lARTtt CHAPTER VIH. OH THE THBE6HOI.D. One thought had been dominant in the heart of Beatrice Mercer sineo the moment that Raymond Marshall's discovery of her duplicity had iTUshed her with humiliation. A bitter, cruel resolve that, come what might, he should never again aee the face of the woman he loved! "Patience!" her fierce heart had throbbed out. "He loves her yet; he knows her to be true. Ho despises mo, but he shall yet love me. I cannot lose him. He shall never find or wed Edna Deane." Then, calming her fierce, rose lute nature to subtle, sinister regard of all the issues in the case in which min jled love and jealousy involved her, Bwrice Mercer fell to studying the chances In her favor. She knew where Edna had gone; ihfi letter that Edna had only half r ad, amid her excitement and anxiety, had been conned over and over again by the plotting Beatrice. Its contents gave her an insight of the character of the father who had f cut for his beloved child, into his secrets as well, and she knew that one of two things would happen when Edna reached home her father would order her to J forget all friends of the past, or, if any letter or word was sent to Raymond Marshall, it would be through her friends. As the days passed by, however, and no word was received, she grew puzzled, disturbed, and finally anxious The evening preceding that upon which Raymond Marshall appeared at the Seminary to find her gone, however, she made a discovery that startled her into a new train of thought and action, unexpected, vivid, exciting. A student living at quite a distance received regularly the weokly paper published at her home, and glancing over this, Beatrice felt the blood rush from her heart through icy channels, as she noted ai item that told her intuitively that she ha 1 found a traco of the missing Edna at last. It was the record of the death by drowning of a man and a girl; the account of the scene at that broken bridge, where the two villagers had seen Edna Deane's companion plunge to his death, and had accredited Edna herself with falling a victim to the same fate. Within an hour, from a careful study of the item and from a knowledge of the route taken by Edna and her guide, Beatrice knew that she no longer had a rival. Edna Deane was dead! She knewsomething more. She know that with the death of these two had perished a mighty secret that somewhere and she knew where, an anxious father wa awaiting the return of his beloved daughter, to lay at her feet, as an atonement for the forced neglect of years, a royal fortune. The next morning Beatrice Mercer's mind was made up. All night long 3ho had plotted, yr-d plfgned; The jealousminded school girl of The rirgi previous had become in a few brief hou a willful, wicked siren, imbued v.itb schemes as bold and cruel as the hardest he art ever yet designed. She went straight ' the town whore Edna and her companion had disappeared. Within twenty-four hours she was satisfied that both had met their fate in the turbulent torrent that flowed beneath the bioken rustic bridge. "Forwealth for Raymond Slarshall's love!" she murmured resolutely, as, a few hours later, she took a train far the next station. Evening shadows were creeping over the autumnal landscape as Beatrice Mercer left the little depot and walked towards the outskirts of the village. ' In the dim liht she made out an antique but magnificent mansion, occupying elaborate grounds, but surrounded by great, high walls. "So near to homo and then to lose life, fortune, and love!" murmured the steely hearted siren. "Poor Edna! Out I cannot miss this royal chance. " Her eyes sparkled as she drew from her pocket a little chain and locket t iat Edna had worn at school and which she had left behind her in her hurry to go to seek her father. She calmed herself, as if for a mighty ordeal, as she seized the bell-knob at the Iron gate and soundodoue resonant, discordant peal through the gloomy structure beyond. "Fairly on the threshold! "she breathed wildly, yet exultantly, as she awaited a reply to her suminons ."one JjoW str,. 'a 3&fal -retforut-G asfbnti&ofl- ind '.tSiall B mattress- of ."WoaStlS "urrtofd,-15 five tne way to tne neart ot tne man love ;Raym,oni .Marshall!'' scrcasi A crabbed-faced man answered the ring at the iron gate after a lapse of several minutes, stared at the veicl figure without, first penetratingly and then without suspicion, and asked, unceremoniously: "Who are you what do you want?" Beatrice Mercer was an actress. She had come prepared to feign a part, and she did it well. All the fire and Impotuoslty of her passionate nature was subdued to 1he seemingly shrinking timidity of a shy young girL lercd out a frightened anal ogy and clung to the "iron gaTo as lr weary ana weaK. "I have come a long ways," sho murmured, "and I must make no mistake. The gentleman who lives here Mr. Caleb Marston. " The servant or helper uttered a sho rp ejaculation of surprise and renewed suspicion. "Who told you that Mr Caleb Marston lived here?" ho demanded. "I I does he not? Then I will go, If I am in error," and Beatrice re treated Quick as a flash the man unlocked the j gate, seized her arm, dragged her inside the overgrown, ill-kept garden, and regarded her much with the angry gltre of an enemy. "No, you don't!" he said. "Whore did you jret that name Marston? M ho told you? Speak! Have they guessed his hiding-place again?" the man half muttered to himself. "I got the name from a letter a lotter from Mr. Marston himself," explained Beatrice. "Oh!" muttered the man. "I'll guarantee he never told you to use that name hereabouts, all tho same. Ita.ston, girl! Do you understand? Never whisper Marston again, if you're friends of our." "Can I see him?" "Can you see who?" "Mr. Mar Mr. IJalston? He sent for me." "He did?" "Yes. Take me to him. He will toll you it is all right. " The man studied a bit. He retook ed tne gate and made sure that no one was lurking about the place. Then taking an enormous bunch of keys from his pocket, he led tho way to the house. A massive, gloomy structure the care he manifested in penetrating the doubly looked portals, Indicated a jail or a castle of defense. It was richly furnished within 'Mir Mi losod an i i-urr d windows and chill pcrvail 11 QpartWMat made tx antitjualed mn ti

