"If he will promise upon this honor of his, in whioh yon have such confidence, that he will at once reveal the hiding place of the bonds, I'll permit yon to go. "With whom?" asked Cole, eagerly. "In the oarriage, and unattended. The back man will drive her home." "I'll do it!" "But what is to beoome of Cole?" que* ried the anxious girl. "If nis information tarns out to be correct^be will be set fifee." - wcenr "As soon as we have an opportunity to oaBb the bonds and And a place of safety outside Chicago." "Very well, replied Cole, after exchanging a look with the young lady. "You promise, on your honor, to locate them?" "I promise, on my honor, to tell you where I placed them." "And where they still remain?" "For aught I have done to remove them?" "Good enough. Remember, though, that any treachery will cauee you to forfeit your life!" "I understand." "Take the young lady to her carriage, Hart, and tell the coachman to drive her home." "All right, this way, miss." Could our young friends have seen the look that passed between the two desperate men wno were plotting for a fortune, they would have placed no confidence in their promises. "Good-by," said Cole, extending hit hand. "Good-by," returned the girl, return ing the pressure of hie nana with a fervor that bespoke plainer than words her love and devotion. The situation of onr hero was desperate in the extreme, yet his heart beat joyfully ae he saw the fair girl disappear from the room. Not only had he secured her escape from perils greater than death itself but he knew now with what feelings she regarded him. "Now for your part," said Almon, imperatively. "Wait a moment." "For what?" Until your partner returns." "And why?""He may be detaining her outside." "Why eouldn't he deliver her to a confederate?" sneered Sears. "I'm not afraid of that. You're playing too desperate a game to have many confidants." The entrance of Bloom put a stop to the discussion. ".now, men, said tno younger villain, the bonds!" "I placed them in my right boot-leg." The two men sprang forward together, and in an instant the article in question was removed from the foot of the helpless prisoner. A howl of rage went up from the two desperate schemers when they fonnd the boot to be empty. "C4H?ed!" jjhoated. Bloom. "He shall die for it!" cried Sears, matching a revolver from the table and raising it threateningly. "Hold on," warned Bloom. "What now?" "Look at these." The burglar banded his accomplice two fragments of paper that he had picked up from the floor. "The corners of two of the bonds," eried the latter a moment later. "Then he'B told tho truth?" "Beyond a doubt!" ? * ? j at l AUU iiie UUUUB: "Wete prilled out and lost while we were drawing and c-arrying him about." "That's it.

"And the mur?I mean? "I understand. It will be blamed on ^Winters here, as we planned all the time. |The obloroforml" 1 "We'll make a sure thing of it this (time," said Bloom, as he handed the [other a bottle. :* cHoldonf What's the matter?" 1 This from Vihlnd them caused the two (to start aud nrrn in sadden at rm.

