Is valuable because 1t is accurate, because 1t
is modern, because it has rejected the
worthless and preserved the necessary, be-
cause it brings the history OF science litera-
ture, commerce, geography and discovery,
and the mental and moral development of
the race down to the year 1890. In its ten
large octave volumes will be found an
amount OF interesting and profitable read
ing Of incalculable value to the busy man.
The historical record Of every country of
the world, OF every state and city Of the
union, is brought down to the current
year. Its statistical matter is invaluable,
for it is taken from the very latest official
returns in nll cases. An additional interest
attaches to the Amerlcanized Encyclopoe.
dia in that it is prepared in America for
Americans, aud that, while paying all due
attention 20 the grand record Of olden days.
it has devoted ample space to the story of
the present, the most important and pro-
gressive of ali the centuries. The traditions
Of mythical past, the hoary records of a
remote antiquity, are not permitted to
usurp the space which is needed for
description of the history and the inven-
lions OF modern days. Not that Grecian lit
erature or Babylonian inscriptions, or the
story Of Ancient Egypt, or Of the Dark
Ages and the Rem assance, have been lg-
nored or neglected. All that is valuable on
these subjects has been retained, stripped of
encumbering and laoored word>peintine.
And, to bring the book into line with mod
ern thought, the most recent discoveries Of
science, the gigantic growth OF commerce
and manufactures, the political ard moral
awakening of the world of to-day have been
ADDED. Thus the Americanized Encyclopa-
dIa Britannica offers to the people of Amor
lea a " ork SO full, so condensed, so thorough
in its historical record, 50 crowded with the
latest Information, SO accurate and relia-
bic, that in this one work alone the reader
possesses a library.

These details OF her daring scheme flew
through her head as she combed her hair.
Returning TO her bureau. she, with purpose

Though there we're such calmness in

that ner parents and brother might not be
disturbed, she locked the door, tossed her
white cloak and nubia on the bed then
going TO her mirror, she aazed at herself to
sec again If she might feel satisfied with the
impression made upon the admirers whose
eyes had followed her throughout the
evening.
As she thus stood, turning right and left,
she saw the CLEAN of strange eye In her
mirror With quick shudder through her
whole frame she wheeled and locked around
her. There was no one in the room but
herself, therefore she was mistaken. Per
haps her own eye, by some peculiar law OF
optics, had been reflected In this strange
way.
Lilpha was not especially timid she did

In regal apparel and costly jewels she left

and began to breathe regularly, increasing
the inhalations and exhalations until they
became audible; then Il little louder, and
still louder until they developed into a gen.
tie snore.
Yes, Zilpha was asleep at last So
thought Ksrjar Kemp, who crept from his
hiding place with the crawling, squirming
motion OF u snake, till HIS body was entirely
out from under the bed then on hands and
knees, with stealthy sottness, he pulled
towards the closet, rising only when he
reached the door, from which he turned to
see II his movements had awakened the
sleeper.
Lilpha's eyes were closed, and her Suor-
ing had now reached a defined strength
aud pitch, Kemp was safe, and confident
OF rich haul from the closet and after
wards from the draw ers he had seen locked,
he closed the closet door, leaving only a
little crack 10 admit the freight, which he
needed in his search.

an eye like the eye OF u cat.
An icy chill shook her for moment and
she breRthed rapidly, but this time she did
not turn, for with an instantaneous under
standing OF the whole situation she stood
her ground In silent command OF herself,
quickly forming plan beyond the intelli-
gcnce and courage Of an ordinary woman.
Her mirror was 50 situated that It had re-
fected the eye OF an object under her bed.

slowly Zipha plated her hair, then took
the jewels from her ears, and with those
already unclasprd from her neck aud arms
she placed them in her bureau drawer,
which she locked, walking 10 the closet and
