CHAPTER XI.--(Cont'd.) Luke gazed at his father, uncertain for a minute whether the old man was wholly serious. His father was mever more offensive to him than when he chuckled in satisfaction at his-own smartness. The next day, when Lucas com- pleted his business with his lawyer, Jaccard, he himself made an appoint- ment with a private detective who proved so competent that when Ethel left the house on Scott street that afternoon she had no idea whatever "that she was followed. "Started work 2.15 p.m. opposite-- Beott street. Miss Ethel Carew, left by front door 2,58." So read that portion of the confidential report which was supplied to Lucas early that evening, "Followed her to -- N. State street where she rang, was admitted at 8.20 and remained until seven minutes to four. Inquiry established that number =--i8-establishment-of -a- Mrs. HJ.

Ethel, upon the floor above, had been ready for many minptes. She had seen Barney approaching the house; but she had waited for the ser- vant to tell her that Mr, Loutrelle had come and then, amazingly, a tremor had attacked her when she reached the Lead of the stairs. The sight of his strong, vigorous figure striding toward her Lad stirred a flutter in her breast which no am- ount of argument with 'self could quiet. "Miss Carew!" he spoke her name when she appeared . "I'm so glad you're here!" she said. "Oh I'm so glad, A great deal has happened. - I found out a good deal more about James Quinlan. "I told the landlady where he lived that T was a Cullen and of course oncerned about him." "Something had happened inside James Quinlan after Robert was shot down in flames which probably made N jupessible for my uncle, who had taken grandfather's place here, to keep on controlling Quinlan in the old way," she said, "Whatever it was, it made Quinlan want to go to Resur- rection Rock; I don't know whether he went there to find you, I can't quite see how that could be, but he certainly went there, and grandfathes was afraid of his seeing you. That's quite clear. Grandfather was afraid, too, I think, of Quinlan coming t» him. But Quinlan doesn't seem to have gone to St. Florentin at all; he went to Resurrection Rock; and Kincheloe found him there and killed him so that he could never speak to you." "Your: ring," Ethel recalled to her- self suddenly. "And the device carved on the mantel in that room." She did not need to mention what room; he was thinking of it, tev "They were identical, Miss Carew," he said with a sudden emphasis which betrayed to her something of what he had pent up within, For a moment more Ethel stood dulled with feeling for him--for this boy from the Indian shack in the Charlevoix woods finding, at last, something which traced to his ring and to himself. Then her thought went to the photograph upstairs, She went over with him in detail everything she had done since leaving him, including her call of that after- noon at Mrs. Davol's where, she re- ported, she had made an appointment for a sitting that evening. She heard a servant opening the front door and realized that this was the hour at which Bennet dropped in to scold and argue with her, "Hello!" he called before him, com- ing into the drawing-room; then, see- ing Barney, he squared about chal- lengingly. "Mr, Loutrelle, this is my cousin Bennet Cullen." "Leoutrelle," Bennet repeated, facing about to Barney again, "So you are Loutrelle!" 1 $3 1 141. The was #0 g that Ethel rejoiced that Barney offer- ed no reply. "What do you want here?" Bennet was demanding. "Miss Carew knows why I am here," Barney replied quietly. "Pll ask you to tell me!" Bennet attempted to command. "That's no use," Barney said, shak- ing his head slightly. t was no use, and Bennet was alert-minded enough to recognize it. Finally he became calm and the new developments were thoroughly explained. He examined the envelope and postmark of Ethel's letter from Huston Adley; he again prom: then determined to accompany his Mrs, Davol that night. -------- © OHAPTER XIII the entire affair a lunatic's hoax and cousin and Barney to the sitting with o Mrs. Davol continued. "I see--I see a woman, very beautiful. She.is no Ionger young; she is middle-aged; she and people swimming; she is In the water; she is drowning; she is trying to swim. I see a great ship sinking. 