CHAPTER X. DEAD OR ALIVE? Ghostly fell the snow! like a curtain, a shroud, it had clcsed about the devoted form of Edna Deano that wild, tempestuous night, when the poor child of destiny had sunk exhausted and despairing at the very threshold of pafetv. The siren-hearted Beatrice Me:.-ccr had sped to sunshine, luxury and gald, with no thought ot the real fate of the girl whose name she had assumed, whose loyal lover she had determined to win. More merciful than she, the soft snow had drifted gently over the inanimate wanderer, striving to shut out from the rigor of storm and tempest the frail form that had succumbed to the chill of winter like a tender lily. Upon that same eventful night another figure braved the storm, and, breast ing its fierceness, took his way along the same road, down which Edna Dearie's dumb guide had so nearly led he:r to shelter. "A night to get housed. I pity tho homeless or belated!" breathed hearty, puffing John Blake, as he struggled through the deep drifts. "Ah! nearly home. There's the dear old wife waiting to welcome me with a warm supper, I'll warrant." Farmer John neared the unpretentious cottage that resembled a Laplander's hat, with its eaves hung deep with snow festoons. A doleful neigh from the wagon-shed aroused his humane heart, however, to turn from his po th. fie found there the exhausted animal that had led Edna hither, bestowed the wandering brute in its stall, and started again for the house. Ho, there, my dear! sang out the blnff, great-hearted old fellow, aa he made up a huge snowball and sent it six feet away dashing against the door of the cottage. It opened. An eager, motneriy iaoe showed in the lamplight. "Dear, dear! is it you, John? l-ve been so worried. Always a boy, throw ing snowballs and singing out lite a pi rate. Will you never mend? "Never while this jolly snow reminds me of our schoolaay sielghrides, and your pretty, blooming face, you dear old girl!" retorted happy John. "Come, throw me a broom to beat a path, so I won't be dragging the snow all over that rag carpet you uuns more ot tnan you do of me." "Did you ever!" "Been lonesome?" sang out John, industrious'y sweeping a path to the door. "Terrible! Did you just come, John?" "Did I just come? You wager I haven't been promenading around for fun, with snow chuck two feet down my neck, and that nice warm supper on the table!" "Because I thought I heard some one cry out a bit ago." "Pigeons, maybe." "No. It was a human cry for help." "Pshaw! Fancies. The wind toots like an engine-whistle to-night lawsy me!" i. - -"?n uttered a sharp cry, on juiled. The broom fell . j, .nd, and there he stood staring blankly down at the ground at his feet. "What now, John?" ejaculated his wife, peering, too. "Something in th path. Bag of oats a sheep no! Jane, look!" He had leaned over to examine the object at his feet. His great, soulful eyes glowed like two stars. Into view he had dragged a human hand, limp and nerveless. A soggy dress-sleeve followed and then a terrible cry rang from his wife's lips. Out into the snow she dashed. Down beside the inanimate form, disenshrouded from its snowy mound, she knelt. "John! John!" sh'e wailed, peering into the white, cold face of the insensible Edna Deane "It's a woman a young girL Oh, John! look at the bonny face," and the quick tears rained down in wild, motherly pity. ' Oh, John! deadoraUve which? CHAPTER XI. PLOTTERS IS COUNCIL. The false Alice Italston. the real Beatrice Mercer, went straight to Hope-4 dale after leaving the home where she had found a father and a fortune. She took no risks in her movements. Balaton did not know of her destination, had not known that ah: was at the Hopedale Institution through the years Bodney, the man who had died at t he bridge, Mb friend, his advisor, had the sole charge of placing the real Edna at the seminary, for, as Beatrice knew, when father and daughter had parted years before the former was a fugitive from justice. She hid told the anxious Balaton that she would return speedily. She had secured a large sum of money. She made sure that no one followed her to the train. To break any possible trull she changed cart at a large city midway to Hopedale and made several myterious purchases at a costumer's and at a hair dresser's shop. When the next morning Beatrice Mercer alighted from a sleeper on the rain at the nearest railroad town to Hopedale, and took a carriage to her borne, her best friend would not have recognized her. For she was completely disguised. She had come to ast a part, and she hid come fully prepared. In dress and face she had effected a marvelous change, and when she reached the Hopodule hotel and ordered a suit of rooms, no one formerly familiar with the trim, neat figure and rather attractive faoe of the half-pay school teacher of Hopedule Seminary, about tho village, would lor a moment have suspected the true Identity of this new Beatrice Mercer. She had come hither with an objeot, a definite object. She had come to seek a trace of the man she had loved, lliiymond Marshall, She had resolved to win his love. Ruthlessly she had striven to destroy his faith in Edna Deane, as ruthlessly she had covered tho trail of die young girl, when she disappeared, she had robbed her trusting friend of name, father and fortune, and now (the would steal her loyal, broken-hearted lover from her. This was her plot, and her spirit never quailed at the upbra' dlngs of an outraged, hardened conscience. "He shall be mine! Wealth is nothing without him," she had told herself, and forthwith she set herself at work to consummate her designs. She had money that could buy Information, cooperation. She had an ally in reserve, and after remaining in her room to rest until noon, she dispatched a messenger for Dr. Baphael Bimme. This man was a j hyslcan who resided near the village. He was a hard, coarse-featured man of about 10, and her .only living relative in the world. He had a very small practice, for people generally disliked him, but he combined with bis profession a mortgage loaning office, and cared very little lor anything except money. A half cousin of Beatrice's father, these two had rarely met cne another, but Beatrice knew the man fully, and comprehended that she could rely on his secrecy anci ix-operation where there was moneyed reward assured him for his services. At about 2 o'clock la the afternoon Doctor Saphael SJmms was ushered

