looking keenly at;Brian.
"Wants to see me about busi-

"Connected with the male of your
station, I suppose," said Frettlby,
still keeping his eyes on the young
man's face. "Can't have a better
man. Calton's an excellent man
of business."
"A little too excellent," replied
Fitzgerald. ruefully, "Ire's a man

Brian shook hands insllence and,
watched him pink up his' hat. and
move on to the verandah, and 'then
out into the - hot sunshine:
"He knows," he muttered invo-
luntarily,
"Knows what, sir?" maid Madge,
who came silently behind him, and
slipped her arm through his. "That

"I don't feel hungry," said Brian,
as they walked towards the door.
"Nonsense," answered Madge,
merrily; who, like Eve, was on hos-
pitable thoughts intent. "I'm not

I were treating you badly. Come,
sir-np," she continued, putting up
her hand as he tried to kiss her,
"business firat,plsasure. ifterwards,"
and they went into the dieing room
laughing.
Mark Frettlby wandered down to
the lawn tennis ground, thinking of
the look he bad seen in Brian's eyes.
He shivered for a moment in the
hot sunsbine,as though it had grown
suddenly chill.
"Some one. stepping across my
grave,"• he murmured to himself,
with a cynical 'smile. "Bahl how
superstitious I am, and yet -he
knows, he knows?"
"Come on, Big,' cried !Felix, who
had just caught sight of him, ia
racket awaits you."
Frettlby awok•' with a start, and
found himself near the lawn tennis
ground,and Felix at his elbow,amok-
ing a eigatette.
He roused himself with a groat
effort and tapped lite young man
lightly on the shoulder.
"Whet?" he said with a ioiced
laugh, "do you really expect me to
play lawns tennis on Awls a "lily?
Yon are mad.'
"I am hot, you wean," retorted
the impeitur.ble Rolleston, blowing
a wreath of smoke.
"That's a foregone conclusion,"
said Dr Cbinston, who came up at
that moment.
"Such a charming (revel," cried
Julia, who had just caught the last
remark.
"What it?" asked Patorson,rather
puzzled.
"Howells'' bo:,k, 'A Foregone
Conclusion," said 'ulia,also looking
puzzled. "Weren't -you talking
about it?"
"I m afraid this talk, iia getting
slightly incohe.-eat," said Falix,.with
a sigh. "We all seen madder than
usual to -•day."' ==-\ ,
"Speak for yourself," said Chios -
ton, indignantly; "I'm as sane as
any titan in the world."
"Exactly," retorted isle other,
coolly, "that's what I say, and you,
being a doctor, ought to know that
every man and woman in the world
is more or less road."
"Where are your facts," asked
Chinston, smiling.
"My facts are all visible ones,"
said Felix, gravely pointing to the
corn4iany. "They're all crooked on
some point or anot"1er."
There was a chorus of indignant
denial at this, and then every ono
burst out laughing at the extraor-
dinary way in which Mr Rolleston
was arguing.
"If you go on like that in the
house," said Frettlbyt,,amused, "you
will, at all events, hills an enter-
taining parliament."
"Ah! they'll never have an en-
tertaining parliament till they ad-
mit ladies," observed Paterson, with
a quizzical glance at Julia.
"It will be a parliament of love
then," retorted the doctor, dryly,
"and not medieval either."
While every one a al laughing at
this remark, Frettlby tco'c the doc-
tor's arm and walked away with
him. "I want you to.conro up to
my study, doctor," be said, as they
strolled toward the house. "and ex-
amine me."
"Why don't you feel well?'' said
Chinston, as they entered flie'honse:
"Not lately," replied Frettlby.
"I'm afraid I've got heart disease."

