CHAFTKB X - When I told Dr. Merrick of my good fortune in finding Rose Strent, or, to nse her stage name. Rose Gernon, he' "was considerably astonished. The case, had taken hold of him so completely that he could think of nothing else. He had a large practice and attended fairly. Veil to his patients, but informed me: that he did so in a mechanical fashion, more or less, as his brain was busy' With the Pen inn mystery. We were now wonderfully familiar, 'considering the short period, of our acquaintance, but this was doubtless due to the inter est we both todk in the case. VTJpon my word, Denham, ' said Merrick, rub bixg his head irritably, "I wish you 1 not come near me with your hallu ations. Instead of attending to my jiness, I think of nothing but your mysteries. The sooner we unravel this riddle the better will it be for me. You are an idle bachelor, so it does not mat ter much to you, but I am a busy med ical man, and this infernal business worries me greatly.. At this moment I ought to be attending to a patient, in stead of which I am wasting my time with you.'- ' - "Shall I go away?" .No, confound you I I wisn to see the end of this affair, or I'll get no peace of mind. It is too lato to.remedy- the matter, so I must have riy curiosi ty allayed by learning all . tho ins and". outs of this enigma. - Come, let us begin You have found Rose'Strent?" Yes. She is a burlesque actress and plays at the Frivolity theater. Her name in the programme is set down a Rose Gernon, but this is doubtless her stage name. Rose Strent is her real one. " ; I . I'm not so sure of that, " said Mer rick sharply. "If she went into that Fen inn business with her eyes 6pen, she doubtless took a false name, bo as to baffle inquiry. " Then what about the landlord, who called himself Edward Strent?' ' Oh, we must find out all about him also. No doubt his name is false also. Did he look like her father?" "Well, I can't say that there was much likeness between thorn. , He looked to me like a valet. . I "A valet," muttered Merrick reflect ively. "Queer! I .wonder if he really was a valet valetjto Felix. " 4 'Tt, ocq l,zM'l Mm nrvTTT "It is not impossible. ' He has Felix in his power and can stay on just as he likes. It's my opinion he'll stay till he a nensioned off. Case of blackmail. I fancy." 1 i: 1 "I thmk Rose Gernon is blackmailing Felix also." . "Quite so. What else can to expect? Or else," added Merrick, looking straight at me, "it's a caso.of love and marriatre. " "What! Do you think Felix promised to marry Rose if she helped him to get rid of his brother?" "I think he might lead her to believe he would do so." "This is absurd. Merrick," said sharply. "Felix is in love with Oliviai. The motive of the crime was to gain possession of Olivia's hand. Rose would not' help Felix if Ehe knew that " "Precisely. If she knew it. , But it's my opinion that' she does not know it I believe Felix trailed her into belief that he would marry her if she gave her assistance, but her has nof the slightest intention of keeping his promise.' "And what excuse could he make for wishing to murder his brother?". "Ah, there you have' me! j I don't know that . Of course yon and 1 are aware of the real motive of the crime, but Rose is ignorant of it She thinks she knows, no doubt, but I'm certain she been put off with a lie. ' i "But he can't keep the information from her for ever. Even if I he keeps quiet, some one is bound to tell her that Felix is engaged to Miss Heliin. "There you are wrong,' isaid Mer rick, with grim jocularity. 'Every one thinks Francis is engaged, to Miss Bel lin." ' : v. 1- "Yes, but Rose Gernon knows well enough that Francis is dead, and that the engaged man. must be Felix posing as Francis. " "There's some truth in that, " admit ted the.doctor, lpoking puzzled. "1 sup pose he must have" kept that fact from her so far, a3 I don't see what possible explanation Jie'could give her." "Always assuming she is in love with .him," said I musingly: "OhJ as to that, I am certain it is so A woman like Rose Gernon drawing a good salary would not mix herself ; up in such a dangerous business merely for. money. There" is a stronger motive, and that is love. I'll lay anything, " con tinned Merrick, in sporting phrase. "I'll lay anything that she is madly in love with the fellow. i "Welt and Olivia, thinking Felix is FVanrfs. loves him madly also. If these two women come to get her. there will be trouble for Felix. " , I "Eureka!" cried the doctor, jumping mvexeitedlv. "the very thing. When thieves fall out you know the adage. "Let us bring the two women together and see the upshot " I "Threwill simply be a row. "isaid I. "What is the use of that?" "This, V" retorted Merrick sharply "that when Rose finds she has been be trayed she will reveal all the mystery nnt f,t revenue and assure Olivia that Felix is not Francis. "" I That's not a bad idea, Merrick; also it might occur inai ouyia re ouui- thinar in her-turn. ! 