Thus Rolilofmizcd young Mr. Henry lenshall as he reclined, day dreaminpr, against the cushions of his seat in the forward section of a Warner car. The New York Central train was ppeeding him on and on, to which fact he was utterly oblivious. He had secured tho forward section to escape observation, lie at with his back to the passengers. Himself wa ipanionship enough. He desired only to think and to dream. He had but a few days since put Co- umbia college, so to speak, among his stock of reminiscences, with her highest honors in his trunk. He had mentally given over his father's great manufacturing interests, which invited him to take immediate posses sion and give the aged sire his desired retirement, to the devil and the deep blue sea. He loved his ideal best, his art next, the devil take what was hindmost. The, ideal was now his quest; art he could achieve between times. It was of her he dreamed his ideal. As he sat there gazing at the end of the car, deep in the contemplation of this yet unseen but ever clearly outlined Celestial ideal girl, with all the glamour of youth, the won Is of the great Solon to envious Croesus would thrust them selves between, his thoughts nnd seize him like some grim specter, 'Happy I may not call thee until I learn that thy life has been happily ended." "Why need what old Solon or any one else ever said concern me?" he mused. What difference does it make what people say or who says it? . A fact is a fact, and a theory a theory. One man s theory is as good for his own purposes as another's theory. The fact in my case is that I am satisfied to paint, notwith standing dad's wrath and the business ho would thrust on me. Let dad earn the money, or who will I desire only to spend it. "So much for tho fact. theory is, and I prefer it to Solon's, that to marry my ideal will be the acme of happiness and will insure a happy ending to my life. If I never find her more or less of my life will be miserable and will end unhappily." The young man failed to see that he had exactly conformed his theory to Solon's, that he had expressed the same theory precisely with variations in form only. Youth is deluded and ignores re semblances, those trifles which made Darwin immortal. He continued to muse: "As an artist my preferences run to browns. "They are my favorite colors, because to mo they are mot beautiful, most, quiet, most sincere and the least suggestive of cither gaudiness or gloom. My ideal, unseen, unknown love is a tym phony in browns brown hair, brown eyes and a complexion tinted brown rather than white or red. 'She is very small in statu'-.-, hence sure to be superbly perfect in form. Her little head is beautifully rounded and sjmmetrical, likewise her dimpled arm and her sweet little- hands. Her little feet are incased in child's boots, not larger than a child's No. 12. She is" He paused abruptly, startled, for he saw her. His eye had been wandering among the gorgeous tapestries of the car, the beautifully wrought woodwork, the superb French plate glass panes in the windows, the oil painted ceilings and the blue and gold woven velvets of the cushions. At last it rested on a mirror in front and above his head that slightly inclined from the top toward him sufficiently to exjose the entire car and all its occu pants in dim image, dim because his curtain was draAvn, darkening the light from the window at his side. He thought several times to change his position to obviate the annoyance, but he unconsciously seemed deterred from so doing. He was being slowly fascinated by a shadow as yet undefined, but momentarily growing more startling. He stared through the dim light at the mirror until his eyes became accus tomed to the shadows above, and the picture among the other images gradual ly defined itself. What he saw, that which wound round and round him silken threads of fascination, might have been reflected through a dozen mirrors from side to eide and from end to end of the car. Suddenly he turned and attempted to discover the original among the passen gers. Failing in this he again, sought the mirror, giving himself entirely to the study of one dim outline. What he saw was the head and bust of a young girl. It so exactly conformed to the ideal of which he had dreamed so long that he concluded the image must be a conception merely a psy chological ghost, as it were. There was his dream face, surely; the symphony in browns; the brown hair, every thread as delicate as the dew catching gauze of a spider; the large brown . eyes, in which was the very soul of the loftiest conceivable intellect, the highest genius of music, perhaps; the ccmplexion slightly tinted brown, but cut by the sweetest red lipe; the evi dently small stature and perfect form; the beautifully rounded and symmetrical head and dimpled arm. He only lacked a glimpse of the feet to complete the spell of fascination, ex cept of course the realization of his ab sorbing desire possession. He closed his eyes an instant to more completely imagine it all a dream. Again he looked to revel in the picture, but madness it was gone. Startled, the young man turned in dis may, when, to Ms almost uncontrollable joy, the grrl in all her ideal beauty slow- 1 i.i'li..--4.".

