CHAPTER XVIII.-Continued. "My dispatches will be sent you at the old place, and in the old cipher. You do your part faithfully, which I know vou will, as your life depends on it; ami to prove to you that I am your friend, and wish you no ill. I will deposit $3,000 to your credit in the Highland bank, and mail the certificate to your address. Or, if you succeed in the plan you have for keeping Patterson in New York until after the wedding, you can return here, and I will pay you the money in person. You know you can trust me. With that sum you and Bhe can go into some ipi"r camp beyond the Rocky Mountains, and, safe from discovery, you can both spend the rest of your days in atoning for your sins." Groundwig could not conceal the emotion of his feelings during the time Charles was giving him these instructions. He was overcome with the intelligence so unexpectedly imparted to him. He was ready for the encounter. He had ao great a personal interest in its aueoess that Charles bad no fears but the outcome would be all that both could desire. CHAPTER XIX. I FORGOT, I FORGOT. Never was disguise more complete. An associate of a lifetime would not know Silas Groundwig as he sat in the office of the steamship company on the arrival of the city of Borne. Two trusty villains were with him. Will they succeed in their hellish scheme? Groundwig is long-headed, adroit, and ounnlnp. His plans are not maturied. He must act on circumstances as they present themselves, and there is no danger, but he will act quickly and resort to any means to accomplish his purpose. The tugs are coming to the dock with the steamer's passengers. Louis Patterson is one of the first to land. He hurriedly calls a cab, gives directions about his baggage, has a moment's conversation with the cabman about a matter which must be private, for he asks his question in a whisper, is driven to the postoffice, inquires at the general delivery lor letters, there are none, he turns pale, looks anxiously about as if to find somebody who will make an explanation, almost totters to a cab is driven to a jewelry store on Broadway, alights, goes in, and, after a brief conversation with the proprietor, unlocks a handbag which he had all along grasped tightly, and exposes to view a rich collection of precious stones, which he desires to dispose of. Groundwig is near by, sees the display, steps out upon the walk, calls a policeman, has a few words with him in a low voice, nods his head toward Louis inside the store, the officer enters, and, putting his hand on Louis' shoulder, makes him his prisoner. bv the officer, and Louis is marched to ! tfi ateMnn honsn. ml thn next mnrnThe valuables are ta ten possession of the station house, and tho next morn ing is brought before a magistrate for examination. Groundwisr and his assistant villains having been held in custody as witnesses, appear and testify against the young man. Ground wiflr giving the assumed name of Robert Newcomb, swore that he took passage on the City of Rome, - from Liverpool to New York, on its last trip, and when some two days out from the American shore his state-room was entered and the diamonds and other precious stones the prisoner had offered for sale yesterday were stolen; that tne prisoner was a passenger on the same trip and knew the witness had tho diamonds in his possession; that upon discovering his loss he suspected the prisoner, but was unable to obtain proof that would warrant his arrest; that he continued to watch the sus pected party and called the shin's defective to his assistance; that the two followed the prisoner from the steamship to the postoffice, and then to the jeweler's, where the property was taken out of a satchel by the prisoner and was being disposed of to the jew eler wnen tne arrest was made. 