"My dour girl!" Hind Stanley, ten

pressed to his lips.

"f whs Hiiro I heard voices, hero

Mis daughter hurriedly explained
iud lie .1 t l.iako light of the matter:
to her Mirprise, Mr. Hiiniilton
v.i inclined to tiiUo it seriously,
I, '"It iniist ho u striking rOHeiuhlaiiee,

in a jefetiug manner, Imt with a very

"ive have always aeeejitud you at

"Kuiirely, bir,'' repliod .Stanley,
very Millly.

earfl,
. "All right, 1'olly, my litilo cirl,"
rettiruuil lier father,
Hilt, later mi, he naid to his wife
tli.it hi mu.iut to make morn nud very
t-ju' iiil'iu piii ies about Polly's lover.
"I never emild iindci'-itaii.l his e

'Nothing iviiihl ho i.nuo natural,"
h'eliilMl Mis. Hamilton, "eonsidcrin
how he was Heated there."
"Perhaps no," ret uruul her hus

'riien Polly may yet lu Connten

1 1 atuillo.il, forgetting everything else
in tliu ileiight of that thought.
"Not a word on the subject nt
prCKOiit," fiaiil Mr. Ilatuiltou. "It is
tin entile iieeret."
Meantime t'hirenne'.s evening had
imt been pleasant, although I'ully had
tried to atone fur her father's ehil!in
A.ords by the increased warmth of her
own Huiilcs; nud, at nn unusually early
hour, Hlauley bade thuiu nil good
night, nu-.l walked moodily to'vaidt
l.is hotel.
itis relleotioiis were not agreeable,
nud the mood engendered l.v the
events of tho evening had given rise
to many eurrenls of thought, dome ul
vhichhad never before occurred to
him. Ho ha 1 not hutMi 1 lolorvs thiit
i veiling, .Silo hud not appeared nt
tho dinner table, nor had she come
into the draw in -room uflerward. Ho
was painfully conscious of her
iibsonee, and could nut tell why; and,
despite all the iinuoyttnoe caused hy
Mrs. I Ul in li Hz ui) I tho luanuor of
Mr. Hamilton, apropos if that un
pleasantness, the face of iJolorns
Heeiaed to continually rise heforo
lii a, and the voice of lolores to
nuiii 1 in his ear, and this fact troubled
lii in . tor in his experience of women it
v. un rare. He never thought of thorn,
except when for Hume specitie reason
he persistently tlxed his maid on
some one of them; even then he often
found it dit'.ieult. lint now, do as he
would, ho could not drive this xvouinu
from his thoughts; then he suddenly
remembered Van Tassel, and he wis
huro ho had not soou him for many
days, although ho had commanded
him to couio daily; ho remembered
this with a sudden feeling of fury,
u ud asked himself why his slave had
dared to disobey him?
"Hut, ho will come to-night," l e
thought triumphantly, "for I promised
hi. u money, and he was nearly it his
last dime thc.i. Oh, yes, he will come
lo'iie t night!"
He hastened his stops and was soon
within tho hotel; and, as he hurried
toward his room, he saw that the light
v. 4j eliuitnerincr through a -raok of
the partly opeueJ door for the pro
fessor carried a key of Stanley's apart
lueuts. "1 thought so!" he muttered; and,
Hinging opeu the door, he eutered
noiselessly, slawming it behind him
mid locking it. Van Tassol looked up
w it'a an expression of reckless defiance.
He was just recovering from the iu
t "xieatiou of opium, and for brief
moments he would have defied Satau
in puvou. Stanley had chanoed on
1 1 : i . in these moments.
"What the devil do you mean by
uluiiug at uxe iu that wav'r" hd asked.
(rcasdre,
"Haven't I the right (o eiilrr rnr own

"Why haven't ymi Imm'U In in rvrry

"Iid you hid me ho? Winn' I

Vim Tif.d'l lioiindeil to his feet us

"Voil huvo Neon ( 'elest iueV" ho re

"I thought hho wn-i dead, 'atln:t -Clarence-

"Ves, lean see vou were deceived,
just as she was; but now wo have met
again, nud hho means to give mo

