He- becea rejoiced in the troubles of Kate Harston, for, since Ezra's lovemaking began, she ‘had jealously feared that) Kate might take from her all hope of winning Eara's re- ard. e john Girdlestone had taken Kate to a place in Hampshire, “You shall leave this place when you uave reconcen your. lans ¥ have made for you,” he said. Sreabsnitanal rlever loave it,” Kate sald, with a sigh. Re becca was sent down to guard and cayé for her. ‘ory Girdlestone’s Hampshire place was known as the a beg It had long been untenanted, ‘but, he told her, {t had ont ‘the home of profilgate monks who slew the only virtu- ous member of this body. This monk's ghost haunted ad place, he safd significantly, as they were driving to the Pri- station. eo veine ree a deeply rutted lane, they came to a mee etone wall which extended for 2 couple of hundred yar It had a crumbling, decaying appearance, as far as oula| te: judged in the uncertain light. This wall was pena ve aingle fron gate flanked by two high pillars, each o fone: was surrounded by some weather-beaten heraldic de es Passing ‘through, they turned up @ winding avenue, ms Hnes of trees on either side, which shot thelr prance! 62 thickly above them that they might have coon & EE through some sombre tunnel. This avenue terminated in an open space, in the midst of which towered a great, irregu: Jar, whitewashed building, which was the old priory. ‘A hag welcomed them to @ pare refectory where @ fire purned feebly, and Kate was given a chamber ermoetr yare. In the morning she explored the place and foun it ralled on every side. At the gate sat a man armed wit! is stick, He warned her pack when she would pass torus She had hoped to be able to write to Tom, but neither t! hag nor the men at the gate would give her paper or take iy. fa message. The days passed miserab) On Saturday Ezra appeared. He walked out with his told him how the business fared. ‘. Sa think, Ezri he said, clutching his son’s arm, as a very foolish saying about ‘murder will out?” I abel Pilkington, the detective, who was a member ot bur church when I used to worship at Durham street, speak- ing on thie subject: ‘He said that it was his opinion chat people are being continually made away with, and thet not rove than one in ten is ever accounted for. Nine chances to one, Ezra, and then those which are found out are very rulgar affairs. If a man of Intellect gave his mind to ie there would be little chance of detection. ‘How very col it isl’ ae would you do it?' Bara asked, in a hoarse “SNo violence, I hope." Rey See to that, I have other plans in my head, however, which may be tried fir I think | that I see one way out of it which would simplify matters.’ a If there {s no alternative, I have @ man who fs ripe any job of the sort. i is that?” ee nia ate can hit a good, downright plow, as I can ‘ny cost. His name {s Burt. ‘He is the man who tee hnesd upen in Africa. I met him in London the ne lay, and spotted him at once, He is half-starved, poor geri i tind as desperate as a man could be. He is just in the key for any business of the sort. I've got the whip-hand of him now, and he knows !t, so that I could put him up ¢o any- thing. I belleve that such a job would be a positive pleasure to him, for the fellow 1s more like a wild beast shan a man. ‘Gad, sad!" Girdlestone exclaimed, “If a man once falls away, what is there to separate him from the beasts? How ind this man?" orice to me. Put ‘Send a doctor;’ that ma So's ral as ing else, and will sound well at the post-office. I'll aee So ee ome down by the next train. You'd best meet him ‘at the station, for the chances are that he will be drunk. “Bring him down," raid Girdlestone. ‘You must be here yourself." “@urely you can do without me’ “No, no. We must fall or stand together.” ‘That 1s true enough,” Hzra said, walking on. ‘There is no reason why I should pity her. I've put my hand to the plough, and I shall go on, TI seem to be getting into your infcrnal knack of Soripture quoting.” “There 1s a brave, good lad!” cried the fathe! not do to draw back now. ‘The old man harped on death in all his talks with Kate. He gave her a bottle of polson—to kill pugs which swarmed In the old place, he sald. He told her tales of the ghostly monk, and one night when she thought every one asleep and tried to escape from the house a cowled ficure ap- proached her down the dimly lit hajl. She shrieked in fear and fainted, Far into the next day she awoke on the