I into tl into the parlor of the suite of rooms at the hotel occupied by Beatrice. Ho evidently supposed ho had boon sent for hy a patient, lor bowing awkwardly to ner, no jooiea Bomewiiat; puzzlod, as he said: "You are the lady who sent- for me? "Yes, Doctor," rt'sponded Beatrice. "Youareiil some frieud " "No, I wa:it your personal services, not your professional advice. You do not know mo? Look! Her visitor started violently as Beatrice removed the false front of hair and her glasses for tho first time, re vealing her true identity. "Beatrice Mercer!" he ejaculated In genuine surprise. "Your cousin. Y'os. I need aid. do not know a person in the village can trust but; you. First, I desire com plete secrecy. Next, certain inforina t!on you oan glean for mo. Perhaps i week's attention off and on will do. For all this I will pay you SCOtt." " You will pay me! " gasped the petrifled doctor, wondering if tho friendless girl he had known as a dependent at the seminary had taKen leave or ner senses, "Five hundred dollars. Are not my words plain enough "Whore would you get that sum of money? His incredulity nettled Beatrice. "Out of my pocket-book! Five one hundred-dollar bills. Couut thorn. Take thorn; they won't burn you. I pay you in advance. She had extended tho amount in ques tion. Its unexpected possession, the munificence of tho reward, fairly stunned the Doctor "I can't understand how you come to have so much money, he began. "Don't try to." interrupted Beatrioe, impatiently. "Briefly, I have come into possession ot several thousand dollars. I choose to spend tho money as I like. I offer you $500 to help mo. Do you agree? Yes, indeed First, my identity and plans are to be a dead secret between us, now and hereafter. "Trust mo for that." "Next, you are to obey me implicitly. "With such pay for my services, I am your slave! "Very good. First and foremost, I wish you to go now, and at once, and learn all you can about the whereabouts of Raymond Marshall. Jh! ejaculated the iioctor, with a start "I don't think he la in the village." "Then ascertain where he ia." "I'll t-y." "Next, find out about the whispered financial complications in the affairs of his father, OjI. Marshall." "That is more easy." "And report progress to me as soon as you can. "There shall be no delay." Dr. Simms departed. Beatrioe looked excited, suspenseful. "The ball set in motion oh! with a trusted ally and unlimited wealth, I cannot fail in the scheme I have adopted. " She counted tho hours until late in the afternoon. Her face underwent vivid changes of color and expression as there was a knock at the door finally. "Come in!" It was her ally. Dr. Simms. He looked tired and excited. "Well?" she demanded imperiously. "I've had an afternoon of it" "Y'ou have found Kaymond Marshall?" "He returned home this morning," "From where?" "From a fruitless, heartbroken quest for that girl he was spoony on at the seminary the one who disappeared so mysteriously. " "Edna Deane, you mean?" "Yes; that's tho name. He's been searching for her everywhere, negleotIng business, growing so thin and pale that they say ho is fast breaking down." "And his father?" "Added trouble there! Dark rumors say that his business integrity is at stake, that a financial