'Mr. Newcomb, do you recognize this property as the same that was stolen from you on board the city of Home?" asked the magistrate. "iao, your nonor," answered Mr. Newcomb. The detective was sworn and cor roborated Newcomb's evidence la every particular. The ieweler tes tified to the property exposed in court as the same offered to him for sale by the prisoner. ' The officer swore he arrested the prisoner while in the very act of selling the goods. "This seems to be a very clear case." said the magistrate. "Please stand up. What is your name?" "Louia Patterson, if your honor, pleas j." was the answer given in such a pleasant voice and with such a mannerly bow, that tho magistrate, the officers ana spectators began to look npon the culprit in the dock with more interest than they usually take in such cases. "Prisoner, have vou any witnesses?" asked the magistrate. "The prisoner looked confused and replied; ".None, your honor, but t would liko to be sworn and tell my story' The magistrate swore the prisoner. and he commenced to reciting thn storyof his. being kidnapped, shipped on the Lucky Star for India, of the start home, of the shipwreck, landing on the shore of an unknown continent. of his sickness and apparent death, of his restoration to life, oi his travels in that vast country, of his search for re clous stones ana his good luck, of is taking passage on the citv of Rnmn. of his landing in New York on yesterday, his attempt to dispose of some of the stones for ready money, and an tinSualifled denial that the property bemged to Newcomb. The magistrate heard the story rough. He had been a magistrate in a bur city too long to be influenced by such a narrative. He had heard them before. Turning to the prisoner he remarked: "Young man, your story is altogether too fishy. It won't wash. You are gived to romancing. When you get out of this scrape, I advise you to turn an honest man, quit stealing and go to writing novels. With such a remarkable Imagination and with the skill you possess to tell a story so well, you can mane more money witn your pen than with your burglar tools. The officer will take you back to jail to await the action of the grand If you have friends who aid you, the bail bond will be put at $3,000." " Those diamonds are worth more than that sum. Are they not good security for my appearance whea

Ynnnor man. nro vou crazy.' Arc not those diamonds the property of Mr. Newcomb, and not yours?" responded the justice. " I forgot, I forgot," said tho prisoner. And tho officer marched Louis Patterson to jail. It was no time to moralize on the wickedness of men. It was no time to conjecture why neither his mother nor Mary had written him, as he had requested in hi cablo dispatch. Things were too serious, anil the present required tho perfect control and command of all faculties. Somebody was plotting and he v;s the victim. It might be the continuation of the old conspiracy, or this ono might stand alone by itself. No matter. Something must be dono and done quickly. How and what vras the puzzling question. His first thought was to send for some perse n who know him. He ran over in his own mind who of his acquaintances raislit be in New York. He could not call to mind a single person in that groat city that knew him or he knew. But stay. There is Captain Bodfis:i, of tho illfated "Lucky Star." Ho could corroborate a good part of the story ho had told the magistrate. How to find him was the question. He asked tho guard if he knew Captain Bodfish. No, he did not know him, but if Louis wanted him to come to tho jail, and would give tho street and number where he resided or did business, ho should be sent for at onco. Louis knew neither. Look in the directory. Yes, tho name of Bodfish is there, and so are several ot the same name, and which is the one Louis wants. That information he cannot give. Will tho jailer send a messenger among the shipping and find out who owned the "Lucky Star" that was wrecked on a foreign coast some two years since? "If the owner is ascertained, ask him for the address of theCaptain Bodfish who was master of that ship when it was wrecked. If he can bo found, bring him to jail, and he will soon clear up this crime." Louis' wishes were gratified. A messenger was sent as directed. It was not many hours before Captain Bodfish, who, as luck would havo it, had just mitted to the jail, and Louis was taken from his cell in the captain s presence. Louis was overjoyed to seen his old friend, and rushing up to him in tho most cordial manner, sought to grasp him by the hand, but tho captain turned'aside, and coldly refused to aocept the prolfered recognition. Louis was dumbfounded. His feelings were hurt to tho quick. "What! My old comrade in danger and distress, in suffering and disaster on sea and land, refuse a friendly shake of the hand, when God knows if ever man wanted a friend in need, I want one now!" "Charles Manning, "replied tho captain," I wish to havo nothing to do with you. You deceived me once. "You gave me your sacred word when we parted in Boston, that would I loan you monov to reach your friends, you would return it in a week. From that day to this. 1 never hoard a word from you. "I do not know what crime you are charged with, but I warrant you it is stealing, because the mate of the Sober Fritzt old me he suspected you of pilferingfrom him while on board that ship. "It is enough for me to know that a man who was my mess-matoin encountering dangers and hardships of a fearful shipwreck, violati.