By MRS. ALEXANDER. CHAPTER VIIL 13 Dawning Light. Glynn was true to hta promise. Ho forcod himself back to something of hts old routine. He took a deeper interest In business than before, and found something of relief In the men tal effort It obliged him to make. Men said Glynn was greatly changed sines that bad fever he had had. Women thought him more In teresting. The truth was hardly sus pected. One of the chief Interests In this new phas? of- Glynn's existence was to watch Deerlng, whom he frequent ly met. Glynn did npt reject hts advances, though never lapsing Into Intimacy. Dcering often spoke of Lambert, and volunteered the information that the New York pcllco had their eye upon him. that he had arrived all right, landed, and gone away South almost immediately. Gradually It dawnad upon Glynn that Deerlng was watching him, that lie suspected him of knowing more of Elsie's disappearance than any oni else. Ho was careful not to let Deer lng see that he perceived this, and so, under the fair seeming of friendly nc? qualntanccshln, the two men kepi watch over cach other with dcadl) pertinacity and keenness, Glynn keep lng profoundest silence as to his cor? vlctlon that ho had heard Elsie'? ?olee. Sometimes he felt that he would give all he pos3os!vd to shake himself clear of the haunting horror which poisoned his life. On the whole, evil anticipations predominated. He had been greatly disappointed nt Lam bert's avoidance of him. He could not bear to think that the unhappy, bereaved father had withdrawn his confidence. In the last week of February De?r Ing's land agent came to town, bring ing with him maps, plans and calcu lations. To Glynn's great surprise he proved to be a certain Dick Wel don, formerly one of his school fel lows. Thl3 recognition led to soma Intercoui-33. Glynn, without delib erate question, Inpr, gathered a good deal of information, which threw a new light cn Dsering's character in Eom9 directions. ? His old acquaintance dined with him, and they talked over bygon? days and boyish ezcapr.dcs with zest, at least on Weldon's side. One cold, dry, dark evening Glynn had ncceptcd an invitation to dine with Wei don at the hotel in Holborn where he usually stayed on his short visits to town. Dinner was over, and both men were enjoying a cigar, when to the great surprise of both Decring was ushered In. Ho apologized shortly for his intrusion, apd explained that ho had Just had private intelligence that the member fcr a borough town near Denham wa3 dangerously 111, and that ho (Decring) wished to win the probably vacant seat. He there fore wished Weldom, who knew the local population, ana was well nble td foe! Its pulse, to leave town next morning and put matters In train for an immediate canvass. As soon as he could withdraw with out too rude a dl-jplay of indifference, Glynn ro3e to cay good night; when Deerlng, somewhat to his annoyance, proposed to go with him. "I have r.o more to say now, Wcl don. As scon as the death or retire ment It declared, I will go down to Denham." On reaching the entrance of the hotel, they stopped, intending to call a cab, and while waiting Glynn's at tention was attracted by two cloaked tnd veiled women, who were standing clo30 together. Just within the door way. One was tall and stout, the other barely of middle size; her shoulders, even though the rain cloak wrapped round her, showed unmis takable grace ? unmistakable and fa miliar; a small hat wan entirely en. veloped in a thick vail, which was tied over her face, the ends being brought loosely round tlio throat to tho front, Glynn's oyes wero riveted on this figure, whllo he seemed to be peeving into the darkness, and fell nervously anxious not to direct Deerf lng's r.otlco to tho object which at* traotcd him. "If ho could only hiftr her fpeRk!" Ho listened Intently, "It 13 useless, we must try nn omnU bus, It is really eater," he overheard the taller lady say, Tho other mur mured something, and turning hor heafl, displayed, in spite of her muffling, a morsel of white neck, and a glimpse of golden brown hair. Glynn's heart beat. At all risks, he must keep that girl in view; any mis tako was better than to loso the faint est chance. But Deerlng must not know his suspicions. At last th9 taller of the two women paid, "Come," and went forth into the street. At that moment an Islington omnibus drove up. fche stepped for ward under tho nearest lamp, tried to stop It by wnvlng her umbrella. Tho vehlclo was full, and tho two cloaked figures walked slowly away toward Oxford street. "Excuse me," said Glynn, abruptly, "I am anxious to get hom?; I will walk on and taki my chancw of a cab." "Very well," returned Deerlng, "I'll conn with you." Glynn ?as dismayed. Did Dserlng ?ufcpect, ns ho did, that this cloaked and veiled figure might be Elsie Lam bert? If go, what could he Co to savt b#r from hi* recognition? His heart thrilled with pain and delight at tho baro Idea of standing oac3 moro faco to faco with his lost love. What secrets would that rout ing unveil? Meanwhile he never lost sight cf the figures going on befora them, ar.d Deerlng spoka at Inter vals. ??There'i an empty hansom at last.