A: ii F Ths Pang of Disillusion. Th sick room was dark. So dark that for a Utile, until our eyes accus tomed themselves to it, we could bare ly distinguish objects. But our .ears required no attuning. Even in the pas sageway, separated by a heavy mahog any door, We had hint of what was go ing on within; and as w entered, a hoarse tirade smote us in the gloom, like an assault from ambush. To us both the tone and words were alike unfamiliar. In inflection arid modulation the voice was strange. And the uttered sounds were a coarse, hor rid jargon. Once I thought 1 detected an English oath, but I was not sure. Evelyn clutched my hand and I could feel against me the tremble of her slim young body. Gladly I would have spared her this ordeal, but I had been no less unprepared than she. And now, as gradually shapes deflned them selves less dimly in the gloom, the hor ror grew; and, held by it, speechless, Inert, I stood where I had paused the quivering girl very close beside me staring, listening, wondering. It was a large rtoom, lofty of ceiling with high windows, across which heavy curtains were drawn; and the only light was that which stole be tween, these hangings or filtered through three dark, richly-colored, glass medallions set in a side wall Cameron's bed,. a massive, ornately carved four-poster, was hung with fringed and embroidered velvet, and in the dusk of the chamber it took on the somber likeness of a catafalque, add ing to the eerie seeming a touch of the funereal. Incongruously from the shadowy midst of it came that ranted rigmarole of strange words, now high pitched, now bass, now guttural. what had at first seemed a moving gray patch had developed by degrees into the white, night-robed, sitting fig ure of the invalid, swaying excitedly, with arms extended in ceaseless ges tures. For a long moment this un canny object had held my gaze, but presently near the bed's foot, I des cried Bryan's white uniform and the sight brought a measure of relief. In response to a beckoning head-tilt, the nurse joined us. "I thought you had better come," he whispered, quite calmly. "I thought possibly you might understand what he is saying." 'But I don't," I whispered back. "II it's a real language I never heard it What do you imagine it is?" 'I have an idea it's Chinese," he an swered. "It sounds like the Btuff you hear at a Chinese theater, and caught two or three words of pidgin English, just before you " He broke off suddenly, and plucked at my sleeve. mere!" ne murmured. Did you hear that? Maskee. That was plain enough. It meanB 'never mind.' A lit tie while ago he was evidently trying to hurry some one. It was chop-chop about every other sentence." Evelyn's eyes shone luminous in the gloom. "Can't you give hira something to quiet him?" she begged. "It's awful to let him go on like this. It's cruel. He seems to be in such, distress." "I can, of course," Bryan returned But I thought Mr. Clyde was anxious to hav everything he said reported and Oh, do give him something," she insisted. Bryan left us to obey. I saw him stop at a table near the bed, and in the half light I caught the glint of hypodermic syringe. But, as if scent ing his purpose, Cameron's voice lulled abruptly. For a second or two he was quiet, and then, before any one of us, I think, suspected his purpose, be turned, suddenly, swiftly, and slipped from beneath the bed clothes to the floor where he stood erect, with arms upraised and tenBed, shouting In shrill strident key what seemed to be orders, directed not at one but at a horde. The great bed separated him from both Bryan and myself, but we skirted it in haste, and came upon him be fore be had taken more than a single step. As we confronted him, his arms lowered and his clenched fists shot forward threateningly. But a far more startling happening at this junc ture -was his abandonment of his jar gon, and his adoption of lntelligibl English. , , "Below!" he yelled, fiercely. "Be low, you yellow dogsi Below, I say Every cur's son of you! Below! Despite this truculence be was not dlfllcult to master. Together Bryan and J grappled him; in another mo ment we bad bim JLit on ii tei ence horn, the piston of that Htle shining instrument of g1a and s.lver which 1 nad so recently seen him take up from the medicine fable. . , For a moment the patient rotted about, restlessly, muttering strange oatiis, mulled with suppliant mur murs. And to me this was the most sadly trying part of the incident. ! would gladly have retreated, but Eve lyn begged me to wait. "Just until he is quiet," she pleaded; "just until be falls asleep." At length he lay quite still and we thought from his regular breathing he had succumbed to the narcotic, and so were about to go, when he started up with a little feeble cry, low-voioed, but clearly