Nlizare was not IN sight; so Samson
crossed the street, sat down on the low stone
parapet that separated the road from the
river, and waited, scanning the empty street,
and casting anxious glances into the dense
LEAKAGE of the Manor grounds In the silence
a cracking noise came 60 him, and once he
thought he caught flash of light in the deep
green. Finally over the tops he saw thin,
smoky haze, and drew a deep breath of sat
isfaction. Once those timbers, drying
through the centuries, got fairly alight, no
appliances nearer than London could ex-
tinguish the conhagratlon.
The blue vapor above the trees increased
in volume, and the doctor rose to his feet
with long sigh of content. Mizare had just
emerged from the telegraph office, and had
started westward toward him. DR.. Sanson's
hands were in the side pockets OF his morning
Jacket. He strolled in leisurely fashion to
meet his antagonist.

"Your name Sir, your name" Again the
clenched hand struck the table. Suddenly
it tore open his shirt at the throat. The
dancing light cast fantastic shadows on the
face framed in the doorway, and in them
once more had flashed the strange smile and
white teeth. Then-the frame was empty.
MO sound came back from the deserted
- street. The doctor, hesitating at every
step, passed to the veranda and listened.
As he stood there the whistle of a train
foated to him across the city-or was it
across the years? Inside, his study was un-
disturbed. Under the hooded lamp was a
cigar, glass of wine and the diagram. AS
his eyes rested on the large triangle he
seemed to see pyramid with its burial
chamber exposed; but in a flash, as from a
faraway impression renewed the symbol
yielded spiritual meaning,--the growth Of
life without from life within, its boundaries
shifting and enlarging as the generations
arose. His eyes sought again the open door,
and a strange peace enveloped him.
IL wonder he said.

slowly, with 1abored effort, the doctor
lifted his eyes and encountered the smile and
cleaning teeth. He shrank back with faint
shudder There was on a sideboard nearby a
uecanter and glasses. Still keeping his eyes
on the face under the lamp, he drew farther
away, and with hands that shook in spite of
his trained nerves he poured out two glasses
of wine and extended one to his strange guest.
Drink" he whispered.
The other laughed silently. Good! To
the man we have reassembled.' His head
was thrown back and glass poised.
But the other glass slipped from the doc
tors hand and cinked on the floor His face
took on a CHASTITY hue.
"What is that" he said choklngly, point
ing to livid streak that almost encircled the
neck of the man opposite. The others hand
went instinctively to his throat, and his chin
sunk quickly into his collar.

at is true, David, nevertheless. Tell
them they cannot save the Manor House,
and urge them not to try. There is no wind,
and even the nearest houses are safe. It's
a pity about the old Manor House, with its
beautiful architecture.

fed magistrate.
"Tell the Chief of Police when he comes,
David, that he will find me in my library,
and with that the old doctor turned. And
so potent is the effect of a reputation that
no man tried to intercept him-and it was
not the smoking pistol that held them back.
THE Chief of Police found the doctor
Seated at the library table. The gray
head was laid upon the open pages OF 1.-The
Illustrated London News that contained
the pictures Of the trial of John Kane. The
doctor had drunk prussic acid, and was dead.
Here follows the statement that he wrote
for the information of the Coroner's Jury:

years ago for the murder of his cousin, whose

elapsed since that trial, | imagine that John
Kane's mind became embittered at the
whole human race, and that he set about
deliberately to eliminate from the world
every living creature on its surface.
"For some purpose inscrutable to us who
believe in the justice and mercy of God, He
created an insect SO prolific and so fatal to all
vegetable life that the continued existence
of every other living thing upon the earth

created the danger, established the antidote
that has hitherto proved effective; for the
insect is in turn DESTROYED by other insects.

The portion of Mr.. Wickersham's adj
dress that aroused the most enthusiasm
was in reference to the administrator
prosecution of trusts.
'Friend and foe have been treated
alike" he declared with much earn
estness. And it has been truthfully
said that the abuse which has peeen
visited upon the President has been in
a large measure because he has en-
forced the law against friend and foe
alike without fear or favor"
Mr.. Wickersham spoke for over ain
hour and at the end of his speech held
a short reception.
