He was turning out the lights, but
he was reversing the reasonable pro-
cess. He went down the hall to the
light at the stairway leading to his
room and turned it out. Then he
came back, past the recess in which I
stood, turning out lights as he went,
and the last light he extinguished was
the one at the foot of Mr. Sidney's
stairs.
Now the hall was in complete dark-
ness and was quiet. Jed, like myself,
I guessed, was In hiding—but for what
reason?
Then I heard the faintest stirring
near by. It came nearer. I tried to
keep from breathing audibly. 1 could
hear another person's breathing. It
was Jed, beyond doubt. He came into
the recess where 1 stood. [It was
only five or six feet deep but fully
twenty feet long. He was at one end,

Jed stepped forth and went quickly
across the open. I went to the front
entrance and stood on the porch.
The hunter's moon was at full, and
the place was luminous in a soft, misty
yellow lght.
I had tremors, frankly-—fcit the pres-
ence of tangible dangers, unseen, and
of Intangible terrors. I never felt such
oppression, doubt, distress and dismay
in my life. My patient was on a
strange errand far beyond any
strength I ever knew him to have; and
lowing him.

Jed, groaning tremulously.

Jed,” 1 sald, just loud enough to earry
to the person approaching and to
sound to him as If it were a normal
tone to Jed with me in the office,
“That is a part of my business here”
i knew Mr. Sidney was standing In
the doorway. So did Jed. Neither of
us betrayed our knowledge until the
strange apparition which we knew to
be there sald:
“Up so late, doctor? Up so late,
Jed?’
“Why, Mr, Sidney!” 1 exclaimed,
He was, indeed, an extraordinary
looking being. He had controlled his
volee and his manner. Discipline was
fixed in his soul. But he had not con.
trolled his expression. It was of the
wildest excitement. And yet how he
tried to preserve the normalities, taken
ns he was In such strange circum-
stances!
“Mr. Sidney!” 1 exclaimed again,
and my wonder was not simulated.
“You abroad tonight at such an hour!”
He made a violent effort to keep his
composure and succeeded,
“I felt so well, doctor,” he sald, “and
I see so little of the place I love so
much, that I took the only chance I
had-—this wonderful October moon and
my faithful physician asleep and off
guard, as I thought—to steal out a

Here purpose took hold of him again
and defied concealment ; he became ex-
cited and caused me to have double
dread of his tomorrow. “Jed, call the
penitentiary,” he commanded, “There's

On Dr. Brownell's last visit, he con-
