"Because I am Stanley Vernon, the •oiy brother of that unhappy man," be said, quietly. Rose uttered a little erf of astonish- *ent "Tee," he added, "this shameful fam­ ily history made me almost loathe my name. I have borne that of Vere tor many years. Under that name I met and loved your daughter, sir--un­ der my own, I shall soon ask you for her hand! But for the present let it fee my task to clear up this mystery. "I came home from Italy as soon as I heard this house was let. It was m mistake upon the part of the agent; but 1 should be the last on earth to regret it. But I must take precaution •gainst a similar event. This is no lit lutbltation for any one." "Then it la really haunted?" asked Mr. Cowley. '1 fear it is. Rose, will you go to ,)tnr mother, and, gentlemen, will you follow me.M They obeyed him without a word. He went straight to the butler's pantry and took up a spake and pickaxe^ al­ ready placed there by Mr. Cowley. J y brother's wife died delirious, and one ever knew where she had buried the child, which I was quite •ertain she had destroyed. I had my •ospiclons at the time, but I longed to bush the whole thing up as speedily as possible. Now, however, all must be made clear." With a few vigorous strokes, he took , up the floor of the room. A tiny skel­ eton, half-bedded in the moist ground, net their eyes, and Mr. Cowley turned aside to hide his tears. "Poor thing!" he said sadly, "Charles, don't tell your aunt, or wife, ©r cousins, but get them away--take them to the town this very afternoon. Mr. Vernon and I will follow as soon as this poor little creature has been properly buried. There, go, my dear boy, and, above all, not a word to the girls of what we have founyd today." • . • * • • m So Mrs. Cowley had her way, after and spent a happy Christmas Day at Mecklenburgh Square, surrounded by all the members of her family, and waited upon at table by no less a per­ son than Mrs. Macarthy, to whom she clung as a kind of fellow sufferer from tbe whims of the head of the house. Christmas and New Tear's Day hav­ ing passed gaily away, there only re­ mained the wedding of Rose, and for that I need not hint that the greatest preparations were made. The happy day came slowly on. The tidings of the romantic betrothal had awakened much curiosity among those to. whom the pair were known, and the ehurch was crowded when the carriage drove to the door. Rose faltered slightly as she stood on the threshold of the church and gazed upon the concourse of people; but a glance from the dear companion at her side reassured her, and calm and happy she moved onward and took her place before the altar. Not to the haunted house, however, but to a pleasant villa upon the sea- coast, Mr. Vernon took his falr'young bride. And as they sat hand in hand in their new home--the doubts and follies of the past all forgotten and forgiven-- the moon rose slowly above the water, and a bright path stretching out over but for the footsteps, seemed lying there before them. He put the fancy Into words, and whispered R to Rose. She lodked tip in his face with a frank, truth-telling gaze. Those were the very sett, clear eyes, clear and quiet as a mountain lake, yet with a slight shadow in their depth, that seemed to tell of stormier elements be­ low, of which he had dreamed for years, and which he had only seen twice in his life--once in a picture of the Virgin by Murillo--once here! Here was the only heart his own had sought--the only being for whom he had ever really suffered the pangs and pleasures of that mad fever which we call by the name of love. No other could claim her from him, no other could watch that bright young face in all its bewitching changes. No other could rest that pretty head upon his bosom, and play with those silky curls. No other kiss the broad, high fore- ; head, the beautiful eyes, or the full, warm, loving Hps! But still he mur­ mured in her ear, as he held her closely to his heart that first evening in their common home, "Are you hap­ py, Rose? Are you sure yon are hap­ py?" There was no need to ask that ques­ tion. A perfect stranger coming into that pretty cottage by the deep blue sea might well have answered it for him. It was a pleasant spot; none the less so, that everywhere were traces of the presence of its pretty mistress. A spaklng portrait hung over the piano, a smile lingering archly on its parted lips; her favorite books were on the table; her little dog played about the grounds; her horse neighed in the sta­ ble, and a fairy-like boat, bearing her name upon the stern, rocked at anchor upon the pebbly beach below." Running down the graveled walk, with the little dog barking and leap­ ing at her side, feeding her Horse with snowy bread; presiding with all the grace of a woman, yet with the sweet, shy bashfulness of a child, at her ta­ ble, or singing and playing, after the evening meal, sweet, low ballads and dear old songs such as she loved best, filling every spot with beauty and grace, and forming the delight of her husband's eyes, as well as the pride of his heart--is she not happy? I assure you, dear reader, their home is one of the sweetest spots on earth. And full of content with the bliss of the peaceful present, and the promise of a cloudless future, they have quite forgotten the tragic and painful