MAN AND WSIBHIL
Matey and Dr. Lamar exchanged
looks of alarm.
"What la this'.'" the uttist whispered.
Lamu answered:
"Death!"
"So suddenly? Is it possible?"
"I do not mean that ho is dead, but
that h" has not long to live. I would

"What are we to do?"
"Bettor toko him to the hospital at
once. Ic will not harm him to more

not be long in that swoon, and thou he
may bo violent Let me call the janitor I
unci have a earn. e brought.
Lamar stepped t the entrance which
eommnnioated directly with the outer
corridor. In a twinkling he had turned
the key and opened the door.
a man who had been standing suspi
ciously near the threshold drew back in
consternation.
This man was respectably dressed.
His cent was buttoned up about his
nook and his hat drawn down over his
eyes. Ho looked liko a well to do coach
man. The instant he saw Lamar he put tip
his hand as it' to shield his face and
turned to run.
The physician was too quick for him.
In two Btrides he had come up with him

and laid a grip of iron upon his shoul
der. "It is of no use, John, " said the doc
tor, ' "I know yon. ' '
"Oh, for God's sake!" the fellow
pleaded, in a voice of terror. "Let mo out
of this! I shall be killed!"
"Indeedl Who will kill you?"
The man at once became mute, but
he trembled.
"Ni v. John," said the physicimi in
a quiet tone, "yon are going to tell me
ti:" truth, or you will lose your situation
tomi rrow. You know this man Dye?"
"I, sir?" the man exclaimed, with an
air of astonishment.
"It is useless for you to affect sur
prise. You are caught, you see. What
were you doing here?"
'Only looking around, sir. That is
all, sir, as I bono to live."
"Ham. Well, now, John, it is of no
use. I will tell you plainly that it has
loin; bi "ii known to us that somebody in
Jlrs. Forsythe's household was in corre
spondence with this Leander Dye. We
have only been waiting to lay our hands
on the right man. We have found him
et last) and unless he is very, very care
ful he goes at once to the police. Do
you understand me?"
"Yes, rir."
"What do yon say?"
The man shut his lips tightly togeth
er, and then answered:
"Nothing, sir."
There was something of a grim reso
lution in bis face Which made Lamar
uneasy. Nevertheless he persisted:
"Very well, then, yon will come in
her.; with me, and I will lock you up
until we cau get an officer. "
The man began to expostulate in gen
nine alarm.
Lamar cut him short:
"Enough of that! Will you tell me
what I ask, or must I do as I threaten
ed?" The. man seemed to be greatly dis
tressed. He looked at Lamar, and he
looked at the wall. He appeared at a
IMS for words. Suddenly ho uttored a
despairing cry:
'Well, doctor, yon let me drive my
team homo, and 1 will come back and
stay as long as you like."
"Your team, eh? Perhaps you will
point out this team to me?"
"Oh, no, no! That was a mistake,
sir. Let anybody go with ' me and see
that I come back safe. I haven't got
any team. "
Lamar at once turned back into tho
room, dragging the unfortunate coach
man by the collar.
"Maxoy," he asked, "do yon feel
competent to deal with this man?"
Tho artist smiled grimly.
"Very well, keep him here till Icomo
back. I shall be gone but u moment. "
The door was closed and locked. La
mar ran down into tho street.
A single glance to the left and the
right ajong the lighted wayshowedhim
that the place was wholly deserted. Tho
eold night wind from tho river smoto
him in tho face. Ho hurried down tho
Steps and up to the main avenue.
A number of vehicles were pas.- iug in
either direction, but then was no car
riage Btanding by the ourb as far as he
could see.
Still ho did not feel quite satisfied
He went along to the next street, extend
ing to tho river, parallel with Balla
voine place. When ho reached tho cor
ner, his pulse gave a great leap.
A close carriage was drawn up by tho
sidewalk, a little way down toward the
river. Tho horses were covered with
blankets, and the driver's seat was va
cant. A dOMO rapid steps and Lamar's
hand was on the door of the carriage.
