just a moment, while sho trembled
slightly, blushed, and drooped her head.
Ho continued: “I have never told you
this before in words, I know, but you
are a woman and must have read my
heart lou{J! ago. You arc all so clover at
that sort of thing. I am only a man,
and I have not been able to read yours
at all. I really do not know whether
you care for me or not. Once I thought
that you did. but of late—but no mat
ter. I will not go into that. In brief,
then, I have only to say that it would
make me supremely happy to know that
you would some day bo my w ife. In c::-
chaugo I offer you a lifelong devotion.
And now—I think—that is all I have
to say. Dora—little sweetheart—do

He had gently taken her hand winlo

ther resisted nor withdrawn it had en
couraged him to tho more affectionate
terms which he used at tho end of his
love speech. Sho hesitated awliii", then
gently disengaging her hand and look
ing at him with just a suspicion <.f a
tear in her eye sho said almost in a
whisper:
“Do yon e^ro very much?”
"Very much! I cannot tell yon how
much.” Ho tried to recapture her hand,
but sho eluded him. Again sho asked a
question:
"Money is not an object to vou In
this?”
"Miss Ilcmsen, you insult me.”
"No, no!” she said quickly. "You
misunderstand. I did not mean my
money. I can’t explain, yet yon must
answer my question. Would you mind
if—oh, how shall I say it? .Suppose I
did something that cost you a lot of
money”—
"Oh, I see,” exclaimed Mr. Ran
dolph, brightening up. "You mean you
are extravagant. Don’t let that bother
you a minute. You may cost mo as
much money as you can possibly spend.
I will never complain.”
Sho seemed much relieved, but sho
did not speak at once. Her eyes wan
dered away from him, and following
her gaze ho saw them reach and rest
upon Mr. Thaurct. A jealous pang dart
ed through his heart. Ho was about to
speak when sho turned to him and said
with suppressed emotion:
"I hope you will not bo angry with
mo and that you will not think evil of
mo. There is something I cannot ex
plain, yet which, if I could, you would
not object to. Hut until I can tell you
about it—I cannot—I cannot—give yon
an answer. Would you—would yon be
willing to wait?” There was a t<'no of
entreaty in her voice.
"How long?” asked Mr. Randolph,
still irritated, and wondering if tho
lomcthing which she could not tell was
lu anyway connected with Mr. Thaurct.
"Would yon mind—if I asked you to
wait till—well, say the new year?”
"That is a longtime, but if it is your
will, I must. ”
"Oh, thank you!” That was all sho
said, but there was a hint of rapture in
her speech, there were tears hi her eyes,
and for one brief ecstatic moment lie
thought that there was love in her
heart, and that that love was for him.
With an impulse that ho could not con
trol, and wdiich sho did not cheek, ho
orew her to him and softly touched her
Jijis with his own. He felt satisfied,
though she left him immediately and
went at once to Mr. Thanret, win greet
ed her with evident warmth. There is
something, magnetism, if you please,
but a something that binds two true
lovers’ hearts so that an impulse in tho
one excites an answering sensation in
tho other. The oddest fact in this con
nection is that, though one may fancy
himself deeply in love, he is not till ho
has received one of those instantaneous
messages which Cupid ticks over love’s
telegraph. After that he is enslaved.
His better judgment is. gone. Ho w ill
argue in the lonely hours of the night
that ho has made a mistake, that the
woman is not destined to make him
happy, that sho has this, that or the
other fault, but it counts for nothing
save that lie suffers. That one stab lias
slain his manhood, and bo cannot con
trol bin actions. As soon as ho meets
the woman again, act as she may, his
lovo is aflame once mere. She may ill
treat him, she may ignore him, it mat
ters not; sho attracts him.
Thud it was with poor Mr Randolph.
Throughout tho many weeks that fol
lowed he suffered much, lie called his
lovo all tho unpleasant thing.-; that jeal
ousy could suggest. Hut invariably the
recollection of that one inomnnf, when
sho had waned in that indistinct, inde
scribable way to have yielded her whole
self, her whole soul to him, would ffasii
across his mind, and id < neo kid reason
was silenced, and ho would say:
"Hio could not l:t;vo d< no Unit if s!.e

