Holladay
T STEVENSON ?
! "III!" repeated" Jenkinson, In evident
surprise. "But is she 111?"
"She's your patient, isn't she? I
: thought you were the family doctor."
"So . I am," assented the other. "But
i-1 haven't seen Miss Holladay for ten
I days or two weeks. At that time she
: seemed quite well a little nervous,
I perhaps, and worried, but certainly
; not requiring medical attention. She
1 has always been unusually robust"
Mr. Royee stopped, perplexed. As for
me, my head was in a whirl again.
"I'll tell you the story," he said at
last "I should like the benefit of your
advice." And he recounted rapidly the
facts of Miss Holladay's illness. In so
, far as he knew them, ending with an
'account of our recent visit and " the
statement of the maid that her mis
tress was under a doctor's care. Jen
kinson heard him to the end -without
Interrupting, but he was plainly puz
Eled and annoyed. .
"And you say she looked very 111?"
he asked.
"Oh, very 111, sir; alarmingly ill, to
my unpracticed eyes. She seemed thin
and worn. She could scarcely talk,
she had such a cough. I hardly knew
her."
Again the doctor paused to consider.
He was a very famous doctor, with
i many very famous patients, and ' I
could see that this case piqued him
' that another physician should have
beea prcf errec! !
"Of course, Mr. Royce," he said final
ly, "Miss Holladay was perfectly free
to choose another physician if she
thought best"
"But would you have thought it prob
able?" queried our Junior.
"Ten minutes ago I should have
thought It extremely Improbable," an
swered the doctor emphatically. "Still,
women are sometimes erratic, as we
doctors know to our sorrow."
Mr. Royce hesitated and then took
the bull by the horns.
"Dr. Jeukinson," he' began earnest
ly, "don't you think it would be wise
to see Miss Holladay you know how
her father trusted you and relied on
you and assure yourself that she's In
good hands? I confess I don't know
what to think, but I fear some danger
Is hanging over her. Perhaps she may
even have fallen into the hands of the
faith curists."
Jenkinson smiled.
"The advice to seek rest and quiet
seems sane enough," he 6aid, "and ut
terly unlike any that a faith curist
would give."
"But still, If you could see for your
self," persisted Mr. Royce.
The doctor hesitated, drumming with
his fingers upon the arm of his chair.
"Such a course would be somewhat
unprofessional," he said at last "Still
I might call in a merely social way.
. My Interest in the family would, I
think, excuse me."
Mr. Royce's face brightened, and he
caught the doctor's hand.
"Thank you, sir," he said warmly.
"It will lift a great anxiety from the
firm, and, I may add, from me person
ally." The doctor laughed good naturedly.
I knew that, of course," he said.
"We Sectors hear all the xossiDKoi&z.

We instantly assented, , and he called
ills carriage and was driven away. I
felt that at last we were to see behind
one corner of the curtain perh aps one
glimpse would be enough to penetrate
the- mystery. But in half an hour he
was back again, and a glance at his
face told me that we were again des
tined to disappointed. -
"I sent up my card," he reported
briefly, "and Miss Holladay sent down
word that she must beg to be excused."
Mr. Royce's face felL
"And that was all?" he asked. -
'Tbat was alL Of course there was
nothing for me to do but come away.
I couldn't insist on seeing her."
"No," assented the other; "no. How
do you explain it doctor?"
Jenkinson sat down and for a mo
ment studied the pattern of the car
pet "Frankly, Mr. Royce," he said at last,
"I don't know how to explain it The
most probable explanation is that Miss
Holladay is suffering from some form
of dementia, perhaps only acute pri
mary dementia, which is usually mere
ly temporary, but which may easily
grow serious and even become perma
nent" The theory had occurred to me, and
I saw from the expression of Mr.
Royce's face that he also had thought
of it
"Is there no way that we can make
sure?" he asked. "She may need to be
saved from herself."
"She may need It very badly," agreed
the doctor, nodding. "Yet she is of
legal age and absolute mistress of her
actions. There are no relatives to in
terfere, no intimate friends even that
I know of. I see no way unless you,
as her legal adviser, apply to the. au
thorities for an inquest of lunacy."
But Mr. Royce made an Instant ges
ture of repugnance.
"Oh, that's absurd!" he cried. "We
have no possible reason to take such
action. It would offend her mortally."
"No doubt," assented the other. "So
I fear that at present nothing can be
done. Things will just have to take
their course till something more de
cided happens."
"There's no tendency to mental dis
ease in the family?" inquired Mr.
