THE EVENING STORY.
An Unreasonable Cure.
Copyright. 1915, by ". Werner,

When ELY Danforth came out OF Dr..
crisp's office that January morning she
knew that he had done for her all ne
could do. Moreover. she felt vaguely
that perhaps he had done for her all
anybody could do. His attitude IN
tended to convey this possibility. When
he had suggested her going to spe-
cialist whom he named in New YORK
she felt her heart sink. 1t was as II ne
had consigned her to the ranks OF the
incurable.
She walked slowly home. thinking
about her case. She was deeply de-
jected. The few people whom she
passed upon the quiet streets looked
at her, she thought, with pity. fer-
haps they already knew!
She was glad to get into her own
house out of sight of every one Ihe
first thing she encountered on closing
the door behind her was her own re-

through a. least three generations OF
Danforths. She looked so thin and
white and strange that she scared
herself. ghost could not have i'm,
pressed her more horribly. She covered
her face with her hands and from
every corner of the room seemed to
breathe a whisper, Lost! LOST!
Presently she removed her outdoor
things and sat down to reflect. she
was forty-three years old. Her mother
had died at forty-three. She shuddered.
She did not want to die at forty-three.
That was too soon for a woman who
had all that she had to live for She
was unmarried. she had money, she
had her house to herself. and it was a
very nice, comfortable house full of
books and pictures and soft rugs and
deep chairs. with a talking machine
and piano player to make music for
her whenever she wished it She was
highly considered in the little quiet.

ordered exactly to her liking, and she
had been cozily happy until now. Now

garded herself as doomed,

that sad wisdom which strikes despair

had replied cheerily. There was your
mother. you know. and your grand,
mother-and your Aunt sally-all

had known the whole family.
Inherited snerves. ELY lifted haggard
trio who had burdened her with their
own curse. They were all dead and
she might soon be, even with all that
life in her which rebelled against such
fate.
Il suppose there is no use." she
thought. "Dr. Crisp knows. He and his
father before him doctored them all.
! am going the same way. Oh, 1t is
frightful! Nervous prostration and
a deep breath. IF I thought that
specialist in New York could do any
thing for me I'd go to him. I'd go to-
morrow. I've great mind to go any
the worst. And ! can't live this way."
An hour later Ely was calling up a
plumber to come and shut of the
water and prepare the steam furnace
for months inactivity Two hours
later she was packing suit case with
a few necessaries. Three hours later
she was drawing some money at the
bank-a large sum. for the wisdom of
specialists comes high.
That night she did not sleep. At
dawn she rose. made herself a cup of
black coffee and dressed with shaking
fingers A dose Of bromide steadied
her. and when the cab came to take
her to the train a veil hid her
wretchedness from the curious gaze of
beholders.
It was long time since ELY had
been to New York or anywhere else
ten years at least. She had stayed
in Westmore all that time. just as
everybody else did. The novelty of the

When the play was over she came out

up another taxi and sought her hotel.

At luncheon it occurred to her that she

forth: I can't believe it. ELY. when
did you come? Where are you stay
ing? And where are you going?"
Ely told her. She had been very
friendly with Alice before she married
the broker with whom her brother was
engaged in business in New York. AS
consequence she gave up the blouse
and they went sightseeing instead. And
afterward they phoned Mr.. Ashbrooke.

did not know a thing until o'clock

that she had promised to be at Alice
