THE MORGANTON STAR. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1888 X TI71 III M UUJLI, it S E I OR. The Mistress of Hazelwood. By GEXtAU) CAKLTON. CHArTER xxiil will tkytoil's search. 'Topsy," said Jack Graham, on Monday Horning, to the Jewess, "I am going to leave fou for a time. Talie care of our verdant !riend till to-morrow. If Buckley, a letter, ir a telegram turn up, let me know by send ing at once to Camberwell. Simply say I im wanted yon understand?" Topsy nodded. 4'My love to Buckley, shoxildhe comebe !ore me; and he's not to stir from here, mind, until I return." Jack Graham left the second-hand clothes ?hop, and went to the insurance office, vhere he told one of his fellow clerks that e was going to get married. The clerk old anotlier clerk, who whispered it to till another. This was just what Jack ranted. Graham left the insurance office at two in he afternoon, and proceeded rather ner . ously to his lodgings in Camberwell. He was particularly anxious about Will's movements, for he thought it very likely ;hat he would teke au active part in the Drosecution of Miss Bentlcy's inquiries, the landlady told him, however, that Mr. Tryfoil had not returned from Perthard. He went to his room, sat down, smoked, md waited. No Will Tryfoil, and no boy from the Jewess. He grew uneasy at not receiving a message of some sort from Buckley as to the failure or success of the story, nor did he like Will's absence, for it :onvinced him that that young gentleman vas engaged in the search for Ada: and Tack had a somewhat high opinion of Will's Drains. "I wish Tryfoil were here," he muttered, 'though I shall find it deuced hard to blind lim." At eleven that night he called at the fewess'. Miss Weutworth was in bed, she told lun; and his beautiful friend Iter or had net telegram nor had anv inived. He went back to Camberwell, a: spent i ratner restless r.rmt. x uesaay morning md afternoon passed away without his re ;eiving news of any description. "I believe the idiot has made a bungle of t," he said, bitterly. With this idea disturbing him lie lit his pipe, put on his hat and coat, anl opened :hs sti-i.-t door about ten o'clock on the Tuesday evening, with the object of making mother call at the old-ciothes shop, hoping lo find Buckley, or some communication from him awaiting him there. As he was about passing iuf.o tho street, l hansom cab drew up in front of the iu-. and out of the cab leaped Will Tryfoil. Jack saw him, and for one moment he ;vas tortured by the thought that Will sus pected the prominent part he had played in ida's abduction; but for a moment only, for the young man without discharging the hansom from which he had just alighted, eeing Graham standing by the street door, instantly ran up to him,' and shooi his hand heartily. Jack saw an energetic activity pervading his friend from head to foot a feverish, restless haste quite foreign to him. "Welcome, old fellow' he said. "The fever has left you and no mistake; there's health and strength in the very tips of your angers. The journey has done you good. Hold hard, though! Something's' up. What is it?" "First answer me this," replied Will, hurriedly. "Where were you off to?" "Nowhere. Why do you ask?" "Because I want you to give me fifteen minutes indoors to pack tp for me while I write a letter or two." "Pack up?" "Yes. Come along. I'll tell you all about It when we get inside." They entered their lodgings, and Will Closed the street door. "How about the cab?" Graham asked, while they were in the passage. "It's all right! I am going to get into it again in a few minutes. Come on! I have no time to spare. " Will ran up the stairs into hi3 bedroom followed by Jack Graham. Lighting a lamp on the table, he threw himself into a chair, drew the ink-stand to him, took one of his visiting cards from his card-case. seized a pen, and then raised his eyes to Jack's who was standing by watching him anxiously. "Whats wrong?" Jack asked with a forced laugh. "Have you married Miss What's-her-name Wentworth already, and (ire you off on your honeymoon, or has Sir Landy Lindsey taken you into partner ship?"' There were no sweet lips to be banished from, now that poor Emily was dead, so Will answered Graham's forced jest with the muttered words: "Hang Sir Landy!" Jack, however, was far from being at his ease. He longed to learn Will's news, yet he dared not ask for it, however eagerly he wanted to. So he laughed his loud,1boister ous laugh instead. "Don't laugh. Jack," said his friend, turn ing the visiting card over, and making a few faint marks with his pen in the center of its back. "Just now laughter distresses me. Saving our good little woman's death, I have never had such a blow as