PART II.
This was what Hob Graham saw In
the glass: first of all, his own face and
shoulders, and then behind him the
face of a young girl. She might be
twenty, certainly not more; Indeed, she
looked younger even than that. It was
on ovnl face, nnd to Hob It was free
from all imperfection. The cliln was
bcnutlft'lly molded, and the lips he
could plainly see how red they were,
nnd how perfect. Member of the Hach--lrs'
club as he wns. he felt that he
would tfivo the world to kiss them.
They were lmrted too, as If in eager
expectation, reveal! ns g listening white
"THEN THE HAND RECKONED TO
HIM."
teeth. He saw the eyes, too, large nnd
pray. They shone on hltn with won
drous brightness, nnd the look In them
wns full of mirth, and yet he 1hiught
he saw terror as well. Above the eyes
was a crown of brown hair. It seemed
like a nimbus around the head, so
brightly did the curling locks shine.
The neck was white and bare, while
around the shoulders were garments
that were entirely strange. Evidently
they belonged to the last century, or
perhaps even farther back than that,
indeed, he thought he remembered
them as belonging to the Queen Anne
period.
He tried to arouse himself, but could
not; he tried to take his eyes away
from the face In the glnss, but In vain.
Presently he thought he saw a change
come over the face. The look of mirth
seemed to die away from the eyes, nnd
the laughter from the Hps. He saw the
Kill's hand rise, while the forefinger
.was bent; then the hand beckoned him,
and he saw her lips move and although
he could hear no sound he thought the
word that the lips expressed was
"Help!"
He was overcome with terror, nnd a
burning desire came Into his heart to
render the young girl the service which
he thousht she desired. He Jumped up
from the chah' and rubbed his eyes,
although why he should do this ho did
not know. Then he looked towards the
mirror ngnln.
The face was gonl!
He threw from hltn the weight which
seemed to oppress him. then he turned
towards the door. It was closed. He
opened It, and went out on th land
ing. All was silent as death. He went
back Into his room, took the lamp from
the table and brought it on the land
ing, peering cautiously around. Notn
lng wus to be seen. Evidently the fam
ily had gone to bed and were asleep,
so he came back and looked into the
mirror again. It reflected the room
perfectly, but the face was not to be
seen. He examined the room, he tried
to find some secret door, he went from
corner to corner, he looked under the
bed, he searched behind the curtains.
No, the room was perfectly empty.
He poked the fire and threw a log
of wood on the embers. He felt It was
no use going to bed, he could not sleep.
His mind was very active Just then,
and he wanted to understand what it
meant. So he sat down In the '"saddle
bag chair" again and tried to think of
some clew whereby the mystery might
be explained, but after half an hour's
meditation he had not advanced a step.
He wns not afraid. The vision of the
face had brought no terrors with It,
nay rather, he loved to think about It.
"No, I was not asleep," he mused;
"I'm sure I was perfectly awake per-
A healthy
woman expert,
ences the great-
haooiness of all
her life when her first
born nestles in her
neck. Motherhood is
a woman's duty and
should be her joy.
There are thousands
of women to whom
motherhood is a tor.
J"53fc2IiC ture because of weal:-
- ness and disease of
the organs that make it possible. This is
wrong and need not be. If a woman will
but study the physiology of the organs dis
tinctly feminine, and learn to take the prop
er care of her health to take the proper
remedy for weakness and disease peculiar
to her sex, motherhood will become an un
alloyed pleasure, where now it is dreaded
. and avoided for its pains and dangers.
The beat medicine for a woman to take
during the period preceding motherhood is
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is the
only medicine for this purpose invented by
a regularly graduated, skilled and expert
specialist in the treatment of the peculiar
diseases of women. It cures all weakness
and disease of the organs that perpetuate
the race. It makes them strong and vigor
ous. It rids the expectant period of its
usual discomforts. It insures baby's health
and makes its coming easy and almost pain
less. It is the discovery of Dr. R. V. Pierce,
chief consulting physician of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
. N. Y. .Women who wish to know more of the
' " Favorite Prescription " should write him.
Frederick Frederick, of No. 1114 S. Second St.,
Camden, N. J., writes: " My wife is a customer
of yours. She has used ' Favorite Prescription ' to
prevent minctrriage. She had sickness last
July, and suffirrd untold misery from a severe
pom. I repeatedly told her to use your medi
cines, but she persisted in going to a so-called spe
cialist, whose treatment only made her more sick
and miserable. Then she used the 'Favorite
Prescription' and was cured."
