said. why, that would settle it."
Brenda smiled at the great astute-
ness of Mr.. Barnes, but she declined to
be led into review OF her movements
that afternoon. Mr.. Haggerty then
struck into the conversation with the
remark that it was curious how people
could forget where they had been, and
he instanced the case of young lady
who had lost az excellent alibi in
criminal affair through the error of not
taking the police ipta lep confidence
at an early stage OF the proceedings,
While the facts were fresh in her mind.
Brenda suggested that perhaps the
lady did not fully trust the police

At the hospital II naea"a-
, a,eiy evident that Barnes and Hagger-

formidable obstacle. They were about
to accompany Brenda into the recep-

that they might never leave her while
she remained in the building, but for
some inscrutable reason they vanished,
and Brenda's last glimpse showed
them obviously crestfallen.
She had been somewhat lightened In
spirits by the absurd comedy played
by these dull witted men. 1t had end
ed, however and the real significance
Of the drama again asserted itself.
The reception room of st. Winifred's
Is lofty and bare, and there was a chill
air in 1t even on that sultry June even
ing. Brenda observed that the place
inspired her two companions with n
vague terror. The maid was seized
with visible trembling, and the stall
wart James shifted his heavily shod
feet upon the floor, arousing singular
ly loud echoes that seemed to affect
him unpleasantly.
The attendant who had shown them

and that his upper lip was very thin
and rigid. In his companion Brenda
was rejoiced to recognize young doc

The physician seemed to be laboring
under considerable embarrassment. He
took Brenda's hand with quick, nerv-
Gus movement, and he clasped 1t hard
er than the forms of polite society per-
NIT. But he did not meet the young
lady's eye.
"Our patient is conscious" he said.
"She has an excellent chance of recov-
cry. Indeed under ordinary circum-
stances there would be small cause for
alarm. To our great surprise, we find
that she does not know who inflicted
the wound. II may be only lapse Of
memory due to shock, but myself fear
that she will never be able to answer
the question"
"She does not known" echoed Brenda.
"You must understand" said Ken
dali, 'that the assailant stood behind
her. He, whoever it may have been, is
supposed to have entered the room

Brenda inclined her head.
"The assassin may have hidden HIM

room through that eastern window,
and she knows nothing of what hap

time of her awakening here"
"She will live" said Brenda. "She
will remember some day"
"She can never remember what 1he

these reasons are swallowed up in the

many people say that they do not
wish to recover, but most Of them will
wait until after the danger Is over be-
fore giving utterance to words which
the supernal powers may take too seri-
ously.
DR.. Kendall was not in the least pre-
pared to hear such an expression from
this particular patient. He would have
said that she was one who enjoyed
life, every minute of 1t. Certainly she
was as full of natural vitality as a
young fawn in the woods. Plainly
Brenda was at least as much surprised
as Kendall, and the physician awaited
her response with critical interest. If
she should ask an explanation or offer
an argument, it would slow that she
had not the instinct of the nurse. 1t
was in the nature OF an examination,
and Brenda passed it with great credit.
"If you will tell me 1 may stay" she
said, 81 will do something that will
make you feel much better"
"You know that 1 want you to stay"
said Elsie. at was very, very good
of you to come, and l thank you tru-

da, 'I am going to fix your hair. One
moment, while l make myself ready.
And now," she added, don't move;
not a muscle. See, l can reach it with
out the slightest trouble"
And with cool and steady hands she
arranged the brown masses in which
there lurked q strange glow like red
gold in the sun. 1t was cleverly done.
Elsie felt the caressing hands, but they
were so deft that not a tremor reached
the wound. DR.. Kendall, observing
closely, nodded his head as one who
considers a question satisfactorily set
tied.
"Such beautiful hairT said Brenda.
"You must be very vain Of it."
But Elsie averred that she did not

The Problems Solved.

For months the Methodist and
| Baptist denominations in South
Carolina have been confronted
with problems of similar nature
pertaining to the welfare of their
colleges. The former bad been
greatly exercised over the removal
of the Columbia Female college
from Columbia, some favoring aud
others opposing the change, while
dlscord had arisen in the ranks of
the latter over tho retention, by
the board of trustees, of a member
of the faculty of Furman Univer.
sity against the judgment and
wishes of many. By a majority
vote of The Conference in Now ber-
rr the Columbia Female college
question was settled by deciding
TO let it remain in Columbia. On
the same day the Furman Univer-
sity trouble was settled by the re-
signation, presented to the Con
ventiop in Greenville, of DR.. G. B.
Moore as member of Furman's
faculty, which becomes effective
at the close of the present session.
The Methodlsts and Baptists OF
The state are to be congratulated
and should be thankful that oil
has bean poured on the troubled
waters resulting in an amicable
settlement of all differences.
