J CHAPTKU II.
A ItrMARK AM.E ADVENTt'FK,
The number which had been given
him was 3flt Hast street, and,
though he had never leen in just the
locality indicated by this address, he
thought he knew the region and what
to expect ther". Had he not passed
through many of these uptown
treets. even to the water's edge, and

I '10:1s rows of similarly fashioned brie'.;
; or stone houses, unless it were by the
Intrusion of a brewery or a church'.'
It was, therefore, an ngiveahlo sur
prise to discover that tin' especial
block in which h" was lor the moment
interested was 1101 like other blocks,
even iii this nuart.T. but was broken
up by a stretch of odd-looking houses,
which, if somewhai worn anil dilapi
dated, still preserved an air of pietur
t'SiUcnrss sadly lacking in most of our
third-rate dwellings.
There were four of them, all of 11
slae. all of a grayish-brown color, all
with carved strips overtianging the
window tops, and all with square
wooden pillars In front. Though their
general appearance suggested past
vealth. It also as certainly betokened
present Indigence, notwithstanding the
fact that before one of them there
slued nt this moment 11 carriage of
style and elegance sutf'K-ient to prove
it the prhate equipage of a peixm of
means.
r.cing In r.n artistic mood be was
greatly attracted by thes- old-fashioned
structur 'S and fell unite au un
reasoning desire to enter tlicni.
Long before he came near enough to
be sure of the numbers they boro lie
had begun to reckon onward from the
one be was passim; to see whether "HI
would be found on any of them. lie
soon came to th conclusion that It
would, and presently was quite sine
of it. and. as he approached nearer lie
was pleased to see that it was upon the
house before which th-.' carriage was
standing. Why he was pleased at this
he would have found It hard to tell.
I'crhaps because the house looked a lit
tle sombre and oppressive as he came
within full sight of its closdy shut
tered windows, mid to one of his gay
and cureless temperament any hint of
companionship was always welcome.
There was a bell at the entrance, but
he did not ling it. For just as he
stretched out his hand toward It ti:e
door opened, and he saw before him a
young servant girl of a FOinewhnt va
cant countenance, who quickly lieck
oii'd him in. As bis foot crossod the
threshold the clock from a neighboring
church pealed out the stroke of S. "1
am prompt," he Inwardly ejaculated.
The hall into which he stepped was
dark and seemingly unfurnished. There
was no carpet on the lloor, and If there
were any doors In sight they were all
closed. IVellng it a somewhat chilly
welcome he looked helplessly at the
girl, who Immediately made another
gesture In the direction of a staircase
that rose In a spiral a f?w feet beyond
1:1m.
"Ioes Signor Montelli live tip stairs?"
he inquired.
She gave no indication of h-'aring
him. hut continued to point to the
staircase. "Is she deaf?" was his men
ial Inquiry. It would seem so. Some
what dashed In hU spirits lie wc.it up
the first flight ami paused again. Hark
ucss and solltud:' were before him.
"Well, well," thought he, "lliis will
not do." And he was about to turn
about In retreat when he reinenils.'red
the bank-bill In his pocket. "That was
not sent to me for nothing." he con
cluded, ond, taking a closer look into
silent space before him he jvrceived
four doors.
Making his way to one he knocked.
There was a hurried sound from with
in, and presently the door was opened
and the face of an old crone looked
out. Her features lighted up as she
saw him. lmt she did not speak. Volut
ins as the girl had done she indicated
the room he should enter, and then
withdrew her face and shut the door.
"This Is an adventure." was his men
tal comment, lmt he had no further
notion of retreat.
Following the guidance of her finger
he crossed the hall and pushed ofen
tho door toward which sh had point
ed. An ordinary room of faded aspect
met his eyes.
But barely had he entered It when he
was met by the old crone and led rath
er than escorted through another door
Into an apartment so brilliantly light
ed that for a moment he found him
self dazzled and unable to jH'rceive
more than the graceful llgure of an
elegant woman dressed In the richest
of carriage attire, bending over what,
seemed to be a heavily draped couch.
But In another Instant his faculties
became clear, and he perceived that
what h? supposed to be n couch was
la a reality a bed of death, mid that
the woman before him was engaged in
strewing blossom:! of the richest 1" nit
ty and most dc'iieat.' fragrance over
the body of a young girl whose face
ns yet he could not see. Sonic lilacs
lay on the tlror, half on. half off the
edge of a suowy drupery of soft wool
which fell from th couch, taking
from It the character of a lsd. and
lending to the whole scene an aspect
of poetic beauty which was in no wise
diminished by the rows of was can
dles that burned at the head and the
f"Ct of the dead.
It was a picture, nnd for n moment
lie looked on it as such, but In another