this, Jack." "As what?" "Miss Wentworth has been stolen from her aunt's house. That's all!" Graham was so much surprised that he sank into a chair. I'Eloped?" "Itioois like it." "Who's the man?" "That is what I want to know. That is what I am going to lind out. " "Who U suspected?" "Xo one," Will answered, looking intent ly on the few marks he hul already made on the card, and then adding a few more very carefully. "Miss Bentley has no visit ors. Sir Landy, you arid I, excepting her doctor, are the only men so far as Miss Bentley knows, who have pas sed through the gate of Hazelwood House during the past seven years. For my part, I do not be lieve that love on her side has led her to leave her homo, though I know that she has left it with all the appearance of wiilin guess. My idea is that she has been deluded in some way. " . Yt'ill glance d at his watch. ; "I have no time to spare." he observed,' "but if you',1 pack my. portmanteau while I am doing this" pointing to the card "111 tell you all about it. We want it to be known. I have put advertisements offering rewards iu two of to-day's papers. To morrow, and until she is found, every daily paper will have one. We haven't been go ing to sleep over it, I can tell you, Jack " Jack Grah-'iiii began to pack very busily his eve on ihe portrannteau his ears at tentively on Wiil s words. Hv ooea;ouauy raising uis eyes from jm e : u m. the back of the visiting card, out of whicL there gradually grew the outlines of a hu man face, as his pen skipped lightly over it. Will told Jack Gi-aham what we alreacl.v know Miss "Wentworth' s disappearance the search in the grounds, and the discov ery of the beggar's footmark in the flower bed. Xow came the second part. "The result of my inquiries in other di rections," said the young man, "was n ' very satisfactory, I simply learned thre things in three days, and none of them af forded any real clew to Miss Wentworth't whereabouts." Jack Graham began to feel easier. "What .lid you hear?" he asked. "That Buckley, the mendicant, had latelj been sending letters and telegrams from Perthard; that he had taken a ticket foi London from Martleborough Station about two hours after Ada had left the house, and that a young lady answering in some par ticulars to the description I gave of Miss Wentworth, had left the station by the same tram as Buckley, but had taken a first-class return to " "Beyond the footmark," questioned Graham, interrupting him, "have you any reason for mixing up this idiot in the af fair?" "Every reason. You'll hear presently. 1 returned to Hazelwood House about eight o'clock in the morning. I found that Miss Bentley had been crying, that all her ex ertions had been in vain neither she noi the person she had employed had dis covered anything. Sir Landy was in the drawing-room with her when I returned. He was sittting silent and sedate. She was pacing the room wild, unlike herself." j An angry flush came into Will's face as he got thus far. j "What do you think that banker had been trying to instill into her mind during my absence?" he asked, in a highly excited manner. Jack guessed at once, and the thought came to him that the story with which he had dispatched Buckley to Perthard would have been improved by placing Will in the position of the "tall, slim, fair gentleman." j He had not thought of that before, and he ; cursed himself for overlooking such an ad vantage, though it was too late to point to i Will as the man wiio had abducted Miss Wentworth. "Did Miss Bentley take Sir Landy's view ! of the case?" he asked. Will answered the question with a nenr- ; ous smile playing round his mouth. "Miss Bentley said ' Sir Landy had said so-and-so.' She saw my indignation; I could not speak, so she spoke for me: ' Mr. Tryfoil,' sho continued, ' understand, I don't ask you to deny this to me. I wiil hear no arguments, no assura icc,s from you. It is your duty to clear yourself to Sir Landy of his unjust accusation.' "She took my hand in hers as I was about to speak, and silenced me with the words: ' You need not attempt to clear yourself cf Sir Landy's accusation to me. I don't re- j quire persons to tell me that my name is ! Bentley. It would be equally superfluous ; on your side to tell me that you are not a villain. I am as confident of one as of the other.' " j During his last few sentence?;. Will Try foil had almost forgotten the drawing on the card. I He now bent over it and proceeded with his story. "1 11 pass over my sentiments toward ihe banker," he went on. "When I have found Miss "Wentworth will be the time when he wiil have to apologize for making the accu sation. I have no time to devote to myself until I find Miss Bentiey's niece. When I am free to act