His namo is Richard Regent.’ “Then I remembered the man, and ehuddered. He was a man who did tricks on the stage—a handsome man, not common, or anything of that sort; Dut he scared me then with hia won- @erful tricks and his terrible eyes, and — I could not see how I could have a man like that, Then I remem- bered that this man could open hand- oufts and locks—and I thought, may- be, he had these penitentiary people helpless, and that they had to appeuse ‘Dol him, and —— How can I tell what J thought?)

But the dream—— Owen, somehow IT feel that I'm not worthy, when I think of my consent to marrying a man whom I had only seen once—and then only to be afraid of him.” T looked at Regent, wondering, mouth flabby. But he was the mas- ter of the situation and he smiled, “You need never argue for the su- pernatural again, dear Rosemary,” he sald, “nor plead the truth that ‘coming events cast their shadows before’ It was ordained that you should marry me. I do not attempt to explain the fact, any more than I can explain why you recognize the articles in my drawing room; but the man you were to marry in your tream is no rival of mine, My stage name is Richard Regent, and the make-up in which you saw me was mostly false hair and grease paint. You are one of the few mortals who can claim a miracie!" And he took her into his arms, as though miracles were, if not com- monplace, at least as existent as four-leaved clovers. CHAPTER XV. The Executioners. IRECTLY, now—without any further reference to our twisted states of mind—I lead you to the conclusion of the affair which, though it has not tortured you aa it did us, must, at least, have mystified you considerably. At 8 o'clock on the following morn- ing wo rang the bell at Mr, James Cotton's Bryant Park residence. Knowing the great man's habits as we did, we expected to be shown tnto his breakfast room; and we were not appointed. Mr. Cotton, looking up from a table liberally provided with poached eggs, muffins, ham and mar- malade, greeted us cheerlly and in- vited us to be seated. He showed no surprise at seeing us at such an unusual calling hour, He merely inquired if we would have cof- fee; and, as our own breakfast had been a somewhat hasty one, duo to the desire to catch Mr. Cotton before he left his house, we acceded. “We've come about the Ffrench case, Cotton,” said Regent. “Supererogative to tell me that,” re- plied Mr. Cotton, out of # corner of his mouth. “Been expecting us?” asked Regent ominously. “Well—the trial’s on to-day. Im- agined you'd be here before It began; that is, if Miss Ffrench talked, That ver move of yours, Mr. Jack- r was ac anapes—that getting the girl and he father to make free with your house. “Association with diabolical cleve ness has naturally affected mo & little,” returned Regent. Mr. Cotton laughed, “We didn't know where they were until It was too late,” he remarked, and cracked another exe. “Well—what'a to be done, oh?” Briefly, Regent outlined to bim the strange dream of Miss Tosemary french; to which Cotton nodded gravely. “Mhe still believes it a dream? asked, at the conclusion of Regent's narration “Yan.” “and her father?” “Oh, we've argued it to bim on axciontivic: principles,” said Regent, with a ghost of a emile, “And, pow, 1 want to know under what authority New York gives in mar- riage a convict sen prisonment; for there's not a single doubt he world that Miss Hose- mary Ftrench was the lady whom wo rescued from Number One Bebuy- " ” f “ - lection of lethal inet Hee here—d'li play with ately ip love with @ young lady #m-|two girie and cannot And out whieh I) "V. 1" writes “le Ht prope. fer & oI neirumente im the ver 5 As to Dr Pioyed in the same office, but aueliove ‘he better, Whenever | heer|young girl to whom & young mas ie| fore confined (o (he ‘life-tarm’ crim. possession of the Monte Carlo patles, you, earde - ‘ om, 1166 AN 4 girl afford to be refined) does not seem to care for me. thal either has accepted any at- pay rv attention to recelv®) inais, Her father bad left the hotel, “In the trial that's coming ’ t oo quietly?" can I win her love?” tention tre at m | friendly letters from another man?” ‘Wowiand hes, #0 tar, + hie ii have a story to tell which will make That iv the question whieh |, 28Y BOF ail (be attention she wiil | jealous 1 Awe Vertoctiy proper, expecially eince the Lorie a vaeune, on hour before the bea Mina Pfrench'e dream a reality, That'll a winit, aad show your pion tu | the tw amuity? air) ie oot engaged. proposition, ul Une Pre wae discovered.

Mr. Cotton pushed back the iron- barred Goor, after first having thrown off the catch which held a slide within. A little sheet of tron dropped, and gave us @ peephole about @ foot square. Young Dr. Cotton went to another door, unlocked it, and called. A capa- ble looking young woman, in hospital dress, came out. “Has she had her breakfast?” “Yes, doctor.” “Bring her in, then.” ‘The nurse went within, and we heard a cooing noise. Presently something on four feet came crawling through the doorway, making those gurgling sounds associated with babyhood. At first we thought that !t was an ape attired in a child's swaddling clothes; but, as it equatted down in the centre of the room and cocked a bright eyo toward young Dr. Cotton, we saw that it was a full-grown human being. Young Dr. Cotton seemed to un- derstand what the creature wanted; for he took some candies out of the pocket of his smock-frock, and, pres- ently, Httle satisfied grunts issued from the creature—also the odor of peppermint. The doctor sat down by her side and picked up one of the letter blocks, marked with a large in red. “What?” he asked. screamed the creature dejight- edly. He held up another, “What?” "“Q-Q!" cried the creature, as though recognizing an old friend. As she spoke, she turned her head; and we recognized her. It was the mulatto woman who had occupied the cell in Biack Cross House! We watched her with strained eyes. ‘Woman grown though she was, there was no doubt that she was not acting the child—the baby. She went through her letterm satisfactorily, was re~ warded with more peppermints, and then-—the nurse on one side and young Dr. Cotton on the other-—-was given lessons in walking. Prosently, we turned to Mr. Cotton, “Im there any object in showing us this?” asked Regent. “Because it doesn't he!p to clear the myatery; It only intensifies ‘t, We aw that woman asieep at No. 1 Schuyler Place, on the night that we took Miss Pirench # ‘ was this ell, you've Come into my nough of that study.” He wae careful to when we entered lock his door Then he Hehted Betty Vincent's Advice to Lovers Daily aarp tei nee ae any r : Magazine.

As for the explanation that followed, it was longer than the one I have set down, and much more explicit, but T am not @ scientist, and, consequently, I cannot remember the ramifications of the various subjects which Mr, Cotton discussed in connection with the main theme. But you will find the meat of his explanation here, and If it does not satisfy you, go to the friendliest man of actence in your ac- quaintance, and ask him to give you the detaiin that I have omitted. You will have no fault to find with tho strangeness of his story. “Firat,” he began, “let me go into the matter of the inverted black croas, which first attracted my attention this affair marked his firet vial of It with this cross, The sign was disregarded by his assistant, who lost two fingers in consequence.

On the other hand, one might obtain reilef from the moat ter- rible pains, and—well, you probably know as much of that as Ido, The symbol of this so¢iety—which bought its right to continue investigations by providing princes, bishops, cardinals and nobles with polsona—was the tn- verted black cross, The society was supposed to have died out centuries ago.

After six months, Von Brahm found the green quid to be eMfcacious in the matter of harmiessness and deadening to pain. He then brought together a number of the members of the Black Cross so- ctety, and announced his discovery.
