The keeper understood; and a smile lurked slyly around his mouth as Le obeyed the command. With the help of the two men the detective soon encased xn. JTarmenu in a straitiaoket," threw him do-m upon the bed, and locked him into the cell to ponder over the changing fortunes of this changeable world. Arthur Wynne stooped oyer the pale faoe upon the sofa, falling back with a err of joy. It was indeed Ruby, his Ruby; the lost was fonnd; the dead alive atram. She came back to con sciousness after a lo ng time, during which the young man grew faint at heart vitk the Eorritde fear Out she - She opened her beautiful eyes; they fell upon his face. "Arthur!" was all that she could say. No word of love had. aver been spoken between the tjso-no words were needed.' "Sty own little wile ! he murmured, fondly. She slipped her little sold hand into his, and a golden silence fell upon the two for a brief space, broken by the voice of the kind hearted keeper. "If you please, Mr. Wynne," he ventured, .softly, "we ought to be going. We are aot- out of. hi power yet, you assv Ton are right," said Arthur. "Order a carriage at once, sad I will take Miss IiSwienee to my own boose. Buby, you will come?' turning swiftly to meet her longing gase, "I will semifor Mrs, OhQlingworth. She has stood by you bravely, although acting a part before the world, in compliance with my plans ss detective. But she loves you, all she same, and will be a mother to you.' A carriage was soon xeady, and Buby placed within; Arthur seated himself by her side; and so they were driven away, sad saw the last forever of Dr. ParmentPs retreat for the insane. Buby lifted, her grateful eyes to Arthur's face. "Thank God, " she murmured,brokenly, "and your A CHAPTEBXXIl. . narrss to tbs waix, Arthur Wynne arrived at his own heme, and placed Buby in charge of the astonished Mrs. Grey, while he hastened to Mrs. ChQlingwortlu That lady speedily obeyed the summons, and was soon at Ruby's side, prepared to nurse the poor girl back to health, for that she was very ill was only too evident. Her long confinement in that horrible place, and the dreadful treatment she had received, had nearly deprived her of life. - As soon as Ruby's wants were attended to, and -Chief Ludlowe had received a full account Of all that had taken place, Arthur turned his steps toWacdXawrenee Park. He wanted to see Mark Alleyno; he wanted to get a foothold at Lawrence Park before the news of what had happened in the retreat should have time to reach Gabrielle's ears. He found thai lady looking serenely elegant in a morning robe of pale pink plush. Adele, in soft, flowing white, shrouded in laoe, was lounging indolently in a low seat when he vras announced. At sight of him she started up with-a low cry. . He greeted the ladies with unusual warmth, which he thought best to assume for the occasion, and incidentally inquired for Mark Allcyne. "I heard that he wai in," explained Arthur, "sad so I have called to inquire." "He is very ill, she returned, slowly. "If you wish to see him " She arose suggestively, and Arthur followed her up-stairs into a large, airy chamber. Mark lay upon the bed very pile, his dark eyes burning with feverish light An idea had entered Arthur Wynne's brain; a plan was speedily, evolved from chaos; he determined to try an experiment. "He will hot permit his wife to come to him," began Gabrielle in an aside. "Of course you have heard of that unfnnate affair. Well, he will not see her; and the poor fellow is quite dependent upon me for nursing. I am nearly exhausted," with a deep, plaintive sigh. She did not look exhausted, but Arthur assumed an expression of commiseration. Gabrielle unwittingly was playing directly into bis hands. "I wiH stay and nurse him, if you will permit me. " Arthur returned. Gabrielle bowed. Such a chance to keep Arthur is. the house, where he would be thrown in contact with Adele, was not to be despised. She consented at once, only too glad ot the offer. Arthur Wynne laid his plans at once, and sent for the physician in attendDoetor Jjee was a kind-hearted man, and a. shrewd old fellow, -also; he readily entered into Ai-thur's plot, and the game began that very day. Doctor Lee stooped over tlie sick man, with pale, troubled face, and grave, anxious eyes. Hark saw the look, and hisoowardly heart quaked. "Doctor, am I worse?'' he asked, brokenly. "Tell me, is there any chancer Doctor Lee shook his head sagejy. "In the midst of life we are in death 1" he quoted, solemnly. "AUeyne, I will ten you the truth--! make a