crash threatens. I made circumspect but close inquiries. He is at tho office of ihe lawyer now, striving to adjust affairs. Y'ou see -" "You need not tell me more," interrupted Beatrice, impatiently. "I know more than you do, probably, about that. At the lawyer's office?" Bhe continued, arising nnd putting on her wraps. "Report to me here about eight o'clock this evening." xou are not going? "To the lawyer's office myself." She left the hotel alone. In ten minutes she entered the outer room of the offices of the lawyer her informant had reierrea to. She sank to a chtir near to the halfopen door of the compartment marked rrivate. adioln'.n,'. Than she bent her ear and listened eagerly. loices soundo 1 quite clearly. Her eyes glowed with satisfaction as she realized that accident had enabled her to enter the olllce and linger unperceived. Her heart beat quicker as she recognized the broken, pleading tones of Colonel Marshall, Kaymond s father, and the words he uttered were: "Ten thousand dollars! Impossible! I tell you that unless I have time, un less those documents are suppressed or destroyed, I am a ruined man!" "Just in time! I shall win. Evorythings favors me!" fell in a baleful. triumphant murmur from the lips of the confident Beatrice Mercer. CHAPTER XIL 9AVEO. Beatrice Mercer drew nearer to tho half-open door, as those ominous words sounded forth: "Unless those documents are sup pressed or destroyeJ, I am a ruined man! A strong man spoke them, but the voice, whilo mournful, bore a token of pleading, despairing agony. The listener Knew that the speaker was tho fa'her of ilnymond Marshall. What she already know of his business complications had brought her to Hopedalo. It was through the father that she relied upon reaching the son. i here was tne rustling ot papers, and then the lawyer's voice reached her ears: "I am very sorry, Colonel Marshall, but I havo my orders to aet. " "Y'ou can defer action." "I would violate my duty to my clients if I deferred it a day longer." "Then " "To-morrow I go into court and submit these document. They represent a personal indebtedness of $0,000 They represent your indorsement for $2,000 more. The distressing feature of the latter amount is that the alleged maker of tho note denies its validity. In other words, it is a forgery." A groan rang from tho lips of the unhappy man. "You are right," he murmured in a hollow, brokon tone of deep despair. "My personal indebtedness does not worry me. I should never have been called upon to bear it, for I never personally contracted a dollar of it. Howover, penury, destitution myself and family might honorably endure, but dishonor, never! If that two-thousand-dollar claim is presented in court " "You will be accused of fcirgory." "Which I never committed!" oried thu Colonel. "You believe me?" I "I certainly do, but will a jury? Those documents go in as evidence, on their faoe showing you are responblblo for them." ! "But I have explained to you! Thai scoundrel of a partner of mine drew out of the firm a few months fiince on the pretense of ill-health. Ho took nearly all the ready cash, and net until after he had got safe in a foreign land did 1 learn t at the aliened valuable assets he had left as my share of e basirtesa

