GER THAN FICTION.® “TRUTH STRA In San Francisco, on the north side of Folsom Street, overlooking Mission Bay, stands a palatial residence. The interior of this house 1s even more beautiful tan its exterior, every apartment being In its way 4 gem of magnificence and refinement. The library espectally realizes the most perfect ideal of an elegant and cnitured home. And yet, at the moment we look in upon him~-one August afternoon, as he occupied his library—tne proprietor of ail this wealth appeared of all men the roast miserable, ie was Mr. Morton Preble, for many years a lead- ing banker of San Francisco, It was in vain that the broad pay window at the south end of the room had peen opened, giving tn- gresa to the sunshine and the fragrance of rare flowers; In vain that the wails were lined with richly carved bookcases and paintings; in vain that soft couches and Juxurioua chairs had been gathered around him, He was wretched. He lay on a sofa, in the deptha of the great bay wiodow, the wreck of a once fe erful man, His figure was thin and gaunt; his face white as mai bie: hts eyes having an expression of wofal appre- hension, of harrowing anxiety, of dreadful expect- ancy, It was evident at a glance that no merely physical ailment ew made him what be was. By what withering secret, by what destroyin; aMiiction, had he been thus agonized? thus haunted thos hunted? he go noble and good | he so wealthy and distinguisied | As he moved rostiessly upon his luxurious cushions the pretty clock on the mante! piece struck five, every stroke seeming to fail like a hammer upon the heart of the wervous invalid. He aroused himself, Sepacgivog rome to a aitting posture, “Oh, will tpis fatal day never, never pags?’ he murmured; “nor bring usrelet?’ Noticing, with @ Dervous start, that be waa alone, ’ “delen, Helen ! where are you? Before the echoes of his voice had died out a step ‘was heard and nis wife entered his presence, “I left you only for a moment, Morton,” she satd, advan to the banker's side. “You were dozing, I think. I wished to send for the doctor.” She was a beautiful woman of some six and thirty years, graceful, with broad white brows and loving eyes in which the rien has and sweetness of a fina anxiety no less poiguant tea Ural avinced be ne te spe , ’ an that evinced by e doctor |” he echoed, half reproachfully, es, dear,’’ she sald, ta a calm and cheertal voice as she drew a chair to the side of the sofa and sat down, stroking the corrugated forehead of the rae a Magneto tusk, “be will be here im- ~ Your jast nervous crisis alarm Cea eel eineenncenr ewes ir. le wed an affectionate look upon his wife, but said despondently: m “The doctor! He cannot ‘minister to a mind diseased! Oh, if these long hours would only pass ! If I only knew what the day has yet in store for us!” “Look up, Morton,” enjoined Mra, Preble, with a reverently trustful glance upward through the open window at the blue sky, and as if looking beyond the azure clouds “Let us appeal from the injusiice and wickedness of earth vo the goodness and mercy of Heaven.” ‘The banker gave a low, sobbing sigh. “I cannot look up, Helen,” he answered, with a Ppasstonate tremor in huis voice; “only down, downat the grave that 18 opening before me.” Mrs. Preble continued to stroke his forehead softly, while she lifted her pale face to the sunlight streaming into the apartment. “Look up, Morton; always look up,” she in enjoined upon the invalid. ‘During all these four- teen years of agony I have not once doubted either the goodness or the justice of Heaven. ‘Blessed are rene that mourn; for they shall be comforted.’ I beileve that we shail yet rejoice more keenly than we have mourned, and that we shall come to a see Oy. of joy beyond all this long night of ‘OW. The face of the invalid lighted up with an answer - ing pow. and he murmured:— “Glorious faith | My wife, you are tndeed a bless- ed comforter! Perhaps, after all, you are right |’ A knock resounded on a side door at this juncture, and the next moment Dr. gira the family physi- cian, for whom Mrs, Prebie sent, entered the room, He was an old man, portly in figure, with white hair and beard, but with a fresh and ruddy com- plexion, a pair of shrewd blue eyes, and with an ex- uberant boyishness of manner that sat well upon him. He had kind heart and aclear head, He approached the sofa after greeting the husband and wile and lifted the thin, resiless hand of the invalid, feeling his pulse, “Quite @ high fever,’ he said, after a brief pause, “Worrying again, eh, Mr. Prebie? You are wearing yourself out. Medicive will do you no good so long as your mind is in its present condition, I must you an oplate——" jot now, doctor,’ interposed the banker; “I cannot—must not—sleep to-day ! I need to be broad awake now, for I cannot tell at agy moment what the next may bring forth. 1 am looking for the cul- mination of all my years of anguisi—for the crown- ing agony of the whole. Perhaps even now—— Ah, what was that? He started up wildly, and then, as the sound that had disturbed him was not repeated, he sank back again on his cushions pallid and panting. ‘The doctor looked at Mrs. Preble with an anxious, questioning glance, “It is the anniversary,” she replied to his unspoken inquiry, ‘‘the anniversary of our loss.’? “Ah, yes," said the dostor, ‘I remember.’