CHAPTER XV. Continued. It does indeed." Frank banded his rein to the Earl, and peered about. ''I can see no hole or corner even whoro they couiil hide," said, after a few minutes' soarchi "Shall we return?" "It is useless staying longer," Roy said With his disappointment; then his brow cleared. "We will come to-night and watch. What do you say?'1 "An excellent plan; by then Geoffrey will have brought the detectives." He mounted his horse again, and they rode slowly back on the p ith. "I suppose it is the animal instinct within me,' Frank said suddenly, "but I feel convinced that the robbery at the castle and attempted robbery last night at the Orange were all one plot, and 1 strongly suspect that foreign Count is in it. Lord DarrelL" "It seems incrediblo," began Roy; then he stoppe 1. "Vlio are these men coming toward us?'' he added hurriedly. Frank looked for an instant, then with an exulam&tiou spurred his horse on. ''It is Geoffrey ami the detectives. How quick he has been!'' The Earl t're.v rein and waited till the riding party approached him. Geoffrey Armistead he knew; but the tali, whito-hah-cd stranger on his left he did not, nor the three others who rode behind. You have traveled on wings, Geof frey, "exclaim ed Frank Meredith, shaking his friend's hand. I did not go to sleep, certainly. returned Mr. Armisteud, greeting the Earl, "and I have worked to somo (rood. too. Frank, our suspicions were correct There is a gang of the- most notorious burglars somewhere about hero. I have brought down Mr. Newton, the celebrated detective, who has been seeking their whereabouts for some time. 'Thev've iust fairlv mizzled me." spoke a Veen-faced man from the three behind; "but I think we have got them now." 'Rut let ma introduce von. Lord Darrell, to an old friend, Sir Humphrey Durant, whom I have met abroad many times, and whose name, doubtless, is familiar to you," added Geoffrey Armistead. Rov grasped the hand the whitehaired stranger held out. it is a name l nave neara an my life. Welcome back once more to your own Sir Humphrey! My mother will oe giaa to see you again." '1 hanks, Lord larreu, answered Sir Humphrey, quietly. "Life is very strange indeed. I was traveling to est ley as quicKiy as trains would bring me, when chance flung into my path my Mend, Mr. Armistead. From him I learnt of the robbery at the castle, the attempted robbery at the Grange and the suspicion that the burglars had talcen refuge in the Abbey ruins, my inheritance. Mr. Armistead 's only tear was that the Abbey offered them actually no pro tection, but I can and have informed of the truth that it is indeed the very home for such a crew." 'Go on, go on!" cried Boy with flash ing eyes. Sir Humphrey gazed at him with a strange expression. 'liOra iarreii," no saitt quicKiy, "i wish to ask you a question; these gentlemen will give me one moment's grace if I draw you aside." Frank and lieoffrey oowea. The old man and Lord Darrell moved apart a few steps. "Koy uarrell," said sir Humphrey, "you have lost more than diamonds in this robbery, have you not?" Koy bit his lip. "Yes." he said huskily. "I have lost my wife." One other question, and I have done. Was that wife precious to you. or did you regard her coldly?" "When x married her. my heart was not mine to give, but since my return here, only one short week, I love her with all my life; she is to me the most precious jewel earth can bold." The old man nut out his hand si lently, and Roy grasped it, his face bearing witness to the heart felt earn estness of his words. I thank you for this," said Sir Hum phrey, speaking as with difficulty. xou iook surprised as, indeed, you may. I will tell you all in full after ward. To be brief now, I will simply say that the girl you have married is no low-born farmer's niece: but the child I sought for many years ago the child of my dead son, Fulke Durant. My granddaughter is heir to all I possess." Roy passed his hand over his brow. "Your erranddauerhter!"he repeated. blankly. "I thought the world thought you had no kith or kin." as 1 nave thought lor manv a dreary day. But, come, we must re turn to the others, x ou shall Know all later on. I was on my way to Darrel Castle to make mvselt known to the child of my beloved son, when I learnt the sad news of her abduction for abduction it must be -and once again I am compelled to wait and hope." we will work- together to hnd her," exclaimed Roy eagerly. "And now tell me you say they tould find nests here?" Indeed thev can." Sir Humnhrev answered as they joined the others again. "Beneath the ruins are series of vaults, some good, large and airy. There, if we search well, we shall discover oxaf birds, I doubt not." Geoffrey Armistead motioned the de tectives on. They each produced a revolver. "Now, remember, if we meet any one, endeavor to seize him without hurt, we do not want to shed blood unnecessarily. " mr Humphrey dismounted irom his horse. "How many years since I have Rtood here!" he said, musingly. "It recalls the boyish davs when I played at nijrh's witn my cousin ana Drotnera ail dead now all dead. ' He stood still for one moment, then led the way round till he halted at the very spot where Frank had picked up the sovereign. This coin was already handed over to the care of Mr. Newton. Sir Humphrey peered about, then looked up. Here is the door," he said, point ing to a piece of stone that seemingly lay on the turf where it had fallen; "it leads to the vaults. Come, 1 will lead y5: -wot vou, cried Koy. "l am young and he " "Beg pardon, gents; but if vov will permit me, as an officer of the law, I must go first." Mr. Newton took up his position, and both Sir Humphrey and Lord Darrel fell back. The two detectives, at their chief's orders, lifted the stone. To their surprise they round it rolled over as lightly as possible, and the way was clear. Rov shuddered as he glanced down the dark passage. Was she. the woman ue tovea, en tombed there? i'rank Meredith pushed forward. but Geoffrev Armistead held him back. "Not so fast. Frank. You remain hero with Sir Humphey and Darrell." The detectives, headed oyflir. newton, crept down the steps and groped their way. ueonrey Armistead went aiier mem. "Remain round here," he said hur riedly to the others, "in case of an escape." Koy flung himself off his horse, and even as he did so, a contused sound came from the vaults. With wild excitement be approached the onirancfl, Uft bawd Mr. Newton' vinoe luwi ages ana ma. "am

