friend: whose name he gave as Mr..
Walter Leigh, he said might come at
any moment, and that when he did he
was to be shown to his room at once. j"

HE was. The death was tragic, too.
Walter Leigh was killed on an AL
pine expedition. The strange thing
was that the news never reached my
husband before. This can only be
accounted for by the fact that he
spent the year of Mr.. Leigh's death in
England"
"All this confirms my theory" I
continued that your husbands brain,
long weakened by serious illness, sud
denly gave way. Brain trouble takes
all kinds of unexpected forms. Il be-
ieve that the form it. has taken In
Mr.. Mainwartng' case is this: He has
forgotten the recent years Of his life,
and has gone back to his old college
days. His letter to the professor who
has SO long been dead, confirms this
theory. His strange conduct with re-
gard to you further strengthens IT,

Mrs. Mainwaring that she consented
to accompany me to Boston and test

at once, reached the city Of culture IN

name Of Mainwaring. At my sugges-

the manager. and described her hus-
band to him.
"A tall gentleman, with a slight

with gray" repeated the manager. Il

maid conducted us to room No. 49, IN
response to our knock the door was
flung open, and Mainwaring stood be-
!: fore us. His wife rushed forward
and endeavored. to embrace him, but
he started back, and repulsed her
with an air of establishment which
was not feigned.
To what am indebted for this ex-
traordinary intrusion?" he inquired
haughtily. ! ..ts

stepped to the telephone as he spoke,
and requested the manager to come
to the room. In few seconds that
official arrived and Mainwaring ad-
dressed him in excited tones.
II have sent for you," he said, ITO
see that this man and woman leave
my apartment at once. They have
forced their way into my room and
have endeavored to perpetrate a dis
graceful hoax upon me. This female,
whom never saw before, has the au-
dacfty to claim me as her husband.

are impostors..''
The manager looked puzzled, as
well he might Mainwaring, although
excited, must have appeared perfectly
sane to an ordinary observer. I took
Mrs. Mainwaring by the arm and led
her into the corridor, followed by the
manager. The instant we left the
room Mainwaring shut and locked the
door.

AUTOMOBILE cARELEssNFss

Many Of the automobile accidents Of
the present are due to The contempt Of
danger which has been bred by long run
ming Of the machines, while others are
due to mere heedlessness That fatality
at Bennington, earlier n the week, seems
to have been Of the latter class, although
there might also have been an element
Of dare deviltry as contributing cause.
As the newspaper Veports told Of the
accident, however, the driver of the
wrecked automobile was not putting on
unusual speed and was not showing a
reckless disregard Of a slippery road,
such as attended the fatal accident near
Manchester, N IT., recently; but be was
thoughtless in watching for street car
tracks, and the thoughtlessness was
heightened by the fact that the automo.
