"Quite likely, my dear girl, for 1 am
far from well this morning," feebly re-
join** 1 the doctor. With a tender com-
passion sho bent over him, gently wiped
his brow with her handkerchief and
brnshed back his hair with a delicate,
smooth touch which only a wife's depth
of lovo could inspire. Upon her sweet
face dwelt a troubled look of affection-
ate concern and anxiety; upon his hung
a cloud too black and heavy for sun to
pierce. For some minutes, during which
he seemed almost forgetful of her pres-
ence, they remained silent—a silence
burdened with dreaded possibilities—
and then her lips moved in yearning eu-
treaty.
"Edward, my hnslui id"— The ca-
ressing cadence in her voice, the uneasy
intonation in tho words which diid
upon her lips ere they were fully utter-
ed, recalled him to his senses with a
sudden start.
"May, my darling, you must not
worry so much about uio. I shall be
(r.ite well after an horn 's rest Leave
me to recover myself. "
Slowly sho straightened herself up
and silently walked to the door. With
her band upon tho knob, sho turned to
bestow upon him a wafted kiss, but
failing to obtain a look sho moved away
with a sifih and gently closed the door
Then Dr. Gardner was alone with a
reproaching conscience and an Almighty
Judge, to whom sin is hateful.
Tho door bad barely l>een shut when
ho became immediately seized in the
grip of an insupportable agony. Tho
presence of his wife had effectually re-
strained tho outward exhibition of his
feelings, but now, in his temporary sol-
itude, he could give them vent and by
tin ir omission lighten tho load which
weighed upon his heart
The expression of his secret torment
could only lie given by tho stifled groan,
the grinding teeth, the clinching fist
and t!<e v.rithing body, for he was ap-
prehensive of being overheard, but still
that little relieved the tension of his
sufferings.
Within his breast labored a tumult
of frightfnl thoughts, a terrible suspi-
cion which his spirit dared scarce enter-
tain. that east upon his soul a darkness
which felt eternal, a pain whieli was
worse than physical agony, which paled
his face and made his tall figure trem-
ble, which made the mnsclo.s of his
hands twitch spasmodically until ho
would fain have grasped tho ornaments
upon tho mantelshelf, costly as they
wi re, and from sheer despair crushed
them. In his wretchedness all the em-
blems of bis wealth roso up and mocked
him.
Presently tliero fell upon his ears tho
sound of approaching footsteps, the
light, delicate tread of his wife. He
was instantly c.i the alert and making
violent efforts to pull himself together.
"May," he said, with a show of
cheerfulness as she entered tho room, "I
am going to experiment with a chemic-
al in which I am rather interested. Will
you help me?"
"When? Now?"
"Oh, no; tonight sorao time. "
"What is the experiment to be, Ned?"
"Just to give Bruce a small dose of
it It's the only way of which I can
think to arrive at a defiuito knowledge
of its action and properties. "
"But suppose it kills the poor dog. "
"No danger of that, my dear. Certain-
ly your father used to consider the drug
poisonous, but I have long ago discov-
ered that ho was mistaken. "
"Well, if you are quite sure I shall
not object. But, Ned, dear," asked Mrs.
Gardner, looking puzzled, "why this
sudden eagerness for scientific re-
search?' '
Across his face p \ssed a scarcely per-
ceptible movement, as from some dart-
ing sensation, as he replied: "Simply
because I have nothing better to do to-
day and neither health nor inclination
for more active employment. You will
help me to test the drug, will you not,
May?"
"Yes, dear, with pleasure," she an-
swered in a happier voice. The oppres-
sion upon his soul seemed less heavy as
she nestled close in his arms.
answered the lady In a tone at languid
Interest
For some minutes they were both si-
lent and thoughtful, she reclining upon
a conch, her head pillowed upon her
hands, and one unalippered foot care-
lessly tapping the fender; he in an at-
titude of studied repose which oould
not hide the symptoms of suspense and
anguish, the drawn face alarming in its
whiteness, the unceasing twitching of its
muscles, the uneased restlessness of his
limbs, which no mental effort oould
control
Presently he asked, "May, why do
you look at me so strangely?''
"I didn t, ' she replied shortly with-
out raising her eyes.
"Oh, but you did, my dear, and al-
most furtively "
"You are dreaming, sir," was the
calm answer
"May. what do you mean? i never
heard yon address me in that way be-
fore. ' exclaimed her husband, with an
astonished look of pain
"Ned. uiy darling, what did I say to
your" she asked, immediately passing
her hand over her eyes and crossing the
hearth to wind her arms about him.
"Why, why. you said, 'You are
dreaming, sir Fancy sir to me. "
"Edward, don t bo silly I think I
was dre lining myself "
"1 cuu readily believe it," he observ-
ed in a relieved tone, and then th'-y be-
came again silent, sho resting upon tho
sido of lti~ chair, and her gaze gradual-
ly concentrating upon a small bracket

