"eoOd Heavensl WHAT are you doing 2"

beth referred-the assassination of
the poor old man in his Sleep"
Later on in the day, just before
starting to the station, Mr.. Burritt, on
looking at his watch, noticed that 1t
had stopped. Then he remembered
that he had forgotten to bring his
watch key, and had, consequently,
been obliged to omit the ceremony of
winding 1t up the night before. 1t
occurred to him that his friend. who
was packing his portmanteau in the
next room, might be able to supply
the deficiency.
He left his own room and knocked
at the door Of the one adjoining. But
the occupant Of the apartment, whom
he heard moving about within, appar-
emily did not hear the knock, so, after
waiting a few seconds, he turned the
handle and entered.
The other was standing in front of
the dressing table and with his back
to the door, so that his actions were
reflected in the mirror. He was dress
ed, all but his coat, and was carefully
examining some article which caught
the light as he turned 1t over in his
hand. He wheeled round suddenly,
with a quick frown, on hearing the
sound of the opening of the door and
Mr.. Burritt's involuntary exclamation
of alarm when he saw how his friend
was employed.
Good heavens!" he exclaimed,
what are you doing with that thing7"
my dear fellow" said the other,
regaining his composure instantane-
ously, what on earth are you making
such fuss about? Did you never see
a revolver before?"
"Of course | have" answered Mr..
Burritt, somewhat Indignantly. But
there, for goodness sake, put the thing
down. | hate to see you trifiing with
1t in that way. 1t gives me the cold
shivers."
"You alarm yourself unnecessarily. l
assure you have not the slightest In
tention Of blowing my brains out.
Why on earth should I? was mere
ly examining the thing to see that 1t
was all right"
"But-but," stammered Mr.. Burritt.
far from treasured, you don't mean
to say that you are in the habit Of
carrying firearms about with you?"
MY dear fellow" mimicked the
other, Il don't merely say It, l do It."
But why?" was the question.
"why?" he replied. I'm case of
emergencies. You never know when
you may need It, and I should never
think Of travelling without something
Of the sort"
you mean to say" persisted Mr..
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1903-12-03

''It is quite Understood that you re-
turn with me and stop at least one
night" he remarked, genially. I'm
fact, there is no escape for you, as l
have already dispatched a telegram
to let them know at home that | am
bringing a friend back with me-"
"You are very good, Silas," was the
reply, land for one night at least, l
Will accept your hospitality"
sand you must come and stay with
us while you are looking about for a
house-make us your headquarters,
you know. I've no doubt that the two
girls, yours and mine, will be bosom
friends in less than no time; and as
ADr my boy Ted, he'll be head over
heels in love your daughter-if she's
anything like your descriptlon-be-
fore we know where we are. Ha, ha! |
shouldn't be a bit surprised-the
young dogl" and his father laughed
aloud, delighted at his own perspi-
cacity. "By the way, jim" relapsing
into a more serious vein, that would
not be half bad idea-your girl and
my boy-eh?"
The other looked at him intently.
"You mean it," he asked.
'Mean it? OF course do. Why
not?"
"In spite of-of everything that has
gone before?"
Good heavens, man! what has the
past got to do with your innocent
daughter? That would be visiting the
sins Of the fathers upon the children
with a vengeance"
The other man looked at his friend,
and his habitually Stern face softened.
"You are very generous" he said;
more generous than have a right to
expect"
Come, come" answered Mr.. Bur-
rift, don't talk like that, for heavens
sake; don't let us begin 1t all over
again. Your secret-such as II is
and this is the last allusion intend to
make, or allow you to make, to tt
lies between us two; which Is the
same thing as saying that it is perfect
ly safe"
Then, more for the sake Of giving
the conversation a more cheerful turn,
than for any other reason, he said:
81 think you made some remark
last night to the effect that you had
made large fortune. II so, am sim
cerely glad to hear It."
"Yes," was the Indifferent reply; 81
am, comparatively speaking, what you
would call a wealthy man, and my
daughter will be an helress in her
way"
Il am very glad TO hear IT," said
Mr.. Burritt heartily; "and at the same
time-not that / wish to boast-I may

A Cure for slssles.

