"Doctor," now queried Mr. Let, "what
course U next to be pursued?"
"We mint go to the porter' lodge, on
the premises I think the keeper is itill

false baron bat reigned in hla stead."
The gentlemen acquiesced in the plan,
and silently wended their way to the now
deserted hull. They did not take the
front entrance to the grounds, but gained
it by a shorter route, emerging at the
rear of the house, and to passing unseen
to the clump of bnahes, behind which
was the entrance previously used by Dr.
Klfonxteln.
Once In the corridor, they hastened to
the end near the tower stairs, and there
wide open, exposed to view through atlll
parted panels and displaced shelves, lay
tbt concealed room which for twenty
flvt years had held poor Sir Arthur
prisoner, Just as the Journal had de
tcrilied it.
Krery link was now perfect! The hor
rible tale was true! If further confirma

hape of the one note written by Regi
nald to hla brother, when be had given
him pen, Ink and paper, at hit earnest
request. This note fell from I bonk that
Mr. Lee picked from the table. Lawyer
Huntley knew the writing at once, as be
had often received notes from the false
baronet, In relation to legal matters.
Having discovered all that could be
don that day, the three gentlemen wend
ed their way from the place, and after
returning to their homes for their even
lug meals, they all derided to meet at the
Village Inii, and there make known the
contents of the mysterious wallet.
CHAPTER XXII.
It was the morning after the events re
lated In the last chapter bad taken place,
that Ethel ant alone In Lady Clair Lin
, wood's private boudoir, apparently en
gaged with soma pretty funcy work, but
In reality more occupied with her own
ad thoughts tben the needlework,
During the weeks she had been In this
place everything had been done to pro
mote her happiness. She was ever treat
ed with the greatest kindness, and by
Lady Clulre wlllr true affection. She
bad entered into all her puplj't pleasures
with seeming sympathy when her soul
u tven most cant down. How beauti
ful everything looked to her weary eye
tt the cast them from the window! How
full the air was of fragrance, from flow
era and bush, and how merrily a starling
wat tinging from the branches of an old
elm tree near by! Hut this Innocent glee
woke no answering echo In ber own
heart; there all was desolation and sor
row, She felt o lonely In tills her youth
no mother, aunt, relative near In whom
to And sympathy and love. Yes, she was
utterly alone, and would be until claimed
by an unknown father; and when the
Blight be cheered by the love of one true
heart, her misfortunes had alienated its
reepect, and all she could do wat to
constantly bottle with her own self, and
ttrlve to overcome the unfortunate at
tachment that was wearing upon her
health and spirits.
- To-day, the more the resolved to for
get this man, the more aha Hulled over
Lis coldness, the more fondly she retuem
berod him, and told herself tt wat her
own want of franknea and the suspt
cioua circumstances lu which h hud
found her placed, that had shaken hit
confidence In her Integrity, and merited
only hit acorn. Hut, bound a the had
been to solemn secrecy, the could not
conceive how she could have acted dif
ferently, and the felt convinced that, in
eraer to ue true to t tie trust Imposed up
en her, aha had dona no wrong.
So deep had been her reverie that the
heard no bell, no opening door, no sound,
ud not until the words, "Mis Nevergail.
I hop I do not interrupt you," fell upon
ber ear did ah dream that she waa not
lone.
Starting to her feet, she turned to face
Dr. Klfenstoin. She would have extend
ed her hand and welcomed him Joyfully
but hi grave, almost stern looks deterred
Iter, and as ha offered no further greet
ing, she merely assured hi in ah was
perfectly at leisure, and then wheeled up
large easy cliulr lor lit use.
Not noticing the latter, however, the
doctor took lighter one, and placing It
oppoalta the one she hud resumed, aald
be sat down:
"I am glad to find you alone, at my
business Is Important, and concerns no
one, but onrsclve. The footman told
me at the door that the family wer ab
sent, and I would find you here."
"They are abtent for the day, and,
therefore, I am at your acrvlce."
"The nature of my business, I fear,
may ttortle you, but I feel that I ought
not to forego It on that account. I shall
be obliged to ak you several question
that you may dislike to answer, but. Miss
Nevergatl, allow me to say, at a preface,
that perfect frankness on your part will
be the beat In the end. Certalu thing.
lately transpiring, have led me to regret
exceedingly that I did nut use my own
Judgment that evening when we were to
gether In the corridor at Ulendenning
Hall, and search for the cause of our
fright. I came to talk with you a little
upon your career while In that house.
