S Black lynx promises to be as fash ionable as last year, which will be welcomed as good news, for it is a becoming fur and can be worn for both day and evening occasions.

 Exactly We went to mothers rooms. where he was to remain. and they were empty. You did not see anything of him when you came?" she asked as if a sudden thought came to her from his question.
 Nothing. Indeed. I knew nothing Of his being here until I got that let ter, on which came to warn you. Did you go direct to your mothers rooms when you got here?''
 t-As soon as Horace had cut the tele- phone wire.''
 What. was it Horace who cut that wire?"
 Why, yes. Twas this way: We left cur horses back of the barn. ready in case we had to leave suddenly. Then we came across to the rear door ana were just going in when Horace stop ped suddenly and said. We'll not have him calling in help till we've got what we want from him. Wait in the pas sage and I'll go round and cut the telephone wire.' He opened the door and I stepped into the passage. It was sort of creepy waiting there. and it seemed a long time before he got back. When he did he said. John Al tenburg is in the kitchen and the rest of the house is dark. and that isn't light by a long shot. Just a candle We went in. expecting to find father downstairs waiting. but it was pitch dark. Horace ran upstairs and found that room dark and empty too. I was frightened. and think Horace was too. but he put on a bolder air He couldn't have gone to talk to John EAltenburg alone. could he? I asked E s1mpossible!' he said. but I knew by his tone that that was the very thing he was afraid of. I'll find out in a minute.' he added. He wasn't gone back. looking terribly pale and fright ened, and said. Something has hap pened John Altenburg is hurt and we must get him up to his room. We are the only people in the house. knew by that that father wasn't there. and knew. too. without his saying it. that he thought father had hurt John AL tenburg. Of course. I was more frightened when I saw how badly he was hurt. but I braced myself to the work and we got him upstairs
 "But when.'' demanded Grimble- shaw. in whose mind one fact de- manding explanation had held domin- ance over all others. "did your brother telephone me?''
 "He didn't telephone you at all," she replied Didn't I tell you he cut the wire before we went into the house?"
 Then the message had been sent before you got there! Who in time" !" and he stopped short. startled by the expression of her face Of course her father was the man at the telephone. and of course: but he stopped there with his thought and caught his. breath.

 possible, to get her mind to accept his version of the affair. that they will take him back to the asylum?''

WHAT SHE SAW AND DID AT THE
 ALTENBURG HOUSE.

Grimbleshaw was the first to recover from the shock of this sudden putting into words that which had knocked at the heart of each since they met. The time had come when he must give her actual help and not the mere pretense of it, or show himself wanting in all that was his ideal of manhood. Half the danger thus far. as he saw the situation now, arose from the lack of plain speaking, and he resolved to have done with that. even at the cost of wounding her again.
 Yes he said. but the most far fetched conclusion from that is that he came here and murdered -our uncle." She finched at the sound from an lpther's lips of that which she herself had been thinking and brooding over. and on the instant denial sprang to
 her lips. Then she seemed to feel that help for her must come from this man. if at all. and braced herself to the cruel ordeal which was before her. You declare you are convinced it

of stockings instead of one and both

Other combinations may be added to
suit the taste. All we have to do Ia
to notice which stocking gets the hole

Each contraction of the heart, by throw
ing the contents of the left portion of the
heart into the large artery called the aorta,
causes sudden change in the fullness of
the systemic arteries, which is manifested
by dilation of these vessels. When the
finger is placed upon an artery, such as the
radial at the wrist, slight compression by
the finger enables us to detect an increased
hardness in the vessel at each heart con-
traction. 1t is this increase of hardness
which constitutes the pulse.