** he cried. "I am coins on a little further,** ?aid Qlynn. "But don't let me Inter fere with you."r "Oh, I don't mlud walking with you; I have no engagement I care to keep." he replied. "Why does he persist?" thought Glynn. "I am going to look In on an artist friend near Tottenham Court Road," ho said cloud. "Oh, very well; queer places these fellows put up In. By the way, I have had another report or our mutual ac quaintance. Lambert. He Is at St. Louts, and has changed his name for the third or fourth time." "Indeed! then you must have had a telegram?" "Yes, that is, our friends, Claude and Co., have communicatcd theirs to me. If Lambert begins to try con cealment we'll find out something." "I tri.e.t we shall," said Glynn, me chanically. his eyes greedily follow ing the two figures, lamp after lamp shedding Its light upon them as they passed. It was an extraordinary sltuatlor to be thus dogging the footsteps 01 , the quarry you wished to preserve from your fellow hunter, and yet to bo unavoidably leading that hunter oa her track. "I fancy you don't want me," said Deerlng, at last. "If so " "Why should you think I do not?" Interrupted Glynn. "I can't exactly tell why," said Deerlng, laughing, "but I am sure 1 am right." Glynn was almost beside himself with hope, dread and nervous ten sion. Another Islington omnibus drove past and stopped. The two ladles darted to it, exchanging a hasty hand pressure, and then the shorter of tlio two mounted swiftly, and van ished swiftly into the interior. "Good night!" cried Glynn abrupt ly; "tho humble 'bus will Buit me ad mirably." Eaforo his astonished companion could reply he was beside the vehicle, which was still standing, as a stout and irritable e!derly gentleman was painfully disentangling himself from among the tightly packed passengers. 'If you had only let mo out first," he exclaimed angrily as he alighted. "Trouble you for threepence," in terrupted tho conductor. "Threepence! v/hy, I only got in at Leather Lane." "All right! ? Islington!" Another in3tant and Glynn occu pied the stout man's place ? nearer tho door, but on tho opposite side to the lady ho was following ? and they were rolling rapidly westward. "At first he would not let himself seem to see her, and by the light of the omnibus lamp he could hardly make out her features, so thin was tho laca which concealed them. Sud denly ho raw her start and draw her cloak closer together with a nervous movement. Had she recognized him? Gradually, his eyes growing famil iar with the light and tho texture of the veil, the conviction grow upon him that ho was not mistaken, that it was indeed Elsie Lambert. At last he observed Elsie ? yes, It was Elsie ? murmur comething to her next neighbor, who immediately called out: "Conductor, Chapel street for this lady." The omnibus stopped. Glynn kept quietly in IiIb place, but sprang out tho moment die had passed him. The ennlbui drove rapidly away. The slight flguro was but a lew paces before him in a quiet street leading from the omnibus line. The longed-for, dreaded moment, had come. Ho walked rapidly past her, turned round suddenly aud confront ed her, exclaimed: "Miss Lambert ? Elsie; you cannot r/lsh to avoid me?" She stopped and put out both her hands with a repellent gesture of liclples3 terror that touched Glynn'* heart with Immense pity. "Is It possible you fear me?" ho ?aid, catching both her hands in bis. She was client, motionless; but as he almost unconsciously drew her nearer to blm, he felt that she was trembling so violently that ehu could scarcely gtand, "Do not fear, I will not bttmy you to any one, J will help you If 1 can, Will you not speak to me? Is It th? Elsfe T used to know?" With a long, quivering nigh she whispered, "It Is." "Let me look at your faro one? more," said Glynn in a low, intense tone. "Don't you know you may trust me?" "It Is not for myself I fear," she eald In the same hushed, friehtr^ed votC%, fts Abe yleldeiTlo the" movement by which he drew her under a lamp; r.rJ loosening her veil, she lifted It, raising her eyes with their well re membered expression of thoughtful candor to his. How lovely they were! With what rapture Glynn read In them the confirmation of her assur rnc that she was the ramo Elsie he huJ l:>ved and lost. Eut she was ehangod; tho swee; cye3 wero unut terably sad, and the delicate cheek was Idas rounded. The soft lips were palo and quivered nervously, and the hand ha still held was thinner. Rho seemed unable to suppress the exces sive trembling that had seized her. Glynn's wholo soul went out to her In love and trust; he could hardly re sist the impulsa to e'.asp her to hit hnrt, to shelter her aselnst'all 111 in his bosom. But might s'r.e not bo the wlCo of naother man? Anything might have fc&ppeasd durJn; the tor rlble blank; and, abovo all, he ?ust win h?r confidence. "Ah, yes. you nra Indeed the gam#. Why ? v/hy have you given us all this sorrow, thla fcar.'ul anxiety? Think of what your poor father has suffered.

