Khw York Orrr (Station A). DrJlfeMemsMission 5 RemarKaWe Romance. BY EMILY TH0RHT0H. CHAPTKK X. A 8TRANOB SOJOIOSS. In his unusually pleasant office on Broadway sat Lemuel Gray, a middleaged man and succosf ul lawyer, in deop thought. In his hand he held a letter, which, after a few moments, he again carefully read. As It refers to people and events to he monWmed often in the remarkable story about to be related, we give the contents entire: ' YOSKEBS, April 15, 188C Mr. Lemuel Gray: Dear Sib It is with great difficulty that I pen the following, being very 111, but as tho object I have in view by thus addressing you, is 01 great importance, 1 will write in as few words as possible. Ton are aware, being my confidential adviser, that I expected to sail for Enrope shortly, in order to attempt to unravel the mystery surrounding the death of Sir Arthur Olendenning, in whose fate I am so deeply interested. I wished to vist, in some disguise, tho town where Olendenning Hall is situated, to become acquainted with the present baronet and Lady Constance, his wife, with the nephew and niece residing with them, and to learn something, if possible, about the only sister who married without tho consent of her family, and who, therefore, was disowned by her relatives, as well as a young girl whom It was said they had adopted. I desired, also, to make inquiries in regard to the private character of Antoine Duval, tbe volet of tbe present Sir Reginald Glcndennlng, and to study everything that might boar upon the mystery ot the case. I regret to say that my physician declares It Impossible for me to undertake, with safety, this journey. - What do you think of my sending thither a substitute? I have in mind a roung phy sician, Dr. iJarlo Elfonstoln, who resides in your city. I cannot tell you his address, as he moved to a new residence last-Hay. I write to ask you to hunt him up for me. Please make a' few Inquiries as to his circumstances, disposition, and above all, whether .he Is an energetic and conscientious man. Inform me In regard to these matters at an early date. If favorable, and the plan meets your approval, set a time when you can meet him at my residence and explain to nun tbe peculiar mission 1 wlsb bun to undertake In my behalf. Your presence will be absolutely necessary, as the disease with which I am afflicted forbids my entering into tho long explanations that must bo given in order to instruct him in tbe per formance 01 tuo woric, sbouia be agree to undertaken Please attend to this at once and oblige. yours, etc, Leon Bappkltb. To this, ft lew hours later, the follow ing reply was penned; New Toax; April IS, Use. Mr. Leon Bappelye: Dxar 8m Upon the receipt of yours of the 15th, I examined the "City Directory" without delay. I And Dr. Eifensteln's address to be 47 Extou street. Going at onco to the neighborhood, I learned from a reliable source that the young man has a very small practice, therefore, finds it difficult to Bupport his widowed mother and Mnisolt in comfort. This state of his finances Is not due to lack of energy, for he is indefatigable in his efforts to benefit his patients, but those who apply to hiia for advice are, unfortunately, the very poor in the region of his home. He is an exceedingly conscientious and good man, and, from all I can learn, just tbe one to undertake tbe Important business which you propose, and which I fully approve, I will meet him at your residence on tho the evening of tho 18th. It would be well to send him a telegram to. that effect as soon as you receive this. Yours slncanu. LiemvBL vtRAx. It was a dull and dreary picture that tho eyes of Dr. Earlo Elfenstoin rested upon, as he drew back the lace curtains that draped the parlor window ot his cosy home. His practice was not large, and far from lucrative. Times were unusually hard, and his bills for services rendered poorly paid, so that' lie had, Indeed, a hard struggle to live. This afternoon he was peculiarly cast down, for his mother (who, since his father's death four years before, had been obliged to look to him for support) had reminded him that the month's rent for the flat in which they resided would be duo In three days, and he knew ho had not one quarter of tho amount required, nor much faith in his ability to collect one of the many bills due. It is no wondor, then, that a sigh es caped him, as he turned to greet the sweat-looking lady about fifty years of age, who entered the room, holding an envelope -in her hand. "Hero is a telegram for yon, isarie. What can it be?" "I cannot say, as I expected none, he replied, opening the missive. "This is singular. I am requested to leave the city by