A WOMAN IN IIIS rATH. Mr. Sutberlaud was busily engragod with a law paper when his son enter- bis presence, but at sight of that anti's face he dropped the paper with an alacrity which Frederick was too aunch engaged with his own thoughts to notice. •■Father,” he began without pream ble or excuse. "I am in serious and immediate need of $050. I want it so much that I ask you to make me a check for that amount tonight, eon ncious as i am that you have every rigid to deny me this request and that my debt to you already passes the bound of presumption on my part and indulgence on yours, i cannot tell you why I want it or for what That be longs to my past life, the consequences of which I have not yet escaped, but that you will not be the loser by this material proof of coutidenee in me 1 feel bound to state, as I shall soon be in a position to repay all my debts, among which this will necessarily -stand foremost.” The old gentleman looked startled and nervously lingered the paper he had let fall. “Why do you say you will soon be in a position to repay meV What do yon nx-fn by that?" Tin- flush which had not yet subs id ed from the young man’s face ebbed •lowly away as he encountered Ids fa tiler’s eye. "I mean to work.” he murmured **1 mean to n-nke a man of myself as soon as possible” The look wlneh Mr. Sutherlaud gave him was mole inquiring than sympa thetic. “And you rued tins money for a Start." said be Frederick bowed. He seemed to be losing tin* faculty of speceh The clock over the mnnlel had told off live of the precious in -i.ients. “1 will give it to you.” said his fa ther. and he drew out his < lieokbook. But be did i. ! hasten to open it Ills eyes still rested <ui his son “Now.” murmured the young man Tin •re is a train leaving socn. I wish to get it away on that tram. IIis father frowned with natural dis trust “1 wish you would confide in me.” said tie. Frederick did not answer. 'The hands of the dock were moving on “I will give it. hut I should like to know what for.” “Impossible!" groaned the young man. starting as he heard a step on the walk without “Your need has become strangely itn- peraUve. proceeded the other, “lias Sliss I’age”- FrederieU took a step forward and laid his hand on his father’s arm “It is not for her.” he whispered. “It goes into other l ands." Mr Sutherland, who had turned over the doeument as his sen appronehed. breathed easier Taking up his pen he dipped it in the ink. Frederick watch ed him with ever whitening ebeek The step on the walk had mounted to the f rent door “Nine hundred and fifty?” inquired the father “Nine hundred and fifty," answered the son The Judge, with a last look, stooped over the book The hands of the clock pointed to a quarter to Id “Father, i have my whole future in which to thank you." cried Frederick, •eizing the check his father held out to him and making rapidly for the door. “1 will lie back before mid night." And he flung himself down •tairs Just as the front door opened and Wattles stepped in “All!” exelalmed the latter as his eye fell on the paper fluttering in the oth it’s hand. “1 expected money, not pa per." “The paper is good." answered Fred erick. drawing him swiftly out of the bouse. “It lias my father’s signature ujnju it ” “Your father’s signature?” “Yes.” Wattles gave It a look, then slowly •hook ills head at Frederick. “Is it ns well done.” said he. “as the one you tried to pass off on I irmly ?" Frederick cringed and for a moment looked as if the struggle was too murh for him Then lie rallic i Mid eying Watties firmly said: “Yon have a ri^lit to yjur distrust but you are <»n the wrong track. Wat ties. What ! did once it would be im- powdhic for me to do again, and I Iio|n» 1 may live to prove It As for that dieck, I will soon prove Its value in ymir eyes.

