In December. 1854, the name on tho
books of the lessee of this house against
suit No. 8. which comprised the rooms
i'll the upper story, was Julian Maxey.
In that month of that year and week
after the episode OH the cliff road the art
ist was talking with his friend, the
physician. in the large square chamber,
the last in his series, which he was ac-
customed to call his sitting room. The
great easy chairs and the comfortable
sofa i'll this apartment seemed to war
rant the appellation. The piano, the nu-
merous rows of well filled bookshelves
and sideboard with decanter on it
somewhat widencd the range of posi-
bilities, however, and the presence of q
bed, shut in with pretty lace curtains,
made the term entirely inadequate to
the subject 1t was a room, in fact, in
which a stranger might have spent days
and nights of profit and amusement
without Il 10 necessity of going out very
frequently for anything pertaining to
luxuries on necessities, bodily or mental
ly. Indian clubs and dumbbells on shelf
in cornet afforded an opportunity for
indoor exercise; the sideboard was
treasury OF refreshment; there was read
ing enough for a years study. The walls
We're covered with pictures, and q half
painted cdnvas on an easel near win
dow showed another i'll tho process Of
manufacture There was cheerful fire
i'll an open CRATE On the center table
was sewing basket, some fancy work,
several uncut magazines and papers,
cigar case and reading lamp. From
any point in tho room the occunant
could command view of the broad riv.
er and of the fields and spires ON tho
farther shore. At this time Of wear tho
fields and hills were white. and the river
was full Of ice.
The DOCTOR had lust como out of a
windowless alcovechambcr which might
be separated from the main apartment
by curtains, now prettiiy looped back.
In the obsturity beyond could be seen n
bed and tho face of young woman
pale face, with large. dark eyes which
royed about incessantly, as if in quest
of horror that never came.
GLOW does She seem todnyPo Julian
Maxey oue estioned in a tone of deep anx.
iety.
.'Just al she has been since we found
her, Just as she seems likely to be for
the rest of her (lays-in a state of total
eclipse. " There was no air of iocularity
about DR.. Lamar's manner He was
very much dissatisfied with the situa-
tion, although his concern was of a DIFF
ferent nature from Maxev,s. A medical
problem that baiiied him ALWAYS aroused
III him a grim antagonism that was far
from humorous.
"You don't mean to tell me Won are
beginning to look upon this as a hone

nation Whenever Maxey got excited.
