situation. IIo neither loses his presence
of mind nor his unbablo placidity
of mnnnor.
And bo orders his stuff of servants
nfter tlio fashion of a great general 011
tho battle tiled.
h ibboy doos not suspect that hois
bo ng watched. Novertbelo3S such is
tho fact.
Tho suppor-room is niarvolous in its
nrrungoiuent. Kibbcy looks it over
with tho evo of a connoisseur. Nothing
is wanting to add to its porfection.
l'ooplo stream in and out; they eat,
drink, laugh, and go away again, only
to return a littlo later and ropeat tho
eating and drinking, tho laughing and
chattering.
fco tho hours wear away.
Madam Jhindus refreshes herself 1
with ft siysjfa behind tin* curtaina i?? ,
dining-room, and comes out again gracious
and smiling to hor guests.
Miss Lafnrgo glows like a star of tho <
brightest radiance. Her bluo o.yos are
jdenr and bright as summer skies. She l
smiles like an angel, and quite forgets
for tho timo being to snap her littlo I
white teeth at anybody.
tSlio is socrotly deterntined in hor
own mind to bring tho gallant Captaiu
to her feet to-night, but this task is |
nioro diltieult than she at first imagines
it will 1 in ho.
Tho Captain lias angled some in his
own tinio, and though ho at oneo nibl^cs
dolieately at tho bait thrown out
by his fair guest, ho is too experienced
a tish to at once swallow it, hook and
all. J.oo watclios tho pair socrotly.
ftho loses hopo and almost bolioves
that tho Captain is in love with Miss
Lafargo, after nil. 15: t, outwprdly,
she is as gay as tho rest v f them, ami
never loses a dance, bo it wait/, or galop,
or tho stately old cotillion. Kho
receives enough attention to turn tho
head of another ahd enjoys it
after a fashion, loo. Hut sho is not
sorry wbou tho clock strikes ono and
tho revolers begin to disporso. Still, 1
tho Captain hovers near Miss I?afarge. i
? Madam sits in a great carved chair
near tho open door of tho hall as tho 1
guests cotno down tho stairs, wrapped
and ready for departure.
"Carriago for l'orndoau," "Carriage I
for 11 aver ly," "Carriago for Stanwood," 1
cry the dillercnt voices of the coach- ]
men, us tho carr'agos roll up boforo
tho ontrnnco and cotno to a halt. I
The short, fat man who has occasion- i
ally hccu scon moving unobtrusively
among tho servants during tho lattor i
part of tho evening is standing in tho
shadow of tho staireaso. Quito ueci- i
dentally, of courso. Kibbey, tho butlor,
has just approached him for a moment.

them nobody notices it. Tlio butler
carries a tray on which is a cup of hot
tea, which is intended for Madam herself.
Ho goes along with tho tray to
tho great carved chair iu which she is
reclining. Miss l.nfurgo has disappeared
in tho dressing-room at tho
head of tho staircase. She now appears
a vision of blondo lovolinoss in
her white etnbroidored e\oiling wrap9,
as tho voice of Obo sings out slowly :
"Carringo for Stubbloliold. Carriago
for Miss Ijafurge."
Now she lloats down tho staircase.
Flio Captain, like tho gallant gcntlovw
linn that lio really is, stands near
V^bidain, ready to hand Miss Jjnfargc to

down tho stairs.
At tho mention of Miss Lafarge's

T1(T futo the light and stares nt'
l\L ? *J the floating figure. He is
curious to seo tho kiud-neartod lady
who was yesterday too ill to grant him
an intoi view. Now. at the announcement
of her nauio ho leans slightly forward,
and ns sho comes under tho full
glare of tho gas light curiosity gives
wav to am izoment. This emotion is
quickly displaced by 0110 of overpowering
rage, for he glancos at hor with
tho ?yes o? a devil.
Totally unconscious of the effect hor
prosonco has producod on the soi-ilisant
sorvant, Miss I.nfargogracefully approaches
tho great carvod chair whero
| Madam is seated, to say her adieus.
Kibboy slirinl s back away from her, |
his hands shafting ho thartfce crrps mt- 1
tie on tho tray ho is holding. i
Captain Hazard steps toward hor as i
sho panscs in front of Madam. Miss i
Lnfargo opens lior pretty mouth, and i
rays in her silvery voico how much sho i
)ias enjoyod tlio ovening; says somothing
pretty about tlio pleasure Madam
has Riven her, and glances casually for
the tii'fit tinio at tho butler.
What she boo* in that scared face
r>roducos a stranRO eflcct upon my
ady.
Tho light fades from her eyes, tho
bloom loaves her lovely face. She
looks away, partly recovering herself,
and gives tho Captain hor hnnd.
"I am not feeling well, I think," is
what she says, faintly. "With your permission,
Madam, I will bid you goodnight."
She stoops before Madam, then turns
toward the Captain.
An*ovil countenance, on which is
written cvory evil emotion known to
the human he rt. lieors at her from the
shadows of tho stairs down which she ,
has just come.
Mis* Lafargo sees this faeo. She retreats
two steps. White foam begins *
to gather upon her livid lips.
"Jutfilh," says n low and warning J"
voico.
llor teeth chatter. A sudden chill
freezes tho very marrow iu lier bones.
"Judith." v
Now b'uu shrieks. A long, wihl .
p'orcing shriek, that rings ihroug'nout .
tho houso?a shriek that paralyzes _
Madam in her cliair?a shriek lliat c
fotches the guests from tho chambers? B
a shriek that brings the servants from
below stairs?the policemen from tho '
park grounds.
The butler drops his tray and it falls '
crashing to tho tloor. He looks im- "
ploringly at Hazard, who stands trans- .
tixod with astonishment.
l'eoplo crowd into tho hall; guests 8
and sorvants mingle confusodly to- ,
-j .41 . '
Miss Lafarge sees nobody, nothing
but tho evil faco and twinkling rod eyes ^
of the stranger.
She shrieks again. Suddenly she
rushes toward him; her eyes look like
blue Humes, she loans upon him liko a t
tigress, and, snapping, snarling, buries
her little white teeth repeatedly in his T
llesh.
How liko abeaut'ful demon sho looks c
as sho snarls, and growls, and bitoB. c
But it is a si -koning sight. f