4 Impossible. She can't possibly know the man's villainy, else she would not think of man-vine him. " I "I suppose not. and yet! ' I added re- fWHtrolv "T nironldn't be surprised if she were coamizant of Felix's move menta on the 10th and 11th.' She cer tainly Btnck nn for him in the' most amazins manner at the first interview. " "Of course she i did. because she be lieves he is Francis. Depend upon it, uoctor, she knows nothing, and If we bring her and Rosa together there wHJ be a revolution and a revelation. I "It's worth trvinir at all events. But thowcan it be managed?' ' . 4 "By working on the natural jealousy of the sex. Tell Olivia . that Felix re ceives a woman in his rooms every even ing!' ..: - : "Oh, hang it, Merrick, " said I, red dening, "it wouldn't be delicate even to Of course I don't mean yon to put (it to her in that barefaced manner, said Merrick hastily, ''but. handle the matter delicately. Wrap it np in sugar. I leave it to your own judgment In any case you must rouse the jealousy of Miss Olivia Benin and induce her to come with you to the chambers of Fe lix when; he is interviewing Rose. " 'She I wouldn't come without, hex mother." "Then bring her mother along with you. , Xros is a serious matter, ana 11 doesn't do to be squeamish." "Then do it yourself, " said I angrily. "I!" said he, taken aback. "No. I don't know Miss Bellin. You are the proper person. Besides it's better that she should know the truth, even at the cost of a shock to her delicacy, than be tied to a brute like Felix, as she cer tainly will be. " "Not if Rose can help It " "She can't help it if 6he doesn't know. And the only way to spoil the game of Felix is to bring the two wom en face jto face. Their mutual jealousy will doi the rest, and instead xf going to the altar Felix Briarfleld will find himself bound for the scaffold.' "True enough. WelL I'll try. Mer rick, but it's a job I don't like. " He laughed at my scruples and tried to show" me that I was really doing Olivia a service in being so plain spo ken, but in spite of all his arguments I departed from his house in low spirits. I did not relish the idea of interviewing Olivia ion so delicate a subject, yet 1 saw it I was imperative and therefore made up my mind to carry through the business at whatever cost of personal inconvenience to myself. That is the worst of being an amateur detective. One's feelings are not under sufficient control. The next day I called at Swansea square and sent Up my card to Olivia. As it so happened; her mother had gone down to Hurlingham with Felix, .and she remained at home on the plea of a headache. She 6ent down a message to the effect that she was unwell and asked me to excuse her, but I scribbled a 'few lines on my card asking particu larly to see her. This time the servant returned with the information that Miss Bellin would me for a few minutes, and I j was shown into the drawing room. 1 ieit nervous, nut, determined to go through with the-matter, managed to screw hp my courage. ,It was a most unpleasant task, but very necessary if I wanted to attain my object When Miss Bellin entered, I coulq not suppress a start, so changed was she in outward appearance. As I said be- "fore, she was a talk well developed 'and very beautiful woman, but now she had grown thin, and. her face wore an anx ions expression. I. could not help think ing that she knew something about the tragedy at the lone inn, as I could con jecture no other reason for her ill health and manifest discomposure. She came forward, with a nervous i. smile, and greeted me in a low voice. "My mother and Mr. Bnarneld nave gone to Hurlingham," she said, sitting down on a lounge near which my chair was placed. "I am not sorry for that," I answer ed gravely, "ibs I wish to see you alone.!" . What is the matter, Mr. Denham? Have ! yon anything very terrible to tell me?" I think it is terrible. "' About Francis?" she demanded anx iously. "Yes. About Francis, " "Surely you are not going to begin again aDout tnac iooiisn matter you spoke of at Marshminster. " "No. It is not about that " Olivia passed her handkerchief across her lips and gave a sigh of relief. The expression 01 ner iace was so strange that I was more than ever convinced she suspected the truth. "I am clad you have given over that mad idea about Francis being i elix. she said at length. "I canntft conceive what made you take up so strange a be lief. Felix is in Paris.' 