HIS MIND GAVE WAY.
Narrowing Result of Encountering Po-
likeness Where 1t Was Not Expacted.


1t was nine o'clock in the lovely lit
tie breakfast room of the Stormonth
family. 1t was also nine o'clock else
where. The little onyx and ormolu
clock on the mantel had just an
nounced the hour in silvery notes,
when Mr. Stormonth finished his last
piece of bacon, seized his hat and
coat and started for the office.
Don't overtax yourself to-day" his
wife called after him. He laughed a
blithe reply. Stormonth was the
most level-headed man on the street"
and didn't fear overwork.

sounded sharp on the ear. The cable

themselves over es muck seat room as

leaving an unoccupisd place on the
long cushion.
"Ah haw said Stormonth to himself,
this is luck. I've got seat down
town"
CHAPTER III.
Two blocks further on thS Sripman
saw lady on the crossing MAKE the
reckoning gesture which womea use
when they want to have streeS car
stop. The gripman turned his lever
and the woman stepped aboard The
train, which again began to bowl mer-
rily along on its way.
The woman paused, and with a

| Every seat was taken.
| CHAPTER ".
Rut Stormonth was quick to GRASP
the situation.
Rising from his seat and lifting his
hat, he said politely: Madam, won
you have this seat?"
Then he started to go out on the
platform. A voice arrested his prog
ress. 1t was the lady, who, before
accepting the seat, turned towards
him and said, distinctly:
THANK you.
The color fed from Stormouth's face
leaving it white as marble. He passed
his hand over his eyes as il to brush
away the evil phantasmagorla OF
dream. ia

"Thank you," repeated the lady.
A low moan came from Stormonth

earthly laughter. The shock had beer
too great. -
