CHAPTER X.
Wendham crossed tho room quick
ly, Intercepting a passing servant.
"Ask If I may see Mrs. Gaynor." He
turned, addressing himself to Mrs.
Evelyn. "Who Is Mrs. Gaynor's phy
sician?" he asked. "I consider her
case critical. If you would ask her,
we might send for him physicians'
etiquette, you know."
Mrs. Evelyn opened wide blue
eyes. "Dear mo! don't you know
that Nellie thinks she Is all sorts of
a doctor herself? She never calls
anyone In. No, Indeed! She pre
scribes a little strychnine If she
doesn't cat, and a lltUo chloral If
she doesn't sleep--and there you
are."
"And there you're likely to be
not!" exclaimed Alice. "You don't
mean to say !" Dr. Wendham was
gone. "I don't wonder ho was up
set," continued Alice. "I'm glad you
tipped him off."
Mrs. Evelyn took up tho paper.
"I suppose you heard, Alice, what
they found ot about John?" She
had recovered her tone of aloof
ness. "No," said Alice, "I didn't."
"It's too bad," the hostess re
marked. "I do hate to lose a house
keeper." Alice rose with a bound. "What,
has John stolen, Mrs. Creeks? John's
a hero!"
"No," answered Mrs. Evelyn with
complete llteralncss; "no, he didn't
do that. But she didn't investigate
his references properly. It seems
that the man has been In jail and
had forged letters; recommendations
fron- people traveling on the Trans
Siberian roads or something, and
somebody who had been Consul
somewhere. Creeks liked tho tone
and tho stationery, and took a
chance. I wish Mrs. Lawdon would
go away, she continued. It an
noys me to see her around. She cx
amines me as if she expected me to
appear in her lost diamonds little
yellow cat!"
A nervous stop drew their atten
tion. Evelyn entered.
"Where's Wendham?" he inquired
abruptly.
Alice nodded toward the stains.
"Gone to prescribe for Mrs. Gaynor,
I fancy."
"Um!" ho growled impatiently.
"I want to see him. Confound this
business!" he broke out; "It's got
more turns to It than a the Briar
cliff course!"
"Yes," said his wife, going to him
paper in hand. "Have you seen
this?"
"That and a dozen more," he
snapped. "I'm sick of the sight of
the whole outfit. And as for the
Lawdons that woman's a skirling
harpy!"
Alice jumped. "Skirling harpy!
Thanks, dear old man, one thousand
times! Banzai! I couldn't think
what I wanted to say; but you have
it 'skirling harpy!' Far be it from
me to engage in a tilt of words with
one so gifted oh! 'skirling harpy'!"
"If you're through with that," ex
claimed Evelyn with unwonted
harshness, "run up to Nellie's room
and ask Wendham to join me as soon
as he can."
"No sooner said than done,"
called Alice as she disappeared. A
moment later she returned, followed
by the physician.
"Cass," he said quickly before that
gentleman could open his mouth,
"send some one out for this and
this, immediately." He signed the
Blips with his fountain pen. "I find
her condition most unsatisfactory,"
he added; "there Is every symptom
of brain fever. Now, Mrs. Evelyn,
with your permission, I will tele
phone for a nurse."
"Is Nellie so very ill?" asked Eve
lyn, startled from his own concerns.
"Very, I'm afraid."
A very silent and troubled group
watched him hurrying down the cor
ridor. Mrs. Evelyn was the first to
break their tangled thoughts.
"There, now. That Lawdon wo
man has made Nellie ill. My dear,
I'll never ask anyone to oblige any
one in order to be considerate of
anyone again. It's perfectly ridicu
lous! Alice, let's go upstairs and
see if Adele needs help, or if we can
arrange matters more comfortably."
The two ladles withdrew, leaving
Evelyn alone in tho cheerful morn'
lng room. Ho paced tho floor nerV'
ously. His brow was knitted, his
hands clenched. Life had become
far too strenuous to suit his placid
nature.
A moment later Wendham en
tered.
"She's coming the nurse, I mean.
Old man, It's serious, and I want
your permission to take charge."
"You have It," said Evelyn
promptly. "What you say goes."
"Mrs. Gaynor must not see any'
one except the nurse, her maid, and
myself under any circumstances."
"Oh," said Evelyn, "and Polly
and Alice have just gone to her."
Wendham made a gesturo of lm
patience. "She's sleeping they'll
have sense enough not to wake ner.
Now, you wanted mo. Is there any
further trouble?"
