A year after my marriage my wife
unhappily berame the victim of a bad
accident in a cab, as a result of which
our child John was a cripple from his
birth. To this unfortunate babe, Miss

took a violent affection, which, as the
child's intelligence expanded, was am-
ply returned. Indeed, he cared more 1
for her than for his mother and my-
self put together, and 1 think that the
cause of their mutual attachment was |
to be found in Fanny's remarkable
strength of body and character. The
poor, weak, deformed boy rested on
solid depths of nature, as some by faith
are able to rest on Providence, with a
eense of absolute security. However
much pain he was in he would become
quiet when she came and took him in
her strong arms and nursed hi in.
Oddly enough, too. it was almost the
same thing with my wife.
She had never got over the effects of
her accident, and the shock of the birth
of our crippled boy. Indeed, as the
years went on, she seemed to grow
veaker and weaker, and to rely more
and more absolutely on Fanny.
The germ, small as a mustard seed,
which has now, after so many years of
experimental labor and patient
thought, grown up into the great tree
of my discovery, lay in my mind in the
form of a dormant speculation from
the very commencement of my medical
career. After my marriage it begau

afraid of being set down as one of
those enthusiasts who spend all their
lives in chasing a shadow.
Ac last, however, my secret grew
too heavy for me to bear, and one
night, after dinner, acting on some
sudden impulse, 1 began to unfold it to
my wife and Kanny. At first my wife
was much interested, and said that it
all sounded like one of Hoe's tales, but
presently, when I got more to the in-
tricate parts of my theorv, for it was
nothing but a theory then, she fell
into a brown study, and after a while
broke into the conversation. 1
thought she was following my line of
argument, and about to Question it, and
was rather disgusted when she said:
"Excuse me, Geoffrey, but did you
remember to send that check for the
coals?"
1 suppose T looked put out. at any
rate l stopped abruptly.
"Don't be vexed with me for in-

Quite so." I replied, with dignity.
•'Pray don't apologize; no doubt the
coals are more important than my dis-
covery."
"Nonsense, dear." she answered, with
a smile; "of course, if there .was any-
thing in what you say, it would he

true, you are as bad as that man Dar-

descended from monkeys, and what
we are told ill the Bible about Eve
t>eing made out of Adam's rib falls to
the ground. So you see it must be
nonsense, and the coals are the most
important, after all."
Now my dear wife was one of the
sweetest as she certainly was one of the
best, women in the world, but on one
point she was always prepared to lose
her temper, anil that point was Adam's
ribs. So, being aware of this, I held
my tongue, and after talking a little
more about the coals, she said that
she did not feel well, and was going
to bed.

