"Oil," said she in a territied voice, "Mr. Steinhardt looked terrible! He asked me if I had written tellintr some one to a?k such questions. I answered at once, 'No; but Mr. L'nwin has.' I wish I had not said that ; for he said at once, 'Oh; l'nwin; I'll make short work of him.' So, pleae! do be care ful! I could see in his eyes how cruel he miirht be. 1 said, 'Surely there is no harm in trying to find out what has n become of my poor father?' 'Oh, said he, 'no harm at all none at all and went away." I could not but regret this very much It was, therefore, with some anxiety j that I received and accepted an invita-1 tion to an interview I had almost eaid, a collision with Steinhardt that evening at seven o'clock in the labora tory of the Chemical Works. I had never yet been within the mysterious, tainted precincts, and it was with some thing of a shudder that I asked myself why he should have invited me to call upon him there, and at an hour when probably there would be no one in the place except himself and the watch man. I went, however, with the stern est courage I could summon. I cannot describe the laboratory, for I clearly saw only Steinhardt, red as a Mephistopheles; all else w$s a jumble of retorts, taps, tubs of raw color and what not. He was very civil. "I asked you to come and see me here, Mr. Unwin," he began, "because 1 am watching an experiment which 1 cannot leave, and I wanted to see you at once. You have not taken my word for it that Miss Lacroix is not for you; you have been seeing her at times ami places when you should not." He paused and looked at me, as if expecting me to say something. I was siient, and he went on, 'Miss Lacroix is not a girl to be' the wife of a clergyman who has his way to make; she is beautiful, I know, but she has no money nothing to speak of. Your time here will be up in another week or so; you have been trying to get a place near here, but you cannot; it will not do to stay about in this neighborhood. I will help you to get a good plaie in the south a living of your own I know where I can, and you must go away tomorrow. There is a cheque I have written for your quar ter's salary." "I am sorry, Mr. Steinhardt," said I, "I cannot go away tomorrow; and I cannot promise to leave the neighbor hood." "Oh; you cannot. Think again: if you do not go, I must send away mv family." "My mind is quite made up," said 1. "It is? Very well." He rose, as it" to end the interview, and I rose also. You had better take the cheque," said he, pushing it toward nie; "it is al most due, and I shall not want to see you again." I took it, and was going. Involun tarily I glanced about for any vat or vessel which I could think of as that which had figured in Dick's confession. He seemed to notice my curious glances. "You have never been in here be fore," said he. "That is the most in teresting place" pointing to a small door "would you like to look in? I call it the Experiment Bath." I said I would ; and my heart beat wildly. "Y'ou must let me tie up your mouth and nose then," he said, taking some kind of mufller from a drawer. I wondered whether this were the place, and whether lie was going to show it me out of bravado, or whether he was quite unconscious of my suspi cion. I determined to go through with it. I was muftled.and he muffled him self. He opened the door; anil I saw a small chamber, filled with purplish led vapor, in which a gas jet burned dully, and with an unwonted tint. "Enter," said he. I entered, and he followed. "This," said he, raising a lid by ome arrangement, "is mv experi ment." Vapor rose more densely from the vessel, whose outlines I could not dis cern. I felt stifled ; I gasped for breath. I tugged at the mufller;. I could not help it. I reeled; I felt his hand on me whether to snatch or to push me I cannot now say but I thought then the former; with a vio lent effort I recovered myself and turned at once to look at him, and saw great heavens! the very counterpart on the wall behind him of that shadow, with head and hands outstretched, which Dick's delirious figure had cast, only vaguer, because of the vapor! "What! Again!" I involuntarily cried, and dashed fiom the chamber. I had to sit down to recover myself; I tremb'ed violently. I thought, when he undid his mufller, he looked paler, and more open-eyed. Did he suspect now my suspicion? "It is very risky, you see," he said, calmly enough, but with a very keen look, that longed, no doubt, to read me, "very lisky to enter my bath!" I said not a word, but after a moment or two rose with a "Good-night," and wnet out into the air. Had he intended to suffocate me? Thinking calmly of the adventure now I do not think so. I think the danger I escaped was altogether owing to my own rashness and foil v. CHATTER X. I was scarcely surprised when next day I received a hurried note from Louise. They were all going away at once, she said all except Mr. Stein- - ; fp mi i hardt. He had come home late, and tolil them they must pack that night, to lie ready to set off in the morn in: to the seaside somewhere where she did not know yet, but she would write to me as soon as she had an address to give, so that I miht send her any news. How I treasured that little note! It was the tir.