With these words she sprang past him.
But one thought filed her mind. Ernest
was ill-Ernest, perhaps ~dying-perhaps
dead! 1t almost seemed the latter when he
was brought IN, pale and unconscious.
The days merged into weeks, and his life
was despaired Of, but Elsa never left his bed
side.
You love him so we'll, /" the doctor whis-
pered to her one day. Elsa, ~ l save him

She waited until he had left her, then fell
on her knees and prayed from her soul

WHY MUIR WANTED DETECTIVES.
The Reason Not Revealed Through q Talk
with n New York Agent.

The Reason Not Revealed Through . Talk
with n New York Agent.
The somewhat mysterious story published
this morning, relating to Mr.. Joseph Muir,
the senior partner Of the firm Of H.. Muir q
Sons, manufacturing jewellers, OF this city
and Philadelphia, was brought to the notice
Of Mr.. Henry Reich. the New York agent Of
tho Arm. who wal not at all disposed to COM
init himself on the subject.
He stated that the telegram dated Long
Branch yesterday asking that a detective be
sent to that place at once and intimaiing
danger had been duly received and acted
upon. He said the matter looked somewhat
mysterious, but woul be found susceptible
OF such explanation as would at once reduce
the mountain to q molehill.
The story, he said. was one grand mistake,
that the telegram referred to something of
no importance whatever aud should not
have been published. Mr.. Muir had never
shown signs of any mental weakness. On
the contrary, he was o bright. active, intelli-
gent business man
In. regard to the insinuations that family
troubles were at the bottom OF the affair,
MIR. Reich asserted in the most positive
manner that such was not the case.
Mr.. Reich evaded direct questions on the
subject, sa ing he would be better able to
speak when expected advices had been re-
ceiyed from Philadelphia.
Detective Heidelberg. referred to in tho
Long Branch despatch. was seen at Police
Headquar ers this morning, and stubbornly
refused to talk upon the subject.

Then | told her all that | had heard. She
listened to the end. when she rose and laid
the letter and its envelope back where she
had found them. She took up two kid
gloves.
:" must mend them, as l promised, F." she
said. IN Icy calm.
But as she reached the door l heard her
murmur to herself:
ut is the last time. Oh, God. that l might
SO mend my heart !"
The afternoon was darkening into twilight.
when as | s partly doing on a ~fauteuil in
one corner of the hotel salon, l was aroused
by the sound of voices, and recognized Err
nests tones as he said to his companion;

newcomers.
His wife ~ we exclaimed. aghast.
Certainly! Did you not know he was q
married man? He has been q Benedict three
years. 1 Am surprised to hear he IL alone"
Fortunately, Elsa was not present. A
sudden impulse prompted me to find and tell
her all, lest she should hear the truth in a
less gentle way, for !, who loved the girl,
knew that size loved this man.
Straightway / went to Elsa's room, but not
finding her there l remembered having heard
the doctor ask her to execute some small SER
vice for him. and l FASTENED to- his room.
Through the half open door l caught a
glimpse of the stra ght young figure, but the
next moment l started back. The mirror.
before which she stood, reflected her face. 1t
was white and drawn.
Softly l entered the room, closing the door
behind me. She turned like some hunted
thing. Then / saw that in her hand she held
a letter.

sprang forward. and. clasped to my breast,
burst into Q passion of sobs.

been collecting from 1876 to 1925 a
month rent, or even more. from the proprie-
tor of the stand, thus receiving pay for the
use of the streets which belong to the
