CHAPTER XXVI.-(Continued
He told Gwendoline how, from being
half amused, half gratifed, by Mrs. Gill
bert's unconcealed admiration of him,
so naively revealed in every look and
tone, he had, little by little, grown to
find the sole happiness of his life in
those romantic meetings; and then he
spoke of his struggles with himself, real
earnest struggles-his fight-his return
his presumptnous belief that Isabel
would freely consent to any step he
might propose--his anger and disappoint-
ment after the final interview, which
proved to him how little he had known
the depths of that girlish sentimental
heart.
She was only a child playing with
IRE, Gwendoline," he said, "and had not
the smallest desire to walk through the
furnace. That was my mistake. She
was a child. and 1 mistook her for a
woman woman who saw the gulf be-
fore her. and was prepared to take the
desperate leap. She was only a child,
pleased with my pretty speeches and
town-made clothes and perfumed hand
kerchiefs--a school girl; and l set my
life upon the chance of being happy with
her. VIII you try and think of her as
she really is, Gwendoline-not as these
Graybridge people see her-and be kind
to her when I am dead and gone?

have been very cruel to her, very I'M
Just, very selfish. I was never in the
same mind about her for an hour togeth-
er-sometimes thinking tenderly of her,
sometimes upbraiding and hating her
as a trickstress and a coquette. But l
can understand her and believe in her
much better now. The sky is higher,
Gwendoline."
If Roland had told his cousin this
story week before, when his life seem
ed all before him, she might have re-
ceived his confidence in very different
spirit to that in which she now accept
ed It; but he was dying, and she had
loved him and had been loved by him.
It was by her own act that she had
lost that love. She, of all others, had
least right to resent his attachment to
another woman. She remembered that
day, nearly ten years ago, on which
she had quarreled with him, stung by
his reproaches, insolent In the pride of
her young beauty and the knowledge that
she might marry a man so high above
Roland Lansdell in rank and position.
She saw herself as she had been in
ali the early splendor of her beauty, and
wondered if she really was the same
creature as that proud, worldly girl,
who thought the supremest triumph in
life ives to become the wife of mar
Quis.
Il will be her friend, Roland" she
said, presently. Il know she is very
childish, and l will be patient with her
and befriend her, poor, lonely girl"
Gwendoline was thinking, as she said
this, of that interview in the surgeons
parlOr at Gray bridge-that interview in
which Isabel had not scrupled to con-
fess her folly.
II ought to have been more patient, y
GwendOline thought; "but think was
angry with her because she dared to
love Roland. 1 was jealous of his love
for her, and could not be kind or toll

The Doctors Wife

passing servant in the corridor whom
she could question as to Mr.. Lansdell's
state. She waited With faint hope that
Gwendoline or the sick-nurse might come
out Of Roland's room; but she waited
in vain.
The western sunlight shining redly
through a lantern In the roof of the
corridor illumined the somber faces of
the dead Lansdells with a Fictitious
glow of life and color; pensive faces,
darkly earnest faces-all with some look
of the man who was lying in the cham
Der yonder. The stiffness of that long
corridor seemed to freeze Isabel's child
ish hopes. The Tapping of linen blind
outside the lantern sounded like the
huttering of a sail at sea; but inside
the house there was not SO much as a
breath or a whisper.
The stiffness and the suspense 81 "
uncomfortable. The doctors wife moved
away from the door, and crept nearer
and nearer the dark oaken door at the
end of the corridor-the ponderous bar
rier that shut her from Roland Lans-
dell. She dared not knock at that door,
lest the sound should disturb him. Some
one must surely come out into the cor
ridor before long-Mr. Raymond, or
Gwendoline, or the nurse-some one who
could give her hope and comfort.
She went toward the door, and sud-
denly saw that the door of the next room
was ajar. From this room came the
low murmur of voices; and Isabel re-
membered all at once that she had seen
an apartment opening out of that in
which Roland Lansdell lay-a large,
pleasant looking chamber, with a high
oaken mantelpiece, above which she had
seen the glimmer of guns and pistols,
and picture of a horse.
She went into this room. It was
empty, and the murmur of voices came
from the adjoining chamber. The door
between the two rooms was open, and
she heard something more than voices
There was the sound of low convulsive
sobbing; very subdued, but very terrible
to hear. She could not see the sick
man, for there was little group about
his bed, and a group of bending figures
that made a screen between her and
him. She saw Gwendoline on her knees
at the bottom of the bed, with her face
buried in the silken coverlet, and heI
arms thrown up above her head; but
in the next moment Charles Raymond
saw her, and came to her.
Come away, my DEAR" he said, soft
ly; "come with me, Isabel"
ooh, let me see him! let me speak tc
him! Only once more-only oncep'
HNever again, Isabel-never upon this
earth any more! You must think of him
as something infinitely better and bright
er than you ever know him here.
never saw such smile upon a human
face as saw just now on his"
She had no need of any palmer words
to tell her he was dead. She felt the
ground reel suddenly beneath her feet
and saw the gradual rising of misty
darkness that shut out the world anC
closed about her like the silent waters
through which a drowning man goe:
down to death.

