haven't had a trace of rheumatism
since.
Then last summer my stomach got
out of order, | lost my appetite and
what little | did eat made me feel
bloated, all stuffed up and miserable.

and was so nervous l couldn't sleep.

Her anxiety and the sense Of their re-
sponsibility for Alan OVERRIDE ut once
all other thought. She told the serv-
ants to call her father at the Office
and tell him something was wrong at
Mr.. Corvet's; then she called her maid
and hurried u to the motor.
ITO Mr.. Corvet's-Quicklyw she di-
rected.
Looking through the front doors Of
her car as 1t turned into Astor street,
she saw a young man, carrying a doc
tors case, run up the steps Of Cor
vets house. Constance recognized
him as a young doctor who was start
ing In practice in the neighborhood. He
was just being admitted as sne and
her maid reached the steps. Alan stood
holding the door open and yet block
ing entrance when she came up.
"You must not come in !" he denied
her; but she followed the doctor so
that Alan could not close the door
upon her. He yielded then. eca she
and he's maid went Oh into the hall.

Oh, I'm glad l haven't used much OF
his money! Hardly any-not more
than ! can give back 1t wasn't the
money and the house he left me that
mattered what he really left me was
just this %dishonOr, shame :"
The doorbell rang, and Alan turned
to the door and threw it open. In the
dusk the figure Of the man outside was
not at all recognizable; but as he en-
tered with heavy and deliberate steps.
passing Alan without greeting and
going straight 10 Constance, Alan saw
by the light in the hall that it was
Spearman.
whats up?' Spearman asked.
'"They tried TO get your father at the
office and then me, but neither of us
was there. They got me afterward,
at the club. They said you'd come
over here; but that must have been
more than two hours ago"
His gaze went on past her to the
drawn hangings Of the room TO the
right and he seemed to appreciate
their significance; for his face whit
ened under it's tan, and an odd hush
came suddenly upon him.
rs 1t Ben, Connie?" he whispered.
Ben . come back?"
He drew the curtains partly open.
The light in the library had been eX-
tinguished, and the light that came
from the hall swayed about the room
with the movement of the curtains and
gave q ~momentary semblance Of life
to the face of the man upon the couch.
Spearman drew the curtains quickly
together again, still holding to them
and seeming for an instant to cling to
them then he shook himself together,
threw the curtains wide apart, and
strobe into the room. He switched On
the light and went directly to the
couch; Alan followed him.
"He's-dead?"
"WhO is he?" Alan demanded.
Spearman seemed to satisfy himself
first as to the answer TO his question.
How should / know who he Isl" he
asked. "There used to be q wheelslman
on the Martha COrvet years ago who
looked like him; or looked like what
this fellow may have looked like once.
l can't be sure"
He turned to Constance. you're
going home, Connie? I'll see you Owe
there. I'll come back about this after
ward. Conrad"
Alan followed them to the door and
closed ii after them. He spread the
blankets over Luke. Luke's coats,
which Alan had removed, lay upon a
chair, and he looked them over for
marks of identification. a side pocket
produced an old briar; there was moth
ing else. Then Alan walked restless
ly about, awaiting Spearman. Spear
man, he believed. knew this man |;
Spearman had not even ventured upon
modified denial until he was certain
that the man was dead and then he
had answered so as not to commit
himself, pending learning from Con-
stance what Luke had told.

Sort Of Absent Treatment.

Up on the avenue an old colorcd
man who pCddles coal by the basket,
stopped in a poOlroom and asked the
proprietor: "Need any coal today?"
"NOpe," was the reply.
Turning to two loafers sitting be-
hind the stove, the old colored mar
asked: Does you all need any coal
at your house today?"
NO" was the reply.
SO the old man left the poolroom
and as he started to climb back on
his wagon he stopped n minute TO pat
his old horse on the back and say /:
