She followed him down the carpeted
stairs into the large, dark hall below.
He turned on the-efeetric light. No one
was in the library Or the adjoining
drawing room, but low voices were
heard outside. Passing through the sitz
ting room, which lay beyond the draw
ing room toward the rear, they met Mr..
Montcastle and Miss Alice Benton en-
tering at door that opened on to side
veranda. Both of them were dressed as
if they were prepared for journey.
"Hello!" cried Stanwood. What

''Trouble%' echoed Montcastle. 81
I don't know. What do y-you mean?
The fact u.s., Miss Benton and p His
words failed him. He fumbled with the
buttons of his ulster and stared at them
through the semidarkness. Miss Benton
leaned on his arm, put her handkerchief
to her face and was silent.
''The report of the revolver, Or ex-
plosion, or whatever it was, in the
garden" said Stanwood. Didn't you
hear it?'' .-
"No," cried Alice, uncovering her
face. "What-who heard it?''
81 did, answered Miss Hastings.
"It must have been an hour ago. 1t
sounded as if it came from the garden
down toward the north walk
''It may have been nothing worth
bothering about said Stanwood.

They succeeded in catching the de-

hour were approaching the Benton

there.
The gray Of early morning was just
beginning to show suggestion Of yell
low. The dew upon the grass looked
hard and white like frost. From the
street the two men could see that the
front part Of the house was lighted.
They had reached small gate opening
into the central walk, that led to the
front door, and Lampkin put out his
hand to open it.
"Wait," said Hendricks, his broad
brow wrinkling thoughtfully. "The
carriage gate down there at the corner
of the lot shows indications of not hav-
ing been closed carefully. The gardener
who has kept this lawn and shrubbery
in such perfect trim would not go to

"You have the eye of an eagle"
laughed Lampkin.
"Come on" said the detective, lead
ing his companion down the sidewalk
to the gate mentioned. He stood for a
moment critically studying the walk
and the gutter at the edge of the street;
then he smacked his lips thoughtfully
and opened the gate.
Il thought you usually went directly
to the scene Of murder and traced de-
velopments from there" remarked the
doctor. .'.,...

exclamation as he bent close = the

As seaman does all washing. mending
and making of his clothes, one of the
busiest evenings on a man-of-war is
scrub hammocks and wash clothes
night. Jack is supplied with two canvas
hammocks. one of which he 'slings,"
that is. makes 1t ready for use and con-
tinues to use 1t for a week or longer; the
other he scrubs early in the week. and it
Is kept by the sailmaker until clean ham
mocks are served out to be 'slung," says
the Pittsburg Dispatch. When the men
have been "piped to supper" and the or
der has been given to scrub and wash
Clothes" the necessary fresh water is
served out after supper in large tubs, and
the upper deck resembles a snipe marsh
until about p. m, when the clothes have
all to be hung up on specially prepared
lines. where they are lef, until dry. For
securing the clothes to these lines the
rules are very strict to enforce uniformity
and safety of the clothes and a nice. tidy
appearance from the outside of the ship;
thus certain lines are for b,ue clothes on
ly. others for hammocks. The clothes
and hammocks have to be secured close
together, and one line filed up before an
other is commenced.

SHE DANCES POETRY.
An Original Young Woman Who
Rccitea In Prone.

There Is another young woman who has
become famous lately in a rather novel
way-Miss Isadore Duncan. who trans
lates poems into dance.
Miss Duncan is a very pretty girl of
about twtney-three or four. who began
her public career as one Of the dancers
in Days famous New York production
Of the "Geisha.''
Then the idea came to her OF illustrat-
ing famous potms by sor Of continuous
moving living picture. that would ex-
press the emotions her dance as she
terms It, being accompanied by both mu-
SIC and recitation.
For nop;hs. says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. she studies. and about two years
ago she began giving rectais at some Of
the best private houses in the country.
Her sister reci;es the poems, her moth
er accompanies them on the piano, and
the brother, Raymond Dunc:p. Is gen.
eral business manager OF the concern
quite a family firm, take 1t al together.
Both the girls wear distinctive dresses
while P.rforrning. Miss Isadore using a
very Sigh. costume indeed. being short
as TO skirr and thin and scant as TO ma
.erial while her sister appears m long
classical clinging skirts. Both the girls
abhor any wearing apparel that is sim
in any way-they have even invented
kind of shoe which has remarkably hexi-
BILE, soies. and is rather peculiar looking
all around.
They have beautiful apartments at Car
negie Music Hall. and for two seasons
have given dancing lessons to the children
of the -four hundred but they say that
branch of the work is to be given UP dur
ing the coming year, as they have more
engagements to perform at private houses
than they can fulfill, and have many en-
gagements for the London season,
Their success shows how extremely
lucky is the per son who succeeds in sup
plying society with a new fad. They have
become the style. and no hostess in New
York thinks she has reached the height
of what she would like to provide as en-
tertainment for her guests unless she has
had a poem or two dome into dance"
in her carlors.
The Duncans one and ALL are treated
with the highest respect by their wealthy
patrons, and their Sunday evening ''at
homes are always very pleasant and
brilliant affairs
They say that their only objection 20
the work is that people are so prudish as
to the matter of dress-Miss Isadora cam
not show the poses to the best advantage
hampered as she is with clothes
After seeing the young lady perform. II
would seem almost sarcasm to hear this
remark. but they thoroughly and honsly
mean every word they say. However. at
the present rate at which New York So
ciety is being educated" up 10 that style
of thing they will very likely not have
long to wait before she may attain the de-
sired state of artistic undress, which she
considers necessary. I4s
In the meantime she had better, be sat
isfied with the fame she has, and the two
or three hundred dollars she succeeds in
getting for one Of her performances

Wedding Gown, for Rent.

There is surious shop in New York.
says the Press, where wedding finery is
kept for rent. II is an East Side specuia-
tion. and so far the owner finds that 1t
pays.
The proprietor OF the shop does not
pose as a philanthropist, but she supplies
demand not otherwise provided for.
Shrewdly guessing that satin only would
be far enough beyond the reach of the
average East Side bride TO tempt her to
hire a dress for a wedding. she keeps no
other kind on hand. The satin. however.
is of various grades and prices. and the
gowns vary in elegance of style.
You want a wedding dress?' she OBJ
serves as an embarrassed young woman
makes known her business. Yes. l have
'em. What kind do you want?''
You want a new one-never worn be-
fore-and nice? That will cost you Sl2.
Too much? Why the dress is elegant,
full and long. and beautiful lace on it.

II the bride-to-be is anxious to make an
impression on her acquaintances with the
splendor OF her bridal finery, She has the
dress sent home several days before the
wedding. and displays 1t as the chef
d'oeuvre of her limited trousseau. There
are those who may guess that it is only
a temporary possession. of the BRIDE but
any suggestion to that effect is indig-
nantly spurned.
The owner of the wedding dress never
loses sight of II unless she has ample
guarantee of the responsibility of the
parties hiring it. and when the ceremony
is over she Is on hand to take care of II.
and the bride has no further worry about
II.

comes somewhat boisterous, and in the
