A week passed. DIR. Lampkin had not
seen Hendricks since the day following
the discovery Of the crime. Lampkin,
however, had watched the papers and
knew that nothing of vital interest con
corning the mystery had been made
public. He believed that his friend was
still cropping in the dark, else he would
have come to him to let off some of his
enthusiasm. Hendricks always came
just before a climax or when one was
about to be reached.
Dr. Lampkin was very busy man
on the days of the week that it was pos
sible for patients to consult him. He had
never allowed his profession to encroach
upon has freedom, and so sign on his
door read as follows: 'Dr. Lampkin
may be consulted Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays Office hours, 0 a. m. to 2
p. IN.
His fame for curing nervous and i'm
aginary ailments, drunkenness and the
morphine habit through hypnotic sug-
gestion had spread all over America,
and he was often SO busy that he had to
have three or four assistants Today his
anteroom was full of people waiting
their turns, and Lampkin was admit

told me-" answered the girl.

anyway" Ralph said. ~ could not
consent to allow you to remain unless
you knew it."

He sat down by her and took her
hand in his.
II saw your uncle drive up, and !
knew what he came for,'' said he,
"and if you had deserted me / should
have given up. ! could stand a good
deal, but to lose you now, in addition
to all the rest, would be more than
could bear. Really, l am in earnest. F"
Miss Hastings covered her face with
her hands and heaved a deep sigh. She
was thinking of the words she had
overheard just moment before. She
wanted to ask him if he were not keep
ing back SON ething from her, but such
question would imply lack of faith
in him, and she remained silent. Steps
were heard in the hall Some men car
rying large bouquets and wreaths of
flowers were reflected in the pier glass
as they passed to the drawing room to
lay them on the coffin. Ralph followed
her glance to the mirror
"Poor old manp' he said. 81 have
not yet realized that he is really dead
Sister acts as if she did not either. We
shall miss the dear old governor in
spite of all the rows"
The power of articulation seemed to
have left Miss Hastings She tried to
speak. She attributed the failure to her
mental condition.
"Poor Aunt Marthap' sighed Ralph,
releasing her hand. "It will kill her,
I'm afraid. If you only knew her, you d
understand. She is peculiar, but she
has been mother to sister and me and
hes already suffered too much"
"Does she know?" asked Miss Has
tings, finding her voice at last. HAS
she heard?'
''Not yet, replied Ralph. II tele-
graphed DR.. Gibson at the sanitarium
to keep the papers from her. hope he
will be cautious. 1t is on her account
that we are so particular, but'-he re.
hected moment-''I forgot you don't

"All families have them," observed
the girl wonderingly.

done away with by plentiful use of
common sense. and sister and are do

and as Miss Hastings drew near she
recognized Ralphs voice. He was

"Hushl Somebody will hear you, !"
cautioned Alice, and the door was sud-
denly closed. Miss Hastings retreated,
white and quivering, to the library and
sat down again. She covered her face
with her hands and tried to reflect. No;
she would never entertain that thought.
Ralph Benton was her ideal, her con-
ception of all that was manly and noble
in man. 1t might seem to others that
he was guilty, but she would never be-
lieve it. And yet how strangely he had
acted when he came down from his
room just before the body had been
foundl And then the words which she
had just verheard-what could he have
meant?
Miss Hastings happened to glance in
to large pier glass which reflected
part of the hall in the direction of Alice
Benton's loom and saw Ralph ap-
preaching. 1t was the first time she
had caught his face in repose since the
murder, and the sight of it shocked her
inexpressibly. He was white and hag-
gard, and his eyes were beginning to
be bloodshot
He came into the library, started
slightly on seeing her and then ad-
vanced, with smile.

clerk that the detective was in his room
and had left orders for him to come up
at once.
The room was at tho head of the first
fight of stairs. Lampkin raped.
''Come in!' The doctor started, for
the words seemed to come from the
crack beneath the door. Lampkin turned
the knob and pushed. The door opened
about six inches, struck something
and stopped. It was the head of the de-
tective, for when Lampkin had looked

That is the way with the dread enemy Of
mankind--consumptio II has web-the
web of trivial disorders neglected. When a
man heedlessly stumbles into that web, con-

blood, then his lungs, then every organ in
his body. Many doctors assert that when a
man is once in this deadly web there is no
escape. That is a mistake. Thousands

locked the door, he sprang up, took hold
