It twined Indeed th:it t!io artist's
prediction that tlio mystery of the nea
toad would remain a mystery forever
was destined to he fnlflllod. The day
cniuo ami went, ;uid there WON) no du
folopuenta to onooorage a faltering and
disKiixtrd police. It was tlio morn strange
booann a full description of poor An
nette had been published in au tho pa
pers, and there had boos a deal of in
terest in the matter. Dnt public Intoroit
to bo ki-pt alive lmit bo fod, and ono
moming tho city editors of tlio several
dailies awoke to find choice collection
of now material for Interesting reading
and straightway pigeonholed tho old
til! duller times. And so tho poor crea
ture with the wounded Intellect was for
gotten. A very rich man had suddenly and com
pletely disappeared under circumstances
so suspicious ns to warrant tho most
(hocking speculations, And the newspa
pers did not spare their readers' feel
ings. The reason was simply that tlio
newspapers had learned from long expe
rience) that tht ir readers did not desire
to l'o nparod in foot, would ho rather
inclined to resent any such forethought
on the part of the newsgatherers. For
this and the other good reason that tho
supplemental mystery of the assault on
Ellon Maxey never got into print at all
the matter dropped.
And so Maxey 's great double mystery
remained in spite of his almost frantic
attempts todispol it. No new clews ap
peared, and the old ones, like tho foot
steps iu I ho field at Somerset, led no
where. The poliee were discouraged, and
even Dr. Lamar pave it as lus opinion
that timo spent in looking into this mat
ter was timo wasted.
Miss Maxey fulfilled the physician's
predictions bv oettina well in a few
(lays, hut the poor, frightened faco that j
looked forth from the pillows in the lit
tle aid rve room was as pale and pitiful as
ever. Tho experiments with-mnsic, as a
power for good, which promised so
much in the beginning, justified Dr.
Lamar's forebodings in the end. Never
after that first day wcro tho emotions
aroused in the patient of sufficient
strength to cause her to lose conscious
ness, Music always attracted her, inter
ested her, even drove off for a timo that
monotonous motion of the hands which
seemed so dreadful to tho strong, healthy
pcoplo about her, hut it left no perma
nent impression. It was not progressive.
It was not an educator. Alas for honest
Julian's simplo and beautiful idea of
bringing her luck to her lost world I
The thought was too poetic fur reality.
In vain did pretty Ellen Maxey sing her
sweetest songs. The wan face still turned
With the same mute terror upon her sur
roundings. The eyes never ceased tho
restless search for the horror that did not
come, and tho small, whito hands con
tinued to clasp and unclasp themselves
as of old
But one day there was a change in the
symptoms. A peculiar spasmodic action
of tho muscles of the lace and limbs lie
tjan to manfost itself. When Dr. Lamar
taw this, his face lighted up with a sud
len hope.
For a long timo he had boon very
trrave. He had gone about in a continual
abstraction and had even been occasion
ally seen with his umbrella under his I
arm in fine weather, an unmistakable
indication that lie was becoming absent
minded. Never before had ho met with
a easo which baffled him so persistently
as this. From the hour when he knelt
beside her in the snow by the sea road
and had given his opinion that it was
a "very serious matter" the patient had
never been wholly out of his mind.
It made him angry to think that the
information contained in this first state
ment of his impressions of tho case as
ho bent over Ellen Mnxey's shoulder
and saw tho whito fcifo looking up by
the light of the lantern vas about the
iron and substance of all he had been
ttblo to learn sineo, but such was the
foot What more could ho say with any
certainty today than this? To bo snre,
it had puzzled older men than he, but
that was small consolation to a mind
like Lamar's. The greater tho obstacles
the more determined ho became toover
como them.
"Either I will be the death of this
problem or it will bo the death of me,"
ho said to himself, and with this con
viction ho had set to work to save his
own life. He saw tho patient so often
that ho photographed every look and
motion she was accustomed to maiio
upon his mind. Not the movement of a
muscle, not the twitching of an eyelid
escaped him. He went about studying
every one of these apparent trivialities
and trying to account for it.
Just ns Maxey treasured up overy
scrap of evidence) which 'promised to
throw any light on the great double
mystery which entirely nonplused the
police, so the physician, constituting
himself a medical detective, looked upon
tho various symptoms of tho girl's con
dition as so many clows to the great
pathological mystery which was baffling
him. During the weeks following the
discovery of Annetto he, reread almost
his entire library on brain diseases. Aft
erward he borrowed from a friend.
Ono night he came across a passago
which start led him. It was tho particu
lar statement of tho symptoms of a pa
tient in a German hospital who died
with a strange malady that completely
mystified tho physicians. The result of
the post mortem examination nppondcrt
showed that the secret cause of his death
was a cerebral complication, tho chief
factor in which was n tumor in the
brain. A footnote suggested that this
abnormal growth had probably boon
caused by a fall.
Perhaps it was because ho watched
with a new idea in his mind, but it was
the very next day, when Lamar renewed
his observations at tho bedside of the pa
tient in Rallavoine place, that ho detect
ed tho spasmodic symptoms for tho first
time. The result wan that ho became
convinced. He could scarcely conceal his
delight when ho camoto take his departure.

