eept that he was a lawyer. Several years ago he had given up his down town office Most of his income was derived from his fees as custodian of an orphan boys estate About four o'clock in the afternoon the landlady had heard noise in his room like that of body falling. On entering she had found him lifeless on the floor. She had called a policeman, who sent doctor found that MT. Elser had taken poison.
 It struck me as peculiar coinci- dence that two persons so far apart in the social scale as Katharine Farris h and Andrew Elser should have chosen the same hour of the same day to seek death. Was there something in as- trology after all? Had the stars de creed that both should die? Had some conjunction of the planets, some evil aspect in the Zodiac driven both of them-the young heiress, in the bloom of joyous youth, and the aged lawyer, in his deerepit poverty-re- lentlessly. helplessly, to self-destruc- tion?
 So deep was the impression made on me by the coincidence that I took the paper with me and read the account of Elser's suicide to Louise Even as read it aloud. this inexplicable thought came to ne with startling force:
 Suppose that these tWo suicides at the same hour were more than a mere coincidence. Was il possible thai the same shadow had fallen on both these lives2 Had the same mystery driven them to I death-pact?
 II seemed absurd t was unlikely that Katharine Parrish had eyer heard of Andrew Elser Ii the family had known him Louise would have men toned tt And yet-why had these two persons sought 10 die on=t the same hour of the same day? The question would not let me sleep that night.

 There was enough agony in the Far rish home without having this sorrow full secret blazoned to a curious world in three-inch type, without having a horde of reporters and camera men constantly surrounding the house Be sides, if Katharine recovered, sooner or later she would be sure to learn what the papers had said The knowl- edge that her foolish crime against herself had been thus sensationally proclaimed would be blow from which the sensitive girl-hitherto jealously shielded-Wouid never re cover.
