day. And, besides, this work could not
be postponed"
"Oh, pshaw! That is what nine out
of every ten patients say to their physi-
clan. They are modestly convinced
that the world must needs come to a
standstill if they cannot accomplish
their tiny mite of work"
DR.. Thurston, who had assumed his
frown of professional severity, pro-
ceeded to feel the reporters pulse.
"Well, you are in luck; better than
you deserve. Almost any other man
would have been laid up for week by
the experience you have been through.

"We chased him in from the other

The policeman hurried down the
stairs.
Murdock's valise and package stood
conspicuous upon the long pine box
But of Murdock there was no sign.
"Gone!" exclaimed one of the detec-
tives, deeply mortified at the thought
that his quarry had slipped through
his fingers. "Gone! How? Where?
He cannot have escaped. He cannot
What is it, Mr.. Sturgis?"
He had suddenly caught sight of the
reporter, half way up the stairs.
Weak and i'll, Sturgis, with blanched
face, clung unsteadily, with one hand,
to the railing; while, with the other,
he pointed toward the lead-lined vat,
whose dark viscous contents were
bubbling like boiling oil.
A pungent vapor rose in dense clouds
from the surface of the liquid. Through
it the fascinated gaze of the Mortified
men vaguely discerned n nameless
thing, tossed in weird and grotesque
contortions in seething vortex.
Murdock had escaped the justice of
men.

ments He saw the chemist open the
safe which stood near his table and
take from it numerous bundles of
banknotes, which he carefully packed
into a valise; he saw him take from
the same safe few richly bound
notebooks, which he proceeded to do
up in a neat bundle, securely tied and
sealed.
This done, the chemist put on his
hat and coat, and was preparing to
pass out into the hallway, when a
knock sounded upon the door.
Murdoch opened slightly-enough
to show himself, without revealing
the presence of the other occupants
of the room.
1t was one of the housemaids.
"Plaze, sur" said the girl, in a
frightened voice, "the polacemun says
he can't wait no longer; he must see
yer right away"
"Are they in the parlor?"
"Only the polacemun, sur; the other
man said he would wait outside"
Murdoch took minute for ref1ec-
ton.
'Wait in the hall until 7 call you"
he said, at last. 'If the policeman be-
comes impatient, tell him | shall not
be long; that | am engaged on most
important business"
No sooner had the girl gone than
| Murdoch, selling the valise and the
package, opened the door of the eX-
tension. His eyes rested for awhile
upon his daughter who, still absorbed
| in the tender care of her inanimata
| lover, was oblivious of all else. There
was in them an unusual expression
almost tender light; but the inn
passive face was otherwise emotion
| less.
The chemist seemed to hesitate for
a brief instant whether to speak;
then, passing out into the extension,
he softly closed the door behind him.
Sturgis alone, weak and powerless,
had seen him go.

And here you have the face to recover
without the assistance of the medical
profession, and in spite of your insolent
disregard of my express orders to leave
work alone for the present. Now, there
is Sprague-"
"Ah, what of Sprague?" asked the
reporter, anXiously.
"Sprague has had close call. But
he is safe now. If tender and intelli-
gent nursing count for anything, he
will probably be up in day or two"
Miss Murdock-"

"Yes. Her first act on learning of her

that it cannot be published"
why cannot it be published?"
"It would be dangerous to the well

Perhaps Burns famous line might be
made to read:. "a dogs a dog for a
that" But of all dogs, thoroughbred
or mongrel, a shaggy poodle would
seem to be about the poorest kind of
dog for defense. Yet missionary,
whose experience has been among the
savages and cannibals of Africa, says
that his little poodle, Sally. was one of
his best protectors, says Youths Com
panion. One of her exploits consisted
in putting to flight band of hostile
natives. The missionary was travelling
some distance in advance of his cara
van, accompanied only by his boy-serv-
ant and Sally. When he came to the
top of a hill, large body of Burungi
warriors in full war-paint were sud
denly seen racing toward them. Call
ing Sally to him, the missionary whis-
pered in her ear something about go
ing for them" Then was witnessed the
scene of small, shaggy dog with a
very big bark, tail in the air, charging
at company of armed men. "It was a
great sight" says the traveller, worth
going to Africa for to see those war
like men running for their lives. with
little Sally at their heels, barking as if
she knew, brave little dog. that she
was making a big bluff, and it all de-
pended on the noise she could make.

