[OONIXMUBD FROM SIXTH FAGK and the excitement altogether were too muoh for me, In my weak Btate. I darepay you wondered at not hearing?" "I did, very mnoh, at first," was my guarded answer, for I was ashamed to say how I had forgotten all about her in the joy of my new-found h&ppiness. "Good God {"exclaimed Jack, suddenly, from the window. $ "What is it?" Miss Stanhope and I cried, both together.
There wae no audible reply, only a hurried rush past us, and out into the street, so we ran to the window to look for ourselves. I must explain that the ||street where we lived was a long one, and our house being at the very end, •anyone standing at the bow window of our sitting-room had an uninterrupted view of the whole length of the street, and of whatever came along it. Jack was looking towards the main road when he uttered his startled ory. As we glanced in the same direction we saw a butcher's cart tearing along the street at racing speed, the reins hanging loose, and, lying forward over the splash board, was the figure of a little child tiBwaying from side to side with the 'movement of the vehicle, each movement threatening to throw it out altogether.' What followed was but the work of an instant, though it seemed hours.
With our hearts in onr mouths we ^watched how Jack ran to meet the inpfuriated horse, and then, snatching at ||the bridle, and banging on by main fforce, was dragged along for some yards,

he succeeded in bringing the
trembling animal to a standstill. Some limen running up just then, held the horse's head while Jack lifted the now unconscious child out of the cart. "I shall bring him in," he called out to me and as be came up the front steps with his little burden, we saw that his sleeve bad been torn away right up to the elbow. He seemed unaware of it, however, but tenderly bent over the
and laid him down on the sofa. "Run and get some brandy, Minnie I ., don't think he is hurt, only scared to death, and no wonder, poor little mite.
How could thejf leave such a baby alone
f*in
the cart?" We poured a few dfops of the cordial down the child's throat, and soon he Ji. opened his eyes and looked about him. 1$* "You are all right now, old chap, eh?" said Jack lifting him again in his arms. tin "Daddy—I want daddy, said the mite, beginning to cry. "Here is daddy, I expect," as a tall ,tnan ran hastily up the steps, and knocked at the door, "so don't cry. He is more frightened than hurt, I think,"
Jack added, turning to the man as he came in and caught the child to his breast with a sob of thankfulness. "But what a risk to leave him alone lik that. It might h»ve been most serious "It is all that dratted shop lad's fault," the man answered. "He pretends to be fond of the child, and begs and pruys to be allowed to take him out, so that one doesn't like to refuse him, f*and so he goes and leaves him like this.
But it is the last time, I can promise him. I'm sure I don't know what my poor wife would have done if anything had happened to the child. She's an invalid, sir, and confined to her room, or she would come herself to thank you." "I don't want any thanks," said Jack, kindly. "Don't let the shop lad take the baby out in future, that's all." "Now then," I said, when the grateful parent bad departed with his child, "let me see to your arm. I caught sight of a bruise, I am sure."
He held out his hand, palm upwards, and there, sure enough, was a long bruise, three or four inches long, on the fleshy part of the arm. "Ah, what a horrid place!" I cried. "I must get some uoki water and bathe it at once. Is there any hurt on the other side?"
And quick as thought I had turned his arm round. No bruise was there, but, juBt above the wrist, deep and red as though it had been freshly burnt into the flesh, was the brand of the sixpointed star!

I gazed dumbly'at lfc^lA'a kind of fascinated horror. There was no mistake, there it was—the star I had seen on the arm of the masked man in my dream 1 I felt as though my limbs were giving away, and I knew without look* ingup that Jack'seyesweresteadiiy fixed on me. Then I became aware of another thing. Miss Stanhope was looking at the star also! I heard a stifled exclamation behind me, and then she bent forward to examine the msrk more closely* "Six points," she muttered, and her 'oice sounded far away in the distance.
Surely there cannot be two saoh stars existence!" iajj,, The veins in her fchroifP "Vorked strangely as she spoke, and I watched her in a kind of stupid terror. As for Jaok, he neither moved nor spoke, but stood silently regarding us both.
