the talk is ail being Cone by I'hellin.
1 hat loai lied and ei rat ic man was dis

was tolling, ho had duel dated in a

riance Willi nil established things that,
they wouldn't even spell the name of

he was talking to the befu 'illcd Mieliv,
he had forwarded as a theory which, ev n
In his coini'iitiioiis, seemed singular in
deed. It had I. opt llieiu so Interested
that they had iieglccte.l the convivial
lunotion of tin1 cluii. Th.ir beer
glasses had been empty for a quarter of
an hour before he finished, hut upon his
conclusion the lungs wi o quickly Ul'ed,
and the owrtopping foam ran down
their still s to the tat to.
" Hero 1 1 to the ho; e, " said one, "that
Mr. O'llourke's theory in iv never be
tested on ' liourke's h-if." That was
diaiik with tl d-y lailgbtor, so K'llonrke

in pressed bis feibivv-niembeiB im-inen-ely,
"Yo ivo I rains enough and to spare,

to enough of the concluding tiarratito
to uiidei;iini that 1 1'llourke was full
of s hie now, strange and impi uctii-iiblo

low, but his maun, r betrayed bad hab
its and n reckless disp, .Hit nut. The three
men i unversed a lew minute about the
impending eviction. 'J lien they were
startled by tin outcry. It was the feeble
yet shrill vol. e of Oor.uh liegg, and
they hurried into her enl'iti to tin. I o .t
what was the matter with her. She lay
with her oji s closed, and exhaustb-li
i xpressed in tier t lull, wall face. Dolf
liegg, her hulking so n, sat ir. a chair
tipped back ugiinst the wad. with his

over the other, and his scowling brows
m lortorcd over his eyes that only half
their evil light was Isihlo.
"What is it?' lather llanley ask. d.
t.'i'.ing a s.-iit on the edge of the b.d,
and holding one of the invalid's hands.
"Has the boy 1 ii doing anything to

"That's right!" Didf exclaimed. "Ask

tell joii the truth, tin I I w.mi."
"Did he strike you?" the prio-t asko 1,
seeing a red mark mi the woman's wrist,
as though she had warded oiT a blow.
"He didn't strike me," thu respond d.

I he priest patted thu woman's hand,
and said so-.tnlngly. "Never mind It

Dolf said nothing, hut sullenly un
folded his arms, tun rosso I his logi,
picked up his lint nnd slouched out of

to the street, and bent his, steps to.vard
the groggery, where his gang coiicre

Micky Hegg was sober by litis time,
and his custoinmy all'ectlon for his wife
manifested itself in the exclamation:
"I'll thrash the l- vil out of him that's
what I'll do."
"Don't do that, " ttonah said. "I.avo
