The Program.

So far the program mapped out
for the entertainment of the visit
ing editors will be as follows:
On arrival the entire party will
be met and rooms assigned for the
night. After supper there will be
a reception and luncheon at $50,
at the Riverside rink.
From presents prospects there
will be about 200 editors in the
party. As they will have to be at
Sinton Sunday evening about $50,
to make connection with the Sap
night train, it will be necessary for
the crowd to leave here Sunday
morning not later than 1880, to
make the connection, so there will
not be much opportunity for sight
seeing.
The following committee has
been appointed:

Grand Opera at Home.

Grand opera at home via your tele-
phone receiver is New England and
New York scheme A central power
plant is to be established wherefrom
music by electricity is to be trans
mitted through telephones to the
houses of the subscribers. A bat
terry of alternators is to be installed
which will transmit musical electrical
waves and these are adjusted to as
many different vibrations as tie
strings of piano. To play the instru-
ment piano keyboard is used. The
pressing of a key will operate a switch
which will close the circuit leading TO
the alternators adjusted to produce
the note that the piano string would
produce. But the note will be sound
ed In the ear of the operator from the
battery itself. The vibrations Will be
communicated to the main wires, which
will transmit them through branch
wires to the other end of the tsle-
phones- There the note will be sound
ed. One of these receiving telephones
will be connected with the operator so
that he will know how his playing
sounds to all others connected with
the main wires. The receiving tee-
phones will be fitted with mega
phonelike device warranted to carry
the notes through the room as well az
an organ would. The woodwind, brass
and string tones of the orchestra are
easily produced by mixing the required
harmonics in the required proportions.

There was no more said between
them about the matter, and the din
ner progressed in silence, though it
must be owned that neither ate hearth

afterwards as if nothing unusual had
occurred.
Constance meant to see Primus
Edes and ask him few questions.
Accordingly she went over about three
O'Clock and made her errand known
to Mrs. Fry, who ushered her into the
sick-room, remaining there herself, as
Constance requested.

come again. l did not hope to see
you till tomorrow"
Il want to ask you a few questions.

You say you are Vane Hamilton.
Tell me, then, why you went away
every year in May"
Il will l feel now that l ought 20
have done so before. But l shrank
from it, fancying that you would think
my quest foolish one.
you remember my mother Con
stance-a sad, delicate woman who
seldom smiled but you never knew
the reason of her sadness, nor did |,
till a short time before she died. Then
she told me. She had three children,
a girl and two sons, who were twins.
My sister died in childhood, and my
brother, also, as | supposed; but she,
it seems, always doubted it. AS you
know, Constance, | was one of the
twins. and the other was stolen My
parents, who were very wealthy at
that time, lived in Elmira, New York.
The nurse, who had charge of us, took
our carriage, which was a double one,
to the park one day. as usual. There
she left us, as servants will, to Cos
sip with other girls, and when she
returned my brother was nowhere to
be seen. OF course, the woman was
fillcd with grief and fear, and she
searched a long time, herself. before
summoning aid, fearing the displeas-
ure of her employers. But the child
could not be found. My mother was
nearly frantic, for she had set her
heart on her two remaining children
after her little daughter died and 1t

would be insane

ter l left Grovedale, think. for | re-

or that | said to her. But how, or
why, ! came here, l know no more

say l seemed attracted toward you

no wonder.
Il know nothing about my existence
as Primus Edes. But, Constance,
recollect Mrs. Fry saying yesterday
that she knew of similar case, and
you, too, I think, spoke of it"
Yes" and Constance bowed her
fair head in agitation for a moment
But she raised it proudly a moment
later. 81 have heard of a case which
seems to be much like yours"
Tell me about it. Who is it, and
how does the case compare with
mine?"
You saw the person the other day

"Mr. Hammerly! Constance, that
man looks exactly as l used to look !"
Yes; but his name is not Hammer

CHAPTER XVII.



On the return of Mr.. Carter and Mr..
Hamilton, as | shall continue to call
him, having phonetic objections to
Mrs. Fry's expressive appellation of
tother one, Constance met them with
face so full of fear, dread, conster-
nation, or whatever the feeling was
that had blanched her face to the col
or of the white robe she wore, that
they both started back with alright.
Bless my soul, child, what is it?"
Constance are you ill.,"
No, no; but | must tell you both
| have sent the children away. Now,
listen" And with certain majestic
sternness which robbed her words of
all save the terrible significance of
the manlfestly truthful account she
related what haG taken place at the
house of Mrs. Fry.
"Bless my soul, the mans stark,
raving crazy! He'll have to be car
ried to Concord. Did you know he
was crazy to begin WITH"
Il don't know it now. Uncle Carter"
Bless my soul. She don't know it
now. Vane, she says.
81 think she is right. It is some
thing worse than insanity; it is
scoundrelism of the deepest, darkest
dye" said Mr., Hamilton, between his
set teeth.
They all sat silent after that. as if
words We're futile at such a crisis, at
such an astounding event. Mr. Ham
iltcu was the first to recover himself,
ano, to their surprise, he spoke much
in his usual tones.
There is no sense in allowing such
a man TO move us from our usual
ways. 1t is worse for him than for
is. An attempt at blackmail so bare
faced is not to be considered mo-
ment. The fact of my having lost my
sense of personality while away, no
douN, struck him as a reason why he
could put in the same plea of forget
fulness. But in this he has over
reached himself. No one will give

Y. M. c. A. Health Farm.

Denver.-With much enthusiasm the
third anniversary of the establishment
of the Y. M. G. A. health farm at
Wheatridge was held Sunday. The ex-
ercises attracted one of the largest
gatherings that has been seen at the
open air resort for many months, for
besides the scores of patients who
have been growing strong under the
outdoor treatment there were many
business and professional men from
Denver. In the number were repre-
sentative physicians and pastors, who
have been interested in the advance
ment of the institution.