He heard muffled Bound of tnen struggling, lo:id exclamations, the report of a revolver shot, and then a woman's shriek. His heart stood still, and he fled down the steps. Sir Humphrey, with face as white as his hair, following, while Frank endeavored to quiet the horses that were tethered together. Geoffrey Aritiistoad pushed Roy back. "Out in the air." he said excitedly, "They arc fiffhting hard; but we have got them, I think." "But she! Good God! sho screamod did you not hoar her? Sho is hurt; Let mo go?" Hoy panted. "Back, I say,'' Geoffrey said, blunt ly,

tnere is no one there nut a man, a boy, and an old woman; it was she who screamed i swear I am speaking the truth. Ah, hero eoraos Newton; lend a hand." Scarce knowing what ho did, Roy grasped a struggling arm. Ho dimly saw a man's form held by Newton and Geoffrey; his eye was wandering over the other two prisoners that were led out. Geoffroy was right. A youth came first, white and trembling, then an old woman, whoso coarse face looked ghastly with its fear: her hands

were linked together, but sho was j towards the dining-room, where a depouring out cries for mercy, all of i juner was spread. "If you will pardon

which fell on deaf cars. Geoffrey Armistead and the detectives struggled with the man and succeeded in forcing him on his knees; then after some littlo difficulty they put the handcuffs on his wrists and lot him free. Roy gazed Bt him eagerly; his heart fell. It was not Count Jura. "Let me search," he said eagerly. "We have searched, my lord," said the detective civilly; "this is all at present. " "Only let me go and I'll tell all," screamed Dame Burden. "Oh, kind gentlemen, good, kind gentlemen, have mercy lot me go. I am a poor, harmless woman." She held out her hands, and Koy, glancing at them, caught them in his. "You were right,' ho cried to Frank; "the diamonds are here, for she wears one see! Then " His voice failed. The old woman tried to snatch back her hand. "You answer my questions," and Geoffrey Armistead advanced to the old woman, drew his pistol, and pointed at her hca4. "Where is the young lady who was brought hore two days ago? Answer quickly the truth, or " Mrs. Burden turned green with fear. "1 will speak I will speak. She went away with George; and oh, sir, 1 swear it I tried to help and g.ve her a sovereign on my honor I did !" Roy and Frank exchanged glances. "Where have they gone?" continued Geoffrey. "Yes,speak," broke in Sir Humphrey hoarsely. "To furrin parts I think to Italy." Roy turned and mounted his horse. "Where are you going?" eagerly asked Frank. "To track them down," answered Rov, madly. GeoiTrey put bis hand on the rein. "can you say nothing.'" ne said to theirisoners who had struggled so Paul Ross lifted his eyes and glared at the speaker, but made no answer. "Do nothing. Lord Darrell, till we have questioned them further. Now to Nestley jail," commanded Geoffrey firmly. CHATTER XVI. Valerie Ross was chatting in her most pleasant manner to Lady Darrell when her quick ears caught the sound of arrivals on the graveled path leading to the castle entrance. She rose and swept to the window; her ?uick eves caught a glimpse of Roy's ace, white and agitated, as