past, and have no wish to go back to their early years, or to visit that scene of a heart rejected and a slighted love avenged. For Hollow Ash Hall is a ruin! Given up to the bats and the owls, and carefully avoided by everything hu­ man, it has fallen gradually into total decay; but the ground has been sold and an enterprising cockney talks of building a soap factory there--so It is within the bounds of possibility that the ghost may yet be exorcised by al­ kalies and noxious gases. Mr. and Mrs. Cowley still reside in Mechlenburgh Square, with their nephew and niece; and Mrs. Macarthy now reigns supreme over the whole household. But Catharine is no longer with them; she is the wife of a dash­ ing Guardsman, and goes to Court, and is so fine, generally, that so humble a pen as mine shrinks nervously from attempting to record her daily life. George Vernon died penniless and forsaken In Australia soon after the mystery of Hollow Ash Hall was made clear. THE END. the waves of life's sea, and waiting Susies# Character B y P h i l i p V o r r l l l M l g h e l s CHAPTER I. Down through the grey of the sage­ brush, on a hill that was jeweled with patches of the melting snow of winter all but gone, shambling alone as lazily as the blear-eyed dog at his heels, a Washoe Indian of Western Nevada ar­ rived at the edge of a hurrying brook. Removing a hat, all battered and fuz- iy, that once had been of silk and proudly high, he gruntingly descended :%o lie on his stomach at the selvedge green of the water's brink and thrust In his lips for a short, eager drink. The dog lapped above him. Both re­ sumed the march again, for the Indian school was near at hand and the way all a carpet of stubble. To the kitchen door the Washoe douched, and awed the young'mahalas, .Who, with red in their faces from the glowing range, were up to their elbows in the arts of civilized cooking. "Injun Jim, he's wants my Injun girl!" he announced. "Lordee!" cried the teacher. Jump­ ing nervously, "you frightful object! You startled me dreadful. Now, what in the name of goodness do you want?" The Indian maidens stood in atti­ tudes of stoic amazement--one except­ ed. She, the brightest and the tallest, merely gazed at the visitor in dumb appeal, her hands going slowly, re­ luctantly back to the strings of the apron that hung about her waiBt. "Injun Jim, he's wants my Injun girl!" the Washoe repeated. •Want what?" screamed the teach- «r. "Want Susie? Nonsense, you dirty old thing! You're supposed to be dead; we have all believed you dead and buried for two long years. You go back to the sage brush. Here, I give you pleaty biecuit-lahpoo. Your Susie go to school--she very smart girl." "No biscuit-lah-poo. Heap ketchum* girl, you sabbee? What's Injun goin' do at white man's school? He's don'*t learn nuthln' goot for us.

The man made ready for departing to the mine that was on the hilL "Come every day," he presently added, after glancing keenly at Susie, as he piled some food on a stool near by and brought up the money from a pocket "I pay every week tor wash *um floor and dishes." The girl, when he went, proceeded deftly to gleaning the table and plac­ ing utensils and dishes In order--the order they taught at the school. It gave her a pleasure, but of this and of other emotions there was never a sign. Day after day she returned, not alone. Her mother went begging at other of the cabins. With hands ca­ ressed--and rounded hands of dim­ pled bronze they were--she touched these kitchen possessions fondly and with grateful dreams of the school across the valley. "See here," said the man one morn­ ing, as he watched her at the labor, "you needn't scrub the floor, I guess. I hate to see a woman doing that" "I thank you," she quietly replied, "but I like to do it I like to see It clean." He looked at her astonished. "Where in the world did you learn your Eng­ lish?" he rudely inquired. She blushed beneath the softened bronze of her rounded cheeks, and the lashes drew her eyelids timidly down to curtain the wide-open orbs of dark and lustrous onyx. "At the Institute," she faintly an­ swered. "Oh! Well, the dishes I like to have you fix, of course, but not the floor, please." She reddened again, and shot him a glance that resembled the questioning gaze of a doe, not trained to fear, yet always shy. "If you--care for--books--or any­ thing here--you're welcome," he stam­ mered, and walked away. He beat himself a blow on the breast, yet he knew not why, and shook himself in the breeze that blew. The mine on the hill was a hundred rods from the trail to Greasewood Canon, but the forking path was well defined where his boots had scarred the near-lying rocks, and ground the s&acl Bersistently. , . {To be continued.) The woman was speechless. She started abruptly to run to the agent, but suddenly halted, remembering sharply that against the wishes of an Indian parent the government was powerless to hold a pupil. A silence fell on the Indian maidens and the baffled teacher. A few quick words in the Washoe tongue delivered by the father to his child and Susie laid her apron on the table. Then si­ lently she walked to her teacher, kissed her lightly on the hair and turned to follow where the man already shambled slowly toward the brush. Her head bowed submissively forward, her