CHAPTER XX.
Lenora went tripping to her eham-i ,
ber afte,r her cologne bottle, looking
like a fairy sailing on the perfumed!
Eephyrs.
She bathed her face in the cologne
and soon returned to her friend, look-J
Jng like a lovely flower on a brighS ;
spring morning.
' "I am ready now to go down-stairs,'
Mrs. Bristol," and the two started off,' ;
ijrm in arm. . '
"Let us go to tho.library first. Lina; '.
vou told me yon were fond of roadin.i. '
ind now, while you arc herc salect a
book that you will like, and then when
vou return to your room tha hour 1
Won't seem so long." - i '
JeannHte v. ai sitting in the library
reading, but as they entered she lookwl ;
np from her book, while a low, in
distinct murmur of "How beautiful"
escaped lisr lips. ,
She wirs looking at the girl thit she
inwardly hated. She knew that if her
"little tramp" remained at the mansion
she -would no longer reign .supreme : '
yet in her envy and - jealousy she etrul I
not help but admire Lenora. She hv
been very busy getting ready for th i
ball, and had paid no attentioji what
ever to the newcimr; and, in fact, ;
the haughty girl did not think hci
"little tramp" worthy her notice. 1
So she h id not seen Lenora sine 1
the first morning, a3 she lay on the bed.
more dead than alive, until now, when
she stood beforo her lookiag like a
f jiry queen.
She scarcely noticed the " littLi
trainp," but turned to her book, as un
concerned as if one of the servants had j
entered the room on some errand ; bn
as Mrs. Bristol and her pet went on I
round the room, looking at tlie' great ;
shelves of lKKk Lenora Avas perfectly
happy, wlule Jeannette was growing
more miserable every moment.
. She could not read, for at the end ol ;
every line there was a beautiful face,
with such large, dreamy, dark eyes, .!
that feemed to sueak to her and nccusJ
her of false accusation. '
Jeincette tried, time and oga:n, in
b?come interested in her book, but all
over the pages that swe3t, haunting) ,
face "would appear, and finally she flung
the bcok down upon the table with r. '
bang, and left the library to return t.i i
her own apartments, but as she reached
the top of ths stairs she stopped an I :
listened, caught her breath, and listen1 j
ed again.
Some ono was playing on the piano, ;
and the music was the sweetest she had ;
ever heard.
"Pshaw! Who is that playing? H;
can't I e that little tramp, for I don'l I
believe Bhe knows anything. She de- r
pends on her face and form to carry hef
through the world. ..
"Just to satisfy my curiosity, I will :
slip down and see who it is.
"It is very stranga if any of thi
guests have come and Aunt Marguerite
ass not said anything to me about it."
She, too, was in the habit of talking :
to herself, acd kept up a low murmui ;
11 tha way down the stairs; but as she ;
stepped to the family sitting-room door, ;
nd saw who was playing, the murmur
i Jg ceased, and lier face waj white, even
'o the lips. It v.-as almost impossibl3
.? rherto Iwlieve her own eyes, but it !
ias actually her "littlo tramp" thai
as playing, and her aunt was sitting j
by her side, lo:,t to everything else ex- !
;ept the music that lier little patieni I
an getting out of that piano. i
W hue Jeannette stood there, seeing,
t ret unseen, Lenora began to si"g o.m
f lier favoiuc, and the song happened
X be a very difficult piece, in French,
that the proud girl had spent many
hours trying to learn, but as yet slid
had not succeeded; and here was tha)
mi erabla little castaway, that shi
hated already, playing and singing thai
very song, and without the music, too
. So wonder th.it she tremble 1 fron
head to foot with fear -that she wn
losing ground, while this "little tramp'
was gaining. -
No wonder that Mrs. Bristol's heart
swelled with prid i as she sat there,
listening to the music and looking nl
the grace and beauty of her littl i
protege. '
; "Ah! What will mv boy think ol
her when he somes? Thank God! h
will soon be here, and then I shall
know. I am - quite positive that she
remains, and I hardly . dare think of
the consequences, for I . love her so
now!" .
