The Great Tontine HAWLEY SMART Author m! "Brobn Bond. "Sound ts Win Ew.

CHAPTER XXI. It was in a very somber moxl that Jack Phillimore wended his way to the Temple. Ixrd Lakinton had accorded him this much, that Iiis friend Rinjrwood might go down to Rydknd as the Viscount's representative and see Mr. Krabbe, whom Mr. Pegram candidly avowed to be bis nominee in, the "Great Tontine." "It is a wild chance," thought Jack, "and I suppose, as such, oiijht to be tried; but I am afraid it is little likely that Ronald will discover anything that may prevent this marriage. They will show him Mr. Krabb, just as they showed me Mr. Krabbe, and he will know that It is not the real man ; but what is the use of that? We cannot prove it. He may make any amount of inquiries he likes in Rydland, and they will all tell him the same story that Mr. Krabbe lives in that cottage, and has done so ever since he broke down and became past work. Rinjrwood will feel sure, as he is cow, that all these people have been bamboozled by the Pegrams. But there, again, neither my uncle nor anybody else bar Hemmingby will believe us. I declare. If Uingwood declines to go I "hall reaUy not be able to blame him." Yoi never called here.' and consequently never got my note," said Ringwood, as he welcomed his visitor ; "I left a line for you.- What did you do in "Worse than nothing. I doubt very much whether, under any circumstances, it was possible ever to have done anything. Henmingby was quite right ; I did not impose upon hirn as the sailor one bit. And yesterday I followed your advice, and went and saw my uncle, and that was not a bit of use either; that confounded old Welsh villain had written up a most plausible account of our interview, owning, with affected candor, that his nominee was Mr. Krabbe, begging my nncle to send anybody he liked to see and Inquire into his identity. The marriage takes place next week, and I see no hope of exposing the Pegrams before that, unless you think you are likely to make anything out of your interview with old Krabbe." "My interview with old Krabbe! What fio you mean?" I forgot to tell you. Clinging to what leems to be my last chance, I persuaded my uncle to take Pegram at his .vord. and send some one down to Rj-dlard to see this "nominee of him. You must try Rinjrwood ; you are sharper than me, and may detect the' fraud, cleverly as it ha3 been contrived. I doubt whether I should make more ef it than you did ; but I will own to feeling a curiosity to see the impersonator of a man whom we firmly believe to be dead, on insufficient ground though it may be. Still, I have a bit of real good news for you ; you will have to Bee Lord Lakington again, and I think I can promise you that you will find him then quite aj keen to break off this marriage as you tan wish." "You speak in ridd'es." "Terence Finnigan L; found." "Wha! Miss Caterhim's missing nominee ! Are you quite sure it is the right man?" "Quite. I went down to Portsmouth yesterday with Miss Chichester to see hir. She identified him at once." 'Hurrah!" exclaimed Jack, springing from his chair, and pacing the room with rapid strides in his. excitement. "With a third person in it, their arrangement becomes impossible-. It insures the wedding being put off, at all events ; and we shall learn the truth about Pegram's nominee before long. I have no doubt. By the way, I suppose you will hardly go down to see hin now." "I do not know ; you must remember that I am acting for Miss Caterham's heir aa well as endeavoring to help you. I should like to consult Ilemmingby about it." "Come along, then; let ns run across and tell him the news." The two young men proceeded at once to the "Vivacity," and after some little äelay were shown into the manager's aanctvm. Mr. Hemmingby listened with gnat Interest to Ringwood's story of the cisccvery of Finnigan. He roared with laughter at Jack's account of his interview with old Pegram. "I tell you what, Ringwood," said the manar at length, "I have an idea about this. I should like to take advantage of your going down as Lord Lakington's ao cr"lited agent to accompany you, and see Mr. Krabbe myself. You s3, I knew the old man for many years; and though I have a strong suspicion that whoever they have got in that cottage is not the real nan. yet I am curious to se an imitation frhich is bo food that it has undoubtedly deceive'! many people who knew him Quite well. I have another reason, which I have never mentioned to you as yet. When I endeavored to see him, I was Jrery much struck with the nurse who take care of him ; with the idea that I bad seen her before, and in a very different capacity. You go down to-morrow, call npon them that afternoon, and arrange to pay your visit about mid-day; never trouble abut me; I shall turn up as you knock at the cottage door. As for you. Mr. rhillimore, you will, of course, Inform the Viscount that the Tontine' is not reduced to a match yet ; and, consequently, the dividing of the stakes not'at present practicable." Lord Lakington was not a little disturbed by the announcement the next morning that Mr. Phillimore wanted to tee him. He felt quite certain that this Interview with his nephew was not likely to be a pleasant one. No sooner did Jack Phillimore make his appearance than th? Viscount hastened to exclaim : "Pray fit down. Delighted to see you, of course; but I trust that you have not come to reopen yesterday's conversation. It is impossible you can have heard anything from Rydland as yet. nor likely Indeed that you will find thse wild suspicions of yours substantiated. Now, my dear Jack, if you like to come to Beatrice's wedding we shall be very pleased to see you ; if. on the contrary, you think fit to feel aggrieved, very, well, stay away; but once for all. be good enough to understand that I decline al further dis?uslion on the subject.' "As far as discussion goes, certainly not, unless you like," replid Jack. "I have only com down this morning to put you in possession of a fact, not a suspicion, mind, and to point out the difference that that fact makes in the arrangement between you and Mr. Pegram. What I have to tell you is this. The nominee of the late Miss Caterham. who has been 10 long missing, has been found, is alive, tolerably well, and in no immediate danger of dying. Miss Chichester herself can tell you that ehe saw Finnigan alive for-fcy-eignt hours ajfo, and either Mr. RingWooJ or Mr. Carbuckle could tell you that the result of his being alive is as I ay." This makes a difference, exclaimed the Viscount; "that fellow Pegram always Insured me Miss Caterham's nomine was dead. It is not likely that Beatrice would marry into that sort of family if there ras any doubt about the settlements beng all right" 'Thea I suppose you will write by toht's post to Rydland to inform them

