It was true that he had given young Elston a suit of old clothes, bul t was current knowledge that Elston in some unaccountable sprint f sobriety had delved and labored n the Britt garden for a full ten days, receiving half pay.

It was about a week after that when Donald Pearce, a rising young lawyer of the town, down the turn- pike in his nearly ran down a lurching, indifferent figure in the rond.

He pulled Els- ton into his private office, “Old fellow,” he said gratefully, “you've got to let me repay this big act of yours, The woman who keeps my .office in order has a neat little dome, I'm going to get you a room there. You'll have the best of care, test for a week and let me put you on your feet.” “No use, I'm afrald,” returned Els- ton dejectedly. “I can't bear to be shut up. I'm afraid of the effect, and want to be where I can get a bracer If I begin to see things.” For a long time Pearce pleaded with the poor unfortunate, At length Els- ton said: “I'll try it, on one condition.” “And what is that?” “You trust me.” “I guess I will, after your bringing back that lost pocketbook !™ “I want you to buy me a certain remedy. I want to keep it by my side, On my honor, I will not touch it un- less I feel trouble coming on. It will help me out to know I've got it, if I reach the limit of endurance.” “Done!” cried Pearce, “and I know you'll conquer.” Elston did. At the end of a week, once more clothed, again in his right mind, he took a walk with Pearce. As they reached a quiet spot he took out the bottle, Its contents were intact, He gave it a flimg against a rock and it shivered into a thousand pieces, “That's the end of this business for me,” he sald, quletly bul deter- minedly. Now a queer thing came about, Pearce got to questioning Elston about his past. He found that his only liv- ing relative was a sister, a milliner “in a town fifty miles distant. Elston trad kept away from her on account of his abit. Pearce suggested that he go and see the sister, “I've got an uncle living in Mar. den,” he explained. “I'll get you work there. You will be happier and safer near your sister.” The first moment Pearce set his eyes on Dorothy Elston, the pretty milliner, with her sweet, winning ways, he fell in love with her, He got his old uncle in Marden to employ Els- ton, The uncle was an eccentric re- cluse, something of a sclentist dnd had a vast collection of curios and was fn geod deal of a naturalist, Two months went by. Pearce made a good many visits to Marden. He got on famously with Derothy Elston, and her brother was keeping away from his enemy. His employer had sent him away from town on a mission of importance one evening, and Pearce stayed with his uncle that night, leav- ing early in the morning before his uncle was awake, Serious pews reached him dn his own town before nightfall, His uncle had been robbed of a large amount of Jewelry. The fact of Pearce being at the house and leaving as he did, led to and then suspicion. Elston could prove that he was absent when the old man, now turned sour and suspicious, had been robbed. The lat. ter did not prosecute, but he ignored BOSSID, Elston returned Marden greatly perturbed over the charge that affected the man who had been his best friend. All one day he prowled about the old figure out and {0 house, trying to how At last Elston rested susplcion upon a stranger who had come to the town before the robbery, and had been found acting suspiciously on the public the ensuing evening.
