Ardeyne compressed his Ups. He had known. what was coming, Hugo Smarle had killed Tony Egan, his friend and business partner, and Tony Egan had also been a friend of the doctor. "Smarle has recovered his sanity,' ,Ardeyne said.nothing "There was to do but let him out," ('Recovered!" , sneered Mrs. Egan. "And you call ourself a brain .e- ' : spe- cialist." • ' Unfortunately, Philip Ardeyne pri- vately agreed with the sentiments her tone more than the actual words ex- pressed. He had argued against the release of Hugo Smarle- but the board was up against the stubborn fact that whatever :might happen in the future, at the moment --and :.for., some time past—the roan who killed Tony Egan was sane. And, as the doctor said, there was nothingto do but let him �7ut. "Row can it possibly affect you?" Ardeyne asked, "Poor Tony was kill- ed in auarrel • b a lunatic who: has been confined at Broadmoor for fifteen years. The man len 'toin g g to bother you, and surely ,you aren't hankering after further xevenge? I had .a talk with one of his relatives, a sensible sort of fellow, and he assured me that Smarl'e would be well looked after. He has a family—a wife and a daughter, I believe -and they are going to take him to souse quiet place abroad.". Mrs. Egan shrugged:her shapely brown shoulders. "There's' a side':of it of which you know nothing," she said. "I would have given' half of what I possess to keep Hugo :Smarle where he was for the' rest of his life. Sane, you say! Does that mean he can contract bind. - nese'?" "Certainly it does." Ardeyne was puzzled. "Well, I say he's not sane.You watch and see. He'll be making hor- rible 'accusations before long. It was money over which Tony and he quar- relled. You'll see. He'll rake that all up again, and try to, rob me. Perhaps he'll murder rue. Then I hope you'Il be satisfied. Lettinga maniac loose en the world! Really, Phil, you doc- tors" take a lot on `yourselves—a fear- ful:responsibility, I call it. Hugo Smarle's been waiting for this oppor- tunity. , That's why'he's pretended to be cured " Ardeyne. laughed. "Every madman pretends to be �auiired, as you put it, or, rather, he imagines himself,never to have been anything but sane. But you can't quarrel with me, about this fellow, Smarle. There was nothing whatever to do but free him.'1 may tell you that he'd have been discharged a year ago. if I hadn't held out against it." "There'll be a law suit. You'll see,"" !.trii. Egan passionately continued her own ;irain of_thought. "It will drag along for years, no doubt, and in the end, whether I win or lose, I'!i find Myself impoverished by costs. Oh, you doctors and lawyers! A clever T gang you: areaalways working to- gether to the advantage of your own pockets. The uncle who'died and left m you such a nice little fortune was.a lawyer, wasn't he?" r "He was," Philip replied, `"but he i i didn't make his money by it.

"My brother," said Mrs. Carnay. Alice looked surprised. She had never heard of her mother's brother, never knew there had been such a person; but she .was well used to reti- cence, even in family affairs. So she merely remarked, "How interesting!" y " And," Mrs. Carnay Contin- cul ,: ued, "I' thought I'd ask him to break of his journey ; and stop over. , with us at for a week or so. , It's a good many own years since I've seen your—your as ; U`ncle John.." • me.

What is the cause' of dreame•? Why does the brain, which is under control in what seems a wild and irrational way? The answer is simple: If the blood while we wake, work while we sleep did •not continuo to circulate while 'we slept,'. we should never dream those fantastic dreams which puzzle us' se • much. • It It 'because .our blood still circulates • through the brain that thoughts; 'vague and unconnected mostly, must continue to be thrown o and cause what we call dreams. Ourpower of thinking;: while we wake, is governed by reflection, and is sound or unsound according to our mental, capacity. • When asleep, how ever,' this nb Imager holds, though if* said that persona who, In.' their walk lag hours, habitually• keep their; hinds and.'fancies under e(tri-ct control, hatie far more, rational (treats then 0:teat) whose mental.selacontrol Is weak.
