He remained ataodina silent and ma tloalesa, with bia bright, beadlike eyaa watching her from under bla heary browa until ahe felt almost hysterical. "I have come with reference to an ad vertisement In thla mornlng'a Timea," alio began. "I believe you iuurted It?" 'No." She liMikeJ Incredulous for a moment, then laid: "Then, If you did not, you know who did, and you will favor me with their addreoa." "What for?" "I wish to tee them." Why?" "Whyl" Tauliue drew herself up proudly, for ahe waa getting Irrltted, aa ho aniwered. "I thluk that la my bual ness." "Not at all! It la oure." "You will aurely not refuse to let me have tbe address of the person who put that notice in this morning's Timea, when I tell yoit that I came on Sir Geoffrey's behalf. I am, In fact, a relative of his. It aaya It la for Sir Oeoffrey'a 'decided advantage." But how If" "That's my client's business. Lawyers never reveal their clients' affaire." "Out, if you will neither tell me your self nor give me your client' address, bow can I find out for Hir Geoffrey what the advantage la?" "8nd him her himself." "II can't come. lie la very 111," ahe told the lawyer. "Then we must wait until h' well." "You will absoultely tell nobody but himself what thla wonderful advantage Is?" "No on." Pauline roa from her chair, and thev looked steadily at each other for a few seconds. Klie gathered her energies for lier last effort. Hhe placed her hand on the table between them, and leaned for ward slightly, "What la your price for the address I want?" Dawa' eyes glittered. Two thoughta pasNod through Ins mind before he an swered: "You bav shown your fear by the offer of a bribe; and heaven aave tha Frenchwoman If I betray her, for you will certaiuly murder her!" Then be siioke: "The Information you ask for la price less." "I can give more than you think, per haps. On hundred pounds I" A pauae. "Two hundred three hundred four hundred five!" "I have anawered; It la prlceleea." , fclie looked for on Instant as If ahe would spring on him and tear the secret front him; then there cam the sullen look of one beaten and baffled, and ahe turned without another word, went down the rickety stairs, and re-entered the cab which bad been waiting for her. e e e e Faullne had counted confidently on making a bargain with Messrs. Dawa & Haven. She believed that some unknown person bad accidentally found out cer tain fact of her past life which ah had presalng reasons for keeping secret, and aha thought ah bad only to offer them good price for their alienee and the matter would end there. Now that aba waa one mora In her own room, wrap- fed In a warm dressing gown, and with Inure to think, she began to see that there waa something more than the mere greed of gain prompting her unknown ad versary. Thla fighting In the dark waa alarming. If ah only knew from what quarter to eipect the attack ahe might be able to make some sort of resistance; aa It waa, there waa nothing to be don but sit down and calmly await the onslaught. On on point only could ah make up her mind she must hurry on her mar riage. Let her one be Jack'a wife, anil, DO matter what phantoms should rise from the past to threaten her, ah would t leaat be aura of hla love; for ahe would love him ao dearly, ah would be o gentle, so winning, that he would not be able to withhold hla love from her, even though be should grieve to find her other than he had thought. And ao that evening she got Jack'a conaent that they should be married "a fortnight hence, on the 18th of Septem ber, the day after aha reached her twen ty fifth year. CHAl'TKIt XIV. Ethel waa certainly very courageous, She waa also atrong, young and healthy, and had an unusual amount of aelf-prlde, all of which kept her from giving way under the load of grief that came niton lier after Jack'a faithless behavior. But he felt her Borrow none the less deeply. nd bid It trom her father s sight. Captain Telling had been away nearly a week on a vlxit to an old friend, and Ethel was fueling the dally monotony of her life very Irksome aa ahe once more aet about making her father's coffee. There were letters on the tablo, but he did not feel particularly curious about them. As she placed the coffee pot on the table the writing on the envelope lieit to tier own piste caught her eyes. The Mood rmhed to her face, and, with nervous haste she picked up the envelope nd opened It. Pit read the Invitation card, and the flush fade slowly, leaving