the 8 p. m. train for Yonkers, to see a gentleman, who Is an invalid, on a matter of business, ma name is ion Bappelye, a strange name to me." "What shall you do about it?" asKed tho mother, anxiously. "I snail go, or course. Tie message says, 'yon. will be met at the station.' I have just about time to answer a call and meet the train." "What time shall you return?" "It will bo late, I know; perhaps not until morning, but if possible I will return to-night. Good-by, little mother. Who knows bat this will bring better things for us." Later, closely protected by a comfortable ulster from the heavy rain that was falling, with a train of serious thoughts In tils mind, occasioned by his poverty, Dr. Effonstoln wended his way to the Grand Central Do pot, and entered the cars that would bear him to his destination. ' On dashed the train through the darkness. On, on, and still the young physician brooded over his troubles, with eyes fixed on the blackness without. Thus he sat, lost In thought, until the whistle blew for the approaching station, and the brakeman, opening the door, called, In a lond voice: "Yonkers, YonkorsI" CHAPTER IX. mr. lbon itapPBwra, The rain was falling in torrents as the train came thundering to the station, and upon stopping, the usual crowd harried out, and passing through tho waiting-room to tho street beyond,, were soon lost in the gloom. One, hqwaver, Unpr4 at tbe door,

DrwkSMT Ifparentty for some expected srs c eonvoyauoo. Jib w., as could easily bo seen, a itratt'or In tho place. Uo had scarcely a moment to wait, howover, when a private coachman approached, whip jn hand, and accosted him. "I have been sent to meet a gontloman from New York named EKenstolu. Are you tho one?" "I 4m. "Then please foliuw mo. Tho young man was soon seated In a handsome closed carriage, while thd driver also mountodio his box, and thoy immediately started off at a papid paco. Street after streot was traversed, until finally they turned into the extensive grounds of an elegant residence. Tho honso. before which 1 hey stopped was large and imposing in appearanco, but still had a dark and gloomy aspect. No light was visible at any of tho windows. As tho voting man stopped across tho piazza, tho large doors wore instantly oponetl by a colored waiter, who motioned him to enter and proceeded to assist in removing his overcoat and wot overshoes. "How Is Mr. Bappelye to-night?" asked the visitor. "'Bout as usual, massa. 'Pears llko ho must die, he is always so badly oil for breft." "Can I see him?" "Yes, sah, just as soon as you has something to oat. Some dinner is waiting, and do nuss says you am to cat It immcjortly, den come up to his room. I will show you, dorfore, to da diningroom fust." "Very well," replied the stranger, wearily; "I am ready." Crossing tho -marblo floor of tho long hall, he was ushered into a room ologantly appointed. Tho bright grato lire cast a cheerful glow around, while the velvet carpet scaicoly gave back a footfall. The table was laid for one, and very soon a sumptuous dinner was served, of which he alone partook. Leaving tho strangor to enjoy his solitary meal, wo will precede him to tho story above, and to the presence of the invalid, whose urgent telegraphic dispatch had brought him to tho place. The second story back room was largo and commodious, opening into a room beyond, whore every luxury abounded, for the comfort ot the master. Yet in the midsrt of all this splendor, sickness had stalked, -ever reaching forth his poisoned tongue to blight and wither the owner of It alL "Has he come?" These words Issued from the palo Hps

of the sufforer, who was half sitting, halt reclining upon tho bod. "Has Dr. Elfensteln come? X thought I heard the carriage." "You did, and he is here," returned the nurse and housekeeper. "I thought it best to have him take dinner before you saw him. I presume you have much to say and would prefer not to be interrupted. Ho will be with you in a few moments now." The invalid sighed. Then, seeing him greatly pressed for breath, "You seem to suffer so much, had you sot hotter postpone seeing him until morning?" said the nurse. "Oh, no. I may bo worse then. Asthma is so hard to conquer. I will not defer my business. Has my lawyer come?" "Not yet." "He should be here. Tho cuckoo clock has sounded half-past eight some time since." "Yes, it is a quarter to nlno now. But the door-bell rings. I think that is he." "Sot that stand with writing materials close by my bed, then go down and show both gentlemen to this room; after which you can leave us to ourselves until you hear me ring." Making herself known, the nurse Introduced Earle to Mr. Gray, then