Chicago, Sept. 7.—The tangled af
fairs of the Beldlng Hall Company,
which, on application of the creditors
was declared bankrupt and a receiver
appointed, may lead to criminal pro
ceeding! agalnet Jesse E. Hall, presl
dent of the company, who has gone to
Canada.
James B. Forgan, president of the
First National Bank, charges directly
that the failure of the Deldlng-Hall
Company le due to the fact that Presl-
dent Hall and other employees appro
priated over $300,000 to their own use,
much of which amount, he declared,
had been lost In speculations In Wall
street and “wild cat" mining stocks,

He stopped, thought a moment and
then uttered these fateful words:
"Ruth Pritchard must not recover."
CHAPTER LIV.
8ylvia Qoee.
Nurse Mason took up her new duties
that night at Moorrombe, having first
of all had a long talk with Dr. Peard,
who had called to see Ruth Pritchard.
"She seems a thoroughly capable
person," the doctor said, a* he rejoined
the Judge and Mrs. Thurston In the
drawing room. “Between ourselves
and the wall, I'm not struck with her
personal appearance. She has a hard,
shrewd, masculine face, but that la, of
course, only a secondary consideration.
The main point Is that she knows her
business. Ruth will be perfectly safe
In her hands, I am convinced.”
"It was extremely kind of Dr. Mueller
to hnve nttended to this matter,” Mrs.
Thurston said. "And what Is more, he
declares he will not permit ue to be
under any expense because, of the
nurse's presence In the house. But
that la really out of the question. It
would be too unreasonable of us to
permit It.”
Upstairs In Ruth Pritchard's room.
Sylvia was at the same moment talk

to force herself to form a favorable Im

Mueller hud Introduced to Moorcombe.

the new nurse's face—something In her
mnnner, In the very sound of her
voice that chilled and repelled Sylvia.
A vague sense of distrust and dislike
oppressed hc» whenever she looked Into

"Poor Ruth! I wonder what aho
thinks of tills woman, or Is she nt all

thought, as she glanced toward the
mute, motionless form In the bed—upon
the mask-llke, pallid face, with Its set
features, Its ghastly mimicry of death!
•'Have you ever seen a similar case
to till", nurse?" Sylvia naked, as she
withdrew her sorrowful glance from
Ruth.
"I've nursed a woman In Chicago
whose symptoms and this girl's were
almost Identical. Miss Thurston. The

