, it could be made to carry out what
the hand had failed to complete!
He turned to his sister, who had
sunk upon sofa by the half-dark-
ened window and was watching his
movements and the play of his coun-
tenance with a gradually increasing
sensation of heaviness about the re-
gion of the heart.
May" said her brother, cts no
use putting things off, it only makes
matters worse; so listen attentively to
what | am going to tell you, and be-
have like the good little girl you can
be-"
1t was ten minutes later and the
room looked just the same, and yet
there was a difference. The empty
chair, the Bradshaw" lying open
upon the table, and even the waste
paper basket, had become objects to
be regarded with bated breath and
a sense of shuddering awe.
Murdered! That dreadful word,
which suggested such hideous posi-
bilities to the mind of the hearer!
She had listened in silence and hor-
ror as he repeated the suspicious,
which were now certainties, as far
as he was concerned. And now,
you see, May" he concluded, what
we have to do is to find the murderer;
track him step by step, and then"
He paused significantly.
"And them" in an awe-struck voice
from his solitary listener.
"Then!-that depends" was the
grim reply. you know what the BIZ

She shook her head.

"Frightens you, does it," was the
angry reply. Perhaps you would like
to sit quietly down and do nothing?"

full interruption. "The police! Leave

the stairs. But it was only a dream"
she sighed.
On being told of her sons return,
she at first decided that she would get
up; but the thought of the exertion
proved too much for her.

was the first thing he said, after he
had been kissed and cried over.
yes, my DEAR" she answered; you
said you would and | never doubted
it. But it's sad, sad Homecoming"
And here the poor lady gave way
and wept abundantly
Her son consoled her to the best
of his ability, wondering all the time
how she would take it when she came
to know the truth-the truth, which
must come out sooner or later
The presence of the dead is always
a subject more or less of superstitious
fear to the less educated classes;
consequently Ted was hardly sur
prised when he observed a decided
disposition on the part of the domes-
tic staff to avoid, as much as possible,
the upper portion of the house. But
he was surprised to find himself Civ
ing way to feeling of nervousness
of anticipation, when he was alone in
his room (Which was situated next to
the one in which his father lay in his
coffin that night.

bed at all, but to sit up and read

at his own lice. What on earth
made him fee ike this? He had not
been afraid of his father living, why
should he fear him dead?-dead and

He turned up the gas and chose

sleepy He would shut up the book
and go to bed. A prodigious yawn
followed, and he nearly dropped his
book.
The next moment a sound of some
thing heavy falling brought him broad
awake with the sensation of cold
wind passing through his hair.
What was it? Was it in this room
or the next?
The next moment he gave short,
harsh laugh, as he saw that the bullet
from the revolver, which ne had
placed upon the bureau, had fallen
from thence to the ground, where it
had rolled some way.
He picked it up and deposited it in
a drawer, which he locked for greater
security.
81 don't want to be disturbed that
way again." he said to himself. My
nerves must be awfully shaken to let
such a trife as that knock me over
in the way it did | wonder whether
it will be any good going to bed after
this? 1t is no use trying to read any
more"
After turning about uneasily for
some time, he fell into a troubled
sleep There was not sound or
movement of any sort in the house,
and he had slept on for about two
hours when all at once, without
any warning, he awoke. What had
reused him? The same voice which
he had heard once before in the very
early morning.
"Ted!" 1t seemed to come to him
through the dividing wall. And this
time, as before, he answered back
without thinking-his senses still half
under the influence of slumber-
Eyes, father; what is it,"
And the same voice, whether it was
only his own brain, or came from
some unknown source, answered him
back again

ULCERS FOR 80 YEARS.
Painful Eruptions From Knees to Feet
Seemed ncurable-Cuticura

Another of those remarkable cures
by Cuticura, after doctors and all else
had failed, is testified to by Mr.. M.
G. Moss Of Gainesville, Texas, in the
following letter: For over thirty
years | suffered from painful ulcers
and an eruption from my knees to
feet, and could find neither doctors
nor medicine to help me, until l used
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills,
which cured me in six months. They
