haunted man by his recital OF ECU.

to be saved years of agony and sus-
pense. A murder had been committed
in a certain neighborhood. and man
had been seen in the vicinity where
the crime was perpetrated. He him
self knew that he was innocent, but
feared to face or run the risk of trial.
Therefore, although cleverly disguised.
he ventured out only at night One
night be went to the gallery of thea
ter where Henry Irving was playing
and In listening TO the recital OF "Eu-
gene Aram" lost sight Of the fact that
Eugene really did the murder. The
great actor so wildly impaired the
happy sense of relieved conscience
which follows confession that the fol-
lowing day he gave himself up to the
police. The evidence was not strong
enough to convict. so he was able to
bravely face the world instead of
crawling about the earth the most mis-
cradle OF all creatures. haunted man.

he was a very sensitive man. Richard

window and went to bed.

Bill had passed away. He might have
