Ilia drat thought, tho moment ho was eafo beyond tho lashing wators, was of his friond. Ho ran his oyo up nud down tho boaoh. Ho could seo no ono, and no rc s.iooso oamo to his call. It had been a fmrtul night from li rat to last, omi os tho detective supposed, had olosed io a still moro fearful manner. Suddenly bis strain, ing eyes restod upon on object rising upon tho crest of a WQVO. Io tho dim twilight ho was enabled to discern that it was a human turin. It was almost certain death to ven turo oiioo moro amidst the breakers, yet tho detective did not hesitate a moment, but dashed amidst the boiling waters. Man fully ho breasted tho lashing waves, whoo suddenly tho floating body was dashed against him with groat foroo. Tho bravo man seized tho form of his friend, and with tho strength and endurance of a Newfound land dog, beaded once moro for thc ahora. Fortuno favored Iii in, and ho speedily emerged from tho waters a second limo, bearing tho body with him. Waltoo tSpraguo had often saved drowning people, nud ho knew exactly what to do under thc circumstances. Ho laid tho body upon tho beach, and toariug owoy tho wet clothing, plaocd his band over bis boort. The heurt still boat. Lifo, precious lifo, was there but tito mouth was tightly closed. Thc truth flushed upou his mind, that it was not n onsc of drowning, but of exhaustion. Thrusting his hand in Ilia dripping pockets, . ho drew forth a braudy flask, and forcing Prank Midgcly's lips open, poured some of tho liquor down bis thront. Thoro was a movement. Walton Spruguc continued hie exertions, and Iiis patient opened his eyes and sighed. A short timo elapsed and Frank was fully restored. "1 owe my lifo to you, bravo man," ho said. "Uah! don't mention such things just now, my boy-but 1 tell you what wo must do; dry our clothes oud get away froui hero." '.It has boon a night of fearful adven tures!" sighed Frank. "Well, wo have como through them all right, and wc must not bo discourged now!" exclaimed tho detective, iu a cheerful tone. Tho officer selected a spot in a hollow between rising sund bonks. Ho found plenty of dry driftwood, and having matches which had been preserved iu a wutcr tight metal matoh box, ho soon succeeded in hav ing a cruokling blazing fire. .'Wo will htivc crumpled clothes, but dry ones lo go home in," said bc in a lively tone. Tho officer was an old hand at making the best of circumstances, oud ho set about treading thc beach for soft shell clams. Ho was amply rewarded; and having Bccurcd a me&s, ho roasted thom, in tho embers, and tho two men indulged iu a hearty and nour ishing breakfast while waiting for their clothes to dry. Daylight ot length began to break. Thc ruin hud ccosed to full DD hour before, and tho prospect of n fine day was encouraging. At length in mussed, but dry clothes, and with full stomachs, thu two men started for homo. They speedily discovered that they had landed some five miles from thc point whero tho tcrriblo double duel had taken place. Ho knew tho placo well, and tho several routes leading from it. Ho choso tho road leading to Fort Hamilton. They reached Fort Ham ilton in time to take tho first cor for the city. Few of those hastening to tho city to their daily labors, dreamed through what adventures their two fellow passengers had passed. When they reached thc city, they separated, promising to meet again later in tho day. Frank Midgoly went straight to his lietel, and to his bcd. Karly in thc afternoon, ho arose and descended to thc ronding room to await thc coming of his friend. Ho had just seated himself when his glance fell upon a slender form, which appeared familiar., Tho stranger was sit ting with his baok toward our hero. Frank's face was pale, and his heart beat wildly as ho moved around to look nt tho stranger's faco. Ono glance was sufficient. Ho was gazing upon tho faca and form of tho mys terious Hutotid. Tho latter looked ut our hero in u cold, stoney manner, us though be had novcr seen him before Frank did not speak, but went to his own apartment. "Heavens!" was bis ejaculation, "um 1 battling with n shadow? Some unreal being from tho lower depths?" While still thinking npon tho subject, ho was aroused by tho entrance of his friend, tho detective. Tho latter nt onoo observed tho agonized look upon Frank'? faco, and oxolaimcd in on anxious tone: "You aro sick?'' "No, I am not." "Something is tho