THE STKOKE OF RUIN
Boyle Harding leaned back in an easy
thair on the iron railed gallery 'which
overhang the sidewalk and smoked slow
ly, with half closed eyes. He was await
ing and expecting the arrival of his
young friend, Francois Rapin, who had
lately interested him to a singular de
gree. Even at the moment, up the tun carpet
ed stairway, came the active Creole's
feet, two steps at a time, along with a
lively time sung almost breathlessly
through a curving black mustache.
"Well, and -what is it?" demanded
theNew Yorker. "Whathave youfonnd
out?"
' ' Maybe she went to the French opera.
Go with me. I have a box. Coma. "
! "But haven't yon yet seen her?"
"Seen her. How should I know? M.
Harding forgets the conditions." He
laughed in his atrociously frivolous
French way.
"I beg pardon," said Harding quick
ly. "I had indeed forgotten that I did
not know her name, her place of resi
dence, nor yet even the color of her eyes.
Yes, I will go with you to the opera.
Everybody goes, eh?"
He had come south a fortnight past
with letters of introduction to influen
tial people, but he was not seeking so
ciety. A quiet sojourn in New Orleans
with his eyes and ears open suited him
better.
What was perhaps just ' the thing he
would have most desired came to him
unexpectedly one day. He suddenly met
a beautiful young woman face to face at
the door of Garcia 's old book store.
Harding was electrified and impulsively
lifted his hat She passed him with a
half smile, leaving a breath of violets
and the rustle of a gown quietly elegant
in the air round about.
A lover is a great fool, but he is the
only man who knows what song it was
that the stars sang, and' to him you
must go if you would learn the secret of
heavenly happiness and the value of
dreams as nutriment for the imagina
tion. A lover's soul will treble its
stature by feeding one moment on a
smile. "- :
In fact, Boyle Harding had felt this
sudden growth within. It had quicken
ed, broadened and sweetened his spirit
ual vision, while affording a fine and
richly mysterious increment to his en
joyment of his new surroundings.
This was midway in the fifties, when
New Orleans had reached the splendid
zenith of her wealth, and when the pe
culiar color of her social life was most
dazzling and romantic.
As they went along Rapin was prat
tling on the subject of fencing, always
a great vogue with the jeunesse doree
of New Orleans.
"But you must be interested in sword
play in fencing. It is the noblest of all
exercises for gentlemen, and your phys
ique is precisely made up for it. Yon
must be a master, or you could be. "
"I have had good masters," Harding
replied, in an evasive tone, "but I am
losing interest in it " -
"Your masters were In New York?"
"No; Paris. I had M. Duval for
three years."
"Ah, what fortune ! He, and he only,
teaches the 'stroke of ruin,' the pass
which pierces across from shoulder to
shoulder, disabling the victim for life,
yet never killing him I
"And you learned his stroke I Oh, but
I am overjoyed, and you will teach me
to do it Ah, monsieur, I shall be your
lifelong debtor. I have dreamed of that
incomparable thrust, I have made two
journeys to Paris to learn it ; but, you
must know, M. Duval is an ancient en
emy of my father's. I could not go to
him."
A great curve of splendor, a flash of
faces, throats, bosoms, jewels, laces,
eyes, fans a bewildering horizon of
corsages, coiffures,. necklaces, bracelets,
rings; a foam of airy gowns sinking
and swelling gently, like surf froth
against a beach of fairyland. Harding
gazed in half blinded stupidity, so h
felt, and could see no details, could make
out no individual face distinctly.
" We will begin the lessons tomor
row, " murmured Rapin. "I shall be an
apt scholar, monsieur. "