distinct. "No, no, for God's sake, not that! I didn't kill them. I swear I didn't kill them. It was an accident. She stove on a rock. I I didn't, I say! I didn't I" -v. His voice trailed into silence. He dropped back, heavily, upon the pil lows. He slept. It is one thing to have your faith in a friend shaken. That is serious enough in all conscience. But your faith may tremble, and sway and rock, and still there is always the possibil ity of its being resteadled and made firm again by explanatibn by extenu ation even. It is quite another thing to have your faith toppled headlong, by the snatching away of the last vest ige of support, the last sliver of under pinning. That is more than serious. It is calamitous; it is catastrophic; it Is tragic. Back in the library again, I set to pacing the floor. I think Evelyn re sumed her seat in the big leathern chair. I am sure. For a time I was not conscious that she was in the room. That it was inconsiderate of me, I admit. It was, perhaps, unpar donable. And yet it was not wilful Frankly, I had forgotten her, absolute ly, in the stress of the emotional tem pest raised by that revelation in the darkened bedchamber. Back and forth, I strode from book case to bookcase, over the soft, neu tral-tinted Persian rugs; and all the while there echoed those repeated de nials of Cameron's that he had ever been in China. "Never nearer than Yokohama," he had said. "Once I ate chop suey in a Chicago Chinese restau rant." "I have always been interested IMPORTANT TO MOTHERS A record of sixty-five years contlnu oils use of "Mrs. w'lnslow'a Boothln Syrup" by mothem in all parts of th world, la the hlgheM praise that an rrnnedy for "children teething" has ever received.

China and the Chinese, but I fcnow only what I have read." And the words of his quondam friend came back to me now, too, with redoubled emphasis: "He refused to admit what knew to be the truth." Nevertheless I bad chosen to believe that Cameron, should he ever return to us, would be able to clarify this turbid stream of circumstance, and prove the fallibility of appearances, The illusion to which I had clung, however, was now in shreds. Cam eron, returning, with body enfeebled and brain confused, had spoken In his unguarded delirium. The mask was dropped, the screen thrown down, and barefaced and stark ho stood revealed. a woeful figure in the impartial glare of truth. At the moment I could see no exten nation. He was a liar and he was coward; and all the sympathy, all the friendship I ever felt for him died ut terly, as I thought how, probably, every untoward incidet. of the past month, with its chain of vexatious consequences, might have been avoid ed had he been brave to the point of confession. It was now plain enough for the least astute to see that at some time he had committed an act which bad aroused" certain of the Chinese to re taliation. It was this which I had feared from the first It was this which he had chosen to hid. , As I paced to and fro, Mb craven words rang once more la my ears No, no, for God's sake, not that! didn't kill them! I swear I didn't kill them! It wag an accident!" And knew that he was lying. The very tone of his disclaimer convinced me of his guilt. He had killed, and he cowered before tbe avengers. Disgust, abhorrence, anger, all were mine in turn. At length I paused before a window, and remained there, with my back to the room, looking down on the with ered garden behind the house, yet see ing nothing but the red of my own pas sion. A touch upon my shoulder aroused me to a realization of my surround ings, and informed me that I was not alone. Startled as one awakened ab ruptly from a dream, I turned, and turning, there came a revulsion. Every surcharging emotion that had held and bound me gave way Instant ly to a Tiolent self-reproach, excited by tbe pathos of Evelyn's sad, ques tioning eyes and sadder, quivering mouth. My impulse -was to take ber la my arms, and pacifying, to plead pardon for what must have seemed to her an Inexcusable churlishness. But the con ditions which so recently she had set upon me forbidding the coveted em brace, I compromised on a han-clasp. "My dear child," I began, earnestly, "I'm sorry. But then you must know bow what we Just saw and beard dis tressed me. I think I have been mad since we left that room. I hardly know what I have been doing. To see bim so unstrung, demented, raving. To hear him " But she would not allow m to fin ish. "Philip!" she cried, passionately. "Oh, Philip! Can't you see? Don't you understand? It is a mistake, an wful nightmare of a mistake. That creature over there is not my uncle. I im convinced that he is not my Uncle Robert." CHAPTER XX. An Enigma and It Solution. To my amazement I found that Eve lyn meant more than i fancied. My Interpretation of her words