CHAPTER XIV.
invstig alton.

Mrs Caryl had been telegraphed to
evidence regarding the Identification
But. instead of her arrival the reply
had been sent that Mrs. Caryl was ill
had been somewhat ill for a few
days and the news had prostrated
her: she could not leave her bed-im-
possible for her to come.
A summons vas sent at the same
time to Julia. who was thus compelled
to leave the scene OF her labors.
She was really indignant with
Ralph. He always failed in every
thing, and even in getting himself
killed he must. foil all her plans. 1t
was exasperating to have to leave
Dick Burt at this time.
She was almost alarmed when she
thought seriously of the matter, and
found that she was interested in Dick
Burt more than she had ever been in
any one.
She knew that she was under a
kind of infatuation regarding him, but
she yielded herself to it, knowing it
was dangerous to do so, and that thus
yielding would bring her only repent
ance: but this knowledge made no
difference.
The thing she had begun only as
the fulfillment of bargain with her
brother, she was now impelled to
accomplish by the force of passion
that was growing up within her. Not
that she even yet thought she would
marry Dick, but she must bring him
to her feet. Time enough then to de-
eide that question. Mixed with the
curious attraction he had for her was
the fierce desire to humiliate him.
Had he not kissed her, and without
a word of love? And she had per-
mitted it-nay, she could not recall
that moment without pleasure
which half frightened but wholly cap
tivated her. Yes, so sure as she
lived. Dick Burt should come to her
suppliant.
Such thoughts filled her mind as
the cars bore her rapidly away from
the shore and toward Carylville.
1t was not very dutiful or affec-
tionate daughter who came home to
her sick mother, She had SO little
affection for Ralph that she wondered
why her mother should bemoan him
so.
Had he ever brought anything but
misfortune upon them?
She asked this pettishly, after listen
ing to the outpourings of her mother e
sorrow.
"But he is my SOM" was the pa
thetic reply.
And even Julia held her peace
after that.
Meantime action was taken in re

Wall Street Safe.

A trio consisting of father, mother
and precocious young daughter were
craning their necks to see the tops Of
:;kyscrapers in Wall and Broad streets
when the father exclaimed:
What calamity would be witness
ed if an earthquake visited the vicin-
ity?"
The precocious child quickly quieted
the parents fears by remarking:
WALL street is safe from such an
event, as their isn't room for those
buildings to fall anywhere.-New Yos.s

was very cunning and had all her wits
in ful1 activity

was very cunning and had all her wits
in full activity.
He thought her still overpowered
by the scene she had just passed
through, while she was only thinking
of the most telling manner to adopt
with him.
IF l could only give you courage!"
he whispered, leaning very close.
She looked up at him. In the dim
light she could see how full of en-
ticing fire her eyes were, albeit her
face was so pale.
"You are so strong!" she murmur-
ed. "What should l have done with
out you tonight"
Burt blushed with pleasure. He had
no idea of woman's subtle art; he
was quite ready to be intoxicated with
girl who spoke and looked like this.
Still he was stubborn. and he was
not going to give up Kate Purcell,
though he had forgotten her now.
Il am glad have been any help to
you." he said.
"And 1 am alone now-Ralph has
gone. OH" and she shuddered and
sobbed.
She did not say she had never seen
Ralph much and that she had never.
cared fig for him.
Burts first impulse was to beg her
to take him as lifelong companion,
but then the thought of Kate came
into his mind and he did not wish to
shut himself off from all chance of
securing her. so he took refuge in
uttering some vehement protestations
of being at Julia's command for any
service whatever.
Julia was angry as she thought she
saw what withheld him from an avow-
al, and her voice was still tenderer
and still more suggestive as he said:
you are very lind-too kind Do
not make my future life more than
ever lonely by the memory of your
words"
Burt drew her nearer to him, while
he uttered some hurried, foolish
words which did not mean anything,
and then he bent down and kissed her
two or three times with fierce pas
sion. She did not resist. For the
moment she believed she had secured
him. Then she remembered that he
must be one Of those men who do not
consider themselves bound by such
things-indeed. she was wise enough
to know that men of honor" do not
| invariably marry every girl to whom
they have murmured passionate
words and who they have kissed.
At this moment the carriage drew
up at the Old Colony depot. and the
door was flung open by the driver.
Julia always thought if she had had
five minutes more time then she
would have heard an offer of mar
riage from Dick Burt. But she did
not have the five minutes, and she
was obliged to alight and walk into
the depot, not in an enviable frame of
mind.
But Dick was secretly relieved a
little at the interruption. This wo-
man had for him a kind of intoXica
ton, but he was always conscious of
the fear that, if he should ever be
led into marrying her, he should eter
naly regret it.
He was shrewd. though he did not
dissect his feelings; for aught he
knew. Julia Caryl was all that she
now seemed. yet something held him
back. Was it loyalty to Kate Pur-
cell? He believed it to be that.
1t was nearly eleven o'clock when
Julia reached the beach that night
and she retired to bed very much dis
satisfied with herself-borne down by
sense of failure that almost over
whelmed that other sense of horror
at her brothers fate.