As Hazard looks at her tho truth ''
bursts upon him.
"Sho is mad."
Tho word is taken up and pnsscs
from lip to lip. Tho crowd surges
back and forms a denso circle about tho
little group in tliu hall.
Madam has fainted. Loo flits away
for the smelling bottles, tho camphor? v

"Hearth!" sho screams. "Scarth and

Then she heaves a groat sigh. i
"This is a pretty bit of work," hisses ?
Donithorno at the craven butler. "I ^
believo this is a vilo plot betwoen you
both to ruin mo." t
"I thought she was dead," begins c
Hearth, pale with terror. "You sent a
mo yourself a newspaper account of 1
her doath. llow could I know sho was
ulivo and right hero under my very s
hose? I toll you I am as much sur- J
prised as you can possibly bo." t
"Jt was tho other ono that died," (.
cries tho false Miss Lafarge. "Hhe c
was burned in tho railway accident, t

and tho coiling came down to tho lloor.
Hho ought to have died, the silly goose.

bito Miss (.'hidley, too. I wish I could t
bite ovcrybody." f
Slio snaps hor littlo white teolh.
Hazard seizes tho butler by tho arm.
"What is this woman to you?" ho i
asks, sternly.
"Nothing," lies tho coward. (
Miss Lafargo bursts into a peril of
ringing laughter. Sho writhes and t
twists, and still slio laughs at tho butlor's
lie. t
"Senrtli is my sistor," shouts Miss
Lafarge, whoso fancy at present is to <
put hor brother, tho butler, in her own 1
place. My sister. Hearth's renl nnyio i
is Judith Donithorno, and she is Jim t
bouithoiuu'i* wife. 1'oor thing. Jka J

noils her head at h r late victim.
"That's Jim thorc. He's a tyrant aud
a villain; a liar, and a thief. No wonder
my poor sister goos mad and runs B?
away from him. I'd g? mad myself *K
were I tied up to such a wretch as mi
ho is." he
Douilhorno is backod up against tho 0,1
staircase, closely guarded on either tin
sido by a polieoman. ltis faeo is do- th<
mouiacal in its look of batHed rago and ilo
hate as his mad wife pours out tho vol- qu
urae of hor sarcasm upon him. coi
What she says is true enoug.i. ke<
" I 'onithorne was onco tho editor of ttri
a fifth-rate country newspaper," whis- wjl
pers a polieoman in Hazard's astonished
ears. "A big libel suit ruinod

Somebody pulled Hazard's sloevo at ..
his juncture. He looked up and bo- 1'
icld the village constablo. This olli- ?
ial beckoned tho Captain, and thoy
topped aside. neM
" Wc'vo got them down flno," whis- fco 1
era tho Constablo. "Wo watched lnd

"Yes, you will," tho Constable replies reo

Hazard shudders.
"Away with them all!" ho says im- 1,11
intiently; "away with them 1"
When they aro all gono, Hazard Jot

lihitory of the use of all steam presses.
Jitder this ruling the Mil ignn presses now
isod hy ths bureau will have to he dispensed
vitb. There are eighteen Milligan and one
Jomer Lee steam presses in use there.
The Secretary's decision is n clear victory
or the labor unions, who have been lighting
or the introduction of hand presses. They
vero successful in their efforts in this direclon
when the act of Congress was passed,
>ut the language of the bill was such that a
piestion arose ns to whether it was strictly
rohibitory and tho matter was referred to
lecrotary Windom for decision. The H -creiry
has rofis J to sign uny contract with
he Milligan Company.
Tho work of removing the steam presses
vill begin nt once; they will all be put out
>f tho building by the end of the week. In
>!nco of them Captain Meredith will put at
ince into operation twenty eight hand
tresses now in stock. The chief says that
