tions. With Sturgis' assistance he
managed to place his lips to the
mouth-piecc of the speaking-tube. A
few whiffs of comparatively fresh air
sent the sluggish blood coursing
through his veins and gave him new
hold on life. With renewed vigor
came the animal instinct to fight to
the last for existence.

catch the staggering man in his

After short interval there came q

The reporter himself felt sick and
succeeded in raising his friend in his
arms, and dragging him toward the
speaking-tube. There. of sudden, his
strength failed him. His head swan;
his muscles relaxed; he felt Sprague's

FATHER AND DAUGHTER.

shaken by the conflicting emotions of
the day, had gone to her room to rest
and to prepare for the interview
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 il.
Her visit was not prompted by the
desire of daughter to confidc 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
tcrnal sanction of her choice of Il
husband

study was answered in the chemist )
quiet voice:
Come in"
AS she opened the door, Murdoch
advanced to meet her. He seemed 10
come from the direction of the ev-
tension.
Miss Murdoch shifted the air.

quired.
Yes" replied Murdoch: 81 hav.

upon her; and, in spite of her prep

Did Mr.. Chatham wait 10 see you
this afternoon" she asked, after a
momcntary silence.
Murdoch observed her narrowly.
YES; Chatham has been here to-
day. did not know that you had

II could not help seeing him; for

An almost imperceptible furrow APP

HAS he been annoying you with
his attentions?"
The words were spoken in MUIR
docks usual tones; but Agnes saw
something in her fathers eyes and
in the firm lines OF his mouth which
sent a cold SILVER down her spine. and
caused her pity TO go out to the I'M
fortunate young man who had offend

Perhaps he is more to be pitied
than blamed" she suggested gently.

Tell me about it," said Murdoch,
slowly.
Agnes gave her version of the visit.
in which, instinctively she softened.
as much as possible, the passion and
brutality displayed by the account

Murdoch listened in silence until
she had quite finished. Then Agnes
noticed that his right hand was
clcnched upon the arm of his chair
with a force which caused the mus
cles TO stand out in hard knots. She
looked up into his face in sudden sur
prise.
His features gave no indication Of
what his feelings might be; and h,s
