CHAPTER V.
THIi BCBNED PAPER.
For onco tho stoical Liunar lost his
composure.
"For God's sake, how did it happen?"
In a hollow voieo Maxey mado tho re
ply: "They were alone "
Tho physician was speechless. Maxey
thought him horrified On the contrary,
he frus amazed. Wlieii ho found his
voice, again, there was but a single word
in his vocabulary equal to tho situation,
find lie uttered it:
"Impossible!"
Maxey did not heed him, but went on
in a hopeless tono:
"It was my fault, of course, entirely
my fault. I allowed myself to bo led by
her girlish whim when I ought to have
looked tho matter squarely in tho faco
and asserted my own will. I ought to
krvo taken your advice, Lamnr. You
knew it you foretold it alL You
wanted"
Dr. Lamar interrupted him.
"Not of any such oecurrunco as this,
Maxey. Never. Do you mean to tell me
that you think the patient tightened that
handkerchief around your sister's
throat?"
"I tell yon," said Maxey, "I left
thorn alone absolutely alone. When I
Came back the door was locked. "
"On tho inside?"
"On tho inside. "
Lamar swept a bewildered glaneo
about the apartment, stared at tho palo
faco on tho bed in tho aluovo room, at
tli'' swollon features behind tho torn
drapery, at tho professionally anxious
vit-ago of the nurse, who was moving
about between tho two. Ho looked at
tho doors, at tho windows, at tho chim
ney phu'e. He stopped from tho corner
whore he had been talking with Maxoy
to tho center table and began very caro
fully to put his surgical instruments
back into tho case from which ho had
lately removed them. When he had com
pleted this task, he closed tho box with
a sudden snap, and turning to the artist
with the positive energy of a man who
has thoroughly uir.do up his mind said:
"Maxey, vou are enizyl"
His emplutio manner roused tho
young man from his stupor. From the
moment when he heard the key fall from
its placo on tho insido of tho door as ho
tried to open it everything had seemed
to him like tho illogical, haphazard hap
penings of a dream. If ho had acted
With promptness and vijor iu tho emer
gency, he had dono scjkechanically, in
a sort of instinctive fasition, without re
flection. After assistance had arrived
and tho immediate excitement was over
he went about iu a daze. The physician's
Sharp tone made him start. Ho lifted his
ryes from the floor, unclasped his hands,
which had been folded behind his back,
and passed his palm over his throbbing
forehead.
"I beliovo you are moro than half
right," ho murmured. "The blow was so
sudden and unexpected that it crushed
me. Lamar, you havo always been tho
best of friends. We were boys together.
I know you wouldn't oSbaiVQ mo about a
matter of this kind. Tell mo the truth
at onco. Yon havo gravo fears for El
len?" "No, I haven't," retnnied Lamar
quickly. "I havo no fears at all. She
Will bo herself again with proper care in
throo days. D.m't imagine from that
tliero has been no danger. It was a ter
ribly barrow escape, a terribly narrow
escape. ' 1
"Escape from what, from whom? You
said just now that I was crazy, Lamar,
boeanso I gave utterance to what seemed
to mo tho only possible suspicion a man
could entertain. I como home, find them
alone, and I infer that tho poor, irre
sponsible creature had indeed fulfilled
your prediction and brought terrible
trouble upon us. And now you say"
"Impossible," tho physician inter
posed positively.
"Annette did not do it?"
"Annette could not havo dono it. "
Maxey seemed elcctriiied. Ho glanced
around the room with an air of suspicion
and excitement Then with characteris
tic impulsiveness ho seized his hat and
coat.
Lamnr, who had been watching him
with a look of grave concern in his hand
some features, laid his hand gently on
his shoulder.
"What wo you going to do?"
"Do? I am going to tho police, I am
going to havo this matter investigated
at once. I"
Ho stopped short, amazed by tho ex
pression which ho saw in the physician's
face.
"No, Julian Maxey, not if I can pre
vent it."