bed in her room and Rebecca came to taunt her. ‘The Priory was near the sea, The view from her window was not of the surf, but of mud flats over which at high tide the shallow water flowed sluggishly. The hag, the man at the gate and the villagers belleved that she was Insane. No promises of bribes would move tliem to ald her. Tom Dimsdale was nearly mad with the fear that had ‘been growing in him. Long ago all pretense o® courtesy be- tween Dimsdale and Ezra had ceased. He bombarded young Girdlestone with questions, and, getting unsatisfactory re- plies, followed him persistently till eluded, only to take up the trailing again when Ezra reappeared. , It was Saturiey—the third Saturday since Girdlestone and his ward hed disappeared. Dimsdale had fully made up his mind that, go where he would, Ezra should not escape him this time. On two consecutive Saturdays the young merchant had managed to get away from him, and had been absent each time until the Monday morning, Tom knew, and the thought was @ bitter one, that these days Were spent in some unknown retreat in the company of Kate and of her guardian. This time at least he should not as anes. without revealing his destination, The two young men remained in the office until 2 0% 3 ‘Then Esra put on his hat and overcoat, buttoning eS close, for the weather was bitterly cold. Tom at once picked up his wideawake and followed him out into Fenchurch street, #0 close to his heels that the swinging door had not shut on the one before the other passed through. Ezra glanced round at him when he heard the foot- steps and gave & snarl like an-angry dog. There was no longer any pretense of civility between the two, and whe: “It would LOVE.

IRDLESTONE i jeden ever thelr eyes met it was only to exchange glances of hatred and deflance. A hansom was passing down the street, and Ezra, with @ few muttered words to the driver, sprang In. Fortunately another had just discharged {ts fare, and was still waiting by the curb. Tom ran up to It. Keep that red cab in sight,” he gaia, “Whatever you do, don’t let It get away from you.” The driver, who was a man of few words, nodded, and whipped up his horse, It chanced that this same horse was elthor a faster or fresher one than that which bore the young merchant. The red cab rattled down Flect street, then doubled on its tracks, and coming back by St. Paul's plunged into a labyrinth of side streets, from which it evenutally emerged upon the Thames Embankment. In spite of all {ts efforts, however, it was unable to shake off its pursuer. The red cab journeyed on down the embankment, and across one of the bridges, Tom's able chartoteer still keeping only a few yards Uehind it. Among the narrow streets on the Surrey side Egra’s vehicle pulled up at a low beer-shop. Tom's drove on a hundred yards or so, and then stopped where he could have a goad view of whatever occurred. ara had jumped out and entered the public-house. Tom waited patiently outside unt!l ho should reappear. His movements hitherto had puzzled him completely. For a moment the wild hope came into his head that Kate might be concealed in this strange hiding-place, but a little re- flection showed him the absurdity and impossibility of the idea. Ho had not long to walt. In a very few minutes young Girdlestone came out again, accompanied by a tall, burly man, with a bushy red beard, who was miserably dressed, and appeared to be somewhat the worse for drink. He/ was helped into tho cab by Ezra, and the pair drove off together. Tom was more tewilldered than ever Who was this fellow, and what connection had he with the matter on hand. Léke a sleuth-hound the pursuing hansom threaded its way through the torrent of vehicles which pour down the London streets, never for one moment losing sight of its sjuarry. Presently they wheeled into the Waterloo road, close to the Waterloo Station. The red cab turned sharp) round and rattled up the incline which leads to the main) Ine. Tom sprang out, tossed a sovereign to the driver, and followed on foot at the top of his speed. As he ran into the station Ezra Girdlestone and the red- urday there were special trains to the country. Tom was afraid of losing sight of the two men in the crowd, so he elbowed his way through as quickly as he could, and got immodiately behind them—so olose that he could have touched them with his hand. They were approaching the booking-office when Ezra glanced round and saw his riva! standing behind im.

