Haliette waa 'doing her hett to get through her dntiea, when, ax ill lurk would hare it, memory for a moment asserted iUelf and brought before lii-r a picture of pretty Mack eyed nrrliin limiting from aide to aide iu hiit hiiiuII rot and crying out her iinuie unriMsiiuly a lie refused the cooling drink ollered I.J a h:i ml lie did not love, 'J'lie inuiil ..lilied solihed audilily. MUs Mulling rained her eyes from their coiiteinplHtion of the curpet and locked in ilik'uitied surprise at the young Frenchwoman. Noting for the tirnt time the siiru of teura ou tier face, Miiia Mulling felt angry. "What in heaven's name la the matter with you, Ha !; te 7 I'ray dou't let me have uny weeping and wailing. If there ia one thing that exaxperatea me mure than another, it ia a crying woman. 'Turdon, mademoiselle; the grief over enme me lu spite of myself. I did not intend to apeak; hut, aa you hare noticed my sorrow, I will make bold to tell jtu Wiat I have a little stephrotner, the only being in the world who Is related to me, and 1 have here letter telling uie ha is very ill. and that lie ask for me night anil day night and day." The poor girl'a voice broke fr a moment; but she rallied and went on. "If mademoiselle could spare me for just enough time to get to ltouloKtiu and buck to see the poor little fellow!" "And what am I to do lu the mean time''" 1'uuline asked Icily. "Of course you can go If you like; but you need not come back. I am surprised you ahould auk nie audi nn iiisaue thing, when you know the houie will be full of people the lay after to-morrow, I could not possi bly do without you. I'ray do not any an other word about It, and please leave off crying." Itabette moved away to the far end of the room, wiped her eyes, and stood for an instant quite still, repressing the nob that shook her frame. "If my little Pierre dies without see ing me 1 will never forgive you never! I will watch for a chance of doing you great harm; and it will cum if I am patient," the girl thought., After dressing Miss Mailing and mak ing the dressing room tidy, Itabette pass ed through the picture gallery on her way to Mrs. Perkins' sanctum for her usual cup of tea. Thinking everybody must be downstairs, ane stopped at Jack's easel and looked at Pauline's picture. "So you think the world ia made for your pleasure? You are too high a lady to trouble yourself with your servants' affairs; but perhaps they will trouble . themselves with yours, madame! 1 have seen you Hindi and shrivel up strangely sometimes. People don't shrivel up for nolhiiig, unless they have a fear of some thing; and if they have a secret fear, there must be something bad to cause It. If my little darling dies without the comfort of kissing hia llaliette once, it will be your fault; and all my life long 1 will watch, wutch, watch, to try to repay your cruelty to me and him!" and she looked as if she meant it. Jack, who had stopped until the laat moment finishing his rather dilllcult let ter to Kthel in his own room, was struck by the intense hatred in the womau's face as he opened the door, wondered for Die moment what could have caused it, wished the next that ha could call it up at will and use her as a model for a tieud, anil the next moment forgot all about it. ( Throwing his letter on the hall table, lie hurried Into tue drawing room to make his peace for being late. Itabette bad her quiet cup of tea with Mrs. Perkins, and, with a plentiful shed ding of tears, wrote to the woiuau who had charge of little l'ierre, to asy that she could nut come to her darling just . now. The letter waa full of loving messages and promises, und the poor girl'a heart felt very heavy aa she put it into the bag. She had taken it into the hall her self. There was another letter lying there ready stamped for the post; she took it up carelessly, recognized It by the t I d seal as the one Jack had had in his hand when he passed her iu the gallery, and stood tniiisiued with surprise as she resd the address. "The address of that pretty demoiselle that I followed home from the museum, by her order! Why, there is something lu this! Why, if she wauta the" address of a lady who is known to Monsieur 1 orn ton, does she not ask him, instead of setting me to follow her like a po liceman? 1 shall have that to tind out!" "llaliette, I want you," Mrs. Perkins called from the door that shut oil the aervaulM quarters. Something iu the voice, some subtle touch of sympathy, struck li.ibette's quick esr. She turned so sharply that Mrs. Perkins had not time to conceal the black bordered letter she held in her hand. With a heart rending cry, liabefte started forward and snatched the letter from her. She was a quick, impetuous, unreason Ing and unreasonable creature; she did not atop to consider that she could not have reached the child even If Pauline had given her Instant consent. She re membered enly that her mistress had been cruel to her In the time of her trouble; and she registered a vow that, if there was any secret in Psulipe Mall lug's past life, she would hunt it out and humiliate her. A letter lay by Ethel's plate; but she dnl not touch it. Mr. Mallott. self sh aorbed as ever, did not notice how hU daughter was strtik'k'ling to preserve her usual composure all through the break fast time. Jack lornton hi I not intended to be cruel when he wrot,: but, after destroy ing a dozen sheets of paper ill his desire to lie