They tell a good story on a party of excursionists -who went on a personally misconducted tour to Mexico last win ter. The party waa in charge of Charles Gates of Toledo. They traveled in a special train, which stopped at all the interesting places en route long enough to give the excursionists ample time to eee the eights, and sometimes they saw gome not down on the bills. This story concerns one of them. They stopped at a small town near the Mexican frontier name omitted, lest after this tale ia printed excursion ists should swarm to see it While stroll ing along a little stream half a dozen of the' male members of the party came across an inclosure with the legend: "Bathing for ladies. Do not look. " The fence was not too high to climb, and when a greaser policeman happened along that way he found six staid and supposedly respectable heads of families hanging over that fence, gazing, with all the strength of their dozen eyes. Accordingly he gathered them in and escorted them down to the little adobe jail,' where they were locked up to await bail. As the time for the train to depart approached the wives of the six prisoners began to look about for their worse halves. Then a Mexican official came to the train and notified them of the trouble. Mr. Gates, who had luck ily staid with the train, at once went to the rescue. First he interviewed the prisoners, and then he went before the ' local al-. caide to plead for them. Luckily that official spoke English and also enjoyed a joke. "These men are all American gentle men," urged Mr. Gates. "Highly re spected citizens of some of our largest communities." "Well, they should not have looked over the fence; they saw the sign. " "I am convinced that they did not see the sign," insisted Mr. Gates. "Why?" inquired the alcalde. "Because there were half a dozen more in the party, and if they had seen that sign all would have been there. " "Release the prisoners," said the al cade, while his sides shook with laugh-tar.- Washington Post. How It Ended. The new office boy gave it out the second-night he worked that in his opinion the)ld office boy, who was transferred to another department, was "a slob."

Hamilton Gib' son, soon to be published by Harper & Brothers. Thirty native food varieties, easily recognizable by their marked individualities, have been selected by Mr. Gibson for depiction and descrip tion in these pages, and simple rules are given for the identification of pois onous species. There are to be thirty full-page colored plates and fifty -seven other illustrations in black and white by the author. Unlike Constance Fenimore Wool son's previous works, which were strongly American in the choice of subjects, the volume entitled "The Front Yard, and Other Italian Stones, describes foreign scenes and portrays many -European types of character. But these stories have Miss Woolson's quality, and the fact that they, to gether with the two volumes an nounced by the Harpers to follow be fore the year is ont, stand for the au thor's first efforts in a field new to her, will add zest to the public desire for them. ' -r The leading article in the Septem ber Harper's will give the impressions received by Mr. Bichard Harding Davis during a recent overland jour n6y in Honduras, undertaken for Har per's Magazine and Harper's Weekly. The title is "Three Gringos in Afri ca," and the paper will be attractively illustrated. Besides Honduras, Mr. Davis' travels included Nicaragua . and Venezuela, and other things he saw in this interesting quarter will be told in susequent numbers. A capital feature of Harper's Weekly in the immediate future will be a ser ies of humorous papers entitled "A House Boat on the Styx," written by John Kendrick Bangs and illustrated by Peter NewelL . Adventures and conversations in the lower world are the themes attacked by this brace of humorous talents, and the attention of the defunct persons whose doings and sayings are recorded leaves nothing to be desired. The September Current Literature shows no sign of the midsummer dull ness; it is bright, breezy, marvelous as ever. Whether one wishes sentiment, pathos, tragedy, humor, realism, enter tainment,, or information 'ha will have each and all, to minister to . any mood. Forty-five departments, all ably edited, makes a synopsis of con tents difficult Fanny Mack Lothrop, whose editorial taste as a compiler is attracting attention, has a collection of Historic Portraits in ' Sonnet; Sim mons's Renunciation is a delicious hu morous sketch. Aiding in an Escape is a dramatic scene. Her Sister's Sweetheart is a page of woman's auti biography told without reserve. At a Cowboy's Funeral is a bit . of rugged and honest pathos, and so the list runs on. A better' electric magazine than Current Literature it would be difficult to make. . "Compulsion in Child-Training," is the subject which the Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, D. D., discusses wisely and well in the September -Ladies' Home Journal. His article is ably supple mented by Edward W. Bok's excellent editorial on Our Schools and Our Teachers." "The Woman Who Paints Cats" is the striking title of a full page devoted to Madame Henriette Ronner, the celebrated cat painter; several copies of her most celebrated pictures being given. "The Men Who Write Our Comic Operas" are