"Now that I have found you. do yon think I will lose sight of yoo again?" "Ton will. I om sure, do what Is best for me, and kindest." said Elsies "Lot us move on; we shall attract at tent Ion." She did not resist when he drew her arm through his own. and they slowly paced up the street In which he had overtaken her. "Do you think me capable of be traying you?" asked Glynn. "No." after a pause, as If to plan her speech; "but 1 have more than myself to thluk of. You must not ask me any questions." "Can you say nothing? Is there no way In which I can help you?" "1 fear not ? I do not know ? I ? ** she stopped and drew a long, sobbing breath ? "I dare not speak. Any word might betray more than I ought." "For your father's sake! ? think of all he must endure. Have you any duty to como before what you owe him?" "Think of him! do 1 not think of him? My love and duty are "his only. But" ? she tried to withdrawher arm ? "you must let me go; I dare not stay." "I cannot let you go unless you promise to meet me again, or tell me where I may see you. No, I will not release your arm. Elsie ? Miss Lam bert, I have been seeking you for seven months; my brain has reeled at the horror of lis picture of your fate; I cannot lot you go now. Why do you distrust me? Let me take you home. How could I leave you hero in the dark alone?" "Oh, do not torment me!" she ex claimed, and her voice expressed such pain that Glynn almost hesitated to persevere In his efforts to detain her. "In truth I long to take you with me; I am sure you are kind and true, and I fear to be alone; but I will brave anything, endure anything rather than say whence I came and whither I go. Do not be angry with me." She burst into an agony of tears, leaning against him ns if from sheer Inability to stand alone. "Good God! Elsie, what can I do to comfort and help you? I Implore you to trust me. If I let you go now without retaining some clew by which I can find you, I can never forgive mysalf." "I long to tell you much, all, but I must not. Yet I might get leave; I might write. Give mo your address; I may write to you." "Will you promise this solemnly, faithfully?" "If I do, will you let me go? I am late already. He will bo so anxious!" "He! who?" n throb of fierce jeal ousy vibrating through Glynn's heart. "If you promise to see me once more, when and where you will, I will trust you and let you go. You s?e, I have more faith in you than you have In me." "No; you are free, I am not. I will promise to write to you before Friday night, if you will promise not to make any attempt to discover ms until after I have written." "Good; then promiso for promise." "I promise to write to you, and? and If possible, to see you." "There must be nothing about pos sibility," said Glynn, sternly. "Give me an unconditional promise, or 1 shall not leave you." Sho hesitated, and then said sol emnly, "I promise." "And I trust your promise," said Glynn. "On my part I promise not to make any attempt to track you ufitil I have received your letter, or rathor until I have seen you." There was a mom?nt'ssilence; then Elsie, who seemed to have recovered herself a little. Bald softly, "Then, good night!" "I cannot part with you yet!" cried Glynn, passionately; "I cannot bear to let you go alone. Tell me, did you recognizs me In tho omnibus?" "Not all at once; a little while after I had got In. At first, for some time, I thought you did not know me ? I hoped you did not.'* "I knew you at the door of the hotel, nnd followed you." Sho started. "I mupt go no./, I have stayed too long. Call a cab for mo and tell tho driver to go to thi Great Northern Station. I will dl? rect him after." To b? Continued. A Bomb lu ? Tenement. New York, Bpecir.l.?

Ho proposed that the two work In partnership, "he supplying tho ideas, ihc ether writing the Ideas up." The eillior took up Mr. Jacob's let ter and read from It: "My American namesake then told of a dream he had had, in which this partnership arrangement evidently nn twered satisfactorily; bo satisfactor ily, indeed, that publishers' checks came in so fast and furious that tho majority of them had to bo returned as ?unavailable'? a happy atato which none of us. or very few, ever rcacU." ?

The use of re-enforced concrete armor on warships has recently been suggested. An Italian engineer, Lor enzo d'Adda. has been led by the suc cess of concrete land fortifications, as revealed in the Russian-Japanese war, to construct armor plates of re enforced concrete, covered with thin plates of steel, ns a protection a;;alnst the immediate effects of the impact of shells. Concrete nrmor plates, even when re-enforced by stout and close ly Inlaid Iron bars, must obviously be much thicker than hardened steel armor, but ns tho specific rra\'ty of the material Is only one-third th:>! cf steel the weight of the armor need not be increased, while its cost may be very greatly diminished. The sub stitution of re-enforced concrete Tor steel armor on a first class battleship would effect a considerable saving. Tho practicability of the substitution will be decided by the result of ex periments. soon to be made, on the effect of fhot3 oa tho re-enforced concrcte plates. ? Scientific American.