"Put him oat of the way." answei Sean, producing a handkerchief and : ;moTing the stopper from the bottle. "Don't do that!" The Bpeaker lurched forward and wa nigh knocked the bottle from the yon :man's hand. "What do you mean?" But there wa? no reply. At that I stant Martin Bloom dealt the reel] man a blow 'whioh brought him hea? to the floor. "Pool!" shouted Bears. : "I h&ve been, but I've dropped 1 role." ! As he spoke, Martin Bloom bent o< the prostrate form and snatched off a f false beard. i "Mat Hyland!" cried the young villa "The detective!" echoed our hero, tones of wildcat excitement. CHAPTER XI. BTXBBXNO EVENTS. It was, indeed, Mat Hyland, the det< tire. ; He had seen Morris leave the horn and had shadowed him to a drag st< :in the adjoining street. As the money-lender was retnrni after having secared the reBtorativ .Hyland had come upon him unawan and at once made him a prisoner. . Then from the nearest patrol-box had called a wagon and turned Mot over to the offioers in charge of it, te ing them to lock him np on general pri ciples and he would appear in the mox ling and lodge a substantial charge agaii 'him. : Then he had withdrawn to a place 'knew of in the neighborhood, where, {the aid of a case of cosmetics and a fal beard which he oarried with him, he st oeeded in so changing his appearance to readily pass for the money-lend* with whom he agreed generally as size and form. This done, be had swallowed a mout ful of brandy to impregnate his breal and, with the package of restoratives his hand, had bodl^ entered the midst vae enemies 01 iuw mw. He had speedily discovered that all 1 preconceived theories were entirely fall and that the young man he had been relentlessly pnrsaing was as guiltless himself. In an effort to save Cole Wi ten from what appeared to be impend!: death, he had been detected by Bloo: under whose powerful hand he had fall senseless to the floor. > We're just a little bit clever ourselvei laughed Bloom, as he took a pair of st( handcuff? from the pocket of the dete< 'ive and snapped them over his wrist "I'm not going to steal'em. I'll leave 'em your possession, or rather you in the ire "We won't quarrel about a technic point," put in Sears, "but what induci you to come here, Hylaud, disguised Max Morris?" "And disguised with liquor," added t burglar. . "My duty," rejoined Hyland, who h now regained his feet. "I'm sorry you took that view of il the younger*man proceeded. "I've knc\ you some little time, and always lit you, Mat. Your anxiety for promotii has led you into a position that h placed a duty?a sad and serious one on Mart Bloom and myself." " o ? v;n J.UU 1UOOU bV Alii AUOi "No, on po account. We muBt, ho^ ever, conceal, or, more exactly, seauestc you for a time. Our safety depends upi it, bo you really can't object, old man." There was a cruel sneer about tl speaker's mouth, and a cold, snaky glea in his eyes. The detective noted both, and realiz that they boded him no Rood. He was a shrewd man and an able d tective, who had run down many a da crime and brought the perpetrators justice. He had failed now and fallen into t] hands of his enemies, not from any pr fessional fault, but because humoni had induced him to come forward to tl relief of our imperiled hero. Cole Winters appreciated this, ai evidenced it by a loos of gratitude. "You have been fraDk with me,"ea Hyland, after a momentary pause, "and will be equally bo with you. "That's kind of you," remarked Bear with a bow. "I'm acting in my own interest. Ai move on your part to harm either Id Winters or myself will prove in the n tore of a boomerang." "How bo?" "Yon know me for a deteotive?" i "I've heard yon call yourself that, shouldn't h??ve thought so from anythii you've done in this cave." , "No pleasantry, please. As a detect!' I have taken every preoantion for n protection. I am in your power. Yc may kill me, but your escape is impo sible." -Why so?" "Because this honse is guarded by of] oars on every Bide." "That for you and your offloers." Almon Sears snapped his fingers, whi .Bloom laughed. "What do you mean?" 1 "That there are ways of killing a p "besides choking him with butter. V Dan quit this bouse when we please, ai your officers be none tne wiser." "Nonsense!" cried Hyland, though o .hero well knew from his manner, that t] bold stand of the villains had somewh disconcerted him. ' "Besides," Almou went on, speakii with preat deliberation, "what you say uuv uuo, "Is an officer likely to go, witho backing or support of any kind intc gang of armed and desperate murderers "In the firBt place we are not the b characters you represent, except Winte: there, who has turned traitor and stol the plunder; and again, you are a dete tire seeking promotion. : "Well?" ] "You had Cole Winters in your han this evening, and permitted him to t cape.

Alugh the space is large it was early dent that the live stock exhibit must representative rather than numerous my particular class. It is now cer1 that the number of animals in each ss may not exceed 2000, and within s limit will be included representative ck from all parts of the world. ill the great breeders of America, rope and Australia will have indiual exhibits.

Miss Taylor is by nature a traveler and by education an MX88 TATLOR IN THE ARCTIC RKGTON3. artist, and she is greatly interested ia natural history.

A Great Wool Country. New Zealand apparently has no limit to its wool-producing capacity. There are vast tracts of land that can scarcely be utilized for any other purpose than sheep runs, yet there is a great deal of land now used for sheep runs that could be profitably employed for agriculture. i The climate of New Zealand is admirably adapted for sheep and 'wool growing purposes, the average auuual increase in a breeding flock in fair condition being about seventy perccnt. Flocks of ilerino clip four pounds all around, and sometimes as high as five pounds. The natural vegetation of the country consists oJ -J forest, fern and grass.?American Agri- J culturist.
