crush down the surging emotions at
work below. Gray had no words at
command.
For lutte while the silence remained
unbroken; then Mrs. Lumsden stopped
abruptly in her walk, and fixing her
large. dark eyes, luminous with somber
fire, full on the American, she said:
You ask me, Mr.. Gray, to give you
my daughters hand. My answer to you
is, first do something to prove yourself
worthy of the gift. You are here in
London, idling away your time, with no
object beyond the amusement of the
hour. aud yet the assassin of the father
of her you would make your wife is still
untraced, his crime goes still unpun-
ished and you have never so much us

track Inn down. Oh, that | were q

But at this juncturo the door wa,
opened.
"Dr. Hynton, m2'an," said the parlor
maid.
Gray rose as the doctor entered. The
widow gave him her hand, and with a
smile that had in it much of her old
sweetness, said:
"You will excuse mo now, will Won
not, Mr.. Gray: You must come and sec
me again a few days hence. 1t may he
that have talked little at random to.
day, but if you could only partially
realize what have gone through, Won
would know how to make allowance for
me-"
Gray bent and touched her fingers
with his lips and withdrew. He had
scarcely been ten minutes in the house
and had not spoken moro than dozen
words.
Without processing to be actuated by
any other motive than one of simple
curiosity, when Gray related to his
uncle tine result of the interview he
drew him on to talk about the crime
with a frankuess he had never exhibited
before. GIr. Orde was by nature q
man Of caution and reserve, and moi
even to his nephew had he heretofore
confided the particulars in connection
with Eustace Crake, nor how his sus
picions, unsupported though they were
by any direct evidence, pointed uncquiv
ocally to him as being the criminal
Today, however, he told his nephew
everything. 1t was as though the latter
had brought away from his interview
with Mrs. Lumsden a pass key to the
secret chamber of his uncles mind.
AS he left the house he said to him
self:
Tomorrow l will seek out and make
the acquaintance of Nh. Eustace Crake.

"TCSH, hit DOu 'front.' sec me tomorrow"
1t was three weeks later. Marcus
Gray had been as good as his word. Not
only had he made Crake's acquaintance
In the interim, but by this time the two,
to employ an expressive lOcution, had
become as "thicli as thieves" He had
sought ont Crake at the billiard room
of the Flagon and Cask, the tavern
which Inspector Fountains report to
Mr.. Orde had mentioned as being his
favorite house of call. Grays role had
been that Of a simple young American
over in London for holiday, with no
lack of money to fling away, and not
caring much how he got rid of it so long
as he saw plenty of life" in return. 1t
was ID part he played to perfection, and
Crake chung to him like Il leech from
the moment he found that the supply Of
sovereigns to be squeezed out of him IN
one way or another had no apparent
limit. They got into the way of meet
ing regularly about two o'clock in the
afternoon, when Crake, who was really
Il crack player, would for the next Two
hours give lessons to his new found
friend in the art and mystery of billiards,
always OF course for Il consideration.
Later on they would dine and spend the
evening together, equally Of course at
the Americans expense.
For the present there was only one
thing that Gray stuck out against. He
would have nothing to do with the bet
ting on the turf, bat Crake by no means
lespaired of l.aing able by and by to
overcome a prejudice so puritanical and
| absurd and one at the same time SO
ininical to his own interests.
On the night to which we have now
! come Gray and Cralie left the Flagon
! and Cask together, as they had done
several times before. 1t was half past
twelve and closing time, and no sooner
! had they crossed the threshold than the
door was shut and bolted behind them.
They had been playing billiards to-
gether since eight O'clock, Crake OF
number of points, notwithstanding
which the American had lost every
gamo but two. Tonight, too, he had
insisted on backing his play for half Il
sovereign a game, and as by some mis-
chance--it was a thing which had never
! happened before-he had fallen short OF
ready money, the result had been that
by the time they left off play Crake held
his | O u for three pounds fifteen Dor
rowed cash, as to which he was not al
all uneasy, feeling sure he would be re
coupcd on the morrow. 1t was evident
that Gray, who WAS ordinarily most all
stcmious, had been drinking more than
was good for him, He staggered slightly

ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs Of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid

It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feyers
and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