he threw himself from his horse, and her heart told her that something had happened. So great was her emotion that for an instant a film gathered over her eyes; she could distingish no other among the group of horsemen below, and when the mist cleared away they had all dismounted and had entered tho castle. At all hazards she must know what had happened. She made some hurried excuse to Lady Darrell, and slipped from the room. In the passage she met Davis Alice's maid. The woman had never liked her, and since her very open abuse of poor Alice, had grown to hate-her. "What has happened, Davis?" cripd Valerie, shrilly, forgetting even her dignity in her fear. "Is anything the matter?" "Nothing that I have heard of, miss" answered Davis, and then Valerie knew she must endeavor to grow calm, or she would betray herself. "I thought I heard a noise," sho said, coldly, "but I dare aav I was mistaken." "I think you must have been, miss." Valerie swept awav. At tho head of the staircase she halted. Should she go downstairs or not? Her movements were soon decided, for at that instant Roy, followed by Frank Meredith and U-eotrrey Armistead, ran up the st all's. "Ah, Valerie!" he cried, excitedly. "Great news' We have captured some oi the ourgiars, and traced t in J i He hurried off, leaving Valerie face to i face with Mr. Armistead. She grew I suddenly pale. ! "Caught some of the robbers?" sho j exclaimed. "How romantic! Where ; and how? Ah, Mr. Meredith, you are j the gentleman who befriended my I Lady Alice the other day. And so they j traced her? Where is she?" i "Safe, I trust," said Goeffrey ArmiWe hiive scotched two of tho j steam villains, the other we shall have tomorrow." Valerie's heart stood still. "Are thev very ferocious?" she asked in a forced laughing manner. "Do they look very terrible?" "They are most ordinary infact.one is strangely like yourself." "Valerie gtjsped, put out one hand and clutched the balustrade. Geoffrey motioned Frank away; he put his hand on Valere's, she opened her eyes. "My brother Paul!" she gasped. "Is below in handcuffs." "My God! failed!" she murmured, wildlv; "what has happened?" She passed her hand over her eyes; then her brain cleared. "Mr. Armistead," she pleaded passionately, "help me, beg. jt y wwttched brother! You know what I nave suffered through him. For God's sake help me now. They know nothing of him hore. 1. shall be disgraced eternally shamed, unless you will aid me. See. I fling mvself at your feet! Help me to escape this." "I will help you on one condition," Geoffrey Armistead said quietly, lifting Valerie from hor humiliating position; "and on one condition only." "Name it!" cried Valerie. "That you confess what share you had in Lady Darrell 's abduction?" She gave a slight scream, then drew herself up. "I don't understand you," she said haughtily. "You insult me by such words!" "Oh no. I doti't," answered Geoffrey. "I am a pretty good judge of things, Madame Valerie, and your own lips have condemned you. What did you whisper just r.ow? 'Failed!' What has failed? Your plan, of course. Come, will you confess?" "Never:" said Valerie, passionately. MJt is all false! I know nothing!" ''I hoar Lord Dorrvll -om'n?.

