progress in recovery.

Fry, nearly three weeks after the
shooting. "He looks brighter and
takes notice of things. But, somehow,
he acts little mite queer"
How? Doesn't he know your"
Yes, he called me Mrs. Fry, but he
asked me why he was at my house,

here, and then he wanted to know
why he wasn't taken home instid."

should wander" said Mr.. Hamilton.

Mr.. Hamilton hesitated for a mo-
ment and then followed Mrs. Fry to
| the comfortable apartment where lay
Primus Edes ON his bed, pallid and
emaciated, his dark hair cropped
short and his eyes shrunken.
"Mr. Hamilton has called in to see
you," said Mrs. Fry, approaching and
Strengthening the bedclothes.
"Mr.-who?" asked the sick man
staring at his visitor, and at her, with
a wild look in his eyes.
"Mr. Hamilton" she repeated.
Are you my ghost?" asked Edes
snatching at the bedclothes. "Am
dead, then, and you my other sell
come to haunt me?"
mo, no." said Mrs. Fry, soothirsyly
"nobuddy sha'n't ha'nt you, not if

Mr.. Hamilton, meanwhile, had left
the room and stood waiting for Mrs

CHAPTER XIV.
Who Fired the Shot?

VINO fIrcu the onot1
The next morning at an early hour
pistol shot rang out sharp and
quick on the still air surrounding the
upper portion of Grovedale. 1t was
heard by many and commented upon
One or two heard the shot with some
dismay, and made their way at once
in the direction of the sound.
1t appeared to be, as l have said
at the upper end of the village, and
two or three men turned into the
street approaching Mr.. Hamilton's
house and walked toward it together.
These were the men who had followed
the sound.
When they reached the grounds of
the house they saw a group of people
standing about figure lying on the
grass. The group consisted of Mr..
and Mrs. Hamilton and Mr.. Carter,
who stood back at their approach and
plainly revealed to their gaze the form
of Primus Edes lying, face upward,
on the ground.
"Who did it?" asked one Of the men,
Mr.. Green, eXcitedly.
That's more than we can tell" said
Mr.. Carter. Il heard a shot and
jumped into my clothes and came
down. Vane had got here, somehow,
before l did, and my niece followed
me. That's all we knew about the
matter"
"Shot himself, most likely" said
Mr.. Dawes, a grocer on Main street.
"Eades has looked down-hCarted for
long time. wonder where the pis-
toll is? 1t can't be great ways off, if
he did it himself"
That's SO" said the other man,
looking about.
But the grass as short, there was
no place where pistol could be hid
den from direct gaze except behind a
row of rosebushes a few feet away.
Green moved toward them TO look,
and, to his surprise, saw small PTS
toll plainly in sight in front of, not
behind, the rose bushes.

quietly:

Why am l sick here instead OF at

ooh, twas more convenient"
81 should hardly think so. Such
short distance. Who was that man
who called to see me yesterday"
"Mr. Hammerly, our minister. He's
a dreadful nice man."
"I mistook the name at first, or yon
did. Any way he looks enough like
me to be my twin brother. Where is
Constance-and the children"
"Constance!" said Mrs. Fry, star
ing at him with all her might.
Eyes; is there anything strange
about my questions?"
mo; oh, no, not mite. Constance
is over home, an the children, too,
most like"
"You say Constance is over home.
Why does she not come to see me?'
"Shes dreadful busy"

mo, they are all right, all of them.
There amt nothin' the matter with
none of them"
"Then she must come to see me,
for l am not able to go to her."
He spoke with decision new and
strange. Mrs. Fry began to grow
alarmed.
But don't you see, Mr. Edes, 1t
wouldn't look well, she Dein' mar
ried woman so, an you a single man."
Are you crazy, my good woman?
My name is not Edes and | am not

I'm sure you told me that your
name was Edes, and that you were

Il never told you so. Edes!

she asked, endeavoring to quiet him
by return to her acQulescent man.

"Vane Hamilton, as you very well
know"
"All right, and now will you have
your drops? The clock is just strik
ing the time"
Yes, if you will go over and ask
my wife to come to see me-"
'I'll ask her."
Thank you. 1t is only little way,
and she won't mind the walk. One
ought to see the house from that win

You can see it plain" and Mrs.
Fry gave him the drops, and then
went and stood irresolutely in the
middle of her kitchen for several
minutes.
Il promised, an it won't do no
great hurt" she said to herself at
last. at dooz beat all what's got into
the man, claimin' to be Vane Hamil-
ton, an he with almost black hair.
He's crazy as loon"
Taking the sunbonnet from its nail
on the wall she closed the door care
fully, and then called to her next-door
neighbours to ask her 20 keep house"
a little while for her.
Don't disturb Mr.. Edes unless he
wants somethin'," she said, and then
she hurried to the house of Mrs. Ham

herself, who had seen her coming.
