Now, one day, when Esmeralda, the
Queen of the Fairies, was taking a
ride upon Flitterwing, her favorite
dragon fly, the wicked King of the
Black Gnomes heard of it. Then he
sent out such huge cloud Of thick,
black smoke from his countless forges
in the heart of the mountain that poor
FlitterWing lost his way, and. over
come by the smoke, sank to the
ground.
AS soon as Flitterwing fell the
wicked little gnomes pounced upon
Esmeralda and bore her away captive
to their King.
"Oh, ho," said that wicked monarch,
so I have you in my power at last.
Now | shall put you in the deepest,
darkest dungeon of my castle and if
you do not guess my riddle within
three days will keep you there the
rest of your life" Then he told the
Queen the riddle and when she heard
it she burst into tears
"Oh, | know | shall never, never
guess it in all my fairy life, much less
in three days." she exclaimed And
they led her weeping to the deepest,
darkest dungeon and there locked her
In.
Now, when it grew late and the
Queen did not return to her palace all
the attendants and the fairies-in- wait
ing grew very uneasy.
At length little Squank, the favorite
goblin at the court, who had been
down in the garden teaching a party
Of young crickets how to jump, came
in for his supper. And when he
learned the cause of every ones un-
easiness he pushed his supper plate
away.
Il can eat nothing until find out
what evil has happened to our dear
Queen he said. And away he started
in search of the Queen. Soon he came

straight to his castle
1t was as dark at pitch when he got
there, and, being very, very tiny, he
prowled around without anyone of
the black gnomes seeing him. High
and low he searched, but could find
no trace of the Queen. At length he
spied black beetle, creeping through
a crevice in the castle wall.
Black Beetle cried Squank. have

Il was at the next table too far
away to read what was written upon
it, but whatever it was. it seemed to
give him immense satisfaction He
finished his coffee, returned to his
rooms, changed his clothes, and went
directly to the office of Snedecker,
the man whose divorce case he is try
ing to trump UP. Evidently he's good
for days work on that, so I thought
l could safely leave him at it, and re-
port to you"
"Humph! I'd like to have glimpse
of that communication in the cigar
cite box, but it isn't of sufficient i'm
portance, on the face of it, to show
our hand by having him waylaid, or
searching his rooms Blaine cogitated
aloud I'll put another man on to-
morrow morning. Leave the address
of the tobacconist with my secretary
on your way out, and if there is an
other message tomorrow, he'll get it
first. You needn't do anything more
on this Paddington matter: | think the
other end needs your services more;
and since you've already broken
ground up there, you'll be able to do
better than anyone else. l want you
to return to the Bronx, get back your
old room, if you can, and stick close
to the Brunells"
Back in his old rooms at Mrs. Quin-
lan's, Guy sat in the window-seat at
dusk, impatiently awaiting the appear
ance of a slender, well-known figure.
The rain, which had set in early in the
afternoon, had turned to sleet and as
the darkness deepened, the rays from
a solitary street lamp cleaned sharp
ly upon the pavement as upon an un-
broken sheet of ice.
Presently the spare, long-limbed
form of James Brunell emerged from
the gloom and disappeared within the
door of this little house opposite.
Morrow observed that the mans step

lacked it's accustomed jauntiness and
spring, and he plodded along wearily,
as if utterly preoccupied with some
depressing meditation. A light sprang
up in the front room on the ground
floor, but after few moments it was
suddenly extinguished, and Brunell
appeared again on the porch. He
closed the door softly behind him, and
strobe quickly down the street. There
was a marked change in his bearing,
a furtiveness and eager haste which
i'll accorded with his manner of a
short time before
Scarcely had Brunell vanished into
the encroaching gloom, when his
daughter appeared. She, too, ap-
preached wearily, and on reaching the
little sagging gate she paused in sur
prised dismay at the air of detached
emptiness the house seemed to eXude,
Then a little furry object scurried
around the porch corner and precipi-
tated itself upon her. She stopped
swiftly gathered up the kitten in her
arms and went slowly into the house.
Morrow ate his supper in absent
minded haste, and as soon as he de-
Gently could, he made his way across
the street.
Emily opened the door in response
to his ring and greeted him with such
undisguised pleasure and surprise that
mis- honest heart quickened breat or
two, and it was with difficulty that
he voiced the plausible falsehood CON
corning his loss of position, and re-
turn to his former abode.
Under the light in the little drawing
room, he noticed that she looked pale
and careWorn, and her limpid, child
like eyes were yelled pathetically with
deep, blue shadows AS he looked at
her, however, a warm tint dyed her
cheeks and her head dropped, while
the little smile still fingered about her
lips.

manded Enoch Golden as he flung
open his library door. He stepped in
side, the next moment, as the figure
in black, pinioned close between
young Manley and Wilson, the butler,
was piloted into the shadowy room.
"Sit down" he barked out at the
silent and motionless figure with the
heavy black veil still draping it's face.
"Manley, is there any chance Of
this woman being armed?' Golden
suddenly asked of his secretary.
She's not armed. sir" was young
Manley's quiet reply, though 1t took

Golden up short.

he saw that he and the veiled woman
were alone in the room. And why

the woman as she threw back the
heavy folds of her veil, "as much as
you misjudged my actions Of twenty
years ago!"
Why are you here?" repeated Gold

voice.

The pugnacity went out of the grim

1t was Manley who spoke next, an

But where did they say the girl

They did not say. But one of them

Oyster Joe was sending the casks by
another man named Old Eli to some

Manley.

Toast for Breakfast
By CONSTANCE CLARKE,

TOAST is great favorite for break
fast, and eaten by many persons.
TO make toast properly. great deal
OF attention is required, much more
than people generally suppose. Never
use new bread for making any kind
of toast, as 1t is moist and tough,
and, besides. is very extravagant.
Take a loaf Of bread about two
days old. cut of as many slices as
may be required. not quite quarter
OF an inch in thickness. Trim off
the crust and ragged edges, toast
over clear fire until the bread is
nicely colored, then turn 1t and toast
the other side, and do not place it 50
near the fire that 1t blackens. Dry
toast should be more gradually made
than buttered toast, as it's great
beauty consists in it's crispness, and
