i ee }.. CHAPTER VII.—(Continued). “Tell me all about it.” “There is little to tell, A very short time ago I was a very happy girl, one of the happiest, I think, in the whole world, for the man I loved was coming down to see my father, to arrange about our marriage. I had only been at home but a few short hours, but, oh! how impatiently I awaited his coming. You see, I had only met my} father twice, for a few minutes, in ten years, and we had nothing in common; in fact, we practically met as strang- ers.” “And your lover, did he come?” “Ah! I wish I knew, I wish I knew. I found out that my father was a miser, and had a priceless jewel in sion. That night two men d in motor masks entered the My father was knocked in- A heavy rug cottage. sensible and robbed. s thrown over my head, and the arried me many miles away motor car. I was then thrown and I knew no more until I recovered consciousness in a strange house.” “Ah!

When morning came | ed her to send a note to my lover, aid she would take it herself, mea long time, but she brought back bad news.” “And was that?” : over was a fugitive flying My father had denounc- s one of his assailants, and a rrant had been issued for his ar- st. I could not believe it, and begged the woman to get me some further in- formation.” “And did she do so?” “Yes; she would not tell me how she got her news, but she brought me word that my lover was in hiding at Wanstead Flats and wished me to go there to meet him. He said nothing about his innocence, but I never doubt- ed that. Mrs. Bailey found lodgings for me at Forest Gate. While there I thought of my old friend and teacher who lived at Richmond, and who knew my lover. Late at night I paid her a visit, and to my horror she confirmed the news. I was broken-hearted with erief, and I—I half believed. Then Mrs. Bailey brought me information that my lover wished me to meet him at a certain spot in the Woodford road. When I got there I found Mrs. Bailey and a man in a motor car. My lover had gone to Manchester; would I go there and meet him at London Road station?” “And you went?” “Yes; I wished to see him to learn the truth. They drove me to Euston station, and we were barely in time for the train. I gave Mrs. Bailey my purse to purchase my ticket; it con- tained about thirty pounds in notes and gold. When I opened it at Man- chester I found a few coppers.” “Ah! She had robbed you?” “Yes; but, worse than that, my lover did not meet me, and for two days I have been here penniless and friend- less.” “My poor darling, how fortunate I met you! We are two poor, friendless people, and we're just made for com- panions, so I am not going to let you leave me.” “Ah! You are so kind, but I do not know what to do. I feel so helpless.” “Then you'll just remain with me until we can find this lover of yours, and if he has not deceived! you——” “Oh! I can trust him; I do not think he is guilty. I have been reasoning things out lately, and it appears to who have been deceived by an un- me that he has enemies, and it is I scrupulous gang.” “Faith, then we'll just have to wait, and time will show—aw, yis, sure. Why, what is it, darling? Why do you look at me like that?” “It was the expression you used just now, ‘Aw, yis, sure. It reminded me of a man who would be my friend if I could only find him.” “And what is his name?” “Mr, Brawn.” “What! Joe Brawn of Ballarat?” CHAPTER VIII. Judith Ballara sprang to her feet; the color had receded from her face, leaving behind a look of haunting ter- ror, “Joe Brawn in England! What do you know of him? Tell me, tell me!” “Why are you so strange? Do you know him?” “Yes, yes; go on, tell me?” “T saw him in London on the same day as he sold my father the ‘Empire’s Dream.’” “The ‘Empire’s Dream!’” “Yes, it is a priceless diamond. I have never seen. it, because——” “ah! Yes, you need not go on. It was stolen, and your lover is accused of the theft. Never was there so ill- fated a jewel; it brings trouble and miséry to all who handle it. Oh! I could tell you the history of the ‘Em- pire’s Dream;’ it leaves a trail of blood behind it—a useless bauble that | The Empire’s Dream Amazing Adventures of a Gang of Thieves Who Stole a World-Famous Dia- ‘ mond of Fabulous Wealth. 1, Si REY TLAPGE LED STMPTSALGPCING CAMA: T. cca fhneee bestrews every path with unhappiness and sordid greed; it deals death and muréer, kills friendship, and incites all the degrading passions of greed and covetousness.

