The Mystery Solved.


N the midst Of Brill's grateful res
olutions came a gentle tap upon
the cabin door. Stebbins started
up from his caressing of the bits
of wire and the slender steel rod in his
hands and looked at his patron for in
structiOns.
Brill signed to him to open the door:
1t might be the corrupted jailer, he
thought. At any rate, it was best not
to show himself.
Aristides performed his duty with
great caution. In an instant he turned
and said in an eloquent whisper:
Miss Jennison, SIR
Brill's heart seemed to rise and en-
gorge his throat. What evil circum-
stance had brought the girl to the
cabin at. such time as this?
The girl came into the cabin, her
eyes filed with something that spoke
Of trouble and with u, very. manifest
flush on her fair cheeks. Brill saw
the, two emotions and hardly knew
which to consider first. But Marion

When he rose it was as If he were q

Strengthened out, and the bar flew up
with it and struck the man a terrific
blow on the wrist.
A howl. Of pain came from the Mex
lean as the revolver flew to the ceiling,
struck 1t and .clattered back to the
floor, but without discharge.
With the ferocity Of a panther Brill
was upon the fellow and bore him
struggling to the floor, grip of iron
upon his throat. Little by little the
captive was choked into submission.
Brill looked for Stebbins. There stood
his rustic servitor with some pieces Of
rope that he had drawn from beneath
his coat.
by Jove, you certainly do think OF
things, Jay!' cried his master admir-
ingly. Nov help me tie this-car-

When the Mexican was firmly bound
and lay motionless on the floor his van
quishers went cautiously into the room
from which he had come. They were
to take no chances of an ambush, as
Brill whispered to his valet, No hui
man being was visible.
Brill stepped to one of the berths
and peered in. A recumbent figure
| was stretched upon the mattress. The
first sight of it. almost stopped the
blood in his veins, the second set his
heart pumping furiously, yet he re-

PROLOGUE,

The action Of the story has its real
beginning on all ocean liner bound for
Europe and just leaving New York. 1t
has been boarded in haste on a winter
day by Overton Brill, a wealthy young
bachelor, who, attracted by a pretty
girl accompanied by an elderly gentle
man, has followed them aboard. Brill
was on his way uptown with Aristides
Stebbins, his valet, known as Jay,
when he saw the girl, just after pur-
chasing a valuable bracelet as gift
for a Miss Carstairs. The passenger
list reveals the names Of the pursued
as Mr. Andrew JennisOn and daughter.
Brill finds himself without money and
negotiates with dark individual
named Benedict for the sale Of the
bracelet. receiving $500 for it, with
which he secures de luxe cabin. At
dinner the conversation turns to the
weather, and Professor Penny
thorpe's storm prediction is placed be-
fore Captain HUMPHREYS for Judgment.
Brill makes the acquaintance Of Mr..
Jennison, and the two proceed to the
captains cabin to inspect phenom-
email, wonderfully trained canary. At
luncheon a jovial person, Christopher
G. Marsh, introduces himself to Brill.
Starting from sound sleep Brill hears
through the window Benedict, the pro-
fessor and Jennison discussing the
large shipment of gold aboard. Soon
after this he is rewarded by a smile
from Marion Jennison for small
courtesy. Icebergs and fog are report
ed. Jennison, worrying about the gold,
observes that the ship is off its course.
Marsh notices that the captain hasn't
been at the dinner table for several
days. Brill meets Marsh on deck.
Hearing noise in supposedly unoc
cupied stateroom, they investigate with
the captain, but find nothing. The al
tered course of the vessel frightens the
passengers, who protest. Brill and
Marsh look to. Jay to assist in secret
search of the mysterious stateroom.
A wireless reports that Russia has de-
clared war against Great. Britain.
Marsh suspects Benedict Of having
manufactured the message. Professor
Pennythorpe armed with marine
glass watches strange craft approach
astern. At the Christmas feast Brill
becomes jealous Of Benedict's atten-
lions to Miss Jennison. Marsh, still
suspicious, continues hts investigations
Of the mysterious noises. Another war
notice is posted up. Jennison confides
to Brill that. $50,000,OO0 in gold is be-
ing shipped to Russia secretly. Jen-
nison wires his partner for 1nstruc-
tons and is told to transfer the gold
to Russian ship. Marsh and Brill sus-
pect that the dispatches were tempered
with. The two visit the captain, but
quickly leave on Brill seeing note
addressed to the captain from Bene-
dict, which arouses suspicion that >the
captain is in league with the con-
spirators. Brill tells Miss Jennison
about himself. Brill is accused Of theft
and is ordered to remain in his cabin
a prisoner. The jailer is bribed, and
Brill goes to Marsh's room, from which
it is intended to reach the room of
mystery. Marsh goes to reconnoiter.

ting at the ropes that bound the man
in the berth. In the midst of the work
came knock, followed by the seamew
call. Stebbtns opened the door, and
Marsh entered.
His keen eyes noted at once the
strangeness of Brill's attitude, and he
crossed to the berth and looked in.
His face paled, and his expressive lips
twitched violently.
1.-THE devil!' was all he could find
words to say.

served Brill, with faint smile.
"The dinner is on. me-" exclaimed
Marsh jubilantly. Its worth one for
the whole ships company. He's com.
ing to. Give him few drops of this
He drew tiny blue bottle from his
pocket, and Brill, raising the head of
the man on the bed, forced some of
the liquid between his bloodless lips.
Marsh looked again and gasped.

