for tonight, and tomorrow we will see if
she is we'll enough to continue her jour

The dancing was now over. Those
guests who remained for the dinner went
indoors with NJ. Dumont, and the re-
mainder went home. Presently serv-
ant brought the poor woman some dim
ner, which she ate at table not very
far from where the two men had been
sitting. She did not look like a common
beggar-this woman-there was an air
about her of ono who had seen better
days. Her clothes, though poor, We're
carefully mended and scrupulously clean.
She spoke correctly in a low, soft voice.
What could be seen of her hair under

head was of snowy whiteness, in strange
contrast to well defined dark eyebrows
and large dark eyes. rendered more shad-
owy still by the hollows which grief and
want had carved around them. She
could not have been much over middle
age, though at the first glance her white

thought. Sad indeed must have been
the thoughts which could impart so deep
melancholy as that which overcast her

As she sat there motionless the two

Remond. always on his guard paused as
he caught sight of the woman, whose az

dance. Making 4 sign to his companion
to remain still, he advanced cautiously
behind her and managed to see her face
without being seen. But at the first glance
he recoiled with look of terror, while
it needed all his self control to enable
him to suppress an ejaculation.
What is it, said Bertrand, who had
seen him recoil.
"Nothing.' he replied.
Then let us go. 1t is time to be on

him.
They seated themselves on one of the

story, to the accompaniment of merry
laughter and the sounds of cheerful

The plain man who uses any article in

who best succeeds In combining simplicity
and popularity, will get the Press Claims

The responsibility of this company may
be judged from the fact that its stock is
held by about three hundred OF the leading

THE CHINESE CHATTEL.
Lai Kun Wing Ordered to Be De-
DOrted.

The young Chinese woman, Lai Kun
Wing. who was TO have been auctioDed OFF
TO the highest masculine bidder at sol
Dupont street last Wednesday, where for
some time she had been on exhibition to
prospective purchasers, was disposed of
by the Federal authorities yesterday. She
was before United States Co missioner
Heacock in the morning, and readily
stated that all the testimony she had given
in the habeas corpus proceedings before
the commissioners on September z was
false; that she had been told what story
to tell and had told it. The commissioner
therefore decided to deport her.
During the proceedings the three con-
sular representatives of the Chinese Gov
eminent took quite as lively an interest
as they did in Judge Daingerfield's court
room last Saturday. and after it was all
over they had a consultation with United
States District Attorney Garter. Vice
Consul King, acting as the spokesman, re-
quested that the girls deportation should
be postponed until the sailing of the next
steamer, so that they cnuld use her as
witness in proceedings against the persons
who had been instrumental in having her
brought to this country. Mr.. Garter had
no objection, so Commissioned Heacock
concluded to wait until after the steamer
China sails to-day before making the
formal order for deportation.
