CHAPTER XXIV.

MRS. ORANBY DUMONT's ADVENTURE. A series of masquerade balls were inaugurated by some ot the Ipaders of New York society, for charitable purposes, and the tickets were placed at a high figure, to bar out the lower classes. Of course the common people could not attend, but evil persons could obtain tickets easily, and there are always some depraved creatures at public masquerades. Mysteries ot death and darkness have been bidden beneath the mask worn at such crowded assemblies, and the gay dancers have little dreamed of the secrets of their partners—have never guessed tbe blood stains on the bands that met theirs in the mad galiopade or whirling waltz.

It was arranged that General Qamont and wife should go to the first Charity Ball accompanied by a nephew of the General, Mr. Oliver Trevor.

It was eleven o'olock when Mrs. Duinont entered the doors of the Academy of Musio, leaning upon the arm of Mr. Trevor. The General walked close behind, eager to watch over and protect the woman ne loved.

Iu the midst of this scene of folly Maud Dumont wore along domino of rick blaok silk and a velvet mask of the same hue. She had selected this costume •t the General's reques', who did not wish her to be conspicuous among the assembly.

As she descended from her carriage at the door of the Academy, a fashionably attired gentleman accidentally,—so it seemed to her—jostled against her, and her domino, not being very securely fastened, was disarranged, the hood tailing "back. 'Excuse me, madam.' said the stranger, politely, as be hastily stepped to one side.

Owing to the hurry, in replacing the hood Mr. Trevor did not notice the bit ®f scarlet ribbon which the stranger had affixed to it. There was a crowd about tho doors, and his quick movemont had not boon noted yot tbo ribbon was distinctly visible to any one who looked particularly at the hood of Mrs. Duuiout'a domino.

The party entered the crowded lobbies leading to the immense platform which covered the lower part of the house. Three miuptes after entering the Academy, the General was separated from his wife and nephew.

The crowd flowed hither and thither —powerful as some torrent, it drove all before It, The General scarcely knew bow or whero the separation took place, but he suddenly found himself far away from his oom pan Ions, and utterly ignorant as to whloh direction they had taken.

Mr. Trevor and Mrs. Dunioht had been driven back by the throng, and had retreated to the western entrance. Here the crowd was still greater. The noisy maskers crowded around ihem. shouting and laughing. Mrs. Dumont was confuted and almost stunned by the

•Let us go back and And the General,' she said to her compaulon 'he is waiting for u?, no doubt, in one of the lobbies. We shall never be able to discover him upon the stage.'

Mr. Trevor obeyed, and conducted bis lovely charge to the other side of tke building. Again they found themselves buried in the ever changing, ever restlees crowd.

As Mrs. Dumont gased about her. bewildered by the confusion, she suddenly felt her left hand pressed in the strong hand or a man. 1 will take yon to the General, madam,' a voice whispered in her ear. 'Leave your companions arm and come with mo

Mrs. Dumont clasped her hands convulsively at the sound of that familiar name. 'Clarence Saydam!' she murmured, •faby do you mention that man's name to me?' 'I have told yon, madam, that I have a solemn purpose to fulfill in bringing you here.' 'But I will remain here no longer!' returned Mrs. Domont, indignantly. '1 am no child, to be fooled or frightened thus!'

As she spoke, she turned from the stranger, and walked rapidly toward the staircase. Before she had gone a dozen paces the hand of her masked guide was laid upon her slender wrist with a grasp of iron. •Maud Dumont,' said the voice, 'you must—you shall remain! You are in the power of those who can feel no pity you. are in the power of the avengers ot toe dead!' 'The dead!' cried the now terrified woman. •Ay, Clarence Suydam's friends surround you. The avengers of Clarence Suydam's murder encircle you on every

An the stranger spoke, be unlocked a door leading into the ante-room communicating with one ot the private boxes. He drew the trembling woman into this ante-room and locked the door behind him. •Maud Dumont,' he said, solemnly, •the hour of retribution has come, and the day of discovery is near at hand!'

CHAPTER XXV. A VISION OF THE DEAD.

Mrs, Granby Dumont found herself alone with the masked stranger in the ante-room of the opera box. The door communicating with the box was closed the door leading into the corridor was locked.

