photograph of Andrews widow ~

a photograph of Andrews widow?'
Yes, doctor, l do. have no recollec-
ton of ever having seen a photograph Of
Elinor-npt even in the home of Andrew.
1t seems strange, too, particularly as she
is very handsome woman
'NThat is it," said the DOCTOR Zone
would naturally suppose she would have
had dozen in her album, and in as many
different poses; certainly that your family
would have several"
"Not one" Amos said thoughtfully.
"Well, I had already expended some
thing like twelve hundred dollars on the
case, and as everything seemed to be NOV
ing smoothly in Stephens family, con-
Guided that we would suspend further
operations for a while"
Twelve hundred dollars! But why,
doctor, did you not call on me for funds!
You should not have expended dollar in
the matter"
Feeling as you did them" was the ply
sician's answer, ''you would not have
cared to take any part in the matter. l
felt it duty. 1 believed murder would
follow the advent Of that woman into
your brothers family"
"And Eow?'
81 propose to take Sellars with me to
Chicago. He may be able to take up the
broken threads of over two years ago and
ascertain more of the past life of Elinor
Kellogg, if he accomplishes nothing else.
1t may be necessary, furthermore, to
have him within reach"
Scan you go, Mr.. Sel1ars?" asked
Amos.
'Oh, yes, I will CO. And while there,
may be able to work for that reward
offered by the express company"
81 hope you will win it, said Mr.. Kel-
logg
1--WE will leave you now" the doctor
said, rising from his chair. ''Be sure and
write and mail that letter tonight. Mr..
Sellars and myself will take the II a. m.
train tomorrow. We shall arrive in
Chicago but few hours after Stephen
has received the letter. will call in the
morning for the letter of introduction.
State in it that I was called to Chicago
on business and will accompany his
daughters to your home. Come, Sellars.
Good night, Amos"
doctor, 1 will give you check for the
expenses of this trip. Wait"
cit is unnecessary. The expense is a
matter for after consideration. If am
right in my conclusions, the Chicago
banker will be glad to defray all bills.
If am not, l am willing to stand the
loss"
''But l insist"
ooh, well, we will talk about that in
the morning. However it turns out, L
shall never become reconciled toAndrew
K.ellogg's death. Half tie time feel
like a criminal"
Il shall see you before you take the
train, Mr.. Sellars?'
Eyes, l will call during the morning. l
think you have received letters from Eli
nor Kellogg"
Certainly"
81 would like one of them, or some part
of it. 1t may be of no use to me, but
there have been times when sample
of handwriting has helped me greatly.
Good night
After his visitors had departed, Amos
wrote the desired letter to his brother,
which he sent at once to be mailed.
He next wrote the letter of introduc-
ton which the physician was to take
with him. Then, taking his check book
from the desk, he filed out check paya-
Bile to Sellars for two hundred dollars.
at will never do for DR.. Strong to be
bearing all these expenses, he remark
ed. ''He feels so culpable over the death
of Andrew that he would expend his last
dollar to unmask Elinor if she is guilty.
A few minutes later. when Mr.. kellogg
Joined the other members of his family,
he informed them that he had written his
brother inviting his nieces to visit them
as soon as possible, and that, If jeanette
! was equal to the journey, they might
| look for them in the near future.
ooh, papa" said Agnes. the elder
daughter, 81 am so glad! If jeanette can
! only come, we will take the best of care
Of her."
Amos bent and kissed the glowing
| cheek of his daughter, remarking:
| eff she is not here within ten days,
! my child, l fear you will never see her .
| sWhat is her ailment, husband! ask
ed his wife.
Gastric Inflammation Of the stomach
! her physician pronoEnces it"
| "Why, the same malady that killed poor
Andrew
"The same, the very same"' said Amos,
as he shaded his eyes with the. evening
paper.