ei this discovery, and that, in conseqieflea the engagement m-ist be rogardJ as con pletely at an end." "Certainly; that is, if B.ntrice consents. I ruut of course consult her, and be guided by hor wishes." "Exactly," rejoined Jack. f.iUirg into the humor of his nobl. kinsman, and assisting him in the belief that he was a mod! father, whoe first on re was his wish to talk matters over with Triiie as daughter's happin"ss. "You no doubt wish to talk matters over with Trixie as soon as possible, so I will gt out of tha way."

CHAPTER XXII. Mr. Pegram was slightly disconcerted at not receiving a letter from Lord Lakir.gton by return of post, in answer to thi one which he had written detailing tha account of Jack Phillimore's visit to Rydland; but he was made still further uneasy by receiving a visit in the afternoon from Mr. Ringwood, who explained that ht came as Lord Iikington's accredited agent to see Mr. Krabbe, and make a few inquiries concerning him. "I am bound to mention, Mr. Pegram." said Ringwood, In the course of conversation, "that Lord Lakington would never have dreamt of sending me down here on such an errand if you had not yourself proposed it. I will, with your permission, just call upon Mr. Krabbe to-morrow morning, and that will, I think. b quite sufficient." 'Tray do not think you want permission from me," rejoined the old lawyer. "Anybody is welcome to call upon the old man whenever they pla9e." So it was all settled as Ringwood proposed, although Mr. Pegram was secretly dissatisfied that the Viscount should have taken him at his word. He had calculated on a chivalrous reply from Loid Lakington. to the effect that he could not insult him by thinking of such a thing as sending down an agent to make the inquiry he courted. However, he was not a whit dismayed at any result that wa likely to attend Ringwood's investigation. Ringwood's inquiries had, as he expected, led to nothing. That old Mr. Krabbe lived as a pensioner of the Pegrams in a little cottage just off the Llanbarlym Road was evidently firmly believed by the good people of Rydland. That anybody should be personating the ex-clerk had never been hinted at in the town. He had no difficulty in finding the cottage, and it was not till he was about to rap at the door that a quick step upon the gravel walk behind him made him pause, and he saw Sam Ilemmtngby by his side. "I got into Rydland late last night, and I do not think a soul I knew saw me slink in here. I came across country most of the way, for fear of meeting any one, and have been skulking behind the hedge for the last houh. I saw Bob Tegram go in by the back way about half an hour ago; he is come. I suppos?, to warn this old counterfeit to get ready for you, and to keep an eye upon him while he plays his part." At this moment the door was opened by Mrs. Clark, who was, at first, most palpably disconcerted by the appearance of Hemmingby on the scene. Recovering her composure after a few seconds, she ushered them into the little parlor, and addressing herself to Ringwood somewhat pointedly, explained in ä low voice that Mr. Krabbe would have finished dressing in a few minutes, and &es them if they would sit down and wait. "Where have I 6een that woman before?" muttered the manager, as Mrs. Clark left the room. "I am more convinced than ever that I have seen her before, and that she knows me. It is Just the way she went on the last time I was