mall.
Correspondence Neto Iork World.
PARIS. March 5>-Aonday evening about
II o'clock the Due d'Elehingen called at the
residence of his aid Duyivier, accompanied
by three hardIooking men, one of whom
went up to the apartment to request DuVivier
to come down and speak to the Duke. The
Duke requested him to 20 and inform the
Duchess that lie would not be at home the
next day either for breakfast or dinner. This
did not surprise Duvivier, as the Duke was
in the habit uf absenting himself for two or
three days. He went Immediately to see the
Duchess to give her her husbands message,
and she ha11ded him dispatch just received,
tant.'' The dispatch was. from st. Peters
burg, and said: STOOD luck for your eXpedi-
tion tonight" 1t WAS signed by name not
known to any one.
''If you care for your son~in~law, his life Is
III your hands, and tn preserve it YOU must
send Duyiyiei Tomorrow in full Uniform to
the Place du Chateau dEau with 700, 900
men. to whom he should hand Il pocket-book
combining the money"
Nine. Iieine went to the police and gave
such information as she had, and the next
day Duyivier went to the place indicated,
ami Mr.. Mace, Chef dc la Santc, said to him:
81 Do not appear to recognize Inc, as have
been followed since left the Prefecture"
as lie was saying this the three men aD-
peared, and seeing Mace speaking with Duvi-
low them in his cab, but lost trace OF them.
Duviyier returned to Niue. Heines. just
after his arrival 4 note was brought by a
commissioning, saying: You have de-
nnunced us to the police; you have not been
willing to give 900 francs to save the
life of you soh,in.law:, The result
is your own fault'' Below this was written,
"rhis is true" in tha Duke Of Elcllingen's
handwriting; and after this was written.
81 Yuu are rich enough to give GQ0, 600 francs
to save the life Of your son-ln- law, for yUll
rent for him a house at Chatillon at $500
francs ayear.''
The police were at once informed, but all
their perQuisisiols were III vain at tile two
houses the Duke had III the city for his own
purposes. At Chatillon he was found in the
cellar, the area door being locked with two
bullets in his head and ali unloaded pistol ar
his side. ,.-..
Was it murder. or suicide? The police are
reticenr, but as the Duke was a General Of
Division and was buried without any mill
tary hunors. there must have been soule-
thing wrong in the business. Nine. ueine
in the past eleven months has paid over q
million of francs OF blackmaii- Before she
paid the last 500 GOO francs 4 few months
since she had q terrible scene with the Duke,
and swore she would not pay another penny.
He said he was disl1onoreu If she did not pay
it. It Is quite obvious thatthere are features
Of the story which 10 one cares to disturb.

the worse were its fiImy wings tangled

JACK HASTINGS CHOICE.

To say the sun had been hot would
not in the least do it justice. 1t had
shOne from early morning until night,
not even the smallest clOnd had inter-
fered to moderate for a moment Its
heat; and now that the hour was come,
when. according to established usage, it
must set, it seems to have gathered all
its energy for final effort, and hangs
in the western sky like ball of fire,
lighting up Nahant's beach for long
stretch and rejecting in the placid
water an image almost as brilliant as the
original.
The scene is really beautiful, but Door
humanity has suffered so much from
that luminary that it is totally unable
to appreciate its parting salute. One
poor mortal is devoutly grateful, and
sits On the piazza of the principal
hotel. his chair tipped back. his feet
on the railing and cigarette in his
mouth. contemplating the sunset with
decided satisfaction. At this moment
another individual appeared on the
scene.
''Hot, amt it?'
"Con'ounded," replied our friend of
the cigarette. and offers one to the new
conner who takes it, pushes back his
hat and assumes position almost as
graceful as our friend, and falls to con-
templating the water and the sunset.
The new conner is a man of about five
and twenty years. His light hair falls
ON broad, intellectual forehead, his
mouth is proud and sensitive, and the
upper lip is adorned with a mustache
that men take genuine delight in. His
eyes are quiet blue, in which there is a
drift of humor; although the face is very
pleasing and the large stalwart figure
which accompanies it makes the man
decidedly worth looking at. This is
Raymond Lester.
His companion is entirely different
Jack Hastings best friend never VEN
tured 90 call him handsome. His eyes
are large and dark and have in them a
dissatisfied expression. He does not
revel. as does Lester, in q fine mus
tache. his face is smooth, and his mouth
is perhaps trifie large. but his teeth
are fine. and when Jack Hastings laughs
one feels like racking his brain for some
thing to provoke his mirth afresh.
Jack Hastings is favorite. and this
summer he is decided hero, for he has
a history, and all the young ladies are
devoutly interested in him in cOnse-
quence. Last winter the news came to
Jack that an uncle in England had died
and left him a considerable fortune on
condition that he marry a niece of the
old man. VINO had lived with her uncle
ever since her infancy, and in case Of
his not complying the fortune reverted
to the niece.
