The capacious rooms are entirely filled with the latest imported and domestic productions —the finest and largest stocks of Ingrains, Tapes- tries, Body Brussels, Mo- quettes, Velvets, French, Bigelow and Scotch Ax- minsters and Wilton Vel- vets in the south. No stock is of higher grade, no prices lower for equal value; it could not be otherwise — the carpet manufacturer has a “price scale,” the big price for the small dealer; the small price for the big dealer. Many designs and col- orings are exclusively our own, that we’re enabled to show only because our output of floor coverings in every and all qualities and kinds is simply enor- mous. The Oriental Rug Stock is not surpassed in the United States—the display is in itself food for the ~ student from the Orient— and equaled by only one firm in New York. No prices are ever lower than ours. 1 @ooe o SOOOSOCOD iG = COSSOSSSEOSOO 66 DOSSSO0® ay 1O® GOGO World's Fair! HIGHEST AWARD.

If two or more complete and absolutely correct solu- tions are received the $250 in gold will be divided equally. 2. Should The Star fail to recelve a solu- tion that is complete and absolutely correct in all its details, the $250 in gold will be al- lotted to the twenty-nine readers whose ex- planation shall come nearest to the true so- lution of the mystery according to their percentage of merit, and the money will be divided as follows: 1st Prize. 2d Prize. td Prize. 4th Prize. . 25 Prizes of $5 each. 20 Prizes; aggregating... ++ $250.00 The first prize of $50 will be paid for the explanation which comes nearest to the true solution; the second prize of $37.50 to the person sending the explanation next nearest, and so on, for the third and fourth prizes. The remaining twenty-five prizes of $5 each will be awarded to the persons sending the twenty-five explanations next nearest to the fourth prize, as the judges may determine their merit. 8. The Star is pre-eminently a family newspaper and its daily installment of a high grade serial story is a feature intended to especially commend it to the home circle. To emphasize—and advertise—the fact that The Star is a newspaper peculiarly suitable for women’s reading, the further condition is made that the $250 in prizes shall be paid only for explanations sent in by women and girls.

It must disclose the mystery and such material facts of the plot revealed in the development of the story as may be deemed necessary by the judges to a clear and full explanation of the mystery. The names and addresses of the winners of the cash prizes will be published in The Star at the earliest date possible after the publication of the final chapter. No condition of subscription to The Even- ing Star is imposed.

