Ho found himself in a handsomely furnished parlor, beside the window of which Judge Kctello sat at his desk. The judge turned in his throne, swift Iv ' ; ' 1! dr and asked him to be seated. “I think you were up at my house the other evening,” he remarked. “I recognize the name and the face.” “You are quite right, judge,” replied Dupeo, assuming an easy air, “and it is on a matter connected with my visit to you on that occasion that I have ventured to trouble you now. There was a check, you remember?” “Perfectly. A check for tho sum of eighty dollars. Well?” “Well, there seems to hare been some difficulty or misunderstanding—proba bly the cashier at tho bank made some stupid mistake; but, anyhow, the check was returned yesterday, marked ‘no good.’ I thought you would wish to know about it.” “Hum! I am not In the habit of hav ing my checks returned, certainly,” said tho judge. “Lot mo see; on what bank was tho check drawn?” "Tho Battery bank,” replied Dupee. "I will tell you how such a mistake might occur, Mr. Qrush,” said the judge, after a short pause. “I keep accounts at several banks. Sometimes one or other of these accounts runs out before I am aware of it. My wife has a separate account, which is at tho Battery bank. world, red wrapped In rayless llame.

Are you prepared to maintain," said tho judge, in a quiet tone, “that there is anything unseemly in the relations of the gentleman you speak of and Mrs. KeteUe?’’ Dupee laughed harshly. “Ask him!” ho returned. “Bring him and her to gether and ask them what their relations arel” “I am fortunately ablo to do that,” answered the judge, “because tho gen tleman in question happens to be at hand. I will summon him.” And step ping to the door of the inner room, he partly opened it and said, “Come in.” Tho next moment tho figure of a tall young man appeared on tho threshold and advanced into tho apartment He was tho very man whom Dupee had seen in tho park and afterwards traced to the Harlem flat. But how came ho to be in waiting here? What was the moaning of it all? “Is this the gentlen<an you speak or?" inquired the judge of Dupeo. indicating tho newcomer “Oh, 1 suppose they have fooled you with some clever lie or other,” said Du pee, with a snarl.

D Y 10 o’clock tho next morning all Inspector Byrnes' preparations — » ere complete, down to the least detail; and there was nothing loft to do but wait for the fly to walk into the web. Horace Dupee, after receiving bis check, put it * in his pocket with ^ the intention of getting it cashed at tho bank on the mpr- row. But in order to do this it would be necessary that he bo identified. This would not be a particularly easy matter in any case, and the less so because the name on it was not his own. At length ho decided to get it cashed through some friend. Ho was reluctant to have it known to any one that lie had had any dealings with Judge Ketelle, and it was partly on this account that he had given (irush’s name. But it was an annoyance and a risk even so, and he promised him- j self that lie would not be caught with a check again In a hurry Latc that night lie succeeded in cash ing tlio check over the liar of an bin in the lower part of the city, where he was lodging The landlord of the inn was a depositor at the bank on which the check was drawn. This was on Wednesday The next day, Thursday (the day of Pau line’s interview with the inspector), the check was sent to the bank to be turned in with the other receipts On Thursday evening the check came hack marked N G. Dupeo was not in the hotel at the time, but be entered about 11 o’clock. The hotel keeper called his attention to the dishonored check, and demanded from him payment of tho face amount Dupee had by that time siient a good deal o! the eighty dollars; but rather than have any disturbance he deposited fifty dol lars, and promised to go to the liank the next day and have (lie thing straight ened out. But though he carried it off with a composed face, he was in reality filled with rage and apprehension. What could be the meaning of it? A check signed by Judge Ketelle refused at his own bank! Was it a mistake, an accident, or a deliberate plan? A mis take it could hardly be; there was noth- lug ambiguous in the wording of the check, and Dupeo had made sure that tho date and all the minor details had liecn correctly entered. The probability was greater of its being an accident. Judge Ketelle might have inadverteutly overdrawn his account. If this were tho case, the matter could lie easily rectified. But. on the other hand, tho third contin gency remained—that the check had betn stopped by special direction. If that were so, it meant that Mrs. Ketelle had declared war. She had resolved to defy him. Sho fancied, perhaps, that he would not have tho courage to carry out his threat and reveal her Intrigue to her husband. Well, If that were her idea, she would discover her mistake. He would reveal her shame, whatever the consequences to himself