If Frank s ouswor was a cool ono, it at loast bad tito merit of embody inp; conside raba direct common sonso, and Mr. Polmo do was forced to roply. "Well, I will admit that you would havo to come to mo, if to any ono, on Buoh a eubjoot; but bow do you know I want any ono to marry my daughter?" "It's tho daughter who generally wishes to marry, end the father morely has to give hts consent." "Does my doughtor wish to marry?" VYos,ai>." ''Whom?" "My humblo self, sir." "Indeed!" ?J Freak, said nothing to this meaningless exclamation, t-i < "Jiu? my daughtor intimated to you that eho wishes to become your wife?" ? : "Yes*Mt;**; "H's^Blrnngo that she should havo oon Hultcd with you about the mutter, and not Haid anything to me." "lt is my placo to come to you, sir, aod I luff? como with her knowledge." "And my child hos gone and fallen io love with a young scapegrace Uko you, after all, and has not deigned to say anything to ino about it." *She is saying something about it now, . shy through mo." "May" I nBk you whore you met my daughtor often enough to ongngo her nffoo tiousr" i f.'I root her last sommer, sir, at tho hotel . wherd you woro boarding." " . "Yottr meetings must have been clandes tine?" "They were." . "And you have tho audacity to admit Buoh a foot?" "Well, sir, having indulged in a littlo innocent deception, I havo como to tho conclusion to bc over frank to atone foi it." ,r "I must say that you aro remarkably frank." "I wish to bo/' "You psk to marry my daughter, nnd I know nothing about you, sir; in fact you aro " hut a casual acquaintance, 1 mny say." "My demand for your daughter's hand gives you tho right, sir, to muko inquiries concerning, mc." '?I sunfioso you aro like most young mon, respectable hut poor; ambitious otid hopeful, nod above al), dead in love." '"tam tho latter, sir, surely." "I don't doubt it," said Mr. Pulmcdo, in n sarcastic tono, adding: "It is not strange that you should bo dcod in lovo with my daughter whon you know that sho is to in herit h largo fortune" "About how largo a fortuno will sho in > nor?,'air?'1 nskod Prank, with tho utmost coolness. Tho banker was dumbfounded at what he considered tho coolest impudenoo ho hud ever listened to. "You osk that question in ns business like a manner as though I had already given my consent, and wo woro settling upon terms." "I havo a motivo in asking such a ques tion, and it is a good one/' "Very good, I should judgo from your stand-point." "Yes, sir, but you have not answorcd my question." Mr. Palmodo was o purso-proud man, who took great pride in his immenso fortune, and ho expected to seo tho young roan's oyes dilato with astonishment at thc an nouncement of his daughter's probable fortuno. "My daughtor will inherit at least t million and a half," said tho banker smaoking his lips aftor tho fashion of mil lionaires. Frank did not start, nor did his oyct dilsto, but ho answered in &n iodiffereoi manner: "But my wife's shoro of my fortunt wonfd bo about two millions and a half, a loast." Upon heaving this extraordinary state ment, Mr. Palmodo's oyes dilated, and lu actually leaped from his chair in astonish ment. Tho next momont, howover, the an nounooraont struok him ns too incredible foi belief, and ho said: "Young man, you aro very bold to jok< with roe io this manner." "I am not joking, sir. I havo told yoi the oxaot truth. Tho girl who marries m< will receive half roy fortuno, and I am pretty ocrtain that ono half will amount to tlu sum namotl; so you soo, sir, though you should conclude to out your daughter of with a shilling, wc should not suffer muol -and you will further loam that I am re spectable, and not poor, but pretty comfort ? bio ns tho world goes, with no spooial in duoomont to booomo a fortune hunter." Tho banker was doterminod not to b fooled nor modo a sport of, nnd, in a mos decisive man nor nnd lone, said: "You onnnot marry my daughtor, m youog friend, and I will oxeuso your furthc presence'' A flush of anger mantlod our hero ?hook. Ho had novor been treated in sue a cavalier monnor beforo, and ho tundo u his mind to resent it upon this occasion, j "You had bettor consider my propositio ..boforo you dismiss roo thus summarily." "I trust that nono but a gentleman woul over presume to seek my daughter's han in marriage," said tho banker, in a frecen tone. "I am n gentleman!" "Thon, if you aro, you will not forco yoi prcsenco upon mo. I havo given you t ' answer, und J have plainly intimated th t your presence, wns au annoyance." "Under ordinary circumstances I wou not bo told tho second time, but there n important matters I wish to speak to yt i nbout, malters which concern you nod yoi daughtor, outsido of my interest in tl lattor." "I am perfectly cnpablo of attending I lill tho interest;: of myself and daughter "But your ohild's lifo is in danger!" I Tho banker's faoo beenmo black ns fluider oloud, as,in an angry tone, ho 03 . 