IIERR STEINHAKDT'S NEMESIS. 1
BY I. NIACLAREN COBBAN.
CHAPTER IX Continued.
"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-
- ;

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.

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.

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

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

girl. Again she threatened to divorce,
