Secame angered at the idea of his whole
life being ruined because of this repro
bate cousin, and he had put aside all
foolish scruples.
When Carol denounced him on that
night In the avenue of trees, he naturally
thought she was speaking OF the disgrace
that hung over him because OF his
cousins doings, when she declared that
''Nora Warner stood between thom."
His cousin was so excellently disguised
that he did not recognize him any more
than on the former occasion, when trav-
cling in Europe, and he met him as the
Russian count, the man with the black
glove.
What schemes the scoundrel had 1,
view, 1t would be hard indeed to tell, bu.
most certainly his designs upon his cousin
at that time had been frustrated through
some cause.
On the next night after the one on
which he had held that interview with
Carol, when fate had parted them never
more to meet, aS it seemed, some pow
erful motive drew Rogers footsteps in
the direction of the old mill. He know
aot why he went, and cursed himself
for his stupidity, yet some magnet drew
aim on.
It was the hand of Heaven!

known to inhabit the wing of the mill for
some years past, but what The other
meant he had not the remotest idea.
Then sudden fear assaiIed his heart
what ii the evidence of his crime had
already been discovered?
Whatever lay in his past, this man
was not a coward, so far as brute courage
was concerned, as has been already
proven on different occasions, but this
was the first time his soul hal been
stained with actual murder, and he qulv-
cred with horror at the thought of tho
doom awaiting him should his crime be
detected and brought home to him.
Soon the reaction came, and with it a
determination to climb up and see who it
was occupied the strong rooms of the
dead miller.
This was easily done, for trco grew
beside the building, and all that was nee
essary for him to do was to draw himself
up among the branches of this until he
came on a line with the little window
from whence the light proceeded
No sooner had the idea entered his
head than he fastened TO put it into exc
cution.
To climb the tree was an easy task,
and in very few minutes his head was
on level with the window. When his
eyes fell upon the occupant of the little
chamber his form seemed to turn into
Ice, such was the cold wave that shot
through his frame, and from his lips,
trembling with sudden fear, there fell
the words:
"My God, it is his spirit!"
He was gazing upon his last victim

murderous knife had sought.

A Steam Servant Girl.

Mrs. w. A. Cochran, of Shelbyville,
Ind, has placed her name on the role
with the great inventors of the world,
the result of her genius being a practi-
cal dishwashing machine. She began
experimenting ten years ago. Her
husband left her financially unable
for number of years to complete her
undertaking. By the aid of friends,
however, she finally succeeded, and
has Il machine designed to do the work
now done by the thousands of girls
and women the land over. The ma
chine is wonderful and intricate. 1t
is made in different sizes, for families
and hotel purposes. 1t is also made
both for hand and steam power, and
is capable of washing, scalding, rims
ing and drying from five to twenty
dozen dishes, of all shapes and sizes,
in two minutes, the number, of course,
depending on the size of the machine.
Mrs. Cochran has recently disposed of
her invention to an Illinois manu-
featuring firm for a large sum, and

in under the others chin, saying: You
see, we get so mixed up in our accounts at
night if we all pay altogether at once for
anything, so we just made up our minds
eoch to pay separately every time for any

himself by speaking in q cold, passionless
voice aud making pauses between words:
"Please take 55 cents for my ticket.

New York worid.l
Even the roughest New York street gsmin
has tender spot if the Kaleidoscope Of cir
cumstances shapes itself in such manner as
to appeal to his better nature. The boys of
the streets have their own battles to fight,
and they are quick to sympathize with a
helpless creature who is really in hard luck.
This was illustrated the other afternoon
when an italian peddler, pushing mis- RAM
shackle dray along Printing House Square,
struck protruding paving stone and upset
his cart. In a twinkling his bushel of pears
were rolling in all directions, and q score of
newsboys were after them. The Italian
stood in hopeless despair, wrung his hands
and burst into tears.
The astonished newsboys at first laughed,
and then, overcome by the poor fellows
grief, drew near cautiously and emptied
their well-flled pockets into the cart. Not
only did they do this, but they also took
hold vigorously and helped the now-enr
couraged Italian to gather up the fallen
fruit The pears were soon back in the
dray with not one missing, and the Italian
felt SO thankful to the gamins that he inn
mediately presented each one Of them with
e large pear. The boys laughed and soon
disappeared in the crowd. The Italian con-
tinued his journey with beaming face and
much better opinion of New York newsboys
than he had ever had before.

whistles had ceased their eternal din in the
mills along the river, that a big back wheel
steamer swung quickly out from the wharf
below Smithfeld street and started her pad
dies for 900 mile trip down the Ohio

Clouds had hung rather heavily over the
hills on both sides of the river all day, and
darkness closed in early, with droppings of
rain, forming the curtain drawn down to
shut out the last view of the ''Smoky City,"

boxes together which the boats tossed off to
them. Others, and most of them young
girls, worked swiftly and deftly at packing
the fruit as fast as the receptacles were

melon farms on the entire river. This
patch covers good slice of the island, and,
though the melons are in some cases not
larger than a mans hand and scarcely ever
bigger than his head, they possess all the
richness of flavor and beauty of color that
belong to the larger and higber-rated fruit.

water near the melon farm, q number of
skiffs were clustered near the rivers edge
