Yet Katharine Parrish was the last person in the world of whom one would think in connection with sui eide. A quiet, reserved girl of great strength of character. several years older than Louise. her dignity and her well-considered actions had led me 10 believe her far less emotional than her younger sister.
 Tt was an accident, of course" said, though doubtfully.
 "Not" gasped Louise. shuddering anew at the thought of the horror she had just witnessed. 'T heard the shot and found her on the divan in her room. The revolver was still in her hand-her own revolver"
 For the first time it came to me with sudden vivid force that in the elder Sisters life. behind the smiling mask of reserve she always wore vas hidden some secret sorrow. 1 un- derstood, now, that far-avay look in her eyes. l felt there may have been there must have been-concealed the knowledge of some mystery that impelled her to this awful deed. Yet little did I suspect whither my efforts to find why Louise's sister had shot herself would lead me.

 As l strove to soothe Louise's agi tation the doctor appeared at the door way and imperiously beckoned me. l tried to persuade Louise to wait out side. but she clung to me like a frightened child and insisted on ac- me into the room.

Since her mothers death some years ago she had been practically head of the household. It was on her that he relied for every thing, and 1t was with her that he discussed all his business affairs Such association between them naturally had strengthened the bonds into far more than the ordinary father-and- daughter affection.
 My poor little girl-Katharine-my little Katharine" he moaned in tones of agony that wrung my heart for him.
 His first thought was to go to her, but the doctor forbade his presence in the room. 1 persuaded him to go to his own apartments. leaving him in the hands of his valet and promising to keep him informed as 10 Katha- rine's condition.
