CHAPTER XXIV (Continued.) "Very glad to find you nt Inst," lie cried, in his usual genial, pleasant voire, as he advanced, with outstretched band; "1 am locRiiiB to know " Ho stopped, silenced and astonished by the aspect of Stamlish, his stern face, and the sight of his hand closed and resting on the tabte, quite irresponsive to Kgcrrn'3 frieiidiy gesture. "What ib the matter. Stnndish?" "1 will explain. Yon must lienr me .vitbout interruption, for what 1 am going .0 say is a sufficient strain on my selfcontrol. I have heard the whole truth which underlay the tragedy In which we have both plnyed a part. I know the brutal villainy of your conduct toward your friend's wife. I know that the suspicions which should have fallen on yon were directed to me. anil I have it from Callander himself that lie, too. had learned the troth, that he wan aware of the debt he owed you, and was resolved to nav it in full: therefore, yon arc unfit to

tonch the band of a gentleman, to sit in

the room with a decent woman : 1 ou tools the heart, the will, of a weak, innocent child bv falsest stratoeem into your iron.

pitiless hands, nnd for the gratification cf a base passion, destroyed her soul's life as certainly as her murderer struck her deadr While he spoke Egerton's large, dark eyes grew larger, fiercer, nnd fixed themselves unflinchingly on those of Staudish. "Yesr he returned, in a hard voice. "This is how, I snppose, a moral, blameless man like yourself looks upon me. and

this is how I look upon myself: I found one of the sweetest, fairest creatures my eyes ever rested on, whose indefinable charm fascinated my heart and thrilled my senses as no other woman among the numbers I have known ever did before. I found her tied to a cold, half-indifferent man, whose age, whose dull nature checked and repressed hers. She feared him, she wanted the companionship of ft younger, a more sympathetic man! She was formed for me, nnd all that was needed to secure such happiness as men and women rarely taste was that she should take courage nnd burst her bonds. It would have been but a nine days' wonder, soon forgotten, and I could have given her ev. erything: Bnt she dared not! Heaven never created an angel purer or more selfdenying than Mabel! Whether right or wrong, I have but one regret that I did .not succeed in carrying her away from the oppression of her home to the heaven my love could have created from the cruel madman who destroyed lior sweet life to the shelter of my arms. 5Iy love for her gave me superior rights! I shall never repent or regret my share in the past!" Tou, too, are insane!" exclaimed Standish, amazed at his self-deception and

struck by his allusion to Callander. "Feeling convinced," coatinued Eger-1 ton, "from some strange Innate conviction that Callander murdered his vyif 0, I forced myself to endnre his company , rather than give cruel tongues any chance j of touchiug the truth. I bore the bitter j reproaches of her sister. I will bear in silence no breath from me shall ever I tarn'sh the pure name of my beloved dead! But you and I have the honor of 1 Callander's name, the safety of his life j

in our nanos, ami tnongu we siiaii Keep far apart in the future we must guard it well." "His honor, yes! for the rest no earthly judge can tonch him now." "What!" cried Egerton, with n sudden revulsion of feeling. "Is he dead?" "I have reason to believe so," and Standish told the occurrences of the day as rapidly as he conld. "Then that chapter is finished!" exclaimed Egerton. "We can never meet again as friends; bnt for the sake of the dead we must not s?em enemies. Dorothy may rest satisfied with her work," he added with a sneer. "She has reason to bo satisfied," returned Standish gravely. "Better mourn over her sister's tea rly grave than blush for a faithless wife, a dishonored mother." Egerton stood a moment in silence. Then he said, more to himself thsn to Standish, "I .shall leave England to-morrow." With one steady, defiant look into the face ot bis accuser he left the room and the house.

