Al Brisa did not appear particu larry
interested in these domestic reminis.

to be left alone, Mrs. Sampson, with

himself; every chslcs remark seems to
bar on the murder, and I'm not going to

He suddenly recollected the letter which
be held in his hand, and which he row
looked ct for the first time. It proved to
ne from Msdge, and tearing 1t hastily
open, he read it.

Ia spite of his determination to see CAL
ton and tell all, Fitzgerald did not 90 near
him that day. He felt ill and weary, the
want Of sleep and mental worry, telling
on him fsarfully, and be looked ten years
older ,hau he did bsfore the murder of

the smooth forehead and furross round the
mouth. If man has any mental worry,
his life bscsmss q positive agony to him,
Meatal tarrors are quito As bad as physical
ones, if not worse. The Last thing b.fore
dropping off to sleep is the thought Of
trouble, and with the faint light of dawn,
it returns and hammers all day at the
weary brain. But while man can sleep,
life is rendered at least eBdursble, and

has bestowed, there is mono so precious as

"Well, you are nice fellow" cried
Calton, after greetings were over. "Here

"Will You have some breakfast ?" asked
Brian, laughing at his indignation.
What have you gotp' said Cation,
looking over the table. Ham and eggs.

Fitzgerald, resuming his breakfast. "Un-
