Il had not the faintest idea who she was, but

i stopped the flow by asking her to what en-
couragernent she referred and she showed me
the note Of six months before And that is not
the worst of it. She brought six manuscripts
with her and Il new idea that all her own.

 Silas was overwhelmed by the size and attra ctions of his correspondent and the suddenness with which she had fallen upon him. But she soon set him at his case. She was very gracious and lenient in her behavior. She led him on to make pleasantries and then applauded him to the echo, and in a very short time, between blandishments and a liberal exhibition of warm bran dy, she had not only induced him to fancy himself in love-. but to declare his passion with the greatest vel1e- mencs./
 "Alas," she said, 'T do not know whether I ought not to deplore this mo- ment, great as is the pleasure you give me by your words. Hitherto I was alone to suffer. Now, poor boy, there will be two. I am not my own mis- tress. I dare not ask you to visit me at my own house, for am watched by jealous eyes. Let me see," she added.

and he made once more for the door, but this time of his own accord and bat ting against the stream of people which was now moving in contrary direction. Perhaps this prolonged re- sistance, wearied him, or perhaps he was in that frame of mind when mere ly to continue in the same determina- ton for certain number of minutes produces reaction and different pur- pose. Certainly. at least, he wheeled about for third tinis and did not stop until he had found a place of conceal ment within a few yards of the ap- pointed place.
 Here he went through an agony of spirit in which he several times prayed to God for help, for Silas had been de- voutly educated. He had now. not the least inclination for the meeting. Noth- ing kept him from flight but a silly fear lest he should be thought unman- ly. But this was so powerful that it kept head against all other motives, and, although 1t could not decide him to advance, prevented him from deA- nitely running away. At last the clock indicated ten minutes past the hour. Young Scuddamore's spirit began to rise. He peered round the corner and saw no one at the place of meeting. Doubtless his unknown correspondent had wearied and gone away. He be; came as bold as he had formerly been timid. It seemed to him that if he came at all to the Appointment, how ever late, he was clear from the charge of cowardice. Nay, now he began to suspect a hoax and actually compli- mented himself on his shrewdness in having suspected and outmaneuvered his mystihers. So very idle thing is a boys mind! Armed with these re- fections, he advanced boldly from his corner, but he had not taken above a couple of steps before hand was laid upon his arm. He turned and beheld lady cast in very large mold and with somewhat stately features, but bearing no mark of severity in her looks.
 'I see that you are very self con- fdent lady killer," said she, flor you

speaking in French with the young man of the blond locks who had been point ed out by the strange Britisher not half an hour before.
 'T have a character at stake," she said, Cor would put no other condition than my heart recommends. But you have only to say so much to the porter. and he will let you go by without 8 word" @
 "But why this talk of debt?"' objected her companion.
 "Heavensr' said she "Do you think I do not understand my own hotel?"
 And she went by, clinging affection ately to her companions arm.
 This put Silas in mind of his billet.
 '"Ten minutes hence," thought he. ''and may be walking with as beauti- full a woman as that and even better dressed, perhaps real lady, possibly a woman of title."
 And then he remembered the spelling and was little downcast.
 "But it may have been written by her ma1d," be imagined.
 The clock was only a few minutes from the hour and this immediate prox- unity set his heart beating at curious and rather disagreeable speed. He re- hected with relief that he was in no way bound to put in an appearance. Virtue and cowardtce ware together.

 He told her that he lodged in a fur nished hotel and named the street and number,
 She seemed to reflect for some min utes, with an effort of mind.
 ''I see," she said at last ''You will be faithful and obedient, will you not?"
 Gilas assured her eagerly of his f1del- ity.
 Tomorrow night, then," she contin- ued, with an encouraging smile, "you must remain at home all the evening, and if any friends should visit you dis miss them at once on any pretext that most readily presents itself. Your door is probably shut by 10?" she asked.
 ''By H." answered si1as.
 At quarter past IT, pursued the lady, s1eave the house. Merely cry for the door to be opened and be sure you fall into no talk with the porter, as that might ruin everything. Go straight to the corner where the Luxembourg gardens join the Boulevard. There you will find me waiting you. trust you to follow my advice from point to point, and remember, if you fail me in only one particular you will bring the sharpest trouble on woman whose only fault Is to have seen and loved you"
 q cannot see the use of all these in structions," said Silas.
 ''I believe you are already beginning to treat me as master" she cried, tapping him with her fan upon the arm. Patience, patience! That should come in time. A woman loves to be obeyed at first, although afterward she finds her pleasure in obeying. Do as ask you, for heavens sake, or I will answer for nothing. Indeed, now think of it. she added, with the man ner of one who has just seen further into difficulty, II find a better plan of keeping importunate visitors away. Tell the porter to admit no one for you except a person who may come that night to claim debt, and speak with some feeling, as though you feared the

TRADE CONDITIONS.

X Decline Tn StOcI1s-Heavy Retail
 fng--Textile Market Disturbed.
 NEW YORK, April. 11.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 :, Lower quotations in the stock mar ket than at any other time since Octo- Der, 1901, do not signify depression in business. The law of supply and de- man must prevail. Compared with the high record for stocks last September, the sixty most active railways have declined $15.S5 per share on the aver age, and the volume of new securities offered to investors has proved greater than the available funds could assimi- late.
 Aside from the prevalence of strikes and possibility of further Interruption to industrial activity next month on this account, the business outlook is most gratifying. Late frosts caused some damage early inlthe week, but low tempera lures did not continue, and in most sections agricultural products had not advanced sufficiently to suffer materially, while the prospects are bright for large crops, and heavy sales of fertilizers testify to extensive op- erations. Despite some unfavora ble weather, Easter retail trade has been heavy, and jobbing activity in summer fabrics indicates expectation of wig orous consumption as the season ad- yances.
 Tn the textile industries there are still adverse factors, notably the labor con troversies at cotton mills. Lowell mills are idle, but thus far the threatened strikes at other points have been avert ed Beyond moderate revival of ex- port purchases for China there is no in crease in the sales of cotton goods, both sellers and buyers awaiting some more definite information as to the fu- tl1re.
 Staple products develop irregularity as the season advances, and specula- ton has again become a prominent fac tor.
 Failures this week numbered 197 in the United States against 198 last year and 15 in Canada compared with 19 a year ago.

 T think you may trust me to pro tect myself against intruders,' he said not without little pique.
 "That is how I should prefer the thing arranged" she answered coldly "I know you men. You think nothing of woman's reputation"
 Silas blushed and somewhat hung his head, for the scheme he had in view had involved little vainglorying be. fore his acquaintances.
 "Above all," she added, "do not speak to the porter as you come out'
 "And why?" said he. ''Of all your instructions that sess2s to me the least irnportant"
