“But 1 ava in Stmla,’~ 1 Kept repeat: ing to myself. ‘I, Jack Pansay, am in Simla, and there are no ghosts here. It’s unreasonable of that woman to pre- tend there are. Why couldn't Agnes have left me alone? I never did her any harm. It might just as wel] have been meas Agnes. Only I'd never have come back on purpose to kill her. Why can’t I be left alone—left alone and happy ?”’

It was high noon when I first awoke, and the sun was low in the sky before I slept—slept as the tortured criminal sleeps on his rack, too worn to feel fur- ther pain.

Next day I could not leave my bed. Heatherlegh told me in the morning that he had received an answer from Mr.

Mannering, and that, thanks to his (Heatherlegh’s) friendly offices, the story of my affliction had traveled through the length and breadth of Simlg, where I was on all sides wuch pitied

‘Sd that’s rather more than you deserve,"’ he concluded pleasantly, ‘‘thongh the Lord knows you've been going through a pretty severe mill. Never mind. We'll cure you yet, you perverse phenomenon. ’”’

I declined firmly to be cured. ‘*You have been much too good to me already, cld man,” said I, ‘*but I don’t think l need trouble you further. ”’

In my heart 1 knew that nothing Heutherlegh could do wonld lighten the burden that had been laid upon me

With that knowledge came also a sense of hopeless. impotent rebellion against the unreasonableness of it all There were scores of men no better than | whose punishments had at least been reserved for another world. and I feit that it was bitterly, crvelly unfair that { alone should have been singled ont for so hideous a fate. This mood would in time give place to another where it seemed that the rickshaw and I were the only realities in a worid of shadows: that Kitty was a ghost: that Manner- ing. Heatherlegh and all the other men and women I knew were all ghosts. and

the great, gray hills themselves but vain shadows devised to torture me

On the 15th of Muay I left Heather- legh’s house at 11 o'clock in the morn- ing. : the instinct of the bachelor drove me ‘to the club. There I found that every an knew my story as told by Hentherlegh. and was, in clumsy fashion. abnormally kind and attentive Nevertheless | recognized that for the

It is the best of all medicines for women who suffer from weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organs. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs, giving them health, strength, vigor and elasticity. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain, stops debilitating drains and tones the nerves. It fits for wifehood and motherhood. It rids maternity of its perils. It banishes the quaims of the expectant period and makes baby’s advent eas sand almost painless. It insures the c ild’s health and an ample supply of nourish- ment. It is the discovery of Dr. R.. Pierce, an eminent and skillful specialist, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Instt- tute, at Buffalo, N. ¥. All good druggists sell it.

Miss Edith Cain, of Clinton, Allegheny Co.. Pa., writes: “I take pleasure in expressing my faith in your ‘ Favorite Prescription. After two years suffering I began taking Dr. Pierce's medicine and now I am entirely cured. I had been troubled with female weakness for some time and algo with a troublesome drain on the system, but now I am happy and well. I cheerfully recommend Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre scription to all iuvalid ladies.”

I met Kitty on the homeward read— a shadow among shadows.

if I were to describe all the incidents of the next fortnight in their order, my story would never come to an end and your patience would be exhausted. Morning after morning and evening after evening the ghostly rickshaw and I used to wander through Simla to- gether. Wherever I went there the four black and white liveries followed me and bore me company to and from my hotel. At the theater I found them amid the crowd of yelling jhampanies; outside the club veranda after a long evening of whist; at the birthday ball waiting patiently for my appearance, and in broad daylight when I went call- ing. Save that it cast no shadow, the ricskhaw was in every respect as real to look upon as one of wood and iron. More than once indeed I have had to

Before I had been out and abouta week I learned that the ‘‘fit’’ theory bad been discarded in favor of insanity. However, I made no change in my mode of life. I called, rode and dined out as freely as ever. I hada passion for the society of my kind which I hadi never felt before. I hungered to be! among the realities of life, and at the same time I felt vaguely unhappy when I had been separated too long from my ghostly companion. It would be almost impossible to describe my varying moods from the 15th of May up to to- day.

The presence of the rickshaw filled me by turns with horror, blind fear, a dim sort of pleasure and utter despair. I dared not leave Simla, and I knew that
