As sbe passed out of the reception room abe eucouutered Dr. Johnson, who was tn the art of entering. He took a seat upon a corner of the table and met with some evidences of embarrassment tbe look wblcb Kandall turned upon blm. "Were you listening tbere?" demand- td Kendall after half a minute's silence. "Well, I couldn't help bearing a word or two," tbe other admitted. "Vou see, I was looking for you, and I didn't want to Interrupt the conversation." "Tbls thing must stop, Mr. lilmcn dorf," sa Id Kendall. "I've been dragged Into It by the heels. I gnve you my word la tbe dark before I knew what you were going to do." "I didn't know myself what I was going to do," replied tlie detective. "1 came up bere with orders to be present wben Miss Maclane went Into Miss Miller's room." "I did not suppose that tbls deception would extend to Miss Machine when I made my promise," said Kendall. "I understood tbat she bad seen you; tbat abe knew wbo you were. And yon are not disguised." "I have shaved off my mustache," ■aid tbe detective, "and I look like the devil without lt But tbls wbole matter of disguise ls merely knowing what somebody else will notice. When you're going to be recognized, send another man. Miss Maclane bad too much on bar mind at tbe Thirty-eighth atreet bouse. Sbe couldn't bave told afterward whether I was white or black. And so, witb the mustache gone and theso goggles for my eyes, It was a aure thing." "Why was It necessary?" "I reported to headquarters that Miss Maclane was coming down bere," replied Elmendorf, "and the old man wanted to get a Une on it" "On what?" "Whether they'd seen each other before. The result was a little peculiar, as you'll admit Your patient recognized Miss Maclane at a glance, but Miss Maclane says sbe never saw Miss Miller before. What do you make of It? Of course Miss Maclane has told ao many different stories"— "It ls perfectly natural," said Kendall, checking Elmendorf by word and gestuns. "Miss Maclane Is prominent ln society. Her picture has been printed In tha newspapers a hundred times. With a natural motive for Intereat In her, Miss Miller has undoubtedly familiarised herself with Miss Maclano's appearance. Sbe may even have aeen her entering a church on the occasion of a society wedding- or In some similar way." "Thaf8 the easy answer," replied Elmendorf, "and I guess it's right. One thing Is certain—If Miss Maclane struck that blow, Miss Miller didn't see her, and tbe poor girl's story Is true." "If Mlas Maclane struck tbe blow!" repeated Kendall, dazed. "What earthly reason have you"— "Now, aee here," said Elmendorf, "let's view this matter calmly. Nobody can be hurt by a straight, honest view of the facts, except tbe one that onght to be hurt, the cowardly, black hearted murderer wbo did this tblng. Talk about calmness! Walt a minute." He walked back and forth two or three times between tbe table and the corner of the room, Anally facing Kendall squarely and continuing: "I don't usually care a— Excuse ms. I don't usually swear, either, and 1 won't do It now. I was going to say that these tblngs don't effect me, as a rule; they're all In the way of business. Bnt somehow this takes hold of me. How could anybody barm that little (glrir And be took smother turn across tbe room. "Miss Miller exerts a strange Influence," Bald Kendall. "I suppose we're at least as bard hearted as the police, but I caught Dr. Carrlngton, the ambulance surgeon wbo went out on this caae, walking np and down In bis room and telling another of our young doctors what be wonld like to do to the man who waa responsible for this. Tbe room smelled of brimstone from the language tbat he used. And between ourselves, Mr. Elmendorf, tbe thing filled me wltb horror such as I haven't felt ln a good many years. It Is the personality of the girl undoubtedly. There/a nothing unusual about tbe caae" "Well, I would hardly say tbat" returned Elmendorf. "There are a few tblngs that I wouldn't call exactly ordinary—Mlas Maclane's conduct for Instance"' "She explained tbat perfectly to me," replied Kendall "Yea," aaid Elmendorf. "I happened to bear tbe explanation. And now let me tell you something. It is a moral certainty that Miss Maclane weut to tbat bouse before she says she did; tbat she was tbere very close to the moment of tbe crime, not to put It uuy stronger." "What do yon mean?" demanded Kendall. "You have beard of tbe mysterious woman In the en si*?" "Yes. She was seen by Dr. Blnlr leaving the house. But there's always something of that sort in every affair of the kind. It will be explained." "I wish Miss Maclane would explain It" said Elmendorf, "for she was the woman. Dr. Blair knows It beyond a shadow of doubt** "If he knows It." returned Kendall, "wby hasn't be said so'/" "Would you? Put yourself In his place. Would you throw that rope around a woman's neck before getting a little more light on tbe matter? As a man of the world and a doctor who's learned ln his business the value of keeping his mouth shut, would you do it? No. And Dr, Blair feels Just the same way. lie wasn't born yesterday. Wben the tiuio comes, he ean give his evidence." Kendall laid his band upon his balr, perhaps to satisfy himself thnt it was not beginning to stand on end. "Do you believe that he will testify against her?" ho demanded. "Elmen- | dorf, this Is deadly serious." I "Well, I should think It wns," said the detective, "and the longer she keeps j quiet about It the more serious It gets." It was Kendall's turn to walk the floor, and he did it. "There are a thousand chances to one." continued Elmendorf, "that If the story she tells you is true she can't prove It. Suppose she was In a store. Who's going to remember her or tlie time of day? Take her motive, take her admissions to you if they were made In court, combine them with Blair's evidence, and wlint do you suppose tbe result would be?" "You cannot have seen her with Miss Miller." said Kendall, "and still suspect her of this crime." Elniendorf hesitated, as If Ite conld hardly bring himself to destroy the last refuge. "Thero's one way to look at that," he said at lsst. "Miss Maclane goes to tbat house wild with rage after her ecene with Alden. She has the 'fixed Idea' that's more In crime than even you doctors think lt Is. She gets In without seeing anybody because of the defective catch of the lock. She walks Into tbat room. Miss Miller Is on the balcony. Right on the table, where tbe devil must hnve put it, ls that knife, open perhaps, for the envelope that held that note was cut. Miss Maclane takes that knife, and on the Instant Miss Miller comes In through the window, the other girl shrinking back toward the closet. She Is behind Miss Miller. She doesn't seo her. You know bow It would be with the girl entering from the balcony, tlie bright light behind her. My friend, It's till over In a second, and Bremln Maclane doesn't know what she's done until she comes to tills hospital and sees In that bed a creature as different from the woman she supposed she hnd struck down as God could make." Kendall's forehead wns dripping wet. "But the money?" ho gasped. "Wbo knows any thing nbout tbe money?" demanded Elmeudorf. "It mny bave lain out of sight until Neale and bis men got there, and one of tlii'in may have lifted it. This is not for publication. Dr. Kendall. It's between ourselves." "It's a nightmare." snld Kendall. "I don't believe a word of It." j "If you don't like the way I've put It, let me give you another view," replied tbe detective. "Miss Maclane goes to the house — heaven knows why, per- | baps from curiosity. She goes up the j steps and sees through tbe glass panel : of the outer door Alden In tbe bnll. !