-t bit of writing. I had had from her; and I read it aain and again that day, and tor many days, and tried to conjure a hidden meaning, i,,,,,, toUt.n tenderness or con corn out of its ordinary words. A strange feeling of being alone, and for saken, seized me a foolish feeling, which I could not shake off for some days. I looked in upon old Jacques, as usual. He had been recovering him self since I had seen him first; at least, regaining a consciousness of his own existence, and of the existence of things about him. I thought that day I could see a something in his eyes and in the tw itching of his mouth, which told that he missed the presence of his niece. He gazed at me long and keen ly, till I felt rather disconcerted, looked down at his hands (the fingers of the right hand trembled a little), and ut tered some guttural sounds, as if in an effort to articulate. I talked to hiru a little, though I was not sure he could hear me; or, hearing, could under stand; I told him his niece had gone away to the seaside; I hoped it would do her good, tor she had been in a very anxious state of mind since her father's loss. It gave myself some relief to speak these things. When I rose to go away, he looked me shrewdly up anil down, and watched me to the door. A week or two passed before 1 saw him again. lv Hmii w;i t:iL-en nn tvith nttoiint to provide a post for myself against the day when I should leave that at Titn- perley. Under ordinary circumstances I would have taken the opportunity of ti'.e season of the year, and such a junc ture in my affairs, to spend a holiday among my friends; but I was now con vinced the mystery I was pledged to clear up was in Timperley, and 1 was resolved to sit down and besiege it there the more j obstinately resolved, since I knew Steinhardt so heartily wished me away. I wrote letters; I made journeys to this vicar and that rector in the neigh boyhood, who then needed, or soon would need, a curate, with the same result in all eases. I would not do; I was not just the kind of man they wanted; they were not sure that my opinions were quite as they would wish the opinions of their curate to be. It became plain to me that I was to be "boycotted:" the word had been passed round, apparently and by whom, if not by Steinhardt? Again and again I tried, though with little hope now, to find a curacy even in the neighboring large town ; but nothing came of my efforts except dis appointment, and weariness, and dis gust. My time was up in Timperley, but I still retained my lodgings there (they were cheap and comfortable); I held them like an outwork advanced against the enemy's position. The situation was, indeed, becoming like a duel between Steinhardt and me, in which, for the time, he certainly had the best of it. My anxiety was not lessened by the fact that in the three weeks which had passed I had not heard a word from Louise, and did not know what had happened to her, or even where she was. I finally went to the girl whom I had seen Frank with, and from her I found out that he had written from an address (which she gave me) in Doug las in the Isle of Man. At the end of another week, not having recieved any reply to a note I had written to Louise, I confess I was tempted with weak thoughts of giving the whole matter up, of surrendering my position to Steinhardt, and going away. I was earning no money, and my quarter's stipend of 22 pounds 10 shillings was rapidly disappearing. What could I do, when it was all gone, but surren der? I am not ashamed to confess that, oftener than once, I was lctrayed into an unmanly prostration of disap pointment of despair, I may even say and grief. But remember that I was desperately in love (I suppose a clergy man may be as desperately in love as another man) with a young lady, who might be dead, or diyng, or maried, for aught I know; that I was sojourn ing, so to say, in a strange land, whose chief was bitterly hostile to me; that the affair uon which I had staked my success in love had not advanced an inch during -those long and lonely weeks. I do verily believe that, in spite of the conviction which usually sustained me of the final revealation of the truth in spite, too, of the obstinacy of my nature, and the high reward of success which I had hoped to gain, I would, indeed, have soon beat a retreat, if it had not been for a visit I had from my old friend Iiirley, and the results that immediately followed upon that. One evening I heard a loud, cheery voice there was no mistaking ask my landlady, "Is th' parson at whoam, Letty" a question which I answered myself by calling, "Come upstairs." "Well," said he, "you haven't come to see nie since I've come back" (he had been ill, and absent from home tor some weeks) "so I ha' looked you up." I said I was very pleased indeed to see him (he looked riiuch older and greyer than when I had seen him last, poor old gentleman). "Now I've come," he continued, "to ha' a bit of serious talk with you, niy nd that I'd do all for you that a broken old chap can do; but there'i no wim', tha knows, and no policy in sticking here wi' nought to do not even courting. You love a lass, and, of pournt', naturally, hang about her; but, 'tloiu - u take it, lad, what do you expect to pet by hanging about the place when have trod eh? Come now, lad, let's talk the thing out; we cant' ha' the folk about here that used to think so much of you getting to look at you as a sort o' harmless luney." "There is at least one person in the village," said I, somewhat nettled, "that does not believe me harmless, whether he thinks me a lunatic or not." "Well," said he, "you munna be offended at my saying that." "Xo, certainly," said I. "If there is one man who could never offend me, it is you, Mr. Birley. But, when I think of it, I am not surprised that people should begin to look upon me as a maniac, since nobody but myself knows altogether what I keep staying here for." "Ah, well, of course," said he, look ing mystified, "but talking on at a venture, according to his wont, "you know your own affairs best but you think nobody else knows this alto gether. We'll. I daresay " "I daresay," said I, interrupting him, "I am a monomaniac." The im pulse siezed me to take him into my confidence; I felt it would relieve and cheer nie to talk to him about the mat ters that occupied my thought so much; he must know them sooner or later, and, by knowing them at that juncture he might give me a useful hint. "Per haps," said I, "you will think me mad if 1 tell you what really keeps me here. It is not, as you imaigne, that I am in love with your ward, or with the ground she has walked on; I don't deny that I am in that condition but it is not that keeps nie here. I wish to tell you what it is, but you must promise me to keep it locked up in yourself." "Nay, lad, if it's some very private affair of vour own, do not tell nie." "But," said I, "it is no private affair of my own; indeed, it concerns you at least quite as much as me; and I think, perhaps, vou might help nie a little on ! it." " j I then related my story, point by i point, not even omitting mention of: Louise's repeated dream, or of my ow n j recent adventure in the chemical ! works. The effect my story had on him caused me great anxiety. Being, by nature, more of a talker than a list ener, he could not refrain, at first, from breaking in now and then with a "To he sure," a "Just so," or an "Ah, yes there you are;" but as the point of the story took hold of him, his talking instinct took vent in occasional grunts, while he became paler and paler, and more and more moved. He did not for a moment doubt that my suspicions pointed to the truth; he adopttd them at once, and was en need that he had not formed them for himself before. "Stupid old idiot," he exclaimed, "that I was, not to ha' guessed afore that 'Manuel would stick at nothing to get Paul eaten completely up! And Paul was a hot temper, and, if he had words wi' 'Manner, there would be th devil to' settle! And, of course, Paul was likely to come home unexpected, to catch 'Manuel on th' hop, so to say, wi' that confounded patent again! Lord, Lord! if I had only thought of all that a year ago, it might ha' been easier to clean it up! Well, now, what can we do eh? what can we do?" I answered that I had been striving for weeks to discover what next to do but I had not yet discovered it. I was anxious, too, new, 1 said, about Louise. "Oh," said he, "I expect she's all right with my sister, in th' Isle of Man." "I think," said I, "it's rash ever to expect that anything is altogether right that Steinhardt is concerned in." "True for you, lad," said he. "Besides,"! continued, "she prom ised to write to me, and she has not written; a week or more ago, when I found out the Douglas address, I wrots and asked her to send me only a line to allay my anxiety but I have had none." He looked very grave. (To be continued.) For tier Special Benefit Lady Butler is probably the only English artist for whose sole benefit a cavalry charge was ordered. When she was painting her stirring picture, "Scotland Forever," she one day ex piessed a regret that she bad "never seen a body of cavalry in the act of charging, with the result that a gen eral in who-e hearing she had spoken, arranged that a iharge should take place for her special benefit.