"Yes,"' said Harding absently. He
was gazing along the great sweep of
beauty and light
"But excuse me a moment or two,"
the Creole added after awhile, when the
curtain Was down. "I am going to call
at the box of a friend. "
Harding continued his survey, which
now that his eyes had somewhat accus
tomed themselves to the glamour, became
more real and absorbingly interesting.
', Presently he saw Rapin in a box, a
magnificent one, near the center, talk
ing with a tall young woman, and it
was she. There could be no doubt for a
moment .
Harding's eyes were fixed. The trance
of that old time love which men used
to acknowledge was upon him. And at
the very central moment she turned
from Rapin and looked straight at him.
The prosy fact was that Rapin in his
enthusiastic way had been telling Mlla
Marie de Montmartin that was her
name about his good fortune in finding
a master to teach him the "stroke of
ruin," and he had directed her attention
to the young man in his box.
But for Mile. Marie de Montmartin,
we may as well say that she glanced
mechanically, then looked again,
l Rapin presently returned to the box,
bringing with him, or at least Harding
fancied it, a breath of that exquisite
violet perfume which had been haunting
Harding's memory for days and nights
together.
"Who is she the young lady in the
box where you've been?"
The abrupt inquiry and a certain tim
bre of Harding's voice betrayed bis
emotion to the quick Creole.
"Oh, she that is, Mile. Marie de
Montmartin. Lovely, isn't she?' You
might envy me, M. Harding. She is my
betrothed."
"Ah" Harding hesitated and a pal
ish change passed over his face. Then
he coolly added: "I do envy you. Yes,
she is the most beautiful girl that I have
ever seen. She is the one I met in the
old book store door. You are quick to
find.-"
The next day Rapin came to Hard
ing's room for his initial lesson, but the
young man begged a postponement He
was not feeling in good form, he said,
and was averse to exercise.
And now Harding's powerful letters
of introduction came into play. The
only son of General Stanope Harding
had the key to open even the exclusive
gate of the mansion wherein the ancient
family traditions of Montmartin were
kept in an atmosphere of their own.
We must acquit him. He did not de
liberately seek to gain her affections.
Indeed there was no need to seek. She
claimed him at sight, and the way was
love's sweetest path. Rapin was forgot
ten. So, in due course of time, the engage
ment was announced and the wedding
day approached.
Harding had a desire to go again to
the old book store of Garcia, on Royal
street, and have his first meeting with
Marie over once more in his imagina
tion. At Garcia's door Harding came ab
ruptly face to face with Francois Rapin,
whom he had not seen since the an
nouncement of the coming nuptials.
Harding stopped short in his tracks
and would have probably put forth his
hand in a friendly offer of salutation,
but just then his bat was lightly tapped
from his head by Rapin, who immedi
ately picked it up and handed it to him,
saying:
"M. Harding will not remember his
promise to teach me the mysterious
stroke of M. DuvaL "
At first Harding's heat of temper was
great, but reflection led him to consult
his friends, who ridiculed the thought
of a dueL His northern friends were
unanimously opposed to the duel, but
now he must be frank and lay the mat
ter before his fiancee's family.
"You must fight him, sir," said
Montmartin.
"Of course there is but one way open
to a gentleman," sighed Marie, "you
must challenge him. "
They met at sunrise under the "oaks"
so well known to dueling history. Mer
rily clinked their rapiers for honor's
sake and Marie's.
That was but about 40 years ago,
and yet what a distance 1 What a far

