upon her. And you never let me

she laughed. Besides, like the new

"He isn't so very old" said Sybil,
blushing still more now.

"I am afraid 1t Is" she said softly
and regretfully. I'm afraid like my
employer very much indeed"
With an inarticulate speech that was
supposed to stand for goodnight he
turned toward the door.

was back in an instant, looking at her
sxpectantly.

BY the close of the week Mrs. Ellen
stein was comfortably established in a
room furnished with her own familiar
things, while the son succeeded In dis
posing Of the rest, as well as his prac-
tice, and had engaged passage on the
Oeeanica.
A short visit was then paid to Mr.
Rappelye, who gave him full directions
how to proceed. and many minute details
( Of the place and inhabitants. Promising
to write weekly, keeping him informed
of every movement. the young man Few
hours later was upon the outward bound
steamer. Surrounded by strangers, 1t Is
not a matter Of surprise that n feeling OF
WEAKNESS and almost desolation crept
over him. He turned away from his post
of observation on deck and sought the
more lively saloon. Taking book from
one Of the tables, he affected to read
Presently his eyes rested upon a mid
dle-aged lady, who seemed In feeble
health, as she leaned back languidly in
an easy chair, while her pale face and
attenuated figure spoke Of prolonged suf-
ferings, but a patient spirit. Her dark
eyes continually wandered towards the
door.
DIR. Elfensteln looked at her with in
ereaslng interest.
Suddenly a brighter look hoated into

| was grown up"
And then Tom accepted his congo
and went blindly out into the night.
The next morning he went into the
great business establishment, that was
now his since his father had died, to
bury his troubles In work. To the
manager he explained:
II want to take hold Of things here
| will take up the correspondence at
once. Have you a decent shorthand
writer nowT-not old Groves, hope
Send him in, please"
There was a quiet opening and clos
ing of the door as the manager went
out, and another quiet opening and
closing of the door as the amenuensis
came In. She stood before him, her
face rosy red, her pencil and notebook
In hand.
The head Of the firm gazed at her
with astonishment and bewilderment
Then he slowly arose.
"Sybilv he said, with the light OF
dawning comprehension In his eyes.
II have come to take your letters,
she said demurely.
Am your employer, Sybil?" asked
Mr.. Lingheld, still half-doubtful of his
fortune.
IL think you must be-" she said
In deep embarrassment.
Tom Lingfeld walked gravely to the
door and called the manager from his
desk. He knew when to take the tide
at the flood.
"Miss Harper is going to be my
wife" he explained, thoughtfully keep
ing himself between her and the door

Sir Arthur met his sad fate, and can
study the location of the place.
"lfor all this trouble Mr.. Rappelye, as
we will still call him, viii pay you hand
somely. Five thousand per annum shall
be yours as long as he llyesi and at his
death you will, IL successful, be munih-
Gently rewarded, as his will, still un-
signed, can testify.
"Are you willing to serve him as he
wishes2 win you undertake the task Of
clearing his good name Of the foul as
pcrsIons cast upon it2"
There was long pause, during which
the pale face Of the invalid seemed to
grow a shade paler under his eager gaze
AT length the silence was broken by DIR.
Elfenstein, who said In a calm, steady
tone:
III will undertake IT,"
"Thank you" murmured the sick man,
as he reached forth his hand to clasp
that of his visitor. "For this your sol
emn pledge, as solemnly promise to
place In your hands, through my banker,
the yearly sum of five thousand dollars,
and | will also provide for your future,
should my death occur before your task
is completed. This viii of mine is al
ready dictated, and only awaits my sig
nature. Mr.. Gray, | will now summon
Mrs. Stebbins and one of my servants to
act as witnesses, while write my name
to my last will and testament"
Mrs. Stebbns and Harriet Bevier then
placed their names opposite as witnesses
10 the solemn transaction, and again
withdrew, after Mr.. Rappelye had de-
sired them to bid the coachman prepare
to carry Dr. Elfensteln back to the depot,
as he had declined passing the night
with them.
"When shall you be ready to leave for
EnglandF' asked Mr. Rappelye, az he
held his hand at parting.
"In about one weeks time l think
can settle my own affairs, and arrange
a home for my mother during my alb
sence. shall take the first steamer

wish it."
Thus ended an interview which was
destined to be the cause of bringing to
light events of the most startling charae-
ter, the developments of which would
place our hero amid scenes and circum-
stances so terrible and tragic In their ma
ture that could they have been foretold
might have caused many moments of
hesitation.

her vision, he was surprised at beholdng
the most perfect picture Of youthful
beauty he had ever yet beheld. II was
all embodied In the person of young
girl Of about twenty summers, who smil-

melodious accents Of her voice filed

young physician smiled contentedly, that

Several days passed in rather an un-
eventful way, frightened occasionally by
a glimpse of the young girl, whose name
he found to be Ethel Nevergail
One rough and stormy day was draw

Frenchman, whose real name is La

after serving six months sentence for
unlawfully selling orders Of nobility.
His history is interesting as showing
what young man of imagination and
courage can do. A year or so ago he
began to negotiate with the vatican
for a title Had he, penniless youth,
asked for simple knighthood Of St.

weather, did not bear out the reports
of continual deterioration that were
still received from the fields. These
were among the bearish features, but

supplies of cotton are slowly but
steadily accommodating and the spot de-
mand is not at all strong. AS il was,