"Hut yon fdiall do her just ice, Carlos
yon shall. 1 loved my little sister,
you remember, and had she rnme to
mo had she not left me at all, I lavi r
would have kept your secret."
"Well, you v ill keep it now," re
turned Stanley, with a sereno triiu-
I n i 1 i t y that never failed to overpower
his companion, "and there is no occa
sion for worry about your little sis
ler. ,She has feathered Iter nest in
the downiest m iiiiior she is tho wife
1 nf the mo-.t 11.. Mr, tho I Mill til vou
Hi lmholt.:, and I couldn't marry her
over again now, to save nil our lives,
t Mi the contrary, 1 w ant to iiiarry some
ouo tdse understand me, Van, I want
to in irry this sumo one else; nud now
, do vou sen what is the matter?'1
"Vou love her?" gasped Van Tai'sel,
"Vou want to marry I'nlorcs Meiiihoa
because you love her, and you know
it mi l ndiiiit it?"
"True as truth itself X have only
just found it int., nn, to-night. I
may have hu 1 giiuip-.es of it before,
hut I didn't know what it meruit, the
.lcusatiiiii wns so new nud delightful.
Oh, 1 tell you it i.s the real thing I
troiiiblo and choko at tho ight of her
1 feel good and tioblu when I'm in
her presence. I would do nuylliin ;,
everything, only to win nil iippiovm
smile from that girl."
"1 wiirno.l you not to let her gain a
power over you," said Van Tassel,
gravely. '".She will never love you,
nud now you have lost your only
uhance of gaining anything from her.'
"I tell you will gaiu her. After
nil I liavo learned from these mighty
tomes" and ho waved his hand
to vard the books brought to him at
vnri us times hy the professor "shall
1 not bo able tj inouueri.o ouo slight
girl?"
"Xo, imt if she possesses over you
th it power which is greater tliun all
other the eternal magic of human
love. Let her alone, my W-y, and
keep nway from her, for she will never
return your love. She is too fur above
you, and you can neither bring In r
dnwu to your level nor can you rise to
hei-i. lrop mesmerism mid all be
longing to it ; vou are idaviiig w ith lire,
and will mnely bum your hands, lVr
the sake of old times, nud niuco Celes
tino is olive uud well and, perhaps.
hrtpny, I wiil give von a word of good
advice, though you have not deserved
it from me. Marry the pretty Miss
Polly, who loves you, and bo good to
her, nud give up the iinpossibl
Wretched, tol loi il and l rolell-dow u
w retch us 1 am, t have known great
power, though 1 have lost it; bat ymi
know nothing, Clarence, on the great
subject, and you never w ill. Neither
your mind nor vour heart can grasp
it. It neu.ls a pure and noble pur
pose, a miud above this lower world
and a heart tree from all passion
either for woman, gold or vengeance.
Only uucli can uuecee.t; all others are
bound to fail."
Stanley bur.-t into clear, ringing
laughter.
"Weil done, Van. I set you ci
your little hobby-horse, and you have
ha 1 a ino J little ca'.itet . So; cu! Now
come o'V and take a rest."
He was already m iking the well
ku uvi and iiui'i'sitod mesmeric
passes; and Vim Tassel, who had ex
hausted the l'ltiul energy bestowed on
him by the stimulus of opium, was
iiuickty under the power of his mai
ler's will, end presently lay back in
1 1 is chair, unconscious, the hclples
victim if the strength that has no con
science. Statilev's face had become fiend
il.O to its concentrated rpi .so:i .-!
:J.l aud cruel sel.ioUucss.
, "Why have you not been Ticrc every
duy, its I commanded you?" he nfked,
"Jiccauae I found tbr.t 1 could re
sist your will."
"What gave you that power "
"1 aa'.v that your will was under t!i;3
iiilliieiieo of a higher will."
"Is it so now?"
"Not nt this moment; the vil in
your nnt hid is now predominant r
all other ipialities.itud it is tho strong
est pal t of you ; it controls me through
the worst part of me, which responds
to it."
"Through I I can also control !)
lores?" And the speaker's voice was
almost tremulous with eagerness.
"Never! Her nature is too purJ