group, with a queer little shrug,

Seeds of the Mushroom.
The spores (seeds), composed of a two
coated cell, are borne on the gills or
tubes under the cap. One plant often
produces 10,000,000 spores. To see these
tiny spores you must cut the top of a
toadstool off and lay it right side up on
a sheet of black paper. After a few hours
remove it carefully, and an exact rep
resentation of its shape will remain on
the paper, formed by the thousands of
spores which have fallen out If the
spores fall on favorable soil, they ger
minate and send out great numbers of
tiny threads. These, becoming inter
twined and woven together, cover the
ground like the finest web, and this is
known as the mycelium, or "spawn. "
The threads absorb nourishment and
carry it to the quickened spore. Mar

IMPERIAL MILLIONS

They mounted to the second floor ac
cordingly, she still leaning on his arm.
He left her on the threshold of the
room, and the door closed behind her
as she entered. There was a fire of logs in
the fireplace, and in the chandelier a
score of flames burned steadily. The
room was like the chamber of a fairy
princess. Every appliance that could
render a woman's existence luxurious
and exquisite was there; every sense was
flattered, every soft impulse stimulated.
She moved about resting her eyes on
one delight after another. The bed, the
toilet table, the washstand, the low
chairs and divans, the soft rugs under
foot, the walls hung with lovely tapestry,
the numberless minor beauties of decora
tions that only women of a certain fine
ness of taste and temperament know how
to appreciate all seemed designed for
her. Was it so, indeed?
She seated herself at length and fell
into a long revery. Opposite to where
she sat was a tall and wide mirror, in
which she saw herself reflected at full
length. It was set in the wall, the heavy
bevel of the glass and its frame of ebony
with ivory filigree pattern inlaid showed
that it was a rare antique such a mirror
as the magicians of old time were fabled
to employ in necromantic mysteries.
One might expect to behold in it secret
scenes from the future or the past re
flections from a heart that kept its own
counsels. -
A dreamy mood came over the wom
an. Her mind wandered vaguely from
one region of thought to another. She
sat with eyes half closed; all around her
was still. Glimpses of her earliest life
passed before her, and then pictures
nearer to the present and not so fair.
She strove to banish them, and fix her
mind on the anticipation that had lately
suggested itself to her. To be the mis
tress of this house the wife of this man
the dispenser of his fortune! But by
a perverse infelicity her memory revert
ed to their talk in the reception room.
She saw the court room, the judge and
jury, herself in the witness box, and then
in the prisoner's dock the pallid counte
nance, framed in black hair, of the youth
who was on trial for his life. He was
condemned; he was dead; his look seemed
to reproach her for his death.
Either her eyes were dim or the room
had grown strangely dusky. What
light there was appeared to concentrate
on the mirror. In its depths a figure
darkly appeared, growing more distinct
as she gazed upon it What was it?
Not her own reflection. She had not
moved from her position. No. This
figure stood erect; it was clothed in black
garments; it advanced from a shadowy
background. It was the figure of a man;
surely she had seen it before! Her nerves
thrilled cold and her joints stiffened as
she looked. Was her visitor assuming
concrete form before her eyes? The face
was still obscure; but in that slowly in
creasing and lifting light it dawned into
appalling visibility. And now it was re
vealed! It was he it was Keppel Darke!
A black veil seemed to swathe the lower
part of his countenance; his features
were contorted in a ghastly stare, direct
ed upon her. He raised his hands and ap
peared to struggle with the semblance
of a rope about his neck. Then he point
ed to the floor at her feet, and with a
sudden flash of conviction she knew that
this room, so cunningly disguised, was
the room in which Harry Trent had
fallen, stabbed to the heart! With a
shriek she sprang to her feet and stag
gered forward.
CHAPTER m
AN ENTERTAINMENT. .
She staggered, turned partly round and
would have fallen.
Count de Lisle knocked at the door.
For 'a minute or two there was no an
swer. He knocked again. "Madame
Trent," he said, "pardon me for disturb
ing you, but the guests are beginning to
arrive." The door was opened slowly.
The beautiful Sallie stood there pale,
with distended eyes. : She stared at him
as if she hardly realized his presence,
but after a moment she put out her hand
and clutched him by the sleeve. She
drew him into the room.'
"Why did you put me here?" she said,
in a husky voice. "What was it?"
"Are you ill? Is anything wrong?" he
asked anxiously.
"That mirror!" she continued. "I saw
I thought Oh! what was it?"
A tremor passed through her and her
teeth chattered.
The mirror?" he repeated, looking
perplexed.
She turned as if with an effort and
gave a glance toward it The room was
full of light The fire burned cheer
fully. The antique mirror reflected their
two figures standing together in the
doorway. After a pause she gave a faint
laugh and put her hand to her head. "I
was asleep, I suppose; it must have been
a dream a nightmare. Dead men. are
dead!" and she laughed again.
"You are not well," he said. "You
had better lie down on the bed for an
hour or two and rest I will see that
yon are not disturbed. I will receive the
guests myself ." -
"Rest in that room!" she exclaimed.
She gave him a very searching glance.
"You were speaking about ghosts a
while ago," she observed. "Any one
would think you had a presentiment
Ah, well! You'll think I'm out
of my head. Come, I am ready. JJon't
be afraid, dear count I shall be equal
to the emergency."
In fact she recovered her self-posses
sion very rapidly, and was even mom
alert than usual. ; The incident of the
mirror had aroused every latent quality,
good or evil, in her nature. And her
mind, which was strongly materialistic
and logical in its bias, applied itself with
a sort of angry heat to the consideration
of the mystery. She did not believe in
ghosts, and she had not been asleep. Yet
she had Been in the mirror the reflection
or, as it seemed, the actual figure of
Keppel Darke. As she had sprung to
ward it it had vanished, and she- had
found herself gazing at her own fright
ened eyes in the mirror. What was it?
She had heard of hallucinations, visions,
cerebral impressions there were names
enough; but the more she thought of this
experience of hers the more convinced
' she was that it was real. She had seen
a real substantial figure, and its face was
that of Keppel Darke. But how was that
possible? . Was not Keppel Darke's dead
body found in the railroad wreck, hand
cuffed to the dead body of the police
officer? No matter; this was either Kep
pel Darke or it was some one who ex
actly resembled him. Whichever it was,
the bearing of his appearance to her
would be substantially the same. It could
have been no accident; there was a plan
and a purpose behind. Some power hos
tile to hr wax at wnrV Whj. the count
aware of it? How could he but be aware
of it? Then he was her enemy her deadly
enemy! And he had invited her here,
and had placed her in that room, with
the premeditated design of Well, of
what? Of giving her a scare? No, not
that. Of giving her warning of battle
throwing down the gauntlet? Hardly
that, either.
"It is no use my trying to fathom his
motives yet," said Sallie to herself. "I
must wait and watch. Perhaps he meant
only to try an experiment on me; he has
some problem to solve, and would test
it by my behavior. But what concern
has he with Keppel Darke? What is the
object of Keppel Darke himself if what
I saw was really he? Count de Lisle
would be a powerful friend and a ter
rible enemy! There is almost nothing
that a man of his resources could not ac
complish. Yes, and cannot I, too, ac
complish something? Have not women
no more beautiful or clever than I work
ed miracles before now? And after all,
I have nothing to fear. Keppel Darke
may come back from the grave if he
will, but Harry Trent will not And
even if he did "So glad to see
you, Mrs. Vanderdonde!" "Great pleas
ure, Miss Fitz-Murray!" "Your wife
unwell? What a pity, Mr. Roylancel'
"Yes, like a fairy palace."
For, all the while that Sallie was de
bating a matter of vital interest to her
self, she had been standing near the en
trance to the drawing room, with Count
de Lisle on her left hand, receiving and
exchanging amenities with one group or
individual after another of arriving
guests. Everybody knows how readily
this duality of nature develops itself
when any powerful impression is work
ing on the mind. The soul so seldom
has any part in the farrago of conven
tional and automatic things that we
daily say and do, that when by chance
it is aroused it can attend to its affair
without being in -the least disturbed by
the din of external things. Sallie. ao
cordingly, smiled and chatted fully as
well as usual, while her real thoughts
were ranging- to and fro through the
past, and questioning the future in a
manner that those, who saw her standing
there in the soft light, glowing and
sparkling, would have been astonished
to even suspect. . -
Civilization seldom can show a fairer
scene than lay before Sallie's eyes that
evening. The guests seemed to have done
their best to render themselves harmo
nious with their environment. The beau
tiful girls were never so beautiful be
fore; the women with taste in dress were
never so tastefully dressed as this night;
the women with jewels never before so
shone and glittered. As for the men,
they could not array themselves in silks
and satins, as they might have done a
-hundred years earlier, but they made up
for their plain black and white by wit
and good humor. - Everybody was feel
ing interested. There had from the first
been curiosity to see how the count
would manage his entertainment, and
this curiosity had now taken on a deeper
and livelier tone. The company felt that
it was going to pass an evening that it
would remember, and that whatever ex
pectations might be aroused, the count
was quite able to surpass them without
much exerting himself . Everything went
forward easily and without hitch, and
the count was the most unconcerned
and care free person in the house. He
never gave an order, or seemed to have
a thought save of pleasure at the pleas
ure of his guests. His bearing was pro
nounced perfect by the best critics pres
ent and some formidable ones were
there and in addition he appeared far
more genial and conversable than here
tofore. Evidently he was one of those
characters that develop upon acquaint
ance. The ladies soon fell in love with
him; his house was so nice; he was so
nice, and so inconceivably rich. The
men all liked him none the less. It is
not difficult to like a man who enter
tains you so charmingly and courteous
ly, and who, as far aa society is con
cerned, is simply an inexhaustible mine
of eniovments. ;