hands hanging listless at her side, she trod in his trail, and the dog shuffled patiently behind. The sun was casting long, slender filaments of shadows. Into its ruddy glory passed the silent procession, out through the paths of the grey, lonely sage brush, over the flat and the ridges to the foothills far across the valley. Late in the darkness shone at length the dim red eye of the dark and smoky wigwam; and there at last, on the chilling earth, sat Susie in the night, and watching the greying of the glow to the death, her chin on her breast her fingers idly toying with a rounded bit of pebble. There in the morning Wanda, the mother, whined with her wrinkled mouth and bade the sllient Susie stand and go to Chloride Hill, to beg at the rear of the cabins. Together they went while her father wrapped his blanket about him and strode away, with his dog, in search of others in the mining camp, whose worldly posses­ sions he hoped to win at the subtle­ ties of "Pass the stick." Winding through the stunted brush the women came to the outlying houses. A door at the back of one of these was standing awlde. A man within was clattering dishes, cups of tin and iron knives and forks, to a clumsy pyramid on the table. saw he, when h« found the tsU a good story during a tripi made to London," ' D. Aldrieh to a Post re­ porter the other day. "He said that at a dinner paity he had attended the guests began discussing the dally discoveries made to the detriment .of people occupying high stations in lite and enjoying the confidence of the business world. Dr. Doyle said that it had always been Ik opinion that there was a skeleton In the closet of every man who had reached the age of 40. This led to a lot of discussion, some of the guests reseating the idea that there was no one who had not in the past something that were better concealed. As a result of the contro- very, Dr. Doyle said, it was suggested that his views as to family skeletons he put to the test The diners selected a man of their acquaintance whom all knew only as an upright Christian gentleman, whose wbrd was accepted as quickly as his bond and stood with the highest In every respect "We wrote a telegram, saying: "All is discovered; flee at once," to this pillar of society,' said Dr. Doyle, 'and sent it He disappeared the next day and has never been heard from sinoe."-- W&phipgton Post BURPERFLOUS AQTlViWf A Most Common Phiwas im "I Aa So Busy." The fact that the world--the world of women, at least--is too busy is now put forward so often that its utterance amounts to a truism, says Harper's Bazar. The most common phrase in our language seems to be that which proclaims the want of leisure. "I am so busy;" "If I can ever get time;" "Life is such a pressure these days;" "The complex duties of the moment;" "The busy modern public"--these are, all of them, most familiar sentences to us and are on our lips time and again in explanation of business, so­ cial and even moral shortcomings. It is not putting it too strongly to say that in the present rush of living we are losing some of our best charac­ teristics and painfully dwarfing our lives. We are too busy to be neigh­ borly, hospitable, to be sympathetic-- a good many, Indeed, of the finer traits of humanity are finding less expres­ sion among us. The question of bet­ ter control of the leisure which the old century gave to women and which the new will increase, is a large one and admits of elaborate presentation. It is only intended in this brief para­ graph to emphasize a single point which is the value of a quick weighing of every effort in which one is about to engage, or is now absorbed, to be sure of its necessity to yourself, or yourself to It If this one principle be judiciously applied it is confidently predicted that amazement will follow. It will be a revelation to discover how much that in one's haste has been considered essential, Is really super­ fluous. An overestimating sometimes of our own Importance, this too with­ out vanity, leads us to do many incon­ sequent things. Has not every woman who will read this whipped herself sometimes into going to a place be­ cause she considered it social, philan­ thropic, or even business duty, to find that the effort was not needed, and no adverse result of any sort would have followed her absence? ; THE RAILROAD ktN Tbetr Kubw Mentioned la • Oowrm ment Ownership Dialogue. A railtfbad president and a United States senator were talking about gov­ ernment ownership of railroads. "It would be a good idea for this govern­ ment to buy and operate all the rail­ roads in the United States." "Well," remarked the railroad president, smil­ ing significantly, "if the government has the money to pay for two hundred thousand miles of railroad, with an aggregate capitalization of nearly $5.- 000,000,000, I can point out the shop where most of the goods can be bought" "The shop?* echoed the sen­ ator, inquiringly. "That is what it amounts to, Senator. There are seven or eight men that control all the rail­ roads in the United States, and most of them can be found in New York city on any business day." "Who are they?" the senator asked eagerly. "Propounded in Wall street or in any assemblage of well-informed railroad men, this question will invariably elic­ it mention of these names: J.

