During ihe Journey to San Paola on

HtiU lVrry ltr and ascertain what
that you;if man know alwut tlio many
transaction which had taken placo bo
lmn Vilaifi and Orandall.
.Nitnollnu's tlio young Hn?llliman
jjot very communlcatlvo (or ho wns
naturally a Jrw pn-hearUl sort of a
fi'lluw, not mort than twonty-mmm
years of ae, or tlicrcnlwutit.
Wilcox IlkcH him to wull that ho
nskod l.ovt'1 to glvo him a llttloof his
history. Haiti l.ovol: "If 1 toll you my
history you may not think to woll of
me nftoryou hear It as you do now."
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. I played the raeoi, gamblis!
and knocked around from ono job to
another and altoKi'tner led a llohomtan
life. Hut I feel llko olKrliig up now;
It isn't necessary for a fellow tobonv.ttf
iib.mil all hit life, and I'm ready for thu
i-hango. i Un't mnro than throe weoltN
rtlnen I handtod tho chiM for tho last
time, hut I have done s itli it for keeps,
lty tho way, the very last gaum I sat
down U In the same room that Villas
ijues froiiuenlodand he-dropped ovor flvo
thousand dollars that night. It was thu
laino evening he sold tho mining .stock.
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. I
nm H.ifr in i n.;.i,'..i juii lur an unlimit
ed p re .!; t.e iUiy iiiestlon wo can

a jn l.il manner.
"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"." Vot
throui;h ull his ups and downs ho was
nonchalant, easy tempered nml cool as
nn loed cuciiniU'r. Alwaysjio could
II iid time to part his hatr In tho rlht
place, no matter If the house was on
lire; br.t he could also l rolled upon
to re: i'Ii the outside safely. And no
matter where r lew dit ho would
sink in life's turbulent waters, he in
variably came to the top aifain smilini,'.

Into frandall & tU's olttco, and from
there, nk we hnvo wen, to his present
iKMdtluu. 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

now entirely confident that Velasijui'
had murdered lkdaro, hut ho was not

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

lint lUere was 11 tumult of excitement
wtien I'n.-cy IS.Mufurt I.ovel had beoli

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

The Judtfo was just sutti;ostln tl.c

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

liouuty sho seemisl to hnvo inherited
also tho sweet dlsosllloii of lu r mother,
togothur with tho frank opeii-hoartud-1
1 o of hur falhur.
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

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

saying: "You will pardon mo, 1 know,
Mr. Itlodger, liocauso you hare come

think that 'Seething, IntUltu.- ' im' re

"Then," said Mr. Itlodger, as he com
pletiil tie lint ntania, "I think thai

"Very," said Armlda uud her mother
in unison; but wuctiior tuey w.ru in

they gave their assent.
"You did not know that I nm also a

lllodgor.
' Indood I did noL Hut 1 am really

"Well, I enn not exactly lo oallml a

tluientally Mctlcal, mid again at other
times 1 am nfrald my crude elforts are

equally unpleasant. However, I write
my verses nnd leave my friends to Judge

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. So lu
a dear, sweet voice. In which the slight
