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

COK half a century, and more,
The feet of boys forever wore
A pathway to the teacher's door.
Yet, fifty yearp- he took his stand,
A Latin grammar In his hand,
And taught the chlldien of the land.
A general, a great divine,
Yea, men whose names with luster
shine,
Learned Latin at that simple shrine.
For often here the great began
To dream, to wish, to hope, to plan;
Today is born tomorrow's man.
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.
The threshold that the children wore
A half a century or more,
And asks, us that good inun appears:
"Are you not weary, tired to tears,
Of teaching Latin utl the years?"
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.