Tht i.rl hvsitated, looking at him fchy iy, as if iu doubt whether to wid. Why, hr could not for an instant imag ine, but he afterward attributed it to the fact that he actually devoured her, to far a one can devour a girl with the eyes. Htr hesitation was but moment ary, then she approached a small bilver watr tan!: ia the corner of the lobby near him. He w:u on his feet in an in.tant. He pprang to the tank, his tall form bond ing until his eyes were on a level with her, and he guzd at her with that eagerness and intensity with which u starved nomad might look through a window on an epicure's dinner at Del raouico's. "Permit me to assist you," he said gently, with difficulty controlling a de sire to grasp her hand. "Thanks, you are very kind," ventured the maiden, wondering at his eagerness end intensity of gaze. He placed the silver goblet under the faucet, letting the liquid ooz out as slowly as possible while he continued his gaze like one in a dream of delight. "The water is overflowing the gob let,"' suggested the girl with an amused smile. The man awoke confusedly, turned the wit r off and handed to her the cup. "Couldn't you let it run over a little while?" ho asked half impatiently. "The carpet will absorb it. I have been looking for you so long. I" "Oh, certainly, if you wish," she in terrupted. "But then I am so thirsty, you kne w.' He nUircd t!troitjlb the lim Ibjht at the mirror. "And so am I,-" the man Siiid wearily. "I was never ho thirst" in my life." "Then I a ..1 vise you to take a drink,' retorted the girl with a luh, and she abruptly turned and left him. "It is not for water I am craving, murmured the wretched man: but if she heard him she gave no sign of it. He watched h-r move down the aisle and enter the drawing room at the other end of the car. The reason of his ina bility to see her among the passengers was now evident. But how could her image be reflected in the mirror in front of him? His eye caught a quick solution. The transom over the door of the drawing room was open, home mirror on tne in side reflected the images of the people to some mirror on the outside and thence into the one over hi j head. Hungry and dissatisfied he aoated himself again to contemplate the picture and scheme to get acquainted. Now he recognized other people in the drawing room also reflected in the mir ror. There was an old man with a sober, dissatisfied face who looked as if he might be a disciple of Henry George deep in contemplation of land theories a woman with a just then unreliable countenance, who might be the ideal's instructress in music or other studies, or her governess, perhaps; lastly, the face of a younger man, say of 85 years. that bore in it cunning, malice, suavity and other characteristics which denoted a shrewd schemer and jcrhaps a villain ous nature. Was she traveling in security with an aged, absorbed parent and trusted friends, or was her father, if such lie be oblivious to the machinations of a vil lain, who had an accomplice in the sup posed governess? He resolved to probe this mystery to the bottom, if he had to travel around the earth to do it if he had to employ detectives, had to squander his whole fortune. Poor man! He little knew how much of his contemplation was to be realized in his future existence. Alarmed by the workings of his brain he suddenly resolved to paint the group as they appeared in the mirror. He raised the curtain near him to in crease the effect of the scene in the mir ror, but it only dulled out the picture" and he threw it down. From his valise he took a palette, his paints and brushes and a small square of canvas with a heavy pastboard back de signed for use in the absence of an easel He began sketching on his ideal. It was a joyous task, so much so that his whole soul became concentrated in the work, and the lines in which he drew the lovely face rapidly grew into a fac simile of life. Of course the best he could do during the remainder of the day was to prepare studies for more finished paintings later, Still he lingered long and lovingly on the face of his ideal until the study, un der the intensity of his love and long ing, became not a bad picture. The day gradually lengthened until he recognized that he must turn his atten tion to the others of the group or miss them by nightfall. They might get off at some destina tion north of New York. He must hasten. With feverish anxiety, intensified by the thought of her possible escape from him, he put away the paints and took to his pencil. By nightfall he had sketched the group, bo that all its characters might be recog nized bv the detectives whom he already purposed putting on the case if he should miss them. Mr. Henshall concluded that in the dining car at dinner he should have the pleasure of sitting at the table next to the group. To his utter disappointment dinner was served, to the party in the seclusion of the drawing room. - He entered the dining car on the last call and resort! to yuuiiuuns to org ! his brain into Pomi n"wttim for hi I relief. retorud to Li vctiou mid ! called the conductor, having waived no othtr scheme. Can yon tell me the name of the Iarty iu the drawing room uad their d tinatioaV" he nurriud anxiously. "I do not know their names, mi-d the official, "an the room wa inertly marked off to a party of four. How ever, I know that their destitution is New York, and that they have transfer tickc-ts either fur some steamer or rail