Tho serious, earnest gravity, tho utter
solemnity of Dr. Lamar's speech and
manner, frightened tho artist.
"What is it, Lamar? For heaven's
sake, what aro you thinking about?"
"I cannot tell you here. Let me see
yon in private,"
A nervous trembling took Maxey all
at onco. Ho did not know why. Ho led
the way to tho front of tho house. There
was a dim light in tho parlor. Maxey
did not turn it up. Ho sat down closo
besido tho physician on a sofa Lamar
did not seem to seo hLs way clearly to
what ho wanted to say, and after a mo
ment's silence Maxey spoko up excitedly:
"Thero's something on your mind,
Lamar; I know it. Thoro is something
which you know and I don't know, so
serious that you hesitate to toll mo of It "
"No, " 3aid Lamar gravoly. "I know
nothing which you do not know much
loss, in fact, than you ought to know. I
only desire that you shall stop to think
before you act You havo not told mo
everything. "
"Good heavens, how am I to toll you
every thing? Wo must question Ellon. "
"I had rather not question Ellon."
Maxey was silent from astonishment
"My dear boy," said tho physician in
a low and not wholly steady voioo, "are
you sure ybur sister has been entirely
happy of late?"
"I am quite wiro sho has not I" cried
Maxoy impetuously.

"Do you know what troubled her?"
Maxey did not answer, but ho beeamo
soarlet to tho roots of his hair. The light
was dim, but tho change in tho artist's
manner did not escape tho observant
physician. Dr. Lamar became slightly
embarrassed.
"I beg your pardon if in my anxiety
for your welfaro I havo touched on a
family matter, "
"It is nothing to be ashamed of,"
blurted out Maxey, "but it is her own
6eeret, and I havo no right to mention
it. Sho has never whispered a word to
mo. But I am not blind. "
"Don't betray her, I beg of you," said
tho physician earnestly, "but when) sho
recovers, if you havo any power to re
move tho cause of her unhappiness, do
so. I say this in all earnestness. Sho
must not be allowed to brood."
Maxey suddenly ;irosc. For the first
time tho nature of his friend's suspicion
dawned upon him.
"You believe this was my sister's
own act?" ho exclaimed in an unnatural
ly calm voice.
"She wore tho haudkerehief about
her neck. I noticed it there this after
noon. "
"Sho did!" cried Maxey, losing his
calmness all at onco. "She did, but
don't you flatter yourself, Lamar, that
tho unhappiness I spoko of v as of suffi
cient strength to induce tho poor girl to
take her own life. Not a bit of it, sir.
Not in tho least I Preposterous! It would
havo urged her rather to live, Tho ideal
Why, there isn't a naturally more cheer
ful and contented person alive than my
Bister Ellen. Kill herself? I guess not!
Ono of these days, Lamar, you'll see
what a fool you've made of yoursolf. Is
this your ground for believing Annetto
incapable? Eustace, if I am crazy, you'io
a raving maniac. "
The artist was pacing the floor excit
edly and spoke as if he was addressing
a multitude
"Don't talk so loud," said Lamar, a
littlo impatiently. "You know I am tho
last man in tho world to wish to believe
this theory. Yoil know I would never
mention it to any other than yourself.
Nothing but a senso of duty and personal
friendship would induce mo to speak of
It now. If it is true, it is necessary that
you should be Warned, If it is not true,
yon will forgive mo for speaking of it
You believe, Maxey, that the imbecile
pulled the ends of tho handkerchief your
Bister wore. Did tho imbecile also lock
the door?" .
Maxey stopped as abruptly in his walk
as if ho had suddenly encountered a
wall. Thero was complete silence for
full a minute, and then tho .trtist spoko
In a different tone.
"I am acting liko a lunatic," he said
quietly. "I havo too littlo system. I
only take in half the situation and ig
noro tho other half. Thero is a signifi
cance in that locked door, quito other
perhaps than I had imagined. We each
jumped to a conclusion. Wo undoubted
ly are both wrong. Lamar, I am going
to search tho house. Will you como
too?"
