"Can Il be done?" asked Hendricks.
Hardly" the doctorreplied. II don't
think the creature was ever born who
could. In that way, put himself to sleep
while facing eternity. especially after
committing a crime. His conscience
would not allow IT," DIR. LamplSin bent
forward, and made n close examination
OF the dead mans features. Poor fell
lowl" he said. HE evidently tried 20
sleep. 1 think he wanted to be found
with smile on his face. But he failed.
Even in death he shows the awful dread
he must have had. There is no doubt
that he mentally suffered. Do you
know what a friend of mine Is doing?
He is making study of the features OF
the dead. for the purpose of scientifical-
ly proving TO people who don't believe
In the Immortality Of the soul that
there is n future life. He says IL only

could read on the faces OF dead people

that it is n great field for study. He

81 hope" Hendricks remarked, with
shudder, as he glanced at the dead
mans features, "your friend would not
argue that the horrible expressions on
the faces of some suicides would prove
that--that they have no-chance, you
know"
"Not at ALL" replied the doctor. HE
says the soul is simply separated from
the body 20 hastily that there is no time
for Il TO leave it's real expression. But
we are certainly en- gruesome subject.
| I suppose Farleigh used the cotton bat
ting TO close up the chinks in the door.
TO deaden the sound of the pistol"
Hendricks nodded, lowered the gas,
end led his friend down to the street.
He hastily explained TO the policeman
what had happened, and told him TO
stand guard at the place till he could
summon the coroner.
at suppose you are going to notify the
coroner the first thing you do" OBJ
served DIR. Lampkin, as they were en-
terinE a telegraph office on Broadway.
Hendricks took blank from the desk,
and, without replying, hastily wrote Il
message. When he had finished it, he
handed il TO his friend, with hearty
smile.
That's the first thing on the pro-
gramme, and 1 thank God that am able
70 do it,"
Miss Annette Delmar" ran the message
Murderer OF Strong just suicided, leav-
ing complete confession. WILDLY shall be
released tomorrow.
'LAAIPKIN AND HENDRICKS"
"Will IL be so soon as that?" the doc
tor asked.
Eyes; n telegraphic report from the
chief of police here will do the work
can manage that. But the little cir
will be happy enough when she gets
this telegram"
Now you will inform the coroner,
suppose" said Lampkin.
Not before fire message at Wild
by" said Hendricks. There is M
hurry about the other. 1t won't take
n coroner's jury long TO give n verdic
when they read the confession"
The next day at IL o'clock Hen
bricks called at DIR. Lampkin's Office
He found the doctor alone.
"It's all right" he exclaimed. g
thought you'd want to feel sure abou
IL, so ran up. The news has just reachet