A CITIZEN pRorEsrs


Against the Granting of Right of Way to
the Elm Grove.
10 The Editor ofhe In'elligsneer
SIR:-I desire to enter a protest and
give few plain reasons why the Elm
Grove ordinance, which will probably
come up in the near future before our
city council, should on presentation be
tabled or similarly disposed OF.
First-Because it is in direct opposi-
ton to the general good OF the public,
obstructing the furtherance of future
competition to the only actual accessible
location ior the building Of homes by
our poorer class.
Second-The exhorbitant rates for
travel now dictated by the applicants
will become perpetual tax.
Third-lt gives the Wheeling & Elm
Grove franchise unnecessary, not ben
efcial to the public, and that would
not be sought but for fear OF some near
future competitor for the travel from
that section.
Fourth-It gives to one corporation a
franchise which was applied for by an.
other in equal good faith, and through
the efforts OF the present applicant was
squashed for fear Of the competition.
Fifth-The passing OF such an ordi-
nance would ruin the most valuable
resident portion Of the district through
which it passes; and the protest against
this granting has been signed by stock
holders OF the applicant, who Iecognize
how injudicious it would be to the gen.
eral public.
Seventh-Too much haste has been
characteristic OF former councils in
deciding away to corporations amply
able to contribute literally to the de-
pleted Golfers OF the city handsome
recompense for valuable franchises.
With these few ideas to consider, and
with the full understanding that the
writer is in favor of railroads at all
times to the proper applicants, and
with the hope that the public good will
be uppermost in the minds OF our rep.
resentatives at the presentation OF this
ordinance, bid them God speed in
their endeavor to protect tho city's in
terests against combination whose
main endeavor is self gain.

THE THIRD RACE
For the Cup VIII BE Sailed To.Day-VIgi.
lnnps New Bow SPIRIT.

For the Cup Will BE Sailed To.Day-Yigi.
Innps New Bow SPIRIT.
New York, Oct. 10.-The new bow
spirit that takes the place OF the one
that was sprung on the Vigilant, in
Mondays race against the Valkyrie, for
the American cup, was in position this
afternoon and the third race OF the
match will be sailed tomorrow. The
Valkyrie never turned a rope yarn in
her work of Monday, so OF course, she
will be all right. Lord Dunraven, de-
signer Watson, Captain Cranfield and
saimaker Richie are all preparing for a
heavy wind. They claim, and with
truth, chat the Vigilant's superiority in
half gale has not yet been proven, in
race between the boats, and they
want chance in that sort of weather
before they will admit that the Ameri-
eau model Is better than that OF the
English.
No lust comparison can be made be-
tween what the Valkyrie did in English
waters in hard blow, and what the
American boat had don. on her own
waters. The only way to compare the
boats is at a time when they are racing
together over the same waters, with the
same winds, and also the same tides and
currents. The indications tonight are
that there will be about the same
strength of wind tomorrow MS prevail
ed on Monday, but from northwesterly
direction. II from the northwest the
yachts will start on a run to leeward
the fifteen miles, and beat the last half
home.
Lord Dunrayen says he has not de-
cided to build another boat for compe-
tition next year. Yachtsmen in New
York are convinced that England will
never send over here another boat that
has not center board. AZ such de-
parture from English tradition would be
too radical for British pertinacity to d.
gest. The wise ones say that there
never again will be challenger for the
Americas cup from England, the same
persons said the same thing when the
Thistle was SO badly beaten by the Vol
unteer, and their opinion is only given
Tor what the reader may think it is
worth.

DUNRAVEN KICKS
On tho Excursion Boats That Interior cd
With the VallEyrie.

On tho Excursion Boats That Interior cd
With the VaIlsyrie.
New York, Oct. 10.-Lord Dunraven
bore the defeat of his boat yesterday
like true sportsman. There was not a
shade OF annoyance in his manner as
he greeted reporter at the Hotel
Waldorf and frankly discussed the in
cidents OF the day. "As result OF the
days race l am satisfied" said he,
that tho Vigilant is the faster boat, at
the weight OF wind which prevailed. In
heavier or lighter weather the Valkyrie
might make n much better showing.
The unfortunate part OF the day was the
crowding and interfering done-inno-
Gently enough, have no doubt-by ex'
cursion steamers. Now. while / hon
estly believe that the Vigilant would
have beaten under the most favorable
conditions for n good race, nevertheless
but for those excursion steamers she
certainly would not have finished more
than five minutes ahead at most. 1t
seems too bad after coming so far for a
fair race to encounter this serious an
noyance.
What l wish is fair test OF merit
with the American boat which can
never be secured while racing in the
midst OF a fleet OF steamers. 1t will be
hard for the public to estimate the re-
tardng influence OF their wash. Yacht
men, however, know how bad it is to
sail in water OF that character, and will
understand the disadvantages under
which the Valkyrie labored when say
that her decks were washed frequently
under water from the wheels OF passing
steamers.
80 serious is this annoyance, and so
fatal is it to q fair test OF speed that
could have forseen it, / would not
have consented to race in these crowded
waters. With to.day's splendid breeze
We would have had magnificent race,
instead OF II stupid one had the course
been clear.
81 think it very probable that she
will win the next race 10 capture the
cup | must now take three straight
races MISUNDERSTANDING prospect is
somewhat dubious"
Throughout the interview the earl
was courteous and Unconditional TO n
degree, but there was an infection in
his voice, which told OF utter disgust
when he spoke of intrusive excursion
boats. He professed himself entirely
satisfied with the manner in which the
Nalkyne was acting, and assured me
that lie had no idea oil trying any new
experiments in the coming race.