Sensitive Because of Her Age.
Many persons show so strange a sensi
tiveness to the question of age that their,
friends may well avoid the entire subject
When Mrs. S. C. Hall was at least 70 years
old, she met at a reception a young clergy
man who was apparently delighted to see
her.
"Mrs. Hall," said he, "I remember read
ing your books when I was a child, and
that I was especially charmed by the Irish
stories."
"Then, sir," flashed Mrs. HalL "if you
read my books when you were a child, you
ought to know better than to say so."
The mother of Julia Kavanaugh was a
woman of great intellectual power and un
usual force of character, but even when
she was 80 years old she was ashamed of
her age. '
One day she went with her French maid
to the cemetery at Nice to visit the tomb
she had erected to her daughter. The two
were standing before the stone when the
maid innocently read the inscription. Ju
lia Kavanaugh had then been dead seven
years, and her age, 64, was of course re
corded. -
"Madam must be very old," remarked
the maid.'
"Old I" exclaimed Mrs. Kavanaugh.
Why should I be old? What do you know
about my age?"
"Mademoiselle was 64 when she died,"
continued the girl, "and she has been dead
some time. Therefore madam must be
very old.'' . ..
Mrs. Kavanaugh said nothing, but next
day she sent a mason to the cemetery and

, . UTES A STORY.
How Fred Taylor, a Member of the
Gallant 189th N. T., T. I., Finally
Found What He Has Sought Since
the War Closed.
From the Ashtabula, Ohio, Beacon. -
Mr. Fred Taylor was born and
brought up near Elmira, N. Y., and
from tnere enlisted in the 189th 'regi
ment, N. Y. V. L, with which he went
through the war, and saw much hard
service. Owing to exposure and hard
ships during the service, Mr. Taylor
contracted - chronic diarrhoea from
which he has suffered . now over thirty
years, with absolutely no help from
physicians. By nature he was a Won
derfully vigorous man. Had he not
been, his disease and the experiments
of the dcotors had killed him long
ago. Laudanum was the only thing
which afforded him relief. He had ter
rible headaches, his nerves were shat
tered, he could not sleep an hour a day
on an average, and he was reduced' to a
skeleton. A year ago he and his wife
sought relief in a change of ? climate
and removed to Geneva, O., but, the
change in health came not Finally
on the recommendation of F. J.
Hoffner, the leading "druggist of Gen
eva, who was cognizant of similar
cases whioh Pink Pills had cured, Mr.
Taylor was persuaded to try a box.
"As a drowning man grasps a straw so
I took the pills," says Mr. Taylor, "but
with no more hope of rescue. But
after thirty years of suffering and
fruitless search for relief I at last
found it in Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
The day after I took the first pills I
commenced to feel better and when I
had taken the first box I was in fact a
new man." That was two months
ago. Mr. Taylor has since taken more
of the pills and his progress is steady
and he has the utmost confidence in
them. He has regained full control of
his nerves and sleeps as well as in his
youth. Color is coming back to his
parched veins and he is gaining flesh
and strength rapidly. He is now able
to do considerable outdoor work.
As he concluded narrating his suffer
ings, experience and cure to a Beaoon
reporter, Mrs. Taylor, who has been
his faithful helpmeet these many
years, said she wished to add her testi
mony in favor of Pink Pills. "To the
pills alone is due the credit of raising
Mr. Taylor from a helpless invalid to
the man he is today," said Mrs. Tay
lor. Both Mr. and Mrs. Taylor cannot
gnd words to express the gratitude they
feel or recommend too highly Pink
Pills to suffering humanity. Any in
quiries addressed to them at Geneva,
O., regarding Mr. Taylor's case they
will cheerfully answer as. they are
anxious that the whole world shall
know what Pink Pills have done for
them and that suffering humanity may
be benefited thereby.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
all druggists, or may be had by mail
from Dr. Williams' Medioine Com
pany, Schnectady, N. Y., for 50 cents
per box, or six boxes lor $2.60.

only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the

When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor

TIME AND TIDE.
"Time and tide wait for no man," saith
the adage but -there are many other
things of the non-waiting kind which will
not be put off and ought not to be. Half
the misery of the world is caused by delay,
and Rheumatism is one of those insidious
ills whioh demands prompt . attention,
especially in mid-winter, when the cold
accelerates its action and intensifies pain.
If allowed to have its way. it will wait for
no man in its rapid development ot the
chronic stage. When this is reached, then
come troubles, not only in its misery but
in many ways where a helpless condition
throws the sufferer out of work and money.
But whether in its acute, chronic or in
flammatory stage, don't wait. The tide of
pain will go on and so. will loss of time.
At the same time we all know that St.
Jacobs Oil is made and sold for the ex
press purpose of curing the worst cases in
their worst form at anv staee. It has
cured and will cure in nine cases out of ten.
