" '"J>rrl?l??. l?y llobert Bo?ner'a Sons.) CHAPTER XIX. plotting. . Upon arriving at tho house of Nita, Monteri and bis companion questioned her closely about tho oscapo of hor (prisoner, and after hearinv. from her own lips all she had before '.-y ritten to him, thoy decided to lose no time in tracing the missing girl, lest ?ho should reaoh her friends and learn tbo fraud that had been practiced upon them by tbo girl who had provon horself so treaehorous. Monteri mado inquiries of every ono he met couoorniug tho girl, but no one seemod to have scon such a person as ho described. i But it scorns that at times fortune is wont to favor tho wicked; for, after two day?' search, Carlos Monteri learned that a girl had boon found in an unconscious condition, and was a*, that time lyiug ill in tho gipsy camp. This ho learned from a younger mem ber of the tribe, who, upon inquiry, told all ho know of the rescue of the girl and of hor personal appearance. He thon found tbo man Jock, who related the circumstance, and told him that she was his wife, who had escaped, and that she was a hopeloss lunatic, although not violent. Accordingly, the following morning. Monteri drove to tho camp in company with Inez, aud, as wo have already learned, took the delirious girl away with him, not withstanding the protest of the gipsy that sho was in uo condition to bo moved. And thus Ureta Danton again fell \nto tho power of her enemies, but not beforo she had unconsciously won tbo heart of ono who had vowod to search for and fiud her, feeling within him that she needed a friend and protector. Monteri decided to take the girl somewhere near Ravonsmere, where be could watch over her. He did not intend to trust Nita a second time. As the train boro them on their journey to Ravonsmere, Inez, whoso mind had boon busy thinking, turned to her companion, who supported tho siok girl, and said, in a low tone: "Ah, Carlos, I have it! You know the old deserted house half-way be tween tbo station and Ravonsmere?" "Yes, I remember 1 saw it," he re plied. "It is tho very place for you to take her. No ono will rent the placo be cause they say.it is haunted. I heard Cecil Doniphau say so only a few days ?go." "Very well. Where cau I get the 'key?" he asked. "You do not need a key. You eau easily effect au entrance from the back part of the* house; besides, it would hardly do Tor you to waste time in hunt ing up the owner, for I don't believe he is nromul bore at present. No one ever goes near tho place, so you need have no fear ef being discovered." "All right. This your plan. If it bring? failure, don't blamo mo."' "I haxono fear of failure now tint I havo herjinder my thumb," sho re. plied in 1 voice filled with triumph. "Don" bo too sure," he said with a peculiar ook in his beady Cym.""" ' "What do, .yvxr uteau?" she asked ouioVJv ' # ' . 1 mean, my dear, that I have not (uad my revenge yet." !? "Still harping on that?" ?ho ex claimed indignantly. "Ah, well, lot that drop for the pres ent. As I told you before, as long as you obey mo, I'll let you enjoy your ill-gotten fortune." She turned her face toward the wiu dow to conceal from him the look of malignant hatred which sho could not prevent from shining from her eyes. To herself she was saying: "Threaton mo as much as you please, Carlos Monteri, but my timo will come; and when it doos, beware! We shall rseo which is tho shrewder, you or I. (You shall not come between mo and my aspirat ions. Iam tho acknowledged granddaughter of old Gerald Danton, and as such I moan to inherit bis (?wealth. Ho is old and will not live very long, and-" ? Her musings were interrupted by Monteri, who addressed her: "Sho shows signs of reviving from tho drug we gave her beforo starting." "I hope sho will not until we reach our destination." "I don't think she will, a^ we are almost there now," returned Carlos; then added: "Of course, you must leave the car alone, while f will see that my wifo (?) is conveyed to hor future residence." "You must not biro auy one to take yon there. That might mean ruin," put in Inez. "Do you take me for a fool?" he sneered, as tbo train came to a pause. CHAPTER XX. ";* b&thkh ??3P10IOOS. As tho tram came to a pause, the de lirious girl had somewhat revived from the stupor to which tho drug adminis tered by Monteri had reduced her. And when, leaving tho oar, Carlos took her arm, he bad little difficulty in guid ing her stops, although she tottored from sheer weakneos. * Inea preceded him, and turned in n:i 'Opposite direction from tho road lead ing: to tho so-called haunted house, whife Carlos slowly walked tho victim of their plots to-< aid tho aforesaid road. Tho old house, which ho intended to make the prison of Rrcta Danton, was not more than a mile and u ball from the station; and, thinking it un safe to biro n conVeyavOS of any kind, he determined lo walk. If tuo girl's strength gave out, he told himself, bo OOUld cavry hor. But, to his surprise, slm kept up ad mirably; but no words had left her lips through all that tiresome journey. She walkod as if in a dreamland by tho vacant stare of her eyes any one could toll that her mind was unsettled. They had mot uo ono <|i the road, and sho submissively wallhd . by his side into the old ivy-cov<?ed houso which was to be her placo oYnbode for some timo to come. tl Inez, took a roundahouWtroiul to reach Ravensmero, which Icttikiirough a dense woodland.

I haven't much' t'oith in you, with youv purring, sneaky ways, and if I had my way you would not be nt Rnvousmere." Gathering up his game-hap and shouldering his gun. he set out for homo. It Wa9 toward dusk when he lightly ran up the veranda steps, and fell back iu well-feigned surprise when he saw his cousin seated beside his uncle. "Why, cousin mine, what brought you home so soon?" "Oh, I got homesick! r have got ten so attached t? Rnvensinere and dear grandpapa that I longed to re turn; so 1 took the train and left my friends, promising to make them n longer visit nt some future time." "And did you walk all the way from tho station. "Yes; and I found the road very dusty, too." "Did you follow the straight road from the station to Ravensinere?" he asked nonchalantly. "Certainly. You may be sure I came by tho shortest possible route," she returned sarcastically. "You're right. My common souse should have told me that," he said, with a laugh that wns half n chuckle, while a peculiar gleam shot from hi..' eyes. "Did you have a good day's sport, Cecil?" askod his uncle. '? ./'Yes, very good, indeed. I'm glad that I took your advice and wont gun ning, for I was verily getting the blues," replied ho. As he passed up'to his room to chaugo his clothes, a malicious chuckle left his lips. "Aha! My pretty cousin, T was not far wrong when I thought you had an object in walking two milosout of your path! If you had not, you would not have said that you came by the direct road. Now what was your object? 1 intend to watch you, my dear. That hurried journey was not taken for nothing, and as for your visiting Breutwood Park, I dou't believe it. However, that is an easy matter to timl out. If I can Qud out anything about you that will turn my uncle against you, be sure I'll not spare the time nor energy that may bo required to reach that end. Ravensmere is a fine estate, aud I do not intend that it shall slip through my lingers without an effort on my part. I've felt that the girl is not all that she pretends to bo, and if I succeed iu turning ray uncle ngainst her, I'll not have labored in vain. I must keep my eyes open, and if auy more such trips are taken, I'll know your destination, or my name's not Cecil Doniphau. In the meantime, I'll make it my special business to make inquiry relative to your last one. I dare say she has been off somewhere with that fello ' she calls George Bertram. However, I mean to find out. If I am any judge, and I flatter myself that I am, that fellow is a blackleg.

Something has got to be done, und it' you still wish to retain your position at Ravensmere, you must furnish me with whatever sum I demand." "Carlos, how am T to obtain it? 1 have taken whatever 1 could get with out being found out, and all thospend ing-money Gerald'Danton gave me you now have. AVliat am I to do?" Ho leaned forward and whispered into her ear. "You are out of your senson!" she exclaimed. "Oh, no. not at all! I know it would be an easy task to one so ex perienced as yourself," he replied in an even tone. "How could you suggest such a thing, Carlos Monteri. I verily bei iievo that you would stoop to any thing." "Not 1," he returned, with a sullen laugh. "Bat you. my dear Inez, could easily do as I told you." "I won't! So that's au end of it." "Very well, you know the conse quences if you don't comply with my wishes. This 18 not the first time that I have told you this. Follow your own inclinations, and be exposed. Do as I tell you and livo in wealth and af fluence. I give you two days to con sider the matter. Meet me to-morrow night at the eud of the ladies' walk, and I'll tell you more fully my plans. Here comes that fellow Doniphnn. It seems that, ho'fl always prowling around the grounds when we're out here." "He has got no good blood for me, because I've cheated him out of his place as heir to his uncle," said Inez, in a low tone. "Remembor, torniorrow night at nine!" "Very well. And pleas0 look well i to your prisoner, tbnt sho does not make her escape a second time. By tho way, has she fully regained her souses?" "Not quite. At times she wanders a little. Ta, ta!" As ho moved away a murderous gleam shot from his eyes, while sho watched him out of sight. "Yes, Carlos Monteri, I'll meet you to-morrow night, and I'll try my hand again. I'll admit, that your plan was j a good ono, and I moy see fit to carry J it out, but. not until you aro first out of my path. Why will he not put that girl out of my path forover? If I could onty got access to that house, I would take matters in my own bands. First let nie romovc Carlos Monteri off the face of the earth, then my way will bo clear. "Does ho think that I'll allow him to order mo around n\ his will? I inn getting desperate." ? ? ? * ? As Carlos Monteri turned down tho rood, he was not aware that ho was being followed; but suoh w.vj the case. Cecil Doniphnn, having had his sus picions aroused in referonce to the in timacy between his uncle's grand I daughter aud tho man she called ?oorgo Bavtrntn, determined to keep a closo watch upon thorn. Ho Intend ed to find out what nort of a person the fellow was. Ho when hs ?aw th?in talking so confidentially, ho de cided to follow Ulm ami ?oo whore ho ?Went, "Where is tho follow leading me, anyway? By Jove, if he isn't making straight for that old dcsoited house! Now, what under the sun is taking him to that forsakon place? Abn,j('eci!, my hoy, you nro stumbling into a mystery, if I'm not mistaken. Ah! Ho has gone in and fastened the door behind him,judging from that peculiar sound, as if a bolt was being slipped into place. Ah, well. Mr. George Bertram, I'll call at some noire convenient time, when you nro not around, and find out what brings you to this old, dilap itnted ruin; for certainly you have not taken up your abode in such a place." Waiting for about ten minutes to see whether or not he intended to leave the place, and deciding tbat be did not contemplate doing so for some time, Doniphan again turned his face toward Ravonsmere. He was daily expecting a letter in reply to one he had written to Erie Brent wood, and on his way hack he stopped at the store, which served tho purpose of postofUco as well, and in quired for i mil; ami u gratified look crossed Iiis face when the grocer passed him an envelope with his name on it. Hastily tearing it open, he drew tho sheet of note-paper from tho envelope and read the following: 'Mil DoxiruAx: ? J) i.ah Sot llreta Dantoii has no!

