BREHON LAWS OF IRELAND.
Assumed Definite Shape During the
Reign Of King Cormnc In the
Third Century.

When did the Brehon laws assume
their present shape? Do they come as
they now exist from pagan times, or
have they undergone changs in Chris
tan times? AS they exist at present
they come from pagan times, but modi-
fed in Christian times to suit the al
tered condition of the people. In the
reign of King Cormac, toward the mid
die of the third century, the Brehon
laws first assumed definite shape, says
writer in Donahue's. Up to that time
they had been more or less fragmen-
tary. He established a college for their
careful study. They remained without
change until well-nigh 200 years aft
erward, namely, up to the arrival of
St. Patrick. When he had converted
the whole island to Christianity, when
the kings, the chieftains and the whole
nation had become Christians, it is but
natural that the laws should be purged
of the unwholesome leaven of pagan
superstition. To effect this a great
council was summoned to assemble at
Tara in the year 43S A. d. This coun-
Gil consisted of three kings, three bish-
ops and three Brehons. For nine years
they worked increasingly in expunging
from the laws everything that savored
of pagan superstition. They wiped out
anything that was opposed to Chris
tianity, and at length there issued
forth as the result of their la bors the
famous Seanchus Nor which has been
annotated and published more than 30
years ago, the body of laws that served
as the basis of civil rule in the country
for 1900 years.

eyes, it u.s." replied the girl in brown,
froWning at the recollection.
"What was the matter?"
HE basely deceived me-" answered the
girl in brown. "You see, it was this way:
asked him one day to promise me that he
never again would smoke cigarettes, and he
promised. Then asked him to refrain from
the use of tobacco in any form, and he prom
Used to do that. Later l told him had a
horror of anyone who touched liquor, and he
agreed never to touch it,. After that l sug-
gested that l thought clubs had bad int1u-
ence on young men and should expect him
to give them up, and he said he would. l
also took up the subject of gambling, and
made him promise that he would stop play
ing cards and betting on the races"
"Well, you didn't demand great deal
of him, did you?" said the girl in gray. Il
suppose he deceived you in the matter?"
''Broke his promise, did he?"
ooh, no! could have forgiven that. But
just when I was congratulating myself that
at least had reformed one young man l
found that he didn't require any reforming.
He wasn't addicted to single one of the
habits made him promise to break. 1t was
terrible shock, and broke the engagement
at once. There was no longer anything in it
to make it interesting"

CHAPTER XIV.
TWO LOVERS.

Miss Murdoch was seated at the piano
in the drawing-room, her shapely fin
gers wandering dreanily over the keys,
when a servant knocked at the door.
"A gintleman to see yer, MISS" said
the maid.
"a caller!" exclaimed Agnes, in sur
prise. 'At this time of day? Did he
give you his card?"
"No, miss. Nor his name, nayther."
swell, then, Mary" said Agnes, with
mixture of amusement and severity,
why do you announce him? I think
you would better keep an eye on the
hat-rack."
"He amt no thafe, miss" said the
maid, positively; che do be dressed up
too foine fur that. Besoides, Olive sane
him here before. A hansum young
Teller wild rid r-Mister-N1istcr-
Cha-Chapman."
"Chatham!" suggested Agnes, with
sudden seriousness.
''Yis, miss; 1t do be the same" ..
II cannot receive him." said Miss
Murdoch, in frigid tones. II am sur
prised that John should have admitted
him, after the explicit Instructions 1
gave him yesterday. Hereafter l am
never at home to Mr.. Chatham"
"Your butler is not at fault in this
instance said voice from the hall
way, and before either of the women
could recover from her surprise, a
f1ashily dressed young man with in
tensely red hair entered the room. He
carried his left arm in a sling. His
face was pale; his eyes glittered with
a feverish light; his voice quivered
with depressed excitement.
81 was waiting for your father in
his Office, when I heard your maid go
by, and 1 asked her to announce me-
1 hoped for, but l can hardly say 1
expected, more hospitable recep-
ton"
Miss Murdoch, after the first shock
of surprise, had drawn up her grace
full figure to its full height, and stood
looking at the young man with undis-
guised contempt in her flashing eyes.
Chatham paused as if expecting a
reply; and then:
"Shall I explain the object of my
visit before your servant?" he asked,
bitterly.
"You may leave, Mary, until I ring
for you," said the young girl, turning
to the maid.
The woman reluctantly left the
room, casting curious glances upon
her young mistress and her unwel-
come guest as she went.
Chatham made a motion as if to
take chair: but Agnes remained sig
nifcantly standing.
"Perhaps," she said, coldly, ''you
will be good enough to explain as
briefly as possible your object in fore
ing your presence upon me in this I'M
gentlemanly way?"
II suppose my conduct does strike
you as ungentlemanly," said the
youngman piteously; "but what could

CalifOfnia,a OranRea-

The capital invested in orange grow
ing in the state of California is esti-
mated at S14,OOO,OOO. AS the bulk of
the oranges comes from seven of the
southernmost counties of the state
Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernar-
dino, Orange, San Diego, Santa Bar
bara and Ventura-some idea may be
gained of the vast utility of this work
in the United States to Uncle Sam.
The number of nonfruit bearing
orange trees in this district is said to
be about 1927, 600, and those now
yielding fruit 2.072,4O0. When all
these trees are yielding the luscious

casion called for it. Summoning at
length his fortitude and his pride, he
proceeded to carry out what he con-
ceived to be the duty OF a gentleman un-
der the circumstances.
Picking up the letter again, he placed
it unread in an envelope, into which
he slipped his card, with brief ex-
PLANTATION of the finding of the paper.
Then. after addressing the envelope, he
started out to mail it himself.
Thomas Chatham!" he unused, as he
went down the stairs; Thomas Chat
ham! Why, he is the man who took
such pains to inform me that Miss Muir
dock was betrothed, or on the point of
being betrothed--the flashily dressed
young man with red hair who is SO
regular an attendant at the Murdocl1s'
informal receptions, and who never
seems to be invited on state occasions:
an insignificant and conceited puppy.
Poor girl, what a pity that she should
throw herself away upon such a man.
But, if he marries her, he shall make
her happy, or else"
The balance of his thought was not
put into words; but his face became set
in stern lines and his hands clenched in
grim determination.
Sprague, with the letter for Miss
Murdoch in his hand, hurried to the
nearest letter box, raised the lid of the
drop, inserted the letter in the slot and
then frightened his grasp of it and be-
gan to think.
The letter, if mailed, might perhaps
not reach it's destination until the fol-
lowing morning. 1t might be of impor-
lance, since it had been sent by mes
senger and to the studio instead of to
Miss Murdock's house. Besides, Miss
Murdoch would probably be worried
when she discovered that she had lost
it. 1t ought therefore to be returned
to her at once.
The letter, by this time, had been
withdrawn from the slot of the letter
box.
Yes, it ought to be returned by mes
senger instead of by mail. BY messen'

CHAPTER XIII.-CoNr1SuED.

II asked to see DR.. Henderson," he
continued, ''at which the sleepy clerk
stared at me in open-mouthed amaze
ment. DR.. Henderson was not in; it
was quite uncertain when he would
be in. Indeed, as far as I was able
to judge, DR.. Henderson appears to be
rather mysterious parsonage. No
one knows much about him. Even his
clerk admits that he has seen him
only once or twice in the 10 months
during which he has had charge of
the Office. The doctor attends to the
manufacturing part of the business
himself; his laboratory, which is
down in the cellar, is a most jealousy
guarded place. No one is ever adj
mitted to it under any pretext. He is
evidently afraid that some one may
discover the secret of his valuable
remedies"
''You say that as if your words were
meaning" said Dunlap, studying the
reporters face. ~.
NO." Sturgis answered, thought
fully, "but I am trying to attach
some Interior significance to the
facts. There is certainly something
mysterious about DR.. Henderson and
the Manhattan Chemical company;
but whether the mystery is legitimate
or not, and if not, whether it is in any
way connected with the Arbogast
case, is more than I am at present
able to determine"
After short pause he continued:
'When found that there was no
chance of seeing DR.. Henderson HIM
self, inquired at a venture for the
manager. For an instant puzzled
look lent expression to the otherwise
vacuous features of the young man.
Then q sudden inspiration seemed to
come to him. oh! ali! yes he eN-
claimed, you mean Mr.. Smith Yes