Pleasure. It is a matter of health alone.
Nothing else. A healthy man can't be un
happy if he wants to. Much sickness is
caused by constipation. Dr. Pierce's Pleas
ant Pellets cure constipation. :
OF A FACE
ra, m fx
, 1!
fectly awake. I was as much aware
of what was going on as I am now.
The face was real enough, the dress
was real, and yet and yet"
He thought it all over again point by
point, he remembered the page he had
been reading In the "Confessions," he
recalled the strange feeling that crept
over him.
"Can it be the spirit of that girl?"
he asked himself. "Is there anytning
in that foolish story? A girl murdered
in this very room, eh? Hut why did she
appear in such a way? No, it cannot be
that; but how is it to be explained?"
He got up nnd walked around the
room. He was getting excited.
"It brought no terror!" he cried.
"How could it? It was a beautiful
face more beautiful than anything 1
ever dreamed of. Good and pure!" He
thought of his words to Herbert Walk
er and laughed. "Yes, It was good and
pure!" he repeated. "I'd give some
thing to see It again. Why !"
He stopped suddenly; his eyes acted
strangely. "I mustn't make a fool of
myself!" he cried. "I know it's not the
thing to smoke in a bed room; but Mr.
Walker is a good old sort, and a cigar
always sets nie right. I'll have a
smoke; it'll bring me back to my
senses."
His hands trembled so that he could
hardly hold the match; even when the
'l:nr wns lit he could not tell whether
he wus smokini; good tobacco or cab
bage leaves, and utter a few minutes
he threw it down.
"I must be getting mad!" he cried.
"The face haunts me; I shall never rest
till I see that face again! What makes
my heart thump so? Oh, 1 wish I
wish it would appear again!" and he
looked long and steadily into the mir
ror, but nothing: appeared.
Again he paced the room, uttering
nil sorts of impatient exclamations as
he did so, and then after half an hour
of this exercise he threw himself on the
chair again.
"It's no use," lie cried; "I shall never
rest till I see that face again, never!
It's no use denying It, I'd give all the
world, If 1 had it. to kiss those lips! 1
I Yes, I'm in love with a face!
Whether It has a real existence or not
1 don't know, luit I'm in love! Yes,
I'm in love! My word, surely a fellow
was never In such a position before!
What can It mean?"
He looked at his watch. It was three
o'clock. The oil in the lamn wub ex
hausted and the light was beginning to
die out and the tire had got low again.
Then like one in a. dream he undressed
and got into bed.
When he got down the next morning
he found Mr. Wulkerand Herbert wait
ing for him.
"Hud u good night, Bob?" asked Her
bert. "Yes, a gin ml night," he replied.
"Von weren't frightened by the
ghost of the nuirdered woman, then?"
"No, I wasn't frightened. I've had a
splendid night."
"Well, you're late, anyhow, and If
you don't make haste vou'U not catch
the one good train from here to Lon
don. You are sure you'll not stay and
meet the girls?"
"No," he replied, although he wished
afterwards that he had suld yes.
"Well, I wish you Joy In your lonely
den In (irime street. I'm thankful that
I was able to arrange for a day or two
longer, and you nre a fool not to have
a good time. Why, the house'll be altu
gothtr different when the girls are
around. We shall have a grand time
tonight."
"You are very good," replied Bob,
"but I'll get back to London."
Neither Herbert Walker nor his fa
ther pressed him to stay, and a few
hours later Hob wns In London. His
landlady brought him some tea, and
after he had partaken of a rather scan
ty meal he sat down before the tire
in his little room.
He was strangely happy, and yet very
subdued. Somehow the last twenty
four hours had made the world new to
him, nnd he could not understand why
his heart thumped so loudly. His mind
was full of fancies, too; he had all sorts
of wild longings. For the first time in
his life he knew what romance meant.
"It's no use," he said, at length; "I'll
give up all thoughts of writing. I'll
swallow my prldo and go back to the
law. I'm sure old ltimmer will give me
a chance. If only for father's sake.
Poor old dad, he didn't think when he
was alive that his son would be a
scribbler for less than twenty-five shil
lings a week. No, I'll go back to the
law again. I'll" , Put even as these
thoughts were shaping themselves in
his mind the face in the mirror came
back to him. He could see It almost as
plainly as when he was startled by It
at Heeehwood. He closed his eyes and
he could see It still. The great gray
eyes still shone upon him, the rosy lips
were parted, as if they would speak
to him.