"I was positive that I would re ceive an answer like this!" ho ox claimed. "She told a falsehood in ref erence to that visit Now it remains for mo to find out what she is up to, and I'll not rest until l succeed. This is a new departure, for nie?tho play lug of a detective's part?bnl I feel Unit I am equal to it." Placing tbo letter in Iiis pocket, ho continued on bis way to RaveilSUlore, feeling well satisfied with the success of his plan thus far, and determined to return to the haunted house at tho curliest opportunity.

Ho has a boy on the place of the name of Frank Bonn et t and the boy has a pug pop called Jim. Frank Bennett's princi pal duty is to milk the cows. The pug pup had often sat upon the grass and -watched him. Tbo boy thought il would he great fun a few days ago to give the pug a feed of milk direct from the COW, and taking careful aim, directed the stream into the dog's mouth. The pug seemed lo like it. One day il was noticed that tbo cow failed to give her usual quantity of milk, and (hat the jiug re fused to eat the most tempting morsols of food, yet be was growing fat. Farmer Jackson discovered that the pug and the cow were on the very best of terms. He watched aud w as almost paralyzed to catch the obese pug suck ing the milk from the old cow ami the cow treating the dog as affectionately as her own calf. The pug is now chained up like a barracks tramp, and the ,-ov. is giving her usual quantity of milk. The pug is losing flesh.?New York- frilli. Sl.CCr> VS NUEDFUL. -? t? - The belief that is slowly making Its way into the metropolitan mind of New York that half of the noloes of its streets are prev?>??t?*ole la due to a growing appreciation of the value of sleep as a restorative. The prevailing lack of knowledge on the henofi;s of Kleep Is well shown by I ho conduct of the average volunteer regiment before It Rets "whipped into shape." says the Army and Navy Journal. The com mon idea in the mind of the recruit is that if he can't kill tho country'* enemies, at least he is to imitate Mac beth and murder sleep. This he pro ceeds to do with the usual enthusiasm of the recruit. Wien '.be serious work of the cam paign is or. however, he soon find.- that sleep i, valuable io he trifled with.

All listened with listless ears until the speaker said: "Remember that (fen. Grant once said: "Two houts' sleep is worth heavy re or.i'orcomenifi.' " This was enough to let light into the tousled heads of tho recruits, und thai night the armory wag as still ax a graveyard. Now that our soldiers are being brought face to face with climatic con ditions to which they pre totally un accustomed, it ought to he Impressed on them unceasingly that they cannot afford to underrate the value of slum ber. The Medical News of New York Sflvs on this very subject: "It Is well known that heat prostrations are die, much more to the exhaustion Incident Co insufficient sleep on successive hot nljdits than lo the actual Intensity of th<> daily heat.

Only throw out part of tho honey from tue ?;,]0i then t'Overse tho combs and turn' wtsi enough to throw out all of tho honey from that side, then reverse the oombs again and run the machine fast enough to throw out all that remains.
