r li.l' V Jimmy looked discouraged, and Drano foolishly supposed that ho had Bottled the business and rid himself of the an noyance. Ho even felt somo wholly un necessary compunctions of conscleneo at havinjr been so rudo to tho younff man. However, ho aaid nothing tooro, but walked rapidly away. Tho reporter, of oourse, followed him and did not loso iht of him until ho turned Into tho IScavir House Then Jimmy ran to tho nearest telegraph oCleo and sent thla dispatch to a Xew York newspaper: "1,000 word inter view wltU Lawrence jPrane, escaped maniac.

Mcaatino tho victim cf tbU pursuit bad scanned the rerrlstcr of tho licavor Uouso on tho datC3 just subsequent to the theft of hia clothes and belonrrin.73. At a Uno that corresponded exactly with tho tramp's story bo r.-s horrified to And this entry: "Mr. and Sirs. L. Drane, Kansas Citv." Uo learned that "Mrs, Drane" was in and sent up t hor a card with his own name scrawled upon it. Ia due timo ho was nshorcd to tho door of tho best room ia tho house. Ho knocked and entered at onco, A richly-dressed young woman ran quickly across tho room crying: ,v Where havo you been? and why" Jjho stopped, ffavo a faint scream and &' into a chair, staring at Lawrenco ia boaildcrmcnt. On bis part ho felt an immenso relief to Cnd that tbo young woman was not Bessie and boro .-."aof-,lilrintio to her excent in croneral igurp.. .'VfrjUra." ho said, "vou v.-ill pardon this intrusion when I tell you that I am t i , I.'n .i . l- Pittr 1 think we havo both boon imposed upon and between us wp may b-s ablo to set oatterj right. ' don't understand you," repliod ."Mrs. Drano," "but vou can sit down." IJr. Drano complied and after a pa-jso beqan: "A'ou seem to bear my name, madam, but I am quito certain that yo'-i hav3 no right ta it. You see. a fellow stolo my clothes and money Komo days ago and proceeded to masquerade around tbo pountry tinder iny name, bringing mo into ail kinds of trouble. I know ho ,-amo to New Haven, for ho collected money hero in my name." Mr." Drano hesitated. "Mrs. Drane" was dreadfully pale and ho disliked be yond measure to explain to her that her marriage was invalid and that even wero it genuino sho bad been tricked by a penniless adventurer and crimin al. ' "I didn't have nothing to do with it;' remarked the young woman, faintly. This languago struck Iawrcnco as strange, coming from a wealthy woman, juit her ignoranco only made her situa tion the more pitiable. "I have no question," be hastened to pay, "that you havo acted with tho nfnirmt Innocence in tho matter, and it is exceedingly painful for mo to tell you that your husband's name is not Drane. and that he is not tho wealthy man he represented himself to bo." "Mrs. Drano" was greatly agitated, and in order npji further to embarrass, her Lawrenco rose and walked across tbo room to a window. A big steamer trunk bad been placed there. It was plastered all over with customs slips of various countries, and conspicuous among them was a tag such as i3 used by passengers -who wish to havo their baggago availablo during a voyage. It read:'- WANTED. Mi:s. lii:ssic II.uilasd, . ' - lJt FFAI.O, N. V., Amkihca. First Caws, No. i:J7. Tbero -were more words than these, but tho namo and aidress of the owner -eq pnough ta ttartlo him and throw a great light on the situation. This "Mrs. Brane" mut bo tho servant who had run away with hi3 Bessio's property! Whni a comoliuatiom Sho believed tho rascally tramp to bo rich; bo be lieved her to bo tho possessor of tbirr teen millions; they had married. What an awakening for each! This discovery, however, had to be erifled, and the dishonest young woman who hail brought Ilcssie Ilarland so much trouble must lo punished for it. Lawrence felt that ho must move with exceeding caution. Ho turned, hardly certain as to what courso ho should take, when the young woman, blushing fitful ly and With quivering voice, said: "My husband's name ain't Drano at all, at least ho said it wasn't I was truly married to him right in tljis town, asd I can prove it If you know whero bo ia" "lie's locked up in New York," ex plained Lawrence as she paused. The young woman's eyes flashod, almost joy ously, Mr. Drane thought, and ho won dered at it Sho became suddenly Tery grrt and continued: . i t himA mil won't bo mean with mc If you will go with mo to the minister ihat marrjed us, I can prove what I say, ind p'r'apa he'il help us ." i ' f-il K fx wba food that will do," Hut I want you to know that I was roallv married," porsir.u-d t!io young woman.