1 think it is a steamer; 'it is going down. Yes; it is a steamer. I see many people in the water; but now I do not see her." The voice of the medium halted, and gaps of unimportant words when the medium spok« too fast for his pencil to follow. "I still see water," continued Mrs. Davol, "but not the same water; this is smooth and blue and very clear. Ice floats in it. I see tices on the shore and a girl in a cloak walking under the trees. She bears a burden beneath her coat. Now I see her more clearly--the burden she bears is a child--unborn--she stumbles and is afraid--she looks upon the water and seems to think to cast herself in--but now someone appears in a boat--pad- dling--it is a canoe--" Again the voice of the medium halt- ed; and now, though the description recalled nothing to Ethel's mind, yet the manner of this recital of vision lessened Ethel's feeling of fraud. Mrs. Davol suddenly thrust herself back in her chair and her voice mar- velously altered. "There is some one here with much difficulty," this new voice said. "Quite old. He wants very hard to speak. He is with two others, both much younger. Eva has seen one of them before; Eva feels one of them was waiting for him, the old man not well "I see a great ship sinking. It is going down." built up. He had a long, troubled life--he wants to say--but cannot--" The voice trailed off into murmurs, unintelligible and then inaudible. "I suppose," said Bennet, leaning again to Ethel's ear, "this is the trance; she's under her 'control.' Lit- tle Eva spoke that piece." "Can you describe the man better now?" Barney inquired of the medium, writing his own question as he had recorded the others. "He shows me a capital Q," the voice of "Eva" continued strongly and distinctly, "Now a J with it; the J is before the Q; J Q." ' "Q?" Bennet challenged. The voice did mot reply directly. "Eva feels like a blow in the breast; there is gushing from it. He does not know he is giving this. He has not done it on purpose; they have tried to make him forget that; but Eva gets it from him. 'I am happy,' he says. 'It is true, I am happy." He can say that; but that is all now. He holds up in his hand a torch. Asso- ciated with the torch is the word Galilee, The younger man leads him away." The voice again ceased. Ethel gazed at Barney who had made no comment; Bennet waited sil- ently; and Ethel knew that to both of them the reference to James Quinlan was as clear as to herself. "Does that 'Galilee' and torch mean anything to you?" Bennet de manded of her. = ; Sho shook her head to Tell him that it did not as the medium began: to Fs ¥; EAP "I think sure we'll get something"; --now I see water; I see a lot of water | Barney filled in, from memory, the|: stopped writing and turned to her-but{ THE SMART BOLERO A becoming new fashion for the little miss of 8, 1), 12 and 14 years, is the new bolero frock with circular skirt.

Then he added: "But people hate new things." Emphasizing the importance of pre- ~ | ventive medicine, Sir Arbuthnot read aloud an extract from an article of his: in "The Golden Health Library" a health encyel dia in ine form which the great surgeon has just founded. "The underlying conception of this work," he said, "is that good health can be attained and preserved by as- certained principles of living. It ls not a close secret of the medicial pro- fession, nor is it to be found in speci- fics and prescriptions. Modern civiliz- ation is obsessed by the disease ecom- plex, and medicine, which 1s domin- ated at least as much as other pro- fessions by the state of public opinion, is still unable to think itself away from that false and injurious attitude towards its function. The physician as 'bealer' still carries the strongest popular appeal. = Yet it cannot le denied that it is the phyaicien as 'pre- venter of ills' who will be the Woctor of the future," : Like Any Other Machine Asked how long he believed mn should be able to .ive if he took pro- per care of himself, Sir Arbuthnot re- plied: "The duration of a mans life is com parable to the length of life of an automobile. It depends largely upon the use which is made of it and the cara that is bestowed upon it.. "I you buy a car and hire a good chauffeur to run it, how long will it last? It will last as long as do the materials of which it is made, because your chauffeur will take good care of it, give it plenty of oll, keep it proper- ly greased and in thoroughly good order. "Now then, the human body is somewhat similar to the motor of an automobile, This being the case, why not hire a good chauffeur for it? Why wait until it has broken down to call in the doctor? The wiser thing to do is to prevent it from coming to grief. Take care of it properly, Let the doc. tor inspect it, say, once a month. Watch your diet. Your diet is the ofl and grease which the human motor requires to keep it in running order. 4 "Bad feeding is a notorious cause of cancer, I am one of those who be- lieve that cancer is entirely due to bad feeding.