the lady, whose occupation lu had in
terrupted, turned, and. seeing him.
stood upright, meeting his gazewith as
tonishment and a half veil"d delight in
her tine violet eyes, then, as he did l:ot
speak and hardly remembered to bow
she colored slightly, and with a
strange, swiff inurement thst torn: mm
wholly by ici-prlse, glided from the
room.
Then. Indeed, h" slarted and tried to
follow her. Bui it was loo late. I-'r-j
he had reach 'd the threshold he heard
the front door shut, and in au instant
after the carriage drive away. Strange
adventure! For though he did not
know her nam" he knew her face, had
sei'tl It once 111 a hi'gi' crowd, and
charmed by its perfect lineaments had
I ro'ided upon Its memory till he had
idealized it Into the picture which we
have already described as th. chief or
l::lli:ei:t of his studio.
"An 1 dreaming?'' he ashed himself,
and he cast a sudden look about him
for the old crone who had ushered him
into the room in the hopes of learning
from her the name of the lady who
had just left thorn. lmt by this move
ment bringing himself nearer to th
pulseless figure mi tic com h, he found
himself so enthralled by the exquisite
low-linos of th marble-like coiinie
mi!! o he now, for the first tini '. had
1111 opportunity of seeing, that he for
got ill" Impulse that hail noved him.
and stood pctri"id 1 astonishment nnd
delight.
For If what hn saw before hi -i
formed th" picuir-' he was expected to
paint, how beautiful it was! Never i:i
his fancy, proline as it was with lovely
forms and faces, had lie beheld a
countenance like this! It was angelic?
In its purlly and yet human in its quiet
look of grief and rcsignal lop. It had
llil-'S as exquisite as those we see in
the Ideal heads of the m ist famous
masters, si nd yet ci! scarcely nw
tho.e lines or the delieaf ' curves of
cluck and chin for the express;,;!
which steeped the whole in heave idlest
sweetness. If d, ad then no living
woman was fair, for she seemed to
hold nil beauty within the scos. of her
p -fished personality and to compress
into the narrow !-pae shone upon by
those two rows of candles all the love
linos and the mystery which had
hitherto ciishrie.-.,l the world of Wom
ankind In his eyes. Her head reposed
upon a white silken pillow, across
which streamed a mass of midnight,
bnir In n tangle of gn at lustrous curls.
One lay In motionless beauty on her
breast, nnd ko unlike death -.as tho
whole vi.don that he found himc!.'
watching this curl In eager niiiieip::
t lull of seeing it move with the risiir;
and falling of her breath.
But It lay quiescent, ns did the wax
en lids above the closely shut eyes,
and nt this discovi ry, which provi d
of a surety that she was dead, he felt
such a pang of despair that he know
that whereas lie had hitherto looked
at a woman with his eyes he was sur
veying this one with his heart; that a
feeling akin to love had awakened in
his breast, and Unit this feeling was
for a dead linage a soulless, pulseless
Utor.'el of day.
The consciousness of his folly made
him blush, and drawing back he again
looked about him for the old crone.
She was not fur away. Seated nt one
end of the apartment, in a low chair,
with her figure b.-nt forward and her
head buried In her hands she was
rocking slowly to and fro in what
aeemed like silent anguish. But when
lie approached her and she looked u;
there were no tours in her eyes nor
signs of trouble ab. nt her sordid a::d
almost sinister mouth.
"Where Is Signor Monti 111?" asked
the artist. "Is h-. not present? I al
lude to the gentleman who wrote men
note this morning requesting me to
come here and draw him a picture."
But she made no reply that Is. no
Intelligible reply. She murmured some
words, but they were In n language he
did not recognlne, nnd the mystery
seemed to be deepened rather than
cleared by her presence.
"Can you not speak Kngllsli?" he in
quired.
She smiled, lint evidently did not un
derstand whnt he said.
"Nor French ?"
She smiled again nnd muttered a few
more of her foreign words, this timo
with a deprecating air and 1111 entreat
ing gesture.
He knew n smntterlng of Spanish
and tried her with that, but with, no
iK'tter result. JUscouraijetl, he repeat
ed the one word they both knew.
"Montelli? Montelli?" he cried, nnd
look'.'d about him with peering eyes.
This tiin- she had the appearance of
understanding his meaning. She made
a gesture toward the street, then point
ed to hers-'lf and courtcsled. Finally
she laid a finger on the portfolio under
his nrai, smiled and led him up to the
young girl.
There wns no misunderstanding this
pantomime; he was to draw a picture
of the dead. Satisfied and yet vaguely
uneasy he bowed and opened his port
folio. The old crone brought forward
a chair, then a small table, and cour
tesying again disappeared once moro
In the background. Ho took the chair,
opened his portfolio and began to con
template the pietur?' before him.
It was perfect, even from au artistic
standpoint. Had he arranged tho
eruch, the drapery, the flowers and the
lights k" could not have made a more