led the way to the sick man's presence. "Here is Mr. Gray, Mr. Rappelye, and this is your expected friend, Dr. Elfensteln." f Reaching forth a thin, white hand, tho old man smiled feebly, and between struggling breaths managed to say: "I am very glad to see yon." Taking tho emaciated hand in both his, Earlo Elfenstoin pressed it tenderly, and In a low tone, full of feeling, responded: "I am glad I could come to yon, but sorry, very sorry, to see you so 111." "You must wondor why. I summoned yon, an entire stranger, to my side in this unceremonious way, but I have important business to transact. Talking is such an exertion, my lawyer, Mr. Gray, must explain for me my wishes, and why I sent for you." These words were uttered at Intervals, for his short breathing prevented long sentences, and gently releasing his hand Elfensteln took the seat close beside the bed, while Mr. Gray seated himself In a business-like way beside tho table CHAPTER HI, MB BAPFEI.ni'8 rBOPOSAI "Dr. Elfoustein," said Mr. Gray, "my, client and friond, Mr. Loon Rappelye,' Is, as you see, extremely ill. His sufferings are so great that ho has deputized me to explain his motive in sending so unceremoniously for you to visit him In his home. Our friend is a lonely man, having no rolativos living to whom ho wishes to leave his large fortune. He has dictated his last will and testament, and he desires to sign it before ho may be unable to do so; It was necessary for him to see you personally previous to placing Us name to the document iu which, I may add, you are deeply interested." Earle Elfensteln started as' he heard these words, and looked from tho lawyer to the invalid beside him. "You are surprised, naturally," again resumed Mr. Gray, "and probably wondor what Mr. Rappelye knows of you. I will explain this at onco. Your father was George Elteustein, a well-known banker; In years gone by he did Mr. Rappelye a never-to-be-forgotten service. His arrival in this country was followed by a long and dangerous illness, when ho lay alone among strangers, almost neglected, and ho attended to his wants like a brother until he was entirely convalescent. "They mot often afterward, and then lost sight of each other. Years of silence passed, when accidentally be learned about three months since that his benefactor was dead, and his only son was a struggling physician in New York, through an Intimate friend, who often mentioned his fondness for this talented young man, and in this way Mr. Rappelye became deeply interested in you, Ho has heard of your fearless, conscientious manner of meeting your engagements, and this was a characteristic ho particularly wished to find In some young Mend. When, therefore, his health entirely failed, so that he could no longer look after his private business, he determined to send for you, and perhaps place his affairs in your hands." The lawyer paused, and Earle answered: "Anything that I can do within the rang of honor and integrity, I shall bo pleased to undertake." "Wo folt so. The case then la this: but, of course, you will recognize the fact that the history of our friend's lite, which I shall be obliged to unfold to you, is told in strict confidence. Will you promise to regard that conBdonce as a sacred trust, never to bo told to another, until all that is now mysterious has been swept away?" "I will." "Then I will procoed. Our friend was the' youngest son of Sir Geoffrey Glendehning, residing in a largo town near Llvorpool. This gentleman had one daughter, who married against his wishes, and three sons Arthur, who would in caso of his death succeed to the tltlo; Reginald, two years younger; and Fitzoy, the gentleman you see before yon, whose severe domestic misfortunes have been so great that for the last twenty-five years he has been obliged to live In this country, under the assumed name of Rappelye. The cause of this retirement he has kopt, and still wishes to keep, a profound secret. A short time after the death ot his parents, (or they xpired within few