And Jeannette, just outside of ' the
room, was also thinking what would
happen when Raynardxame home.
"What shall I do? Judging from
Appearances, Anntie Marguerite has
taken her in. It can't be possible,
though, that she would be so blind and
foolish as to have such a character
tinder her roof any longer thanwas
necessary. They will come into the
conservatory by and by, and T' w-ill go
there and wait until they,- come, for I
am now anxious to see more of this
newcomer, and I shall find outirom'
Auntie Marguerite what she intends to
tlo with her. If she positively insists
on keeping her here, of course I cannot
help it."
Jeannette strolled on to the con
servatory, and im a short time Mrs.
Rristol and Lenora entered and started
down the long, beautiful walks. 1 ,
.As Jeannette sat in a rec;ss to the
right of the entrance, waiting for her
poor little victim, her thoughts were
very bitter. She could not realize that
she was acting or even thinking wrong, 1
for ever since Lenora entered the man
sion she secretly believed that she was
losing ground and not gaining her on
object m life simjily to be mistre3 of
the Bristol mansion. i v
"If Anntie Marguerite will not send
her away lefore Ray cornea there are a
few things that I "will do Ray, rny
Ray, shall never be alone with her, for
x am sure mat slie would exer! wicU a- j
influence over him that she woald soou
be able to dethrone me entirely.
"And another thing 1 shall malce it
my duty to attend to will be to inform
Riy how she managed to enter this
house before bhi ha a chance- to tsl!t
to liim. I shall show him just whatrl
kind of a person his mother has given l
a home, and then, my pretty lady, if
you arc not sent awnv from hero in
double quiek order it will be very
strange. Ah ! Here she comes now,
"and I shall find out what Auntis Mar
guerite intends to do."
As the two entered Jeannette came
out of her hiding place and accosted
them.
She tried to look very sweetly at
Lenora as she said : j
"How very nicely you do play; for
tunately for me I did not miss that
treat, and really it ws very charming. "
Lenora only thanked her, and said
that she knew very little about music.
;She then left the two standing in front
of one of the fountains, and strolled
down the walks, now. and then touch
ing with her lovely scarlet lips her
favorite flowers.
"Auntie Marguerite, have you found
out who this girl is that you have
taken such an interest in? She seems1.
very attractive, indeed, but what will
Ray say when he comes home and finds i
out who she is?" j
"My dear Jeannette, I hope that you j
win narnor no tears as regaras iina, o
worry as to what Ray will say. Fop
my part I havg perfect confidence in
her, and am quite sure that you were
mistaken as to her character; I believe
'that she is as pure andinnocent as a
ichitjj and it only remains for Ray to
jdeciUe whether she shall remain or not.
For my part not hing- would please mej
Jmore than tov have her here all thq
time. You can see for yourself that
she is a superior young lady, well edu
cated and is very beautiful. She ha
the grace of a' bofn queen, and thq
sweetest voice l ever . nearct. l navo,
ordered a Uress trom Jraris lor ner,
jeannette, ana x am going to introduce; :
her to the guests; I do so hope that j
Ray will be pleased with heritor I cei f
tainlyam." j
' "Oh, ves, that is evident to everv i
one in t he house, and no doubt but thalj
Ray will be pleased with her appear,
ance, but I hops that he will take into
consideration who lias been under his
"He may approve it, yet I doubt it
very much."
"That makes no difference, Jeannette,,
and I am willing to venture his ap
proval." As they talked they were slowly
walking down the walk toward Lenora.
fhe happy girl was radiant and was
sitting o:r a little" grass plot near . a
'fountain, while all around her stood
vases of her favorite plant.4, now in f nll
bloom. . x -
As the two ladies came toward her,
she looked up at them, her face flushed,
and lier dark eyes were sparkling lika
di'aininds. ,
"I feel so "..happy here, Mrs. Bristol;
it makes me think of springtime in my
once happv home in the dear old val
ley." " ':.':
,.Bnt almost before she ceased speak
ing, her face was pale with anger at
herself that she had forgotten again.