wore only waste paper. Worse than the burden of dobt, he left those forged notes. I hypothecated them. Now 1

am accused of uttorintr thorn!" "Can you not take them up?" insin uated the lawyer. "Impossible! I have vainly tried to Dorrow. My son, a dependence usually has lost all interest in business and wanders about half-crazed over the dis appearance of a heartless jilt. No, ruin stares me in the face worse, the pris on-aoaK, dishonor, death! "I am sorry for you." That was all the lawyer oould say. I TO BE CONTINUEU The Ilaby Had to Go, Too. A man, a woman, and a biby the man and woman on a tricycle and the baby sleeping in a basket swung from two arms in front of the ma chine were going up the west, drive In Central Park yesterday morning, says trie jNew iork World. Several pack ages were strapped to the machine and the man and woman were dressed as If for an outing. It was quite early, not yet o o'clock, as they camt up Eighth avenue and entered the park at 59th street. The few people who were on the street turned tc gaze at the queer outfit, and smiled as they caught sight of the infant it its swinging basket Above th basket was a canopy like that of a baby carriage. At the entrance tc the park the man stopped to tighten the straps on a package. He was sun-burnt, athletic-looking young fel low with pleasant gray eyes and a full dark beard. Ills wife, who sat behind him, looked pale and thin and was dressed in blue flannel. "Yes," he said, in answer to an inquiry, had this ' machine made to order. My wife's health has not been good lately and we decided to take our va cation in this way, and," turning u his wife with a smile, "of course w couldn't leave the youngster behind Wife said he would have to go too, so I had the basket rigged up for him. No, we shall not camp out. We ex pect to travel morning and evenings and rest in the middle of the day when it is hot, and at night we shall put up at some farm house or country hotel. We expect to be gone about two weeks, and have no particular des tination, but shall travel about in a leasurely sort of a way and try to get back my wife's health. Name? On, no, never mind that; but don't you think it is a good idea?" A Coetom of the Fast. Western people, who are eminently practical in their ideas, are doing away with the custom of baring heads at funerals, giving as a reason that it endangers the health. Aside from this a funeral, as it is conducted nowaday, often leads to serious re suits. A delicate, member of the family, who, perhaps, has not been out of the house for weeks, worn down and prostrated by the care and grief incident to the loss of a dear relative, is subjected to a long, slow rido on a cold, inclement day. Custom has had its way; the victim following the custom, thinking it a duty, returns to her home, not to go out again un til she is followed over the same road to the last resting place by perhaps others who fall victims after her. "I am a comparatively young man," says a physician, nd yet 1 have not lingers enough on which to count cases of this kind that have come under my observation and in my own experience, and I have resolved to raise my voice against this custom whenever and wherever I may have the opportunity." Moorish Locusts Feed Man and Beast. The British consul at Mogador, while on an excursion inland, about a day's journey from Mogador, met nights of locusts. He says It was an astonishing and interesting though painful sight, the air 'being in some parts so thick with them that they formed a dense living brown fog, through which he could hardly find his way, while they so completely covered the ground that the ut most caution was necessary in wanting, as he could not ten wnetner he was treading on soft sand, hard, slippery rock, or what. Many birds feasted on the insects, in cluding large flights ot gulls from the sea, and beasts evidently enjoy their share, for in the middle of the densest swarm he saw a fine red fox dancing about in the most frantic manner, leap ing and snapping up dozens of locusts in the air, until, seeing the stranger, he suddenly dropped on all fours and quickly vanished in the live fog. Not only did the barbel get their share ol tne novel food (the consul used the locusts successfully as bait for them) but some of the fish of the Atlantic were found gorged with locusts which had been blown off the land by easterly winds. As usual, they were extensively eaten by the native population, both Mohammedan and Jewish. She Knew Him Best. A portly woman with a fat valise at her feet and a bundle at e; ch elbow was laboring wa) to indite a telegram in the waiting-room of the Grand Central depot, says the New York Sun. Sho blotted two or three blanks, stuck out her tongue as she started In on the date, and her mental distress was so evident that a gentleman who was waiting for the pen kindly observed: "Perhaps it's a verypo:r pen, ma'am, and if you will permit' me I will write the dispatch for you." "Oh, thank you, sir; Lut but " "It won't be tbe slightest trouble, ma'am." "I know, but this is to my husband, you see, and he is a very peculiar man. He got cheated out of $600 once by a patent-right man, and now he is suspicious of everybody, and has got to be talked to just so. There that will cover the case, I guess. He'll know this Is from me." And showed him a telegram to be delivered In a town this side of Albany which read: "If you don't send me $10 to Harriet's I'll bu n the barn the day I get home." Out of the 'Question. Many pleasantries are written and spoken about the oapriciousness of female servants, but it is doubtful if, as a clasa, they approach in oaptlousness the male domestic servants employed by the rich. Good male iiervantn are hard to get, and proportionately hard to please. A gentleman hod engagod an English valet do chambre at good wages, and everything had apparently been satisfactorily arranged, when the man said: "Might I bask, sir, if I'm to wear livery, sir?" "Yes." "And what color will tbe weskit be, sir?" "Red." "Oh, Indeed ! Then I cawn't tafco the place, sir. I'm much too blonde, you know, for to wear a red weskit, air!" Youth's Companion. On the Western prairie is found what is called the compass plant, which is of great value to travelers. The long leaves at the base of its stem ate plaoed, not flat, as in plants generally, but in a vertical position and present their edges north and south. The peoullax propensity of the plant is attributed to the faot that both surfaces of its leaves display an equal receptivity for light, whereas the upper surfaces of the leaves of most plants are more sensitive to light than tho lower; the leaves thus assume a vertical position and point north and south.

