 "Wcll, ten will do."
 "At ten l begin muscular exercise, the neck and chest movement and ankle exer- cise."
 "Elcven, then"
 "At Il take my Turkish, which brings me home to lunch with you at 30"
 "Then surely, dear"
 "How inconsidcrate. dear. have m en- gagement with the manicure nt two sharp, and at 30 the lady who does my hair and complexion"
 "Good heavens, you don't mean -"
 "That l paint or bleach my hair. o, no ; but it is now customary for ladies to put their hair out to regular artists, massage and oil and electric needles, you know, to strengthen the facial muscles, prevent wrinkles and remove superfiuous hairs."
 "But you re pretty enough"
 "One must be beautiful, William. Nero prettiness Is passe. At three o'clock play tennis, which calls into action and develops one set of muscles. At four mount the tricycle. for the same reason. From five to six go through my posing or drawing room exercises, and after dinner"

CHAPTER XII mYYn AH6r-nn

Our ancestors used to chucklc hugely over the joke Mrs. Glass perpetrated in her famous Book of Cookery" when she an- nounced that you must catch your hare be- forc you proceed to cook him, and Harry found himself ill much the same position as tho worthy matron's readers. He must first catch his hare. And the hare in Ques- ton proved to be of such a shadowy char acter, that after two days hunting he was compelled for tho present to give up the pursuit.
 Of course he at once left Mrs. Platt's house. He felt like dlscordant element In the home-circle, for it is not very pleas ant thing for man to sit at the same table :..ch ladies whose son and brother he is de- termined to bring to tho gallows
 But, though he learned many particulars concerning the widows son, who was de- clared by several who knew him to be mo- torious scoundrel, who had been drummed out ef the regiment in which he had en- listed, and was now supposed to have drifted utterly to tho bad, he could glcan no tidings of his present whereabouts. No one had seen him. No ono wanted to sec him. So Harry went back to his regiment at darper's Ferry without bringing the scoundrel to justice.
 Then tho cry was "Sheridanr Brave, gallant, dashing Phil was to lead the troops to victory. So under this renowned Gen. eral they turned their faces once more westward along the Shenendoah Valley. It was hot work for the cavalry. Little Phil kept them well in advance, exploiting and developing the enemy; but for time not closing with him-a delay which caused Grant somo anxiety, for he camo in person to sec how matters stood, but was SO satis- lied with his Lieutenant's perfect prepara- tions, that he went back to his post at Petersburg.
 But ono day the crisis came. They were near the quaint old city of Winchester and struck the Confederate army at tho ford of the river.
 "Threes about, men, charge p'cried Colonel Brewer, who commanded Harry's regiment, and the gallant squadron dashed headlong on the Toe, driving them back to the very

"Ycs, yes, know. My uncle wrote me all about the sad affair.""
 "Then surely you will tell mo into whose hands the chain passed when 1t left your pOssessionf''
 "I can not, Major Winthrop. Please con- sidcr that it is utterly and absolutely i'm possible for mo to give the information you demand"
 "Your silence may bo construed to your disadvantage"
 "I know it; still will not speak,"
 Thus foiled. Harry resolved to postpone tho attempt to drag the information from Mckenzie, who was evidently implicated somehow or other in the murder, when Q circumstance occurred which put now phase on the position of affairs.
 They had retired carly; but the night was sultry, and Winthrop, who could not sleep, had drawn chair to the window of his room, which overlooked small garden Suddenly his attention was attracted to the figure of man crouching behind Q row of lilacs. Thcre was sharp, shrill whistle twice repeated and answered by some ono in tho window of tho room, which Harry know was occupied by Lieutenant McKcn- zie. Presently the side door of the house was opened, and ho saw the young man go forward in tho direction of the lilac trees ill whose shadows he lost sight of him. For a timo he heard nothing but the muttering voices of two men speaking, but as their conversation became moro animated, the words were moro distinct. He was just on the point of closing his window, when tho mention of his own hamc attracted his at tentiOn.
 II tell you Major Winthrop has his sus- pcions already. Ho hinted as much to me this afternoon" The speaker was Mo kenzic
 W ho cares for Major Wmthropp was the gruff reply.

disconsolately leaning against fence, and whom he at once recognized as the hero of the Jackson dispatch episode.
 "And you are Harry Winthrop!" was the cordial response. "Ah, this is Q glorious surprise, for we all thought you were dead"
 "Yon thought me deadp'
 "Indeed we did. Your friend, Lecroix, brought the news to our place last fall. He said, think. that you had fallen in a raid with some of Moseby's men, and that, though he had performed prodigies of valor in your behalf, life was extinct when he reached your side"
 What object could he have in concoct- ing such tale as thatr' Harry asked, in dismay.
 "Oh, suppose he wanted to get on tho blind side of Kate, for whom he has al- ways evinced a sncaking kindness" was the careless reply:
 "And Kates You havo not yet told mo how she Is faring"

He Had Boen Fixed.

A little darkey boy was recently brought before the police court of Richmond, Va, charged with some trifllng offense, He asked to havo his case postponed for one day, so that he might bring as witness another darkey boy who would exonerate him. The next morning his friend was in court, but, to the surprise of every body, his testimony was entirely against the ac. cused boy and resulted in Q conviction. When tho prisoner was asked to explain this fact he remarked, philosophically: ''Oh, he dono been seen since sawn him."

"TuEnE-TuANK YOU-I AM NOT MUCH uURTn every cont you could call your own away, but you must add thcft to your mad follya"
 "You moan that cursed watch and chain l'
 do. It is no usc for you to deny that you took 1t, for l saw you glide from tho window tho night you robbed mo. Yet, for your sistcr'S sallc, have kept tho crime n secyet.''
 "I toll you I'll get 1t back for you," was tho sulky response.
 "You must do moro. You must tell mo who has possession of 1t. am almost frenzicd whom I think of what may be pos sible. know tho grudgo you boro poor Barclay; I heard you threaten him that night at Charlottesville. You shall not leave this place tonight until you havo made clean breast of every thing"
 And who's to hinder mc'"
 Thero was then sharp scufflc, and Harry dropped from the window and flew to the spot, just ill tiTle to catch ill his arms Nc Kinzio's reeling form and see the figure of 0 man drop to tho other side of tho boarded fence.
 "There-thGnk you-I am not much hurt" the young man cried, while he clung to Harry so consistently that pursuit after tho fugitive was impossible. Ut was only 6 fellow I knew in better days-he was un- fortunate-we had somc words-and you sec my sickness has not left mo very strong. Pray come quietly back to tho house. would not for great deal disturb tho ladies in their slumber."
 Harry thought for moment before he re- piled. He had not Q shadow of doubt but that this young Platt, who apparently was tho ne'er-do-well son of his hostess, was his friends murderer, but he shrank from duplicating the man, who was about to mar ry the ruf1an's sister, i'll his conviction. So, acting on this impulse, he said, as uncon- cernedly as though receiving disreputable acquaintances in gardons at midnight were common occurrences: "Well, let us go back to bed, my dear fellow, and if were you, I wouldn't wander about by starlight till was little bit stronger"
 But in his heart of hearts he sworc that 1t should go hard with the festive MT. Platt If once he could got upon his track.