Evelyn's faco was puzzled. "1
don't know what you'd call It. I've
just had an interview with Dawson."
"They'yo caught him?"
"No," said Evelyn; "he came back
and gave himself up to me. No ono
else knows he's here, except the gar
dener's wife, who's a sort of cousin
of his. She came this morning and
told me that 6ome one wished to
speak with me privately at the cot
tage. Of course, I thought of tho
detectives, and went. He was there..
You could have floored n;e with a
straw. The upshot of the whole
matter Is this. The fellow says he
funked and ran away because he was
sure his past would find him out and
he'd bo taken on circumstantial evi
dence. Swears he had nothing
whatever to do with the robbery,
and sticks to it that he did see Adele
near tho Lawdons' door. He says
he was tempted to hold her up and
mako her divide the spoils, but when
he saw her stand It down he got
frightened and ran for It. He owns
he's been a scamp, but swears he
forged those recommendations only
in order to get a new start, ana witn
every Intention of keeping straight
once he was established in the way
of making his living and, Wend
ham, I believe him. I can't help it.
Now, I don't know where we are.
The man has thrown himself on my
morcy. There's tho circumstantial
evidence, and that Lawdon woman
hot for blood; but an the other hand.
there's Nellie ill, and she's taken
the accusation against Adele to
heart so well I'll be hanged,
Boyd, if I know what move I ought
to make."
Wendham thought quickly. With
the clew of the valet's disappear
ance removed, the trail led back
aealn to Adele and then he shud
dered. At any rate he must have
full knowledge in order to protect
the woman he loved from danger
direct or indirect. "See here," he
spoke sharply, "I've an Idea I can
got the truth out of Adele if anyone
can. As a doctor I've had a varied
experience. Now, before you tell
anybody about Dawson, before you
make any move at all. let mo have
an interview with her alone, there
In your private office. I'll do it now,
and you keep watch for me, for I
positively must not bo interrupted.
Is it a go?"
Evelyn almost smiled, so relieved
was he that anyone would assume
the responsibility of action.
"Go on, Boyd you're a brick. I'm
I'm everlastingly obliged to you!"
"I'll bring her here." said Wend
ham; "and if you'll have the kind
ness to stay in mo arawiug-ruum,
vom can see that no ono comes in.
I'll go for her."
Evelyn settled himself in an easy
chair in the drawing-room, whence
he could see tho entrance to the gun
room, the main staircase and hall.
and the farther entrance to tue
brakfast room. The house was as
quiet as If deserted.
CHAPTER XI.
Wendham went directly to Mrs.
Gaynor's suite and knocked gently.
He found his patient resting witn
feverish heaviness. By her side sat
Adele. her faithful eyes fixed with
solicitous adoration upon the sleep
er's face.
"Adele," said Wendham softly, "I
have some instructions to give you.
I must explain the use of some ap
paratus. Como downstairs."
Mrs. Gaynor stirred at the sound
of his voice, seemed on the point of
waking, but settled once more among
the pillows. The physician signed to
tho servant.
"Tell the maid, whichever one
cares for this floor, to bo on hand
In case Mrs. Gaynor needs her."
Adele rang tho corridor bell, and a
moment later the maid approached.
"Wait here, near the door," Wend
ham ordered. "Mrs. Gaynor is rest
ing now, but she might wake and
need attention. I must give this girl
some special Instructions."
He conducted his charge rapidly
across the gun room to the quiet of
Evelyn's private office. In spite of
his will his heart beat heavily and
his throat contracted In fear of what
revelations might como.
Without effort he calmed himself.
"Sit here," he said, indicating the
end of the divan. The light poured
through the uncurtained window.
The woman's face was calm and at
tentive. "You realize, I suppose,"
ho began gently, "that your mistress
is very ill?"
"I was nirald so," she answered.
"I wish to be certain," he con
tinued, drawing his chair close to
the girl, "that you are strong
enough to take charge of tho case,
until we bring in a trained nurse.
You suffer from neuralgia, do you
not?" He passed his hands gently
over her forehead and face. "Let me
see your eyes." Sho turned to him.
His fine hands wove a slow pattern of
gestures before her. "You are In
pain now?"
"Yes," she nodded, a wrinkle
forming between her level brows.
"In great pain. If you sleep now,
you will be rested and able to take
care of your mistress; Will you sleep
now sleep sleep." His voice be
came Insistent and soothing.
Sho nodded, sighed heavily, and
succumbed slowly.
