that Raymond would be bold enough to

They obeyed. Ae he followed them
be took hi letter oft tho warden's dk
and put them in bla overcoat rioeke
still covering tha four. Tho warden
opened the doora. ; ;
" Every one of 'you stand up ngnlnnt

particular to keep your bands above

They marched back.
'What are you King to do about
this, Mangan?" naked Raymond,
'You'll hear too soon for your own
comfort," wu all that was vouelmafed
him. , '
When they had renched the rear wall,
Mangan pawed out through the door
ways and ran to cutcb a pnsaing car.
"It's getting hot," he snld to him
self as he allowed hia mind to wander
back over the exciting incidents ho hud
juat pasaed through. "It's fun in one
respect, hut If 1 cannot prove Isabel's
paternity Raymond will have tho

Denver in the morning before 1 got en
tangled in other plotB."
CHAPTER XII.
ISABEL YIKUR TO TltK BCHF.MRR.
When Mangan walked out of the
penitentiary, Raymond, the warden and
tne Keepers dropped their bunds. Kay
mond felt like berating the keepers
lonndly, He was not a man to allow
bis feelings to interfere with bis
schemes., It would never do to Buspend
tho keepers i It would be, bad to abuse
them-, it might awaken enmity even to
criticise them. Ho was at their mercy.
In his fruitless endeavors to confine
Mangan until he had millions secured,
be had simply succeeded in giving three
men o power over him that be would
have to conciliate for all time,
Thoreforo be said nothing concerning
.he experience of the evening, but bade
the warden and keepers good night and
Walked down the stoop, a much mora
flejected man than when he entered the
grim portals of the state's stronghold a
few hours before.
Next day be was fretful. He feared
the conseuuonces pf his act and, was
uncertain what to flu. ll awaited to
initiative of Mangan. Days passed and
he had beard nothing of the oewspapaf
man. He had Instituted Inquiries about
him, but no t race of biiu could be foamL
Ho hud newspaper friend - the recip
ients of hia favor who went on tarma
of intimacy with tho managing editor
of Tbe tingle, Unt oiauagiug editor
are uot telling everybody, or any oatv
JiiHt what men on spiniial nilsaiena art
about. Tbe words of the managing ed
itor, as ijuotcd to Raymond, werei
"Mangan baa dropped out of sight, I
don't know where he la."
"What baa become of blnifl That
was tbe question Raymond waa pus
sling about, Raymond waa not afraid
of a suit, it waa aud la the practice of
justices to run off on pleasure trips and
sign a unmbtir of patera for their chief
clerks to till. Naturally, the justice.
If ever called upon, accept the decision
of their clerks a their own, If Man
gun brought suit, tbe evidence would
bo all against hlui, If be said be had
never appeared tn court for trial, ba
would be set down aa demented, a At
subject for a lunatic asylum.
Raymond bad taolved to ascertain
whether anything waa known at tbe
convent of Mangan 'a location, H had
concluded that Mangan bad gone to
Denver. He had alao reasoned tooaltn
eolf that Mother Ht. Ucrtrude must have
known of bla discovery, Tbe letter ad
drotMcd to her predecessor satisfied hiia
ot that. If Maugan had gone to Den
ver, b must circumvent him. Howf
That be could determine only by learn
ing how much Mother Ht, Gertrude
knew aud then by deceiving bar and
laabel. It was a dangerous move to
vlait tbe convent, hut it was the safest.
Ho was playing for millions, and hi
nerve in tint not fall. Over a week bad
elapsed since Mangan disappeared, and
It waa time to act.
"Murprlaed to see tne, mother?" ho
said a lie passed inside tbe convent
portals, determined not to be ushered
out or take hint to go until he had
gained the knowledge ho was seeking.
"I am at a losa to acconut for your
visit," she said.
"I am interested In a frtcad of your
and a friend of laabel -Laurence Men-
."
"Well?"
"Do yon know where ba 1st"
"I do not."
lie scanned her feature and bad no
doubt that she was answering truly and
would answer truly if she did not re
sort to evasions. Prevaricate or equiv
ocate she would not.
"Yon know of hi mission?"
Vhat mission?"
"Well, be was writing an article and
went off at a tangent . He was too bot
bfaded to give explanations. Did ho
any what his suspicions were of my
conduct?"