n expression of sorrowful contempt on her face. Toor Jack!" ahe sighed. "I wonder If he thinks a few civilities of thla kind will make amends for hia conduct In the past? Does he Imagine he csn repay m for the loss or tils love by holding out the hand of friendly patronage? Can be bvllev It would give m pleasure to spend an evening In watching hla atten tions to hla handsome hostess?" She threw the csrd from her with an Imps tlent sigh. "How contemptibly foolish It Is of me to car so much after all thla timet I'erhapa dad would like to see his old borne again; and, as It doe not really matter much whether I go or not, I will do aa he wishes about It" Aa ah heard her father' step on the atalre ahe turned as brightly aa osnal toward him to aay, "Good morning, Then aha bald hla envelop behind her playfully, saying: "A thonaand gnesasa, nd you will not guess w litre this letter la from, papa "I ahall not make oue e tn me." "It I Invitation to Malllngford for the seventeenth of this month from Miss Mailing herself, for a ball" "A ball!" he repeated. "Why la the world should Mis Mailing lavlt me to balir II looked at the envelope urlooal, and ths Midi It la addressed The W's Secret, OR A BITTER RECKONING By CHARLOTTE M. BRAEMB to Q. Mallett. Esq.,' and In Jack Dorn- tona writing! Oh, I begin to under stand!" ha went on. In a vole of genu in relief, aa be took the card from the envelope. "I feared for the moment that Summera had been doing a kindness, aa ha calls It. and Derauaded Paulina Mall ing to Invite her poor relatives' to her ball. But thla civility la evidently due to Dornton's good nature, and la aent in all good faith, to 'the Malletta, old friends of mine,' aa he would aay In de scribing us." "Who la Summera, papa?" "Ixrd Summers la your cousin's guar dian." "Of course I remember the kind looking old man we met at the Exhibi tion last May." "Yea. I'v been In constsnt dread ever since that unfortunate meeting that he would aeek me out and try to do aoma thing for me. That waa why I waa ao annoyed when you told biui you copied la the galleries; I thought he might pounce on you and worm our address ont of you." "Do you think he would tell Miss Mailing about my copying at the gal leries, papa?" "No doubt of It; he la an Inveterate talker." Ethel had sudden conviction that Miss Mailing had used this Information to obtain their addresa, if Lord Sum mera had not, and believed ah bad at last found out to whom she waa Indebt ed for her anonymoua letter. Thla be lief did not Increase her desire to go to Malllngford; but ahe held to ber resolu tion to leave the decision In her father'a hands. "Do you want to go to the ball?" be asked. "I don't car on bit about It, If you don't want to go, dad." "I don t car about the ball, either; but I should like you to see the old place, Ethel. If we were to go to the ball I should most likely run up against some one who would remember me aa Geoffrey Mailing, and there would be quit a little sensation over my reappearance; but this invitatioit entitlea us to call on Miss Mail ing, In any case. Send an acceptance, my dear; we can follow It up by an ex cues on the morning of the 17th. In the meantime w will run down on day and leave our cards and take a look round Juat aa ordinary strangers, and no on will thluk w are anything ale." Ethel waa glad the question waa set tled In this way, for ahe, too, wished to see the old bouse that ahould In Justice bav been her fatber'a. Mr. Malett open ed the other letter and threw It acroaa to her. "Read it out, Ethel. It'a from Palling. I'v talked ao much that I'v no time to eat." Ethel read the letter, which ran follows: "My Dear Mallett I send some birds by to-nlght'a train; hope they will arrive all right. I a.n tired of this placs, but can't get away under ths promised fort night. My old frieud haa taken a wife slues I last saw him. Said wife haa three slaters at present staying with her; and, aa they are all of the genu 'blue stocking,' my life hss been a burden to mo since my arrival here. Sport la ex cellent, but Just the leaat bit monotououa. The house Is full of pleasant people and yet I mlsa your society more than I could bav thought possible; and 1 am really anxious to get back to our work. Tell Mlsa Mallett not to forget ber prom ise " "What promise waa that?" Mr. Mal lett aaked. "I'm not quite sure what he means, unless " Ethel blushed slightly. "Never mind; finish the letter to your self, my dear, for I