neither too soft nor too hard, he decided at last that the shorter and plain er he made it the better; and this waa what he had written: "My lear Kthel I should not have had the courage to do aa you have done; but perhaps yon are right aa indeed you always are. For the future will 70a How me to consider myself "Your fit. thfiil friend, "JOHN IiOUNTONr "1 tm glad ao very g'ad I wrote It It would have been dreadful If wt hail married, and Jack had found out that be Out not rare for me afterward. Now I had better destroy that anonymous letter. I thought that perhaps Jack Blight save wished the engagement to The "Wife's Secret, OR A BITTER RECKONING By CHARLOTTE At. BRAEMB 3 3 continue, In which rase I should have sent the letter to liiiu and asked for an explanation." So Kthel went bravely about her home duties, though ber very lips were white with the restraint she was putting on her feelings. She tried with all ber strength of mind she possessed to put ber humiliating grief away from ber. "Why should I sorrow for him if he ran throw me off without on word of regret?" she asked herself, angrily. Still, lu spite of her determination to crush her love under the weight of her self-respect, she now and again felt aa if hur heart would break. She resolute ly denied herself the relief of tears, and suffered far more Intensely lu conse quence. The thrushes and the lively robins and perky sparrows were having a good time of it ou the lawns at the Wigwam that morning. Captain Pelting was fond of these small birus, and liked to see them about the place, and be bad determined to do what he could to tame them dur ing the hard winter weather, ahould be decide to stay on in the Wigwam, which he had taken furnished for six months. He did not take much notice of the little creatures this morning, though, lie waa iu a "brown study." and sat ao motion less on bis comfortable cane chair under the vera 11. la that the more courageous of the birds hopped about within yard of his feet. The fact was Captain Telling was dls a-ppointed. lie bud expected a letter either from Ethel or Mr. Mallett that morning, to aettle their visit on the mor row. Even if they do not care to come,' he told himself, "they might have been Civil enough to aeud some conventional excuse." After awhile it occurred to him that perhaps the Mallets bad written, and that the letter had miscarried and be felt somewhat relieved at the bare idea. He made up his mind that he would go up to town iu any case; and as be went along he would decide upon what course he would pursue. And all through bis vacillation be never once admitted to himself that it was his longing to see Kthel again that had for the moment transformed him Into a human shuttle cock. Notwithstanding a short notice, the phaeton was ready a minute before the appointed time, looking perfect In every detail. Pelting bad the reins In his hand and hia foot ou the atcp, when be noticed telegraph boy coming toward the house, He wailed a moment. Yes, It was for him! From Geoffrey .

And the man of thirty felt a lad again in his light-heartedness, as be sent his handsome bays along the road. CHAPTER X. Jack's love-making went on swim mingly during the lovely summer weath er and among the beauties of Mailing ford. The house was full of visitors now, and, iu accordance with Pauline's wishes, their engagement was kept strict ly private. Still, in spite of all their care, the state of affairs waa pretty shrewdly guessed Vt by most of the peo ple about them, and the well-bred guests wondered immensely at Miss Mailing's sudden fit of unworldllness. Strangely enough, IU bette, with all her sharpness, waa one of. the last to hear of her mis tress' Infatuation for the "artist chap," aa he was scornfully described among the servants; but the moment she did hear of It she began wondering and watching un til In her own mind she was aure that Miss Mailing waa really deeply In love with this good-looking Mr. Dorntnn. Itabette liked Jack, and, knowing, as she believed she did, the evil of Pauline's heart, she waa sorry to think that auch an altogether too charming yonug man should be ao thrown way. So Itabette was alwaya on the watch for aome clew that would help her to discover her young mistress' secret; and at this time she showed great Interest in Mrs. Perkins' gossip about the family hoping to glean some scrap of Informa tion that might be of use to her In fur thering her revengeful purpose. "And If mademoiselle had married against the wishes of Milord Summers, or without his consent, she would have lost the whole estate?" she asked, one evening In Augu.