aud Carlos Monte? ! hud their last in
terview, n dark-robed figure stole^out
of tho stile door of llaveusuiere and
stealthily made itn way out of tho
grounds to the littlo-used road loading
past the old haunted house.
As the luoon cauio out from behind
n oloud for rii lustnut, it revealed th?
faot that til-; was that of a
woman. After getting beyond sight
of any one who might be near tho
grounds, she hastened her steps, never
pausing until she came up to the ol.l
building that eoutnlued the girl, of
?II others, that she wished out of the
way, and the mall by whose death sho
meant to profit.
As she ncaved tho old, broken
down porch, she took a small ean from
if beneath a dark eloak'w hieb concealed
her ligure, athl poured a liquid on tho
worm-eaten stops and also on the jamb
of the door.
Having done that, she took several
matoh?S from her poekot and pto
oecded to light one. She then lighted
one end of something she had in her
hand, placing the uulighted etui on the
step.
Hastily she made her way back, al
most (lying over tho ground, never
pausing Until sho reached Ravensinere
und let herself into the house by tho
same door she had used as an exit.
When she reaehed her own room, sho
hastened to the window, and for the
first t Since she left it turned her
eyes i.. tue direction of the haunted
houso.
Did she see a light through the
trees?
Yes. Although the woodland ob
structed her view, she COltld see a light
in the distance
"Ah, if it only proves successful!"
she murmured. 'I'd have nothing
more to fear then. Time will tell. I
must wait patiently until morning."
Nervous from oxeitcmont, she threw
herself down on her couch, a ith her
face turned to the window, that sho
might see if the light increased.
"Yet.'' sho murmured triumphantly,
"it is getting brighter. Something

was in the laud of the living, for ho
had sworn to have revenge on me,
and sooner or later he would have
kept his oath. But now, by this I
time, I hope he has passed in his
checks."
And calmly, as if she had no crimes
to answer for, she closed bei eyes and
fell into a deep sleep.
"By Jove!" exclaimed Cecil Doui
phan. "What does that lneau, I won

wonder what he is to her. Oh, well,
that remains to be found out," as,
with a yawn, lie threw away the re
mains of his cigaT and turned in.
The following morning he was sur
prised to hear from one of the servants
that tho butcher, who had come by tho
haunted house that morniug, declared
that nothing remained but a ruined
mass. Tt must have burned down dur
ing the night. Was it intuition or.
what that made his thoughts turn tj
' his uncle's granddaughter? Was thore
a connecting link between that burned
house, which ho had seen tho so-callod
George Bertram enter, and "Brela Dan
ton, his cousin?
No one, however, affected more sur
prise, when ho told hov that the old
place had been burned.
"What does it matter," sho said,
"since no one resided there? I dare,
nay tho ghost that haunted it set it on
fire," with a laugh.
"Moro likely some live ghost, who
had an object in wishing it ?'"?vued,"
ho said, washing her kocnlj.
But he gained nothiug from her ex
pression, which remained perfectly
passive.
However, she lost no time in getj,
ting to tho village, to make what ltt?]
qnirios she could concerning the fire.;
Huroly soino one must have seen it
while it was in progress. So, form
ing an oxcuse of some small articles
needed, she Irove the pony phaeton?i
a present from her grandfather?into
the village.
"Have they escaped?" she askod,
. herself. "If so, will Carlos Montori
attach tho blame to me? Will ho sus
pect that I was tho one to set the
house on fire?"
And her common sense told hev
that ho would. But, she told herself,
he could not prove that it was she,
even if he had osoaped, which she
^doubted.
^ "At all risks, it is worth a trial,"
shC murmured; "and it is killing two
birds with one stone."

