She rejoiced that they could go back
together and finish the frolic of the
night, as she said, just as Cook later
confounded her by quoting: "If I'd
known this, it's the two horse rig we'd
have fetched wild us, Mike. It's them
that drew the best load that was ever
rolled away from this post" She was
for loading up another tray. She excit-

"Ndthaiie, that aUomd1l has told another
lie," exclaimed Mrs. Barry

was discovered, in case she had to skip.
But Mike said they had all they could

ing. And SO Mike lighted his cigar and
hurled away the match, and the pre-
cious pair went forth into the night,
leaving Maynard to plan what should
be their reception on their return. The
entire visit occupied not more than 10
or Is minutes. By a quarter past /
Maynard was back in his room, trem-
bling Il bit with excitement and joy,
and, reseating himself at his desk, he
was making memorandum Of Bridget's
words and the strangers appearance
when startled by Mary's awful cry on
the lower floor of the house adjoining.
Maynard's discoveries had been sup
plemented by those of Cook. The bur
glars had been admitted into the house
doubtless by Bridget and by way Of the
kitchen. The window was left open,
and the latch had been snapped off to
give the other impression, but Cook S
keen eyes had detected the fraud. No
chisel. no implement, had been inserted
from without, for the cotton stuffing
showed no signs of it whatever, as it
infallibly would have done had the win
dow been forced.
Bridget had unquestionably brought
about the heavy, stupo1like sleep Of her
mistress When Mary came that even
ing for the glass of fresh spring water
which Mrs. Barry always had at her
bedside, as we'll as to renew the water
in which her medicines were dissolved,
Bridget, as she we'll remembered, had
the pitcher ready. 1t was easy for the
latter to have slipped in one OF the
glasses a tablet or two of colorless NOR
phia. Its family bitter taste was neu-
tralized by that of the medicine itself
but that could not destroy the effect
Indeed, among the unconsumed effects
at the bottom of one of Bridget's sara
togas was found little vial containing
some half dozen cubelike tablets
which DR.. Pease promptly declared to
be morphia.

Slowly Mrs. Barry opened the care
fully written pages. Every word and
line seemed eloquent of the pain and
difficulty with which it was penned,
but there was no hating, no stumbling,
no hesitating, in what he had to say. A
more outspoken, manly, straightforward
appeal Mrs Barry had never read:

pointment to me that could not see you ana

Twice did Mrs. Barry read this over,

beautiful bowed head. Then, laying the
letter on the dressing table, she bent
low over the little pink ear that peeped
through the ripping strands of bright
golden hair.

been compelled to leave their favorite
fields of operation in the distant east

RELIEF FROM CARE.
People With Troubles Can Join 7. F.
Stewards Don't Worry Circles"

New York, Jan. 6.-Worry and dull
if the plan proposed by Theodore F
Seward, a near relative of the late sec
rotary of state, William H. Seward
which was put recently into practical
operation on a, small scale in this city
reaches his highest anticipations. II
your hancee doesn't write; if your best
girl says the word you don't want tC
hear; if your landlord sets your be-
lOngings in the street, don't get silly
and think of suicide or NOPE about
with head hung down, but just join
one of the Don't Worry Circles which
ever one is nearest at the moment, and
forget all your troubles.
Though he started the movement on
" q few weeks ago, there are already
five of these sympathetic organiza-
tions, formed exclusively of those who
nave troubles of their own.
Mr.. Seward was seen about the
movement today and said that it was
is based on common sense and Chris
tian Science combined.
There are currents of thought as
we'll as currents of electricity" he says,
land these thought currents directed
against worry in ourselves and others
are bound to have an effect which can
not be resisted"
Mr. Seward explained that at the
Don't Worry Circles the members
talk over the various things that might
worry them and form a determination
not to worry. AS there is force in
mum bers, when so persons all join to-
gether in a fixed purpose not to worry,
then worry is pretty sure to fly away.