Had you, aa I suppose, any especial rea
son for not wiwhing that caudle lighted,
nd search made?"
Foor Ethel! She knew not what course
to take now to regain bis esteem. Cer
tainly ahe could only falter, while a
burning bluvh mantled cheek and brow:
"I had, but I cannot explain It."
"Are you ashamed to tell the reason?"
"Not ashamed, doctor. Save for what
I did under compulsion In the tower, I
have no cause for shame."
"Then you certainly are very dif
ferent person from the one I took you
to be," waa the cold reply. "Mlse Ner
ergail, allow me to tell you that t mort
Infamous crlm was never committed
than the one you, an Innocent appearing
young girl, aided tnd abetted by your
help while In that tln-etalned house."
"Doctor Elfensteinl" exclaimed Ethel,
rising to her feet, surprise and horror
blending together on each of her beauti
ful features, and wonder and dismay
tettling In her large haiel eyea; "what
It tills you are laying to me? It I un
derstand aright, you are accusing me of
being an accessory to tome dark crime!
Speak! Did I understand you to mean

Author of " Rot Rosskll'i Rule,"
"Thb Fashiokablb MoTHEk, " Etc.
"Then, sir," returned the . Indignant
girl, drawing up ber alight figure to itt
full height, while a queenly dignity
reigned In each motion, even though ev
ery particle of color left both check and
lip, "then, air, all I thai) say lu reply
U that you accuse me fulsely, and In do
lug to you cease to be my friend!"
"But, Mix Nevergail, reflect one mo
ment. Had I not been your friend I
hould wish no explanation. I am your
friend, while I desire to be sure of your
lunocence. You say, and I rejoice to
hoar you affirm It, that you art guilUitts.
Will you not relieve my mind of these
doubts by telling me frankly the nature
of your occupation while at the hall V
Clasping her hands together In anguish,
the poor girl only answered: "Would that
I might, but I cannot!" ,
"Then, Miss Nevergail, I Shall be
obliged to tell you that all has been dis
covered, and that your horrible secret Is
known."
"0, thank heaven! Can It be possible!
I'leaee go on, for I am anxious to hear
all you know, hut dare not utter one
word!" exclaimed Ethel. '
"You must learn then, that your night
ly wurk was to carry food to a certain
concealed room, place It upon revolving
shelve, and "
"Doctor, you do Indeed know all; then
now am I free to speak, at no secret will
be revealed by me? Those thelves were
knocked over, and the ape escaped that
night. It was bis dreadful howl that so
frightened us. Tell me, hat the nnlmal
been recaptured, and returned to the
owner?"
"Ape? Owner?" queried- the doctor,
surprise illuminating each one of his
speaking features. "What can you
mean?"
"Yes; Sir Reginald said It wat kind
never before eeen of that speclee. He
was keeping It concealed, until the owner
returned with other extraordinary curios
ities, he was abroad collecting. When
he did return, all were to be exhibited.
The fact that ha kept its existence se
cret, and made me .take t solemn oath
never to rivenl It, wnt certainly no
crime. It wat absurd, and the absurd
ity sprang from a love of money, but in
consenting to preserve the creature's life
by giving blm food, during his lord
ship's lllneia, I did it only because he
was nervous, and teemed to worry so
much over Its helplessness.' I saw noth
ing wrong In It, and aa It was not sinful,
I am not suborned of It."
While she thus spoke, a change, In
deed, came over her llntener. Surprise
gave place to hope, hope to Joy, and at
the last words wer uttered, the dotor
had risen and clasped both her hands In
hla, while he exclaimed:
"I sw It all now! I have been rash.
harsh and cruel In my Judgment, and
scarcely dare ask yon to forgive me. But
I must be forgiven, or I can never rest."
'You are forgiven. Rut let ma hear
how this animal was discovered, and also
how he looks? As I fed him to long, and
he frightened me so terribly, I should be
one ol the first to know."
"You shall hear the whole story at
once. Come to the sofa, dear Ethel, tnd
let me hold your hand In token of peace,
being fully established bejween ue. First,
then, lot me tay you were deceived. The
man culling himself Sir Reginald Glen
deniilng concocted an .Infamous He for
your benefit, when he told you that an
animal was concealed In that room. It
was no ape, but hla own poor brother, Sir
Arthur, whom for twenty-five year he
held chained to the floor alone, dead to
the world, in that horrible prison."
