CHAPTER ".
AN UNPLEASANT DISCOVERY.

AN INfLEAoANI DASNON bhA'
The midsummer vacation ended ut
last and the young ladies were gathered
together once more under Miss Bladder
stones wing to pursue their studies and
dream dreams of speedy emancipation
when the regime of the school room
should be exchanged for the delights. OF
the drawing room. There are more
pupils come back than the house can
conveniently hold, yet Miss Bladder
stones heart is sad, for she is in sore
vexation of spirit. AS if that confess
sion of her favorite Kate Grahnme,
that she has allowed wandering Yam
kee, probably some penniless adven-
turer, to steal her heart was not enough
worry for one morning. Mile. Cam
pignon, the best, sedatest, most-reli-
able French governess who ever en-
tered her establishment, must decline
to resume her duties and had absolutely
left tire house with the avowed inten-
ton of abandoning the profession.
She had told Kate Grahame that she
was n little goose to put any faith in
her American admirer and blamed her
for making such a promiscuous ac-
uuaintance. LAS for his story about
going to India, my dear, that is all
balderdash. He will turn up some day
and say he has been there, trusting to
your being overwhelmed with graft
tudc," she had said to the weeping
girl. Just as if any sane person would
go of to the end of the earth on such a
wild-goosc chase, when he could have
taken n sixpepny bus to Mr.. Colburn's
Office and satisfied himself that Sir
Harry Grahame was as dead as julius
Cesar Besides, where was this Yankee
hero Of hers to get funds for such an
expensive journey-did she think that
he was prince in disguise?"
To all of which very sensible homily
the poor girl had only been able to
whimper q loyal faith in her young
man, who was good and honorable be-
cause-well, because he was good and
honorable, and the two ladies had
parted with sentiments of mutual dis
trust.
It was then at the very moment that
Miss Balderstone's usually placid dispo-
sition was ruffled by these twin vexa-
tons that Mr.. Colburn, the attorney,
presented himself, and If that astute gen.
tleman had picked his opportunities he
could not have found time when she
would have been more predisposed to
lend an car to his suggestions.
II have brought you my Canadian
friends reply to my letter concerning
Miss Grahame," he said, handing the
schoolnistress a note written in q
lady's hand on heavy paper with de-
lightfully ugly crest in the shape Of q
mythical animals head embossed upon
it. "You see, did not mortgage my
assurances of her satisfaction with any
arrangement ! might make deeper
than could redeem them"
''It is n charming letter" Miss Balder-
stone said. giving It TO him after she
had perused It. but candidly confess
that do not like the idea Of her going
90 far away"

CHAPTER x.
MY LADY MoUREs

Scarborough house was tall, gaunt
stone mansion, with q certain massive
rstateliness which impressed outsiders
with its soleum grandeur. 1t needed
not the stone grifins conchant on its
broad steps to tell you that some great
family resided there, even If you were
not subdued by the dignified bearing of
the hall-porter, or the splendid livery
and gigantic proportions of the foot
men. who lounged in its broad door
way with n perpetual sneer on their
red faces for all who were not Of blue
blooded descent
For the most part the interior was, II
anything. more depressing yet aristo-
cratic than its outside. for the rooms
were SO spacious that they resembled
more halls Of assembly than the snug
apartments of an English home.
But there was one room, which was
AN exceptions PRETTY, dainty apart
unent. furnished with exquisite taste in
the most charming modern style. This
was my lady's boudoir, devoted espe-
cially 70 the mistress Of the establish
msut, aad neEer catered under any pre-

Scarborough's suspicious, all may go
we'll yet. You have relieved me of con-
siderable anxiety"
Lord Scarborough is not very wise
man." the solicitor said, didactically,
land do not think it will be difficult
to throw dust in his eyes. The only
thing that remains is to be true to each
other and have mutual confidence, for
l am certain that the secret is known
only to you and me and Frank Archer.
Rest assured of that, my lady. True,
forgot for moment Aaron Gore, the
man servant. but you know as WE'LL as
do that his tongue is tied. Itwould
take an especial dispensation of Provi-
dcnce to disconcert my plans, which |
flatter myself are arranged with no
mean skill; so do not tremble at shad-
ows, my lady"