Then Althea Stanhope lifted her haggard eyes from the star to his faoe. "The eyes are the same," she said, like one In a dream. "But the hair is dark— that might be dyed—the form
I woke up at last. $ "Jaok, speak," I cried, shaking him in affright. "Don't you se9 what she is thinking? .Sp^Hk up and give her the He."
Althea still looked at him steadily, moistening her dry lips as she waited for the answer which tarried so long. He looked at me only now, as though in wonder at my words. "Edmond Dalton," came a hoarse cry then from the woman at my side, "I accuse you of causing the murder of my dear si: tar, and of being a member of a dangerous conspiracy 1" [TO BR (X NTtNUEO.] ^,4^1

INLAND.
When the bine dawnd of summer morning* change To brooding warmth of sunrise, spreading bright, And long, sweet shtwlowa down the levels range,
And all the crags and uplands laugh in light. I long then for the muaio of tha soa Breaking against its shore with songs for xno. When the tired glory of the drowsy noon
Bhuts inward half the light that thrills my heart, And brings to dreamy eyes the sleep too soon
That folds me, from the outward world apart, that strange hour I hear the rhythmic sweep Of strong incoming tides, so oool, so deep. In rose gray twilight, when the mists of dew
Half veil the white star blossoms of the sky. And the clear wind oomee, slowly breathing through
My curtain fold, with tuneless melody, I listen till I catch the tone divine Of sea songs far away, but always mine. —Madeline 8, Bridges.
TEDDY'S REPLY.
"Two old 'Indies and a mail to matoh, all without very much hair or very many teeth. A lady with two pretty ohiidren and her mother, I think, besides two young girls and a Harvard youth," she said to herself, looking down from one end of tlio long table to the other and then directly opposite at the last named article. "I'm sure he's Harvard, for he looks interesting and wears gold eyeglasses, and then I saw 'Cambridge' on tho register. "Well," she added, turning to the sweet faced elderly lady beside her, "ten more people to add to this charming, delusive snare. Now, why I came up here do not know unless it ought to be to finish 'Mereno' and ran over the MSS. of the last unaccepted serial, but then it's not the only plaoe in the world, even in the poor laboringolass of short story writers." "Ah," remarked the evidently Harvard youth to himself, trying to fish a little macaroni heart from his oonsomme, "a literary damsel, the last person in the world I should have taken for one."
He captured the heart and then busied himself watching his opposite neighbor, who was talking laughingly to a palefaced. interesting girl on her left. "She's no end pretty if she does write," he soliloquized. "Her heroines are probably all hi^pous creatures, sinoe it's only the homely people who ever write about pretty heroines. Gad, it's well I have had some experience on the college papers if I'm going to meet her. She'll probably talk shop all the time and suggest pntting me in her next novel. They always do that. Well, at nil events, I can return the oompliment."
The conversation opposite attracted his attention. "We're going for a moonlight fish tonight—that is, to fish by moonlight. We won't be particular to catch moonlight fish, will we?" "No, but'really," she added, looking at him, "wouldn't you like to oome? We are going to walk, so there will be plenty of room." Vvs
Jack Tremont was not in the least surprised. Any one would have expected exactly that sort of thing from Dorothy Dering, and after she had amused him all dinner time in her good natured sort of way he remarked when he lit his cigarette and walked on to the veranda with her that she was "a no end jolly girl."
As they emerged from the doorway a slight peal of thunder rolled over the hills to greet them and a big raindrop fell at Dorothy's feet. "Well," she remarked, "that means answer letters. I always write when it rains, and so good night! I'm. sorry the moonlight fish didn't pan out, but tomorrow night perhaps? Here's hoping!"
She raised her dainty fingers to her lips with an imaginary wineglass, and then, laughing good naturedly, ran up stairs.
A moment later Jack followed her, and, entering his room, picked up his banjo and sang a song from a pudding play. Two years of glee club work had trained his voice almost to perfection. "I wonder," he thought, "who has the room next to mine?" And, seeing the door between, "I hope they are not easily disturbed." "Ah," remarked Dorothy to herself in the designated room, "how jolly that he has the room next to mine. He really has a very good voioe." And she oontinued writing.
