Fay took both her aunt's trem-
bling hands in hers.
mot i'll, dear. You must be brave,
and let me tell you. Laurel died
in her sleep"
t'My Godp' The slim hands were
torn from Fay's grasp and seized
her shoulders in viselike grip.
"You cannot know what you are
saying, Fay! There must be some
hideous mistake. Not Laurel!"
Eyes, Aunt Clara. Doctor Green
is here, and the sheriff. Will you
see them?"
"The sheriff! Why, what does it
all mean?" She retreated to the
bed, sinking down upon it with her
fearless eyes gazing into space. ASK
Doctor Green to come to me, Fay.
And then II should like to he
alone"
Fay closed the door softly and
went down the hall 10 where the
doctor waited with the young police

the sheriff, who lowered in the
doorway.
The latter turned to the physician.
Anything suspicious about it,
doctor? Anything in my line of
work."
Eyes. That peculiar blush tinge
which has suffused the entire sur
face Of the skin. We find that usual
ly in cases of asphyxiation, an hy-
pothesis manifestly impossible in
this instance, since there was no IL
Eliminating or coal gas in the room,
the windows were wide open, and the
other occupant, Miss Fay, here,
seems to have been quite unaf-
fected."
Doctor Green drew chair up to
the bedside and possessed himself of
one of Fay's cold, listless hands.
MY dear, what can you tell me
of this? Did anything disturb you
during the night?"
Nothing. 1t was quite late, near
ly morning when the dance broke up
and the guests left. Being in
mourning, you know, l did not APP
pear, but the lights and music and
general hustle kept me awake, and
when Laurel came upstairs we had
quite dong talk. She was in the
very best of health and spirits, doc
tor in fact, remember that she said
she had never been SO happy before
in her life! Has Aunt Clara
been told?"
No, and it must be done i'm
mediately. Do you feel strong enough
to 60 to her?"
Fay hesitated, but only for mo-
ment. Then the old indomitable
spirit came to her rescue.
Il will go, Doctor Green"
The girl went slowly down the hall
and opened her aunt's door.
"Why, Fay, how you startled me
is anything the matter? Is Laurel
ill?"

miss Laurelp' The words came
in a strangled whisper from Martha s
lips. Miss Laurel, what is the mat
ter? Speak to mew
Her voice died away in her throat
and she laid her trembling hand for
a moment on the girls breast. Then
with half-stifled cry she turned and
fled from the room and down the
stairs.
CHAPTER V
An hour before noon, Sheriff
Hulse and Sergeant John Barry des-
cried the station car of the Tudors
approaching them at speed which
aroused all the formers professional
enthusiasm. He stepped out into the
road wit ha an authoritatively uprais-
ed hand and Frank came to a grind
ing stop.
81 am after Doctor Green, sheriff. :"
What's up?"
Don't know myself, but, accord
ing to Martha, it's sudden death and
looks unc6mmonly like murder"
"Murder" The Sheriff looked at
his companion Guess we will both
go right along with you, Frank
a., The two officials climbed into the
vaccine, and, as Frank started off
again, Sheriff HulSe asked:
"Tell us about it. One of the
guests of the party last night found
dead in the grouads?"
ono; it's Miss Tudor herself Miss
Laurel Tudor. When Martha took
chocolate upstairs to the two young
ladies Just now she found Miss
Fay all right, but she couldn't wake
the other one, and then discovered
that she was dead She didn't wait
to disturb Mrs. Tudor, but ran down
stairs to cook, and they decided to
have me go for Doctor Green"
A few words sufficed to explain
the situation to the country practi-
toner, and joined them in the
Tudor car, They found Martha, the
cook, and Louise awaiting them on
the side porch
In the meantime Fay, who had
stirred at Martha's first entrance,
found that sleep would not return to
her. She sat up upon one elbow and
called, Laurel softly, but, receiv-
ing ne reply, decided that she would
permit her cousin to sleep undis-
turbed.
Smcly Laurel was lying in pc
culiariy uncomfortable position! Her
head was hanging so far over, and
could it be that she was cold? There
was peculiar blush tinge to the
flesh of her arm.
Scarcely knowing what prompted
the quj,., half su;f ,a;,I ,ensation
of alarm which caught her by the
throat, Fay threw herself out Of bed
and approached that still figure.
Her work in the devastated re-
gions of France had brought her into
contact with death in so many vio-
lent, hideous forms that one glance
sufficcd to tell her the truth. With
wordless cry of horror she slipped

AS the unconscious form was

over the body lying on the bed.
He Strengthened, and there was a
peculiar hard CLINT in the direct gaze
which he bent upon the servant.
Is it the usual thing for Miss
Laurel and her cousin to sleep to-

yes. Since Miss Fay's return

then approached the nearest of the
windows. "See, the carpet and cur

little laugh. cts almost morning
Oh, Fay, dear, I'm SO glad you don't
care about-about Harry and me
There have been times when | al

me for being SO horried to you in my
thoughts?"
Fay laughed
''Of course, dear. I wish you and
Harry all the happiness in the world.
Good night
1t was nearly noon the next day
when Martha opened the door softly
and entered with the breakfast tray.
Outside, the wind swirled through
the trees and a hard, driving rain
slanted in at the opened windows.
With shiver the maid placed the
tray upon the table and went over
to close the windows. As she passed
the bed upon which Fay lay the
girl stirred sleepily and turned over,
but did not awaken, and from the
other bed there came no sound or
movement.
The younger girl was lying on her
side with one arm thrown up over
her head, which was almost buried
in the pillows, and her dark hair
fell over the side of the bed nearly
to the floor.
Martha hesitated for a moment
and then touched the bare arm light
ly.
The next instant she had recoiled
for the arm was icy cold, and now
fer the first time she noticed that
strange blush shade had crept
over the fair skin!
Laurel's lips had fallen slightly

Nothing Like It.

It was not until Thomas A. Edison
invented the monograph In 1877
that the world was enriched with
an apparatus which did for speech,
exactly what the Photographic
camera did for light. How original
was the invention Is shown by the
course of the specification In which
ii was first described in the United
States Patent Office. A patent is not
granted in this country unless the
invention that it discloses Is ew, new
in the sense that it is markedly diff
ferent from any related device that
may have been known or used be-
fore Edison filed his application
for United States patent on Decem-
Der "a, 1877. A patent was issued
to him on Sch. 10. 1878. Not a sin
gle reference as 1t is called was
cited against him; which means that
the examination Of the patent Office
had been unable to find descrip-
ton of anything even remotely like
his monograph in all the technical
literature that they were required
to ramsack in accordance with the
regulations.
