VI.— CHECK! TO THE WRONG ONE:

By PAULINE HALL. Illustrated Miss ALICE M. LOVETT.

(Copyright. All rights nnjerved.) As Henry Henslinll went into Steinwny hull lu caught sight of Dr. Watson standing over at the right hand entrance. Their eyes mot, and oacli felt that it was war to the knife txM ween them. "What rascality is he up to now?" tho youuR artist muttered to himself, nts he followed his friend into the hall.

It was well filled. The new violinist had leen thoroughly advertised. It was claimed that she was tho "greatest of her sex in the uso of the violin, and that Olo Bull, Joachim or Sarasati could not bring more clear and passionate tones •from the instrument."

Henry Ilenshall read this on the programme with a smile. Tho concert- was well on in the second half, and a woman was singing a solo when they entered. .The next number was by Schumann, and was to be bv the brilliant "Louise

Neville." The hall was so full that Henshall's friend said they would stand in the rear, as it would be a but her to go way down to the front of tin house whore his seat was. and besides lie wished to remain with Hi-nslnill, who had only purchased an admission ticket.

The young artist's attention was distracted by his reveries 011 Dr. Watson. "I must get Mrs. Smith to make a charge against him that will lead to his arrest if it becomes necessary to protect my ideal from him. licfc she must still be under his fascinations, tor she wishes to avoid this if ixissible."

At this moment tho applause drew his attention to the stage. The audience had evidently been carried away by Miss Neville's playing, for they were greeting her apiK'aranco for the Schumann number with that heart}- clapping of hands which is the artist's most cordial and inspiring greeting from the public.

Ho glanced at the beautiful girl, who advanced with a dignified manner to the front of the stage, slightly smiling her recognition of the greeting which had been given to her.

One glance told him that Louise Neville was his ideal of the Wagner car. The fair face was that which had haunted him so constantly, waking or sleeping. '•(.five me your glass for a moment." lie exclaimed excitedly to his friend, almost snatching it from his hand. IIo ••.levelled it straight at, tiie girl's face. She had put t.hi? violin under her chin, and the fingers of her left hand were lightly touching the strings.

Fhchnil put the violin mith'r hrr rhln. Yes! It was s)u'. The dream of tho artist soul stood before him, fairer than he had imagined. She was dressed very simply in a gown of white satin, with a large sash of white silk at her slender •waist.

Ho felt a thrill of delight She seemed ..nearer to him than ever. Tho purpose "which lie had sworn in the Wagner car, "when it seemed so wild and impossible to carry out, now seemed to the excited young man a very easy matter.

He felt that her position as a public or professional performer argued some difficulty in her family, and he was not slow to think that in this way tile beautiful girl had sought to escape from the hateful Dr. Watson.

The next moment he was entranced. 'A strain of music of the most delicious sweetness streamed from her bow as she lightly swept it over the nut brown instrument which she held so caressingly.

Ilenshall was passionately fond of music. He had heard her wonderful playing in the car, and it had held him in thrallk but ihut could not be compared to this.

Edna Wits inspired by the occasion to her best effort. In the inspiration of the moment she forgot all but her art,. Tho dainty melody of the great German floated on the air like a lullaby sung by one Hpirit to another.

As she went on I10 felt that some occult influence was at work within the girl. Instead of the free, spontaneous movement and the entire absorption in tho composition there seemed a tense, nervous agitation in the performer which betrayod itself to him he hardly knew how. Tho tempo was quiokoned, and tho bow seemed to bito into the catgut, while her smooth forehoad contracted into a faint frown, her nostrils dilating •lightly now and then.

Was Bhe going to be overcome at tho moment of her triumph? Could nervousness be asserting itself now after she liad triumphantly conquered her public, and when the house was hanging breathlessly on her playing?

Nell Nelson, Mary Eastlake, P. T. Barnum. Bill Nve. lie felt in himself a sense of discomfort, which ho was attributing purely to his sympathy with the young girl. But it seemed to augment. At last by an attraction which was almost against his will ho felt his head turned to one side, as if drawn there by some subtle influence.

His eyes were bent it'll growing earnestness on the girl's face. They were hot, and seemed almost starting from his head. It was evident that tho hateful man was concentrating all the power of his soul into that look. By his side stood Mr. Crawford.

Henry Hensliall understood tho situfiiion at a glance. His own creeping, disgusted sense of being under some influence seemed explained by the magnetic attraction of this .devilish man. Ho knew, too, that his ideal, this nervous, high strung girl whose artistic temperament must answer to tho faintest impression, was being overcome by that terrible glance which Dr. Watson was directing toward her.

He felt that something must be done. A little more of this* occult violence and Edna might break hopelessly down. He was her knight, self constituted, to lx» sure, but with the fond hope that some time he might receive from those soft brown eyes the sigu that he was not an ungratefnl defender.