ranttor willi you?" "Yes, something is tho mnttor with mo." "Hang mc, Frank, if you don't look li?o n man who has seen a clio?t?" "/ have seen a ghost!" Wolton Sprnguo laughed and enid: "Whose ghost havo you econ-Monsieur lin mud's!" "Yes." . "Dali! my boy, all this exoitcment in your woak stato has unsettled your mind; Monsieur llamud is where oil secret assas sins ought to bo-at tho bottom of tho At lantiol" "I seen him less than ten minutes ago!" "In this room, I supposo!" laughed tho dotcolivo. "No, not in this room, but in tho building, down in tho reading room." "Well, what was his ghostship doing?" "Sitting thoro as coolly os bo did tho first timo tliat 1 over auw him." "Ha! ba! hal" laughed Walton Sproguo. Tho detective really feared (hat tho young ?nan's mind wus affected, and ho tried to laugh him out of bia delusion. "You moy laugh," ?aid Frank, "but roy mind is as clear ond sound os over it was, and I saw that man, Hamud." "No, no, Frank, tho day has not como for tho sea to givo up its doad; you havo boon dreaming!" "Como down stairs with mo and 1 will show you whether 1 havo boon dreaming or not." Walton Sproguo hesitated a moment, but thinking that it might bo beat to humo< Frank, and knowing that tho (.-host would not bo found, bo followed his iriond down stairs. CHAPTER X. A VISIT IN DI80UISB. Frank did nut oct like a person who had lost bis mind, or who was sating under tho ?iressuro of a delusion. Ho woe calm tn ook and manner, but positivo in bis state ment. Tho two mon cutered the reading room. Fr uk lcd thc way directly to the cha r whero tho mysterious Hamud had been sitting. Tho ch tir was vaoant. ..Ho has gone?" ho stfid. "Yes," whispered Wal oo Spraguo; "I knew ho would bo geno, becnuso ho was not sit iug there." Frank did not 6C0 fit to nrguo the quos tion further, and tho subject was changed by a strange remark which fell from tho do? tootiv 'H lips. Tho latter said: "I wish this matter wis wholly settled; and I would mako an effort to bo reinstated to my old position." "Whioh old position?" "My position on tho polico force" "Arc you not on tho foroe?" "No." "Why, how is that?" "I resigned." "When?" "Day before yesterday." An idea flashed over our hero's niiud and he nsked: "How di you como to resign?" "Aa a matter of honor " "Because as on ofliccr you could not aot ai my friend in last night's adventure?" exclaimed FM ok. "Yea." "And you mode this socrifioe for me?" Wallon Sproguo colored as ho said: "Do not say that, 1 acted as I did of my own freo w ll." "I am rich," said Frank. "I am glad of it for your owu sako It's a pleasaut thing to bo rich." "I am rich enough to biro you to enter my service," continued Krank; "and I ouu afford to pay you just double tho salary you received from thc oity." "I do not eco what employment you oould bavo for mo." "I hove, as a detective." "My dear sir, your enemy lies nt tho bot tom of ibo sen; tho mystery which you would unravel is bidden in that shotted sack. I hero is nothing left for mo to do in your behalf. 1 speak from experience." "My shadow liko enemy still wolks abroad! 1 saw him this morning! What over tho mystery was, it is greater now. I owe my lifo to you; you aro a bravo ma , and have proved that you oro to bo trusted; you must cuter iny service, and os fur as money is concerned, I can moko you rioh and still bc a millionaire; in fact, J. have a service for you to perform for mo a* once." "Wc will talk about my entering your service at another time; for the pres nt let mc serve you os a friend, and you muy com mond mo just as freely as though I wero in your pay.'' '.You sha 1 bo munificently reworded whether you wish it or not; und now then to present business. You have tho entree to Mr. Pulmcdo'a house us r. detective?" "I have." "Frankly, I love Lucy Pulmcdo, and I am determined to murry ber; she thinks that lam out of town, and lin) thought so ever sinco thc day I wus wounded." "She does not i uow that you were wounded?" "She does not, nor must she know." "You wish mc to communicate with her for you " "I do." "I um nt your service." "I must visit, her hi uso in disguise; I dare nut usk ber to meet mc, when J know that ihnt shudow assassin ?8 inking around like an invisible monster of evil." "You wish mc to prcpuro her for vour visit." "Yes." Tho day following thc conversation above described, a coupe stopped in front of tho palatial residence