here would not look at me, nor speak tc me more than she was positively compelled. You'll see." "You think she is afraid of yout recognizing her?" . "Just so; and it waa the hope that I should do so prompted tat chiefly to volunteer accompanying you In this visit." ;At this juncture the same decrepit wreck of humanity that Jack Phillimore had seen tottered into the room, supported by the nurse on one side and tis stick on the other. Pausing as soon as he had advanced three or four steps, he pointed with his stick at his visitors, and turning to Mrs. Clark, exclaimed, in a piping treble : "Tell them to go away." Forced to reply in some fashion, tht nurse raised her voice and shouted intq the octogenarian's ear : "These gentlemen have come all tht way from London to ask after you ; won't you say 'How do you do to them?" But the old gentleman only replied bj incoherent mutterings, in which objurgations, such as, "a pack of prying fools. seemed mingled with querulous complaints as to the scarcity of sunlight in thes days as compared with those of his youth. Hemmingby eyed the old man narrowly while the nurse busied herself in adjusting his cushions, wraps, etc., and crossing the room rapidly, held out his hand and exclaimed : "How do you do, Mr. Krabbe?" The old gentleman looked at him for a few seconds, then muttering sulkily that Hemmingby had got between him and the fire, nestled sullenly down amongst his cushions. "It is wonderfully like the real trticle, said Hemmingby in a low voice, as he resumed his seat by Ringwood. "In spite of my doubts, I would not venture as yet to swear that he is not the real man." Ringwood's hopes rather fell at this announcement. He had fully expected to hear the manager pronounce Mr. Krabbe an impostor as soon as he had had a look at him; while Ilemmingby's strong impression, that he should, after a little, recognize the nurse, he bad taken slight heed of. "I am afraid, gentlemen, you will get little out of him to-day. He is very deaf, as you may see, at the best of times; and when he is out of temper, as is the cam just now, he simply won't hear." (To be continued.) A Helpful Allusion. There were times when the Rev. Mr. Tomfret felt that he failed to reach the hearts of his parishioners. Sometimes he even failed to reach their ears. Therefore he was much cheered by something he saw In the Elton pew one Sunday morning. "I I couldn't help wondering, Mr. Elton." he said, diffidently, when he met his parishioner the next afternoon, "what It -was in my sermon that er particularly caught your attention yesterday morning. I happened to be looking your way, and I saw your face light up, and you slapped your hand asm Inst your knee as if something pleased you." "It did," said Mr. Elton, cordially. "I felt very grateful to you. When you spoke of Simeon, It came over me In a Hash that was at Simeon Davis's I left my umbrella the last time I went to town. It's !een lost for six weeks." The Wronn Spot. Patrick had recently set up In the cab driving business, having bought out Mr. Cooley and his two station hacks. Before Christmas he had endeavored to make plain to his family what gifts he desired. "It's small use telling them children things, for they don't pay rue no heed," he said gloomily. "What did they give you, Pat?" asked an Interested friend. "I kept It jrolng to 'em how I was near perished wid the cold," said Patrick, "an what do they do?

