'awoke.

at tho thought the 'atmosphere took on
a sudden freshness as If It 'might have

tel. fvt prudential reasons bo regis
tered undor an assumod name1, and, for
oneo In this history no calamity Is to bo
recorded as tne, outcome of tbe decep
tion. In the morning a barber took
'off MjrJ Drane's moustache for fifteen
. cents, and a modest meal reduced ; bis
.capital to half dollar.' Then he bought
a newspaper and ''sat down. In a hotel
corridor to read and reflect, The nows
paper was uncommonly, interesting.'
Conspicuously ; displayed on . tho 'first
page was an account of tbe escapo of.
a dangerous lunatio from Jenkins' Re
treats ,;-.. - . ... . i r ,
Tbe lunatio, waa supposed to be the
wealthy , Mr. Lawrence Drane,' of
Kansas City. That unfortunate gontlo
man a friends bad oomo, on to take
care of blm and bad arrived at the
Retreat but an hour-after the escape.:
Tbey Immediately; resolved to offer
a reward of five - hundred 'dollars
for bis eeptare, and the proprietor
of the Retreat supplemented that
inducement by an- offer of fifty dollars
from bis own purse.. . Then followed a
minute description of tbo missing man.
Lawrence felt flattered, but till not
happy.' -i- ' '..'! i
Every man but the millionaires In
the city Is looking for mo," be thought,
and he glanced caatlously over bis pa
per at tbe other occupants of tbe room.
His blood chilled at once, for directly
oiposlte"saV a1 shrewd-looking fellow
taring hard at him. Tbe fellow bad a
copy of tbo same paper that. Mrs Drane
was reading, too, in his hand. Be was
evidently a detective. After a moment
of agony tbe detective rose and came to
wards Mr. Drane, still looking sharply
at him. '
"Now for a grand Muff," thought
Lawrence. He nerved himself for a
mighty effort, but the stranger passed
awkwardly and said: -.
"Excuse me, sir; I see that f was mis
taken. I thought you were so old friend
of mine." ; . - "'
And be walked away. ' Lawrence liked
to have choked with the excitement
and relief, and he felt that be would
rather be captured than undorgo such
snotber trial. Ho must get - away.
Even, his friends would discredit bis
story and eonsign.bim to an asylum.
Bat bow was ho to move? ' He read tbo
story again. It ended by saying that
the gentlemen from Kansas City bad
gone to Boston oa the midnight train
believing that Air. Drane bad Dad to
that city. ,
Again his thoughts reverted to Tleasle.
6he would help him, but be dared not
go to Mrs. Bowers' boase. So ho wrote
a sots to airs. Bowers Inquiring If ho
might not eall en tbo young lady whom
bo knew only by tbo aamo of Bessie,
and trust to her kindness to screen him
from capture daring tbe ealL It cost blm