? “Yes, 18 another of those terrible days,” cried the banker, in a hollow whisper. “Sit down, doctor, and [ will tell you the whole story, I can think of nothing else to-day, and am almost wild with appre- hension and anxiety. Sit down.” Dr. Hutton drew up a chair and seated himself, his face expressing the double solicitude of a friend and physician. ‘ou knew us fourteen years ago, doctor,’ said Mr. Preble. ‘We lived then where we do now, in a cottage on the site of this great mansion. ‘rhere were but the three of us—Helen and J, And our three year old Jessie. And tt was fourteen years ago toxlay that our little Jessie was stolen from us. “I remember it,’’ said the doctor softly. “Yet might she not have been lost, Mr, Preble? She went out to play in the garden, if I remember rightly, and was never seen by you again. She might have strayed away——” “So we thought for a whole year, doctor,” inter- rupted the banker, “We never dreamed that she had been stolen. We searched everywhere for her and offered immense rewards for her recovery. I employed detectives, but all to no purpose. When our little Jessie ran down the steps into that fower garden,” and he pointed to the front of the house, “as if the earth had opened and swallowed her up, we never saw ber again.” “She must have found the gate open, and wan- dered ott,” sugzested Dr. Hutton. “She might have strolled down to the waters and been drowned.” The banker fixed his burning eyes upon the phy- siclan’s face, and whispered:— “{ said we never saw the poor child again. I did not say we had not heard of her. She was lost on the 9th of August, 1854, For a year we thought her dead. But on the anniversary of our loss we received @ written message concerning her.” “A message |"? cried Dr. Hutton, ent mere scraw|—a single line in @ hand evidently Ke icant sald the banker. ‘Here it ts.”” le produced a rd scrap of paper from a drawer in the table and held it up to the view of the phy- sician, who read as follows:— “August ¥, 1855, Jessie, ha, ha! Jessie.” Dr. Hutton looked with a puzzled air from the scrap of paper, which he turned over and over, to the countenance of the banker. “T can make nothing of this,’ he declared. “It is merely @ date with the name of your lost daughter. It tells me nothing.” “Nor did it us at first,” said Mr. Preble. “Then that name and that date, witn the demon laugh con- necting them, set us to thinking. A whole year we agonized over the dreadful problem, and tnen we received another message, which you shall see.’ He thrust ® second slip of paper, identical tn shape and appearance with the first, before the gaze of Dr. Hutton, who read it aloud:— “August 9, 1856. Your Jessie still lives.” The physician started, as if electrified. “Ab! this is something deflnite—something deci- sive,” he muttered, ‘Jt convinced you tht your daughter was still living.” ind every anni- «Yea, doctor,” said Mr. Preble; ¢ versary of that day has brought us some message. The disappearance of the child, mysterious as it 1s, does not seem to me half so strange as that the vil- lain who took her away could contrive to communt- cate with us every year since, and always on a par ticular day—the anniversary of that on which she ‘was stolen—without our being able to discover who he is. And a still greater wonder to me is what can be his motive. It seems incredible. If it was stated ina novel many people would not believe it, But ‘truth 1s stranger than fiction.’ ’” Eten Re od Lal oe mittee tale breast pocket his notebook, opened it to the proper page, and presented it to the physician. Re phe F ton an Lege re oe the page, an slowly r ie group of entries aloud. ‘The entry the first year 1s as follows: — “August 9, 1865. Jessie, ha, ha? Jessie !!? And the nexe nen it is— “August 9, 1! Your Jessie stil lives !" And the next— “August 9, 1867, She is in good hands |”? And the next— “August 9, 1858, And the next— “August 0, 1859, And the next— “August 9, 1860, And the next— “August 9, 1861, And the next— “AUgUBE 9, 1862.

This is the 9th of August, 868 |"? “T see,” said Dr, Hutton, “And this is the secret of your terrtbie excitement! You are expecting to receive to-day another of these strange messages |" There was a brief silence. Mrs. Preole’s hand fut- tered in its task, and her face grew very pale. The banker breathed gaspingly. ‘The physician regaraed them both in friendiy sympathy. “We shall bear of her again to-day," said Mr, Pre- bie; ‘and what will the message be /”” ‘The mother averted her face. Her brave heart fal- tered As that question echoed in her soul, “The writer of these letters 1s unquestionably the abductor of your child!” said Dr. Hatton, “Have Any suspicion as to Identity ‘ot the sitghteat,” said Mr. Prevle. “Wo have Duzzied over the problem for many years, but we cannot guess who he 1s.’? “Think,” said thegdoctor, ‘Fave you no onemy? I do not mean people with whom your are not friendly—every stirring man has pienty of these— bata oon ee enemy ? is there no man whom you knew in the Kast who hated you? No one agninst whom you were cailed upon to testify—no one whom you possibly injured Tho banker shook nis head. He had asked himself all these questions repeatedly. “I have no such enemy, doctor,” he answered with sincerity of voice and manner. “And Mrs. Preplet’ the doctor, tarning to her. “Have you no rejected suitor who might be revengeful enough to desolate your home ¥* “No,” the lady. “I was married carly.

It contained a slip of paper of well-known shapé and appearance, upon which was scrawled & ng Ci line, in an equally well known handwriting, which the banker exhivited to his wife and the physician, ‘This line was as follows:— “august 9, 1868, At six I will call 1” Ashock of wonder and horror shook the threa symultaneously. . cried Mr. Preble, starting to his fee§ “Wul call?’ and glaring wildly around. - “Is coming here?’ cried Mrs. Prebie, also arise “It seems 80,” said Dr. Hutton, his eyes again re« verting to the message. “He will be here at sig o'clock, and see | it is 81x already.’? fi Even ag he spoke the clock on the mantelpiec@, commenced striking the appoin'ed hour, and at thag, instant heavy footsteps resounded in the hall, ape proaching the library. “It ta he,’? cried the doctor, also arising.