Tho handle turned, and ho was peering
in.
A Street lamp 00 tho other side of tho
way shown through the opposito win
dows and dimly illuminatod tho inte
rior. Lamur saw a woman closely veilod,

She was reclining in a corner, but when
the door opened she started forward and
ejaculated in a tremulous voice:
"John!"
Dr. Lamar knew that voice. A shiver
went through him. There was a dull
feelivg at his heart. He did not utter a
word. He did not move a muscle. Tht ro
was a dead silence.
The veiled figure shrank back with
an instinctive fear, and the light from
the street lamp fell upon hi:; face, A
piercing scream came from behind the
veil.
The llgure sat quite motionless upon
the seat.
"Fostellel" said Lamar in a low tone.
Maxoy answered tho knock at the
door instantly. The doctor was very
pale, but he was perfectly calm.
"Where have you been so long?" cried
the urtisi.
"Bidding goodby to au old friend,"
was the solemn response. "Maxoy, let
this man go. There is nothing at all
against him. "
Dr. Lamar tinned to the coachman
and udded in a low voice, "Go, John,
and drive your mistress home. "
When an officious personage, who
Would not tell the servant his business,
called at Mm. Forsj the's houso the next
morning, he found the place in confu
sion. After some persistence he was
shown into tiie presence of the house
keeper, of whom he desired to learn
When he should call again.
"Not at all," returned the house
keeper coldly. "Madam has gone away
ou a long visit. She sat up all night
making arrangements for the settlement
of her affairs here. Tho furniture is to
be stored, and all the servants havobeeu
given a month's pay. The house will
positively be closed. "
There was another persou in the city
who went quietly to bed overnight, but
who in the morning could not be found.
It was the pretty Miss Stevenson.
CHAPTER XXI.
THE POWER'S WORK.
One afternoon Maxey sought a private
audience with his wife.
"Annette, dear, I want you to tell
me something. ' '
"Is it something about this mysteri
ous affair that everybody has been so ab
sorbed in of late? The house for the last
few days has been full of 'hush, ' 'don't
question me,' 'all in good time,' and
other such exasperating answers, until I
am quite resigned never to be curious
again. Is it about this?"
"Perhaps, little one. Who cau tell?
It is about that fancy portrait that you
sketched. I want you to tell me all
about tho origin and development of
that idea."
At the mention of the portrait Mrs.
Maxey became visibly distressed.
"Has Dr. Lamar influenced you to
ask me that, Julian?"
Maxey averted his glance.
"Why, no, dear; only it was a very
strange picture for a young girl, for you
know you are only a girl yet, Annette.
I want to be sure that it is not some
thing you once saw and forgot. "
"Saw? In the flesh do you mean?"
Maxey started and looked at his young
wife with a troubled glance.
"That is a strange question, Annette. "
Nevertheless she Wits very grave and
earnest in what she said. She continued
in a tremulous voice:
"My husband, do' you believe in ap
paritions?" "Annette!"
"Do you want vour wife to believe in
them?"
"Of course I dou't."
"Then do not question me. "
"This introduction is highly calculat
ed to allay a man's curiosity. In tho
name of goodness, Annette, what do you
mean? How is the mere fact of my ques
tioning you going to cause you to be
lieve in anything?"
"Because it will cause me to think of
a dangerous subject. Oh, dear, I wish I
had never touched thai picture. It was
so foolish of me! I might have known
it would have led to this. But tho idea
fascinated mo so after it occuiTed to mo
that I was almost forced to ir. Julian,
do you desire it very, very much?"
She looked at him wistfully, as if sho
fondly dared to hope that lie would tako
-''lis
wm
Maxey averted her olanoe,
pity On tier manifest distress and say no.
But lie was immovable.
"I not only desire it very much, but
I consider it of extreme importance to
the happiness of OS both that you an
swer me fully mid freely."
"And whan 5 have done so you will
never refer to it again!"
"I promise yon, Annette, never."
Ho sealed his promise with a kiss.