sion soem somber, gloomy, and uninvit ing in tne extreme. "You wait hero." Beatrice's guide pointed surlily to a chair in a small waiting-room, and disappeared through a door at its other end: There was the low hum of conversation in the adjoining apartment. Her eyes glowing like t wo sinister stars of light, Beatrice glide ! noiselessly to the threshold of the door that had just closed nois lcssly on hor companion. Her ear bent, she strove to translate the gruff, explanatory accents of the man, the sharp, querulous, excited tones of his companion. When the door ngain opened, however, with the grace und agility of a panther she had regained the chair. "t o in," nodded the keeper, and the door opened and closed after h r, ushering iter into a roo:ny apartment, and leaving her laeo to face with her fato Half reclining in an invalid chair was a thin, white-haired man. She studied his working face from beneath her veil; sho noted the nervous tension of brain and ho ly, for ho was almost panting with excitement, his eyes were keenly alive with uncon ea!ed suspense. "My steward tolls me you eome here with a letter," sj oko the master of the mane'on, in tones scarcely audible from emotion. "Yes," murmured Beatrice. "I have written but one lottor It was to ono I have not seen for years." "Your daughter. Alice Edna Ralston? I am she. l ather!" The plot, the fraud, the false assumption of the fair schemer was revealed at last. Sho had determined to personato Iter dead friend and schoolmate; and the stolen letter had well oquipped hor for the cruel imposture. "My child! '' Sho had sprung forward at that wild, yearning cry. Not a heart-throb of pity for the fond, deluded old man, soulhungry for tho love and sympathy of his lorjg-absent child stirred her heart only fierce, covetous joy and triumph. His real daughter was dead, a knowledge of that fact, in his evident critical condition of health, might kill him. Surely, it was a mercy to step into her i pla-.io, to solace the last days of a dying man, to benefit by a fortu'no that, else, would go to strangers or sordid companions in his inexplicable exile. She knew sho was safe in telling the story she had framed, and that circumstances would carry out her claims. She showed the letter she had stolen from Edna; she told how she and her guide had been overtaken by the storm at the broken bridge. He had perished, she had escaped, and she showed the newspaper containing the account of tho double trngo ly, unconsciously portraying wlint had really transpired, little dreaming that Edna Deane of the past, the real Alice Edna Marston, or Ralston, had not gone down in that weird swirl of waters. But thore was mu.'h to learn. Her path was yet ono of pitfalls, and she must bo secretive, ana yet draw out tho secrets of tho unsuspecting old man who accepted her unreservedly as his own child, blinded by clever falsehoods, the changes of years, nnd her circumstantial narration of events he knew to have happened as she related them. "When you enter this house," he said, you dose a door on the past never to be opened, i'ooi Rodney! he died in bringing you to me. He was my best friend. All these years, amid my Imprisonment, my fugitive wanderings, he has been true to mo. He alone knew where you had been placed. Xow, under a new name, you eome to share my loneliness. Fear not! it will only be for a few brief years. Then, mistress of my fortune, you can go forth into the world and enjoy the liberty denied me." "Father, I do not understand, " murmured the false daughter. "Do not try to. An innocent man, I have yet been called upjn to suffer the penalty of a crime unjustly luid to my charge. Even now, I am a fugitive from justice. Hunted down, a reward Uion my recapture. I sought this secluded spot to die in peace. Here wo will live in quiet contentment, your love nnd care the solace of my declining years. Are you not content with that, Alice, my child?" "Yes." murmured Beatrice, since you will It so." Why not? Life here, surrounded by every luxury, would not bi so arduous that she could not lind some enjoyment in it, and later on! her eyes glowed with sinister triumph, there was a farther p'ot ta carry out, there was Raymond Marshall to think of, the man sho was determined to win, come what might. Imperfectly understanding tho vague mystery surrounding Ralston, sho yet j K.-iuitju uiul in.- wti in tumour ot apprehension for some entanglement of the past. Some day she must possess that secret In full. It would give her added power to sway him to her will if ever her imposture were discovered. : She could scarcely comprehend the rtire success of her imposture as, later that evening, sho i-at in tho boudoir of the suite of ro;ins apportioned to her in tho old mansion. Not a breath of suspicion had been aroused. Placidly, unequivocally had old Mr. Itnlston accepted her as the child he had not seen since infancy. Her puar, li :;e his own, he would never seek to probj or revive. Yesterday was ai dea l and gone as tho ages past. Here sho tould chang her own identity in the undisputed possession of a royal fortune. Ralston dead, that fortune acquire:!, and with her youth, beauty and intelligence, she could go out into tho world und become n queen among women, tread a velvet path through life -she, the poor, obscure teacher on ha'f-pay, the friondloss drudge of Hopodalo Seminary, n-rrtiero vira-ir-rmrlror Tit tiro heart of the rose. (Jonseiciiup did not trouble her. She even justified her fraudulent representation-!. No, all she thought of, all that disturbed her wus a memory of the man she loved. How she loved him Btill!

