"I want to tell you that I forbid yon to carry out the plan you have for break ing up Sir Richard' property." "Forbid me?" cried Hex, much re listed. "Why, I only want to do what my father's will enables mc to do." "Your father's will enables you to do nothing of the sort, and you know It." She spoke, as though rehearsing a serle of act speeehe. and Sarah watched her with growing alarm. "Oh, nonsense!" cries John Hex, In eheer amazement. "I have a lawyer's opinion on It." "Do you remember what took place it Hempstead this day nineteen yean?" "At Hempstead?" said Hex, growing suddenly pale. "This day nineteen year ago? No! What do you mean?" "Do you pot remember?" she contin ued, leaning forward eagerly, and speaking almost fiercely. "Do you not remember the reason why you left the houe where you were born, and which you wish now to sell to strangers?" John Hex stood dumfounded. the blood suffusing his temple. He knew that among the secrets of the man whose In heritance he had stolen was one which he had never gained and he felt that this secret was to be revealed to crush him now. Sirah, trembling alo, bHt more with rage than terror, swept toward Lady De vlne. "Speak out." she said, "If you have anything to say! Of what do you accuse my husband?" "Of lnijKture!" cried I.ady Devlne. all her outraged maternity nerving her to abash her enemy. "This man may be your husband, but he Is not my son! You Lave not stood the test, for you can not recall the day of your quarrel and mine over my cousin, Armlgell Esnie Wade. Lord Hellasls." John Hex gasped for breath; his band tugging at his ueek-cloth, rent away the linen that covered his choking throat. The whole horizon of bis past was light ed up by a lightning tlash which stun ned hlra. His brain, already enfeebled by excess, was unable to withstand this last shock. He staggered, and. but fur the cabinet against which he leaned, would have fallen. The secret thoughts of his heart rose to his lips, and were tittered unconsciously. "Lord Hellasls! He was my father, and I killed him I" A dreadful silence fell; and then Lady Devlne. stretching out her hands toward the self-confessed murderer, with a sort of frightful respect, said In a whisper. In which horror and supplication were strangely mingled. "What did you do with my aon? Did you kill him also?" Hut John Hex. wagging his head from Ida to side, like a beast In the sham bles that has received a mortal stroke, made no reply. Sarah Purfoy, awed as she was by the dramatic force of the situation, nevertheless remembered that Francis Wade might arrive at any mo ment, and saw her last opportunity for safety. She advanced and touched the mother on the shoulder. "Your son Is alive!" "Where?" "Will you promise not to hinder us leaving this house if I tell you?" "Yes, yes." "Will you uromlse to keep the confes sion which you have heard secret until we have left Kngland?" , "I promise anything. In heaven' name, woman, If you have a womar 'a heart, speak! Where Is my son?" Sarah I'urfoy rose over the enemy Vho had defeated her, and said, In level, de liberate accents, "They call him I'ufus Dawes. He Is a eonvkt at Xorfok Isl and, transported for life for the murder which you heard my husband eoi fes to having 'commUted Ah!" Lady Devlne had fainted, f Sarah flew to Hex. "How yourself. John! We have not a moment!" John Hex passed his band over his forehead wearily. "I cannot think. I am broken down. I am 111. My brain dtd." Nervously watching th prostrate fig ure on the floor, ahe hurried on bonnet, cloak and veil, and In, a twinkling had him outside the house md into a eab. "You won't give me up?" said Hex, turning dull eyes upon her. "Give you up! Nf! Hut the police will be after us so soon as that woman can speak, and her brother summon his lawyer. I know what her promise Is worth. We have got about fifteen hours." "I can't go far. Sarah." Bald he; "I am sleepy, and stupid." She ropressed the terrible fear that tugged at her heart, and strove to rally bin. "Now, sit still) and be good, while I go and get some money for you." She hurried Into the bank, and her name secured her au Interview with the manager at once. "That's a rich Woman," said one of the clerks to his friend. "A widow, tooL Chance for you, Tom," returned the ether; and, presently, from out the sacred presence came an other clerk with a nequest for "a draft on Sydney for three! thousand, less pre mium," and bearing a check signed "Sarah Carr," for tfto hundred pounds, which he "took" In ilotes, and so return ed again. From the(banksho was tak en to a shipping ofllffe. "I want a cabin In the first ship for Sydney, please. Whan does the Dido all?" "S "To-morrow mornlngA She Is at Ply mouth, waiting for the oialls. If you go (Iowa to-night by the mU train, which leaves at 0:30, you will be In plenty of time, and wo will telegraph." "I will take the cabin." John Hex was gnawing his nails In sullen apathy. She