Beth Amelia and Mr. Philbrick turned to- ward the doctor, the former with a look of consternation, the latter with an enigma- tical, half quizzical expression, that he promptly modified to indifferent curiosity | when he saw that Amelia, too, was anxious | to observe the effect of this announcement , on the doctor. The latter started forward impulsively, but checked himself at once, | and maintained a fair semblance of com- | pesure. Louise finished reading the note and turn- ed to the boy “Where is she?” she inquired, “the lady mentioned here?” “I dunno,” replied the boy, rather stupidly, “Miss Williams said she'd be up bimeby. ‘The Doctor Read. “It isn't so bad after all,” said Louise, brightly. She addressed herself to the doc- tor. “What isn’t so bad, Miss Drummond?” he asked. “Papa's going away. Go into the dining room with Amelia, Mr. Phiibrick. I've got something very, very important to say to Dr. Williams. “Always your obedient, Miss Drummond,” responded Mr. Philbrick, with an extrava- gant gesture of humility. He stalked to the dining room door, held it open for Amelia to pass, then entered and closed it. “The shortest way, show you papa’s note. ‘The doctor read: “My Dear Daughter: I find that the busi- ness that took me from the house will also take me from town, and I must go in a hur- ry. I may be gone several days, possibly weeks. There is no time to return to say good-bye, but I have managed to provide you with company and proctection during my absence. A lady whom you know well and like, and who is interested in you, has agreed to take up her residence at Fairview until I can send on a housekeeper to take Betsey’s place. There is no doubt that I can do this in short order, as I think I know just where to look for one. Have no anxiety about me, therefore, for I shall return as soon as pos- stble, and until then I am sure that every- thing will go well at home. The lady to whom I refer will doubtless accompany the boy who will return with the horse and car- riage. Your affectionate father, “NATHAN A, DRU I uu suppose the lady is?” asked tely adding: “Oh, I know! other. How nice!’ repeated the doctor du- said Louise, “is to N “Who do 3 Leuise, it must be your My mother?” ven: the boy mentiored Mrs. Williams. Is there any other Williams in Belmont?” “My uncle—" “Where is that boy?” and Louise ran to | the door. The boy was skipping stone: across the Miniski. ‘Here, boy.” she called “who was the lady you called on to bring here?” “Mis’ Williems, I told yer,” he replied; “Mason’s mother there. She'll come ‘bout 4 o'clock.’ “What did I tell you?” cried Loulse. “How hear that youngster call you by me.”” .” said the doctor, frowning, “it’s one of the disadvantages of being a pro- fessional mas in one’s native place. No- bedy allows you any dignity, not even the urchins of the stree' “Oh, well, they never do, you know. Come, let's tell the others about it.” Drummond,” began the doctor, usly, feeling that, shallow as the op- portunity was, there might not be a better } one. “Oh!” exclaimed Louise, “there's a post- script te the letter that you haven't read. I forgot to show it to you.” The doctor, who still held the note, leok- ed at it blankly, and turned the paper over. There, hastily scrawled in pencil, were the word: ‘My best regards to the doctor, and tell him if he can make it convenient to look in on you every day cr su I shall feel un- der obligations to him.” “The obligation shall be on my side,” said the doctor, his face brightening momentar- fly. He was about to begin again, but Louise already had opened the dining room door and was waiting for him to enter. With a sigh the doctor saw that he must postpone his declaration, but he reflected that with his mother in temporary charge of Fairview, and Professor Di mond’s: note making Him an expected caller there, he covJd not well lack fitting opportunity. “The dectcr’s mother Is coming up to stay with us,” said Louise, as she went into the dining room, “and papa’s going t. i a id housekeeper scon - tits gat “How long is the professor to be away?” acked Mr. Philbrick, with just enough show o- interest to be within th a PB in the bounds of po- “There's no telling. least, he says. Let's sit down, or Mr. Phil- brick’s luncheon will spoil." They took chairs at the table, Mr. Phil- brick, by accident or design, taking the place usually occupied by the professor, The doctor noticed this, and though he no longer felt any anxiety as to what might be di covered by Philbrick, he furtively Watched the man all through the meal. He observed a plenty to distress his heart in Phith S assiduous attention to Louise and it may be that his resentment led him to think he saw Philbrick keep his hands unnecessarily below the table level. Perhaps that gentleman's hands were be- having as they would at any other table. but to the doctor they seemed always to be searching for something out of sight. I: Was just as If he believed that the pro- fessor had operated an electrical contrivance m his chair, and he was now trying to rover the mechanism f that's what he’s after,” ‘iams, wilh bitter Seirch will be fruitless. Louise seemed to be somewhat elated by the absence of her father. She chattered about what they would do while M ms was acting as guest and chaper- hope that the how be jong in coming. Amelia quiet, perfunctory assent to all her in’s suggestions when called on to do nd Mr. Pailbrick mad» various absurd sbuegestions rel; ye to for ig the house during Professor Drummond's absence. Louise found his remarks immensaly amus- ing, and now and again she retorted wi sillles that were saucy rather than wit Mr. Philbrick received her shots with be. coming graciousn his eyes testifying more eloquently than his words did to his admiration for his hostess. Dr. Willams tried vainly to shake off the lugubrious discontent that had settled upon him and to appear cheerful. He realiy brightened when Louise rallied him a bit ab-ut being depri of home comforts, and with mocking tenderness assured him that he must make Fairview his home Several days, at ” thought Dr satisfaction, “his and expr keeper might gave a , but sweet at that, and the doctor felt that he would give haif his life to be able to call from her some s'milar expressions in earnest. “I shall take every advantage possible of your hospitality, Miss Drummond,” he fo t said. “I would take you at your word lit- iors if it were not for my professional futic Mr. Philbrick heaved a prodigious sigh. “Professional duties do Interfere with a man’s highest pleasures, and no mistake,” he remarked solemnly. “I tried to induce the doctor to take a day's sport with me, and he declined even that on the score of patients.” “It is a fact,” replied the doctor with freezing dignity, “that my vocation pre- vents me from throwing away time in Idle sport.” “Lucky man!” exclaimed Mr. Philbrick, “but for the life of me T can't see how there can be illness enough in this glorious neighborhood to keep even one physician bus: and I believe there are two, aren't there, doctor?” “Dr. Meadows has retired from active practice,” said the doctor, with his eyes upon his plate. “Think of that!” cried Mr. Philbrick, rap- ping cn the table with his knife, as if to call particular attention to his remarks: “Belmont has actually furnished occupa- tion enough for a physician to enable him to retire from business. Of course, doctor, you have received the mantle of Me: “Let Me See,” Said the Doctor, that fine alliteration, ladies, ntle!” and think of it as re: ing upon the worthy shoulders of Dr. Will- lams. I congratulate you, doctor, and, to continue the alliteration, permit me to hope it may mean many millions to you. that’s what I call a triumph.” Had these gibes been uttered in any other presence than that of Louise and Amelia the dector would have disregarded them. They would have made him smart, to be sure, for he was over sensitive as to his dignity as a professional man, but he would have swallowed them as one of the una- yoidable ills of life. ing short of rank insults, and his anger raged hot within him. Of course he ap- peared to ignore them even now, but pale face and downcast eyes revealed the resentment that he repressed. Amelia re- garded him anxiously, and when Louise laughed merrily and was for continuing’ the visitor's Jocose congratulations in her own Here they were noth- | | dies into this discussion!

