The tr»ost plausible plan that presented itself was to accuse our hero of being a spy. To have done so right at this moment would ^ have been to bring ridicule upon him- | self. Apparently that would be too | much like petty revenge, and whether true or not, It would not be believed. As a means of accomplishing his de­ signs, however, and give a semblance of truth to the rumor, he detailed an aide to spy upon the group. This spy, who had earned the sobri­ quet ef "Satan," by being employed in just such cases as this before, had no trouble in getting within earshot oi Pearl and her father; but Wilson and Ijing, being guarded in their conver­ sation, he was unable to overhear. If he had heard them planning the de­ struction of Paradise, nothing could •nd his daughter to remain a while in conversation. While these two were eon soling, Lang and Wilson explored the house. "Wilson," said Lang, after satisfy­ ing himself that there was no one «rithin hearing. "You understand why I married Pearl Huntington. I mar­ ried her because I wisbed to keep you can avenge her honor." "You speak manly enough," replied the doctor, "but I cannot quite under­ stand why you do this. If you were actuated by emotions akin to love or revenge, for instance, I could see. through it." i "You forget, 'pity,* Dr. Huntington, her from the hatds of-Schiller, and to I feel for you and your daughter. You protect her from. insuK. Have I acted ' -tke man?" ' . "You certainly have, Lang," said W»son. "If I have done right, I want your help to continue to do so. In order to enlist your sympathies with me I am going to make a confidant of you. I «BX going to place my life in your keeping." "You can trust me," simply replied Wilson, and he meant It la as few words as possible Lang enlightened Wilson on the fact that there was a tunnel under the house, besides telling him, by way of settling any fears he might have on the sub­ ject, that the house was not haunted, bat that its reputation had been given it by Golden as a means ot hiding the entrance. "What." cried Wilson, "a tunnel? I have been here for years, and have •bunded every part of the ground, and have never discovered it!" "Such is the truth, however. ' I «tu(d escape from the city, walk from 'tike to sub-station No. 1, obtain a mlay of horses and be well on my way ta civilization before missed." "As to that, Lang, I ean well believe, i oould believe anything of you." ^"You are acquainted with my his­ tory," replied Louis. "The only thing 9PM don't know Is that my robbery of JSm Denver was a 'put up Job.'" "Oh, ho!" exclaimed Wilson. "Then are "Never mind the term," interrupted Abuts. "I have my suspicions about fgra also. I presume 1 can rely upon "Your suspicious are correct Yon : .m* depend upon aw^ .'M» here lor do hot know me, but I heard of your case before I saw you. I have been a hard man--I have done knany things to be ashamed of in my time; but I have resolved to atone for my sins, and I do not mean to see you and yours creatures In the hards of such a man as Schiller. I could explain my motive satisfactorily to you, if I chose, but at this time I do not think It best" "I thank you," replied the doctor, "and will try to look upon the matter as the act of a true gentleman. '"How can I ever'sufficiently thank you tor your kind interest?** said Pearl, who perhaps understood Lang's motive better than her fatber. "Simply by never mentioning the fact again, Miss Huntington, and by following out any plans I may give you which I shall think for your bene­ fit," was the gallant reply of Louis. Then to change the conversation, Louis said: "Schiller sai<^ something about your being compelled to live here In seclusion until you complied with some law that he had framed for your especial benefit What decree did he enter against you?" "Until I would consent to practice in Paradise." "This bouse is supposed to be haunted," said Louis. He could see Pearl shudder. "And Schiller Is of the opinion tbat he is inflicting untold torture on us by compelling us to re­ main here. Your case has been put In my hands, and I am made respon­ sible for your safe keeping. Such be­ ing the case, I am of the opinion that you bad better promise." "Well, if you put it in a personal lights I'Hdo it My poor wife, I am k Satan, of course, overheard the con­ versation between Lacg and Dr. Hunt­ ington. This conversation was re­ ported verbatim to Schiller, whi:h en­ couraged him greatly. At this stage of the game he would have been satis­ fied to marry Pearl--truly, honorably. One week's sojourn In her company bad shown him that ! he loved, or thought he did, this innocent girl. Be­ sides reverge, there.were other things that actuated Schiller. He had learned that Dr. Huntington, by a strange course of circumstances, was now the eldest son, and consequently the heir to the English estates of his father. If Schiller could have compromised with Huntington, and had been al­ lowed to marry Pearl--he would have done so. accepting the father's fortune for his bond. But this last was Im­ possible, and he knew it. The thing possible, then, was to dis­ pose of Lang, now the husband ; mar­ ry Pearl, and If necessary^dlspose of the doctor, and inherit the property through the girl, who was, as far as he knew, the only living descendant. One way to trap Lang would be to catch him sending a letter to Mrs. Huntington, notifying her of the safety of ber husband. As Satan had Dotifled Schiller of the Intention of Lang to do so, this seemed an easy matter to accomplish. If Lang.could, be caught In the act, his doom would be certain. (To be continued.) THE LETTER OF THE BONO. Not Horse Trader's Fault if Other Misunderstood Him. In the ordinary way bluff old John Hopkins is as honest as the sunlight, but it is difficult for a man to rigid­ ly adhere to a righteous upbringing and deal in horses at one and the same time. At a horse fair recently a flpe old crusted farmer approached him, "Will that owd nag pull, sir?" he queried. "My friend," said John quietly and sincerely, "I assure you that it would do you good to see that horse pull." John was as well trusted as known, and the horse changed hands'at his price. As ill-luck would have it, he met the purchaser a week later, and the latter pounced upon him. "What d'ye mean," he roared, in a- voice of thunder--"what d'ye mean by telling me that horse would pull? Why, that spavined brute won't pull an empty dray!" "My friend," said old John, "if you will reflect a moment you will remem­ ber that I said it would do you good to see that horse draw.

