"And now, Mr.. Halstead," said I,
'let me state this case as you see it, or

''No; certainly not" vas the answer.

- WAS reused by loud knocking at
my door. Stumbling forward, l
sprung back the catch Of the lock.
The man without had turned the
knob and was pressing upon it so that
he seemed to fall into the room. He
was nv uncle's butler and was obvious
ly shaking with alarm.
My first thought was that my uncle,
whose health was very feeble, might
have died in the night.
"Mr Halstead is worse?" I began.
The butler shook his head with sort
of shuddering CONFUSION that swept
down to his toes.
Its Mr.. john" he replied. "He's
dead"
The news struck to my heart. Jack
Halstead was my cousin and fine fell

he had had of late had brought us close
together, and / held him to be my best
friend.
'Deadv' I exclaimed. can accident?"
Suicide" was the reply.
was conscious of surprise in the
midst of my confusion, for this servant
had hated Jack with the unforgiving
persistence of an Indian since day
long ago when my cousin had exposed
him in a trifiing delinquency.
I dressed with all haste and hurried
across to my uncles house, accompa
MED by the trembling servant When
we entered I saw a group at the head
of the broad stairway. Mr.. Halstead
was upon the topmOst stair and tow
cred above the others.
Upon a lower stair stood Arthur
Morrow, son of the late Mrs. Halstead
by a former marriage. A step or two
higher and ascending was DR.. Norton
Carr, the old physician of the family.
AS approached the stairway my uncle
extended his long right arm over he
heads of the others and shook his fin
ger at me.
'This is no better than murderv' he
cried. you are responsible for this"
What do you meanY I demanded.
"Come here, and I'll show you," he
replied in a choking dice.
We entered Jacks bedroom. The
poor fellow lay there in his bed, his
mortal part reposing in the final sleep.
Mr.. Halstead paused by the head of
the bed and tapped with his finger up
on a small table. 1 came forward and
looked down. There lay a little vial
containing white tablets and beside it
q small tube. There was a label on the
vial, ana knew what was marked up
on it-"Morphine. one-half grain; DR..
Halstead."
"He got these things Of you" said
my uncle. II call it murder. What pos
sible excuse? You knew that he was
heartbroken for Dora She is going
away; he has lost her You have seen
how he has been of late"
II did not give him this said 7.
How can you imagine that l would do
such thing? He took them out of my
office"
"And you knew it"' Numbered Mr.
Ealstead. "You knew it, and you
didn't tell me! You made no effort to
save him. Why did you suppose he
wanted this poison? Had he any prop.
err need of this drug?"
l shook my head.
II loved him." said my uncle, laying
his hand upon the dead mans breast
''He should have had the bulk of my
fortune, and you knew it. You ruined
his life
"You are mad TO say so!' exclaimed.
He sneered at me.
"Why is that girl going ayr he
demanded. "Do you THU. ont
know? Because q penniless has
won her away from my boy here. She
couldn't marry you because you hadn't
the money to buy her a roof and her
bread. But you would have had lit
tie at my death and were content to
wait"
"As long as l have known Dora"
said [ with all the earnestness at my
command, II have never spoken one
word of love to her. Do you suppose
would step In and rob Jack? Why,
you yourself have praised me for my
loyalty to him"