repre sented by portraits and sketches of "The Composer of 'Wang " "The Composer of 'Robin Hood' " and "The Composer of "Princess Bonnie.' "Grace ful in theme and melodious in con struction is Mr. Robert Coverely's song "Love's Reflections," written exclu sively for this issue of the journal. Grace Greenwood writes of the "Man Who Most Influenced Me," Amelia E. Barr of "Conversation at the Din ner Table," and Frank R. Stockton's "Lo-e Before Breakfast" comes to a happy conclusion. Mrs. Mallon's "The Early Winter Bonnets," and "Silk and Woolen Bodices" are daint ily illustrated by Abby E. Underwood, as are "Party Dresses for Children," by W. Granville Smith, and "The Early Autumn Coats," by Frank O. Small. Women who love dainty needlework will be delighted with Helen Mar Adam's "Greek Embroid ery Designs" and Mrs. Barnes-Brace's "A Bridal Table Set" Altogether this attractive issue,, which goes out with a cover especially designed by Mr. C. D. Gibson, is worth ten - times its price of ten cents. The Ladies' Home Journal is published by the Cur tis " Publishing Company, . of Phila delphia, for ten cents per. number and one dollar per year. The current number of the Illus trated American opens with a brilliant pictorial article on Heine and the Heine statue refused by Germany and accepted by New York. In "Famous American Duels" Henry Anstin tells of an encounter between two Revolu tionary heroes and gives Major Andre's parody in rhyme on the event "The First Car that Crossed Niagara," by L. C.

Copyright. 1801, by American Press Associa tion.! . PART ONE DEATH. CHAPTER. L HARRY TRENT'S NEW HOME. It is less than twenty years since the Trent murder in New York, and it was one of the great sensations of the time. But the Franco-German war, following close upon it, distracted public atten tion. The mystery connected with it was never bleared up, and today there are few people who remember it. It lies at the threshold of our story, however, and we must speak of it before going further. - - . - In the year 1870 the city, above Six tieth street, was thinly settled. Upper Fifth avenue, with the park on one side and a waste of vacant blocks on the other, was like a country road. There were irregular hollows, sometimes with stagnant water in them, or rocky hill' ocks, adorned with an occasional board shanty; but there was no promise of the array of palaces that look down upon the people s pleasure ground today. When, therefore, the year previous, Harry Trent had laid the foundations of his new house, half a mile or more be yond civilized limits, he was called a clever fellow or a fool, according to the temperament of the critic. Conserva tives propesied that he would remain in lonely grandeur for twenty or thirty years to come, while optimists declared that he showed even more than his usual shrewdness in securing betimes a site which, later, was sure to fetch four or five times its present value.' Harry Trent himself said little, but went on with his building. v He was certainly no fool in a general way of speaking,. He was between fifty and sixty years of age, and his hair Was white; but then it had been white since his youth, and his face looked fresh and young. In figure he was above middle height, graceful and well built His manners were exquisitely suave and courteous, and had a polish not exactly American. In fact he had lived many years abroad, and was received in the best English and French society. He was a personal acquaintance of the late Emperor Napoleon IH, and was said to belong to the Prince of Wales set But though cosmopolitan in his way of life he was a good American in his political and social opinions.- It was his business that took him abroad. . . . .. stretched out on the rug. . He was of good family, and his father had left him a property sufficient to re lieve him from the necessity of work. But Harry Trent had not an idle bone in his body, and he had no sooner complet ed his university career than he gave proof of his activity. . Instead of taking np a profession, however, or cultivating the fine arts as his fine taste and organ ization might have lad yon to suppose he would he directed his energies to trade. After spending a few years in a banker's office, to learn the meaning of finance, he rented a place up town and appeared before a startled community as a dia mond merchant. ' After all, if one must follow a trade, there are few articles of commerce more agreeable - to deal in than diamonds. They are beautiful to look at, profitable -to handle, and they stimulate the imag ination. The romances of diamonds are among the - most fascinating of the world's stories. The spell woven' by these stones is mysterious; it differs from the vulgar craving for money. The liv ing, changing, intangible spirit in them allures forever those who have once yielded to it Its glory seems unearthly, for it is like nothing else of earth; yet one would scarce venture to call it heav enly. It gleams most brilliantly from the midst of human blood and crime and misery. The diamond necklace sparkles like a river of Sowing light on a wom an's bosom; but on that river the souls of both man and woman are hurried to death. The hollow of an infant's hand may hold a gem able to raise an army or provision a city; yet it is but a form of the commonest of physical