When Thorndyke left the Office ne be-

discovery of which the very life of his
case would depend, had been destroyed,
and there was small comfort in the re-
fiection that there was no apparent
reason for the disappearance of both of

company was undoubtedly genuine.
and he could not understand why it,
too, should be missing. He felt keenly
the need of an adviser, but in city
where the interests of every other re-
sponsible person might be against him,
he was afraid to trust anyone. To be
sure, there were Protheroc and Dun

to say the least, something less than
invigorating. For the first fortnight

the next day would finish him. Then

side toward accomplishment grew into
respectable mountains of difficulty, =
winged spirit of energy. which was.
perhaps, only an unused heritage from
his handwriting father, began to pos
sess him, breaking the bonds of habit
and lifting him out of the rut of in
trospection. One morning he forgot
to count his pulse, and the daily analy
sis of his symptoms was omitted for
the first time in weeks; and that night
he slept with open windows, through
which the cool breeze from the noun
tain blew across the bed, and no harm
came of it. He was too busy to think
much about his infirmity at the time.
but week later he stepped upon the
patent weighing-machine in the ro-
tunda of the Johannisberg, and wher
the pointer failed to record the usual
decrease he went to his room AMI
dropped the half-used bottle of hypo-
rhosphites into the CRATE. That was
the turning of the tide, and by the
time his fellow-migrants in the exotic
city were beginning to wilt under the
fervid summer sun, Philip was growing
stronger in body and saner in mind;
fcats which were sharp enough to slim
ulate without being heavy enough to
crush.
And while he wrestled with the diff
ficulties of the legal problem, the fire
burned within him, consuming some
rubbish and shedding new light into
the dusl<y corners of the soul-chamber
hitherto obscured by the shadows of i'll
health and morbidness. The light was
terially lessened the distance between
the ostensible Philip and Philip The
real. For one thing, it belittled the mo-
tive which was responsible for his
work. Allowing the promptings of
common humanity their full weight.
the fact remained that his enthusiasm
had for it's starting-point desire to
win the approval of Elsie Duncan.
That was the new ideal, and his saner
thought told him that it was wretched-
ly inadequate; that it sprang from i'm
pulse and was degraded in the hour
of it's birth by unfaith. Unworthy as
it was, it was still an ideal. and Philip
lashed himself into a small fury Of
self-contempt when he discovered that
it was no longer the motive for his
exertions; that Elsie's appreciation and
Kilgrow's wrongs were secondary con
siderations in comparison with the
strenuous urgings of a newly aroused
ambition squirting him on to wiring vic
tory out of defeat for victory's sake.

GERHARD to Tell Which Felt Worse
When 1t Was All Over.
1t was the third day of an auction
sale of the china, bric-a-brao and furni
ture of the last representative Of IN old
New York family, and the auction room
was crowded to tho doors with dealers
in antiques, oonnoisseurs, Spectators
and people who had just dropped in to
fish up bargain i'll glass or china if an
opportunity offered. There were large
number Of women present, and they
were principally bargain seekers.
The auctioneer seemed used to such
crowds and continued to call out the
bids monotonously despite the amusing
situation that arose every time he
reached an article which one Of the
women had marked to buy for herself.
Things had been quiet for time when
the auctioneer reached No. FOG ON the
catalogue, which was cup and sau-
Ger of Sevres china. 1t was a very pref
ty bit of Sevres, cleverly decorated and
frail enough to suit the most artistic
fancy. 1t was such piece rs might be
purchased at any fine china or glass
store for So, and it certainly would not
have been reasonable to expect more

tioneer didn't expect more, and under
ordinary circumstances he wouldn't
have got so much, but these were not
ordinary circumstances 1t happened
that two bargain seeking women had
marked that cup and saucer for them
selves. They were only separated by a
dozen seats and an aisle through tho
maze of camp stools, and, Of course,
neither had any notion that she would
have very much competition for such q
trif1e. They were well dressed women,
and one was quito young. They sat in
their seats without word, while q
clolsonne jardiniere worth 800 was
knocked down to n dealer for $50, and
they never ventured n bid on bits of
Worcester, Dresden, Coalport and other
kinds of china, which were sold for ri
dlculously low prices. But when the auo-
tloneer YEARLY remarked in his profess
sional tone: "What IN offered for this
cup and saucer? Guarantee goes with
every piece. Gimme bid, please" he
was amazed ut two shrill voices which
called out simultaneously:
