dnnl RICHARD WILLIAMS.
The young man made q number OF
rppies uf re Telegram and had them
sent 10 various junction points along
all possible routes between Texas and
New York In the hope that his father
might be intercepted on whatsoever
train he might be a passenger and re-
ceive one of them. And in order TO
make assurance doubly sure he gave
orders that the kilograms were TO be
repeated regardless OF expense until
The sendee had been reached. Richard
had perfect right to say that he was
wei and unhurt. and In consideration
uf Mr. Renwyck's method of doing
business be persuaded himself that he
was also right In adding his noncor,-
INITIAL warning. BY this he hoped TO
put the cattle king on his guard. in
which case he trusted to his fathers
Ehrewdness TO circumvent the enemy.
This duly discharged. Richard called
AZ ST. Lnke's hospital and was much
distressed TO learn that Lord Croyland

wel0ped a high fever. and In his pres
cpf condition could receive no visitors.

In the meantime the final rehearsal OF
s.Tbe Man and the Bird was material
~ lnterfered with by an upheaval OF
conflicting emotions OH the part OF
Miss Imogene Chittendon. BY the
morning post that young lady received
q letter. which she read through sew
erai times. then ran to her room. flung
herself upon the bed and expressed her
emotion In tears and Mysteries.
Miss Renwyck, In passing through
the hall. caught the sound of weeping
and went In TO comfort her. She found
Miss Imogene in truly pitiable state.
and the better part OF an hour elapsed
before an intelligent explanation OF
the trouble could be obtained. Miss
Chittendon told her story In jerlxy. dis
5ointcd sentences. so interspersed with
sobs ana gasps that to quote her In de-
tail would be an utter impossibility.
The thread OF the romance ran In this
wise:
Several months previous to the open
ing OF this narrative Miss Imogene
had been pupil In fashionable
young ladies' school In MorrIstown.
N. j. Like many OF her mates. she
had carried on innocent f1irtations be-
meath the very noses OF certain stately
sray headed wardens OF propriety
harmlcssly enough. In her last and
most violent affaire du occur. however.
she suddenly found cause bitterly to
xegret her rashness.
