was persuaded to stay a week beyond

palace Of the Beast. The poor crea-

he believed to be her loss, and the
sight of his pain and his delight gave
her courage to avow her recognition of

Instantly the Beast was Transformed

CHAPTER KILL.

Notwithstanding all Pelling's efforts,
the story soon got into the newspa pers,
and, 1t being the dull season, was seized
upon with avidity by the gossip purvey-
ors. 1t was "dished" and "redished"

Miss M of M Park, in Exbridge-
shire, had attempted to poison her hus-
band, to whom she had been secretly
married only month or two, in order to
become the wife of celebrated R. A.,
while another declared that the husband
presented himself at the altar with ps-
tolls, and. dragging his would-be success

upon a duel there and then. and wound

that the unfortunate man now lay In a
most critical condition, while the hus-

lay bare the truth. With the assistance
of mis- lawyer, he drew up concise state
ment of the real facts, giving his own
and Pauline's name in full, but Suppress
ing Jacks. He carefully conveyed the
idea that Pauline believed him to be
dead, and gave the circumstance to her
change of name as sufficient to account
for his not having discovered her exist
ence since his return from Africa. This
he sent to two of the daily newspapers,
and. thus Invested of all mystery, the
story lost its charm, and no longer af-
forded any interest.
Pelling sent one Of these newspapers,

Polling paused and looked attentively
at the young man. He knew there was
not much generosity In giving Ethel up,
as he could not marry her himself dur
ing the lifetime Of his wife, and, hay
ing plenty Of true manliness, he did not
mean to make any show Of the misera-
BILE pain that was gnawing at his heart;
but he felt he should like to know what
sort of man this was whose path he
intended to smooth for him as far as lay
In his power; and. while he thought of
this, the memory of Ethel's face, panied
and sorrowful as he saw it when she
made to him her confession of love for
this Dornton came suddenly before him,
and he knew that the greatest kindness
he could do her would he to restore her
lover. Presently be said. abruptly:

state is legal heir to the property Of
foster parents. This is probably the
first case of its kind in an Idaho
court.
The Indian maiden's name is Eli
"a. When a papoose she was adopt
cd by family named McWilliams.
The adoption was sanctioned by the
Nez Perez tribe. to which ELIAS par
ents for unknown generations had
been prominent in council. The
adoption was in accordance with the
tribal customs and the ceremony was
interesting and spectacular. The
McWilliams apparently never realiz-
ed the necessity or Importance of
adopting the dusky maiden in the
white mans court. They thought as
long as they conformed to the laws
and customs of the Indians that the
pretty little maiden was legally their
own.
When the foster parents died the
white relatives took possession OF the
property, leaving Eliza with nothing
but the name of her parents and Their
memory. She has taken the matter
into court to gain possession Of finC

FOR MILL OPERATIVES.
Associated Press to The Evening Tlmes.

Boston, Mass, July 2-The new
scale which went into effect today in
the cotton mills Of New Bedford and
Fall River brings the total of cotton
mill operatives in New England, who
nave received wage advance this
year up to $4,000. If the number of
wooden mill operatives, who were adj
vanced 10 per cent last January are
added, the total number of textile
operatives to receive an increase is
$4,000. 1t is probable that before
the close of the present movement the
number will reach 10000, as many
of the mills in other parts of Mas
sachusetts and in New Hampshire are
expected to follow the example of the
Fall River mills.