road. In case of the latter they should be Irmnd southward; if abroad, thrir course is but a wild conjecture." "Find out for me where they are going and I will pay you fdO." " ery well, hir." But that was the hwt he saw of the conductor. When darknes wt in tho brilliant electric lights of the Wagner palace in creased the Intensity of the picture in the mirror. At last Henshall observed some move ment in the drawing room. The girl took a violin, and tuned it to suit her practised little ear. Soon there began to float through the car the ravish ing arias of Chopin, Schumann and other masters. If she was exquisitely beautiful to him before, .what could describe her when pouring her very soul into music? It was then that the beautiful brown eyes vindicated his sense of the artistic and his love of their color. In the mystic spell of that entrancing music he could sef clearly through tho perfection of her fingering, bowing, technique, finish and grace into her very soul, which was mirrored in herf-yes. He had listened to Ole Bull in times past, to Sembrich and even to Christine Nilsson when she had chosen to 6eize a violin and charm her friends; but in love as he was the music of the maiden for whom he was hue goring seemed to pale the efforts of those great artists. The very motion of the car was in harmony with her time. Passengers threw away their novels and listened. The old man in the drawing room closed his eyes as if in rapturous sleep. The villainous looking man, as if fascinated, thrust his face as near to hers aw he could without disturbing the player, and his looks showed passion, longing, and a malicious intent which maddened Hen- shall. As suddenly as the music commenced it ceased. The girl arose and put away her viohn softly and with a caress. Evi dently she was tired and wished to seek her couch. Had the young man hear.d what was said within, his anxiety would have been increased to a fever heat, but he had not that privilege, much to his later disad vantage. Soon the lights within the drawing room went out; the group had retired. Long in contemplation the young man sat. At last, merely to relieve the Dor ter, all the remaining passengers being in lied, he betook himself to his couch It was hours before his tired brain would rest, and it was broad daylight before he awoke to violently spring to the floor and dress himself. The car was stand ing in the yards of the Grand Central depot. The berths were all made up. and the open doors of the drawing room showed that his bird had flown. He sought the porter in a rage. "Where have they gone the people in the drawing roomr he ahnost shouted. "Don't know, sah. Don't know nothin' 'tall about it. Train get heah at 4 o'clock dis mawnin'. De passenges get up when da pleases. 'Specs de folks got up when da pleased." Mr. Henshall sat down a moment to clear his brain. He was stunned. Most of the night he had tossed in bed, hoping for an accident, a crash, a fire, anything, that he might spring to her rescue. Nothing of the kind had hap pened. Instead he had gone to sleep like a stone and let her escape. It was now 10 o'clock. Six hours had elapsed, sufficient for the party to have escaped by European steamer or to the south, or worse, perhaps to their home in the vast city of New York, where one individual is a mere drop in the ocean, a grain of sand in the Sahara, a moth on a great sequeia of California. The man arose and sought the quar ters of the cabmen. They could tell him nothing. No one had taken a party of four. They might have taken a street car or carriage of their own or walked to some near hotel, or worse, taken the elevated railway direct to the dock of some morning sailing steamer. There was absolutely no hope. In despair the man wandered away, vio lently clutching his painted portraits. the only possible clew in the case. II. THE CUP THAT SLIPPED. By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

It was offensive enough to me at home, when lit came but once or twice a day. It was still more so during our journey here, when I was forced to be in the same car with him; but now that yon tell me he is to live under the same roof, sit at the same table and ride in the tame carriage with us it becomes unlx.-arable. My hatred of the man increase hourly. Why need you compel me to associate with him so closely, papa?" The voice of the speaker was of that peculiar contralto quality winch in a re fined woman denotes passion and force of character, and in an ordinary one a coarse order of strength. It is a voice which alwrrs makes men turn to listen, and which echoes longer adown the strings of memory than the most bird-like notes of more musical and higher keyed voices. The face of the speaker betokened re finement, and this, together with her ex treme yotth and pronounced beauty, rendered the voice more remarkable. The elderly man to whom the words were addressed breathed a deep sigh. "My dear child, I beg you to be reason able," he said gently. "You know how ill I have been you know how alarmig my condition seemed ever after" "Dont, papa, cried the young girl sharply. "Do you not suppose I remem ber as well as you the events which killed mamma, chattered your health and ruined my young life? Why reca them now? ' . "Have we not come away to forget them, if possible, or at least to live down the effects? But I io not see how it will help ns to have that odious man under the same roof with us day and night.