Some of them have safd recently from the pulpit that it ts demoralizing for women to play bridge. and if ink so, will you not say so? “1am an old-fashioned mother, and I do not want to be too hard on my chil- dren, but I must say bridge has done more in my family to cause dissension than any other factor I can ree! 1 canne poncile myself to my daughters playing for money, and their anewer that ‘every one else plays bridge,’ when I express my opinion only makes me fee! more tain that gambling ls a growing evi! and is pernicious, espe so when its devotees are young women." Yer, [ do pretend to be a liberal woman, I have no objections to cards asa diversion. But card pinying, as every one knows It Is practised to-day in New York and London and a great many other cities, 1s not a diversion, it 1s a dissipation, and It Is one of the ex sen that dom Ja the sternest punishment, sical and moral, when tae day of reckoning comes. Innocent recreation is healthful, wholesome; but recreation should bo a relaxation, not a dissipation. Gambling 1s not a recreation In the proper sense of the word, Diverston should have noth- ing to do with demoraliaation, and that card playing to-day is having demoral- faing effect 1 think no one can doutt ‘A woman with a passion for gambling in any form cannot be a wise compan- fon for her children—she cannot be a thoughtful, reasonable wife, and in many caszs she cannot even be a proper companion for her sons and daughters. I cannot see @ point of defense left tor the bridge players who are spending hours each day at the tables, Any pastime that prevents a woman from performing her duties as a wife, mother or daughter is reprehensible end must be degenerating, Gambling cannot in any form bs righ ven disguised as a mere diverston, Thero is no greater evil, It seoms t . than the cultivation of the passion for gambling which has followed the introduction of bridge whist. In London, fashionable wor do not hesitate to talk of their losses and their winnings at bridge, and 80 long as cards are played for money and played hours and hours of each day the most domoralizing influence of the gaming table is at work. . Each woman in this world has dvttes to perform. I matters not at all what her station Is. There {9 no woman so rich, #0 highly placed that she {s Immune from duties to her family, her acquaintances and soclety at large. There ts none so humbly circumstaiced that she cannot set a wrong current Into action by the negiect of her duty to her little home and her dependent family, When it comes to the degrading effects of card playing for money by young girls, 1 think, there can be but one opinion. Gumbling Is a vice. The fact that the gambler fs a young, pretty girl only mukes the offense more glaring, nore pitiable. Gambiiig with cards {s like any other game of chance—an attempt to get somthing without legitimately earning It No woman with a normal sense of right and wrong can believe ft right to get moniry by a trick or a chance, No women can honestly belleve that money won at a gaming table ts honest— or money that will do her any good. The greatest danger than can assall the race ts in the lowering of the stand- ards of womanhood. The woman who pays cards day and night for money has deadened her con- science to the sinfulness of her dissipation perhaps, but I do not belleve a woman, ever existed who would or could honestly defend the practice. Whatever tends to over-excltement—nervous tension—and the cultivation of greed and self-interest must at the same time tend to weaken the moral flbre of womanhood. Every woman who has visited Monte Cario and has watched the women who spend their lives at the gaming tables knows what effect the hideous vice really has upon {ts victims, The woman who plays at Monte Carlo has but ono object in life—to get the money ‘from her neighbors even to the last sou, though she beggars them by so doing. When a passion for snatching money out of her nelghbors’ pockets possesses her the sooner the woman card-player calls a halt on bridge the better—morning trldge parties, bridge luncheons, ridge after- noons—I cannot see how this sort of dissipation can be consclentiously defended. ‘The old-fashioned mother has my sincere sympathies, A STVbISH SUMMER GOWN pered something to his half-drunken comrade, The latter turned, and with an inarticulate cry, like a wild beast, rushed at the young man and selzed him by the throat wit, his brawny hands. It 1s one thing, however, to catch a man by the throat, and another to retain that grip, especially when your antagonist happens to be an international football player. To Tom this red-bearded rough, who charged him so furtously, was nothing more than the thousands of bull-headed forwards who had come upon him like thunderbolts in the days of old. With the ease begotten by practice he circied ‘his as- saflant with h{s long, muscular arms and gave ® quick, con- vulsive jerk in whtch every sinew of his dody partict- pated, The red-bearded man's stumpy legs described a halt- cirele in the ar, and he came down on the stone pavement