It was .about a month after the con
verse bin related when a somewhat
similar < no occurred between the same
young lady and Mr. Thanret. Ho had
called (ue afternoon, when Dora was
alone, and so had tho field to himself.
Ho spoke to her of all those things which
he had found most interesting to her,
and she was enjoying his society very
much, when suddenly, as twilight ap
proached and the room grow slightly
darkened, ho began to touch upon u
more tender theme. He spoke of him
self, of the wandering lifo that ho had
led, of tho fact that he was alone in tho
world without a living relative. Ho
mentioned, as though it were of no im
portance, that he was of noble blood.
Thu n ho drew a touching picture of a
man who, while really of a most affec
tionate nature, was compelled to live a
loveless life because there was none to
whom ho could turn for that sort of
comfort. Then ho asked her gently, very
gently, whether she had ever thought
upou tho subject herself, and whether
she bad felt a yearning for tho compan
ionship of one who would be all in all
to her. His pleading was very pretty to
listci t i, and sho heard him as though
much impressi d, but her reply was not
exactly v,hat he evidently hoped it
would have been.
“Ob, yes, ” said she, "I have thought
of all that in a vague sort of way. Hut,
yorr see, I have been in lovo with my
beautiful <,>110011 for so long that I can
not imagine a life without her. And
yet”—there ■was a tremor in her voice
—"I am going to lose her soon. Sho
will go away for awhile, and then I
fancy I shall feel that loneliness of
which you speak. So if you want to
hear my real ideas upon that subject,
you must wait till after the wedding.”
She said this lust with a tone of deep
meaning, and Mr. Thanret seemed to
accept her remark as a hint, for ho
changed tho subject. Shortly afterward
lie went away. As ho walked down tho
avenue there was almost a triumphant
mrilo upon his face. This, however, was
not reported to Mr. Harms, for tho spy
was behind and could not see his face.
It was only a few nights after this
that Mr. Mitchel was walking homo
from the club, aeeompaied by Mr. Than
ret, when tho latter turned the conver
sation upon tho Miss Remsens.
"They e( rtuinly are charming girls,”
said 1 “but ouo would need to be rich
to afford the luxury of marrying one of
them. I snpposo-they have nothing un
til the death of the mother. ”
Mr. Mitclirl thought that ho under
stood iho object of tho question, and for
reasons of his own was glad to reply
to if.
"Oh, not at all,” said he. "The fa
ther left each of them a handsome sum—
$.■>0,000, in fact—which they tire to re
ceive as soon a:s married. The hulk of
the money, of course, went to the w ill
ow, but her interest is only for life, and
then it is to be equally divided between
tin: girls. I think it is somewhere near
$500,000.”
"You are a fortunate fellow. I wish
I had your luck. ”
"My dear Thanret, can a man of your
intelligence believe in such a stupid
thing as luck? It no more exists than
its antithesis, ill luck. Everyman suc
ceeds or not, according to his own skill
in guiding his life. Now you envy me
my marriage to Emily, when certainly
her sister Dora is just as charming and
richer too.”
"Miss Dora is charming, true, but
that does not make me a successful suit
or. Hut what do yon mean by saying
that she is richer?”
“Why, you see, her sister is devoted
to her and has promised her a gift of
$10,000 the day sho marries, upou one
condition.”
"And that condition Is?”
"That the husband shall be satisfac
tory to her. ”
There was a silence for several min
utes, finally broken by Mr. Thaurct:
"Well, in the light of your approach
ing marriage, which will make you tho
only man in tho family, I presume your
influence would count. If I should wish
to marry Miss Dora, I suppose you
would favor my suit?”
"That is not a new idea to mo, I as
sure you. All I need say is that when
you gain Dora’s consent you shall have
mine. ”
"Thank you. ” Mr. Thaurct said this
with suppressed emotion, and after that
neither man spoke until they said good
night at Mr. Mitchol’s hotel. Mr. Thaa-
ret, upon reaching his own room, smok
ed a cigar and blew little ringlets over
Es head, thus occupying himself till
long after midnight. He seemed to b 3
building castles, and from tho satisfied
expression on his face they mint have
boon grand ones.
Thus matters stood when tho day
dawned upon which tho marriage was
to occur. Everything was hustle and
:onfusion tit tho homo of the Remsens.
The hridermaids arrived curly, helped
to dick the bride, and then stood around
in delighted admiration. Dorn was ia
vet us.ion. Two magnificent bouquets
had been sent to her, one entirely of
mi n it Imi pinks, from Mr. Randolph
tiii'l t!ii’ other a fine a•sortment of cut
fiowen, among which were tlnoo hca'i-
td'nl ealla lilies, tied with li ng wh.te
satin rilih-nis The,so were the gilt of
.Mr. '1 hnurct. Mm Ktinsl uihniidug the
ftowi r: hT a few moiiients, then tender
ly untied the pinks, and, taking a few
of each color, mudo a small bouquet,
hi 1. .a 1 jutl at the uucuiua of
Mr. Randolph, however, th ■ groom's
best man, noted enrei .iliy that she car
ried dowers and that tin y \.i re nut his.
Subsequently she, in reply to a question
from him, admitted who had i .-ut thorn,
and though he made no remark he el-pt
little that night. Thus easily mvn suf
fer.
Emily was dressed—but then', why
should 1 attempt to describe what only
a Worth could have furnished and only
wealth could afford? if yen can imag
ine the most beautiful shade and qual
ity of pearl colored silk, and add to that
the finest of lace, and to that the must
marvelous profusion of tiny ribbon bows,
then, as I hinted, recall that tho genius
of Worth designed tho garment, perhaps
you will imagine all that I could tell
you. At least I may say that as the
bride entered the church on tho arm of
that magnificent man, Mr Van Rawls-
-si uli

