 Miss Randall, I've got only one triend in the world, and he's out there sn the balcony swearing cuss words at me because I don't go."
 She turned away, evincing sudden and vital interest in a book she had read twice over and knew by heart.
 Do you think you have a right to say that you have only one friend?" she asked gently.
 CT hadn't thought of you as a friend, Miss Randall"
 "Why? How do you think of mel" suddenly facing him, her eyes half timid, half daring, demanding a sin cere answer.
 "Why-just as you, Miss Adele-and [ ought not to think of you at all"
 Do you mean because this unjust charge is hanging over you? Do you think I care for that? Is there any other reason?"
 He nodded. permitting the cards to fall from his hand one by one to the table. "Yes; there is another reason. You remember what Mercutio said of his wound-''Tis neither as deep as a well nor as wide as church door, but twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow; you shall find me a grave man. The bad prince ought not to stay too long, you know"
 She seated herself at the table and scrutinized him with grave, troubled eyes, her chin reposing daintily on the crux of arched hands. "You must make it clearer to me than that. What are you afraid of my finding out?'
 He shrugged and smiled. "Life makes some pretty queer shuf1es, Miss Randall, and you can't fool much with the deck yourself he said, somewhat irrelevantly, picking up the cards and unconsciousty beginning to rifle them. ''If you don't play the game square it's only question of time till you get caught, and then nobody will play with

At length, when it was his turn to play. conscious cnly that he was holding 8 book of cards and conse- quently inferring that be must be in- of poker, he spread his hand face up upon the table
 "Malheurr exclaimed Mime. Davezac, aghast at this startling innovation. '.He expose his hand"
 "I fear" commented the judge, ris- ing and pushing back his chair, "that Colonel Moreau finds it difficult to play cards and listen to the voice of beau tiful woman at the same t13e.''
 "And you cannot say that he have not good taste," commented Mime Da- vezac. "Tiens! We adjourn, then, to the music room. Yeu will come. Colo nel Moreau and monsieur the secre- tarr'
 Adele was still singing, Miss Pleydell accompanying her, and, drawn by the soft harmony, M. Vesudry and Aaron at length forsook the balcony and, as had the others, proceeded to make their way toward the music room. Their goal, however. was never attain ed, for as they stepped through the window into the deserted drawing room they were met by Roulette, one of the French niggers" She carried small bundle made or knotted spot ted handkerchief. and her manner at tested that she was evidently laboring under the repressed excitement incl dent upon discovering business not in tended for her eognizance. In fact, she had but cornpleted a victory over old Group, who had consistently annoyed her with his attentions and, when cen- sured for so doing by his ample wife, had promptly and quite untruthfully charged Roulette with making his life unbearable by her unrequited affection for his person. Since then Roulette, smarting under the calumny, had ea- gerly sought some method of assuag- Ing her outraged feelings, and now at last she had secured it.
 "Miche Aaron" she whispered, pluck ing MT. Randall's sleeve as he was about to pass on-'fMiche Aaron, dat black man, Group. he have secret. Dat secret it is with Niche Moreau."