of thc millionaire, Mr. Pal mcdo. A fashionably d) cased lady alighted, as cended tho stoop, and when thc ser vant appeared, lu answer to her sum mons, entered, sending n oord to Miss Lucy. Tho visitor, who was vailed, was shown into a parlor, and a few momenta later Lucy Pulmcdo mitered. The young Indy rushed forward, ber lovely taco coveied with blushes, and exclaimed, os shu ex tended her hand cordially to tito Indy visitor: "Ah! Frank, you bold, naughty boy! How could you resort to such it dangerous ruso to soe me?" "Darling, circumstances mado it nco s snry, and those circumstances concern your self more limn mc, ns 1 would have come openly lind I consulted my own inclina tions." "Frank! oh, I am so glad to eeo you! But you must never adopt this courso to gain my presence," "Buoy, do you lovo mc?" Tho girl bung her hoad, whita blushes oovered her face und ncok "Oh, Frank, ?ho said, nt length, "1 bavo once confessed that I loved you." "Is yoma a mere passing fancy, dear girl, or do you really, truly love mo, so that onco having loved mo you will lovo mo al ways?" "Why do you seek an answer to your question in such a stvange, cager manner/"' "I vi ill tell you why, darling. This game of secrecy must bo ubandoncd. I must seek you from your father oponly; my life is now oontorcd in your life; if wo love these oro reasons why wo should marry-or, at least, why I should bc permitted to woo you openly; you have nlwaya kept mo from speaking to your father; you bound me by a sacred promise never to do so without your consent; you must release me (rom that prom ise now." "Oh, Frank, why hov you como to de mand this?" oxoluimod Luoy,in a trembling tono. CHAPTER IX. THE GHOST SEEN BY ANOTHER. Frank Midgcly was a bold, manly follow Ho W?SSO orphan possesed of million?, whioh had bcoD turned over into his possession upon his arriving at tho ago of twenty-one. Ho was a romantic sort of a chap, or rather had been, and had always professed that-ho would never morry. Whoo ho- met ' Limy Palmado nil tho bachelor notions wero dis pelled. Ho had tallen violuntly io lovo MBSBBttfiBB B?B I:'" "* ' - ' ' . , :_ with tho bo itiful girl nt Brat flight; and lip to tho prisent timo their (ovo had been in dulged io seora, only owing to huey's fear of nor father, who had declared thai sbo should never marry. Mr l'ai ni cd o's daugh tor, being but a moro child, lived io perfect awe of her striiugo, eccentric parent, and tho idea of his knowing that sho hud dared to full in love nod oncourago tho lovo of another, without Iiis knowledge, wos to her tho most serious offonco under tho sun. Whon sho asked our boro why ho had como to demand his rclcnso from bis prom ise oot to approach her lather, he said: ..Wo ore doing wron?; thcro is but ono way, and that is tho straight forward ono.1' ..But my father will bo eo angry." "Thcro is no reason why he should. I aro his equal socially. I am not a fortuno hunter, ns I am satisfied that I um u richer man than your rich parent. Ile must con sent to our wedding!" ?Frank, it ia not a question of wealth with him,it is a strungo idea thut ho has" ..Ho must get rid of his ideu. I lovo you, and I will marry you unless you tell mo that you huvo oeused to love mo. '.Suppose I should toll you so now, Frank?" ..Dorling, your eyes must bear witness to your declaration beforo I ''un believe you." Wo will not dwell upon tho onvcrstition whioh followed. Frunk waxed eloquent and hi<< pleadings finally prevailed, end he won huey's consent for him to speak to her futhcr Our hero hod kept his word faith fully. Ho lind not compromised huey io any way during tho months that she had hold him to bis promise; although nil thc limo he would huvo preferred to have sought her boldly. Ho hud met Mr. Puluocdo several times, but tho hitter hid never hud the least sus pioioua as to how mutters stood between tho young mun and his daughter. Frank bud Gually concluded his business, and wus about to take hip dopurturo when Lucy caused him tu givo a sturt upon exclaiming: .'Ohl Frank, 1 hud such a fright y ester doy!" This remark caused our hero to rcseut himself, although ho feared being ouught in tho strange disguise whioh he hud adopted. "What happened?" he asked eagerly. "You know that mun with thc strange o\es whom wc met thc last time you and I were walking together?" With trembling lips Frunk answered: "Yes. I remember. .'Well, I