IIERR STEINIIARDI'S-NEMESIS J Si BY I. MACLAREN COBBAN. CHAPTER XII Continued. "It in not for me, Fraulein," I answered, "to ay how wicked he is. But I have told you he is behaving very harshly to the dead man's daugh ter more than harshly, for he has even hid her away in a strange town, to try every means to nmkeherniarry hie son, in order that he may not have to give an account of the dead man's property. And here is a letter which I have re ceived this morning from her other guardian, who was Herr Steinhardt's best friend when he first came to Eng land, and whom he has almost ruined. He has found the young lady, and taken her to his own house; but he fears he cannot keen her. for Herr Bteinhardt may now ruin him outright I must therefore return; and ttiis, Fraulein, is my only hope of effectual ly, hindering Herr Bteinhardt from, do- ing what he will by frigtening him with my knowledge. But I do not yet know enough to do that. It will thus be seen that I told Frau lein Haas just enough of the case to convince her of its urgency; but she guessed something I had not told her. "I understand now, Herr Pastor," she said, "why you are so interested in Emmanuel Steinhardt's crime; it is more love than vengeance that pushes you on. And that, too, Herr Pastor, will make you better understand why J am interested in Emmanuel Btein hardt." she said, simply, looking not at me, but at her thin clasped hands, "He was many years ago not the Herr Bteinhardt he seems to be now; he was good and gentle, though his heart and mind were set on being rich. But I detain you, ' she added, glancing up suddenly. Her hands tightened their clasp on each other. "If," she said, with rapidly growing vehemence, "I tell you what I have seen, in order that you may be able to deliver the dis tressed young Fraulein, promise me, Herr Pastor, for the sake of my past, and as you hope to be happy and peace ful in the future promise me that you will nse what I tell you only for the purpose you say, and that you will keep it, so far as ever you can, from becom ing public!" . I gave the promise at once without reserve. "Andl" she said, "you will leave Emmanftel Bteinhardt! punishment in the hands of Almighty God?" I answered I would though It was strange question to have to answer. Bhe then turned almost away from me, partly, I thought, that she might be less conscious of my presence, but more that she might concentrate her attention on her recollections. Her hands clasped and unclasped several times before they settled, the one in the other, and she began : "It was, I think, in the March month of a year ago. I had slept a loiig time very soundly, for I had been very tired, when suddenly I felt as if I were taken up and carried away far away; and I was made to look at Em manuel Bteinhardt. He looked at me as if he wished me to help him ; at his feet was a large wooden box, the lid of which, I was made to understand, would not close. From the opening protruded a 'human hand, strangely discolored. I awoke all trembling. I put out my own hand to make sure I was in my own bed ; my mother was sleeping quietly beside me. I tried to dismiss the vision from my mind fool ish dream, I thought it. But I could sleep no more. In two or three hours it was daylight, and I arose. I went about my duties all the day as usna I was busy, and had the impression of the vision much worn away when I went to bed in the evening rather early, because I was very tired. I had slept not very long, when seam I was as if seized up and whirled away, again to see Emmanuel Bteinhardt, with something at his feet again not now the wooden box, which was aside, but three packages of canvas. Again Em manoei Bteinhardt looked at me, as if he wished me to go to him, and again I awoke, all trembling." She paused in her story of the vis ions, took her handkerchief and wipod her damp brow with trembling hand. I watched her intently, a sensation of creoping excitement and mystery held me bound to her quiet but intense recital. She resumed suddenly, with out looking at me. "I slept no more that night fer thinking of what I had seen, and so I saw Emmanuel Bteinhardt no more; I tried to Bleep in order that I might, but I could not. A terrible night to me it was. But next night I 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 ground, and then turned away. I did not really wake, though I felt con scious I was in my own bed at the same time as I was held where he had left me, close to wall. After some time, how long I cannot tell, he came back with a rope. 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 aide of the wall and pull it over X do not know why I did not think it imnosKible for a single man to pull a wall down with a rope, but I did not. In a little while he pulled, and the wall fell flat, and, curiously, un broken, covering over the newly dug spot and ail arooand it. Then I awoke, as with the Doise, and slept no more. After that night I saw him again for several nigbta, for a dim moment or two, at the came nlaee. They were but glimpse, which, as the nights passed on, became dimmer and dimmer, and then ceased altogether until some weeks ago, when again 1 was summoned to Uce him at that same place with the fallen wall. He looked at me earnestly, and then over his shoulder at some one. whom I did not see. hut who I knew he reared was watching him. This happened three, four times, and then no more. There has been no more yet, but what may be, God only knows. That is all," she aid, with a sigh as of relief, turning to me. "And alow, Herr Pastor, you know what I have had to tell, and you will