The Chinese who have connections pot in their places of business were at first tt little nervous concerning the mystery of a voice sailing over a wife and would stand from the "phone as far as the receiver would permit, but the "unnatumlness" of the system is gradually working off and seemingly all will be in working ordei before many days.

CHAPTER XIII. Mrs. Onllunder nns rhvply woundeil mid linniiliated liy her son' refusal to hold any coiniiiuuititioii wirh her. Her first care was that i one slioiild sttsprct the i-slraniteineiit. Fur this olijeet, miller the advi.-e of lier t-U-rit-ul counselor, Bho reselviMl to winter nbrmul, siinewtiere on the Riviera, where it iiiinht be supposetl Colonel I'nlhiniler would juin her. She spoke frankly to Henrietta Onkeley, but to no one else. The syniimtlielic feelinc for Dorothy, for her grandchildren, which seemed to soften and hiimnnIze her at first, hardened into her usual Imperious coldness. Why should she distress herself nlxiut the sister and children of a woman who had so turned her son against her that the desperate grief of the mourning widower refused consolation from his own mother? Callander bid both Henrietta and his sister-in-law farewell with more composure than thoy expected. Ho thanked them briefly for their kindness, and promised to write from time to time. When he was gone, the two weeping women took counsel with Standish, Henrietta describing the dowager's unfriendly aspect. It was then decided thnt Dorothy should take up her abode with the children, as soon as Mrs. Callander had

left the hotel, while Miss Oakeley went up to town, and, with the help of Stantlish, should find u suitable house for the winter, as Henrietta Oakeley's last original idea was to devote herself to "that dour Dorothy and those sweet, motherless pots!" To Staudish she was quite confidential, and remarked with her usual amiable candor: "Of course. London is the best place for us. If Herbert comes Iwtek he will, of course, come to Ixindon, and if I want a little change, I can eusily go to and fro. Then Mr. Egerton, after the first wretchedness of this terrible affnir is (last, will probably renew his attentions to Dorothy, who had much lietter marry him; and London is the best place for a trousseau." "You are looking rery far ahead," returned Stamlish, almost amused ut her practical view of things in spite of her sincere sorrow. "It does not strike nie that Egerton has much chance. Dorothy never liked him much, and now this cruei grief seems to have turned her in some inexplicable manner against him." Ready money is the true Aladdin's Lamp. Before its potent touch mountains themselves and difficulties' melt awajr. In two days Miss On kelpy had found a suitable furnished house, large enough for her ncils, and somewhat old-fashioned, In a street leading from Kensington Gore, near er.ongh to Kensington Gardens to insure the children air and exercise, and sullieiently removed from the noise of the main roadway to lie quiet. Miss Onkeley was solacing herself with a cup of tea after a long day's shopping and transacting various busimws connected with the house she had taken, when Standish, who had been with her in the forenoon, was ushered into her sitting room. "What hna happened?" was her question us soon us she looked in hi face. "Callander has given them the slip. He is off by himself to Paris. I found a note

