CHAPTER XIII

Mr.. Falck often blamed himself for
haging left Chicago in this precipitate
fashion without taking leave Of Hulda.
1t occurred to him that he might have
offered her his help in case she We're
ever TO require it, He managed at the
man to the Rev. DIR. Trump (having no
knowledge OF English), in which he
begged him as a favor to inform him
whether the Bruins were in comfortable
circumstances, and in case they were in
need to draw on him for n stated sum
Ga very generous one) without letting
them know whence the money came.
Hut TO this letter he never received a re-
ply. Whether DIR. Trump was ignorant
of German and did not think the letter
OF sufficient consequence to have it
translated, or whether Chicago, with
olt indication of street or number, was
an insufficient address was a problem
beyond his power of solution. But hav-
ing an ineradicable conviction that Olaf
Brun was miserable humbug whose
worthlessness would be sure 10 mani
fest itself ON short acquaintance, Falck
was unable to set his conscience at rest
and dismiss Hulda's fate as Of no fur
ther concern 20 him. He communicated
none Of his fears to the rest Of the fam
lily, for Hulda's name was never men
toned now in her old home, nor did he
encourage Mrs. Brinckman's obvious
scheme TO have him transfer his affec-
tions 10 Magda, but ON the plea Of i'll
health he asked and obtained years
leave of absence, which he determined
10 devote to a second pilgrimage in
search of his well beloved For mod
est, virginal man like him, with his old
fashioned notions of right and wrong,
it was no easy matter to transfer his af-
fections Though abstractly he admitted
TO himself that it might be good thing
he lacked the fiexibility, the pliability
to adapt himself to new love. Hulda
had filed and filed yet his soul so com
| pletely that there was room for no one
/ else And, strange to say, he would
| have regarded il as "A species of sacri-
| lege to install any one, even though il
were her sister, amid all the precious
memories which belonged 70 her and 10
her alone His heart was like a hushed
death chamber which is scrupulously
kept in the condition in which it was
left by the dear departed. Hulda had

which it was capable Of yielding, and
now the instrument seemed cracked,
hopelessly untuned, and il was but right
that it should resign itself TO silence
He tried sometimes 10 persuade him.

had a right TO be angry, but though the
argument was irrefutable the resentment

that seemed a matter Of minor conRe-

pprtant question what she had maanged

essential 10 Falck's well being, nay, to
his very existence, 10 have this question
settled, and IL was therefore that he set
out in April, lss--, for the United
States.

until this moment he had been buoyed
up by an absurd hopo-it grew black
before his eyes; The floor seened to
surge under his feet, and he cid not
dare to take a step TO the right or to the
left for fear Of falling. It was the bride
groom's ironical smile which recalled
INN to his senses. With mighty effort
he pulled himself together and stepped
aside while the eager congratulators
pressed forward
Who is this gontleman?" inquired
DR. Trump as he fixed an inquiring
glance upon the intruder

ents wished me to marry. Hulda an

Falck with any clear realization of his
appearance until this moment. IN her
agitation all things had swum before
her vision i'm Il luminous mist But now
the severity died out Of her eyes, and a
light of compassion was kindled in
stead, for every lineament Of his face
was a record Of suffering His eye pits
were sunken and strangely discolored,
his cheeks hollow, and there was a
drawn, strained look about his mouth.
So gaunt was he. so wasted by sorrow
and exertion that every bone IN his
anatomy became unpleasantly suggest

from looking at her feeling how dire.
fully conspicuous he was and yet not
knowing how to obliterate himself
Then the thought flashed through his
brain that his presence must be embar-
RAISING to her, nay, even painful, and
he marveled at his stupidity in not hay

toward the door and managed 20 slip
out, as he fancied unperceived. He was
glad to get out into the large, compass
sionate night, to feel the dusk close
about him and encompass him, to sci
his face against the storm and have
some physical obstacle to wrestle with.
He walked along rapidly, stumbling and
reeling but still driven on with a som
nambulistic inevitableness by some
fierce, irrational impulse.
He never knew whittier he walked
before losing consciousness nor how
long. But he found himself the next
morning in police station, having beer
arrested for yagrancy. In the Afternoon
he bought his return ticket over South
ampton to Norway.

Dorian Gray glanced at the picture, and
suddenly an uncomfortable feeling Of hatred
for Basil Hallward came over him. The
mad passions Of a hunted animal stirred
within him, and he loathed the man who
was seated at the table, more than he had
ever ioathed anything In his whole life. He
glanced wildly around. Something giim-
mered on the top OF the painted chest that
faced him. His eye fell o IL. He knew
what it was. II was a knife that he had
brought up, some days before, to cut a piece
OF cord, and had forgotten 70 take away with
him He moves slowly toward it, passing
Hallward as he did so. As soon az ne got
behind him, he seized ii. and turned round.
Hallwari moved IN his chair as IL he was
going to rise. He rushed az him. and dug
the knife into the great vein that is behind
the ear, crushing the mans head down on
the table, aud stabbing again and again.
There was a stiied groan, and the horri-
bic sound Of some one choking with blood.
The Dutstretched arms shot up c0nvulsively
three times, waving grotesque stif- fingered
hands in the air. He stabbed him once
more, but the man did not move. Some
thing began to trickle on the floor. He
waited for "a momeut. stll pressing the
head down. Then he threw the knife on
the table, and listened.
He could hear nothing, bat the drip, drip
on the thread bare carpet. He opened the
door. and went out on the landing. The
house was quite quiet. No one was stirring.
He took out the key, and returned to the
Proom, locking himself in as he did SO.

NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY WOMAN.
Men Agree That Nsgging IL

A most interesting discussion has
been going on within the pink pages Of
an English magazine, says the y. Y.
Commercial advertiser. The men have
been asked, What shortcomings in a
woman (other than physically is most

the men have responded 10 this invita-
ton TO express their views. Oh. dear,
yes. One would really think tina,

seems undignitied. 1t makes one call
up the picture of a crowd of masculine
gossips discussing a woman's petty fail
ings, and even the unparalleled ac-
counts smack a bit of the crank who in
his deplorable ignorance vaunts that he
has got the women down fine" But
how very bard some of these fellows are