-t, a ahe sipped her tea leisurely. "Yes, If she did so before she was twenty-five; but after her twenty-fifth birthday she win be free to marry whom soever she pleases; and, as she will be twenty-five on the seventeenth of next month, there ia not much chauce of her sacrificing the estate at this late day, after waiting until now." "That Is so," observed Babette, with a disappointed air. She reflected fur a fpw moments, and a flash of intelligence crossed her face as she asked. "And if mademoiselle bad married In her ex; tretne youth before she was known as the heiress of the property how then?" "I think she would lose everything." "Who would have it after her?" "Sir (ieofTrey, the late baronet's brother." "To be sure! It must have been a great blow to him when he found himself rob bed of everything by his brother's In justice. What did he do? Where did he go ?" "I don't know. He is as proud aa ahy of the family, and, when bis brother told him never to come near the place again, he put on his hat without one word, and walked away with his head aa hlirh as if he were the heir of thousands. We've never seen a sight of him since thst day, and It's my belief we jiever shall." Itabette believed she had found the keynote M Pauline's secret trouble. Thst there v secret trouble she never doubt for an Instant. She had observed ber mistress loo closely to be misled on that point; she knew that nothing but some mivhty fear could cause those su.l.len starts, followed by periods of anxious, hesvy-browed thought, to which she was subject. And, when Babette went up stairs, she reasoned the matter out. "I have heard that ahe never knew she was her uncle's heiress until after her father's death. What la more likely then than she should have married oat there In Italy married aome poor Idiot who was caught by her pretty face? And then, when my lady soddeuly finds that he la a rich woman, the la tired of this poor fool, and rune away and enjoys her life by herself. I believe I have found the dark sonMn my One lady'a life I If this is aa I think, I can take from her Uer beloved fiance and her riches at one I D'0,r- How glorious that woulJ be!" 1 lier race glowed witn savage saiis factiou at the bare thought of so com plete a revenge. She left her seat by the bay window of Pauline's dressing room, and paced up and down, her rxcitsment being t.Mi great for her to remain still. ft. .1....!... ..1 a 1 4,..:t l. was all iu 1 la.low, and presently a house maid came In and lighted the candles in the large silver branches on the toilet table. I As the rionr closed behind the maid Ha bette resumed ber promenade, and came to a sudden stop .us her eyes rested on the key left In the lock of a small brouxe box. This box contained Miss Mailing's private keys! She locked up very little; but what she did lock up ahe was rather particular about, and ber keys were In variably kept in this Indian box, thi key of which ahe carried about with her. As Hahette stood looking with a dull, fascinated gaxe at the key, she beard the rustle of silken skirts in the gallery outside. With a swoop like 'a hawk's. so awift and noiseless waa It, she pluck ed the little key from the lock and slip ped it into the pocket of ber dainty frill ed apron. The next Instant Misa Mailing turned the haudle of the door and saw Itabette rearranging the lace draperies round the looking glass. She crossed the room and went straight to the table, glanced quickly at the box, and then turned to Itabette. "Have you seen the key of this box?" "Not to-day, mademoiselle." "Provoking!" She took It up In her hands and shook it. Yes, the keys are Inside. Itabette, I wish you not to leave these rooms to-night until I come up to bed. I have dropped the key some where. I don't suppose It will be found until we have daylight to help us it Is so small. Hare your aupper sent up to you here." "Very good, mademoiselle." Babette stood with her hands held tighrly over ber heart, listening to the rustle of the silken skirts along the gal lery and down the stairs. Then ber expression changed from strained atten tion to vivid trinmph. She threw her clasped bands high over her head. She locked both doors, closed one window to prevent the blinds from fluttering, and then unlocked the small bronze box. She laughed as she picked out a key from the bunch and tried to unlock Pauline's large desk. "At last!" she whispered, aa the lock of the desk flew bac:. (To be eontlnned.l SHE LOSES BABIES. Woman Make Keirntar Trade of Abandoning! Infanta. There are ninny ways of getting a living In tills city, aome persons even working for It, but the most amazing of them all was partly unfolded la the Tombs court recently, when It was alleged there was a regular estab lished business for "losing babies" here, the headquarters of the gang be ing somewhere on Mott street, says the New York Tress. Detectives were searching for a woman on that street For long time the managers of children societies have been con vinced that the "losing" of babies has been conducted systematically and they will be both surprised and pleased If the present case does not develop the fact that "losing" Is only an In cideut That any one would care to part with an Infant Is something hard ly to be believed by the normal moth er, but for many months the officers of the societies have found too much sys tem in the abandonment of babies not to believe there was a regular trade In it Of course, every one hns heard of the man who wouldn't sell bis twins for $1,XX),X0, but wouldn't give 10 cents for another pair, but the Idea that women would enter Into scheme of disposing of Inconvenient Infants wss so revolting that the societies were long In taking any action. They got a lead on June 6, however, when an abandoned Infant was found on the gallery of Itrooklyn bridge. That Incident may be remembered, as the little one was In a common grocer's basket, which had been laid on the floor near the ticket office; Thousands hurried past, but no one paid any at tention to the basket covered with a piece of linen, until an employe on the bridge took some Interest. . The rush crowd simply parted and passed by on either side until the em ploye found In the basket one