of old schoolboy days and my scompan- ion became quite cheerful. Then we chatted about the war, and this led up to the subject of his wound. got him to describe the first sensations of pain in his head, and to repeat in substance what the different doctors had said con- corning it.
 ''I happened to have strong prepar- ation of hasheesh at hand, and along about nino o'clock gave him dose. Then, while he was under it's influence, I carefully examined his head. I had this advantage over previous doctors, that his head was now but skin and bone In little while I felt slight twitching, sort of abnormal pulsation, about two inches above the left ear. What could it mean? It might be mere- 1y an affection of the nerves, or it might be caused by the undiscovered bullet.
 ''I then set my mind to work and thought the whole case over steadily. In the first place, was that impulse to take human life, of which my poor friend had spoken, really uncontrolla- ble? Suppose, for example, hs were to go one day to that young lady's home Tor the express purpose or snootlng her, would he accomplish the act? To say that the insane mind never changes its design, or turns from tho compile tion of its purpose, is simply to say that the insane mind is stronger than the sane.
 ssOn the other hand, my poor friend believed the impulse to be uncontrolla- ble, and therefore, as far as any reac- tion upon himself was concerned, it was practically so; for he was satisfied in his own mind that the sacrificing of his own life was the only way to save the life of another.
 "Again, possibly his story was mere pretense to excuse the commission of suicide. The suicidal mania is one of the subtlest of manias, and it's. victims have been known to proceed to any ex- tent in their attempts to justify their self murdef to those they leave behind!

 Ut was an awful question and it struck me dumb. l shall never forget that moment, for it was the most im- pressive of my entire life. The twi- light was upon us, and the pale, hag- gard face of the man as he stood above me awaiting my answer, ap- peared to belong to the denizen of an- other world. E
 tI rose to my feet and paced up and down the room. What should l say? An answer in the negative might make me an accomplice in the murder of an innocent girl; in the affirmative party to the suicide of dear old friend. The responsibility was too great, more than the closest friendship could fairly demand. Istopped in front of my questioner and told him so.
 "'True,' he responded calmly, you are right, Morton. It is a matter must resolve for myself. Forgive me for dis concerting you and-farewell."