The trade of artificial fly making is the lightest- fingered business in the world, and it is not one man or woman out of five thousand who can learn to tie flies. These tyers are remarkable for the beauty and delicacy of their hands, and only the cleverest of fingers can deal with the "niggling" work of knot­ ting hairs that can hardly be seen. In making a fly the earth has to be ran­ sacked for precisely the correct feath­ ers and hairs, and one hair wrong will make all the difference. It takes an expert tyer only 15 minutes to turn out a fly, which consists of a tiny hook, with wings of Egyptian dove feather, legs of fox hair, and a body of mouse fur, wound round with a thread of yellow silk. A carelessly made fly will have neither legs nor "feelers," but the true expert adds the legs, and puts on a pair of long "feel­ ers" of cat hair, white at the tips. All these tiny details will be exactly in their places, and so finely tied to the hook that the fly will take half a dozen strong fish and be none the worse. Bears' eyebrows, being stiff, and exact­ ly the right shade, are used in a new­ ly invented fly that is killing quanti­ ties of salmon ths year; and these eyebrows come from the Himalayan brown boar, and cost^about $1.50 per set.

A short time ago a New York tribunal held that a phy­ sician was liable for unskillful or neg­ ligent treatment of a patient and now the court of appeals of that state has rendered a decision holding a car- poratlon liable for unskillful dental work. ThlB corporation, according to the complaint represented that it car­ ried on the practice of dentistry in con­ nection with its other departments. The plaintiff, a woman, having under­ gone treatment, sued for alleged re­ sultant injury and received a verdict Apparently the defence of the corpora­ tion was that the dental business was not, in fact carried on by It, but was owned by tbe dentist But the court held that the company having held it-i self out as carrying on a dental de­ partment and the plaintiff having beenj ignorant of the fact that the company1 was not the real owner of the dental, department, the corporation wast estopped from making such a denial. FOr, under the circumstances, the court said that the plaintiff had a right to rely not only on the presumption that the company would employ a skillful dentist as its servant, but also on the fact that if that servant, the dentist, whether skillful or not, was guilty of any malpractice, she had a respon­ sible party to answer therefor In dam­ ages.--Chicago Chronicle. Hm Cowboy Vm Oenerone. Millionaire McKittrick, who, as alt California knows, is the king of the oil district, and is reputed to own half of southern California, was leaving his ranch to drive into town the other day, when he was accosted by one of his cowpunchens, who bad been on th* Job about a fortnight. "Say, boss," said the cowboy, "can I draw $10?" Mr. McKittrick was about to refer the man to the foreman, but, being good- natured, he handed over the gold ea­ gle. "Oh, I don't want the money," aaid the cowboy; "I want you to get me some truck In town.. I want a dollar-'an-a-half pair o' yaller shoes, three pairs o' two-bit socks, a sack o' Durham, some cigarette papers, a pair o' overalls, two suits o' underclothes, two Stanley shirtl, the four-bit kind, an* a two-bit silk handkerchief." Charmed by the gall of his employe, the millionaire took the commission. He returned late at night loaded down like Santa Glaus, sought out the cow- puncher, delivered the goods, saying: "It cost only eight-fifty. Heres the dollar and a half left over." "Oh, that's all right," said the gener­ ous cowboy, "keep the change!"--San Francisco News Letter. / felt Her Case Was Hope* less--Cured by Fe-ru-na. Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 1217 West 33rd-St, Minneapolis, Minn., as" follows: "I suffered for years with a pain in the small of my back and right side. It interfered often with my domestic and social duties and i never supposed that I would be cured, as the doctor's medicine did not seem to help me any. "Fortunately a member of our Order advised me to try Peruna and gave it such high praise that I decided to try it Although I started in with little faith, I felt so much better in a week that I felt encouraged. "I took it faithfully for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that I am entirely cured. Words fail to express my gratitude. Perfect health once more Is the best thing I could wish for, and thanks to Peruna enjoy that now."--Minnie E. McAllister. The great popularity of Peruna as a catarrh remedy has tempted many people to Imitate Peruna. A great many so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics are to be found, in many drug stores. These remedies can be procured by the druggist much cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only be obtained at a uniform price, and no druggist can get it a cent cheaper.