not forget your promise to me you will not set yourself to bring pun ishment on Emmanuel Bteinhardt." "I shall hold my promise to you, Fraulein," said I, "as sacred." Possessed as I was with the exciting thought engendered by her story, I was almost forgetting that I had no result ofmy mission w hich I could show or tell to bteinhardt, and the time at my dis posal must be very short. I looked at my watch; I had half an hour to spare. There was no time for the expression of wonder, or of any kind of fitting com ment npon what I had heard. Seeing me lock at my watch, s!i roe. "And now," he said, "you must go quickly, I suppose, to your hotel, and then to the station." ' Yes, 1 said. "But there is one thing, Fraulein, I had tlmost forgotten not of a painful sort," I made ,haste to add, for she had reassumeu her expres sion of close endurance and resignation. i came as Herr bteinliardt a messen ger, and I have no message I can carry back to him." ' She sat down again, took a sheet of paper from a drawer, and wrote in the middle of the page, in a small German hand, a few words, which she signed. When she had written she handed the paper to me, saying, "You may read I read (the words were in German) - "Repent, and turn away from your evil, before it is too late." This, enclosed in an envelope, and addressed, I put in my pocket for Bteinhardt. There remained now but one thing for me to do to say farewell to Fraulein Haas, the poor, lonely lady, who still with fond regret cherished ner memory ot a man wno was to me the greatest villain on earth. How I longed I could do something to cheer her life, say even some proper word of comfort and hope! But I felt hei spirit dwelt on heights too great for any commonplace words of consolation from rr.e to reach. I therefore Dade her a silent farewell. She held my hand a moment. ."If anything happen to him," she said, "you will send me word?" I answered I would; and the next moment she was turned away from me, and the next I wag out of the room, and had seen my last of Fraulein Haas. When I was in the train, rushing back toward England, I unexpectedly found that I was bearing away with me a pathetic memento of her, and that 1 had left her a memento of myself. put my hand into my pocket to find Birley's letter, but could find only the following lithographed form, instead I suppose I had taken it from her table when I meant to take up the letter which I bad laid down. The poor lady might have been looking at it before I entered her room. This was the form: "Meine Verlobung mit Fraulein Emilie Haas yon Liestal zeige ich hiemit ergebenst an Basel, November, 1854. "Emmanuel Bteinhardt." (My engagement with Fraulein Emilie Hass of Liestal I herewith make public in Basel) ' CHAPTER XIII. In what a fever of excitement, anx iety, and hope I made the journey home, I need not stay to describe. The story of Lacroix's fate I could now fill in to its last detail; I knew where his mutilated remains lay buried,. or at least I knew a Bpot 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 ac complish, even if I would, considering my promise to Fraulein Haas. But in the sequel I had my conviction re impressed that I was in this 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's; I had warned him of my coming by telegram from London. I found him waiting for me, and with him, as I had hoped, but scarcely expected, his ward Louise. I fear his cheerful greeting passed for almost nothing with me m 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 Bteinhardt, and was told that they had not yet seen him. What, I asked Birley, did he propose to do ii Bteinhardt 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 this house and then turn me out, he has a bill of sale on everything, and he has been holding it back for some time, to use it now, I expect, but Louise shan't go back to him, unless she likes; I'll find some roof to shelter me and her. Yea," said he, 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 shedding some tears on his shoulder. "There now there," said he, pat ting her. Then turning to me, "She means you, too, my lad." "Yes," said she, resuming her seat and looking down, "Mr. Birley has told me all you have done for me to find out about my poor father and all that he and you suspect, too. And I cannot oh, I cannot! she cried, hnddenng and pressing her hands to her eyes "look at that terrible, cruel man again!" "I could not help telling her, mv lad," said Birley, in answer to a look of reproach from me. "The old chap wrote questions to her about th' papers you found, and 1 had to explain.' "But," said I, in some alarm, "you know, Miss Lacroix, we must not, we cannot denounce him we must not, I donbt, say anything till we have some evidence that he is really the man. I think, I am sure, I soon shall have that evidence, but even then we must be careful what we say." This, I was glad to find, was not re garded as more than a general, though confident, expression of hope, so I was not asked awkard questions. Now that my anxiety concerning Louise wag for the time allayed, I felt exceedingly tired. I promised to call next day to tell them about my journey, and rose 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 hung in the hall, and, leaving the door adjar, walked with me to the gate. The air refreshed me, and, full as I was of Fraulein Haas's revelation, I felt impelled to tell Birley something of it. Thus, almost uncon sciously, wewakled away from the eat down the lane leading to the high road, and I was lei into telling him all, th more so that he did not seem sceptical of the value of he'e visions. Wa had thus left the house 'some minutes, how many I cannot tell, when several sounds like screams in rapid succ? soion rose behind us into the still night. We stopped together and looked at each other. 