Such a remedy is L)r John Bull's Sarsa-

for the weaknesses and distress incident to
and following a condition of disordered
female functions. It revives, strengthens,
and regulates the feminine constitution.
Mrs. Mary F. Wilkinson, Jackson, Tenn.,
writea:
"1 waa a very healthy woennn before my

began making entries as coolly aa if
nothing oat of common had occurred.
So calm, ao composed, ao inscrutable
was he that Donson, wound up to a
pitch of intense excitement and nervous-
ness, felt he oonld willingly horsewhip
him for his imperturbability.
Cathcart turned to Fassett abruptly.
"You know 1 am going to lock you
up. Is there anything you want to do
here?"
The question startled the physician,
but he collected his thoughts.
"Not here," he replied after a moment.
'There is something I do want to da
Write?"
Cathcart did not comprehend him.
"Write at my dictation," ordered the
physician sternly.
The old detective wrote the names of
a number of people, with their addressee,
as dictated by Fassett When he had
finished, the physician said:
Those are the names of patients who
are dangerously ill They are likely to
die if they do not receive proper medical
attendance. Send that list to Dr. Al-
ii n^ham. Let him attend them; he is
competent."
Dorison looked upon the man with
open mouthed astonishment
"Great heavens!" he said to himself.
"Here is a man who by his own con-
fession has killed three people and wishes
to kill a fourth, yet at such a time takes
the precaution to save the lives of
others."
"Is that all?" asked Cathcart.
"No; I want to write a letter to that
obstinate old fool, Dr. Roy, with whom
I have had a controversy on heredity.
could have overcome him if 1 could have
cited my own case in proof of my con-
tention that the impulse to crime Is an
hereditary tendency. I want to do it
now. Then I want to make my will.1
"I* this bravado?" asked Dorison in
thought. "Or a phase of human nature
of which I have had no conception?"
"Loosen my hands until 1 can do these
things and 1 will thank you. I will at-
tempt no harm to you."
"1 am not afraid you will," said Cath
cart as he helped the physician to hobble
to his desk with the roller top. Having
seated his prisoner he loosened his hands.
Throwing up the top, the doctor began
to write hastily. From time to time he
responded his work, leaned back in his
chair with his eyes on the ceiling as If
thinking profoundly, playing with the
locket dangling from his watch chain.
There was no agitation, no nervous-
ness, no trepidation. He could not have
written more composedly, nor with
greater concentration of mind, had his
hands been free from blood and his soul
unstained by crime.
He wrote a long time, and when he
finished he inclosed the sheets he had
filled In an envelope, which he addressed
and handed to Cathcart.
"You will do me the favor to hand
that to Dt. Roy. He can't answer that
argument Now for the will."
He thought a moment. Now it was
he betrayed an agitation he had not pre-
viously shown. In his nervousness he
wrenched the locket he played with
from his watch chain. Apparently un-
conscious of his act, he placed it in his
mouth, turning it over and over and bit-
ing it Finally he spat it out on the
desk, ruined.
Oh, this will never do," he cried, and
addressed himself to the work of draft-
ing his wilL it was the work only of a
moment
When he had finished he said:
"You two must witness this—my wilL
It is brief. Let me read it
'1, Arthur Fassett, physician and
surgeon, being of sound mind and health,
but in the face of death for crime com-
mitted, do will and bequeath all the
property, whether it is money, stocks,
bonds, chattels, houses or real estate bf
whatever kind of which I am possessed
at my death, to the Home hospital.'
"I have no relatives," he added bit-
terly. "My family have all died either
in prison or on the gallows. So no one
will contest the will."
The two signed as he desired—Cath-
cart as a matter of course; Dorison, with
strange emotions.
Having appended his own name, he
handed this also to Cathcart
At this moment there was a stir at the
front door. Cathcart told Dorison to
adnlit the officers. As they entered the
room tbe old detective said:
"Handcuff this man."
"It is useless," said the physician,
do not intend to resist."
"Perhaps," replied Cathcart dryly and
cynically. "Do as 1 tell you, officers.
The physician said appealingly:
"Let me sit here a moment—only a
moment—it will not be for long. I shall
not detain you long—long—It is—not—
for"
Cathcart sprang to him.
The physician's chin had fallen on his
breast and bis eyes were glazed and
rolling.
He roused up with an effort
"It is near the end," he said chok-
ingly. "1 have taken poison. Death
grips me. In forty seconds 1 will be
dead. 1 had it all ready for this emer-
gency."
He sank immediately into a stupor,
and within the time he had predicted
his heart ceased to beat
Overcome by this culmination of the
past hour's excitement weakened as he
was by the injury he had received,
Dorison fainted.
tl. aa —uv. _ ▼ i l
An unconsciousness closed upon him,
he dimly heard Cathcart say:
"He has cheated the gallows."
When Dorison was restored the old de-
tective was bathing his head. Looking
about him he saw the physician stretched
upon the floor, calm in death.
said to Dorison:
"Come. We will go."
Dorison followed him out into the
street, feeling aa If he had escaped from
a charael house. They walked to Fonrth
avenue, indeed to the Bowery, before
either spoke. Then Dorison asked:
"Where did he get the poison?"
"It was concealed in that locket He
opened it in his month. I ought to have
my head cuffed for not taking precau-
tions."
"It is better as it is," said Dorison.
They walked som« distance before
Cathcart replied.
"Perhaps," he said. "The lesson is
the same. Crime cannot be committed
without detection. Well, the whole
search is over. You can assume your
own name. It is cleared. 1 have done
all 1 set out to do. I can do no more. 1
close the books."
"More?" cried Dorison. "You've done
all. You've done all that could be done.
You've done everything. It is wonder-
ful."
"Yes," replied the old man compla-
cently. "It is pretty fair. It will show
these New York people that the old man
hasn't loet his cunning—that he can
work in New York as well as in the
west."
"When did you first suspect the doc-
tor?"
"This morning, when I went into his
room with you."
"What!" cried Dorison wholly sur-
prised. "This morning?"
"Yes," replied the old man. "Until
then I suspected Langdon. I saw that
letter from Langdon and partially writ-
ten reply, and the case of instruments to
which the lancet belonged- But that did
not arouse my suspicions. 1 thought per-
haps Langdon had taken the lancet But
when 1 got that package from the safe
the whole thing burst upon me in a mo-
ment The letters and lancet took their
place at once in the story, and I acted
opon inspiration."
Dorison was so astonished that he was
silent for a moment Then he asked:
"Was Langdon'• coming an accident
too?"

