NO. 14. QBE. 1IERR STEINIIARDTS NEMESIS I BY I. MACLAREN COBBAN. CIlAPTKIt XII Continued. "It It nut fur me, Fraulein," I answered, "to Hjr how wicked ho in. Hut I have told you b U behaving vary harshly to tha dead man's daugh ter mora tlian harshly, for ha haa even hlI her away la a strange town, to try every means to make her marry hit son, la order that he may not have to give an account of the dead man'a property. A ud here It a letter which I have re reived thia morning from her other guardian, who waa Jlerr Stelnhardt't lieat frlnd whn he first came to r.ng land, and whom he haa almost ruined, lie haa found the young lady, and taken her to hla own house; but he foara he cannot keep her, for llerr Btelnhardt may now ruin htm outright. I must therefore return; and tnia, Fraulein, It my only hope of effectual" lr hindering llerr Htelnhardt from do ing what he w ill by frigtenlng him w ith my know ledge. But I do not yet know enough to do that. It will thm be teen that I told Fran Mn llaat utt enough of the case to convince her of itt urgency, but ahe gu-wd something I had not told her. "I understand now, llerr Pastor," ahe aaid, "w hy you are ao interested In Emmanuel Bteinhardt't crime; it it more love than vengeance that puthea you on. And tl it', too, llerr Pastor, will make you belter understand why I am Interested in Kmmanuel Stein hardt," ahe mid, simply, looking cot at me, but at her thin clasped band, "lie waa many yeara ago not the llerr Btelnhardt he seems to he now ; he waa good and gentle, though hia heart and mind were set on Wing rich. Hut I detain you, ' ahe added, glancing up auddeuly. Her hand tightened their clasp on each other. "If," ahe aaid, with rapidly growing vehemence, "I tell yon what I have eeen, In order that you may be able to deliver the die-treaet-d young Fraulein, promise me, llerr Paator, for the take of my pant, and aa yon hope to be happy and peace ful la the future promise me that you 'will uie what I tell you only for the purpose you aay, and that you will keep It, eo far a ever you can, from becom ing public!" I gave the promise at once without reeerve. "And," ahe aaid, "you will leave Kmmanuel Stelnbardt'e punishment In the handa of Almighty God?" I answered I would though it wae a it range queatlon to have to answer. Ahe then turned a 1 moot away from me, partly, I thenght, that ahe might be leaa conecioua of my presence, but more that ahe might concentrate her attention on bet recollections. Her handa clasped and unclasped several timea before they settled, the one in the other, and she began: "It wat, I think, in the March month of a year ago. I had slept a loi.g time very aoundly, for I had been very tired, when suddenly I felt aa if I were taken up and carried away far away; and I waa made to look at Km manuel Steinhardt. He looked at me a if he wished me to help him; at hia feet wat large wooden box, the lid of which, I waa made to understand, would not cloe. From the owning protruded a human hand, atrangely discolored. I awoke all trembling. I put out my own hand to make sure I waa in my own bed ; my mother waa aleeplng quietly teide me. I triod to diamias the vlalon from my mind fool ish dream, I thought it. But I could aleep no more. In two or three hour it waa daylight, and I arose. I went about my dutiet all the day aa utual ; I wat busy, and had the improBtdon of the vlfion much worn away when I went to bed In the evening rather early, becauM I wat very tired. I had tlept not very long, w hen again I was aa if aeixed up and whirled away, again to tee Emmanuel Rteinhardt, with aomething at hia feet again not now the wooden box, which wat aside, but three packagea of canvas. Again Em mannel Stoinhardt looked at me, aa it he wiHhed me to go to him, and again I awoke, all trembling." Bhe paused In her story of the vis ions, took her handkerchief and wipod hor damp brow with trembling hand. I watched her Intently, a ' sensation of creeping excitement and myBtory held me bound to her quiet but intense recital. Bhe resumed suddenly, with out looking at me. "I slept no more that night far thinking of what I had seen, and ao I saw Emmanuel Btelnhardt no more; I tried to sleep in order that I might, but I could not.. A terrible night to me it was. But next night 1 was sleeping a light, disturbed sleep, when I was taken away again to Emmanuel Bteinhardt: this time I knew I was not in a room; there was no light. He looked at me across a newly dug spot of around, and then turned away. I did not really wake, though I felt con ecioua I was in my own beoat the same time as I waa held where he had left me, closo to a wall. After sometime, ' how long I cannot tell, he came back with a rone. I knew at once what he was going to do before he had done it fasten the rope in an iron something on the other side of the wall and pull it over. I do not know why I did not think it impossible for a single man to null a wall down with a rope, but laid not. In a little while he pulled, and the wall fell flat, and, curiously, iin broken, covering over the newly dug pot and all arounnd it. Then I awoke, aa with the noise, and slept no more. After that night I saw him again for several nlghti, for a