CHAPTER XXYII.

Utterly worn out, | was just SINKING
into a doing sleep, when l was reused
by the hateful tones of Mr.. Porters
voice greeting his daughter, as she sat at
breakfast in my room. Another enemy
added to the number that encOmpassed
me!
He quickly turned to me and began,
in his usual hypocritical shuttle, Il hear
that it hath pleased Providence to put
you in a fair way of recovery. So you
thought to get off, Master Silas, did
you?' he said, with a satyr-like leer up
on his face; "but Judith has laid her
runaway husband safely by the heels
this time"
About II o'clock that same morning
there came a knock at the door. 1t was
the nurse; there was a whispered con-
versation, and then Judith came up to
me- was sitting before the fire in an
easy chair-and said, quietly, ''MadOme
Berne, the woman whom l told you was
coming to-day, is here; remember your
promise, and l viii remember mine"
In a few moments there came into
the room a tall, iron-looking woman.
Judith's father cringed, and fawned, and
leered, and snuffled. But Judith stood
with her hand resting upon the table
cold and defiant never deigning to hel
visitor even a salutation.
"And you are Silas CarstonY she
said, fixing upon me a strangely intense
look.
''That is the name am known by"
answered.
"And is this woman your wifeP SHE
asked, pointing to Judith.
l paused for one moment. l could fee
Judith's fierce eyes were upon me; theI
l answered quietly, "She is"
Madame Berne paused again, anC
turned her cold glance upon her; it wal
met by one as fearless as her own.
''The sum of $500 a year is settled
upon you as an annuity" she said, agail
turning to me as the door closed upol
Mr.. Porter. 1T will be paid you quar-
terly, on personal application, by Messrs
Fogle & Quick. Your wife"-there wa
strange emphasis upon the word
communicated with me through thos
lawyers; and as / was informed that yo-
were too i'll to attend at their office,
have come here to judge, as far as an
able, whether you are the man you pre-
tend to be"
''Have you no wish to inquire int
your parentage, Silas2" said judith
speaking for the first time.
1T will be useless if he has" answere
Madame Berne, freezingly; "he will neV
er know it."
As she turned to leave the room, al
other figure appeared upon the scene
Montgomery was standing in the doc
way. She started back, with a loo
and gesture of loathing; but the next m,
ment drew herself up, with the sam
frigid, passionless look upon her face {
before.
For moment Montgomery stood lool

In another column of THE HER
AID today will be found an article
anent the free pass evil taken from
the Railway Age, which is pleas
ed to class the newspaper men
with others who travel by the free
pass system. 1t is very evident the
writer is not clasely related to the
genius who presides over the des-
TIMES of the press at large. The
man who will take the trouble to
ascertain the real status of the pass
question as regards newspapers,
can not fail to be impressed with
the fact, absolute and undeniable,
that the newspaper man pays more
for the number of miles ridden,
than any other class of traveller.
IF you doubt this statement, figure
up the advertising space used, cal
culated upon the basis of rates paid
by local advertisers, and draw your
own conclusions. If after this you
still persist i'll saying the news
paper man is a free pass fend, then
you case is a hopeless one.

A Standing Order.


NewIin Haines of the Atlantic
City Hotel Mems Association was
talking about the odd rules that
prevail in many of the cheaper
restaurants and cafes.
For instance, he said, 1 go
in and order oysters, salad and
dessert and get a napkin, but the
man next to me. because he has
only ordered pie and milk can't
have a napkin on any account.
A guest here last summer gave
me the best example of these
absurd rulings and differentiations
that 1 have heard yet.
THE man said that he entered
a lurch cafe in London, an ornate
place, with counter where some
of the patrons stood. and with a
number of little tables where others
sat.
The man gave a small order
and took a seat al one of the
tables.
"Thereupon waiter hurried to

reason she said otherwise before
