CHAPTER XVIII.
George Laxon Again.

George Laxon had never left Eng
land; his name was on the passenger
list, IS also that of the child, but
neither had gone. All this Dorothy
had cleaned from the wretched man
who had come down from London,
thinking to get hush money from the
countess by simply breathing George
Laxon's name.
He had heard Laxon, In a drunken
bout, speak of her in a jeering, slight
ing manner, just enough to know that
there was some secret, but not gain
ing even hint of what the secret
was.
Dorothy had soon discovered this,
and she did not spare him; on the
other hand, she rejoiced, If such a
term can be used, to think that he
had given her hint as to Laxon's
movement, and put her on her guard
After dinner, when the ladies were
in the drawing room, there was a
great connection IN the hall, and
Dorothy, asking sharply what it
meant, was told that virginie had
caught man stealing into Lord Der
riman's writing room, which opened
on to the side colonnade, and had
captured him as a burglar. With a
sharp exclamation, Dorothy put down
her cup of coffee and swept to the
door.
"Gervais!" she cried, standing be-
fore the crowd of excited domestics
and the gentlemen, who were all talk
ing at once round the unfortunate
man, held stoutly by two footmen.
What does this meant"
"Virginie says this man was found
IN my writing ROOM" Gervais said,
looking troubled.
The culprit threw a glance at Dor
othy. She understood it.
He did not know how much, but
he could make things horribly un-
pleasant for her. If George Laxons
name were mentioned and any weight
thrown upon it, she shivered to think
OF the questions Gervais would ask.
Absurd! Nonsense" she declared,
sharply. "Virginie is much too clever
know this man, He is not theft
The earl's face cleared like magic;
he hated the thought of pain and
harm to any man.
Let him go, Stevens. he said to
one of the footmen. "Her ladyship
has spared us much unpleasantness
Come here, my man. don't be afraid.
With that he held out five-pound
note, Offering 1t to the grimy creature
whom Dorothy knew in her heart had
fully intended robbipg him Of all he
could conveniently lay hands on.
With a dazzling smile Dorothy
| swept over to the man, who stood
blinking and gazing at her sparkling
diamonds with sullen and covetous
admiration. When she was close tc
him he shivered at her angry glance
HBe OFF," she whispered in a faint
voice: be on, at once. The next time
you will not be spared from prison
SO easily. Go. Do you hear me?'
Then, lifting her voice, she said, 81
that the others might hear: "Yes

Herbert Spencer one time put
very neatly the distinction between
sport as an amusement and as an
occupation. Dropping in at his club,
he met young friend who invited
him to play billiards. The philoso-
pher led off and left the balls in a
good position for his opponent, who
dexterously ran out, not allowing his
companion another shot. After de-
posting his cue in the rack the phi
losopher remarked: "Sir, a certain
proficiency in such sport as this is
D sign of good education of the
eye, the nerve, the hand, but the
mastership of billiards which you
have exhibited could have been &C
auired only by an ill-spent youth"

IN the barbarous days of ole, when
every man had to watch carefully
over his own safety, when two per-
sons met they offered each to the
other the right hand, the hand that
wields the club. sword, knife or other
weapon Of war. Each did this to
show that the hand was empty, and
that, therefore, no trouble needed to
be feared. The handshake was the

Were all women essentially mod.
est, there would never be any occa.
sion to protest against the immod-

York Mail. Perhaps the fault, in
the last analysis, lies not with the
modiste, but with the religious guides
and builders of the race. The. nun
is not made chaste by her dress, but
by the motive which impels her to

 CEIPTS LIGHT.

NEW YORK, February 20.--The steel trade position was the one subject of discussion in the stock market to- day. The changed condition into which the steel trade have been thrown by the announced determination of the Steel corporation to modify prices so as to secure business is fully equalled by tho confusion of speculative opinion as to results to be apprehended from this action There was evidence of current conRment in the stock market of equal confusion over the motives which prompted the action.
 Railroad stocks were relatively light ly affected by the demoralization in steel industrials. Some of the minor Steel stocks were much demoralized and smmped violently.
 The fall of United States Steel was more restrained, influenced by world wide participation in the market for the stock The flood of liquidation of United States Steel was constant, how ever, and the last price of 46 vas the lowest of the day. The break in Colo rado Fuel reached over points; Repub lie Steel preferred, 6, and common more than 4. Pennsylvania suffered a drop of 2la points in accordance to the large proportion of traffic which is made up of steel and steel products.
 Outside of this and Reading s 2.point decline, the loss in the railroad list was moderate at times during the short ses- sion. and there were points of strength in that department.
