the audience was not large enough to
warrant the rendition of the afternoon

Meantime he looked at the paner
anxious to see if there was anything
about his crime of the previous night.
AS he anticipated there was a short
statement. but owing to the late hour
at which the affair had taken place, a
very full report had not come to hand.
The paragraph was headed IA
Curious Affair. and it stated that q
gentleman called Lancelot Alther had
gone up to Mr.. Adrian Lancaster's
room early in the morning and found
the owner absent, and a mutual friend,
MIR. Philip Trevanna, lying half dead
on the floor. He had been stunned.

any explanation OF the assault as he
was now in a high fever. and it was

Lancaster had disappeared and no
trace of him had been discovered.

sigh OF relief as he read the news.
Il didn't kill him after all. " he said
IN a thankful tone. The was only

He Wa. an Old Family Friend.

An old mar wa leading a thin old
horse across the common in the north
ern part Of the city, when a passer-by
asked him where he was going.
I'm searching for a bit of green for
the poor BEAST" he answered.
I'D send him to the boneyard and to
the glue factory" said the other, con-
t%emptuously.
Would you?" asked the old man in
a trembling voice; "if he had been the
best friend you had in the world, and
helped you to carr food for your family
for nearly twenty-five years? If the
children that's gone and the children
that's Twin had played with their arms
around his neck and their heads on
him for a pillow, when they had no
other? Sir, he's carried us to mill and
70 meetin', an, please God, he shall
Ole like a Christian, an I'll bury him
with these old hands. Nobody'll ever
abuse old Bill, for if he goes afore me
there are those who are paid to look
after him."
Il beg your pardon said the man
who had accosted him; there is a diff
ference in people,"
"Ay, and In horses, too," said the old
man, as he passed on with his four
looted Observation-Disclosures Times.

CHAPTER vi.
The fortunes of He'll.

Day by day the papers informed
Adrian OF the progress which Philip
Irevanna was making toward re-.
covery, and the astonishment excited
by his W strange disappearance.
but he was poWerless to come forward,
explain the circumstances OF the af-
fair, aud resume his place among his
fe)low-men. He had sinned in per-
hitting his temper to lead him to so
nearly kill a human being. and this
was his punishment-this dreary life
OF forced inaction, of agonizing re-
morse. and of terrible self-reproach.
Truly he was paying dearly for the
n mad act of his life. and to his
mind the punishment appeared i'm
m~easurably severe to the magnitude
of the crime. Had Philip Trevanna
died, he would have accepted his
terrible situation with sullen apathy,
looking upon it as a fit reward for
taking the life of a fellow-man. but
seeing that his friend was recovering,
shat the crime was unprecedented.
and that Irevanna had provoked him
beyond all powers OF endurance. it

to pass IN indefinite period in a
constant state of torture.
This unpleasant state Of things was
not rendered any more bearable by
The presence Of Dentham, who.
Adrian knew, kept a constant
watch upon his every &C.
ton. What the man suspected he
could not tell. but that he was sus-
picious OF the life led by DR.. Michael
Roversmire was certain. as Adrian
felt rather than saw the stealthy
glances with which he watched his
goings out and comings in, gettings
up and layings down. This in itself
was enough to irritate a sensitive
mind. but added to the appalling tor
lures the unhappy young man was con-
stantly feeling, it drove him nearly 10
the verge of distraction, and he longed
for something to happen which would
give him, ii not a release, at least a
change Of life. At last an event hap
pened which caused Adrian to make
up his mind to leave his seclusio
and which caused considerable anxiety
to the in 4uiring mind of Mr.. Dent
ham.
One day about two weeks after the
Transformation had taken place

and the Robinsons are arch enemies
and that anything the Robinsons, or
any one of the Robinsons, might have
done or neglected to do was not to be
laid at the door Of the Schadts or any
one Of the Schadts. The fact that the
city solicitorship fight was and still is
great bugbear to the active men of
the party, lends color to this latter
solution.
But be that as IL may, Controller
Robinson Is an out and out candidate
for sheriff and says there will be some
surprised people when the convention
is over.
The primaries Saturday were not
what could be called lively. There
were one or two hot contests. particu-
larly in Archibald and in the Four
teenth ward, in which latter place
there were two caucusses, but the alb
sence of any fight, as far as was known
at the time, for the moneyed offices
left little to be desired about an cleo
tion as delegate, and the consequence
was that the men put up by the slate
went through without much opposition.

The average printer would prefer to

than account Of q cooking lecture.
Women make such an unnecessary
fuss if things that they do not
turn out as the recipe promises
and are apt to blame the re-
suits on the newspaper and then
frequently the cooking person makes
such absurd statements that q con-
siderable strain of mind is forced
upon those concerned in presenting
the directions of making things to eat
to the public through the medium of
a newspaper. One of Mis- Vernon's
recipes for ices probably has had n
