BEST POLISH IN THE WORLD,

CHATTER XII Continued. There vw a dreary lapse of silence, but during its rolgn the gleaming, solnfcillant eyes of Beatrice Mercer told that their owner was not Idle. She was thinking, plotting, preparing to act. Her quick mind grasped the situation readily, the situation she had anticipated, find which she had come prepared to meet. She held the remedy gold. To befriend the father of the man she loved in his dire extremity , to save an honored family name from reproachwould it not win the gratitude of the delinquent son, and gratitude pity, and pity love? 'Sho had other ilnal resources in reserve. She had prepared plans calmly, systematically. This was but the Urst step. Oh! she could not fail. She arose and stole to the door; she poorod -. Thcr: -at ihe stern-faced, implacable lawyer, the fatal documents spread out before him. There, too, wan-faced, wretched, lost, shrank the father of Kayroond Marshall. She stepped boldly across the threshold of the room. Not until she had reached the table and her shadow fell across it did lawyer and victim glanoe up, with a vivid start. "Madam! why " began the former. "I have come to purchase those documents." Her hand pointed to the pile of notes and securities, almost touching them. In profound wonderment the lawyer regarded her. With a gasp of hope, traspense, dread, Colonel Marshall stared at her veiled face. "You have come " repeated the lawyer, vaguely. "To buy those documents!" "Why I do not understand by what right." "Are they for sale?" Her voice rang out sharply. "To Colonel Marshall or his authorized agent, yes, but to a stranger " Beatrioe Mercer turned to the bewildered Colonel. "I am no stranger, but a friend," she half-whispered In his dumfounded ear. "I came to save you," and then aloud: "Colonel Marshall, yon authorize me to act for you?" The half -stunned Colonel could only nod like an automaton. Ten thousand dollars is the amount, I believe," went on Beatrice, calmly. There is the money, see that it is right." She had flashed a heap of bank-notes of large denominations before the lawyer's sight. She took up the papers on the table. "This is the forged $2,000 note, I be lieve?" she said, selecting one from the many papers, Colonel Marshall, it shall never trouble you again." With two twists ol her dainty cut supple wrists, she severed the fatal doc ument in twain. "These other papers I shall keep for a day or two. The amount is correct?" 6he demanded of the lawyer. "Colonel Marshall, you are free from debt and dread alike. I trust we all know how to keep a secret. I would like to speak a few words to you alone." The lawyer had witnessed some strange scenes in his professional career, but the denouement of the present Inexplicable one left him speechless. colonel Marshall, like one in a dream. followed the woman who had myste riously saved him from ruin and dishonor from the room. Then, realizing that he had 'Men snatched from the brink of a precipice, he reeled to a table in the outer office for support, and burst into tears. woman, angelic deliverer! ne fairly sobbed. "Who sent you here? You have saved to me all I bold dear on earth. My tears, my prayers shall be yours till my last breath. I shall teach tny own to reverence you. i sn&u repay Ton dollar for dollar. What con I say, what can I do to acknowledge, to repay this stupendous obligation that erusnes, stuns, mysunes me? "One single favor." "Name it oh! name it." 'Ask no questions, feel no obligations. only ask that to-morrow evening at dusk you come to the hotel and to the apartments of Miss Leslie, and bring your son Baymond with you." she was gone UKe a flash with tne words. The Colonel stood staring after her as if she were some wraith. His yes closed and he swayed like ot.e in a dream. He hastened after her a minute later to demand a more lucid explanation of her strange intercession in his behalf, but when he reached the street, like the fairy in the story-books, she had disappeared utterly. Beatrice Mercer had Hastened back to the hotel. Her face was flushed, her eyes hopeful, exultant, as she laid aside her wraps. bo far all is well, she murmured. confidently. "Now