At the mention Of 25 cents the wom-

The girl, when he went. proceeded
deftly to cleaning the table and plac-

order they taught at the school. 1t

of other emotions there was never a
sign.
Day after DAY she returned, not
alone. Her mother went begging at

He looked at her astonished. Where
in the world did you learn your Eng

She blushed beneath the softened
bronze of her rounded cheeks, and the
lashes drew her eyelids timidly down
to curtain the wide-open orbs of dark
and lustrous onyx.

Omens Which Gave Warning to Heavy
Speculation
A New Yorker in London during the
recent time of excitement on the stock
exchange attributes his fortunate is
sue from a series of heavy speculations
to an incident that was connected
with nothing more occult and super
natural than a plate OF soup. He
was at dinner when the recent crisis
was at its height. The soup was vermi-
celli, with the customary letters
floating in it. In the conversation the
New Yorker was contending against
the general argument that the existing
high prices were not likely to decline
but rested on business basis which
made it certain they would be main
tanned. He was lifting the spoon to
his lips after very spirited utterance
on the subject, when he saw that the
four letters in his spoon spelt the
word sell" He is not superstitious
man, but the incident set him think
ing. He swallowed the omen with
out mentioning 1t. He continued to
eat, and the party confined its talk
chiefly to the condition OF the stock
market in this city. When he dipped
his spoon in the soup for the last
mouthful, the New York operator
saw that only six of the flour letters
remained in the plate, but they spelt
the word Unload" This coincidence
was too much even for the doubling
stock broker, who excused himself
from the table and went to the cable
office of the hotel. He sent word to
his broker to close out all his rail-
road holdings, and the difference in
time brought the message here for
the opening Of the market on the
day of the panic. His broker followed
his directions. and he came out a
heavy winner. 1t is not surprising
that his favorite soup is now vermi-
celli, especially when he is operating
heavily in stocks.-New York Sun.

CHAPTER /.


Down through the grey of the sage
brush. on hill that was jeweled with
patches Of the melting snow of winter
all but gone, stumbling alone as lazily
as the blear-eyed dog at his heels, a
Washoe Indian Of Western Nevada ar

in his lips for a short. eager drink.
The dog Tapped above him. Both re-

all a carpet Of stubble.
To the kitchen door the Washoe

Susie: A S shsteS
By PHILIP verriu MisheIs

The woman was SPECIFICS. She
started abruptly to run to the agent,
but suddenly halted, remembering
sharply that against the wishes of an
Indian parent the government was
powerless to hold a pupil.
A silence fell on the Indian maidens
and the baffled teacher. A few quick
words in the Washoe tongue delivered
by the father to his child and Susie
laid her apron on the table. Then ST.
lently she walked to her teacher.
kissed her lightly on the hair and
turned to follow where the man already
shambled slowly toward the brush. Her
head bowed submissively forward, her
hands hanging listless at her side, she
trod in his trail, and the dog shuffied
patiently behind.
The sun was casting long, slender
filaments OF shadows. Into its rudy
glory passed the silent procession, out
through the paths of the grey, lonely
sage brush. over the fat and the ridges
to the foothills far across the valley.
Late in the darkness shone at length
the dim red eye OF the dark and smoky
wigwam; and there at last, on the
chilling earth, sat Susie In the night,
and watching the greying of the glow
to the death, her chin on her breast
her fingers idly toying with a rounded
bit OF pebble.
There in the morning Wanda, the
mother, whined with her wrinkled
mouth and babe the silent Susie stand
and go to Chloride Hill. to beg at the
rear of the cabins. Together they
went, while her father wrapped his
blanket about him and strobe away,
with his dog, In search OF others in the
mining camp. whose worldly posses
sions he hoped to win at the subtle
ties of pass the stick"
Winding through the stunted brush
the women came to the outlying
houses. A door at the back of one OF
these was standing awide. A man
within was Gathering dishes. cups Of
tin and iron knives and forks, to a

