He turned, locked the door and van

"The woman in 2s," he said TO the
clerk, "has escaped from an asylum.

airy behind the desk
CHAPTER V.
Facing the sun on the same morn
ing which broke through the length
ened slumbers of Louise in the Rich
mond hotel, an old man sat in an in
valid chair. Everything that wealth
could provide for his comfort, every
thing demanded by convention, sur
rounded him. No one would ever say,
looking in upon the appointments of
his house, that the sick man lacked
anything that loving sympathy and
tender solicitude could suggest. The
deep velvet carpet gave back no sound
under the feet of those who moved
around him; curtains of damask and
lace softeued the too direct rays of
light which entered the long windows
across the balcony; bits of landscape
and color relieved the wide expause
OF wall; and flowers lent freshness
and fragrance to the soft spring alp
sparingly admitted
The old man was haggard from
loss of rest and from apprehension.
His once florid face was pallid and
the checks sunken. His eyes shone
with an unnatural brilliancy. One
need not have been skilled physi-
clan to have detected the fact that
deaths seal was upon that pale face
and shrunken frame. The tiny spark
of life might glimmer in its socket
for days, weeks, even months; it
would never again send up a clear and
steady blaze.
Within the same room several peo-
pie had gathered, controlled by varied
sentiments. DIR. Brodnar was there,
his massive frame bent above the
sick man, his eyes everywhere. Pulse,
respiration, temperature, were pa
tiently ascertained, and with unsat-
isfactory results, evidently, for the
doctors face was a tell-tale. Once
or twice his eyes rested upon tall
woman in black who moved slowly
about the invalid, touching his hands
and forehead, admonishing him gen
tly, and keeping watch upon tho
physicians actions with singular in
tentness.
This woman was OF marked per
sonality. Her fron-gray hair was
brushed back smoothly from broad,
low forehead, her black eyes were
well sunk under dark brows and
lashes, but flashed indolently from
time to time when she was speak

ing. The small, straight, relentless
mouth and aquiline nose gave a note
of severity to her face. Her charm,
1t is likely, had existed in the con-
tour and coloring of that face, and
in a certain easy self-reliance, or
consciousness of power. Just now her
face was inscrutably placid. She
spoke only in tones so low as to be
audible but short distance.
Across the room girl stood looking
idly, dreamily, from q easement win,
dow into the trees. She was slender,
with mass Of reddish, golden curls
gathered back and fallen over her
shoulders. The profile revealed birth
and refinement, and suggested nobil-
ity, high purpose and innate purity.
There was a wistful tenderness about
her mouth and soft radiance in her
blue-gray eyes when from time to time
she turned towards the group gath
cred about the sick man.
II am at loss, madam" the doctor
was saying, ito account for his lack
OF improvement. There seems to be
nothing organically wrong, and yet
the nerve centers are totally inactive" ="
He picked up several medicine bottles
and examined them, testing their con-
tents by smell and sight. The tall
woman's eyes met his.
'Hepassed a restless night" she said,
laying her hands upon the sick mans
forehead. There was considerable
confusion in the city, and some one
just before daylight fired pistol near
the house. This gave him a fearful
shock"
There Is much excitement in Rich
mond over the secession movement"
said Brodnar, "and the police are far
too few for these times. What have
you given him during the nightq"
81 want my daughter to be present."
said the sick man, fretfully; 81 want
her TO hear the will read before sign
1t, doctor"
II am here, papa" said the girl, COM
ing slowly forward and standing quiet
ly near him. He looked into her face
long and intently, his own softening.
II would suggest" said the doctor,
rising and addressing the elder wom-
an, that we leave them alone for a
few moments; he seems trifie bright
er just now" She fixed her black eyes
upon him steadily, and slight smile
moved the hard lines of her mouth.