for the most difficult part of the plot." wnen vr. btmms came, ene led mm to a sofa, and for over an hour in low, earnest tones she conversed with him. She told him all her plot, all her de sires. She startled him with her boldness and shrewdness, she dazzled him with the promise of munificent rewards. What a scheme: ne eiacuiated. arising at last, "and all for the love of a man whose heart is buried in the grave of that lost, drowned girl. Beatrice, is the game worth the candle?" i will nave it sor she cried, wildly. Without Baymond Marshall, what is wealth to met You will help me?" "To the lastl" "You can give me the medicine to pro duce the effect I desire. Yon will help me carry out the imposition?" ies. w alt till l go to my omco. " In an hour he returned. Deep and subtle must have been the plots cf the fair and false siren, lor, as he handed her a tiny phial, he said: "You can rely upon it. When Baymond Marshall comes to see you tomorrow, it will be as yon desire. All the pity of his heart cannot fail to go out to the woman who has saved his family from penury and disgrace, for, to all seeming, through the agency of that potent drug, you will be a dying woman!" CHAPTER Xm. a srEiut run. "All Is ready?" "Everything. My housekeeper, whom we can trust, will act as nurse an I is in the next room. I will receive the Marshal) a when they arrive and pave the way for you." "Make no mistake,!" It was the afternoon of the day su seceding that which had witnessed Beatrioe Mercer's strange act of generosity. Beatrice herself, in propria persona, the disguise she had hitherto adopted now abandoned, lay upon a couoh in one corner of her sleeping apartment. She was ho longer disguised, but; there was a change in her from her ordinary appearanee that was most remarkable. Her face looked thin and wretchedly white, her eyes heavy. As Bhe lay back on the pillow, her labored breathing and hectic cheeks seemed to indicate a hot, burning fever. A hot, burning fever she had, but produced by artificial means. This ruthless schemer had paused at nothing to accomplish her ends. To further her schemes an assumption of mortal illness had been necessary, anl her worthy coadjutor, Dr. Slmms, h id not prevaricated when ho told her that the soateata ( thp UCtU phi hp haa lva

her the day previous would bring about the result sho desired. These two had plotted well In unison, and as ho entered the outer room of the suite ho assumed that grave, serious expression of face that the average physl oian wears whilo attending a pationt in the last extremity. He opened the door with warning noiselessness as there came a tap finally. A servant stood there, two porsons at his side. "Gentleman to see Miss Leslie, sir," he announced, withdrew, and Doctor Slmms ushered his two visitors into the room and pointed to chairs, his serious manner evidently surprising them. Colonel Marshall was tho one, his son Baymond the other. The former was all curiosity and excitement. As to Baymond, as he sat gazing vacantly at the floor, his hollow checks, hauntod eyes and dejected bearing generally told that the present visit had no Interest for him. "Doctor Simms!" ejaculated tho Colonel. "Why! I came to see " "Miss Leslie?" Yes." "Miss Leslie is a dying woman, Colonel Marshall. "What!" With an incredulous gasp the Colonel started to his feet. "Yes, she has been ill for some time. 1 was summoned yesterday afternoon. 1 found her fevered, almost delirious. She asked me to reoeive you," "Doctor, you amaze me! This strange lady " "Has an Iron will even in death. Sho has explained everything to me. Sho insists upon seeing yourself and your son, even in her dangerous condition. I told her that the shock might kill her, but she insists." "Doctor! I am at a perfect loss to understand this lady's romarkable generosity in my behalf the mystery surrounding her " "Here arc tho notes she took yesterday. She bade me destroy them In your presence." "Wait! Don't! I really cannot acoept all these favors from a stranger. " The Colonel spoke too late. The documents were blazing on tho hearth. He was a free man! A stranger had liberated him from all the financial entanglements of the hour.

