/ TttEflYSTI A Florence V iAumor of-"The Mouse [Copyright, 1695, by lie CHAPTER V. Continued. "And my own friends," added the girl, with spirit, "would have been just as disgusted with ine for taking advantage of the passing l'auey of a man in your position to marry above my own rank in life." But to this Clifford answered with great composure: "You will marry above your own I rank, that is certain, whether you marry me or not. Beauty like yours has a rank of its own, to begin with. And for these wild hordes of relations of mine, the.v only exist in your Imagination. There is no one to prevent me doing as I like; and even if there were they might try, hut they wouldn't succeed." To this Nell made no answer. After a short silence Clifford spoke again: "Well, I'm going. I shall coihe again to-morrow, if not this eveniug, to pay my bill, and?" Nell raised her face with an angry flush. "You will not pay it," she said, quickly. "Do you think, when you have lost so much money in the house that we would allow you to?" "But that was not your fault nor your uncle's." Again the mysterious trouble that suggested at least a guilty halfknowledge appeared in the girl's eyes. Clifford turned away his head that he might not see it. "I think we ought to hear the responsibility," she said earnestly. "But I do not. Why should people who are absolutely good suiter for the faults of the absolutely bad?" Nell sighed. "Absolutely good! We are not that. At least I can answer for myself as to that." v-v "Who could contest the goodness of a girl who can risk her own health, perhaps even her life, to minister to a sick woman?" Nell flashed upon him a look of supreme contempt. "I don't do this because 1 nni cood. but because I am angry ami -worried," she said, glancing at the broom in her hand. "I could have seat soma one to sweep Mrs. Corbett's cottage; there are plenty of people about liere poor ^ enough to be glad to do it for a fow pence. I do It because I am miserable and want to make a martyr of myself!" Now Clifford liked her even better for this show of spirit tha.1 he had done for her courage. It removed her, he felt, out of the gray-faced ranks of sour women who go througn rounds of district-visiting as a duty oppressive to themselves and still more oppressive to the -.unfortunate people they visit. "There," ended Nell, with one last deiiant, flourishing sweep of tho broom as she returned to the door, "now you do really know me better than you thought!" "And like you bettor, tool" cried Clifford a louder voice, as she djsap peared through the doorway. CHAPTER VI. For some distance on the road to Stroan the delicious glow cast upon him by this stimulating conversation ] lasted and made Clifford as happy as , a bird. . But -when the irregular outline of ] the old-fashioned town grew more de- , fined under the September sky, and the meeting with Jordan and Cony- , beare grew nearer he had to concern himself with the manner in which he should get out of the difficulties -which his stay under the roof of the Blue Lion had brought upon him. What had they heard and what what would they believe? He had not to ask himself these ' questions long, for before he reached *iie town he came upon Jordan with an easel, a sketch-book and a pipe, and ' Conybeare with a stnpful of books and a white umbrella. ' Their demeanor was not kindly to- , ward the errant Clifford. A garbled ' version of the story of the robbery 1 had, indeed, reached them already, and they had both made up their minds ' that Nell was the thief. Willie Jordan, ] of course, was the more inclined to . this view from bis resentment at hav- 1 ins been "cut out" by Clifford, who, on his side, was reticent aud entirely si- | lent on the subject of the sudden infatuation which bad led him to propose marriage to the girl. Very soon the subject of the Blue Lion and its inhabitants was tacitly tabooed among the friends, and it was not until ten days later that any of them found their way to the little inn by the shore. When they did so, nowever, they were disappointed in the object of their visit. Nell was never to be seen, and not one of the three younp: men ever dared to ask for her, as George Claris, looking upon them apparently as fellow-conspirators against tbe fair fame of his house, was curt to the verge of rudeness to them all. Now this invisibility on the part of Nell, far from cooling Clifford's quick ly sprung-up pussiou, serveu ulii.v iu inflame it further. But it was iu vain be wrote?in vain he hung about the neighborhood. Although on two or three occasions he caught sicrlit of licr. she always disappeared before hv could come near. The ?ast day of the stay of the three friends arrived, and they made one despairing attempt to bid her good-by. Clifford had preserved his reticence concerning the girl, but the other two more than suspected him. Willie had saftened in his views of the mysterious affair, and it was now only Cony- I beare who persisted in a harsh judg- \ mcnt of the innkeeper's niece. She was just the sort of girl, he said. ! to attract young fools and make thenj j lose their wits and their money. He. however, was as anxious for a fare | I zRT-OF-THe |i &rder\?l,,,, ' on ftic Harsh*" cTcj >bert Bonner's Sons.] j well peep at the mysterious beauty as i liis companions. This time they were fortunate. When i they had gone past the inn. they ; caught sight of the pretty figure whom j they all had in their thoughts, and i they all pretended to view it with indifference. Willie was the first to break i down in this assumption. "There she is!" he said, in quite a i tremulous voice. "It's no use pre- .