The junior member of a private firm of detectives in New York becomes interested in a deserted house, opposite which he hap- pens to take a room. While watching it during a convalescence from illness, the biinds of one of the windows are opened suddenly, disclosing the figure of a small man, who waves his hand and disappears. Three days later the detective receives a mysterious letter, appointing an hour to call. He looks across at the deserted house, shading his eyes with the letter. The figure reappears and repeats its signal. That even- ing the detective arms himself, pushes open the iron gate cf the deserted house and en- ters a dark passcgeway. He is ushered ito a lighted room by the same strange figure. Two men and a handsome woman in evening dress reccive him, all masked. He has been mistaken for an expected mes- senger. He pretends that it has not been safe to bring certain papers, and is com- missioned to visit the town of P—— next day. As he is about to leave, a young girl arrives with a warning. The masked lady fires at the detective. He runs down stairs and es- capes by the rear door. PART Ill. I found that I had gained the yard, or small court, which properly belongs to every New York house. Inclosed as it was on three sides with its high, smooth | palings, and on the fourth by the house from which I had but just escaped, it seemed at first glance as neat a trap as a man could well wish himself well out of. I stopped for a moment to listen for any sign from my pursuers, but all lay still and dark behind me. They would, I thought, scarcely venture from a house which was supposed to be unoccupied, Into a place where so many windows could look down upon them. I remembered that the house stood not many numbers from the street corner, and that the avenue upon that side had no buildings to face it. The row of “yards” lay inclosed only by their white palings. Ar escape, therefore, meant no more, after all, than the scaling of some ten or a dozen of these fencings, and my agsailants naturally would consider that I could easily accomplish this, not knowing how my strength was already wasted. I crouched, meanwhile, to rest in the deep shadow cast by the house, be- ing invisible from any of the indows, unless a light were held. This I kne they would not dare to do any more thai they would engage in a struggle to bring me forcibly back, since by so doing they must inevitably attract notice to them- selves I do not know how long I lay crouching there. The summer air that night had an evil chill in it which crept gradually into my bones. A kind of apathy came over me which made me oblivious to the surround- ing strangeness. For the moment the twinkling lights in the houses about, the sof: sounds of -children’s voices and the chattering tongues of the servants, borne above the dull roar of the streets, had little meaning for me. The danger I had passed through was forgotten; to the danger I was still in I was oblivious. I was awakened to it by the sound of a window being slowly and carefully raised somewhere above my head. Shifting slight- ly my position, 3o that I could look up and still remain unseen, I saw Jackson peering cautiously down into the shadow. He drew in his head, and again looked out, apparently but half satisfied vith the poor opportunity his position afforded him. Some one inside whispered an inaudible direction to him, and the window was low- ered. No doubt he was preparing to come down. I got to my feet, therefore, and felt my way along the wall until my hand came in contact with the paling. It was covered in the corner nearest the avenue with a straggling, but long-limbed creeper of some sort, which clung partly to the brick wall of the house itself and partly to the wood. It was but a poor support, but by grasping with my hands the top of it, I was about to let myself down into the next yard, when a sound of voices whispering together some- where near arrested my attention. A little above me was the last of the row of three windows in the second story of the house with green blinds. By getting my feet upon the top of the fence and standing upright I d see that the glass was lowered m the top. The blinds inside were closed, so that the room beyond was invisible. I had not a moment to decide uvon which course I should pursue, for below me I 1 coming along the pa make exploration of the yard. clinging lightly to the vine, I stretched out my foot until it touched the stone coping of the window.