He would blast her life; not only her husband, but the whole world should know what she had done; and if ho suffered Imprison ment for it, at any rate the time would couit- when lie would again be free, and then he could seek her out and taunt her with her ignominy For lime would bring no freedom to her This bitterness of malice on his part was partly characteristic of the mituro of the man; but there was in it an cle ment of exceptional animosity Almost all criminals who have fallen from a higher social position lay the responsi hility of their degradation at the door of some person or combination of circum stances outside of themselves. So it was with Dupee, who dated the beginning of his misfortune from the day when he was arrested on the charge of murder by the father of Jerrold Nolen. Pauline and her mother were the only living rep resentatives (ns ho believed) of that man They should suffer a vicarious punish ment. So strong was his desire to see this punishment Inflicted tliat he half hoped Mrs. Ketelle hod really played him false. The longer ho thought over the matter, however, the less likely did it seem that this could be the case. What ever Biiecir!' , d Dtlfik as to the probabil- ’1'U failing to ca'T"' 1 out his threat, ^ " Uty that he « *** l i for a Kuhr Ifttle the may have inadvertently used her check book, my own account being exhausted. Tho fact that she had money there would of course not warrant the cashier in pay ing my check. I do not assert that this Is tho explanation; but it might be.” “To be sure; nothing more likely,” re joined Dupeo. “But, at all events, the check having been returned, I suppose you will have no objection to writing another?" “There would be some other consider ations involved in that, Mr. Qrush,” said the judge, bending an intent look at Du pee. "May I ask you, in the first place, what this payment was for?” "It was for a purchase made by Mrs. Ketelle, sir,” said Dupeo, somewhat con fused by this unexpected question; “a purchase at—at our store—lam a sales man there, and” “What store is it you speak of?" de manded the judge. tellani’s jewelry store. He left New York and was reported drowned; but the report turned out to have lieen an error He returned to New York about ten days ago; but bis presence was not generally made known, owing to the fact that the true perpetrator of tho robbery had not yet been identified. Tho identification lias now been made, however, and there fore the necessity of concealing Mr Percy Nolen's presence no longer exists " “Well, and what has all this rigma role to do with me?" demanded Dupee defiantly. "Wliat have l to do with Percy Nolen?" “I am Percy Nolen," said the gentle man in question, regarding Dupee with a very stern expression, "and this lady is my sister.” Dupeo saw at once that he had been outw%ted and trapped. The check had been stopped in order to induce him to come to Judge Ketellc'sofflce; and it had "Castellani’s, on Broadway,” replied ' been previously ar.-anged that Mrs. Ko- Dupce, giving the first name that oc curred to him, and feeling a little uneasy at tho turn of the conversation. "Castellan!, the Jeweler?" said the judge. "I know the place well It was there that the robbery of Mrs. Tunstall’s pocketbook took place last year.” Dupee bit his Ups. But it was neces sary to carry out his part, and he could not resist the temptation to aim a blow the judge. “You are quite right, judge,” he said, “the robbery for which young Percy Nolen was arrested.” "Yes; ho was arrested for it,” returned the judge, gravely; “but it has been dis covered, Mr. Qrush, that tho robbery was tho work of another man. That man,” ho added, fixing his eyes upon the other, “is known to tho polico and will undoubtedly expiato his crime. But to return to this check. How does it happen that tho money was payable to you in stead of to tho company? That seems peculiar.” “Well, you see, I—I have an interest in tho business and am authorized to re ceive payments personally.” “Ah! Still, as the matter, from a pe cuniary point of view, concerns tho com pany, and not you, it can mako nodiffer- cnco if I cause inquiries to bo made at Castellani’s before writing you another check. As I have no personal acquaint ance with you, you wili perceive the propriety of this precaution.' “1 don’t regard the mallei m that light," answered Dupee. who way begin ning to lose Ids nerve. ‘I am not ac countable to tho linn. 1 sold the goods, and 1 must request you to pay me the money. - ' There was a book lying on thj judge's desk, and at this moment, apparently by accident, a movement of ids elliow caused ^bis book to fall heavily to the floor “The affair concerns Mrs. Ketelle more directly than it does mo." he observed. "1 will communicate with her. and if she authorizes the payment I will make it.’ At that moment the door into the outer office opened. "And by the way,” continued tho judge, "here Is Mrs. Ke telle now. We can settle this thing here. ” It was. in fact, Pauline. Her face was pale and grave, but her eyes sparkled like stars. Dupee knew not bow to in terpret her abrupt appearance. The look that she bestowed upon him did not tend to reassure him. But he summoned all his resolution and resolved to fight if brought to bay "My dear,” said the judge, as Ids wife came over to him and stood by his chair, “this person tells me that the check I gave him at your request has been stopped, and be wants me to write him another.” “It was stopped by my orders," said Paulino, turning her eyes again on Du pee. “Tho money will not lie paid.” “Why won’t it bo paid?" retorted Du peo. “Do you mean to deny that it is due?” “I owe you nothing." she replied. "Old we’ll see about lliatl Do you wish me to teli your husband what It was you bought of me and paid eighty dollars on account?” “I owe you nothing and sliall pay you nothing,” was her answer. “You are an impostor and a thief. Your name is not John Orush. but Horace Dupee. I lave waited for you a long time." “Never mind what my name is or what I am! I know what you are and what you have done! And unless you pay me, here and now, not eighty dol lars hut eight hundred, your husband shall know as much os I dot” “Not so loud, sir, if you please," tntcr- tello and Percy were to meet him there and effect his discomfiture. There was nothing left for him to do except to re tire like the baffled villain in tho melo drama, muttering, “Foiled! but I will yet be avengodl" or words to that effect Dupeo, however, failed to grasp the dramatic opportunities of tho situation; but be said, as be moved towards the door, “You have been known as a pick pocket. Percy Nolen, and it'll stick to you!” With that he opened the door, and would have gone out of It, had he not been confronted there by a broad shouldered, athletic gentleman, with a brown mustache and piercing eyes, who was accompanied by a dejected person age wearing the familiar aspect of Mr. John Qrush, the only true and genuine proprietor of that name. The broad shouldered man, after hand ing Orush into tho room, followed him and closed the door “Good morning. Mrs. Ketelle and gentlemen.” ho said, cheerfully. "Well, Horace, you see I have a friend of yours here. Jack has been complaining to mo of you. He says you not only stole his name, but in fringed his patent blackmail scheme. And so, by way of retaliation, be has been telling very bad tales of you. I’m afraid you are in for n good deal of trouble, Horace.” "There’s no need of making a fuss about this affair, Inspector," said Dupee, assuming a nonchalant air. “There’s been no blackmail that I know of. It is true that Judge Ketelle paid me a worth less check the other day; but there has been no |>ecuniary transaction, properly speaking, and I don't know what this man," indicating Orush, “is grumbling about. I know very little of him.” "He lias the advantage of you, then,” returned the inspector, “for ho knows a great deal about you. I have been wait ing for you for a year. I knew you’d be back hero, so I didn’t bother to disturb you in San Francisco; but I've got that thousand dollar note up at the office; and Qrush has filled up any Attlo gaps in tho chain, though wo could have done very well without him. Hold out yam hands!” The last words were spoken In a voico to different from tho good natured ban ter of the foregoing sentences that Dupeo gave a start and mechanically extended his wrists, and tho next moment the handcuffs were round them. Tho mo ment after that, however, ho seemed to take in the significance of what the in spector had said. He turned and cast a very malignant glance at Orush. “You will find evidence against me, will you!" ho cried, in a grating tone. “You did that job on tlio lady in the jewelry store, and put it off on him,” re turned Crush, nodding toward Percy, and speaking with a swagger. “You know It, and I’ll take my oath to it any day. You played a low down game on me, and that’s what you get for It!” “You’ll give evidence that I'm a pick pocket, will you?" repeated-Dupeo, star ing at the man with a strange expres alon, half leer and half scowl “''Veil, you may do it or you needn’t, just os you please: for I did rob tho woman, and I don’t care who knows it, nowl But you gave it away too quick. Jack Crush; this is the worst day's work you ever did; It would have been worth something to you to have found but, first, whether I had any little stories to tell about you!” The inspector, who had been on the point of putting an abrupt end to their dialogue, seemed to change his purpose at tho last sentence; and the others pres ent involuntarily listened to what might follow. You can’t tell anything to hurt mel” yet you were the scoundrel who crept up io a drunken man— Hold him, in- fpectorl" Crush, in fact, had suddenly made a leap at Dupee like a wild beast. But tho fcispcctor’s hand was stretched out like a fash and grasped him by tho back of the collar with an iron hold. The follow