The young bride could hear the music of the orchestra she could hesr the footfall of the dancers, the laughter, the reckless merriment in the vast srea below, yet she was alone with thiB man— as much alone as if she were in some wild retreat, amid the solitude of a desert. Had she screamed aloud in ber terror, her wild outcry would have been lost among the voices of the crowd below.

But, althouch terrified for a brief ieriod, Maud Dumont waa not subdued, ibe felt that she was in the. power of those bidden and mysterloda enemies who bad endeavored to separate her from the General. She felt that only her own imperious will und daring nature could save her. •I have not feared my own dark memories, my own secret agonies,' she said, to herself. 'Why should I fear these people?'

Sbo looked earnestly at the masked stranger. He was of medium stature, but his figure was enveloped in along domino of black silk, which left only the thin outline of his form visible. Tho hood of thin demino covered his head and joined the velvet mask which concealed bis face. The thick lace fringe banging from this mask covered his chin.

All that (the searching scrutiny of Maud Dumont oould reveal to her was the oolor of the eyes that looked through

the stranger's personal appearance. Had she seen the ring upon his right hand, she would, even then, have failed to guess what the initial 'D,' cut iu the stone signified.

Mrs. Dumont drew himself to her fullest height as the stranger approached her, after looking the door communicating with the corridor. •Why have you fastened the door?'she

•Because I wish to speak to you without fear of interruption.' 'And you refuse to lead me to my busband?' •Yes, I do refuse, until you have heard what I have to say.'

The General's wife burst into a ringins: laugh. Be it so,' Bhe said, gaily. 'It is carnival time, and folly reigns supreme. Why should 1 refuse to join in a carnival jeatt' •This is no jest, madam,' answered the stranger. 'I told you, some moments since, that I had a solemn purpose in bringing you here.' •Yes,' returned Maud, laughing with the silvery music of girlish mirth 'and this solemn purpose is to frighten a poor, helpless woman ont of her senses. But I am not so easily terrified as you may, perhaps, imagine, and I can only say that, if your purpose is a solemn one. this plane is i'l chosen for its fulfilment.' 'Think you so, madam?' said the stran-

r. 'You little know the bidden secrets, undiscovered mysteries, which lurk beneath a scene of reckless gaiety. The Vild mirth of the maskers may drown the shrieks of the dying the merry music of the orchestra may drown the sobs of the despairing. Do not think that you are the less in danger because you bear musio and laughter around you.' 'I fear no danger!' exclaimed Mrs. Dumont, with proud defiance. 'Whoever and whatever you may be, you shall suffer for this insolence! General Dumont will avenge the insults offered to his wife!' •While he believes her worthy to be his wife, doubtless, madam,' said the man. 'But how will he act when he learns of her unworthineas?'

Mrs. Dumont did not answer this question. 'You have something to say to me?' she said, coldly. •I have.'

it acquaintanos? What if yonr letten, written months ago, bear record of a solemn promise to become that mans letters!' cried Maud Dumont, clasping her hands before her faoe.

In that one moment she bad lost all presence of mind—in that one moment she bad betraved herself as what she was—a terrified and agonized woman, ODpressed and tortured by the remorse of crime. But, with a powerful effort, she again controlled herself. •There are no such letters in existence!' she said, decisively. •What?' exclaimed the stranger. 'Did you destroy them with your hands?'

The woman- was silent. •You do not reply, but your silence is, in itself, a sufficient answer. Think you that any other hand than your own would destroy the fatal evidence of yonr guilt? Think you that those letters, in the keeping of another, would not be held more precious than their weight in diamonds of the finest water?' •Are those letters now in your possession?' •Whatif I answer, "yes"?' •If they are in your keeping, tell me the price you demand. I will buy them from you on your terms.' •You are very generous, madam,' answered the masked man, with a sneer •but the letters are not in my possession. They are in the hands of another person.' •Let me see that person, then!'cried Mrs. Dumont. 'Let me hear whatterms his avarice would demand of me!' •He asks nothing. He would see you and restore thoee letters with his own band!' •Load me to him, then!„ Why waste all this time in idle talk? Let me see him!' •You do not fear to see him?' •Fear! No. Why should I fear?' •Because this person is not altogether unknown to you. You have seen him beforo •What of that? Let him restore to me those letters, and I will look upon him as my greatest friend. Pray take me to him without further delay. 'There is no occasion for me to take you to him,' said the stranger, calmly •be will be here before long.' •Herd' •Yes. It is now midnight. At a quarter past twelve he will be here.' •Then I will wsit.'