must be off directly." After seeing her father off and finish ing the letter, Ethel did not feel alto gether happy. She was afraid Captain l'elllng had aet too high a value on her words, and ahe tried to recall exactly what ahe had said when he had called to aay good-by. What had really occurred was this. When Ethel put her hand Into 1'elling'a he held It while he said: "I wish I could flatter myself by be lieving you would miss me a little while I am away, Miss Mallett; but perhapa It would be a welcome miss, for I know I'm terrible bore sometimes." He looked so wistful that Ethel felt quite a thrill of sympathy for him, and, on ths ImpuWe of ths moment, respond ed: "I'm sure I shall mlsa you, and I ahall be glad to see you back again." And l'elllng had left her with a face so glorified with delight that ah bad feared and wondered continually what such glorification might mean, and had alternately blamed herself for her Im pulsive words, and him for his misinter pretation of them. I'aullne was rsther staggered a couple of days later when she received affirma tive replies from Mr. anil Miss Mallett; but ahe waa in such a whirl of excite ment by this time that so small a peril as a visit from her uncle and cousin pass ed by unheeded. It waa now the 8th of September, and she waa to be married on the ISth. Ha bette was the only member of the house hold who had been taken Into her mis tress' confidence with regard to her ap proaching marriage, and the vivacious French woman was delighted at the prospect of going up to town every day between then and the 18th, to aee after the piles of new finery Indispensable at such a time. CHAPTER XV. The 13th of September bad corns, and to Babette'a great discomfiture Messrs. Daae A Raven had not yst discovered H r Geoffrey's address. Only flvs daya remained to the date of the wedding ah had sworn to frustrate. She liad been to town to get some lace for her mistress, and Incidentally to Interview the lawyers, and waa now re turning dispiritedly to Malllngford. At f.hti station, aa she was about entering a conveyance, she hesrd some one be hind her asking for a fly to go to Mall lngford Park. She turned to look at the Inquirer, and for a moment stood (taring at a tall, well-bred looking man, vU dently on the wrong aide of fifty, with i sweet faced girl of eighteen on hla arm. She recognised the girl as ths young lady ahs bad followed from tbs Museum to ber boms, and whoss name ah bad dis covered from ths neighboring trade poo pi by ber mistress' order a boot two month before. Then ah remembered posting a lsttsr to this young lady for her mistress, and next aha recalled bar ing seen Dornton's lsttsr to ths same person a few day later, and la a blind fashion without knowing wky, ahe cob sected their appearaace at Malllngford wit a. Uom letters, and a wild beps praag p ta her heart that thla elderly aristocrat and bis pretty daughter bad corns to Malllngford to belp on her pur pose of preventing Miss Mailing's marriage. Bahett was soon deposited at Mailing ford House. Bh mad herself present ble, and went down to Miaa Malllng'a boudoir on the ground floor oa the pre tense of discussing her morning's pur chases with her mistress, but really with the determination to bang about the neighborhood of the reception rooma, and witness if possibls, overhesr ths Inter view between Miss Mailing and theee Malletta. Ths windows of ths boudoir overlooked lone stretch of the principal drive. When Babette reached ths room It waa empty. She placed herself to watch for the arrival of the fly from the village. She ssw It come up the loog avenue and atop at ths msln sntrancs. Thsn shs went to the ball and busied herself look ing for an Imaginary missing ahawl among the numberless wrapa lying about. The ball porter, for aomo unknown rea son, waa not at bla poet, and an Inexpe rienced footman Informed Mr. Mallett that Mias Mailing waa not at home. Ba bette, thinking ahe aaw ths chance of help from these people gradually allpplng away, cam forward boldly. "Are you sure you are right In de nying Miss Mailing to thla gentleman, Philip?" she asked. In a low voice. "I think you bars made a mistake. If you will follow me, monsieur, I will aes If Miss Mailing baa returned from ber drlv." Shs took them to the boudoir, stood for a moment In thought, and then flew off to the picture gallery. Aa ah ex pected, ahe found Jack and Miss Mailing In ths deep recess of a window at ths far