tnado one tremendous but vain effort to break loose, and then stood still, shaking all over, but dangerous no longer. The inspector gave a sharp whistle; a ser geant entered tho room, and at a nod from his superior had Qrush manacled in a jiffy and stood up against the wall. Tho inspector straightened his shirt cuff and said, "Come, Horace, make an end of this business; wo can’t stay here all the morning to hear you two scoundrels abuse each other.” “I say,” said Dupee, with a sort of ex cited shriek in his voice, “that after I took Jerrold Nolen to the door of ills house and left him, so help me God, alive in the stoop there, thougli so drunk he didn't know what ho was about, that devil there came up to him and robbed him, and gave him tho blow behind tho car that killed himl I say it, and I can prove it! And when ho fools tho rope about his neck, let him remember that it was Horace Dupeo put it there!” "Take them out, sergeant,” said the Inspector, abruptly; “I will bo at the office presently. They’re a pairof them, and, to my thinking, hanging is too good for either of them!" The little audience which had been in voluntary spectators of this violent and ugly scene drew a breath of relief when the door closed behind tho two convicts. It was a long time before tho nightmare Impression wore off. “That last turn was unexpected,” observed the inspector, deprecatingly. "It wasn't on my programme. 1 think Du|>e<. probably told the truth about it. You remember, Miss Nolen, 1 always doubted his having committed tho greater crime. But on the whole I think we may congratulate ourselves on having n>a<le a very good end of the af fair. You i. til not have to return to Harlem, Mr. Nolen, unless you wish to. And, on the other hand, when you go hack to Mexico I fancy you will find no difficulty in carrying with you all the guarantees, social or business, that you want.” “Thanks to you, inspector," said the young man, with feeling, grasping the officer by the hand. “Oh, no; that is where your thanks be long,” the latter returned, bowing toward Paulino with a smile. “She deserves most of the credit for the successful is sue of this affair. No sister, I'll make hold to say, ever stood by a brother so faithfully as she has by you. I have done little besides hack her up now and then; anti, if I hadn’t, I believe she woultl have done tho whole thing alone by herself!” and evading further thanks and praises the chief detective made a comprehensive salute to tho company and vanished from the room. “He's what 1 call a man!” said Percy. “And a general!” added tho judge. Paulino said in a whisper. "Got! bless himl" Judge Kctello and his beautiful wife continue to live In New York, and now that the shadow is lifted from them they are the sunny center of a charming so ciety Mrs. Nolen lives with thorn, in the enjoyment of a serene old ago. Percy returned to Mexico, and is still living there, having become quite ! wealthy; and his betrothal is reported to tho daughter of ono of tho chief men in the government. Mrs. Valentino Martin is believed to bo in England, intriguing, witiiout much prospect of success, for tho possession of her late husband's es tates. Dupeo is behind the bars; Qrush contrived to cheat the gallows. In spector Byrnes is hard at work, but hard work agrees with him. THE END. rest Passing by a certain shop in the I-atin juartcr of Paris, I used to stop to look in at tho window, for at the hack of it there was a great fire, before which were several spits on which chickens were roasting. The windows always had on display for sale plenty of cold roast chickens, and they were cooked in the'old fashioned way. The French leeru to believe in the method of former Jays, for I saw an ingenious contrivance for roasting in a window in tlie Avenue io [ Opera. It was a spit, on which was a dummy chicken roasting before an imaginary lire. The bird was kept turning all the time by an apparatus X)!il|h.set] of springs, which had to bo wound up like a clock. But tho curious part of it was the appliance for hasting the chicken. Over ill - spit was a small trougli with minute holes in the bottom, through which the basting dropped very ilowly. The trough beneath the spit was inclined so that the liquid ran down to one end, where it w as taken up by a :ouple of revolving sc.