He rose, caught her relaxed body
and straightened It upon tho divan.
For a moment ho held her pulse,
then lifted the white eyelid and
lo"vM nt tho pvr'1 hcnrr"i.
"You are asleep sound asleep?"
his tone was half question.
"Yes," came her voice, strangely
dulled, as If far away.
"I want you to remember some
things for me. Mrs. Gaynor wants
mo to know she wants you to tell
me because I can help her. Where
did you hide the diamonds you took
from Mrs. Lawdon's room?"
Without hesitation, and in the
same placid, remote voice, sho ans
wered. In spite of the suspicion that
had become conviction, this direct
ack.ijwledgment stunned him. In
the intensity of his emotion his at
tention strayed from tho details of
tho woman's confession.
"Tell me that again," he ordered.
"Repeat It slowly."
Obediently, with measured utter
ance, she began again. "The ivy
grows under tho window. There is
a nail In the brickwork; a wire Is
tied to It. 1 reached It from the
window. The bag Is red leather, like
the bricks; its on the end of the
wire. You can't see It from outside,
and the nail and wire are like those
set for the vines." Her voice trailed
off in a murmur of deep sleep.
"Tell me, remember well where
did you get that' bag?"
"My lady gave It to me."
"When did you take those Jewels
from the hat box?"
"When everyone was at dinner."
"Who told you to?"
"My lady told me to find these
things that were hers to be sure
that no one saw me. A key hangs
with many others on a ring beside
the mirror; it is flat and has two
grooves and a round hole at the top."
During the latter part of the sen
tenco the girl's voice changed. It
was as if a phonographic record had
been turned on, so perfect was the
reproduction of Nellie Gaynor's
voice. The effect was almost terri
fying, yet a strange tenderness to
ward the erring woman filled his
heart. Even in her crime she had
spared her tool the consciousness of
wrongdoing. Sho had directed her
to take her mistress's proper belong
ings from a place indicated. Then
knowledge mocked him. An honest
will cannot be blindly driven to
crime, even whqn subservient. Yet
he clung to the gentler interpreta
tion striving to find some comfort
where palliation and excuse were de
nied. "Did anyone see you when you
left the room?" he asked.
"Yes. I was far down the corri
dor. He spoke and passed me. I
did not answer."
Wendham bent over her. His jaw
was set with determination, his
brows drawn with pain.
"Tell me. and remember carefully,
have you ever taken your mistress's
jewels before from other places?
Think well."
"Yes," she said slowly.
"When you were stopping in
Dougliiston, what was it that time?"
"My lady's long string of pearls.
I went back for them; my lady had
forgotten them, and told me whore."
"How did you get Into the
house?"
"I came in in veils and a long
coat, like "
A cry and report so close and
loud that the air seemed rent by the
explosion.
Wendham leaped to his feet.
The doorway framed a group in
tragic violence. Nellie Gaynor. gray
as death, a silken garment flung
over her nightdress, where quickly
spread a crimson stain, was clinging
gasping to tho shaking arm of Eve
lyn, while on the floor at her feet
lay a heavy 44.
"Good God!" he cried.
"Look, look!" stammered Evelyn
"Is she dying?"
A flask of intelligence came to
Nellie's eyes. She opened her set
teeth to speak, but her utterance
was choked in blood.
Suddenly Wendham straightened.
the habit of tho physician mastering
him.
"The wound Is in the neck
there's a chance." He spoke quickly
and his eyes commanded Evelyn's
explicit obedience.
Already cries and the rush of hur
rylng feet announced the arrival of
the frightened household.
"It was an accident. She has brain
fever, Evelyn. She Is entirely out of
her head. I will bring Adele." He
laid Nellie In Evelyn's arms, and
sprang within the den.
Tho unmoved sleep of the woman
contrasted like the awful incongruity
of a nightmare, with the scene enact
ed so closo beside her.
"Wake up! Wake up! Adele.
Wake quickly forget our talk. Your
mistress needs you. She Is hurt
come!" His swift hands flew above
the girl's still features. She sat up
as if dazed. "Your mistress needs
you she is hurt. Go to her, then
run for a bowl of water. Get me ab
sorbent cotton."
Her mind, still receptive, seized
upon his orders. Rising, sho ran
from the room In swift obedience.
Alice Rawlins was first upon the
scene. Wendham raised to her a
faco of marble.
"Mrs. Gaynor has hurt herself in
her delirium. Go to my room and
bring me down both my emergency
cases. They are on the closet shelf
quick!"
