I knocked up the sergeants pistol
much to his disgust. and touched her.
Who is in this house?'
She looked at me in a stupid, clownish
way, and then of a sudden out came a
lot of gibberish that meant naught to
either of us.
"Phwat's that she says" asked Gala
han. She'll wake the dead" And he
doused her again with the cape, until
she lay quiet. Then We repeated the ac-
ton with the pistol and she sat silent as
before. But had caught enough to know
that she spoke French.
Here We were. stumped, Not one of
us knew word of the lingo, and could
do naught but put my finger on my
mouth and vigorously shake my head.

found myself in a cross hall that led
again into the main hall OF the house
Keeping close to the WALL l worked

silent rooms. in which the ghostly fur

second story.
Here again were more rooms. open,
but vacant. Under the sill Of a door
leading into the wing was what seemed
to be a faint light. The door opened,
but in doing SO it creaked with a sound
that seemed to echo all over the house.
Directly opposite, across another small
hall. was door, half opened, leading
into lighted room, and on the'instant
a voice said something in French.

"'T is not Adele, Mistress Philipse,
but I. Merton Balfort May enter?'
There came a sudden exclamation and
a step. and the door stood wide open
There she stood in long wrapper. with
her hair down about her shoulders
taller by inches, l remember noticing
even then.
What do you here, sir?" said she,
gazing at me.
For answer | stepped into the room,
took the door handle from her. closed
the door with as little noise as possible,
and looked at her.
why are you, and what mean you
by coming thus into my house,: she
asked haughtily. standing away from me
and drawing her gown together at the
neck. Ave. the girl was beautiful under
ell conditions, for here she was gazing
at ME like a queen whose hallowed pri-
vacy had been soilcd with sacrilege.
"You know me we'll, Mistress Phil

"No, / will not"

around that house to the left. Leave

and let the other go with me to the

IF you hear or see aught. leave

So we started away, crawling on our
stomachs and keeping a bright eye on
the gloomy house that appeared to be
dark from top to bottom. and that con-
tanned God knew what.
Fortunately for us, there had grown
UP wealth of underbrush on all sides,

or extension, of the house itself. Soon

man to call the others with Callahan.

by her very calmness. She did not move,
but said with fine scorn:
You are then highwayman. 1 see.' -
and. following her glance, l flushed to
find myself standing before her with a
drawn sword in one hand and a pistol in
the other. One was sheathed and the
other put up in a moment. but I was
upset and said nothing for a space.

Il will not speak with you further.

ing in anger and wounded pride, and
beginning to culver with nervousness.

exclamation escaped her-"to protect

'Ah." cried she, at that; 'let them
come to me now, then" and she rushed
by me and grasped the door TO open it.
But l caught her as she cried out. and
put my hand over her mouth and lifted
her from the ground. setting Der down
in large chair by the table. The re-
suit was enough to distract any man.
For she burst into tears, and, looking
up and stamping her foot in helpless
rage, she cried:

ashamed! Oh, had | strong arm to

CORONATION LOSSES.
How the English Newspapers Lost on Their
Special Editions.

Among those who suffered most
seriously from the stoppage Of the
coronation were the proprietors Of
the illustrated weekly journals, says
the New York Herald.
They had been working hard fo1
months, spending enormous sums OF
money preparing coronation mum
bers. They have been making stu
pendous efforts as to who would take
the leading place with the public in
popularity, and they were all ready
with extra numbers.
1t is announced that the Graphic,
the illustrated London News, the
Sphere, Black and White and the
King have lost thousands of pounds.
Some of them we're bound to let
them go. In fact the copies were in
the hands of the trade before they
could be stopped, but their sale has
been nothing compared to- what 1t
might have been.
It is said the Graphic has lost on
the most gorgeous number which it
prepared about $1,000 (S35,000)
The manufacturers of fireworks,
too, lost enormously.
Take, for instance, just one firm, q
statement from which will show the
magnitude of the preparations that
had been made.
For frework displays in ccnnec-
ton with the coronation they had
made 1, $4,000 fairy lamps, $4,000
prismatic lamps, $50 crystal slectric
devices and 5000 electric lights.
They had put up thirty miles of
decoration in various portions of the
United Kingdom and prepared 667
bonfres.
Their output Of fireworks alone
amounted to about $50 tons and this
is only one of several great firms.
This, however, will not be all lost.

discussion of woman versus man. The
July Cosmopolitan seems to be al
most equally divided in interest ba-
tween men and women. "An Ex-
pertinent in Domestic Finance" ls
another entirely novel article which
will appeal to women, while some
twenty pages devoted to the "Cap-
tains of Industry" will receive the
consideration of men in all classes OF
business. The Cosmopolitan has un-
dertaken to present series of brief
sketches of the men who are leaders
in finance; manufactures, and COM
merce, not prepared in an offhand
way, but by writer's of the greatest
ability who have an exact knowledge
of their subjects. The series thus
far produced has attracted the widest
attention. The industrial changes
which have of late been occurring
with such rapidity have the widest
possible interest for all classes. The
knowledge of these men, their deri-
vation, leading characteristics and
weaknesses throws mnch light upon
the news of the d,y in which their
names constantly recur.
While the press has presented an
endless number of illustrations of the
Mont Pelee disaster, the illustrations
in the July Cosmopolitan, printed
on fine paper with the most careful
art, give clearer idea of just what
that disaster means than anything
hitherto presented.

Washington, July 1.-Amid a
scene of enthusiasm, that has not
been paralleled since the exciting
days of the Spanish war Speaker
Henderson, at $50 this afternoon,
declared the House of Representa-
tives adjourned without day, In
doing so he said that no House of
Representatives since the adoption
of the Constitution had done as
much work as this one. The au-
dience to which he made his brief
addres was brilliant one. The gal
leries were banked to the doors and
almost two thirds Of the members
were in their seats on the floor. The
Speakers appreciative words to the
members in, thanking them for their
co operation during the session had
touched a responsive chord, and
they gave him a remarkable demon
stration of their friendship and good
will. While the cheering and ap-
plause were still in progress the
members on the floor began singing
"My Country, tits of Thee" 1t was
taken up by the correspondents in
the press gallery, over the Speakers
chair, and by the spectators in the
surrounding galleries, and soon the
vast hall was ringing with the swell
ing chorus. Other patriotic airs fol,
lowed as the members exchanged
farewell, "The Star Spangled Ban
ner alternating with Dixie" The
Speaker came down from his rostum,
his appearance on the floor being
greeted with "For He's a jolly Good
Fellow" and a perfect rush of the
members to grasp his hand. Stand
ing in front of the clerks desk he,
too, joined in the songs, and there
was wild scene when Gen. Hooker,
of Mississippi, the old one-armed
Confederate Veteran, took his place
by the side of the Speaker and
together they sang 'Dlxie."
Mr.. Gambler, a Mississippi Demo
crat, jumped upon desk and let
out yell of jubilation that fairly
shook the raflers. For almost half
an hour the jubilstion continued.
All this time the spectators remained
standing in the galleries watching
the animated scene below and joining
in the singing.
The adjournment came at the end
of seven and half hours session,
during which much minor business
was transacted. In all seventy bills
and resolutions were passed. The
general good feeling in the house
had been reinstated by the victory
won over the senate on the item in
corporated in the naval appropria
tion bill for the building of battle
ship in a government yard.
