The necessity for further exertion, the need to curb his strong emotional na- ture, having all at once subsided, Paul’s mood changed. He entered the parlor by the {.3338 doors with a- lagging step, looked arOund the W room with a sinizizz'; heart, and shivered from head to foot. The rambling old house was mm: - urally qpiet, 'no sound of life broke the stillness in the low, winding passages, nor in the room abovehim. He paced the dingy carpet for what seemed to him an eternity, until the slamming of a door somewhere overhead set every nerve in his body tingling. ‘7 He went out to“the steps to listen; and turned his dark, anxious face to the grey mass of drifting clouds hover- ing above the house like a great brood- ing human trouble. Little soft gUSts of homeless night winds cooled his forehead and the fever in his veins, and in a measure calmed the tumult of doubt and confusion in his busy Hark! There were. low voices and delayed footsteps in the stone pas- sages. Felix was speaking ,and the doctor as plznctuating his sentences with little running comments.

Faithful family likenesses more often skip a generation or two, and perhaps once in a lifetime you’ll meet with a. queer, unammmtahle riddle like this one.” “What catch it.” “\Vl‘nere does he come from?” the doctor asked. “New Y0!“ .” “Ah I I \‘a'onder if he has heard the nanw of Jervois?” “1’11 'ask him,” Felix said wringing the doctor’s hand; “good- night. ” He lingered a moment at the gate, and looked down the road in the direc- tion of the Hall, an absent, far-away expression in his eyes. “By Jove!” he muttered, awakening from his short reverie and striding to- wards the house. “Farley’s on tenter- hooks in the parlor ,of course.” "Come in here,” he said, putting a hand on his shoulder and guiding him back to the parlor.