MURDERS AROUND CHICAGO.
Brutal killing of Women Has
Stirred Up Whole City.

Chicago citizens are discussing ways
and means to check murders and rob-
berries throughout the city. The fiend-
ish killing of Mrs. f. G. HOLSTER on
Friday night has thoroughly aroused
the authorities and citizens generally.
A movement by all interests in the city
toward safety and more adequate pro-
lection to the individual, especially
women, is the result. One thousand
more pol camen are demanded.
In a revolving murder, the circum-
stances OF which are unparalleled in
the criminal annals of Chicago, Mrs.
Franklin G. Hollister, a woman of re-
fnement, choir singer and philan-
thropic worker, met her death in a
dark alley on the North Side Friday
night at the hands of Richard G. Ivens,
degenerate son of a carpenter. While
Mrs. HOLSTER was undergoing the fear
full experience which resulted in her
death several women friends and fell
low choir singers were expressing deep
establishment at her absence from the
morning.
Following is a list of the very recent
wanton and atrocious murders of wom-
| en- in Chicago:
Mrs. E. T. Mize, murdered at Fifty
eighth street and Washington avenue by
a man whose identity is not known,
Aug. %, 1905.
Miss Maude Reese, murdered in her
fiat, 200 Evanston avenue, by a man
| whose identity is not known, Nov. u,
1905.
Mrs. Carl o. Almberg, murdered by
| J. e. Moeller in an alley off North Clark
street and Buckingham place, Jan. 5,
1906
Mrs. A. w. Gentry, murdered in her
apartments, $50 La Sale avenue, by a
man known as f. ]. Constantine, Jan.
6, 1906.
Mrs Franklin G. HOLSTER, murdered
in the rear of 36S Belden avenue by
Richard Ivens, Jan. II.
From the pulpit the cry of alarm
was given Sunday. A mass meeting of
| citizens was announced. Resolutions
were adopted on the subject at the
ministers weekly meetings. Laymen
| generally expressed their approval of
the stand of the clergymen.
The Rev. J. N. Hall, pastor Of her
church, referred to the crime and to
their loss. He said:
when we think Of the atrocious
crime which has taken from us one of
| our members it is evident that only the
power of the gospel makes possible our
marvellous restraint at this time. While
we do not cry for revenge, we do de-
mand justice, and it is our hope that
out of this wanton murder will come
a greater protection for the women of
Chicago and the greater safety of the
| home"
The Daily News says: Where muir
der is so frequent as it is in Chicago,
and where the murderers so often Sc
! lect women as their victims, these
crimes cannot be regarded as mere
sporadic outbreaks. They indicate a
widespread and dangerous contempt
for law and defiance of organized So
ciety. Furthermore. they show that
| Chicago has within It's borders a spirit
Of animalism which causes men TO kill
for the mere pleasure of killing.