dim moment or two, at , the tame place. They were but glimpses, which,' as the nights ' I Jl .J J! passed on, Became vimmer uu uiuiium, : S. . . s. and then censed altogether until some week 1 ago, when again I wat summoned to face him at that mii.o place with the fallen wall. He looked at me earnestly, and then over hia shoulder at aome ore whom t did not wo, but who I kn ho f"arej was watching him. Thl happened three, four times, and then no hiore. There ha ten no more yet, but whut may be, (iod only know 0. That 'll all," she mid, with a sigh at of relief, turning to me. "And now, Herr Pastor, you know whut I have had to tell, and you will not forget your promise to me you will not tot yoiimelf to bring pun ithment on Emmanuel Kt"liihn)t." "I shall hold my proinlt to you, Fraitloin," said I, "as sacred." Poeaed aa I was with the exciting thought engendered by her story, I was almost forgetting that I had no reull ofuiy mlsxion which I could show or tell to tteiiihardt, and the time at my dis posal munt be very short. I looked at my watch; I had half an hour to spare. There waa no time for the expresion of wonder, or of any kind of fitting com ment npon what I had heard. Peeing me look at my watch, ahe roee. "And now," she said, "you must go quickly, I ntppose, to your hotel, and then to the atation." "Yes," I aaid. "But there it one thing, Fraulein, I had tlmoet forgotten; not of a painful sort," I mad haste to add, for she had reaiuumed her expres sion of close endurance and resignation. I came aa llerr btelnhardt a meseen- ger, and I have no message I can carry back to liim." Bhe sat dow n again, took a sheet of paper front a drawer, and wrote in the middle of the page, in a small German hand, a few 'words, which the signed. When she had written she handed the paper to me, saying, "You may read." I read (the words were in German) - "Bepfnt, and turn away from your evil, Wore it Is too late." This, enclosed In an envelope, and addressed, I put In my pocket for Bteinhardt. There remainod now but one thing for me to do to say farewell to Fraulein Haas, the poor, lonely lady, who still with fond regret cherished her memory of a man w ho was to me the greatest villain on earth. How I longed I , .aoula Ja otutlii-w n 1 her Ule, say even te proper wora 01 comfort and hope! But I felt hei spirit dwelt on heights too great for any commonplace word of consolation from n.e to reach. I therefore Dado her a silent farewell. Bhe held my hand a moment. "If anything happen to him," she said, "you w ill send me word?" I answered I would; and the next moment the was turned away from me, and the next I was out of the room, and had seen my last of Fraulein Haas. When I waa In the train, rushing hack toward England, I unexjected!y found that I was bearing away with me a pathetic memento of her, and that I had left her a memento of myself. 1 put my baud into my pocket to find Birley a letter, but could unit only tne following lithographed form, inntond. I suppose I had taken it from her table when I meant to take up the letter w hich I had laid down. The poor lady might have been looking at it before 1 entered her room. Thia was the form: "Meine Verlobnng mit Fraulein Emilie Haas von Mental xeiiie lch hiemit ergebenst an Dusel, November, 1854. "Emmanuel Btelnhardt." (My engagement with Fraulein Entitle Hass of l.iestal I herew ith make public in Busel) CHAPTER XIII. In what a fever of excitement, anx- l.itu ami iinriA I nmda tha iournev w - r- - ,, ' hi-iinn. I nond not atav to describe. The story of Lacroix'a fate I could now till In to ita last detail ; l knew w here hit niutilated remains lay buried, or at least I . knew a spot which coincided with that described by Fraulein Haas, so what remained for me to do was to bring the fact of my knowledge home to Bteinhardt In a manner so forcible that he could not refuse to make terms to me more than this I could not ae comvlish, even if I would, considering my promise to Fraulein Haas. But in the sequel I had my conviction re-, impressed that I was in thin business but the agent of a Higher Power. I reached Timperley very late on Sat urday night, but In spite of the late ness of the hour and my weariness I went at once to Birley 'e; I had warned him of my coming by telegram from London. I found him waiting for me, and with him, as I had hojed, but scarcely expected, hit ward Louiso. I fear hit cheerful greeting passed for almost nothing with me In comparison with hers. Her manner was undemon strative, but there was, I felt, a cordial sincerity in it which came from her true heart, and I was fluttered with hope. There were, however, things more serious and immediate to be talked of than matters" of love could then be considered. I Inquired concerning Steinhardt, and wat told that they had not yet seen him. What, I asked Birley, did he propose to do if Steinhardt came and demanded the surrender of his ward? would he admit him? "Admit him?" he exclaimed. "Of course. There is no use In shutting him out. He can sell me up In thia house and then turn me out, he has a bill of tale on everything, and he has been holding It back for some time, to use it now, I expoct, but Louise shan't gcr back to