"No no!" Valerie drew him back.

"I may know something. Give me an hour." "I give .vou till to-nitrht willingly And Mr. Armistead turned uway leaving the wretched woman lost for a moment to all her sell-possession, leeiIng ihat her revengeful plan had failed, yet knowing nothing. Sho went hurriedly along the corridor to her own room, and us she went, her courage returned, and she could have cursed her.olf for her weakness in betraying herself to Geoffrey Armi stead's keen eves. Roy Darrell met his friend with out stretched hand. "My mother is quite upset and ill with all this business. She has sent me' to fc.ch Sirllumphrov. She wishes to see him." "1 huvo been thinking that our best plan wil. be to rido in separate directions, to try and trace the Italian scoundrel: the ot hers had better stay here, n you don't object to .turning your castle into aprisi.u for t he nonce.

Gus Williams was entertained by a party of West Knd ac lualntances af ter Thursday input's performance. The original idea was to have a lit tle euchcr party, but Williams begao to tell stories, and iu that way the night was spent "A country clothing merchant went to the store of Bernbeimer, Hiooru & Co., in New York not long ago," said Mr. Williams, "and before he left be had completed the purchase of a bill to the amount of Si.COO. He paid $2,000 in cash and gave his n ite for the remainder. " 'Vnd now,' he said to the saleman, 'vot vili I ged for a Grismas bresent-' " -I'm glad you spoke, already.'the salesman returned. 'Step right over by the gounder and pi. k fur yourself a handsome silk necktie.' The country merchant was aston ished. " 'What! Do I hear righd?

" 'Four t'ousand, helluf cash arid helluf a note,' returned the clerk " 'Well,' Mr. iiernhelmer con tinued, 'give him bis note.' Thi clerk weat out, deliglted with the magnificence of the gift. When the country merchant heard of it his face fell. '"I nd did he indorse id?" he asked. " Of (ourse not,' replied tho as tonished clerk. " 'Yell, in dot gase,' the rural trader replied, 'I'll take dot neck tie." St. Louis Republic. No Chance to Bo Pious, The circuit rider in the West Vir ginia mountains one day, overtook a mountaineer driving a pair of mules along the road and engaged him in conversation, as was his woo, says the Detroit Free Press. "You will excuse me," said the good man, "but 1 am the preacher on this circuit, and 1 want to know the people who live here. 1 suppose this is jour neighborhood?" "Yes, sir, 1 live down here on Greasy, just heyant the torts," was the prompt response. "I don't think I saw yu at church last Sunday, did I?" ' 'No, sir; hut i usually aim to get thar. Had a spell uv sickness last week an was laid up." "I'm g'ad to hear yoa are a churchgoer, and 1 hope you are a member." "Well, mister," and the native's face showed some regret, "I hain't got so ler along as that yit, 'Bout the best I kin do is to go to meetin and take chances on the balance. " "But why don't you become a mem. ber?" "Caze my business Is agin it" "What do you do?" "I'm a teamster." "Why, that is no reason why you an' shouldn't join the church." "But 1 drive mules, mister, atter ten years at it I'm here to say ! that mule drfvin' an' the Christian religion won't gee fer shucks, an' thar ain't no use trviu' to make 'em. I'm mister, an' whoa, thar, whoa," he broke in on himself as his team went into a chuckhole, and before he got on to hard ground again the preacher was convinced that the native was half right "Blshness is lilslmess."