CHAPTER IV.
"Now, Ned, you are quite sure that
Bruce will come to no harm from this
I experiment?"
"Believe me, dear, when I tell you
that I am certain of it.''
Convinced by her husband's assur-
anoe, Mrs. Gardner flung open the li-
brary window and called in a low voice:
I "Bruce, come here, Bruce. Ned, I'm
afraid somebody must have locked him
i in tho stable, and it's such a cold, dark
I night "
"Come in. May, and I will go down,"
said the doctor, ri<ing from his chair at
the fireplace and joining his wife at the
j window "Oh, never mind, dear; it's
only a few steps. " With a wife's loving
care her fingers were bu.-ily turning up
his coat collar to protect him from tho
chill night air "That will do, thank
you."
"Oh. but wait a moment, Ned, until
1 get a lamp to light yon dowa. The
stairs are so steep Now, please, don't
move
Or < inrdner stepped out upon tho ter-
race and stamped his fort npou the flag-
ged pavement until his \vi;'o returned,
and then, while she held up the light
ho carufnlly felt bis way down the
streaky path thrown along the precip
itous staircase which led into tho gar-
den. In a few seconds there came a soft
footed rush along the gravel, and a
large staghound bounded up to the win-
dow and thrust his nose into the hand
of his mistress with a joyful caress.
"Now, May, will you please hold his
head and try to keep him as quiet as
possible while I pour the medicine down
his throat?" said tho doctor, approach-
ing with a small vial in his hand
"Bo careful. Ned. You've spilt some
of it over my fingers. There, that will
do. Good old Bruce. Was it awfully
nasty? He doesn't seem to like it, and,
oh, Ned, my fingers are burning See
how red they are. Is it a caustic medi-
cine? Why, look how sulky Bruce looks
He knows as well as you do that we
have played a trick upon him "
"He'll get over it presently, dear
Uive him a lump of sugar, and then
we 11 turn him out He'll be all right
with his friend Tabby "
"But 1 thought. Edward, that you
w*hed to observe the effect of the drug
upon him. ' mildly remonstrated Mrs
Gardner
"Not till tomorrow, my dear "
"WelL vou know best 1 suppose.'
mirror hanging from the wall
Sometimes sho smiled at herself in
it. at other times frowned, and once she
halt closed her eyelids and peered be-
tween them at her own reflected image
"May. niv darling, your love is be
coming painfully intense. If you don't
loosen vonr bold of my neck, I shall be
choked, ' said the doctor, fondly pass
iug bis arm round her waist "What's
that?" ho exclaimed, suddenly starting
to his feet "There's something wrong
with Bruce '
"You had better go down immediate
ly, Edward. ' suggested Mrs. Gardner
quietly "Perhaps you have poisoned
him, and then I'll never forgive you.
1 Seeing a hesitating reluctance in his
| manner, she added, "Oh, very well,
i then, 1 must go myself "
"How absurdly yon are speaking,
j .May What is the matter with you?'
1 asked the doctor, stopping by tho win
j dow as if to gain timo.
" I 'm anxious about Bruce Go before
be s killed, if you mean to do so He'll
! disturb the neighborhood if he continues
j to make that noise "
Mrs Gardner undid the fastenings
and let in a gust of night air laden with
a chill mist.
"Where's the lamp, dear?" asked her
husband when ho bad stepped upon tho
terrace and stood nervously undecided
whether to proceed farther or not Sud
denly he turned to her as if he had in a
moment become aware that ho was the
object of earnest observation upon her
part and looked in her face, which re
mained calm and expressionless.
"You surely don't need the lamp
again. Go, and be quick about it, or
else I shall consider you a coward."
With evident unwillingness he turned
from her, saying. "May, you are laugh
iug at me My God, what are you do
iug?" he suddenly screamed.
Above the terrified cry of the doctor
ro'so tho fierce, snarling growl of the
stagUotinn.
Mrs Gardner stepped back into the
library with a short, subdued, tittering
laugh and shut out the black night and
its horror

"It's orful, pos'tiv'ly orful, " observ
ed the housekeeper under her breath as
she stood upon the following morning
til tho center of a group of quaking, ter
ror struck servants, "and I don't know as
ow the poor, dear lady can bear it. Nor
1 don t think she will if ye ask my
opinion She's jist out of one fit and in

" Ere s a Icob, Mrs. Ferguson," inter-
posed a domestic who commanded a
view of the square
"Yes, that's tho other nurse You
tend to the door, Mercer, and take 'er to
my room,'' ordered the housekeeper.
"Has she been told about him bein
worried by the dog?" asked Andrews,
the butler, crossing his legs to keep
them still.
"No, it's crooil anuff without tellin
'erany 'orrible perticklers of that sort. "
"I suppose it was Bruce who killed
the cat, too?" questioned Robert, the
underfootman.
. "Most likely," replied the housekeep-
er. "But the strangest thing of all is
Jist thia Mrs. Gardner rec'lects nothin

Mark Twain's Visit.
Not long after Mark Twain moved
into his new residence in Hartford one
Sunday morning he was sitting on his
veranda enjoying his cigar and morning
paper. Across the street a neighbor was
similarly occupied. Mark started in his
moderate way and walked very leisurely
across the street. The neighbor, who
had never met Mark, much pleased at
the prospect of a neighborly call, met
him at the steps of his veranda, giving
him a cordial welcome, iusisting upon
his taking the easy chair, offering a
fresh cigar, eta Mark sat down and
after thanking him for his welcome said
in his droll way: "I did not come to
make a social call I came to say that
your chimney is on fire."—New York

How to Dry a Negative Quickly.
After the negative is washed take a
piece of surgeon's cotton—surgeon'scot-
ton is used because it is free from rough
bits that might scratch the film—dip
it in the water, squeeze it dry and wipe
the plate gently, drawing the cotton
lengthwise of the plate, until the super-
fluous moisture is removed. Then soak
the plate in alcohol for three minutes,
drain and place on a rack to dry The
rack may be set in a warm place, but
not where there is heat enough to melt
the film. The alcohol displaces the wa-
ter in the film, and as alcohol evaporates
rapidly the plate will be dry in about
20 minutes.—Harper's Round Tablo.