No tricks with me or my friendship may not bold. Meantime 1 cash this check tomorrow.” And he swung away tbrougu the night with a grand opera selection on his lips. Frederick looked like a man thor- bughly exhausted when the final echo of this hateful voice died away on the hillside. For the last 20 hours he had been the prey of one harrowing emo tion after another, and human nature could endure no more, but demanded rest. But rest would not come. The posi tion In which he found himself be tween Amabel and the man who had Just left was of too threatening a na ture for him to dwell upon any thought save how to avoid the doom menacing him. Hiding himself in his room, he sought a way of escape. But one pre sented itself. It was a cowardly one. hut anything was better than to stand his ground against two such merciless antagonists had arisen in his path. So he resolved upon flight. Packing up a few necessaries and writing a letter, which he left on his table to be given to ids father In the morning, he made his way down the stairs of the now darkened house to a door opening upon the garden. To his astonishment he found it unlocked, but giving little heed to tills in his excite ment he opened it with caution and. with a parting sigh for the sheltering home he was about to leave forever, stepped from tin* house he no longer felt worthy to inhabit. His intention was to take the train at Porehester. and that he might reach that place without inconvenient encounters he had decided to make use 'as far as possible (f the path through the fields. This led him ifortl; and along the ridge that overlooks the read running around the base of the hills. P.ut lie did not think of this or indeed of anything but to step on quickly, fur it was too desirable for him to leave on the early m irning train for him to forfeit this clianee of doing this by any unnecessary lagging P.ut he was not destined to take that or any other train out of Porehester at pres out. for when he reached the fence dividing Mr. Sutherland’s grounds from tlir.se of his adjoining neighl'ir he saw drawn up in the moonlight just tit the point where lie had intended to leap the fence the form of a woman with one hand held out to stop him. It was Amabel. ' ' 'j, A ,. 1'' -v' iw-'Jy.

Are you searching for flowers in the woods, and is that valise you carry the re ceptacle in which you hope to put your botanical specimens?” With a savage gesture he dropped the valise and took her fiercely by each shoulder. “Where have you hidden my mon ey?” he hissed. “Tell me or”- “Or what?” she asked, smiling into his face in a way that made him lose ids grip. “Or-or. 1 cannot answer for myself.” he went on. stammering. “Do you think 1 can endure everything from you because you are a woman? No: 1 will have those bills, every one of them, or show myself your master Where are they..you ilien mate fiend?" It was an unwise word to use. but she did not seem to heed it. “Ah." she said softly and with a lin goring accent, as if Ids grasp of her had been a caress to which she was not entirely averse. “I did not think you would discover its loss so soon When did you go to the woods.

Do I look like a babbling infant, Freder ick?” Her face, which she had lifted to his in saying this, was so illumined, both by her smile, which was strangely en chanting for cue so evil, and by the moonlight which so ethcrealizes all It touches, that he had to think of that other pu.er, truer face he had left at the honeysuckle porch to keep down a last wild impulse toward her, which would have beeu his undoing, both lu this world aud the next, as he kuew. “Or. do I look simply like a woman?” she went uu, seeing the impression she had made, aud playing upon It, "A woman who understands herself and you and all the secret perils of the game we are both playlug? If I am a child, treat me as a child; but if I am a woman’’— “Stand out of tny way!” he cried, catching up his valise uud striding furiously by her. “Woman or child, you shall know that I will not he* your plaything to be damned in this world and the next!” "Are you bound for the city of de struction?" she laughed, not moving, but showing such coutideuce iu her power to hold him back that he stop pod iu spite of himself. “If so. you are taking the direct road there and have only to hasten. But you hud bet tor remain in your father's house, even if you are something of a prisoner there in company with my very in significant self. The outcome will be more satisfactory, even if you have to share it with me.” “And what course will you take," he asked, pausing with his hand ou the fence, “if I choose destruction without you rather than perdition with you?” “What course? Why. I shall tell Dr. Talbot just enough of what I know to prove you to he as desirable a witness iu the Impending inquest as myself. The result 1 leave to your judgment. But you will not drive me to this ex tremity. You will come hack and”— “Woman. 