"For seven years l have been troubled
with what the doctors called a fast heart,
going al once from the usual beat 10 twice as
fast, which in a short nme would exhaust me
terribly and only after treatment by physi-
clan i would get back to normal speed.
These attacks increased In frequency aud
severity until December, 1901, when they
came on once a week. Each attack would
lay me up a day or more. The attack begin
ning January I3th. 1904 lasted 100 hours
lalmost a week. my heart beat almost one
hundred aud nifty per minute and some
times more. During this week my physician
consulted with four other doctors, but all 10 no
purpose. My heart finally slowed up, and Il
was then a serious question with my family

CHAPTER XXI.
A Robbery and a Recognition.

The next day, being Thursday, was
not destined to pass uneventfully.
Tomorrow" said the young man
who. for prudential reasons, chose to
go by the name of Edwards, as he
rose that morning; forgetting TO take
-nto consideration the proceedings of
to-day and their probable influence on
the affairs Of tomorrow.
1t was not very long before he
awoke to sense of mlschieI brooding
in the air. Perhaps it was the sight
of that pale, narrow face opposite to
him as he ate his breakfast--a face
which, on this occasion. was wreathed
with a false smile and characterized
by a general air of great cOmplacency.
Evidently Perkins was in a high
state of good humor, so much so that
it struck the young man with vague
presentiment of impending disaster.
However, he consoled himself with
the reflection that there was only one
more day to elapse before he hoped
to be in position, to set everyone
at defiance; and, surely. in that short
time, she would be unable to meet
with an opportunity for wreaking her
spite upon him.
After tomorrow, the Deluge,' he
thought paraphrasing the words Of
the French monarch. Meanwhile,
there was to-day to be considered;
if, he had only been aware of the
fact, the chances of tomorrow were
already in danger Of being seriously
jeopardiZed by the events of the more
immediate present.
"Whatever's come to Mariarann?"
asked the cook, who was also struck
by the change. i've never knowed

day or so.
The young man. Edwards. seemed
as though his attention was arrested
by this trivial remark and glanced
across the table inquiringly.

dressing herself to him, as she per-
ceived that what she had said had,

she's in love-folks generally sighs a
deal, when they're in love'-and she
directed what ought to have been a
killing glance at the good looking
young man opposite her and, breathed
a sigh on her own account.
1t apparently missed its aim. but
something in this last remark seemed
to excite great derision in the breast
of Perkins. the housemad.
In love-" she exclaimed. "Ha ha,
| like that" and she, too, sent a
glance. which might. in a sense have

At this ordinary enough remark. the
young man who had been sitting there
very quietly while the discussion just
recorded was raging round him, seem
ed galvanized into sudden action and
extraordinary civility.

Once, too. heard the unmistak

Was he dissatisfied with what he he'd

trouble We're lavished upon it?

he has been engaged is of some other
: description, what will become OF
it when finished, and what will he do
with the pieces of paper which he has
torn up? Will they be committed to
the flames, or simply to the waste
paper basket"
Which, said the cook at dinner
the next day, "ditchwater is the hon!y

The young man seemed inclined TO
press his request, but noticing Per
kins regarding him in evident per
pleyity, as though not knowing what
to make of this move, he checked
himself and said no more on the
subject
But when the parlor maids work
was nearly completed and she came
ont OF the room with the dustpau and
brush in her hand, she found him
waiting patiently outside the door
Let me-let me relieve you OF
those things" he said. with an eager
ness which. Notwithstanding her com
plete confidence in her own charms,
she found as ruzzling as it was de