"Now, why," remarked Jack to himself three weeks later, "does Dorothy talk to me forever about'her boy,'as she calls him. I half believe she is engaged to him. Well, I like engaged girls usually, but I don't like this. Every time I go to tell her oxaotly how it is she brings up Teddy or else one of those harmless, toothless three loons up In the vioinlty." Then he pulled a chair over to the table, sat down and wrote on the back of an old Lampoon. "You haven't talked a word of shop to me since I came to this, in itself, devilish stupid place. I set you down that first night as going to talk of nothing else. Sou are disappointing, and I wish you would either talk that or else tell me more about Teddy. I'm interested. Have to be, you know, to keep from hurting your feelings, for I havon't hoard a word but of him for three weeks. Now why do you do it? As a writer you ought to know that it isn't good form to talk forever on one subject any more than to use continually the same words. Gome, brighten up, enlarge your vocabulary and answer somehow so that those everlasting harmless, toothless individuals won't be obliged to use those only remaining faculties, their eyes, to saoh great advantage. They bother me and never fail to start you off on"— Here a dainty humming of "Mamie, Come," etc., from the next room assured him of her presence and made him hastily put down Teddy and push The Lampoon hurriedly under the adjoining door. He lighted a cigarette then and waited.
A few minutes later a dainty sheet of note paper pushed through the crack, and the top of an ink stained finger showed. He picked up the note and read: "You have hit on a fortunate mood. I am stuck in my story and therefore disgusted and tired and wish you would play, sing or do something to amuse me. You do amuse me, yon know, always because you are so conceited. Now, why shouldn't I talk of Teddy If I wish? He Is the dear* est friend I have, and, although he Is always joking with me and never will bo serious, he is ever so much deeper and more of a man than you. You would like Teddy, though, because— well, because no one oould help it. He would make four Mends where you would make one. Why don't you go to work? Fishing, although I must confess it Is work here, won't be at all practical when you really have to settle down. Come, now, take my advice, go to work, brace up and be more like Toddy."
He—You grow cruel and more cruel as the letterjgooa on. Did you ever see a man
who wasn't conceited unless perhaps It is Teddy? As for working, I am working every day harder and harder, working to study you and make you think better of me. If you don't call that work, I do, and, as to its being practical, if I follow you and take literature as a profession there is nothing better than studying characters. I know I ought not to begin on a person likeyou, for comparatively you are a volume of ShakeapBaro and should not bo read by kindergarten scholars such as "yours truly.' Well, I'm glad if I amuao you In any way at all. Let me sing to yon —anything rather than get epistles of abuse such as tho last. By tho way, there Is ray voioe. Why not go into the opera, with you as leading lady? I know your voioe might be improved enough, and then think of tho opportunity that I.would have to you at least. I would give Tedi^-frffor eyey performance, since noth world could make me happier Ve *n inslng him to be jealous unless ft wei^ty iiaps making you trust and be llovo li^e. Really, there is a proposal fit for the gods I I am not conceited when I say tha tl would at least, make a hit in jhhe role of 'M-o With you as heroine. It wof/ld be realuswo at any rate. Ye gods, how /effectuallyI eOuld woo in "Faust," for'in'stanoe, and what a lovely Marguorite you would make! Now, truly, don't you think It would be wise ,tiQ, go, .qr. the operatic stage? ft
She—Not at all. I could not bear to think of you in those fiendish operatic oostumes, and then you would not go on the stage. You fire aware of that fact. You hurt my feelings when you Imply that my volco is not good. I suppose you would say in answering, "Ah, you are too conoeited!" So I will spare you the trouble and mo the pain by writing it myself. You would never make Teddy jealous, for he is not of so shallow a nature, and then he trusts me, you know, which you do not. I think you are improving, and even such a heathenish suggestion as going on the stage is not unacceptable from you, because anything that has the least sign of working ambition will be hailed with delight. Yes, you interest as well as amuse me, for I thinkyou are deepor than you care to show.: That oompliment is presented free. I am sounding yon, however, and expcct soon to find bottom. It is growing late, fo» my little clock on- the mantelpiece strikes 12, and I still have a: letter to write to Teddy, so good night.