He asko.i an hour or two of her time each day to read to him in the garden, or play for him in the sreat, somber drawing-room on tho piano. I'.ver under thi shadow of Rom - great fear, he never leit the walled grounds of the estate, and requested her t confhie her long drives to tho unfrequented roads leading away from tha villa jo, A week passed thus, then the novelty of her n- w life began to wear away'. The false Alice lialston, the real Beatrice Mercer, began to grow restless, anxious, moody. Then sho fell to plotting. If she could only drag from that past life the object of her love. JUiyu:ond Marshall, she would bo eout nt. "You are gerting wearied of the loneliness here, I fe.ir," spoko lialston, anxiously, one evening. "No, father. ' "You ar deceiving me. I can road it in your face. I caught you orying yesterday. Speak, my child, If you have any secret sono v." Tho idled eye of t ! 1 . - si en glowed irjuiijphiuit.ly. The hour had onic for a mastef-stroae of iinee.v

"Shall I toll you the truth, even If it disturbs you?" asked Beatrice, in a low, purring tone. "Always, my dear." "I am happy here, only thore is a chapter in my past that haunts mo," pursued the false-hearted Beatrice. "I have friends whom I love, whom I left in poverty, trouble. Father, if I had tho means to visit them, to place them in a position beyond want, I would return hore satisfied, never to leave you again." "Y'ou mean this, my daughter?" "I mean it, father." "As I understand it, you wish to go to

