suffered more than the coal in

and Gregory in agitation asks Grace to
leave the room. Fran relates the story

who first claimed Fran's attention. In
a way, Grace Noir dominated the
place. Perhaps 1t was because of her
splendidly developed body, her beauty.

As for Mrs. Gregory. her mild eloof-

English Averse to Change.

There is nothing more amusing in
all the quaint and curious customs OF
the English house of commons than
the strange ceremony which marks the
termination of each session.
The moment the house is adjourned,
loud-voiced messengers and policemen
cry out in the lobbies and corridors:
who goes homer"
These mysterious words have sound
ed night after night for centuries
through the hall of parliament.
The custom dates from a time when
It was necessary for members to &c
home in parties. accompanied by mer
carrying links or torches for common
protection against the foodpads who
infested the streets of London But
though that danger has long since
passed away. the question who goei

COUGH DUE TO NERVOUSNESS
Not Dangerous, but Hard to Distin-
guloh From That Where Bronchial
Tubes Are Affected.

1t frequently happens that persons
hitherto in good health are suddenly
seized with fits OF coughing. which
they have considerable difficulty In
overcoming. Due to general neu-
rasthenic or hysterical nervous condi-
ton. this cough, owing to its particu-
lar characteristics. is termed the
nervous cough"
The nervous cough often cannot De
distinguished In any way from the
cough due to an affection Of the res
piratory passages. 1t sometimes oc-
ours in the form of periodical. pro-
longed and very painful fits OF cough
ing and sometimes as continual
short, dry cough. Its most character
istic symptom is that It ceases during
sleep and begins again on waking.
The patients. while often source OF
anxiety to those around them. are
generally otherwise in very good
health +,
Another peculiarity OF this cough is
the absence of any secretion, for even
after very prolonged fits of coughing
there is rarely anything noticeable
except a little saliva. Patients may
sometimes succeed in checking the

Fran tried to hide her emotion with
smile. but 1t would have been easier
for her to cry. Just because she OF the
patient brown eyes was Mrs. Gregory.
At that moment Hamilton Gregory
re-entered the room. brought back by
the fear that Fran might tell all dur

would have been II he could have
found her fiowni-but he read In her
face no promise of departure.

He paused wretchedly. seeing no out

must be told-not a lie, but possibly
not all the truth; that would rest with
Fran. He was as much in her power
as II she, herself, had been the effect
of his sin.

CHAPTER vi.
Mrs. Gregory.


The wind had suddenly increased
in violence, and a few raindrops had
already fallen. Apprehensions of a
storm caused hurried movements
throughout the house. Binding flashes
of lightning suggested gathering of
the family in the reception hall. where.
according to tradition. there was "less
DANGER" and as the unknown lady
opened the door of the front room.
Fran heard footsteps upon the stairs.
and caught a glimpse of Grace Noir
descending.
The lady closed the door behind her
before she perceived Fran. SO intent
was she upon securing from threaten
ing rain some unfinished silk-work
lying on the window-sill. She paused
abruptly, her honest brown eyes
opened wide.
The perspiration shone on Hamilton
Gregory's forehead. Just a moment"
he uttered erently-"wait-IYl be
back when l make sure my library
windows closed. :" He left the
room, his brain in an agony of inde-
cision. How much must be told? And
how would they regard him after the
telling7

wore an air of lassitude, as II peren-
nially tired. AS he leaned back in a
hall chair. he seemed the only one
present who did not care why Fran
was there.
Gregory broke the silence by clear
ing his throat with evident embarrass-
ment. A peal of thunder offered him
reprieve, and after its reverberations
had died away. he still hesitated.
This" he said presently, sis a-the

81 don't think" replied Fran. with
cheerful interest in his malady. that

Hamilton Gregory resumed, eau
tiously stepping over dangerous
groubd, while the others looked at
Fran, and Grace never ceased to look
at him. "She came here tonight, after

fact as If to lift himself over pitfalls
Grace's eyes were gravely judicial.
She would not condemn him unheard.
but at the same time she let him see
that her knowledge of Fran would not
help his case. 1t did not surprise
Mrs. Gregory that Grace had known
of the strange presence; the secretary
knew of events before the rest of the
family.
Gregory continued. delicately pick

he has sown. lying is always the next
course. But you must act as your
conscience dictates. You may be
sure that II you decide to tell the

that"
Helplessly driven to bay. he flashed
out violently. Unnatural girl-or
woman-or whatever you, are-there
is no spirit of girlhood or womanhood
in you"
Fran returned in a low. concentrat-
ed voice, "If I'm unnatural. what were
you in the Springfield days? Was it
natural for you to be married secretly
when the marriage might have been
public? When you went away to
break the news to your father, wasn't
1t rather unnatural. for you to hide
three years before coming back ?
When you came back and heard that
your wife had gone away to be sup

The door opened, and a woman en-
tered the room hastily.

If the tired spirit was bracing itself

The lady wore her wavy hair part

which perhaps was never new; and no
impudent ribbon or arrogant fiounce
stole ones attention from the mouth

"She's no prettier than l." was Fran's
decision. measuring from the natural
standard-the standard every woman
hides in her own breast.
And who is Franz" asked the mild
voice. The lady smiled so tenderly.
It was like a mellow light stealing
from fairy rose-garden Of thornless
souls.
Fran caught her breath while her
face showed hardness-but not against

Mrs. Gregory could not understand

That simple question. innocently
preferred, directed the course of fu-
ture events. Mr.. Gregory had not in
tentionally spoken of his friend in
such way as TO throw doubt upon the
sex. Now that he realized how his
wife's misunderstanding might save
him, he had not the courage to unde-
ceive her.
Fran waited for him to speak. The
delay had lost him the power to re-
veal the truth. Would Fran betray
him? He wished that the thunder
might drown out the sound of her
words. but the storm seemed holding
It's breath to listen.
Fran said quietly. my mother died
three years ago."
Mrs. Gregory asked her husband.
did you ever tell me about this
friend? I'd remember from his name;
what was it?"
1t seemed impossible for him to ut

his lips so often in love. He opened
his lips. but he could not say Jose