CHAPTER XXV. When Standish reached Prince's Place next morning be found Dorothy alone nt the breakfast table; she was looking a little brighter than usual, and rose to receive him with a welcoming smile. "I am so glad yon have come, dear Paul! I am dying to hear how you and Herbert met. If he is friends with you and trusts to yon. he may recover something of his old frame of mind." "Yes, Dorothy, I will tell you everything," returned Standish, holding her hand half-unconsciously In both his own. "But come into the study; we shall be undisturbed! Have you finished your breakfast?" "Oh! yes, quite Henrietfn has a headache, so she did not come down; but ishe wants to see you before you go." While Dorothy spoke she toil the way Into the study; .1 small fire was burning, and the window ras open upon a neat little garden, where the sunshine of. nn early spring -morning seemed to promise a future crop of grass nnd flowers. "It is cold still," said Dorothy, closing the window and turning to Standish. who stood still and silent; something in his face, in his compassionate eyes, struck her heart. "Paul dear Panl how dreadfully ill you lock! Something has happened! Something to Herbert! Tell me nt once." "Yes! my dearest Dorothy! We greatly fear that an accident bathing sudden cramp, perhaps Stuudish could hardly form his words. "Oh, Paul! say it at once. Is he dead ?" "Sit down, my child," drawing her to the sofa, and holding her hands in hi. "We cannot say certainly that he is! but I fear we shall never see him again I will tell you all " Dorothy listened with wide-open dry eyes. "Do yon do yon think lie did it himself?" and she clung shuddering to him, as she gasped out the words. "No, certainly not!" returned Standish, promptly. "Why he ordered breakfast for himself and for me (for he seemed to have expected me), and in his letter he spoke of objects to live for! No, Dorothy put that thought out of your head." "He wrote to you, then?" "Yes, very kindly and frankly, just like his oid self." "Ab! how good he was. how kind he

was how gentle, how true why, why has one bad man been allowed to destroy our happiness? My bead feels on fire" "Think of those poor little children, so unconscious of their desidntion," t-gan Standish, at his wits' end to draw fears to the poor strained eyes, when the door burst open and Henrietta, her ryes red with weeping and a handkerchief in her hand, came in. "Oh! Have you told her? Isn't it too dreadful! Oh, poor, dear Dorothy, how I feel for you! Yet what can your grief be to Uiine? I loved him nil my life, quite ail my life," and .xitUng down, she coveted ber face, and sobbed aloud. "How did yi know?" asked Standish. "I did not -say iii.. !' ;:).. a my i "'.e, tpj

save murdering sleep for one night." "It was this morning. Collins read ii in the papers and told Celestine, and she ran, of course, to me. I kept out of the way in my room, for I knew I should talk to Dorothy, and I told them to keep all the papers below. Now yon must tell mithe whole dreadful story." Standish complied noticing the constant fits of trembling that shook Dorothy's slight frame. "Now," said Henrietta, rising, "I hope yon will not mind being left alone, Dorothy, but I am going off almost immediately to catch the mid-dny Calais boat. I feel I ought to break the dreadful news to my annt. In losing ber son she loses everything, and nobody seems to think of her." "I certainly do!" said Standish. grimly. "Had it not been for her " He stoiped. "Oh, yes. I know; she growled and grumbled nnd made herself disagreeable, but then she meant well. At any rate, Dorothy, I feci I ought to go to Aunt Callander." "Yes, Henrietta, I don't mind staying with Nurse, I am so fond of her, nnd Paul