'I know that Miss Benin. I saw him there." ' - ' This I said in the hope of - startling her. but she did not move a muscle of her face. Either she was keeping well in hand or was cognizant of the fact that Felix had gone to Paris for the purpose of deceiving me. If so, she must have known he was not irancis, and also that my story of the lone inn trag edy was true. It was on my. tongue to ask her if she was aware of the terrible truth, but on reflection I judged it best to let events : evolve themselves. Fate could manage these things better than a mere mortaL I knew you would" him there, she said coldly, "but I cannot conceive why you should desire to convince your self that-1 spoke truly. ''Because, Miss Bellin, 1 believe that the man who calls himself. Francis is really Felix. " "The same old story, she said lm patiently. "You are mad. If you saw Felix in Pans, vott must be convinced that you are making a mistake. " f 'Well. Miss Bellin, we will waive that point for the present I will call the man to whom you are engaged Francis." f'As he is," she interpolated imperi ously. I let the remark , pass and went oh with my speech. "You will no doubt think me highly impertinent but wish to warn you against the so called Francis Briarfleld. " ; v I "What do you mean, sir?' . j "Simply this: While at the Fen inn I was waited on by a woman who call ed herself Rose Strent That woman is now in town acting at the Frivolity the ater under the name of Rose Gemon. " 1 "And what have I to do with such a creature?" she asked in a trembling voice. " j J ! V'-' 1 "Nothing, but your lover has every thing to do with her. " i "Mr. Denham!" J We were both on our feet by this time, and she was lpoking at me with wrathful eyes. The crisis I so dreaded had come, but it was now too late to re treat, and there was no help for. it but to go on. "Be angry with me if yon like, Miss Bellin, " I said as soon as I was able. "but it is in your own interest I speak.' ! "My own interest!'" ;"Yesl This woman Rose Gernon ia in love with Francis B"-- "No, no!" she murmured, her face growing white. "Yon are making a mistake!" -':- "It is true," I said doggedly, "she was with him at his chambers yester day evening at 8 o'clock. ' She will be there tomorrow evening at the same time. I learned that fact today !' r . 'Did you come here to insult me, sir?" asked Olivia in a voice tremulous with rage. ; "I came here to do yon a service, but if you look upon it in the light of an insult I may as well take my leave. " "Stop, sir!" she said, placing herself before me. "You shall not leave the room till I am convinced of the truth of your statement Why should Francis meet Rose Gernon? . "Why should Roso Gernon play the part of awaiting maid at the Fen inn?" I retorted. 1 "How can 1 tell?" "To further the schemes of fthe man who is to marry you, Miss Bellin. She loves him, and he loves her. " "No! I tell you it is impossible. I trust him. I love him. B could not be such a mean villain. " "I can prove to yon that what I say. is true. " i "Do so, and I will believe it If it is true," she muttered, clinching her fist, if it is true, I shall bitterly punish him for the deception " "Come with me tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock to Briarfield's rooms in Jer myn street, and I'll engage you shall see them together. " "If I thought -so but, no, she said. breaking off impetuously. "I cannot coma How can 1 now can 1: "Ask Mrs. Bellin to come with yon, " I suggested. ' "I cannot do: that She looked at me strangely for a mo ment, then walked to the other end of the room. When she returned, her face was flushed with anger. "Why do you come here with these infamous tales, sir?" she cried excited ly. "I do not believe you. "Put me to the. proof. Come tomor row evening, and you shall see for your self." I "You are the enemy of the man 1 love." - !' . "I am the bitter enemy of the man who pretends to love you because I be lieve he killed his brother. "Mr. Denham, I could tell but, no. no! I must be; silent " "What do jyou mean?" asked 1 ea gerly, thinking she was. about-to reveal her suspicious. Olivia thought for a few moments, then put. her hand suddenly into mine. "I will be with you at a Quarter to S tomorrow, and if it is true' what you srj4-oh, if it is true!" "Here is " my card," said 1, forcing it into her hand. "Wear veil and J tcill be cith you at a quarter to 8 to morrow." come to my rooms in uukb street. will await you at the door, and we will go to tho chambers of this villain. "He i3 no villain." "1 1 say he I is.- Miss Bellin, and I'D prove him to be so tomorrow. " "Do it " she said, fixing me with a glance, "and you shall -see how bitterly I shall punish his treachery, ftow gq. Mr. Denham: and meet me tomorrow evening as you have arranged. " I bowed and left the room in silence. As I passed through the door I looked back and saw she had thrown herself On the couch; crying bitterly. The sight perplexed me. "Does she know anything, " I thought, "or does she believe Felix is really Francis? Well, when she and Rose Ger non come face to face, the truth will be revealed." ! The truth was stranger than even I suspected. ' j . (To be continued in our next.) This to About Time. Charlotte Observer. Before the Mormon missionaries al get out of the State and the excitement which has attended their invasion en tirely subsides, , we want to submit 1 s held-over paragraph from an editorial about them, which appeared in the Monroe Journal three or four weeks ago : I - i "A man who-can be upset in his faith by Mormons will sooner or later be up set by something, else. .'.It's hardly worth while trying to keep him in line. As soon as he gets straightened in on one side be is sure to kick out on the other and it's only a question of time till be is oot of harness anyway." p Come to think about it rightly isn't there reallv a eood deal in this view of the matter? r 1 : .