"Shall I go back to the law?" He said
this aloud, and it seemed to him as if
the Hps said "No."
"I think I must be losing my head,
said Bob; but if he were, he was not
desirous of finding It again. It was
bliss beyond words to sit there and
dream and see visions.
snd so, with eyes closed, he watched
the face, which he could still see plain
ly, and somehow it seemed to tell him
something.
"The face Is an Inspiration," cried
Bob, "a real inspiration. I feel as
though I could write now."
He took a number of loose sheets of
paper from a drawer, and commenced
to scribble.
"It has more In It than I thought,"
he said; "there Is enough In It for a
book. Yes. It's good for a short story.
I must work It out fairly," and again
Bob gave himself over to dreaming.
From that time he never attended
the meetings of the Bachelors' club, he
no longer shunned society. Rather, he
courted It. But wherever he went, the
face he had seen in the mirror hnunted
him. It became a sort of Ideal to him.
It was his standard for women's faces.
It was at once a rebuke and an Inspi
ration him. Moreover, he felt that
somehow he was connected with the
face. It was In some way his own, and
It was sacred to him.
He had no difficulty In writing from
that time. The story which came to
him on the 26th of December never
dragged. All the time he had at his
disposal he devoted to it. and the writ
ing was an unspeakable Joy. It did
not seem to him that he was writng a
story the plot of which had been care
fully planned. He simply told a dream
which had come to him a dream of
beauty and joy.
And yet there was a sense In which
Bob was far from happy. There was a
great hunger In his heart. He longed
to see In the flesh the face which
haunted him; he felt that she lived,
and he knew he loved her. He wan
dered amoni London streets, he went
to places of amusement, he visited
churches, and wherever he went he
gazed engerly in the hopes of seeing In
reality what he concluded he must have
seen in the vision. He was always dis
appointed, however.
He cave tap the Idea of being an or
iginal young man and yet, had he
known It, he was now passing through
an experience which was- far from
common. He was in love with a wo
man he had never seen; he was in love
with that which might have no exist
ence other than In his own mind. And
yet all the time he felt there was a
soul behind those great gray eyes; he
felt that he should never rest until
the face In the mirror appeared before
him in tangible form.
The Influence of the face was always
good. Whenever he was tempted to do
a mean thins, when the worst side of
London life cast its s;ell upon him,
the memory of the face broke the spell.
His love, foolisf; as it mibht be. kept
his life pure, lie might only be loving
an ideal, but o love a true Ideal is a
great salvation.
At length he finished his book, and
he took it to a publishing house and
asked to ee the manager. The gen
tleman was very indite, proumised that
Bob's story should be carefully fead.
made a mental observation to the effect
that he seemed a tine, capable young
fellow, and then forgot all about him.
A few days later, however, the
"reader" brought a favorable report of
Bob's story, and recommended its ac
ceptance. Soon after this Bob, after being In
the city, came to his room and found
two leters awaiting him. One was
from the publisher offering terms for
his story; the other was from Mr.
Kliiiincr, solicitor, telling him that his
1 n

mother's only sister had just died, leav
ing him a considerable sum of money.
This letter was typewritten, but tlio
old lawyer had with his own hand
written another to the effect that he
hoped he would now give up his tom
foolery about literature, and come back
to the law again. He moreover stated
that he thought of setting up an ollice
in London, as his practice was in
creasing In that direction. Why not in
vest a part of his fortune in becoming
a partner, and take charge of the Lon
don ollice?
"You ure a good lawyer, although you
gave it up foolishly," concluded the old
num. "1 would not have offered you
this chance otherwise. Be wise, my
lad."
1'nconsclously Bob thought of what
"the face would say to this. Once she
hud said "No;" now, ns he tried to
think of wluit she would like hiin to do,
she seemed to hnve no reality.
After some correspondence with his
old master, however, he accepted his
oiler, uud settled down to the law
again. The acceptance meant n
struggle for him, for he hail set his
heart upon winning fame as an author;
but when he tried to write another
story, he could think of nothing. His
vision hud gone. He realized, more
over, on reudlng the proofs of the novel
which had been accepted, that he hud
simply told the il renin of his own life.
The face he hud seen In the mirror was
the face of his heroine, and after he
had told his hopes and fancies about
her, there seemed to bo nothlug more to
say.