with @ sounding crash which shook every particle of breath trom his enormous body. Tom's fighting blood pvas all aflame now, and his gray eyes glittered with Joy as he made at Ezra, All the cau- tlons of his father and the exhortations of his mother were cast to the winds as he saw his enemy standing before him, To do him justice Bzra was nothing loath, but sprang torwird to meet htm, hitting with both hands. They were well matched, for both were trained boxers and excep- tionally powerful men, Ezra was perhaps the stronger, but ‘rum was in fetter condition. There was a short, eager rajly—blow @nd guamd and counter so quick and hard that the eye could hardly foliow it, ‘Then @ rush of railway servants and bystanders tore them asunder, Tom had a red flush on tits forehead where a blow hed fallen. Ezra was spitting out the fragments of a broken tooth and bleed- ing profusely. Each struggled furiously to get at the other, with the result that they were dragged further apart. Eventually a burly policeman eeized Tom by the collar and held him as in @ vise. “They'll get away! I know they will!” Tom cried tn de- spair, for both Ezra and hie companion, who was none other than Burt, of African notoriety, had disappeared from his sight. His fears proved to be only too well founded, for when at last he succeeded in wresting himself from the con- stable’s clutches the could find no trace of his enemles. A dozen bystanders gave a dozen different accounts of thelr movements. He rushed trom one platform to another over all the great station. He could have torn his hair at the thought of the way tn which he ad allowed them to slip through ‘his fingers, It was fully an hour before he finally’ abandoned the search, and acknowledged to himself that he pia eee hoodwinked for the third time and that a long week would elapse before at Tae claves. The could have another chance of Ho turned at last sadly and reluctantly away from the station, and walked across to Waterloo Bridge, brooding over all that had occurred, and cursing himself for his stupidity in allowing himself to be drawn into a vulgar brawl, when he might have attained his end so much better by quiet observation. It was some consolation, how- ever, that he had had one fair crack at Ezra Girdlestone He glanced down at hs knuckles, which were raw und Dieeding, with a mixture of satisfaction and disgust. With a half smile he put his injured hand in his Pocket, and | looking up once more became aware that a red-faced gentleman Was approaching him in a highly excited manner, It could not be sald that the red-faced gentleman walked, neither could {t be said that the red-faced gentleman ran, His mode of progression might best be described as a auc. cession of short and unwieldy jumps, which, as he waa @ rather stout gentleman, appeared to indicate some very urgent and pressing need for hurry. His face was bathed in perspiration, and ‘hic collar had become flaccid and shapeless from the same cause. It appeared to Tom, ag he gazed at those rublcund though anxious features, that they should be well known to him. ‘That glossy hat, those speckless gaiters, and the long frock coat, surely they vould belong to none other than the gallant Major Toblas Clutterbuck, late of Her Majesty's 119th of the Line, As the old soldier approached Tom he quickened his pace, so that when he eventually came up with him he could only puft and pant and hold out a solledgletter, “Read! he managed to ejaculate, Tom opened the letter and glanced his eye over the con- bearded stranger were immediately in front of him There was a great swarm of people all around, for as it was Gat- white, This very attractive gown shows it made with the shirring and tucke that mark the season and trimmed with heavy lace and {8 as graceful as it is smart, but the design auits all pliable fabrics equally well. ‘The waist ie made over a fitted lining that is faced to form the yoke and ts, Itself, shirred at the upper edge and tucked above the belt.

He asked him to take the examination, Raphael did so and Is said to have scored the highest record for a physical examination ever made by an officer of the force and tn the mental examination ranked tenth among eighty-five accepted candidates out of a total of 380. Ever since their meeting in 189% Theodore Roosevelt and the east side boy have been personal friends. Raphael vis- ited the Prestdent at his home tn this elty, later at Albany, since Mr. Roosevelt became President has been received twice in special avdience at the White House.

From the first Mr, Roosevelt took a strong personal in- terest in the young man who, struggling egainst such odds, kept his fumily in comfort and has never in ‘his ife owed a dollar to any man, ‘The President knows the four atstera,, Jennie, Sarah, Estelle and Nellie, and while on his‘last Western tour spent the night at the home of Estelle, who has;ainoemarried and moved to Kemmerer, Wyo. Raphael has since been promoted-an®? dimealaryincreased to $1,400 a year. He now lives with his widowed-sister Sarah and her son Harry at No 270 Madison street.