"Oh, doctor, doctor! can this be true?"
exclaimed the poor girl, shuddering deep
ly at hla word. "I (id I Indeed push that
wretched food to a human being? It la
too terrible to believe! I cannot endure
the thought!"
"You did; but be calm, for heaven
ordered It to be ao, Remember that, and
that through you he obtained knife,
which aided him at last to escape."
"Never can I forget the anxiety I felt,
after committing what I then thought a
terrible blunder, I feared the ape would
kill himself. When he escaped that night
1 knew after a few minutes that It was
the supposed animal, and fearing the
discovery of ita existence through my
means, I prevented you from examining
the place, I had taken a solemn vow
never to reveal his being In life, neither
the fact of a concealed room."
Ethel then went over her whole expe
rience while at the hall, to which Earle
listened with Intense Interest, ending
with Sir RcKlnnld't rough usage when
she was dismissed, to which he also
listened with fierce Indignation,
When Dr. Elfennteln, In return, told
hla lUtcncr that Rev. Edwin C. ft tie"
and Sir Arthur were one, her aatar.e
ment knew no bounds, and with breath
less Interest she listened to the whole
tragic story.
"What hat been done with the body?"
"It was taken to Ulendenning Hall this
morning, where it Ilea in state. The ser
vants all returned, and I have loaned
.Mrs. t'liini to the place until I come back
from America, as wtiHe abiseut uiy cot- I

"Are you going to leave ns, doctor?"
murmured his companion, In dismay, at
the heard these words, and he felt the
hand he still held tremble and grow Cold
In his clasp.

PIANOS IN GERMANY.
Enormous Product of Fin Instrw
menu at Half the Americas Price.
E. L. HarrU, United Btatea commer
cial agent at Elbenstock, Germany, hai
lately transmitted to the State Lie
oartmeut In Washington, tome Inter
esting Information on the aubject of
the piano Industry in Germany. Among
other things he says:
"The manufacture of pianos In Ger
many has reached a state of perfection
attained by no other nation. Admitting
that In other countries particular firms
produce Instruments which In every re
spect are e'iil to the best German
niake, It Is claimed that as an Indus
try, considering; the number of facto
ries and the high exports to nearly
every country In the world, the man
ufacturers of this empire are a long
distance In advance of all their rivals,
In spite of the enormous sale of pianos
every year within the limits or tne
empire, the manufacturers are depend
ent upon the markets of foreign coun
tries for the snle of fully one-half of
the number produced. The Bucces of
the German piano Is due to the fact
that they are cheap, comparatively
speaking. Two hundred and fifty dol
lars will buy very fine piano In this
country. The construction Is always
apace with the latest art designs, spe
cial attention belntf paid to the wood
work; they not only present an ele
gunt appearance, but are solid and
durable." '
With this Introduction Mr, Harris
goes on to tate that there are 4115
plauo factories in Germuny, which
manufacture 80,000 Instruments . an
nually. Of this number 140 are lo
cated In Berlin, 27 In Stuttgart, 21 In
Dresden, 18 In Leipzig, 15 In Ham
burg, 10 In Lelgnltz, 0 In Zeltz, and
the remaining 107 In Munich, Halle,
and Brunswick. In the past 20 years
the export of pianos from Germany
has Increased from $1,900,000 to $0,
110,000 annually. Great Britain is at
present Germany's best customer, buy
ing 40 per cent of the total exports,
although prior to 18'.K) the Argentine
Republic, which now ranks second, was
the best market for German pianos.
Belgium ranks next after Great Brit
ain and Argentine, and then comes
Australia, which takes $1,000,000
worth of German pianos annually.
Russia $t,000,000 worth and Holland
$1,000,000; Brazil, Norway, Sweden,
South Africa and Chile coming next In
order. Mr. Harris also tells us that
Germany Is a Inrge manufacturer of
stringed Instruments, the chief facto
ries being located In the towns of
Markneuklrchen, KUngenthal, Mitten
wald, and Johanngeorgenstadt. The
first named town sold $(184,000 worth
of violins, mandolins, etc., to the
United States last year. .
"The manufacturer of the different
parts of stringed Instruments," he
states, "1 carried on clricfly In the
worker's own home."
ORIGIN OF TERM "TWO BITS."
