THE THIRD FINGER The bound was one of no manu order, and glance at the rows of books slowed them to be well-chosen, evidently the valued treasures of studious man. Upon the writing table was electric rending Lamp with green shade and a no panel photograph of a handsome woman in a heavy aliver frame. In the stationery rock upon the table the note paper bore on embossed cipher surmounted by a coronet. The darkened rooms was cool and restful after the heat and sun giare outside.
After a few moments the door re-opened, and there entered a very thin, pale-faced, slightly built man of perhaps sixty, carefully dreased in clothes of rather antique cut. He threw out his chat in walking and carried himself with stiff, unbending hantent. His dark eyes were small and sharp, and his clean-shaven face rendered his aquiline features, the more pronounced.
Good morning he said, greeting me in a thin aquacky voice. “I am very glad my eer vant found you at home."
"And I too, am glad to be of service, if possible," I responded.
He motioned me to be seated, ut the some time taking a chair behind his writing-table Was by design or by accident in the petion tender bent that it

"I called you in to day, Doctor" he explained, resting his thin almost waren hands upon the table, not so much for medical advies us to have a chat with you.”
"But the patient?" I observed. "Had I not botter see hor first, and chat afterwards?"
No." he respondod. It is necessary that we should first, anderstand one another per fectly." M
I glanced at him, but his face was only a grey blotch in the deep shadow. Of its expression could observe nothing. Who, I wondered, was this man P
Then the patient is better, I presume "Better, but still in a precarious condition," he replied, in a snapping velco. Then, after moment's passa, he added in a more consiliatery tone: I don't know, Doctor, whether you will agree with me, but I have a theory that just as overy medical man and lawyer has his fes, so has every man his price."
**I scarcely follow you," I said, somewhat ozzlell,
“I moan that every man, no matter what his station in life, is ready to perform services for
another, providing the mum is sufficient in pay
ment."
I smiled at his philosophy, "There is a good deal in that, I remarked, but, of course, there are exceptions.""
Are you one he inquired sharply, in a strange voice.
I hesitated His question was curious. I could not see his object in such observations.
Task you a plain question, he repeated: "Ars yense rich as to be beyond the necessity of money
"No," I answered frankly. "I'm not rich. Doctors are not usually a wealthy class. It is hard work and wauty gain in the medical pro

"I don't numit unything of the kind." laughed, not, however, without a feeling of indignation. He seemed to be a swaggerer parvenu, perhaps one of those men who, hav ing made money quickly, believe that their gold can purchase everything.
Well, he said, after a few moment's hesita tion, during which time his pair of small black eyes were, I knew, fixed upon me, I'll speak more plainly. Would you object, for instance, to taking a fee of five figuros to-day
A foe of five figures ** I repeated, puzzled. "I don't quits follow you.”
Fire figures equal teu thousand ponadu," he said alowly, in a strange voice.
A fee of fire figures! I repeated, puzzled. For what posted, puzzl In an instant it flashed socross my mind that the thin, grey-faced man before me was trying to suborn mo to commit murder that crime so easily committed by a doctor. The thought staggered me.