what did yon think of Rolleston's
argument about people being mad?'"'
"It was amusing," replied Chins -
ton, taking a seat, Frettlby doing
the same, "That'd all I can say
about. it, though, mind, you,I think
there are more egad people at large
than the world is aware. of."
"Indeed!"
"Yea;, do. you remember that hor-
rible story of Dicksons' in the
'Pickwick Papers,' about the man
who was mad, and kuew it, yet
successfully concealed it for years?
Well, I believe there are many pen-
ple like that in the world, people
wheats lives are one long struggle
against; insanity, and yet who eat,
drink, talk and walk with the rest
of their fellow meu,evidently as gay
ltad1ight hearted as they are."
"How extraoreidary."
"Half the .murders and suicides
are done in temporary fitis of insani-
ty,"
nsani-
tq " went on Chinston, "and if a
person broods over anything, his
indipient is sure to break out sooner
or later but, of course, there are
cases where a perfectly, sang, person
may committ it .murder on theirs-
,pulse of the moment, but I regard
auel persons as mad .for the time
being; but, again, a murder may be
planned and executed in the most
cold blooded manner."
' "And in the latter ease," said
Frettlby, without looking at the
doctor,- and playing with the paper
knife, "do you regard the murderer
as mad?"
"Yes, I do," answered the doctor,
bluntly. "He is as mad as a person
who killst,another.heoause be sup-
poses he has been told by bed to do
so -only there is method in his
madness. For instance, I believe
that hansom nab murder, in which
you were mixed u--"
"D- it, sir! I wasn't mixed up
in it," interrupted Frettlby, pale
with anger.
"Beg pardon," said Chinaton,
coolly, "a slip of the tongue; I was
thinking of Fitzgerald. Well, I be-
lieve that crime to have been pre-
meditated, and that the man who
committed it was mad. He is, no
doubt, at large now, walking about
and conducting himself as sanely as
you or I, yet the germ of insanity is
there, and sooner or later he will
commit another crime."
"How do you know it was pro
meditated?" asked Frettlby, ab-
ruptly.
"Any one can see that," answered
the other. "Whyte was watched on
that night, and when Fitzgernll
went away the other was ready to
take hia place, dressed the same."
"That's nothing," retorted Fret-
tlby,looking at his companion sharp-
ly. "There are dozens of men in
Melbourne who wear evening dress,
light coats and soft hats --in fact, I
generally wear them myself."
"Well, that might have been a
coincidence," said the doctor, rather
disconcerted; "but the use of chloro
form puts the question beyond a
doubt; people don't usually carry
chloroform about with them,"
"'I suppose not," answered the
other, and then the matter dropped.
Chinston made an examination of
Mark Frettlby, and when he had
finished his face was very grave,
though he laughed at the million-
aire's fears.
"You're all right," he said,gayly.
"`Action of the heart a little weak,
that's all - only," impressively,
"avoid excitement -avoid excite-
ment." -
Just as Frettlby was putting on
his coat a knock came to the door
and Madge entered.
"Brain isigone," she began. "Oh,
I beg your pardon, doctor, but is
papa ill?" she asked with sudden
fear.
"No, child, no," said Frettlby,
hastily, "I am all right; I thought
my heart was affeoted, but it isn't."
"Not a bit of it," answered Chins•
ton, reassuring. "All right, only,
avoid eXcitement."
But when Frettib,f turned to go
to the door, Madge, who bad her
eyes fixed on the doctor's face, saw
how grave it was.
"There is danger?" s'ze said,touch•
ing his arm as they paused for a
moment at the door.
"No, no!" be answered hastily.
"Yes there is," she persisted.
"Tell me the worst; it is best for me
to know."
Tho doctor looked at her in sono
doubt for a few moments and then
placed his hands on her shoulder.
"My dear young lady," he said
gravely, "I will tell you what I
have not dared to tell your father,"
"What?" she asked in a loan voice,
her face growing pale.
"His heart is affected."
"And there is great danger?"
"Yes, great danger. In the event
of any sudden shock--" Ho hesi-
tated.
"Yes--"
"He would probably drop down
dead."
"My
God!"