will come and see me. I think I will go and lie down; my head and eyes ache dreadfully." "Well, do. dear. I shall see you settled before I go." "Good-bye. Paul. How good and kind yon always are to me!" At Inst the gracious tears came, nnd Dorothy hurried from the room. "Thank heaven, she can weep at last!" cried Standish to Henrietta. "For heaven's sake, come back as soon ns you can. I feel certain she is going to be ill. Hut I dare say Mrs. McIIugh will take good care of her." "I declare yon don't seem to have a thought for any one but Dorothy," said Hcnrietin, impatiently, ' "Not many," be replied, tersely. Henrietta stared at him as he left the room. Standish returned to his chambers on his way t the Foreign Office, and found a telegram from Brierly: "Body cast up by tide on western spit. Shall do all that is needful. Come ns soon as you can." Dispatching this by a messenger to Miss Onkeley, Standish perforce continued on his way, that he might clenr off some work, and make what arrangements he could to attend the funeral of his unfortunate friend. CHAPTER XXVI. It was all over. The mortal remains of poor Callander were laid to rest beside those of the wife he loved too well. The only members of bis family who followed him o the grave were a couple of distant cousin. Mrs. Callander was in a strange state of nervous depression, Henrietta in Paris, Dorothy laid np with a severe attack of low fever, Egerton no one knew where. Of all the pleasant pnrty that used to assemble at The Knoll, Standish was the sole representntive. A few days after he had once more settled to the ordinary routine of his life, he paid a visit to the lawyer at his request, for Col. Callander, a few days Viefore his unexpected death, had by a codicil revoked his appointment of Egerton as executor, and named Standish in his

place, requesting that ro long as Dorothy was nnmarried she should remain with his children. After examining the will Standish left the lawyer's and walked toward his own lodgings in somewhat deep thought. He was uneasy about Dorothy, who had

not left her room since the day he had i broken the news of Callander's disappear- i

ance to ner. ne was very weak, Mrs. McHugh reported, and apparently quite content to lie still, without a desire for anything, "What an age it is since I've seen her, and nurse says she will not lie downstairs again for three or four days." Then his thoughts wandered to Dillon. His silence and non-appearance puzzled Standish; "but I shall not seek him. He will be sure to present himself. He has been well paid so far, bnt I should like to lie sure of his silence. The nwful truth must never come out. It is humiliating to think that we are at the mercy of such a scamp as Dillon. But he must be silenced." Standish here bailed a hansom and drove to his own abode. As sometimes hannens. he found bis thomrhts had been

prophetic. The servant of the house,

hearing his latchkey iii the lock, came out of the front parlor. "If you please, sir." presenting a card, "the gentleman said he would call again." "If he does, show him up." returned Standish, reading the inscription "Luke -C. Dillon." "I shall lie nt home most of the afternoon." He began a letter to Henrietta, for he was anxious that she should return to her temporary home and to Dorothy. His lucubrations were cut short by the announcement of "Mr. Dillon," and the detective entered, fresh, cool, self-satisfied and red ns ever. "Thought I'd look yon up." he began. "You'll have been wondering what has become of me?" "Well, no! You sec, there is nothing more to do, as " Standish paused. "Just so! Xothing more to do and a pretty tidy job I made of it, eh, Mr. Standish?" "I readily acknowledge your remarkable ability," returned Standish cautiously. "Well, sir. the poor Ken Ileum 11 made awny with himself sooner than I expected." "How do you know he made away with himself?" "Why, Mr. Sta idish, yon and I, who know the whole truth, need not bent about the bush when wo are face to face and 110 witnesses by. I dare say there's doubt eiio"gh as to intention to entitle you to den;, it was suicide, but what you think is nt ther pair nf shoes. Between yon and m ', it's the best thing the poor fellow could have done! His life was over any life worth living so he was right to get shut of it." "We need not discuss the question," returned Standish haughtily. "We are not likely to agree on abstract questions." "Like enough!" with careless superiority. "Now. the reason I have called is t show you that 1 have a good deal of what I believe you top-sawyers call delicate consideration, mixed with a due regard for my own interest." He paused. "Pray continued. I am much inlerented." . 'Tou'll lie more so presently. When firfiSSin nnd I had a talk, Mr. Standish. we differed almut one or two trifles. One was the amount duo to me for information which would certainly lend to the discovery of the murderer, nnd also for nn undertaking to hold my tongue as to the

same. Now, 011 reflection, I decided not j to trouble you. You were not of the family, you could rfot lie exactly n judge of 1 how far their feelings would urge them: ; ho I just crossed over to Paris and asked , the old lady. Sirs. Callander, ti grant ' me the honor of an interview." "You did!" cried Standish. "This is j

exactly what I should have wished to hurt, spared her!" "I dare say. but I suspect the old lady

