The somher expression deepened on
the face of the misguided Lysle,
sinister triumph was in his face as he
wrote his name on the back of the
check. but at the end directly remote
from that of his brother practitioner.
"As | understand it," he spoke in a
hot kissing tone, "one-half of this

Certainly"
ITO do as l like with it?" pressed
Lysle darkly.
Why, of course"
"Then-Solomon' Judgment" cried
Lysle, with a harsh grating laugh.
Give Ross his half. I'll keep mine"
Snip! In flash Lysle had snatched

as he heard the nurse in the next
room conversing confidentially with
visiting friend.
And, oh, my dear, what do you
think? The bank failed that the
check was drawn on and poor Doctor
Ross is robbed of his $4,000. And he
took it all with a smile, and when Doc
tor Lysle got sick here has paid his
nursing, and all his bills, and has kept
up his practice for him. He's got a
reward for his goodness, though"
How is that?" came inquisitively.

ooh, dear! no-all the time Doctor
Ross was in love with her cousin.
Ernestine-an heiress, too! And say

Juneau Lysie sank back with a
groan Oh, the folly of it all! Oh, the

when he had sent for Doctor Ross.