of the prettiest babies any one hnd seen for a long time. Then the women In the crowd, and the men, too, had time to stop for a moment and feel sorry for the abandoned little one. Itut one Howe, of the Ouk street police sta tion, bad other things to do than feel sorry, and made a little discovery that he kept to himself until he had a chauce to work up his clew and see If there was anything In It. On a bit of cloth swaddling the babe he found the name "Varlco." It wasn't much to go on, but Ilowe had Ideas of his own, and asked the precinct commander If he might go to work on It. Of Course, the case prop erly belonged to the bond. platters staff, but all detectives don't wear plain clothes, so Howe was told to go ahead and be careful to make no blunders. Following up the faintly defined name on the babe's clothing, the police man arrested Mrs. Marie Varlco and Mrs. Antoinette Tonella. of R5 Madi son street. Magistrate Wahle heard the case and was so amazed at first that he nilitht not have taken any ac tion had It not been that the two wo men got to quarreling In court each one accusing the other of abandoning the Infant. "That woman stole my baby," said Mrs. Varlco. "I did not" retorted Mrs. Tonella. You know you gave the child to me to take to a woman In Mott street who makes a business of disposing of ba bies. She told me that the bnliy wss alive and happy In a home In itrook lyn." Then the mnglstrnte became great! Interested and held the two women. He also learned the name and address of the woman on Mott street Artful Iodcr. rte Then I may hope? 8h WML yon may ask paps. II Impossible. She Why do yon aay that? He Because I haven't been able to ret sight of blm since I loaned him $10 before Christmas.

Aud If the latter has In course of time come truo It la only because he read the future clearer and more hopefully thnn any one else could do. He went Into the t-treet car business In the 70's and It prospered a good many years, as everything else was prospering. By the later 80's be wasl regarded by everybody as the richest man In the thriving town. But the bankers, who were not so optimistic as to think that the boom could be eter nal, were a little uervcus about Mm, It was common talk that any man with any sort of scheme to boom Minneapolis could get Tom Lowry's name on the back of It, and that most of them had. It waa Just at the end of the 80'S that the change was rr.nde from horse power to electricity. Then In "00 came the short sharp panic, caused by the failure of Baring Bros., and at that the boom In Minneapolis came to an abrupt end. It was hard enough for everybody, but It waa almost tho end of Tom Lowry, for the weight of every broken scheme aud every blasted hope fell back at last on hia shoulders. He was an good as bankrupt a half dozen tlmei over and yet the crash never came, The simple reason was that no one In the town was willing to sue blm for payment. That has a curiously Improbable sound after the men, the measures and the atmosphere we have been talking o? a little way back, but It Is literally true. The banks that held bis paper renewed It as often as tf fell due, and n certain banker to whom t talked a Wit it said: "Oh, yes; you could hove broken up any board of directors In Minneapolis by proposing to sue Tom Lowry, As for him, his serene confidence In his city never wavered, and when at last things came his way they came fast. Minneapolis has caught up with him at last and has made him a very rich man. But he could no more enter tain the Idea of going away to look for a wider field to rule thau a New Eng land preacher could think of going to the far East and setting up a harem. Thrlr Woaderfol Horns. After all has been said about the horns of the world's greatest horned animals, there are positively none thnt equal lu lmpresslveness the gigantic mass that crowns the head of a really big Alaskan moose, says Scrlbner's. Take) them In situ, as the geologists say on the head of their rightful own er, and In length, brendth and thick ness they Inspire in the mind of every lntelllKent human being a feeling of genuine awe. I do not see how even an Intelligent dog or horse can behold a pair of seventy-Inch moosa nntlers without being profoundly Impressed. The antler springs horlzont.i.y frq-n an upper corner of the head, on a uteni of solid bone thnt Is like the trunk of a hickory sapling. A foot or so from the burr It throws off toward the front, quite gratuitously as It were, two or three big spears of bone that are of much use In a fight. As soon as there Is room for real develo.c.nenr the main stem fattens out intj ait enormous slab of bone, perhaps two Inches in thickness, from twelve to eighteen Inches wide and from two to three feet long. This la the "palma- tlon," and very appropriate name It Is, too; for In the center it Is hollowed like a human palm, and studded along Its upper edge with from six to twelve fingers and thumbs of solid bone. In sheer exuberance of atrength, and xcps of born material, an Alaskan mooi antler occasionally throws off from the lower surface of Its palm, or It may lie from the front of the beam, a big, rugged spur-root of bone, which always has an extra-Impressive effect on the beholder. The largpst antlers of Alaskan moose are In the Field mu seum at Chicago. They have a spread of seventy-eight and one-half Inches and weight ninety-three and one-half pounds. It Was All Urer.
