had to take his heavy weight son along
with him.
When they we're once moro seated in
one of the elegant suite of rooms which
Mrs. Delaro occupied, Armida was tho
first to speak
"Where is Mr.. Breezy? Did he not
say he would wait until we returned?"
probably he felt too unwell to re-
main and went to his hotel,' said her
mother, but no sooner had she uttered
the words than her maid came into the
room crying and sobbing: sob, Mrs.
Delaro, they have taken Mr.. Breezy to
the police station, and there has been
terrible trouble here"
''Taken Mr.. Breezy to the police sta
tion-why what do you mean?" asked
Mrs. De1aro.
AS we'll as she could, in her excited
state, the girl related how one of the
porters, in passing the door which was
slightly ajar, had seen Mr.. Breezy stand
ing over Miss Armida's writing desk
trying to open it. The man watched
him until he had opened it and when
Mr.. Breezy had his hat on ready to leave
he rushed in and seized him. The
porter naturally felt justified in placing
him under arrest as he caught him with
bundle of Bank of England notes in
his fingers.
''Surely, there must be some horrible
mistake about it ALL" said Armida.
''There is no mistake at all, miss"
said the garrulous girl, "for they have
locked him up at the police station, and
he will be taken before the magistrate
in the morning."
Still Armida could not believe it, and
was determined to go and see Eugene;
but as she could not go alone, she ac-
cepted Mr.. Blodger's offer to accompany
her.

II the words had been magic they
could not have had a quicker or stronger
influence on the policeman. He was i'm
stantly awakened to the seriousness Of
the situation and in less time than IL
takes to write it he had manac1ed the
accused man, and was bearing him of
towards one of the offices, telling Mrs.
Delaro and Percy to follow him.
Mr.. Blodger, Armida, and Stephen
Blodger, Jr., had Immediately followed
Mrs. De1aro to ascertain what tho ex-
traordinary movement on her part
meant, and as Mrs. Delaro followed the
policeman, Armida drew near to her
and excitedly asked: Mother, dear,
what does all this mean?"

"Hush child-the man who murdered

Armida had almost forgotten that her
father had been murdered, but this
was no time for explanations. and Ar
mida did not ask for one. but she did
ask: 'Who is that man walking on
the left of the policeman. mother?'
'sPercy Lowell, my dear, whom we
have SO long mourned as dead"
Then, without any regard to appear
ances, the impetuous girl rushed after
Percy, and shook his hands with a
hcartiness that gave both him and her
mother great pleasure, but which would
have smothered Eugene's hopes for
ever had he witnessed the deep genu-
ineness of her welcome.
A moment later the policeman took
his prisoner into the Office, aud Mrs.
Delaro and her party followed. During
all the time the prisoner did not utter
a word. He was allowed to sit down,
and when once he raised his blanched,
terror-stricken face, Armida immedi-
ately recognized it.

Eugene and his father were closeted

II am convinced it is nothing but my
poverty which keeps that girl from
loving me; she is as proud as an old
Spanish countess, but I will humble
her yet You can count on me to lend all
the assistance you require in securing
that fortune which lies waiting for an
owner, and the sooner we commence

Persuasion had failed to destroy the
young mans, morals, but the green
eyed monster had gained an easy
victory over his good intentions.
''Now you are talking sense, my boy.
We will get to business at once. 1 have
a man ready to go to New York and I

divide with US when the time comes.
So the sooner you get that handwriting
the better. If you have any smartness
at all about you you can easily do it,
and we must have the writing to carry
the thing through" These were the
words which Eugene's answer elected.
He listened attentively and asked:
well, what do you propose to do?''
"The first step will have to be taken
by YOU" said limerick, ''but will make
suggestion. The man who is to per-
senate Percy Lowell is an expert pen
man and can easily learn to sign his
name like the Englishman. but you
must get the copy; and the best means
I know will be this: you had better
maintain your pleasant relations with
the Delaros and tell Armida that you
made great mistake which need not
sever your friendship. You will then
be speedily reinstated in your former
position with the family. Then some
afternoon-the sooner the better-try
and persuade that fat old Blodger,
whom you say is with them, to take
Armida and his fat boy to the exhibi-

you can stay to keep Mrs. Delaro COM

K0CH AND KOCHINE.

Dr. julius Weiss has an interesting
article il the Cosmopolitan Magazine
for the current month on ''Dr. Koch
and His Lymph" After discussing re-
suits as they have thus far manifested
themselves, DR.. Weiss says that the
medical profession viii no doubt attach
more importance 20 the diagnostic than
10 the remedial feature OF the lymph"
This, because Of its value in proving
whether consumption be present in a
doubtful case. For determining the
presence Of that disease, the lymph, it
seems, Is most reliable.
AS to its remedial powers, time
enough has not yet elapsed to test it
fairly. II was proclaimed November
IA, last, and while thousands have OBJ
tanned relief and made great improve
ment under the treatment, the doctor
Gays that mo case OF lung consumption
has so far been recorded as absolutely
cured Elsewhere he says that after
several months experimentation in
many European institutions 1.-The pros
pective cure Of consumption even in
the first stage is far from being GER
tain. The percentage of recoveries in
lupus where surgical aid was not nee
essary, is 80 per cent. There can be, he
says, no doubt of its curative powers in
this species of consumption. In tuber-
culosis, however, more time is needed
TO determine whether and to what ex-
tent the lymph may be relied on to
effect cure.

quarters of the earth, come to Koch
