A messenger of hope and happiness

And should turn and walk alone that day,
How could 1 dare
When in the evening watch I knelt TO
pray
To ask for help to bear my pain and loss.
IL had needed not my brothers cross?
If might sing
little song to cheer a faintirg heart
And should seal my lips and sit apart,
When might bring
A hit of sunshine for Efe's ache and smart
How could 1 hope to have my grief re-
lievcd,
If kept silent when my brother grieved :?
And so I know
That day is lost wherein fail to lend
A helping hand to some wayfaring friend;
But if it show

Then do 1 hold the golden hours wei!

haunted my door would be driven on
to howl about the dwelling of the next
poor devil. At an earlier stage of my

1 gave the promise, and saw him step
out into the night, without concerning
myself greatly as to the probable out
come of our alliance. Then I went my
way to rouse up the owner of a livery
stable near by and to bargain with him
for vehicle. Although he had never
profted by my patronage, he knew. me
to be q physician, and therefore sup
posedly subject to late calls from dis
tant patients. l had decided to drive
to Merton. a town about 90 miles away,

no haggling over it, for I got as much

he demanded; there was certainly more
of novelty for me in participating in
such Il transaction.
When, at the time appointed, Lamar
returned to the Office, he carried small
black satchel, which apparently con-
tanned all the effects he cared to take
with him. The carriage was at the
door, the driver grumbling to himself
at the long ride which lay before him.
Once in the vehicle, Lamar settled him
self comfortably in his corner and
lighted a cigar. The satchel was on
the seat beside him. / observed that
his hand never left it. Neither of US
spoke often in the course of the drive.
There were questions I burned to ask,
but it was altogether likely that they
would not be answered. AS his en-
ploye, L felt compelled to respect his
moods, and his present one was certain
ly that of reticence. Although the
road was good, and the motion of the
vehicle easy, felt no drowsiness; my
strange companion supplied me with
abundant food for reflection. Our
Jehu took his time, and the horses were
not ambitious. but before daylight our
destination had been reached. 4
sleepy attendant led us to our rooms
in the Merton hotel, and little later
was slumbering as peacefully as if I
had been slowed away in my dingy
quarters in the city, with never pros
pect of an adventure more unusual
than an encounter with dunning
creditor.

the scheme outlined the night before.

substantial breakfast was spread on the

that we should shun the hotel dining

osity developed by our cxclusiveness.
Lamar was seated at the table, with q

dark circles under his eyes, they gave
him the look of man whose health was
irretrievably shattered, though, as it
proved, his physical condition was no
matter of immediate concern. As has

There was hardly one of the mans fea

grotesque in its uncomeliness; yet in
studying the expression of his counter

business of the physician sometimes

that he bore 4 token from my best

probable that he was n political exile.

could not change my condition for the
worse. There would be at least the
prospect of a decent LIVELIHOOD; and
very aliuring that prospect was. In
short. it was difficult to discover how
should be the loser. A moderately
successful practitioner would have

conducive of oycr-confidence. So, now

What brought him to such straits
Over and over again asked myself the
question. That political intrigues had
made him an outlaw seemed to be the
most natural explanation, but it failed
to meet all the requirements of the
case. A political offender, once in the
United States, would be free to go about
openly, yet here he was in hiding and
anxious to reach still more remote
refuge. His manner was that of one
accustomed to exercise authority. Why
should he have intrusted his fate TO a
stranger, young and poor? Surely be.
might have commanded far more
powerfully ally. 1t was as if II his
game with fate he had chosen to risk
his all on the slenderest OF chances and
at the greatest odds.
He gave me time enough fer these
reflections; for after the first saluta-
tions he relapsed into silence. Perhaps
he guessed what the trend of my
thoughts would be, and was willing to
allow me an opportunity to study him.
Not until my meal was finished did
he speak. He had lighted a cigar, and
was watching the rings of smoke.

he answered, but no sooner was the
explanation made than he appeared
to regret it; for he added: ''But to our
subject. Permit me to lay before you
plan"
''Pray proceed" said I, somewhat
puzzled as to what was to come.
''This it is: That you, having this
afternoon to do with as you may, re-
turn to the city and there conclude
such affairs as are pressing. It is most
probable that another opportunity so
excellent may not present itself"
His meaning was sufficiently patent.

suit me better than to fall in with his
desire. So [ said:
