Where shall I send to, ma'am, or
will you take the parcel?" asked Pur-
day.
ooh, it's small; I'll take the parcel"
said she, taking it up. Good morn
ing, sir"
With such dreadful Americanism
Mrs. Aurelia Dexter walked out into
the street and paused, with long
breath.
Goodness" she muttered, I am then
changed so effectually that even my
even George Crewe hadn't notion of
recognition. Mercy! then that villain
won't, l guess, and l am safe! Heaven
be praised for the yellow fever, paint,
powder, dye, etc. Even that-he
wouldn't. Oh, if only the beauty
wasn't gone what might I not still do
and laugh at discovery! daren't trust
well, George Crewe. He might be a
bother. Let him go. l know where
he is if l need him, and I'm glad he's
not hard up"
She reached the corner here, crossed
over New Oxford street, and got into
, bus to return home.
She little dreamt then how danger
Gus a trifle, for her schemes, she car
ried with her in that antique pair Of
ear-drops which she meant to trade
off, at the very reasonable profit of
cent, for cent.
When she was gone Joseph Purday
said to his assistant:
Il say, Ephaim, that lady, fancy,
knew t'other chap, Mr.. Crewe. Sure Of
it, too. She started when he spoke,
and looked at him sharp as sharp for
a second when he turned to her.

CHAPTER x.
A Welcome Visitor.

Eveline Faber did not quite trust
f1y-away little Lady Flora's rather OPP
timist report of Erleston's ability to
receive a visitor, and therefore chose
rather to ask the doctor first about it
that evening, after he had just been
over to the Hall to see his patient.
Well, my DEAR" he said, medita-
lively, Il think, on the whole-it's
scarcely over week that he has been
out OF his room. you see no, don't
go to see him till next week, at any
rate, and even then send in a mes
sage first to Mrs. Sayile. She will
know exactly what he could bear or
wish at that particular time"
Very well. You are sure, then that
your confidence in this young protegee
of yours is not over-rating herr"

old physician, with twinkle Of fun.

was at eighteen"
''Handsomer."
Well it is a pity, Because in little
country town or village like this there
is sure to be jealousy and unkind gos-
sip about her."
"Oh, yes, she knows all about IL. She
has lived and knocked about the world
for herself, and is woman of the
world, and cares nothing for storm-in-

"Ha! ha! yes; but we're not at all

it. When Wilfred marries it will be for
love only. l wonder if he would be al
lowed or allow me to see him YETI"
she added.
You? Oh, yes, Eveline, I should
think so. Ask the doctor and call in
on us one day. Mrs Savile would
know whether you could see Wilfred."
"I'll LOOK round soon. Here is Rachel
to announce luncheon, so come in
doors"
And indoors both ladies betook
themselves accordingly.

CHAPTER VIII.
EveIine Fnrber.


Lady Flora stood at the open win
dow Of the morning-room. watching
something SO intently that her hus-
band, who was within, asked, merrily:
What are you looking at so, Chat
terbox mine?"
Me, dear? 1 was looking after Will
fred and Mrs. Savile. They are going
across towards the slhrubbery."
You don't mean that he is walk
ing?" exclaimed Mowbray, aghast.
Bernie, how could such an absurd
idea ever occur to you? OF course not.
He is in the garden chair, and she is
pushing it as usual. l am certain he
looks better even in this one week.

would do more for him now than any

ooh, dear, yes quite right rejoined
the little lady, with emphasis. And

Mowbray's blue eyes twinkled at this

self-evdent fact.

obtuseness.
Flora laughed and fiicked out her
fingers.