Tko young wife clasped her arm?
about' her husband's neck and said tC
him:
"Then, Julian, dear, I will open my
wholo heart to you. For you to under
stand my thoughts and feelings ou the
subject I must talk about you ought tc
know a little episode in my childhood.
My mother, Mrs. Dye, was au intelli
gent -ruid thinking woman, littlo given
to suporstitions of any sort, and sho was
very particular that 1 should not grow
j i i i
.1 I I ' T W
W V Mil
ffi !
a ii
mvmm
up with any Miry notions about such
subjects in my head. But one time,
when I was about 16 years old, sho be
came interested in 'a tiook on spiritual
ism, which she picked up in n second
hand book store. She did not tell me all
that she thonght :uid felt in tho matter,
I am very sure, but I could plainly ob
serve a gradual alteration in her ways
and look:-, luid one day she nearly fright
ened me to death by going into what 1
afterward found was called tho trance
State. First she became ligid and then
spasmodic, :ind at last she began to talk
in unnatural voices. I was utterly una
ble to recognize my mother, and I was
so terrified that 1 ran out for a doctor.
Fortunately tho physician was a kind,
sympathetic man. Instead of laughing
at my alarm, he not only quieted my
fears for the time mid somewhat ex
plained the matter to me, but he gave
mo words of caution and advice for the
future which I have never forgotten:
" 'If you don't wish your mother to
frighten you tins way again, see that
she reads no more of tho sort of litera
ture she has indulged in lately and that
she goes to no more sittings. I have
qUOStioned her, and from w hat she tells
me, together with her evident tempera
ment and present health, I 'find that this
sensitive, if not dangerous, condition
into which she has brought herself is
owing entirely to iui unhealthy brood
ing on one subject' 'Surely you can
give her some medicine, then,' 1 said to
him, 'that will cure her. ' 'No, my deal
girl,' he replied, 'this matter is beyond
medicine. She thinks the world of you.
You can restore her to health better than
any one else. Try to interest her in oth
er things, Once got hor mind out of its
present unhealthy rut of thought, and
you will have no more trouble. These
things are entirely nervous in their ori
gin. Tho only way to cure thoiu ia by
allaying the excitement 1 In the end 1
found the physician hud told the truth.
As long as my mother continued to be
excited about and Interested in 'Spirit
ualistic Manifestation' she was liable to
the trances. But when, by my aid and
her own determined efforts, shy had ac
customed herself to think of other things
thi' trances left her and never returned.
Julian, dear, I suppose yon will say it
is silly and girlish, but 1 have an un
controllable horror and dread of these
things. They frighten me. I could con
ceive of no worse fate than to replace
the sunshine of my life with the dark
ness and gloom of a mind tortured by
such specters, and my fear is greater
because I fancy 1 am predisposed to such
things,"
"That is a morbid fancy, little wife,
growing, I fear, out of your unfortu
nately solitary and lonely childhood. A
few years of bird songs and blue sky
will cure you. Something has occurred
to you of late, dear, to remind you of
all this. Go OU, Don't lie afraid to tell
me."
"Yes, Julian, something did happen
tome. I don't know why it was. Perhaps
my head was weak from my sickness.
But in tho lirst days of my recovery, as
I lay there listlessly on tho bed, I fre
quently fell into trancelike states. I
have found out since that by resisting
the feeling wheu it first approaches 1
can break tho spell, but I was too weak
and lacking in determination then. This
grow upon me, and I became frightened.
I remembered what the doctor had told
mo about uiy mother, and by forcing
my mind to think of other things I hu"vo
succeeded in freeing myself from the
shadow. Tliat is why I have told no one,
not oven you. That is why I do not like
to bring it back again. "
"But I don't see what all this has to
do with the portrait," Maxey said won
deringly. "1 will tell yoii.Juliaii. It was in one
of those waking nightmares that I saw
that face. Don't malrc me tell it, Juliaul
Don't make me tell it!"
"God knowii I would do nothing to
cause my little wife a moment's uneasi
ness; but, darling, it so important to
our welfarb for yours ami mine that
you should speak. Lot it bo recalled
onco and then forgotten for all time. In
one of those drourus you saw that face?"