One way for college athletes to earn
their expenses nowadays is by acting
as sort of male governesses, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean Wealthy par.
ents whose young sons are being edu
Gated at home by governesses fire.,
quently apply at the employment Of
fees of universities for the services Of
some athlete who can give their boys
FIVE or six hours a week Of compan'
ionship. They are afraid that the edu.
cation Of governesses alone may make
their sons "sisslfied."
A number Of athletes paying their
own way through the various colleges
have such Jobs. Three or four morn.
ings week they 60 to the boys, romp
with them, play ball, and during the
winter skate and coast. Usually they
are also employed in vacation to stay
with the boys at their parents sum
mer homes. One Northwestern stu.
dent has held such a position for three
years.

CHAPTER w.

"The Secret Lies Between Us Two"
Next morning Mr.. Silas Burritt, and
his friend, whose incognito is still pre-
served, were seated at breakfast to-
gether.
In thu clear light of day, in the
presence of the most appetizing
viands, the former gentleman found
his mind completely Invested of all
those gloomy and distrustful thoughts
and suspicious which had caused him
so much disquietude previously, to say
nothing of having ruined his nights
rest. 1t was astonishing what wide
ly different view he took of the mat
ter as he discussed this early meal.
His heart warmed anew toward his
old friead, who sat facing him, and
who also appeared to more advantage
under tlese more cheerful circum-
stances.

myself have made my pile, too
not such large one as yours, prob
ably, but at any rate, have the sat
isfaction of knowing that, If anything
should happen to me"-this vita an
accession of seriousness-"I should
leave my family we'll provided for. l
have had my ups and downs as well
as others; but have no fear Of the
future"
He spoke these last words quite
confidently, unconscious of the ignor-
ance and rashness of the assertion.
"By the way" he continued, after a
while, fare you a bad sleeper, as a
rule, or was last night an exception,
as in my own case?"
'It was no exception, unfortunately,
for me-" was the answer. Il am a
wretched sleeper, and last night was
worse than usual. At the same time
with an air of restraint or awkward
ness-"I had no business to disturb
you in the way did"
Don't mention it,, said Mr.. Burritt
carelessly, forgetting the very differ
ent light in which the affair had APP
peared to him at the time of its oc-
currence. Though you gave me
rather start at the moment, on
waking up suddenly as did, and from
very bad dream"
81 thought you seemed rather rest
less and uneasy in your Sleep" was
the reply.
Insomnia is one of the greatest
curses l know, though, as rule, |
do not suffer much from it myself. But
if, like Macbeth, you have murdered
sleep, you are much to be pitied."
The other man started at the i'll
sounding word.
Murdered he exclaimed; then-"I
beg your pardon" he muttered, some

meaning at first; in fact, I have al
most forgotten my Shakespeare"

quotation was most inapt. had also
forgotten for the moment, that it was
to the murder Of Duncan that Mac.

CHAPTER lII.-contlnued.

Mr.. Burritt was puzzled and ex-
pressed as much by his loo'-s. Why
on earth did the man come stealing
into his room in that strange, uncom-
Portable manner, and at that hour, and
for no apparent purpose?
His friend seemed to read what was
passing in his mind. II am sorry If |
have disturbed you." he said, slowly,
"but could not bear my own
thoughts any longer, and so L" He
turned to leave the room.
Mr.. Burritt followed him with his
eyes. He still seemed to him to be
part of his dream-his strange, hor-
rible dream.
Then, as the other man reached
the door, and passing through it,
closed 1t behind him, he gave a gasp
of relief. The next moment he had
crossed the floor and turned the key
in the lock.
''I could have sworn had locked ii
before" he said to himself. "At any
rate there shall be no mistake this
time" as he shot the bolt to make
matters doubly sure.