-d his word of honor, and refused to redeem a pledge to repay the small amount of money I loaned him. I suspect you, too. of a groat crime, Dut .? b only suspicion, I will not name it. Tl OU must seek other assistance to aid you, for I will not give you even enough to pay a night s lodging, though I judge thut paying for your lodging is the least of your trouble tonight. "Good-bye, Charles Manning." "Captain Bodfish, hold for a moment, for heaven's sake, don"t turn away without a chance for me to say a word! I am not Charles Manning, I am Louis Patterson!" CHAFTKK XX. CHARIES MANNING VS. LOUIS PATTERSON. Captain Bodfish had groat difficulty in controlling his feelings. First came the belief that ho was lining imposed upon in the most wicked mauner. Then suddenly would flash into his mind the quostion? "Suppose ho is really Louis Patterson?" But the scene in the cabin on that far-away slioro came quick with its answer: "Louis Patterson is dead." So firmly believing, the captain replied: "Go on, with your bare-faced deception and your base and wicked falsehoods as long as you please, but you must talk to others, not to me. I will not listen. Vou havo deceived me once, I tell you. You will never deceive mo again. Black-hearted impostor! Kxi ,.nQi ui ,.,! 'ri u ' . i of the noblest and purest young men that ever lived. "Charles Manning, yon and I left the dead body of Louis Patterson on that distant shore. "When I sailed on the Sober Fritz you sailed with me. Together wo left the dead with his Cod Were you not completely lost to every feeling that makes a friend respect the memory of his dead comrado and messmate, yon would sooner call upon these walls' to fall and crush your life out of yqu. than to claim for somo vile purpose to be that saint in Heaven." "Captain Bodfish, as God is my judge, and as 1 expect to answer some day to Him for every act of my life. I swear to you, and if 1 swear falsely. I call upon that God to strike mo doad horo at your feet, that I am Louis Patterson." "Charles Manning, I " "Don't I beg of you, call me by that name again. Turn away if you will, leaving me hero to the fate that is so mysteriously enveloping me, but don't tell me I am animposter. I say to you, Captain Bodfish, f am tho man that was left for dead in that cabin by tho &oa. I was poisoned, but by whom I do not know. I was restored to lifo by tho physician's daughter, who gavo mo tho antidote, and would you but listen, I would tell you all about my travels bofore the Sober Fritz came tho following year, and rescued you and Charles Manning." "I do not wish to hoar you. Don't I know that you and Louis Patterson were insuperable, and don't I know that you can toll his story as woll as ho could tell it himself were ho to be raised from the, dead? You have the same smooth tonguo that captivated the crew on the Sobor Fritz, but you must not expect to again charm mo with your cunning palaver. "Now that you talk of poisoning, let me tell you that on several occasions I have caught myself suspocting you of poisoning young Patterson, and I am now more than half iuclinod to that opinion that the diamonds and other jewels he had laid away so carefully to bring home to his mother and his affianced, were stolen from him by you, ana you nave just now summonea up , u T f ' captain Bodfish, a thought strikes ! me. Now do listen for one moment to ! what I havo to say. You think Louis Patterson's jewels were stolen from ! him by Charles Manning. In that bus- ! ricion you do Charles a groat wrong. ' know nothing aboht the evidence you I may have to base the suspicion that he I pqlojed Lpuja Patterson, but" 1

"No more. I will not listen to suoh

