PURSUED BIZ HIS SHADOW

night, after a supper during which the
assessor in his e1asperating phleg-
matte way had referred to the story
OF Mr.. L%ienhardt's predecessor, who,
after a wild career, had ended his

them to a long dissertation on the
many superstittons which foolish peo'
pie attached to the tower.
Even during the preceding nights
DR.. Roderick had felt uncomfortable
in the room, but now he needed ali
his strength Of will to put out the
light.

to himself a hundred times over, but
what was the use? His was a sensi
tive nature, but was that his fault;

from behind, ara threw him into a

An old lady, whose uninterrupted
residence on a farm in the lower Sec

stranger to modern city c~onveniences,
recently paid a visit to some relatives
in Reading. The first evening she
retired, as was her custom, very
early. Some time later the smell OF
gas reached the other occupants and
a hasty invasion of the newcomers

himself by saying that the thing

now, shivering until his teeth chat

nothing further was said about the

The Judge did not limit himself in
his wines and other expenses, and
was running up a pretty bill. When
their stay at that hotel was ended,

isn't it heavenly" she asked.
~"Splendid," he %groaned, bracing his
thin legs against the heavy swing
in which they were standing opposite
each other until it flew into the foil
age of the oak from a branch OF
which it was hung.
Things began to go round before
his eyes. It was not dizziness that
laid hold Of him, but fear-downright
fear. He saw nothing, was conscious
Of nothing, but the outlines of her
girlish form, and to the latter his
glance was riveted as if the glorious
vision were his only means OF safety.
Suddenly she dived with a daring
hand into the foliage and tore OF a
bunch of leaves. The action gave
the swing a jerk as If it's chains were
breaking.
For heavens sake! Suppose you
were to turn dizzy"
ooh, there isn't the slightest dan

like-buttermilk.' W.ellf9 on my &C

Another swing or two, and then she
jumped off. She bit her lips when
he cautiously climbed after.
"You weren't afraid?" she inquired,
hearing him draw a breath Of relief.
He smiled constrainedly.
81 know no fear!" How naughty
that sounded. ct was anxiety for

Oh, how do you do, ASSESSOR"
Roderick looked out of the corner
of his eye, like a chained dog, at the
lighthaired giant in the uniform of an
official of the Woods and Forests De
partment, who was just emerging
from the park.
Could he have been listening tc
their conversation? Well, at any
rate, the interloper met with no bet
ter treatment at Gerda's hands thar
he, Roderick.
He had made her acquaintance al
a ball in the city, and they had be

These were Mr.. Lienhardt's words
as he received his nephew" with
suspicious cordially, while Aunt Der
tina at once decided that she wouit
theoretically further possible design
on her only daughter.
Roderick was what is called a goo
match. He had money enough to qui
his profession, that of law, and retir
into private life with a package O
