; » > VVVVVVVVY CHAPTER XXVII.—Continued. The hours passed on with terrible slowness to Dick Burt. He dared not go out for fear Henry Loud would send for him, and the time went by—all the evening and then the night—and he aeard nothing. He did not go to bed, but sat in his room, smoking and drinking and swearing, and by morning his brain was not in the clearest state. It was while the running to and fro pf the waiters in the early morning was making the halls noisy that Burt threw himself on his bed, and was just sinking into an uneasy sleep when a rap on his door aroused him. He sprang to the door and took the note the man handed him. Before his blurred eyes the words | swam, but he managed to read them. Only— “Come directly to No. —, Lennox street.” In five minutes more Burt was on he sidewalk, having learned in what | iirection Lennox street lay. It was some distance away, but he | was turning into the street in a short time. Before one of the houses before him ne saw a man standing on the step and | leisurely lighting a cigar, early as it | was. | It was Henry Loud, who turned to- | ward him and said: | “I was expecting you. How do you like amateur detective work?” “That depends upon my Where is he?” “Eager for the fray, are you? He’s yver there,” pointing nearly across the way. *Then let us go.” “Pshaw! I’ve decided it will be easier, every way, to wait for him to! some out to breakfast. That’s only a | lodging house—they don’t furnish | meals there.” “Do you intend to wait until then? {t's not 6 o’clock yet. It'll be hours before he'll be out—two at least.” “Very well; you can leave. Only you needn’t have given me the trou- ble to have paid a boy a quarter for carrying a note to you,” was the re- ply. “All right; I shall stay. But we shall be rather well known if we stand here for half the morning,” irritably said Burt. ‘ “We'll have a cup of coffee in here, and we'll look at the morning papers meanwhile.” And Loud led the way to a small cof- fee room from whose front windows a view of the opposite side of the street tould be had. An hour passed, and the sounds of the day's life became more and more decided. The men had drunk their soffee and were apparently looking at the papers they had before them, when Loud, who had apparently not once glanced over the way, laid down nis paper and rose. He had never seen Vance Rothesay, but had seen a good photograph, and 4snew the original instantly when he saw a young man come from the door he had been watching. “Pay the bill,” he said, without any appearance of hurry, and passed out of the entrance, crossed the street and walked on behind Rothesay, who was going slowly. Burt flung some money on the coun- ter and hurried out, but he kept well behind, only being desirous now to the two men well in sight. His eyes burned luridly; the hand that hung by his side trembled. He saw the beginning of his vengeance, and he gloated upon Rothesay as he looked. There were but few people on the street and Loud judged that this man was not one likely to make a scene. He quickened his footsteps, over- took and touched Rothesay on the shoulder, saying: “I beg your pardon. isn’t it?” ~ Rothesay stopped directly and said, “Yes,” looking suspiciously at the stranger. But there was nothing in Loud’s aspect to arouse him. “Did you wish to see me?” he asked. “{ Have not the honor of knowing you.” “Probably not. I hope you will not make it necessary for me to summon one of the police when I tell you that { wish you to accompany me. I am investigating the affair of the Caryl murder.” Rothesay’s face grew pale, in spite of himself, as he heard those words, but he said quietly: “I shall make no disturbance. Will you allow me to go back one moment | to my lodging?—with you, of course.” “This is a man of honor,” thought Loud. “I can trust his word.” “Certainly, he said aloud, “if you will give me your promise not to try to escape.” “I promise,” was the answer. And the two hurried back, meeting Burt, who, with a devilish smile, said to Rothesay: “I believe I told you I'd stop your little game. Before your trial is half through Kate Purcell will be my wife.” Rothesay did not speak, but before either of his companions was aware of is intention his arm had shot forward success. Mr. Rothesay, and a swift and furious blow from his PERSIA PC WIVVVVV VV VV VYVYVY VV A Daughter of the Beach Y KMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN AAAAAAAN NX A fist had knocked Burt flat upon the pavement. “I couudn’t-help it,” said Rothesay to the detective. Don’t let that cur come near me again, for I can’t an swer for myself.” Loud, who secretly disliked