on my own account, Sir Laudv .Linsey will have to explain his con duct." , "Have you said this to him?" "Yes." "Is he still at Hazelwood House?" "Xo; he returned to London by the first train yesterday morning, promising Miss Bentley, who received his promise coldly, to do all iu his power toward finding Miss Wentworth, and proving me to be the man who decoyed her. But that he is older than I, and has done me some kindness, I must have struck him. I followed up the faint resemblance to a clew that I had obtained," continued Will, "and Miss Bentley, who found it impossible to remain inactive, ac companied me. We traveled to the town to which she had taken tickets. There we learned nothing. Passengers had alighted there by the last train on Friday night, but no one could tell whether Ada had been among them. The one small item of intel ligence that we gained proved, however, if it were to be relied on, which after discov eries made me doubt, that my supposed clew was in reality no clew. The ticket collector swore that he had only received one first-class ticket from the passengers who had got off that train, and tnat ticket was pink. Had it been taken at Martle borough it would have been white. After inquiring at hotels and lodging-houses, we returned, very much dispirited, to Perth ard. Will ceased speaking for a few minutes, during which he regarded with a critical eye the drawing he had made on the back of the card, and then, saying to himself: "It will do," placed it carefully on one side, looked at his watch again, and drew some note-paper to him. "Is the portmanteau filled?" he asked. "Yes," said Jack, closing and fasten ing it. "Let us have the finish of the story, for I am deeply interested. I hope I may be able to help you." Will told him the third part, which was substantially the same as the one Jack Lad concocted for Buckley. "It would be madness to disregard the man's story," continued Will, "and it would be foolish to put implicit faith in it. Miss Bentley and I have gone through all we know concerning Ada's abduction minutely. We have discovered numerous discrep ancies between Buckley's story and certain facts respecting him. "These discrepancies make us resolve on a second, or reserve string. There is one thing that makes me suspicious of his veracity; he has been sending and receiving letters and telegrams. His story contains nothing about these com munications. We have, therefore, set a strict watch on his future movements. There are ten eyes watching him even now. " Jack Graham coughed uneasily, for Buckley's silence was now accounted for. If the mendicant broke that silence while ten eyes were upon Lim, Graham and his scheme would stand unmasked. "Meanwhile," resumed Will, "I make two or three inrcortaut calls. I make inquiries at the Charing Cross station, and I sleep in the Strand, so as to make sure of the train to -morrow morning. Where are you going then?" inquired Jack. "On the supposition that Buckley has been speaking thj truth, 1 intend going to Paris." Jack Graham disguised "a sigh of relief with the words: "You are right!" He felt that he could breathe more freely when Will was in Paris. Wiil Tryfoil wrote his letter rapidly, fin ished it, and put it in an envelope. After addressing the envelope, he left his chair, took the card iu Lis baud, and stood up in front of Jack Graham. "You saw him once in the dark," he said, "is tnat anything like him?" With these words he threw the drawing on the table by which Graham was seated"! Jack looked at the face on the visiting card, and started invo untarily. It was the face of Buckley, represented by Will's clever Land with the truth of a photoeraph. "I should think," said Jack, "that it is an excellent likeness. What a repulsive face! What are you going to do with it?" "I believe I told you on that dark night, when you were so nervous, that tnis Buck ley had been at Wolverhampton in the character of a man both deaf and dumb. "Very likely. I think you did. Well?" "I have ascertained that he was in Wol verhampton for soma considerable tirne and I take it that I am just.fied iu conclud ing that during that time he went by 6omo other name also that whatever is known about him in Wolverhampton as at nil the places he has visited will not be to his credit. This letter and this s-ketch are go ing to the chief of police .there. The chief's answer will go to Miss Bentley." "You want to find something against the rascal, then?" "Yes," replied Will, placing the card in the letter and closiug tbe envelope. "Yes, on the supposition that his story is a lie." "Shall I post the letter for you?" asked J Jack. "Xo, thank you," said Will. Putting the letter in the pocket of his overcoat, he lit