DISASTERS ON MONT BLANC.

Tbe Wort of Many Occurred In 1570 nml t'ot I'leven Uvea. In the? Ion; list of disasters which darken tbe history of Mont Diane tha worst, according to Edward Whymper, the famous mountain climber, occurred to a rarty fn 1STÖ. The amateur alpinists were two Americans. Mr. Randall and Mr. McBean, and a Scotch minister, the Rev. G. McCorkindale, of Gourock. They took with them as guides or assistants no fewer than eight peisons from Chamonix. a quite sufficient number. A3 Is usual, they passed the night In the inn upen the rocks which are called the Grands Mulets. On the next day, writes Prof. Whymper In the Strand, a number of persons below watched their progress through telescopes. They were seen to arrive on the summit and to begin the descent. By that time the weather had changed. The wind was something frightful. Even 12.000 feet below it was seen whirling the snow about so that the members of the party were obliged to throw themselves down to avoid being carried away by it. Then the summit became clouded and was not jeen again for eight days. No one came back and on September 7 fourteen men from Chamonix started out to try to learn something. Bad weather came on again and It was not until the 17th that the fate of the party was ascertained. When the rescue party got up they found Mr. McCorkindale and two of the porters about 750 below the top, with their heads right way up, but with their clothes somewhat torn, as if they had slipped and fallen. About three hundred feet higher up they camo upon Mr. McBean and another porter silting down, the former with his head leaning on one hand and the elbow on a knapsack, ropes colled up, batons, axes and knapsacks round about thera still containing a little fcod. Upon Mr. McBean a note book vis found containing several entries In respect to the occasion. All the five corpses were hard frozen. They were put into sacks and dragged down to Chamonix. It took three days to transport them. The bodies of the six others have not yet been recovered, but they will probably come to light in the course of a few years. One of the earliest avalanche accidents on Mont Blanc occurred in 1820. when Dr. Hamel, a Russian, set out on Aug. IS to go up Mont Blanc accompanied by two Englishmen and eight guides. They had ascended to a height of more than 14,000 feet, with five guides In front, who were cutting or making steps, when all at once the snow above them gave way and the entire party was carried down a thousand feet over the slopes up which they had tolled. Snow again broke away above and more or less covered up the whole party. Some of them struggled out, but three of the leading guides were hurled Into a crevasse and buried under an immense mas3 of snow. Ten years afterward, when conduct Ing another tourist up Mont Blanc by the same route, one of the surviving gulde3 pointed to the crevasse and said to his employer, "They are there." He was wrong. At that time (1830) the bodies were no doubt a considerable distance from the spot where the accident occurred, for the dismembered remains of the three unfortunates commenced to reappear at the lower end of the Glacier des Bossons In 1861, more than four miles away in a direct line from the place where they perished, and must have traveled down on an average at the rate of 500 feet per annum.

"Now, Richard." said the teacher, 'can you tell me who Atla3 was?" Yes. ma'am," answered Richard. "He ivas a notorious footpad." "A what?" luerled the teacher. "A footpad," repeated Richard.