|? When Eric Brentwood said that he
would solve the mystery that he fully
believed surrounded the girl to whom
he had lost hiu heart, he spoke jio idle
words. He had an honest love to spur
him on, And what more powerful in
oontive could he possess?
Without saying a word to his mother
regarding his belief that tho girl had
.fallen into the hands of encinios, ho
left home, meroly stating that business
called him away, and that hin absence
would be for an indefinite period,
j With groat cleverness, that would
\ have done honor to an old and experi
enced deteetive, he traced tho ooiect
of his devotion to the neighborhood of
Ravensmere. He had not called or
the supposod Bret a Danton since she
had taken up her rosidenoe with hoi
grandfather, and he told himself thati
His time was too precious to wasto in
making calls.
He had ascertained that the git 1 had
left the train with a gentleman. So
much he had learned, but where ho
took her afterward was a mystory. In
quire as ho would he could learn noth
ing further.
But ho vas n ono easily to give
up, and he. fgU oitfident that he
would flod he*.
As all tto. , of her luvt beeu lost af
ter she left the train, he accordingly
took up hi* abode At the village hotel,
thinking that, as there he had lout tho
clew, so there lie must remain until he
COUlcl take it up again.
Hitting at i!:" v [ndow <?f his room
on the day after his arm a!, he Started
th?> llgure <>f a mau cauie iu*'> view
? and Slowly walked up to the hotel.
Where had he seen that face before?
Something in thoao restless eyes, of
which he had caught a glimpse, re
', minded him of srrine one he had aeen.
Who WAS it ? And again how well
his face and figure tallied with the de
Koription of the man who had called at
the gypsy camp and took the girl
a\vay. 1
"Aha!"' he exclaimed under hjs
. breath. "If f am not very much mis
taken, he is the very mau I am look
1 ing for. I shall watch him. at all
events, und lind out his business in
this quarter of the globe. Ah, I re
member!" as a sudden thought struck
him. "That is the fellow that I saw
talking to the butler the day that Miss
I Danton left the park. By the way, I
I wonder what ho could have had to sftjy
? to him?"
It was getting dark when he saw the
man leave the hotel.with a small pack
age in his hund.
Hastily putting i>n his hat, he do
Heended the stair and set out to follow
the nfau who, he felt assured, was the
one who had lured the delirious girl
away. N'ot for an instant did he
believe the story told to the gypsy?
namely, that she was his wife.
Something seemed to loll him that
she was free to be wooed and won,and
he determined to win hev if he could
only And her. He could not believe
that such love a^ surged through his
heart for the unknown girl would
come to him if it was uot to awaken an
answering passion in her heart.
Keeping a considerable distance
fr Olli I ho fellow, he follow oil in his
footsteps, and a triumphant light
leaped into his eyes us he saw him en
ter au eld ivy-covered houso that
seemed to be uninhabited. He coultl
do nothing but wait to see what would,
transpire. Crouching behind the
shrubbery, he waited for nearly an
hour, when the man emerged from tho
house and again went in the direction
of the hotel. But this time Eric
Breutwood didn't follow him,
When he had gotten beyond sight
and hearing, Eric arose from his po
sition and cautiously moved toward
the house. Ho thought he could soo
U dim light through a closed blind in
the sooond story. What should bo
do? Was the girl confined in that
house? if so, for what purpose?
"Suppose,"' he said to himself,
"that after all 1 am mistaken. What
w ould be thought of this high-handed
proceeding on my party But, no," lie
added, "I am not mistokQUi She is
in distress and heeds such a friend ft*
I shall be to her. I must first find on!
if I can gain an entrance without
breaking this door open."
Examining all the means of exit, be
folind that the door was as easy a way
as any other.
Placing his strong shoulder against
the door he had little trouble in forc
ing off the lock, and in another in
stant ho steed within a large hallway.
This he could tell by the little light
that came from outside. Inside every
thing seemed to be enveloped in dark
ness. Pushing the door shut, lie
struck a match and looked around in
quest of the stairway.
Yes, there it wan, just ahead of
him.
Placing his hand on the railing, he
guided himself up the stairs, and
at last stood at the top. He was
about to go on, when a sound struck
his ear.
"What was that?" he murmured as
he listened for its repetition.

