Wit and ridicule were Lincoln weap-
ens Of offense and defense, and he
probably laughed more jury cases out
OF court than any other man who ever
practiced at the bar.
Il once heard Mr.. Lincoln defend a
man in Bloomington against a charge
of passing counterfeit money" Vice
President Stevenson told the writer
There was pretty clear case against
the accused, but when the chief witness
for the people took the stand he stated
that his name was J. Parker Green,
and Lincoln reverted to this the mo-
ment he rose to croSS-eXamine. Why
J. Parker Greene? What did that j.
stand for? John? Well, why didn't
the witness call himself John 2. Green?
That was his name, wasn't it? Well,
what was the reason he didn't wish to
be known by his right name? Did J..
Parker Green have anything to conceal,
and IL not, why did J. Parker Green
part his name in that wayT And 50
on. or course, the whole examination
was farcical," Mr.. Stevenson continued,
'but there was something irresistibly
funny in the varying tones and inhec-
tlons Of Mr.. Lincoln's voice as he rang
the changes upon the mans name; and
at the recess the very boys in the street
took up the slogan and shouted j. Par
ker Green" all over the town. More
over, there was something in Lincoln's
way Of intoning his questions which
made me suspicious Of the witness, and
to this day I have never been able to
rid my mind Of the absurd impression
that there was something not quite
right about J. Parker Green. 1t was
all nonsense, Of course, but the jury
must have been affected as I was, for
Green was discredited and the defend
ant went free"

| II can be brave and patient, too; but,
| oh this kind of trouble is so terrible. If
the earth had opened and swallowed him,
he could not have been lost more surely.
Oh, Ben Coop! Ben Coop! we must find
him.
IF he is on earth he shall be found,
miss" said Ben; and then they both look
ed round in startled fashion, for the lady
who was sitting near gave a low cry and
sprang to her feet.
Antonio gave her a faint smile, and
called back the larger of the two dogs
that accompanied her, and that she saw
had approached closely to the lady's chair.
II am so sorry" she said; but he is
only friendly; he will not hurt any one
Sylvia Castella smiled back in a forced
| way.
"He startled me-" she said, and then
she bowed, and, turning, moved away.
She walked in a mechanical fashion
back to where her carriage stood, and
once she paused and looked behind her,
But Antonio and her companion were pac-
ing on slowly together, and if they had
| given any heed to her, she was now for
gotten. Sylvia laughed bitterly.
This is evidently to be a day of sur
prise and remembrance" she said.
She drove away, bending her head
proudly to one or two men who recognized
her, and she went back to her luxurious
little home in listless frame of mind. A
letter was waiting for her. 1t was in
Stanton's handwriting
Il have what you desire. May l csne
to ysu tonight" he wrote.
Sylvia Castella stood looking at the
words. She almost wished they had not
| been written. How had he got the money
Sylvia Shivered suddenly.
She recalled his passionate words OF
that time they had been togcther-that
| fierce declaration that he would sink even
to crime if by so doing he could win her
Acting on a sudden impulse, she sent him
| a telegram.
Impossible tonight. Will see you to,

And she felt as if she were respited for
| time. But she was destined to be
taught new lesson.

ed her carriage, and as she alighted at
her gate a mans figure approached her
| and took off his hat.
"A bargain is a bargain, Sylvia" Stan,
ton said, in a low voice, land could NOT
| wait till tomorrow"
You cannot come in now. 1t is toe
late" she said, hurriedly.
Stanton laughed as he held open the
| gate.
'As in a few days we shall be mar
| and wife, can be allowed certain priv
iieges, Sylvia" he said. But If you fear
| to shock your servants, we can talk in the
garden. The night is lovely, the air mild
1t can do you no HARM"
Sylvia Castella paused an instant
then, with a shrug of her shoulders, pass
ed up the path and entered the house.
Yet she shivered as she heard his steI
behind her. She had the feeling upor
her that he was changed man--that fol
her sake he had taken upon himself some
dark burden; and she was much nearer
the truth than she supposed.

CHAPTER XVI.

Antonio had left her uncle's house
without coming in contact with Lady Bet
ty--for she could not but feel that her
first instinct of doubt for Lady Betty
would be proved a true one.
It had cheered her to receive Lady
Charlotte's tender and yet practical sym
pathy: nevertheless. it was not until she
was safely lodged in this friends home
that Antonia fully grasped the magnitude
of the step she had taken.
1t was the morning of the fifth day
since Hubert had disappeared. AZ yet
the search had lain only in Ben's hands.
aided by one of the porters at the hotel
who had volunteered his services.
Had Ben acted on his own response
bility he would have gone instantly to
Gerald Tenby and have bluntly demanded
if the cousins had met, but Antonia quick
ly objected to this.

to Mill Cross Court, l understand, from
the newspapers that Sir Gerald Tenby is
still there. The papers are not always
to be relied upon. Find out for me if ne
is there, and if he has been there ever
since the funeral"
AS she crossed the drive and walked
slowly toward one of the smaller paths,
she became conscious that some one was
following her. Acting on sudden inn
pulse, she turned and found herself face
to face with Gerald Tenby.
For an instant everything was black
before Antonia's eyes. She drew back.
Had she yielded to the first instinct that
pressed on her heart, she would have
turned and left this man without even
acknowledgment Of his presence; but in
the brain of most women there turks a
certain faculty which gives them knowl-
edge how to act In the most supremacy
difficult moments.