"Dootorl" he panted, "this mystery is maddening. ho is this lady? "You will be surprised when you know. Come; you, too, Mr. Marshall," to Baymond. He advanced to the door of the sleeping-room and tapped lightly. The nurse oponed it. Awed, startled. Col. Marshall stood in the center of tho apartment, gazing dubiously at the figure lying on the couch, its faoe turned from him. Quite as curious and interested for the moment, Baymond Marshall looked up, too. "Miss Leslie has asked mo to explain to you why she has interested herself in your behalf," spoke the Doctor, in calm, measured accents. "Her act has been one in a measure of atonement, of compensation for a wrong dono a member of your family." "Ha!" exclaimed the Colonel with a start, "she must be, then, some relative ot the wretch who robbed mo who encompassed me in all this trouble, my former partner!" "Not at all. She simply deceived a member of your family. Sho is familiar with the troublos of your son, as well as yourself, and she desires mo to impart some mournful information to bun. Mr. Marshall, will you kindly read that artlole?" The Doctor had handed to Raymond Marshall the newspaper which h:d first set Beatrice on the trail of Edna Deane.' It chronicled her death at the mowladen bridge. So accurately did it describe Edna and her attire, that, as Baymond Marshall perused it, with distended eyes and ashon face, he could not mistake the truth. With a wild cry he sank to a chair, tho paper fluttering to the floor. "Dead! dead!" lie walled. "AH hope, then, is lost!" "What may all this havo to do with the lady here?" began the astounded and mystified Colonel Marshall. "Muoh. This ordeal Is trying, fatal to her, but she insists. Nurse, turn up the lamp. Colonel Mr. Marshall, your benefaotress, the lady who makes an atonement for a great wrong, is " "Beatrioe Mercer!" In surprised accents from the Colonel's lips, in a gasp of incredulity from those of Baymond Marshall, rang the name simultaneously, as tho pretendod Invalid turned her wan features toward them. Dying features they were, to all semblance. The Doctor's art and her own deft acting earned out the intended effect completely. "Baymond!" she fluttered, in a weak, wailing voice. "Say that you forgive me. I did wrong in deluding you. I even sought to find Edna and restore her to you after my cruel deception, but she is dead. A distant relative loft me a fortune. The only restitution I could make was to aid your father. I am dying. Tho only reward I ask is that you take my hand and forgive me for it nil." Baymond Marshall stood like one in a dream. All the post flushed ovor his mind. This woman had, indeed, wronged him, but still she was not nocountable for Edna's death. As bo thought of all she had dono for his father, as he fancied lie read a noble remorse in her words and deods, a generous impulse drove him forward. He felt her burning hand twitch In bis own. He did not doubt, after all the Dootor had said, that sho was a dying woman. "You did me no wrong except to torture me with a passing belief in tho faithlessness of the woman I loved," ho said. "For love of you!" murmured Beatrice, fervently. "Baymond, I can tell you now, for I shall soon die. I was not to blame for my love, and I had not Edna's gentle nature to endure in silenco. I loved you so hopelessly, yet so fondly!" His eyes dimmed with tears. Love was surely no sin, even when hopeless. His great heart stirred with honest pity. "I can die in peace, now," she said, "for your eyes tell mo that I am forgiven. Baymond, good-by good-by!" Her eyes wore raining tears. Oh, actress deft and subtle! oh, hypocrite strong and confident! pitting all the issues of life upon tho frail cast of a die. She turned hor face t- the wall, her sobs causing tho sympathetic Colonel to wince with honest pity. Baymond looked conoerned, grieved. "Can wo do nothing to make hor happier?" spoke the Colonel, deeply affected. "Can I not tell her how grateful I am how some arrangement must be made for tho repayment of tho money advanced?" "She would refuse to consider it," responded the Doctor. "But no! I had better not mention it," "Speak, Doctor!" urged Iho Colonel, eagerly. "You were about to make some suggestion?" "It concerns your son. This morning this poor creature wailed her honrt-sick-ness over her love for him. Sho cannot survive the night, and yet I think she would bo infinitely happy for that brief period of time if she knew that you Forgive mo, gentlemen, my task is too difficult to complete." "If she knew what?" demanded Baymo:id, softly. "If you would consent to wed her. Nay, sir, do not start. A dying child's wish; you need not gratify it, only she has left all her fortune to you." "I will never accept ltp dissented Baymond, Indignantly. HTriA law w(T) mnlfa VA11 This. w . V"' ' ' .,, ...WWW f . girl's devotion is pitiable, piyt bsr

your name, render hor dying moments happy. It is not muoh to do, for befoM morning you will bo a widower." The plot was out. This was the deft design two olever schemers had planned. Tho unsuspecting Baymond Marshall never dreamod of a new deception. "Baymond, do It; it will quiet talk when her will Is read. Poor creature! her devotion Is Indeed pitiable," spoke the Colonel. Baymond Marshall thought of the woman dead and of all his love for her; of tho woman dying and his pity for her forlorn helplessness. "What does it matter!" he murmured, dejectedly. "My ltfe is gloom the future aimless. If that small ceremony can brighten this dying girl's moments, Dootor, I will many her!" Tho clover actress on the couch thrilled wildly. At last, reward: at last, suooess! Herhourof triumph had come. I TO BE CONTINUE!!.)