Mr Calton sat in his office read-
ing a letter ho had just received
from Fitzgerald, and it seemed to
giro him great satisfaction, judging
from the complacent smile on his

Calton, leaning back in his chair, as
he laid down the letter. "1 wonder

ton, thoughtfully, "truth is stranger,
than fiction."
Here a knock came to the door,
and in answer to en invitation to
enter, it opened, and Kilsip glided
into the room.
"You're not engaged,sir," he said,
in a soft, low voice.
"Oh, dear, no," answered Calton,
carelessly, "come in, come ie.
Kilsip closed the door softly, and
gliding along in his usual velvet
footed manner, sat down in a chair
near Calton's, and placing his hat
en the ground, looked keenly at the
barrister.
"Well, Kilsip," said Calton, with
a yawn, playing with his watch
chain, "any good news to tell me?''
"Well,nothing particularly new,"
purred the detective, rubbing his
hands together.
"Nothing new, and nothing true,
and no matter," said Calton, quot-
ing Emerson. "And what have
you come to see me abouts'
"The hansom cab murder," re-
plied the other quietly.
"The devil!" cried Calton,startled
out of his professional dignity.
"And have you found out who did
it?"
"No!" answered Kilsip, rather
dismally; "but I've got an idea."
"So bad Gorby," retorted Calton,
dryly,"an idea that ended in smoke.
Have you any practical proofs?"
"Not yet."
"That means yon arc going to get.
some?
"Well, if possible."
"Much virtue in 'if,' " quoted
Calton, picking up a pencil and
scribbling idly on his blotting paper.
"And to whom does your suspicion
point?"
"Aha?" said Kilsip, cautiously.
"Don't know him," answered the
other coolly;"family name Humbug,
I presume. Bosh! 'Whom do you
suspect?"
Kilsip looked around cautiously,
as if to make sure they were alone,
and then said, in a stage whisper :-
"Roger Moreland!"
"That was the young Ulan that
gave evidence as to how Whyte got
drunk?"
Kilsip nodded.
"Well, and how do you connect
him with the murder?"
"Do you remember in the evi-
dence given by the cabmen, Ploys
ton and Rankin, they both swore
that the man who was with Whyte
on that night wore a diamoni ring
on' -the forefinger of the right hand?"
"What of that? • Nearly every
second man in Melbourne wears a
diatnond ring."
"But not on the forefinger of the
hand."
"Oh! And Moreland wears a ring
in that way?"
"Yee!''
"Merely a coincidence. Is that
all your proof?"
"All I can obtain at present."
"It's very weak," -said Calton,
scornfully.
"The weakest proofs may form a
chain to . hang a man," observed
Kilsip, sententiously.
"Moreland gave his evidence
clearly enough," said Calton, rising
and walking up and down. "He
met Whyte; they got drunk togeth-
er. Whyte went out of the hotel,
and shortly afterward Moreland fol-
lowed with the coat, 'which was left
behind by Whyte, and then some-
body snatched it from him."
"Ab, did they?" interrupted Kil•
sip, quickly.
"So Moreland says," said, Calton,
stopping short. "I understand; you
think Moreland was not so drunk
as he says, and after following
Whyte outside, put on his coat, and
got into the cab with Miro."
"That is my theory."
"It's ingenious enough," said the
barrister; "but why should More-
land murder Whyte? What motive
had ho T'"Those palters-"
"Pahaw! another idea of Corby's,"
said Calton, angrily. "IIow do you
know there wero any papers!"
The fact is, Calton did not intend
Kilsip to know that Whyte really
Childr' n Cry for
•
ut it?" 1
A reproachful look came into
Kileip's white foe.
"Not quite so green, he said,
forcing a smile. "I thought you'd
a better opinion of me than that,Mr
Calton, Ask him ---aro."
"Then how did you find outi"
"The fact is Moreland is employ-
ed as a bat man in the Kangaroo
hotel."
"A barman!" echoed Calton; "and
he came out here as a gentleman of
independent fortune. Why, hang
it, man, that in itself is sufficient to
prove that be had no moti'a to mur-