from his men of business at my rooms when I returned after leaving you ut the house agent's this morning, and on going there heard that he bad started this morning, leaving very distinct direclious respecting money matters, letters, etc. He had spent several hours with them the day lefore yesterday. He had n short codicil put to his will, and regulated some affairs; among other things he directed that in what concerned Dorothy I was to be consulted. Dobson, the head of the firm, quite laughed at the id of his not being able to take care of himself. He said that, though terribly crushed and depressed, he never saw a man in ti more thoroughly sane condition, Callander left an address in Paris, and will write from thence. He sent off old Collins to Ponlsea. Dorothy will be horribly frightened when he arrives." "And Mr. Egerton, what does he say?'' "Egerton seems in a bad way. I went round to see him and found him very queer. Callander sent him a noli-, saying that he wanted no companionship. Egerton could not. I think, have accompanied him. His man, a German, says he caught a severe chill: nt any rate, lie is iu n high fever, and more iu want of control than poor Callander." "How very dreadful!" cried Miss Onkeley. "That poor Mr. Egerton has really to-.i much feeling! One would not have expected it from liiin. Who is with hiirf? He ought to have some one to take cure of him." "He has resolved to go into a hospital into a private room, of course. He says ht will be guarded there against prying relatives. He has no very near relations; but he seems nervously anxious to be shielded from them." "How very strange! Surely he has some old housekeeper, some faithful nurse, who could come to him!" "Probably, but not in London; he has uo town house, you know." 'It is all so dreadful. Nothing but misfortune seem to follow us. I uin quite frightened at the idea of Herbert going aff alone." "I nin not sure, nfter all. that it may not be iK-tter for liim to depend on himself, to be fiwuy from any who are associated with this terrible tragedy." "I will get away iis early as I can tomorrow, for I am sure poor dear Dorthy will be dreadfully distressed when 'Collins returns." This was not, hoever, the effect produced ou Dorothy's mind by the sudden appearance ot Callander's old servant; she was supremely thankful that, anyhow, Kgerton was prevented from accompanying her brother-in-law. With lier suspicions, it seemed too painful anomaly thnt Egerton should be selected as the consoling friend of the bereaved husliuudi .

CHAPTER XIV. The first lengthening days of spring have a saddening effect ou those who have suffered. To Dorothy, and, indeed, to her affectlonnte friend Henrietta, It was a melancholy period. The little one had ceased to ask for "Papa" or "Mamma," and her guardian's visits were the iinly bits of sunshine in Dorothy's life. She watched with almost motherly inti-r-ft the growth of the baby boy. the unfolding of the little girl's intelligence. But the supreme sol.'ice was the warm, thoughtful sympathy of Stiindisli. Their cotiversi! t ions were always a source of tranquil pleasure, but when he (H.I not ?onie for two or three days, her sense of disolation was almost insupportable. Meanwhile, Ktandish found his position Improved, his prospects brightening, since his successful conduct of lumincss confided to him in Berlin and Vienna, nb.o the amount of work he had to attend to was greatly increasi-d, so the time he ould place at his ward's disposal was less than formerly. Hastening one dim afternoon tip 'Pull Mall, and looking out for an empty hiinlotn, he ciuue suddenly fate to fail! with Kgerton. He knew the figure and lM-ariog. hut was liiiist inioertitiii as to tin identity of the face, so changed v. as it in ninny ways. The large eyes wen- sunkeu, and had a

pained, hunted expression. The cheeks looked hollow, the clear, olive tint had become a dusky pallor, a largo mustache hid his month and altered him still more. "Why, Kgerto,n!" "Ktandish! I wis on my nay to leave my card ut your lo Igings to let you know I was in town." "I it m very glad to see you. When did yon come up?" "Yesterday. I am putting upnt Long's. 1 have given up my rooms in the Albany. 1 am thinking of trying n little elephant shooting iu Africa if Callander does not want me. I had a letter from him a couple of days ago. Which way are you going? I will come with you." "Dorothy hud a few lines from him. too, last week," said Standish, as they walked on; "he had leen to see his mother at Nice, and spok- of returning to England." "So he does 10 me. He is, for the first time, anxious to know wlrat success has attended our efforts. I trust he will return quite himself." There was 01 indescribable melancholy In Egerton's voice that struck Standish, and he felt so no surprise as well as iucreased intcreft in his companion. "How is Miss Wyiin?" continued Egerton; "I have heard of her now and then from Miss Oaheley, and 1 should greatly like to see her before I leave England if she will see me." This was said in a constrained voice, with pauses and breaks, as though he forced himself to utter the words mechanically. "Just now, I am sure Dorothy will not see you or nnr one. The Ixiy is rather seriously ill with bronchitis rather a bod business for so small a chap. His aunt never leaves him. It would be an awful shock to Callander to arrive and find no son. It is all very hard on such a mere girl as Dorothy. But she has more of a backbone than her sweet, pret.y sister had " "Yes, yes," interrupted Egerton, hastily. "Tell me, how is it thnt flighty Miss Oakeley has stuck so steadily to ber role of comforter?" "Her heart Is better than her head," returned Standish. "Henrietta Onkeley has proved herself a capital woman. I have grown quite fond of her. She would make an admirable wife to any man who knew how to manage her." "Oh, indeed!" with a languid smile. "Tell me more about the report of that consul of which you wrote to me. I don't understand why they have not made more diligent search for that fellow you all suspect Pedro." "We suspect! Don't you? Come and dine with me at the club to-night and we will discuss it all; now I must go on to Miss Oakeley's. I have not beard how the boy is to-day." "IiCt me come with you. I must see them again." It seemed to Standish from the tone of his voice that the necessity was not an agreeable one. "Come, by all means," be returned. They were soon bowling aloug towards Kensington. Miss Onkeley was not nt home when they reached the house. But Collins, w-ho remained as the factotum, protector and semi-dictator of the joint household, said thnt she would lie in soon. The gentlemen were therefore shown up

