Oh, I Jam say, llko most young uinn who drift to Krlsco, you hnvo lod a kinder wild life, but it la ovldont you worn prinHsl with a pretty good uduca tlon Iwforo you startl In on It," waa tho response. "Vcs," said the Ktijrllshm.wi, "I sup jmiho that's o, and Mnen I lft Oxford I iiavo aeon life through the 1,-nli'ldoscopo of many promlseuous journey Inifs. 1 left home UifoM I m twenty, itl through n itochI pile of money in Paris and llrus srls and then suddenly found myself" In New York.

He often used to como to that dim, and some of the boys there ltnow a (food deal about him, hut I Very much ijuos tlon whether any of thum would toll you much." '(Hid," remarked Level's nowly found friend, "I'm (lad to hear that your are ll rist of your wild life, and, what's more, I liellevo you. So from now on you will please consider yoursulf jiriat5 secretary to .tool Wlliiox. I never di I put on airs before, hut I Knew I ain't too old to begin. Is It a Bo?" "Why, you astonish me. Mr. Wilcox; .hut I will try to desorvo your confi dence." "All ritfhi: I count myself a pretty j;ood jUd'T- ( a man when 1 mo one. and I think tli.it so far as 1 am concerned.

"Hut what," ho continued, "wns that you said about VeUstjuer U'inu known liy the Ix.ys ill tho Katiiklliir house?" 1'erv.y then reioated what ho had al ready rocountod, and Mr. Wilcox said, ttiat the kuowlodo mlht bo useful In hunting down the rascal. t , As lioth Mr. Wlh-ox and tlio Knullshl man were (foal talkers tho oonversatloi was kept up In a lively manner, and Ik was mil lonff lieforo Wilcox knew al, about 1'crcy from his childhood up. As the train pulled up at San I'.ioli Mr. Wilcox said: "Ah! I K''. ') I"' you've lKen more of a fool tlian an In tet.lional scamp." The remark was full of truth, for IViey Iivcl was never really bad, only one of those lads so especially common nmonjr the Utter I'.nirlUh classes who lierome utU'rly reckless in tho eaitor pursiiit of "folly as It 111"."

And this last muo was to (ilittliffo the whole course of his life. When doal Wilcox wont to hod that nlifhtho Jilt wrUln that Anton Key man's roleae was near nt hand. Ho was now entirely confident that Velasijui' had murdered lkdaro, hut ho was not the man i." act rashly or with unduu haste. , , , S , 1.. en.' iud' d te leep on his reiH'tlt dl-ei,i rie-i, 2nd make dlsdosures later. Next morning he and I'crey Ixivet itartiil oter to ei Mr. IVlartK Sho mo', them at tho door and said "Oh! Mr. Wilcox, I'm so (jlad you hae come, .sorietlitnir ol ftrttai Itnportanco 'hat transplretl." They walked Into tho hows ami Into tho library, whoro Mr. Wilcox was as tonished to mm one of tho workmen from tho cellars seated. The door was closod, hut, at Mr. Wilcox's rtuest, IajvoI was allowed to remain In tho room. "This man," said the unhappy widow, "has brought something bore which will probably prove Uiyoml a doubt who It wax that killed my dear huslwnd. Yesterday ono of this man's boys was bathing In tho stream which flows nt the root of tho hill yonder," said tho lady, pointing from tho window ns she spoke, "and, In divine to I'lck ohjocW from the mud In tho lxittom of tho river, found this weapon." Hero Mrs. Dolaro produced an Ivory bandlisl stiletto uhi the hnndln of which wascurod the Initials "I V." "(Iroat Kims," exclaltnud Wilcox, "wo shall prove that snako k'11'"' soon er than I oxpected." Then a loni; conversation nnsut-d and the workman was asked to re)at Ills story to Wilcox, and s) much onrosMid did ovcrylHHly Imh-oiiui In tho recitation that In the exciloineiit of tho hour It wai foruotton that l.uwd had not Ismhi Introilucod. Hut Mr. Wilcox sM)n madu nmonds for his forueltuliiess and told Mrs. Dolaro of tho value of bin nowly-forinod acquaintance. There was much to be said atioitt tho new clew nnd Vclasiuex's former his tory, and I'urcy uurtnodup and Iwcamo almost outhusiustlc mer his prospocttvo work. Thoy discussed how every thing should Imi nrranitcd. On tho morrow they proiKMo'd to (fo to tho lawyer at Santa Uos.i. and Inform him of tho now luvelopmeutM. '1 bey supposi-d naturally that Volas (ii( had little bloa of his crime IioIiib discovered so soon, If ever, and that he was probably on tils way Kail. So they did not raise a hue and cry at oneo but decided that It would bo far wiser, and more prudent, to be sure they woro tight before koIuk ahead. Tho next day they all starltsl for tjanta liosa, the county seat, whom the trial was to lie held, and Wilcox was at last full of ItopO that tho unfortunate Anton would s-hui bo reloased. A consultation was held with the law ytirs. but they did not deem it wise to take steps to Gocnro a warrant for Velasquez's arreit; they advised wall lii until after the trial of Anton Key man. The trial was set for ten days later, and al that time nearly every adult In habitant of San l'noln was at .Santa Kosa. The witnesses who had anpoared be fore tho coroner hnd tho (fraud Jury were again calhil, and diirllif the II r I part of tho prtK-eedla( there was only a rojicUllon of the former 1,0. ii 'J at tho lnue:.t, no nnwiliaclosur,jli.!la(rnru.. lint lUere was 11 tumult of excitement wtien I'n.-cy IS.Mufurt I.ovel had beoli called and his teitliuony talon. What ho said . furnished unexpectenl dett lepinent to all except the pilncl na'.s '.11 tho drama, and created not only durprise but Intense indltfimUun i,mon the K'iplo. Then the hoy who had found the all lotto was callisl and examined. Tut v.eapiin was pnsluced and the s i vuuts of tuo Deluro honsohold were called to tust.fy that they had seen the weapon -ii-vera I timos lylliK on tlio hutvaii in Mr. Vela(iiOi's room. Other witnesses followed, who bpok. In Blowing terms of Anion's character, and then the judgo comni'-uced t charge the Jury. He told them lhr.t Hi.