He is no longer in England, other wise I would unite them. The suggestion I have to make to you is that you should assume that man's place and marry my daughter.
Marry her!" T gasped.
spell of this man's prosencs I obered and fol lowed him, curious to see the face of the woman to whom I was to give my nanie,
Together we went forth into the hall, where stood the manservant who had admitted me.
Is ererything ready. Davies his master inquired.
← Everything, sir. The carriage is at the door.
**I would ask of you one favour," the Temp- ter said in a low voice."Do not express may surprise. All will bo afterwards explained."
From the tuner pocket of his frock-cost he produced a pair of white kid gloves, which he handed me, observing, with a smile.
"They are large for you, I fear, bat a few sizes too large don't much matter. You will meet my daughter at the church. It looks better."
Theb, as I commenced patting on the gloves, we went forth together, entering the smart brougham awaiting us. All properations had evidently been raade for my marriage.
Yes Not being in possession of all her faculties, she will therefore not distinguish be-ed was I by my singular situation that I took tween her true lover and yourself. She will bellave herself marched to him, and her last mo- ments will be rendered happy last mo
I did not reply The suggestion held me dumbfounded
"
Our drive was not a long one, but so bewilder-
little notice of the direction in which we were travelling. Indeed, I was utterly unfamiliar with that part of London, and I only know that we crossed Sloane Street, and after traversing mama number of back streets suddenly stopped before "I know that the proposal is a very extra- a church standing in a small cul-de-sac. ordinary one," he went on, his voice trembling in deep earnestness, but I made it to you to desperation. By my own ill-advised action and interference Beryl, my only child, is dying, and I am determined, if possible, to bring to her poor, unbalanced mind peace in these the last hours of her existence. My remores is bitter, God knows! It is little that I can do in way of atonement, save to convince her of my for gitences."
His face, as he bent forward to me at the mo- meat, came for the first time within the broad har of sunlight that fell between as, and I saw how white and laggard it was. The counton. ance was no longer that of a haughty man, but of no rendered desperate
The strip of faded red baise upon the steps showed that we were expected, but the church was empty save for a wheezy, unshaven old ver- ger, who, greeting as, preceded as to a pow in front.
Scarcely had we seated ourselves, conversing in whispers, when we heard a second carriage stop, and turning I saw in the entrance the silhoutte of my unknown bride in dead white satin.
She advanced up the aisle leaning heavily upon the arm of a smartly dressed man, who wore in monocle with foppish air. Her progress was slow, dus, no doubt, to extreme weakness. Her voll was handsome, but it realness, the dim gloss of the church I was quite unable to distinguish her features.

The sum is not sufficient, eh? Well, I'll double it. Let us say twenty thousand “
And the marriage you suggest is, I presume, to be a mock one!"

A mock one? No, a road and binding one entirely legal," he responitud "A marriage in church
Would not a mock one be just as effective in this mind of the unfortunate young lady?" I suggested.
No. There are reasons why a legal marriage should take place." he answered distinctly.
And they are?
E
Ah! upon that point I regret that I can not satisfy you" he answered. Is not twenty thousand pounds sufficient to satisfy you, with out asking questions?
But I cannot see how a legal marriago cun take place, I queried. There are surely formalities to be observed
Leave them all to me, he answered quickly, Rest assured that I have overlooked no detail in this affair. A mock marriage would, of course, have been easy enough, at I intend that Baryl shall be legally wedded, and for the service rendered me by becoming her husband on propared to pay you twenty thousand pounds on the instant the ceremony is con- cluded"
Then unlocking a drawer in his writing-table he drew forth a large bundle of notes secured

The bait was tempting. I had striven night
and day, working in the squalid slurs of cities and in the homies of the agricultural labourers, yet after seven years had been unable to save a single sovereign. The working man is better off than the humble practitioner
At that instant the Tempta bant tenderly to her, faring. "Beryl, my child, this is your wel. ding day. You are to be married to the man yon love. 'Listen!"
Than the clergyman began to drone the first words of the marriage service. Dearly le loved we are gathered together,', in a nasal one which sounded weirdly in the silence of the place, mutil lie came to the first question. to which I responded in a voice that seemed strange and cavernous.
I was selling myself for twenty thousand pounds. The thought caused me a slight twinge of conscience.
Turning to the excited woman at my side he. asked Wilt thou have this man to thy wed- dod husband, to live together after God's ordin- ance in the holy state of matrimony? Will thon obey him and serve him, love, honour and, koop hita in sickness and in health; and, fork- ing all other keep thee only unto him, so long as ve both shall live?
A silence foll, deep and complete.
Two ordinary looking men, who had enter. d the church to serve as witnesses, exchange- glances. Then a slight sound escaped my un- Inown bride like a low sigh, and we could just distinguish the reply
The remainder of the service was gabbled

The look I saw there startled me. Was he actually the Devil in human guise ?
He noticed the quick start I gave, and in stantly his features related into a smile.
I conget see what possible ground you have for scruples," he said. To deceive a dying girl in order to reader her last moments happy surely almissable. Conte, render me this tri fing service.
Arrived, at the house the woman who had sought me at Rowan Road samme forward to meet my bride and accompanied her at once upstairs, while we entered the dining-room. The two witnesses, who had followed in the second carriage, quickly joined us the hndler, Davies, opened champagne, and my health, with that of my bride, was drunk in solemn silence.

A few minutes later, however, I was again alone in the library with the Tempter, whose eyes had grown brighter, and whose face lind assumed an even more demoniacal expression. The door was closed; the silence nabreken.
