Kibbey is master of the situation. Ho ueitlicr loses his presence of mind nor his amiable placidity of man nor. And ho orders his stalT of servnnts after the fashion of a great general on the batt!o ltlod. Kibbey does, not suspect that hois boiug watched. Novcrthole3S such is tho fact. The i-uppor-room is marvelous in its arrangement. Kibbey looks it over ' with tho eve of a connoisseur. Nothing is wanting to add to its porfoction. i> 1?i ? ? - ? uupiu rivrvuui iu ana out; (boy eat, drink, langli, and go away again, only to return a little later And repeat the eating and drinkiug, the laugning and chattering. So the hours wear away. Madam Dundoa rofreshes herself with JUsiestft.ljehind the nurtalnu Tiniw? shafts S11"1 " ctouh and smiling to her gnosis. Miss Lafargo glows like a star of tho brightest radiance. Hor blue eyos are clear and bright as summer skies. She smiles like au augel, and quite forgets for the time being to snap her little white teeth at anybody. Sho is socrotly determined in hor own mind to bring the gallant Oaptaiu to her feet to-night, but this toak is more ditiicult than she at tirst imagines it will be bo. Tho Captain has angled some in his own time, and though ho at once nibses delicatoly at tho bait thrown out by his fair guest, ho is too experienced a fish to at onco swallow it, hook and all. Loo wntchos tho pair secretly. Bho loses hope and almost believes that the Captain is in love with Miss Lafarorc. after all. Uut. outwerdlv. she is as gay as tiie rest of them, ami nevci* loses a dnuce, bo it wait/., or galop, or the statoly old cotillion. She receives enough attention to tarn the head of another girl, and enjoys it after a fashion, too. But she is not sorry when tho clock strikes one and the revelers begin to disperse. Still, ^ the Captain hovers near Miss Lafarge. jjp Madam sits in a groat carved ohair near the open door of tho hall as tho gneste come down the stairs, wrapped and ready for departure. "Carriage for Ferndeau," "Carriago for Haverly," "Carriage for Stan wood," cry the different voices of the coachmen, as tho carr'agos roll up beforo the entrance and come to a halt. The short, fat man who has occasion ally been seen moving unobtrusively Among tho servants during the latter part of tho ovouing is standing in the shadow of the staircase. Quite accidentally, of course. Kibbey, the butler, I has just approached him for a moment. If a significant look passes between "Judith!" m id a low and wmtngvoto* them nobody notices it. The bokler E2ES carries a tray on whiol* 1b a pop of hot tea. which is intended for Madam her- 1 ? He goes along with the tray to the groat carved chair in which jfce ' I reclining. Mias Lafarge lias disapimrod in the dressing-room at the head of the staircase. She now appears a vision of blondo loveliness In her white embroidered evening wraps, as the voioe of Obe sings out slowly: "Carriage for Stnbblofield. Carriage for Miss Lafargo." ? g Now she floats down the staircase. Tho Captain, like the gallant gentle^ j^^man that he really is, stands near roudj to hand Miss Lafarge to t , mA loddv." again cries S"" L af e? ?ee?

Now, at the announcement of her namo he leans slightly for- a ward, and as she comes under tho full 8 glaro of the gas light curiosity gives ? way to am lzomeut. This emotion is * quickly displaced by ono of overpower- v ing rage, for he glancos at hor with tho eyes o( a devil. Totally unconscious cf the effect hor 1 presence has produced on the soi-din- F anl servant, Miss Lafargo gracefully ap- '< pronehes the great carved chair whero j1 Madam is seated, to say hor adieus. * Kibhoy shrinl s back away from her, g his hands shaking so that the otxps rat- o tie on the tray he is holding. a Captain Hazard steps toward her as o she pauses in front of Madam.

