It was r\ot juity but love that the beautiful ymfig i^bl had a?likened in him. CHAPTER XVI. oonkI When Eric Brentwood returned to Brontwood Purk, he left Iiis heart be hind Iii ni in I ho keeping of the delir ious giri lyiug on the couch in the gipsy tent. He remembered every word slu- had uttered in her delirium, and thought with the gipsy that she must have had some strange experiences in her life. Site had talked of being locked in a room: of the treachery of someone she hail called Inez, and then of the kind ness of some doetor. Ihit uppermost in Erie Brent wood's mind were the wol ds she spoke in reference to him. "Ah, if she could only have said those words and meant them when she was conscious of her atlorauce," he murmured. Every day he meant to visit I ho cam)) aud do what ho could for the girl he loved, I'or he acknowledged to himself that he loved the unknown girl with all the fervor and passion of his natjuie. Never before had lie felt "for woman as he dltlfoT rW V:.'.'?^-sU.if_: lerer who had stolen his heart, and he knew that he would never be happy again)unless he won her for his own. Ho (did not think that slu-had heard the name of Brentwood before, but at* tributed her repetition of the name so many times solely to her delirious rav ines. Had he only known who she Wally was! Surely fate plays strange t'i lokssomotiuies. Here was the son of the friend lo w hom her mother had directed her to go ifor. of course, the reader knows that tliu girl was ?reta Danton), all unconscious of the identity of the girl who had w on his heart w ithout an ef fort. Had he been seeking sueh a person as Brota Danton, her strange words might have led him to suspect that she had heard of Kreut wood Park. Blithe supposed Breta Danton (?) tobe in the home of her grandfather, whither she had gone in the company of Cecil ]>oniplian; thcrofore he had no idea thai tlie little stranger knew aught of him or his mother. , Every morning and evening for a whole w eek found Eric Brentwood by her side, and although she was gain ing in strength she was still delirious. So often did she repeat the same words, that Eric knew i, all by heart, and as soon as she opened her eyes with the light of reason, he intended to ask her to tell to him her history; aud if she needed a friend he would be the one to act that part. lint he was. destined to be disap pointed in his hopes. On the eighth day he arose early as usual, and pre pared to visit Iiis little, love, as he called her to himself. Arriving at the CA1UP, the first one ? he cauio across was the gipsy Jock, Who was gathering sticks to kindle a ( fife. 'How is she this movaillg?" was the lirst question he aske<1. / "She's gone, sir," returned Jock. Ha l a thunderbolt dropped at his feet, Erie Brentwood would not have been more shocked or surprised. "Gone!" he exclaimed, when ha could Und ,his "voice. "Gone where? how ? Why, man, she was too ill, bo sides being out of her mind." "I know that, sir; but they insisted on taking her away with them." "They? Who?" he asked excitedly. "Why, the gent and lady that oame for her. The gent eaino last night just after you loft. He said lie had been hunting everywhere for her, and early Ibis morning, just at daybreak, lie and lady came with a earriago and took her with thorn." "Who were they ' Did they tell you ihoir names or hers?" asked Eric, vhoae excitement increased an he be tau to fear that she was in the hands bf enemies. "They said their name was Downcs, md the man claimed the sick lady as Ills wife. And tho worst of it is, sir, le said that sho wan crazy and had BSteaped from them, aud that it was fnot tho result of her illness at all?tho way sho talkod." "I don't believt) it," cried Eric. "From the words she said I believe that she has onemies, and that she has fallen into their hands." "Well, sir, if you remembor, ahe kept saying that'she was looked in a room, and, perhaps, utter all, sho wasn't toght in her head.' hioe tvjas as white-. ?el'.eve it!