1 . "Tr the L d!" exclaimed Birley. "I left the door or""' We were hurried back by a common impulse. Wa found th door adjar, apparently as we had left it, but whea we entered and approached the room in which we had been siQing we beard Sleinhart's voice. "Well, 'Manuel," said Eirley, when we were in the room, "so you've come; I expected you wouldn't be long." Bteinhardt turned (Louise wat bed him from 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 as-Iced. "Were do you come from?" "From Basel," I answered, "where I was not wanted. Fraulein Unas wised to see you, not me; she is well, and it is for you she is anxious, not for herself. She sent you a line by me;" I handed him the letter. He impatiently tore the envelope, and read with a frown. I knew the words; I tried to read from his face how they affected him. Their point, I thought, found a joint in his harness; he evidently winced; he looked on the floor, on-this side and on that, as 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 be continued.) SIGNIFICANT NUM3ER SEVEN. Woven Into the Hlitary of the 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 num ber in the Bible, as well as among na tions of antiquity. In the Old Testa ment wa note that the Creator took seven days, and on the seventh was a sacred day of rest. Every seventh year was sacred, and the seven times seventh year ushered in a year of jubi lee. There are seven principal virtues faith, hope, charity, prudence, tem perance, chastity and fortitude and there are also seven deadly sins pride, covetousness, lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth. There were seven champions of Christendom St. George, England; Bt. Andrew, Scotland; St. Patrick, Ireland; St. David, Wales; St. Denis, France; St. James, Spain, and Bt. Anthony,, Italy. There were seven ages of man, also seven wise men of Greece. Christ spoke seven times on the cross. Rome was built on seven hills, and there are innumer able other traditions which go to prove that seven wag a number to cling' to. In these modern times it ia wonderful how often the number prevails, lot instance, vaccination must take place every seven years, in order to escape small pox : faiehiong change every seven years, and seven years is always a mile stone in a person's age. 7 He Wm in Need of Pity. A pious lady of Portsmouth had a husband who was a seaman. He was about to start on a protract ed voyage, and as his wife was anxious as to his welfare, she sent the follow ing notice to the village preacher: "Mr. Blank, who is going to sea, his wife desires the prayers of his con gregation." As the old lady was quite illiterate, the minister read the following to the congregation from the slip handed him: "Mr. Blank, who is going to see his wife, desires the prayers of the congre gation." London Tit-Bitg. Biggest Vend Afloat. The five-master now being built for Messrs. F. Laeisz of Hamburg will, when completed, be the largest sailing ship afloat. She will be named tho Preussen, her designated displacement being 12,000 tons and registered ton nage 8 000. The German built vessel exceeds in tonnage any of the A merlin live-masters and even exceeds the seven masted steel schooner now under con struction at the yards of the Fore River Ship A Engine company at Quincy, Mans., which has a displacement of 10,000 tons. . s Dune ai s Bear Tamer. The Duke of Gallarani, Prince of Molfetta, recently entered a cage con taining four Polar bears belonging to the Bernard menagerie, which is at present Btaying at Milan. He pro voked the animals, which roared furi ously, but they were Fooh mastered, and he then put them through several exercises. On coming out of the caita the prince was heartily cheered. Firit Aid. Greatly excited, the band of rescuers surrounded the missionary whom they had saved from the hands of the kid napers. Utterly weak and faint, she lay upon a cot, but smiled feebly at ber friends.

Many people suppose that all gold is alike when refined, but this is not so. An experienced man can tell at a glance from what part of the world a gold piece comes, and in some cases from what particular gold district the metal has been obtained. Australian eold, for instance, is distinctly redder than that from California. The Ural gold is the reddest found anywhere. George Waihlngton'i Map. The original map made by George Washington in 1775 of the lands on the Great Kanawha river, West Virginia, granted to him by the British govern ment in 1763, for his services in the Braddock expedition, is now in posses sion of the library of congress. The map is about two by five feet, and is entirely in the handwriting of Wash ington. Ns Hurry In Turkey. As an instance of the leisurely man ner in which the military authorities of Turkey move in time of peace it ia said that a committee appointed in 1900 to prepare plans for the construc tion of fortifications for the defense of the strategically most important points on the Turkish shores of the Persian gulf has just completed its labors.

And so the Senator carefully piloted the old gentleman through the devious passageways and helped him Into the elevator and finally conducted him Into Senator Quay's committee room. "This Is Senator Quay's room," he aald to the stranger. "Whom do you want to see?" "Senator Quay," was the response. "I am Mr. Quay," said the Senator. The old gentleman nearly collapsed.