Sho answered him in a low voice:
"Yes, Julian. I was lying on the bed
there, in the alcove room. Something,
I don't know what to call it, came over
lae. It was more liko a waking dream
than anything I could name. My eyes
wero wide open all the time. I saw tho
room and the things in it, just as now. "
Sho clung clor.cr to her husband and
went on:
"I was lying thero in the alcovo room
looking toward the fireplace out there.
It was juft after I had been brought
back hero, before I had told you my sto
ry. I wivs watching the red coals in the
grate h-esent ly 1 lull a sinking, dreamy
sensation coming over me. I did not
understand it. I was too weak to make
any resistiuico to it It was in tho mid
dle of tho day, and the rodm was full of
light. But though the knowledge of that
foot never left me I felt that it had
suddenly become very dark. Al tho
light seemed to arise from something
bursting up into a great fluuio in tho
grate, and then between me and tho fire,
with the Btmng ghiro upon it, I saw
that face just as 1 have tried to draw it
I could see the man's arms and shoul

thing to the tight of thefiro and staring
at it. But that was dark. All this was
dim, but real real aii.you or tho room

understand such a thing, I never got the
real lire mixed with the fire that was in
my mind alouo. The grate was still
there behind the faco and shoulders. It

was what terrified me not then, for I

that disturbance came, the phantom
vanished like a flush. Afterward it came
to me in tho dosd of night and sudden
ly sprang up out of the darkness. Do
yon wonder that I was afraid such things
might get a hold upon me and tried to
banish it?"
"Then, in the name of all that is in
telligible, why did you sketch it?"
"Because, Julian, I wanted to make
it real. Thou if I must think of it at all
I could think of it as a picture drawn
upon oanvas and persuade myself that
it was no hobgoblin that was haunting
me. Perhaps you cannot ruidorstand this
feeling, but I fell you truly, after I had
materialised thnt face, it no longer had
tho same terror for me. Perhaps I ought
to have concealed my work, but I never
thought of your questioning me. Dr.
Lamar frightened me so. How could ho
ever guess what was in my mind?"
"If you had confided in Lamar, you
would havo dono better," said Maxey
excitedly. "Ho would not only have
driven away tho ghost, but ho would
havo explained him to your entire satis
faction. Why, Annette, if you should
hear Lamar talk, you would bo aston
ished to discover what au entirely sim
ple and scientific affair a ghost is. Let
me tell you something to relievo your
mind of Homo of its half superstititious
dread. That face you saw was tho
i'aco of a real man. Ho was your evil
genius, Annette; he it Was who took
away your name; he who made your life
so solitary and miserable; he who pushed
you from the sea road and unwittingly
gave you to me; ho who foUowed you
even here, while you lay in the alcovo
room helpless and sick, determined you
should die. He came here into this room,
and not being familiar with tho place
mistook in tho dark Ellen, who was
resting herself ou my bed, for you. Ho
choked het to prevent her eryiug out by
pulling the ends of the silk handker
chief which she wore ubout her neck.
Not quito sure oven then that it was
you, he dragged her to the fireplace and
tlirow in a liewspaiicr to give him light.
"The noise ho mudohad startled you.
Sick as you were, you understood in a
vague wuy perhaps Unit tliere was dan
ger near you, for we found you sitting
up in bed. One moment you wore look
ing into darkiuisa. The next the paper
flashed up, and you saw lus faeeglar
iug In the first moments of his surprise
and alarm at the unfamiliar features of
my sister. You photographed that sceue
on your mind, Annette. You know
what a power you have of visualization.
You remember how the doctor onco
questioned you about it, and you found
out what a phenomenon you were in
that direction. Is it so very strange to
you now that that picture should have
coine up into your mind again when
you were weak and ucrvous?"
The young wife looked at her hus
band, bewildered and wonderiug.