a cigar, put on his hat, and took hold of his pormanleau. They left the room, aud descended the stairs together. It was certain, Jack Graham argued to himself, that Will would not find Miss Wentworth in Paris. Upon this he would conclude that Buck lev's story was a lie. Was it equally certain that nothing againsl 1 Buckley had taken place m olverhamp ton? Xo. They would, armed with the knowledge of some delinquency, squeeze the truth from him, unless he was hidden from them. How could Buckley be hidden when there were ten eyes watching him. "I wish you success, Will, with all my heart," said Graham, when they had got into the street. Will sprung into the hansom, and grasped Jack's hand. "I am confident of success sooner or later." he said. "There are two roads to her. and I am going along both at- one time, I may say. My whole heart is in this search, Jack. I have to fulfill my promise to Mis3 Bentley, to prove to the banker that he in a liar, and to punish the villain who has stolen her. There are a thous.ind incen tives urging me on. Good-by. Thanks foi your good wishes. So surely as I have a hold of vour hand now, Jack, I shall find the thief." "I hope so. Will." "I am sure of it. Jack." The cab with Will and his porfmanteau drove rapidly from the spot. It seemed to Jack Graham, who stood watching it with a sullen expression cloud ing his face, that Will's energetic activity was apparent in the cab, the horse, the driver, and the speed. He still stood looking thoughtfully up the street when the vehicle, turning a cor ner disappeared. Jack's position now was anything but comfortable. "It's ugly!" he muttered; "confoundedly ugly!" That same night there came a messenger from the Jewess, with a letter from Buck ley. It was written in the beggar's spiT.wling, half illegible hand, and every word in it was wrongly spelled; but it caused Graham to exclaim: j "Thank heaven, he has tricked them!" i The letter, robbed of its bad spelling, ran j tans: "All right, governor. Back safe again. Had four or five pair of ogles on me, but, managed after much dodging, to give them' the slip. Make no error; they don't know where I am. Went to D on foot, and after doing a few fakements to my mug and togs, came up to London in the same train as Tryfoil. Shan't budge till you come!" TheVaius of Eggs. Eggs are a meal in themselves. Every element necessary to the support of man is contained within the limits of an egg shell, in the best proportions and in the most palatable form. Plain boiled, they are wholesome. The masters of French cookery, however, affirm that it is easy to dress them in more than 500 different ways, each method not only economical, but salutary in the highest degtea. No honest appetite ever yet rejected an egg in some guise. It is nutriment in the most portable form and in the most con centrated shape. Whole nations of man kind rarely touch any other animal food. Kings eat them plain as readily as do the humble tradesmen. After the victory of Muhldorf, when the Kaiser Ludwig sat at a meal with his burggrafs and great capitains, he determined on a piece of luxury "one egg to every man, and two to the excellently valiant Schwcpper man." Far more than fish for it is watery diet eggs arc the scholar's fare. They contain phosphorus, which is brain food and sulphur, which performs a variety of functions in the economy. And they are the best f nutriment for children, for, in a compact, form, they contain everything that is necessary for the growth of the youthful frame. Egg? are, however, not only food they are medicine also. The white is tho most efficacious of remedies for burns, and the oil extractable from the yolk is regarded by the Russians a3 an al most miraculous salve for cuts, bruises and scratches. A raw egg, if swallowed in time, will effectually detach a hh bone fastened in the throat, and the white of two eggs will render the deadly corrosive sublimate as harmless as a dose of calo mel. They strengthen the consumptive, invigorate the feeble, a:il render t'm mod; susceptible all but proof a0ainst jaundice in its more nv.iligant phase. The merits of eggs do not eve end here. In France alone the wine c'.a. .iiers u?e more than 80,000,000 a year, and the Alsatians consume fully 3, 000,00-) in calico print ing and for dressing the Icaiher u-eel in making the finest of French kid gloves. Finally, not to mention various other employments for egr3 iu the arts, they may, of course, almost without trouble on the farmer's part, be converted into fowls, which, in any shape, are profitable to the seller and welcome to the buyer Even eggs-shells are valuable, for allopath and homeopath alike agree in regarding them as the purest of carbonate of lime.