The stranger opened the door communicating with the box. The curtains of this box were drawn but the brilliant lights of the theatre penetrated through the folds.

From behind these curtains you may behold the scene below without foar of being observed,' said the stranger.

Mrs. Dumont passed into the box, and pushing back the folds of the curtains, looked down upon the vast crowd of maskers on the platform below. She gased with eyes which eaw not what they gazed upon. She was absorbed in doubt and apprehension. Who were these bidden enemies who had discovered a secret which she had believed to be beyond the power of man to fathom?

The stranger remained in the anteroom. The bride of a few weeks let fall the curtain which she had held back for a few moments while she looked below. She sank into a chair and waited for the coming of the person who was said to be the possessor of her letters. The door between the box and the ante-room was ajar. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Dumont beard the sound of a low knock upon the panel of the outer door, the door which opened on the corridor. Two .minutes afterward the masked stranger looked into the box. 'Tbe person whom you wish to see is here, madam,' he sald.t^I will bid you good-night.'

She heard the outer door close behind him before she entered tbe ante-rocm. A strange, shuddering terror, which she was powerless to control, seemed to root ber to the spot upon which she stood. Without knowing why, she dreaded crossing tbe narrow threshold, which divided the box from the chamber adjoining it.

Maud Dumont entered the ante room and found herself alone with the stranger. He wore a simple evening costume —a black dress coat, vest and pantaloons. and cravat of white silk. But, like the man who had led ber to tbe box, be wore a mask. •You have some letters, written by me some time a«o, in. your possession?' said Mrs. Dumont.

Tbe man bowed, but did not speak. Tbe graceful bead of the woman was half turned away. It seemed as if ber contempt for him was too great to be concealed. ,, 'What is the price you demand for tbe restoration of those letters?' she asked,

did not answer, but, lift

ing his hand, he slowly removed his mask. As he did so, Maud Dumont, turning her head partially, looked across her shoulder at his face.

She ottered a loud and walling cry, which vibrated through tLe small apartment and mingled discordantly with tbe distant music ef the orchestra.

The face upon which she gazed with the stony glance of horror and despair was tbe face of tbe dead! It was the faoe of Clarence Suydam, line for line— the face with whose every feature she iamiliar.

For one moment a wild thrill of hope tan tbroogh ber veins. What if Clar

Suydam were still alive? What if she had been deceived by William Gorton and tbe Spaniard, Levinto? What if no murder had been committed in that miserable hovel in Brooklyn? What if abe not seen bis body in the coffin? But, in another moment, that hope gave way to horror, and horror to despair. The Usee upon which she looked was not the feoeof a living man. Tbe features had the rigidity of marble, tbe eyea had a hollow and glassy lustre. It was indeed the face of the dead!

For a few brief momenta Maud Da* mont gased wildly and fearfully upon this strange apparition, then, with a terrible effort she tottered forward, meaning to dety tbe gba*£ly being* but, at the first step, abe reeled and fell senseless to tlii floor.

An boor afterward, tbe General and a couple of the officials of tlte Academy entered this ante-room, after searching almost every part of the vast building in their endeavors to find tbe missing woman.''

THE END OF A BRIGHT DREAM. Mr. James Dalton had suddenly gained a clue which was as unexpected as it was extraordinary. He thought himself dreaming at first, and it was some time before he did realiaa it, his discretion had to be brought into full play, for he oould scarcely retain the secret.

It lacked three days of Christmas when be called again at tbe house of his promised bride. The evening was clear but frosty* and a light wind had sprung up. The artist concluded that he should be more comfortable in door than in taking his uAual prowl about the city. At dusk he ascended the steps of Clarice's pleasant little dwelling and rang the bell. Clarice was just spreading tbe cloth for supper as he entered tbe room. The fire burned brightly and seemed vieing with the light of the lamp.