him, unless she likes; I'll find some roof to shelter me and her. Yea," aaid be, turning his bright face npon her, "we'll get thro' It all right." "You are both very good to me," said she, going to him, and sheJdlag tome tears on hit ahoulder. "There now there," said he, pat ting her. Then turning to me, "She meant yon, too, my lad." "Yet," said the, resuming her teat, and looking down, "Mr. Birley hat told me all you have done for toe to find out about my poor father and all that he and you tuspect, too. And I cannotoh, I cannot! she cried, shuddering and pressing her hands to her eyea "look at that terrible, cruel man again!" "I could not help telling her, my lad," aaid Birley, in answer to a look ol reproach from me. "The old chap wrote questions to her about th' (eri you found, and I had to explain." "But," said I, in tome alarm, "you know, Mini Lacroix, we mut not, we cannot denounce him we 111114 not, I doubt, say anything till we have some evidence that he It really the mnn. I think, I am sure, I coon shall have that evidence, but even then we roust be careful what we say." This, 1 was glad to find, was not re garded aa more than a general, though confident, exprexslon of hope, ao I was not asked aw kard questions. Now that my anxiety concerning Louise was for the time allayed, I felt exceedingly tired. I promised to call next day to tell them about my journey, and roe to go to my lodgings, where my land lady, I knew, or her herculean son, would still be sitting up for me. Birley accompanied me to the door, talking according to his wont. He put on a cap which lung in the hall, and, leaving the door ad jar, waked with me to the gate. The air refreshed me, and, full as I was of Fraulein Haas's revelation, I feit impelled to tell Birley something of it. Thus, almost uncon sciously, we wakted away from the gate down the lane h ading to the high road, and I was led into telling hint all, the more to that he did not seem sceptical of the value of her visions. We had thus left the house tome minutes, how many I cannot tell, when several sounds like screnmt in rapid succession rose behind us into the stilt night. We stoppKl together and looked at each uuior. "By the L d!" exclaimed Birley. "I left the door open!" Wu were hurried back by a common impulse. Wo found the door adjar, apparently as we had left it, but when we entered and approached the room in which we had been sitting we heard Bteinhart'a voice. "Well, 'Manuel," said Birley, when re were in thu room . .l'o Km?.v noma. xpccteryu wouldn't be lng. Pteinhsrdt turned (Louise wat. lied him front the other side of "the table with fear in her eyes); he did not answer his brother-in-law, but stared at me. "What is the meaning of this?" he akked. "Were do you come from?" "From Basel," I answered, "whert l- was not wanted. Fraulein Haas wined to see you, not me; she is well, and it is for you she is anxious, not for lieri-clf. She sent you a line by me;" I handed him the letter. . lie impatiently tore the envelope, and reud with a frown. I knew the words; I tried to read front his face how tl.ey affected him. Their point, I thoilght, found a joint in hia harness; he evidently winced; he looked on the floor, on this side and on that, aa if for once he were made to pause and consider. But this was only for a moment; he looked up at me and then at Birley, the same insistent, master ful Bteinhardt as before. (To ba continued.) SIGNIFICANT NUM3ER SEVEN. Woven Into the ttutary of tht World In Many Peculiar Ways.' The number seven is not only con sidered a lucky number by the super stitious, but it was a symbolical nunv ber in the Bible, at well as among na tions of antiquity. In the Old Testa ment we note that the Creator took seven days, and on the seventh was a sacred day of rest. Every seventh year wat sacred, and the seven timet seventh year ushertd in a year of jubi lee. There are seven principal virtues faith, hope, charity, prudence, tern poranee, -chastity and fortitude and there are also seven deadly sins pride, covetousnees, lust, anger, ghutouy, envy ana sloth. there were seven champions of Christendom St. George, England; St. Andrew, Scotland; St. Patrick, Ireland; St. David, AYales; St. Penis, France; St, James, Spain, and St. Anthony, Italy. There were Feven ages of man, also teven wise men of Greece. Christ spoke seven times on the cross. Rome was built on seven hills, ami there are lnnumer able other traditions which go to prove that seven was a number to cling to. In these modern times it is wonderful how often the number prevails. Por instance, vaccination must take place every seven years, in order to escape small pox: fashions change every seven years, and seven years is always a mile stone in a person s age. Charicteriitics ol Gold. Many people suppose that all gold it alike when refined, but this it not so. An experienced man can tell at a glaiue from what part of the world a gold.picce comes, and in some cases from "what particular gold district the metnl has been obtained. Australian gold, for instance, is distinctly redder than that from California. The Ural gold is the reddest found anywhere. Happy Recollection.. Visitor Well, my man, what are you in for?