he can be got to do so at all till he is

In ten minutes Lady Flora was off

, ponies, to whom her whip was almost
unknown.
When she had made her purchases in
lockwood she drove off into the road
by which Mowbray had brought Clare
Savile, and which was called the Elm
road, from the splendid elms scattered
along its length. Clare had, in fact,
been driven past the old doctors house,
The Laurels, halfway between the sta
ton (by that road and the park
gates.
The origin of the name of the place
was at once self-evident, for the large
garden was enclosed by thick high
laurel hedge within the palings. The
house was roomy cottage ornee of
two stories, built in the midst of the
garden, with trees about it near enough
for picturesqueness and sufficient
shade, but not enough to darken or
dampen. A gravel sweep skirted the
lawn to the hall door at one side, leav-
ing to the whole frontage a long veran-
da, covered with climbing roses and
honeysuckle which scented the air with
their perfume.
There was a accompanied carriage
gate and postern next to it, both on
the latch by day, and here Lady Flora
pulled up, and standing up looked over
the gate.
"Ah! there she is" as she saw lady
on the lawn busy with some flower
pots. She had on a brown straw
basin-hat, holland bib-apron, huge
garden scissors hanging at her waist,
and a small trowel in her hand. She
was a woman of from eight-and-t thirty
to forty, but rudy and comely, des-
pite somewhat large features. She
looked the spinster cyrsy inch, some
how, yet not in an invidious or ungrac-
ious sense. Certainly strong minded,
too, and downright to abruptness when
she chose, but withal utterly sincere
and good to the core.
'Hulloa!' said Lady Flora, looking
over the gate from the phaeton.
The lady lifted herself sharply, turn
ed and flung down the trowel.
"Hulloa!" she returned, and came
striding across the lawn. you, is it?
That is good to see, That's it. Come
in"
For Flo had opened the gates and
led the ponies within, as Miss Faber
reached her with outstretched hands Of
welcome
"You see 1 am quite in garden at
tire, my DEAR" said she, laughing. She
had strong hearty voice and laugh.
My hands are mould-stained
i don't care so that it's yourself"
said Flo, shaking hands. mo need to
say how you are, you never all"
"Not I. Leave the trap here. Jim,
here, boy, lead the ponies to the door
and see to them" to a gardener lad
she caught sight of. NOW you come

con is ready, for, of course, you will
stay, Flora?'
Of course Christian names had been
dropped into long since by common
consent
''Awfully tai" returned Lady Chat
terbox, gaily as they strolled across
the lawn. But why not go on with
your gardening.

AMMONIA TO
SUBDUE BULLDOG,

A vicious bulldog. whose headquarters
are somewhere in the neighborhood Of
the Southern hotel, created considerable
excitement on East Broadway this morn
ing. The dog had been chained up for
several days but was given his liberty
this morning. o after being released
he ran out on the street, where a horse
was hitched and Immediately sprang at
the animal. The dog fastened his teeth
into the under lip of the horse and held
on, despite the efforts of the poor brute
to dislodge him. A row of 40 or so peo-
pie collected and several of the men in
the crowd ~endeavored to make the dog
loosen his hold, but without success. The
dog was choked n kicked and whipped
but he held on with genuine bulldog
%tenacfty.
Finally a physician ran across the
street to the Owl drug store and secured
a cloth saturated with ammonia, which
was Immediately applied to the dogs
head. A second later the dog dropped
to the ground, thoroughly subdued. Many
of the people present were in favor of
shooting the dog but the owner appeared
about this time and quickly hurried him
away. The horse was not injured.

Then the Officer Had to Run
His Man Down.
ACCUSED OF ROBBERY
w. Newell Said to Have Gone Through
Pat Hannirin'S P0ckets-Tried
to Escape.

Three shots fired in rapid succession
and a fleeing figure tearing wildly down
South Main street, closely pursued py a
policeman, created no little excitement
and collected a large crowd in the neigh
borhood of the Imperial theater early this
morning. The officer proved to be an ex-
cellent runner. II an indifferent marks
man, and, soon captured his man and
took him to the city Jail, where he gave
his name as w. Newell. The officer pre-
ferred a charge Of disturbing the peace
against him in order to hoidi him until the
more serious charge Of robbery could be
investigated.
About Z o'clock this morning Officer Eli
derkin entered the Imperial theater.
About the time he did so a man who at
forwards CAV his name as Pat Hannifin
threw up his hands INC yelled excitedly:
Help, I've been robbed" n then point
ing to Newell, who was attempting to
make a quick getaway. said: Officer,
hat nan has robbed me-"
The episode occurred on the second
floor and by the time Elderkin had gotten
outside the theater, Newell had a good
lead n was doing the hot foot down the
street, at a killing pace. The officer fired
three times, but the only effect the shots
had was to increase the speed of the flu
gitive. Then fearing that he might do
more execution with his gun than was
necessary, he started after Newell, and
overlook him after a run of several hun
dred yards. ,F
Later Hannifin was taken to the Jail
and held to appear against Newell. Han
nifin states that Newell put his hand in
his (Hannif1n's) pocket, but did not get
anything of value.
In police court this morning Newell
pleaded guilty to the charge Of creating a
disturbance and was fined IS. Later he
was arrested on a complaint charging
him with robbery.
Newell is the man who was convicted of
grand larceny for the theft of a bicycle
last spring, for which he served six
months in the county Jail. He was dis
charged from jail only a short time ago.