month ot each ttner, and after hit brother Arthur had: come into possession of his title, little turmoils aroso between the brothers, and seemed to embittei thorn exceedingly. "Reginald, the second son, bad an ugly, tnoroso disposition, that was poculiarl exasperating, and whenever the opportunity occurred he delighted In getting Fitzroy into disgrace with the young baronet. "These young men had a very pretty cousin, in whose society they each took extromo pleasure. Her name was Constance Leonora Glendennlng. It was soon discovered that the affections ot the young girl wore centered upon Sir Arthur, and this knowledge was immediately followed by a betrothal. "Reginald, being somewhat disappointed that ho could not win the prize, undertook to report several little Interviews of a purely innocent and accidental nature that Fitzroy had had with this lady to his brother, casting a very sinister light upon them, and assuring Arthur that Fitzroy was endeavoring to supplant htm In her favor. "This artful story infuriated the young nobleman, and caused a very bitter interview. Fitzroy indignantly denied every thought of interference, declaring the truth, that his love for Constance was merely cousinly, and urging that he had been slandered. "This Sir "Arthur refused to believe.and they parted in anger, Fitzroy exclaiming, in a moment of unguarded passion, as he left him: " 'Very well, think so if it suits you; but, mark me, yon shall yet repent your unjust accusations, and, a I live, shall never repeat this insult. "Closing the door as he spoke, he stepped Into the hall, and stood face to face with Antoine Duval, the valet of his brother Reginald, and, from the conscious look he gave him, Fitzroy knew, and after events made him certain, that he had either purposely listened or accidentally heard tho unfortunate remark. "The brothers did not meet again that day, but early the next Fitzroy was awakened by an unusual tumult. "Rising, he dressed rapidly, and proceeded to investigate the cause ot th disturbance "To his horror he was told that Sir Arthur had disappeared during the night His bed had been occupied as usual, but ho had probably been murdered, or very badly wounded, as, while no traces of his body could be found, evidences of a contest were on every side. "Blood was upon tha bed and floor, the window-seat was covered with it, as though he had been dragged through it, and then by means of a rope let down to the ground below. "The rope still clung to the balcony. "From the grass to an ornamental lake not far distant were irregular patches of tho same human gore, "Beyond that, nothing was ever discovered!

"That lake was thoroughly dragged for the body; the grave by the side of it was searched, not a spot being left In which a corpse could be buried to no effect. "Tho body of the murdered Sir Arthur Giendonnlng was never found. "But, while stupefied with grief over his brother's loss, our poor friend was made aware that the finger of suspicion pointed to mm wltn singularly fatal evidences of guilt. "A dagger with his name engraved upon the handle was found by the bedside, ou the floor, its blade still wet with blood. "Beneath tho window-seat, caught upon a nail, was a fragment ot cloth which, upon search being made, fitted exactly into a rent in a dressing-gown ot his, that was found hanging In his own closet. "Horrible to relate, some of his broth er's blood still clung to the gown) tO M OOSTUTCID. coapaol by Dwtta. Tn a leading Western city, there are two rival papers, one published in the morning and the other in the afternoon, Several years ago the city referred to celebrate in grand old style tbe inauguration of a new packet line servios on tbe great river that flowed at its feet. The coming of the first of the floating palaces from the shipyard at which it was built was a matter of interest to the people of the city, and the two rival papers struggled to first give tne Dent news 01 tne steam Doats, Two bright young reporters were sent to the town at which the boats were being built to accompany tbe first steamer. Tbe afternoon newspaper had the best account of tne days Happenings on tbe voyage, but tbe morn ing paper bad tbe advantage on even ing ana night news. iun Hammond, who came from somewhere down ast, represented the afternoon paper, and Will Eagan a Westerner, covered the morning Held. One pretty afternoon, just before a landing at which Hammond expected to me ms last special ior tne (lav was made, there was a hissing sound, a great report, and tbe handsome new steamer appeared to break in two and settle in the water. Hammond was on the swimming stage when the boiler burst, and tbo failing jaokstaff struck him on tbe head. Poor fellow I He never spoke after that, and so Eagan tenderly drew bis body into the yawl that put off from the sinking ooat; a tear stole out of his eye and ran down his cheek, Hammond was tbe only one killed. Thirty minutes after tbe explosion tbe distant afternoon paper went to press, its telegraph editor wondering if Hammond could not get a landing. The morning paper the next day told how tbe explosion occurred and how tbe Pioneer went down. Tbe after noon paper, strangely enough, reprinted the news under a scare need, tne top line of which was: "Scooped by Death!" Chicago Press Bureau. Mona Levity.