A legitimate Use for Retired Prize Fighters. In a New York barroom ft neat, dapper little man with a prominent ncse and keen oyes has been pointed out by men about town to their friends as Billy Edwards, the light-weight champion. Ho is no longer a prize fighter but a jieaoe officer. "Pleasu don't refer to me as a 'bouncer,' " he said, smiliDg. "I am an anti-bouncer. My duty is to keep other people from bouncing. Tins is a very largely frequented place, where necessarily everybody of decent exterior if supposed to Lave the right to enter, and, with all the care that can be exerted, men will sometimes show that they have more liquor stowed ttway in their holds than they can sail with in safety :o themselves or with comfort to the surrounding community. Tho imperative rule is that no drink shall be given to a man who shows intoxication ; but liquor afiVcts people sometimes with strange suddenness. A man may look aa sober as ft deacon, ami three minutes later be fighting drank. Then, of course, the barkeeper shuts down on him and the chances are that he swears to take another drink or die. I believe most men'want to fight when they get drunk. Well, when a man issues that sort oi a proclamation I try to discourage him. I talk to him kindly, respectfully, but firmly, of course, and get him to leave. Every possible effort is made to prevent an encounter. A fight hero would be a very serious thing. Not only might the throwing of a siuglu giass tlo thousands of dollars' worth of yes, I might almost say irreparable damage to some of the many costly pictures about the walls, but it woultl sliC'ck, disgust and drive away gentlemen. I have never had but one fight here in all the time I here been on duty, which has been since this place s';arteel in its present style. That was on an election night, when there were clouds of whisky in tho air. A man, who was top heavy, was sparring with a frienel before the bar. Neither that nor fencing with sticks is ever allowed, here. Both are liable to lead to bad results. I requested hira to stop. He became violent. I had to pot him or.t. I was pushing him to the door as considerately as I could, when, at a mcment when I was quite unprepared to expect anything of the sort, lie struck aie heavily on the left eye. That was ho'v it began. A couple of minutes later I carried him down the stoop and

laid him gently on the sidewalk." New lork tun. Sliarpenlne; Knives. The itinerant knife-sharpener is not a good ru in to trust with a finely tempered or really good knife. His father used to carr;' round a good supuv of water, and with tais ho kept his wheel wet, so that it could not possibly heat or destroy the temper of the knife. That this la necessary can bo testified to by anyone who has tried to sharpen a knife on a Mono without either water or oil to moisten it; and the farmer would never dream of rubbing his scythe with a dry whetstone. But the modern intinerant knil'esharpener does not use water at alt , He sharpens the knife on the dry stone and by means of a little rubbing he gets a feather edge which has every appearance of sharpness, but which breaks off the first thro the knife is used, leuvinga ragged edga much worse than before tne muddler took hold of it. To sharpen a knife properly It is necessary to keep tho stone wet all tho time, and any arguments to tho contrary are the result of a desire to save trouble and time. Sit Louis Globe-Democrat.