He—You shall not write to Teddy. He may be "deep," as you say, and all that, but he is a confoundcd nuisance when served for breakfast, lunoheon, dinner and all intermediate refreshments. Why will vou never tell me anything definite about him? I swear you are in love with him and will not acknowledge it. Tell me Immediately.
She—You are foolish. I am not in love with Teddy and will write to him if ohoose. Nevertheless I don't choose tonight, for you grow interesting and more Interesting. You are angry. Deny it if you dare.
He—I am angry, but happier than can tell, for I love you, and you know it. Teddy or no one else could help my telling you so. Not even the hairless, toothless three could call a halt. I am going back to Cambridge in two or three weeks to go to work, with your help. Otherwise you find me back here next spring, with my banjo and fishing rod, waiting for Dorothy Dering to return. I am not joking, although it would be perhaps like Teddy and therefore more acceptable. It doesn't dawn upon me that you will refuse, but I suppose that is my everlasting, infernal oonoeit. Nevertheless I give you ten minutes to answer my note, and if it .doesn't oome in that tinie I open the dbbr an8'enter, for the key is on my eide of thejkeyhoie.
She—This is not sudden. I have expected It longer than I dare tell. I had a lovely storylike specoh ready to make, but you put me off my guard and made me forgot it by that last note. I would like, per haps, Jo say that I would be a cousin to you, but he has never given me the ohance. It might be that you didn't know Teddy, otherwise Theodore Atherwaight, is your cousin. Now, you know why I never told you anything definite about him, for it would have spoiled everything. Nevertheless you have your infernal conoelt, as you call it, to thank. If you had pleaded with and begged me to say, "Yes," I should have laughed at you in the way you al ways tell me not to. As it is, I realize that you are not so very dreadful, and therefore I'll tell Theodore Atherwaight, Esq., all about it, and if he approves he may send his answer back to you, and so your answer rests entirely, with the hated Teddy*'* ''I
A week later Jaok was entertaining the whole household at the piano when a servant entered and banded him a letter, with a neatly done up paper parcel. He tore open the letter with more haste than is generally due and read: "She is not the only girl iij the world, not neoessarily. There are others But then you may judge the rest from tho package. Yours, T. R. A."
Jack carefully untied the brown outer wrapper and oame upon a dainty soft tissue paper paokage. All eyes were turned upon him when the thin tissue paper broke and out poured—a stream of rice and an old, much worn baby's shoe.— Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Convinced.
It is said that although the oelebrated advocate, Lord Erskine, was sometimes jocular and occasionally a little unfair In his treatment of witnesses, no man was better able than he to jnafee them realize the foolishness or utter irrelevance of their replies without giving offense.-
At one time a witness obstinately refused to be sworn in the usual manner, but stated that although ho would not "kiss the book" he would "hold up his hand" and swear.
Erskine asked him what reason he had for preferring such an eccentric way to tho ordinary method. "it is written in the book of Revelation," replied the obstinate man, "that the angel standing on ,the sea 'held up his hand."' "That is veiy true,** said Ersfcine, with a smile, "but I can hardly see how that applies to your ease. In the first place, you certainly are not an angel, and, in the second place, you cannot tell—you have no means of knowing—how the angel would have sworn If he had stood on dry ground as you do."
There was no flippancy or irreverenoe in Ersklne's tone, and after a moment's reflection the stubborn witness yielded tha point, impressed by the advocate's common sense view of the matter, and took the oath In the usual manner.—Youth's Companion.

MEN GROPE.
A WOMAN SEES THE LIGHT.
She Beet Understands q, Woman's Ills.
[BPCOUI TO ODR LAPY BKAUHHS.]
How gladly would men fly to woman^'1 aid, did they but understand a woman's feelings, trials, sensibilities, and peculiar organie disturbances!
Those things are known only to women, and the aid a man would give is not at his command.
This is why so many women suffer. Twenty years ago Xiydia E, Pinkhamgave to the women of the world the result of her fears Of study in the 'orm of her Vegetable Compound,— a universal remedy for all female complaints.