The whole doctrine of forgiveness is illustrated in this parable. God s iorg.ve ness of us ii the ivaso.1 why we shoul i for give.

Ail tli' so in -id nts are necessary to the parab'e as lliustrat a human trim fac tion, and nre not to bu. elu ded as measuring the divine mole of :'o,fe:venes ;. It was m verse 2ii teds us "a ma:i k.u ' that didthis and the s-e-llin, an I th? plea, and th prom ise, and th.; forgiveness on that p;omie, all belong to that vide. Two great truths aio il lustrated by the parable, i. e.y 1. There Is no limit to the exercisa of for giveness, and 2. He who has rcvived forgiveness from Go.l, will always extend it to -ian. For the sebiug, sea 2 Kings, iv, 1; Lev. xxv., 3.M J; Ann s viii., . And the obj-ct of the selling or hiring out was to pay oil tho debt by the labor of the de'.tor. V. 2vo0. It is a most significant point that itwcsAh?n the "servant went out,"' i. from his lord's presence that lie found his in.iel t?d fellow-servant, lie had r.o time for such search when h stood b-fore his lord. His own great need occupied him then. Jtut when he went out from his i reseiiee. when freed from its restraint, and his own threat ened doom, lie coul i look up the little matters of his fellow s, rvai.t's in !elte Iness to him self. And what a contrast is here .' " Tea thousand talents'' on the one sid?. and a "hundred pence' on tho other. Yet this taking by the throat, this "pay me that thou ovebt;"' this easting into prison how clearly a'l this tel'.s of cue who has no sense of for giveness in his own experience. . V. ."1-:I. Here again we have the human side of the parable, tho o; orations of the "man-king.1' Beyond question, verso -'A modifies and explains v. 27. Clearly the debt that was forgiven could not le en forced, and the debt that was enforced could never have been forgiven. So that the prin ciple hera involved i: Tht i c.V'-j- of th Divine forgiveness in a given case, wi 1 le shown by the reality of our forgiveness of those who sin against us. There is no such thing as re-enforcing the penalty of sins th it had once been forgiven. The unmerciful servant was not troubled by his gn at debt. He would willingly have made it larger if he had not been brought to the King. It was only the penalty that troubled him. And he whom that servant represents is the man who thought he was converted when he was only terrified, and who had no use for the love of God beyond the fact that in some way it could save him from the iaialty of his sin. And when ho goe3 out from the Lord's presence; when his sense of danger is lost in the promises of the Gospel, the current of his old nature tlows on as liefore. Why should he not have his hundred pence ? W hy should he not claim that which is his due? And so his claim to have been forgiven is proved by the ruling spirit of his life to have been utterly without foundation. Tho prin- cipie, xnereiore, noias goal m every case that he who refa-os to forgive shows that ha himself had never been forgiven. And noiv in reviewing this parable we learn: 1. That the duty of forgi vene -s Is absolutely unlimited. How, in:l?e I, can it be otherwise, if it fiow3 out of what God has dono for us? " Even as I had pity on thee," is the Divino rule. Therefora to ono who has been himself forgiven the right to rof uso fergiveiiass does not exist. Ho w can wo reach tho limit of oar " Feventy times seven? " 2. Our sins against God aro practically without number. Is net this just the meaning of tho ten thousand talents of tho pariblef " We cannot answer Him ono of a thousand.1 The offences of our fellow-men against ourselves aro in compirisoa insignificant. Viewed in any other light, measure I by any other standard, they may bo very jrreat. But the para bio sets the one over aaint tho other: our ten thousand talents, with our fellow-servant's ons hundred j.-oa'?. And that ccnipa::Ton rara iins. An 1 Uhj pract -nl operation of this truth i, that, b.x;m. (Sod has forgiven us, wo ought also to forgivo ono another. It follows "from this tnat the power leading to forgiveness i3 not ono of tho forces of oar nature. It is not native amiability of temper. It is simply and alone the sense cf Gods pardoaing love to us, flowing out in forgivo n 'S3 to others. As a neeess ty. therefore, where tho sr?nso of that love is absent, that forgiveness cmnot apjiear. And just in this line aro to bo traced tho facts of the Christian life. When wo go out from tho pres?n;:o of the Master or when tho sense of His love is faint and col I within us vo sha'L like tho unmerciful servant, claim tho hundred ixmeo of our folio v-servaufs in lebto Inoss. Only as His presonco is consciously with us or only as His love is the ruling power of our life can we walk in lovo to all around us. Only so can bo imitators of God as dear children. Epli. v., 1-2.

