pictured the glaring eyes of the bold
burglar fixed upon her Poor little
girl! Her fright was almost great
enough to send her into Mysteries, but
by a tremendous effort she restrained
herself and remained motlonless until
she heard the door safely close and
the intruder walk down the hallway
and enter the adjoining room.
jamie was wide awake and sitting
up in bed her little mind actively en-
gagged in figuring out some plan by
which she could outwit the burglar.
Acting upon the impulse of the mo-
ment; she jumped quickly and softly
from the bed, deity raised the sleep
ing baby in her arms and started to
leave the house. Her only hope OF
safety was in going out so quietly as
to remain unheard by the burglar. 1t
was desperate measure, but the only
one she could venture to try.
She opened the door and peercd into
the hall, which she found clear, and
then trippcd over to and down the
stairs. My, how they did creak and
groan! AT last she reached the lower
hall in safety, and it was the work Of
but moment to open the front door
and run out.
jamie, having reached the street, ran
as only badly frightened little girls
can run toward the corner grocery.

women New York has known, n great
songstress-a WoElan whose fortune
was at one time estimated to be In
the ncigllborhood of 100000. This is
Clara Louise Kellogg, whose name in
private life is Mrs. Strakosch. Not
long ago large part OF the second for-
tune she has earned was swept away
by the failure of publishing house in
which her savings had been invested.
1t was branch Of the English firm
OF CaSSell & Co., and had been consid-
cred a prosperous concern. The con-
fidentinl man OF the house plundered
it right and left and fled. leaving Mrs.
Strakosch with little or nothing. Years
ago. in the heydey of her prosperity
the singer intrusted George w. Steb-
bins, the well-known banker with the
first fortune she had accumulated.
This was also considerable. Miss
Kellogg had ample reason to rely on
Mr. Stebbins. as it was through his
efforts that she had been able to secure
education and a leading position on
the lyric stage. He obtained for her,
as far back as 1868, an engagement
in London, and she was thus able to
establish her claim to recognition. Mr..
Stcbbins' speculations on her behalf
went wrong. and she was left without
dollar. Hcr splendid voice was still

before long she was once more
wealthy.

"Re careful, jamie, and while / am
away do not let any one in the house.
If the bell rings pay no attention to It,
for shall take night key and let
myself in when I return. Be good
little girl, and watch the baby closely,
and when mamma comes back she will
have package of sweets for you"
So saying, Mrs. Barnes kissed her
ten-year-old daughter and left her
home in the town of Deerfoot to ven
ture forth on shopping tour. Deer
foot was very much like other small
places in every respect, and Mrs.
Barnes was having great trouble in
securing q servant, which accounts
for the fact that JAMIE was left alone
with the baby. Thus it was that the
mother was compelled to leave her lit
tie ones or go without good Easter
dinner and the Easter eggs jamie loved
to have, for the gladstone day would
dawn on the morrow.
Deerfoot was in the midst OF another
serious trouble; houses had been bro
ken into and burglarized with i'm
punity, and all the efforts of the local
authorities to catch the rascals had
been met with failures. Mrs Barnes
had the burglars in mind when she
cautioned jamie against opening tho
front door, and it was only after con-
siderable of an effort that she made
ZIP her mind to go out.

being correct, for she imagined that
he was something far from human,
who only masqueraded in human dis
guise. But she had very little time to
think of burglars after her mother
went ont. To begin with. the baby
suddenly opened its wondering blue
eyes and had to be entertained.
JAMIE had become quite an expert at
amusing the baby and 1t was a task
In which she delighted. Therefore it
is not surprising that while she was
so busy she should not have noticed
the sound of the door bell ringing.
Finally baby fell asleep. and it was
while jamie was carefully tucking in
the soft covering of the crib that she
heard the noise of Il door suddenly
opening on the ground floor.
In an instant she thought OF the
burglars. What was to be done? Now,
jamie was only a little ten-year-old
girl and possessed the average amount
of courage of her kind, and the first
thing she did was to jump into her
mothers bed at the side of the crib,
draw the coverings closely over her
and pretend to go to sleep.
Although her bright eyes were clos
ed as II in slumber, her keen ears were
alert to catch the faintest noise. She
heard, in the almost death-like still
ness, some one walking quietly, as II
tiptoeing along the hall. Now the steps
sounded on the stairs and came to-
ward the bedroom in which jamie and
the baby were lying. The former

1t is quickly followed by the disap-

next loses the sense of smell, and
then, after n short interval, the tym-

or rather the nerves which run to the
of hearing. The last sense to leave is
that OF touch, and in some hypersen-
sitive people it is hardly ever dormant,
Even in their cases, however, there
is no discriminating power or sense OF
what touched them. This sense is
also the first to return upon awaken