Too Busy for Knmltr. When I hear men or women attributing a lack of success in any direction to the machinations of their enemies, 1 involuntarily smile at the egotistical assertion. People are in general too much engrossed, each by his own affairs, to malce any very active war against each other. Jealous, envious, rancorous they often are, but to wage positive hostilities, they are for the most part too Indifferent. This proneness to attribute our mischances to enemies is merely one of the refuges of our self-love. Admitting possible exceptions, it may be said emphatically that we are none of us anybody's enemy but our own. We are all, however, our own enemies. The tongue that truly detracts from our credit and glory is our own tongue; the hand that most mercilessly despoils us of our property is our own hand. All the real murders in this world that is, apart from the mere commonplace killings of men and women are self-murders. Conceit tells us a differpnt tale, and we are too ready to lay on ihe flattering unction. Hut all great successes, all the grander triumphs, will be in proportion to our seeing the truth as it really stands; namely, that the hardest obstacles, the most real dangers, lie in the perverse impulses of own nature. A Protest. I have yet to see the wife or sister of a taveling salesman who referred to his vocation as that of a "drummer," or did not wince when his name was coupled with the phrase. And yet the word is used in connection with every business man who travels, whether he be a salesman or not. A "drummer" is one who solicits trade or "drums" trade. In the minds of most users of the word, aside from the employers, it is consciously or unconsciously the vehicle of a large proportion of contempt for the personal character, serious distrust of the probity, and genuine doubt of the truthfulness and social worth of the biped referred to; little wonder, therefore, that self-respecting salesmen object to it. The word should be abolished. As for the justification of its use because it is derived from the word "drum," no scholar will endorse "drum" as a correct or refined word to express the act either of soliciting or selling merchandise. lie Found the Title. Wilkic Collins had written the last chapter of his "Woman in White," and no title for the book had been decided upon. The day of publication approached, but the title still eluded him. One morning he took himself off to Broadstairs, determined not to return until it had been found. He walked for hours along the cliff; he smoked a case of cigar, and all to no purpose; then, vexed and much worn out by the racking of his brains, he threw himself on the grass as the sun went down. He was lying facing the North Voreland lighthouse, and, half in bitter jest, half unconsciously, he began to apostrophize it thus: "You are ugly and stiff and awkward, and you know you are as stiff and awkward, and you know you are as stiff and as weird as my white woman white woman woman in white the title, by Jove!" A title had been hit upon, and the author went back to London delighted. Is the Colonel Yeraeious? "I fought a battle once with wooden oannon, and I won it, too,'' said Col. J. C. Gailor, at the Laclede. "It was during the Mexican war. I was sent out from Santa Fe with a scouting party of twenty-four men, and wo were headed off near the Mexican line by 'DO of the most villainous-looking greasers that ever cut a throat or shot a brave man in the back. We got into a woodod gorge and threw up a biea&twork of loose rocks and earth across the mouth of It. I felt sure tho Mexicans would make a rush for us that night under cover of the darkness, and decided to fix up a surpriso for them. We curried a small chest of tool with us, and in the outfit was a long-stemmed two-Inch augur. We felled six tough oak trees, sawed off a section of tho stems and transformed tbe:n Into cannon. We loaded them wflh pistol balls and flint gravel, mounted them and waited. Just before daylight the Mexioans came. We waited until they were within fifty yards, then opened on them with our battery. You never saw such a hustling for tall timber in your life. Artillery was the last thing they expected to encounter, and when those wooden cannon opened on them they scattered like sheep." Globe-Democrat. Hunk Monk Was OvreHtliiiated. Said a Nevada man: "Hank Monk was greatly overrated as a stage-driver. I have known scores of better ones. But his getting Horace Greeley over the Sierras and down into Placervlllo 'on time' gave him great notoriety. It was a dreadful drive, and that it didn't kill the old editor was no fault of Monk's. The road was slow and rough, and Hank was full of tarantula juice when he left Carson. It was about twenty-six years ago, and Hank was 33 years old. He died a few years ago, something over 50. In the goodness of Greeley's heart be presented Hank with a gold watch, which he many times pawned, sold, and managed to get book. But there were so many ridiculous exaggerations and right up and down falsehoods told of that ride that Greeley became very 'tired,' and, In reply to a request of Hank, some eighteen yoars ago, for some favor, Hornoe wrote: 'I would rather 6ee you 10,000 futhoms in hell than ever give you a t rust of bread, for you are the only man who ever had the opportunity to place me In a ridiculous light, and you villainously esercised that opportunity, you scamp!'