Everything looked neat and oomfortable, but the chief attraction to James Dal ton was absent. 'Where is Celeste?' he asked, seating himself in the large arm chair. •She has gone out,' replied Clarice, nervously, busily setting the table. 'Gone out!' exclaimed the young man, springing from his feet. •Yes. She said she was longing for a breath of fresh air, and wished to take a short walk. As she has not been out since she came here, I could not object, and she pleaded very bard.'

James Dalton's face did not betray the tempest of doubt and fear which raged within. •How long has she been gone?' he asked, quietly.

Clarice appeared not to have beard this question, for she did not answer. •How long has she been gone repeated James Dalton. 'Almost an bour,' said Clarice, reluctantly.

A slight pallor was visible on James Dalton's faoe, and his lips twitohed, as be nicked up bis bat. •Then she will not return,' he said— •she has been tracked!'

Not long after receiving this intelligence, tbe artist was again in tbe little wooden church opposite tbe house which set back from the street, in tbe suburbs of Brooklyn city.

He took bis station at the partly opened window, buttoning up his coat to keep out the wind. It was a curious episode in the history of that holy edifice.

Tbe next morning worship was to be held in the church, for it was Saturday night, and here was a man hunter watching in its precincts in anticipation *Fhe?e was a bright moon shining, and every object about and near the building could be plainly seen. Occasionally, wind clouds driited across tbe horizon, but soon were gone, when all was bright again under tbe effulgent moonlight,

Tbe streets were deserted. A single light burned in the upper part of tbe house which was being, watched, just the same as on that former occasion when James Dalton bad spent the night in the cburcb.

More than an bour passed witbout anything to interrupt tbe monotony of the place when tbe watcber observed a movement at the western corner of the house. It was a cautious movement— some object, human or aulmal, he oould not tell which, was evidently trying to get around to the front door. Presently tbe object came out from tbe shadow of the eaves and passed along until it gained the door.

It was the figure of a woman! 5 James Dalton's heart gave a wild leap. Who could it be? The door of the house wavin nartlal shadow, and be could not see whether she entered it or remained outside. Racked with doubt and fear, his selfcontrol almost forsook bim but he curbed his wild desire to rush out and confront tbe woman, and waited.

Some hours bad passed when tbe door of the house was opened and two men issued forth. They came slowly down the garden pitn, pushed open the gate, and went down the street.

James Dalton quickly left tbe church, locked it, and followed the two men. They were crossing the fields back ol tbe house, and bad quickened t'.eir pace. The young man kept some distance behiad them, staggering carelessly along. He bad on a rusty black coat, the sleeves of which were dilapidated, and bad drawn a slouch hat o?er bis forehead. To all appearance be was only a half drunken laborer.

Once the men stopped and looked back then, as James Dalton staggered and almoet fell, they went on.

Quickening pis pace, Jamea Dalton was eoon up with them. Tbe keen eyed man whom he bad seen on Broadway, sometime before, he singled out at a lanoe, and shoved violently against dm.

The man spraug back with an oath, but not before a pistol barrel was ptessed against bis temple. •I want you, my man!' said James Dalton, cooly, and he blew a shrill blast from a whistle attached to the button hole of his coat.

The man's companion turned and fled in the direction he had cotiie. The keen eyed man seemed so com pletely surprised as to be incapable of making any resistance. 'George Kicker,' said Mr. Dalton, as a policeman came up in answer to his summons, 'you must turn back, and go quietly with us to tbe house which you just left.'