Quite a hubbub was created in Wash ington recently by the adoption, of ian ordinance forbidding bicyclers to Ose drnn handle bars in the streets. Th ordinance provides that "no cycle slia! be ridden in the streets with the lower end of the handle barstm a plane lower than four inches below the top of the addle at its center, and-rthe rider shall at all times keep his. bead in such Tuition as to command a view of not less than 200 feet ahead."

A man- who is simply pjoeted on rent events, to say notrfing training and religious influences deliberately makes up hi4 mind wrong thing is about as ranch fool as he is knave. While all t ature declares that there ie a God. every wrecked life ! and prison wall and courl of justice and hangman's rope tell as id louder tones than God has spoken it that it does not pay to do wrong. Poor Saunders, the alleged Southern Express company robber, with a con science that made him surrender and somebody s else disgorge tbirty-eeven hundred dollars of the money, with wrecked life and ruined hopes, could preach a sermon today to the young men of America that would cause them to halt and think and reform while the sermons of thousands of preachers would fall dead upon their ears. Bat what a mighty sermon is preached" every morn ing in our daily papers ! This one gone wrong; that one gone wrong; a suicide here; a murdered man there; a wrecked home yonder and a blasted character here, et cetera. The man who does not believe that the way of the trans gressor is hard does not believe any thing. He has doubted until he now doubts whether he doubts or not. The sooner young men learn the lesson thoroughly that it is not only right to do right and wrong to do wrong but that they cannot afford to do wrong and that they cannot afford not to do rights the better" it will be for them, and then they have learned the lesson that forms the very basis of all usefulness here and all hopes of good hereafter. "By the sweat of thy brow shall thou earn thy bread." Some men say, Is God s curse pronounced upon men? It is God's, wiee direction to a childi Em ployment is the very safeguard of char acter; industry is the yery basis af man hood. There is more in labor than the dollars and cents j which labor brings. Employment is worth more than emol uments to any man. A man who doe9 good work on half pay is getting along Detter tnan trie fellow who does sorry work and gets double pay. Fidelity to the task undertaken ! Desirous first to do well the thing you are doing, ' and making all other considerations second ary, is the very ground work of patience and when a man kwes patience and gets in a nurry 10 oe rich, then comes the dangerous period. Human weakness CQupled'with temptation brings about the condition-of things which would wreck the world. I had rather follow a plow for a dollar a week than to follow Leiter, the Chicago wheat deader, at a million dollars a year. A man can plow his way to manhood but he can only speculate himself to hell. ' "All's well that ends well, gentleman: aua me ena is coming, some men s 6ins go before them to judgment; others - I il 1 n follow on. This is true every day and everywhere. I have seen it in the court house in my own county, where men s sma went before them to judg ment Bins that wrecked their character. destroyed the confidence of the people 01 the cocimumty in their integrity and convicted them at the bar- of public opinion before they were arraigned at - - the bar of justice in the courthouse. Their sins went before them and con demned them before the dav of judg ment. I have known others whose sins follow them and overtook them at the courthouse, when one- witness after another brought up a chain of evidence that came at last with its rccumulated force and crush them under the wheels of justice. With the big dogs of this country who. are speculating and ca rousing ann gambling,- their sins are following after them. They don't seem to be ahead like the locusts of Egypt eating up the country before they come on; but the hounds of hell are after them on their heels. They will over take them. The valuable lessons of life are never learned by some until they are too old to be benefited , much by them. If a young man at 16 to 18 or 20 years of age could have the know ledge of things which the experiences of 20 years of future life would give him, he could emter the battlefield thoroughly equipped for the fight These little dressing, drinking," billard-play ing, club lounging dudes and boys of rich parents and prospective sons-in-law 01 rich men, it they could but see themselves ae they really are they would ran irom themselves lute a nigger -1 runs from a ghost.

