she held a beautifully dressed baby in
her arms. She bent down and showed
me the little fellow: then at a sign
from me she laid it by my side. I
kissed it, aud was happy as mother
could be.

Il made a quick recovery, but was
astonished to see that Doctor Colett
no longer attended me. Another very
excellent Observation-Disclosures Mason
came to e me, however, and I did
not suspect the truth. When the boy
was a fortnight old, the nurse came
to me one day and confessed what
had really occurred. A few moments
after the birth Of my baby Doctor
Collect had become seriously i'll, and
had been obliged to hurry away, leav-
ing the case with the nurse. When
he left the house, the baby had shown
signs Of weakness and want of proper
circulation; he thought its life might
be saved, however, and intended to re-
turn again within half an hour. As
a matter Of fact, ten minutes after
Doctor Collett left the child died. The
nurse sent a hasty message to the
doctor, telling him that the baby was
dead. Two hours afterward she was
startled by getting a message to the
effect that Doctor Collect had died
suddenly. Dayrell. who had spent the
entire day in the house, was pacing
up and down in the drawing-room
when she ran In to tell him what had
happened.
"'This will kill Sir John.' he said.
"'And Lady Tregenna, for that mat.
ter replied the nurse. They built
so much on that child
"Dayrell stood looking at her for a
few moments without speaking.
"'You are not well OF, nurse?' he
Quer!ed at last.
"she admitted that she was not:
also that she had a sickly child Of
her own. who depended altogether on
her exertions to support 1t.
"'You shall stay on here, at q high
salary, as the child's nurse he said.

Tregenna's face grew crimson. Il
see you observe what I notice my.
SELF" he exclaimed. 1.-The fact is.
there is no accounting for women. I
thought that she would have been
wild about the lad. but as q matter Of
fact, she isn't. Not that she neglects
him; far from that. She gees that
he is we'll looked after. and has him
brought to her once or twice daily,
but she never pets him. 1 sometimes
think I bore her by the delight which
the possession Of the child causes
me; but there-we will say no more
about it. I am keeping you up, and
you must be tired"
He conducted me to my room, babe
me goodnight and left me. I went to
the window, and flung it wide open.
Suddenly a longing to steal down.
stairs and go out for a ramble seized
me. No sooner did the notion come
to me, than I acted upon it. The
house was already shut up, but I
made my way to a side door, which
I unbarred, and let myself out. l wan
dered down the broad central avenue
l was walking on the grass and not
making the slightest noise, when
voices startled me. They seemed to
be close by. I stepped into a deep
shadow. The first words l heard we're
in Lady Tregenna's tones.
II cannot go on with this much
longer, Dayrell," she cired. 81 cannot
possibly give you what you ask, for 1
have not got it. Here. If you must
have it. take this ring; it is of great
value. If he misses it from my finger
I can but tell him another lie."
l saw her hand something to a man
who stood near, then she turned alb.
ruptly and walked back to the house.
AS DON as she had left him, the man
turned to leave the grounds. l made
up my mind to follow him. He
reached a stile, which he mounted,
and which led direct into the high
road. Still keeping my distance, I
did the same. Presently, in the ex-
IRENE quiet Of the night, he stopped
still, as if he we're listening. The be-
lated moo arose at that instant. ana

turning suddenly, he saw me. He
halted and waited for me to come up.
by Jove," he cried, as l ap-
preached. Il know who you are.
Your name is Halifax-you are a spe-
cial chum of the governors; you came
to the manor today"
I glanced at him; his features were
not unlike Sir Johns, but they were
much bloated, as If with excessive
drinking. His lips were thin and
cruel, his eyes too closely set to-
gether. I made no response to his re-
mark, but continued to look at him
steadily.
IF you witnessed an interview back
there" he said, harshly, you will do
well to say nothing to Sir John about
it. Lady Tregenna will find herself
in a fine scrape If anything happens
to make me cut up rough. Goodnight
to you"
He vanished down a side path, and
I slowly returned to the house. I
kept my own counsel regarding the
meeting Of Lady Tregenna and Day
rell in the grounds, nor did I see him
again. I returned to New York after
a weeks visit, and being much occu-
pied, had little time to think about
Tregenna's private affairs. A year
had passed away. and l found myself
in London again. this time as a dele
gate from the American Medical as.
ISOLATION to the international conven.
ton Of surgeons and physicians then
being held In the British metropolis.
The business Of the convention had
just come to a close. when l was sur
prised to receive a communication
from Lady Tregenna, worded as fol.
lows:
"Dear Doctor Halifax: Having
heard that you were attending the
medical convention. I made haste to
write, and implore you to come down
to the manor for a few days. Sir
John Is In Scotland at present, but I
have several friends staying in the
house, and II you come I can promise
you that you will not have q lonely
time. I am extremely anxious to con-