"I am not at liberty to say any
thing." " Well, from your reply I shonld say
he was indulging in bis usual trade. 1
discovered some days before be did tb
coincidence of name In thedeeda of cer
tain lands, and atti acted by It took
stiqi to protect her and secure the prop
erty by paying the taxea and getting a
certificate. There was no record (that
i could find that would show tit was
any relative of here who bad made thte
tnveatment. Isabel la tbe helreaa, tbo
property Is hers.. and we have the time
to search into tbo past tor evidrnioe.!'
"And Laurence was going to Denver
to investigate. Just think of It, 1 was
surprised at bis conclusions, , 1 wish
bo was here now.";
" Bo do I. But, mother, my Interest
was in Isabel long , before this. Even
now it is difficult to prove herlgbt to
tbe property, 1 coufeaa 1 cannot see
bow it can be done. I'm a wealthy
man. Von know that. Tbere can be
no charge of seliiahoeea In my regard
for her. Do you know what that .re
gard Is?"
"Isabel has told mo, but la Laurence
really ber brother?"
"Hols."
"Then if you can prove that why
cannot you provo whether Isabel baa a
right to this estate or not?"
"lean only prove that there was a
George Leland, that Laurenoe is his
son and Isabel bis daughter. The fam
ily tradition will do that, but of Mr.
Leland 's Investments tbere are no
proofs. The lawyer who searched the
titles and arranged the purchase Is dead.
He was my patron, and I have fruitlessly
examined bis papers for any clow."
"Out how did you trace Isabel's to-;
latlonshlp?" C
Raymond .was not dealing with a
simple girl now. He was talking with
a woman of a judicial tomporament
who wanted to know the why and
wherefore of everything.
"Didn't Isabel tell yon?" he asked,'
parrying ber interrogatories to get time
to plan his story.
"She said something about an uncle
In Worcester preming him. Dut If tbe ,
uncle know of Isabel why did he never
write to her? Why did bo never send
ber some memento of ber mother? 1
cannot believe there are hearts in the
world so cruel."
" 1 told laabel that I discovered ber
name a short time ago by a memoran
dum o the old lawyer. It saidi 'Isa
bel Le Clair in Convent of Mercy and
Laurence jvtangan, supposed son , ot
James Mangan of Worcester, Mass., son
nd daughter of George Leland. See
case 8, shelf Evidently on that shelf
and in that case was something that
would throw light on all this.- The ex
ecutor, however, who was a brother of
the deceased, took those papers. Be
bus himself diod since, and in the few
weeks 1 have been looking Into the mat
ter 1 have beon no further enlightened.
On the other band, ths case was being
pressed against Laurence, and my inter
tat in Isabel caused me to display more
activity than usual in Laurence's be
half. Have I not satisfactorily ex
plained?" . ,.
"How do yon account for the antip
athy Laurence entertains toward you?"
"It is hurd."
"1 think bo is too candid, too honest,
to pcvBiBt In his enmity if a frank state
went wero miido to bim."
: "Unt wberolihanow?"
ul cannot
"1 know ba has been pub4 during
the peat few days and it likely to bo
arrested. Ha Is so blgb minded and
sensitive that ha might resort to mean
wa wonld jtcfloro. He etrtkee me as
on who would prefer death to dishon
or." i "He would' never than danger by
courting discredit','
f " I hop you art right mothor, bnt
bis abseno and bit silence art signifi
cant" . .
Just than Isabel peered In from the
corridor, Hhe wanted to tot Mother Bt
Uortrudt and bad been directed to tbt
reception room,: Raymond had aeon ber,
and sb oon Id not withdraw before tbe
mother superior aaldi
. "Com in, Isabel, "
8b obeyed, f Her fact told of tbt
night ol worry ah had pained thiough.
The change did not escape Raymond'
He attributed It to the secret that she
waa biding from Mangan and that sb
had imparted to Mothor Ht. Oertrndo. ,
; " You are looking til," bo said to her,
"I am uot feeling well," waa ber
only reply.
"I bop,' h continued, "that yon
art not fretting over things that will
ultimately lead to bapplneaa, though a
llttl perplexing now." -
"1 wish it would end quickly. Why
cannot you tell Laurence now?"
"I would like to pleas yon," he an
awered, " but i cannot find him. H
waa persecuted by tbe people of whom