The big seceation Atlanta has had over the woman who went in the barrooms of tlanta and got drunk is a fraud on creation. I said once that I could prove that no gentleman that God ever made would go into a saloon, and tome fellow hollered out; ''Prove it" I said: "Will any ladv -go into one?" He hollered out "No." "Then." said I, "if a lady can't, will a gentle man?" Ah, gentlemen, there is the rub You not only want a double standard bimet alli8m, 16 to 1 in dollars and cents, but you want a double standard for man and woman one standard erected to the skies for Women and another one on a level with the mud holes for men There is not a lady in Atlanta who hasn't as much right to get drunk .and swear and gamble as any man in At lanta, God being the judge. ; There isn't a preacher in Atlanta vbo hasn't as good right to rent property to saloons and bawdy houses or to belong! to the Capital City club or to go into a saloon and drink liquor as any man, in At lanta, God being the judge.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb, 11. William Jennings Bryan has demonstrated again his fealty to the cause; of silver. From the proceeds of his lectures of last year Mr, Bryaa purchased a fine tract of su burban property. For some time his tenant has been trying to have him dig a well, and last week work was begun. This morning the well expert was at the Bryan residence bright and early. In his coat pocket he had a double hand ful of fine black sand. This he excit edly showed to Mr. Bryan and began to dilate upon the value tf his find. j"But what is it?" asked Mr. Bryan. i'Don't you know? Why. that is eold bearing sand. See thr- " But Mr. Bryan's hand had gone op in protest "Not that, my friend; not that A ever mind the sand; go on with the well-.

I i i The Sons of the Cradle. Bye.bye ! Hope rises high; There's a sweet little cra dle hung up in the sky; A dear little life that is coming to bless ; j Two soft chubby hands 5 that will pat and caress; pure little soul wind ing down from above; A darling to care for, a In the days when Eve sinned it was writ ten that motherhood should here, after be ac companied with pain and sorrow; but this curse upon our fore-, parents has been light ened more and more oaoyio love. as mankind have learn-1 ed to rise superior to many of their sins and mistakes. One' of the grandest agencies which en lightened Science has discovered to relieve motherhood from excessive suffering is the "Favorite Prescription " devised by Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y. This wonderful "Pre scription " imbues the entire nervous sys tem with natural, healthy vitality; gives elastic vigor to the delicate organism sne- Lcially concerned in motherhood: renders the prospective mother strong and cheerful and makes the coming of baby entirely free from danger and almost free from pain. The delighted gratitude of Mrs. Pearl Walton, of Alvo, Cass Co., Neb., will find an echo in the heart of every expectant mother: j' . . f "Previous to the birth of my child." writes Mrs. Walton, I had no appetite, was sick at my stomach, had headache, could not rest at night, was completely worn out in every way. I com menced to use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and began to improve right away. I used two bottles of this great medicine and felt like a new person. At the time of confinement I was in labor but a little while and I owe it all to that great remedy Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip. Dr Pierce's Pellets cure constipation.