i to the drawing room, where a tea table

was set ready for the absent mistress. "I will go and sec Dorothy, if you don't mind. Egerton.' said Standish, nf-

' ter moving somewhat restlessly to and

fro, looking nt the iMipers and periodicals thnt lay about. "She gem-rally mounts guard nlniut this time, and the nurse, yon remember, Mrs, McHugh" Egerton iiodded his head with' a slightly impatient movement "goes to tea." "Don't mind uie," returned the other. Standish had hardly left the room whin Misa Onkeley entered it; she was richly dressed, with abundance of black fur on her cloak and round her throat, and looked very handsome. "Ob! dear me, Mr. Egerton, I am so glad to see you. I could hardly believe my ears when Collins s;iid you were here. But do you know you ure looking frightfully ill? You don't mind my saying so, do you? You ought to go away to some warm, cheerful place, llenlly, the gloominess of winter iu England is quite suicidal, don't you think so?"

"I cannot return the compliment. Miss Onkeley! You are looking remarkably well! It is. an age since we met. I uui cftrrr I rannnt NC Misa Wvnn jind for

the cause the little boy, Standish tells

me, is seriously ill. "He is, indeed, but he is a shade lietter to-day. Dorothy has been so unhappy uliout him. It would have been terrible if Herbert hud returned to find no ha'-;' boy, and Anut Callander would have been sure to sny he died from neglect. I am very fond of Aunt Callander; she has many good points, but she does fancv sneh queer things! I am dying to see Herbert again! Of course, it has been an awful blow, but men don't grieve forever. He is really a young man, and ought to throw himself into his career. And be is such a good fellow! Yon know my deep interest in hiiii is of old date; won't you take a cup of teu?" "No no, thank yon," and Egerton, who had started up and gone to the fireplace while she spoke, now sat down and kept very still white Henrietta insisted on giving him some tea, and cross-examined him as to his health, his life at his country seat, and a dozen other topics, while he answered in monosyllables unit looked as if ho were on the rack. Meantime, Standish mounted the stairs to the day nursery, where he had generally siKiken to Dorothy during the boy's illness. The little fellow bad taken u severe cold, which turned to bronchitis. "Oh, Paul, he is better!" exclaimed Dorothy, from the Inner room, as soou as she heard his knock at the door. "That's right: I thought the little fellow would pull through; he is a regular Trojan." "He was in great danger yesterday, but the night was better, and now be breathes much more freely." "And now, I lnrfip yon will take some care of yourself, Dorothy! You bud; as if you had not slept for a week." "Not so long as that, but I should like a nice quiet sleep without any dreams," and she sighed. "Are yon still so frightened at night?" asked Standish, looking down into lier eyes with a glance so wistfully compassionate that Dorothy felt the delightful sense of his nfl'eeiiomite sympathy s-ml a thrill of pleasure shivering through her. "No, I am less frightened, but 1 dream continuously." "I have b-ft a visitor with Miss Oakc!e.v," resumed Staudish, placing a chair for Dorothy, while he stood by the high lender. "A visitor who wishes to see you." Dorothy looked up with a startled expression. "Who is it?" "Kgerton; I met him just now by accident, and he came on here with me." Dorothy rose, and came beside Standish before she replied; then she said in a low, rapid voice; "I cannot see him, Paul. You will not ask me, it is qtiite---quite impossible." "I shall not ask you lo do unything you don't like, Dorothy, but later Git you really must get over this prejudice. must see Kgerton some day." "I will try," she said with a kim