Mr.. Smith is not in, either I offered
to wait for Mr.. Smith, and started to-
ward the door of the private Office in
the rear, because it bore in prominent
letters the inscription: NO ADMIT
TANCE.' I had turned the knob be-
fore the clerk could stop me; but the
door was locked. Mr.. Smith, it seems,
comes to the Office only once week to
receive the clerks report and to pay
him his salary. I tried to make spe-
cial appointment to meet Mr.. Smith, on
the plea of important business. I left
a fictitious name and address so that
Mr.. Smiths answer might be sent to
me. That was all was able to do for
the time being; but thought it worth

Dunlap rose YEARLY from his chair.
He looked anxious and careworn.
"M1r. Sturgis," he said, IF you can
find any part of that $25o,ooo, good
share of whatever you can recover
for the bank is yours"
The reporter flushed and bit his lip;
but he answered quietly:

CHAPTER XIV.
THE LETTER.

There is magic in the refreshing
sleep of youth calculated to exercise
the megrims. When Sprague, arising
after good nights rest, found the
world bathed in the sunshine of a
crisp January day, he felt the physical
pleasure of living which comes from
supple muscles, from the coursing of a
generous blood through the veins,
from the cravings of healthy appe-
tite.
He remembered the "blue devils" of
the day before, and found it difficult to
account for them. He was in love, GER
tainly. But that in itself did not fur
nish sufficient reason for desponden-
CIV. It was rumored that the object of
his affections was on the eve of be-
trothal to another. But what depend
ence can be placed upon a public ru-
NOR? AS a matter of fact Miss Muir
dock wore no rings; in the absence of
the badge of the betrothed woman,
was he not justified in believing her
fancy free?
In that case, there was fair field
and no favor. Why should not he have
as good a chance of winning the prize
as another man? No man, of course.
was worthy Of Agnes Murdoch. That
was the fundamental axiom. But in
love success does not perch only upon
the banner of the worthy 1fit did, the
human race would soon become ex-
tinct.
So the young mans thoughts ran on,
while hope once more found a resting
place in his heart.
Miss Murdoch was not to pose again.
but Sprague was eager to work On the
portrait. He was about to step into
the studio after breakfast, when the
housekeeper announced call from his
lawyer, who wished to consult him
about some important matters. The
entire morning was thus consumed in
necessary but tedious business, and it
was not until after luncheon that the
artist was at last free to set to work.
Uncovering the portrait, he stood off
to examine it. AS he did so, something
white upon the floor caught his eye.
He stopped to pick it up. 1t was let
ter in beautifully regular masculine
hand. Mechanically he turned it over
and unfolded it. His eyes carelessly
swept the written page; then in fash
he realized what it was, and he flung it
violently from him.
Only a few words had left their i'm
press upon his retina-a few scattered
words and signature. But these were
branded deep upon his brain for all
time, in letters of fire which burned
their way to his very soul. For he had
recognized the letter which had been
delivered by the messenger to Miss
Murdoch the Gay before, and he had
seen enough to know that it was
couched in words of passionate love. In
that instant was quenched the last ray
of hope which had lurked within his
heart. Overwhelmed with sense of
utter desolation, he sank back upon
divan, and for long time renamed
lost in bitter reflections.
But Sprague. in spite OF his diet
taute;sn, was man OF grit when oc-

ger? It was about half mile to the
nearest district messenger office. The
Murdocks' house was not much further.
Why not deliver the letter himself?
Why not, indeed? The human heart
has unfathomable depths. Why should
a hopeless lover pine for mere sight
of the woman whose presence only adds
to his misery? Explain that who can.
Sprague carefully placed the letter
in his breast pocket and started off
again, this time directing his steps
toward the Murdocks' home.