"We are pleased that you are happy,
Lina, and now, if 'you like, you may
gather a bouquet of your favorite flow
ers for your room."
Jeannette and her aunt walked on,
and Lenora began to gather the flowers
for -her bouquet.
"I tell you, auntie, there is something
wrong somewhare; did you not see
Jiow very strangely she acted when shu
spoke of her old home ? I, for one,
would not put too much confidence in
her." -
"Well, I eannot help what yon think,
Jeannette, but I am positive that you
are mistaken; of course, as vet. she
has told me butiery little of her past
life, but what little she has told me I
Relieve, and it do?a not lower her, in
my estimation, but elevates her."
By this time Lenora had gathered
her flow rs, and joined the ladies.
Jeanm-t'.e soon went to her room to
nurse her wrath, and Mrs. Bristol took
Lenora to '.he drawing-room, that
would, in a few days, be filled with
guests.
The house wa3 grand, and to Lenora
the present seemed like ,a very sweet
dream. They had gone from room to!
rroai, had been through all the guests''
chambers, and took a peep at the ser
vants' hall, mid then they went ' to the
"rooms of wonder." j
; Ruyuard Bristol and his mother,
spent a great portion of their time
traveling, and in those travels they had,
gathered many strange and beautiful
things. They gathered such quanti
ties on each trip that they soon had
such a large collection that it was nec
essary to fit up a certain part of the
m uiMon for these relics, and they
named that part the "Hall of Won
ders." What a delightful place ; this great
.hall was for Lenor.j, and how long she
Vemained there, feasting her ejas upon
the fine casas and the many strange
things that lay upon the shelves.
"You have seen most of the mansion
now, dear, and let us go to the art hall,
or, as Ray says, "the family gallery.' "
They then left the "Hall of Won-
ders," and proceeded tnrougn a nroa
. . -m -m -a
corridor thit led from the main
hall to the north wing, where the gal
lery was. This room was the most
beautiful of the whole mansion to Mrs.
Bristol, and she always took great de
light in showing it to her many friends.
The walls were covered with the best
selections from the most renowned
artists of the world. They passed on
and on, from one painting to the other,
until they came to the north side of the
hall, where the portraits of the family
ancestors were.
"That noble-looking lady and gentle
man just above you thero.Liha, were my
paronts, while the two farther to your
left were my grandparents. This beau
tiful woman here was an anntxf mine,
and yonder is her beautiful oh, heav
ens ! Lina, my precious darling, who
are you ? Speak ; I must know I" .
CHAPTER XXI.
The guests' chambers were all filled
on the day before Christmas, and the
mansion was a haven of beauty. All
wera happy except the old favorite
Jeannette. She had reigned queen of
all ever since she came to the mansion,
and now that she saw the possibility
of losing her place, and being com
pelled to give it t a person that she
considered no batter than a beggar,
she thought she was a much-tried per
son. Every moment she was : expecting
her heart's idol, Raynard Bristol, but
he did not come.
Noon had passed, and yet no Ray.
"Oh, I am so 'fraid that I shall not
see him before it is t oo late, and then
merciful heavens ! what shall I do ?
He is just like his mother, and now she
loves that hateful creature almost as
much as she does tim. Hark! Ah,
there, the great hall cl ek atriies
three, and he is not h.xre yet. I shall
jsoon have to le dr-ssed for dinner, and
if I cannot see him before then, I fear
all is lost."
Jeannette was pacing to and fro in
lier room, wringing her small, whit
Lands in her misery, while Lrnora Bat
fintetly in her beautiful parlor, reading
a book.
She still sat there reading, when a car
jriacre stormed at the front srato. and a
tall, fine-looking, well-built young man
Jigntly sprang Irjm tiie carnage and
Iran quickly up the stei.
Ho peemed to le at homo, an 1 so ha
was, for he was the master of the man-
sion. Lenora saw from tier window all
that passed at the gate, and wi ndered
who 'the tall, lian Isome gentleman was.