Queues on the Hats.

Long, slim queues with bright beads
on the one end and saucy little hats
on the other make Fifth avenue in
New York look like the road to Man
dalay. There are cunning little hats
shaped like pagodas which are
trimmed with applied terra Gotta cher
ries. One of these hats has an un-
derbrim of black patent leather braid
and the black silk tassel on top stands
up straight. A black, tasseled ribbon
streamer completes the hat. The
chin-chin" hat has crown of shirred
silk. The black milan rim covers both
eyebrows and stops at nothing save
the lashes. A queue of braided ribbon
hangs at the back which has a tassel
of let beads at the end, reaching be
low the waist.

Church Music.

Such is our nature, that even the
best things, and most worthy of our
esteem, do not always employ and de-
tain our thoughts in proportion to
their real value, unless they be set off
and greatened by some outward cir
cumstances, which are fitted to raise
admiration and surprise in the breasts
of those who hear or behold them.
And this good effect is wrought in US
by the power of sacred music. To It
we, in good measure, owe the dignity
and solemnity of our public worship.
Church music, when decently ordered,
may have as great uses in this army
of supplicants as the sound Of the
trumpet has among the host OF the
mighty men. 1t equally rouses the
courage, equally gives life, and vigor,
and resolution, and unanimity to these
holy assailants.-Francis Atterbury.

A group of three of the latest sum-
mer blouses pictured in the illustra-
ton given here, shows some of the
new finishing touches by which manu-
facturers accomplish variety in max
ing these waists. They are of pongee
and crepe-de-ehine. Machine hem
stitching and buttons are the features
depended upon for decoration, and
occasional little oddities In the cut
of collar and cuffs or yoke and body
give individuality to the design.
At the left plain waist of poe
gee, also made in crepe, has seams set
together with machine hemstitchNg.
The long, plain sleeves are finished at
the wrist with a hemstitched band
instead of cuffs. Buttons are set on
in groups and are often In red, green
or black; the brightest of the green
or red shades are used.
At the right dainty waist of crepe

In big Swamp" the region known
as the Everglades in Florida, many
sections of which are still practically
unexplored today, is found the rare
blue heron. The plumes OF the blue
heron command high prices and are
extremely difficult to secure. During
the breeding and mating season the
birds congregate at various points,
and as the principal tail plumes inter-
fere with their nesting, they cast
them off, which gives the hunter his
chance. In order to locate these
carefully hidden breeding places he
climbs a tree, and from the top
watches the flight of the birds, using
as a landmark a dead tree or some
other object in the distance to guide
him farther in his search through the
intricate maze of waterways and tan
gled vegetation comprising the Ever
glades.

In the prairie region west of the
Mississippi, spring planting gives best
results.
In the middle Atlantic states the
work Is divided between spring and
August planting with the balance in
favor of the latter in some localities.
In New England the work is chiefly
confined to the spring months, al
though there are enthusiastic advo-
Gates of fall planting, especially
among those who combine strawberry
growing with the trucking business
on expensive lands near the large
cities.
In the Atlantic Coast states south of
New York, August and September
planting Is extensively practiced, par
ticularly upon the more retentive
soils.
In the trucking region on the islands
about Charleston, S. c., the spring
planting is extensively practiced, as it
results in a paying crop the following
year, while only small crop can be
harvested from fall set plants.
On the heavier soils of South Caro-
lima, however, fall planting with the
paying crop one year from the fol-
lowing spring, is the most profitable
method.

mer or fall when the planting should

There is no excuse for getting the
hair dusty, for dust caps can be bought
in pretty prints in pink or violet and

These are really pretty caps, with
an elastic to keep them snug at the

only for sweeping and busting, but
for cooking.
They keep any possible dust from
the hair safely out of the way and
they also keep the odors of cooking

Ale Is Ancient Beveraae.

Brewing early became an industry
of large proportions in England,
though the brewers product was
called ale. because the use of hops in
the making of it had been introduced.
Brewing was practiced extensively
by the monks in England as far back
as the twelfth century. The use Of
hops in brewing is said to have been
learned by the English from the Scan
dinavians and that this ingredient had
then become of wide use among the
Germans, who called their malt liquor
containing hops, beer.