tou, who, as her father’s dearest friend,
had been invited to take his plac 1 , ev
ery woman present took one lingering
look at the woman and her gown and
then turned to her neighbor to express
her admiration. Moreover. I will say
that tho sum of all that praise was not
enough fully to describe Emily Reuiseu,
who looked every inch ";i royal queen,
as Dora delightedly told everyone for
years afterward.
Hut after tho bridal party had paced
people naturally looked for the gro m,
and they wondered not to sec him.
Whispering occurred, and inquiries wi re
made without satisfactory response.
Some thought that there had hi i n a
mistake, and that the signal had been
given to the bride and her friends too
soon. It was an awkward situation, be
cause, of course, once having reached
the altar, they could not turn and leave
the church again. Con.seqn' titly they
simply stood and waited. Every onn :it
length grew so nervous that save tor
tho < rgan there gradually stole cv: r tho
whole edifice a solemn silence. People
were awed, and fearing at last, ns tho
minutes passed and still the groom did
not appear, that something dreadful
either had or was about to occur they
almost hold their breath.,. A few inti
mate friends went out on tiptoe, but the
door leading to tho vestry room was
guarded by a man in livery, who would
say nothing but that no ouo could bo
admitted.
Meanwhile an exciting scene, though
a brief one, was being enacted behind
that door. .lust as the two parties were
about to start on their way to the altar
a carriage had driven up furiously, and
from it had alighted Mr. Haines. He
quickly entered the building and went
straightway into tho vostryrooui, brush
ing aside the man tit tho door. Once in
the presence of the groom dud his gen
tlemen attendants, he astonished them
by saying:
"Thank God, I am not too late.”
"Are you quite sure?” said Mr
Mitchel, with provoking calmness.
“I have come here to stop this wed
ding.” said tho detective, a little excit
ed.
“You mean to delay it. That you are
doing now, as I should be on my way to
the altar to join my bride. ”
"I t'dl you, I come to stop this wed
ding altogether, and”—
"One moment, Mr. Harnes. There is
no timo to lose, and I do not wish you
to speak too openly. Let me talk for
you. You have reasons, which I can
guess, for wishing mo not to bo married.
Am I right?”
“I have said as much. ”
“If 1 can prove to you that you gain
nothing by hindering this ceremony,
will you allow it to proceed and tin i
net as you may please afterward instead
of now?”
"Of course, but that is impossible."
"Nothing in impossible, Mr Harnes
Read tbi t if you please.”
Taking from his pocket a folded pa
per, lie handed it to Mr. Harnes, who
took it nervously, read it and looked
up amazed.
"This is nn outrage, Mr Mitchcl,
and”—
"Ami yon have given mo your word
not to further interfere tit this time. Jf
you will meet mo at my hotel at 2
o’clock, I will answer whatever other
demands you may have upon mo. 1
think you know that you may trust mo
to keep the engagement. Now, gentle
men, wo will proceed.” Saying which,
ho and his friends tiled out of the room
and down tho aisle of tho church, much
to the relief of tho immense timing
awaiting them, leaving Mr. Harm's ut
terly discomfited. The eeieniony thin
proceeded without further delay, and in
half an hour Mr. and Mrs. Letiy Mitch
el were taken in tin ir carriage to the
Fifth Avenue hotel. Mr. Ratite;; did not
wait to si c* them Dave tho cathedral,
but biuri'-d away almost iiatm'lia.ely
after having read the dueiiuient widt h
Mr. Mitchel had humled to him. 'ibis
was a i ertifieato of marriage dated the
day before, ami p< rformed at t lie may