mands Of this day. They put In cas-
ket and tombstone that which they
ought to put in bread.
Gods Cause Impoverished.
And then look how the cause of God
is impoverished. Men give so much
sometimes for their indulgences they
have nothing for the cause of God and
religion. Twenty-Five million dollars
expended in this country year for
religious purposes! But what are the
twenty-five millions expended for re-
ligion compared with the hundred mill
lions expended on cigars and tobac-
co and then two thousand millions OF
dollars spent for rum? So a man who
had a fortune of s750,000 or what
amounted to that, in London spent 1t
all in indulgences. chiefly in gluttonies,
and sent hither and yon for all the
delicacies and often had a meal that
would cost $500 or 5000 for himself
Then he was reduced to a guinea, with
which he bought rare bird, had 1t
cooked in best style, ate it. took two
hours for digestion, walked out on
Westminster bridge and jumped into
the Thames-on a large scale what
men are doing on small scale.
oh, my friends, let us take our stand
against the extravagances of society.
Do not pay for things that are frivo-
lous when you may lack the neces-
stiles. Do not put one months wages
or salary into trinket just one trink-
ct. Keep your credit good by seldom
asking for any. Pay! Do not starve
a whole year to afford one Belshazzar's
carnival. Do not buy coat Of many
colors and then in six months be out
at the elbows. Flourish not. as some
ments at a fashionable hotel, and had
elegant drawing rooms attached and
then vanished in the night, not even
leaving their compliments for the land
lord. l tell you, my friends, in the
day Of Gods judgment We will not
only have to give an account for the
way we made our money, but for the
way we spent it. We have got to leave
all the things that surround us now.
Alas,if any of you in the dying hour
felt like the dying actress who asked
that the casket of jewels be brought to
her and then turned them owe; with
her pale hand and said, ALAS, that I
have to leave you so soon" Better
in that hOur have nna treasure of heav-
en- than the bridal trousseau of a
Marie Antoinette or to have been seat
ed with Caligula at banquet which
cost its thousands Of dollars or to have
been carried to our last resting place
with senators and princes as pallbear-
ers. They that consecrate their wealth,
their time, their all, to God shall be
held in everlasting remembrance, while
I have the authority OF this book for
announcing that the name of the
wicked shall rot.

CHAPTER hA.
The stranger ceased to speak, and
Mr.. Cowley stared at him with much
bewilderment.
How did you know all this?" he
asked at last.

only brother of that unhappy man."
he said. quietly.
Rose uttered little cry of astonish-
ment.

lily history made me almost loathe my
name. l have borne that of We're
for many years. Under that name

der my own, shall soon ask you for
her hand! But for the present let it
be my task to clear up this mystery.
II came home from Italy as soon
as heard this house was let. 1t was
mistake upon the part of the agent;
but / should be the last on earth to
regret it. But l must take precaution
against a similar event. This is no fit
habitation for any one."
Then it is really haunted?" asked
Mr.. Cowley.
Il fear it is. Rose. will you go to
your mother. and, gentlemen. will you
follow me-"
They obeyed him without a word.
He went straight to the buffers pantry
and took up a spake and pickaxe, al
ready placed there by Mr. Cowley.
My brothers wife died delirious, and
no one ever knew where she had
buried the child, which | was quite
certain she had destroyed. / had my
suspicious at the time, but longed to
hush the whole thing up as speedily as
possible. Now, however, all must be
made clear"
With few vigorous strokes, he took
up the floor of the room. A tiny skel-
eton, half-bedded in the moist ground,
met their eyes, and Mr.. Cowley turned
aside to hide his tears.
Poor thing" he said sadly,
'Charles. don't tell your aunt, or wife,
or cousins. but get them away-take
them to the town this very afternoon.
Mr.. Vernon and I will follow as soon
as this poor little creature has been
properly buried. There, go, my dear
boy, and, above all, not word to the
girls of what we have found today"
So Mrs. Cowley had her way, after
all, and spent happy Christmas Day
at Mecklenburgh Square, surrounded
by all the members of her family, and
waited upon at table by no less per-
son than Mrs. Mccarthy, to whom she

Christmas and New Years Day hav-
ing passed gaily away, there only re-
manned the wedding Of Rose, and for
that need not hint that the greatest
preparations were made.
The happy day came slowly on. The
tidings of the romantic betrothal had
awakened much curiosity among those
to whom the pair were known, and the
church was crowded when the carriage
drove to the door,
Rose faltered slightly as she stood
on the threshold of the church and
gazed upon the concourse of people:
but a glance from the dear companion
at her side treasured her. and calm
and happy she moved onward and took
her place before the altar.
Not to the haunted house, however,
but to pleasant villa upon the sea-
coast, Mr.. Vernon took his fair young
bride.