> >ps and emptied Into tlio trough above the roast. It was in admirable device, and could net fail to do its work well as long as the ma chinery was kept in working order. FOUGHT THE COOK STOCK. The first decided improvement on the iron bake kettle that I remember was the tin “baker,” as it was called. It was on the plan of a “tin kitchen,” which was also largely in use in the old time, in which the spit was occasionally turned by a crane at the end. The baker was set before the lire with the biscuit or loaf in it. Tlio cover was inclined down from the fire, so that it would reflect the heat upon tho bread. This and the tin kitchen did their work very well as long as open tires were available, hut of course at much greater expense for fuel. The cook stove has nearly superseded all then appliances, though tho old ladies of sixty years ago fought against it for a time a senseless innovation; hut they learned to use it and like it in the end. At (ir:.t wood was generally us- d in it, but when hard coal came into general use it was the fuel generally u d in cooking. This coal had a hard struggle to ohtaiua foot ing in houses in those days. My father hired a now mull froiu the country and told him to make a fire in the morning in the grate. When we got up there was no fire. The man had “given it up." He could make a fire, be vdd. as well as anybody out of anything that would burn, but lie could not do it with stones. Gas was in use at this time, but I used to be amused at the comments of people from the country upon the lights in the office of the hotel where I was brought up. They nil wanted to know what it was that buru- ti. It was air or in the form of air, hut they would not believe it, and evidently thought there must he ■omc deviltry about it. Thu man that “blew out the gas” was even more com mon then than now. I can remember when I w as a boy of being actually alarm.-1, or at least star tled, when I saw a man rub a little stick igainst the side of the house, obtain a light and ignite Ids cigar from it. It looked like a specimen of tlio black art. Now what should we do without matches that we buy at a cent or two a bunch? We used to rake up the fire nights and keep a bed of coals to start the fire in the morning. If wo lost the fire we had to use a flint and steel and hammer away at it until wo sent a spark into the tin der. Even then there was an outfit that could be bought for a quarter at the apothecary'scalled phosphorous mate-lies. It consisted of a round box, six inches long and an Inch iu diameter. In tho top were the matches, and in the bottom was a small vial into which they had to be thrust to procure the light. Before present sort of matches were in being they came in oblong boxes, each contain ing a doubled piece of sandpaper upon which to light them.—Oliver Optic. Dargan & Lide.

One who has lived long enough to do so, in looking back fifty or sixty years, is greatly astonished at the marvelous changes in the manner of doing things in everyday life. Sixty years ago in Boston anthracite coal was not in com mon use, if it was in use at all. In cer tain sections of tho city there were wood stands, where people from the country, coming into town with a load of wood, waited for customers. The best of hickory brought $3 a cord, which is about tho price of the best wood at the present day, though that of inferior quality was sold at a lower rate. Such a thing as a cook stove was hard'y known, and all the cooking was done with wood in an open fireplace. Biscuit and loves were baked in a hake kettle, which had a cover with a rim around it, so that coals or hot ashes could bo put on it. In hotels and large private houses meats and poultry were roasted before the fire. A “smoke jack” was used in the former and it did its work a great deal better than any oven can do it. Roast beef and roast turkey at the pres ent time are misnomers, as a rule, for they are really baked. THK SMOKE JACK. My young friends, and very likely many of my older ones, do not know what a smoke jack is, and I have not seen one for forty years, thougli possibly they are still in use in some large hotels. Its construction is very simple. In the flue of the kitchen chimney a flange wheel, something like the propeller of a steamer, is placed so that it will turn readily. When a smart fire is made the hot air rushes up the flue and turns the wliceL It may have been supposed that the smoke turned it at a time when young people did not study physics in the day school, and this may have been the origin of the name. Tlio axle of the wheel projected out through the chimney wall into the room, about six feet above the hearth. On the end of the axlo was a drum with four grooves in it over which a chain could be passed. Long spits, witb a grooved wheel *ne end, were provided, over which the chain, eight or nine feet long, fastened i together so as to form an “endless chain,'’ passed. An iron stand, to which four holder* were attached, held up tho other end of the spit. Another stand j was placed near the grooved wheel by j which the distance from the fire could be regulated. The fire was made in a grate not more than six or eight inches deep, but from one to two feet high. From one to four spits were used as needed, and the jack was so geared that the spits turned very slowly all the time. Pans were placed under the spits, from which the cooks did the basting. Roast ing is better done with this apparatus than it can be done in an oven, for the I reason that the continued turning of the Special attention paid to tho buying and selling of real estate, collection of rents, Are.