point of always speaking the truth to my patients I will keep nothing back if you desire to know "Tell me tell me all!" panted the sick man. "Am I really worse? I thought -1 fancied that I was getting bettor. xou said yesterday that there was a little change for the better, you know?" The doctor groaned lugubriously. "Very true, my friend, Bnt-1 did sot spprehend the present alarming symptoms; Mr. Alleys, do you wish to know?" "I do." "Well, then, I have only to say that it would be well for you to prepare for thewomt." "My God! No! I am not not going to die?" The doctor looked preternaturaUy grave. "I merely toll you that it is best to prepare," he retained, solemnly. "If you have any business matters to arrange, your will to make: anything of that sort, I advise you to attend to it at onoe. The less delay, the better." He left the room with a slow step. Mark covered his face with his hands'. "You will stay with me, Wynne ?" he falksatlestti, '

"To the end!" returned Arthur)

Lee called atiaiilL As he entered the sick room he exclaimed in a low tone but riot too low to be heard by the patient; "Poor fellow! He is nearly gone!" He came to the bedside, and stood there for a time in utter silence more eloquent than words, a silence which said plainly : "I , jive him up 1 There is no hope! Arthur hovered in the background, silently praying for the success of his plot , Two day came and went, and Mark Alleyno (really convalescing) fully believed himself sinking fast Arthur scaroely left his side, bight or day, and at every opportanitv he impressed upon the patient the necessity Of confessing anything that might weigh upon his mind; As I have said, the detective remained at his bedside, only stealing away ones in a while to see how Buby was getting along. He was always met by Mrs. Chillingworth with the cheering hope of recovery. ' At last the time came when Mark Alleyno fully made up his mind that the end was near, and he must die. It was an awful thought to this crimestained villain, and so weakened was he in body and mind that at last he decided upon a definite course. He called Arthur to his bedside. "Wynne," he said, slowly and brokenly, "I'm afraid it's all up with me. I aiu so' weak and faint that lean scaroely speak. I must say something. I must confess before I die. Listen!" "May I not take it down upon paper?" asked Arthur. - The sick man nodded. "Perhaps it will be best," he said. So Arthur, who had long been prepared for such an emergency, seated himself with writing materials before him, and Dr. Lee and a friend were summoned ss - witnesses. The moment bad arrived, when, driven to the wall, Mark AUeyne would be forced to confess all that he knew. "I want to tell you," he faltered, feebly. "I am going "to explain how Gilbert Lawrence came to hia death.' CHAPTER XXX. TOUO BX H8 SHADOWS. For a moment Arthur Wynne's heart fairly stopped beating. But he compressed his lips together firmly, and dipped his pen into the ink well, "Go on," he said, quietly, "and be as ooncise as possible." Mark groaned. "Let me begin at the beginning," he said. "I have known Gabrielle St Gvr and her dauarhter all mv life. I have loved Adele ever since 1 was old enough to know what love means. Gentlemen, would you know the truth? She is La Belle, the famous danseuse!" "That in no news tome, Mr. AUeyne. Goon!" "La Belle's pretended death was all a scheme of Gabriiille's to get possession of the Lawrence fortune. . "She knew that her child, onoe elevated to the position of heiress to the great Lawrence fortune, must never acknowledge her identity mth the dancer. "Gilbert .Lawrence died believintr Gabrielle to. be his lawful wife; but I happen to know (and so does she) that the priest who performed the ceremony had been exeommunieated before it took place; he had no right to perform the ceremony; consequently it was not valid. lThat makes Miss Buby Lawrence the lawful child of Gilbert Lawrence, and the true heiress ot Lawrence Park." Arthur causrht his breath with a cry of joy. "Thank God!" he murmured, softly. "Well,'' went on Mark, quite feebly. "I was half mad with love for Adele, and I promised to do anything to help uabneue in her w:ua scheme. "I hired the girl, Maggie WiUett, to do all the dirty wo rk. She it wss who placed in Baby's room the supposed evidences of her guilt the bloodstained dagger and dress, and handkerchief , the key ia the pocket of the dress, the panaies upon the floor beside the body. She did it all (curse her), with a wild hope that X was going to make her my