ing a feeble practice in new neighbor- hood. One day a lady in a thick veil called to ask my advice in regard to her mother, who, she said, was suffering from heart disease. Then she uescr.bed the symptoms which were those of person in a very critical state. They had been expecting, she said, the return of Hong absent son and brother who was a naval officer, but she had that morning received the sad intelligence of the wreck of his vessel, with the loss of all on board. Some explanation would have to be made to the mother of his continued absence. but could they tell her the truth in the state of her health?
 q replied that such a revelation at such time would probably be attended by fatal consequences. She left, declar- ing that at whatever cost she would con- ceal the truth from her mother"
 And you have never seen her since?"
 "No; l had quite forgotten the' cir cumstance."
 And would you not recognize her if you met her again?"

That she and Mrs. Springthorpe were the same 1 had not the slightest doubt, but as she evidently feared recognition had been too polite to insist upon it. Why there should be any mystery about visit to physician puzzled me.
 DO you know" I asked. eff Mrs Springthorpe is liable to any hereditary malady?"
 II really cannot say" he replied. T never knew her family"
 Are her parents dead. then?"
 Yes; she has been an orphan since childhood.
 Here I made a mental note.
 A little later I asked:
 Have you any children?'
 q have an only son by my first wife.

Had she no attendance during the night?'
 Miss Clay. the present Mrs. Spring thorpe, usually slept in the same apart ment-she was my first wife's companion but on this particular night my first wife was feeling so we'll that she dismissed her to her own room. The maid slept in the anteroom, but heard nothing"
 Had your present wife access to her during the night?'
 No. Although their room adjoined wall to wall. they were entered from dif- ferent passages. But I am sure ! am boring you by talking so much of my own affairs.'

troubled with dreams.
 I arose the next morning little the worse for my experience. At breakfast met Mrs. Springthorpe. Her face had worn look and her eyes were sunken and sur- rounded by dark rings but her conver- sation was as sparkling as ever. when she commiserated me on my nights ao' venture and coquettishly rallied me on my heedlessness, I could feel my sus- piicons slipping away from me.
 After breakfast I stole upstairs and made a careful examination of my bed room. No sash line had been broken. l had no doubt but that deliberate at tempt had been made on my life. There was no means of ingress to the room ex- cept by the window. and that was at least forty feet from the ground, with no balcony or other projection from the steep face of the wall.
 As I stood looking from the window Mrs. .springthorpe crossed the grounds below, looking up and lowing, with her most radiant smile, in which thought I detected shade of something like de lance.

 No; she retired to rest in better health than usual The prospect of again seeing her son seemed to buoy her up. In the morning she was found dead in bed. It must have been a happy ending, for no doubt, as my present wife says. 1t was the-result of the joyful anticipation of her sons retuprn."
