A Wonder Story in Which ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON. Ambition, Love and Other Human Passions Are Combined with the Supernatural. SYNOPSIS OF PRECEEDING CHAPTERS. money) genie ihimsatt by means and. selling we meets end lov art namod Kokua, CHAPTER II, Love's Greatest Snerifice, + Kokua said never a word, but she looked at the sea and laughed, “Koluua," said Keawe, “If you say nothing, I will take that for the good Qnawer; so let us be stepping to your father's door.’ She went on ahead of him, etill with- out speech. Now, when they had come to the door, Kiano came out tn his veranda, and oried out, and welcomed Keawe by mame. At thot the girl looked over, for the fame of the great house had eome to her ears, and to be sure it was a great temptation. Keawe had a word with Kiano, her father; and then found the girl alone. “Kokua,” said he, “now you know all, and {f you wish to have seen the last of me, say so at once.” “No,” said Kokua. But this time she @id not laugh, nor did Keawe ask for more. ‘This was the wooing of Keawe; things had gone quickly, but so an arrow goes, ,and the ball of a rifle swifter still, and yet both may strike the target. i They loved each other. That was @nongh. And Keawe rode home in wiid joy, to prepare his beautiful house . . for a bride, ‘Then he went to his bath, and his Chinese servant heard him sing as he @isrobed until, of a sudien, the song ceased. And all night long the China- man heard his master's feet go round and round the balconies without repose, + Now the truth of {t was this: As Koawe undressed for his bath he spled upon his flesh a patch like a patch of lichen on a rock, and it was then that he stopped singing. For he knew the Ukeness of that patch, and he knew that. he had fallen into leprosy. Now, it Is a sad thing for any man to fall into this sickness, And It would be a end thing for any one to leave a ‘house so beautified end eo commodious, and depart from all his friends to the “leper settlement on the north roast of Moloka!, between the mighty cliff and the sea-breakers. ‘This was not the fear that posressed | | ‘Keawe. It was the dread of losing Kokua. ‘Then he remembered the bottle. “There I must go first,"" he thought, ( “and seok Lopaka. For the best hope that I have now is to find that same bottle I was so pleased to be rid of. A @readful thing !s the bottle, and dread- ful is the imp, and it Is a dreadful thing 4o risk the flames of hell. But what sether hope have I to cure my sickness wr to wed Kokus What!” he thought, ‘vould I beard the devil once only to get me a house, and not face him again to win Kokua?” Go he sailed to Honolulu in search of Lopaka, only to find that he had sold + - the’ bottle to a lawyer, who had in turn ad it again. So it as for days; and Keawe went from one to another, finding everywhere new clothes and carriages and fine new houses and men everywhere in great contntment; although, to be eure, when he hinted at his business thelr faces would cloud ove: So it befell at last that he was recom- + mended to a white man in Berltania street. Here was a young man, white as a corpse and black about the eyes, the hair shedding from his head, and such a look In his countenance as @ man may have when he ts waiting for the lows. “Here it is, to be sure,” thought Keawe; and so with this man he noways vellea his errand, “I am oome to buy tthe bottle," sald h At the word the young white man reeled against the wall. “The bottle!” he gasped. ‘To buy the bottle?” “Yes,” said Keawe, “I em come to , buy bottle. What is the price by Bow?" ® “It has dropped @ great deal in value your time, Mr. Keawe,” said the man, stammering, “Well, well, I shall Gave the less to pey for st,” says Keawe. ‘How enuch (74 did it cost you?” ‘The young man wae es wiiite es a ' ita,” waid he. cried Keawe; “bwo cents? “Why, theny-you can only sell it for one, And he who buys tt’— / The words died upon Keawe's tongue. He who bought it could never eell It eugain; the bottle and bottle {np must bide with him until he died, and when fhe died must carry him away. For re- » member the bottle could only be sold for coined rhoney and et @ price lower than the seller had paid for it, And ‘what coined money, thought Keewe, is dese than one cent? ‘The young man of Beritanis street tell Dargain. I Fy mad when I bought it et @hat price. I had embezzled money at my are 1 waa lost, else I must have to sail.” “Poor creature!” said Keawe. ‘You could hesitate with love in front had but one thought, that here he was bound to the bottle imp for time and eternity. “It 1s done now," he thought, “and once more let me take the good along with the evil Bo it befell that ‘he ceturned to Hawall by thé first steamer, and as soon as it could be managed he was wedded to Kokua and carried her up the mountain- side to the Bright House. Now It was so with these two that when they were together Keawo's heart was etilled, but so soon as he was alone he fell into a brooding horror and heard the flames crackle and saw the red fire burn in the bottomless pit. The girl, indeed, had come to him wholly, and her heart leaped in her site at sight of him. Full of song she was, and went to and fro in the Bright Hou: est thing in its three stor: like a ‘bird. , the bright- » carolling coming softly through heard a sound as of @ child sobbing, and there was Kokua rolling het face upon the ‘balcony floor and weeping like the lost. “You do well to keep in the house, Kokua,” the said, ‘and yet I would give the head off my body that you et least might have been happy.” “Happy! she cried. ‘..eawe, when you lived alone in your Bright House you were the word of the island for a ‘happy man; laughter and song were in your mouth, and your face was as bright as the eunrise. Then you wed- ded poor Kokua, and the good God ‘knows what is amis in her, but from that day you have not smiled. Oh!” she cried, ‘what ails me? I thought I was pretty, and I know I loved him. What alls me, that I throw this cloud upon my husband?" a “Poor Kolua!” said Keawe. He cat down by her aide aud sought to take her hand, but that she plucked away. “Poor Kokua!” he aid again. “My poor child, my pretty! And I had thought all this while to spare you! Well, you shall ‘know all. Then, at least, you will pity poor Keawe; then you will understand how much he has loved you in the past, that he dared hell for your posseaston, and how much ‘he loves you st{ll—the poor, condemned one—that he can yet call up @emtie when ‘he beholds you," With that ihe told her all, even trom the beginning. “You have done this for me?" she cried. ‘Ah, well, then what 40 I care?” and she clasped his hands and wept. “Ah, child!” said Keawe, “and yet, when I consider the fire of heil, I care & good deal!" “Never tell m eafd she, “no man can be lost because he loved Jokua, and no other fault, I teil you, Keawe, I shall save you with these hands or per- ish In your company. What! you loved me, and you gave your soul, and you think I vill not die to save you in re- turn?” “Ah, my dear, you might dle a hun- dred times, and what difference would that make?" he cried, “except to leave me lonely till the time comes for my damnation.” “You know nothing,” satd she; "I was educated in @ schoo! tn Honolulu; Tam no common girl, and I tell you I shall save my lover. What is this you say about a cent? But all the world ts not America. In England they have a piece called a farthing, which 1s about helf a cent. Ah, sorrow!" she cried, ‘that Makes it scarcely better, for the buyer nrust be lost, and we shall find none so brave as my Keawe! But, then, there ia, France; they have a email coin there which they call a centime, and these go five to a cent or thereabouts. Let us gp to the French islands—to Tahiti—and there secure these centimes. There wo have four centimes, three gentimes, two centimes, one centime; four possible sales to come and go on, and two of us to push the bargain. Come, my Keawe, kiss me and banish care. Kokua will defend you," "Gift of God,” he cried, “I cannot think that God will punish me for de- siring qught @o good! Be it as you will, then; take me where you please; I put and my salvation in your (To be Continued.)