slight shiver, "but you must give me time." "lie was very fascinating at first," said Standish with a slight smile. "I remember your comparing him to various heroes -let me see- Don John of Austria, Sir Philip Sidney, ami " "Oh, do not talk of - that time, Paul; it was too too happy." "Forgive me. dear Dorothy," taking her hand, "I will not tease you to do anything you do not like; promise to come for a long walk with iue to-morrow, if the Ikij- continues to hold bis ground. You must not play tricks with your health; yon are not exactly a giant, my dear ward." Dorothy made no reply; she stood very still, her hand in that of Standish, while he looked with grave, thoughtful consideration at the slight girlish figure, the half averted, pathetic face, the sweet quivering mouth. It was sad to see the traces cf sorrow ou so young a creature, esj-e-eially n there was some element in her sorrow which he could not quite make out. Standish sighed a short, deep sigh, at which Dorothy staricd from her thoughts, and withdrew her hand. "1 supimse I must go," suid Standish. "If it is fine lo-niorrow, will you be ready for me at two? We will have a ramble round tin- gardens." "Very well, thank you. You are very good to me, Paul. Can I ever show you how grateful I am?" "Don't talk of gratitude. There can lie no question of such a thing between us." "Gmid-b for the present, Paul till tomorrow." Dinner passed heavily enough. Whatever subject Standish started Egerton let drop, though occasionally he si-emed to spur himself to talk. It appeared to Standish the longest meal of which he had ever partaken. The waiter had placed the dessert In-fore them when a telegram was handed to Stamlish, who, glancing over the lines, of which there were several, exclaimed with some excitement: "!iy heaven! we may get a clew at last! It is from Bust port. "Some important evidence offered by a newly arrived sailor. Come, if possible..'" (To be continued.!

BATTLE AGAINST RSDSKINS.

How Two Whites Stood Off 3,000 Indians for Three Days. Charles Gates is tut oid-tlme Indian lighter. He used to reckon bis dead Indians by the cord. He has fought more Indian battles than any man ou earth or under it. He litis just returned from a trip to uo north, and said: "The most interesting part of it was that 1 weut back to the place where 'Bill' Hanks and uie stood oil' il.OtH) Indians for three days one lime buck iu the late Otis. There were seventeen of us at first, bnt only rbn-e of us lived to tell the tale. The spot Is some thirtylive miles from ltlackfoot, Idaho, near where the roads fork. The Indians sailed Into us one afternoon, and niado things lively, 1 tell you. We dragged the wagons together iu a (tircle, kjlllng all the horses, and .strung them around for breastworks, and lutdi'- the painted fiends come ou, and they laimc. Why, it fairly rained Indians. We kept shooting, and so did they, until night came on, when ,ve discovered that 'Bill' Hauks, myself and Mini' Defoe were all that were left of us. We knew that we could not hold out, so wo drew lots to see who would go for help, and Defoe won, and crawled out. He told us when he got back that he. crawled ulne miles through the darkness before he dared rise up." "Why did he craw l so far?" asked Dan Niekutu, who was a listener. "Because he didn't get throtigh the India us for nine tulles," answered Gates, with dignity. "There were more Indians there at that time than was ever gathered together at one time be-

i fore or sir.ee. Well. sir. for three days j me and 'Bill' sat there ill that circle j and mowed down Indians. When the

soldiers did come we were mighty glad, I tell you. After the light was over they counted, and found me and 'Bill had killed exactly L'.OOu of the 3,000 which first attacked us. The soldiers killed the balance." "How could you toll which ones you killed and which ones the soldiers killed?" asked Niekum again. "Simple enough," said Gates. "By the freshness of the corpses. When the corpse was over a dny old we credited it to our account." "Itut how could you tell the freshness of a corpse?" "Oh. that's dead easy. Of course you don't have to know, and so long's the Indians are not likely to trouble us again there's no use Iu ti lling you now. for the information would not do you nnv good. But a man that is used to

