CHAPTER XXXVIII.
UNFORGOT.


The sharp sense of imminence which
had come to Barbara with Austen Wares
gift remained with her that evening The
dinner was none too merry. For the
first time Patricia had failed to be en-
Unused over the Nikko matsuri, and the
bishop, since Haru's disappearance. had
lacked his usual sallies. Barbara had
told him nothing of her visit to the house
in the Street-of- the Misty Valley; to
speak of it would probe her own wound
too deeply
As the musicians finished their last
number and trooped away, Patricia
yawned and rose. Here" she observed
sis where little Patsy puts her face and
hands to bed. This mountain air is per-
fectly demoralizing" The two girls went
upstairs together.
Barbara threw open the window of her
room and drew a low stool to the ball
cony. With elbows on the railing and
chin in hands, she looked long and earn
estly into the dark void. Why was she
no longer able to warm to all this beauty
and meaning?
She started. A horse was coming up
the HILL his hoofs thudding softly in the
loose shale. A moment later, crop in
hand, he passed beneath her window.
The light fell on his face. Barbara's
heart bounded and then stood still, for

There has never been another woman

to shout it satirically from the empti-
ness, and against the dark Hardu's face
rose up before her.
She shivered. She went in and closed
the window, drawing down the blind with
nervous haste.
But she could not shut out that face,
and in spite of herself her thoughts had
their will with her What was Daunt
doing there? Patsy had said that he
was in Chuzenji. But that was only a
handful of miles away. He looked worn
and older-he had been suffering, too!
He knew, of course. why she had ended
il all-Haru would have told him.
She clenched her hands and began to
pace up and down the room, now stop
ping to peer with bright miserable eyes
into the mirror now throwing herself
into chair. Once she put her hand
into her bosom, cropping for her fathers
picture-to withdraw it with an added
pang. For she had forgotten; she had
lost the locket the afternoon of her drive
with Patricia.
A knock came at the door. and bell
boy handed her a penciled note.
She read it wonderingly, then, hastily
smoothing her hair, went quickly along
the hall to the sitting room.
In the dimly lighted room a figure
come toward her from the shadow 1t
was Philip Ware.

Prior to the making by Mrs. Eddy
of her will on September IS, 1901, she
had taken up the delusion that her
son George had become possessed by
evil spirits under the influence of what
she called malicious animal magnet
ism, and had become hostile to her.
She had declared her intention to dis
inherit him, and she had also con-
ceived the same delusion concerning
her adopted son, DR.. Foster Eddy, and
had kept them both out of her pres
ence and away from her residence,
and had allowed to be expelled DR..
Foster Eddy from the Christian Sci
ence religious body. I give you here

my copyright of Science and Health and

it if my will was broken, and never name
this party in my will or name him to
whom it is assigned, whichever would
make it legal. Find this out at once. and
the way of conveyance of any copyright,
so that if my will should be disputed or
broken the publishing of Science and
Health and Unity of Good could. go on
without hindrance.
I shall assign the copyright of these
books to one or two. perhaps, of my stu
dents in equal shares, who I think has
done will do the best as publishers and
owners of these books.
Do not delay to ask a lawyer or judge
of the United States circuit court all
about this question of a legal conveyance
of copyright so that the ownership will
take place after the decease of the pres
ent owner. This conveyance to be made
outside of a will so that IT the will was

for the high school to become a coll

graduate, with but little reference to
the much larger numbers who take but

Herington, Feb. 16.-Mrs. Tom
Fart, 20 years old, committed sui
eide here last night by taking strych-
nine. The coroner was summoned
and an inquest is being held this
afternoon.
At about 1880 o'clock last night
Fart, who is employed as night
Waterman on the Rock Island, came
home for lunch. He found the
house dark and both doors locked
Repeated knocking brought no re-
Spouse. Finally, he kicked open the
front door, and, entering, found mis-
wife dead. DR.. Matteson who was
Immediately summoned, found an
unsigned note pinned to the young
woman's dress. 1t read as follows;
II did it myself" Fart said the
handwriting was his wife's.
Mrs. Fart bought strychnine at q
local drug store 8 or 10 days ago
saying she wanted 1t to use as rat
poison. She objected at first to
signing the poison register, but fin
ally did so. Her death was proba-
bly, due to strychnine poisoning. The
physician said life had probably been
extinct 2 or 8 hours when he ar
rived. The supper dishes were
found in the kitchen only partly
washed.
There was no known cause for
the deed. An unconfirmed rumor
has 1t that there was some slight
disagreement between Fart and his
wife last evening, but the latter had
evidently been contemplating suicide
for some time. The Earts were mar
ried last Thanksgiving day in Kan
sas City where the young woman's
family reside. She has no relatives
in Harrington. Fart has lived here
several years.