And yet was it not Mu hihar? He swept them With his glance. "I shall win," he said confidently, "because I will have u so." Ankomt bad been watching bim with baleful eyes.

The ancient Bgypttana hud two moon goils-Khons or Khonsu and Tel or Thoth. The latter wore the moon on hia head, either as a full moon or us a crescent The dlvlue honors paid to the cat on the banks of the Nile were probably due to Its supposed connection with the moon, as shown, by the changeable pupil of the feline eyes. In Greece both Pho-bus nnd Phoebe were moon gods, and by lsls tbe Greeks understood the same planet. The Kouians hud many gods. With them Luna was the moon, the daughter of Hyperion and sister of the sun. According to Llvy, tho temple of Luiia stood on the Avcrtlne. Tbe ancient Goths, Germans and Finns were ull moon worshipers, aud in undent Ilriluln the moon occupied a high position In tbe celestial hierarchy of the Druids, who were always represented as bearing crescents ln their hands. It Is possible, too, that Aiulraste, the goddess to whom Boudi- cea appealed with outstretched hands, wus the moon. JokluB I'rieusle In Old Days.

CUOI'I'INl'S. It is not unlikely the Liberal government at Ottawa will appeal to the country this fall. There are two reasons advanced for the proposition first, the influence of Lnurier's leadership before he retires owing to ill health; second, the flossy budget pre s-nited by Fihanee Bffnfoter Fielding. The new redistribution bill will be put into effect, so giving the Kootenays an opportunity to get a member of their own. lt will then be "Goodbye, Bill Galliher," for Kootenay will not forget Fielding's treatment of the lead industry. By this time W. A. Galliher and Hon. Mr. Fielding must have come to the conclusion that an ominous storm i.s raging in the west by reason of the government's refusal to provide pro? ts**ction for the silver-lead industry. Resolutions iiud protests by the whole- Kale havo been wired to Ottawa on the subject, aud the conviction must bave carried that a great injustice has been done the country. Iron miners in the enst have beeu bonused, protected and encouraged in a liberal manner, and the element of consistency is surely missing when similar treatment is denied the lead miners in the west. Jn 1878 Canada realized the beneficial effects of a protective tariff for her industries, aud every government since bas followed out the same general scheme launched by Sir John A. Mac- donald, both Tcay and Grit. Free trade for Canada is a miserable bunt- bug and it should not ix; permitted to be advanced in order to bring disaster to a large section of the Dominion. The politician whfl presumes to ride the free trade nag cuts a sorry spectacle. Canadians have been raised in protection and they want to see it continued, more particularly in British Columbia. Relief to the lead industry is not a party question. It is a common issue of the people and part of the national development. In refusing proper help the Liberal government have, to say the least, been foolhardy. DRILL POINTS. I'assenger traffic is on lhe increase Ihrough the cam]'.