and. Shs snnounced: "Mr. and Mlsa Mallett In jour bou doir, mademoiselle!" Pauline sprsng from her chair and atood glaring at Babette aa If shs were a messenger from another world. Ths ords "Sir Geoffrey" rose to her lips, but shs remembered In time that bla In dividuality waa not known to any one but heraelf, and ahs checked ths Dams with an effort "I am not at home," ahe told her maid. "I left word to that effect." "Yea. ao they aald, mademoiselle; but I happened to be In the ball, and I thought I heard the gentleman aak for Monsieur Dornton; ao I offered to aee If be waa In." (To be continued.) ) THE CAPTURED PRtSIDENiV A paragraph from on of tbs En glish papers remark on the unusual Ig-ht of Sir Charles Bereaford'a flag flying from tb President, a tralnlng hlp lying on the Thames, aa a sign that tha chief of tbe Mediterranean squadron had taken command of his fleet. To tha American, the Interest ing part of thla statement lies not In tha display of tha flag, but In the ves sel from which It flies. The President la an old United States frigate, the capture of which by the British form ed one of the moat picturesque events' of the War of 1812. Admiral Decatur, the "idol of the American Service," the "Bayard of the Seas," was put in command of the President in 1814. Tbe vessel was built in New York some twenty years before, and carried forty-four guns. When the admiral took it in, charge, the treaty of peace with England was already concluded, but telegraphs be ing things of the far future, the news had not reached American shores, and hostilities were still kept up. One dark night Decatur tried to steal out of Long Island Sound with out the knowledge of the British squadron, which was known to be lurking about. By a mistake of the pilot the ship ran Into a sand-bar, and pounded for two hours before the tide lifted it off. Then it was found to be so badly strained that the aumlrnl de cided to turn back to New York, but a fierce gale drove it out to sea. At daylight three or four English vessels were sighted, which Immedi ately gave chase. The Endymlon, bearing fifty guns, caught up with the crippled ship, and for hours a severe cannonading was carried on. Decatur, seeing that It was Impossible to out strip the British vessels, decided on a bold stroke. Ills plan was suddenly to turn about, board the Endymlon, and escape in it. "My lads," he cried, "that ship Is coming up with us! As our ship won't sail, we'll go slxinrd theirs, every man and boy of us. and carry it back to New Y'ork. All that I ask Is that you follow nie. This Is tbe favorite ship of the country. What! Let such a ship go for nothing?" The answer was a hearty cheer. But a clever move by Captain Hope saved the Endymlon. Tbe other frigates came up, and although Decatur's fire had virtually disabled the Endymlon, be could do nothing now but surren der. One-fifth of his crew 'was killed or wounded, and be was badly Injured himself. The President, with its crew, was taken to Bermuda. Decatur's sword was returned to him, and every civili ty was shown to the prisoners by their captors. The President was taken to England, where It Is still used as a training ship. It was spoken of by British au thorities as a model of naval architec ture, and Its construction recommend ed to ship builders. The old ahlp's crew has long since passed away, and its very existence is almost forgotten by the nation for which it fought so gallantly. Similarity, "They call these 'dog days," re marked tbe man with the wilted collar nd palm leaf fan. "Any particular breed of dog?" spoka up the warm-weather wit. "Yes, I should say 'greyhound.' " "Why o?" "They srs so long." All Trouble. "May I ask what you are looking for?" said the clerk In the ticket office. "I am looking for trouble," rwplled the man who was running hla finger over the big wall map of tbe world. "Looking for trouble r "Yes, air, I am hunting op Russia."