'od: tnctr. yott <?atQ {o tliroaton mc, ch?" mouifcb ca two of: . "I do Dot, but X wish you (o liston to what I hnvo to tell you." '.'If you do uot loavo my ofllco, sir, I ehnll summon my porter to eject you!" This last threat was more than our hero could stand, and, seizing his hat from tho tablo whoro ho had plaocd it, ho said: "I hope you may nevor rogrot your obstinato 00000011'' and took his departure. Mr. Pal m odo was a very violent man, aud subject to Budden aud detormiood dislikes. Ho had oonooived a violent disliko for our hero, which boded uo good to tho lattor's futuro hopes of winning a consent to his marriage. The father had become sudden ly possosscd of a suspicion that ho had boen grossly deceived. That night wheo he re turned homo ho had a loug talk with his daughter. The latter frankly told him concerning all that had passed between her and Krank. Mr. Polmcdowas not appeased by this open oonfessioo. He ha j oonooived a violent prejudico, und he positively forbade his daughter over mooting her lover again'. That night when Lucy sought her couch it was with a heavy heart. Tho father re mained scated iu his library after tho inter viow far into tho night. One thought dwolt uppermost io his mind, and that wa? a romembranao of our hero's remark: "Your daughter's lifo is ID danger!" Tho father looked upoo tho hts lenient as conveying ? threat. Mr. Palmedo was just about to retiro to his own room when he was horror stricken by hearing piercing oorontus. CHAPTER XIII, TUB SHADOW A88A88IN OVKll nl8 VICTIM. When Lucy Pal modo had sought' her room it was with a Arra determination to obey her father's command. She loved Frank devotedly, but had boon educated to hold a rare rcspeot for filial duty. She. did not despair of ever seeing Prank ogaia, but she resolved not to do so utitil hor strange paroot lind retentad. She had been in bod long enough to fall nslocp.' when sho was suddenly awoke hy a strange feeling, for which sho could never after satisfactorily aooount. Upon opening lier eyes o strange and fearful sight mot hor gnzo. Tho gas hud been turned half on, and by its light sho saw a terrible looking being standing over her. Tho object hold in his hand a a poniard, and tho gleaming wcapou was raised in tho air, tho point aimed directly over her fair bosom. Lucy would have scrosmcd but could not There she lay helpless and speechless, while tho strange, fierce, gleaming oyos of the assassin wero fixed upon her. It was evident that sho had openod her nyes just as the murderor was about to atriko tho fatal blow. The agony of her eyes had stayed his hand, lt was a terrible moment. Luoy's thoughts were paralyzed; but what strange thoughts wero passing through tho ossossiu's brain none could toll. Ono thing was certain-ho did not strike, but stood (hero with his knife raised, gnzing as though with his terrible look ho would charm his victim to uncon sciousness. At that moment a 6fratohiug noise was heard at the room door. Although Lucy oould not spoak, her senses wero keenly alive, She know that a friend was ooar, and every moment expected to hear au alarm given which would bring her father to hor rcsouo. Sho was not disap pointed. A shrill bark broke the stillness. Tho sound broko tho spell whioh had hold Lucy specohlcss, and tho barks of tho dog wero instantly drownod by her own piercing shrieks. Tho strango figure sprang from beside thc bed. Ho leaped toward thc middle of tho floor end extinguished thc gos. Luoy'o courage had returned. De spite tho knowledge that the assassin held tho poniard, sho made an effort to seize him. Tho mysterious being glided from her grasp, and a second time, like a shadow, disappeared through the opon window. At thc samo moment Mr. Palmedo appeared at tho room door. Ho had heard thc shrieks while sitting in the library, and had hastened to his daughter's assistance. A scoond timo ho found tho door locked on thc inside. Luoy opened it and lot him io tho room. "My child, my child! what is tho matter?" asked tbo father. * Although Mr. Palmodo was a strsngo, storu man, he loved his child. Thc daughter related what