A ER. JEFFERSON was a lawyer who believed in letting people
 go to the devil in their own way. He and Richard Enfield, man lbout town, who was at once his dis hnt kinsman and his friend, often walked about the London streets to- kEetner. One day they came upon a Minister, windowless, two-story build Ing in byway. r# Enf1eld told of seeing man in this street run into a little girl, knock her Town and walk over her body. "It sounds nothing to hear, but 1t was hellish to see," he said. "I collared l khe man and held him, and though he made no resistance he gave me look 70 ugly that it set me in a sweat. He y4fered to pay damages and came to this house to get the money. He gave me 10 pounds in gold and check Eigned by a man knew. A forgery? Not a bit of it-perfectly good ]"
 Mr.. Utterson asked the name of the man. Enfield with some hesitation mid: His name is Hyde."
 ~You see don't ask you the name If the man who signed the check, for mow it already" said Utterson.
 That night the latter opened his safe md took from 1t will which he re- examined with care. It provided that jn case of the death of Henry Jekyll ! III his possessions were to pass to Ed ward Hyde, and n case of the disap- 1earance, or unexplained absence for hree months of said Jekyll, Edward Hyde should step into Jekyll's shoes without delay. As he studied 1t the kwyer said: "I thought 1t madness, lOw begin to fear 1t is disgrace"
 Hs decided to talk with Doctor Lan- Ons great physician and an old friend of Jekyll.
 'T see very little of Henry now" mid Lanyon. "He began to go wrong ,ome ten years ago. He became too ! hnciful for me-" .l
 Lanyon had never heard of Hyde. From that time forward Utterson Segan to haunt that sinister doorway nt0 which Hyde had disappeared. He determined to discover its owner. At l ast one night small plainly dressed nan approached and drew a key from his pocket. His look suggested de- s0rmity but did not show it. Utterson lccosted him and said: "Now shall knowyou again. It may be useful"
 Hyde gave his address in Soho, ad- mftted knowing Jekyll, and dis appeared within. Utterson turned away convinced that this loathsome little man had some dark hold upon Doctor Jekyll. In sorrow and in pity he went to call upon Jekyll who
 lived just around the corner. He was Eway. ..t
 To the butler Utterson said: 'T saw \ Mr. Hyde go in by the old dissecting room door, Poole, Is that right when Doctor Jekyll is away?"
 @Quite right, sir. MT. Hyde has a key" I= &
 ] Utterson went home with a feeling That some danger menaced his friend ! JekyiI. :.@ q Fe A year later London was startled by . singnlarly inhuman murder case. A housenaid, looking from a window, saw a man who resembled Mir. Hyde 4 strike down her master, venerable, white-haired man, and trample his body under foot in hellish fury. The Dld man was Sir Danvers Carew.
 The case came to Utterson who alone recognized the weapon which the assassin had dropped. It was a cane which he had himself presented to Henry Jekyll. It was another link ! In the chain Utterson took an officer to the address which Hyde had given
 The latter wass not at home. E ,-9 s,l5l. The house was empty, and nothing ! suspicious was to be seen except a pile of ashes on the hearth as if many pa, l pers had been burned. Among these ! the deteetive discovered a partially burned checkbook. Following this clue they located several thousand pounds \ Tt certain bank. ...... Hyde did not claim the money. He had gone away, swiftly and safely
 The next step was to visit the sinis
 Ter house, which was in truth a part of JekylRE property and knowni5as