"I can tell that they did not wish you to see Then when you come from dinner Colonel Moreau he hand this to Group beaind the door. Group he keep it in he breast pocket until he fall asleep on poarch just now. have look. It is all those camels"-
 "Camels?" dryly echoed Aaron, with raised eyebrows.
 "Oui, miche," confidently nodded Roulette, evidently no whit amazed at the idea of the spotted handkerchief being able to accommodate such anil malls. "An those camels the colonel gen'eman wear when he is come, wear them on his fob chain.'' And she opened the spotted handkerchief.
 "Cameos, NJ. Aaronw exclaimed Ana role, an exultant light leaping to his eyes. "See, there they are Now I know. You saw Colonel Moreau when he started for that meeting this morn Ing. You saw him when Tom Randall has meeting this morning. You saw him when Tom Randall has give him that pistol of his fathers to go and kill-who? But one man-Cameo Kir- byv' he cried, leveling his arm at the startled Aaron.
 And, as if further proof were need ed, evidence which proved beyond a houbt the sinister identity of the un- welcome guest, Group entered with a note; which he handed to M. Veaudry.
 "Man on horseback ride all de way from de city wifi it," he explained.
 Hastily scanning it, the young creole handed it in silence to MT. Randall, and the latter read:
 l have one more clew to run down, but [ shall follow this within the hour. I hear a runor that Colonel Moreau took the journey with you this morning. If :his is true, secure his portmanteau, and If he Is still at the plantation do not all low him to quit the place till I come. Use any means to prevent his leaving. Do not hesitate at force. Colonel Moreau was murdered this morning by Cameo Kirby. TOM RANDALL.
 Aaron gravely returned the letter to bis companion, and for long moment the two men looked at each other in silence. Then M. Veaudry quietly placed the paper in his pocket, turned on his heel and strode from the room, Mir. Randall obediently following. At last they had arrived at complete un- derstanding regarding the identity and disposition of the troublesome guest who boldly masqueraded under the name of Colonel Moreau. That no words had been necessary testified to the sinister character of the resolve upon which they had mutely deter mined.
 From the balcony Larkin Bunce, chewing impatiently on his cheroot, waited for Adele to leave the drawing room It was imperative that he should have a final word with Kirby. Escaping from the music room before the others, he had been in time to catch a glimpse of Aaron Randalrs face as the latter followed M. yeaudry, and the sight had not been a comfort ing one, the old gambler feeling asSC--

On the same day courses in aviation
were opened at the Massachusetts In

igation school founded by Count Yep
pelin in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
Techs example will be speedily fol-
lowed by other scientific schools in
this country, prophesies the Boston
Post. The latest addition to the fam
lily circle of science, aeronautics cap
lures the imagination as materializa-
ton of universal dream. The i'm
petus of eager interest pervading all
classes commends aviation irresistibly
to the inventive mind. In all coun-
tries mechanical genius is lavished
upon what was up to this decade com
monty regarded as crack-brained
idea. Rapid development Of the art
of flying seems assured.

that should offer them another chance

Grind a handful of sunflower seeds
and give them to a canary. The
birds relish the little tender pieces
that are found among the seeds.
When washing brushes use table
spoonful of ammonia in cold water.
rinse in two waters and dry in the
sun. This is better than soap.
Mold can be kept from the top of
preserves by putting few drops of
glycerine around the edge Of the jar
before screwing on the cover.
A good polish for oilcloth or limo
leum is made by saving all ends of
candles and melting in the oven.
Mix with it sufficient turpentine to
make soft paste.
Delicious sandwiches for afternoon
tea are made of raisins and nuts
chopped together very fine, nloistened
with a little whipped cream and sea-
soned with little salt.
Do not throw away discarded UNI
brella. The ribs will be found most
useful for stalking chrysanthemums
or other stock plans. Raffia is better
than string for tying up the plants.
To arrange an attractive after-din-
per dish, pile large handsome lunches
of raisins on dolly in glass dish
and fill in the cavities between them
with shelled and blanched nuts of all
kinds.
Canned goods should never be left
In the cans after they are opened.
Metal spoons should never be left in
the fruit or vegetables. These are
two household regulations that
should always be observed.
Great care should be taken to dry
towels thoroughly before putting
them away. If placed in the linen
presses without being well aired.
while still damp, a mold is likely to
form upon them which, it is said,
still produces skin diseases.
Gloves worn at night when the
hands are being softened should be
white, as any dye is apt to come off on
the skin. Cotton has no refining eff
feet and kid has. The gloves should
be at least a size larger than those
usually worn, that circulation may
not be impeded.
Ironing may be made easy by sew
eral thicknesses of newspaper, in
stead of cloth being used when press
ing. This prevents the shiny appear
ance which often follows the use of
damp cloth. Using newspaper
when pressing tucks in dress skirts
instead Of cloth will render the iron
much easier in use.