Mors on the Race Track. Horse-racing has long been an established and popular pastime and now dog racing is coming to attract some attention. A lad named Willie Kelchum of Ontario was the pioneer In this line of sport, s iys the rtlca Press. In 1887 he showed his trot-ting-dog broken to harness. It wa an lr sh setter, who never left a trot and made half-mile heats against ponies. Ho was able to outspeed almost every pony that was entered against him. His challenge was against any pony twelve hands or under, or to give any horse twenty jeconds, the horse t i go a mile and the dog half a mile, the horse to draw a quarter of bis own weight The lad made about $10,000 with his dog in this way. Another boy, named Charley Klnsler, whose home is In Ohio, trained a bulldog to make splendid time on the course. He was not a success, however, because on the occasion of his first race on a fair ground the word go bad iust bf en given when be espied an unfriendly dog tome distance away and be bolted the track and overhauled the object of his chase and could not be ersuaded to return till he had whipped bim on the spot Young Kinslcr gave up teaching bulldogs ana his next venture was with a cross between a Newfoundland and bloodhound, which developed very good speed. Young Kinsler, however, had the test success with setters, aud those that he broke to harness were able to go at quite a fast clip. He made a

tour ot the country lairs and war. everywhere a popular attraction. The business netted him handsome profits and he is spending tho present winter in training other dogs to draw in harness, single, in pairs, and a four-in-hand. Of course, dog-trotting can be at best but a novelty and a side attraction. The two lads who have gone into it have done immensely well with the enterprise, but it is a field that can be very easily crowded, and too much competition will extinguish the business, Devoted to the Golden Bole. Some excitment was created recently at Gonzales in the grand jury room when Jesse Newman, a young farmer, refused to answer somo of the questions propounded. He was ordered before Judge Shooner, who asked him why he would not answer the questions. He said: 'Since my religio is conversion I have been trying to follow the golden rule, 'And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise,' and therefore I refuse to answer the question." The Judge endeavored to persuade him to ansn-or, but Newman persisted in maintaining silence. He was thereupon committed to jail until he consents to give the required answer. Galveston News. ' Protection from Mjlitalnr. It seems strange that notwithstanding tho great advance which has been made in electricity during the last twenty-five years bo little progress should have been made in developing a method for protecting buildings from the destructive effects of lightning. The annual loss of property in the United States from lightning alone reaches hundreds of thousands of dollars, to say nothing of the hundreds of lives which are destroyed bv the same agency. The lightning rod remains in almost exactly the some primitive state in which it was left by Franklin. There is certainly a promising neid here for ambitious electricians. Hlffheet Inhabited spots on Earth. The two villages which have the greatest elevation above the level of the sea, or, in other words, tho two highest inhabited spots on earth, are Arevichiary aud Muccapata, mining camps in the Andes. Each of these places has an average of 200 inhabitants the year round. The elevation of Arevichiary is exactly 17,950 feet: that of Muccapata, 16,153. The observations which established these heights were taken by Arthur Pearce, the engineer, and are reliable. St. Louis Republic.

Disbelief in the ability of medicine to core ia only a mild form of monomania, altboiiKh In some oasea repeated failures to obtain relief from many different sources would almost seem to justify the doubt.

Used with pers atenre, the Bitters will conquer the most obstinate oases. Thnlr Own Property. Honry Wolff, in "The Country Oi the Vosges," says that the people of the little village- of Kufach have a very comrannsenso notion of keeping their own good things entirely to themselves oven such as elsewhere one would prefer to see used by one's neighbors. For instance, when the" had set up a brand new gallows on one of the finest hilltops in the neighborhood, as is the custom in Germany, and an adjoining parish begged to be allowed to hang one of its malefactors on it, it is on record that the Kufachers indignantly denied them, protesting that "This gallows is for ourselves, only, and for our cuiiaren."

The effect of this s' mole threat was magical. Rather than submit to the martyrdom oi listening to the false notos of her imperious spouse, the Queen gave way and instantly removed her spectacles.
