 T blew out the lamp and felt my way back to the door.

We will go to your house, where you can dress yourself as you dress vixen you act the part of Alderman Then we will go together to your Chelsea room. I fancy that we shall find there the xplanation of your mystery
 The doctor left the room for a few moments, and returned with his over coat and hat. The two men drove to Russel's Baywater house, where Rus sell disguished himself as he had been in the habit Of doing. They re-entered the cab and dreve toward Chelsea.
 Tt is an old saying" remarked the doctor. that where there are three doctors there are two atheists. Of course it isn't true, but it expresses the general opinion that we medical men are prone to disbelief. Now, on the contrary. ! have learned to disbe- Iieve nothing, I have seen in the course Of my practice so many impossi- bla things, and have been compelled to believe so many incredible things, that the two words. impossible, and incredible no longer exist for me.

 Together they climbed the stairs, without meeting any one on the way. The house were as still as if it ware un- inhabited. Probably the landIady and the Iodgers were either absent or asleep. Russell tried the door of his room, and. as he evidently expected, it was again unlocked.
 Steady said the doctor, as he pushed the door softly open; keep cool, and don't be surprised whatever may do."

A FORECAST OF THE STRUGGLE
IN RUSSIA.

Were it not the essence of rashness to forecast the upshot of the struggle between the autocracy and the nation, I should confess to a belief that ab- solutism will disappear befor coali- tion of allN the intelligent classes at home and of the two great island pow CTS abroad. Coercion in Russia and expansion in Asia are the characteris- tic accompaniments of the autocracy. Now the joint effort of all the articul

"A Daughter of the South" is wars ton, illustrated by E. Pollak and hand somely issued by Lothrop, Lee and Shepard Company, Boston.
 "A Daughter of the South' is 8 ro- nance having a peculiarly interesting setting. It is above and beyond all a love story as sweet, as pure, and. as pleasing as the authors most widely popular romance, Dorothy South" Like Dorothy south,' it has for its heroine a young woman of high breed ing and high character, proud, passion- ate and duty loving, a woman who thinks clearly, feels strongly and acts in obedience to her own convictions without any shadow of fear or shrink ing from the consequences of right do- ing.
 The action of the story lies in the re- zion of the lower Mississippi river, from Cairo to New Orleans. and it's time is the period near the end of the civil war, after the great river was opened to navigation, but when it's banks and bayous were still vexed with hostilities, and the greedy lawlessness of specula- tors who gave to their business a good deal of the character of crime. It was, as the author has written, that time when in the minds and conduct of many men there had been lapse from patriotism to plumber. from loyalty to loot. That period in that region was peculiar in it's picturesqueness and in it's wealth of romantic and dramatic interest. The field is one totally ne>, to fiction, and certainly MT.
