One month after the scene have Just
recorded Paul Hayter sat in the library
of Wilmington hall deeply engaged in
the study of a manuscript he held be-
fore him, his brow knitted, and his
face betraying conflict of inward emo
tions. Aye, and his was handsome
face, too-a fine, delicate, well-bred
contour of Greeian caste. It was only
in the thin lips and furtive glance of
the eye that you could detect some
thing that was not in harmony with the
rest.
The hand of time had been lightly
laid on him, for, though he had seen
more than sixty summers, you would
not have judged him to be more than
fifty years of age.
A light tap came upon the door, and
with vexed expression he babe the in
truder enter.
What! Wandal' he cried, in a soft,
musical voice as he rose to receive a
wan, pale lady dressed in the deepest

talking with my lady"
And what were you doing mean

And then?"
MY lady got into the carriage, and
they set off towards the village as hard
as they could pelt."
SADDLE my black mare Immediately
and bring her round to the front door"
He was not alarmed, only very angry.
He saw in this simply an attempt of a
vulgar, revengeful woman, like this
innlSeepers wife, to abduct her lady
ship from his custody, and he knew that
his position in the county and his in
iuence over Lady Arlington would
enable him to Illustrate her schemes;
besides was he not armed with a GER
tifcate of her ladyship's insanity,
signed by two of the leading physicians
of the county and a magistrates war

If as, all impatient for vengeance,
Mr. Paul Hayter sprang upon his
horse, he had been gifted with the
power of looking through high hills
and stone walls, he would have seen
Lady Arlington in chamber of the
village inn, flung on her knees before
golden-haired girl, the embodiment of
her own proud beauty before her soul
had been stepped in selflshness. How
different had been his feelings could
he have heard the mothers cry:
"My own, my sweet, my darling
child, on my knees | implore forgive
ness"
Or the daughters answer, as she
kissed the upturned face:
Mother, dear mother, the past is all
forgiven"

the Horners to annoy him in revenge

IN NEED OF AMENDING.

Indications are gathering that mer-
chants and business men generally OBJ
ject to having the numbers of their
stores and places of business changed
radically. In more than one instance
the number Of store has been used ex-
tensively in advertising, and has become
material part of the good will Of a
business. 1t is not wise or fair to I'M
necessarily change such number.
If the ordinance is responsible for the
arbitrary, inconvenient and unusual
features of the new system of number
ing it should be at once amended. 1t is
not right that 400 should begin n block
and sol appear just across the way. Nor
that two short blocks should have two
hundred numbers while the long block
opposite but one hundred.

Yesterday afternoon the State agent

Turner stated that this acS subjected
him to fine Of $40 under a recent city

Mr.. Mahood thought that this was
hardly fair in view of the fact that the
company protected by this ordinance
gave the public no notice by posting
their poles, as is the custom in OF her
cities where he had travelled from New
York to Mexico.
Justice Turner consented to remit the
fine if Mr.. Mahood would have the signs

Are Bells and whistles UseIessc


From the Bicycling World
l am much surprised that "Chicago
Lounger" after strongly upholding law
in regard to lights should say he con-
siders bells as useless. beg to differ.
l do not believe in making unnecessary
noise with bells, whistles, or horns; tho
LATTER l do consider a nuisance. as they
arc more apt to startle 4 horse or pedes-
trian than TO warn them.
The proper use of bells or whistle or
both, however, is different and should
be obligatory. When about to turn q
corner or approaching crossing on a
thoroughfare the use of bell or whistle
gives warning to unseen teams or per-
sons of your approach. When several
teams are coming in same direction one
will often try to get ahead of the others
without much or any regard to what
may BIO coming in the opposite direction
and on whose right of way they en-
croach. In this case a good blast from
whistle given in time, calls tho atten-
tion of the reckless driver to the fact
that you are coming. A wagon may be
able to go further to right and avoid a
collision, but wheelman is moro apt
to be thrown If side Of road is not good,
particularly if he is coasting.