had ooonrred, while her father relit the gas, As Mr. Pelmedc listened to tho story his appearance of torroi vanished, and a oold, sordonio smile rested upon his atora face. A suspicion flushed aoross his mind. Ile did not attompt tc look for the assassin, and when the servante carno flocking into tho room be ordered them to return to bcd, stating that nothing had occurred, and that his daughter had only boon frightonod by his owu entrance into her room. Luoy was astonished ot bet father's singular iodiflerouoo. Ia tb? meantime but one thought was present it hor father's mind. Ho remembered th< word? of Frank Midgoly: "Your daughter's lifo is in danger!" Mr. Palmedo imagined that he ss* through tho whole trick. Tbo lovers wen playing a trick. It was a oonspiraoj t< work on his parental fears and seouro hi consont to their marriage. Ho mado u] his miud not to be imposed upon, and at th BUHO timo resolved upon tho line of conduc ho should adept. "Poor child/' he said, "return to bod; yoi hnvo beon dreaming again!" Luoy bad heard something drop upo tho floor when sho sought to soizo tho assat sin, and sho commenced to look around t soo what it was. Hbo found a sandal suo as ia worn by Orientals. "This is not tho product of a droatr papal" sho enid, triumphantly. Tho father glanced at tho singular look ing pedal adornment, and said coolly. "Oh! yes it is, my childi" "Why, papa?" ?'Como, go to bcd, darling, and droai again; next time you may bo able to abo mo a whole armory of weapons and otb? curious artiolcsl" "Papal" was all that Luoy could sa There was a something in his daughtot tones so honest, that tho idea crossed h father's mind that it might bo possible th abo waa not a party to tho deooption whit waa being praoticcd, and ho asked: "My child, do you honostly assuro n that you lia ve told nn; an unvarnished talo "Papa, could you suspeot your child stooping to deooption?" "And you aro ?uro you wore not drcan ing?" "Is Ibis tho product of a dream?" aga askod Luoy, holding forth the sandal. "You Hay you had a fair view of t assassin's faoor" "Yes, air." "Did it Btriko you that thoro was nny thing familiar in that fuco?" "Yes, sirl" answered Luoy, promptly. "You had scon tho assassin's features he? fore?" "1 think I had, sir!" "Wheo? aud whore?" "Upon tho street." "How much did they rosotnblo your friend's?" "What; friond?" "Frauk Midgoly." Again Lucy oould only exclaim: ?'Ohl pops!" "My childi I do not think you aro a party to a certain deception, but I fear an effort is being mode.to deceive both of us." .'By whom, papa?" "lt is not necessary for mo to tell; but did Frank Midgely over warn you that your lifo was io danger?" ??No, sir." "Did ho ever "Warn you ot all?" "Yes, sir." "Against what?" "Against thia very assassin whom I havo seen to night." Mr. Pulmedo laughed outright. His daughter's honest confession had solved, M ho thought, all doubts. "My ohild," ho said, "you aro tho victim of a trick I" "Possibly, papa; but one thing is certain; Frank Midgoly is nota party to any trick, BS your questions would suggest." 41 Why should he warn you, thon, against thc assassin? If ow should ho know that a shadow Uko murderer was liable to enter your room?" "Beoauso I told him about the man fol lowing mo with the strange eyes, and ho warned ino against that muni" Mr. Pulmedo asked concerning tho man with tlie strange eyes, and his daughter told him,. Her fattier was puzzled. Thc whole affair appeared to be ycry mysterious. Still, ho could not han i di from his mind tho suspicion that Frank was at the bottom of tho wholo affair, and consequently he was not greatly alarmed. Tho day nrrivod when ho regretted his acuso of security on this occasion. Ho commanded his daughter not to communicate to a living soul what hud ocourrcd. Ho evon wout so fur ns to onution her not to even write loony ouo conocruing the matter, and not to wriio to or receive a lotter from Prank Midgoly under any oir oumstaoues whatever. Two nights followed the scenes above described Walton Spraguc entered Prank Midgcly's room ot tho hotel, blooding from a serious wound in his ncok. CHAPTER XIV. rilK DETECTIVE HAS A STARTLING ADVEN TURE. The detective had pretended to Frank Midgely that ho thought tho beholding of thc ghost was n oaso of mistaken idontity. In Iiis own mind, however, tho oahu, thoughtful attention had an entirely differ ent theory. When ho heard of the singu lar adventure which Lucy had encountered in hoing followed by tho mysterious fellow who looked Uko an