after western models. She was mar
ried to Mr.. Takahira in 1887, shortly
after her education was finished, and
since then has been with HIM upon
all of his diplomatic missions. This,
therefore, is not Nine. Takahira's first
visit to the United States, since her
husband served as consul general in
New York in 1891. From this posi-
tion Mr.. Takahira was promoted to
the ministership at The Hague, whith-
er Nine. Takahira accompanied him,
and later on she went with him to
Rome and to Vienna, at both of which
capitals he represented his govern

hold.
Nine. Takahira, says the New York
Tribune, is fine looking woman, even
from the occidental point of view,
which differs so materially regarding
the beauty of women from that of the
orient. Her complexion has the tinge
and softness for which japanese wom-
en- are famous, her eyes are large and
expressive, and her wealth of glossy
black hair is worn in the prevailing
style, brushed back from a pretty
brow. But the most att: active feature
Nine. Tskahira possesses is the viva
cious expression and the quick respon-
siveness one notes in her face when
she is conversing.
Not since the days of Mr.. Yoshida
have the women of the Japanese le-
CATION retained their native costume,
which is rapidly going out of fashion
in Japan among the higher classes,
and, like her predecessors, the wife Of
the new minister has adopted Euro
pean dress; but, unlike many of her
sisters, her clothes are in exquisite
taste and her jewels are beautiful. It
is doubtful, indeed, IL any woman in
the diplomatic corps possesses more
gorgeous gems. Nine. Takahira has
three children, who are in Japan, and
will not at present join their parents.

Ambassador Iwakura with the advan.

statesmen, and no nation with which

you, Thurston," continued

81 tell you Thurston," continued
enthusiastic conviction, "this man
was the originator of almost every
unsolved mystery which has non
plussed the police during the last Is
years. He had his agents in every i'm
portant center throughout the coun-
try; agents working under potent in
centiyes, and yet working i'll the dark,
for few of them have ever known who
held the mysterious power which di-
Eected their every move. Murder has
been done wholesale; and so quietly
and mysteriously has the work been
accomplished that, in all but this last
case, the detectives have found no
clue whatever which might lead 70

accountable disappearance of wealthy
men, whose bodies, shipped to the
Manhattan Chemical company by
Murdoclls agents, were quietly aud
Systematically made away with in the

"He was the fiend incarnate!" ex-
claimed the physician.
WELL" said Sturgis, after a mo-
ment of thoughtful silence, "at any
rate, he was not wantonly cruel. lie
was heartless; he was pitiless; but
his cruelty was always means to au
end. however selfish and illegitimate
that end might be. His cruelty is
that, in measure, of every human
being destroying life that he may live
and trampling upon his fellow men
that he may be comfortable. Be-
tween Murdocll and the rest of us there
was a difference of degree certainly,
but was there a difference of kind ?"
"There is one thing which l can
not yet understand" said Thurston,
'and that is, why Murdocll should
have pushed his audacity to the point
of defying you to ferret out the mys-
terry of this crime when he might
perhaps have avoided all risk of de-
lection by holding his tongue"
mo man is perfect" answered
Sturgis, sententiously, mot even an
| accomplished villain like Murdock,
fortunately for the rest of mankind.
Every human being has his weak

| ity and his love for his daughter.
They were the only traits which con
nected him with the human family.
To them he owes his undoing."

THE OLD APPLE TREE.

To-day I crossed the meadows
That lie beyond the town,
And meath a gnarled old apple tree
To rest l laid me down.
Its branches stirred above me,
A breeze swept to and fro,
And high among the apple buds
The bees were humming slow.
A squirrel came to watch me.
A bird sang from the hill,
And all about the open fields
The sun lay warm and still.
thought of how. in childhood.
Like dream it seemed to me,
We two had told our childish love
Beneath that apple tree.
The apple buds seem much the same
AS pure and sweet and cold,
But time has changed the apple tree,
And it and | are old.
My life is like the apple tree.
Grown harsh and rough and strange
But love is like the bursting buds
They never seem to change.
