He had, in fact, visited the house al
most every day, letting himself in with
his passkey, and sauntering through the
beautiful rooms, where fires were kept
burning in the open Crates by the care
takers in charge. He contemplated the
interior from all points of view and in
all moods, sometimes tentatively max

restore the next day. He seemed loath tc

Harry Trent had on that day gone to
afternoon tea at Mrs. Ma tchin's, it being
her day at home, and had remained till
after six o'clock. A dozen other people
were present, and the talk was lively.
Harry himself seemed in particularly

CHAPTER. 1.

CHAPTER. l.
HARRY TRENT's NEW HOME
1t is less than twenty years since the
Trent murder in New York, and it was
one of the great sensations of the time.
But the Franco-German war, following
close upon it, distracted public atten-
ton. The mystery connected with it
was never cleared up, and today there
are few people who remember it. It lies
at the threshold of our story, however,
and we must speak of it before going
further.
In the year 1870 the city, above Six
tieth street, was thinly settled. Upper
Fifth avenue, with the park on one side
and a waste of vacant blocks on the
other, was like a country road. There
were irregular hollows, sometimes with
stagnant water in them, or rocky hill
ocks, adorned with an occasional board
shanty; but there was no promise of the
array of palaces that look down upon
the peoples pleasure ground today.
When, therefore, the year previous,
Harry Trent had laid the foundations of
his new house, half mile or more be.
yond civilized limits, he was called a
clever fellow or a fool, according to the
temperament of the critic. Conserva-
tives propesied that he would remain in
lonely grandeur for twenty or thirty
years to come, while optimists declared
that he showed even more than his usual
shrewdness in securing betimes site
which, later, was sure to fetch four or
five times its present value. Harry Trent
himself said little, but went on with his
building.
He was certainly no fool in general
way of speaking He was between fifty
and sixty years of age, and his hair was
white; but then it had been white since
his youth, and his face looked fresh and
young. In figure he was above middle
height, graceful and well built. His
manners were ezquisitely suave and
courteous, and had a polish not exactly
American. In fact he had lived many
years abroad, and was received in the
best English and French society. He
was personal acquaintance of the late
Emperor Napoleon III, and was said to
belong to the Prince OF Wales set. But
though cosmopolitan in his way of life
he was good American in his political
and social opinions. It was his business
that took him abroad

GOOD EVIDENCE.
There Was a Sign Upon the Fence, but
They Did Not See It.

There Was sign Upon the renee, Dut
They Did Not See It.
They tell good story on party Of
excursionists who went on personally
misconducted tour to Mexico last win
ter. The party was in charge of Charles
Gates of Toledo. They travelled in a
special train, which stopped at all the
interesting places en- route long enough
to give the excursionists ample time to
see the sights, and sometimes they saw
some not down ON the bills. This story
concerns one of them.
They stopped at small town near
the Mexican frontier-name omitted,
lest after this tale is printed excursion
lists should swarm to see it. While stroll
ing along little stream half a dozen
of the male members of the party came
across an Enclosure with the legend:
Bathing for ladies. Do not look
The fence was not too high to climb,
and when greaser policeman happened
along that way he found six staid and
supposedly respectable heads of families
hanging over that fence, gazing with
all the strength of their dozen eyes.
Accordingly he gathered them i'll and
escorted them down to the little adobe
Jail, where they were locked up to
await bail. AS the time for the train to
depart approached the wives Of the six
prisoners began to look about for their
worse halves. Then a Mexican official
came to the train and notified them of
the trouble. MIR. Gates, who had luck
lily staid with the train, at once went
to the rescue.
First he interviewed the prisoners,
and then he went before the local al
calde to plead for them. Luckily that
official spoke English and also enjoyed
a joke.
''These men are all American gentle
men, urged Mr.. Gates. "Highly re-
spected citizens of some Of our largest
communities.
'sWell, they should not have looked
over the fence; they saw the sign"
ST am convinced that they did not
see the sign,'' insisted Mr.. Gates.
"Why?" inquired the alcalde.
Because there were half dozen
more in the party, and if they had seen
that sign all would have been there.

cade, while his sides shook with laugh