She well deserves the title, "Saviour of her Sex." She saw the light of reason, and gave it to her suffering sisters,
All female diseases put forth their symptoms, such as nervousness, lassitude, pale« ness, dizziness, faintness, leucor-
rhoea, faltering steps, sleeplessness, bear-ing-down pains, backache, and consequent melancholy and the blues,
Lydia E. Plnlcham's Vegetable Compound has for twenty years saved women from all this. Hear this woman speak: —r-
Five years ago at childbirth I did not have proper attention. I became very weak could lift nothing without bleeding from the womb, which was ulcerated badly. I was examined by a physician, and treated for a time, but was^compelled to leave the city'before I received benefit from the treatment. I decided then to give your medicine a trial. I improved rapidly on the first bottle of Compound, and now feel like a new woman. Ulcers have ceased to form on the womb as they did. I advise all women in any, way afflicted with female troubles to take your remedies, and trust that my testimonial will be seen by .-,^ friends who knew me when I was so sick, and that they may know I am now well, and that owe it all to your Vegetable Compound.'' Mrs. John\Ostrandek, 340 East Fiftyfifth Street, New York City, N.Y.
A Vic' ory For the Women. The Bar association of Alleghany county, Pa., at its last meeting, which was largely attended, grappled with the question whether women should be admitted to practice, with the result that the •women were victorious by a vote of more than ten to one. Consequently they "will be accorded tho same privileges as their male colleagues. The question was decided after ajively disoussion of a resolution which called on the judges to prohibit women from becoming students for the bar in Alleghany county and their admission to the bar when presenting themselves as accredited members of the profession from other places,^

Tbe Staff of The Times-Herald. National Hotel Reporter.
The Times-Herald, as conducted by Mr. Kohlsaat, Is In many respects the greatest newspaper in tbe United States. Its new owner and publisher is expending money with a liberal hand, and it is probably true that the payroll of The Times-Herald Is to-day considerably larger than that of any other American newspaper. Mr. Kohlsaat has, in fact, secured the services of nearly all the great newspaper writers of the day. Cornelius McAulift, the managing editor, ia a man of pronounced ability. Moses P. Handy, who is in charge of the editorial page, and who contributes, twice a week, some entertaining matter over his own signature, is known from one end of the country to the other as a ready writer and brilliant journalist. Mrs. Margaret Sullivan, who is regarded as one of ih« best writers in this country, retains her on the editorial staff. E. V. Smalley, recently returned to America from a lengfKy so journ in London, bas been added to the. corps of writers on Chicago's great newspaper. Frank 1. Stanton, whose poems appeal so strongly to the human heart, has a column of verses twice a week on the editorial page, and they are being widely copied. Hamlin Garland has recently become a contributor to this paper. Lyman B. Glover, so long the accomplished dramatic editor of Tbe Herald, now contributes well written articles on various topics over his own signature. Walter Wellman, the well known Washington correspondent, Is retained in the same capacity. Elvvyn A, Barron, who was for so many years the dramatic critic of the Inter Ocean, is now attached to The Times-Herald, with a residence in London, and Is writing some very scholarly and delightful letters from the riteg|maU|gg||ggPLt Britain. Charles Lederer, whOTra a^arlccmist has no superior, has recently been sent to Europe by Mr. Kohlsaat, and some illustrated articles from his pen are how appearing. Joseph Howard, Jr., a brilliant and caustic writer, long connected with the New York press. iB now a regular contributor to The Times-Herald. George Alfred Townsend. the talented"Gath" of the Cincinnati Enquirer and other papers, Is writing for Mr. Kohlsaat, and has recently sent some very delightful letters from eastern summer resorts. Mary Abbott is the literary critic, and also contributes entertainingly to the editorial page. Kate Field, the brilliant journalist and lecturer, has been engaged, and will shortly visit Hawaii under commission from the enterprising proprietor of this great Chicago newspaper. Other men and women of almost equal renown In the newspaper world have been secured by Mr. Kohlsaat. and it is undoubtedly true that no other journal In this country has upon Its staff so many brilliant, able and highpriced writers.