theso friends to bid them a final farewell, and to enrich them?" "Yes." I He led her to a room guarded with an i iron door. With a key he unlocked a ! eabinet. It was stored wi'h moiicy j coin, bank notes, bonds. ' "Yours," ho sad generously; "all j yours. Tako what you want. I shall ; never ask how much, nor care. Deal as j liberally with your triends as you like, I only must you go to them? " "I must, father." ! "Alone?" ! "I will be careful nothing will hnpj pen to me." ' "I shall worry your absence will torturo me." j "Not for long. Oh! dear father, you j make mo happy in enabling me to ina'co my aoarest menus nappy. Jet me go at once to-night, to-m:irro.v. In a week two, at the farthest, I shall return. Then I shall forget them all tho world save you." She had earriod her point. The first impoitant step in the plot of he; life was accomplished. As tho next morning, a little moneyfilled saehel in her hand, she left the mansion bound for Hopodalo, her confident heart told her that she would never return until she had won the man she loved. I TO be continued. I Mow a Finn Sees. The medium in which fresh-water fishes live gives ttaeui a chance to see u great distance only in the horizontal direction and the proper adjustment of the eye would make, under usual conditions, t he optical axis take this direction. To mc it seems impossible to explain the constant revolution the eyeball on any other hypothesis except that given, viz: That the optical axis extends forward instead of sidewise. When a fish wisltes to eat anything, either at the bottom of the pond or at the surface of the water, it swims dirppt.lv toward the nliiecf and jn thjs the oy(?s are instant ly adjusted in line with the body, so as to bring the image of the particle desired upon the posterior portion of the retina. In this ease they lose their usual horizontal position. If a llsh wishes to turn to the right or left in the water, the first movement is that of the eyes in unison with the direction of the turning. This would be entirely unnecessary if the apparent axis was the axis of most distinct vision, as one of the eyes would see all that was to be seen in the side of the -turning. After this movement of the eyes, the body turns enough to bring the eyes into their normal position; and there is again a movement of the eyes, and next a movement of the body. This causes a peculiar jerking motion of the eyeball during the whole time of the turning of the body. Not That Kml. That a poor workman quarrels with his tools has passed into a proverb. It is not often that the lesson of the saying is so pointedly enforced as it was In a New York an; school. The gentleman at the head of this school never failed to rebuke the tendency to lay the blame in the wroni place whenever it showed itself among his pupils. One of the students, who had considerable talent but very little application, found frequent refuge in this excuse, and the teacher was at last at the end of his patience. "I couldn't get the point of ray pencil right," the student said one day, in excuse for a faulty line. "Mr. IUank," the teacher replied with emphasis, "you have been in this school two years. You have the natural ability to do the best work, whereas you really do the worst. If in two years you have not been able to discover that the trouble is not at the pointed end of your pencil, I think you may as well give the whole thing up." "What do you mean?" the student stammered, taken aback. "You know what I mean. The difficulty is not at that end of tho pencil, but at the other. It is not the point but the pointer that needs correcting." Youth s Companion. . Caste Broken Down by Stret-t Cars. Street cars in Bombay are mostly of American manufacture, and the promoters of the street car lines are Americana. When it was proposed, not many years ago, to start .such lines, Europeans prophesied their failure upon the ground that such common public conveyances could not be profitable in a caste ruled community. It was believed that tho hiirh caste man, who will not eat or drink from the vessel used by a low caste man, would refuse to ride in a public conveyance beside his humble brother. In spite of these doleful prophecies the railways were built and equipped, and Jo! the high caste man complacently pays his fare and rides untroubled by the side of any sort of man. The cheapness and convenience of the street cars were too much for even the hard and fast rules of caste. The Thrifty Esquimaux. The Ksquimaux. says a missionary who has been long among them, an; in many respects superior to the Northern Indian tribes. They are not numerous, but their numbers do not seem to be diminishing. They escape the terrible famine? that ne casionally carry off large numbers of Indians, partly because the fool supply of the Esquimaux, con-isting of llsh and seal, Is less precarious than the moose and reindeer on which the Indian depends. The Esquimaux are also more provident, and they lay up a stock of food for a chance period of scarcity. They are more Industrious than the Indian, t ml show greater ingenuity in the -Manufacture of tools, weapons and other articles. What an Inch of Haiti Mcan. Few people can form r. definite idea, says the St. Louis liepab'.ie, of what is involved in the expression, "An inch of rain." It may aid such to follow this curious calculation: An acre is equal to fi,272,fi40 square inches; an inch deep of wate r on this area will be as many cubic inches of water, which at 227 to ilc gallon, 22,000 gallons.