Burt in- tensely, was not sorry, but he uttered an exclamation of remonstrance, and taking Rothesay’s arm hurried him away just as Burt was picking himself up and a half dozen pepole were be* ginning to gather about the place. “Snother item in the account against this man,” thought Burt, as he brushed his clothes. “I'll see him hang yet.” He leaned about the wall of a house and was so silent that the idlers who had gathered quickly dispersed and Burt remained, watching for Loud’s reappearance. Meanwhile Rothesay had sought his sister’s room, entering with that air of cheerfulness which he made it his duty to wear before her. “T have just met a man with whom I have business,” he said, as Rachel raised her head from the pillow on} which it lay. She had grown thinner and paler within the last few days. The hur- ried journey she had been compelled to take had taxed her strength to the utmost ,and her brother had been fearful she would be entirely pros- trated. She had rallied sormewhat, however, within the last day. | “I may be detained until to-morrow,” went on Vance, “and I came back to tell you. Good bye until then.” He kissed her and quickly went from the rom before her languid voice could ask a question. In the hall he found Loud, and the} two went out togethér. As Rothesay saw Buri again, he said: “I hope I still have some right to be respected, and that I may not have that fellow in my sight.” Loud did not restrain a smile as ne | said: “You need not be thus annoyed,” a1.d | they walked on quickly, leaving Burt, | to whom Loud made a sign to remair | behind. The detective, without appearing to do so, scrutinized Rothesay’s face as minutely as he had ever done any face in his life, and he found that his pre- dilections in favor of his prisoner were confirmed. “Tf he killed Caryl,” be thought, “he did it in some kind of strife. But who is going to prove it? 1 must see that sister of his. I believe she must be connected in some way with this af- fair.” He would try an experiment. they walked he said: “Your sister was with you at that | lodging house?” Rothesay was prepared for that question and took the best means of allaying the unformed suspicion in Loud’s mind. “Yes,” he said unhesitatingly, “she joined me some time ago. Her health has been poor for so long that her whims sometimes make it very awk- | ward for her friends. I’d have given a good round sum if she had not come } on as she did.” “She left her residence in Philadel- phia very peculiarly, did she not?” “I don’t know, but I dare say she did,” replied the young man. “I am sure I don’t know what will become of her if I-am under arrest long.” “Do you mean to say she is of weak mind?” “Not exactly that, but very peculiar. But why are you so interested in my sister?” turning and looking full in the face of the officer. “You are a lawyer, and I need only say that everything remotely bearing on this case is of interest to me,” was the answer; and the subject was dropped. But Rothesay was warned; he knew that his sister was in danger, and he set to work to think how he should warn her. Nothing more was said until Rothe- say was delivered into the custody of the law as more openly personified than by a detective officer. As he en- tered the doors of the prison Loud, be- fore leaving him there, said: “You ought to know that the evi- dence against you is very heavy. I have not been idle since the crime was committed, and everything I have dis- covered matches like the pieces of a puzzle. It’s a hard look for you. Though he had not intended it, there was something like kindness in Loud’s tone as he spoke. “But I am not guilty,” Rothesay for the first time. “I wish you could prove it then!” heartily responded the officer. “Do you believe in my guilt?” “You don’t look like it. I advise you to choose your counsel carefully. Send for some one directly. I will see that a note to some lawyer is taken imme- diately.” Rothesay knew that this was great kindness on the part of Loud. He hesitated a moment, and then said: “I thank you, but I think I will take no counsel. I will attend to my own case as far as possible. 