fl GREAT GH08T STORY. A Romance by Oscar Wilde.

From "Arthur Saville's Crimc, b' tho kind permission of the American Publishers, Messrs. Dodd, Mead & Co., Xew York.

VI. About ten minutea later the bell rang for tea, and, as Virginia All not come down, Mrs. Otis sent up one of the footmen to tell her. After a iittle time ho returned and said th.it he could not find Miss Virginia anywhere. As ehe whs in the habit of going out to tho garden every evening to get flowers for the dinner table Mrs. Otis was not at all alarmed at first, but when G o'clock" struck and Virginia did not appear ehe became really agitated, and sent the boys out- to look for her, while ehe herself and Mr. Otis searched every room in the house. At fi:30 the boys came back and eaid that they could fnd no trace of their eieter anywhere. They were all now in the greatest state of excitement, anJ did not know what to do when Mr. Otis suddenly remembered that aome few days before he had given a band of gypsies permission to camp in the park. He accordingly at ence set otf for Blackfell Hollow, where he knew they were, accompanied rv hi eldest eon and two cf tha farm 6crvant3. The little duke cf Cheshire, who wa3 perfectly frantic with anxiety, bexjeii hard to be allowed to go, too. but Mr. Otis would net adow Lira, as ha was afraid there might ever, be found that the gvpwies had gone, and it was evident that their departure had been rather ßud len. a the fire was ttill burning, and eome plates wer lying on the gra?t. Having sent off Washington ami the two men to scour the district, he ran home and dispatched telegrams to all the police inspectors in the county, tellin them to look out for a litt;e girl who had been kidnepel by tramp? or gyities. lit then orb-red hi horse to be brought round and. after inidtinur on his wife and tho three boys sitting down to dinner, rode oil' down the Ascot load with a groom, lie had hardly, however, gone a couple of miles wl en he heard somebody galloping after him. and, looking around, saw the little Duke coming up ou his pony, with hid face very tlushed and no h.it. "I'm awfully sorry, Mr. Utis." gasped out tlio boy. "hut 1 can't ?at any dinner a.i Ion; as Virginia is lost. I'leaeo", don't be artery with me; if you bad let us been engaged lat year tho:e ould never have Leon all this trouble. You won't send me lack, will you? I an'tgo! 1 won't p-)!" The minister could not help smiling at the handsome younj: ecapixraco, anfl raa t good deal toucted at h;n devotion to Virginia, so leaning down from his horee he patted him on the shoulders and said: 'Well, Cecil, if you won't go back I t-up-jose you munt come with me, and 1 must get you a hat at ."cot." "Oh, bother rav hat! I want Virginia!" cried the little lake, laughing, and they galloped on to the railway station. There 5lr. Otis inquired of the station tnr.stt r if any one answering to the description of Virginia had been 8-n on the platform, but could get no news of her. Tho ßtation irater, however, wired up nrul down the line, and assured him that a strict watch trould be kept for her, and, after having bought a hat for the litt e Duke from a linen draper, who was just putting up tiia eh utters, .'dr. Uis rode o!F to Hoi ley, a village about four miles which he was told .aj a welll nown haunt of the gypsits, as there wan n large common next to it. Here they roused up the rural policeman, but could get no information from him, end, after riding all over the common, they turned their horses' heads homeward, and reached the Chase about 11 o'clock, dead tired and almost heartbroken. They found Washington and the twins waiting for thera at the gate houne with laiitorn?, as the avecue was very dark. Not the slightest trace of Virciuia had been discovered. The cypsie had been caught on Hrockley lntadowe. but she was not with them, and they had explained their sudden departure by savin? that they had mistaken the date of Ciorto fair, and had gne otf in a hurry for fear they might b5 late. Indeed, tliey had licen quitts distressed at hearing ot irzinia's lisatn earance, ax they were very irrattful to Mr. Otis for bavins allowed them to camp in his pirk, and four of their number had stayed behind to help in the search. The carp pond had been dragged, nod t!ie whole Chase thoroughly gone over, but without any result. It wr.H evident that, for that night a: any rate, Virginia was lost to thetu; and il was in a Mate of the deepest depression that Mr. Otis aid the boys walked t:p to tie hnu?c, the groom following behind with the two horses and the pony. In the hall they found at roup of frightened servants, and lying en a sofa in the library an poor Mrs. Otis, almost out of her mind with terror and anxiety, and having her forehead bathed with eau de colcgne by the old housekeeper. Mr. Otia at once iniifted on her having iomething to eat, and ordered up supper tor the whole pr.rty. It was a melancholy meal, as hardly any one spoke, and even the twins were awestruck and HUbdued, as they were very fond of their Bieter. When thev Lai tiniehed, Mr. Otis, in spite of the entreaties of the littlo duke, ordered them ad to Ud, sityii:g that nothing more could be done that night, and that ho would telegraph in the morning to fccotland Yard for some detectives to be eent down immediately. Just m they were passing out cf the dining room midnight Legan to boom from the clock tower, and when the last stroke rounded ttiey herd a crash and a sudden shrill cry, a dreadful peal fcf thunder tilled the house, a strain of unearthly music floated through the air, a panel at the tori of the staircase tlew b.v k w ith a loud noise, an! out on the landing, looking verr Ple and white, with a little casket in her hand, stepped Virginia. In a moment they had all rushed up to her. Mr". Otia c jiteI her pa.sionatly in her arms, the duke exothere 1 her with violent kisses and th twins executed a wild war dance around the irronp. "Good heaven! child, where have you been? ' said Mr. Otis, rather angrily, thinking that she had been piaying some fWlah trick on them. "Cecil an J I have been riding all over the country looking for you, and your mother has been frightened to death. You must never play these practical jokes any more." "Except on the ghost! except on tha abost!" shrieked the twin, as they capered about. "My own darling; thank God you are found; you must never leave my side again," murmured Mrs. Otis, a she kisxed the child and smoothed the tangled gold of her hair. "Papa." laid Virginia, ouietly, "I have been with the Ghost. lis is dead, and vou must come and see him. He had been very wicked, but he was really sorry for all that be had done, and he gave me this box of beautiful jewels before be died." The whole family gazed at her in mute amazement, but she was quite grave and serious; and, turning round ehe led thera