The Wldt w a Good Wife. Recent statistics Indicate that the popularity of the widow is waning; but should this be the case she can most certainly afford to be generous, for her reputed charm has almost become proverbial. There are many instances of the second marriage of widows, and it is noticeable that the husband in such cases frequently happens to be tlie younger of the two. Thi3 is not extraordinary, for women invariably remain young longer than men, and a woman who has encountered the exceedingly enlightening experience of married life knows exactlyhow to deal with a man. She is intuitive and can Instantly diagnose his mood. If he appears worried and distrait, she is tactfully quiet and sympathetic. She does not force his confidence, because she realizes quiet well that he will probably tell her everything later on. When necessary a widow is more entertaining than a young girl. Her knowledge of life ha3 made her interesting; her experience has sharpened her incellect, and she knows exactly what to say upon each occasion. As a hostess she is usually perfect. Her previous knowledge of married life has necessitated the acquirement of culinary art. and she realizes that a dainty, well-served dinner appeals to a man's soul quite as much as mere beauty of figure. But she is careful

not to neglect hew own appearance, for she understand3 that men appreciate elegance as a whole, although they seldom grasp the meaning of detail Then with regard to the care of the family exchequer, a widow's experience is Invaluable. At the expense of much suffering, she has learned the value of money. She knovvs how and where to buy, and gets good value for her expenditure; and this In itself is a great consideration for a young man. But perhaps unselfishness is the keynote of the widow's success. She has learned that she Is not the all-Important factor of the marriage contract. She recognizes that domestic art is her sphere In life, and she appreciates the dignity of her position. In fact, she Is a "womanly" woman, and, as a rule, decidedly deserves her popularity. How annoying it is when baby carelessly let3 bits of bread and milk fall upon the tablecloth. Hovr Irritating it Is to see all one's careful Ironing reduced to nothing so soon. It 13 trying, no doubt. But why not arrange baby's place to prevent accidents? That is easily done and without the assistance of a homely tin waiter, too. The least objectionable protector of tablecloth Is made of two oblongs of butcher's linen with an oilcloth Interlining. They may be sewed up just like a pillow case, if you prefer, or you might line the improvised tray bettei if each piece of linen was hemmed. Then two may be sewn tosether just inside the hem. and one end left open for the insertion of the oilcloth. You will certainly like the arrangement, and baby will rejoice if you allow him to, Instead of scolding him too often for faults that tiny hands cannot prevent. Cure for Ilendacbe. One of the very best remedies for a sick or nervous . headache is the following: Take raw potatoes without either washing or paring and cut them into th'.ok slices. Lay close together on the forehead and temples and keep In place by covering with a large handkerchief, folded cornerwise, and tied In the back. In a short time pain disappears. As pieces of potato get hot add a fresh cool piece. This gives all the coolness of Ice, without the Incidental dampness, and there is not the burning sensation Ice often causes. Wooing Klumbrr, The weary woman who wishes to woo sleep successfully should try a scented slumber cushion. Cased In a dainty cover of washing silk, the contents vary from vegetable down scented with lavender to the aromatic hop. Other fillings may be substituted at will by those who have access to freshly grown sweet herbs. Lemon thyme, sweet grass, verbena, sweetcented oak-leaf geranium and clover

will all convey a delightful fragrance and can be constantly renewed. They should be slightly pounded before they are placed in the cushion. Nwly mown hay gives forth a welcome scent and forms a particularly good stuffing for a slumber cushion. The effect of the foregoing, intensified, if necessary, by a few drops of distilled essence of the same, will be much appreciated by the business woman as well as by the society belle.

The ugly little fls'i tall train has gone out. In its place is a short square train copied from mediaeval days. With sleeveless evening frocks scarfs of tulle or chiffon are often worn, tied about the arm halfway between the shoulder and elbow. The individual linen pockets or bags worn with the summer gown are frequently fastened with cords drawn through embroidered eyelets. Black and white Syrian scarfs or Egyptian veils riveted with silver or gold are the most popular draperies worn afternoons and evenings. Uran aud Oatmeal. Constantly the advice Is given to use bran and oatmeal for softening and whitening the skin, yet comparatively few women know how to use It to the best advantage. The dry meal cau be used on the moistened hands as Is soap, but better effects are gained by making it into a wash or lotion. Thl". Is easily done by boiling a large handful of the meal In enough water to form a thin gruel. The liquid Is then strained and used slightly more diluted when the hands are washed. As these washes quickly sour it Is well not to make too large a quantity at once. To save trouble keep a small alcohol lamp In the bathroom and boll the gruel in a tin vessel just large enough to hold the desired amount. It can be strained through squares of old muslin, which are later thrown away. Simple, Hut effective. An excellent model for a good-looking, dressy chapeau.

