Whether bimetallism was right or
wrong: whether a fixed or arbitrary
ratio was a necessary essential to the
legitimate solution of the question,
have become matters of absolute in

arraigned the administration now In

Tie was talkative and lively to de-
gree. forming the lif'- OF the party. but
the eyes that so attracted seldom took
notice of me. An uncomfortable desire
to have them conferred on me for an in
slant to fathom their meaning seized
me. To accomplish this l spilled some
of the salad dressing on his coat sleeve
He turned a wrathful look at me, and
1 had one long, steady gaze into those
eyes. So intent was that forgot to
be confused at my mishap. The Incl
dent occupied only a minute, but IN
that short space / had read the char
acter of the man.
What sort Of servants do you have
here, Charles?' he broke out savagely
when the dressing filtered down from
his coat sleeve to the floor.
My master looked annoyed and quick
~ apologized.
HE is a new man, doctor, and you
must overlook this accident"
The conversation flowed on freely
after that and the mishap was soon
forgotten.
When the wine and cigars were
brought, they retired to an open bal
cony just of the dining room. Through
the open window I could still hear
their talk. Most of 1t was of little
consequence TO me, but finally the
words of the doctor made me prick up
my ears.
by the way, Charles, you spoke OF a
friend OF yours having a couple OF
Dane hounds for sale. Can / secure

want two more? You have two of the

master md Miss Stetson.
"No; they are both dead" replied the
doctor slowly.
"why. how is that7 What killed

"They simply died. My man over
fed them, imagine, and they both
died yesterday of commissions"
"How stranger

man that he would kill them If he fed

ercise."
"You don't think he poisoned them r.

! Then he made arrangements with my
master to secure the two hounds from

/ did not listen TO the descriptions of
the new hounds or 20 the terms OF the
agreement. My mind was more con-
cerneI about the doctors reason FOR
concealing the attempted robbery OF
his house. Why did he lie about the
/ death OF the two Danes and why did
he not report the facts OF the case TO
the police? These were questions that
1 could not dismiss from my mind. al

effect OF an eastern scene. A red glow

greatly to the prettiness OF The room

But In the midst Of the oriental furni-
ture and bric-a-brac were many mod
ern articles, which gave an incongru-

tian mummies; n stethoscope was lying
next TO spear head that must have
been welded by some Indian prince

ments were piled promiscuously upon