T ts known wherever there is a clyil- | {ged woman that Mrs, Langtry 1s to- day as beautiful in face and as fault- less in figure as when, twenty years ago, England's artists declared tho so-called Jersey Lily the most perfect embodiment of physical loveliness of the Nineteenth Century. Mrs. Langtry had Nature—which was especially lavish to her—to thank for beauty. She has Mrs. Langtry to’ thank for the perfection of her truly marvellous and girlish figure, and for her classic face, free from a Mne of care or age, after a life of excitement, anxiety and ‘hard work. The other day I sathwith Mrs, Lang- try In a woman's holy of holies, her dressing room at her ‘hotel, and saw her make her morning toilet. It was a simple preparation far a long day of work and one heartlly to he commended. 1am going to tell Evening World read- ers Mrs, Laingtry's systen for keeping young and beautiful, I know some of my readers will say, “Oh, of course, why not? Every woman can keep her looks for all time if she can afford to live in luxury, have malds to walt on on her, employ massage operators and physical culturists, To forever talc of Mrs, Langtry'’s youth Is only am frritation to other women. who hayo to live every day Mves on small incomes with thousands of cares and all sorts of drudgery and money to spend on luxuries. But just walt one moment, my dear firlends, not so fast, ploase. We don't any one of us work harder than the woman I am writing about. We most of us permit ourselves greater self indulgences in many ways. And, Oh! that I should lve to confess {t, we every one of us use more cos- metics than Mrs, Langtry does off the stage, if we use any at all, for she em- ploys none except the merest fluff of baby powder. Mra. Langtry believe in physical culture, but as she says: I just see each day that I am not losing my supplo- to devote to any one gystem. hess by doing a few movements, “If I find that I do these exercises wi Then I find out what it is, “It may be that I have not taken sufficient general exercise; or I may not be eating theproper food; or I may, be eating too much, “Whatever the cause, a little concentrated thought will surely discover it and a little good sense and will power will show me the way to rectify It. “You cannot expect to maintain a youthful figure If you do notmaintain the and the elasticity of o sixteen-year-old, 8 I take morning and night, suppleness, the pliability “These are the exerc’ rectly."

VERTIGAL TRIMMING is THE NOVELTY IN THE SEASON’S DAINTIEST LINGBRIGB. —— RETTY, dainty, ribbon-trimmed, is the lingerle of sheer muslin and cambric which fills the windows hops on Broadway and Sixth avenue these January di For January, strangely enough, ts the month of lingerie disp! and women, shivering in furs and heavy wraps be- fore shop windows gay with ribbon- decked underwear, are tempted perhaps the more because of the Incongrult: the garments and the wintry season to enter and spend. There are handmade sets made by the sim fingers of poor Frenchwomen, who work into wonderful creations of lace and muslin the beauty that fs not in thelr Ives, and simpler machine-made garments, lacking, perhaps, the shber daintinegs of the more expensive un- derwear, but producing equally good effects, The marked feature of all lingerio this season 1s the complete triumph of the vertical style of trimming. A few years ago muslin garments were trim- med practically just alike, The round \bands of lace or embroidery were every- where, Ww, though there are stl chemises and petticoats witich the old-time horl- zontal bands, the most accepted style for dainty und ear is the flounce formed by joined vertical strips of Insertion with Inlet fulness of muslin edged with lace, Often the elab- orate flounce has a heading of @ broai band of lace or embroidery insertion through which a band of satin ribbon in pale pastel tints of blue rose or maize is drawn and knotted, silghtly to one side above the knee. Corset covers are fairly puzzling with thelr intricate pin-tucks and insertions. The most expensive of thease garments 48 well as the more elaborate cherises, are made with shoulder stri of lace or else of satin ribbon. T he newest French corset cover no longer hi buttons, but instead shows a row buttonholes on elther side through colored @atin ribbons are draws tled, Another novel feature of these vers ia that they have no gathered fulness about the waist, but are shaped to the straight-front corset, In wig dresses the chief change 1s in the sleeves, Which are now narrow at the of ray pint Pett Parie.