1 am ‘not guilty, and that consciousness may sustain me.” As now said | him. “You must do as you” please, of course. You are wise enough in such matters to know that you stand small chance of acquittal and that you should take every means of defense in your power. Do you still hold to your decision?” “Yes.” “I am sorry.” And thus speaking, Loud left him. Outside the door the detective met Dick Burt, whose face showed only the ugly looks of revenge and hatred. “The bird is caged at last, eh?” said Burt, “and I hope he'll give us no more trouble. Now come and have a good square meal with me, Loud.” And he slapped the officer familiar- ly on the shoulder. Loud drew back quickly, his usually impassive face showing something of the disgust he-felt. “Thanks, no! I have an engage- ment. Good morning.” And ceremoniously lifting his hat, he walked away, thinking. “I'll wash my hands of that fellow, now he’s been all the use he can be. Some of our tools are insufferably nasty, I must say.” Burt glowering after him, muttered: “So you've done all you can with me, have you, my master? Well, I think I am still able to hold my own.” And he went in and had his square meal alone. (To Be Continued.) ALL IN THE COUNT. A Solution of the Problem of the Old: est Inhabitant. One New Yorker thinks he has dis- covered the cause of the remarkable age attained by negroes. These in- stances are far from rare in Dixfe- Jand, and the obituary of more than one colored servant relates that de- ceased often spoke of Lafayette, George Washington and others. It is largely a mattter of arithmetic—bad arithmetic. One of the two.servants in this New Yorker’s family is a colored mammy. The other day she went to her em- ployer and said: “Mars John, what you all goin’ to gib me cn mah buhfday?” “When is your birthday, auntie?” he asked. “Comes on Eastuh Sunday.” “How old will you be?” “Righty. Ah reckon ah be ‘bout eighty.” “Righty!” he exclaimed. “Why, you can’t be more than sixty, as spry as you are.” “Deed, sah, ah’s eighty, sah. Ah | was sixteen w’en Ab’aham Linkum was shot.”—New York Press. In Vain. Dr. Herbert W. Spencer tells the following story of his attempt to cor- ner a Christian Scientist: “Every time we met this Scientist took cccasion to scoff at medical sci- ence and to dwell upon the wonders which could be performed through faith. ‘You are convinced that through faith you can do anything?’ I said to him one day. “Yes, he replied, ‘faith will move mountains.’ “A week later he was in my office with a swollen jaw, due to toothache. ‘What, you here!’ I exclaimed, with feigned astonishment. “Oh, doctor,’ he said, ‘I have suf- fered agony all throught the night. I simply can’t stand this pain any longer.’ “‘Have you tried faith?’ I said to ‘You know you told me the oth- er day that faith could move moun- tains.’ “But this is a cavity, doctor; this is a cavity.’”—New York Times. The Father of All Laws. An Irish porter who sometimes acts as a guide was showing a party of vis- itors over the appellate division of the supreme court. A fine statue of the great Chinese philosopher and sage, Confucius, adorns the front of the building. “Who is represented here?” asked a pretty woman in the party, pointing to the statue, “That, ma&dam,” said the porter- guide, “that is the daddy of all laws, Mr. Confuse-Us.”—New York Press. A Seasonable Retort. Representative Hilborn of Califor- nia, after a vote in the house unseat- ing him, repaired to the cloak room, where he held a levee as his friends crowded in with expressions of sym- pathy and good will. “Well, Hilborn,” said one of them, “you are certain to come back, so you ought not to feel so bad.” “Yes,” said Hilborn, in his dry way, “we all cherish the Christian belief in the resurrection, but I don’t think that it entirely reconciles us to death.”— Century. Devery in His Own Bank. Although former Chief of Police} William F. Devery is credited with having $1,000,000, he has never been | known to give a check and it is not recorded that he ever had a bank ac- count. All his real estate, and he has bought some valuable property in the last few years, was paid for in cash. Some time ago he settled his taxes and he counted out to the clerk several thousand dollars in new $100 bills. His friends say he can lay his hands on more ready cash than any man in New York except Russell Sage. He keeps most of his money in safe de posit vaults——New York Press. : Fame. Henry Irving, the famous actor, whose face has through advertisement and illustration become familiar to many people, was one day at a seaside resort when he noticed a little girl looking at him fixedly. “Well, mj dear,” said he, “do you know who am?” “Yes, sir,” was the shy an- swer. “Well, who am I, then?” “You are one of Beecham’s pills.” And in- deed his face had figured in an adver- tisement of the nostrum.—Philadel- phia Ledger. ‘ Everett, Mass.—I received the sample of Doan’s Pills and they stop- pedall my trouble of pain in the back, from which I have suffered for two years, Iam asole-leather cutter, and being on my feet and lifting heavy | gj dies all day, appreciate the help Doan’s Pills have given me.