Upon reaching the bouse, James Dalton sounded bis whistle twice and rang tbe door bell violently. After a few moments' delay, the door was cautiously opened, and tbe bold faoed woman Milled Jess looked out. Without ceremony, tbe young man gave the door a kick which sent it back against tbe wall, and the party made their way In, reinforced by two offl'jers, who had answered Jamea Dalton's signaL

As tbey entered the drawing room, tbe woman Jess, who rushed in ahead of them, gave a bundle of wood, strangely enough, lying in tbe open fire place, a if deairing to pot it back ont of kiek, "^axnee Dalton spring forward and ricked up the wood, which proved to be box painted in imiUtion. The box bad in it a quantity of bank notes. He then walked over to George Rlcker. who stood looking at him with a dogged expression, but who seemed afraid to move from the side of the policeman In whose custody he was. Jamea Dalton inspected tbe thief's coat from tbe collar down to the bottom, aad from the bottom opto tbe collar again, on both sidos. Then catehing bold of tbe Ml lappel, bediew frombis vest pocket asmaif otaee of cloth, which be bad nicked up ClSe Ovington library, and fited it in ^•Vou'hav^had a tussle with eome body* and,have iT^ajxwtion of your who bad

down accompanied by Miss Celeste Van Duyna. With a load wail, tbe beautiful woman

ran into James Dalton's outstretched1 arms. You will not believe me wicked ?'1 she sobbed, caressing him psssionstely. •Why did you come here, Celeste? asked the young man, holding her close. •Did you come or were you forced 'I came to get evidence for you ray darling—for you! fake me away from this dreadful place! That wicked man, who ought to love me, has tried to make me a prisoner! I would have done all in my power to shield bim, but he is so bad—worse than I thought—oh, so much wcrse!' •I found the young woman tied to a chair in the back room,' explained the policeman who had brought her in.

George Kicker stood looking upon this scene as if mute from astonishment, 'Yon shAld have leit the matter entirely to me, Celeste,' said James Dalton, in a low tone. 'It was wrong 'in you to attempt assisting me thus.' •What is the meaning of all this?' exclaimed George Kicker. 'What am I arrested for 'For robbery and assault,' said Mr, Dalton. •Is that any reason why you should make love to my wife before my very eyes? I think you are laying yourself liable to the law!' •Your wife!' 'Ob, how can you speak so falsely?' cried Miss Van Duyne, clinging closer to her lover. •What, do you deny that you are my wife?'

Miss Van Duyne began to weep unrestrainedly. 'Have you tbe heart to assail the character of your own sister?' exclaimed James Dalton. 'Are you sunk so low that you would drag her down with you

George Ricker gave utterance to a loud laugh. •Believe it or not, as you like,' be said, cooly. 'Mrs. Ricker came stealing in here to-night to get a paper which in her flight from home, she must have forgotten. I heard a noise iu my room ana, going to discover the cause, caught Celeste just in time to hinder her destroying tho paper. Ab, Celeste, my girl, I thought better of you—I thought you would use me right! I have always been kind to you!'

Do you claim that this stricken woman is your lawfully wedded wife?' cried James Dalton.

George Ricker banded him a paper. 'No, no!' shrieked MISJ Van Duyne, as she endeavored to snatch it from her lover's hand. 'You must not read it!'

But, despite her protest, James Dalton read the paper. It was a marrtnge certificate, which proved the burglar's assertion to be true. 'I love you, Mr. Dalton!' moaned the beautiful woman, sinking to ber knees and clutching his hand, upon which, she showered hot, convulsive kisses—'I lovo you—you saved my life!' 'Vile, infamous woman!' exclaimed the deceived man, 'how dare you love another than tbe man to whom you are wedded! And you claimed to be so pure and inndcent!'

He drew away from her, and, deprived of her hold upon bis hand, the miserable woman fell prone on the carpet, face downward.

Female beauty had forever lost Its charm for James Dalton. [TO BE CONTINUED.]

Ad vice To Consumptives. No man however uncleanly, would drink muddy, dirty water. A party which occupies a room for hours, breathing the same air, might be compared to a party of bathers drinking the water in which tbey bathe. The patient must keep the window of his bed-room open. Night air is fresh air without daylight. In close, crowded rooms, the patient suffering from lung complaints breathes consumptively. By taking these precautions and using Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Peasant Purgative Pellets, fully one-half ol the cases of lung complaints would be cured in six months. For cough and irritation of the lungs do not always indicate the presenco of consumption although it uiay result in that dls9ase, and if consumption has already become deeply seated in the sjstem, this is the most efficient course of treatment that can be pursued outride of any institution that provides special facilities for tbe treatment of this disease.
