limp and inert; his eyes half closed;

The reporter himself felt sick and
faint. But, with a mighty effort, he
succeeded in raising his friend in his

speaking-tube. There, of a sudden, his
strength failed him. His head swan;
his muscles relaxed: he felt Sprague's
limp form slip from his grasp, tottered,

The words were spoken in Muir

sent cold SILVER down her spine, and
caused her pity to go out to the I'M
fortunate young man who had Offend

FATHER AND DAUGHTER.

After Sprague had left her, Agnes,
shaken by the conflicting emotions of
the day, had gone to her room to rest
and to prepare for the interview
which she meant to have with her
father on the subject of her lover
and of Chatham.
Having received word that Murdoch
would remain in his study during the
rest of the afternoon, she had taken
time to reflect upon what she meant
to say, and how she meant to say it.
Her visit was not prompted by the
desire of u daughter to confide the
great happiness of her life to the low
ing sympathy of an affectionate par
ent; but Agnes was punctilious in the
performance of what she considered
to be her duties, great and small, and
she counted it among those duties to
obtain, or at any rate to seek, the pa
ternal sanction of her choice of y
husband.
Her knock at the door of MurdocL's
study was answered in the chemists
quiet voice:
"Come in"

CHAPTER XIII.
THE SPEAKING TUBE.


Nature has implanted in every one
of it's living creatures, from the
top to the bottom of the scale,
the strongest of all instincts =
that of self-preservation. AS Sturgis
fell forward and clutched wildly at the
air, his hand struck. the stone wall of
the square chamber. No conscious inn
preston was made upon his brain by
the contact; but, automatically, his
fingers frightened as they Slipped over
the smooth surface. His right hand
struck an obstacle and closed upon it,
in the convulsive grip of u dying man.
Then Il sudden CLEAN of consciousness
swept across his sluggish brain.
1t was the spealling-tube!
He chung to it with the remnant of
his strength and eagerly placed his
lips to the mouthpiece. Fora few min
utes he drank in with avidity the re-
vivifying draughts of air which grad
ually brought him back from the brink
of death.
With returning consciousness, the
thought of his dying friend REQUIRED to
him in all it's vividness. He tried to
go to his assistance; but he was sick
and faint, and his limbswere powerless
to respond to his will. Then, at last,
he was seized with utter despair and
gave up the struggle.
He had sunk dejectedly upon the
chair when faint and indistinct muir
mur, as of distant voices, beat upon his
ears. whose natural acuity seemed ex-
traordinarily increased by the long
nervous tension under which he had
been. The ruling passion is strong in
death; without knowing just why he
did so, Sturgis found himself again at
the speaking-tube, endeavoring to hear
the conversation. the sound of which
evidently came from Murdock's Office.
He could barely distinguish word
here and there; but he recognized the
timber of one of the voices. 1t was the
chemists, and his interlocutor was a
perhaps his daughter. Ifonly
he could reach Agnes Murdoch with
some word or signal.
In suspense. he held his err to the
mouthpiece. occasionally taking a
breath of fresh air to renew his
strength.
Should he take the chances ard shout
in the hope of catching the young
girls attention? If he whistletl, MUIR
dock wcdld answer himself, and the
last chance would be lost. But would
she hear shout? And. if she did, would
not her father prevent her from render
ing any assistance? Yet what other
chance was there? Poor Sprague was
dying; perhaps already dead. There
was no time to lose.

We live in the United States and at
the close of the nineteenth century.
The selection of {; husband is no long

self. That is certainly my way of
looking at the matter. When you
find the man of your choice, my only
function will be to give you advice,
if you seek it. and my best assistance
in any event."
The turn of the conversation thus
suddenly brought to the surface the
topic which occupied the young girls
mind, to the exclusion of all others;
and which, for that very reason, had
been kept severely in the background
up to that point. +.
"That reminds me-" said Agnes,
consciously, as charming flush suf-
fused her beautiful face, 'that I have
not yet broached the principal object
of this interview"
Murdoch observed her closely and
waited for her to proceed. But Agnes
was once more laboring under
strange embarrassment and could not
find words in which to frnme the con-
fdence she was so reluctant to offer.
Perhaps the chemist OWNED some
thing of the nature of what she was
struggling to find expression for. At
any rate, he noticed her embarrass-
ment and endeavored to come to her
assistance with few encouraging
words, spoken with unusual gentle
ness. Agnes, engrossed with her own
thoughts, did not notice it; but there
was in his manner as near an ap-
proach to tender usefulness as his
nature was capable of.
At last the young girl seemed to
gather courage, and she was about to
speak, when there was knock upon
the door.

SWELL, Mary, You see he has gone,

dock quietly. Take the gentlemen
into the parlor, and tell them J. shall
be with them in a minute"
GAIL right, SUR
After the maid had left the room,
the chemist rose from his chair and
walked toward the door leading to the
library.
"If you will excuse me for Il few
minutes, Agnes. shall see what these
men want. Wait for me here. if you
will. l shall be back directly"
So saying, he noisclessly opened the
folding doors and passed into the Ii
brary. closing the doors carefully be-
hind him.
Freed from the presence of her IA
ther, Agnes almost instantly regained
her composure. She had not, how
ever, had much time to- collect her
thoughts, when she was suddenly start
led by loud, shrill whistle, which
brought her to her feet in alarm.
"Well?'
She asked the question in anxious
tones, as if-realizing that life and
death were in the balance. Then she
placed her ear to the mouthpiece.
AT first she could not make out the
words spoken by her invisible in.
terlocutor. Then. gradually, they fell
upon her ear with terrible distinct
ness; and she stood spellbound, as in
u horrible nightmare, with sudden ter
ror i'll her staring eyes, and with the
fearful sense of impotence in her trem-
bling limbs.