I poke and has probably gone away to
soms other city.' I will take step to
find bim. In fact that' what brought
me here today."
"Oh, how good of you!" exclaimed
Isabel, and the sparkle of her eyes spoke
ber appreciation.
"There ate a few matter that must
bo attended Ut isstda," said Mother St
OeTtnide. "1 will bo away hut a few
momenta. Msanwblle try to devise
torn scheme to reach Laurence,"
"What would yon suggest?" queried
Raymond.
' " Wa mast frost to yon. Gut I'll go
over tb matter when 1 return."
"What I your opinion?" Raymond
aaked of laabel when the nun bad gone.
"It i a Mother 8t Oertrndo says.
Wo must trust to yon, "
"1 bava an idea," he said. "It must
not be mentioned to tb sister unless it
ta acceptable to you.','
"What ia it?"
"Laurence will never aettle down.
He will fly from place to place until the
Croaoontioa ceasea., Yoa know that 1
)vt you. 1 know that In time my de
votion will awaken reciprocal feeling
tu you. Let your love for Laurence
guide you.; I hav discovered property
both of yon may claim. 1 have taken
steps to bold it for yon, aa Mother tit
Oertrndo will explain. Surely there Is
in all this something that most give .
yon an assurance that nothing 1 can do
will be left undone to make yon and
him happy 1 hav told you bow and .
why bl character can be vindicated,
reconciliation effected, and your Uvea,
with mine, enter a vista more propi
tious, prosperous and peaceful."
"Mr, Raymond, 1 must say that I have
thought tbi matter overt that 1 cannot
glv you tbe love a wife should have
for her husband, andsshat while 1
might set aside my personal wishes to
further my brother's welfare, I have no
right to be a burden upon you."
"It ia no butden. If you never
change toward me, tbere will bo solace
In your friendship that will atone for
all."
"You have that already."
"But tbe companionship 1 have not
1 cannot proceed until yon are my wife,
Tbo very mention of this in tbe press,
bringing yon and tb convent into pub
licity, would create a sensation paiuful
to Mother St. Oertrndo. How can 1
explain my Interest in this case of bis,
risk my personal and political standing,
If 1 fail and scandal ensue, without
aomctblng to fortify me? Let me be
candid. ' 1 am not doing this for Lao
ronoa so much as for you. You can
hardly appreciate what it means to mo,
and it ia not likely that Laurence would
resent my Interference, But if you
say so, if you ask mo to make tbe sac
rifice, 1 will do so, I will give up all,
for tbe hope of winning your love."
"Love la dead witb me," she an
swered. "Affection survives,, tho at
lection that springs from gratitude. . 1
will consult witb Mother St. Gertrude."
Raymond was gaining his point at
every turn. He saw that tbe deep love
Isabel had for Mangan as a lover and
the affection due to a brother bad blend
ed. Mangan was dearer than ever to
her now. There was nothing she would
not dare for bim who was. torn from
heraye, torn from her, for she wept
at uight and worried by day that be
had been, blotted out of tlie pictures she
need, to draw of the future blotted out
from the most striking scenes, show
ing up only in the background of the
newer canvas placed, npen the easol of
ber dreams. She longed, to keep him
at the front, her hero still, bnt fact put
a weight on fancy and would not let it
oar. '
Laurence,, Maagnn 'fM. dead. She
could never love another as she had
loved bim. But Laureno Leland lived.
Ibe cavahok garment rontaueit nafl
dropped froaa bis hero Rori, but yet
bo appealed esrouger to tie sympathies.
Since it would be the way to dem
onstrate how strong bet krhad bean
and how attached she Kiil wrs to him,
and that the new relatisa would have
In it some of the iweetaoaa of the old,
the would crown her sorro w at parting
with a sacrifice for a reunion..
"I will go to Mufher St. Gertrude,"
Isabel continued, "I want to meet
her alone, to confide in her,' to appeal
to her,, to pray for guidance."
."Shall I wait?" '
""Yes."-. '
Isabel went in the direction tho nnn
had taken. Raymond knew or felt that
ho had dissipated the opinions the nun
had entertained of hitn through Man
gan 'a report. Yet he was nervous. He
hadift presentiment that all would not
ho satisfactory. , Ho arose and walked
baok nnd forth across tb reoentiou

