"Oh!" said the girl, in a tono of
chocked surprise, "ls it here?"
A woman from below answered, rau
cously, affirming that it way the abode
of the Man.
The Giri looked up at tho attic door
in absolute dismay. She was pretty,
decidedly pretty, and young, and sty
lishly dressed. She lived over the
way in two charming rooms, where
pretty girls like herself and nice boys
were glad to take tea. She had heaps
of friends, and studied at thc college.
Why she, the daughter of an Ameri
can citizen, should aspire to medical
honors in Auid Reekie was by no
means clear. "Poppa," busy in Balti
more making dollars, pulled his ch'in
whisker, and "guessed there were di
ploma factories enough their side the
streak." Eut "Poppa* eventually had
to give way, as every one alike had to
where Maisie was concerned. So a
self-possessed damsel of 22 summers
and three brass bound trunks, marked
with the Stars and Stripes, arrived in
L-Walk.
And He-thc man who knew every
thing, and was a professor at the
college-lived here!
She hesitated a moment, doubtful of
the propriety of intrusion. He was a
great man, and a professor of inte
gral philosophy, which is a very ab
struse subject to take a degree, still
more so to teach.
The Man knew everything-except
how to compel buttons to remain on
shirts, and to keep mice from bis pro
visions, to tidy up his reoms, and thc
principles of household economy, gen
eral comfort and such like trifles,
which were net included in the curri
culum of any college he had ever
heard of, being even outside the limit
of iDtegral philosophy, and, as affairs
that chiefly concerned women, of no
matter.
Then she went boldly up to the door
andi knocked.

He raised his brows and nodded.
"Can I do anything?"
"I think not," he replied absently.

He looked round on thc litter In

low looked out on thc lank telegraph
poles as comrades, and commanded
a charming view of the chimneys over
the way. For furniture there was a
wardrobe, an old armchair, that did
duty also as a bed; a rush bottomed
chair, a cupboard, a few cooking uten
sils and some chemical apparatus
grouped round the hole in the wall,
called by courtesy a fireplace; and
lastly and chiefly, a large kitchen ta
ble and-the Man.
The table contained chiefly papers.
Its drawers held some scientific in
struments and a mous<ic*?ip. The
wardrobe held old clothes. Tho cup

Man and mien. And the Man con
tained knowledge.
"Tidy up? It is all very tidy, thank

"But you arc ill."
. "I shall soon "oe better." There was
silence. Tho Girl sat uncertain what
was best to say or do. Something
splashed'under t beatable.
She storied in alarm. "Oh, what

ejaculated).

The Head gasped with astonishment.
Morphyn had always been an extreme
recluse, but such lack of comfort and
dubious surroundings for a man of
means was, even to them-grave,
studious men of modest, even asce
tic, habit-inexplicable and unreason
able.
They listened to her story with sus
pended amazement. Thanked her
gravely, and bowed hor out.
As she reached the step, the Head
coughed. "Miss-Hopkinshaw-er-in
future-er-with a nurse-er-in at
tendance-er-there will be no need
to call-that is. a repetition of your
opportune visit will be inadvisable."
She flushed scarlet. "May I not see
my patient?"
"We shall be happy, Miss Hopkin
shaw, to give you particulars of his
progress, but for you to call there
will be scarcely-cr-"
Then the reason dawned on her.
"I see."
Hor features set fixedly and the words
fell coldly-"lt. would not be proper."
-"Er. He will have every atten

plained. Tho Girl turnedi on her neel.

venturing to knock at the neglected
door. Propriety would have left bim
to die. Propriety, as typified by that
fussy old dame who shuts her cyc3
to everything disagreeable that does
not prowl under her very nose."
She sat by her window while the
sun flecked with crimson clouds the
scanty yellow sky over the way.
She watched a cab draw up-a
sparse figure and a corded box de
posited. That was the nurse, she sup
posed. She picked up a book and
tried to read.

Night came darkly down. The
shops lit their lamps. Unmindful of
tho darknes's she sat in thc window
seat and brooded with hot checks over
the Head's edict. About 9 o'clock she
saw the nurse so cut. Then she did
a daring thing. Putting on her cloak
she stole warily up the rickety 'stair
case.
He lay apparently asleep. The win
dow was open. Thc nurse's tea things
lay about, but little seemed to have
been done for him since the morning.
The fire was nearly cut. Bending
down quietly, she breathed fresh lifo
into the dying embers, freshly piled
t?hc fuel, and, with a last look at the
fever puckered brow, fled down Hie
Stair, her heart aching strangely for
the desolate man, and in mortal dread
of discovery.

TRAGEDIES OF A ROADHOUSE;4
Old Kentucky Inn with Much Crime
in Its History.
On the turnpike leading to Louisville,
about 15 miles from Bardstown there
stood for years au old house that had
an interesting history. The house was
erected in 1791, many years before
thece was auy turnpike through this
part of the state, and was used as a
tavern and a stopping place for the
stage coaches when a change of horses
was made, lt had frequently for its
guests such men as Henry Clay, Rich
ard M. Johnson, John C. Brcckinridge,
Judge John Rowan, Gov. Charles A.
Wickliffe, and many others of note. In
the early '20s the inn passed into the
hands of Capt. James Camp, who con
tinued to run it as a tavern. While
living there Camp's wife was riding
horseback with several ot.hoi s and was
thrown from her horse and killed. This
was the beginning of many tragic hap
penings afterward connected with the
place.
A few years after this a traveler
named John Reynolds stopped over
night at the inn. As he failed to ap
pear thc next morning a servant was
sent in search of him. Being unable
to arouse him, he onto: cd thc room and
found Reynolds stiff and cold in death.
He had shot himself during the night.
A few years later the old tavern be
came famous for its lavish style of
entertainment, lt was frequently the
scene of great festivities.
During the progress of a ball one
night a tragedy occurred which
shocked thc whole country for miles
around. Two young men, Robert Har
ris and William North were suitors for
the hand of Capt. Camp's daughter.
Harris, on account of wealth, social
position and good looks, was the fav
ored suitor, which so enraged North
that he determined to seek revenge.
Hail ris, who was baldheadcd, wore
a wig. During thc evening in question
while thc guests were dancing North
approached Harris, who was dancing
with Miss Camp, snatched off his wig
and threw it upon the floor. Harris
uttered not a word, hut quickly turned
upon his heel, drew a Spanish dag
ger and plunged to to the hilt in the
heart of North, who fell lifeless to the
floor.
The tragic event brought the ball to
a sudden close. Harris had the sympa
thy of the entire community, and pub
lic sympathy was so in favor thatUip