Then, after apparently decisive dir the party seemed preparing to separate. eculd hear nothing more of the girl who had saved my life. Her voice had not joined in the colloquy, and I decided that she had not been present while it was in progress, and that probably she had left the house as quietly she had come. There seemed nothing farther to be gained by remaining in my present position. I let myself back, therefore, to my former place upon the top of the paling and from there laboriously made my way, with what aid I could find, from one yard to another until once more I found myself upon the gtreet. eping plant, which, happily, had | a Weary as I was, I could not yet allow my- self the luxury of rest. As I walked rapid- ly along toward the goal to which I was bound I forced myself to think rapidly over my adventure and some circumstances with which it was connected. The chief of them was my familiarity with madam's wonderful voice. A peculiarity in the hu- man voice was something I had trained myself never to forget. I had no difficulty in recalling the time and place in which a voice singularly like hers, but proceeding apparently from a very different source, had first attracted my attention. Some eighteen months before I had been in England, where I had been so fortunate as to gain the friendship and esteem of a man whose pleasure it was, with the genius which had been given him and the great skill which he had acquired, to unravel the mysteries and to discover the dangers which too often surround our fellow men and women. At the time of my visit he had been engaged in unearthing an atro- cious plot which had threatened the exist- ing government. The scheme had develop- ed almost to the point of the perpetration of a great crime, when my friend’s fore- sight succeeded in capturing and bringing to the bar of justice the ringleaders them- selves. With the usual caution and con- servativeness of the English nation, the whole affair had been handled with ex- treme secrecy and fear of public knowl- edge. Being kept almost entirely out of the newspapers, few people knew anything of it and the details of the case went little further than the court. Through the inter- est of my friend, by whose sagacity the plot had been discovered, I was privileged to witness the trial. One of the prisoners had strangely interested me. He was sin- gularly prepossessing in appearance; a curl- ing mass of dark hair, worn rather long, eyes that burned like veritable fire, the con- tour of his face lengthened by the addition of a well-groomed beard, cut closely in the French fashion, his hands and feet small and finely cared fcr, his figure slender. In fact, the very opposite in personality and tradition to the usually accepted anarchistic idea. Yet devotion to the cause he had adopted seermed the very breath he drew. His voice, high in quality of tone for a man as was hers low for a woman, was, as I re- called it, very strange! milar to that in which madam of th> White Shoulders had but lately addressed me. I distinctly re- membered the particulars of tne trial and its strange outcome. The boy—he seemed scarcely more—had been convicted and sen- tenced to life imprisonment at hard labor, with other members of the gang. They were taken at once to Portsmouth. Upon the third morning after their incarceration his cell, together with those of one or two of the others, was found empty. The bars had been neither filed nor broken, but sin ply unlocked. Suspicion attached itself to one or the jailers, who, in turn, was arrest- ed, tried for conniving at the escape of the several prisoners, found guilty upon strong circumstantial evidence (although stoutly protesting his innocence), and condemned to a long term of imprisonment. The only trace of the convicts w h could be found was the several suits of prison stripes which they had exchanged in a small clothier’s shop in Portsmouth during the night for more modish costumes. There was but one link connecti affair with the one in which I ¥ implicated—a human voice; but from the study I had g | was no slight connection. I had s enough to know that a plot of some ar import was hatching in the F with | Green Blinds, and that my own appearance | upon and disappearance from the scene would by no means retard matters. What- ever the nature of it might be (and I had my own opinion as to this) I had seen and ouse heard enough to know that they could searcely draw back now. There was no time to lose, therefore. My goal was the shop of a man well | knewn to our vrofession—a costumer and | secret dealer tn professional disguises. In half an hour I tssued from it as well set up a clergyman as one could wish to sec. My next move was to trace the girl who had spoiled madam’s aim, and in doing so had undoubtedly saved my life. I had no- ticed, as she stcod under the brilliant glare of light In the drawing room of the House with Green Blinds, that her hat and veil and gown were covered with shining par- ticles of black dust—a kind which collects rarely but during a railway journey. She had entered the room hurried and as though she had been walking rap- Had she come in from any station er than the Grand Central, which was | but a few blocks away, it seemed to me, from her evident desire for haste, that she would scarcely have taken time for walk- ing. I possessed myself, working upon these suppositions, of a time-table, and found that an accemmodation train which had P— (whither madam had commanded me to go the next day) for one of its sta- tions, had arrived but a few minutes before the time of the girl's appearance at the House with Green Blinds. No other for the same sta in six hours. It was now nearly 12 o'clock, | and there remained but one thing to do be- | fore allowing myself a few hours of much- needed rest. This was to have an interview with my chief and explain to him the de- | tails of an affair which it had grown out of my power to control unaided. I found him just leaving his club, and explained the thing to him carefully, together with my own plans and ideas. He was kind enough | to commend them and to allow me to go on as I had intended, leaving practically the entire management in my hands, but giving me the benefit of his advice and placing whatever assistance I desired at my dis- posal. I sent Ray of the department, there- fore, together with another young fellow from our own office, to my rooms to watch whatever might go on in the opposite house and to dog any one who might issue from it, though the latter seemed to me a need- less pre ution. z Before 6 o'clock, having in the meantime been refreshed by a few hours’ sleep at the Hotel B—, I was strolling, without appar- ently other aim than that of waiting for my train, up and down through the waiting reom of the Grand Central station. It was not long before my expectation was fulfill- ed. The girl entered the waiting room and went immediately to the ticket office, where she purchased a ticket to P—. What set me back, however, was the appearance of the person who followed close behind her. I could not have sworn to his identity, but the resemblance was a marked one. The hair, escaping from under his soft hat in wavy richness; the well-groomed appear- ance; the small hands and feet, were all in evidence. The chief difference lay in the fact that now his beard was wdfn rather long and of a jet black color, whereas the man whom I had seen tried and convicted of a grave charge in her majesty’s criminal court some eighteen months before had worn a light brown imperial. ‘This, of course. was a matter easily changed by one who wished to disguise himself, and after I had caught a glimpse of eyes, as they flashed for an instant brilliantly into mine, the resemblance, even the very identity of the man with the one I had seen, was borne more forcefully upon me. And yet, I had seen those eyes, or others like them, more a Through the holes of the satin mask (or was it but a resemblance?) had stioncd me not yet twelve hours before, th> same strange attraction in them held me now as then. He did not seem to be in company with the girl for whom I had waited (for she took no notice of him at all, and, after Luying her ticket, stood quietly waiting for the gate to open), but, as well I could ORCHASES Blood*Nerve Food HYOURSEL , West BEFORE TAKING.

