiiijTi-d Inbreak his venerable uts'k. "Xy dear - " he was going to say "t ly dear sir." but Mr. Knowles lot him get no further than tho adjective. Ho i. proud his hands over the s.lr.

Drane saw her out of the uortu n of his eyes, and ho tried hastily to shako Nellie's urtiis from around his neck, hut thoy were claspisl hard and fast, and nothing could loosen them l!e I e gave a little sigh which was a. m(wt a stih, and sank iip.iu the mi( t Thoro were llrst-rate priwMx-ts of a gen uine faint now, ami Draue'-j agony was iroHirt Innately lnrroasxl. At tho sound of her late mlstrosV sub, Nellie turned her head, and v.h. n she ww who had entered her dtsmuv was so plainly written on her face thr.1 even tho falnl-slhted old jmslnr saw It. lie mh.lnterproted It, of course, and cist a look of disapproval upon Hemic. "Young woman," said he, "are )oi the unhappy c.iuso of dtlfercuce liotwofn these tivo?" Hut Hessle mld little titteiitlou to bli wonl .. She ros unsteadily from the sofa, throw up her head with a pitiful llttlu attempt ut dignity and snld: "Mr. Drunc, 1 eamo to this city be cause I believed that vou were HI and In trouble, and I hojMsl to help you us yoe nmehelpiHl inc.

Ilut this rebuke fell iinlineded, for Drane's imcxpectisl dts'laratlou had proven Uhj much for Jlessle's nerves al ready deeply shaken, and she had falli u Into a falntuess, as deep, tc all appear ances, as death Itself. Drane sprang forward to her side, and Kov. Mr. Knowlus puttered along after hlni. Nellie, too, was moved by tho sight of her former mistress' pullld face, and sho bid fair to he of moro real uso than either of tho men. Hut thoy were alt in earliest, sod so Intent ii)siu their task that they did not see tho door open, nor did they know that any nun had entered till a hnrsh voice said: "Lawrence Drane. ye bloomlu' lunatic, I've got to take yer In!" Drano turned to confront Jimmy and th two iHilIucuien. tii.MTi:i: xi. VIUTVH or NECKS! II Y. At this point In Mr. Drane's adveu tureii he ought to havo met tho tuner I'ency with calmness and a ready wit.

Thinking of tl.at ss of one sin which had Won for-slvt-n, I.-vwrenco lsiw-txl his head and ac- t-iui)anlisl tho pollnnmon out of doors. An officer u at either ellsiw and Jim- j ley pranced along IxMilnd. as Air. Drano was very quiet no especial at tention wa-t attracted until thoy came to the distrof tho Heaver House. There a man was slowly drvu-ondtng tho step, hxiktng vastly worrltsl and out of sorts. It was the tramp. Ho hail Mr Drane'ii i lotln s im and ho appeantl to 1st In hard luck. When ho saw tho officer snd their convoy sailing down the stn-el he stoppsl suddenly ami liH-kod hanl at the prisoner with a wildly angeretl exprtMSlon on his face. Il wa hut a moment tint the tramp stood (bus. but In that momrnt his reasoning faculties wont through a tremendous operation. This was about tho sub stance of It: "Hello! there's Lawrence Drane! I stole bin clothes and Ills name and mar rhd In Isith of them an awfully rich widow. Ho got hack at mo by stealing hi i clothes again and getting mo In ht-k. lie even Inveigled me Into an Insane ssyluui. He Is even now sus pected of Is'li.g a lunatic.

Ho Is tre mendously rich and gotxl-naturod. I nie if I don't do him a good turn." This chain of reasoning was so speedi ly accomplished that by tho lime Law rem t uml the policemen were opposite the Heaver House diHtr, Iho tramp had resolved upon Ms course of actlun. He ran down the steps cll-mcll. soiled Law rence by the hand and exclaimed: "Well, well: to see j on again and In thlu shape! I'm delighted ami everlast ingly rullnvod!" "tih! jou are. are you?" respond) d Ivwrence, as tho policemen paused. "I sou that you aro at the upper end of the teeter-lsiard at present " Ho muihl have said more In expres sion of lil.i bitterness, but tho tramp Interrupted: "Olllcers. I don't think you have any right to hold thlil man, 1 know him. He Is my only brother. 111.1 name Is Lawrence Drano. of Kansas t'lty, and I am tils brother John, come on to take cam of him. I demand that you show mo your authority for arresting him be fore you tnko him any further." ThN. of ooiirse, was a stumper for the policemen. They bad uoauthorliy what ever. . "Ilut." said one of them, "how about that reward?" At this moment a button U Mr. Drane's ltowory suit gave way. Jimmy, of course, had etplaiml the prospective reward to tho isilli'i'iueu and had held out Its terms as induce- Tin: aj.i Kiii.n Jons men tn for their notion. Neither Mr Drano nor tho tramp knew exactly what to do. "Well, Hie fact Is." began Mr Drane. "You understand." said the tramp at the same moment, "Mr. Drano I.i not u craiy inun; ho Is my friend ami rela tive." "Hut," Interrupted again one of the policemen, "thai reward? We don't pro pose to stay out all night looking for this gent and tho reward w Ithout some return." And hero Mr. Drane's right knee be gan to pel' p .?) is trousers. His economical suit w.vi coming rapidly ami naturally to pieces. "Does It look very bad?" ho whUiorrd to the tramp, ns lie felt a seam in tin back burst. "It looks like bloody murder," i aid the tramp, In an undertone; "and speaking of that, how do you think those Kansas I lly mndo pantaloons of your lit iiki?" Toll 'em you'll plvo em a check at the Heaver House at threo o'clock this afternoon," whispered I-iwrence.
