! Y.

A day or two after had witnessed what |
must call CarristOn's second seizure we were
favored with a visit from the man whose SER
vices we had secured to trace Madeline.
Since he had received his instructions we
had heard nothing of his proceedings until he
now called to report progress in person. Car
ristOn had not expressed the slightest curiosi-
ty as to where the man was or what he was
about Probably he looked upon the employ
ment OF this private detective as nothing
more useful than salve TO my conscience.
That Madeline was only to be found through
the power which he professed to hold of see
ing her in his visions was, felt certain, be
coming rooted belief of his. Whenever |
expressed my surprise that our agent had
brought or sent no information, CarTiston
shrugged his shoulders, and assured me that
from the first he knew the mans researches
would be fruitless. However, the fellow had
called at last and, hoped, had brought us
good news.
He was glib-tongued man, who spoke in
a confident, matter-of-fact way. When he
saw us he rubbed his hands as one who had
brought affairs to successful issue, and now
meant to reap praise and other rewards. His
whole bearing told me he had made an I'M
portant discovery; so begged him to be seat
ed, and give us his news.
GARRISON gave him a careless glance, and
stood at some little distance from us. He
looked as If he thought the impending COM
ening to. He might, indeed, from his looks,
have been the most disinterested person of
the three. He even left me to do the ques-
tioning.
Now, then, Mr.. Sharpe said, .'let us
hear if you have earned your money"
II think so, SIR replied Sharpe, looking
curiously at CaTristOn who, strange to say,
heard this answer with supreme Indifference.
II think may say have, sir" continued
the detective-"that Is, II the gentleman can
identify these articles as being the young
lady's property"
T'hereupon he produced from thick letter
case ribbon in which was stuck a silver pin,
mounted with Scotch pebbles, an ornament
that 1 remembered having seen Madeline
wear. Mr.. Sharpe handed them TO CaTistOn.
He examined them, and saw his cheeks
flush and his eyes grow bright.
"HOw did you come by this?' he cried,
pointing to the silver ornament.
"Pll tell you presently, sir. Do you recog-
nize itr'

Then we are on the right track" cried,
1oyfully. Go on, Mr.. Sharpe"
Yes, gentlemen, we are certainly on the
right track; but after all, it isn't my fault II
the track don't lead exactly where you wish.
You see, when heard of this mysterious dis
appearance of this lady, began to cOncOct
my own theory. ! said to myself, when
"COnfound your theories y cried Carriston,
fieTcely, Go on with your tale.'

must confess, in spite of my affection for
CarristOn, felt inclined to rebel against the
course which matters were taking. | was a
pTosaic matter-Of-fact medical man; doing my
work to the best of my ability, and anxious
when that work was done that my hours of
leisure should be as free from worry and care
as possible. With CarTistOE's advent several
disturbing elements entered into my quiet
life.
Let Ralph CarristOn be guilty or innocent
of the extraordinary crime which his cousin
laid at his door, | felt that he was anxious to
obtain possession of the supposed lunatic's
person. 1t would suit his purposes for his
cousin to be proved mad. did not believe
that even II the capture was legally effected
Carriston's liberation would be a matter of
great difficulty so long as he remained in his
present state of mind; so long as |, a doctor
of some standing, could go into the witness
box and swear to his sanity. But my old
dread was always with me-the dread that
any further shock would Overturn the bal
ance of his sensitive mind.
So 1t was that every hour that CarristOn
was out of my sight was fraught with anxiety.
II Ralph Carliston was really as unscrupil-
lOus as my friend supposed; If he had really,
as seemed almost probable, subOrned our
agent; he might by some crafty trick obtain
the needful certificate, and some day should
come home and find CaTistOn had been re-
moved. In such case fOresaw great troub-
lie and distress.
Besides, after all that had occurred, il was
as much as could do to believe that CARTS
ton was not mad Any doctor who knew
what knew would have given the verdict
against him.
After dsmsSing his visions and hallucina-
tons with the contempt which they deserved,
the fact OF man who was madly, passion
ately In love with a woman, and who believ-
ed that she had been entrapped and was still
kept in restraint sitting down quietly, and
letting day after day pass without making an
effort toward finding her, was in itself prtrna
fdcie evidence Of insanity. A sane man
would at once have set all the engines of de-
lection at work.
| felt that II once Ralph Carriston obtain
ed possession of him he could make out a
strong case In his own favor. First of all the

of its superior ventilation tho food placed

take into consideration the temptations that

overworked night toilers, these beginners in
journalism as a rule have TO pass through a
bitter apprenticeship Boys of all work, the
strain put on them IS tremendous Little rec
ognition is vouchsafed them from without,
however excellent their labor. When faulty,
blame is not stinted. Their range reaches
from the palace to the slums, and from bel,
to heaven; they are everywhere looked upor
with suspicion, -
Is it strange, then, with So many obstacles
in their way, that they sometimes make mis-
takesl II ID wonderful that they commit SO few

condemnation that is heaped upon them, re
