Is a natural tendency TO perform oper-

in public hospitals, where treatment,

thing FOR the medical profession to be

as Il has been BY Chicago court,

entitled to a settled privilege in this

Notwithstanding them slowly and
heavily, for he had aged ten years in
the last week-when George Warren
came rushing out of the rooms which
the Hadleys had occupied. They were
empty now because the widow could
not live in that scene Of horrid memo
ries.
Warren was pale as paper and
speechless with excitement. He seized
knight by the arm and dragged him
into the parlor Of the little suit. closing
and locking the door behind them. Then
he rushed across the room, passing
over the spot where Hadley's body had
lain. The wall was wainscoted fully
five feet from the floor.
Warren laid trembling hand upon
this wall. and instantly knight saw a
small panel open. Within there was Il
revolver pointing straight outward.
There was mechanism of a very sim
pie sort by which the weapon if cooked
could be discharged. The panel closed
with a spring.
Standing with his hand upon the
open panel Warren mumbled inarticu-
late sounds.
II see, I see" said Knight. with a
shudder. HE was clever with cabinet
makers tools. He made many pretty
little things-for her. And he made
this for her too. The fool. The infer

Warren hoarsely. He marked the

He glanced at his watch and then
went slowly out Of the room.
That afternoon Mrs. Hadley received
$4,000 and the insurance company
filed away a receipt in full. 1t is better
business to pay claim than to contest
II, especially when the money Is fur
nished by somebody else.
In the evening Willard Knight was
pacing the floor Of his dining room very
much as he had been going on another
evening not long before. He was very
tired and weak. for he had called upon
the owners Of six newspapers and the
chief Of police and had not had time
for his dinner. But he had strength
enough left to swear at Ernest Hadley

u Il r. WILLARD KNIGHT had
NH been a widOwer and alone
~ so long that by the strange
law which rules our mortal
nature in such matters the brief
and hallowed time when he had
not been alone, the time of sweet COM
partnership so dearly cherished in his
heart, seemed to be coming nearer.
He occupied the upper floor of a small
building which he had taken on lease
thirty years before and had subse
Quently bought because he had not
cared to run the risk Of having to move
away. The rooms We're comforta BILE
enough and had been suited to such
means as he possessed at the time Of
his marriage. The remainder of the
building was rented to an express COM
pany, the second to dressmaker and
half the third to a young married cou-
pie who were much in arrears. The
other half of the third floor was vacant,
and the fourth was Mr.. knights.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hadley, the third floor
tenants, were very nice people, as their
landlord would say to any one who
would listen. If he had not taken a
great fancy to them. he would have
bundled them out with scant ceremony
when they failed to pay promptly, for
knight was man incapable of per-
ceiving an excuse for debt.
But he liked Hadley. He liked him so
well that he used to swear at him in a
way that made up in earnestness what
1t lacked in real profanity. Even alone
In his own room he would sometimes
swear at Hadley for straight half
hour, and he devoted no such share of
his attention to anybody else.
Hadley was very much in love with
his wife, but he made her life wretch
ed. He tortured her with his unre-
hitting dependency. When woman
loves a man, she believes in him. If
he says that the world is black, it be-
comes black to her even when she has
the courage to stand up and tell him
that 1t is bright and CHEEKY and good
place to live in.
Hadley conducted little, dying,
putworn business which he had inner
tied from his father. He should have
sold it out for anything that he could
get and have gone heart and soul into
q field more promising. He knew this
and would say so readily, but he lacked
strength and courage to find and seize
upon better opportunity.
About 8 o'clock one evening Knight
was alone in his rooms. He was walk

hard and considering deeply, even
wrathfully. the case of Ernest Hadley.
I'D stake that fellow" he was say
ing-"I'd put up some money for him
and give him a start-if he hadn't lied
to me''
The lie in question had been told that
afternoon when knight had caught
Hadley on the stairs as the young man
was going out to business after lunch
con and had made few remarks
about the overdue rent.
II shall have a lot Of money soon."
the tenant had said. perhaps today.
I'm all right. Just wait Il little longer"
His affectation Of hopeful expectancy
had been more sad than his ordinary
gloom, for at least the gloom was real
and true. The absurd falsehOod was
likely to cost the young man dearly.
knight had really been upon the point
Of doing something handsome. but the
lie checked him.
"At any rate" said he at last. '1'll so
down and talk to him. I'll see what he
has to say for himself"
He knew that Mrs. Hadley had gone
but Of town to spend the night with
some relatives in the suburbs. 1t was a
good chance to talk the whole matter
over. So the old gentleman put hand
full of cigars into his pocket in case
Hadley should be short of tobacco and
went out into the hall. Just as he
closed his door he thought that he
heard a noise in Hadley's room. He
could not have described it accurately
nor have said with conviction that it
proceeded from the room below, but his
Impression was that it did. 1872

husband, but Il is certain that she was
unspeakably wretched because of his
death. Knight feared for her sanity.
Indeed she was not fully sane at first,
even going to the length of accusing
Knight of the crime and demanding
vengeance upon him. This injustice
grieved him to the soul, for his earliest
resolution in this terrible affair had
been to provide for this poor woman as
long as she should live. He had at first
believed that she would be entirely
destitute, but within few days it de-
ve1Oped that Hadley had insured his
life in her favor for $4,000.
Even with such provision she
would need some one of business eXpe-
rience to safeguard her interests, and
therefore, as soon as she was calm
enough to speak about the matter,
knight offered his services most cour-
teously and kindly. Mrs. Hadley was
by this time ashamed of her accusa-
tons against him, and she accepted his
offer with something like humility. 1t
appeared that she had already applied
to the insurance company for a small
payment, as she lacked money for her
immediate support, and the company
had refused her.
'"They have dared to tell me-" said
she, that they must first Investigate
his death; that they have reason to
think he may have taken his own life"
Upon learning this Knight went to
see the president of the company, a
man with whom he was quite we'll ac-
quainted. The gentleman was vague
and evasive. He would authorize no
payment. But knight took some mon
ey out Of his own pocket and made
Mrs. Hadley believe that the insur-
ance company had paid it.
A few days later knight was do
scending the stairs from his apart
