Unconsciously Agnes had chung to
Sprague's hand. Now, as the sense of
danger disappeared, she became
aware of what she was doing; and, in
sudden embarrassment. she with
drew her hand from his reassuring
clasp.
The artist, recalling the object of
his visit, at once became grave and
formal.
ST am sorry to intrude upon you at
this unconventional hour, Miss Muir
dock, but l found this letter in my
studio to-day. 1t was evidently
dropped by you yesterday; and,
thinking it might be important, +"
"a letter? What letter." asked
Agnes, puzzled.
Sprague held out the sealed envel-
ope. The young girl tore it open and
cast hurried glance at it's contents.
Then suddenly understanding, she
tore the paper to shreds and threw
these angrily into the fire which
burned brightly in the large open
fireplace.
"Oh, that" she exclaimed, con-
temptuously. And then after q pause:
do you mean to say you thought"
She stopped short, seized by sud
den shyness.
What else could i think?' said
Sprague, softly.
He was watching the fragments of
paper as they tiared upon the hearth.
The flame which consumed them
seemed to shed a radiant glow upon
his heart.
"Then," he added, presently, and
still more softly, "if there is nothing
between you andAand him-perhaps-
perhaps may hope-Niss Murdoch
Agnes"
His hand sought hers and found it.
But the reaction had come at last,
and the brave girl who had been able
to control herself In the presence Of
threatening mailman now gave way
to fit of hysterical weeping.
Sprague, not being u medical man,
could hardly have known what rene
dies to employ in an emergency of this
kind. All he did was to whisper sooth-
ing words in the Young girls ear and
to kiss the tears from her eyes. But
apparently that was enough. Evident
ly for layman he must have possessed
considerable medical intuition; for,
after sobbing awhile upon his shout
der, Agnes quoted down gradually and
remained contentedly nesting in his
arms, while the artist, doubtless fear
full of relapse, continued. for per-
haps an unnecessarily long time. to ply
the treatment whose effect had pro-
duced upon his patient SO marked, so
rapid, and SO satisfactory result.
The attention of the medical profess
sion is respectfully called to treat

possibly possess specific virtues.

In the drawing-room, her shapely fin
gers wandering dreamily over the keys,

Your butler is not at fault In this

way, and before either Of the women
could recover from her surprise, q
fashily dressed young man with in.
tensely red hair entered the room. He
carried his left arm in sling. His
face was pale; his eyes glittered with
a feverish light; his voice Quivered
with repressed excitement.

Taw&ep, Hllo w4sfsett 10 consult Nm
about some important matters. The
entire morning was thus consumed in
necessary but tedious business, and it
was not until after luncheon that the
artist was at last free to set to work.
Uncovering the portrait, he stood off
to examine 1t. AS he did so, something
white upon the floor caught his eye.
He stopped to pick it up. 1t was u let
ter in beautifully regular masculine
hand. Mechanically he turned it over
and unfolded it. His eyes carelessly
swept the written page; then in flash
he realized what it was, and he flung it
violently from him.
Only few words had left their inn
press upon his retina-a few scattered
words and signature. But these were
branded deep upon his brain for all
time, in letters of fire which burned
their way to his very soul. For he had
recognized the letter which had been
delivered by the messenger to Miss
Murdoch the day before, and he had
seen enough to know that it was
couched in words of passionate love. In
that instant was quenched the-la ray
OF hope which had lurked within his
heart. Overwhelmed with sense Of
utter desolation, he sank back upon n
divan, and for long time remained
lost in bitter reflections.
But Sprague, in spite OF his diet
tanteism. was man of grit when oc-
casion called for it. Summoning at
length his fortitude and his pride, he
proceeded to carry out what he con-
ceiyed to be the duty of gentleman un-
der the circumstances.
Picking up the letter again, he placed
it unread in an envelope, into which
he slipped his card, with brief ex-
PLANTATION of the finding of the paper.
Then, after addressing the envelope, he
started out to mail it himself.
"Thomas Chathaml" he unused, as he
went down the stairs; "Thomas Chat
ham! Why, he is the man who took
such pains to inform me that Miss MUIR
dock was betrothed, or on the point Of
being betrothed--the fashily dressed
young man with red hair who is SO
regular an attendant at the Murdocks'
informal receptions, and who never
seems to be invited on state occasions;
IN insignificant and conceited puppy.
Poor girl, what pity that she should
throw herself away upon such man.
But, if he marries her, he shall make
her happy, or else
The balance of his thought was not
put into words; but his face became set
in stern lines and his hands clenched in
grim determination.
Sprague, with the letter for Miss
Murdoch in his hand, hurried to the
nearest letter box, raised the lid of the
drop, inserted the letter in the slot and
then frightened his grasp of it and be-
gan to think.
The letter, II mailed, might perhaps
not reach Its Destination until the fol-
lowing morning. 1t might be of impor-
tanca. since II had heea scat kS net
seager and TO The stadio instead OF ID
Miss Murdock's house. Besides, Miss
Murdoch would probably be worried
when she discovered that she had lost
it. It ought therefore to be returned
to her at once.
The letter, by this time, had been
withdrawn from the slot OF the letter
box.
Yes, it ought to be returned by mes
senger instead of by mail. By messen-

ger? 1t was about half mile to the
nearest district messenger Office. The
Murdocks' house was not much further.
Why not deliver the letter himself?
Why not, indeed? The human heart
has unfathomable depths. Why should
hopeless lover pine for mere sight
of the woman whose presence only adds
to his misery? Explain that who can.
Sprague carefully placed the letter
in his breast pocket and started off
again, this time directing his steps
toward the Murdocks' home.