trash," said Captain Bodfish. "Captain Bodfish, ono question before vou go. Do you remember one dav examining those rough diamonds and admiring two of t hem that were so much ulike no one could tell the difference?" asked Louis Patterson. 'I do," the Captain answered. "May I asked another question?" asked Louis Patterson, and the young man looked piteously and imploringly into tho Captain's face. "Yes." "Did Louis Patterson insist on you accepting one of these stones as a gift lroin himr "Ho did," answered Captain Bodfish. "Can I ask still another question?" inquired Patterson. "Yes, yes; go one; what more?" "After Louis insisted for some time that you should accept one of the ! stones, and you persist I'd in refusing it, aid you linaliy consent to take it." "1 did. and' havo it now in its rough st..te," said Captain Bodfish, "in my necktie, and I presume you have its mato which would only be additional evidence t hat you stole Louis Patter son s diamonds, ana n tar as tne conversation had at that time isconcerned, what could be more natural than for Ixiuis Patterson to tell it all to you?" TO BE CXINT.INUED. 1 THE STORY OF A FAILURE. it Shows How the Thing Works When Money Is Short. The story of a small failure a small one, but the system is the same In many of the large ones. He had $25 due him, but he was short of ready cash. So he borrowed $5 of A. The money was still due him, but he was short again. So be borrowed $7 of B and paid A the $5 that he owed. That made his credit good with A. He did not get the 2o that was owed to him, as was expected, and he wus hard up again. He borrowed $10 of C and paid $7 to B. His credit was now flrsr, class with both A and B. The roan who owed him the 325 put him off again, and be went to A and got $15, of which fie gave $10 toC. He borrowed 910 of B and $10 of C, and paid $15 to A, still further improving his credit Then the man who owed hiin $25 paid hini $5 on account. Of course he couldn't pay either B or C with that, and before he had figured out just what he would do In the matter he had found another use for the Sro. Fallinir to get the remaining $20 when promised, he got $15 from A and $10 from I), thus working in a new creditor. Of coursed he paid B and C with that Next he tried B and C each for $15, paid the $25 he owed to A and D, and then received $5 more on account from the man who owed him. At this juncture D discreetly ! dropped out on the ground that he needed all the ready cash he had, and A said that $10 was the most he could loan on account ot increased personal expenses. Ten dollars wouldn't pay either B or C, and when he figured out his financial standing he found that his books stood about as follows; Dr. Cr. X 815 A 810 B 15 C 15 Total S10 s Then he failed, and somehow he felt that there was something wrong with the financial policy he had pursued; especially as X had left the city without paying the $45. The failure didn't get Into the courts, but it was a failure, nevertheless, and many a larger concern has failed from similar causes. Chicago Post Small Fortune Between the Cracks A cigar dealer was recently compelled to move from his down-town stand, which he had occupied lor thirty-five years, because of the demolition of the old building. He packed his beloncings with many a sigh of regret. When he had got his things all out be turned to the workmen, who wore waiting to begin tearing down the building, and remarked in a rather sarcastic tone: "Well, boys, you may have all you find In this old trap." Tho workmen began on the old floor, which had been worn inlo hollows by age. It had not been replacd since it was originally laid. One of the men ripped up a board with his crowbar, raising a cloud of ! dust. When he got it out of his eyes he saw something shiny in the crack. He picked it up and It proved to be a dime. Further investigation revealed the fact that the crack was lined with silver. This was an incentive to the work, men. They plied their crowbars with remarkable energy for men poorly paid. In this instance they were amply rewarded. In every crack of the floor silver dimes were found. Some of them bore dates of nearly half a century ago. The men gathered the coin in hand fuls. The cigar dealer in speaking of the occurrence, said that he hadn't the slightest idea that, so much mnncv Would be lost through carelessness and a poor floor, even in thirty-five years, "But It won't happen again," he added. "When I heard of it I Immediately gave orders to have my new store refloored with hard wood and no cracks, at my own expense." N. Y. Herald. Christine Xilsson's Husband.

