OF COMMANDING figure and soldierly bearing, with deep set gray eyes, hollow, cadav erous cheeks, and mustuehe and hair an Intense blue black, his sin gular personality alone had anywhere and at all times attracted special at tention to the man; but coupled with this distinguished personality, and sin gling him out as remarkable in the highest degree, was the fact that he' lived in duplicate. Thus if on Monday he arose eurly, breakfasted on coffee, toast, and eggs, afterwards retired to his rooms to oc cupy himself until noon at his desk ; then, after partaking of lunch, quit his rooms to ramble about the city, giv ing alms to the old blind organ woman, going up and down particular streets and through particular quarters, thence back to his hotel, to his dinner, to his desk after dinner, and finally to bed on Tuesday he would go through precisely the same regime; arising early, breakfasting on coffee, toast, and eggs; afterwards retiring to his desk, thence to lunch, to bis rambles up and down those particular streets and through those particular quarters that he had visited on Monday, giving alms to the old blind organ woman ; thence back to his hotel, to dinner, to his desk and papers ; finally to bed. On Wednesday he perhaps would spend the day quite differently, arising late, going out on horsebuck for the entire day, attending the theater at night, and to bed at midnight or later; but howsoever he spent Wednesday, Thursday or the day following was sure to be a repetition down to the smallest detail. Friday would see commenced a new series of action for Saturday to duplicate. That this man should deliberately go about living as if his soul were a stereoscope, and life, to be appreciat ed, must be like Use stereoscopic pic ture, double, was generally considered an astonishing thing ; and, besides, it seemed such a reprehensible waste of energy, time and money. to rail from his horse upon a Wednesday at a particular crossing, bruising his body und spraining his wrist was bad enough ; but to repeat the accident at that particular crossing upon the following duy was a pure waste of energy. To lose a half-hour on Friday by coming down to the de pot too early was perhaps an error of calculation ; but to repeut the action on the following Saturday was a waste of time. To visit his tailor on Monday and order a new suit of clothing was nothing reprehensible ; but to drop In on the following day at precisely the same minute and order a similar suit of clothing could be nothing less than a waste of money. It was this trait of duplicating all his expenditures thut had first at traded attention to the man's slngu lar character. And, Indeed, one who coolly and voluntarily paid all his bills twice over was certain, sooner or later to have minute notice taken of him self and his comings and goings. It may have been that the man's mind was divided, one half acting nor mally and consistently, whilst the oth er half drove him each alternate day to Imitate his conduct of the preceding day, as a little Impish boy Imitates the actions of one going before him In the street. Or perhaps he was merely eccentric. But there seemed something more than eccentricity In his conduct when, upon a certain Sat urday, he deliberately returned and al lowed n vicious dog to bite him In the manner that it had bit him some twenty-four hours before. Such conduct could arise from . nothing less than methodical madness. Living his own life In his own re served way, cultured and studious, troubling no one, offending none; doubly liberal In his expenditures and never pressed for means, steadfast In his chosen eccentricity If such It werc and in his face and manner no questioning doubt of himself, perhaps In time Henry Hobart had been ac cepted like any other man, the curl ous had ceased to be curious, and his mvsterlous character, without any fur ther or deeper scrutiny, had become one of the mysteries of human life, had not the man been suddenly struck down as by an Invisible hand and the appalling mystery of his death height ened tenfold the mystery of his life. On a Tuesday morning, at fifteen minutes of ten o'clock, nn attendant was summoned by the call-bell to room 63 of the Sumner house, and upon obeying the call found Henry Hobart struggling In the throes of a strange and unnatural death. The Man Who I ld Things Twice half-dressed, standing In the center of bis outer room, was battling with the I invisible air about him for breath, or as the attendant put It later, "Like he I was flahtln' with something that i weren't there." " The hotel was aroused, Doctor Thlel i was hastily summoned from his f I fice on the next floor, and everything I was done that science coald suggest or despair persuade, yet In less than ' ten minutes Henry Hobart lay dead on the floor, within his stilled brain i hidden tbe profound mystery of his life, and still echoing In the death I room Hi one strangled cry ere death sealed his blue I if Tomorrow! It was a strange case, a question able esse, a frightful case, but beyond all it proved a baffling case, for the police came, removed the body to the morgue, intimating death by poison or other foul play, and examined the rooms and overhauled the possessions of the dead man, but who the de ceased was, who his kindred or what his former residence, or the cause of his death, they could not discover. The scholarly tomes that filled his shelves bore no signatures or book marks, and private