Peruvian Work. The siivadors or musical jugs found among the burial places of Peru arc mo.t ingenious specimens of handiwork. A silvio in tbe "William S. Vaii collec tion at riiiiadelph'.a consists of two vase?, whose bodies arc joined one to the other with a hole or opening between them. Tho neck of one of these vas:-s is closed, with tli3 exception of a small opening in which a clay pipe is inserted leading to the body of a whistle. "When a liquid ii poured into the open-necked vase the air is compressed into the other, and in escaping through the narrow opening is forced into the whistle, the vibrations producing sounds. Many of these sounds represent the note? of birds; one in til3 Clav collection of Fhiladel- .. . . . - .i , imitates the notes of the me other member of the phh, Tcnn, robin, or some thrush tribe peculiar to Peru. The closed neck of this double vae is modeled into a representation o"a bird's head, which is thrash-like in character. ' Another water vase in the same collec tion, representing a llama, imitates the disgusting habit which this animal pes ? esves in ejecting it? saliva when enraged. The his-ing sound which accompanies this action is admirably imitated. A black tube of earthenware, ornamented with a grotesque head in low relief, to which short arms are attached pressing a three-tubed syrinx to its lips (Clay col lection), deserves especial mention, as it suggests the evo'.utio.i of the instrument from a single tube to mere complicated forms. Peruvian woven tissue?, often eljed in brilliant hues, are unsurpassed by the textile productions of any other ancient American people. Their jewelry of gold and silver is remarkable. Statuettes in the rec'ous metals are even more woa derful; they represent monkeys, birds with their feathers, lish with scales, &c. modeled iu relief or intaglio. Human figures were als-j cast in precious metal, the artists even attempting groups. Pc-ads were made of gold, sil ver, gr'.ss and earthenware. Wood was used to furnhh objects in daily uc, and an example may be s-cen in the beauti fully ornamented combs that ars some times placed beside tho dead ia the huacas. Sic'ns Cvo-. A Buzzard's Keen Sn33 of Smell. At a meeting of tha liiological Society of "Washington, an interesting paper was rcael by Mr. C. L. Hopkins on the sense of smell in buzzards. This much debated point was strongly set forth by Mr. Hop kins relating his experience in Florida. It was the uniform testimony of the Florida "crackers" that buzzards ob tained food by smell. He observed that buzzards never left their roosts on damp, foggy mornings until the ground and shrubbery were dry. They would then move slowly across the wind until a scent was struck, when they woulel work up the wind until the carrioa was found. 1 Sometimes they would drift down the wind, pass their prey, until they struck the scent, which would be followed up, rinding the object of their search some times in the densest scrub. He had on several occasions killed wild hogs in the scrub and after dressing them and taking what meat he wished, would see twenty or more buzzards coming down with the wind. On several occasions covered offal had been detected by them. They had also discovered a buried snake.. Several other instances were related, which, in Mr. Hopkins's opinion, conclusively proved that buzzards find some of their food by scent, though that did not pre clude the possibility or probability that they obtain other food by Science. sight.