He had pistionea himself near her in a position where everyone who went through the gate must pass under the searching of his eye. I had noticed, how- ever, that he had purchased no ticket, and I perceived that myfonly chance of an in- terview with the girl would be in follow- ing her on board the train.

My only hope, therefore, was that my disguise would pass muster. As it happened, chance favored me in more ways than one. As I was following the other passengers through the door which led to the train I passed very close to the man as he stood carel ly watching. The woman in front of m n old woman,laden with a huge and heavy basket—dropped a small pocket book. He stooped and picked it up, returning it to her courteously, and in so doing I saw that his beard was false. ‘The next moment I was through the gate unchallenged and had assured myself that he remained behind.

A prominent physician at Greenville, Ohio, has just made public a case of fast- ing at Rossville, that county, that eclipses all previous efforts, either voluntary or otherwise, in that line. On November 8 Mrs. Mary Bowman, aged sixty-seven, an- nounced, that she was not going to eat any more food. She took to her bed, and has steadily remained there, never allowing a morsel of food to pass her lips for forty- seven days, breaking the world’s record, it is said, and making her the most interest- ing case known to the medical profession. The lady is a widow. Mrs. Bowman has been residing with her brother, Mr. William Hoblet. The family carried food to Mrs. Bowman, and tried to induce and force her to partake, but she refused. At last all efforts in this dl- rection were abandoned. On the forty-sev- enth day, which was Christmas, the wo- man asked for something to eat, so half a cracker and a little tea were at first allowed the patient, who imbibed both with all ap- parent reiish. Mrs. Bowman had no move- ment of the bowels for forty-five days. The woman was reduced to almost a skeleton, but the doctors who examined her found that her temperature was about normal, as well as her pulse. The cnly case that comes any way near equaling this was that of Dr. Tanner, who, of his own accord, fasted for forty day: ————_-+e+ - —__ NORTH CAROLINA NUGGETS. The Gold Field Produces Two Re- markable “Finds.” A special to the Baltimore American from Richmond, Va., says: Not a little excite- ment was aroused in Salisbury, N. C., to- day by the announcement of the finding at Eldorado, Montgomery county, of a large gold nugget welghing thirty-one pounds and seven ounces avoirdupois, ‘and worth nine or ten thousand dollars. A similar ex- citement was created last summer, when a number of large nuggets were unearthed— two at Crawfords, Stanley county, being ten end a balf and eight and a half pounds, respectively. This last find is one of the largest in history, anc will put many hun- dreds to work looking for the pockets and placers that exist in this section, covering an area of several counties. Motherhood is the acme of wo- mannood. It 9 rounds out a wo- man’s life and completes her most important mission in the world. The bearing and rear- Ying of healthy, happy children is the chief achievement of any woman’s life. Health is an inheritance due to every child and within the reach of every parent to bestow. It is something that costs no money and is more precious than a mountain of diamonds. The child’s health depends almost wholly on the mother’s, not ouly before its birth but afterwards. A sick mother can’t properly care for her child’s health. A sick mother sometimes bears a healthy child, but it isn’t to be expected. the baby will possess the appearane ¢ health, but will lack stamina. May innate weakness will develop in after years. Every woman should be particularly careful of her health dufing the period of gestation—when the child is really a pari of herself. During all this time, she should ke her body strong and pure and she shoui take proper precautions against her time of labor. For this purpose Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is prescribed. It has been used in thousands of cases, with the most gratifying results. It is a tonic to the whole body, but particu- larly to the organs distinctly feminine. It cures all female troubles and pro- motes regularity.