His manner was so much moro calm
than it had been that Dr. Lamar felt re
lieved of a great responsibility,
"You havo recovered yourself, Max
ey," ho said. "Don't lose your head
again at tho first now turn in affairs."
Maxey accepted the rebuke quietly.
"You aro right, Eustace. I dolose my
head too easily. But I havo recovered
myself now. Meanwhile I am afraid we
havo lost very valuable time. "
Dr. Lamar arose with a new light in
his eyes.
"Then you think"
"That somebody may havo been here
in my absence."
This seemed a positively luminous
idea to the physician. Bad as tho alter
native was, under tho circumstances
both men would bo glad to accept it.
Nevertheless Lnmns; said doubtingly:
"Do you suspect anybody?"
"No."
"Is thoro any possiblo motive?"
"To kill my sister? Iu God's name,
how conld there be?' 1
"What enemies havo you?"
"None, thank God!"
Lamar sighed. After all, was thero
much plausibility in tho artist's sugges
tion? All at onco he turned upon his
friend with a new question!
"Maxey, aro you sure you havo not
been robbed?'1
Maxey started.
"I was thinking of that very thing
myself. I havo not missed anything,
but I havo been Very much excited, and
possibly possibly, Lamar, I seo it all.
Wo went out, and tho thief who had
been watching his chanco crept in. All
was dark here, and whilo ho was search
ing for valuables ho alarmed Ellen, who
was asleep on the bed. Sho thought per
haps it was myself returning and Called
to him. To save himself ho sprang upon
her and choked her. When sho beeamo
motionless, ho ran and locked tho door,
perhaps to make snro of not being inter
rupted, or, better still, becauso ho heard
me coming and was afraid. Ho thon con
cealed himself in ono of tho rooms, per
haps in the very placo whero wo aro
standing. Ho waited till ho hoard mo
como in or till a suitable opportunity
presented itself, crept through tho two
rooms to tho door and got awny unno
ticed." "Well done, Maxoy!" cried Lamar,
with something approaching enthusi
asm. 1 ' You havo devised at last a plausi
ble theory. "
Ho stopped abruptly, with an expres
sion of doubt. His eyes rested on tho
door, which closed immediately between
tho front parlor and tho outer corridor.
"Tho obvious objection to your tho
ory is that tho supposed thiof might
have escaped through this door by sim
ply turning tho key in tho lock. It was
locked on tho inside, was it not?"
"It was and is and will remain so
until I get tho leisuro to bring a lock
smith hero to fix it I twisted tho key
off in the look tho other day and nothing
will dislodgo tho stump. "
Nevertheless Maxoy tried tho door. It
was se u-ely fast
This being tho only moans of Kottujf j
into tho outer hall, except by the door
which led from tho littlo vestibule be
longing to tho suit, a passageway ex
tending tho width of Miss M;ixcy 's sleep
ing chamber and connecting tho large
rear room with tho back parlor, Maxoy
naturally saw no objection to his theory
so far. Out of this private hall were
three doors besides the outer door one
opouing at one ond Into the sitting room,
another at the other extremity into tho
rear parlor, and the third at tho back
into Miss Maxey 's chamber. It would
havo beou easy for tho intruder, with
this ample provision for his purpose, to
havo escaped observation until a suita
ble opportunity presented for his safe es
cape from tho suit.
Maxey began his search of the prem
ises by looking under n sofa and behind
a bookcase. From this thorough begin
ning he went on in a most careful mid
methodical manner, peeping into closets,
opening drawers to ascertain whether
their contents had been disturbed and
leaving no spot unvisited, the position of
no carelessly thrown aside article un
explained. Tho Bearolv was fruitless.
Not mi atom of evidence to substantiate
tho theory advanced by Maxey could bo
discovered. Both men Were disappointed
and thoughtful when the tour of inves
tigation was finished.
