far reaching knowledge was evident at
glance Here were Saracen and old
Spanish coats of mail, steel inlaid with
gold, shields of Japanese lacquer, bossed
with carved dragons in oxidized silver,
portraits by Lely and Gainsborough,
porcelain from Sevres and Dresden,
statuettes from Pompeii, squat figures
of long -forgotten gods from Southern
India. Quantity varied as were the trap
pings of hall and splendid oak staircase,
each object was gem in itself. Wealth
alone could not have gathered the display
The soul of collector, the cunning eye of
a connoisseur, must have commanded
the purse of millionaire, if the remainder
of the house was decked with an artistic
hoard to match this first sample of it's
treasures.
He was admiring a jade vase, enbel-
ished with scrollwork in red gold, when
the rustic of a dress came from a corridor
running right and left from the broad
landing of the stairs. Followed by the
fOotman, an elderly woman appeared.
Her attire, black gown of stiff silk, her
lace cap, bunch of shining keys at her
waist, the lines in her pallid face express
ing discipline and order, showed that this
could be none other than the housekeeper,
Mrs. Warren. Lester, prone to idle mus
ings, wondered if she would object to
the dust on his garments, so prin was
she, and SO sp;ck and span the polished
oak and tessellated floor of the mansion

But her somewhat harsh features
softened into a mechanical affability as
Lester advanced to the foot of the stairs
She had been observing him narrowly as
she descended, and a woman of her posi-
ton might be trusted to sum up a stranger
with exceeding accuracy.
MY son did not quite understand the
footman's message" she said in measured
accents, though her natural emotion was
betrayed by the effort to speak without
constraint. "Of course we shall be only
too glad for a doctor to see his 1ordship.

long corridor, adorned throughout with
rare pictures, ancient arms and fine

Warren stepped aside.

in a hushed tone I'VE brought him

Lester asked no questions. The time
for explanation was not yet. Some one,
seemingly Lord Arncliffe's agent, had
spoken of death. Let that all-important
verdict be ratified first.

CHAPTER XIV.

AS I said in the foregoing chapter.
the days Immediately following the
death of the prefetto and the Count di
Pordino were exciting ones.
A new prefetto was appointed by
the king, and he proved to be a gem
erouS and intellectual man, at whose
hands we received the kindest treat
ment.
The villa Of Maligni remained in his
family, and the new prefetto resided
at the prefettura in the old castle in
CaSiari, with his wife, charming
woman, and his daughters, accom-
plished young ladies about the age Of
Nita
Here Nita remained as his guest
during the remainder of our stay in
Sardinia, while Mutterelli and | took
up our abode at the splendid but neg
lected Villa di Thorlano, as the guest
of Thorlane
Under the new prefetto all my be-
longings were restored to me, and I
was once more in possession of the
letter of Antonio Sigmotta. and the
locket and pin that had belonged to
the infant Alice Graviscourt.
The Importance of these was greatly
augmented by another document
which contained the statement of
Dambo, duly attested by the new pre-
fetto, and the import of which will be
duly disclosed.
made Nita Barlotti fully acquaint-
ed with the significance of these
things; and our impatience to be off
to America to finish our work was
generously met by the new prefetto,
who aided us in every way, and final
ly saw us depart from Cagliari with
many expression of regret
Thorlane wished to have the mar
riage of Nita and himself solemnized
before leaving, but she archly babe
him be patient, for there was plenty
OF time; and she preferred to know
the truth concerning herself before
she became his wife.
To our united voices, Thorlane
laughingly yielded, and placing his
estate in competent hands, to be cared
for until his return for final adjust.
ment, he announced himself as ready
to start.
So We took steamer to Genoa.
where made good my promises to the
faithful Mutterelli, and placed to his
account fifty thousand lire, equal to
about ten thousand dollars.

OF so, they were taken on board q
sailing vessel which was bound for
Lisbon, and which had stopped at the
Azores for water. From Lisbon he
came to Italy, and at Genoa sought
his old friend Mutterelli, whom he felt
he could trust implicitly. Being in
formed that Mutterelli was in Cagliari
with Signor Wilperton of New York,
Thorlane made all preparation to en-
ter the country where his life and lib

me wounded by the wayside was his
first day in Cagliar. He had found
Mutterelli, and these two at once en-
tered into a secret compact, the re-
suits OF which we have seen.
Mutterelli was member of a secret
order in Italy and Sardinia, into, which
he Initiated Brother Michael" and it
was the authority this membership
gave him that enabled the putative
monk to compel the band of Count di
Pordino to withdraw just when they
held victory in their grasp.
Thorlane, as Brother Michael, be-
came the guest of the superior of the
monastery, and from that vantage
ground proceeded to put into opera

we'll he carried out his purposes, how
steadfast he was in his love and in
his friendship, and how skillfully he
did the work he had on nand, leave
it to the reader to justify the love and
admiration that Nita Barlotti and |
felt toward his man, whose nobility
OF soul and sterling worth are worthy
OF more fitting tribute than can be
conveyed in my feeble and inadequate
language.

LIGHTING LORE.
ACETYLENE ExcELs AS AN ILLU
MINANT.
Gas for Lighting Form erly Confined to
Cities and Large Towns, now In
General Use in the Country.

The satisfactory lighting OF subur-
ban and country homes requires that
the means used shall be convenient,
safe. economical and furnish a bcil-
liant, penetrating, effulgent light.
Everybody admits that these are
not the characteristics of the candle
or kerosene lamp, which, formerly,
were the only feasible means of pro
ducing light for domestic use in the
rural districts
For generations there was a crying
need, yearning for something better,
which was not satisfied. A few years
ago deliverance came in the shape Of
the chemical compound, Calcium Car
bide, from which, by the simple ap.
plication of water, the gas Acetylere
is derived. Acetylene meets all the
requirements fully and admirably and
is being generally used
Common lime and carbon in the
form of coke or coal are the raw ma
heated furnace, make Calcium Car
bide. and there is no difficulty in OBJ
tanning 1t in any part of the country.
The machine into which the Cal
cinm Carbide is fed and from which
the Acetylene is distributed through
the building to be lighted, is but little
larger than a thrty-gallon milk can,
and of the same general form. 1t Is
easily and cheaply installed, either in
the cellar or in an out-building.
The light from burning Acetylene
is exquisite, and lighting experts agree
that it surpasses all other known illu-
minants. 1t does not faint the air nor
strain the eyes and is not objection
able In any respect. Every up-to-date
rural residence should be equipped
with Acetylene light.

TEST OF WATER RIGHTS.
Clash With Homestead Entries West
of the Missouri.

Clash With Homestead Entries West
of the Missouri.
During the last two years a large
number of what are known as water
rights have been filed in the country
west of the Missouri river. These
filings are under the provisions of a
law which requires storage of water
to a certain amount each year, but
which water must be open to public
use. Those who have made such fill.
ings will probably be called upon to
defend their rights to the tracts, as
claimants are demanding the right to
place homestead filings on the same
tracts.
AS the water rights are only in the
way of declaratory statements. and
the title does not pass from the gov
eminent, only being vested in the
claimant so long as he complies with
the law in regard to water storage
the test case which has been brought
in Lyman county will be watched with
a great deal of interest.
The authorities have as yet been
unable to solve the mystery surround