His course was quickly decided on. II walked behind the hateful form of the doctor, and after standing a moment turned around sharply and, as if by accident, struck the man in the back so heavily that he turned in wrath and surprise. "Oh, I beg your pardon, Dr. Leopardi," he said, with a stress upon tho name.

Ho darted a glanco at him as lie said this that sufficiently conveyed his feeling. It was to be war to the knife.

Dr. Leopardi looked at him in return with a deadly hate. "You are mistaken, sir," he said hotly, without a moment's hesitation. "My name is not Leopardi."

Hensliall felt that his ruse had succeeded in what he chiefly intended. He had broken the fatal current which streamed from Dr. Watson's eyes, and which was slowly but surely unnerving tho fair girl who struggled so bravely against the malign influence.

He step|ed close to his ear and hissed into it: "If you do not withdraw at oneo ami cease persecuting that innocent girl I will bring one that will prove you are Dr. Leopardi and a thief and a villain. Go, quietly and at once, and I will do nothing more at present, but otherwise beware, l'or 1 know yon much better than you do me. Go!"

Leopardi's brown face grew sallow white and his eves looked like an angry snake's. "I Will lie even with you some day." he said in a low tone of intense revengefulness. "I never forget a debt like this."

Then he turned and said something to Mr. Crawford, who had been watching his daughter too persistently to have remarked this side scene. After a moment apparently of hesitation 011 the old man's part he turned, and with an agitated air left the hall with the doctor. "What did you, do to that fellow?'' asked his companion as Hensliall retimed to liis side. "1 scotched a snake!" he said, his lip curling with disgust and scorn.

Edna Lewis had completed her solo triumphantly, and twice she was obliged to return to bow her acknowledgments to the applauding house. She was deadly pale, anil there was a strained look in the dark brown eves which pierced Henshall's very soul.

Ho could not leave her unprotected. He must wait and see her safely home. Dr. Watson and old Mr. Crawford were nowhere in sight, but that did not dispel his fear.

He waited until the crowd had disappeared. Then he saw a slight figure, a gleam of white satin showing beneath the long fur trimmed cloak, which he recognized as the same that his ideal had worn at the time he had rescued her from Watson's persecutions.

She was so heavily veiled that he could not detect a single feature. He approached her humbly, and raising his hat, said in the most deferential tones: "Miss Neville, pardon my again intruding upon you. but: it is only in your own regard that I do so. I have a cab here l'or you. which will bear you at once to your home, and if yon will permit of my escort I shall feel safer to know that you arrive there without any molestation."

She bowed, but seemed too nervous to speak. As if distraught one little gloved hand fluttered out toward him and griisped his own, but it was instantly withdrawn, and she hastily entered the coujmj lie had engaged.

She gathered her robes close to her, and left a pLv'o at her side for Ilenshall. "Where bhall I tell the driver to go?" he said 11s he leaned toward her.

In muffled, agitated tones tho number of a went up town street was conveyed to him. He hastily repeated it to tho cabman, and than boldly entered tho coupe and seated himself by her sida.

The cabman drove off. Henshall's fair companion kept her handkerchief to her face, and seemed to labor tinder an agitation that she could with difficulty repress. He made no attempt to convene with her. Ho had said as ho closed the door of the coupe: "Dear Miss Neville, you will.surely acsmlt me of want of respect iBaqafltfae

uiivamstanceg. lou Know my one desire is to be your most trusted guardian should you need any. Do not try to speak. My only wish is to see you safely housed."

The ngitated girl underwent some violent throo of feeling, but did not attempt to speak. Tne carriage bowled raj idly along over the pavements, and soon drew up at the door of a large flat.

Henshall sprang out and 1. ng the bell. Tho jnr.iujr opened the door, and then only did tho fair maiden spring lightly from the coupe and run up thu steps into the nail.

She turned, with her hand upon the door, removed her veil, and with a mocking smile called out: "Thanks, awfully! Goodnight!"

Tlio next ins'ant. she had closed the door in his face and was flitting up stairs. Ilenshall, with a muttered curse, turned, paid the cabman, then, scowling, took down tho number of the house and strode away.

Tho face he had seen was that of tho young singer at Louise Neville's concert. "Thej- must have changed cloaks," he muttered to himself. Then, as he walked ou, despite his chagrin, he had to laugh.

THE CHILD-KINGS

A Quaint Old Kellclou.H PruceiHtoB on tha Spanish Cnuttt. One of the most charming festivals of a religious character to be seen in Europe is that of the Three Kings, or Magi, celebrated every winter on variable dates at St. Jean de Luz in Spain.

The church of St Jean de Luz is said to possess some relics of those wise men of the east who followed the star until it lay over Ilethleliem. and led them to the manger where the Christchild lay.