It—— Who's there?” She broke off suddenly as some one knocked at the door. “If you please, a gentleman asked me to bring his card up to you, and can you see him for a few moments?” “T can see no one this evening.” “He was very insistant, madam, and said his business was*of the high- est importance.” “Yes, they all do, What is his name? —Mr. Twist—I don’t know the gentle. man.” “Something about an accident, I think he said. madam.” “Oh! I suppose it is one of these stupid police officials. Very well, I will see him for a moment. Now, you sit there, dear, in your big arm-chair, and he can’t see you. I will get rid of him in a minute.” She pulled the chair a little more round the fireplace and undid another fold of the screen, and then Percy Twist was announced. “Ah! You have come about the ac- cident, I presume? Well, I am glad to say that the poor dear girl is not hurt, and is now resting.” Twist looked at Judith Ballara with an amused smile upon his face, and stroked his moustache for a mo- ment before speaking. “Iam sorry, but I am afraid the ac- cident was only an excuse of mine to obtain an interview.” “What do you mean?” “I mean that I wished to speak to you of a more personal matter.” “The time is most inopportune, and your method is impertinent. I will ask you to leave sir.” “Please do not do anything that you may regret. I have come here as your friend, and I should like to leave as your friend, Miss Brawn.” “Sir!” “Oh! that look of haughty disdain may do all very well for the stage, but I’m sorry you think it fit to try upon me. As I said before, I have come here as your friend, and it may be in my power to do you a great service. I saw your performance at the Hippo- drome this evening, and as soon as you stepped upon the stage I was haunted by the thought that I had seen you before.” “It was some time before I could strike upon the right trail, and, strange to say, your stage name gave it to me—Ballara; add a single letter and there stands revealed, Audrey, daugh- ter of Joe Brawn of Ballarat.” “And if I grant that your deduction | is correct, may I inquire how the fact interests you?” “In coming here this evening I am merely actuated by purely friendly motives. Do you know that your fath- er is in England?” “I have lately become aware of the fact.” “A short time ago I was in Ballarat, and spent a few weeks at the old tav- ern, and had many opportunities for conversation with your father. We also came to England in the same ship. Do you know that he is travel- ing the world over to find you?” “It is quite possible, but that is a matter entirely between my father and myself. If you have nothing further to tell me——” “T have told you nothing yet, but please have patience. Do you not wonder how I recognized you _ this evening, although I have never seen you before?” “I am not in the least interested.” “But possibly you will be. It was at the end of your Spanish dance, when you posed with your face over your shoulder and the rose between your lips. I then remembered a photograph “A photograph! Where did you see it? There is only one in the world, and that——” “And that is in the possession of— Jasper Garlick.” “Jasper Garlick! Where is he?” “Ah! I though I would interest you; yes, I know Jasper Garlick—and I also know that Joe Brawn has_ entered upon an unceasing quest to find him, and is filled with the determination to wreak his vengeance both upon him and you, unless——” “Yes—unless——” “Unless you are Jasper wife.” “His wife! No, no; thank heaven, I escaped that.. I committed an appall- ing error in leaving Ballarat under. his blandishments, but I can never be too thankful that I found out my mistake in time. I was young and full of the foolishness of youth when he first crossed my path; I listened to his sweet honeyed words of love, and like a child I believed them. I thought him noble, chivalrous, grand. I exalted him to a height so far above ordinary men that I felt mean and unworthy to be singled out as his love; my whole soul was wrapped up in that one man, and so enthralled was I by his presence and the sound of his voice that I for- got the world, my father’s love, the ties of home—everything; and at the touch of his hand I forsook them all.” “And then——” You know him? Garlick’s DEFECTIVE PAGE traveled direct to Sydney, and then I found that the man I honored above all men, the man I loved with a child- ish faith, this noble, chivalrous man, was nothing more than a scheming scoundrel, a crafty adventurer who had set his desire upon a bauble——” “The ‘Empire’s Dream?’ ” “Yes, the ‘Empire’s Fream,’ the jew- el of misery, the dazzling gem of dis- aster. I had not brought it with me, and then the cloven foot peeped out from under the robe of glory in which I had enveloped my lover. ‘We had a bitter quarrel, and he left me either to live or starve, he did not care which. I feared my father’s anger too much to go back to him, and I have never seen Jasper Garlick since.” “Do you fear to meet your father now?” “No, I do not think I do; and had I not been such a child at the time I would have gone back to him. Now that I am older I can see him through the past years, a big, rough man, fierce and hasty tempered, but with a great, simple heart overflowing with love and sympathy. No, I should not fear to meet him now.” “But should he come across Jasper Garlick?” “I have no pity for Jasper Garlick, but for my father’s sake I should be sorry if they met.” “You mean——” “I mean that if my father was seized with one of his fits of fury he would break Jasper Garlick across his knee without the slightest remorse. But where is Garlick now?” “That was my object in coming here this evening; I thought it might interest you to know. Would you be surprised to hear that Jasper Garlick is not his right name?” “No; nothing would surprise me.” “He assumed that name when he went to Australia to try to obtain possession of the ‘Empire’s Dream.’ He worked his scheme through you, and, as you know, it failed.” “Yes, it failed.” “But he did not give up his idea of obtaining possession of the jewel. He came to England, and after some years sent an agent back to Ballarat to learn what hé could. Then came the news that Joe Brawn was coming across to sell the diamond. He was shadowed from Australia, and followed about until it was ascertained that the ‘Em-/ pire’s Dream’ had been bought by a man named Brent.” “Yes, yes; go on.” “The rest was easy. Brent was an old man living in a quiet village. His; cottage was entered the same evening, . | and the ‘Empire’s Dream’ was stolen.” “And his name—his name?” “He is’ known in England as——” “Why do you pause? Go on.” “Godfrey West.” As the words fell loudly from his lips there was a cry from behind the screen, and a pale, white-robed figure stood before them. “It—it is—not true.” “Mary Brent!” “It is—a—lie!” She stretched out her hands appeal- ingly to Judith Ballara, and then, with a moan of anguish, fell senseless at her feet. “My poor darling! Who is she?” “She is Mary Brent, the girl Godfrey West wants to marry, and whose fath- er he robbed of the ‘Empire’s Dream.’ ” “Go—go now and leave us. I would not have had this happen for anything. Please go at once.” “One word before I leave. If it is your desire to prevent bloodshed, keep Godfrey West and Joe Brawn apart.” Twist. took his leave, and Judith bent over the prostrate form of Mary Brent and applied such restoratives as she had. In a few minutes Mary open: ed her eyes. “It is not true?” “No, darling, of course not. But let me lift you into my bedroom. O1 course it is not true.” “Who was he, and how did he know so much of—of Jasper Garlick and the robbery of the diamond?” (To Be Continued.) Signing Pledge Illegal. The clergyman recorded complacent. ly the twenty-seventh New Year pledge-taking. “Excellent work. A “glorious day,” he said. “And yet do you know that there was once a time when all this sort of thing was criminal?” “No!” “Yes. It was in India, at the begin- ning of the English occupation. Med: ical men believed in those days that a white man could not live in India without drinking. They thought he needed a half pint of whisky, or its equivalent, every day. And they in- sisted on his taking it. “Temperance societies, total abstin- ence and the signing of the pledge were things forbidden in India. Such things were thought injurious to the white man’s health out there. Hence to go in for them was to be arrested, fined. imprisoned, banished. “But to-day in India total abstinence is encouraged, for it has been found that the abstainer stands the heat far better than does the man who drinks.” —Philadelphia Bulletin. ‘Woman Policeman Watches Excursion- ists.

Nq matter how small the vessel nor how impecunious may: be the skipper, there is always a “boiled” shirt and a clean collar laid carefully away to be worn when the craft enters port. At sea the captain may be very rough in his attire, but the approach to land finds him combing his hair and crop- ping his whiskers, if he has any, and the collar is donned, also a red neck- tie, which usually is flamboyant red. Even the poorest men who bring ves- sels to Boston to secure loads of lum- ber for South American ports dress as neatly as possible when the customs boarding officer is expected to come alongside to inspect the ship’s papers. And the mates slick up, too, when their floating home is nearing port, so that the “old man,” as the captain is familiarly termed behind his back, may not carry off all the honors of the occasion.

It was all over her body but the worst was on her face and hands. She cried and scratched all the time and could not sleep night or day from the scratch- ing. I had her under the doctor's care for a year and a half and he seemed to do her no good. I took her to the best doctor in the city and he said that she would have the sores until she was six years old.