When at last they started down-stairs, the yonnjc woman tbrast her hand into "HE DOi:3 LOOK LIKE A LU3ATIC." his arm and leaned heavily upon him, saying: "I am so upsot by this." Lawrence gal.:.Mtly undertook tho burden, and as t'acy. passed through tho office ho caw hij acquaintance, Jimmy, tho reporter, watching Mm narrowly. Two pclieomen v.-ero there, too, and as bo passed them ho heard ono of them cay: lie docs look iiko a confounded luna tic, for a fact" CHAPTER X. At all seasonable hours the streets of New Haven aro full of pretty girl3. They arc merry girls, too, who like to lauTh when there's any thing funny in sight. Drano, with tho bogus Mrs. Drano upon his arm, passed Bone thou sands cf t'ucm, or at least ho could havo sworn that ho did, and they all looked out of tho earners of their eyes, and grinned with tho comers of thoir mouths. It is harrowing to bo tbo object of this kind of attention. It suggests tho possibility of a practical joker's placard on one's back, or a black mark along side one's nose. Prnr,2 investigated tho subject as well as ho could by feeling stealthily cp aud down his back, and using hia handkerchief with great vigor. But for the life of biin ho couldn't Cnd any thing calculated to creato so much innocent amusement. "I aupposo I look funny without my m!i.j.i'ir." hn thoi'.rrhfc. "but banff me if I should expect people to notice it who never saw re w ore. Then he glanced down upon bis com panion, and beheld upon her coun tenance an expression which at once ex plained tho Liti.ation. fcbo looked as no woman ever docs except when she's, tithe r sea sick or in love. A honeymoon smile of the mo:;t aggravated typo transformed hor rather comely face into t'ao fa::i:li:.r lias!: of imbecility; and not even tho blank ttaro with which ho met her upturned eyes, moved her to r..odify a single detail of her ridiculous grimace. "Sho must be crazy, too," ho thought, with a shudder; inicon:;ciour,ly mold ing tho phrsio of his ilea to Ot tho pop ular judgnvnt regarding bis own mental condition. "Poor girl; her dis appointment has turned her brain." Hho Bteerel him into a side street; and just as ho was trying to think of a delicate way in which he could urge her to dL'jeontinuo looking at him in that disquieting fashion, sho paused before a gate and said: "Tliis is the minister's bouse, tbo r.cv Mr. Knowles, the inan who married us, you know." Thero was a painful ambiguity about her words which perplexed Drano to such an extent that a servant had ush ered them handily into the good pastor's study beforo ho recovered his self-pos- A venerable gentleman rose from a largo chair, apd greeted them with cour tesy. "You remember me, don't you?" said tho girl, beforo Drano could open bis mouth. "I'm Nellio Make, or I was be foro you married mc to Mr. Drane, last Tuesday." Khe simpered In a most distressing way and looked up at Drane. Uo felt his hair stirring at tho roots, for ho saw now that lunacy was tho only explana tion of the girl's conduct. "I ought to explain " he began. But the minister stopped him with wave of the hand. . "No explanation Is required, Mr. Drane," said ho. "I remember you per fectly, and I do trust that nothing has happened in this short space to mar the bappines3 which I sincerely wished you when I made you pnc." "Hut my dear sir" cried Dranc, in borror. Nollio interrupted him with a piggle. "You see, sir, it isn't really much of nir thinr"iihe Raid, "and DerhaDS we ought not to have bothered you about it; but tho truth is I've lost tho certificate tou ?ave me.