through the opening in the wainscoting down a narrpw, secret corridor, Washington following with alighted cand e, which he had caueht ud from tho tahlo. Finally

J they came to a grest oak door, studded it, it swung back on its heavy Linnes, and they found themselves in a litt e low room with a vaulted ceiling and one tiny grated window. Embedded in the wall was a huge iron ring, and chained to it was a gaunt skeleton that wag stretched out at full length on the stone floor, and seemed to be trying to grasp with its long, fieshless fingers an oldfashioned trencher and ewer that were placed just out of its reach. The jug had evidently been once filled with water, as it was covered inside with green mould. There was nothing on the trencher but a pile of dust. Virginia knelt down beside the skeleton, and", folding her little hands together, began to pray sdentlr, while the the rest of the party looked on in wonder at the terrible traiedy whose secret was row disclosed to them. "Hallo!" suddenly exclaimed one of the twins, w ho bad been looking out of the window to try and discover in what wiug of the house the room was situated. "Hallo! the old withered almond tree has blossomed. I can see the floweri quite plainly in the moonlight." "Go'd has forgiven him," said Virginia gravely, as she rose to her feet, and and a beautiful light seemed to illumine her face. "What an angel you are!" cried the vouDg Duke, and he" put his arm round her neck and kissed her. vir. Four days after theee curious incidents a funeral started from Canterville Chase at about 11 o'clock at nitfht. The hearse WHS drawn by eight black horses, each of w hich carried on its head a great tuft of nodding ostrich plumes, and the leaden citfin was covered by a rich purple pall, on which was embroidered in gold the Canterville coat-of-arms. Dy the side of tho hearse and the coaches walked the servants with lighted torches, and tho whole procession was wonderfully iniI rpssive. Lord Canterville was Hie chief mourner, having come up especially from Wales to attend the funeral, and sat in the first carriage along, with little Virginia. Then camo tin U. F. minister and his wife, then Washington and three boys, and in the last carriage was Mrs. I'raney. It whb generally felt that, as eho had been frightened by tho ghost for more than fifty years of her life, she had a right to t-ee the last of him. A deep gravo had been dug in the corner of the churchyard, juct under the old yew tree, and the service wan read in the most impreasivo manner by the ttev. Augustus Dnmpier. When the cererrony was over the servants, according to the old custom oIk eerved in the Canterville family, exj tinguished their torchee, and as the cotlin was belüg lowered into thi gravo Virginia stepped forward and laid on it a large cross madi) of white and pink almond niossom. as tne m i so me moon came out from behind a cloud and Hooded with it-t silent silver the iittle churchyard, and from a distnot copse a nightingale bean i to sing. Mio thought of the guost s dist ription of the garden of death, her eyes became lim with tears, ami plio hardly epoke a wor ! during the drive home. The next morning, before I.crd Canterville went up to town, Mr. Otis had an interview with him on the subject of the jewels tho ghost had given to Virginia. They were perfectly magnificent, especially a certain ruby necklace, w ith old Venetian setting, which was really a superb specimen of eixteenth-centurv work, and their value was so great that Mr. Otis felt considerable ecruples about allowing his daughter to accept them. "My lord," he said. "I know thatinthis country mortmain is held to apply to trinkets as well ad to land, and it is quite clear to me that these jewels are or should be heirlooms in your family. 1 must beg you, accordingly, to take them to London with you, and to regard them simply as a portion of your property which has been restored to you under certain strange conditions. As for my daughter, sho is merely a child and bus as yet, I am glad to eay, but little interest in euch appurtonancfs cf idie luxury. I am also informed by Mrs. Otia, who. 1 may eay, is no mean authority upon art, having had the privilege of spending eeveral winters in liohtun w hen she was a girl that these gems are of great monetary worth, and it oil'ered for ealo would fetch a tad price. I'uder these circumstauces, Lord Canterville, I feel sure that you will recognize how impossible it would be for me to allow them to remain in tl e possession of any member of my fami.y: and, indeed, all euch vain gauds and toys, however suitable or necessary to the dignity of the British aristocracy, would bo completely out of place among those who have been brought up on tha severe, and I believe immortal, principles of republican simplicity. Perhaps I should mention that Virginia is very anxious that you should allow her to retuin the box cs a memento of your unfortunate and miuided ancestor. As it 13 extremely old, and consequently a good deal out of repair, you may perhaps think it fit to comply with hr request. For my own part, I confe-s I am a good deal surprised to find a child ot mine expressing sympathy with medievalism in any form, and can only account for it by the fact that Virginia was born in one of your London suburbs shortly after Mrs. Otis had returned from atrip to Athens." Lord Canterville li-dened very gravely to tho worthy minister's speech, pulling bis gray mustach now and then to hide an involuntary smile, and when Mr. Otis had ended, he shook hitn cordially by tha hand and said: ".My dear 6ir, your charming littie daughter rendered my unlucky ancestor, ir Simon, a very important eerice, ana 1 and my family are much indebted to her for her marvelous courage and ptuck. The jewels are clearly hers, and, egad, I believe that if I were heartlesx enough to take them from her, tho wicked old fellow would be out of his grave in a fortnight leading me the devil of a life. As for their being heirlooms, nothing is an heirloom that is not so mentioned in a will or leeal document, and the exigence of these jewels bar bren quit unknown. 1 assure you I have no more claim on them than your butler, and when Miss Virginia grows up I dare Bay she will be pleased to have prettv things to wear. F.esides, you forsret, Mr. Otis, that you took the furniture and the ghost at a valuation, and anything that belonged to the ghost passed at once into your possession, as whatever activity Sir fc'imon may have shown In the corridor at niht, fa point of law be wax really dead, and you acquired his property by purchase." Mr. Otis was a good deal distressed at Lord Canterville's refusal, and besged him to reconsider his decision, but the goodcatured peer was quite firm, and finally