This used to be taught in books, and, although not orthodox now, is still accepted as gospel ty many.

So far as the nails are con cerned, then, the renowal process is repeated about tweuty-one times during the regulation seven years, and the theory is thus destroyed, even if no other proofs of its falsity were forthcoming.

Strongest, Purest, Most Economical. As to whether any of the baking powders are equal to the " Royal," the official tests clearly determine. When aarhples of various baking powders wera purchased from the grocers, and analyzed by the United States Governrflent Chemists and the Chemists of State and City Boards of Health, the reports revealed the fact that tits "Royal" contained from 28 per cent, to 60 per cent more leavening strength than the others, and also that it Was more perfectly combined, absolutely pun, and altogether wholesome.

As most of these powders are sold to consumers at the same price as the " Royal," by the use of the Royal Baking Powdetthere is an average saving of over one third, beside the advantage of assured purity and whoieaomeness of food, and of bread, biscuit and cake made perfectly light, sweet, and palatable. i The official reports also reveal the presence, in other powders, of alum, lime or

sulphuric acid, by which their use is made a matter of grave danger to the consumer Wbfntver a baking fptudtr ts sold at a hy?er frice than th hfiayai," er with 4 pft, it it a etrMift indication that it it mad from alum, and ts to it avoidtd under all circumstances.

Vurtittlity. The BiMe seems to bo full of strangely pat local illusions, and so pointed are they that even the truly reverent person cannot always avoid calling attention to them. Near Cheltenham, England, Is a small vlllago named Chosen, and there one Sunday in the little church preached a new vicar. Possibly in innocence, or it may be to please the good village loik, he gave out as his text the words: "And make all thy chosen people joyful." Before he had time to begin his sermon proper, however, a yeoman from a distant parish broke out, to tho consternation of tho clergyman and the amusement ot the Chosen people themselves: "And what about tbe poor Ilucklecut folk?" Preferable. Many of the brilliant statesman of France have had tho gift of torse, witty expression. It has served them when elaborate arguments would have been far less impressive. When Tin pot was minister some one enthusiastically advocated a certain method of raising money for the government. Turgot disposed of the subject shortly and vigorously. His judgement was known to bo good, and little more was beard of tho tax In question after he wrote on tbo memorial: "It would be safer to execute the author than tho project" A Hard One to Answer. The, long-haired caller in the editorial room was indignant. "Poets are born, sir," he said to tho eminently practical editor. "Of course they are," responded the editor, suavely, "you didn't imagine I thought they were hatched, did you?" "I mean, sir, they are born; born, sir. Do you understand?" "I think I do," and the editor rubbed his chin reflectively, "but why are they?" That was the s.raw that fractured tho spina! column or tne camel and the poet stalked out of the den. Free. Press. Not So Bud as Siberia. Once during a ball at the court of St Petersburg, under Nicholas, o,n officer brought a grand 'duchess to the floor, at which her highness called him furiously a "clumsy came!." The officer thought himself lost when tho grim Czar approached him, seized him by the cuff and marched him deliberately out of the ball-room. Not a word was spoken until they reached a passage in which stood a panful of powdered chalk. "Rub tho soles of your boots Into that." said the Czar, sternly. Frank rJUitor. The editor of a certain newspaacr was very busy one day, with a heap oi news and editorial manuscripts before him awaiting his attention, when a longhaired young man came in. The visitor deliberately produced some papers from his insido pocket and remarked: "Ahem! I havo hero a few verses " "Yes. yes!" exclaimed tho editor. "Will you do me a favor to put them over there in that waste-basket yourself? You sco I'm very busy just now!" Of Course. Mrs. Bayview Is the blue grass of Kentucky really blue? Col. Kentucky No, it's green same color as your blue sea, you know. New York Weekly.
