CHAPTER XVIII.

1t seemed as il DIR. Peele had some ink
ding in his mind Of the fact that the even
ing visit of his young colleague was of
leeper import than usual. After one
glance at Armathwaite's face he turned
his own away from the lampight and be-
gan his accustomed questions about the
days work in hurried and nervous man
ueR.

sect which distresses you, sir" said
Frank. "But l have come, as / think

grateful to you if you win at least let me

tween these four walls from evils could

here for the express purpose of releasing
Alma Crosmont from the unhappy cir
cumstances in which she is placed, and

at present more at heart than anything in
the world. DIR. Peele, you must surely
agree with me that her mind is in dan
ger. You have influence with Crosmont;
he is anxious to retain your good opinion.
Can you not induce him to send his wife
away for timer
DR.. Peele looked at the youn man with
solemn, plaintive earnestness, and shook
his head

"Her husband. Doesn't he know
doesn't he suspect it?"
ssNo. You shall learn it in good time;
but we will take the other story first
Alma's." He paused, arranging the ma
terial Of his narrative in his mind. Then
he began in low, monotonous voice.
He told how, twenty-five years ago, the
house where Ned Crosmont and his wife
lived was private lunatic asylum, kept
BY a relation Of his, doctor Of reputa'
ton and ability. Here Alma's father, Z
musician, had been sent by his wife's paf.
ents. He had gone mad over writing an
opera called psyche" He was also
possessed Of mesmeric powers, which he
had exercised over Ais wife until she lost
~ control over her own will.
The mad musician remained in the asy.
Inn until his wife's parents fetched him
~ again, when they thought she was 60.

Characteristic Songs,

Under Christian influences the songs
of the Fijians are fast becoming OBJ
solete; in them the national character
found expression. These songs, or
mekkes, as they are called, recount
the story of some ancient hero Of some
military campaign or naval expedition,
or, perhaps, Of peaceful fishing ex-
cursion. They are generally sung Of
evenings by the men only, who assem-
bic for the purpose in one of their long,
low huts. Here they sit in solemn state
light being that of smoky fire in one
end Of the room. One man begins the
chant alone, a second soon joins him,
then few more, till finally all present
have taken it up, accompanying the wild
music by much pantomime and earnest
gesticulation. The time Is beaten upon
a wooden drum by one Of their number,
and Is occasionally accentuated by
general clapping of the hands. After
a certain climax has been reached, the
music stops quite abruptly with ono
loud clap. YangOna, the national bev.
erage, is then served. This liquor il
brewed with much Formally, accom-
panied with low chanting. When fully
prepared 1t Is handed round in cups of
cocoanut shell, the chief being the first
to drink The others then drink in a
certain order Of precedence. The liquor
is OF dirty yellow color and has a Bit
ter, aromatic taste, not altogether dis
agreeable. Used in moderation. it acts
as stimulant, but If INDUCED in too
freely temporary paralysis OF the
lower extremities follows. and the VIC
tim, while perfectly rational, reels and
staggers as If drunk.

Der Of manicures already In the busl-
ness, the crowd OF beginners does not
diminish. Nearly every place has It's
apprentices.
The days of the manicure, with her
private establishment, in which she
worked alone or possibly with one or
two assistants, seem TO be nearing
their end rapidly. Some women are
able to do business In this way, but
not many of them. Formerly rs cents
and 81 were the customary fees for
manicure's services. Now so cents is
the usual fee, and in some places only
25 cents is asked, and the compromise
suggested by 35 cents is the figure in
other establishments. The women who
try to keep small establishments are
compelled to charge more, and their
clientele Is made up entirely of regu-
lar customers, as the public is likely to
find out nothing about them
WAGE CHANCES FOR WOMEN.
"The decrease in this class of mani
cures is easily enough understood when
one observes the rapidity with which
the large places have increased in
number Some Of these employ as
many as twenty girls. Their great
advantage Is that one is never COM
PEELED to wait, There LIS always a
vacant table with an unemployed ope-
rator, who will start work at once. In

icure establishments on a large scale
which made delay unnecessary, and
they succeeded from the outset. One
large place uptown is conducted by a
company, and there are now half a
dozen places employing from ten to
twenty girls. A comfortable, we'll
dressed looking lot they are and they
attend closely to business. They re-
ceive from $12 to s1S week, and in
addition great many fees. That is
one incident of the new phase of the
business. Formerly, when she came to
the house or when she had her own
place of business, nobody thought Of
tipping the manicure. But now that
like the waiter and the barber, she is
one of a number of employees, the ma
lignant feeling system has sent out a
branch in a new direction.
New York is said to have more
manicures than any other city. Paris
has a much smaller number, and so
has London. In Berlin they are prac-
tically unknown, and Vienna has but
a few. The English manicure is rough
and inexpert. She slashes away, and
then tries to hide her guilty tracks by
covering the fingers over with pink
salve. The services of the American
manicure are so highly priced in Lon
don that some of the shops advertise
them. But they are, as a rule, poor
British limitations. The French are ex-
cellent, and those of other continental
cities are said to be capable, without
possessing the deftness and rapidity of
the Americans. Most of the women
in the business here are of native
birth.

of a hotel waiter named walcott. she

balance of $4,000 was, in fact, found in
his possession when he was arrested.
THE SOFA DISCOVERED.
The arrest of the waiter, Walcott, did
not occur until after Mrs. Reineman's
return to this country. His confession
was the first piece OF direct evidence
that incriminated her and her para
mour. The discovery of the sofa soon
followed. In 1t We're found 4,03o notes.

Her testimony was equally damaging
