 Every Respect.

No better day than yesterday could have been chosen as far as the wealth CT was concerned for the tennis tour nament. The day was almost ideal just warm enough with scarcely, if any wind.

 "Oh, how interesting! You must tell me all about it!' She was watching the door all the while.
 Presently the music ceased, and they made their way back to the spot whence he had taken her. She led the ! way thither by an almost imperccp tible pressure of her fingers on his arm. There were several men waiting there, and one or two more entering l the room and looking languidly. round
 "There comes the favored one," Lady Cantourne muttered, with a yelled glance toward her companion. Sir Johns gray eyes followed the di' rection of her glance.
 .'Iy bright boy?" he inquired. with a | wealth of sarcasm on the adjective.
 "Your bright boy" she replied. q hope not" he said curtly. They were watching a tall fair man in the doorway who seemed to know everybody, so slow was his progress into the room. The most remarkable thing about this man was certain grace of movement. He seemed to be specially constructed to live in narrow, hampered places. He was above six | feet, but being of slight build he moved with a certain languidness which saved him from that unwieldiness usually as. sociated with large men in drawing | room.
 Such was Jack Meredith, one of the best known figures in London society. He had hitherto succeeded in moving | through the mazes of that coterie, as he now moved through this room, without jarring any one. .~.

One bottle--a blue one-bore two labels: the smaller one, of brilliant orange color. with the word Poison" in startling simplicity. He took this up and slowly drew the cork. It was llniment for neuralgic pains In an overwrought head-belladonna. He poured some Into medicine glass, carefully meas uring two tablespoonfuls.
 Then Guy Oscard sprang up and wrenched the glass away from him, throwing the contents into the fire, which fared up. Quick as thought, the bottle was at the sick mans lips. He was a heavily built man. with powerful limbs. Guy seized his arm. closed with him, and for moment there was a deadly struggle. while the pungent odor of the poison filled the atmos- phere. At last Guy fell back on art; he ripped his father cleverly, and they both rolled on the floor.
 The sick man still gripped the bottle. but he could not get 1t to his lips. He poured some of the stuff ovor his sons face, but fortunately missed his eyes. They struggled on the floor in the dim light, panting and gasping, but speak Ing no word. The strength of the elder man was unnatural--it frightened the younger and stronger c0mbatant. At last Guy Oscard got his knee on bis fathers neck, and bent his wrist back until he was forced to let go his hold on the bottle.

CHAPTER ".

IN his stately bedroom on the sec
 ond floor of the quietest house fin
 Russell square Mfr. Thomas Os- \ card-the eccentric Oscard-lay. perhaps. a-dying.
 Thomas Oscard had written the fin- est history of an extinct people that had ever been penned: and 1t has beer decreed that he who writes a fine his tory md paints a fine picture can hardly be too eccentric. Our business, however. does not lie in the life of this historian-a life which certain grave wiseacres from the west (endD had shaken their heads over a few hours before we find him lying prone ,n 6 four-poster. counting for the thou Ianith time the number of tassels ringing the roof of it. In bold con- .radiction of the medical opinion, the nurse was. however. hopeful Whether his comforting condition of mind arose from long experience of the ways of doctors or from an acquired philosophy t is not our place to inquire. But that fer opinion was sincere is rot to be doubted. She had. as a matter of fact. gone to the pantomime. leaving the patient under the immediate eye of his son. Guy Oscari.
 During the last forty-eight hours Guy oscari had made the decision that life without MilIicent Chyne would not be worth having. and in the hush of the yreat house he was pondering over this new feature in his existence. Like all deliberate men. he was ,placidly san yuine. Something in thevife of-a saw age sport tat he had led had no doubt taught him to rely upon his own nerve md capacity more than most men do ft is ti1e indoor atmosphere that con- zins the gsrm of pessimism-

For moment there trds q dcddly struggle. piece was to be administered at once, or the consequences would be fatal. But Thomas Oscard refused to take 1t. He seemed determined to kill himself. The son stood over him and tried threats. persuasion. prayers. and all the while there was in his heart the knowledge that unless hls father could be made 10 sleep the reputed three thousand a year would be his befofe the morning.
 It was worse than the actual phys ical struggle on the floor. The tempta- ton was almost too strong.
 After awhile the sick man became quieter, but he still refused to take the opiate. He closed his eyes and made no answer to Guys repeated supplication. Finally he ceased shak- ing his head in ncsation and at last breathed regularly. like q child asleep.
 Afterward Guy Oscard approached himself for suspecting nothing. but he knew nothing of brain diseases-those strange maladies that kill the human in the human being. He knew. how ever. why his father had tried to kill himself. It was not the first time. It was panic. He was afraid of going mad, of dying mad like his father be- fore him. People called him eccentric. Some said that he was mad. but if was not so: 1t was only fear of mad ness. He was still asleep whec the nurse came back from the pantoIsimc in a cab. and Guy crept softly down. stairs to let her in.
 They stood in the hall for some time while Guy told her in whispers about the belladonna liniment. Then they went upstairs together and found Thomas Oscard. the great historian. dead on the floor. The liniment bottle. which Guy had left on the mantei- piece, was fin his hand-empty. He had feigned sleep in order to carry out his purpose.
 They picked him up and laid him reverently on the bed. and then Guy went for the doctor.
 T could.- said the attendant of death. when he had heard the whole story. "I could give you a certificate. I could reconcile it. 1 mean. with my professional conscience and my-other conscience.

 Again the doctor paused. glancing with vague smile toward the woman who stood beside them. "Or even nurse," he added, not troubling to finish his sentence. "We all have our moments of responsiveness. Aud 1t Is story that might easily be dis I credited"
 So the eccentric Oscard finished his earthly career in tffe intellectual at- mosphere of a coroners jUYy. And the world rather liked 1t than other wise. The world, one finds. does like novelty, even in death. Some day an American will invent a new funeral, and, if he can only get the patent. will make fortune.
 The world was. moreover. pleased to pity Guy Oscard with that pure and simple sympathy which Is ever accorded to the wealthy In affilction. Every one knew that Thomas Oscard had enjoyed affiuence during his life time, and there was no reason to sup pose that Guy would not step into very comfortably lined shoes. It was unfortunate that he should lose his father in such tragic way, and the keen eye of the world saw the weak point in his story at once. But the coroner's jury was respectful. and the rest of society never so much as h.nted at the possibility that Guy had not tried his best to keep bis father alive.
 Among the letters of sympathy the young fellow received a note from Lady Cantourne, whose acquaintance he had successfully renewed and In due course he called at her house in We're Gardens to express somewhat iameiy his gratitude.
 Her lndyship was at home. and in due course Guy Oscard was ushcred into her presence. He looked round the room with a half suppressed gieam of searching which was not overlooked by MfIllcent Chyne's aunt