room, just aa ho bad paced tb office of
the registrar of arrears soma day be
fore when bo took tbe first stop in tne
daring plot ho was now carrying out.,,
"I'll marry ber," besaid. "Bhe will
turn over the management to me, sign
ber rights away, and she'll not ba tbe
burden on mo she thinks. She can take
the veil then if she wants to, Mangan?
Oh, 1 'II have a judge appoint a com
mission tlutt will incarcerate him in tha
comity asylum, and It Isn't likely be'H
cscupe from there until I am politically
dead. And how are they going to kill
me? It will mt Mangan craxy anyhow
and the couiuibMioit will not have to
bo."
Tlnwand kindred Ideas were surg
ing through his brain a bo walked np
and down, bis bead bowed, bis brow
oorrugaU'd. bi flats clinched a a man'

flats will when he wants to drive back
tho rush of excitement pulsating
through bis uerves or meet tbe p.iiu

stop now and then to listen for the ie
turning foolatcpspf the sitter and the
girl, and while be was in tine of these
hearkening attitudes Mother Bt Ger
trudo. In her soft sandals, noiselessly
approached tbe door.
'Ah!" he exclaimed, straightening
up and endeavoring to be pleasant. "I
feared you had forgotten me."
"Under the circumstances that would
be difficult."
"What am I to understand, Mothei
Bt Gertrude?"
" Why, that tbe conversation betweeu
Isabel and myself precluded thoughts
of anything but yon. "
"la sue coming back?" be asked, ber
absence appearing to bim as an omen
of defeat.
"1 fear sbe is not strong enough.
She has had too much to bear of lute'
"Then I must go?"
"For the present you must be satisfied
witb this: Laurence will return in
good, time. He is Isabel? brother. I
cannot consent to any such arrangement
as yon propose, and I bavo confidence
in Luureuco himself that only bis own
actions can weuken. I will wait for
awhile. You know why Isabel con
sents. It ia through love for him, not
through love for yon, "
"My action is through love for ber."
"That 1 will not deny, Mr. Ray
mond." "Maugnii may not return, Would
you allow this shadow to rest over him?
lile has been a friend of yours. Can be
do more for you than I? Sister, do you
now my power?"
"J do. I would like it to be the pow

"It is." '
"I m pleased to learn that."
"Hut ot Laurence?".
"lio stain slmll rest on his name If 1

l owe him the faith in hia character
that itmiBt not liHten, no matter bow

i "Then I had better go. 1 will bid

Mr.George F. Kimball, tbe well known
jobber of window and plate glass at
Chicago, ha submitted for publication
the following discouraging view re
garding the trades
"It Is difficult to speak of the condi
tions in the glass trade without seeming
to be a prophet of hard time. The tariff
agitation, pointing to a revision that ap
parently means disaster to the manufac
turing and jobbing branches of tbe glaaa
trade, haa affected sale until it hurts ev
ery one engaged in tbe business from
tho laborer np and down. Speaking in
general terms, I should say tha volume
of business in glass haa been decreased
fully 20 per cent aa compared with last
year, and if it had not been for the
World's fair and the business which fol
lowed as a result or its nreseuee Chi
cago's glaaa trade would have been at

ago.
"Studying the situation aa carefully a
may be, there seems to be no important
factor in tbe trade disturbance outeide
of the tariff revision proposed by thoad
ministration.,. The glass trade baa suf
fered ever since Mr, Cleveland came into
power from the knowledge that the tariff
schedule would bo lowered and other
wise disturbed. - Tbo result has been a
decrease in purchases by jobbers, a con
sequent reduction of manufacture, fol
lowed by the discharge of large numbers
of workingmen and the shutting down.
of many large plants. Today only two

factories are at work. .
"Tbe jobber who haa any stock at all
is glad, to dispose of it at cost and the.
man who has no stock is waiting ,to see.

purchases.
"Another factor in the business is the
abeence of the men who intend to build.
Ordinarily permits are taken out in the
fall for buildings so tho foundation may
be laid and everything put in condition
for completion early in. the spring. So
the fall permits indicate in a measure
what Is to be done in the way of build
ing during the ensuing year. The per
rnits issued this fall show that very little
construction ia contemplated during the
winter and coming spring. Taking all
the indications, I cannot see 'whore , the
glass manufacturers and jobbers are to
get any business in the immediate fu
ture, and I do not look for anything like s
a resumption, of favorable conditions be
fore late in the. summer of 1894 or early
In the fall. .
"This ia bound to affect labor iu the
glaaa manufacturing and kindred trades, .
If the duty on glass ia reduced 00 per
cent, it must, in my opinion, come off f
the laborers' wage. ; The material in a . '
pane ot glass does not amount to any
thing as compared with the cost of la
bor in that pane-rf or instance, a pane of -glass
selling for $100 ip Chicago has raw ,'
material in it worth perhaps 8, Any ,
reduction in the selling price must come '
from the cost ot labor.: Take our polish
