uS you OuSHt.
Lamar turned his head away very
quickly.
MRS. Forsytbe is lady," he said in
low voice She is very handsome.
She is very talented woman. She has
a fortune, and / have been called a
thousand times lucky dogp"
'tAll this is much, Eustace, but do
you really love her?"
Lamar made an impatient gesture.
'You don't expect me to talk sentl-
ment, I hope?"
Maxey sighed.
''That's the trouble was afraid of.
You are too much wrapped up in your
science, and you imagine you don't be-
ieve in these things. But I tell you,
Lamar, they are just as real and essen
tial as anything else in our lives. "
Lamar attempted to force tone OF
POPULARITY.
"When did you experience your last
great passage, Maxey?"
"You know I never had one. But
believe init know it, because have
seen it..
"Oh, indeed!' Lamar's words We're
dry and short, but somehow he looked
much more distressed than Indifferent.
Maxey went on earnestly: 'Eustace,
it has been your province ON many i'm
portant occasions to give me advice, and
you must acknowledge that in however
bad grace accepted it I generally acted
on it. can't expect you to take mine,
but am none the less going to advise
you. If you marry Mrs. Forsythe for her
money, you will regret it all the days of
your life.''
Lamar turned upon him almost an
grily, "Who told you that, Maxey?"
The artist replied little stiffiy:
Nobody. inferred it from what you
said. You do not love her. Don't marry
her.
Love her? No. But, what is more to
the point, esteem and respect her. That
is enough. Maxey, this is not an agree
able subject to me. Don't let us refer to
it again. Ny mother has set her heart
ON this match, and even if were con-
WINGED of its unadvisability could not
honorably retreat now. If there was a
time when had little romantic feel
ing for Mrs. Forsythe, and if time and
a better acquaintance with her have en-
abled me to overcome it, why, that is
my affair. If was weak enough or fool
ish enough to take n hasty, impulsive
step in an all important matter-a step
which I have since had reason to re-
gret-that is my affair too If I have
said to You that which have told and
shall tell to no other person upon earth,
it is because I know you too well to be-
ieve that you would betray my conf
dence. Julian, you will not mention
that I have said this much to you to
living soul-not even to-
He stopped and averted his glance and
went ON again: mot even to your near
est and dearest friend. Now, let us
change the subject -
Maxey looked at his friend regretful-

piano.
"Well, said the physician at length,
''you were saying that you had your

somewhat remarkable that he disap-
peared from the house in Flood street
the very same day that this crime was
committed on the cliff road?"

again, put his hand ON his friend 8 shout
der and said gravely:
"Maxey, we must cause the newspa-
pers to lie for us. We must give it out
that the girl is dead; that the operation
killed her. If there is anything in this
beyond vulgar wayside robbery, we
must put the rascals off their guard by
making them feel at their ease.
"Eustace, what are you thinking Of?
Your reputation -

with a momentary bitterness. "Well, "

"I will see him at once, " said Maxey.