Quizzical Great Sinn. Daniel Webster was ono of the great men who like to mako remarks of a character intended to puzzle simple minds. Stooping one day at a country inn to dinner on his way to Marshfield, he was asked by tho ho3tesa if he usually had a good appetite. "Madam," answered Webster, "I sometimes eat more than I do at other times; but never less." The inhabitants of tho village where this profound Hibernicism was uttered have probable been at work over since trying to comprehend its exact purport. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher is Baid to have brought about a great overhauling of Bibles and concordances by remarking, at several hotel and boarding-house tables where he had taken a chance and indifferent meal, that "we should eat what is sot before us with fear and trembling, for conscience' sake;" and many persons were, no doubt, greatly delighted to learn that they had caught a great divine in a misquotation of Scripture. In A Child's Hospital. It was always expected that new patients would cry for at least half a day. Umberto was a rogue who seemed to take delight in prolonging this period of intiation. He was an Italian boy of three, with a large head, big brownhalf-wondering and half-roguish eyes, and tho crookodest logs, which made him waddle like a duck. Once it was noticed that even on the second and third days after admission some children in his ward would be crying for homo uBin the very beginning a thing explained only when tho tricks of this young rascal were discovered. He would watch unt il all was quiet and the nurse had stepped out of tho ward for a minute on some duty, and then would call to the new comer, "Say, say, doan you wan' to see you' mudda?" Whereupon the floodgates would open once more. Harper's Young People. Energy-Saving Appliance. An energy-saving appliance was noticed in an open carriage on Broadway recently. It was an open-faced watch iastened in tho bottom of the carriage so that tho occupant could soe the time of day by merely glancing down.

The lady who Bat gracefully oil the rear 6eat kept her head very erect, and did not evou sway as the carriage rolled over the pavoments. If she ever unbent sufficiently to look at the watch at her feet it was not while she was within sight of the reporter, nor was it easy to imagine that she would do so. -New York Sun. Questionable Compliment. A candid and well-meaning professor, who had witnessed the performance of a little play in a private house, in which his hostesB had takon the leading part, met the lady as she came from behind the curtain. "Madam," he said, rushing up to her, "you played excellently; the part fits you to perfection." "Oh, no, professor," said the lady, modestly: "a young and pretty woman is needed for that part." "But, madam," persisted the professor, "you have positively proved the contrary!" The Chinese, The Chinese can remain in one position an indefinite time, have no consciousness of monotony, can do without exorcise, are impervious to noiso, can go to sleep at any timo and in any attitude all because they have no nerves.

An Incident in a Dark Tunnel. Two young married men in the Salem excursion to Newport last week played a rather sweet joke on their wives. Before entering tho long tunnel at Elk City each was sitting with tho other's wife. They agreed to exchange seats in tho long tunnel and each kiss his own wife. Well, they did as agreed. One of tho young women screamed terribly and attracted tho attention of tho whole car, and all had a hearty laugh at her expenso, when the light broke in noon her, resisting fiercely and in her husband's arms. The other one kept perfectly still, and she and her husband had a good laugh on each other, when the light broke on them. Sho said she did not know but what it was her husband, and did not want to give it away if it was not. Salem Journal. What He Heard. "Fine sermon, wasn't it?" asked one of Farmer Peters's boarders, referring to a scholarly discourse with which the Meadville meeting-house congregation had been favored that morning by a city clergyman. "Mebbe," returned Farmer Peters. "Why," persisted the boarder, "that man knows more about the Bible, he has made a deeper study of Biblical history and geography, than almost any other minister in this country." "Has he, now?" inquired Farmer Peters, mildly. "Well, then, Ireekon the trouble must've been with me.

We find a few forks figuring in the treasury of John II., Duke of Burgundy; and Gaveston, a favorite of Edward II. of England, owned, says an historian of the timo, sixty-nine silver spoons and three forks for eating pears with. At this epoch they had but two tines, and it is from that circumstance that is derived their name. "Sponging House." A sponging house was a house kept by the Sheriff's officers in London to which a person arrested for debt was taken, and where ho was kept for twenty-four hours before being imprisoned, so that his friends might have a chance to settle the debt.

Royal Powder, through the action Naval Etiquette An English Admiral who was once vising a French flagship laid down his quid on a convenient bulkhead before entering the officers' quarters. When ho came out again ho was astonished to find the quid in the place where he had left it. "Pooh!" said ho, in the hearing of some of the sailors, "you Frenchmen will never bo true sea dogs.