would rather do business with me. Any- 1 way, she sa,w me pretty quick. Lord, j what a state she was In shaking like an 1 aspen! She is just fifteen yearn older I

than when I Inst saw her. She's dying by inches, of fright. She soon let out that her son hail confessed bis crime, and that she was ready to pay ine any amount if she could only ensure my silence. But I nni a man of principle. Mr. Standish,' always was; so I kept down the figure, and told her that two thou, was heavy enough to sink the whole business deep down out of sight forever. She was quite :inienali:e to reason, not to say in a hurry to draw ine a eheek. ami wished to add a iritie for traveling expenses. However. I directed her bow the matter was to be iloise: rn !:i ;i ! u ssp. ii ere ate suspicion. That's neither here nor there -any way. I have bau'ted the rash. I'nrtiiiiatcl.v 1 got the mailer sillied before the news of the Colonel's death reached her." Dillon paused, but Slaudish did not speak. Had lie opened his '. s, lie felt sure his words wou'd no: have been complimentary. After waiting with expectant eyes. lliUo;! resume. I utn-e more: "I thought it tight to te'.l m lh:s. ami as I 111:1 just going to siarl for Australia on a curious lay- 10 let you know that all's square. I needn't tell yon. as I a in a man of honor, that yon may make jour minds easy, the family secret is safe with me." With ii ml. Dil-OTi left the room, nnd by an instinctive action, Slaudish threw up the window as if to breathe purer uir. CHAPTKH XXVII. "The day drags on. though storms keep out the win," nud spring was now far enough advanced to make Standish think

it was time that Henrietta Oakeley took Dorothy to Switzerland or North Italy. She had been full of the scheme nt first, but for the last week or two seemed disIMised to postpone their departure lill Standish delerniincd to go ami settle the date at which they should start for Brussels, a town Dorothy wished to visit. It was a fine, bright .Saturday, in mid April, when Standish drove up to the well-known house in Prince's Place. "Miss Oakeley was not at home," said the mournful Collins, "but Miss Wyni; is in the drawing room. The room looked delightfully home like, the bright sunshine tempered by outside blinds, the atmosphere redolent of vio lets. Dorothy was at the piano when Standish came in, and rose with a quiet smile to shake hands with him. She look til less dc cately pale than formerly; thr-. wn a pale, shell-like, pinky tinge in her clic ks, but her great dark-gray eyes were more pathetic than ever. "I am glad to see you nt the piano once more, Dorothy," said Standish. "Yon are a good girl In try and get over your morbid feelings." "Yes, 1 must conquer my dread of hearing music," she said with a sigh, "though I don't like to think it is morbid. But if I do not resist, it will take too strong n hold on vac. It will not do to be melancholy with those poor dear children." "No, certs inly not. You are looking better, my dear ward," still holding her band. "1 am gaining strength," she returned, gently withdrawing it. Standish leaned on the end of the sofa, and looked at her with tender regret for the young days wlveh sorrow bad so deeply shaded. "It is time you wire nway in some sunny new place. Wb.re is Henrietta? I am determined to put matters en train to-day. and we can do nothing decided without, her." "I am afraid you will not see Henrietta (o-day nor to-morrow either: she tins just gone to stay with Lady Kilruddery at Twickenham. tiK Monday." "Lady Kilruddery? t did not know she wns 11 friend of Henrietta's:" "She is going to lie more than a friend." said Dorothy, with n gleam of her former fun in her eyes, "She told me a wonderful tale this morning. She has accepted Major St. John." "This is Hidi-ed a piece of news! I hope she will t happy. She is a good soul, though a little flighty," said Standish

