you look it. Did you not receive my re-
cent letters in which I announced that I
would soon do myself the honor of calling
upon you? But see by your welcoming
smiles that such IS indeed the case. How
do you do?"
He approached each OF the ladies In
turn, extending his hand, but they
shrank from him as from an.embOdied
pestilence.
~Whatl You decline to. shake hands
with me or extend to me the welcome
due a long absent and esteemed uncle
and brother-in-law?" he cried, as a flush
of anger oYerspread his face you're
too good to speak to me? What in the
world are we coming to when human
affection and brOtherly love are at such
a discount? Such conduct is calculated
to bring the 'briny' to my eyes. although
am by no means addicted to weeping.
Once more, how do you do?"
He again moved abruptly toward the
mother and daughter, extending his
hand, but again they avoided him, Jessie
taking refuge in an adjacent pantry
while her mother reiterated behind the
stove.
~Come, come, Mr.. Moreland," ex-
claimed DIR. Robinett, sternly, in re-

ceived from his new patients. "This

at glance that you are an intruder and
that the ladies do not wish to say a word
to youl"
%Well, what have you to do with that,
sir?" demanded Radd, furiously, as he
turned and confronted the Doctor. @Do
you wish TO come between me and my
dear relatives? Is it any part of your
trade to promote family broils? Attend
to your own business, sir, and leave me
in peace, or you will regret It'll"
Enough of all this, Radd," spoke up
Mrs. Moreland, in a very firm voice, al
though she was deathly pale. "You do
not need to be told that we are done with
you forever, and that you must refrain
from intruding upon us, or We shall in
woke the law against you Leave us on
the Instant"
II sha'n't do anything of the kind,
thank you, -" retorted Radd. 81 am here
to stay"
At this moment DR.. Robinett took the
intruder by the arm with no gentle
fervor.
@You have heard all Mrs. Morland has
to say TO YOU" he observed, with ges-
ture toward the door. @You must go.D
~rll go when I get ready" returned
Radd, moro furious than ever, "and I'll
fix a date as soon as have taken little

head of DR.. RObinett with such force as

lifeless at his feet
The shrieks of terror with which Mrs.
Moreland and Jessie flew to the Doctors
side did not deter the intruder from
brandishing his chair above their heads
~Silence, both Of YOU" he enjoined,
menacing them ~The least noise from
you and 1'll kill all three of you'll If you
want war, You shall have it to your
hearts contenti Silencei"
His mien was so terrible that the
mother and daughter did not dare offer
word OF response, but busted themselves
with stanching the blood which flowed
from an ugly cut over the Doctors right
ear.
~Therel that's more Ike I'll" cried
Radd, lowering his chair and bounding
to the door, which he opened. @Come in,

As he came back into the sltting-room,
the mother and daughter were horrifed
to see that he was followed by Agnus
Hillingt0n and Walt Hutchley-
They arose in terror retreating Into