detect ivu had for »topping the marriage
"I t.m’.e hoie,” saul the (Tirl, "so
that I could report to you tho minute
you got Imre. There is no timo to lose.”
"Why, what is up?"
"Your plan about my potting infor
mation from the Hie t Orange post office
did unt work. The man said that, though
ho would like to sc rvo you, ho was
afraid it might be construed into turn-,
poring with the mails: that yon would
need an order from tho postmaster gen
eral. 1 went to work then on the other
lino and began a systematic examina
tion of every house in tho place. It was
hard work, but at last I found the child.
You don’t want details now, because
sho has bron taken away again. Mitch
el went down yesterday and brought her
to New York. ’’
"Why did you not follow him and too
where he took her?”
"I did, and this time I am sure ho
did not suspiet that I was after him.
Ho took the child to tho Remsous. ”
"To tho Remsens? What cun that
mean?”
“I don’t know. Hut Mitchel and Mitts
Rotnscn tiro to be married at M. Rat-
rick's cathedral at 10 o’clock this morn-
ing. ”
"Not if I can stop it,” replied the
detective, and bo hastened up to tho
church with the result told in the last
chapter.
ITnmpfly lit o’clock Mr. Barnes
j’T nted him.-elf at the Fifth Avt-nno
hotel accompanied by Mr. Ncuilly.
They were a ! i d to go up to Mr. Mitch-
el’s apartments, ami there they were
greeted by that gentleman as affably ns
thouyh they had been of his wedding
party Indeed lie began the conversation
in lather a jcmlar way, saying:
"Ah! Mr Harms, delighted that
now 1 can entertain you more at my
leisure. T.ais morning, you see, I was
in a great hnr»y. You called at a very
inopportune time, and I am afraid that
1 was nitht r ubtapt. ”
•'Mr. Miiehcl, 1 am not in the humor
for nouaeziM 1 . This is a very serious
visit, 1 a.-ruiv von. This gentleman is
Mr. Neuilly of New Orleans, and he
ha; come all this distance to aid the
cti'.ir” of jus', tee. ”
‘‘Debghn d to meet you, Mr. Neuilly,
I am sure, ” raid Mr. Mitchcl, approaeh-
im' and extending his hand so cordially
that tiie eider man took it, though ho
had th i got that he would rather han
dle hot coals than the hand of the man
who ho supposed was guilty of wrong
ing the daughter of his old friend in
tile south. Mr. Mitchel did not seem to
notice his agi’atien, but. Legging them
to 1) seated, he himself took a comfort
able chair and continued, "Now, Mr.
Harm s, 1 am wondering ’-f it is n c-siblo
that you have traced my wifi ’s ruby as
far away as New Or lean's?”
"1 have not Li en looking for it. I sup-
no. e you knew why I wished to stop
your marriage?"
"Why, no; not precisely What was
your reason?”
"If you do not know it, why did you
get married yi .sterdny?”
"I might reply that it is often done,
bat I will be honest and tell you that
such a proci dure never occurred to mo
till I heard that yon were coming home.
Thou, you see, I thought that you might
take the idea into your head—you do
get odd. not;jus, you must admit—that
f. ought not to get married just now. I
know you well enough to believe that if
you did harbor a thought of that nature
yonv ouldrn t hesitate to interfere. I
did you no injustice there, for that is
just what you tried to do, you sec. Coo-
scijijoui ly, as I had set my heart on bo-
icy married in the cathedral precisely
at th" time appointed, I just took the
hail by the horns and persuaded my lit
tle giil to marry mo yesterday. Thtit is
my story in full, I assure you. Now,
what was your object?"
"Yon know it very well, and all this
yarning is pure bluster. You know well
enough that 1 wanted to use Miss Emily
Ri zzisen as a witness against you, and
that I eon Id not do so after she became
Mrs. Mitchel. ”
"Uii! Well, yes; I admit that idea
was in my muid, Mr. Harnes. And now
—what are you going to do about it?"
"Izi the first place I shall arrest you
for abducting the child who was in tho
care of Rose Montalbou. ” Mr. Harnes
expected some surprise from his udver-
tary, but ho was disappointed.
"Yes,” said he, "and thou?”
"Then I shall compel yon, through
the court, to reveal her present hiding
place and to produce her. ”
"I thiuk you might have trouble to do
that were it not that I do not object to
it. In fact, wo will reverse your order
of things and begin with the production
of the child. Emily!” In answer to his
call his wife came into the room, bring
ing with her a beautiful girl. Her hus
band arose, and taking the little ouo by
the hand coolly approached Mr. Neuilly,
and said: "Rose, this is Mr. Neuilly.
Ho was a dear good friend to yoor moth
er, and has come all tho way from New
Orleans to see you. 1 think ho would
like to kiss you, would you not, Mr
Ncuilly?”
That gentleman seemed much moved.
To him the vision of loveliness stand
ing demurely before him brought hack
the memory of tho long ago. Mho rc-
mindul him of another little girl whose
growth into budding womanhood lie
had watched tendeily, having in his
youth loved her mother, t lie grand par
ent of tho child hi fore him. Ilis suit
laid n >t liecu sun cieful, and for lovo of
that woman ho had remained a bachelor
all his iktj.s. Now he could se.i eliaug-
ing exiles.-ie::s iu this young face,
which reminded him of both those worn
on who had been dear to him. Without
a word he drew her toward him, and
kissed her onto. Then ho aroso, still
holding her l;uud, anu led her toward

first symptom of indigestion,
biliousness, dizziness, distress
after eating, or depression of
spirits, will surely and quickly
remove the whole difficulty.
Price, 50 cents a box.

| tained of nearest druggist; or