induced the minister to allow his daughter to retain the present the ghost had given her, and when in the spring ot lS'.K) the young duchess of C heshire was presented at the queen's first drawing room on the occasion of her marriage, her jewels were the universal theme of admiration. For Virginia received the coronet which ja tho reward of all good iittle American girls, and was married to her boy lover as soon as he came of age. They were both to charming and they loved each other so much that every one was delighted at the match, except the old marchioness of Dumbleton. who had tried to catch the duke for one of her seven unmarried daughters, and had given no lees than three expensive dinner parties for that purpose, and, etrange to eay, Mr. Otis himself. Mr. Otis was extremely fond of the young duke personally, but theoretically he objected to titles, and, to use his own words'was not without apprehension lest, amid the enervating influences ot a ploasure-Ioving aristocracy, the true principles of republican simplicity ehould not be forgotten." Iiis objections, however, were completely overruled, and I believe that when he walked up the aisle of St. George, Hanover square, with his daughter leaning on his arm. there was not a prouder man in the whole length and breadth of England. The duke and duchess, after the honeymoon was over, went down to Canterville Chase, and on the day after their arrival they walked over in the afternoon to the lonely churchvird by the, pine woods. There had been a great deal of difficulty at first about the inscription on Sir Simon's tombstone, but finally it ha ) been decided to engrave on it simply the initials of the old gentleman's name and the verse from the library window. The duchess had brought with her some lovely ropes, which Fhe strewed upon the grave, and after they had stood by it for some time they etrolled into the ruined chancel of tha old abbey. There the duchess sat down on a fallen pillar, while her husband lay at her feet rmokiDg a cigarette and looking up at her beautiful eyes. Suddenly he threw his cigarette away, took her hand, and said to her, "Virginia, a wife should have no secrets from her husband." 'Dear Cecil! I have no secrets from you." "Yes you have," be answered, smiling. "You have never told me what happened to you wben vou were locked up with tho ghost." "I have never told anyone, Cecil," eaid Virginia, (cravely. "I know thatbut you might tell me." Tlease don't auk me, Cecil: 1 cannot tell you. i'oor Sir Simon ! I owe him a good deal. Ye, don't laugh, Cecil. I really do. He made mo seo what life is and what death signifies, and why love is stronger than both." t&The duke rose and kissed his wife lovingly. "You can have your secret as Ion; as I have your heart," he murmured. "You have always bad that, Cecil." "And you will tell our children some day, won't you?" Virginia blushed. THE SINGLE TAX.