An Objection. “No,” said ‘the friend, “I don’t think your new type of American girl will create anything of an artistic stir.” “Why not?” asked the artist, in a tone of indignant disappointment. “Because her legs are not too long nor, her waist too short. In fact, she looks too much like a human being to be, accepted as artistic.”—Washington Star.

The Last Resort. “I am very sorry that none of my prescriptions has relieved your in- somnia,” said the eminent practition- er, “because that makes it necessary for us to try a heroic remedy, but it is one that has never been known to fail.” “What is it, doctor?” sleepless one, eagerly. “Dress yourself up in a policeman’s uniform.”—Judge. asked the Stubborn. A little girl was talking to her rab- bit. 4 “Five times five,” she said. “Six times six, seven times seven.” Be- tween times she shook the rabbit Vio- lently. “Dorothy,” said her mother, “what are you doing to your rabbit?” “Well, papa says,” replied the chila, “that rabbits multiply rapidly, and Bunny won't do it.” IN CONVENTION. Teachers Learn Something Not in the Class Book. A number of young women attend- ing a teachers’ convention in Okla- homa City some time ago learned a valuable lesson in hygiene through a sister teacher who says: “About a year ago I had my first attack of pcor health and it seemed a terrible thing to me for I had always been so well and strong. My stomach distressed me terribly; it seemed like it was raw, especially after breakfast, and it would burn and hurt me so I could not rest. I was soon convinced that it was caused by coffee drinking and at the request of a friend I gave up coffee and began to use Postum Cof- fee. “The change in my condition was something marvelous. I had actually | given up teaching because doctors were unable to help my stomach trou- ble, but since I quit coffee and used Postum my troubles have disappeared and I have gone to teaching again. “Some time ago I attended a con- vention at Oklahoma City and I de- termined to have Postum at my board- ing-house where there were eight oth- er teachers, four of them suffering from coffee sickness. My landlady did not make the Postum right, but I showed her how and we all found it delicious. We all drank it the rest of the time we were there and the young ladies in question felt much better and declared that their heads were much clearer for study and their general health much improved. I have their names if you care for them.” Names furnished by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. PATENTS. List of Patents Issued Last Weck to Northwestern Inventors.

Delays are~- dangerous, you know.” “Yes, I realize that,” he replied, “but I’ve only known you three days and these get-rich-quick schemes always seem to be so risky.”—Chicago Record- Herald. Modern Conveniences. One day my little three-year-old brother was visiting at our neighbor's. He came home very much excited and said: “Mamma, you ought to have a pump like they have at Camery’s. You turn it like a gasoline stove and water comes out like a washing machine.”— Little Chronicle. No Longer a Mystery. “I ha¥e often wondered,” observed the doctor, “at the extraordinary pop- ularity of ‘Dixie.’ People always ap- plaud whenever an orchestra begins to play it. Why is it?” The professor was silent a long time. “Well,” he said at last, “I have sometimes thought it was because ev- erybody liked the tune.”—Chicago Tribune. Feels Younger and Stronger. Festus, Mo., May 4th.—Mr. January S. Lilly, a highly respected old gentle man, aged 76, and whose home is in Festus, says: “For many years I was failing in health. My kidneys were weak and gave me no end of trouble. I had pains in my back and hips so bad that I could not sit up straight without bracing my back, and could not sit only a few minutes in any one posi- tion. “I had to get up during every night very frequently to relieve myself. Bladder inflammation. I have suffer- ed for over five years in this way, always worse at night. “I could get no relief and was get- ting worse till I used Dodd’s Kidney Pills. “After I had used a few boxes of this remedy I felt stronger and better than I have for years and years. My pains all left me and I can rest and sleep. “Every old man or woman who feels as I felt should use Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills and I am sure they will not be disappointed. They brought me out wonderfully.” What the Steamboat Does. One day little Archie, three years of age, saw a railroad for the first time, and did not know. what to make of it.