1 will never come bac k. 1 shall have to dure your wor-t in two weeks, aud I will begin by daring you now I’*— But he did not leap the fence, though lie made a move to do so. for at that moment a party of tnou came hurrying by on the lower road, oue of whom was heard to say: "1 will bet my head that we will put our hand on Agatha Webb’s murderer tonight. The man who shoves -SlM bills around so heedlessly shomd not wear a beard so lung it leads to detection.” It was the coroner, the constable. Knapp and Abel en route to the forest road on which lived .lolm and James Znbel. Frederick and Amabel confronted each other and after a moment's si lence- ti;rned as if by a common im pulse toward the house. "What have they got iu their heads?" queried she. “Whatever it is it may serve to occupy them till the * wo weeks of your probation have passed." He did not answer A ucw difficulty had entered his already overcrowded life I.et us follow the party now winding up the hillside. In a deeply wooded spot on a side road stood a little house to which John and James Zuhel had removed when their business on tin* docks bad tcrnii tinted. There was no other dwelling of greater or lesser pretension on that road, which may account for the fact that none of the persons now approach ing it had been in that neighborhood for years, though it was by no means a long walk from tin* village* in which they all led such busy lives. The heavy shadows cast by the woods through wlii Ji the road mean deled were not without their effect upon tin* spirits of the three men pass ing through them, so that long before they reached the opening In which the Zabel cottage stood silence bad fallen tilKiti the whole party. Dr. Talbot es pecinlly looked as if he little relished this late visit to Ids old friends and not till they caught a glimpse of the long, sloping roof and heavy chimney of the Zabel cottage did not shake oft the gloom incident to the nature of his errand. “(Jentlenien.” said he. coming to a sudden halt, “let us understand each other We are about to make a call on two of our oldest and most respecta ble townsfolk. If In the course of that call I choose to make mention of the F-’O bill left with 1 Alton, well and good, but if not you are to take ray reticence as proof of my own belief that they had nothing to do with it." Two of the party bowed. Knapp only made no sign "There is no light In the window." observed Abel “What if we find them gone to bed?" “We will wake them.” said th- eon stable "I cannot go hack without hein«, myself assured that no more money hke that given to Lolon re mains in tills house " "Very well." remarked Knapp and going up to the door before him he struck a rcKotindtug knock that was startling in that place of silence But loud as tlie summons was it brought tin answer Not only the moon lighted door but the little windows on each side of it remained shut, and there was no evidence that the knock had been heard "Zabel! John Zabel!" shouted the const a I le, stepping around the side of the bouse “Het up. my good friend*, and let an old crony iu James! John!

Not only had the weeds beeu allowed to grow over the doorstep, but from the unpainted front itself bits of board bad rotted away, leaving great gaps USES FOR DEERSKIN. GBlde* Who CuderstMud Tkoroaghly How to Tara It to Good Service. Guides and the native hunters of the Adirondack region have a variety of uses for the deer they kill. There are *tlll a good many hunters who know bow to tan the deer’s bide aud a few about the window ledges and at the ' who use as one of the tanning agents base of the sunken and well nigb top- liquid extracted from the brain of the pliug chimney. The moon flooding the i roof showed up all these imperfec tions with pitiless insistence, aud the torn edges of the green paper shades that half concealed the rooms withiu were plaiuly to be seen as well as the dismantled knocker which hung by ! one nail to the old cracked door. The vision of Knapp, with his ear laid , against this door, added to the forlorn and sinister aspect of the scene aud , gflve to the constable, who remembered the brothers in their palmy days, when they were the life and pride of the town, a by no queans agreeable sensa tion as he advanced toward the de tective and asked him what they should do now. “Break down the door.” was the un compromising reply. “Or wait! The windows of country houses are seldom fastened. Fet me see if 1 cannot en ter by some one of them.” "Better not." said the coroner, with considerable feeling. "Let us exhaust all other means first.” And lie took hold of the knob of the doe to shake j it. when to his surprise it turned, aud the door opened. It had uot been j locked. Rather