MRS. Nettleton?" echoed Celeste. in
O sweet but rather supercilious tone.
She looked first at Marcia, then at
Noel. "Mrs. Nettleton?" she repeated,
with a stronger emphasis.
"Yes, Mrs. Nettleton," said Noel, polk

added: by an unexpected but most
fortunate chance Mrs. Nettleton has ar

Marcia, forgetful OF her own suspi-

started the story OF the strange events
which had brought her 10 Mr.. Forrest

in silence, but 20 Marcia's dismay a
look Of undisguised incredulity spread
over her handsome features as the tale
proceeded. Once only she interrupted.
''The gentleman you speak.of as Fred

as she walked downstairs. In the hall
the man-servant was busy polishing her
bicycle. On the sight of her he desist-
ed and FASTENED TO open the dining
room door. She went in and glanced
quickly round. Fred was eating kid
neys with hearty appetite. He laid
down his knife and fork and greeted her
with a "Hurrah!" Noel Forester rose
from the head Of the table and bowed
most politely. Celeste was not 10 be

emphasis on the name) had slept we'll
The morning seemed somehow so diff
ferent from the night before that she
could do no more than murmur con-
ventional "very, thank you" Yet she
had meant to say something quite other
than this.
'Really we're both most awfully
obliged to you," said Fred to his host.
"Not many fellows would put them

Marcia's answer was slight inclinn-

busy with the question OF Celeste.

good humor and tallative, "all I Gun
say is that if / ever marry hope my

The thing had come! Marcia dared
not look up, dared meet neither Fred's
eye nor Noels. She gaxed fixedly at
the tablecloth, awaiting the exposure
that must follow. Well, she would not
be struck without striking back. What

Special Inducements For Clubmakers to
Get New Subscribers.
READ CAREFULLY and GO TO WORK TODAY.

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
ID MARCH, It Is usual for the people OF this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one Of the cleanest,
most enterprlsing and reliable newspapers in
the state, It il natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILLE ENQUIRER should also be
one Of the most popular. Ninety per cent. Of
the families In the county desire It as regu-
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford it, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One Of the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, is the inconven:
ience OF writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time. It is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecially desirable for US, just mt this time, TO
secure the services Of large number OF intel
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make 1t
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price of a single subscription one year
is TWO DOLLARS. This Is to the individual
who does not give his name to q clubmaker /;
but sends 1t direct to this. Office. In clubs,
however, the price is only CNE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubmaker,
and the price which, under all circumstances,
he is expected to pay us. Now to our propo-
sitiOnS.

dence of the cowardice Of the man he
hated. He alleviated his indignity, in
the meantime, by resorting to the cup,
and so was drunk two-Lhirds of the
time he was awake, and his sleep was
filled with dreams of vengeance.
Jack Culp was in the bar of the AL
MAIDEN saloon, and was relating, for
the thousandth'time, his version of the
difficulty with Frank Mason, and VOW
ing to kill him the moment he saw
him, when he was startled by hearing
the words:
"Mason is here, and now is your
time ~
Jack Culp dropped his glass on the
floor, and, turning, saw Frank Mason
about ten PAGES off.
"You have threatened to kill me-
now is your chance!" said Mason,
raising his weapon.
Jack Culp looked at the young farm.

A LESSON IN FRACTIoNs.-"Now,
boys" said the teacher, II have few
questions in fractions. Suppose l had
a piece of beefsteak and cut it in two
pieces, what would those pieces be
called ?" "Halves," shouted the class.
"Correct; and if I cut each half in
two pieces ?" "Quarters." "That's
right, and if the quarters are each cut
in half ?" "Eighths." "Quite so, if
those were each chopped in two?"
"Sixteenths. Every good, and when
the sixteenths were cut what were
those pieces called" Here there was
some hesitation, but in moment two
boys said, "thirty-seconds." "Just
right, just right" said the teacher, "and
now we will chop those in half. What
have we now?" Silence followed this
question, while the boys shifted un-
easily and the audience held its breath.
"Do none of you know?" inquired the
teacher. "Come, I'm sure that some
one can tell me-" There was a mo-
ment's pause, and then hand was
raised, and the smallest boy in the
class piped out, "Please, sir, I think |
know" "Well, Johnnie, what is it ?"
"Hash," said the youngster, and there
was burst of applause.