papers of any kind there were none. The autopsy made the same day afternoon upon the body of the deceased failed to discover any poison, and Doctor Thlel's belief that the man had been strangled seemed without support, as no foreign substance or growth of any kind was found in the windpipe or air passages. Nevertheless, Doctor Thlel wus firm and blunt : "The man was strangled," he maintained. "Make the best of that, gentlemen, and then go to your dinners." Uue thing only seemed certain, one thing only was undisputed The Man Who Did Things Twice, with severed windpipe and autopsy-marred body would not duplicate his own death upon the morrow. He had come to his death on a Tuesday, a Tuesday with which had he lived he would have begun a new course of action to be duplicated on Wednesday. But he had died, and now for once The Man Who Did Things Twice would fall In his eccentricity. Perhaps for that his Spirit would be troubled. Next morning, while the nttendunt who had been first on the death sceno of the previous day was holding forth at length on the tragedy with certain servant cronies, the call-bell suddenly rung and the hand of the call dial spun around and pointed to No. 63. The man hastened to obey the sum mons, not noticing that the hands of the hall clock pointed to fifteen min utes of ten, nor delaying to recollect what guest occupied room 63. The tragedy of the preceding day hud been tbe event of his life, and he had not as yet descended to the trllles of his daily routine. As lie tapped briskly at the door of room 63 and put his hand upon the knob to enter, It suddenly came over him that he had done precisely such a tldng before. That at about thut time of some other morning he had been summoned by the cull-bell to room 63 had knocked, turned the knob, entered and a loud cry, a shout thick with horror, broke from the man's lips, and he reeled back into the hallway. There before him, In the center of the fateful room, hulf-dressed, battling with the invisible air, with blue lips and protruding eyes, stood The Mu.i Who Did Things Twice. The ominous, ghostly hush that fol lowed the frightened attendant's cry was quickly broken by the hurry of many feet, and soon again the hotel was aroused and again Doctor Thlel bent over the prostrate and dying Hen ry Hobart. Outside and distantly could be heard the clang of the fire bells, but in the room of death all was sudden silence, all were hushed by the frightful, ghost ly thought that the scene before them had been enacted before the dying man with his discolored face and struggling hands, the physician bend ing over him, the alarmed, pitying faces of the gathered guests, and the frightened servants huddled in the background. And the man must die die as he had died ! They looked on, and waited. Then the end came, and Doctor Thlel, aris ing, said, "He Is dead!" He had ut tered those words once before and un der like conditions. And the guests and the servants spoke together In hor rified whispers, as they hud done be fore; then the assembly broke up and the hallway was cleared,, as before! There wag something Immeasurably painful about It all, to live a thing over lnthnt frightful way, to be, as it were, mere puppets at a show, and one day to be to another day as a re flection In a mirror. For a time those who had witnessed both tragedies seemed to llveTn a kind of trance, and moved about' and whis pered together like being In a dream ; but finally the natural reasserted it self, and then curiosity seized them. What was the meaning of It? Hen ry Hobart had died and his body had been mutilated by the surgeon's knife. How, then, had be died a second time and his body shown no marks of the knife? Had they been deceived by a ghost? No: there In room 03 lay the dead man flesh and blood and seven blocks away, resting on a marble slab, with the water dripping continually on It, lay the other body of Henry Hobart The Man Who Did Things Twice. A sudden doubt came Into the mind of Doctor Thlel, a misgiving that frightened him. Wag that other body that autopsy-marred body still rest ing quietly on Its slab ut the morgue? Or Hastily quitting the hotel, he bur rled towards the morgue, und sudden ly 'Time up agulnst an Insurmountable blank wall of mystery. The morgue was a heap of charred ruin and smol dering, steaming ashes, amd If the autopsy-marred body of Henry Hobart had been lying on Its slab during the perhtd of the fire, then It hud been totally consumed, und that other body up at the hotel was that of a second Henry Hobart ; but, If the autopsy marred body of Henry Hobart had not been lying quietly on Its slab during the raging of the fire, then, In God's name, who and what wan he who hud died up at the Sumner house that morning? THE TEACHER By DOUGLAS M ALLOC H PHRTI Alin OFFERS A MARKET 1 V-rlX 1 lttWWJ FOR YOUR PRODUCE COK half a century, and more, The feet of boys forever wore A pathway to the teacher's door.

And so the teacher grew to gray ; Yea, fifty years have pussed uway When someone happens on a day To pause before the teacher's door.

A simple answer he employs To tell a teacher's holy Joys: "I don't teach Latin 1 leucu boys." God bless the teacher who can look Above, beyond, the open book. The one who teaching undertook. Not merely for the Latin's sake But for the holy chance to make Tomorrow's man, a soul to wake; Whom nothing wearies, naught an noys, But gladly all his life employs, Not teaching Latin teaching boys.