taken aback by this, he hesi- ■ tated. But Knapp showed no such scruples. Without waiting for any ' man’s permission he glided in and step- 1 ped cautiously, but without any delay, into a room the door of which stood wide open before him The constable | was about to follow when he saw ; Knapp come stumbling back with a face whiter than his own. “Devilish work.” he muttered and : drew the others in to see. Never will any of them forget that sight. They had not as yet recovered any more than the mass of their towns- l folk from the shook of seeing Agatha ' Webb lying iu her idood on the o!d horsehair sofa. But this this was so j unexpected aud so deplorable that, j hardy men though they were, they sue- j cutnbed without being able to resist the over]towering impression made up ou them. On the floor near the entrance lay one brother in a streak of moonlight which showed every feature of his worn and lifeless face, and at a table drawn up In the center of the room sat the other, rigid in death, with a book clutohed iu bis baud. Both had been dead son.e time, aud on the faces and in the aspect of either was visible a misery that added its own gloom to tin* pitiable and grew some scene and made the shining of the great white moon, which filled every corner of the bare room, seem a mock ery well nigh unendurable to those who contemplated it John dead in his chair! James dead on the floor! What could be sadder and what more pile Otis? Knapp, who of them all would natur ally feel fids least, was of course the person to speak first. “Roth wear long beards." said he. “but this one on the floor was doubt less Foton’s customer Ah!” he cried, pointing at the table, ns be carefully crossed tiie floor “Here is the bread, and"- Even he had ids moments of feeling The appearance of that leaf had stunned him: one corner of it had been gnawed off. “A light! Let us have a light!” cried Mr Fenton, speaking for the first time since ids entrance. “These moonbeam* an* horrible. See how they cling to the bodies as if they delighted iu lighting up these wasted and shrunken forms." “Could it have been hunger?” began Abel, tremblingly following Knapp’s every movement as he struck a match and lit a Inutern which he had brought iu his pocket. “God help us all If it was." said Fen ton in a secret remorse no one hut Dr. Tall>ot understood. “But who eotiid have believed It of men who were once prosperous. Are you sure that one of them lias gnawed this bread? Cou'd It uot have been”— “These are the marks of human teeth.’ observed Knapp, who was ex aminlng the loaf carefully “1 declare, it makes me very uncomfortable, not withstanding it's iu the line of regular experiences" And he laid the bread down hurriedly. Meantime Mr Feuton. who had been bending over another portion of the table, turned and walked away to the window "I am glad they are dead." he mut tered "They have at least shared the fate of their victims.

From the tanned skin many articles of use are made. The thick hide from the neck of an old buck Is excellent for moccasins, and the art of moccasin making still lingers here among those whose ancestors learned it from the Indians. The men and wo men of French-Canadian extraction are especially apt in household arts of this sort, learned from the savages. Cheap as factory made gloves are, a few women of the region still cut and stitch buckskin gloves. Whole suits of buckskin are made by expert women of these parts. Such suits were once much used by the thrashers, who traveled from one mountain farm to another to thrash the small oats crop of the.region. A buckskin suit is good for a dozen years of hard usage, and with care will last a lifetime. It is remarkably warm and 'mpervious to water. One rarely sees nowadays such a suit \. ith the hair on. A garment with the hair on to be serviceable must be made from the skins of deer just com ing into the “blue." as the hunters ex press it, for then the hair is short smooth and tough. Later it is long and brittle. It Is necessary, too, if such a suit is to he of uniform color, that it be made from corresponding parts of skins from deer of about the same age and shot about the same time. Even if the law did not stand in the way. it would be difficult in these times to shoot in a single week enough deer of the same age to yield the desired quantity of hide of uniform color, so a deerskin suit with the hair on is rarely seen. One still does see. how ever. moccasins with hair inside and out. and very soft. warm, inviting slippers they make. Raccoon skin now furnishes cheap fur garments-in these parts, and winter residents buy or hire overcoats of coonskin to brave the January winds. •n- tlwn fon i .-i|ill II.dl*. i n!art). 1 i 'tn-iley I ntll 111' .n;.! run Ip 'll., 1 i * -|)|| iPul. fl li mucous -ui fner ole Iu m 1 re . do lin - .
