CHAPTER Xxx.
WARREN AND PETE.

While the stirring events we have
related were transporting. Warren Stu
art was in Chicago in blissful ignorance
of it all. He found his fathers real
estate agent Il very pleasant business
like gentleman, and very rapid in all
his work save Mr.. Stuart's.
Warren was delayed from day to day
until he began to suspect that his father
had requested that he be retained some
time i'll the city. He wrote repeatedly
to Helen Lakeman, but received no
answer. His mother wrote him affec-
Tomato letters. telling him every thing
except what he really wished to know.
If there is any thing more annoying
than to receive n letter which contains
every thing except just what you want
to know, we have never discovered it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stuart seemed to possess
that remarkable faculty of talking or
writing all around subject with
out touching it. Three words, three
strokes of the pen, would have
saved Warren many sleepless nights.
But those words did not come. He
felt sure they would not. He ceased
to write to Helen, and wrote to his Sis
ter Rose. In her he had warm, SYM
pathetic friend.
Warren little dreamed what was
transpiring at home. His next letter
from his father stated that Rose had
received his last and would answer it
soon; it continued urging him to re-
main until the agent had finished the
| abstract for him.
Its all nonsense for me to stay
here" said Warren, chatting at this de-
lay. "The matter could all have been
| transacted by mail, and l am cooped
up here for nothing. am doing moth
| ing. at a dead expense, and have Il
notion to go home.' The next morn
ing he went to the agent and asked
him if he could get the abstract that day
in time to go home.
mo-" said the agent, tossing back
his iron gray locks, and smiling
serenely. 1T will be impossible. Just
be contented; don't get homesick, and
all will go right YETI
''But this delay is useless. 1 don't
settled by mail"
1--WE may find purchaser for the
property" said the gentleman, bring
ing a cigar from his case, trimming the
end of it, and then with flourish,
bringing it to his mouth.
''Do you know how soon you will be
ready for me to return?"
81 can't say, just yet, but hope soon
to have the matter all fixed up satisfac-
torily."
The agent then brushed his vest and
coat with his hand, stroked his iron
gray whiskers and elevated his feet
to the top Of the desk before him. His
boots were BACKED and his clothes
brushed with care. Taking his ivory,
handled cane, he tapped the toes of his
boots leisurely, as though he were in nc
particular hurry about any thing. War.

morning." said the miner. 'tIn the
meanwhile, make yourself at home"
Pete was soon mingling among the
miners. picking up such information as
he could, and making himself very
agreeable. When they sat down to
supper, and the prospector asked a
blessing, Pete said to himself:
Hes piece what'll stand wind an

ness that comes by experience.
The youth was dashed not n little at

laughed immoIcrately.
Il will not I've a witness, Judge
Arnold" said Clarence. 'but there will

"Oh, have never had any fears in

"Whcu will that be?"
"When you come to die, and the con-

committed will open the gates of a
smoking hell to your eyes. Then,
blacklist of all, will stand out the per-

that innocent girl stole that bracelet"
The Judge sat stern and unterrified a
moment, and then said:
II think you had either better go to
preaching or to n lunatic asylum. l am
in a hurry, however, and can not wait to
hear the rest of your haranguc. Come

The Judge rode down the lane, Will
went back home, and Clarence resumed
his work.

1879 this building was regarded as one
of the finest in New York and was occu-
cupied chiefly by a good class of law

corner of the top floor bore upon the
ground glass panel of its door the legend,

Scathing Remarks of San Francisco
journal on Bernhardt.

journal on Bernhardt.
San Francisco Argonaut.
San Francisco has INDUCED for the past two
weeks in the enjoyment of two great sensa-
tions. 'sBest'' society has been charmed by
witnessing the artistic performance of the
greatest tragedy queen who walks the mimic
stage 'sBest' society has been carried off its
feet and lost its balance by witnessing the truly
marvellous acting of the most notoriously bad
woman who fiaunts her art as the covering of
her conduct. The well-dressed, sugar-coated,
veneered upper crust, which calls itself the
'best' society because it has wealth, has been
entertained by Bernhardt. The better society,
which lies below the sugared surface, has been
engaged in entertaining the President of the
United States, his wife, his son. his daughters,
his friends, and Cabinet officers. Our ''best'
society-the artificial, veneered, well-dressed,
well-mannered, well-fed, easy class, that does
little work-has expended its time in witness
ing the drama of sCleopatra." This most
voluptuous and unprincipled Egyptian queen
of early history, who seduced the imperial
Anthony from the observance of all that made
his life illustrious and his career honorable.
and has left only its follies to be perpetuated
by the historian, the poet, and the actor, has
been portrayed upon the mimic stage by one
who has made vulgar all that distinguished
the career of this lascivious queen. Scarcely
a fit production for the mimic stage!
We are not SO much an admirer of the mimic
art as to excuse it when it represents guilt or
seeks to make excuses for ineXcuSable crime.
We have no patience for the false and absurd
aphorism that sart knows no SEX" 1t is
seldom used except in the defense of lewd
women in the display of artistic genius-never
for the virtuous female.
The names of Bracegirle, Oldfield, Nell
Gwynne, Peg Wellington, Rachel, Ada Isaacs
Menken, ,and Lola Montez have been better
preserved by the scandals that surrounded
their lives than the recollection of their
artistic triumphs. AS with these distinguished
women of the demi-monde, so will 1t be with
the recollections that shall survive tho repre-
sentation of the spectacular dramas that have
been produced by Bernhardt. The memory
of her visit to the Cremorne the spectacle of a
sloggng match produced for her benefit the adj
ventures with her dogs, her visit to Chinatown,
her performance in Chinese theatre, and all
the eccentricities and vagaries of her eXcep-
tional conduct, as indicated by her visit to
questionable slums, will survive the recollec-
tion of her acting and outlive the memory of
her genius, and disprove the aphorism that
"art knows no seX.'
If the incident which introduced this un-
speakable woman to one of the most elegant
and exclusive of Mob Hill mansions may not
be regarded as social blunder, arising from
youthful indiscretion and ignorance of the
world, it must be viewed as a crime against all
the rules of social civilization.
