Klcctric Unlit ii tliu ningnet that draws trade. The
bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People can
no more resist the attraction of uhriiliant, Kicctrically lighted
store than they can resist the clarion call of n hrass band.
Is your competitor with thcKlcctrically illuminated show
windows, bright interior mid sparkling Klcctric Sign getting
nu advantage over you ? The moth never flutters around the
iinllghted caudle! Up-to-date stores nowadays consider
shop-window lighting u necessity, whether they remain open
after dark or not. Competition fotces modern methods.
A show window brilliantly illuminated with Klcctric
light will make many ii sale "the night before." Klcctric
light coiiik.'Is attention, makes easy the examination of your
display, shows goods in detail and fabrics in their true colors.
And don't neglect the Klcctric Sign. It is soliciting
"tomorrow's" business every moment it Is lighted burning
your name in the public mind. It is u solicitor that never
becomes weary never Mops work costs little.

CHAPTER V.
EATJ NASH stood at tho door of tho rooms, amil
ing blandly upon a dainty throng in tho pink of (ta
finery and gay furbelows. Tho groat oxquisito bont
his body constantly in a series of consummately ad
justed bows beforo n great dowagor, Booming to
sweep tho floor in august doforonco; somewhat
Rtatoly to tho young bucks; greeting tho wits with
gracious friendliness mid n twinklo of raillery; inclining with fatherly
gallantry beforo tho beauties; tho degrco of hia inclination measured
tho altitude of tho recipient as accurately na a nicoly calculated sand
glass measures tho hours.
Tho king of Bath was happy, for wit, beauty, fashion to speak
moro concretely, nobloH, hollon, gamontort, bonux, statesman and poets
mado fairyland (or opora Lou (To, nt Ionat) in his dominions; play
ran higher and higher, and Air. Nash's coffers filled up with gold.
To crown his pleasure, a princo of tho Fronch blood, tho young
Cointo do Bcaujolais, just arrived from Paris, had reached Bath at
noon in state, accompanied tho Marquis do Miropoix, tho ambassador
of Louts XV. Tho beau dearly prized tho socioty of tho lofty, and tho
present visit was an honor to Bath ; honco to tho master of ceremonies.
What was bottor, thoro would bo sonio profitablo houra with tho cards
and dice. So it was that Mr. Nash smiled never moro benignly than
on that bright evening. Tho rooms rang with tho silvery voices of
women and dolightful laughtor whilo tho fiddles wont merrily, their
melodies chiming sweetly with tho joyanco of his mood.
Tho skill mid brazon effrontery of tho ambassador's scoundrolly
aorvaut in passing himsolf ofT for a man of condition formed tho point
without presuming upon tho privilcgo of his rank to laugh at tho in
dfgnation of society; an action tho moro praiseworthy because hit
exposure of tho impostor entailed tho disclosuro of his own culpability
in having stood tho villain's sponsor. Tonight, tho happy gentleman,
with Lady Mary Carlislo upon his arm, went grandly about tho
rooms, sowing and reaping a harvest of smiles. 'Twas said work
would be begun at onco to rebuild tho duko'a countryseat, whilo sot
cral ruined Jowa might bo paid out of prison. Pcoplo gazing on tho
beauty and tho atatobut modest horo by hor Bido said they would
mako a noblo pair. Sho had long been distinguished by hia attentions,
and ho had como brilliantly out of tho cpisodo of tho Frenchman, who
had been hia only real rival. Wherever they went thero aroso a buzz
of pleasing gossip and adulation.
Mr. Nosh, scoing thorn near him, camo forward with greetings.
A word on tho sido passed between tho nobleman and tho oxquisito.
"I had nowa of tho rascal tonight," whispered Nash. "Ho lay at
A farm till yesterday, when ho disappeared ; his ruffians too."
"You havo arranged?" asked tho duko.