Elevators In Public Buildings Run Mainly for Their Convenience— Amusing Point in Contest for Senate Reading Clerk. “There are many wrinkles in offi- cial life in’ Washington which afford those who are acquainted with them a certain amount of amusement,” said a local newspaper correspondent, “and one of the funniest, from the standpoint of those not interested di- rectly, has been the contest for the selection of the reading clerk to the senate. “That the official whose duty it is to decide the question as to the for- tunate man who would pull down the plum, after listening to the varying voices of the 80 contestants, was obliged to take a rest for a few days to recover his normal condition can be readily understood by all who are familiar with such things at the capitol. “But that he should have found three members of the nation’s high- est law-making body who were re- quested to act as a committee to de- termine the merits of the respective contestants, who had not made a rec- ommendation for the vacancy in ques- tion, is as astonishing as it is un- usual in that not a single senator could be found who had not made a recommendation. “As a rule, when a vacancy oc- curs at either end of the capitol, the difficulty senators and representatives have is in deciding which one of the dozens of applicants shall be shown the preference of a recommendation. This selecting committee of three will go down in capitol history as unique. “Official authority in the depart- ments is thrust upon one at every angle of the corridors and rooms of these big buildings and forms bar- riers over which both the initiated and the unwary stumble, but it is sel- dom that it penetrates into the ele- vators. “J happened in one of the elevators of one of the larger department build- ings the other day. It was at an hour when the car was crowded with clerks going to work. After the door had been shut and the car had ascend- ed almost to the first floor there came a violent ring at the bell and the conductor, reversing the lever, dropped back like a shot to the ground floor, took in another passenger and jumped the car to the fifth floor, where the late comer alighted. Then the car slowly descended, floor by floor, to permit the wrathful clerks to get out. “The hurry-up passenger happened to be one of a half-dozen or so_ bu- reau officers, whose official authority gives them the right to make a runaway trip with any elevator they happen to strike, irrespective of the corridor destinations of the rest of the passengers, but the scene and sensations of being whisked past your floor, despite your calls to the elevator man, were more aggravating than amusing. Some bureau officers, however, show the other passengers in a car the courtesy of allowing it to stop from floor to floor; otkers don’t.” Senate “Barkers.” Guides who pilot strangers through the capitol have discovered a seat strip in the senate which they feature with all the melliferous eloquence of a midway or pike “barker.” “The first seat on the minority side,” they declare with a flourish, “is that of Senator Jeff |Davis, who broke all precedents by making a speech in the beginning of his term, saying he would not feed from the hands of a corporation. In the next 5) seat you will observe ‘fiddling Pob’ Taylor, whose tuneful airs carried him to fame and high office. In the next seat will be found William James Bryan, the youngest member the sen- ate has ever had; and next to him you will recognize the oldest senator, Wil- liam Pinckney White of Maryland. Immediately in the next cage, as it were, you will observe Senator Bank- head of Alabama, who ran for the house, but, strangely enough, defeated for that office, found himself shunted into the senate by appointment as the result of the unexpected death of Senator Morgan. Immediately be- yond him you will see Senator Gore of Oklahoma, the only blind senator} the country has known, and last, but not least, you will note Senator Owen, who has Indian blood in his veins.’’ Turkish Minister’s Daughter.

A well known captain of one of the Hamburg-American liners, while on a recent visit to New York, was talking of pride of birth, and he told this anec- dote of a certain brother captain in transatlantic service: “A German passenger once fell from the deck of his ship into the sea, and a sailor, seeing him disappear with a splash, cried: ‘Man overboard!!’ “What do you mean with your ‘Man overboard?’ shouted the captain, who heard the call. ‘Graf Herman von Finkinstein, Duke of Suabia and Prince of the Holy Roman Empire, is over- board.’” Conflicting Evidence. The venerable and learned Justice John M. Harlan during a game of golf at Chevy Chase explained the intrica- cies of evidence to a young man. “Usually, in conflicting evidence,” he said, “one statement is far more probable than the other, so that we can decide easily which to believe. “It is like the boy and the house hunter. “A house hunter, getting off a train at a suburban station, said to a boy: “‘My lad, I am looking for Mr. Smithson’s new block of semi-detached cottages. How far are they from here?’ “‘*About twenty minutes walk,’ the boy replied. “Twenty minutes? exclaimed the house hunter. ‘Nonsense! The adver- tisement says five.’ “Well, said the boy, ‘you can be- lieve me or you can believe the adver- tisement; but I ain’t tryin’ to make a sale.’” COFFEE DRINKING A Doctor Says it Weakens the Heart. “In my opinion,” says a well known German physician, “no one can truth- fully say that coffee agrees with him, as it has long since been proven that caffeine, contained in coffee, is an in- jurious, poisonous substance which weakens and degenerates the heart muscles. “For this reason the regular use of coffee, soon or late, causes a condition of undernourishment, which leads to various kinds of organic disease. “Convinced of this fact, I have often sought for some healthful beverage to use instead of coffee. At last I found the thing desired in Postum. Having had occasion to forbid people using coffee, whose hearts were affected, I have recommended Postum as a bev- erage, since it is free from all injuri- ous or exciting substances. I know this from results in my own family, and among patients. “Hundreds of persons who now. use Postum in place of coffee, are greatly benefited thereby.” “‘There’s a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle be a loving sire than a sighing lover.”| Creek, Mich.
