CHAPTER XIV.
Naturally, a pair of eyes dasiled by
the glare and brilliancy of the outer
world would be obliged to accommodate
themselves to the inner gloom of that
spacious drawing room ere they would
le able to distinguish objects with any
degree of certainty. This fact must have
forced itself upon Sylphide, otherwise she
would not have recoiled ao suddenly and
concealed herself as that pair of strange
eyea glared in through the blind upon
her. Gathering the fluttering gauze of
the window drapery about her, she stood
there, holding her breath, awaiting 8he
would hare found it difficult to explain
what.
Evidently satisfied that the drawing
room was deserted, the quick step became
stealthy, and stole along the piazza until
it reached the entrance to the main hall;
here, no impediment occurring in the way
of a stray servant, the intruder advanc
ed, and presently loomed upon the thresh
old in full view of Sylphide.
It proved to be a man of medium
height and slender proportions, lithe and
willowy in every limb. The figure, though
undersized, might have served aa a model
for an artiste The face had a lean, hun-
rrv look, intensified at that moment by
a rascally gleam in the deep-set, flashing
eyes.
Upon a table, within reach of Syl-
phide's ambush, lay a velvet case, upon
the satm cushion of wnich nestled
string of splendid pearls the bridal gift
of Lucian Courtlandt to Claire. The or
nament had been brought down stairs by
Martha Dunn in the hope that her young
distress would consent to wear it during

from the lovely emblems with a shudder
and Martha had forgotten their very ex
istence. Towards this alluring bait the
man now stole with outstretched hands.
In an instant Sylphide divined his nefa
rious intention, and an intelligent light
hot into her watchful eyes.
"The man I want!" she thought, with
the celerity of lightning; and as his
cramped fingers closed upon the gems.
he suddenly appeared, snatched the
necklace from his grasp, and in a swift
undertone she breathed:
"Silence! Not a word! I do not mean
to betray you, provided "
"Do you belong to the house?" falter
ed the fellow, pallid to the very lips with
terror.
"No, but I am sufficiently a friend of
these people to send you packing to Sing
Sing for a term of years. You are a
thief! Your name!"
. "Oamille."
"What brings yon here?"
"I came in answer to.an advertise
ment for a strong and honest man to
wait upon an invalid. Oh, madam, do
not be hard on me! spare me! perhaps
some day I may be able to do you a good
turn!"
"Me!" sneered Sylphide; "you are pre
sumptuous. No; I have a mind to de
liver you to justice."

suddenly. "The litle boy?"
"He goes with his governess also."
"Tell me has he been much with Mrs.
Courtlandt during the day?"
Uonstantly. He even Insisted that
she should sit with him while ht fell
asleep."
"Ah!"
Camille's sharp eyes were upon the
woman's face as the gasping exclamation
left her compressed lips. So great waa
her mental absorption that for the mo
ment she seemed oblivious to his scru
tiny, and Camilla had ample opportunity
to come to the astute conclusion:
"That child is her own! That's toy
clue to work on!"
"You are too much of an adventurer
to be a clown," she breathed; "whatever
else you may be, you are not stupid of
that I am morally certain. Now, listen
to me. So long as you remain In the ser
vice of Mrs. Courtlandt your wages are
assured to you, you will have some
thing in your pockets, but," and here her
burning eyes seemed to scorch his pallid
face, "but on the day that you shall
bring me tidings of the death of the
ifcfortiruite inva'td. that d:iy you sha'I
receive the five thousand dollars that you
would perjure your s u Jo obta :
Ten minutes later as Sylphide stood
alone before her mirror, she glanced Into
her distorted features, murmuring:
"Have I been talking to no purpose?
Can it be that he does not understand
me?"
Meanwhile, trudging homeward
through the blinding rain, his way ilium'
ined by the flare of the lightning, his
ears stunned by the crash of the thunder,
Camilla smiled gravely, aa he said to
himself:
"The question Is, am I in a hurry to
settle down on my farm, or am I not?
If I am, then that young woman won't
enjoy an entire season at Newport; if, on
the other hand, I am not B-rr-r!" as
he covered his eyes from the lightning.
"what touching confidence my friend.