"I'm In a terrible fl." sobbed tha top-floor girl, according to tbe New York Preaa, "and don't know what I ball do about it." "What's the trouble?" asked her sympathetic friend. "it'a all about Howard, and oh, dear, It'a awful. I discovered tbe other day that I had lost S3. It had been banded me when I waa at my writing desk, and instead of at once putting It away in a safe place, I etuck It into an envelope and left it there. Later I wrote aeveral letters, and when I again remembered tbe 3 bill it was gone, "My natural supposition was that I had aent it away In one of the letters I had Just written. All those letters, except one. were business letters. The exception waa to Howard Strong. I immediately wrote to every one of my correspondents and explained what I had done and asked them to examine the envelope for a trace of the $3, Howard Strong Is the only one Unit haa replied so far; he sent me the $3, Fortunately, he said, he had not de stroyed tbe envelope, and there, tucked away In ono corii-r, be had found the $3 bill. "Naturally I felt pretty good over that outcome of my mistake, but tho next morning, when the second chapter began to unroll, I didn't feel quite so comfortable. I found then. In the top envelope of a bunch that I had pre viously overlooked, that $3 bill. "It la no use for anybody to try to imagine how I felt, because It can't be done. I spent fully two hours pus sling over Howard's motive In sending me the money. Finally I came to the conclusion that he must have con strued my letter as an ingenious way of asking for a loan, and he hud forth with responded In the same round about fashion. I wrote Howard a tinging letter. I claimed that by put ting such a construction on my letter he had Insulted me. Of course I re turned the $3. About two hours after I bad mailed that letter chapter No. 3 began. Ellen Farlss and I use that writing desk in partnership. It was Ellen's turn at the desk. Tbe first thing I knew she waa upsetting things In general look ing for a particular envelope. What kind of an euvelope was it?' I asked. 'One of those plain white ones,' he said. 'It was right on top of thla bunch. I stuck a $3 bill In it yester day At that point In Ellen's explanation I collapsed. It was her money that I had returned to Howard, and I had to take the "last $3 I had In the world to settle with her. I haven't heard from Howard, and I have not bad the cour age to write again. I said In my last letter that all was over between us, and apparently It Is." And tbe girl wept afresh. HOW LOVE MAY BE CURED. A Mild Malady, I.Ike Measles of Tonallltls, Say Seleatlate. Henceforth the "detrimental" should cease to be a terror to mothers and chaperons. Henceforth ahould the green-eyed monster He quelled at the feet of lovers and husbands and the lovesick be made whole, says the Lon don Ladles' Pictorial. For a means has been discovered by which love can be measured, reduced, cured and gen erally treated, like any other mnlady, Unrouiantlc as It may sound, unpoet lcally as all Cupid's victims may con sider it and fatal though it may be to the popularity of the novel, , the fact must still be faced that science has re duced love to tbe level of an ordinary disease, the symptoms, progress and effects of which can be studied like those of the measles or influenza. The scientist hns not spared the heart In bis researches; be has been no respecter even of the grand passion and In continental and transatlantic laboratories he has been at work on machines and schemes now perfected, we are told, by means of which the strength of an affaire du coeur can be tested and the results studied.. But all this would be of little use If not turned to some practical account and It will therefore, as we any, ease the burden of mothers to learn that great Vien nese, German, French and American specialists are now agreed that the most virulent cases of loveslckness are curable. "If there Is an undesirable lover In the case he can be erased from his vlctlm'a mind rather more easily than an attack of tonsllltls could be cured. If madame Is grieving over an old love affair, monsieur, her huxhnnd, hns only to call In the specialist, and the malady will be at an end. If silly lads are spoiling their careers because of some heartless maid; If sillier maidens are growing pale over men who do not want their affections, they have only to undergo a course of hypnotic treat ment and their reason and hearts will he forthwith restored. It all sounds very simple and seems to suggest a kind of Devolution of ro mance, but somehow one seems to fancy that there Is more dnnger, after all, in Cupid's arrows than the love measuring machine of the modern sci entist Is equal to coping with. If it has really come to pass that heart breaks can be arranged to order like cheap tours, then how, one may rea sonably ask, are the poor novelist, the still more to be pitied poet and the hapless dramatist to get a living In the coming by and by? o (all for rsiilsew.