products. It is our invincible love of beauty that gives it its value, yet all evil and ugly passions are its foster children. Its pos session carries power, but ever threatens destruction. - Be all that as it may, Harry Trent dealt in diamonds, and built fame and fortune from them. In a comparatively short time he became the best known and wealthiest merchant in the trade. No one was a surer judge of their purity and value; diamonds of unequaled purity and splendor seemed to crystallize be neath his fingers. He knew the history and owners of all the great gems' of the world, and stones were believed to pass through his hands equal in quality to any extant Withal, like all true dia mond merchants, he was as silent as the grave. No one could tell with certainty what his transactions were or who were his chief clients. Therefore, on the principle of omne ignotum pro magnifico, fabulous reports were circulated about hira. He had bought and sold the jewels of empires. He had weighed in his' balances the Crowns of the sovereigns of Europe. - He had bargained with the shah and the sultan. In his books might be found the names of every millionaire of contemporary times. Half the diamonds of Old World history either were or had been in bis possession, and .were . re placed in the regalia of their putative owners by skillful imitations in pasta. So ran the gossip, at which Harry Trent, when he happened to hear any-of it, would laugh heartily and declare that it was lucky nobody knew how -really diffi cult it was for him to make both; ends meet. The truth, as usual, doubtless lay be tween the extremes, but may reasonably be held to have inclined toward the large extremity rather than the mall one. Kinju4 aaeeni aod ether psl of august station are sometimes in pressing need pf money , and kave little except their jewels to offer: in exchange for it. Their jewels may orvmay- not be their personal property; at' all events, paste reproductions are cheap and easily come by. Who knows, or can expect to know, whether the Regent de France, the Pasha of Egypt, the Sancy, or even the Great Mogul, are genuine or bogus? If bogus, where are the originals? Whispers have even been heard regarding the Koh-i-noor; but it is to be hoped that, in this case at least, there is no basis for them. Meanwhile Harry Trent continued dili gently at work on his new house. We have seen many fine houses erected since then; but it is safe to say that Trent a house is still as good as anything in the way of a dwelling in New York city, Its excellence, howevar, lay not so much in external adornment as in the fittings and furniture inside. ' . . ; It stood on a corner lot or rather on a corner lot and two adjoining ones and there was space on both sides of it, while at the back was a roomy inclosure and stables. It was built of a reddish graystone, with broad projecting win dows admitting plenty of light. The plan of the rooms and staircases was most agreeable; at whatever point you stood you saw around you only charming vis tas, harmonious lines, soothing colors and spacious perspectives. Every room was a picture in itself, combining with the ethera to form a more elaborate picture. Yet the eye was never wearied by petty details; the minor features constituted and contributed to the whole effect in stead of detracting from it. There was nothing in the house that did hot belong to Harry Trent not only in the ordinary sense of proprietorship, but as being the material incarnation of his thoughts, tastes and accomplishments." His house was he and it is paying him no small compliment to say so. A man's interior is not always so comely an object of con templation. Yon might discover, indeed, here and there, a picture, a statue, a sweep of drapery or a passage- of color that indicated regions in the designer's nature of a somewhat sumptuous, sensu ous or voluptuous tendency; but they were never obtrusive, never out of due subordination to the rest, and were after all only what would be expected from a man of his artistic and generous tempera ment. But what was Harry Trent going to do with his new home? He was going to live in it, doubtless; but did he mean to live alone? Thia question had latterly thrown a good many charming women into a meditative frame of mind. , It was known, of course, that Harry Trent had been married; but that was in his youth; his wife had died within a year and had left him childless. There was nothing, then, in the way of his marrying again, and upon other grounds such an event was probable. For, as has already been intimated, he was still to all intents and purposes a young man. . That quality in him that led to Jiis being called Harry Trent, instead of Mr. Trent, or Henry, may serve to convey one meaning. He was still in the swim; he was not on the re tired or retiring list; he was modern and active, not fossilized and antiquated. Men younger in years than he had not half his elasticity and vitality. He kept pace with the times and looked ahead rather than backward. Moreover, he was fond of society and constantly in it, and a man more liked by women could not! be found. It was not that he dazzled them with his own brilliancy, but he made them brilliant; he drew from, them the best that was in them and. enchanted them with themselves. Mirabeau had the "don terrible de la