displayed the pas sage ticket. "You are saved. Hy the time Mr. Devlne gets his wits together, and his sister recovers her speech, we shall bo past pursuit." "To Sydney!" cried Hex. angrily, look ing at the warrant. "Why there?" Sarah surveyed him with an expres sion of contempt. "Hecause your scheme had failed. Now, this Is mine. You have deserted me once; you will not do so again In any other country. You are a murderer, a villain and a coward; but you suit me. I save you, but I mean to keep you. I will bring you to Australia, where the first trooper will arrest you at my bidding as an escaped convict. If you don't like to come, stay behind. I don't care. I am rich, I have done no wrong. The law cannot touch me. Do you agree?" Having housed him at last all gloomy and despondent In n quiet tav ern near the railway station, she tried to get some Information as to this last revealed crime. "How came you to kill Lord Hella sls?" she naked him, quietly. "I had found out from my mother that she was his deserted wife, and one day riding home from a pigeon mateh I told him so. He taunted me. and I struck him. I did not mean to kill him, hut he was an old man, and In my pas sion I struck hard. As he fell, I thought I saw a horseman among the trees, and I galloped off. My III luck began then, for the same night I was arrested at the coiner's." "Hut I thought there was robbery?" said she. "Not by me. Hut talk no more about It! I am sick my brain is going round. I want to sleep." "He careful, please! Lift him gently!" said Mrs. Carr, as the boat ranged along side the Dido, gaunt and grim. In the early dawn of a bleak May morning. "Gentleman seems to have had a stroke," said a boatman. It was so. There was no fear that John Hex would escape again from the woman he had deceived. The Infernal genius of Sarah Purfoy had saved her lover at last but saved him only that she might nurse him till he died died, Ignorant t-ven of her tenderness, a mere animal, lacking the Intellect he had in hts selfish wickedness abused. CHAPTER XXX. "This Is my story. Let it plead with you." It had grown dark In the prison, and as he ceased speaking, Hufu Dawes felt a trembling hand seize his own. It was thst of the chaplain. "Let me hold your hand! Sir Rich ard Devlne did not murder your father. He was murdered by a horsemsn who, riding with him, struck him and fled." "How do you. know this?" "Heeause I saw the murder commit ted, because don't let go my hand I robbd the body." "You?" "In my youth I was a gambler. Lord Hellasls won money from me. and to nr him I forged two bills of exehange. Unscrupulous and cruel, he threatened to expose me If I did not give him dou ble the sum. Forgery was death In those days, and I strained every nerve to buy back the proofs of my folly. I succeeded. I was to meet Lord Hellasls near his own house at Hampstead on the night of which you speak, to xiy the money and receive the bills. When I saw him fall I galloped up, but Instead of pursuing his murderer I rilled his pocketbook of my forgeries. I was afraid to give evidence, at the trial, or I might have saved you. Ah! you have let go my band!" "fiod forgive you!" said Riifus Dawes, and then was silent. Speak!" erled North. "Speak, or you will make me mad. Reproach uie! Spurn me! Spit upon me! You cannot think worse of me than I do mymdf," Hut the other, his bead burled In his hands, dbl wot answer, and, with n wild gesture, North staggered out of the cell. Nearly an hour had passed since the chaplain bad placed the rum llask In his hand, and Clmblett observed, with semi-drunken astonishment, that it was not yet empty. If he didn't finish the flask, lie would be oppressed with au everlasting regret. If he did finish It, he would be drunk; and to be drunk on duty was the one unpardonable sin. Tie looked across the darkness of the sea, to where the rising and falling light marked the schooner. The commandant was a long way off! A faint breeze which had arisen with the night, brought up to him the voices of the boat's crew from the Jetty below him. Ills friend Jack Mannlx was coxswain of her. He would give Jack a drink. Leaving the gate, he advanced to the edge of the embankment, and, putting his head over, called out to his friend. The breeze, however, which was momentarily fresh ening, carried his voice away; and Jack Mannlx, hearing nothing, continued his conversation. Gimblett was Just drunk enough to be virtuously indignant at this Incivility, and seating himself on the edge of the bank, swallowed the remain der of the rum at a draught. The ef fect upon his enforcedly temperate stom ach was very touching. He made one feeble attempt to get upon his legs, cast reproachful glance at the rum bottle, essayed to drink out of Its spirituous emetines, and then, with a smile of teekloss couttuit incut, fell fast asleep. North, coming out of the prison, did not notice thu absence of the Jailer; In deed, he was not In