The instant I made this discovery
there flashed through my mind a pos.

slightly startled look. She walked
down the corridor and opened a side
door which led into a shrubbery, and
I followed.

with your mistress yesterday, in
which she told me the history Of the
child, which she believes to be true.

are some questions to be answered.
Where was buried the real baby to

find the child who was substituted?' '

I turned and saw Dayrell standing
before me. He looked more bloated

The InsOlence of ANDY.

Andy Carnegie has come for
ward with another sensational
stunt, being nothing more nor less
than a proposal to pension Ex-
Presidents of the United States in
the sum Of $25, 900 year.
The proposal is an insult to the
American people which should not
be permitted to pass unrebuked.
If man who has served this coun-
try as Presidentshall be pensioned,
the American beople will pension
him.. without the aid Of this self
ish parvenu who has dishonesty
thrived upon the honest labor of
more worthy men.
If Carnegie really desires to ex-
pend his ill-gotten gains in phil
anthroic works, let him instead

A Whompergoddled Old World.


/ can close my eyes just now
and get a vision Of a great city,
/ don't know its name-in fact, I
suppose it isn't any particular
city-but there is in it the typical
life of every city. There is pride,
fashion, gayety, and much
money. There is the mad chase
after what people call pleasure.
There are, the false and super
ficial standards Of value, bloster-
ed up by a crazy commercialism
that knows no reason.
The society set," wherever
you find it, is a pitiful aggrega:
ton. It always sneers at real
merit and emphasizes the things
that are least worth while. Thru
the eyes of SNUG Journalism
everything is seen in a distorted
shape and entirely out Of pro-
portion.

Crap-Shooting.

A subscriber has asked me to
write Sermon on Crap.Shoot-
ing. All right, Buddy, with the
greatest of pleasure. When it
comes to talking about crap
shooting I am whole team, in
Guiding brides and harness.
I was fotched up ON the farm,
and that's where | learned so much
about crap-shooting. Now there
are some craps, you understand,
that don t shoot much. The corn
crap is about the best shooter | can
think of just at this writing, and
l have been acquainted with some
corn craps that we're not very good
marksmen.
When | was a boy they used to
tell me it was dangerous to walk
through corn field about shoot
ing time, and remember on a
certain occasion, that our crap shot
and missed the stalk. Looks like
a crap that can't shoot better than
that ought to give up its gun.
Well, Buddy, l suppose there
may be a few other craps that do
little shooting, but they are not
officially recognized, and so | am
going to cut off this sermons tail
right close up behind its ears.

made from the air.-News item.
When earth's last hen-house has

And the pullets discouraged have

Waen the old rooster fails to awake
With his cackling harem by his

We shall sing and, faith, we shall
profit,
Save gold for an auto Or so,
When the hen-berries fall from the
heavens,
And the price Of eggs will be low.
And those who like eggs shall be
happy;
They shall sit in the breakfas t
chair
And indulge in a golden omelet
Made out of the morning air.
And eggs will be better than ever,
Whether boiled or scrambled or
fried, ..s.
And the farmer can GO to the devil,
For the beautiful breeze will pro-
vide.

Harnessed scholastically,

Listened to critically,
Dosed with the "ologies,"

Crammed pedagogically,

Reared thus aggressively,

Wearied Internally,

Never cry "Quit" to it?

How blind is he who prays that God

All pain from earth. Pain has its use
and place;
Its ministry OF holiness and grace,

With light and color; and their shad-

The painting half its dignity. Effac

OF that perfection which is true arts

Life is an artist, seeking to reveal
Gods majesty and beauty in each

The precious pigment pain, why they

Would glare with coiors, meaningless,

Or show an empty canvas blurred