familiarite;" Harry Trent had the no less terrible gift of sympathy magnetic sympathy (to employ once again that abused adjective). There was a vigorous, masculine fiber in him that never fails to attract the other sex. They felt that he understood them and could manage them could do the thing they wished to have done, whatever it might be. This, of course, is not quite the same as saying that "the American Castellani" (as he was sometimes styled) was a man whom women could afford to trust There were stories about him never fairly authenticated, however that pointed to a different conclusion. If we give ear'to the gossip of the world, who would escape? Harry Trent was a man of the world, and he was a highly cul tured, a fastidious man. Low intrigues would not come in his way; on the other hand, he made no profession of saintship; he went to church, and was privately charitabln; for the rest, you must take him. for what he appeared, and he was taken for an uncommonly fine fellow. ; But to return to the marriage ques tion. The opinion gained ground that Harry Trent contemplated matrimony, though no seer was found bold enough to point ont the particular woman who was to enjoy the good fortune of being made his wife. Some fancied it might be the handsome New Orleans widow, Sally Ma tchin, who was known to have been on terms of cordial friendship with him for many years, and at whose house in West Eighteenth street he was often seen. But experienced critics objected that, had she been the destined bride, she would have become Mrs. Trent long ago the acquaintance was now too old to issue in that manner. A few enter prising spirits threw out suggestions looking toward Olympia Raven, a beau tiful girl of eighteen, and a cousin of Harry's by marriage. . But Olympia was really too young, even for Harry, and besides, he had quietly made known his intention of inviting her and her mother to come and live with him which, it was agreed, he would scarcely have done had he meant to wed her; nor would he have settled an income of eight thousand a year on the mother and daughter had he looked forward to becoming the former's son-in-law. So one hypothesis after another was advanced and rejected, and at the end nobody waa wiser than at the beginning. The bouse was completed In what seemed, judged by our standards, a won derfully short time, for it was ready tc be lived in before the end of the wintsi season of 1879 say in carnival time. But Harry Trent had himself superin tended the work in all its stages, and had seen to it that the workmen's hours of rest did not exceed their hours of la bor. And yet, when ' all Was done and February was drawing to a close, ht still delayed moving in. ?It may have been merely accident; it may have been that he was waiting for Olympia Raven and her mother to get ready, or, possi bly for all men have" their weak side he was the least bit superstitious and was haunted by a recollection of that old proverb, "When the house is built death enters in," But be was strong and healthy, in the full enjoyment of a life that bad never met with a eeriouf failura or duappointmant U f ivtf thing he attempted he had been 'success ful, and either prudence or a naturallj happy temperament had kept bita froic spoiling his nerves and digestion! by toe anxious- and assiduous labor. If evei the afternoon slope of a man's life prom ised to be sunny, easy and prolonged, it promised so to hiuv He had built house psrfactly adapted to his needs: it was' ready to receive him; his m:iny friends, impatient for the house warm ing, were counting the days that had tc elapse before Lent came and postponed the celebration to a remote Easter and still Harry Trent made no sign. What was the matter with him? - He had, in fact, visited the house al most every day, letting himself in with his passkey, and sauntering through the beautiful rooms, where fires were kept "burning in the open grates byi. the care takers in charge. He contemplated the interior from all points of view and in all moods, sometimes tentatively mak ing a slight modification of arrange ment, which he was as likely as- not . to restore tho next day. He seemed loath tc persuade himself that all was really just as be would have it, and yet he' could devise no improvement. So might a lover study the face of hi3 mistress, afraid to believe that her lovely features were absolutely without flaw, ... or sc might any mortal regard tho most nearly perfect earthly achievement, unable to suggest any bettering of it, and yet vaguely conscious" that, in some Way, nothing of this, earth could be perfect indeed. - Tho twenty-fifth, of the mouth ar rived and found the situation unchanged. Harry Trent had on that day gone to afternoon tea at Mrs. Mat chin's, it being her day at home, and had remained till after six o'clock. A dozen other people were present, and the talk wasf lively. Harry himself seemed in particularly fine spirits. When he took bis leave Mrs. Matchin accompanied him to the ante room and stayed there a few moment speaking with him in an' undertone. They were undoubtedly on confidential terms, and (for every straw mulf "count; it sent up her stock as the possible Mrs. Trent several degrees. She came back with a deepened color and a mysterious smile, and entertained her company more brilliantly than ever.