Joaquin Miller on .Tay Gould, I am tempted to give a little side incident of my last interview with Jay Gould ar.d wrestle with Western Union on Wall street. I had seon the stock go down about eighteen points, and so bought 100. It fell five lower and I took 100 more. Five points lower, and I took another, and bo on until I was getting alarmed. I thought Jay Gould under some obligations to me, or at least a true friend, and so Btepped across from my hotel to see him. Ho was kind, quiet and puvry ns a kitten, almost playful, and soon began to point out on hi i maps the line of the new Atlantic cable. Ho himself opened the subject of telegraphs. The occasion was opportune. I handed him a cer

tificate oi purchase of Western Union and asked him what to do, as I was already on the edge of my margin. He looked at wo with a sweet and innocent surprise, as if saying: "Only to think that any man wo Al touch that worthless Western Union." "I am so sorry yon have bought this stuff. My telegraph is tho other line," he sighed at length. "Yes, I know. Bnt 1 bought it because I thought it was cheap, Mr. Gould " "It is cheaper now, Mr. Miller." "And will it bo cheaper, Mr. Gould?" "Well, we" looking ot his son "hate not a share of it. It ought to bo a great deal cheaper." "Then I shall sail twice tho amount. I hold and hedge. Thank you, and good night." And tte next morning I did sell all right md left for the whale bottom eeemet'l to be falling out of Western Union. It kept on tnmbluig and by noon I was even. )Jy 1 o'clock I was not only even, but almost rich. I was a richer man tl an I had ever been before. I remained; a rich man about thirty-five nihmtes. The tide began to set against me. Western Union bounded up with a rapidity that fairly made me dizzy, and by th time the hammer fell in the Stock Bor.rd I literally had :iot car fare left. Having plenty of leisure after that I irrcto down the foregoing conversation, and I have copied it here exactly. I have not seen Mr. Gould since. But I find that at the time he said h had not a share of Western Union he had about 2Wi,000 shares, and was picking it up as fast as he could knock it down. Honor ? I tell you that where phrenologists place the bumps of honor, there must be a ca vity in the head o:' Jay Gould. Cavity? A regular Mammoth Cave. UtlB Mother's Pudding. A man who did not keep in mind that in boybood he ate his food with a better sauce tliau any cook ever invented, was in tbc habit a habit said to be common of making his wife uncomfortable by a too frequent reference to his mother's wonderful culinery skill. Once, however, according to the Boston Transcript, which tells the story, ho was pit to silence for a fsw days at least. "John," said his wife, "I wish yon would tell me just how vour mother made h2r plum-pudding. Tlnu perhaps I could suit you." "Why, sho took some raisins and stirred 'em up with pudding, and baked it Tint's all." "But, John, real plum-pudding is boiled." "Oh, of course. Mother al way boiled It after sho baked It."

"The Royal Baking Powder is purest in quality and hight in strength of. any baking powder of which I have knowledge. "Wm. McMurtrie, Pa. D." The Government Report shows all other baking powders tested to contain alum, lime or sulphuric acid.

Massage for a Lion. The African lion at tho Zoo is now a source of anxiety to his keopers owing to a skin disease he has contracted and to his unwillingness to co operate in all tho measures adopted for his own cure.

The rungazincs and papers which pay for their jokes have regular prices.

A professional joker can make about 100 jokes a week, and as joke making must soon become a habit perhaps the brain is not too greatly tasked in their manufacture. Tobacco lu tho Army. Prof. Horsford tells of his efforts to secure tobacco for tho army durlug the civil war. Upon visiting tho camps at Fredericksburg and elsewhere and asking the soldiers what thoy most wished to complete their happlnoss, ho received this reply, "Tobacco." "Why tobacco?" he asked.

The measure encountered much opposition in Congress and failed at first But just after tlm vAr closed nrovision was made for & ! tobacco ration in the army supplies, and the soldiers still receive it No Occasion for Worry.