wife. "She had a false key to Kubys room, and it was while she was placing a boirus will in tho crrate to be after ward discovered as Ruby's crime that she lost the coral comb from her hair, which so excited your suspicions. I took Buby Lawrence out of her room in the dead of night 'Maggie had already entered it, and dressed the poor girl, making her believe, in her sick and half delirious state, that you, Mr. Wynne, had sent tor ner. "I took her from the room by means of a ladder; it was the easiest matter imaginable to drug the girl by means ot an opiate, in brandy and the coast was clear. "I took her to Beeohwood, as Gabri elle bade me, and placed her in charge of one Farmenti. in a private asylum for the insane, where she is still confined." "Not much," muttered Arthur, be-tween-his set teeth. "Go on," he commanded once more, in a low, ominous voice. "Gentlemen, that is the whole se cret Now, I will proceed to toll you how Gilbert Lawrence died." An awful hush fell over the room. Arthur's pen was suspended, awaiting his next words. Mark went on, weakly. I was at Lawrence Park the night of the tragedy," he continued, slowly. "I met Gabrielle coming from there. I wished to see Gilbert Lawrence, but when I reached the house I was attracted by a strange scene which met my gaze, and so I did not ring for ad mittance. This is what I saw: The curtains of the library window had not been drawn, and Gilbert Lawrence sat at his desk writing busily. I was so impressed oy tne sight 01 nis pale, stern, hopeless face, that 1 crouched down below the window and watched his movements. He finished writing and locked the paper i a drawer in his lescretoixe. Then he arose, and going over to tne center-taoie wrote tnose words which were found there when his body was discovered. - That done, he lifted his hand and deliberately extinguished the gas, leaving the great room half in firelight, half in shadow. "By the flickering shadows which played across the dusky background I witnessed all that followed. 1 saw it all, gentleman; Ruby Lawrence is innocent there was no murder done! Gilbert Lawrence died by his own hand!" Arthur Wynne started to his feet, pale and trembling, his eyes full of a wild light "Are you in your senses?" he asked, curtly. ' "I am!" returned Mark AUeyne, calmly. "Gilbert Lawrence, believing himself guilty of a wrong which could never be set right to Buby, his beloved child committed suicide. First, he attempted to poison" himself with prussio acid; but with strange perversity, he ' dashed the phial aside before it had touched his lip, and stabbed himself instead with the dagger. I myself removed the bloodstained weapon from the ghastly wound; but the dagger found in Ruby's possession was not the one that did the awful deed. I would not give that up. But sow, you understand the

royatery Ot the broken phial found beside the body, and the incomprehensible odor ot prussio acid in the room." "There was a tress of golden hair olutched in the dead man's hand," said Arthur.

"It was placed there by Matwie Willett," returned Mark. "But I am not done with my story; listen! When I saw uunert Lawrence fall to the floor, I opened the window and entered the room. X went to the escretoire and abstracted the paper which X had seen mm place there. "It is a full confession of the hidden sin, and expressed a determination to take bis life. His will I also found. It leaves everything to Ruby, save a life annuity to uarteue. L kept those pa pers. Ibid them from Gabrielle: she has never seen them or suspected their existence; xou will mid tuentiu ray writing desk over yonder." Five minutes later, and they were in Arthur Wynne's possession. He went quietly down stairs and sent for Ga brielle and Adele. "Madam." the detective botran. stern ly, I give yott and your daughter, La Belle, the danseuse, twenty-four hours in which to leave Lawrence Park; Miss Ruby Lawrenoe, the real mistress of this place, is in charge of Mrs. Oiiillingwortn, and will speedily take possession here. Oh, the scene which followed! Arthur sent for Chief Ludlowe, and the whole storv waa made Dublin. "Rullv was soon able to be .moved, sua was brought back to the dear old home r s soon as Gabrielle and Adele had taken their departure. The life twmuitv was paid over to Gabrielle St. Cyr (not Aiawrence) every year, and m oompany with her daughter she made her borne in Europe. Thither Mark AUeyne (who did not die) soon followed them (ac companied nolens volens by Maggie Willett, and after a time their very memory was forgotten.