brio's success.
As Eric Breutwood paused at Iho
head of the stairs of the old haunted
house, he listened attentively to hsav
the sound repeated.
Ah, yes; there it was again! It
sounded as if some one were sobbing,
and from what he could understand of
the position of the rooms, he sur
mised that the person who was utter- |
ing thorn was cOUflVieii in the Apart
ment at the extreme end of the corri
dor.
Striking another match, he pro
ceeded in that direction and could
soon hoc a pale streak of light shining
form beneath the door.
As he approached, ho decided to
knock on the panel.
As he did so, a voice, whioh he re
membored so w ell and which lived con
tinually in bin dreams, spoke in a
plaintive tone:
"Oh, do go away and leave mo alone!
I I so hate the sight of you that I would
rather bo alone forever than to look on
your face!''
"It is not he whom you suppose it
to be, but a friend who has como to
I roloaso 3/011," answered Eric, in tones
so earnest and unlike thoao of Curios
l Montori that the girl uttered a littlo
'gasp of nurpvise.
"Oh, sir, do you really mean it?"
she criod.
"On my honor as a gentleman, I do.
Toll me: Has not that man who loft
here a short while ago locked you in
hero agftinat your will?"
"Yes," she answered. ''Ob, sir,
I whoever you are, I will blesa you for
ever if. yon will only rascue me from
that man! You will have to break open
the door, as he has tbo key."
Erie pushed his strong frame against
.the door, and for a second timo suc
ceeded in forcing off alook. Thodoor
'swung inward, and there before him
stood the girl for whom he had been so
rigorously searching?for whom ho
would willingly lay down his life, if
necessary.
"Come!" he said, as he wont for
ward and took her hand in his. "We
must leave here as soon as possible,
,lest that villain return. But first, tell
roe: Are yon his wife?"
" 'His wife!'" she oxolaimed. "No,
not How could you think that?"
"Thank heaven!" said Erk "I
felt certain that you were not that
?loan':, wife, although he told Jook, the
gipsy, so."
" 'Jock, the gipsy!' she repeated.
"Who is he?"
"Do you not remember of being ill
in a gipsy camp?"
?'jfo, sir. I was ill, I know, sad sm
scarcely well yet. 8ee how wesk and
heryou'i I am. The least oxortlon nn

, "Have you had. any medioal atten
tion since you bare been here? Has
that njan left you to softer without tb ..
proper- restoratives?'' asked Erio, an
be still held bet-hand olooe in hi*.
1 PNo. Aithough he has kept oae ^
-,-<-r~-#
prisoner here, he did not lot me want
for either medicine or food, although
it was very little of the latter that I
needed. I would have attempted to
escape ore thin, hut my feeble strength
wan not equal to breakiug down that
door an you have done. Oh, sir, how
can 1 thank you ?"
"By telling jue where to find your
friends."
"Friends!" she said, bitterly. "I
sometimes wonder if I ever bad a
friend. If I had I cannot remember.
And, sir. the strangest part of it is 1
forget my name. If I could only hear
tome one mention it I am sure it
\ ouhl all come back to ine "
"Come, you can tell mo the rest art
?vc go along, if you have no friends
I mean to take too to my home."
Taking up the lighted caudle which
was sitting on a table in one corner of
the room, Brio led the half bewildered
girl along the corridor and down the
carpet I ess stairs. Bmerging into tho
night air, he placed bis arm beneath
liors to support her as much as possi
ble.
Over the same road which Oarlos
Monteri had brought her, Brio Brent
wood then conducted her, and reached
the station just as the train was coin
ing in.
*'\Yo will get aboard this train,"
said Brio; "tllOU Von can tell me all
about yourself."
As the train paused, he lifted her
aboard, ami. having found n!l empty
seat in the rear end of the compart
ment, he made his charge as comfort
able as possible and seated himself be
side her.
"Now tell me what you can about
VOurself," he said, taking her slender
white hand in his.
"Indeed, sir, lam afraid that it wil
not interest you much, because I scent
to have lost my recollection of names."
"I am more interested than you
think, little girl," said Eric,with a ten
der look.
"Why arc you interested in me?"
she asked curiously, "Hayc you over
seen tue before?"
"Yes. I came to .see you every day
while you were lying in the gipsy
camp, and when Jock told me that a
man and woman called and toed; you
away, something seemed to tell tun
that there was t'oul play, and t deter
mined then and there that J would find
you, and, if, as I suspected, you hail
fallen into tho bands of enemies, that
I would rescue you fron them and re
turn you to your frionds. Hut, as you
pay you have, none, you must cotuo to
my mother and lind a home with us."
"Oh, sir!" she exclaimed. "How
good you are to interest yourself in :i
perfect stranger. What good angel
prompted you to be a friend to mo?"
"Shall 1 tell you why?" he began.
Thou?"No. uot now. ttoino time,