MATTHEWS AND NYE

A spocial from Indlar.apolls, dated the Oth Inst., says: Claude Matthews was Inaugurated Governor and Mortimer Nye Lieutenant-Governor) of Indiana, this afternoon. The ceremonies were appointed for 1:30 o'clock, but It was later than that hour before they took place. The south corridor of the Capitol was tho see ic of the Inauguration, and a distinguished body of men and women collected ns spectators. The corridors upstairs and down, stairways and other places ! the capitol afforded a fine field of observation. The decorations were Imposing in th'itr simplicity. On either side of the dome beneath tbe skylights the courts were rosplondeut with the national colors, the bunting being suspended from above in many teautlful folds. On tho upper GOVERNOR MATTHEWS. floors the Dags were of the largest pattern, while those below were more numerous though somewhat smaller. Some of the columns were also gracefully twined with red, white, and blue. The two courts were draped alike with t he exception that the one south of tbe dome, where tho inaugural ceremonies took place, ooru tho additional decoration of the Sta te seal, displayed on a large silken banner of blue. This was suspended directly above tbe platform, and showed to the best advantage the retreating buffalo and the vigorous woodman plying his ax. Prior to the inauguration, the two House!' met separately for a few minutes. Tho Son ate was called to order at 1:40 p tn. The President of the Senate announced that It was In order- for tho Senate tc proceed to the place of Inaugure.l, the" body to be met In tho corridor by tho members of the House, the senators to return to the chamfer after tho inaim:ural ceremonies. Tho doorkeepers then arranged the members by twos, i.nd proceeded to the corridor to meet tlie House. Tbo Hojse did not meet until! 1:30. It had just been called to order when the doorkeeper of the Senate apoeared and announced that the Senate was waiting tn tbe corridor to join the House. The membors of the House arose, and, forming by twos, marched to the corridor and took place: in line in tho rear of the Senators. The band, which bad been stationed on the second floor, began to play, and the Senators and Representatives marched north along the second floor corridor and down stairs to the seats prepared for the members of tbe two Houses In the corridors under the skylight At 1:45 the members of the Legislature, ths senators beading the column, marched into tbe court and filled the seats provided for them, tbe senators being itlven the front places before the rostru n. The galleries abovo were filled with on-lookers, and the human figures contrasted with the radiant colorings of the d aperies, formed a beautiful and animated scene. Tho attendance of ladies was not large, but enough were present to show that tbe sen took an Interest in the ceremonies The band, with a full complement of pieces, enlivened tho time of waiting by playing a number of inspiring pieces. Seated on the platform were Senator David S. Turpie, ex-Governor Albert G. Porter, William H. Enirllsh, Governor Ira J. Chase, Mrs. and MUs Matthews, wife and daughter of the Governor-elect, the Sttte officers. Including member:! of tho Supreme and Appellate Court and others. Governor Matthews and LieutenantGovernor Nye appeared upon tho .rostrum at 2 o'clock, escorted by a Joint Committee of the Senate and House. They were greeted by a pleasant recognition, which appeared to be strictly nonpartisan, as the Republicans joined their Democratic colleagues In the applause. The escort consisted ot Temporary President Griffith of tho Senate; Speaker Curtis of the House; Senators Holland, McGrogor, and Wishard, and Representatives Cullop.Sulzcr, and Redman. Preiddent Griffith called the joint convention to order and prayer was offered by the Rev. Joseph A. Milburn, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, of this city. Theto were noises about the corridors, talking and moving feet upon the tiles, which prevented tho hearing of the prayer by thoso of the audience who were t,t any distance. Ho prayed for a blessing upon the people of the State and upon those who were to take up the great duties to which they had teen called. The roll of senators and representatives was then called, Roll Clerk Waltz calling the senators and Acting Chief Clerk Kewklrk the ' representatives. President Griffith declared a )uorum of both bodies present, and Judge Reinhart, Chief Justice of ths Appellate Court administered the oath to Governor Claude Matthews, who then spoke, his address partakiug both of the nature of an Inaugural and a message to the general assembly.

