An Eqe.Nog and a Telegram.

An Ese.Nos and a Telegram.
We had discovered Louise at the
lodge Tuesday night. 1t was Wednes-
day I had my interview with her.
Thursday and Friday were uneventful,
save as they marked improvement in
our patient. Gertrude spent almost
all the time with her. and the two had
grown to be great friends. But cer-
tain things hung over me constantly:
the coroner's inquest on the death of
Arnold Armstrong. to be held Satur-
day. and the arrival of Mrs. Arm
strong and young DR.. Walker, bring
ing the body of the dead president of
the Traders bank. We had not told
Louise Of either death.
Then. too. I was anxious about the
children. With their mothers inheri-
tance swept away in the wreck of the
bank, and with their love affairs in a
disastrous condition, things could
scarcely be worse. Added to that. the
cook and Liddy had a flare up over the
proper way to make beef-tea for
Louise, and, of course, the cook left.
Mrs. Watson had been glad enough.

care. and Thomas went upstairs night
and morning to greet his young mis-.
tress from the doorway. Poor
Thomas! He had the faculty-found
still in some old negroes, who cling to
the traditions of slavery days-of
making his employers interest his. 1t
