Her clinging robe OF black, confined
at the waist by silver chain, left re-
vealed the beauty OF her neck and arms,
and the lamp. as 1t filckered and fiared

of her hair like living flame. Her
long, black lashes lay like shadows on

held.

right was a deserted dwelling, the former
home of one Don Jose Flores. who. In a
passion of jealous rage, had stabbed a
rival and fled from justice to the noun
tains, where he had become the leader OF
a dangerous gang Of bandits. The house
and property had been confiscated, and
the Government seal was still on the
gates. Yet the music seemed to come
from this direction, and he heard 1t most
plainly when he paused in front OF an
unused door, covered now by luxurious
rose vine, but which. he knew, connected
with the passage leading to the Flores
garden.
He stood still and listened. Soft and
sweet came the sounds thrilling him in
every nerve. Something impelled him
to follow them. and he pushed aside the
tangled vine, opening with some diff

As he had surmised, II led into a pas
sage connecting with the neighboring
garden, which was surrounded by a
high iron fence and filled with overgrown
vines and bushes. No light came from
the house, but he could hear the sound
more plainly now, and, guided by It,
he pushed open n door. then stood back
amazed at his own temerity.
The door opened softly. AS he had
guessed, 1t corresponded to the one in
his own house and led into the patio.
The place was dark, except at one end
where a quaint silver lamp was fas-
tened into the angle OF the adobe wall
The perfume OF roses came TO him, and
palms and potted plants were arranged
around the sides, all speaking of habita-
ton in the place which was supposed by
every one to be deserted.
Nor was this all. The light from the
lamp fell upon a WON, who half re-
clined on a couch covered with panther
skins. It was she whose voice Harcourt
had heard, and II came TO him sweetly

able to move hand or foot

by anxiety, he pushed open the hidden

He was still thinking pleasantly of his
letter as, the evening meal over he set
tied down in the cool patio TO smoke.
Good-humoredly refusing all invitations
OF his friend to come out and enjoy
himself" he felt rather relieved when
that gentleman took his departure for
his usual evening tour OF the city. Mr..
Swain had fallen an easy victim to the
Southern beauties, and clandestine ap-
pointments, as well as skilful eludings
Of duennas, were with him a speciality.
Harcourt's meditations were exceed
ingly agreeable. Pacing slowly up and
down the court scenes and memories
brought to mind by the letter he
had just received crowded upon him. and
he thought with satisfaction that his
probation was nearly at an end. He had
not toiled in vain; respected and pros
porous as he had become, he knew that

united to the girl he had waited for so

had seen 1t last, the brown eyes filled
with tears, while the lips smiled bravely.

Harcourt had never before heard a

dog lay peacefully in the passage. The

SPORTING MISCELLANY.

That meetinJg between Corbett and
jackson yesterday was something Of
thunderclap out of a clear sky. The
fact that the colored pugilist came to
town alone was taken as an indication
that the stories floating about regard
Ing split between him and "Parson''
Davies had a basis of truth. 1t i'm
pressed a good many people as wide
departure from the Parsons" methods
to let protege come on to transact
business of such Importance as the
making of match with Jim Corbett
without his able direction. And 1t is
not the custom of the astute Chicagoan
to loan his managerial toga to another
for temporary use, as Tom O'Rourke
assumed. On the other hand, a mental
review Of the case on the part Of Man
ager Brady and Corbett yesterday

The Monument to Maury.
CNorfolk Virginian.)

Several years ago when Congress was
discussing appropriations to the World
Fair. the Nirg man suggested ana adVo-
Gated an appropriation for the erection ol
a monument To Columbus on the KIP
Raps, in Hampton Roads, as an appro-
pirate tribute Oh the part OF the tnlted
States to the discoverer of the American
Continent. The suggestion AT the tine re-
ceived favorable commentator.
1t was at Hampton Roads that the
navjes Of the world were to assemble IN
honor Of the great discoverer. and hence
the suitablencss OF this location Tor such
a monument. Upon the two eAceHeht
birds EYE views of Norfolk. Portsmouth,
and Hampton Roads the rip Raps IS
put down as the proposed ste OF a Hoil"-
ment 10 Columbus, and an interesting
historical incident connected with the
Naval Rendezvous is the fact that the
first anchorage Of the Santa Maria Nina.
and Pinta. the models of Coiumbus's fleet
in American waters, was under the
shadow OF the walls Of the Rip Raps.
In the General Assembly of virginia
of 1891 and 1892. follow ng the suggestions
of the Nirginian as TO the use or the
Rim Rams for monument 10 Columbus'
resolutions were presented by the Hon.
Phil. Brown, recommending the erection
on the Rip Raps of monument to COM
modore Mathew +. Murray, the path
finder OF the seas and requesting the
Senators and Representatives OF virginia
i'm Congress to take such steps as would
secure governmental assistance. The VIZ
ginian Is not aware that any acton was
taken by Congress on the subject. ke-
Gently the Maury Monument Association
has been organized. with the object OF
practically TAX ne the work In hand or
erecting an appropriate monument to this
great Virginian, whose name Is honored
