to the ward once more, where he was to
perform the hardest task that had ever
fallen to his experience.
He could never afterward remember
in what words he conveyed this terrible
message Of irresistible fate, but he hoped
the pity he felt made them fall with
lighter weight from his lips than if they
had come from stranger. They elected
no surprise, no terror, no grief There
was even something of satisfaction, con-
tetnment and relief in Bostock's manner
as he said:
Il thought SO; felt from the first that
| must go; it is better | should"
There was something of apprehension
and supplication in his voice as he turned
to Headwick and said:
Bring George Coris here at once and
don't delay"
No; your own solicitor?"
No; my will as already made. There
is something more that | must do, lose
no time he said, in an urgent, impatient
tone.
Something morc?" repeated Head
wick, startled, not so much by the words
he heard as by the feverish, breathless
manner in which they were uttered.
Yes. ! will make full confession be-
fore l die"
YOU" said Headwick, incredulously.
i George Bostock, said, raising his
bandaged head, the wild light in his eyes
lending a terrible expression to his
white, distorted face. 81 will confess
that L have murdered David Dunbar

in his eyes, his bloodless lips twitching
! convulslvely, the hand over which he
held power hung outside the coyerlet.
Seated at table before the bed was
George Coris, coming over the tesla
mentary declaration which had Just been
made; clerk, alert and shrewd, stand
ing just behind him; magistrate, whose
heavy countenane was lighted by grim
surprise, beside him; Mackworth, for
whom the solicitor had sent, keeping
near the door, attentive, grave and tri-
umphant; Headwick not far removed
the house surgeon and a sister at the
lower end of the room, watchful and
ready to give their services at this fate
ful moment.
1t was with something of relief that
they heard George Coris raise his clear,
distinct voice, and addressing the pa
tient, say:
Il will now read to you the confession
of murder you have made in the presence
OF a magistrate, and other witnesses
here assembled"
George Bostock moved his head by
way of response, his eyes fixing them

after a seconds pause, took UP the docu-
ment he had written and read it aloud
as follows:
Il, George Bostock, of my own free
will, and in anticipation of my inmedi-
ate death, do hereby make confession
that on the night of the 2Ist OF Septem-
Der last, | encountered the late David
Dumbarton in the Hixton Road near his
wite's house, whereupon a quarrel en-
sued between us which led to blows, and
ended by my inhicting wound upon him
from which he died few minutes later
IN the presence of his wife, whose pro-
lection he sought.
And | furthermore declare that I,
without solicitation or aid but in mo-
ment of passion committed this grievous
crime, the blame of which ] deeply de-
plore to have allowed to rest upon one
entirely innocent of its guilt. And in
token of the truth of these statements,
i take my oath in the presence of wit
ness and subscribe my name"
The oath was hurriedly taken; then
with feverish eagerness he held out his
hand for the pen with which he hastily
wrote his name. Then letting it drop
from his fingers, he, with an air of in
tense relief, lay back upon the pillow of
that narrow bed from which he might
rise no more, his face CHASTITY, his eyes
luminous, wild and fixed upon space, his
mind needless of what went on around
him, the appending of the witnesses sig
natures, the dispersal of the group which
had witnessed this scene, the approach
of the doctor.
George Coris fingered a moment at the
door while he spoke to Mackworth in a
subdued voice.
Il will undertake to do that, sir" the
inspector replied.
"You will see him at once?"
Eyes. l will drive to his place without
delay"
Then will leave the matter to you.
Don't forget to explain it was impossi-
Bile for me to call on him this evening"
81 will not forget, sir" Mackworth re-
piled.

the wound, removed the depressed por-
ton of the bone. Immediately after il
had been raised the patient opened his
eyes, and cosciousness returned
When he had been carried back from
the operation theatre to the private ward
he occupied, and was once more in bed,
one of the first persons he saw was
Headwick, who bent over and took his
hand.
Where am ?" the patient asked in
faint voice
'In University Hospital"
How long is it since the accident hap
pened?"
"Only last night. The surgeon thinks
you are doing well and will be all right
shortly"
Bostock heard the words with atten-
ton, and after considerable pause
asked
rs there any danger of-death?"
mot the least" Headwick cheerfully
answered
Bostock's dark eyes fixed themselves
on space; no sign of satisfaction, relief
or pleasure had shown itself upon his
face at the words which promised him
a continuance of life, nor did the thought
that filed him with inward emotion be-
tray itself to his friend, though its eff
feet was presently seen when the patient
gave a sudden gasp as if for breath
and then closed his eyes. In a moment
the sister was beside him.
"He has tainted" she said as she hur-
ried to apply restoratives.
The house surgeon, Just then absent,
was quickly called, and after attending
to his patient he turned to Headwick,
saying:
Il fear your presence has excited him,
and as he must be kept quiet you had
better leave now before he becomes con-
scious again
Headwick reluctantly took his depart
ure, nor was he, on calling in the after
noon, allowed to see Bostock. And next
morning, on presenting himself, the same
prohibition was extended to him, on
which he asked for the house surgeon.
When the latter appeared his manner
was grave, and on ifeadwick inquiring
if he might not see his friend, the sur
geon shook his head.

After you had left he said, there
was free bleeding from the wound, and
the pulse went up to eighty-eight. This
must have been caused by excitement.
Il know of nothing which could cause
him excitement" answered Headwick,
his mind going back to business affairs
rs he better now?"
81 am sorry to say he is much worse
the surgeon answered, quietly.
"Worse" exclaimed Headwick, appre-
hcnsively.
Eyes, there is loss of motor power in
the left arm, which I fear is gradually
increasing. There is as yet no loss OF
sensation, and he can freely move his
left leg
"Is loss of motor power a dangerous
symptom?"
''It is one which l regret to see," the
surgeon cautiously replied.
rs he conscious"
Quite
"Then pray let me see him; it may be
relief to him."
After some slight hesitation Headwick
was allowed to visit his friend, on the
condition that he did not remain longer
than five minutes. On Headwick enter
ing the ward Bostock looked at him eag-
erly, as if he had been long expecting
him. Headwick explained why he was
unable to visit him the previous day, add
ing that he was now permitted to re-
main only few minutes.
"Any news?" the patient asked, look
of apprehension in his feverish eyes, for
which his friend could not account.
mo, business goes on quite smoothly.
Set your mind at rest"
Il was not thinking of business" the
publisher said hastily.
"Of what them"

edy," he said with rapid utterancc

Serenade MIR. and Mrs. Clair Baker.
The Salem Military band visited
the Baker residence on Liberty
street Saturday evening and dis
coursed sweet music to honor Mr..
and Mrs. Clair Baker, who were re-
Gently married In Portland and ar
rived in this city Saturday. The
serenade was a complete surprise TO
Mr.. and Mrs. Baker, who were not
aware of the presence OF the band
boys until the harmonies of "Medi-
tation" were heard beneath their
window. Mr.. Baker who has been e
member of the band for several years
came to the veranda and In eloquent
words with his charming bride at his
side, made the boys to feel at home
and blushingly tried to explain his
sudden disappearance from the city
The guests then repaired TO the
spacious parlors where ice cream
and cake was served. At late hour
the musicians departed each wish
ing Mr. and Mrs. Baker all the nap
piness permissible to humanity.