Hnntlng a Wolf on Snow Shoes. Here is an occurrence that took place in the highest part of Norway: A Finn, who was herder to a large number of reindeer, had lost some of his master's deer by the attacks of a big wolf, which one day caught one belonging to himself. The deer taken by the wolf was the best one belonging to this man his pride and joy, so ho swore that the wolf should pay for it with his life, and, knowing that it would soon come back for another nvil, he kept on the watch with a gun, accompanied by another deer-herder, both in their usual skin drenses and on snow-skates. The wolf duly came and the hunt commenced, at first over a plain, where the animal gained a little ground, then up hill a little, so that it had still greater advantages ; but as the descent commenced the Finn gained, his companion being not quite so quick. Unfortunately, the descent was not long enough for the shepherd to get near enough to shoot, and a long plain lay before them, so he threw his skin cloak away, and was thus able to increase his speed; but, as he still felt that the wolf had a chance of escaping, he also dropped his rifle, knowing that his companion would pick it up. This enabled him to get nearer to the thief, and, as the ground again began to be on the descent, he was sure of his prey. In the middle of the falling ground he overtook the wolf, and, while passing it, lifted his staff and gave it such a heavy stroke on the back that tho animal at once fell exhausted, and was dispatched with bis dagger. The story is quite true, and shows what skill in snow-skate running is possessed by the Finns, and how little they fear a single wolf. A Close Call for His Ufa. The funniest incident and the closest shave for life I ever saw were combined at a corner-stone laying in Newark. The corner-stone was a very largo one. It was swinging in the grasp of a powerful crane abovo the hole left for it to fit in. Down iu this hole an Irishman was fussing about with a bed of mortar. Suddenly a portion of tbe tackle slipped and down camo tbe stone with a run. It lit on the Irishman's back, and everybody expi2'fi? see blm flattened out thin as Pap f f i- the stone was lifted a minute lat' V-" r '"'"nor was the stone clear of thfJ-J.i?' ' ' Hau the man sprang up llki ... x. He was covered wlthr "eaU to root, and was coughing, sneezing, and spitting to get It out of his nose and mouth. As soou as he could speak he addressed the men managing the crane. "Here now! Here now!" he yelled. "Ol can stand a joke as well as any mon, but any of yees can have mn job afther thot," and he put on his coat and went away, perBuadcd the highly rospectatlo assemblage had put up a job on him. Brooklyn Eagle, Is It An Unlucky Coin? The superstition about the number 13 being unlucky Is put to multiplied test In the new twenty-bve cent pieces. On one side ot the coin there is no less than ten repetitions of the number 13. There are thirteen stars, thirteen letters in the scroll held in the eagle's beak, thirteen marginal feathers in each wlug, thirteen tall feathers, thirteen parallel lines in the shield, thirteen horizontal bars, thirteen arrow heads in one claw, thirteen leaves on the branch In the other claw, and thirteen letters in the words "quarter dollar," There hasn't seemed to be anything unlucky in the thirteen original States nor In tho thirteen stripes on tho Hag, and now It remains to be seen if tho man who gets his pockets full of these new quarter dollars will be anlucky.

A captain who was ono of the bchoolBoard In a New England seaport town was visiting the school ono afternoon, and heard tho class read from Webster's address at Plymouth. 'Who was Webster?'' asked tho Captain. "A statesman," said one boy. "An orator," said anothor. "But what is a.states-man?" asked tho Captain. "A man who goes around making speeches," answered a small boy. "That's not just exactly right," said the Captain, smiling. "Now I eo around making speeches once In a whilo, but I'm not a statesman at all." "I know what a statesman Is," spoke up a bright little fellow. "It's a man who goes around making good speeches.

Photography of the heavens has revealed stars Invisible to the naked eye or through tbe telescope, and now Mr. Edison Is thinking of a phonograph to catch sounds unheard by tbo human ear. Once captured by the wax cylinders of the phonograph these sounds will bo returned to the listener intensified to a degree sufilctent to make them easily audible. In the matter of inventions it Is a curious fact that Professor Bell's latest dlvice ot importance, tho "ivatherphoue," for locating leaks in water-pipes, was suggested to him by observing a plumber's apprentice endeavoring to find a leak by moans ot a small steel rod which he held in his mouth and touched against the pipe.
