The morning sun s." 'Ngt'~nugh the
eastern window of Lu'el ON shone
full upon the face of a woman who lay
sleeping there. She was dressed as for

fell about her shoulders in cleaning,
golden masses. Even in the trying
light upon it her face was beautiful,
Perfectly oval, it possessed comhi-
nation Of dark shadings rarely found
in blonde types, and the even brows
were az delicate as though penciled
by an artist. Upon her cheeks lay long,
dark lashes. Sleeping, she seemed
scarcely more than a girl in age. the
few lines upon her face fading out Of
prominence; and yet there was wom-
anliness In her trim. settled figure that
told Of years not otherwise to be sus-
pected.
The bell of a tower clock near at

sleeper stirred uneasily, opened her
eyos, and instantly, as full conscious

PROSTATE man, and, rising hastily,
struck a match. Somers lay senseless
before him, the young woman kneel-
ing by his side staring speechlessly
upon her bloody hands. His quick
glance swept the room and rested
upon her. The match fell TO the floor
and went out, leaving the scene to
blacker darkness.
"Remorse!" he said, in a whisper,
and was still. Rallying his faculties
at length, DR.. Brodnar hurriedly lit
the gas, and with his stern features
contracted examined the fallen man
and saw a wound back of the right
temple from which the dark blood was
still oozing.
"He has shot himself" he said. A
moment he stood with covered face,
wavering in his tracks. Suddenly the
enormity of the interests at stake
flashed upon him and stupor gave way

he wiped the girls hands and forced
her into a chair.
"Stay there" he said, "and on your

before l return. Do you understand"
YES" she said, simply, and fixed her
gaze upon the window. He bound the
towel tightly about the head of the
wounded man, lifted him in his arms
as if he were q child, and passed out
into the night. A few moments later