"We must arrange something for you, Dorothy." he said, in an odd, absent manuer. "I shall not go for n month or six weeks." He paused; Dorothy rose up and went to the window, as if to escape his eyes. ' "Though you will not confide in me, Dorothy," he resumed in a low, earnest tone, "do you care to hear n confession of well. 1 fear I must call it weakness from me?" "Of course I do," she said, while an awful thought flashed across her. "Is he going to say be is in love with Henrietta?" She believed he wns. "To you I dare say it will seem folly in n man who has left youth behind him," continued Stnndish, grasping the top of a chair near him with n nervous grip, "but I have fallen, no, rather grown, into love, deeper and more intense, perhaps, than many n younger fellow could feel, with a girl nlmnst young enough to he my daughter. I see her sweet, sad eyes brighten when I come near, hut dare I hope it is anything beyond the almost filial affection which might bo her natural feeling for me, that speaks in them? Shall I ask her to be my wife? Is it. not possible that for kindness, grati'nde, pity's sake, she might say Yes. when nature might dictate No? Can I trust hf r to be true to herself as well as to me?" "Let me confess, too, before I answer," returned Dorothy, clasping nnd twisting her fingers nervously, while her heart beat so fast it stirred the folds of her black

dress. "I, too, have been foolish, for I have let myself fall in love with 11 man older, wiser, better oh, a thousand times bctler than myself, and-1 bave been very unhappy because I was ashamed of loving one who could only think of me as a halfformed, incomplete creature, to whom, however good he might be, 1 could be only au object of charily in the way of affection or regard. To know he loved me " Breath and utterance failed her, "And his name?" cried Stnudbih, imperiously, seizing her cold, trembling hands. "Is Paul," whispered Dorothy, as she

gave her soft mouth to his and leaned uuresistingly against his breast, locked in a tender, loving embrace. (The end.)

He appealed, holding nnw',;, icr things that the indeterminate sort' e law having been passed after the shoo- ng n as done i-oiild not be made to apply to His ense without being tin ex-post-Caeto law, and therefore unconstitutional. The Supreme Court decided against him.

A SUMATRA PARASITE.

A Flower of Prodigious Size and He' pulsive Odor Among tho marvelous plants that tho last century has made known none is more remarkable than the hugo parasite Rnfllcsln. It derives Its name from Sir Stamford Raffles, who, in 1818, was Governor of Heneoloon, In Sumatra. He was at one liiiie on a tour of the island, accompanied by I-ady Rallies, Dr. Arnold and quite n party of Europeans nnd natives. Suddenly they alighted upon a flower of prodigious size and repulsive odor, more than a yard across and weighing fifteen pounds. Its color was a light orange, mottled with yellowish white, the whole thing livid and visited by carrion insects. Later investigations showed the plant to consist of flower alone, directly parasitic on a species of cissus. It never has stem or leaves of its own. The famous Robert Brown bestowed the name of the platd Ralllcsia-Aruold, commemorating thus the titles of both discoverers. Several species are now known, differing much iu size, but little in essential. Their growt'i occupies but a few months. They first appear as knoblike protuberances protruding from the bark o various species of cissus. The flowers remain expanded only a few days, then becoming a disgusting mass of putrition. As in the similar case of ono well-known carrion flower, U 'nsects, attracted by the odor, also a: t in the pollination. These parasite flower at a different time from 1 e lost plains, thus making their owu ii' issoins more prominent. They have ! en cultivated In various botanical e rdens, especially In the East. 1'l.is plant is among the giant flower.; ranking in sizo with the great water lily of the Amazon and with sonic oJ the huge tropical aroids. A peaBower in Trinidad is said to be several feet in length, its banner, or upper petal, being nloiiei;a foot long, Tho range from these titlans to the almost invisMib; flower of water starwort is tremendous, but the little Is fashioned as carefully as the great.

"I've used my best taste and judgment and. research, and I feel eoufldeut that nobody could have done the thing better or more thoroughly than I have. And what reward do I get? Harsh criticisms for my omission of a few popular pools, and a paltry hundred dollars!" "A hundred dollars!" echoed the Autocrat of the Breakfast Table, wearily. "Why, I wouldn't have written that book for a thousand dollars, I'm sure." The collector of poetry smiled with gratification, but the listener turned to regard a passing dray, lest her face should betray her. Youth's Companion.
