ed at St. Winifred's,
\UW l|Mr demanding an Inter|tl
^ Ml /) view with Elsie. Kendull
bud succeeded In
refusfug a similar deVK/V^
I* ' maod upon tbe prevb
ous evening and would have been glad
to do It again, for be dreaded Neale In
a sickroom as if be had been tbe angel
of septicaemia. but tbe doctor could
not honestly My that Elsie's condition
was such as to justify blui In shielding
ber from u 11 questioning. 1
As for tbe captaiu. be was "up i
against a new gatne." to use bis own
- expression. Never before liad be been
held back from tbe bedsides of tbe af?
llicted lu Institutions wholly or partlallv
under municipal control, and
doubtless upon this account there were
fortunate souls lu paradise who might
otherwise stlH luive been-struggling in
this probationary 6tate. When Ken- ,
" d&ll derailrred, Neale strong'y lntlmatj
fed ibajr\e ^uld "make trouble" for
tbe doctor, but it was bis own con--gclence
apd not bis fears wbkb decided
Kendall's action,
t , "Von oau. gee. b*r." be said,. *1f you
'rlltf^bave yoorself."
'I And Neale was speechless In tbepres.v
ence of this audacity. It was Dot that
- * Neale was a captain of police, for such
, an officer may or may not amount to a :
row of pins: It was that be was Joe
t. tfeale, tbe man with a "pull." Therein
lay tbe terror of bis wrath.
For as well as Elsie could be prepar,
ed for this Interview she shuddered
and turned pale when ber eyes flrat
rested- upon tbe peculiar, grimacing
countenance of tbe captain, more disfesslnir
than usual at that moment be
o?use be was trying to look beneficent
Neale bad a singular delusion that be
; could be and seem to be all things to
all people, although, in fact his voice;
his face and hla manner were more
rigidly Incapable of disguise than those
of spy other man between the two
oceans. He had a monkey's prido In imitation
without a trace of the monkey's
capacity for it. and upon tbla occasion
he "van engaged in counterfeiting the
demeanor of a family physician because
he knew that Kendall did not believe
he could do It And it was bla expressed
conviction afterward that be
. '* had made the doctor "fed foolish."
"Good morning," said be. "Glad to
^ see you looking bo fine. You'll be out
in a week, and by tbe first of the month
you'll be throwing kisses over tbe footlights
again."
dale's forebesd ^eddened with
wrath, ond she opened her mouth to |
say. something that would have shown j
more spirit tban discretion: but. catch- I
ing Brenda'a eye. she suddenly closed
her lips tightly.
Nenle turned ?o Brenda.
"It does my heart good." be sold, "to !
i see you here taking care of the sick?a |
society lady like you. I call K great. j
There'8 few that would do It. Now. 1
I'll bet the limit that you've l?een up
half-rthe night taking care of tbN '
poor little girl. Yon need rest. 1 can j
?ee that. And what I say Is that it
wouldn't do you a bit of hurt to go lay '
dov;ur while ?ue and the doctor looks I
out, for things here."
"Do you tuean that you wish me to '
, leave.- the room"'" Inoulred Brvuda,
with a glamv at Kendall.
The doctor's (ace was wearing that
Indescrilutlde expression Inchleut to the ;
first stage of seasickness. lie noddpd.
and Bretida walked toward the door, !
Which Kendal! opened for her. while .
N'eale bowed several times us she departed.
Then the captain drew up a
chair to the side of the l>ed. upon the
edge of winch he laid his enormous
and hairy, hand, clinched, with the
knuckles- upi>erui08t. Elsie looked at
It. fascia ft ed. wooderlng if It could
ready be a hand.
"We got to, have a little light oo this ;
woman." said the captain.
"What woman'/" Inquired Elsie
faintly.
"The one who called on you that aft
ernooti." he replied.
"Miss Miller bus already sold"? Kendall
began. but lb* captain 'lfted hi?
band from the tied, thereby causing
one side of It to rise siwhlenly. and
made a gesture of jHDtest.
"She'll do the answering." he snkL
"Who says that any woman called
on me?' demanded Elsie.
"Now. don't get excited," responded ,
the captalu. "It's well known that
somebody was there. Dr. Blair saw
her leariug the bouse."
Elsie remained silent for a moment.
Then she said:

"Only soma Ottte p+eoee?to look

"Did you see tbe pictures of tbe "mysterious

"No"
"Mies Mocfooo dWrt't show them to

"It wna not hrteutloQal," replied tbe
doctor, reddening. 1 merely happened

"1 guess ftftoB Mectobe helped you,"
euld Neale.
"What baa Mtes Maclaoe to do wtth
H?" asked Elaio.
"A good many people think sbe was
tbe woraan," replied tbe captain. "It's
beginning to bo Mid all over, but
there's ooe person who thinks so and
won't aay so?yet."
"Who's thotr said Etete.
"Dr. Blair," responded Keotev "You
know who be is 7"
"I've met him," she replied. "Mrs.
Blinmoaj got blm to come to see me
once when I was sick. I think be was
staying at tbe boose then. What baa
be to do with this affair?"
Tbe captain explained.
"It seems to me," said Elsie, "that
snybody who ever saw Miss Slaclane
would know her next time. If Dr.
Blair says that be doesn't recognise ,
ber, tbeo she lent tbe woman be saw."
"Do you deny that she called upon '

"I certain! j do deny K," replied Elsie,
?Hb decision.
"Perhaps ft was some other woman '
who booked Hke her," saggested Neaie. .
"I doot know any woman who looks
Hke her." ask) Stole. "1 never saw ooe 1
who did." |
The captain glanced at Kendall and (
said slowly:
"Sbedoeent know anybody who looks <
Hke Mice Maclane."
"Weil" said Kendall, "what ofttr
"Wtiy. neltber does anybody else la
the bonne," replied the captain. "80
Miss Maclane Is the only woman of
that kiod. no far as we know, who dould 1
have any motive for going there. AtxJ f
somebody t^eot.* (
Elsie was beginning to bo excited to ,
the danger point, and Kendall ent off
the Interview. KeaJe yielding wit boot a v
wonj of protest. . *
"Don't yon worry > not a bit," said be 1
to Etote. There ain't going to be no 1
trouble for anybody, except the guiKy t
party." t
Wbeo the captain bod gone, Elsie ,
graded with Kendall to let her see Dr. ^
"AH thee? tort? about Brcoda most "

*~Brxl if 1 tetl bits positively. face to

Kiyvlnfl wu* inclined to tivfee a favor- '
able view of this suggestion. His own 1
opinion, fortixsl from the newspaper
reporhj? was ttwt I)r. Blntr was a couariecttoos

He was nurprised at tbe meager
furnishing of bis professional brother's
small and dark waiting room. It was
oeat and not altogether destitute of
coin fort bat it was destitute of pa*
tieuts and bad not the look of a place
that bad ever been overran wttb
tbem. A servant's rap upon tbe door
communicating with the office brought
forth Blair, to wtxxn Kendall made
himself known.
Tbe office was a large and dreary
room, with ? view of back yards.
There was a broad concb in a comet
with a pile of cheap sofa pillow*
agolust which the doctor bad probably
been reclining. At the foot of the
couch and oddly propped against the
bock of a chair was a single silken
pillow beautlfnlly embroidered. From
a professional standpoint the room
tacked many things that mooey can
buy, and to Kendall, who was so far
removed from the need of fees that be
bad almost forgotten the possibility of
any doctor having to subsist upon
them, tbe place spoke loudly of poverty.
As for Rlalr himself, be matched
his surroundings, for bis mood was

"What can*l do for you. doctor?" be
