and his slowly rising color told the tale
We should have thought that with the

His eyes "shone with excitement and
when he signed a check his hand trembled.
But his eyes. though they shone. were
'keen and cold as steel ITSELF" and that
certainly was relssuring. Ths stroke will
not be yet. we reasoned, both because OF
the clear and cold appearance Of the eye
and because this Ia only page ~.

that red and white lights swami and danced
before his eyes" that "his head whirled'
and that PRECIPITATION trickIed slowly
down his face" We feared for this MASTER
full man. It says "Denning suddenly
felt that he was going mad But not yet;
1t is still only page 1852. There was still
power within him, still discernment and
resource. He sprang TO his feet. Come

this awful torrent of thought, surging

Going hastily to the cupboard he drank
deeply; then sinking upon q couch near by
sank soon into a hea Wy sleep"
There was a son by the first wife. The
first meeting Of father and son, the son
being a man grown, was naturally re-
markable. "For a moment the two men
regarded each other silently, sternly; each
at the same time attracted and repelled
by the other; attracted by the mysterious
but irresistible tie of consanguinity, re-
PEELED by their utter unlikeness and lack
of affinity from a psychioal standpoint"
The first impulse of the son was to refuse
to shake hands, but he generously oon-
quered it.. As if in reward, there befell
him Immediately an interesting experience.
We read: AS their hands clasped. a
magnetic thrill from the ever dominating

the younger, so that their eyes met in a
more friendly glance, though each remained
nonoommittal, awaiting further develop
These resulted, OF course; but eve
at that moment, with the magnetic thrill
still working, the son must have been
thoroughly glad that he shook hands with
his father.
We feel 1t to be no betrayal Of a secret;
revelation Of anything not already FORE
seen, to say that apoplexy finished off tho
magnate at last. The papers said bigamy
in large letters, just as the fear had been,
and the other man was elected Governor.
At page $50 it may be read of the magnate:
His face grew almost purple, he straight
ened himself and raised his right arm as
about to speak. His lips moved.

the face Of one reposing in the calm majesty
Of superb strength" We were surprised
that DR.. Guthrie, in the course Of his funeral
should have quoted. How art thou
fallen from heaven, o Lucifer, son Of the
morning." but that is the doctors affair.