"Fromfrew Vork, he said, but they had take?n country house about ten miles Ii,,, here, and it was from there j the luy escaped, the night of that 1 levr??) gtovui." 'lere. .lack, take this bill, and i sgie time 1 may need your services lideutiy that man and woman.'' ' "Why, sir!'' exclaimed the gipsy. "Do you still doubt that she is a luuatio?" "1" do,'" he returned. "Audi mean lo prove tha* doubt. Something within inc. call it instinct or what you will, tells mo that the poor little girl is in danger and needs a friend. I mean to lind out who and what are ihe persons who have carried her away, when any one might know she was in no condition to be moved, there is a mystery connected with hat child, and I mean to solve it if it akes me a lifetime," said Eric Brent wood, in a solemn and agitat ed voice. CHAPTER XVIF. "sin. Has BSOAFBD!" We will go buck to tin night of Bretn Dantou's escape from the house >f Xita. Tho raging of the tempest utterly drowned whatever noiso she may have made. Xita was so fright - ned that wild horses could not have bagged her from the corner where die crouched in fear and trembling, covering her eves to keep out the lightning. She gave no thought to tha girl upstairs, hut all dining tho nigh; from the time the storm com menced "iitil it ceased she never moved out 1 from that spot, Sho sat mm if paralyzed, only showing signs ui lite when r, clap of thunder harder than the rest shook the house. But at last the storm came to an end. as tdl things do. Then she rose to her feet and went to the window to peer out. Yes, it had even stopped mining, and a stray star could be seen here and there in the heavens. Satis fying herself that the danger was all over, her thoughts turned to her pris oner. "Uli!" she cried. "What a night I have [int in! I wonder how that girl iitood it? I dare .say she has fainted from fright. 1 came very near it my self. However, [must go up aud see." Taking the lamp in her hand, she ascended the stairs, and, unlocking the door, entered the room. The Hrst thing thin caught her eve was the strip of cotton tied front the bedpost to the bureau, and, going nearer, she saw that the window was up and that the carpet was soaked with Uriii_Jiul whore was the girl? She iotiked ai'tiundrTTpc^^iTir^TTi ln>V--hr-r grouching in some corner. The room wa> empty. Then she realized the "itnation for the first time. ".Tei'USAlem! She has escaped!'' -he ?ried. "Escaped on such a night as kvelnv.l! What a nerve'shomust have! But Carlos! When he bent s of this!'' And she turns a shade paler as she imagines his wrath. "But"'- with a hopeful expression- -?'perhaps she lias just made her escape, and I may be able to find her. But no! If that was the case the carpet would not be soaked. She bus been gone all night. She took lief chance while I was dow n stairs, scared out of my wits. Pwish T could overcome my terror of a storm: but I can't, and that's all there is of it. But won t Carlos be angry with me for this night's work! What shall t do?" she said again and again. "One thing n certain, I must let him know . That's all that I can do now. Alter all. i feel half glad that she has escaped. Hi s only the tear of what he w ill do that makes me shudder, I will send him a letter in the morning." Closing the window she look up her lamp innl descended the stairs to Mr.' room below, where she immcdiatcl; found pen and ink and began the 10' ter, so she could mail it as ;-o:>n as di broke-. "I WOllder where she went," kept saying to herself. "And su night! I wonder that she didn't >. dead with fright. How could she p, up the courage to go out in that sto I'h! Xo one could have induced i to do it!" And. with a shudder, she arose made ready to lie down until day w hen she must be up and doing. CHAPTER XVIIf. ON MiseillKF MKNT. Carlos Monteri called on cry morning at the postoflleo to see if there were any letters fov him, and on the day fol low ing Di cta's escape lie found one awaiting him, in Xita's handwriting. "Ah! What's up now, I wonder?" he said half aloud. As ho fottttd himself alone, he tore. men the envelope and began to read the closely written I nes. "Well, of all thi igs holy!" he ex claimed. "Aniccwntch Shehas kept on jthe'gil'lj 1 might have known tho idiot would have let her slip through her lingers. I did not intend that she should come to the front just yet.

A half-hour later, Carlos Monteri as cended the steps of Davensmero nnd sent his card "up to Miss Danton. He had lost no tpne in making him f- olf known to Inez, after finding out her destination, and now ho was nfrequont caller at Ravensinorc as tho friend of Miss Dantou. Sho hastily descended to tho draw ing-room upon receiving bin card. "Ah, yo* did well to make baste!" he said to her. "1 have bad newa to impart, Breta Danton has escapod." "What!" sho exclaimed, in sup pressed tones. "Yoi understood, did yon not ?" "Hut how? Von telil Jiw ther" was no chance of her escaping." Well, that i - ry - [--?

If she has not made herself known at Brent wood, f have no fear that wo shall not succeed." "Would it not be safer for me lo go nlono?" ho asked. "No, no; [ must go, too. I want to sec her myself.and have her put some where that she cannot escape again in a hurry." "Oil. well, it doesn't make any dif ference to me. Since you wish to go, be at the station at three. Of course, I will be there also. I leave you to mati?jf?, no t&l?! no one will suspect your destination. After idJ, this is more your affair than it is mine.'' "Oh,Heaven!" exclaimed [neve,when within the precinct of her own room. "I w ill not he defeated: I will not let that white-faced girl oust me from all this wealth: Bah: I would kill her first. I am not one to give up w ithout a Struggle, and I'll llnd a way j together out of my path. Carlos is I of more use to me than I thought, but once let me get Breta Danton in my ? lutches and then, Mr, CarlosMonteri, 1 can dispense with your services al together." Having made all her arrangements for her departure, three o'clock found her at the station awaiting the train. She had sent the coachman home, tell ing him that there was no necessity for him to wait until the train started, so there was no one to see her g.-t on the cars followed by Carlos Monteri. Ine/. felt that she could not wait bo the train to reach her destination, so eager was she to get Breta Danton within her power ore she made herself known to Erie Breutwood and his mother. "The chances are," she said to Carlos, "that, granting that she did not escape, she lost her way. How could she know which way to go to get to the park, especially on such a night a thv.f. > feel that we shall find her." "Bad /or you, if you don't," returned he, with a half-chnckie, J To bo continued. 1 How Knvelopos Were Invented. The invention of envelopes is within the memory of middle-aged persons, and was tho result of a Brighton (Eng land) stationer's endeavor to make lllH litore look attractive. He took a fancy Lor ornamenting his store windows witli high piles of paper, graduated from tho highest <?> tho cmaMost size, in use. To bring Iiis pyramid to a point, lie cut cardboard into very min? ujite squares, The ladies took those cards to be small-sized note paper, and voted it] "perfectly lovely." So great was tho demand that the station er found it desirable to cut paper the size HO much admired. But there was the ditlieulty. The little notes were s,, small that when folded there was no space for the address, so alter some thought the idea of an envelope pierced the stationer's brain. He had theiu cut by a inet.nl plate, ami soon, so great was tho demand, he commissioned a dozen house;; to manufacture them for him. From such small beginnings came thh important branch of the sta tionery business. The Inventive Ago. a nUSUMVUKM amu no AYUklhU.