As each member o.' tho startled
household arrived, thoy were as In
stantly dispatched upon a necessary
errand, while he busied himself In
deft relief for the sufferer.
"What did you jee?" he demanded
under his breath of Evelyn "quick!
speak low."
"I heard a swish. Sho was run
ning from the ball to the gun room
llko a wild thing. She hesitated as
If not knowing where to turn. I
.1 imped up. nun iuii trom me into
the gun room 1 was after her, about
to call, when she stopped short,
looked in at your door there, throw
up her hands, and then snatched at
that pulled It from tho rack toward
her. Of course It went off. That
set Is always kept loaded."
"You looked up and saw her play
ing childishly with a revolver and
called to her; she turned and It went
off in her hand. Do you under
stand?" "Yes," nodded Evelyn, "I under
stand." "She has been out of her head for
twenty-four hours you all know."
"Yes," said Evelyn.
"Now go, explain to the confound
ed pollco and the rest. She'll live If
no vital arteries are cut."
Evelyn rose as his wife and Adele
camo up.
Mrs. Lawdon, who was running
across the polished floor, paused,
and turned white.
"How dreadful!" she exclaimed.
"Can I do anything?" Already she
was backing away. "Anyhow, it's
Mr. Evelyn's fault. 1 think it's
criminal to keep a stock of loaded
firearms about." She clapped her
handkerchief to her mouth. "Oh,
how sickening! It makes me 111!"
She turned and fled.
Limp and white, but more than
half conscious, Nellie lay upon the
divan where she had been carried
For a moment they were alone, and
as Boyd bent above her, her eyes,
full of agony and despair, met his.
Her pale lips moved,
"You know," sho whispered with
painful effort. "You know I don't
want to live!"
He smoothed back tho hair from
her forehead with a touch Infinitely
protective and tender.
' "I'm taking care of you in every
way Trust me!"

Circus Lessons.
Discipline is one of the spokes in
the circus system wheel, says a writ
er in the Cosmopolitan. In tho
modern circus no swearing is al
lowed, as women and children can
hear it. Cards, dice and drink are
prohibited. This is not the concep
tion which the public holds concern
ing circus people, but strength and
steady nerves are needed for circus
feats, and dissipation of any kind,
would soon leave tho performers
without a profession.
When a big American circus was I

system so impressed him that he hail
some of the officers of the German j
army see it and adopt some of their
methods.
In landing tho circus outfit the
first man there is the "layer-out."
He generally decides in about ten
minutes where his tents are to be
placed. As the building of the white
city proceeds, everything seems to bo
confusion, a tangled mass. Men are
running every way; wagons seem to
be dumping their loads promiscu
ously; but every wagon Is lettered or
numbered, so is every box or trunk,
and all have their proper places
This great jumble of wagons, groan
ing and creaking In the soft turf and
men shouting and singing is clj,
working as one great whole to an
end.
But although they all work to
gether, each man is taught to think
for himself, and when a man shows
ability, he Is soon noticed. One In
stance of this was afforded by a
young man who was studying medi
cine in the winter, and thought a
season in the fresh air would harden
him for his next winter's work. The
only job he could get was as a can
vas man. 'But he was able to think
for himself, and promotion soon
came.
The circus child is not taught by
blows, but by kindness and patience,
and the circus management insists
that every child shall 50 to school

PORCUPINE DESTROYS TREES.
California Forests Suffer from tha
Pernicious Activity of the Animals.
Reports made to tho local forest
bureau from Bishop, Inyo county, Indi
cate that the porcupine is seriously
damaging the lodgepolo pine forests
of tho eastern slope of the Sierras.
Practically the entire area of the Inyo
national forest has been affected to
some extent. In somo localities the
damaged trees aggregate as high as
twenty-five per cent, of the total
stand. While these areas are not
large, forest service authorities de
claro that it is evident If someth'ng
is not done to curb them much of the
timber In the Inyo reserve win be de
stroyed. The porcupine feeds to a
large extent during the winter months
upon the inner bark of the pine, and
In order to obtain food he Birdies the
trees, eating the bark and eventually
destroying the trees. As the animal
visits several trees in a single night
to satisfy his hunger the damage
done by one animal Is considerable.
Electricity as a Carrier.