Miss Maxey was a quick reader of
faces, and of his faco in particular. She
stopped him at tho door tuid said shyly,
but determinedly:
"You have some good news for us,
but you aro so afraid that wo shall lie
disappointed that you hesitate to tell it':"
"No," said Lamar, "hut I think I
have located her disorder. However, I
am not au authority in this matter. I
shall bring some friends here, with your
leave, this afternoon. "
lie smiled so pleasantly to himself
that Ellen was delighted.
"Surely, if this be true, you will know
just what to do to euro her?"
"Cure? I said nothing about curing.
No. It is necessarily fatal iu its re
sults." She flashed ono look of horror and in
dignation into his face and tumcdnway
without a word. Poor Dr. Lamar forgot
to smile on his way to the street. But a
moment before he had felt a glow of pro
fessional pride in what he ventured to
hope was the success of a daring diag
nosis. As he emerged into the sunlight
an intimate friend might have thought,
from his crestfallen expression, that he
had met with a severe defeat.
However, this did not prevent him
from calling on some of his fellow phy
sicians, and that aftc moon a council of
grave and dignified men stood around
the bedside of poor Annette. If it Had
cost the artist anything, that littlo con
sultation in tho back sitting room would
have proved au expensive luxury. But
fortunately for him Dr. Lamar was his
friend, and there WAS sufficient interest
in the ease to make these vise and high
ly paid individuals in black coats think
it worth their while to have a hand iu
it for their own information,
While they were present tho nrtist
and his sister were excluded from the
room. When tho meeting was over, La
mar called them in. They found tho
physician rubbing his hands iu a state
of unmistakable elation. In fact, his
spirits were so high that they somewhat
obscured his vision. He did not seem to
notice Miss Maxey's presence, ami when
Julian asked him how the ease stixxl he
burst out with an enthusiasm which
would hare done credit to tho artist
himself.
"I was right! Iwnsrightl Tiny have
agreed with me exactly!"
Mis-; Maxey suddenly burst into tears
and left tho room.
"She is overjoyed!" cried Maxey.
"Unfortunately, no," said the phy
sician, biting his lip in vexation. "I
ought to have known better. I told her
"1 van rl'jhl! I was riiht!"
this morning that if my diagnosis was
correct the disease was necessarily fata!.
Yon must tell her, Max v, that I made
a mistake. I thought soat the time, but
I find I w;w mistaken. There is one
chance in A thousand that by submitting
to a dangerous operation which will be
very likely to either kill or euro her the
patient will recover. Without that oper
ation she is doomed to Buffering and
death."
"What an alternative!" cried Maxey,
aghast.
"I am sorry it is not in my power to
offer yon a better one, hut in the present
state of science I cannot. There is a re
lontless substance, no bigger than the
Ind of my little finger, remorselessly
oating its way into her brain. If it is al
lowed to go on unchecked, it will do its
fatal work, tho only way to cheek it is
to remove it. That is a rare and danger
ous experiment, which we read of indeed
in old books, such ns Sir Astley Cooper's
compilations of 50 years ngo, but so
rarely resorted to in practice that I did
not know until today it was successful
ly accomplished very recently in Eng
land. There is scarcely a precedent to
that operation. Now you understand tho
rase. It remains for yon to say whether
the patient shall go to the hospital and
bo opcrafeu upon or remain here and
die. "
"Woidd the operation, if successful,
restore uer to her mind and memory?"
questioned Maxey eagerly.
"It does not follow at all. The very
matter that has confused and baffled ail
our calculations so long is the complex
ity of the symptoms. Beside the epilepti
form symptoms arising from the tumor,
which, by the way, must have been well
along in its dangerous work before tho
accident at the beach road, there aro tho
psychical results of a curious mental
disturbance. Perhaps the mental trou
ble was the consequence of the fright
and would have been soon conquered but
for the work of the tnmor. All this is
conjecture. The possible result remains
to be seen. Shall I go on or not?"
Two hours later Maxey gave his reply:
"Goon."
TO pf. CONTINUED.
The T.nlcn Lilies.
Twelve miles north of Norwich, Conn.,
IS On of the most wonderful lily ponds iu
all America. It, is a lake ono mile in di
ameter, so closely grown with lilies that
during blossoming timo it is hard to
get a glimpse of tho water. When thi'
wind is strong and tho lilies aro open tho
perfume of them is perceptible a quarter
Of mile from the brink of the pond.
So thick are the lilies and in such tangled
masses that it is almost Impossible to pro
pel a boat in the pond, and the lily gath
erers have to wade for them in hip rubber
boots. Not only aro the lilies extraordi
narily plentiful, but tlio blossoms! aro mora
regal, jierfect, lustrous and of deeper hue
than iu other ponds. Huston Herald.

That sermon of Rev. Dr. Tnlrasns
last Sunday on the future opening to
womou contained many magmticent
things. Instance this: "I denounce the
idoii prevalent in socioty that though
our young women may embroider slip
pel's and crochot and mule mats for
lamps to stand on without disgrace,
the idea of doing anything for u liveli
hood is dishonorable. It is asluiuie for
a young woman beloniring to a large
family to be inefficient when the father
toils bu life away for her support. It
is a shame for a daughter to be idle
while her mother toils at the washtub
It is as honorublo to sweep house, make
beds, or trim hats, as it is to twist a
watch chain. As far as I can under
stand the line of respectability lies be
tween that which is usoful and that
which is useless. If women do that
which is of no value their
work is honorable. That our
young wcnieu ihmv escape the
censuro ot doing dlstionorable work
I shall particularize "You may knit a

Thor'cnt plea of Mrs. Mary Put

mittee before the Nw York constitu

one, that received uadivided attention
and many compliments. Among other
things Mrs. Jaoobi said:
