CHAPTER II. iSynnpxix of fYerreding Chapter.) CHAPTER I. Langford finds Philip Davarls ft Greek violinist. In New York after the latter has been on a mysterious Journey. Finds a telegram dated Paris: "Oome at once Important discoveries. Helene'* Who Is Helene? The two friends go to Lenox later. Davarls s strange agitation at meeting a society girl, Gladys Montague. It was a rather embarrassing situation —Davarls standing there very much confused, Langford watching him curiously. Miss Montague puzzled-and all three were glad to see Mrs. Hamlyn approaching from the dowrway. She greeted Lnngfordgordlally, was presented to Davarls, who had recovered self-possession enough to smile and say he uas delighted to meet her. Miss Montague Improved the opportunity to escape, saying she would find Constance. While she was gone, Lawrence and Thurston were seen strolling up the driveway arm In arm. Never were two men more unlike in pereonal appearance than these bosom companions. Lawrence was extremely tall and slender; Thurston, short and pudgy. Lawrence ha 1 dark brown eyes, brown curly hair and regular features; Thurston's eyes were light blue, almost colorless, his hair sandy, and his nose had a decided tendency upward. Yet Thurston was well liked despite his unprepossessing appearance. There was a certain rugged manliness, a certain firmness amounting almost to obstinacy that commanded admiration. Yet he was very reserved. ho did not make acquaintances freely, and he was liable to form prejudices that wore often as ill-advised as unreasonable. Lawrence was hall-fellow, well-met with every one; yet there were a few people w ho did not like him. Some of the ultra-fusiiionablos had a dim, dark suspicion that he occasionally wrote for the newspapers, and that was quite enough to kill him socially. But they never had any direct proof of this, and so he drifted on a welcome guest at more than one country house during tho summer, and a member of a swell bachelor's club in town during the winter. “I tell you It isn't any -se, Thurston,” he was saying, dolefully, as they walked along. “Every time I try to talk to her she snubs mo unmercifully; she brings me up with a round turn! Now what would you do? Suppose you were in my place, and a girl was very distant and cold to you—almost rude sometimes—how wtuld you treat her? I have tried being merely civil, but she Is more disdainful than ever; I have showed that I wag angry, but that only amuses her; I have tried to apra-ar indifferent, but can't make It go; I have boon very nice to her and tried to please her, but she snubs me more and moie. I am tired to death ol her everlastingly saucy ‘Do you really think so?’ and her indifferent 'Is it, really?'’ She never talks that way to any of the other men. You are an old hand at this sort of thing, Thurston, and can’t you give me some advice?” Lawrence looked appealingly at his friend, who paused aud laughed. "My dear boy,” he said, "I thought you knew more about girls than that. If 1 were to give my opinion of the matter, 1 should say she either loved you or hated you; you should And out for yourself. His companion laughed nervously. "But how am I to do that?" be asked. ' Hum—easiest thing in the world. 1 should advise you to Ignore Miss Montague as much as possible; there Is nothing like a little wholesome neglect. Flirt desperately with some other girl. Of course I don’t mean that you should be rude to her; there’s no need of that. Suppose, for instance, we go on the piazza there, where I see Mrs. Hamlyn and those two men—now men, aren’t they? I never saw them before. Well, suppose Miss Montague and Miss Hamlyn come i.Ait, as ol course they will, don’t pay much attention to Gladys; if she greets you coldly, give her the same medicine, and talk to Constance. Try my tactics for awhile, my dear boy. I’ll help you out.” "I’ll do It, od fellow!” and Lawrence seized his friend’s hand and wrung it with

vigor.

‘■What’s ail this about?” exclaimed a high pitched voice behind them. “Some deep, dark conspiracy being concocted, 1

fancy,"

The two men turned and saw a short dumpy woman, who had evidently been walking, for her plump cheeks shook like jolly, almost completely burying a deep dimple in one side of her face, and her breath came in short Jerks. “Oh, no, Mrs. Havermeyer," Lawrence answered, readily. "It U only a very innoce&t little compact." Mrs. Havermeyer plumped herself down In a rustic chair on the lawn under a shade tree, and fanned herself vigorously with a newspaper she had in her hand. "Have you seen anything of Charlie?” she asked. "That boy ran off after breakfast and I haven’t seen him since." "No,” answered Lawrence. "I don’t know where he is." “Well, if you see him, please send him hero immediately. 1 must see him and I 1 cannot go another step." The two men moved away, but instead ! of joining tho group on tho piazza immo-! dlately they went into the billiard room ! where they found a youth nattily attired in tennis flannels knocking tho balls aim- 1 lessly about, to whom they delivered tho

message.

Young Ilarormoycr reluctantly put up his cue, placed his eye-glass In position, muttered something very disrespectful about "the old woman,” and walked off. ! It was shortly after, that Lawrence and Thurston mot Davarls for the Ilr»t time. On the piazza Mrs. Hamlyn presented the Greek to tnera.

The library wag of billiards, leaving Davarls seated in a a 8mal1 ro,,m ' darkened by closed shutebair tete-a-tete with Gladys, who was! ters. In tho dim light Davarls vaguely lounging gracefully in tho hammock, and noticed that It was fairly loaded down Lawrence leaning against the railing of with bric-a-bric,old coins In antique trays, the piazza looking down upon Constance scimitars, old fire-lock guns, Egyptian Hamlyn, who ha l placed herself effective-] daggers and rare tapestries. The long

ly in a huge wicker-work plazza-chalr. And Lawrence was not to lie blamed for looking at Constance Hamlyn, as she made a delightfully pretty picture. She was of a rather ethereal type of beauty, she looked so fiagile, so delicate. Her features were immature; there was something of a baby look in her face. Her shelllike ears; thin, straight nose with sensitive nostrils; full Ups with their yet undeveloped curves; her large, wondering, almost chlld-llke blue eyes; her petite, supple figure leaning back in the chair; made a picture that any man might havs

an excuse for looking at twice.

But Lawrence's devotion was not altogether genuine. He stole glances towards the other end of the piazza whore Gladys was In the hammock, to see what she thought of his action. She appeared tob« wholly engrossed in the Greek, however and was talking vivaciously with him, smiling and then listening to his replies with a flattering attention. Lawrence pulled the ends of his moustache, and thought that after all Thurston’s great scheme was not infallible. But he had tried it scarcely fifteen minutes. Surely Gladys must notice It. He had alwny* been so different. If she happened tc Come into a room where he was, he would leave tho person ho was talking with —almost rudely sometimes—and immediately come to her; when si e was about he had no eyes for any one else. Surely she must see that something was wrong; that he had changed In his manner toward*

her.

For a time, however, hs did nobly; he followed Thurston’s advice with some success, ns fur us flirting with another girl was concerned. He entered Into a delightful, breezy talk with Constance Hnmiyn. and if Gladys had been listening, she would have heard a good deal ulamt a certain ribbon and handkerchief aud some nonsense about keeping it forever and never giving it back, and then a merry laugh from Constance, followed by another equally merry from Lawrence. He managed to keep this up for half an hour or more, and then lie-pan to show a little uneasiness. He glanced more and more often at Davarls, and gave some very random answers to some of Constance's questions. “On, yes; I think she can be very nice," he said. Constance laughed. “I w as asking you if you like the paperchases.” Lawrence blushed furiously. "Oil!" he exclaimed. "Yes, I think they are good fun, sometimes.” "Don’t move, plestho,” came suddenly from the end of the plazzi, and Lawrence was glad of something to divert bis attention, for there was Havermeyer with a detective camera in bis hand. “Are you going to include us all?" asked Lawrence. "Yeth," said Havermeyer. He pressed a button, turned some Indicators, and remarking, "There, I've got you," walked off with a satislied air.

"That man your father?" Davnrin nail Lawrence finally grew desperate, and succeeded In taking Constance off to play a set of tennis; he could not endure th* sight of t;ie Greek talking so confidentially with Gladys. ‘ And are you and Mr. Langford such great friends?" Gladys was saying, looking up with nor tiaik eyes tiaoJ on tts

Greek’s face.

"Indeed we are. F.ver since we were In college wo have been quite Inseparable.’ "I like to see these friendships between men; they are so rare. They seem so different from the friendships we girls have among ourselves. Think of two men loving one another! And do you tell one another everything tb“wey Cnnstanee and I do? Don’t you sometimes have secret* you never speak of?" Davarls looked toward the floor of the piazza and followed a crack In the boards with his cane. He did not look up when

he answered:

“I am afraid we do not carry it quite so

far as that."

It cost him something to make this reply’. He remembered what had happened In town before they came away; he remembered that there was something he could not tell any one. But he did not laugh aside her question as most men would. IIo gave her a frank, truthful an-,

swer. Gladys had tho tact to see that she cha, ‘* e,1 u P on ,he ch,l(l •‘ art * D * to * lh ° o1

windows opened on the piazza, and through one of these, they passed into tin room. The place was so much cooler than the outside air that Davarls shivered involuntarily as soon as Miss Montagu* closed the shutters of the window back ol them. The carpet was very soft, his feel sinking Into it at every stop. Out of doors they could hear voices from the tennh court, mingled occasionally with HavermCyer’s well-known laugh, but save this everything about them was still. Davarlt watched Miss Montague move about In hei languidly graceful way, and something made him wish that be had never corn* Into that room. Her beauty did not Impresi Itself on him at all in that dim light; sh« looked so dark and her large eyes wore so bright that they were almost unpleasant to him. She took a portfolio from a table, and then they seated themselves bv a window on another side of the room, M ss Montague drew back the curtains slightly, and when the bright light penetrated the room, Davarls felt relieved; it wasas if the sun had suddenly emerged

from a cloud.

For a few moments they were busy over the pb tines, G'adys taking them from the portfolio and handing them to Davarls with a running tiro of questions and comment. Then I e saw her put her hand down into the lining of the portfolio which was torn, and take a small photograph from it. Her face flushed with Joy, and she said with a laugh : “Oh. the -B it is! It hns been lost for so long!” and she loo' o 1 at the prclure with

earer eye*.

Davarls looked Inquiring!y’at her. "Il is a picture of my father—the last one he ever had taken,” she said, answering his unasked question. Davarls, not saving a word, strelched out his hand, and she gave the picture to him mechanically. He took It and looked at it anxiously. S e no'.lce 1 his hand was

shaking.

It was a picture of a man a little over thirty years of age, with long sweeping side-whiskers which read ed below Ids coat collar, a smooth-shaven chin, handsomely cut nose and Ups. Ills head was finely shaped and slightly bal l at the temples. He was In the uniform of a colonel In the regular United Stites Army, and on his breast were two or three deco-

rations.

’ That man—your father?" Davarls said looking up suddenly aud gazing at her earnestly. ’ Yes," she answered, a lltt'o startle 1 at the look on the Greek's f.ice. “He died in Rome ten years ago. Ho was a colonel in the army, but was on tho retired list. He hid been In Greece—that is where he collected all these photographs. The picture was taken in Baris about a month, 1 think, before he died. And I m so glad I have found It again; It Is the only picture I have of 1dm, and you cannot think how I

prize it!"

Gladys did not know what made her tell this compaialive stranger about her father, but there was a questioning appeal in his dark eyes; there was a look of sympathetic s.iduoss in tijoir soft depths. Davarls laid the picture down on the table, and they continued to look over the otuer photographs, but sue noticed he glanced uneasily at tho photograph of her father several times. Gladys was w.iore she could see out of the window and command a view of the driveway, and suddenly she stalled up with a little scream, letting the portfolio and the pictures fall on the floor in disorder. Homing down the road at a tearing pace was tho dog-cart, with Mrs. Hamlyn in it alone, and the horse unmanageable. The coachman was nowhere to be seen, and evidently had been thrown out. Gladys rushed out on the pinzza just in time to see Langford make a leap into the air. catch the biidlt of the horse skilfully, nnd cling for dear life. Langford was tossed about on this side and on that, but at last succeeded in cramping t ie hea 1 of the frightened horse and stopping him. Davaris closely followe 1 Miss Montague from the library and almost at the same instant Lawrence came around the corner of the house. After that everything was in confusion. Mrs. Hamlyn had fainted, Constance was screaming, servants were rushing about for restoratl’v»o (Mi-j Havermeyer eppea'-pit to be the only one who retained his presence of mind, for he attempted to take a picture of Mrs. Hamlyn, who had collapsed gracefully on the lawn. In the excitement no one noticed that Lawrence glanced darkly at Davarls several times; no one noticed that tho Greek Improved an early opportunity to excuse himself and leave. At last when quiet was restored, Davarls and Langford gone, and Mrs. Hamlyn put to bed, Gladys went back into the library to put away the photographs. She picked them up from the floor, and then looked on the table for the picture of her father. Not seeing It there, she searched the portfolio carefully, and then becoming alarmed, the whole room. 8he called in the servants aud questioned them, but none of them had even been into tho room.

The art of taxidermy is now practiced by thousands of naturalists and ornithologists, and many sportsmen have become so adept at it that they are no longer obliged to send the specimens which they wish to have preserved to a professional, but can prepare and mount them themselves in the way they wish to have them, and in this way many amateurs have secured most valuable collections, serving as excellent souvenirs of many a delightful day’s shooting, and many an exciting hunting adventure. One of the most remarkable stuffed skins on record w’as that of Valerian, emperor of Rome, who was taken prisoner and afterward kept in chains by Sapor, king of Persia. He was either killed in a tumult, or by order of his conqueror, who was perhaps fearful of losing his valuable living trophy, in the year 309. The body of the dead Roman emperor was treated with no more delicacy than when it had held the immortal spark of a living one. It wns skinned, the hide, after being tanned, was stuffed, painted red and suspended in the chief temple of the capital. It remained here for many years, and was the popular spectacle for holiday makers and visitors from the country. But it was put to more important ends than this; it was made a diplomatic engine of much significance and efficiency. In after times it often happened that the Roman envoys at the Persian court had misunderstandings, more or less serious, with the government to which they were temporarily accredited. When these ambassadors from Rome grew arrogant in their demands It was the custom to conduct them into the presence of the stuffed skin of the old ex-emperor of Rome, where they were asked If humility did not become them at sight of such a

spectacle.

young wok *0 who is takiuK Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. In maidenhood, womanhood. wifehood and motherhood the “ Prescription” is a supporting tonic and u e r v i n e that’s peculiarly adapted to her needs, regulating, strengthening and curing the derangements of the sex. Why is it so many women owe their be-auty to Dr Pierce’s Favorite Prescription ? Because beauty of form anel face radiate from the common center—health. The best bodily condition results from good food, fresh air and exercise coupled with the judicious use of the “Prescription.” If there be headache, pain in the back, bearing-down sensations, or general debility, or if there be nervous disturbance, nervous prostration, and sleeplessness, the “Prescription” reaches the origin of the trouble and corrects it. It dispels aches and pains, corrects displacements and cures catarrhal inflammation of the lining membranes, falling of the womb, ulceration, irregularities and kindred maladies. “FALLING OF WOMB.” Mrs. Frank Camfield, of /■.'.!st Dickinson. Franklin Co.. N. , writes : ” I deem it| my duty to express my deep, heart felt gratli tude to you for having been the means, under I Providence, of restor- ! ing me to health, for I i have been by spells unlab 1 e to walk. My troubles were of the ' womb — inflammatory , and bearing-down sen-' i salions and the doctors [ all said, they could not " j cure me. Twelve bottles of Dr. ^ Rs - CAMFIELD. Pierce's wonderful Favorite Prescription has cured me.”

Deluded by Itasrally Traveling Dentists Into Knylng Sets of Fslss .Molars. “There is many a New England village in which you will hardly find a natural tooth," said a dental surgeon to a Washington Star writer. "That is to say, not an adult Inhabitant will possess any teeth of his own. All of the grown-up people wear false teeth. This rather odd state of affairs is due to the operations of certain unscrupulous persons who go about the country with false teeth for sale. One of these fellows will go through a village and literally pull every tooth in the place. To take the places of the teeth extracted he offers artificial sets at eight dollars. In rural parts, for obvious reasons, people very commonly suffer from toothache. The malady is distressing, aud the customary way to get rid of it is to have the tooth drawn. No dentist is at hand to restore the afflicted grinder to a healthy condition by filling. The peripatetic quack comes along with his forceps nnd offers to give final and permanent relief from all such suffering in future. For the small sura of eight dollars he will remove all the natural teeth from a customer's head and substitute for them an artificial set of much better appearance, which will never cause any pain to the wearer. By this attractive offer the people are deluded into parting with the chewing apparatus with which nature has furnished them, and the result is a toothless population. As you are probably aware, tooth pulling is rarely resorted to by a good dentist, Inasmuch as it must tie an extraordinarily bad tooth that cannot be fixed up so as to be better than any false one." A HISTORIC HOV/DAH.

was treading on dangerous ground, aud she immediately changed the subject. Davarls was silent aud gloomy. The train of refleefjnna b«r question brought up overpowered him for a moment.

Tbe Indian Government Iledurlng the Number of Its Trained Elephant*. The order has gone forth to break up the expensive establishment in India known as the “Howdah Khana." Already the roll of government elephants In all India has been reduced to between two hundred and three hundred instead of one thousand, at which it lately stood in North India alone, says the Westminster Budget. As railways penetrate the great fighting frontier districts, elephants, which still, as in the days of Alexander the Great, arc scared in battle, are being less and less used to drag tho heavy batteries. Mules are preferred for mountain warfare. Even native princes are content with one elephant or so, where formerly they kept a score. The Scotsman remarks that state ceremonials and processions are no longer what they were up to John Lawrence's time, when even that sim-nlieity-loving viceroy held the grandest ».f all dunbars at Agra, around and near the Taj Mahal. Only the governor general's silver howdah is to be kept there, and one or two state elephants. That historic howdah was furbished up under the artistic arrangements of Lady Canning for her husband's viceregal progress after the mutiny. It has been used by almost every British ruler in India since tho first Warren Hustings. Around it circle the memoirs of more than a century’s wars and pageants; but even that has become a victim to the depreciated rupee and the irresistible railway. A Fatfti King. Queen Christina of Spain recently presented to Our Lady of Almudcada a valuableopul ring that belonged to her late husband, Alfonso XII. Alfonso gave the ring to his first wife, Queen Mercedes, just before her sudden death; it then went to the king’s grandmother, old Queen Christina, the mother of Isabella II. She died two months after receiving the ring and left it to Mercedes'sister, Maria del Pilar, daughter of the Duke of Moutpcusier, who also died after a few months, ns did also her sister Christina, who inherited the ring from her. Alfonso then determined that no one else should wear the fatal opal, and took it himself; within two months he was buried. This story is believed in Spain; so to prevent further harm the queen has given it to the

Virgin.

The U. S. Senate as it now stands consists of forty-four Democrats, thirty-six Republicans and five Populist*, with three vacancies. Of the thirty-two outgoing senators fltteen are Democrats and seventeen Republicans. Their places and the three vacancies will bo filled, when all the elections have been held, by ten Democrats, twenty-four Republicans and one Populist-Republican Fusionist (Butler of North Carolina), so that the next senate will stand thirty-nine Democrats, forty-three Republicans and six Populists. Two or three of the latter will affiliate with the Republicans. j False teeth for horses, which were suggested hy the president of a Franch humane society a few years ago, have actually been invented and are coming into general use in