< tending we don't see lier. Do you think she'll ruu away if we get over 1 the fenceV" j Clifford had already made the oxperi- < ment. To the great relief of the whole < party, Nell turned slowly and waited 1 for their approach without a smile, with, indeed, a sort of quiet defiance. ( "I suppose," she said to Clifford, as 1 soon as he came up, "you have come 1 to say good-by, you and your friends, ' before you go back to town?" She had remembered the date he had 1 given her for that event, then. Thin 1 was a ray of consolation, but she < gave him no other. She was cold, re- 1 served, almost hard. He felt so an- 1 gry with her for her contemptuous dis- 1 regard of his feelings that he thought 1 for the moment that his passion was 5 extinguished by it. However, she un- ' bent so far as to invite them all in to ?' tea, and the three young men were < much puzzled as to which of them it 1 was who had procured them this fav- 1 or. Conybeare seemed to be, on the s whole, the one to whom she talked * the most; Clifford was, without any 1 doubt, the one of whom she took the < least notice. 1 The meal, on the whole, was a pleasant one, although Claris himself \ was more taciturn than he had been 1 on that unlucky day when he and Nell ( and Clifford had spent guch a merry i 1 1Ui1A + ' nuur iu iut; nun: oilliu^-1 uutu. Now the weather had changed; the * autumn winds were whistling about * the little inn, and the blue sea had * become a dark-gray line, flecked with 1 white crests. There was a fire in the 1 little grate, and It was when Otto Conybeare moved quickly forward to 1 poke it for Nell that the incident occurred which was to throw a shadow * over the meeting. In passing a side-table upon which c Btood a wicker work-basket, Otto ? dragged the cloth off, and brought the ^ basket and all the rest of the things ? on the table -with a crash to the floor. 1 Willie, who was near him, went down on his knees with apologies for Otto's 1 clumsiness. ] "He thinks it's manly, you know, to 1 show a contemptuous indifference to such feminine trifles. A sure sign of * genius, you know. Miss Claris, and 1 you must excuse it, as it's the only, sign he's got. Oh, and just look at ? the pretty things he's been trampling ' under his great intellectual feet!" 3 And Willie held ud to the astonished 1 gaze of the rest a glittering jewel * which sparkled in the firelight. For a moment there was an oppressive silence. Then Nell, pale and agi- F tated, snatched it from him with tin- r gers so unsteady that the trinket fell s to the floor again. It was Clifford whc J picked it up this tlm? and gave it tc * I he girl without a word. Nell would * liave put it back into her basket, but f George Claris, on whom the appalled i silence of the young men had not been lost, told his niece in a rough tone to give it to him. T "What is the thing?" he asked, i sharply. a "Only one of a pair of old-fashioned 11 earrings, uncle," answered Nell, with amotion, which no efforts on her part j' eould hide. 41 "Earrings! I didn't know you had my! Where did you get them? Who f ?ave them to you?" For one moment the clrl fenced with 11 Iiirn, trying to treat the matter lightly, ( us she got upon a chair and placed the (1 work-basket at the top of the high 0 r-upboard by the fireplace. But George e Claris was not a man to be trifled with. Seizing the girl by the shoulder so roughly that he almost dragged her to the ground, ho tore the work basket u out of her hands, flung back the lid. ( and turned out the Contents upon the j (able, the chairs, anywhere, until b< 1( bad found both the earrings. a Then he held them up to the light v critically; then he looked at Nell with t a puzzled frown. a 'Who gave 'em to you?" he asked j, sharply. j The young men, trying to hide their l interest in her answer by talking 1; among themselves, yet listened eager- \ ly. She blushed, stammered, then t turned white as she said: a "The colonel gave them to me? j Colonel Bostal. At least, he and Miss r Theodora." George Claris rubbed one of the ear t lings on his sleeve, and then rather I quickly thrust them both out of sight 1 under a little pile of old papers and d ujagazines which had been replaced r upon the side-table. 0 "Well, I don't know what folks want c spending money on jew'lry for, when T you can get just as good to look at for * next to nothing. And next to nothing I must be the vally ef anything as Miss Theodora gives away," he added, with a rather forced attempt at jocularity. Clifford, who was much perturbed liy this incident, on account ol' the const ruction his two friends were sure ti. put upon it, made haste to turn the ' talk into another channel. He knew that he had not heard the last of it. ( And he was Dot surprised to see Otto. c :;t a later period of the evening, when c the rest were in the garden, draw the * earrings from the place where they had been put, and examine them carefully by the light of the lamp. While Clifford lingered behind for a \ few last words with Nell, the (ither s two. having taken their leave, walked cn together. Willie spoke first ruffiuc at the t lipe he had just lit, he glanced up a 3tto. "Well, and -what is your opinioD o >ur fair friend now?" he asked. "My opinion is that she is a thief ind a very daring, if not a very skill rul one. Those earrings were pearl ind rubies, real ones, very old-fasL ioned, but worth something.'' " A n/1 va? lliinlr t]im> mnr linv. beoii given to her?" "My dear fellow, look at the storj Is there anything to blush about ii llie fact of receiving a present fron in old man and his old daughter?

