You were bound to me by no ties. Of course you saw my plan?" “I supposed Your Excellency meant to keep the money and throw me over.” “Not altogether,” he sa'd. “Of course I was bound’ to have the money. But it was the other thing, you know. As far as the money ‘went, I would have taken care you came to no harm.” “What was it, then? “I thought you upderstood all along,” he said, with some surprise. “I euw you were «ny rival with Christina, and my game wes to drive you out of the country by making the place too hot for you." “Sho told me you didn't suspect about mo and her till quite the end.” “Did she?" he answered, with a smile; “I must be getting clever to deceive two such wide-awake young people.

I hope you may grieve as short a tims as she will.” - In my inmost heart I knew it was trai I haw staked everything, not for a woman's love, but for the whim of a girt. For a moment it was too hard for me, and I bowel my head on the table by me and hid my face. ‘Then he came and put his hand on mine, and eal “Yes, Martin; young and old, we are all alike: not worth quarvelling for. But nature's too strong. ‘May I see her before I got I asked. “Yea,” he satd. “Alone?” Yes," he sald once more, “Go now—if she can see you.” Tewent up and cautiously opened the door. The Signorina was lying on the bed, with a shawl over her. She seemed to be asleep. I bent over her and kissed her. She opened her eyes, and satd, in a weary voice: “Is it you, Jack’ “Yes, my darling,” sald I. “I am going. I must go or die; and whether I go’or dio, I must be alone.” ‘My poor Jack!’ ehe said; '“tt was no use, dear. It is no use to fight against him." “You Jove me?" I orled tn. pain. ee she sald; “‘but I'am very tired; and he will be good me.” Here was her strange subjestion, to that influence eguin. She was strangely quiet, even apathetic, As I knelt down ly her she raised herself, and took my face between her bands end Kissed me, not passionately, but tenderly. Without another word I went from her, with the bitter knowledge that my great grief found but a pale reftection {1 her heart. Arrived at the boat, I got in mechanically and made al preparations for tho start. “I am ready to go,” I said to the President. “Come, then,” he replied. “Here, take these, you may want them,” and he thrust a bundle of notes into my hand ‘ome of my own from the bank, I afterward discovered). Then the President took my hand. “Good-by, Jack Martin, and good luck. Some day we may meet again, Just now-there'w no room for us both here. You bear na malice?" “No, sir," said I. "A fair fight, and you've won." As I was pushing off, he added “When you arrive, send me word." I nodded sflently, “Good-by, and good juck,"* he sat again. I turned tho boat's head out to sea, and went forth on my lonely way into the night. I thought the episode at an end. But more—much more— was to come. (To Be Concluded.) MEASURING PERSPIRATION.

FEW days ago a gentleman of wealth and culture appeared in a Harlem A Court as chief prosecutor of his seventecn-year-old son, charging him with burglary and committing his boy to the ordinary processes of the law. Those who know the tuost about the environment of the every-day child | offender, those who have studied the mirentage, the home environment of the juvenile delinquent, have the most charity, tho most sy:paths for these viotl of degradation and povecty—the Iittie children of vice and misery who start life in a current of wretchedness and doprivation, that naturally carries them swiftly toward the broad ways that lead to the courts, | It is sad enough to ha t Ay that there Is nothing surprising In the aver- age case of the child offender, The natura! explanation ts the one we offer in ordinary cases- heritance, the child's parentage, his home, his surroundings But in the cuse of Harod] Snyder we have a persistent child offender whose | parentage Is, {rom every point of view, above the average in intelligence, wealth, | education and refinement.

I wish I could think the answer to the child-criminal problem lies in the so- called child reformatories. But I cannot. I know something of children. I love them and my heart is sore over the fate of the child ever so rightfully convicted of a crime. ‘The con- tagion of example has been sufficiently demonstrated ‘in the hideous waves of crime which follow #ome one great atrocity.