Royce after a moment
"Not the slightest" said the doctor
emphatically. "Her father and mother
were both sound and well balanced. I
know the history of the family through
three generations, and there's no hint
of any taint Twenty-five years ago
Holladay, who was then just working
to the top in Wall street drove himself
too hard it was when the market went
all to pieces over that Central Pacific
deal and had a touch of apoplexy. It
was just a touch, but I made him take
a long vacation, which he spent abroad
with his wife. It was then, by the
way, that his daughter was born. Since
then he has been careful, and has never
been bothered with a recurrence of the
trouble in fact, that's the only illness
in the least serious I ever knew him
ie nave.-.
There was nothing more to be said,
and-we turned to go.
"If there are any further develop
ments," added the doctor as be opened
the door, "will you" let me know? You
may count upon me if I can be of any
assistance.'- .
"Certainly," answered our junior.'
"You're very kind, sir," and we went
back to pur cab.
The week that followed was a per
plexing one for me and a miserable
one for Royce. As I know now, he had
written her half a dozen times and had
received not a single word of answer.
For myself, I had discovered one more
development of the mystery. On the
day following the delivery of the mon
ey I had glanced, as usual, through the
financial column of my paper as I rode
home on the car, and one item had at
tracted my attention. The brokerage
firm of Swift & Currer had that day
presented at the subtreasury the sum
of $100,000 in currency for conversion
Into gold. An Inquiry at their , office
next morning elicited the fact that the
exchange had been effected for the ac
count of Miss Frances Holladay. It
was done, of course, that the recipient
of the money might remain beyond
trace of the police.
. CHAPTER IX.
OUR regular work at, the office
just at that time happened to
. be unusually heavy and .itry-'
Ing. The Brown injunction
suit, while not greatly attracting pub
lic attention, Involved points -of such
nicety and affected Interests so wide
spread that the whole bar of New
York was watching it The Hurd sub-'
stitution case was more spectacular
and appealed to the press with peculiar
force, since one of the principal vicv
tims had been the eldest son of Pres
ton McLandberg, the veteran manag
ing editor of the Record, and the bring
ing of the suit Impugned the honor of
his family. But It is still too fresh in
the public mind to need recapitulation
here, even were It connected with this
story. The incessant strain told upon
both our partners and even upon me,
so that I returned to my rooms after
dinner one" evening determined to go
early to bed. But I had scarcely
donned my house coat settled in my
chair and got my pipe to going when
there came a tap at the door. . , .
"Come in," I called, thinking it was.
Mrs. Fitch, my, landlady, and too weary
to get up. , .
But it. was not Mrs! Fitch's 'pale
countenance, with', its crown of "'gray
hair, which appeared in, the. doorway;
It was a rotund and exceedingly florid
visage. . 4
"You will pardon me, sir," began a
resonant "voice, which I instantly re.
membered, even before the short,
square figure stepped over, the thresh
old Into the full light,'' "but r" have
just discovered that I have no na,$ch
with which -to ignite my gas. l&
might from you borrow one'.' ,
"Help yourself," I said, and held out
to him my case,, which . was-Jvingon
tte table at my elbow.
"You are very good,"-, he said,,jaoA
then, as be stepped forward and ,saw
me more distinctly, he uttered '.a ltjjle
exclamation of surprise. ... "Ah, it
Mistair"
"Lester," I added, seeing that he hesi
tated. ,,.- o'
"It Is a great pleasure," he was say
ing as he took the matches; a "great
good fortune which brought me to this
bouse. So lonely one grows at times
and then, I greatly desire some advice.-
If you would have the leisure"
"Certainly," and I waved toward a
chair.; .VSit down." J
"In one moment," he said. "You
will pardon me," and he disappeared
through the doorway.
He was back almost at once with a
handful of cigarettes, which he placed
on the table. Then he drew up a chair.
With a little deprecatory gesture he
used one of my matches to light a
cigarette.
"It was truly for the gas," he said,
catching my "smile, "and the gas for
the cigarette!"
There was something fascinating
about the man an air of good humor,
of comradeship, of strength of pur
pose. My eyes were caught by his
stodgy, nervous hands as he held the
match to his cigarette. Then they
"My name is Martigny Jasper Mar
tigny." wandered to his face, to the black
hair flecked here and there with gray,
to the bright deep set eyes, ambushed
under heavy brows; to the full lips,
which the carefully arranged mustache
did not at all conceal; to the projecting
chin, with Its little plume of an im
periala strong face and a not tin
handsome one, with a certain look of
mastery about it.