The yuuMK fellow had noticed that the point of the weapon was broken Only uu extremely small fragment f the p-dnt was mlsslny, but it .a largi ouoiltrh to ln Ilell.'rtl. lie hnudeil the dagger to tho lawyer for tho defense and drew his attention to the fact. Tie lawyer understood its puriort in a mo ment. In a rather rudo and hasty muiilier, hut t.uch us tho invasion demanded, he culled upon tho judtfo to desist in In. summing up, and asked that further evidence be taken. The judjfo. who was strictly 1 111 par llal, remarked that in such a case it woi hnnlly possible Hint so blunt a poiu1 could have penetrated tho dead man' lody as duoply as Dclnro's wound, hu that this was n mattor worthy thu ut most consideration of thu jury. "Yes. Indued it Is, jour honor," said tho lawyer for the defense; "but per mit mo to suiriresl that measures bo at unco taken to Hnd tho point of tlil wuaisiu lioforu this mini Knyman Is uu Justly oouvlctod.

"It seems hardly credible that It would have broken oil Inside of the body.' simgestixl the judge; "wo van conuult some proessloiwl ndvlco on tho mat ter." "Then tho Ust man to xct that ud vice from It Jool Wtloo," was th law yer's reply.

"Then tho liody shall lie evhumml and the ph-ee of utcel sought for," said the jn.lfr.'. Whereupon the court ml J'liirnrsl until the follow nj day.

It was a ll.Tht-heartisl nnd yet a and paity that went Kick to San I'aola that night, for few of them had yet forgot ten the iwiuoryof tholr lost friend.

Motlier nnd daughter wero sitting In a prlvato parlor forming one of their suite of rooms at tho West Knd Hotel, I.jng Ilranch, whom they had lieen sooudliig the summer. It w-as only dur ing the last two years that Mrs. Dclnro had onjoyod much of hor daughter's so ciety, for they had necoisarlly boon thrown very much upnrt owing to thu mother's set determination to personal ly assist in tho search fur her husband's inurderor. This employment, which had kept her traveling all the time, combined with thu fact that A nu Id a had bueu al tending school at n convent near to 1'aris gac them very little opKirtuulty of doing together. Mrs. Dclnro really showed very llltlo slru of the struggles sho had undergone lu her features, though a cIomi oIimtvc r uil;(Ut have noticed a settled and do t rui I uud expression which told with out Iho r.td of words thut sho was a worn 111 living with a puroso. Ami Indued her puroso was stern as over, for as sho sat on this bright Sep touiU r morning talking to her daugh ter, her thoughts were far away with her two staunch friends, duel Wilcox and Percy Iov), who had left her two weeks bo lore to follow up a clow at New 0 leans. They hnd only written twice since tholr ik'iKiriuru, and oven then hul given no particulars, so that she was aukioas and longed to know whether or not thoy woro mooting with success . Often and often had she waltod llko Ibis I eforv, hut her Interest had never flagged, nor hor desire for enge.111ce become les . kavtl When In c.nivera.v lieu with her two 1yul friends 1 he al ;.y 1 i-.pohn hopeful),- ol tho ultimate t.uccem of her life work and h.id (re cjiieutly luiiuir.tod that sho fully ox-S-t e l t.j tee lA'O'l W l.isijuei fco to 1 1 i'Ii f re il '.th ibouid c.ill her to met I lu 1 I111 't'Uiid. Tli V v of one thing sho had tson scrupu lously careful, and that was to hao no wonl regarding her husliand's cruel death uttered lu tho hearing of her daughter. Still, Arnitda knew of the manner In which her father had come tc his sad end. Hut to the girl tho tragic nllilr had never been so real and terrible as to her nicther, and lu recent ye.irii, aa tho wal ler was never referred to lu her preo once, tho whole story, which so much ilfevttsl her entire life, was burled In the obi U U111 of shadowy youthful mem orlos. o Tho ciiiivorsntUm at the opening of this clmit4'r might lead one to Imagine that Aruiida was of a rather peevish temperament, but such was not the case. She ha I justcauso to complain, and was literally bored to death. Sho had been ought after by every unmarried wearer of pttitaloous and suspenders during her stay nt the Ilranch. Kaces onu day, a garden arty the next, then a hall, followed by yachting excursions nnd a hundred other Inventions for killing time. At all such society events, her pres ence was looked upon ns a positive necessity, until at last tho poor girl was almost tlrixl out. No wonder thou that she was anvlous to get itway front It nil and seek that rest In New York which was nlMolutely liupossthlu at a place like l-ong Ilranch. dust ns the concluding words fell from Armlda's llpstliuro was a knock on tho door, which was answered by tho maid, who took a card from tho hctl-hoy and handed It to hur young mistress. Aruiida glanced at It languidly and then turning to hur mother with a pilli ons g.u on her sweet face said: "Another Inlllctlon." "Who Is hero now, my doar?" "That horrid, vulgar Mr. Illodger, who is so fond of saying: 'I, idles, Mr. Stephen Hhslger nt your srvIoj.'" Hero Aruiida roso from her reclining posture and gavo an Imitation of that gentleman's unique stylo of Introducing himself; tliuu turning to her maid she said: "Tell tho Isiy to show him tip." As tho boy went away, something like a gurgling Utter sounded ns If coin ing from that progressive youth. In lest than a 111 1 11 11 to the Ciller was at the pirlor door, which showed that ho must h.ivo waited either outside, or very near the elevator, for ho certainly did not hnvo time to 0011111 from tho olllco. The visitor was a man wulghlugsomo thing lu the neighborhood of two hun dred pounds, and had n face ns round and ns red as tho setting sun on n winter's day. Stop by stop hu had risen from tlio lowest ranks, until ho had llually attained the mighty distinc tion uf bultiga millionaire, said millions having lioen noiulrod by the practical application of tho bcIouuc uf turning tallow Into soap. In his early days ho had known Mr. Wilcox Intimately, and tho acquaintance had recently boon renewed with pleas ure on Isith sldos. I'onsoijiioutly Mrs. Dclnro and her daughter felt It Incum bent umiii them to entertain thogunllo man when ho called. Since converting his soa-bolllng busi ness into a stock company and thou sell ing out his Interest at an enormous profit, Mr. Itlodger had found a great dual of time oil his hands. Ills wife had long since passed to Ibo "hotter laud." and ns ho had no relatives to hamper him he deiot -1 his time pretty much to his own company and that of his llfteen year old boy, who was, at least physical ly, following In his father's footsteps -bidding fair to outrival tho celebrity of tho l'at Hoy In Pickwick. The older lllodgor had, like many of his Ilk, lu these his Wtcrdays of wealth and leisure, turned b s attention to books and study In the fond hope that ho might pass for an educated man in that society toward which his Inclina tions and ambition now led hlui. Thu lesull v, as that smattering of hupcrtli ml kuowlislgo which Is soexceedlugly dun gerous; fur ill his uuguidod search in Hie higher realms of knowledge .Stephen llludgiir hnd nut dimmed It necessary to Improve his grammar, and ns a conao iiionoo his conversation ofl-tlmos em bodied 11 strung" conglomeration of tho classic sciences nnd line arts, dished up In miserably bad Hngllsh. Recently this genius had developed Into it Isiet mid he wns never seen out without his scrap book under his arm, lu which he had pasted his own elforts, written on foolscap in 11 large, round hand, together with numerous choice nieces which he had ulipMd at odd times from tho columns of he Sunday p.iM'rs. As this worthy Individual en tered the parlor be Uiwed low nnd said with it broad smile, precisely as Aruiida had mimicked htm a moment before: "Hood morning ladles; Mr. Stephen lllodgor at your sen ice." The two ladies returned the greeting and the usual every day iiiestious re garding health and the weather having foltuwcd, Mr. Hlodgur drew from the side pocket of a loud-patterned tourist 1 s w "Mil.

Sometimes I really do feel uen tluientally Mctlcal, mid again at other times 1 am nfrald my crude elforts are the result of Indigestion or something equally unpleasant. However, I write my verses nnd leave my friends to Judge of tho propelling power." Armlda passed Into the adjoining room nnd soon returned with a scrap of paper on which were ioiiclleil a few Hues. "Hero," said she, "is something I jot- toil down last night after you left. Shall I read it to you?" And somehow there was a merry twinkle In tho girl's eye, which passed unnoticed, however, by the sedate Hlodgur. "I shall be delighted to hear you do so," wns Mr. Illo Igor's rosHinse.
