II was Tom who nae insisted that she
should come and Nurse his sister. 1t was
Tom who nad introduced her to Abe doctor
and told him that she could be trusted.
Why she was sele ted she quite understood
when she discovered the plot. The discovery
was due 10 III accident. After she had gone
to bed she remembered that she had left q
book downstairs in which her name, her real
name, was written Jane Wesley" The
serN ant might open it and see the NAME, and
IL would be known that she was in the house
under an alias. She partially dressed herself
and went downstairs, walking quietly 30 as
not 70 attract attention.
As she passed the dining-room door she
heard the voice Of her husband, She Won
dered why he should have come there so late
at night and without letting her know that he
WIS coming. She listened and found that the
conversation Was being carried ON by the
doctor, her husband and Miss Wesley.
They. said nothing which would have
aroused an outsiders suspicion, but they
said enough 10 reveal the fact that they were
calculating on tho death Of the woman she

den revelation of her husbands treachery
completely altered her mental condition.
She was at bay. Her pu Sc %throbDed, her
worn-out nerves acquired q sudden
strength when she was hus suddenly
brought face TO face with the danger which
threatened her.
She believed that the deadly work had
been going on for some time. II might have
gone too far already. She might even now
be past recovery. But she still hopel that
she might rave herself now that she had
found a friend and ally in the new nurse.
To this woman, as soon as she had recov-
cred from the shock OF the discovery, she
turned for advice.
She asked her point blank who she was,
and how she, a stranger. had discovered q
plot which involved such gbastly conse-
quences TO those who were concerned IN II.
The nurse, who seemed to have lost her
self possession, confessed everything 20 the
sick woman. She told her she was Tom
Wesley's wife. that he had married her some
two wears previously, when she was q nurse
in Charing Cross Hospital, and that for some

A week after the will had been made Tom
Wesley came to the doctor witt q magnificent
scheme. Ten thousand pounds was all that
was wanted TO float q concern which In a few
weeks would realize q hundred thousand
The Doctor was impressed at once-he saw
the chance exactly as Tom saw II, and again
he applied to his wife.
But Mrs. Markham was petulant, and this
demand put her in q temper. NO" she
said, you will have my money whom Pm
dead-you must wait till then"
From that night Mrs. MARKHAM grew worse
with greater rapidity than before. She felt
30 i'll that she pleaded with the doctor to call
in q physician. She had aiken to her bed by
this time, and the doctor promised that IL she
didn't improve she hould have further adj
vice.
AT this time also she began 10 conceive o
violent dislike TO her sister. She asked the
doctor TO send her away and to let her have a
proper nurse.
The doctor said he would do So, and went
ont. The sister did not leave. but the next
day q young woman from n Of the nursing

and she had q frightened look in the eyes
that idgeted the invalid.
Two nights after Nurse Wilson had taken
up her post at tine invalid's bedside, O very
strange thing occurred.
II was 1 O'Clock in the morning whom Mrs.
Markham woke up. The banging of the
front door woke her, She opened her eyes
and found that the nurse, who slept in a little
bed near her, was not in the room. But she
had seen her undress and get into bed two
hours previously.
Presently the door opened and the woman,
partly dressed, crept into the room. She had
evidently been crying, and appeared greatly
distressed.
She went straight to the little table in the
bedroom, picked mp the medicine bottle,
emptied II OF the medicine, which was white

An EVENING WOMB reporter, one morning,

The morning was cold and disagreeable.

from the filthy streets. made the reporter APP
preciate the heavy overcoat which he wore..,
Those who have never visited similar locale
NOT appreciate their gloominess.
AS the reporter walked along he observed q
little barefooted waif, shivtring witt the
cold. His head was devoid of covering, and
all that he had On his little body to help
keep 1t warm was o shirt and O pair of knee
breeches, and these were torn and ragged.
Aren't you cold. Johnny ?" asked the re-
porter.
Yes, you bet 1 am" answered the plucky
little urchin.
Where are your shoes?"
H'aint got none, sir"
Where do you live, and where is your
mother p"
Ion, I live up in the top Of that house

them showed that only q few OF them wore
shoes, while none of them was warmly clad.
In this district alone the reporter must
have seen a hundred boys, ranging in ages
from four to eight, who were barefooted,
cold, unhealthy-looking and with no idea
whether they would be able to keep from
freezing this winter or not.
If There Are No Bugs ON Central Park
Trees This Il Why.
Two men were standing under one Of the
leafess trees in Central Park. Against the
trees trunk was tilted a ladder. One of the
men was armed with a pole some fifteen feet
with long. thin strips of metal, so that it was
something like O scrubbing- brush.
The man who held the pole looked up
along the tree, and every now and then
stuck the %scrubbing- brush end of the pole
or two. Then he would transfer his atten-
| ton to another part of the trunk and 90
through the same operation.
What do you rub of the trees with that
thing ?" asked the reporter.
Bugs" said the man sententiously.
Why, I can't see Any bugs on the trees"
II can" said the man with an emphasis on
the I" /, "as il that was all that was necessary,
people saw bugs on not.
As if to prove his words he ran the pole up