CHAPTER XIV,

Sylvia Castella took counsel with her
self the day following that dinner with
Stanton. She was at first disposed to re-
gard his words in the light of imperti-
hence.
IL shah have to see that money before
my eyes," Sylvia Castella unused, as she
lay on her pillow, lazily opening her let
tiers. ~ shall have to be we'll assured
there Is no trick before / give away my
freedom. ana not sure that I'm not a
fool to tie myself down at all yet have
90 face the unpleasant truth that, despite
the fact of my seeming youth, 1 am verg-
iEg on that age which means the end of
all"
She expected be have seen Stanton dur
ipg the day that followed; but he did
not come. In fact, she neither saw nor
heard of him for three days, and, wom-
an-Iike, Sylvia resented this.
Had she exacted too much?" she asked
herself.
This day. as she drove to some shops,
her mind was dwelling on the question of
George Stanton in manner that was ivi-
Eating to her.
When she left the shors she drove to
the park. Here she descended from her
earriage, and went to sit awhile on a chair
under a shsdy tree.
Many eyes were drawn to her, and no
one gave her purer admiration than a
tail. slender, dark-eyed girl, who was
walking on the grass, with two dogs at her
heels. On her part, Sylvia found this
girl rory pheasant TO look upon. She adj
mired the grace with which the girl NOV
cd, and the lines of the white linen gown,
and when turn of the head revealed An
tomas face, she felt her admiration deep
en-.
Sylvia Casteila felt puzzled and this
feeling despened when she saw the girl
move forward eagerly and greet middle
aged man, who came across the graSs-a
man who looked as if he worked for liv-
ing.
From under the shade of her parasof
eylvia watched Antonio greet this man.
She was rear enough to catch their words,
and after the first sentence Sylvia smiled.
She thought she understood.
This was only the emissary of love, not
love itself She listened intently. 1t was
q long, ling time since she had been so
interested in anything.
1t was Antonia who spoke first.
'You have nothing to tell me. can
read 1t in your face"
Ben sighed as he looked into Antonia's
eyes. "Ne news, miss-rothing :: only the
same awful fear, the same mystery"

CHAPTER XIV Continued.)
"Gerald TenBy!' she repeated in a
stranged sort of way. Are you telling
me, Edward, that Gerald Tenby has pro-
posed for Antonio"
A great sorrow came into Edward
Marchmont's eyes.
80 1 learn from my brother" he an
swered. Does this surprise you, BettyT'
Betty Marchmont was white TO the
lips. She dared not let her husband see
hnr face. She noved restlessly to the win
dow and stood looking out into the street
with eyes that saw nothing, so bitter and
overwhelming was the modification that
crowded her heart.
IL told my brother" said her husband,
slowly, that though l know practically
nothing Of Gerald Tenby, / thought it
possible that you would be able to enlight-
en- him thoroughly. However, there will
be no need to discuss this matter, for An
tonia has no intention Of becoming Ger
aid Tenby's wife,"
Lady Betty quivered as if she had been
struck. Though these words gave her re-
lief in one sense, they stung her in an
other.

not remain here"
"She has no intention of doing so, y
replied Mr.. Marchmont, very quietly. "ln
an hours time or so she will have gone !;
and to me, at least, her departure will sig
nifty great loss"
He walked to the door, and opened it
for his wife to pass out as he said this,
and Lady Betty went with laugh.
When she was outside, she did not
laugh she walked slowly up the stairs,
and her face was convulsed with passion
Even now she could hardly bring her
9 self to believe that what her husband had
told her could be true II she could have
been sure of seeing Gerald she would have
returned TO his chambers but she had no
desire 10 come in contact with George
Stanton a second time
She had reached her own room by this
time, and she pulled down the blinds with
q jerk, and threw herself into a chair to
sit and weave out her best way of working
her will.

Effects OF Rareaed Atmosphere.

Miss Jane Il. Duncan tells of the eff
fects of the rarefed atmosphere ON one
OF the lofty passes In western Tibet.
"Even hill ponies sometimes spin round
and drop down dead. But In my own
case felt the air so exhilarating that
could have laughed and sung for pure
Joy II there had been anybody to keep
me in countenance. and was In the
