CHAPTER XIII.

The Mortified manner OF the cracks
man was now fully explained.
In his present condition, when mis-
nerves were out Of shape, 1t had given
him terrible shock to suddenly set eyes
upon the face of the dead doctor.
Why?
Either because his hand was red with
his blood, or else some terrible picture
was called up in his mind by the spec
tacle now before his vision.
That was what I was present for
what had stuck to him like aleech for,
passing through various dangers

Now was my time.
would never know better.
He had become terribly demoralized
by the unexpected appearance Of DR..
Seabrry's body on the scene, and was in
q condition when his mind could be most
readily reached by threat.
One Of my plans had failed-1 had been
-.- ,JIe TO tempt him into con6ding the
truth to me.
The other must be tried, and this was
the time for it.
aBless my soul, If it isn't the Doctor!"
exclaimed, as though astounded.
He shook his head in feeble assent,
having seated himself upon box.
"This is one of the most singular
things I ever heard Of. In fact it looks
suspicious. Why should the body OF DR..
Seabury haunt US? What had we to do
with his death?"
Colonel Cain groaned.
His face was white as chalk, and his
knees seemed to knock together, showing
greater evidence of fright than l had
ever thought him capable of.
ats me he's after, Joslyn," he mutter-
ed.
sThe deuce you say. Why should he be
after you, man alive?" .
"You forget man, was in his house
the night he died"
His eyes seemed burning in their SOCK
cts, and his breath came thick and hot.
Was this tacit admission to the effect
that he had been concerned In the death
of the old physician?
could hardly take 1t as such, and yet
there was undoubtedly bearing that
way. The alarm Of the burglar at sight
Of the dead man, his fear OF the police,
and the presence Of q creese In bis room
and now on his person as an evidence he
wished to hide-all these things served
to make hope spring up in my soul
again.
What II he should confess the truth
that he was guilty Of the crimep
would have to take him into Gus
tody and turn him over to the proper Of
fcials-
Then could seek Mr.. Ketcham and
let him know that the drama had been
ended virtually without his assistance. :
In imagination pictured myself as
quietly telling him that I had run the
murderer down, got him to confess the
whole truth, and that he was now safely
Gagged in the Tombs.
The very thought was e1hilarating. I
drew q quick breath, and then came to
my senses. AS yet I was long way from
reaching that point. Some delicate work
was yet to be done before could truly
say that had the matter down fine.
One thing was in my favor.
Colone! Cain was In splendid condition
to be brought to terms.
His recent experience with that dread
agent Of Observation-Disclosures the
shock received from setting eyes on the
dead doctor, had unnerved him far more
than any threat of personal violence
could do.

A MEMORY.
BIZ J. p. v. KOON6.

Above our heads the robin sang,
And heaven was in his throat,
The orchard with his music rang;
But sweeter than his note
Were loving words that banished gloom.
As sunshine does the mist,
While snowy drifts Of apple bloom
Our upturned faces kissed.
Such moments are the flowers Of time,
The immsrtelles Of life,
That linger like tuneful rhyme,
And lull its waves Of strife.

And then at some windows display;
And as she comes nearer each step she acts

But has not seen me to-day.
When q block away she looks at her nose;
At her toes, when two doors away;
And then with surprise she lifts her dark
eyes
And bids me smiling "good-day."

Ahl the secret was partly out He

naturally came to me, and playec my
part.
"Hallo! what do you know about the
house Of DR.. Seabury, Colonel?"
"A good DEAL" he replied, COMPRISING
his lips, while frown appeared on his
forehead.

@Come, Colonel, this knocks me. What's

"He was. Read the papers, Joslyn,

as much as I could tell you II I wanted

his face even showing alarm.

Not batfled yet, I returned to the at

"Then forget it. deny anything OF
the sort"
Here was dilemma.
l had not expected him to get 80 sus-
picious or alarmed. he had suddenly
come to his senses, and bethougAt him
self that the least said with regard to
this matter the sooner mended.
Whatever it might be that he knew
about the murder, it was quite evident
that he did not mean to confide 1t to me.
My intention was strengthened by
defeat.
I saw that 1t was worth while working
this mine. The truth would come out
at some time, and I believed that by
force or persuasion this man could be
made to tell all he knew.
One means had failed-should I bring
the other to bear upon him?
This was q sober question, and one
that did not care to decide without
further amount Of reflection.
There seemed no other way OF arrang-
ing the matter, however. and was al
most ready to throw myself into the
breach when something occurred to
throw me off the track again for time.
The Colonel gave start, and sudden
ly blew out the candle.
"Why did you do that?" asked.

The Future of Greece.

1t is impossible to have intercourse
with modern Greeks without being
touched with some degree Of the enthu-
siasm which inspires them in discussing
the future of their country, or without
sharing the confidence with which they
approach it. 1t may be true that the
people are of hybrid race, that little of
the old Hellenic blood flows in their
veins, but few European nations of note,
our own perhaps least of all, can boast
unmixed descent. There is that in the
air this people breathe, in the language
they speak, the land they live in, which
is of the very spirit of liberty.
One meeting countryman on the road
accosts him as ''patriote, term of more
significance, of larger meaning than
Citizen" But they are people deeply
democratic and require gentle handling
to steer liberty clear of the shoals of Ii
cense. Murmurings against the growth
of taxation are already heard, and the
extraordinary activity of the press in
sures the publicity of every unpopular
act of the administration Blackwood's

year girl alone, her mother having
gone out on an errand. He picked
the girl up and carried her to an

commit brutal crime. The child