nlf Stream Water-, Probably yon never heard of it bo-

fore, the water of the Gulf Stream is confidently believed ty certain 01a people on Staten Island to be a sovereign rnmndv for disorders of the stomach. They drink halt a gloss attereach meal, smock their lips, take a stout horn of whisky and in about three days tuey get well. So they say. So pilots and othor seafaring men who get out to the Gull Stream are frequently importuded to bring in jugs of the Gulf water for the invalids. There is a man down there whose faith is unlimited, and he has been besieging for about thirty years a certain pilot oi his acquaintance to bring him in some water. liut the pilot always forgot. The other day, however, he tickled the old man almost to death by bringing him three jugs of the precious liquid. The old man began to brace up at once, and three days later be chased the pilot half way around the island to overwhelm him with gratitude. "So it did you good, did it?" said the pilot. "Good? Why, bless you, my boy, it has added ten years to my He. I feel like a youngster again. I'll bet that I can beat you in a foot race right here." And the pilot did not smile nor jibe nor jeer. But when the flood tide bad been running about an hour that evening he went softly down to the end of Stapleton pier, drew out a tin bucket and dipped up about a gallon of the limpid stream, and the next morning the old man was overjoyed to get two more jugs of Gulf Stream water from his thoughtful friend. "Ifs a kind of shabby trick," said the pilot, apologetically; "but aa long as there are buckets handy around Stapleton I guess Uncle Josh needn't go without Gulf Stream water." Halloa te Surgical Operation. One of the most delicate surgical operations ever performed was made in Philadelphia recently, it being nothing less than a transplantation of a portion ot the eye of a human being. The obscurity of the eye of a patient, whioh was caused by inflammation, and which produced, in time, an opaque surface. The operation took place under the immediate direction of an ophthalmic surgeon, who witnessed one of the' only two operations of this nature whioh have been performed in the world, in Germany, last year, it being performed by Prof. Von Hippie, of Giessen, Germany. Both of the two previous opera tions were performed by Prof. Von Hippie within a short period oi time of each other, the Professor having first devised, and having had manufactured ior tne purpose, a very delicate instru ment, which, by means ot a olook-work attachment, not only bores into the corner of tbe eye, but also registers the exact depth of the puncture. In this way a small portion of the corner is cut from one of the eyes of a rabbit, and a piece corresponding in size is taken from the afflicted eye of the human patient, both taken from a point directly in front of the pnpil or the orbit. Both the rabbit and the patient are first placed under the influence of the local anaesthetic, cocaine. The rabbit's eye was selected by reason of it 3 similianty to the human eye. beeanse it is a distinotively herbacions animal, the blood of which is less liable to contaminating influences than that of other animals whose food is composed principally of animal matter. A Squaw's Remarkable Journeying. In the last century a Chinook Indian woman, known to Father Huk, a great traveler and missionary of that period, while he was with the Indians on what we now call the Pacifle coast, was many years afterward met oy mm in Asia. Through many vicissitudes and strange experiences, she had passed from tribe to tribe and place to place, always mov ing northward, until she reached lieu ring Strait, and there having gone out in one of the large canoes used by the seafaring Indians of that region in a great storm they were driven across tbe strait to wreck and death to all save her, and she wandered on until she met Father Huk in tbe interior of Asia. She had not sought to return, but fol lowing the spirit of adventure bred in her by her strange experiences, she went on to see new lands.