I killing Indians can tell n corpse any time and just how long It has been ' dead. Even If that wasn't the case, we j had another method, for we never shot i au Indian except right through the ! head. Didn't want to sjKiil the hide." 1 "What on ejntli would yon do with I ,-n Indian's bide?" asked Nlekum. i "Out "em Into slices and make razor

strops of '0I11; 'hat's what we always did with .Indian hides. We used to snip ball's of Indian hides to Europe every year. That's where I got my start." "That must have been as hard a fight ns you ever had. wasn't It?" "Yessir, till but one. Was in a harder fight than that down iu Arizona one time. Lost more men. The Indians came on us by surprise, and killed every duru one of us. Not a one escaped to" tell the tale." And then Gates engaged himself In a race for a street car. Salt Luke Herald.

An Incredulous Bride. A wife's unjust suspicions were the cause of very strained relations recently betweeu a .voting couple living In Columbia avenue, near aith street. She got the Idea into her bend that her husband was deceiving her when he said, as be frequently did, that be was "going around the corner for the evening to see a friend." in an .-ittempt to do n little detective work she bought 1 pocket pedometer, an Instrument resembling a watch, which registers the distance traveled by the person who carries it. The next time her husband went "around the corner" she secretly slipped it Into ot-o of his pockets and awaited the result. When he returned that night she found that the telltale instrument registered nine miles.

THE EARTH IS A PIGMY.

Almost Incrcdtblc liim-nsion of Ban as Compared with This Sphere. A dime held at arm's length from the eye will much more than cover tho entire disc of the s.m. If It were placed at the exact point of coincidence and its diameter and distance from the eye accurately measured, It might be used as a means of determining the sun's diameter, his distance being known. The foremost philosophers of long ago would have been appalled nt the true statome:is of both the sun's distance and Its size. The sun's diano tf Is ;:lont (fid.OOO miles. Perhaps a taint conception of the enormous bulk indicated by these figures may be h;:d from the reflection that umbra of a single huge sun spot, observed In .limitary. 1S!)7, was extensive enough to entertain sixteen earths grouped in a solid square. It is bewildering to be assured that It would take 1.300,tiuo earths to equal the suti in volume. If the interior of that truly gigantic globe were hollow, and the earth were placed E.t Its center with the moon revolving about It at ;s usual mean distance of ncniy IMO.OOO miles, there would still exist a vacuity between the moon and tie enclosing shell of the sun of nearly aoo.000 miles. This is perhaps the uiost graphic and Impressive illustration possible of the sun's colossal built. We must note, however, that the density of the sun is ouly about one-quti-ier that of tha earth, so that it would "weigh" only its much as .'130,000 earths. In very "round" numbers the sun's weight may be stated at two oclillious of tons, which, if expressed in figures, would require almost as many ciphers as a newspaper line can accommodate. A very comprehensive Illustration of tho pygmean dimensions of the earth as compared with bo sun Is to represent the latter by a globe two feet in diameter ami the o.trth by a dainty pea. And yet t! little pea weighs more than six qulnullioii tons. As to the solar surface, It is some 12,000 times that of our planet. Yet the sun, when compared wbh Its true peers, the stars, is not only of extraordinary size, but in all probabily is only to be ranked among the medium self-luminous bodies which sparkle in "heaven's ebon vault." And because of its spottedness It has a place (although a humble one) among the "'variable" stars. The "shining shell," as Miss Clarko terms It, seen through a piece of well smoked glass, is termed tho "photosphere." We thus perceive its actual diameter, although It seems much smaller than our conception of It, because the fierce g.are has been negatived by the shade glass. If we concede that the sun In gaseous, the photosphere may be regarded as a sort of skin, or crust, of mcaudescent clouds, through which are constantly breaking the geyser-like uprushes of metallic vapors, which expend their energies as far above the sun, sometimes, as the moon is distant from the earth. Environing the photosphere, as the atmosphere surrounds the earth, but vastly deeper, is the "chromosphere."