No one knows what the Admir'nlty has accomplished, but it is certain that soon the world s greatest navy will be greatly re-enforced by vessels of the new type. THE LATE SOL SMITH RUSSELL. Quaint Actor Whose Ploy Were Pure and Hi Work Artistic. The stage has lost one of its noblest characters nnd most charming players hv the death of Sol Smith Russell. He possessed rare tal ent and there was a peculiarity In his style which was dis tinctively his own. Soinnllcltv and gen- S 'J 1 1 e n e a s were the .'a .... qualities he delight ed In portraying nnd none would suspect that his quaiutness of manner was any thing but natural. So diligently had he cultivated it. that his extremely a r 1 1 8 tie style had till the ap pea ranee of natural ness. He could move o laughter or to tears with equal fa cllity by the humor s. s. livs.sici.i.. or the pathos of his j work and from thousands oi mums tne delightful memory of his impersona- lions can never be erased. Sol Smith Russell was born nt Bruns wick, Me., in ISIS, nnd was a mere child when his parents went to St. Louis. From there, when the war broke out, he went to the front as a drum mer boy. lie left the army In ISiH to play the drum In a theater at Cairo, 111., nnd thence he went on the stage, sing ing, delivering monologues and playing on various Instruments. Low comedy parts were then not unsulted to his taste. He appeared with the Berger Company of bell ringers and later got into one of Augustin Italy's companies, His career as n star began In "Edge wood Folks" in 1S.S0, In which he ap peared 1,500 times and laid the founda tion of enduring success. Other plays followed, but It was not until he ap peared in "A Poor Relation" that he again made a great hit. "Peaceful Val ley" and "April Weather," as well as In "An American" and "A Bachelor's Romance," subsequent plays, he amused his old friends throughout the country. Everywhere he went he was received by nn admiring public which recognized him ns an artist, save in New York. There he was never able to make a favorable Impression. But he needed not that city's indorsement to achieve success and his estate of more than ?2,000,)00 Is evidence that metro politan approval Is not absolutely nec essary for nn actor's welfare. Much of this money was gained by successful speculation In real estate, but the re ceipts of his performances were the basis of his fortune. Since 1S'J9 he had been unable to net. His memory failed him while engaged In a performance at Chicago nnd he was unable to go on with his part. Since then he had lived quietly nt Washington, where he died. With him were his wife, who wns a daughter of William T. Adams (Oliver Optic), and his daughter, Miss L. Alice Russell. Ho leaves another child a son, Rob ert E. Russell, of Minneapolis. DIVORCE IN TURKEY. Nothing Could He Kaaier-Some Hccent Humorous Canes. Divorce is very easy In Turkey, nnd does not require -a judge and jiiry to settle matters, says the London Dally Telegraph. All thnt is necessary is for the Injured party to say, "I divorce you," three times, and the deed Is done. The husband has to make the wife i proper allowance, and all Is over. Two cases Have recently occurred which are rather amusing. A certain Turkish gen tlemnn is a keen amateur gardener, nnd his garden contains nt all seasons a brilliant show of (lowers, to which he devotes most of his time rather to the disgust of his wife, who Is never allow ed to cut them. Recently his cbrvsnn. themums were In the height of their glory wlien a tremendous downpour of rain came on. This threatened to de- saroy the magnificent blooms, ninny of which were equal In size to the best re sults attained in England. Seeing the danger, the gentleman called nil his servants and set to work to enrry the pots into the house and nrrange them up both sides of the staircase. When they had finished the lady suddenly np peared nnd fell Into violent rnge, de- i.li,f-1nrr tlint hop hualian - ' "ioukiu more of his flowers than of her by bringing eurth Into the house. Nothing would appense her; she said he was detllinp her house by bringing dirt In, nnd she wouiu divorce mm. Slie sent for her sis ter to come and be a witness of the di it lliii DEPTHS. vorce, and setting to work with her women bundled all the flowers out again. When the sister arrived, how ever, matters were settled up, and the divorce did not take place. On another occasion the same lady sent her small boy down to brenkfnst In a pink shirt nnd a green tie. The father wns shocked nt this barbarous combination, and ninde a remark to the English governess, who sent the child back to change his tie. But down came the lady of the house In a furious rage, saying she knew how to dress the child: that pink shirt nnd n green tie wns the best of taste, nnd she would not re main to be insulted by his giving pref erence to the opinions of nn English girl. Again she threatened to divorce, but ngaln It fell through, ns the hus band could not find the !?:!.HH) he would have had to pay her. until her wrath cooled down.
