caught her by the wrist, had with ex-
cited roughness pulled her about SO that
she faced her, and demanded in voice
in which anger and fear seemed to be
sharply commingled:
"What do you mean? How dare you
come in here?"
Oh, how strongly it came to Miss
Maxey now--the feeling that she had
seen this face somewhere beforel And
yet it seemed almost impossible that it
should be SO. Strange that she could
not make this feeling seem reasonable
and yet could by no effort drive it away.
The woman was dark, handsome, Of
queenly presence, though there was even
a masculine cir of firmness about the
face and a nose too prominent for perfect
symmetry. Her beauty was of way
ward, voluptuous kind and had in it
neither classic purity nor refinement,
and yet SO strongly did these same
dominant impressions manifest them
selves to the beholder in the younger
face upon the bed, despite the unnatural
expression and the silly leer, that Miss
Maxey was almost ready to declare the
relationship between them that Of moth
er and daughter.
Even these reflections passed like a
fash through Miss Maxey's intuitive
mind while she stood bewilderingly re-
turning the fierce look of the woman
who held her by the wrist. The silence
only exasperated the questioner. Her
nervous hold on the arm tightened, and
she said in lower but still more in
tense voice:

Some Puzzling Queries That Appear Not
Hard to Answer.
If goose weighs 10 pounds and a half
Its own weight, what is the weight Of
the goose? Who has not been tempted
to reply on the instant 10 pounds? the
correct answer being, OF course, 20
pounds. 1t is astonishing what a very
simple query will sometimes catch a
wise man mapping. Even the follow
ing have been known to succeed:
How many days would it take to cut
up piece Of cloth 80 yards long, one
yard being cut off every day?
A snail climbing up pole 20 feet
high ascends FIVE feet every day and
slips down four feet every night. How
long will the snail take to reach the top
Of tho post?
A wise man having window one
yard high and one yard wide, requiring
more light, enlarged his window to
twice its former size, yet the window
was still only one yard high and one
yard wide. How was this done?

CHAPTER XII.
A DREADFUL MISTAKE.


The unsteady figure Of the somber
Dye went on along the snow covered
pavement alone. Miss Maxey no longer
followed him.
Instead of that she walked boldly up
from the area door into the street, as
cended the brownstone steps and pulled
the bell. This was the result of her re-
fiections in the cold and dark She
would see this high bred acquaintance of
the mysterious man, convince her Of the
urgency Of the case, threaten her if need
be and learn from her If she could who
and what he was.
1t was not without a conscious dread
and shrinking that she took the initia-
tive step in this determined project She
had been rather inclined to consider
herself as lacking in executive ability,
but none of us exactly know ourselves
until an emergency arises to test us.
After she had let go the handle which
summoned the servant to the door she
was taken with a fit of trembling and
began to consider whether she had bet
ter not run away while there was yet
time.
The instant the servant appeared and
she had spoken to her, her courage re-
turned, the trembling left her She could
not understand what had SO frightened
her a moment before. But the sentiment
which came to take the place Of the
dread and the fear was soon changed
from that Of bravery to surprise and be-
wilderment AS the house seemed desti-
tute If door plate, Miss Maxey had
made up her mind to ask, like peddler
or a beggar, for the lady Of the house.
Her ring had been answered with sur
prising alacrity by maid in white
cap, who now, hardly waiting for her to
open her lips, said in low voice:
You want to see my lady? Yes. She
Is waiting for you. Come up. This
way
The next moment the door closed be-
hind her, and Miss Maxey was in the
house. Her heart was beating rapidly.
What did this mean? Had the woman

TIE HAWAIIAN JURY.

The August term Of the First
Circuit Court opened yesterday
morning, but no Hawaiian jury
was obtained, all but three of those
drawn being unwilling to take the
oath. The Court will therefore
pass over the Hawaiian eases at
present, and proceed with the for
eign jury. The difficulty will
probably prove to be only tempo
rary, but if it should be otherwise
il can easily be met by appro-
pirate legislation. There are plenty
Of Hawaiians who would be glad to
serve on the jury, if the law per
mitted them TO be selected.
One very amusing phase of the
situation is that these Hawaiians
who cannot serve on the jury
because they viii not take the
oath to the Republic, are not dis
qualified from being paid for at,
tendance. None of them seem to
have any scruples about taking
the fee, but they march home re-
ioicing, with disloyalty in theil
hearts and the coin of the Republic
in their pockets.