"And that brat of Bracebrldge?"
Mueller remarked nonchalantly, al

Mason. "I have left It three miles

I needed the help of a woman—you
ought to remember full well. The child

“Tou probably will be here a long

word?" Sylvia asked, with a shudder.
"Never one word, Mies Thurston.
She seemed to be making an effort to
speak now and then, but the attempt
was utterly futile. Even by putting
one's ear to her lips It was Impossible
to distinguish the syllables—Impossible,
Indeed, to be quite certain os to whether
she was trying to speak or not."
"How terrible! And was her mind
clear all the time? Was she fully con
scious of what was sold and done In
her room?”
"She stated afterward that she had
been fully conscious all the time. But
I've read of a cose, Miss Thurston,
where a man was actually laid out for
death and put Into a coffin while In a
trance, and although he was actually
conscious of every movement that was
going on, he could not so much as
move an eyelid to betray hie real state.
Luckily, at the last moment, as they
were screwing down the lid of the cof
fin, the horror of hie situation broke
through the physical trammels that
fettered him and he uttered a shriek
of horror and started up, a raving ma
niac."
“There Is a terrible story of Sheridan
lo i-’anu's based on somewhat similar
lines to that,” Monica Peard, who had
quietly entered the room during Nurse
Mason's recital, now remarked.
"Yes, I've read It: The Boom In the
Dragon Volant,' I think Is the name;
but I'm not quite sure.”
"I think, Sylvia, we ought to leave
Nurse Mason with her patient,” Mon
ica said, as shs became aware of the
pallor of Sylvia’s face and the startled
look In her eyes. “Come, dear.”
And she almost forcibly led Sylvia
from the room.
Dislike.
‘‘I dare say that woman knows her
business, but I must say I don’t care
for her,” Monica sold, when she had
returned to Sylvia'* room, which she
shared with her friend. >
"Nor do I. Oh, Monica won’t It bo
a terrible thing If poor Ruth Is doomed
to this death-ln-llfe for a prolonged
time? 1 can not endure the thought."
"Well, we must only hope for ths
best, dear. There la one thing certain,
Ruth will get very excellent care. Dad
will keep her under his eyt constant
ly, and It Nurss Mason does not turn
out to be all that eho should be, ehe
had better look out for some other post
—as she will find when she has has dad
to deal with."
Monica’s encouraging words and
manner comforted Sylvia, as they usu
ally did Indeed, and during the en
suing couple of days Monica hurdly
ever left Sylvia's side.
"I will not allow her to give way to
any fresh fears and anxieties,” Monica
said to herself. "I shall be always at
hand, ready to nip any such unhealthy
symptoms In ths very bud."
The most trying test of Monica's
self-imposed task came when, on the
morning of their departure from Moor
combe, Sylvia went to Ruth’s bed room
to bid goodby to her foster-sister.
As she threw herself on her knees |
beside Ruth's bed and stooped over the
deathlike face, the memories of the
past happy years thronged fast and .
thick on Sylvia's heart—the years In
which Rutli and Raymond and herself I
had shared so many Joys together—
an<l Monica, us she keenly watched !
Sylvia's face, suddenly became aware .
that now or never she was called upon
to prove the power of her tactics.
"Come, Sylvia. Come, deur! Come
this Instunt!" she cried almost stern
ly, as she forcibly lifted the girl from
her knees. T will allow you to kiss
her once, only once, and then you j
must leave her. We shall have a close-
run as It le for the truln. And If we
lose It, all our arrangement* will be :
upset."
By sheer strength of will (ae well ue
of arms) Monica gained her |>olnt. Not,,
Indeed, until Sylvia found herself seat
ed in the old carrluge and already half
way down the avenue did she fully re
alise the facts that the ordeal was
over and that she had actually started
on her Journey.
At Cleveland Mueller was waiting
eagerly and Impatiently at the station.
Hut there was Utile time, and Monica
wae glad of It, for speeches of fare
well.
'Goodby, darling, and bon voyage.
I hope to see you very shortly again.
Don't be surprised If I suddenly appear
ut Dr. Hurry'* house before the last of
the withered leaves have been whirled
oflf the tree* by ths wild winds of No
vember."
'Oh that the time were come," he
said to himself, "when there shall be
no more partings between ue!"
But even ue the thought crossed his
heart a shiver crept through him, and
u shadow of apprehension dropped over
the sunny prospects. He turned away
abruptly. Jumped Into his dogcart out
side the station and drove homeward,
still haunted by that presentment
which It was Impossible to allay.
And when be arrived at last at The
Hollow and entered hts gloomy, deso
late house again—yet again he was
seized with the urgent Impulse to fly
from this depressing spot, to put an
end to this epoch of Ills checkered life,
and to go baek to the purpose which
had ruled hie life so long.
Then suddenly Sylvia's sweet face
seemed to come toward him out of the
shndowe of the vast hall; the low clear
voice that had enthralled him from the
moment he hod first met the girl
sounded again In his ears.
"No, I ran not give her up. It Is too
late—too late. Come what may, I shall
stand ray ground and await the fulfill-
ment of her promise. And who knows?
All may turn out happily yet—and the
past may be buried and forgotten!"

About the middle of January, Dr.
Mueller put*in an appearance at the
house In New York and spent a week
In the company of his bride-to-be.
Mueller decided to learn something
definite a* to his eager wish that Sylvia
should consent to be his wife In June.
They had strolled Into Central Park
together on this dull January day, and
as he touched directly on the subject so
near to his heart they came to a sudden
pause beneath the gaunt, leafless trees.
"You need a thorough change, dear
est, that la the truth of It." he said
eagerly, pleadingly. "And I want to
take you abroad, you see, for some
months, and In order to accomplish
this we must first of all be married;