was (but Curneron as not In his rlEht mind tl,ut he was rot ber fncla riobrt, as she had known him. But In a very brief moment she disabused me. "It is not be, at all," she declared, with emphasis. J'There is a resemb lance, yes. But the man you fonnd in the street is not Robert Cameron; I am sure of that.'" The idea that I had brought there, not my friend, but ray friend's double, seemed to me too preposterous for a moment's entertainment I fear I sus pected, just then, that Evelyn's reason had been warped a trifle by the rack ing scene of which. we had been wit nesses. H - "I would to Goo", my dear child," I said, sympathetically, "that you were right; But there can be no question as to the identity of the sick man. Every one who has seen him recog nized him at once-Checkabeedy, Lou is, Stephen, Dr. Massey. No, no, Evelyn, you must not be 'misled by his rav ings." And at this point there oc curred to me a tentative explanation- one in which I did not in the least be lieve, but which, at all events, was worth trying; one which, indeed, I prayed would serve.'" "Cameron, you must remember, has been with his Chinese captors for four weeks. In that time be must have picked up something of their language. It is only natural that he should. So, yoa see, to hear him Use a few words of pidgin-English in his Insane gibber ish is not so remarkable, after all. And as for that spirited denial just before he dropped off to sleep, it is very evi dent that they accused him of some thing -with which be had no connec tion, though quite cognizant of the facts." But the girl would have none of it Tolerantly she listened, and tolerantly she smiled when I bad finished. "No, no, Philip," she insisted, "I see Clergyman Praises v ; Eckman's Alterative Valuable ltcincily for I.ungH. Tlirnat and i iii'-.ct Wniii inl.

Others mistook the resemblance for identity, Just as you did, only the situation was reversed. Those who abducted Uncle Robert thought they, were abducting that villain we are now housing." It was an ingenious notion, bat of course it was not possible. However, I saw that it would be Idle to continue to dispute with her. "What would yon suggest, then? Shall we send our invalid to a hos pital?" I asked. In pretended serious ness.. ' .'. ,, But very sagely she shook her head. "Oh, no," she returned. "We must keep him. He is very, valuable to us, Perhaps we can do as contending armies do arrange an exchange of prisoners." In spite of my wretchedness, I sup pressed a smile. It was all very amus ing; and yet the fear that she was suf fering aberration due to hysteria, tem pered pitifully the humor of it When, later In the afternoon. Dr. Massey called, I told him everything, including this hallucination, of Eve lyn's. "You did perfectly right," he said, In tone of cordial approval. "The malady with which Cameron is afflicted has tendency to distort certain lineaments. Especially at times of excitement his face changes, so that Miss Grayson is justified In fancying that this Is not the Robert Cameron she knew. have noticed the dissimilarity myself. but it is due, of course, entirely to dis torted expression. In a couple of days, at most, he will be fully restored, and then he himself will be the best one to rectify ber error. Meanwhile, if I were you, I would not dispute ber. ' She has gone through a gmat deal, and gone through It bravely; Indeed with a cour age that Is quite phenomenal, and she is entitled to any little consolatory be liefs that she chooses to entertain." And then, as if such advice were not wholly superfluous, be added: "Be kind to her, Clydel be good to ber. She Is a wonderful young woman." Whereat I grasped his band, and promised him, lifting him a notch in my estimation because of his perspi cacity. And all the while a lump kept rising in my throat and threatening my tear ducts. On the following day I beard noth ing from Miss Clement, which some what surprised me, though she bad told me that ber prospective inform ants were likely to take their own time. Early, on the second morning, however, I had a note from her, tbe enigmatic character ot which. impelled me to speculation. "Dear Mr. Clyde," she wrote, "I hope you can make it convenient to visit me this evening, st the Mission. I want to talk with Ling Fo, sa exceptionally well-educated young Chinaman, who tii me that his people are much. mys tified over a recent event; and, if what be says be true-and I never knew hint to lie new complexion is placed npon this whole matter. Come sbout nine-thirty, after our service is over." ; As Dr. Maasey's orders forbidding any one save Mr. Bryan to enter Cam eron's room, issued immediately after our hideous experience, had not yet been rescinded, our know4ede of his condition was, perforce, gleaned nUre ly through physician sad nurse.