WILL 8EE IF MILES IS THE MAN. Blsmt for Giving Out Philippine Report te Be fixed. Washington, June 7. Following up the intimation which Senator Beveridge made that General M ilea was furnish ing reports from the war department, an investigation it in progress. It it possible that this will not bring the matter home to Miles. In fact, tome subordinate will probably have to shoulder the responsibility if it it traced to the headquarters of the army, although it oiay be said beyond all question of doubt that when official documents come out from the headqnai tci that the commanding general winks at them. This was the case with Miles furnishing the newspapers all corre f.pondcnee between himself and the sec retary of war when he wat in Porto Rico. This wat never brought home to Miles, although be no doubt understood perfectly well that the correspondence wat being obtained. It is very annoying to the secretary and to the president to have a high officer of the army, having access to all papers, use his position to Injure the army and the administration. The matters which leak out from some at present unknown but suspected source are those which the war department is investigating on its own re-ponsibility, but which used separately are detri mental to the army. There is no doubt now that if the president could fix this matter upon Miles beyond question hit threatened retirement would follow very speedily. MITCHELL JOKES WITH HANNA. Tells (lira He Will Puncture Hie Panama Ca- aal Argument. Washington, June 7. There was a jocular exchange between Senator Mitchell and Senator llanna yesterday before either of them began to talk. Mitchell told TIanna that he had raised the price of red ink in marking eruptive volcanoes around the canal route, and Hanna retortnd that he could not un derstand why Mitchell should go wrong on an important question like this, adding he wat wrong on the Chinese exclusion question. "Yes," . responded Mitchell, "and you people passed a Chinese exclusion law which is so full of holes that the Chinese can come into this. country without any dilficulty." nal or Chinese, come to see me and I will put you straight." "1 intend to puncture your ranama route," responded Mitchell, "showing it is aa bad as your Chinese bill, and I will give 17 valid reasons why the Panama route should not be chosen for a canal." UPRISING IN SIAM. Fearful Slaughter Continue Along the River Mekong. Victoria, B. C, June 9. The Siarn Free Press, a copy of which has just been received here by steamer, says the rising along the right bank of the Me kong river has assumed grave propor tions and adds: "Rumor has reached Bangkok that fearful slaughter continues there and' that the regulars from Bangkok, who have been sent to subdue the rebels, are giving no quarter. Upwards of 200 persons have been recently shot and many others wounded, it is said. but this slaughter has only excited the people to desperation, who vow ven geance on the soldiers of the king. The gravity of the situation can be judged from the fact that more troops are to be dispatched. It is fortunate, however, that the rising is confined to the right bank of the Mekong and that the trouble up to now is limited to Siamese territory. But should the op posite bank catch the flame, then the situation might become grave indeed and the result might prove disastrous for Siam, as the French authontie would be bound in such an event to take active and stringent measures to protect their own interests and insure the safety of their own people." Excessive taxation and unscrupulous and exacting officials are held responsi ble for the rising. POLLS ON CANAL BILL. Panama Probably Now Has 42 Votes in the Senate. . Washington, June 7. Polls have been made upon the Nicaragua canal by various New York papers, but, of course, of the 88 senators, there are many who have not declared them selves, and the polls are naturally guesswork. One states that there are 41 for Nicaragua, 35 for ranama and 12 in doubt. The doubtful ones in elude men who have said nothing, and if such a poll is correct it means that Nicaragua will carry. It is probable that there are about 42 men who, as the senate now stands, will vote for the Panama route. This ia not enough, but the advocates of Panama hope to secure three additional votes before the vote is taken. Immigration in May. New York, June 7. The official im migration figures for the port of New York for May, issued today, shows that 82,054 immigrants were landed during the month, as aginst 73,667 for April. ' Hobson In Politic.

The cabinet also went at length into certain matters connected with Cuban reciprocity meas ures, but no decision was reached. In asmuch as it appeared that Judge Taft had presented the instructions of the secretary of war to Cardinal Rampolla, Secretary Root will send these instruc tions to the Philippine commission.- WATER IN THE MINES.

More en gineers, firemen and pumprunnert obeyed the call of the miners' anion and struck today, bat in meet Instances the coal company officialt were able to fill the placet of the strikers. The Associated Press correspondent was informed by a mining official who has poeitive information on the subject that most of the mines in the Schuyl kill, region are accumulating water. The Readins; Cowpsny'e collieries, h pa te4 "In " that '. region, are the eUef sufferers. The collieries of the iLigh Valley Company and individual com panies in the same territory are also alowly filling. In the Hasleton, WiJkesharre and Scran ton districts the condition Is not so bad, only one mine here and there showing water. The Susquehanna Coal Company's colliery, No. 5, at Nanticoke. was forced to that down its engines, all the firemen refusing to go to work. This company furnishes the power for the water supply of Nanticoke, and unless the engines are again started the bor ough will have a water famine to con tend with.