CHAPTER 11
LL THE time that
1 had been holding
forth, until my elo-
quence was quench-
ed by the coal
quest! on, Fanny
was sitting opposite
me. watching my
JBMATO0 face with all her
eyes. Evidently she
J / was interested in
what I had to say,
though sho sat so silent. She was now
seventeen or eighteen years of age, anil
a very fine young woman indeed, but
a remarkably silent one.
When my wife had bidden us good-
night and gone, 1 filled my pipe and
lighted it, for 1 was ruffled, and smok-
ing has a soothing effect upon my
nerves.
"lieoffrey." saiil Kanny, when 1 had
finished, for she always called me
Geoffrey, "is this idea of yours a new
one? I mean, has it ever entered any-
body's brain before?"
"So far as I am aware." I answered.
"It is the out exception that was want-
ed to prove Solomon's rule -it is ab-
solutely and completely n. ^ (This
has subsequently turned out to be the
fact.)
"if I understand you rightly, your
idea, if it can be established, will
furnish a rational explanation of the
phenomenon of life."
"Quite so," 1 answered, for her In-
terpretation was in every way accurate,
almost pedantically so.
"And," she went on, "the certainty of
the practical Immortality of the soul,
or rather of the ego' or Indivlilaul
Identity, will follow as a necessary con-
sequence, will It not?"
"Yes. Individual immortality of
everything that has life is the kefitoue
this point alone I am out of the race
anil 1 fear that the Secret of Life will
never be discovered by me, though
perhaps 1 shall be able lo put some one
else on the track of it."
"Yes," said the girl, quietly, "that
Is true enough, but you forget one
thing. If you are not a mathemati-
cian, I am, and 1 can enter into your
ideas, Geoffrey, for I believe that we
have grown very much alike during
the last four or five years—I mean in
mind."
1 started, for both her statements
were perfectly accurate. The girl had
remarkable mathematical faculty, al-
most approaching to genius. I had
procured for her the best instruction
that 1 could, but sho had now arrived
at that point when Instructors were
of no further use to her. In those
days, of course, there were not the fa-
cilities for female education that there
are now, and though it is not so very
long ago, learning in woman was not
thought so very highly of. Men rather
said, with Martial: "Sit non doctlssima
conjunx," and so her gift had hitherto
not proved of any great service to her.
Also she was right in saying that we
had grown al'ke in mind and ways of
thought. She had come into the house
quite young, but young as she was,
she had always been a great com-
panion to me. Not that she was much
of a talker, but she understood how to
listen and to show that she was giving
her attention to what was being said
a thing that, in my opinion a very few
women can do. And I suppose that in
this way, she, in the course of time,
became thoroughly imbued with
ideas, and, in short, that her mind
I thought, took its color from my own.
At any rate, it did so superficially, and
I know that she would understand the
drift of my thoughts long before any-
body else did, and would even some-
times And words to clothe them before
1 could myself.
"Why should we not work on the
Secret of Life together, Geoffrey?" she
said, fixing her dark eyes on my face,
"My dear," I answered, "you know
not v hat you do! Are yon prepared to
give up your youth, and perhaps all
you life, to a search and a study which
may and probably will after all prove
chimerical? Remember that such a
thing is not to be lightly taken up, or,
if once taken up. lightly abandoned.
If I make up my mind to understand it,
I shall practically be obliged to give up
my practice as a doctor to do it: and
the same, remember, applies to you,
for I should prove a hard task-master.
You would have to abandon all the
every-day aims and pleasures of your
sex and youth, to scorn delights and
live laborious days, on the chance of
benefiting humanity and for the cer-
tainty of encountering opposition and
ridicule."
"Yes," she said, "but 1 am willing
to do that. I wa.it to become some-
body and to do something with ray
life, not just to go out like one little
candle in a lighted ballroom and never
be missed."
"Very well, Fanny, so be it. I only
hope you have uot undertaken a task
beyond your strength. If you have
nut, you are a very remarkable wom-
an, that Is all."
At that moment our conversation
was disturbed by the sound of a person
falling heavily on the fioor of the room
above us, which was occupied by my
wife.
Without another word we both turn-
ed and ran up-stairs. I knocked at the
door, but, getting no answer, entered,
accompanied by Kanny, to find my dear
wife lying in her dressing gown in a
dead faint before the toilet table. We
lifted her up to the bed, and with great
difficulty brought her round, but this
fainting fit was the commencement of
her last illness. Her constitution ap-
peared to have entirely broken up, and
all we could do was to prolong her life
by a few monthb.
It was a most heart-breaking Uusi-
Faiiny colored and said nothing. 1
remember thinking afterward that i
most women would have cried.
And then the end tame and left me
broken-hearted.
It was the night after the funeral,
and 1 was walking up and down my j
little study, struggling against a ills- ,
tress that only seemed to further over- !
whelm me the more 1 tried to bear up j
against it, and thinking with t.hat help-
less bittterness that does come upon
us at such times, wrapping us, as it
were, in a mist of regret, of the many
little things 1 might have done to make
my dear wife happier while she lived,
and of the irreparable void her loss
had left in my life. It was well for her,
1 was sure of that, for what can be
better than to sleep? But in those
days that certainty of a future in-
dividual existence, which I have now
been able through my discoveries to
reach to. was not present with me. It
only loomed as a possibility at the end
of an untraveled vista. Sh
gone, and no echo came from
where she was. How could I know
that I had not lost her forever?
Or, even If she lived in some dim
heaven, that 1 too should make my
way thither, and find her unchanged;
for remember that change is death!
It has all passed now. I am as sure
as I write these words that at no dis-

which Dr. Wallace
Wood of the Uui- j
versity of the City
of New York found
by chance in Ijon-
don and brought to
this country, was
unveiled by him
the other morning
in the university building In Washing
ton square. The occasion was the
fourth lecture in the series on the "He-
roic in Art," which Dr. Wood, who is
professor o-f the history of art in the
university is delivering this spring.
The bust Is of Carrara marble, and is
larger than life size. Preparatory to
the unveiling, Dr. Wood said that If
there ever was a heroic spirit, surely
It was Mrs. Stowe's. She fought a
great evil anfl she won. "The only
two such evils she has left to us, I
think," said Dr. Wood, "are intemper-
ance or passion, and darkness or Ori-
ental superstition. These evils must be
fought by us, and these battles must be
won." He told one Incident of Mrs.
Stowe's life which he said he believed
had not been in print. It was of ber
first meeting with President Lincoln.
"Is this the little woman," the presi-
dent asked, as he took her hand. Dr.
Wood said, "who has made this great
, war?"
Dr. Wood told of his finding the bust,
by the merest accident of spending a
Sunday afternoon with a sick man in
Ixmdon, among the effects of Lord Sey-
mour Fitzgerald, formerly governor of
Bombay, where it had lain for ten years
subject to the accumulation of London
soot. His friend, Dr. Wood said, had
been a collector of art objects of vari-
ous sorts, and one day the Doctor
was asked him if he had any heads. After
some though he said that he had
among the marbles a bust of a coun-
trywoman of his visitor and brought
out the Durant sculpture. I)r. Wood,
who is of an enthusiastic nature, was
delighted beyond measure, so enrap-
tured that in the middle of that night—

said—he awoke and went down to the
