'I admit my conduct was oprn to adverse
criticism," the stranger said, waving his
hand. The customs of society do not war- j
rant a man in going to bed with his boots on, '
especially when his couch of dreams is i
i
nauglit :iut the cold, cold stones ot a door
step. But I will make a handsome apology
if necessary,' he continued, bowing to the
policeman.
After a little more parleying with the of
fended policeman, the doctor induced him J
to depart withont the offending sleeper.
Still acting from impulse, he invited the
stranger to enter the oflice. The only ex
planation of his conduct was that he wished
to hear him talk. Fossibly the fact of the
German book having been a psychological
worn may nave uau some Hearing on ur.
Yickers' anomalous conduct. Besides it
was in the night, and no one would know it.
Deeds under such circumstances are never
1 so heinous as when performed in the broad.
! uncompromising light of day.
j Once spated by the fire, tho Doctor saw
that his new acquaintance was a man aotne
' thing over thirty years, who would have
been handsome under happier circumstan- j
ces. But neglect and dissipation had made
sad havoc with his face. The Doctor placed ;
a lunch on a small table, and courteously in- !
vited him to eat. The other drew his chair I
up to the table, and then said, with an af- j
fected air of concern : i
You must give me assurance. Doctor, that j
food partaken of at this late hour will not j
be dettimental to my general health. I nev
er play tricks with my digestion.
With assuted solemnity the Doctor as
sured him that he might eat with Impunity.
The other professed himself satisfied and
went to eating. He was evidently very
hungry and equally reluctant to let it be too
apparent, so that the Doctor made an ex
cuse and withdrew. When he returned the
plate was empty, and the stranger was seat
ed in front of the fire.
He looked so thin, so pinched with hnn-

"I've always thought if my mother had

it wouldn't, but I've noticed a man's mother
is about the best friend he has. A woman
is generally good to her child, no matter how
bad she is every other way. It seems to bo
her nature. Heaven knows there isn't
mueli use in a man putting any faith in one
under any other circumstances. Let me tell
you something. Sometimes, wheu I am
trudging my way along a dark, lonesome
road, with feet lamed with walking and a
tired body, and head nearly crazed with
thinking, I feel like I'd find some relief in
talking it all over with some one. That
helps any one if he is in trouble help de
cent, respectable people, I mean. Of course
nothing could do me much good. But I'm
goiug to tell you the thing always in my
mind only when I am drunk. When I was

God ! How I loved her ! I could have knelt
down and kissed the hem of her gartur nt. I
look back now and feel sorry for myself as
though I had beeD some other young fool,
adoring something that had never existed.
Well, when the money was gone I went to
work. I never dreamed of her not being
true to me. so I had the hope of her to help
me. It wa3 up hill work, brought up as 1
had been. I used to think I'd be obliged to
remake myself. But 1 might have done
something in time ; I don't know, though,
One day I remember it as though ii had
only been an hour ago I had a letter from
her telling me she was going to be married.