They stood at last beforo tho grate in
tho room, with tho nurse and tho two
sufferers, warming their hands. Onco in
awhile Maxey's troubled gazo sought
Dr. Lamar's face, but tho physician's
glance was downward and his brow con
tracted. Lamar tapped his foot moodily against
tho fender and seemed wrapped in a
brown study. Maxoy longed for somo
word of encouragement or comfort from
his friend, the , physician. He had the
greatest confidence in Dr. Lamar's caro
fully considered opinions, but this timo
tho physician did not seem to havo any
opinion to offer.
Suddenly Lamar's attention was
caught by an object lying on tho hearth
stone. Ho stooped and picked it up.
"Havo you been burning paper, Max
ey?" "No," returned Maxoy quickly. "I
havo not "
"What is that?"
Miixay took from his hand tho corner
of a newspaper with a charred edge. Ho
scrutinized it suspiciously. Ordinarily
ho would havo thrown sucli an object
aside contemptuously. Iu tho present
emergency ho would havo examined a
pin if Lamar had handed it to him.
"Havo you burned any paper in this
grate, Mrs. Davis?" asked Maxoy of tho
uurso. "Think beforo you speak It
may be a veiy important matter. "
"I havo not had any paper in my
hand sinco I have been here. That's
easily settled. "
"Thero has been a very largo pieco of
paper burned here," said Lamar in a
whisper. "Seo there, and there! Tho
black ashes aro all about. "
Tho physioian stumped his foot near
tho grate, and tho littlo breath of air
caused by tho concussion made a rustlo
of light burned paper on tho floor.
"It is tho newspaper containing tho
story of our llnding Annetto I" exclaimed
tho artist, with growing suspicion, "a
mm i
"WhatUthati"
paper which I was very anxious to keep,
and Which Ellen Was quite as particular
about. I left it hero on tho table. What
do you make of it, Lamar? What would
you do?' '
"I confess I am in tho dark. But I
am very certain you want to save that
scrap of paper and to keep tho event in
mind. If not now, tho day may como
when it will supply a most important
evidence. As for now, I would suggest
that you question tho people in the
house."
Maxey proceeded at onco to act upon
the suggestion. Tho physician, after
topping a moment to examine his pa
tient, put on his hat and followed hiin.
The occupants of tho floor below had
heard nothing and seen nothing, but
Maxoy persisted with tho determination
of despair. Ho found tho janitor at the
foot of the stairs.
"My good man," ho said to him, "do
you recall seeing mo go out with my
friend, tho doctor, here, just after dark?"
"I do, sir, very well, sir."
"It is very important that you should
not givo a hasty answer to the question
I am going to ask you very important,
for a failure in your recollection may
get us all Into trouble. "
"I hope, Mr. Maxey, there is nothing
serious in tho matter. "
"Your hopes aro vain then. Thero is
something very serious tho mutter. Did
you seo anybody about the hall after my
departure?"
"No, sirl"
"You aro suro?"
"I am, becauso, you see, I was going
down cellar at tho timo to look after
tho furnaces, and I staid bolow thero
for an hour. No, sir. I am sorry I can't
help you, but I haven't seen anybody.
That's tho fact of it, sir. I'd havo re
membered it if I had. I don't forget
easy, oven little trifles liko that Now,
thero was a friend of yours horo this
morning asking af tor you, and I could ro
poat tho Whole circumstances."
"Repeat them, please," said Maxoy
quickly.
' 'Tho man camo hero to tho foot of tho
stairs. 'It's too much trouble, to go up, '
ho said, 'but havo you seen' my friend
Mr. Maxey today?' 'I have, ' I said. 'How
is ho looking?' was fiis next question.
'Looking fine, sir, ' says L 'And that in
valid of his, that girl they found on the
rocks, how is sho coming on?' "
At this point tho janitor's faco be
eamo troubled, and ho looked a littlo
confusod.