Return we now to Nicksey's house in

and poor Emneline's doubling and
half-crnzed lover.
On foot and ut his sharpest walk.
sometimes breaking into run, pro.
ceeded harrington, with Doctor For
roster, who kept pace with him step
Tor step, constantly by his side.
Edwin, more than ever mystifietl,
had several times commenced to ques-
tion his conductor as to whittier he
was being led, but the only reply he
could obtain from Noel was:
Have patience. mailman, and wait"
which was very impaticnuy and al
most savagely uttered.
And good reason indeed had Barring
ton to be angry, considering the rough
treatment he had received from the
almost demented doctor.
But that was not now the cause of
Noel's ire; he was thinking painfully
OF the alarm and the distress Emme-
line would be enduring ut what she
would perhaps believe his sudden de-
sertton of her at the moment she had
most needed his assistance.
And he shuddcrcd as he asked him
self:
Had Jarvis remained with the poor
girl to be her protector against the
drunken Nicksey, or had she been left
dcfcncelcss and at that rltiian's
mcrcy?"
And the delay forced upon him
might have destroyed all hope of OBJ
tanning possession of those absolutely
necessary letters; and as this ide:,
flashed on his mind he glanced toward
Forester with a stcrnly threatening
look.

A Vigorous Language.

An English gentleman travelling in
France was very much annoyed at the
slowncss of the pace, and wishing to
get the coachman to increase his
speed he tried to speak to him In
French; but he spoke the language
very badly, and as the coachman did
not understand the gentleman lost pa
thence. At last he thought that he
II he could not make him understand
he might at least frighten him by using
some high-sounding words, and he
roared in the ear Of the coachman.
"Westmoreland. Cumberland, North
cumberland, Durhamy' The goodman
thought that this was some terrible
threat, and it had the desired effect,
for he at once whipped up his iorses.
and increased his speed.-Tid-Rits.

harrington smiled.
Perfectly SAFE" he replied. but you
will be at hand, you know, in case Of
alarm"
The officers quilted the room and re-
turned to their potations.
harrington turned the key within the
lock. and Forester drew himself up,
believing that the encounter which had
commenced in the street was about to
be renewed and terminated in that
room.
But harrington threw himself into a
chair and said impaticntly:
May I venture, Doctor Forester, to
ask of you the motive which urged you
to that unceremonious attack which"
You cannot need to ask me that, sir
unless ! have been mistaken in believ-
ing that you are Mr.. Noel Burlington"
And because l happen to bear that
name You imagine yourself justified In
attempting to throttle me on the open
strect!"
You are IN infamous villain" cried
Forester.
You are madman," replied Bar
rington, whom l spare only for the
sake of one whose already too greatly
suffering heart would not willingly
add a pang."
This allusion to Emmcline, coming
whence it did, completed the frenzy Of
her lover, and he was perfectly beside
himself with rage. He rushed toward
Darlington, his arm uplifted to strike,
but ere it could descend, it was seized
and held in vice-lilie grip, while Noel
exclaimed, with great effort controlling
his increasing anger:
Tempt me not too far, Doctor For
roster; l have already borne more
from you than l could have endured
from any other living man."
Forester thrust his face close to
that of his supposed rival and Kissed
forth:
zone or the other of us must cease to
exist, for Ic annot longer breathe the
air OF heaven and know that you are
living tool"
I'll tomorrow you still think thus"
said Noel, you will find me at your
service"
And then proceeded to unlock the
door, against which Forester FASTENED
to place his back that it might not be
opened.
You shall not leave me-" Forester
exclaimed 81 will not quit your side
till YOU have given me the satisfaction
that i demand"
And then. in answer to an agry inpa-
tient gesture from Noel:
''Oh, yes. l know that am keeping
you from her; that she, Emmeline,"
and he writhed and his face was dis
torted with the agony he felt as he pro-
nounced our heroine's name, lis wait
ing for you; but you see her not again
so long as life remains to me-"
II could easily be rid of you," said
Noel; with one word to the officers
now In waiting could place you where
for some hours at least you would
cease to be a trouble to any but your
self, but you shall come with me-"
II have said would not leave you."
roared Forester.
You need lesson. and will give
1t to you" pursued Darlington, and
heaven grant that the delay which you
have forced upon mo may have
wrought no harm to the por girl from
whose side your madness has so long
withheld me and of whose love you
have proved yourself by your vile sus-
picions, SO utterly unworthy"
