Despite Stanleys advice and the dawn that peered at hltn as he went to bed, Renshaw was up at seven the next morning. lie had not slept well. He had tried to sleep, knowing that the coming day might be a strenuous one. But his thoughts whirled like leaves in an autumn blast. Though connected mental effort was impossible, he could not cease thinking. In the fitful naps to which his exhaustion finally succumbed, his dreams were as unrestful as his thoughts. He was wandering through dark labyrinths. He was laboriously ascending desolate mountain paths. He was lost and confused In crowds. And never once did he have a definite objective. That realization, when he took it in upon awakening, disturbed him most of all. Not even his subconscious processes, he told himself, were yet normal. He felt better after a cold plunge, and when he entered the dining room he showed no outward effects of the strain of the night. Both Jenks and James were in the room, standing by the sideboard and talking in low tones Renshaw had detoured to the left wing on his way down stairs, and had tapped at the door to ask news of the patient, receiving from the nurse the stock report of the average sick room: the patient was resting comfortably. lie returned the respectful greetings of the twTo servants, and ap proached with zest the adventure of examining (he hot dishes on the sideboard. While he was helping himself to omelet and bacon, the two physicians bustled into the dining room They were obviously in exuberant spirits. Morris, indeed, wore the uplifted look of a modest man honored beyond his deserts, and Stanley was vain enough to be pleaded ns well as mildly amused by the awe with which his country colleague regarded him. Both greeted the secretary with cordiality, into which Stanley now Infused something of the personal interest due to a protege. They filled their plates like hungry schoolboys. Campbells going to be all right, Stanley predicted, in response to first question, as he returned "Cant to the table and sat down. kill that old boy. Hes determined to By the sing hymns at my funeral. way, it was only for a few seconds that he recovered consciousness, 1 think you said? Yes, just about that, Renshaw answered. "He seemed very anxious to say something, and finally he brought It out. "Just what was it, again? He instructed me In three words to take charge here. Renshaw was glad to have this point developed, and especially in the presence of the two servants. That there might be no mistake about the matter, he clinched his case by adding casually, Miss Campbell and 1 were alone with him at the time. Is that all he said? Stanley, who had stopped eating for a moment, fell zestfully upon some sausages. He had very hard work to bring that out. He drifted off again as soon as my reply showed that I understood. The effort had exhausted him. nm-m- . Well, thats all rlght.r Just what was all right Stanley did not specify. Probably it was the sausages. Im going back to town this mornThis ing, he added in another tone. is ine keeping pneumonia epidemic uncomfortably busy. But Ill run out again tomorrow afternoon, anyway and of course if theres any change Ill come at once. Meantime Doctor Morris will be right here on the Job. Weve decided that hed better make Tawmo Ker his headquarters for a day or so, till were sure the patient is on the mend. We dont want to take any chances. I suppose you can make him comfortable? Of course. It will be a great relief to have him here. Renshaw spoke with unusual heartiness. It would be good to have the simple but agreeable personality of Morris in the house, and in more ways than one. After breakfast he went with Jenks to the left wing to look over Morris quarters and to assure himself tile lten-sha- comfort he bad promised was available. Jenks," he said, after being satisfied about that, I wish you would give me an idea of the domestic routine here. Who, for example, orders the meals? Miss Campbell, sir. She writes the menus for the day every morning, and gives them to me. You do the ordering and marketing? W Yes, sir, mostly by telephone. have a large store room, well supplied, and a hamper comes from New York once a week."

The for some reason Jenks foreign lady, steadfastly refused to force his tongue to a contest with the name of Uvoes-le- f "she has a nurse for the little girl; a sour creature she Is, too, sir; and she dont speak a word of English. But she runs in and out of Madames room a good deal and helps her to dress for dinner." Renshaw checked these personal revelations. e So belongs to Madame Hvoeslef? he mused. "Miss Wanda? She apYes, sir. pears to be her grandchild. The halls and bedrooms are looked after hy Annie? Renshaw had returned to practical details. crowns. And the authors august master, shaking on his own tottering throne, didnt want them published. When the author died, the widow was offered a fortune for the manuscript. She refused the fortune, knowing It meant that the manuscript would be destroyed, and that her husband's greatest wish was to have it published. Then efforts were made to steal it rather desperate efforts, from all I've heard. To save the material she fled with it to this country, in disguise and under an assumed uatne." observed Renshaw withHumph out enthusiasm. She was traced to New York by agents of the august master, Stanley went on placidly. According to her story and evident conviction, their orders were to get that manuscript and all those invaluable historic letters and documents at any cost. Her very life was In danger. In fact, two attempts were made on it In Europe. She knew Verity Campbell, so when she arrived Verity went to New York and brought her and her grandchild and the nurse back here In the dead 1 t, d Forty-secon- His Reply Are with a weak, vyorn and achy; so miserable you c,Vntenjoy a moment's comfort?

I thought the cook was English, from the breakfasts. Theyre all right, too, Renshaw hastened to add, recalling the ample justice he had done to the three he had eaten. Jenks was looking relieved.

Jenks faded asvny, and Renshaw descended to the lower floor and turned toward the study. The duty nearest his hand was to open the morning mail and reply to that part of it which required attention. Also, he desired to have a private talk with Stanley before he left. But, instead of doing these things, he equipped himself with a coat and cap in the convenient hall closet and strolled out of the house. He would smoke an cigar first of all. He Joined Stanley Just as that gentleman was stepping into his car. Suppose you send the machine down to the road and let me walk to the gate with you," Renshaw suggested. There are one or two things Id like to ask you about. All right. 1 wondered where you were. The ph.vsician motioned to his chauffeur, and the car went on ahead of them. "The first thing I want to ask, said Renshaw, going straight to his point as the two walked down the long driveway, is what you meant by warning me that there was an unusual condition of things at Tawno Ker. Now that Im in charge here, and the owner is helpless, I think I ought to know what those conditions are especially as they may have had something to do with Campbells stroke. Stanley shook his head. Not a bit of it, he said brusquely. Besides, theyre all over now; and they didnt amount to much in the first place, except to one person. May I ask what they were? Of course. 1 heres no reason why Campbell himyou shouldnt know. told have would you, no doubt, self in a day or two.

V Organization of Scientists The Royal society grew out of two small groups of friends, who met occasionally in London and Oxford to discuss scientific questions, about the middle of the Seventeenth century. These were organized into a definite society in 1660, and two years later the society was granted a charter by Charles II and Incorporated as the Royal society. Its enrly meetings took place in Gresham college, and afterwards In Crane court. In 1782 the place of meeting was transferred to Somerset house, and in 1857 to Burlington house, London.