"I ouly dimly uuderstuud you, Ju
lian, Had I an evil genius? Who was
he? What had I dono that he should
wish me dead? Julian, you have learn
ed at last the secret of my life. What
is it?"
"Tomorrow, darling! Wait till to
morrow. "
"Is it best, dear?".
"I tlunk so. Little wife, do you re
member tho time when you were loath
to yield yourself to your love for me,
because you felt that in making a union
with a nameless girl I was running a
terrible risk?"
"Hush, Julian! My heart is iu my
mouth. That fear has never died. In
tho midst of all my happiness I have
never bewi strong enough to lift that
weight. Oh, I thought some day we
may be sitting here blindly happy in our
ignorance and the truth will cornel If
it is as I fear it may be, will Julian feel
still that his course was wiso? WiU ho
love me quite as much, quite as dearly
as before? Will there bo no shadow of
regret in his heart? Ob, my husband, if
I could believe there would be, I should
be so miserable I"
Julian gathered her to his heart and
kissed her with reckless freedom.
"Tomorrow, little wife, tomorrow,
you shall know what a fool I have made
of myself!"
"Lamar, I believo you are a wizard. "
"Why?"
"How do you arrive at your conclu
sions? It is almost too stramro for be
lief. What possessed you to question my
wite so closely the other day about tho
origin of that portrait?"
"Can't you guess? Had you forgot
ten?" "I tlou't understand yon. "
"No? Do you recollect the description
given by tho janitor of tho mysterious
lazy man whoso anxiety for your wel
fare .after Annette was brought hero was
sufficient to get him to the door, but
was never by any possibility strong
enough to induco him to mount tho
stairs? Don 't you remember the janitor's
description middle aged, smooth faco,
small eyes near together, bushy eye
brows, hooked nose and tho rest? Max
ey, I had boon keeping my eyo open for
such a looking individual ever since. Is
there anything very remarkable about
that?"
"Well, I should never have thought
of it You are tho most modest man. I
supposo you will also claim that thero
was nothing reinarkablo about your anal
ysis of the ghost?"'
"Oh, yes; I shall. That is different; that
is scientific. In that matter I am apt to
bo vain. Maxey, if you will carry your
memory back to a conversation wo had
in your sitting room somo mouths ago,
you will flattor mo by recollecting that
I almost predicted tho result of your
wife's power of visualizatioa After tlm
experiment of Dr. Bently and myself
with tho catj or rather the accident we
witnessed, for it was no plan of ours
and I became convinced that sho really
hail a remarkable unconscious power of
retaining in her mind tho imago of any
thing tliat impressed her, I thought a
good deal about it, and I distinctly rec
ollect telling you, when you wero ex
pressing some very callow views regard
ing the possibility of her remembering
events occurring duriug her illness, if
sho recovered her mind I distinctly
recollect telling you then thnt if sho
ever got well sho would havo absolute
ly no memory of that time, but that it
would bo perfectly possible for her to
carry a sceue into tho future; that, for
instance, I should not bo overwhelmed
with surprise if, though she could re
member neither of us, sho should paint
your picture or mine us an idea of hor
own. No; there is nothing at all mys
terious in this affair. It is presumable,
and it actually happened. By induct ion
and deduction both we have demonstrat
ed it, and even in science that is a rare
thing, my boy!"
"What a great thing is your science I"
cried, Maxoy. "It dissects a ghost as it
does a monkey's body and makes of a
grim and ghastly apparition tho most
natural event in tho world. "
Dr. Lamr smiled.
"I am glad to hear you talking sense.
Time was when you were a little skep
tical. Perhaps if your wife keeps on the
way sho has begun, affording illustra
tions of tho benefits of scionce, wo shall
even mako of you an evolutionist ono of
these days. ' 1
Maxey looked Berious.
"I shall hardly go as far as that, Eus
tace, but I am ready to acknowledge
that you do many wonderful things. "
"Aiid still wo are in our infancy.
Ono of these days, my boy, one of these
days!"
Truly this Mian was strangely hopeful
and exuberant for ono who had just bid
den a long farewell to a sweetheart.