"Fourteen bailiffs aro watching without Ho could not come
within gunshot. If thoy clap oyes on him, thoy will hustlo him to
jail, and hia cutthroata Bhall not avail him a hair's weight. Tho impor
tinont aworo ho'd bo horo by 0, did ho !"
"Ho said bo, and 'tis a rash dog, sir."
"It ia just 0 now."
"Sond out to seo if thoy havo taken him."
"Gladly." Tho beau beckoned an attendant and whispered in his
car.
Many of tho crowd had edged up to tho two gonticmen with ap
parent carelessness, to overhear their conversation. Thoso who did
ovorhcar repeated it n covert asides, and this circulating undcrtono,
confirming a vaguo rumor that Bcaucairo would attempt tho ontranco
that night, lent a plcasurablo color of excitement to tho evening. Tho
Fronch princo, tho ambassador and their suits wcro announced. Po
lito as tho assembly was, it was also curious, and thoro occurred a
mannerly rush to bco tho newcomers. Lady Mary, already palo, grow
whiter aa tho throng closed round hor. Sho looked up pathetically at
tho duko, who lost no timo in extricating hor from tho pressure
"Wait horo," ho said. "I will foteh you a glass of negus," and dis
appeared. Ho had not thought to bring a chair, and she, looking
about with an increasing faintness and finding none, saw that sho was
standing by tho door of a small sido room. Tho crowd swerved back
for tho passago of tho legato of Franco, and pressed upon hor. Sho
oponcd tho door and wont in.
Tho room waa empty save for two gonticmen, who wcro quietly
playing cards at a tablo. Thoy looked up aa sho ontorcd. Thoy woro
M. Bcaticairo and Mr. Molynoux.
Sho uttered n quick cry and leaned 'against tho wall, hor hand to
hor breast. Bcaucairo, though whito and weak, had brought hor a
chair beforo Molynoux could stir.
"Madcmoisollo"
"Do not touch mo 1" alio said, with such frozen nbhorronco in hor
voico that ho stopped short. "Mr. Molynoux, you ncok atrango com
panyl"
"Madam," replied Molynoux, bowing dcoply, as much to Bcau
cairo as to horsolf, "I am honored by tho presenco of both of you."
"Oh, aro you mad I" sho oxclaimcd contemptuously.
"This gentleman has oxaltcd mo with his confidence, madam," bo
roplicd.
"Will you add your ruin to tho scandal of this fellow's presenco
horo f How ho obtained ontranco"
"Pardon, madomoisollo," interrupted Bcaucairo. "Did I not say
I should como? M. Molynoux was so obliging as to answer for mo
to tho fourteen fricn's of M. do Wintorsct and Mccstairo Nash."
"Do you not know," sho turned vohomontly upon Molynoux, "that
ho will be romovod tho moment I lcavo this room ? Do you wish to
be dragged out with him ? For your sako, sir, becauso I havo always
thought you a man of heart, I givo you a chanco to savo yoursolf from
dtogritco and your companion from jail. Lot him slip out by some
rotircd way, and you may givo mo your arm and wo will ontor tho next
room as if nothing had happened, Como, sir"
"Madomoisollo"
"Mr. Molynoux, I desiro to hear nothing from your companion.
Had I not seen you ut curds with him I should havo supposed him in
attendance as your lackoy. Do you desiro to tako advantago of my
odor, sir?"
"Madetnoiscllo, I could not toll you on that night"
"You may inform your high born friend, Mr. Molynoux, that I
heard everything ho had to say; that my prido onco had tho pleasure
of listening to his high born confo&aion I"
"Ah, it is gentle to taunt ono with his birth, madomoisollo f Ah,
no I lnero is a man in my country who say strango tilings ox that
that a man is not his father, but himsolf."
"You may inform your friend, Mr. Molynoux, that he had a
chanco to defend himself against accusation ; that ho said all"
"That I did say all I could havo strength to say. Mademoiselle,
you did not seo as it was right that I had beon stung by a big wasp.