What she seo* in that scared face [iroduces a strange effect upon my ady. The light fa<les from her eyes, the bloom loaves her lovely face. She looks away, partly recovering liorsolf, and gives tho Captain her hand. "I am not feeling woll, I think," is wbnt she says, faintly. "With your permission, Madam, I will bid you gooduight." Hho stoops bofore Madam, then turns toward the Captain. An * evil countenance, on which is writtch cvory evil emotion. fcnown to tho humau lie rt, peers at her from the shadows of the stairs down which she ? has just como. M is* Lafargo sees this face. She retreats two steps. White foam begins ? to gather upon hor livid lips. s ' Judith, says a low and warning fj voico. * ? ller teeth chatter. A sudden chill ?' freezes tho very marrow in her bones. "Judith." * Now bIio shrieks. A long, wild p'ercing sliriek, that rings throughout . tho liouso?a shriek that paraly/.os . Madam in lier chair?a shriek that c! fotehes tho guests from the ohambers ? n shriek that brings the sorvants from bolow Btairs?tho policomon from the P park grounds. !' The butler drops his tray and it falls crashing to the floor. He looks im- ll. ploringly at Hazard, who stands trans- V tixod with astonishment. I( People crowd into the hall; guests H1 and servants mingle confusedly to- , (y. *????. J ?wmm Iiwfargs?sw j uuiiiwg r?' but the etll face and twinkling red eyes , of the strangor. Who shrieks again. Suddenly she rushes toward liira; her eyes look like bluo llamos. she leaps upon him liko a . tigross, and, snapping, snarling, buries her little white teeth repeatedly in his T flesh. IIow like a boaut'ful demon she looks 0j zz she snarls, and growls, and bites. 0 But it is a si-honing sight. f, ClIArfiit XVIL V MAD. >11E policemen know their " duty and' do it. They 7 aoize her. There is a short but furiouB struggle. Her pretty hands are P scratched and bleeding, they are at last se- 1 J^K&^SHvcurely bound behind her. ? A? she stands before her " ifff& JW/j captors foam and froth 8 l&YiSfjKr I fulls from her livid lips. Her long blonde hair * sweeps down over her 1 ' torn and blood - stuine<l 6 bull dress; bine lightnings scorn to ? shoot from her flashing eyes. As Hazard looks at- her the truth " bursts upon him. "8ho is mad." The word is taken up and passes from lip to lip. The orowd surges back and forms a dense circle about the little group in the hall. Madam has fainted. Loo flits away for tho smelling bottles, the camphor? * anything. c Miss Lnfargo, unconscious of the i curious stare of which sho is tho objoct, looks straight before her. She 1 sees nobody but tho rascally butler and t his equally rascally confrere. She recognizee both. s "Hearth I" she screamR. "Hearth and Jim Donithorne. Lost, lost! Why <did s ou not tell me that wretch was hero? Lost I All lostl" Then she heaves a great sigh. i "This is a pretty bit of work," hisses ? Donithorno at the craven butler. "I v believe this is a vile plot botwoen you both to ruin mo." t UI thought slio was dead," begins c Hearth, palo with terror. "You sent > me yourself a newspaper account of 1 her death. How could I know she was alivo and right hero under my very t nose? I tell yon I am as much sur- 1 prised as you oan possibly bo." t "It was tho other one that died," ( cries the false Miss Lafarge. "She < was burned in the railway accident, ( when tho floor flew up to the ceiling 1 and the oeiling came down to the floor. Hhe ought to have died, the silly goose. Hhe told me everything. They carried 1 her out on a board?she was a long, whito thing then in a sheet. I gave 1 her mr clothe?. Black is the color to bury folks in. And I aent a notice of her death to the newspapers. Oh, it i was fine?fine. I knew somebc^t 1 would weep when they read it. I wanted to bite her once. I wanted to bite Mitt Chidley, too. I wish I con id i bite everybody." [ Hho snaps her little white teeth. Hazard seizes the batier by the arm. "What is this woman to yon?" he i asks, sternly. "Nothing." lies the coward. < Miss Lafarge bursts into a peal of ringing laughter. Sho writhos and i twists, and still she laughs at the butler's lie. t "Soarth is my sister," shoots Miss Lafarge, whose fancy at present is to < put her brother, the butler, in her own 1 El ace. My sister. Soarth's real name i i Judith Douitliorne, and she is Jim 1 Pouitborne's wife. Poor thing. Jka i ends her a hard life, and she goea aad occasionally over it." Then aha toda her head at her late victim. "That's J iin thoro. He'd a tyrant and t villain; a liar, and a thief. No wonler my poor sister goes nmd and runs way from him. I'd g? mad myself rere I tied up to such a wretch as le ia." Donilhorno is backod up against the taircase, closely guarded on either iue by a policoman. llis faco is doaoniaoal in its look of batHed rage and iate as his mod wifo pours out the voltmo of hor sarcasm upon him. What she says is true onougn. " ronithorne was once the editor of \ fifth-rate country newspaper," whis>ers a policeman in Hazard's astonshed ears.

"Wo watched ntil tho plate was takon out of the ouso?a bit at a time, and secreted in wagon that has been standing under lio troes by tho little gate in tho wall, ?r tho lost hour or moro.

Scarth looks strangely like his orazy istor as he gives way to his rage and srror At this unexpected turn of Hair8. "1 won't be arrested?I swear won't." "Yes, you will," tho Constable roplies heerfully.

This last aul at Bywatcr Park has finished our businoss for some time to como." Hazard shudders. "Away with them all!" ho says imatiently; "away with them 1" When they are all gone, Hazard urns to Madam, who has remained unonscious all this time. In vain I. oo as opplied the camphor, tho smelling alts, the sal volatile. The moment Hazard touches her he nows what has happened. Madam )undus jwas vory old. The shook, the xcitemont has boon greater than sho nu oear. She lies back in the great arved chair auite still and cold. Her cart has ceosod to boat, Sho is dead.

The doctor la<d down the heavy hand rhse rapid, flickering pulse he was dinting, and turned toward the weepng family of the sick man.