CHAPTER IX.-CoNTINUED.
Little did Leon baskerville think as
he plodded his way back to the farm
house that the victims of his small NAL
ice and his worthy uncle were en-
tering into an alliance offensive
and defensive. For the crafty sea-
captain, quite undisturbed by Arthur's
declaration of having overheard his del
icate little communications to his wor-
thy nephew, when he found that the
young American had money and was
sufficiently interested in Miss Grahame
to invest it in the discovery OF Sir Har-
nv Grahame's fate, disclosed all he
knew Of the sad story, and wound up
his confession by declaration that II
he was man enough to pay the cost OF
the expedition he would transfer to him
his valuable allegiance.
'And You will 80 with me in search
of this ill-used man?"
''Well, sir-ah, yes-my instincts OF
humanity prompt me to render you
every service in my power to rescue
the unfortunate friend of Miss Ora
hamc, provided, of course, that | do not
lose by my activity"
Thus the compact was ratified.
Arthur Dunbar found time that even
ing to run down to the farm and tell
Kate what he had resolved upon, and
that gentle maiden all a-trembling at
rthe glorious news poured forth such a
c,nclody of thanks that the young

HELD TWO MEN UP.
The Almost Criminal Conduct of n Mon
tann Central Empl0YO.

The Almost Criminal Il Of u MoM-
tana Central Employe.
Wednesday morning Ed Harris, a young
man about Is years Of aGe, employed as a
wiper at the Montana Central round house,
and who works OF the night shift, called
on Detective Walters, and told him he had
been held up twice the night previous.
Harris story was to the effect that about
1880 he was in the sand house, lying down;
Ia big man came in with a mask on, and
pointing n gun at him ordered him to throw
up his hands. The boy ls full OF grit aud
instead of obeying no grabbed the sun. 1t
clicked two or three times, and the high
waymsn became scared, ran out of the
door, and disappeared i'll the darkness.
Harris had watch and chain
and this he too of and hid.
Three hours later the same man held up,
David Il. He'll. while on his engine, II
ook from him his watch. Fifteen minutes
later he again held the boy up. this time
going through his clothes after u struggle.
but finding only u plug of tobacco.
The boy gave q very good DESCRIPTION OF
the man, as to his weight, height and cloth
ing. and Detective Wultera spent all the
day looking for the man or to get u trace
of tho ireman's watch. Wednesday even
ing about $50 Harris walked into the
marshal's office, while Walters was there,
with the information that the hold-up was
u pun UP JOD. Wednesday, HlkAe AAN111S
was in the r%onndhouse trimming n wick.
when the highwayman made his appear
ance again. This time tue hoy was better
prepared, and he slung his lantern around
to hit the man. The blow was warded off.
and then Harris was told the affair was
only a joke to test his courage. The watch
taken from the fireman had been returned
twenty minutes after it WAS taken,
and the affair explained to
him. The supposed pistol was .
piece of pipe put on a crooked handle, and
a nail placed i'll it so that when struck it
would sound like the click of a gun. III
man who played the highwayman is a
Swede named Bill, also employed ~ a
wiper. 1t was one of the most senselesn
jokes over practiced, and it is just a chance
that the petpetsator escaped with his life.
Harris tried to buy a gun Wednesday, but
did not have money enough. Had he got
it he would have shot the Swede in the
evening at the round house. 1t is a most
surprising thing to the authorities that the
highwaynen wiper should have lived to his
present age. Walters worked nearly a day
on the case, and had he found a man who
answered the boys description Of his as
sailant, some innocent person would have
spent at least q night in Jail, and it would
have been published all over the country
that there were more highway robberies in
Helena.

An Alleged Confession of Robbery ]
~ spired by Spite.

An Alleged Confession of Robbery ln-
spired by Spite.
A telegram from Boise City says that
Charles Taylor, the self-confessed accom-
plioe of Frank Henton. the alleged robbet
of the postofice there. has taken back all
his former statement. Taylor now declares
that his confession was u lie, and claims
that he was led into making it because
Postoffice Inspector Watkins and Deputy
Marshal Stranohon made him think Henton
had been trying to get clear himself by
making false statements against him
(Iaylor). The telegram further says
that Taylor claims that the officials told
him his only chance was to get ahead of
Henton. in which event he would come
out all right. Taylor says he was
nearly frightened out of his wits and
with the assistance of the officials made up
the confession. AT the headquarters of the
postoflice inspectors in Helena it is o
known that Iaylor's confession was false
and that neither he nor Henton were near
the Boise City rostof6oe at the time of the
robbery. 1t is not believed, however, that
Inspector Watkins used any but legitimate
means in securing the confession, which
is known to have been inspired by spite
against Henton.