Often Heard in New York Where
Southerner and Westerners Flock,
"Did you ever hear the expression
'two bits' used as an equivalent for a
quarter of a dollar?" asked a New
Yorker. , "The term Is commonly used
lu the som.li and west, and one fre
quently hears It In New York. Not one
person In a thousand even of those
who habitually use the terra knows Its
origin.
"Even as late as the close of the
eighteenth century the Bllver coinage
of the United States hud not super
seded the Spanish 'milled' dollar in
the west and south. Fractional cur
rency was particularly scarce, and to
obtain this the Spanish 'milled' dol
lar was cut up to mnko change. Halves
and quarters, of course, suggested their
own numeci, but when the quarter was
cut In two, the word 'eighth' was dis
carded for 'bit,' a small slug having
the value of twelve and one-half cents.
Many curio collectors have these slogs
In their posaoMHlon, although, of course,
they have long since gone out of use
as currency.
"So with 'thrlp,' used in New Or
leans and the vicinity aa au equiva
lent for the nickel or five-cent piece.
'Thrlp' Is merely an abbrevlataen of
threepence,' the colli of that value
once lu general use, representing about
the same amount of money as a five-
cent piece."
Hero Without Honor.
An anecdote about Gen. Miles con
cern an innocent professional. It wn
in an uptown hotel. A number of
men were gathered around listening to
the speaker, slender ind rather
magnetic man.
"Yes," he was saying, "I was In
the midst of It at Santiago!"
"Were the Spaniards good fighters?"
, "Rather. Hut I took five or them
unaided officers, too In Cuba, and
two more lu Forto Rico."
."May I ask who you are?" Inquired
the general.
"Yes, Indeed. I'm Mr. Cllnedlnat,
the photographer, from Washington,
and I took you, too, lu l'orto Rico."

COW AND COWARD.
Why Should the. Placid Borin Inspire
Terror in the Feminine Breast. ,
"Coward on who Is afraid of a
cow!" shouted a derisive small brother
across a atone wall, moved. to a sodden
fury of definition . unauthorized by
Webster or Worcester." HU lter, a
few years older than be, wa clamber
ing wildly over the wall, panlc-itrlek-en
by the apparition of a mild and
mooing procession lumbering barnward
from round corner of the lane.
Why are women, not country bred,
Instinctively afraid of cowi? What
Is there terrible In a cow, except that
It is big? But tben, what Is there ter
rible In a mouse, except that It la
small? Both forms of fear are pui
zllng; both are amusing to the onlook
er, but real and painful to tie sufferer.
Both are a matter of the nerves; and
both, fortunately, are disappearing as
an athletic outdoor life gives health
and nerves and courage to women.
Most women still dislike mice; but a
mouse among an assembly of women
no longer create an uproar, and even
he who shudders and skip to safety
on a sofa neither shriek nor collapses
lira faint upon her perch, as our fore-
mother were not ashamed to do.
There Is a like Improvement In the
relation of women to cows. Most wo
men yet prefer cow at a distance; but
they are learning fast to endure, to
confront, to defy, to "shoo," yes, even
at need to milk the monster before
which they were wont to flee In terror
with outcries of dismay, or to appeal
abjectly for help to the nearest freckle-
faced boy of but a fraction their age
and Inches.
The tramping girl, the camping girl,
the camera girl, the golfing girl, the
botanizing girl all And it alike Incon
venient and humiliating to pamper
their fear of cow If fear they have.
It has become a thing to conquer.
Moreover, one who has conquered It de
clares there are few prouder moments
In the life of woman than that In
Which she first successfully "shoos" a
cow. Tarasol, stick, or even stalk of
mullein or waving fern-frond In band
anything to give the sense of being
armed she braces her soul for mar
tyrdom and keeps the middle of the
path, heroically Indicating to the ap
proaching .cattle that It Is for them,
nevermore for her, to take to the ditch
when space Is insufficient.
There is a breathless, an awful In
stant then a great hoof splays spat
tering Into the mud, the dun bulk of
the lender lumbers clumsily aside with
cow-bell clashing, the others, turning
large eyes Inquiringly upon her a tbey
pass, follow suit, and victory Is hers!
Henceforth the twilight hour, loveli
est of all in country byways, has lost
Its terrors. Her cowardice overcome,
ahe can even welcome ai an added
charm In the tranquil scene of unper-
turblng presence of the picturesque,
placid, slow, sweet-breathing cow.