same she is the mother of my child. I
have ceased to love that woman, hut
while she lives and lead an honorable
life I will not permit myself to love
agaiu!"
Kor an instant the hrtttRlity old lady
paused In intent thought; thru a vicious
smile crept into her steely eyes.
The approach of Camilla with the
morning's mail cut short thia Interview,
and the pair separated, I.uoian going in
the direction of the stables, while Mrs.
Courtlandt retraced her steps into the
house. Ift to himself, Camille crept
into the shadow of the beech tree, and
stealthily extracted a letter from his
pocket.
"Queer about this," he muttered, un
folding the mlmive, and mumbling over
Its contents: "'Had the invalid you at
tend already taken her passage for the
next world, you would now be sufficient
ly rich to go and live where you choose.
Your late irregularities iu Boston have
come to light, and are known to those
who have It In their power to crush you.
Consequently, K la the advice of an un
known friend not to delay longer, but
keep your eyea open to your interests.'
An unknown friend! Bah! It cant be
pretty Mrs. Hastings; how could she
know that I had ever set foot In Boston?
Whoever it Is they're on my track, and
the sooner I give 'em the slip the better."
ith a hasty glance about him, be drew
a phial of colorless liquid from his inner
pocket and contemplated It with a steady
scrutiny.
Small doses don't seem to be doing
the work," he muttered; "she's stronger
than I thought she was. Well, here goes
the whole for luck! Hit or miss, I've
got to nave my precious skin!"
W ith the sin nous glide of a serpent, he
crept to the table, and with a hand made
steady by desperate resolution, he emp
tied the complete contents of ;ae phial
into Claire's potion. For one instant he
stood, fascinated by the jewel-like bub
bles that rose tremulously to the surface
of the liquid and vanished f then sudden
ly he recoiled with a gasp of dismay.
"Camille!"
The voice that smote his guilty ear
was the voice of his innocent victim. He
raised his craven eyes.
Claire, with a kindly smile upon her
lips, had entered the umbrage of the
beech tree!
The sound of his fair young mistress'
voice set the guilty wretch to trembling

that flung its shade broadcast over the
lawn, hemmed by the world-famed duffs
of Newport.
Clad in a flowing peignoir of faintest
violet cashmere, her luxurious golden
bronze hair looped at the back of her
charming head with a silver pin, Claire
reclined in a deep Chinese chair, an open
book upon her lap. With both his chubby
hands spread upon the page, stood little

of snowy duck, his great black eyes fixed
upon his foster-mother a face with sol

The Illustration shows a torpedo boat In action, firing a torpedo direct

famous Whitehead torpedo, a type used by both the Japanese and the Rus

an awful hole In the Ill-fated ship which may be the object of attack, and

engines are driven by compressed air, and It Is prevented from rising or
sinking by a pendulum valve unci rudder, and kept on a straight course by
a spinning wheel attachment. The first lesson of the Uusxo-Japanese war

"Is it you, Camillle?" continued Claire,
advancing with her eyes set upon the
handful of snowy blossoms she held, her
lips firm and white with decision; "what
are you doing here?"
"I I was arranging Excuse me,
madam, I "
"I have nothing to excuse, my good
man," came the calm rejoinder, each
word she uttered piercing the listener's
ears like darts barbed with fire; "what
could I have to excuse In you, who are
all attention to my comfort? Since you
came to us I have never had the slightest
occasion to' reprove you."
"Madam is very good," faltered the
knave.
"And I can only thank you for all
that you have done for me," she con
cluded. "Will you do me the favor to
ask Dr. G restrain to come to me for a
minute? You will find him in the library,
I think."
Yes, madam."
His hand was outstretched towards the
fatal cup, but it fell heavily at 'his side.
Camille bowed and quickened his steps
across the lawn towards the villa.
"Perhaps she suspects," he said to
himself, conscience stricken.
The reckless wish found unexpected
fruition in the mind of Claire. She
rammed by the Oamperdown In 18D3.

"I will reflect."
"I am saved," thought tlie fellow, bow-

triumph that distorted his features.
"This evening, when you are at liber

aged hauteur, "you may come to the Inn

As she spoke, she replaced the pearls
In their casket, and closed the lid. Then
she lowered her veil, and leaving the
apartment, cronned the piazza, and took
the sunny path that led along the margin
of the lawn, down to the entrance gates.

weigh as much at one $5 gold piece?"
On a guess the visitor Bald fifty, and
tho clerk laughed. .
"I have heard guesses on that," he
said, "all the way from fifty to 600,
and from men who have handled mon
ey for years. The fact of the matter
la that with a $5 gold piece on one
scale you would only have to put six
and one-half dollar bllit on the other
scale to balance it ,
"The question waa afterward put to
several people and elicited answers
all the way from twenty to 1,000, the
majority guessing from 300 to BOO.
"Taking the weight of gold coins
and bills at the treasury, It was fig-
urcd that a $5 gold piece weighs .200
of an ounce avoirdupois. The employe
at the trensury who handled the pa
per money wild that 100 bills weigh
four and one-bulf ounces. That
would make one bill weigh .045 of an
ounce, and between six and seven bills
would balance the gold piece."
On the proposition of how much
money one can lift, figures wore ob
tained at the treasury. Where certain
numbers of coins were placed In bags

ple, the standard amount of gold coin
Is fS.OOO, which weighs eighteen and

Folsom, B. Dak. In these days
when so many sudden deaths are re
ported from Heart Failure and various
forms of Heart Disease, it will be good
news to many to learn that there Is a
never falling remedy for every form of
Heart Trouble.
Mrs. II. D. Hyde, of this place, was
troubled for years with a pain in her
heait which distressed her a great deal.
She -had tried many remedies but had
not succeeded in finding anything that
would help her until at last she began
a treatment of Dodd's Kidney Pills and
this very soon relieved her and she has
not had a single pain or any distress In
the region of the heart since. She
says: "I cannot say too mucti in
praise of Dodd's Kidney Til's. They
are the greatest heart medicine I have
ever- used. I was troubled for over
three years with a severe pain in my
heart, which entirely disappeared after
a short treatment of Dodd's Kidney