Mrs. George Cran, an English farm er, went to Canada to look into the work of women farmers in that coun try and thinks the prospects verj bright for women in that work. She tell3 of one woman who in six years turned a wilderness into a remunera tlve farm, sixteen acres being in corn six in alfalfa, with oats and barlej and other things In the rest of hei 600-acre farm. The woman has fift hives of bees, seventy-five cows and sends all sorts of vegetables to mar ket. She can have a husband, too if she wants one, as she has had man; "offers." Why Men Wear Trousers. No living man of this age, says the1 Providence Journal, ever deliberately chose to "adopt trousers." He was forced into them, and all other eccen tricities of dress by woman. In the very earliest sartorial experience of every man he Is swathed In a queer ? bundle of Incoherent bandages by a woman. Later she puts him into cute little dresses so that the neighbors can't tell him from his little sister. Still later she cuts ofT his curls and puts him into knickerbockers, and he puts on "long pants" when she gives the word and not before. That Is all that man ha3 to do or ever had to do with wearing trousers. Woman forced him into them In the first place, and now he Is afraid to wear anything else for fear of making a sensation. One of the prettiest summer girls 1 know, who seemed to have a hat to match each dainty frock, let me into her secret the other day. Pulling out a big bandbox from under her bed she showed me her summer hats, just two in number. One was a handsome embroidered lingerie affair, and for this she had a bunch of several bows of various ribbons. These she took off and pinned On as-needed. The other hat was but perhaps you know the girl. She will not mind telling you another of her secrets. She found, when making a new hat, that it was difficult to determine whether a shape would be becoming. Therefore before purchasing the material she hopes to use, she covers a hat frame with colored muslin or crepe paper. Thi3 method practically solves all the main points to be considered. She learns the amount of silk or cloth necessary for the operation, for she carefully measures the paper or muslin' with which she has experimented. She tests the trimmings in the same way, by adjusting ribbons and flowers in varying ways until she has attained the best combination. American Home Monthly. Freckles.

Man Who Knew Alleged Murderer of Miss Sigel Identifies Corpse. That the body of the Chinaman found in the Hudson River is that of Leon Ling, alleged murderer of Uiss Elsie Sigel, Is affirmed by a reporter who viewed the body in the Fordham morgue in New York. "This is undoubtedly the body of Leon Ling," said he. "I knew him well at Fort George all last summer. He wa3 running a pin game there. I recognize him particularly by his hair, and generally by his appearance. If I could see his teeth, which were very fine and regular, I could make this identification doubly positive. I have no doubt that this is Ling." In the effort to establish the Identity fully, several other persons who knew Leon well were taken to the morgue to view the body. The height, weight, complexion and certain peculiarities of physical appearance of the dead man corresponded with those attributed to Leon. The absence of clothing on the drowned man, except for a silk undershirt, was one of the baffling features of the case. Detective Van Wagener of Capt Carey's staff took a boy who knew Ling to the morgue, but the lad said the body was not that of Ling. Because of the action of the water on the body the detectives believe the boy might be mistaken. SOCIALIST WAHREN SENTENCED. Given Six Month In Jail and Fined $1,500 Will Appeal. Fred Warren, business manager of the Appeal to Reason, a Socialist paper published at Glrard, Ivan., was sentenced to six months in jail and a fine of $1,500 by Judge Pollock In the Federal Court in Fort Scott, Kan. Several weeks ago Warren was arrested for alleged violation of the postal regulations in sending through the mails a printed offer of a reward of $1,000 to anyone who would kidnap former Governor William S.