In a cit t like New York or London or Piin. where we are to past our tinv of ev.l we could easily aink our identity with out living uuder false nanu." "The greatest city in the world i not large enough to hide tho identity oi a disgraced name,"rcsrindl tho old man bitterly. "Disgraced?

"Dr. Watsou, as you well know, is the first of many phj-sicians who gave me any relief from my Buffering. He wtu the last one to Ik called by nie, Ucause, like yourself, I had conceived a most un reasonable prejudice against the man. Some foolish and idle gossip concerning his private life, which arose from pure envy, I am now convinced, had wan"d my judgment. But from the hour he first took hold of my case I have leen a new man. I have been like one risen from tho grave. "It was he who discovered that old associations were affecting my mind dangerously. It wan ho who suggested a journey abroad, and, us yon say, under assumed names. A disgraced namo is like a deceased member of the IkvIv. II you have a wounded finger you ure in constant fear of hurting it, awak or asleep. If you boar a stained name you dread tho effect of it on every strrnger you meet. Dr. Watson realized what this strain would lo upon mo during our journey, and I must confess the relief I find under my alias is marvelous. You know how I have improved. The chill with which I was attacked the morning of our arrival, and which decided us to remain here a few inontlis ln-foro pro ceeding farther, ii only a step down on the ladder ot health since I logan to clamlx r up out of the valley of death. Dr. Watson is my savior. "I beg you to overcome your unrea sonable prejudice against hi in, my dear child. Whatever the errors of his youth I am convinced he was more sinn! against than sinning. He is your poor father's liest friend now, and as such you must consider him." "But why need he live here with us; Why can he not take a riK.m a few blocks distant, within easy call?" per sisted the young girl. "It destroys the privacy of our home life-arid it de.-trovs my ieace of soul," she added wildly, "to have him here." "That is the extravagant language ot youth," rejoined the old man. "Your prejudice is unreasonable, but I will strive to keep Dr. Watson from annoy ing you with attentions which he in tends only as courtesies to the daughter of his patient. "He must remain under this roof. Hit presence is as agreeable and beneficial to me as it seems to be unpleasant to you. In this matter selfishness is the greatest unselfishness on my part, for the restora tion of my health is the first considera tion for your future happiness." The sound of a key rattling in the lx;k, like a rat gnawing in the .wainscot, put an end to further conversation, and the door swung open to admit a niediuin sized man in his middle thirties, whose glittering, sloe black eyes rested njs)n the face of the young hwly while Ins words were addressed to her father. The lips expressed kind consideration for the invalid, while tho eyes expressed insolent and assured triumph in a fixed purpose. Whde he talked with his patient he kept his gaze upon the girl's face. She sought to avoid those glittering eyes, but they seenied to fill the room with strange light. .She took a bit of sewing in her hand and turned her br.ck upon him. ostensi bly to catch the receding ray of the af ternoon sun from tho northern window; but ho sroke her name, nnd for some reason unaccountable to herself tho turned toward him, drawn like the needle to the magnet. "Papa, I feel the need of the air. I am going out with Miss HLm Brown for a little walk," she said, rising ab ruptly. I I 4 imvWif'' '.t ! il'Z Mil TO "Papa, I feci the need of the air." "I have ordered the carriage to be here in fifteen minutes. Wait and ride," said Dr. Watson. "I prefer to walk," ehe answered coldly. "And I wish you to rids." he said quietly. Again her eyes were drawn to his and she sat down obedienuy. As they took their places in the car riage Dr. Watson seated himself opposite Miss Crawford and by the side of hex father. . The drive lasted two hours. It was dark when . they returned and Misa Brown was startled to hear her young mistress cry out wildly aa the door of To be continued - next week.j Ufa) mr PrSES -Vfs.'i' -'sum?.