Is "chortle' Dictionary Word?
When Lewis Carroll wrote:

20 frabjOus day. CaIIooh! Galaxy!
He chortled in his joy,
he doubtless anticipated no perpetuity
for his queer verb, any more than for
his equally queer and almost as ingen-
ious adjective, frabjous. But chortle
tickled the fancy Of his readers. 1t
suggested the gurgle of senile exulta-
tion, and seemed, like Shakespeare
duke. to "fill a place" Hence, it has
had currency enough to get into one

establish itself, as chuckle and giggle
have done.-Prof. George l.. kittredge,

Something About the Habits of ths
Ocean Monsters.

Ocean Monsters.
knowledge: Both whalers and natural
lists have usually held that when whales
sound they descend to great depths,
One writer on the subjects estimates that
the larger members of the group dive full
ly a thousand yards. In a memoir pub
lished In Belgium DR.. Racovitza chal-
lenges this belief, n states that, In his
opinion, 100 yards is the maximum depth
to which the whale can dive, and that
many species annot reach anything like
that limit. Says the writer:
Why should whales want to go to such
depths? All whales sound for the pur-
pose of obtaining food. and in the pro-
found darkness of LOCO yards what food
could they getP Those Species which feed
on animalcules might, perhaps, obtain
what they want. But how about the spe-
Giles which feed on fishes and c%uttles? At
a depth of a thousand yards they certain
ly could not use their eyes to detect NOM
luminous species, and we have no evidence
whatever they feed on the self-luminous.
deep-sea fish and %cuttles: If, indeed, there
be any Of the latter. On the contrary, the
available evidence indicates that they feed
on ordinary lght-dwelling fishes and cut
ties which live In much shallower zones.
But this Is not all. 1t Is known that the
effects of a pressure of more than three
atmospheres prove fatal to human life;
and. although we may believe that whales
can stand treble this pressure, or nine at
~mospheres, which would occur at about
ninety yards depth, Is it conceivable that
they could resist the effect OF ten times
the latter pressure, or ninety atmospheres?
Moreover, does it seem possible tina a
whale. whose body Is only slightly heavier
than water at ordinary pressure. could ex-
'ert the muscular force necessary to propel
tina body to a depth of a thousand yards7
DR.. Racovltza contends further that
whales never sleep. One Of his arguments
Is that individuals will follow a ship for

for Guests-An Instructor il
Billiards and Pool.

New York Sun: The hotel guest is
being made more n more comfort
bic. One of the new houses opened
this year has ice water running day
and night in the halls, even up to the
Top story. Another convenience priced
by the sophisticated woman guest is
a little apparatus on q block of marble
to be hitched to the electric burner inc
so afford a hot iron Or a boiling tea ket-
tie when desired. The model medicine
closet in the bath room is another
boon out OF the ordinary. So is the
little built-in cupboard in the sitting
room, where wine, cake, nuts and such
light refreshments for favored guests
can be kept conveniently. The ward
robe closets in the bed chamber amply
and conveniently planned, are another
point dear to the woman guests soul.
There are closets almost as large as
the room they supplement and big
enough to be lit VI, allowing every
gown and bodice to swing clear On it's
separate hanger. The guest points out
proudly that her closet doors and franz
ings are of the same creanl-tinted
maple as the bureau and bed room fur
nishings, and so pleasing to look at.
Each new hotel thrown open chal-
lenges comparison with its predecessors
as to new arrangements and attrac-
tons. A new member of the hotel
force is the man retained to teach the
women guests billiards or pool free of
charge, so that they can avail them
selves of the use of the billiard room
A young woman librarian to rouse