It was as she had said. A tiny piece of wood lay under her nail, discoloring it, and the doctor had some difficulty in extracting it. He noted her admirable nerve as he worked, for a sliver in such a place is far from easy to bear, as we all know, but he had no suspicion that Amelia had inflicted the wound purposely to break the cur- rent of conversation. The ruse was entirely effective, and as luncheon was ‘over all left the table. With all his bonhomie and assurance not even Mr. Philbrick could invent a reasonable excuse for remaining longer, and he pre- pared to go, uttering many expressions of his pleasure at the visit, and his hope that he would be allowed to continue the ac- quaintance. Louise laughingly referred him to Mrs. Williams. “She is my guariian now,” she said; “if she says you may call I will promise never to be ‘not at home’ when you come.” “I shall proceed to cultivate Mrs. Wil- liams’ good graces at once,” responded Mr. Philbrick, and he went below to put on his own clothes. While Louise was busying herself about the table Amelia found occasion to speak to the doctor. “You're not going, asked. “Yes,"" he answered, “I have stayed much too long as it is.”” She looked genuinely distressed. “Forgive me,” she faltered, “if I presume too mrch on short acquaintance, but please be_careful.” Dr. Williams opened his eyes a bit. He really did not understand her. “I think I understood,” she continued, hastily, “and I almost wonder how you con- trolled yourself so well. You musn’t let idle talk disturb you. I hardly know what I’m saying. Lou's talk is bright, but her heart is in the right place.” The doctor flushed and looked away. “You won't do anything rash," she replied. “Miss Willis,” he responded at last, “I shall not endure another such scene.

Mr. Philbrick looked sidew: at his com- panion and a broad grin twisted his face in spite of his efforts to repress it. He started to reply, thought better of it, and trudged along silently. They passed over the low hill that rose between Fairview and Bel- mont, and when they came to the branch road where the doctor had left the pro- fessor’s carriage earlier in the day, Dr. Wil- ams suddenly halted. Mr. Philbrick halted, too, and waited with undisguised and ex- pectant curiosity. His perfect tranquility inflamed the doctor more than ever. “Mr. Philbrick,” he began, with shaking voice, “you and T may unfortunately meet again in that house. If you must pick a quarrel with me, do it here.

For a minute or so they fought furiously, and as each knew semething about boxing, the few blows that landed were effective. Once Mr. Phil- brick was forced to his knees, and again the doctor, in his turn, staggered and would have fallen but for coming against a tree.
