kingscott went downstairs to seek Ber-
tie. with whom he meant to go to the rail
way station to welcome the bride and
bridegroom home. He could not find
BERTHE for some time, and began to feel
half vexed and half alarmed by the lads
disappearance, especially as he received
a hint from the attendant that the young
gentleman seemed q wee bit fond of q
drap. He heard bell ringing, and ran
with all his might up the hill to the rail-
way station, where Mr.. Moncrieff's car
riage and half a dozen other vehicles
were in waiting for the arrival of the
train from Perth. Kingscott was a little
late, as he was vexed to see. Mr.. and
Mrs. Moncrief came out of the station
just as he reached it; and his congratula-
tons were somewhat spoiled in effect by
the fact that he uttered them in a voice
which showed that he was very much out
Of breath.
"Bertie came with me, but we stopped
to say word or two to a friend in the
street, and lost sight of him." said
Kingscott, with admirable candor. "He
IL following me, l suppose; We shall see
him presently"
And then he halted in his speech. A
terrible sight met his eyes. A group of
little boys had set up shrill hurrah at
the sight Of drunken man"-yet not a
man. but a slight, tall, handsome lad,
whose eyes were wild, whose face was in
famed, who swayed from side to side in
his endeavOr to keep himself straight as
he staggered across the roadway. Ralph
made a rush forward, but Alan Mon
Grief, with face as white as death, laid
hand on his arm.
"Wait one moment" he said. II must
put my wife into the carriage first. Then
you and l will get that wretched lad
home between us. The only thing we can
do il to hide his shame-and our own
the best we can"
And that was Stella's homecoming.

CHAPTER XII.

Alan Moncrief was extremely shocked
and distressed to find that BERTHE had
taken many steps in downward course,
which he had never dreamed that the
lad was likely to tread at all. A few care
full aad confidential inquiries in the town
elected the fact that BERTHE was by no
means a. quiet and home-loving a. his
father had always credited him with be-
ing; that he was well known in various
very questionable resorts, and that he had
q great love for cards. Stella firmly be-
lieved that Ralph Kingscott was at the
was responsible for the boys gradual de-
clension. But when she limited this view
Of the case to her husband she was met
with an expression Of cold displeasure
which silenced her at once.
She overheard q scrap of conversation
which confirmed her secret suspicious in
a rather curious way. She wanted to
talk to Berie-who had not yet made
his appearance in public after his escapade
and Mr.. Moncrief had told her that she
would probably find him in the octagon
room, where he generally pursued his
studies under Kingscott's superintend-
ence. Thither Stella betook herself about
six o'clock one evening. She came quiet
~ through the long gallery-so quietly
that her footsteps made no sound upon
the polished 6oor-and paused for O mo-
ment before she drew the portiere before
the entrance to the octagon room. She
paused simply to collect her thoughts, to
renew her courage; but in that pause
voices fell upon her ear.
you'll do nothing of the kind" Ralph
Kingscott was saying, coolly. IF you
say one word about it I'll tell your father
the whole Of that little transaction of
yours with Winner, and then"
mo! oh, no." Bertie's voice, full of agi-
tation and appeal, was heard to say.
"Oh, don't tell him that. He would never
forgive me. will do anything you like
won't say a word"
And then Stella drew the curtain aside,
and found, as she had already OWNED,
that the door was open. BERTHE was ly-
ing on sofa, his head half buried in the
cushions; Mr.. Kingscott was lounging in
an armchair, with his arm behind his
head. He cast look of positive hatred
ut Stella as she came in; look in which
malignity and cunning were SO blended
that she did not like to remember it after
ward, although ut the time itself it pro-
duced little impression upon her.
Mrs. Moncrieff!'' he exclaimed, start
ing to his feet, with a sort of disagree
ably exaggerated politeness. 1--WE never
expected this honor, did we, BERTHE? My
young pupil and seem to have had
proscriptive right to this part of the
house for SO long that we are quite un-
used to visitors. But Of course we must
look for changes now"
There was subtle sting in this remark
which was not lost upon Stella's percep-
lions, but she did not choose to attend to
Mr.. Kingscott's insinuations at that mo-
msnt She turned at once toward BERTHE,
who did not raise his face from the pillow
against which it was pressed. She could
sread shame in the boys attitude. and she
hastsned to lay her hand gently on his