Arab, his suspicions woro confirmed. He did not bolieve thnt tho shadow who nppenred to haunt these two young lovers was Hamud, ot least the Unmud whose body he had consigned to the sea. Ho did think, however, that this old or new shadow was really a substance, anda very dangorous oustomcr, whose ulti mate purpose was secret murder. Thc deleotivo had boen furnished with a very accurate description of him, and he felt assured that he would reoognizo him at sight. His aim was to discover the dark, fierce dodger. Por two days he had lounged around the hotel, while Frank was scated in tho reading room as a decoy. Ho hod also secured Mr. Palmcdo's consent to his daughter's walking out, while thc detective "piped" behind her. Mr Palmodo did not know of the detective's intimacy or even acquaintance with Frank Midgely, and readily consented. His oonsent was given under tho impression that tho author of tho trouble was merely a tool of his dough tor's lover, and ho desired the fellow's capture. His ordora to the dctootive were: ".If you catch that chap dogging my daughter, arrest him at once and send for me, and I will be responsible for all damages, in case any mistake shall be made.' Lucy Palmodo did toke a walk out, and the dotcotive followod ber; but neither ol them saw anythingof tho man with the Arab faoo. Upon the second night following thc adventure with the assassin in Lucy's bed room, Walton Sprague was sauntoriop along Broadway, when a form passet through a bright ray of light whioh oam< flashing through a storo window. Ont glanoe w?s sufficient; the detective had a last sot oyes on the shadow assassin. Tin man had not seen the officer, and the lattei started on a "piping" tour. He did not wis) to arrest the follow nt once. In fact he hat no grounds for arresting bira. As yet h had only been identified ss having one da; doggod Lucy Palmedo. Thoro was no evi dence that he wns tho shadow murderer But ho wished to learn where the folio*, lodged, in order to run down tho whole gnnp to whioh he had no doubt he belonged, nm by running ono of tho pirates to cover h expected to find them all and moko on grand haul. Silontly ho glided upon th man's tracks. Tho latter kept upon hi way, seemingly unconscious of boin followod. Tho dctcotivo "piped" his gnm down below Canal ttrcot and through th oross streets whioh leads down to th thoroughfare that runs in tho rear of til Tombs. Tho latter is not only n lonely bi n dangerous neighborhood. Tho dctcotiv felt that ho was in goud luok. Tho indi vidual ho wes following had struct) strnigl for tho vicinity whore it wns most prohab that sud) as ho would sock on abidit: placo. Walton Sprnguc wa? so intont i running down his own gamo that ho nov gavb time to learn thnt ho himself was boir dogged just as stealthily os ho was pursuit another. They woro directly in tho rear tho looming walls of tho Tombs. No 01 Was on tho street, nod thc corner lamps ga but a dull and nickeling light. Suddenly startling inoidont ocourrcd. Tho siendo formed man whom thc dctcotivo had bc piping suddenly started ou a run and dodg around tho corner ont of sight before t officer fairly realized what had occam Thc trnth flashed over tho officer's min Tho fellow had known nil along thnt ho w being followed. Tho dotcotive dotormio hot to bo run out of his gnmo in such 8Ummarv mnnner, nnd was just on tho poi of starting on n run after his man, wh tho report of a pistol broke tho stillness n Walton Sprnguc fell headlong, faco dow ward, on tho pavement. In a moment t officer was on his feet und had drawn and cocked his own pistol. Ho looked around io every direction, but could foo no sigu of a living foul. Tho report of tho pistol in that suspicious neighborhood had uoc oven appeared to attract any attention.' Tho officer felt tho warm blood running dowo Iiis book and knew bo had been wounded. Ho had boon in sorimmages before, and, laying his finger in tbo wound, discovered that it was across his cook end was merely a flesh out. Ho was bleeding pretty freoly and knew at onoo that his "piping" jig was up for tho timo being. Angry and mortified ho returned toward tho hotel. Ho know that ho had boen doublo baulked, as tbo professional term goos, and "played" into a trap. Upon rcaohing tho hotel and entering the room where Fraok was, tho latter ex claimed: "Groat Heavens! what has hnppcnodl lluvo you been to the beach againt, Tho doteotivo smiled grimly and an swered: "No; but I hovo boon skinned with a bullet by ono of your shadow assassins!"