"Well, " said Maxoy, "that's vory im
portant What was your answor. Tell
us exactly. "
"Maybe I told him moro than I had
any right to toll, but tho fact is, sir, I
was in a hurry and wanted to bo rid of
him. Says I, 'Oh, she's all right 1 'All
right?' ho says. 'What do you mean?' 'I
a. yin tail. torn . t nowy
mean they're doctoring her up, ' I says,
'and they'll soon havo her out of it ' I
thought ho looked somewhat astonished,
and I said to him, 'If you want to know
any particulars, you'd bettor go right up
and see the gentleman himself, sir, ' I
said. 'Some other time, ' he remarked
and turned square around and walked
out"
Maxey and Lamar looked at each
other. There was an interrogation in
both glances.
"Did you ever see this lazy friend of
mino before?" questioned Maxey.
"Only onco, Sir. That's how I knew
when I saw him he was a friend of yours.
He came day beforo yesterday and asked
mo tho same questions. "
"And wouldn't go up?"
"Ho was averso to climbing, sir."
"Can you describe him?"
"Well, ho was a man, I should say,
about 40, with small eyes, near together,
bushy oyobrows, smooth face and a hook
nosa He wore a handsome pin in his
shirt front I don't know as I can say
tiuch iuoro definite "
"This means something, ' 1 cried Max
ey, with a touch of his former excite
ment as they remounted the stairs.
"And to think that our hands aro tied!
If only I might ask Ellen two little
questions. "
Lamar niado no reply to this, but as
won as ho reached the room he went to
tho bedside, felt the patient's pulse and
Bxchanged a few words with tho nurso.
Ellen lay with her faco swollen, her
throat well bandaged, breathing with
groat pain and difficulty. The physician
turned from an earnest scrutiny of her ,
faco to tho artist. The emergency seomod'
I jo gravo to him that ho resolved to per-1
out a matter which ordinarily ho would
have been too cautioas to countenance.
"You may ask her just ono question, "
Maxoy throw himself on a knee beside
tho bed and put back tho hair from his
sister's forehead with a tremulous hand.
"Ellen! Ellen!" he murmured.
A slight motion of tho head indicated
thut she heard him
"Don't try to turn your head, dear.
Don't exert yoursolf to answer me, but
tell mo, if you can, who did it?"
Tho head nodded slightly in tho nega
tive, and the lips mado an unsuccessful
attempt to frame an answer.
"Think, Ellen! Did you turn tho key
in tho door?"
Again tho negative motion of tho
head. Again the lips moved. Maxey put
his ear closo down and caught tho pain
fully whispered words:
"I don't know I was asleep I
heard Annotto cry and then I felt
myself grow faint"
"There, thoro!" cried Maxoy, starting
up. "You havo told mo enough, dear.
Don't try to talk any moro. Lamar, I
tell you thero is something wrong hero.
This must be placed in tho hands of tho
police. Unless my instinct decoives mo
this dastardly attack on my poor sister
is intimately connected with the matter
that kept us waiting that cold night on
the sea road. "
Maxey had passed from tho bedsido and
drew Lamar into a corner near the win
dow, a window that looked out over the
dark, lonesome river. Tho black tido
flowed on silently beneath tho thicken
ing ice. A chill gust of wind from tho
sea passed the houso with a rush. Tho
windows rattled ominously in tho sash.
Tho artist started.
"How searching tho wind is tonight!
Ah, hero is the mischief I Tho sash is not
shut tightly at the bottom. ' '
Abstractedly ho closed and locked the
window and came away.
"Yes, yes, " he muttered. "Itisbettor
to go to the polico at once. "
Not to tho polico, good Miatey, not to
tho tardy officers of a humnii justice
not in that direction lies tho thing of
which you aro in search, but down there
down thoro whero tho lonesome river
flows silently beneath tho thickening
ice and all is cold and dark.
to be continued.