The clouds are all gone from their pathWay. The dreadful consequences which followed Gilbert Lawrence's mistake, made in younger days that msd marriage that hidden sin, which was destined to prove the curse of his life, and brought him at last to that awful death, whose secret was told by the shadows. TUB KND.J Making the San Draw His Own Picture. Mr. J. Ci O'Loan, of Liverpool, writes to the Scientific American: While experimenting with a ray of sunlight in a darkened room, I had my attention directed to pin-liole pictures, and am of the opinion that startling results can be obtained in photographs of the sun or moon in this way! In a room darkened by blocking up windows with thick paper, make a small hole in the paper with a "darning needle," so as to admit a ray of direct sunlight Hold a piece of white paper in the path of the ray, twelve inches from the hole, you will have an image of the suu oneeighth inch in diameter; at four feet, an image of one-half inch, and at the distance of eight feet from the hole a one-inch image, and so on. . The size of opening used as lens does not open the size of image at any given distance, but only its sharpness and brightness. Say the opening is 1-16 inch, and gives a sharp picture at four feet, by enlarging the opening to one-eighth the size of the image at four feet would be still the same, but unsharp, so that the screen or plate must be removed to twice the distance to obtain equal sharpness. In a room 100 feet long, a twelve-inch picture of the sun could be had, and of the moon one very much larger. A series of pipes 100 yards Ions: for camera would give a three-foot photograph of the sun. Xn fact, there is no limit to size of image but the length of camera. Perhaps some one who has more time and space at his dis posal than jl have may take the sub ject up. . Odd Devices for Photographs. There are various ways for provid ing surprising results in photography, things that in one age would have been called magic, but in ours recognized as scientific tricks. The ghost picture, for instance, in which a shadowy ghost through which material objects are visible is seen between natural attitudes and occupations. This is pro duced by an almost instantaneous exposure of the figure that is to do duty as tne gnost, followed by a run exposure ot the figures and properties that are to appear natural. Another novel trick was shown recently in a photograph reproduced by a prominent trade journal, which presented the photographer, seated at a table, playing "chess with himself sitting on the opposite aide of tho table, while he himself stood up in the background looking at his two selves playing. The figures were all on the negative, which was produced by three successive exposures of the nlate. parts there of being masked each time by a black velvet shutter, etill another trick is that by which a person who liked that sort of thing may appear to be photographed, riding on a flying goose, or a fish, or any other desired style of ridiculous locomotion. This is done by the subject holding upon his lap a huge piece of white or sky-tinted card with the fanciful figure drawn upon it His fice appears alwve the upper edge ol the card and seems, in the picture, joined to the funny little body mounted on the goose or fish. The statue picture is made by about the same device, -Photographic Bevievi. Fooled by the Fsrtune-Teller. An unwise Cincinnati wagon driver, who followed the advice of a fortuneteller and . left the lid of his trunk open over night, next morning discovered that all his savings, $140, had been carried off. He didnt lose faith in the fortune-teller, however. He again visited her, and, upon paying fifty cents, she cheered him up by telling him to reopen the trunk and the stolen money would be returned within twenty-four hours. He opened the trunk, but the lost cash failed to put in an appearance.

The author ot the paper states that in Switzerland school-houses are built on the top of small hills, but in America they are often dumped in spots good for nothing else. Schoolhouses, he insists, should invariably be built in parks. This is right, both as to cities and country.