Ill the old days this festival was general in the country round about, but it. is now contiiied to a procession in tho town, in which all the religious, civil and military authorities join.

The chief feature of the procession is the trio of kings, represented by three beautiful bovs in line oriental costumes, their long trains borne by pages in costuinesof the time of Francis tlio First.

The chronology is a little mixed, but the intentions are excellent and the effect of the whole is like that of looking into some illuminated missal of the middle ages.—X. Y. Journal.

Is It Hunt?

A distinguished gentleman who thinks ho is trying to "benefit tho masses" writes that the coffee house scheme certain benevolent individuals are trying to introduce instead of tho saloon will noi work because unfortunately those whom tfie effort is made to 'benefit are Uk fond of strong stimulants ever to he willing to substitute mild ones for them. From h's point of view the sole object of '.ho Saturday night saloon parties in drink and nothing else.

But is this so? Possibly those faraway benevolent individuals who aro trying to "benefit, the masses" might learn something if they \7ere to spend an evening behind the scenes at one of the Saturday night saloons whence the working man reels out in tho small hours, leaving hehind liiin much of his week's earnings and in time all of his self respect. They conld listen to the stories that aro told, see the games of cards that aro played, hoar tho songs, and also note how eagerly over}- little incident is seized on and magnified that will afford fun or entertainment to tho crowd.

At the close of the Saturday night revels the high and far away philanthropist or tine lady would learn, if still capable of learning, that it is not the nun or lieer which is the main feature of tho evening's entertainment It is the social feature. Tho saloon is the poor man's club, and that is the truth about it. Give tlieso tired workingmen a placc where they could go for social amusement. Let there bo a bathhouse there and a restaurant, where for workingmen's rates they could obtain a good warm supper. Then let them amuse themselves, subject to 110 goody good espionage, but to the same restraint, 110 more and 110 less, that is exercised ovei them in tho saloon, and tho chances arc that against this sort of poor man's clubhouse, in the course of a short time, the saloon would stand 110 show at all. Let the good fellows smoke, tell' their jokes and play cards and relax after their week of toil as they will. Let them pay cost prices for what they get, too, so they may feel this is not a charity flung at them by the "upper classes," but a place where they may at onco amuse themselves and maintain their own self respect There would lie less guzzling and more intellectual enjoyment, but we have no right to assume that the workingman would not appreciate this. Messieurs Philanthropists, try it.

Shakers Claim Tolstoi.

What a braveold Shaker Tolstoi would make, to be sure! IIo has written to Elder Evans that the Oregon paper. The Wi irld's Advance Thought, has afforded him greatspiritu.il nourishment, and were it not for the spiritualistic tendency therein, which is foreign to his nature, it would express his views absolutely. Then the mild mannered old Shaker biother, after the flesh, Frederick W. Evans, .sits down and writes a long letter to tho great Russian author, claiming him as already a brother.

Come to America and be of us, says Elder Evans to Tolstoi. He recounts the points 011 which Tolstoi and the Shakers agree. Both inculcate celibate lives and community of property. Tho American disciples of mother Ann Lee have reduced both these cardinal doctrines to absolnte practice. The good Shaker brother also declares that Tolstoi is practically, speaking after tho manner of unregeuerato Americandom.all right, and that he is personally ministered to by a Christ spirit, as Jesus was. It is only anti-Christ, Elder Evans explains, that has made a God out of esus.

The elder says, moreover, that a Shaker preacher years ago predicted a mighty outpouring of tho divine spiritual religion in Russia, the religion taught and professed by the Shakers, that is to say Is Tolstoi its apostle?

The failure of a bank in Illinois will causo serious loss and inconvenience tc some savage chiefs on the Congo, it is said. Tho reason of it was that the bank was tho depository of a considerable fund which supported tho Congo missions that were under tho charge of Bishop Taylor. Tho missionaries appeal to have practiced buying native children from the chiefs and putting them into the Christian schools. They called this "redeeming" the youthful negroes. They edncated them to civilized lives. The missionaries got loys for nothing, but girls they hail to pay thirty dollars apiece for. Meantime tho chiefs got rich and fat, and everybody was happy all around. 11 soeiiis, however, a peculiar way of suppressing the slave trade.

Largo cities ought to have at least one municipal lodging house, apart from the police stations, whero decent strangers who have 110 money can go for a night's lodging. It often happens that excellent peoplo who aro not acquainted with city ways find themselves in need of just snch a lodging houso. Women and children get lost, strangers aro robbed and swindled, and for other reasons want police protection. It is not fair to them to put them into a lodging with police criminals. Decent, cleanly quarters ought to be provided.

In all that pertains to art, science, wealth, prosparity, power and prestige the United States is going to lead and head English speaking nations, and other countries may as •well face the fact and acquiesce in it. Britons may lrick against oar reformed, shortened, common mi spelling, bat sooner or later they themselves will adopt it