MALTA FfcVER.
Malta fever take* t:s name from the
fact that It was first studied among
the Hi hu h troops In the Island of Mal
ta. It occurs along the ?horos and
among the island? of the entire Medit
erranean sea. In this country It has
become of interest from the fact that
among the troops returning from Cuba
last, autumn several cases were found
of a disease which closely resembled
it. Indeed, it Is now believed that Mal
ta fever prevails In the Medlterranoan
of the western hemisphere as well as
In that of the eastern. H occurs in
Hongkong, and doubtless also In the
Philippine Islands. N
Malta fever prevails all the year
round, but by far the greatest number
of oases occur in summer. It is not
believed to be ^contagious; the specific
microbe, as lb! the case of typhoid fev
er, is siippoped to be conveyed In
water.
The early symptoms are like those
of any other fever, namely: wakeful
, nfisa and headache, n large and flabby
tongue covered with a thin yellowish
j fur, loss of appetite, .".lid sometimes
nausea, or even vomiting. ThCC I* a
slight cough, and every night, toward
morning, the patient suffers from a
profuse perspiration.
After nbout a Meek of these symp
toms, tho fever, which has till now
been very slight, begins to rise. It rises
a few degrees above the normal, sel
dom to a dangerous height, and then
goes on and on. sometimes for months,
until the patience of everybody Ic ex
hausted.
The patient does not seem to he very
Kick; indeed, he often feels fairly well,
but the wretched fever contlnuos, now
up. now down, and the sufferer loses
flesh and strength, and takes on a
dirty, sallow look. Occasionally he has
rheumatic Symptoms, which resomblo
very closely those of real Inflammatory
rheumatism. One of tho larger Joints
will suddenly become painful, red and
swollen, remain so for a day or two,
and then get suddenly, well, while an
other Joint begins to suffer In the same
way. This may go on Indefinitely from
Joint to Joint, till the patient Is as
weary of the rheumatism as he Is of
the fever. ?
Malta fever may last only a few
weeks, or It may continue with Inter
vals of apparent freedom for a year,
or oven two years. Very few people
die of tho disease. So far as doctors
have yet discovered, there Is no medi
cine that will ctire or shorten tho dis
ease; all that can be dono is to nurso
tho patient and keep up his strength
until the fever dlos out. Quinine is use
less. We shall probably hear more of
this tiresome affection during the pres
ent summer.

Selecting tin> I'ljj*.
Tu selecting tho pig best suited for
COUVOl'tiug food into pork, there aro
several matters to ho observed, and
these should ho paramount at the out
set, as no after caro can compensate
for errors of selection. Fineness of
bone insures having but little offal,
and a pig with line bono seldom dis
appoints his owner when ho is
slaughtered. A broad, dished face,
with i'liout short and turned up, indi
cates an aptitude to fatten, and is ono
of tho surest indications oT a good
pig
No hog should have bristles, as
thoso have been bred away from all
tho best broods, and they will not bo
tolerated at present on any respecta
ble farm, as they indicate coarseness,
rotttlossnoss and preponderance of
offal, besides these outward indica
tions, whioh include squareness ol
form, tlueuoss of hair and depth and
length of carcass, tho propensities of
tho pig should bo observed. He
should not bo a squealer, nor should
ho bo restless. He should patiently
lio down without even traveling
around tho pen. As a rule, tho dis
position of the pig aud his propensi
ties correspond to his form, and but
few errors will be made if the selec
tion of the pig is made as directed.
No corn shoe Id bo fed until just
previous to hardening the fat, and all
heatiug or fat producing food should
bo avoided as much as possible dur
ing the summer. A pig when iu tho
pen will do well enough on vegetables,
refuse, otc, if given a little bran aud
milk daily, as corn can do its duty
later in the season.?Tennessee Far