A deep shade of crimson t'nged her
checks as the gentleman glancrd up at
the window where she fat. His eye
rested a few moments on the pretty face
at the window, while a pleased lighV
shone in their dark brown d pths.
"I wonder who that young man .was?
Oh, how I wish I was away from" here,
or had not promised Mrs. Bristol that
I would go down vhde the-'guest j ara
here. I m so afraid that s m one
may bi here from Chicrgi! Well, 1
have a little heaJa-jhe, and will not go
downx for dinner' I never could live
through it, for' I suppose that everj
person who ' attend.- poriies stares at
'Strangers like me. I shall nev-r forge
that party at the Noll cottage."'
And she shudder d as she thought
of all she had endured while she was
prisoner.
While Lenora was worrying for fea
she might be discovered, and possibly
istolen away from her present happy
.abode, Ray Bristol and his mother
were in the library talking' ofwhat
had occurred since they -last saw each
other. --''
"Who are the guests, mother, that
are here this year
"Here is the list, Ray ; vou know
them all." .
He. took the long slip of paper,
and hastily ran down the column.
"Yes; but, mother, who is thai
young lady that occupies the blue
rooms ?
bhe has such pretty golden
! curis,
y In spite of his great effort, he could
not conceal the anxious look in hi
eyes. His quick, watchful mother saw
it, hud could not tell whether she was
pleased or not. .
"Why, Ray, she is a very dear little
friend of mine, that is staying w ith me
for the presenti Lina Rice is lier name,
but I call her my little Lina Sh
came here in a very strange manner,
but I have not the time to tell you
about it now. "
"Oh, mother! please do not excite
mv curiosity so, and then not satisfy
it!"
"I have not the time now, my deal
boy, to telK. anything for hark!
there is the dinner beil now. You must
hurry and dress, for no doubt Jeannette
wants to see you."
Mrs. Bristol left the library immedi
ately, but Ray sat there for s-ome time
thinking about what his mother had
Baid, while a strange, unusual expres
sion rested on his handsome fac3.
"I wonder why mother v. ould not
tell ne all about her, and why she
blushed so when I asked her who'she
was?"
"Well, no matter now. I shall see
the young lady before I sleep to-night."
He seemed somewhat relieved aftei
i-oming to this conclusion and went to
his room to dress for dinner.

Jarrett Hume, a Texan, died in Milan,
Tenn., of strangulation. Eighteen years ago,
while in Southwestern Texas tending a ranch,
he developed into a cattle thief, and in a short

into prominence as a rich rancher.
By and by it came to be known about that
many sheep"and other cattle were disappear
ing from various owners. Investigation was
made and Hume's thefts were traced. The
losers went after Hume, but he escaped,
going to Galveston, lit there had a silver
tube inserted in his throat to escape banging,
and went boldlv back to his ranch. The
ranchers caught him and left him hanging to
a tree, '
Next morning he was up and away to
another part of the State. There hebegan
his old depredations, and but a few months
passed until hot threat were made. This
accomplished nothing, and a'inob dragged
him from his home and Strang him up. He
was cut down and left for dead, but he re
covered, and went to the Mexican border,
where he began his stealing once more.
Not many mouths passed until he was again
found out, and this time guards were left, so
that the lynched man might not have a cliance
to recover. Next morning, a negro man
riding bv the stifl body, cut the rope and
released "him. Next day he recovered, and
hastily fled to Mexico.
He arrived in Milan several years ago, and
died from the action of the tube, which saved
him from death three times.

but the police got wind of it, arrested both
men, anil they were bound over td keep the
peace in Louisiana. Subsequently, it was de

were made for the meeting to take placethere.

arranged, faced each other.
Alter the word was given, some very active
sword play followed.. Mr. Bouby's weapon
soon passed within the guard of his antagonist,
and the point struck Mr. Carutliers in the
face, entering just below the right eye and
causing the blood to flow freely.-

that both men had acted gallantly, and there
was no occasion to pursue the matter further.