TREATMENT OF THE HANDS.
now Ki el, ICuugh Hands May lie Rendered
White, sun, .I.- and Soft,
The best known treatmout will avail
but littlo unless the dissatisfied owner
of a pair of ugly hands is determined
to persist in whatever set of remedies
sho may decido upon. Tenderly cod
dling tho hands today and tomorrow
abusing them is going to bring severe
disappointment to tho woman who is
making a half hearted effort to secure a
pair of pretty hands.
Tho very first move yon make should
be in tho direction of your soap dish.
Buy old white Castile soap of a trust
worthy firm. If old and pure, it will
be very dry and light in weight. Avoid
as much as possible keeping tho hands
in either very cold or very hot water.
Tho very host plan is to givo tho hands
a thorough cleansing in warm Water
pleasant to tho touch, using almond
meifl or bran. Tie up either one of these
in a little cheesecloth bag and, seo how
nicely it will take tho placo of soap as
an occasional substitute.
Before your hands aro dry pour into
tho palms somo softeuiag lotion. Gold
en Days suggests the following: It is
made of ono-third glycerin, two-thirds
rosewater and a sprinkle of powdered
borax. This must bo rubbed into tho
hands thoroughly, and when they have
boon dried on a soft towel and dusted
with somo delicate rico powder or the
dry bran you should seo that they do
not get another scrub for many hours.
All rough work and work that exposes
tho hands to dust and grinio must bo
dono witli tho hands gloved. Thoro aro
rubber gloves mado for this purposo,
and with tlieso glovos a lady may be
come her own charwoman without hurt
ing her hands.
Never uso anything but soft water.
If water is hard, it must bo softened by
dropping in it a few grains of borax, a
littlo ammonia or a small quantity of
soda. All theso things aro drying, and
after using any ono of them tho hands
should bo anointed with an unguent of
some kind. Almond oil is good.
Excessive rednoss is sometimes caused
by a squeezing process, resulting from
tight nrticles of woaring apparel. The
snugly drawn corset or tho glovo that is
a half size too small will causo a deal
of mischief. Circulation should bo frco.
A Plant That Jumps When It Is Hot.
A very queer plant belongs to the pes
family, and is called the "moving plant,"
on account of the manner in which its
leaves turn around of their own accord oi
go by jerks, without being touched or Id
any way disturbed. Sometimes only one oi
two leaves ou a plant will, be affected; at
other times they will all perform jumps
and gyrations simultaneously. It Is ob
served thut the movcmutits are most ener
getic when the thermometer marks about
80 degs. Washington Star.

TES OR
A We i-Known Physician.Who,
Among Other Things, Is
Noted for His Frankness,
No one ever heard Dr. E. Grower usa
the phrase "1 think" In bis practice. The
doctor is one of thoso frunk, fearless.hon
est, positive men who never hesitate to
ny y(8 or no, as the ease may require.
"1 ctn enre you" or "I cannot curs you,"
is Ins Invariable decision after examina
tion, nnd to this faot faot Is attributable
his remarkable record without failures.
Rut it would be strange indsed if the doc
tor were not a more than usually success
ful practitioner. He has been surgeon-in-chief
in more than one of the largest hos
pitals of this country, was lately Demon
strator of Physiology and Surgery at the
Medico-Chirurgical College in Philadel
phia, hax been elected an honorary mem
ber of the Mcdico-Cbirurgical Association,
is a grnduate of tne University of Ponn
sylvauln, etc., and Is still a close student.
A man with snch a record could not fail
to be a successful physician under any
circumstances, but when backed by
cuulious, conserratltm in ezpivBsiou, or,
lo use a more popular phrnse, the "be-sure-yon'ro-riKbt-thon-go-ahead"
system,
it would i more than strange if failure
overtook him.
Yon can consult Dr. Grower any day at
Rooms S and 6,
Temple Court Building
81 1 SPRUCE ST.,
from 9 a. in. till 9 p. m. Consultations f ,-oe.
Those 8affering from Nervous Disease