In making good butter, aside from
the processes themselves, there aro at
least three essentials, namely, good
milk, pure air and perfect cleanliness,
says tho Dairy Reporter. Most dtho
elements which render milk bad are
the ferments. They aro "leaven," of
which according to Scripture, a littlo
"leavens tho whole lump." It there
fore only takes a little poor milk to
spoil a considerable quantity of milk
that is unobjectionable. Milk from
COWS that are close to calving time
often contaminates a large quantity of 1
good milk with which it may bo
mingled, and thero aro many other
causes for poor milk that readily
propagato themselves when tho milk
i? added to other lots that are without
fault. Nothing is more susceptible to
bad odors than milk and its producta.
Pure air is so essential that good but
ter cannot bo mado when tho dairy
room is in tho kitchou, or is imme
diately couneoted with it. Cleanli
ness, too, in ono of tho essentials that
oven outranks godliness in butter
making. Tho utousils must bo clean,
and must, bo washed \.ith lukewarm
water and a brush and soap, or some
other cleansing preparation, with oare<
fill attention to tho seams of tho vos
sols, aud then they should bo scalded
in boiling water, aud by this wo mean
water that is really boiling, not such
as has been boiling and has been
poured from vessel to vessel until it
cools. Each vossel should l'3oeive Us
full share of airing and sunshine after
scalding.
Those aro points not new at all, but
they aro points on which it is nocos
sary to have "lino upon line and pro
oopt upon pre .-opt." What ono does
every day and day after day, as in the
case of handling milk, thero is always
danger that ho will do carelessly at
times. I t ia a matter of common re
mark that, on railroads -i-t is the Old.
hand who is caught in making coup
lings; it is tho ono who has been do
ing it day after day, mouth aftor
mouth, and year after year. It is ho
who bocomcH careless, and ho it is in j
handling milk, among thorio who
know. Tho task that is repeated day j
aftor day is one that needs tho watch
ing, otherwise it will bo carelessly

of the trip through life with tho friend
chosen from out the world as the one
most worthy our love, respect and self
Bacrlflce. In all friendship it. In wise to
hunt out the sunny spots to be found in
every character If rightly sought: and
t-:o In marriage?if man and wife find j
themselves sitting in the shade of each |
other's dispositions, they must seek the j
sunlight together or storm clouds will i
gather overhead, says tho "National." 1
What wo need In marital partnership!'
is more courage and consideration? j
courage with which to meet our own
faultet; consideration with which to
moot other people's. A marriage bal
anced by these weights Is sure to pros
per and point out. r, paradise where tho
circulation of the soul is purified.
If facts were sifted, tho statistical re
sult would probably show that the ma
jority of married people are as happy
as it is intended mortals should be.
Unhappy marriage is sensational,
therefore the world hears all about it;
happy marriage Is like the American
whom one never heats about la Eu
rope, because he is merged into the
groat human class of the unostenta
tiously refined, wearing ho sign of his
good breeding except the hrecdin, It
self.
Men and women make their own
conditions; conditions do not make
them, but as Thomas Carlyle puts It,
"Life anywhere will swallow a man
unless he rise and vigorously try to I
swallow It."
Marital existence, we admit. !s a
struggle with poenlbilitioB and pessi
mism; however, we are pilots of our
own boat, and unless we mark our '
channel well through the shoals and :
rocks we nro likely to go to the bot- I
torn as food for pessimistic fishes.

(I declined to fall Into the ways of the

worse than barbarism, sailed Into tho
authorities as being parties to thl.?
class of crimes and even defied public
sentiment to the extent of defending
horse thieves. J received a good many
threatening letters, but stood ty my

I fell In love with the lovllost girl on

married. Then my enemies began th'
work of flondleh revenue.
"Wo wcro actually at the depot anrj
about to start on a long wedding tour