They walked along again in silence.
"What about Pittstou?"
"He is shadowed aud will be arrested
during the day. They will all be sent up."
As they turned into Bleecker street
from the Bowery, Cathcart said:

Dorison had sustained another shock,
and he was carried into tbe consulting
room. The attendant, still sitting at
the door and unconscious of the tragedy
enacted in the inner room, was dis-
patched for brandy, which being ad-
ministered to Dorison restored him a

CHAPTER XXIV.
CONCLCSIOK.
Early in the summer of eighteen hun-
dred and eighty-nine the Gallia arrived
at the port of New York after a prosper-
ous voyage.
On Its passenger list was the entry:
"Mr. and Mrs. John Dorison, two chil-
dren snd maid."
smiti tu Ota n • « A •
An old gentleman, tall and distin-
guished, accompanied by a younger man,
middle sized, plump and golden haired,
stood on the wharf impatiently await-
ing the throwing np of the gang plank.
When the plank was placed in posi-
tion, with an agility his years scarcely
warranted, the old gentleman rushed op
and embraced a lady who, smiling
through glad tears, stood awaiting him
beside John Dorison, by whose hand that
of tbe old gentleman was warmly
The lady, presenting a lad of
yean and a baby girl of two to tbe eld
gentleman, bade them know
"Grandpapa," and also to the
gentleman, who, she Mid. was "Uncle

"Yrm were beautiful as Evelyn Eustace,
but as Ertlfn Dorison you are Lovely."
And young Eustace said:
"And, father, I think John is to be
complimented on his beauty too."
"Happiness and sweet content of mind
are great beautifiers, Charley, my boy,"
replied Dorison laughingly.
He advanced to greet an old man with
white hair, keen, bright and restless
eyes, who presented himself with m con-
torted face which Dorison knew, if on-
lookers did not, was intended for a smile
of gladness, and whose hands he grasped
warmly, saying that his homecoming
would not have been complete if be
oonld not have grasped the hand of him
to whom he owed the possibility of his
happiness and prosperity.