Answering; th Question: "Wull It Cor. rujit Our Politic?" To the Editor Sir: Among the staple objections to the plan of the single tax, as proposed by Henry George and now advocated by so largo a body of supporters, we often hear it urged that taking the full rental value of land in taxation would yield such sn enormous amount that its administration "would' rapidly bring into activiiy an amount of corruption, favoritism and general demoralization that would bo simply appalling." For the benefit ot tho who are inclined to fear such a predicted increase of these evils, it should bo said that it is claimed (and has never been proven false) that taking the rental value of Ian 1 in taxation would etop land speculation, lower the price of land, open opportunities for labor to such an extent that involuntary idleness would dioappear, raisq wages and make thu workman independent. Now, euppose that politicians and office-holders should steal a 1 of this immense fund, except enough to run the government, is it not evident that the people at largo would still retain all these advantages that I have enumerated? Is it not clear that this immenso revenue gooa now into tho pockets of land owners. What diderence to the disadvantage of the mass of the people would it make if politicians should get it instead of tho landlords? As it is now, the landlords take the land rents and let the people pay the taxes. If our plan were adopted ground rents would pay all the charges of government and leave the people not taxed all. Hut what reason la there to think that stealing would increase under the new plan? It seems to me that the standard of honesty must rise with the standard of independence of thtf masses and in proportion as the fear of coming want decreases, hich fear it largely is that make people dishonest.

CHARGED WITH LIGHTNING.

DON'T SHAKE HANDS WITH AN ELECTRIC L WORKER. Th IneonvsnUnes tha Indostrlsina John Morgan Ia tu Htmaalf unit Fmtmltj 11 Carr.ea Electricity About Ilian That Brtnmea Aetlr ad Knocke People Iawa Under frepr Conditions. There is a scientist hereabouts whose imagination is as lively as bis learning ia profound and investigations many. A reporter eat with him on a motor car the other day and this was the story he told: "About two weeks ago," he eaid, "John Morpran, a workman in one of the electrical works m-ir here, cams home and WAshicr, rre jaratory to his evening meal, set bis littlo tfirl on his lap. She had in her hand a smoothing iron. When he picked her up he cauzht the iron in one hand and the little girl in the other. She immediately dropped as if shot. His wife coming up at this moment, esked what was th matter. He could not explain it, and a doctor, who was called in, could find nothing the matter with the child who had recovered. One evening pome time after, Mr. Morgan on coming home happened to place his hands on his wife's shoulders. She, as the child had done, dropped to the ground. Sho recovered in a few minutes, but could only say ehe thought lihtninf bad struck her. "These facts coming to my ears," continued the scientist, "I determined to investigate the matter. I went to see Morgan and tried some experiments on bim. Taking a email dynamo of one-tenth horsefwver I found that if he touched both the ead wires that the amature would revolve slowly. I also took a small incandescent lamp, and w hen he touched the leads a faint licht was shown. I was astonished, and, examining him closely, found him to be a perfect living battery of no email power. His right side was charged positive!' and the hair on that side of bis head on his coming from the works, stood straight up as if electrified. His left side on the contrary was iu a normal condition. He stat. s that this condition baa only shown ii?elf eitice he has worked in the electrical works. On his staying at home for a few days all tho electricity in his body ceems to leak out, and be reaches a normal condition. "Another peculiar condition," the scientist remarked, "is the fact that Morgan is not only a battery, but beems to be a magnet as well. While in the shop his 6hoes will become so clogged with filings end nail.s as to uiato it unpleasant and sometimes impossible to walk unless he picks them off. This i especially true of his right shoe, and has attracted considerahie comment in the shop. In order to rid himself of the charge of electricity he hns bad constructed in the yard two fioles supporting an iron rod. When 10 comes home from work be bangs on the rod and in a few moments has discharged tho electricity from him. He teems to suflerno inconvenieuce from tho discharge) and immediately is in a normal f täte. The reason for this ia not known, and so far I have no explanation to offer. It is the lirstcitse of the kind I have ever known and I intend to investigate it thoroughly. 1 learned that before ho noticed this curious effect he bad been sick and had taken a great deal of imn into his system in order to dense it. This may explain part of the reason, but why, cow, after all this has disappeared from his system, he Bhould continue to be a magnet no one knows." THE MAY DAY.