saw him again today, and ns true Od I am alive I believe thut fellow was following mc." FriTnk's face assumed a deathly hue us he Faid: "Ol?! Lucy you must not go out alone noy more; and this is another reason why 1 must soc your father ot once." '.I have something to tell you, Frank " ..What is it. darling?" Lucy proceeded to tell of tho adventure ivith the strange assassin, who had gained iccess to her room. Frunk. ns our leader? tnow, lind heard tho story, but ho did not et his betrothed k now that ho had. When die had concludoJ ber redial ho said in un ndiffercnt manner: "Oh! it was a common burglar who cs ?oped by some trick! But tell mc, dnr)i?p ?hut kind of ti looking mon is this fellow ivith thc pcculinr eyes?" "He looks liko on Arab," i DSweied huey ind she proceeded und did just wita I [frunk thought she would do-gnvo an nc mrate description of the Hamnd. Om ?ero did not sec Ot to tell Lucy of tho woo lorful adventures which hud befallen hi in tel f, but morely warned her; in fact, madi 1er promise that sim would not go into th' Itrert again, until she had ut least hear lircotly from him. Frank returned dircctl' 0 his hotel, enteric by the private entrann ic soiiL'ht his own room, anxious to chang lis false attire. He found W lion Sprain 1 waiting him. Our hero's face expressc< neat excitement, nod the dntcotivo ex ttaimcd: ..Il'i! my friend, sumo liing extru.?dinar ins happened ugtiiti. Have you seen (ii (hosi once morer" "No, t have not; it is worse than that uW|iat do you mean?" "Some ono else has?cen tho ghost!" "Who?" "Luov Palmedo." "When?" "This very morning." "Impossible!" "Go mid sec h?r, her thc story from lu ?wu lips, hir do rod let lu-r know that yi lave li ca ni anything from oie; just go iii nako inquiries in your unpucity us detect!' n the mutter." "I will go at onocl" exclaimed tho dote ive, and ho left the room lu about two hours Walton Spruguc r urned. It was thu detective's turn to ci libit coiibidcrablo cx"itcmcnt. "Well?" uskod Frunk. "Frank, this is tho strongest thing I cv leard of in my lifo." '.You nro satisfied now that I BOW tl rhosl?" "I am satisfied thut this is tho groote nystery I ever encountered in my lifo." "You are satisfied now that I need yo lervioes us M dotc?livo?" "I will stick to you through thick ni hill to tho death!" exclaimed tho manly d eclivo, extending his bund to our hero. "II-JVC you formed a theory as to the si ut ion of this wonderful mystery?" "1 havo " "What is it?" '.I cannot tell you now; but ono thii emcmbcr, you mus? bc on your guard eve noinont of your lifo You uro surround ty ussusins!" '.I believe I nm!" "Grout henvens! what cnn their nioti io os it is evident that they wish to destr wo lives." "And those lives arc-" "Yours und Lucy Pulmodo's," answer he detective "Did you warn her not to go out?" "1 warned her on her life, and you. wc must not lose sight of you; you must let i onie hero und room with you, ibero may b< ozon of tiloso dnrkfuced murderers lurkii round tho very hulls of this house" "If I meet this llamud again whut sh do?" "Wntoh him, and avoid bim." "Shall I not spouk to him?" "Not on your life!" "It might help to solvo tho mystei OOuld ask him Homo very, perthtont qOO ions" "You must not speak to him on any a on nt whatever. If there is any speaking be dono let me do it." Tho next day Pro o I? Midgely set out to call upou Mr Pulmedo. Ho wai shown into that uugust tnuu's prcfenoo. Tho rich buuk or recognized bim ot onco und extended a cordial greeting. "I havo como to seo you on very impor tant business," said Frank, directly advano iog toward tho subject which had led him to scok tho iutcrvicw. "Indeed!" said tho banker, adding: "I will be glad to bc of any scrvioo to you." "I havo ' como to ask your daughter's hand in matriogo," said t'rauk, abruptly. if our hero had drawn a pistol and sud* denly presented it nt tho banker's hoad, thc bitter could not hnvo shown mor?os, tonishment, nor exhibited, as it seemed, greater signs of terror. For o full moment not a word was spoken. Mr. Pulmedo glared at Frank ns though tho youth had mnde some fearful disclosure At length Lucy s father managed to cjooulato: "Young mau, how doro you come to mo with any such audacious proposal'/" Frnok was prepared'for such reception, and os he was un audaciously cool follow in some mutters, bo answered in a pcrfcotly nntural mariner: " Who should J go to, sir?"
