while fishing about two miles away

mad at the time, and grandfather

any one for years. 1t is only lately
that he has got over it. You see, he

favorite of his"

"At some very far distant date

The evening which followed was all
that was gay and entertaining. MISS
Enderby was, Notwithstanding her
plainness and peculiar physiogomy,
the life and soul of the party. In the
drawing room she gave us some
music, and / sauntered over to her
side. Suddenly she stopped in the
midst of sonata, raised her full
greenish eyes to my face, smiled, and
rose from her. seat at the piano.
Il have played enough" she said,
and left the room. When l sought my
apartment again that night my mind
was still running on the strange per-
sonality of Miss Enderby. | fiatter
myself that I am not very susceptible
to the control of other peoples
glances, but could not conceal from
myself that there was something in
her eyes that exercised an odd inf1u-
ence over me. The admission annoy
ed me, and went to bed resolved to
dismiss Miss Enderby and all her
works from my thoughts. I was not
long in falling asleep, but once again,
as "a hours before, / awoke suddenly
with the same odd impulse forcing me
to arise There was no thought of
resisting the impulse in my mind; /

She stopped speaking and stared
past me toward the wall. Her express
sion changed again, she looked at me
| in a confused manner
'What have / been saying?" she
queried. "Oh, yes, came to tell you
to go away from hereto leave me
alone"
Here I interrupted her and pointed
to the door. Leave me-" / said
sharply. ''You have delivered your
message; now CO."
She obeyed, backing slowly to the
door, and pausing on the threshold.
'T warned you," she said. From
now on you are in peril" She
waved her hand and disappeared. /
went back to bed, but my slumbers
were disturbed by unquiet dreams.
When the dawn began to break I
dressed myself and went out. The
day beginning was the one before
Christmas. Against my will I wander
ed in the direction of Miss Enderby's
house. Suddenly I saw her turning a
corner and coming to meet me. She
approached and wished me Good
morning" in a pleasant, everyday
voice. I came to the point without
hesitating.
Miss Enderby," l said, why did
you visit me twice in the dead OF
night in the sitting room which is
connected with the panelled bed
room?"
"I never visited you," she cried, her
face turning pale "Tell me what you
mean"
"On the first night of my arrival"
answered, "you compelled me to
arise, you compelled me to go to my
sitting room. You were there wait
ing for me; again last night you Wis
tied me, and on that occasion you
told me-
'Told you what?" she interrupted
in voice which was almost q hiss.
What did / say?"
"You told me the secret OF Lock

will you please sit down.
I found myself impelled to sit "You
see," she said triumphantly, ''that to
certain extent YOU are in my power.
You are wondering how I came here,
but that does not matter. I warned
you that you would do yourself no
good by interfering with me. Yet
you have used your influence today
to put Constance against me. You
are doubtless aware of the value Of
the young life which you seek to pro-
tect. I, as the only child of my moth

pittance, and even that Is not mine

/ made no reply, and she continued
to stare at me. 'In order to inf1u-
ence you," she said, 81 shall have to
tell you my story. My father died
when / was four years old; he died
in lunatic asylum, where / may fol-
low him some day, but not yet, if

for q time in this house with my
mother, but at the age of seven was
sent to France to be educated. The
lady who had charge of me was pro-
found student of mesmerism. She
discovered that / was a medium, that

I became, after year or two of her
manipulations, very valuable clair
voyant. Shortly after my eighteenth
year I came back to England; my
friend had died. my mother was anx-
ious that / should live with her, and
came to the house which she now
inhabits. My uncle, my mothers step
brother, the heir to this vast property,
had just been married. / hated him
for living at all. But for him / should
have been the heiress of Queens Mar
vel. Perhaps you have heard that
my Uncle Gerald died when out fish
ing, being found drowned in Lock
liverpool, which is part of our river
about two miles from here. Well. I
will tell you how he really came by
his death"
She hesitated; curious blank look
came over her face, vague terror
that shone in her eyes and drew deep
Hne around her mouth. She crouched
slightly downwards, became rigid for
an instants a. II she we're going TO-

and regained my chamber by means
OF the servants staircase. / went in,
shut the door, and sat for some time
thinking over the position Of affairs.
Whether Miss Enderby was mad
or sane, my plain duty was to ac-
quaint her relatives with the occur

was not safe to have such woman at
large. Doubtless even now she
thought was dead, as / assuredly

cry OF the secret door at the back of
the safe. After resting for an hour
/ changed my dress and went down to
the ballroom. / heard the merry
strains Of music, and entered the ball
room by one of the side doors. The
first person / saw was Constance.
She looked radiant In her white
dress; the light of youth and happi-
ness shone in her hazel eyes. When
she saw me she smiled; she was,
knew afterward, perfectly unconscious
of the terrible deed she had just COM
mitted. did not trouble her with
any remark, but went further into the
room. | stepped up to an open win
dow, and partly concealing myself be-
hind curtain, began to look around
was now able to watch Miss Ender-
by without being seen myself She
was dancing with handsome man,
and talking to him brightly. But
observed that, Notwithstanding her as
sumed mirth, she was the victim Of
an uneasy terror Seen closer, her
face looked haggard. l could not re-
sist the temptation to stretch out one
of my hands and lay it on her shoul-
der. She was talking to her partner
at the time, and they were in the act
of resuming the waltz. She turned,
her eyes met mine, an expression Of
horror came over her face, and she
retreated backwards, gazing at me
with distended pupils. / have not the
least doubt that she thought / was a
ghost-it was impossible for her to
believe that / could have found my
way out of my living tomb. With a
shrek she sank the next moment In
sort Of fit at my feet. Some peo-
pie rushed forward and bore the faint
ing woman out of the room. / fol-
lowed and did what l could to restore
her to consciousness, but when she
finally opened her eyes I knew by
their wild glare that the woman was
mad.
Within week from that date Miss
Enderby died, without ever having
one CLEAN of returning sanity The
shock of seeing me when she thought
I had quilted the world had complete
ly overbalanced her alroady too-ex-
citable brain. With her death the ne
cessity for disclosing her frightful Sc
cret no longer remained, and I was
my own counsel.
AS to Constance, she is my special
friend, and to her dying day she will
never know what a narrow escape she
had from taking my life.

Chinese Farms.

With China as large as il il. one

population II the Celestial Empire Is
scattered. owning farms OF a size not
unlike our Western farms This IL a
false impression. for one of the most
striking features Of Chinese life Is
the tendency of the farming popuia-

farmers go out and TIL the fields.
Generally speaking, the villages are
small. averaging not an ncre in size.
There are no wooden fences and no

between various farms. Most VIII