The NJ. H. Burt Cycle company. now
located at 253 North Man street. will
move into the old Bryan building at 239
North Main street. July /. and after
that date will be known as the NJ. H.
Burt Cycle Manufacturing company.
Only a few wheels will be built this
summer but beginning October ! they
will turn out FIVE wheels per day. In
conversation with an Eagle man yes
terday. Mr.. Burt. who VIII fill the posi-
ton of secretary and manager Of the
new company, said:
I'VE are making no talk Of what we
are gong to do but We believe there if
good opening for a concern Of this
kind here and there is no reason why
We cannot build just as good a bicycle
as any one and considering the fact
that labor is cheap and our running ex-
penses will not be so great as factories
in the larger cities. we expect 20 make
just as good a bicycle as is possible to
be made and put it on the market at a
lower price. We will make three differ
ent bicycles, to list at $50. $50 and $76,
respectively. These will be our regu-
lar stock wheels, but We will also make
speciality Of making wheels to order
from s35 to SIS This will be different
system from that used by any other
concern, and We believe good one, as
there are always few people who want
a bicycle a little different from any
they get already made. We will en-
ploy about fifteen men after October ],
and will occupy the three stories and
basement the building the 239 North
Nam.
"a little later on I can tell you more
about our plans, but as you know, it Is
too late now for 81 business. But We
expect 10 have one hundred '9S wheels
ready for the market by November L."
Wichita is no wone Of the best bicycle
towns in the country, but Mr.. Burt
says they will not depend on the retail
trade here, but expect most Of their
business from this state and the south
west. Mr.. Burt has now had four years
experience in this business exclusively
and associated with him viii be Mr. A.
NJ Carr, who has built and sold over
thirty bicycles in this and adjoining
towns in the past two years. Mr.. Carr
has had nine years experience in this
line and would make a good man with
any factory. The balance Of the force
will be Wichita men with the exception
of two or three men from one Of the
largest factories in the east

The demand for day labor, and espe-

been so great that the local employ
ment agencies have been at loss to
know what 10 do The farmers have
been making inquiries at their county
seat towns for labor and they in turn
have been drawing on this city for all
the idle men that could be pressed into
service. Men are wanted all over
southern Kansas and Oklahoma, and
good prices are being offered.

II was rumored on the street yester-

MILWAUKEE,, Dec. 1.-(Special Tele-
baseman Of the Chicagos and J. d. W. King,
who has charge Of score card privileges in
the western league circuit, are applicants
for the Grand Rapids franchise forfeited by
Robert Leadley, and have filed an application
with President johnson for permission to in,
stall the Grand Rapids team in Omaha next
year special meeting for the Western
League will be held in Chicago next week
to determine what disposition is to be made
OF the Grand Rapids franchise, and II Mr.
Pfeffer and Mr.. King can make a satisfactory
financial exhibit, Omaha will be counted as
the eighth city in the circuit as the successor
to Grand Rapids. Mr. King was in Milwau-
kee yesterday and called on President
Killilea, OF the Milwaukee club, to whom he
outlined his plans. He said he had ample
backing TO insure the successful launching
of baseball team in the Nebraska city, and
pointed out the advantages that would accrue
TO the other clubs in the circuit by having
Omaha in the league, as the playing of games
in that city would break the long Jump from
Milwaukee to Minneapolis, Detroit and Co.
lumbus to Kansas City, and stated that the
people in Omaha were anxious to witness
contests in the diamond again. President
killilea has favored the selection of Omaha
as a successor to Grand Rapids for two years
or more, and Manning of Kansas City, Comis-
key OF 81. Paul and Lotus OF Columbus are
said to coincide with the views expressed by
the Milwaukee magnate If the Grand Rap
ids franchise is sold to Mr.. King and
Pfeffer. the latter will manage the team and
play second base, and as he is an ecellent
judge of players, the Omaha club will un-
doubtedly make a fine showing in the west
ern league race next season.