Does an electric current, when pass
ing through a metal conductor, cause
any transportation of particles? It
Is well, known that It does so In the
liquid ' conductors known as elec
trodes; In fact, such a common opera
tion as electroplating depends entire
ly upon this action. To test the mat
ter a recent experimenter passed an
electric current contlnously for a
whole year through a conductor com
posed prtly of copper and partly of
aluminum, the sections bttag pressed

year they were taken apart and ex
amined, but not the slightest trace of
either metal was found In the other.

THE WOMAN OFMFOIY
NEW LIFE AWAITS HER AFTER
CHILDREN ARB GROWN.
Sho May Have Any of a Dozen Tal
ents In Other Lines But Neither
She Nor tho World Bo Better.
By Charlotte Perkins Gilnian.
The woman of fifty, whose chil
dren havo all grown .up and left her,
Is likely to think that her work is
over and her life done, but her llfo
Is, on the contrary, just beginning.
She is not so taken up with being
a woman now, and can realize at
last her Individual character. Here
tofore her personality has beea sub
merged In the groat common experi
ence of love, marriage and matern
ity. Sho may have had any ono of
a dozen talents In other lines, but
neither sho nor the world is the bet
ter for U. She may have preferred
other occupations; she may havo
particularly disliked this one; hut
neither capacity, preference nor dis
taste made any difference. A wife
and mother, she must also be a
nurae and housekeeper for better or
worse.
One wonders sometimes, noting
the wide difference In housekeeping
and in child culture, whether that
"better or worse" clause was not
put In on account of them. If i' is
"better," the family Is more com
fortable; If It is "worse," the family
Is more uncomfortable; but, which
ever It .s, the woman must spend all
her young years at It, and person
ality slumbers. Is there any loft
when one 1r fifty? Is not the re
mainder a mere shell a husk or a
remnant of what was once a woman,
all her womanhood accomplished?
That's what wo have always thought.
We have peacefully taken It for
granted that she who had so patient
ly obllberated herself In the Inter
ests of her family should stay oblit
erated on general principles for all
the rest of her life.
There is no reason why the wo
man of fifty should stay obliterated.
She has ten. twenty, thirty years
still to live, and in ten years of well
directed effort, free from tho blun
ders and backstops of youth, what
may she not do? "Once disentan
gled from the dinging mounds of
I domestic habit, she finds, to her In
tense surprise, a fountain of youth
springing up within her. Sho can cm
plov the green earth as much as sho
1 ever did: more, if her soul has grow
over r'I',1; more, if her soul has grown.
She on 11 tnke up somo trado or busi
ness if sho wants money something
perhaps along tho line that has
previously occupied her. Sho can
travel if she can afford it, study If
s'ie has time and wishes to go in
for somo kind of public work, if
that appeals to her, or she may slm-"
ply "loaf" for a while and "Invite
her soul." And what of the family?
Is nothing to be lost by the eman
cipation of a budding grandmother?
W'l John at sixty-flve object to
these now courses? There will be
no difficulty about any of these
things. To say the truth, tyrant
man is not half so black as he is
painted. Neither is he as raptur
oua'y content with the average wife
ai. '. mother as the poets and some
novelists would havo us believe.
There is room for a cheerful hope
that tho man of fifty-five will spend
the rest of his days quite as com
fortably with the active, happy, se
ful, growing woman that is in watch
ing tho gradual decadence and ex
tinction of tho woman who was.
A Successful Housekeeper.
A woman to be a successful house
keeper needs to be devoid of inten
sive "nerves." She must be neat and
systematic, but not too neat, lest
she destroy the comfort she endea
vors to create.
She must be affectionate, sympa
thetic and patient, and fully appre
ciative of the worth and dignity of
hor sphere.
Now, If a woman cannot broil a
beef steak, nor boil the coffee when
It is necessary, if she cannot mend
tho linen, nor patch a coat; if she
cannot make a bed, nor ventilate
the house, nor do anything practical
In the way of making a home ac
tually a home, how can she expect
to be a successful housekeeper.
She needs to educate herself In
the art of domestic virtues, to mako
a real "Home, Sweet Home."
She should hava a place for every
thing and keep everything in its
place. Remember and put In prac
tice tho motto, "Never put oft 'till
to-morrow that which you can do
to-day."
Thus the poorest dwelling presid
ed over by a virtuous, thrifty, cheer
ful and cleanly woman, may be the
abodo of comfort, virtue and hap
piness; it may be endeared to man
by many delightful associations, fur
nishing a sweet resting place after
labor, a consolation In misfortune,
a -pride In prosperity and a Joy at
all times.