and V.olile- so line that it even at
tracts Jl lie iiniull lcuiiiftul of good in
yours. Vou can only overcome her
through fear. Her feminine eon I is
so ih li'Mto I hat you may terrify her,
hut she is protected hy all high and
noble aspirations, and though you
can trouble her, it is through her lovo
for her friend. There are moments when
like fears you w hen ymi are cut in !y
evil and when she thiinks from you
the most, then she i.s im-i-t nt your
mercy, for womanly terror overcomes
her, and she has le.t yet learned her
own power. I!ut, beware! For il is
as I have told yon, uud ymi arc piny
ing with lire."
Stanley smiled disdainfully.
"Thanks," he said, lightly. "Ad
vice grutis, but not appreciated, as
usual. You have saved in. a heap of
trouble, Van, iu humming up the
knowledge of this library of the oc
cult sciences with which yoil huvcpio'
vulcd ino, and which makes my head
spin when 1 try to read it, I prefer
to take my wisdom iu small and con
centrated doses. Wait u minute and
I will lot you go. "
lie went ipiickly lunar. I nl.iiieau
iu tho further part of the room, and
when he returned, In carried a slender
dagger about a loot long, which lm
had drawn from tho sheath In I.I in his
other hand.
"Vou l'lvoguizo it, Van," he said.
"Vou remember giving it to me when
I lost the other one. It ha i your
name imgraved on the steel. I have :
lu it it ever sine as a souvenir of our 1
friendship. I am going to lend it to
you, but he careful of it, I couldn't
hear to have it lust."
A convulsive shudder hhook the un
conscious professor from hea l to foot
as Stanley, having relumed the dag
ger to its shea! !i, now placed it care- !
fully in the half closed hand thai tell i
over the nrm of the chair.
' Put it in your pocket, Van, and
keep it carefully till wanted.''
Van Tassel's lingers idowly eheed
Upon thn object he felt within his
ha.'nl, lull he seemed to null. a deter
mined effort to disobey the hitler pint
of the order. A cold dew of terror
was on Ins brow, Ins i loiitn twisted
in n I i I I V lilld his ( Vi ll.i l twitched;
and, raising his arm forcibly, he
i.trovo to ding the dagger from hi:.i;
and he muttered:
"Nn, no; I will not! Though you
should summon the powers of hell to I
help you, I w ill not obey:''
Hut his lingers r .'maiued closed, and
his ut iu presently ilr-'pped back,
powerless, anil lay drooping over tliu :
I arm of the chair. ,
"Vou mistake, Henri," ."aid the
voice of Slaiilev, cold nud ineim -ii.g :
and irresistible to the soul tluit heard j
it. "I hnid put the dagger in your
pocket and keep it safe till I bid you 1
use it. Ihi you understand?" j
"I understand," moaned tho victim, j
"And you obey?" j
"I obey." i
His hand moved itiichly toward the
inner pockit of his coat, and the dag- .
gcr was cai efully concealed there. j
A few in i n ii t s later, Proles.-or Van
Tassel was silting up, pale and
trembling, but ipiite awake, helpless- j
ly ga.'.ing into the smiling face ef hi ;
mioter. I
"It is ipiite an easy matter to mes I
iiierio you now," paid Stanley, j
"Alter this, I shall be able to c.iitr'oi ;
you at a distance. Vou will obey my
thoughts,"
Van Tassel shivered till his teitli ;
chattered.
"Clarence, ymi are merciless," ho ,
iiaid iu a husky whisper.
"Not a bit of it," laughed Stanley. 1
"lie a goml dog, and vou w ill hint me '
a kind muster. Ah, before I luri t .
it!" 1
He drew out a handful of gold and
bills and dropped them into the shak
ing, outstretched hand of tho miser- ;
able wretch before him.
"Ainl now go home andilcep. T
have hud enough of you for to nk l.t,
professo"'." '
Ho unlocked the door and llung it
open, and as he again closed it on the ;
retreating form of Van Tassel l.eouco
more turned the key and shot tho
bolt. i
"Happily, he cannot pass through
bolls us well ns locked doors," ho
said, with a grim smile; "or else, !
poor old Van, I think he won 1 1 like
to eonio back and use the dagger now,
or, at least, when he finds that he has
it. "