n condition to notice anything. Hare-headed, without his cloak, with staring eyes and clinched hands, he rushed through the gates Into the night as one who tiles headlong from some fearful vision. It seemed that, absorbed In his own thoughts, h took no heed to his steps, for Instead of tak ing the path which led to the sen, he kept along the more familiar one that led to his own cottage on the hill. "This man a convict!" he cried. "Mo Is n hero a martyr! What n life! Love! Yes, that Is love Indeed! Oh, James North, how base art thou In the eyes of (lod beside this despised outcast!" And o muttering, tearing his gray hair, and beating his throbbing temples with clinched hands, he reached his own room. Already he fancied he could see the speck that was the schooner move slowly away from the prison shore, lie must not linger; they would be waiting for him at the Jetty. As he turned, the uoouhcams as yet ilnobscurod by the rapidly gathering clouds Hung a sliver streak across the sea, and across that streak North saw a lmat pass, Was his distracted brain playing him false? In the stern sat, wrapped In a cloak, the figure of a man! A fierce gust of wind drovo the sea-rack over the moon, and tho boat disappeared, as though swallowed up by the gathering storm. North stnggercd back as the truth struck him. Was It possible that a Just heaven had thus decided to allow tho man whom a coward had condemned to escape, and to punish the coward who remained? Oh, this man deserved freedom; he was hon est, noble, truthful! How different from himself hateful self-lover, a drunk ard! The looking glass stood upon the table, and North, peering Into It, start ed In Insano rage at the pale feeo and bloodshot, eyes he saw there. What a hateful wretch he had become! (To be continued.)

NEW TELEPHONE RELAY. Illlllenllles of Former lie lee llima Anr illli li) 'Ibis One, According to the Kloetrlciil Review Dr. John Trowbridge has applied new principles lu devising a telephone lelny which have ooreniu the dllllcullb's met lu previous designs. Among Ih.t Mumbling blocks which luoo la-en in the way of the (mentors of telephone relays, two hate been prominent. One or them I the so-called growling or crackling noise which Is produced by the Instrument when the microphone transmitter Is used for inupllfyliiic tho signals. The other illlllculty has Immii to secure Independent adjustment ,f the receiving and transmitting Nirtloiis of the devlre. The former illlllculty 1 meriiuiie lu the present Instrument by placing the moving part of the re ceiver, which Is a light Inmlnntcd elec tro magnet, lu a balanced magnet field, and by keeping the center of the dia phragm of this part of the Instrument fico from pressure. To transmit the vibrations of this part of the Instrument to the micro phone, tlit movement of the outer edge are utlllred and not those or the center und these Ubrallon nro transmitted through metal and not through air, which Is a sstr transmitter. 1'iirtlier. this construction does not - Interfere with the motion of the dlnplirngm. Thl metal transmitter Is brought lu contact with the microphone transmitter and the pressure betweu the two call be nil Justed without Interfering with the ad justment of the receiving wrt. This mean of transmitting tin- vibration of one jwrt of the Instrument to the other Is new, and upon It, It I said, the suectwM of the Instrument largely depend. Dr. Trowbridge has found tlmt. lu the lalsiratory excellent result, are obtained will It. A satisfactory teli-plwine relay would, of course, greatly lonut the telephone art, ns It would net only Increase the ordinary distance of emnuiiiulCHtloii, but would assist In reducing the cost of the transmission line. Such a de vice would be the more welcome to-day, as other proNised methods of Improv ing telephone transmission do not seem to hne made as much headway as was oxpis'ted. It doos not seem, laiwever, thst any form of relay In which mov ing wrts are cuiplojcd ran lm niqdled to submarine work, except, of course, til cases where the relBy Itself would ho placed hImho water. It Is out of the question to place any Instrument which requires adjustment from time to time under water. WINS GIRL DY VOTE.

Regular leiurs were called for tho election and after all day's voting the candidates were only live vote apart. Dually three neighbors of Warnock ciiiiio lu and voted for him. Then two others came In and voted for him, thus tleliig the vote. Then Warnock came along and asked for a Imllot. Mis Crolgliton asked her school teacher sweetheart how he Intended to vote, and he replied, "I supiose that I should vote for my rival out of courtesy." Miss Crelghtou looked at him and smiled, then brushed the pink ballots bearing Wonthorow'a mime to the floor and hniulcd Warnock a white ballot tearing his own name, Warnock did not say a word, hut voted for himself, thereby winning the nomination for sheriff and Miss Crelghtou.
