"No-hang ii" Packenham respond
ed. Il was haunted everywhere by the
telegram-'My brother died during the
night!-and the girls eyes. / couldn't
forget them, Cleavland, and they
brought me back"
The barrister heard Dereck talk, and
allowed him to rave on, while a food
OF light seemed to be poured upon the
past. Packenham had loved this wo-
man-possibly loved her as well as he
was capable of d~oing-and she, alas
must have loved him! 1t had been pure
affection which had induced her to con.
sent TO the hasty marriage which had
been the beginning OF evil. Love had
brought her 10 England with her dying
brother-loye that was expressed in hel
eager eyes when Dereck first met her
love that had watched and waited, only
TO be cruelty sighted. But was affec.
ton altogether dead within her? Oh
would she, woman-like. forgive all tina,
was past and take this man to her
heart once more? Women were weak;
they pardoned freely. AS for himself
what did he wish, could he put his de
sire into words?
MIR. Cleavland spent that night in a
waking drama. Dereck kept with him
until the former felt that he could have
gone TO the uttermost end of the earth
to be freed frem his companionship.
Packenham questioned and cross-ques-
toned the lawyer as to Afra's daily life.
and wondered IL he could obtain a
glimpse of her, himself unseen. Mr..
Cleavland had no photograph of her, a
fact which appeared greatly TO sur
prise his friend, who, however, listened
patiently to the word portraits which
he compelled the reluctant young man
to repeat Owe and over again; indeed,
Dereck seemed never to tire Of listen
ing.
Then Packenham had his own stories
to r~elate-scOres OF them-and shudder-
ingly the man of high ideals and pure
motives was forced to hear tales OF
wild, lawless, and to him revolving, adj
venture, until Ii seemed as IL he were
passing through some horrible, degrad
ing nightmare.
AT length Mr., CEeavland tore himself
away, and, in his lonely chambers.
wrote two letters-one TO Beta Mans
field, another, enclosed within it, to
Mrs. Packenham
Those missives took him hours to
compose, yet both could have been writ
ten on one sheet OF ordinary paper. He
did not sleep much that night, and
when he did glide into forgetfuIneSs of
the evil day that was before him, 1t
was to fancy himself In the midst OF
Comusi riotous reut-ighting and
struggling TO deliver some yelled form
from its horrible surroundings.
But the darkest day will have it's
aawning, and the longest night come
20 an end. No one coslld have guessed
that the self possessed young barrister,
who delivered a very telling speech in
the courts that morning, was narrassed,
or that the legal procedure seemed I'M
real TO him.

CHAPTER WI.

Dereck Packenham was a man of
Impulses, and not to be depended upon
foE any steady course of action. He
was always forming fresh plans ut I'M
expected moments; and now. tired of
having everything his unbounded
wealth could buy, he. set himself to the
gaining-or rather, the regaining-of
something he had undervatued.
Here was a woman, with command
OF his purse, only taking sums that
Were, he considered. ridiculously small,
and toiling TO support herself when he
would not have grudged her thousands.
Then Cleavland had said, Mrs. Pack
enham is a lovely young woman"
Packenham knew that his friends
taste was TO be depended upon-but he
must judge for himself. Dereck re-
membered Afra's Withholding eyes;
but he remembered that they had their
times of s~oftness. Well, well-he was
on his way to see her, and an hour
would probably turn the balance Of his
life. "A lovely young womaR'-the
wife he had discarded On her bridal
day.

lie thought of her as a flash of sunlight
in a gloomy place; and, as be mounted
the steps of the studio, the contrast be-
tween his life and hers struck him with
something like conjunction. But, if

Friend in Chicago's Ghetto

Israel Zangwill made tour of Chcago's /
Ghetto while in the city, and in small
quarter on the second floor of a Liberty
street tenement the famous novelist and
critic found man who had been the COM
panion of his boyhood days and had often
assisted him before he became the famous
man he is. The mans name is Abraham
Halprin, and he is distant relative of
Zangwill. The two were brought up to.
gether in the Whitechapel district of Lon.
don, but had became separated seventeen
years ago, and until yesterday had,not seen
each other in all those years. Halprin well
remembered Zangwill's first attempt at lit
erature.
lie said the first story written by the nov.
elist was suggested by an advertisement in
weekly paper which offered a prize of s25
for the best manuscript. ZangwiIl at the
time had written a few chapters on Gas
You Like II" but the story was brought to
la standstill owing to the fact that he was
unable to pay his admission to the theater
at which the play was being presented. Hal
prn managed to procure enough money to
buy ticket, which he presented to his
friend, and the latter soon after received
check as the first prize for the story
offered.-Chicago Chronicle.

TERRIBLE FIELD GUN
Invented by Frenchman and Will
Destroy a Regiment

Information by cable is that the French
men. believe that in the new rapid-fre gun
of their army they possess the most deadly
and efficient weapon ever invented. 1t is
OF 2.95 inches caliber, and discharges 20
shells minute Each shell can be loaded
with 25O bullets. Many practical expert
ments have been made with the gun at
Chalons. 1t proved its ability to destroy
q regiment or battery in one minute.
The barrel Of the new gun is of nickel
steel. The breechlock is constructed on the
interrupted screw principle, but greatly
modified from the old form. 1t can be
closed quickly with one motion. The clos
ing of the breech cocks a hammer. The
gunner at the same time holds the lanyard,
