She had called policeman. who sent
for an ambulance. The ambulance
doctor found that Mr.. Elser had taken
poison.
It struck me as peculiar coinci-
dence that two persons so far apart in
the social scale as Katharine Parrish
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 decreplt poverty-re-
lentlessly. helplessly. TO self-destruc-
ton?
So deep was the impression made on
me by the coincidence that | took the
paper with me and read the account OF
Elsers suicide to Louise. Even as l
read it aloud. this ineXplIcable thought
came TO me with startling force:
Suppose that these two suicides at
the same hour were more than a mere
coincidence. Was It possible that the
same shadow had fallen on both these
lives? Had the same mystery driven
them TO a death-paCt?
II seemed absurd. 1t was unlikely
that Katharine Parrish had ever heard
Of Andrew Elser. II the family had
known him Louise would have men
toned It, And yet-why had these
two persons sought to die on the same
hour Of the same day? The question
would not let ME sleep that night