find an excuse for readjusting Un

" Kollipei-R" For Utile Tolk.
A large percentage of infantile nnd
childish happiness depends upon wear
ing such garments to play in ns will
not require care lest they be tumbled
or torn. It is 11 perfect nuisance to the
child to be constantly recalled from
any sport and to be incessantly can
tinned lest clothes Is- soiled or disar
ranged. The greatest sufferer Is the
little girl of active habits, says the
Philadelphia Kecord. who Would like
to climb a fence when It comes in the
way oil her inning or who secretly
longs to climb on the low crotch of the
apple tree in the orchard and sit there
half hidden in green leaves and play
"bird" by singing.
It Is a real kindness to provide- such
n child with a wash flannel frock,
with a shortish skirt, or with a stout
gingham frock of a dark color, which
will sec good service wif limit looking
disreputable, as a white muslin does
win 11 the starch is out of its rutltes
and flounces.
For little children, nursery tots from
three to eight years old, one inn con
fidently recommend "rompers." over
tills of denim or Holland linen, which
have a hih-like front cut under the
chi 1, and with straps going over the
shoulders. If you do not see the size
you like ready-made In the shops, get
u pattern and make them up In the re
quired size and style at home.
Stains of green are hard to remove
when they murk the underclothing or
the skirts of little folk who have lieen
playing on the hillside. They will
not be seen 011 the tough denim gar
ment and would not look amiss If they
were in evidence there. Il is best to
provide two pairs of rouqiers. and then
the energetic infant can have one to
wear while the other Is In the washlnb
or In the chest of drawers, ready to
be used lu the next "relay" race, which
Is the natural history of the wardrobe
of an active child.
Don't For Hie Teeth.
rton't think you can be a beauty
without gooil teeth.
Pon't bestow less care upon, you:
teeth than upon your complexion''
Don't brush across the teeth, but up
ond down, the upper teeth from the
gums downward, and the lower from
the gums upwind.
Don't go to bed without brushing
your teeth, for It Is at night when the
tongue is in repose. The acid of the
siilivn gets in Its work on the teeth.
Don't sleep with tie mouth open.
Pt:st and gritty particles floating In the
atmosphere enter the trap thus set for
them and injure the enamel by Infla
tion. Don't let tartar accumulate on the
teeth, for It brings a whole train of
evils in lis wake. Have it removed by
a dentist twice a year.
Don't use a gritty powder which con
tains gritty, acid or Irritating sub
stances, as the first two act injuriously
on the teeth and the lai two upon the
gums.
Don't line one side of the mouth only
when rating, for then the teeth have
not all the same amount of eserciso,
ami decay sets in more rapidly on one
side than the other.
Don't crack nuts or bite thread with
the teeth.

suggested she should buy another at

When you lie down for your after.

sitHicienily fortunate enough to take
one, never omit to draw over you a

lhe "creeping chill" usually felt on

D is not au easy matter 10 make a

Long capes ore to be worn as cloaks,
and they are show n in such a wide va
riety that it is possible for every one
to find what they want. The newest
development in this line Is 11 complete

admits that when her husband, S. F.
Cody, of Texas, began to experiment
with these Hying machines she .offered
many pangs of anxiety. Now she has
the greatest confidence in the Inven

she says, who has the nerve to ride in

hounds, ought to liml greater enjoy

these pastimes.
Pastel blue never had n greater
vogue.
White lace en applique Is delicate
on hyncinth-blue satin Liberty.
Fewer white dresses are worn over
colored slips than ever before.
Narrow strappings in clusters tire
better liked than wider, single ones.
A da Inly shade of violet Is most mod

With hardly an exception, bows on
hats are small, some absolutely square.
A butler-colored point de Venlse lace
rots' is exquisite over ivory-white satin.
Fanciful strappings, ending In oak

past.
A bow Is a pretty finish for the rib