But would the; ;ive the:n away? The old man rniglu infatuated with her preny face, bu 30t the starchy, elderly-young lady. "You had better not tell Clifion what you think." "I don't mean to.

Aui sve shall say no more than lie uoes And, of course, if he asks me in; opinion about the earrings, 1 shall sa; Lbcy were worthless. See?" Willie nodded. He no longer bor Clifford malice for cutting him out; h vas only too thankful that he had bee; niiuself saved from a deep tumble int :lie same pitfall. It was about a fortnight after th eturn to town of the three friend hat there drove up to the Blue Lion 'ne bitter evening, a hired dog-car rom Stroan, in which sat a gentlemai tvlio lold the landlord that he was oi I he way to Courtstairs, but that h ound the weather too severe, an< diould be glad to put up at the ini intil the following morning.

She was passing thiough the passag< >n her way upstairs, and she appearei it the door of the room for an instan rnly, to give a message to her uncle \s she stood there, the young rnai nnV rr?nncinn fn ir>ontlnn Ihof mne ry to push on to-morrow, as he wai carrying property of some value for i irm in whose employment be was vhich was expected by another firm t< vhom he was commissioned. And he noticed that, as he said this he girl's bright color left her cheeks. "Why don't you push on to-night heu?" she said, brusquely, advancinj i step into the room and fixing he >yeg earnestly upon him. "The weath tr may be worse to-morrow, and 1 'ou are afraid of a little wind, yoi ihould have gone by rail, and not ty oad." The young man rose politely, am ooked at her curiously -is she spoke 3ut before he had had time to utter i ;.ord in answer, her uncle dismisse< jer from the room with a by no mean: jentle reminder that it was no busi less of hers. The visitor, in spite of the import tnce of his commission, seemed to b< n no great hurry to push on with hii ourney; for on the following day, ai ,he wind was still cold, and the sk] till gloomy, he remained at the Blu< -(ion. George Claris had a shrewd sus licion that it was the blue eyes of hii retty niece which made the strangei o dilatory, and lie took care that tin jirl should be invisible throughout th< vhole of tlie day. As he had expected he young man grew evidently uneasy nd presently found occasion to as! f the young lady had left the house. "No," answered George, shortly, "sh< s in the house right enough, but yoi von't see no more of her. My niec< s a lady, sir, for. all she is my niece nd she don't 'ave nothin' to do witl ay business." The young man, rather to the laud ord's surprise, appeared entirely sat sfied with this explanation. Indeed, he had every reason to bo so or he was a friend of Otto Cony leare's, whom that young gentlemar lad sent down to do a little amateui etoctivo work in the supposed interesi il' Clifford King, but without, ol our.se, informing Clifford of his ben volent intention.

These last menj tioned ventures, though rather promising, have not been attended with any e marked success. Still, the vast ma1 I loritv of those who fly kites do so for t recreation and not for purposes of re>. 6earch. a At the shops one can Kfind a great t variety of kites.

Inasmuch J as h is common to fly several at once. 7 tandem, and as there is more or less loss from breakage sooner or later, I one naturally wishes to have any?. where from two to a dozen, and if i that number were purchased ready 1 made the cost would not be trifling. 5 For the Eddy kite two sticks are - required, one upright ajid the other crossing it at right angles, one-fifth of the way from the top. The propor2 tion is eighteen per cent, to be exact. * Straight grain white pine or spruce 5 is the best wood, and for a kite three [ or four feet high the sticks should behalf an inch wide, and a quarter of an inch thick. At the intersection the sticks should be fastened together ' with brads or twine. The ends being l" suitably notched, twine or fine wire J should be tightly stretched around ; them. ' Before this stage of construction is ' reached certain other measures must be taken, in order to give the kite a , slightly bulging front. The cross stick ' should be bent backward like an 4 archer's bow, and the curvature preserved by a string from end to end.

' A bridle for flying is made by tying onestring to the liottom of the upright slick and another to the intersection of the two, their lengths being such that the upper end will go out at ri^ht angles from the face of the kite. The bridle terminates in a loop, and the kite string is tied to the latter. Hargrave, an Australian, is credited v/ith originating the cellular or box kite.

The Distrlct Attorney then suggested that, inasmuch as the defendant refused to ,i: answer, counsel should be assigned. 1 Judge Emery assigned the Hon. Loran L. Lewis and the Hon. Robert C. C Titus, former Supreme Court Justices it of this city, whose names had been suggested by the Erie County Bar Association. District Attorney Penney presented . the evidence in the murder case to the Grand Jury from 10 o'clock in the * morning until a few minutes past 4 ; o'clock in the afternoon. Aside from the surgeons and physi- ^ ciaus in the case, no witnesses were ^ sworn other than those who were in E the Temple of Music and witnessed the shooting. P At 4.15 o'clock, just exactly ten days L after the shooting, the Grand Jury voted unanimously to indict Czolgosz a for murder iu the first degree. At 4.41 3 o'clock the secret indictment was presented to Judge PJmery, in the County p Court. tl After the indictment was reported, j, the prisoner was driven from the peni- a tentiary, a mile from the City Hall, to the jail across the street from the , hall.