der Whyte. Moreland pretty well
lived on Whyte, so what could have
induced him to his golden goose
and become a barman-pshaw! the
idea is absurd."
"Well, you may be right about
the matter," said Kilsip, rather
angrily; "and if Gorby makes mis-
takes I don't pretend to be irfall-
ible. But at all events when I saw
Moreland in the bar he wore a sil-
ver ring on the forefinger of -hie
right hand."
"Silver isn't a -diamond."
"No, but it shows that was the
finger he was aroustomed to wear
his ring on. When I saw that I
determined to search bis room. I
managed to do so while he was out
and found--"
"A mare's nest?"
Kilsip nodded.
"And so your castle of c,'.rds falls
to the ground," said Calton, jesting-
ly. "Your idea ie absurd. More-
land no more committed that mur-
der than I did. Why ho was too
drunk on that night to do any-
thing."
"Humph -so he says."
"Well, men don't calumniate
themselves for nothing."
"It was a lesser fit, Jr to avert
a greater one," replied Kilsip,coolly,
"I ata sure that Moreland was not
drunk on that night, He only said
so to escape awkward questions.
to bis movements. Depend upon
it he knows more than he lets out."
"Well, and how do you intend
to set about the matter?"
'7I shall start looking for the coat
first."
"Ab! you thiuk he has hidden it?"
"I'm sure of it. My theory is
this: When Moreland got out of the
cab at Powlett street--"
"But he didn't," interrupted Cal-
ton, angrily.
"Let us suppose, for the sake of
argument, that he did," said Kilsip,
quietly. "I say when he left the
cab he _walked up Powlett street,
turned to the left thwn George
street, and w a)kmi back to town
through the Fitzroy gardens, then,
knowing that the coat was notice-
able, ho threw it away, or hid it,
and walked out of the girdens
through the town
"In evening dress more noticeable
than coat."
"Ile wasn't in evening dress,"
said Kilsip, quietly.
"No more he was," observed Cal-
ton, eagerly, recalling the evidence
at the trial. "Another blow to your
theory. The murderer was in even-
ing dress -the cabman said so."
"Yes; bouause lie had seen Mr
Fitzgerald in evening dress a few
minutes before, and thought that
he ,was the sone man who got into
the gib with Whyte."
"Well, what of that?"
. "If you remember, the second
man had his coat buttoned up.
Moreland wore -dark trousers --at
least, I suppose so --and, with the
coat buttoned ap, it was easy for
the cabman to make the mistake,
believing, as ho did, that'it was Mr
Fitzgerald."
"That sounds better,' said Calton,
thoughtfully. "And what are you
going to do?"
"Look for the coat in the Fitzroy
gardens."
"Pahawl a wild goosocbase."
"Possibly," said Kilsip, as be
arose to go.
"And when shall 1 see you again?"
said Calton.
"Oh, to -night," said Kilsip, paus-
ing at the door. "I had nearly for-
gotten, Mother Guttersnipe wants
to see you."
"Why? What's ups"
"She's dying, and wants to tell
you some secret."
"Rosanna Moore, by Jove!" said
Calton. "She'll tell me something
about her. I'll got to the bottom
of this yet. All right, I'll be here
at eight o'clock."
"Very well, sir!" and the detec-
tive glided out.
"I wonder if that old hag knows
anything?" said Calton to hiroself,as
he resumed his seat. "She might
have overheard some conversation"
between Whyte and his mistress,
and is going to split. Well, I'm
°afraid when Fitzgerald does confess
I will know. all about it befotte-
hand."

THE MILLIONA,IRE'S SECRET.
" The eeorgt of meccas, " said the
prince of American millionaires, is very
simple. Keep out of debt, keep your
head clean and bowels open." Thus in
twelve words• of wisdom was summed
up the policy which turned a poor boy
into a hundred -millionaire. Success
often hinges upon as small a, matter as
the state of the bowels. So you see
that Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative
Pelletc are not only the royal road to
health, but to wealth and happiness as