He was struck by the t of so much misery, and pity lent demess to his tone. "But do not misunderstand my motive," he added, reassure the hapless prisoner. $frald that she will go crazy about Pearl and myself." "I will undertake to notify her that you are safe," said Louis. "You, how?" "I am not helpless," said Louis, "I can do much that woiild seem quite impossible at this time." A sigh of relief escaped the closed lips of the doctor. 'T will trust you!' he said. "And I. too. will trust you. and prsv for you, my husband!" said Pearl. "You Beem an honest man, though your history as read off by Golden, In the eyes of honest and simple-minded people is anything but a good one." "You do me too much honor, under the circumstances," said Louis, bow­ ing. He felt like making a clean breast of It and telling thise two peo­ ple the truth, but he refrained. It was well that he did so, for every word tbat was being spoken now was being overheard. "Time will tell whether I deserve your respest or not. The time is short for me to rest I will bid you good night" "Good night, and pleasaet dreams!" said Pearl. • • • Dr. Schiller, though appearing to submit gracefully to the will of the people, was far from irtending to let the matter drop and foregolag his re­ venge. Dr. Huntinsrton, In the opinio" of Schiller, had inflicted a wrong upor him that could not be wiped out In an easy manner. Now tbat Schiller ha«* Huntirgton in his power, it is reason­ able to suppose that he would not br content with simply Inflicting bodil' harm upon his victim. Huntlngtor must pay the penalty In the same manner that he himself had paid It-- the brain must suiter as wen as the body. Lang had made many friend r through Golden's recital of his history Louis had roused admiration for him self by defending Wilson, who waa f general favorite, and In marryinr -Pearl In the face of the king's threat he had shown himself almost aevolf* of fear. Scblller could not understand Lang--a conundrum--ard the kin* meant to bring some charge agains him, in wblch. In Inflicting extremr punishment upon him, he would seer justified.

Real Animus of Movement Against Reme-Hes Deservedly Popular. Am adroit but plausible scheme by wblch it is hoped to prejudice the sale of proprietary medicines is the propo­ sition to prohibit the sale of any rem­ edy which "contains <polson" unless each package or bottle is. expressly la­ beled "Poison/' Such bills are also well designed to impose upon men who have no familiarity with the subject matter. The pretense of protecting the public health put forth in support of such bills is generally the merest subterfuge; and whenever you hear a demand for a law of this kind It originates with those who have a direct pecuniary Interest to serve by destroying the sale of proprietary rem­ edies. Some of the beet and most widely used remedies in the world contain some one ingredient which, if taken in sufficient quantities, might be poi­ sonous, and yet the preparation as a. whole Is not poisonous at all. Opium, for inst&nce, is used In small quanti­ ties in many of the best cures for coughs, colic, diarrhea, etc., In tooth­ ache drops and in almost all liniments. To require such medicines to be false­ ly labeled "poison" would be merely a cunning device to alarm the public and thus bring about the destruction of the sale of those remedies, and In­ directly to compel people to- procure the medicine they want by the more expensive method of consulting a phy­ sician and getting his prescription. In other words, it Is an effort to prevent them from getting cheaply the reme­ dies which they and their fathers be­ fore them have used for many years.-- Medical exchange. •fey ?A Teacher's Testimony. Jfftitoo, Ky., Oct 30th.--(Special.) --It has laas been clalfited that*Dlar betes Is Incurable, but Mr. EL J* Thompson, teacher In the Hintoa school, has pleasing evidence to the contrary. Mr. Thompson had Diabe­ tes. He took Dodd's Kidney Pills and Is cured. In a statement he makes regarding the cure Mr. Thompson says: "I was troubled with my kidneys for more than two years and was treated by two of the best doctors in this part of the state. They claimed I had Diabetes and there was little to be done for me. Then I started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what they did for me was wonderful. It la en­ tirely owing to Dodd's Kidney Pills that I am now enjoying good health.". Many doctors still maintain that Di­ abetes is Incurable. But Diabetes Is a kidney disease and the kidney disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure has yet to be discovered. Argument Unanswerably " A little 5-year-old boy was telling his 3-year-old brother that "John the Bap­ tist was an animal, a four-legged ani­ mal." "Why, Willie," said his mother, "don't tell your little brother such stuff as that." "Well, he was an ani­ mal with four legs, our Sunday school superintendent said he was," insisted Willie. "Do you remember just what he said?" asked his mother. "Yes, he said that John the Baptist was a four- runner."--Llpplncott's Magazine.

Alpaca is much m vogue for the cooler type of imfelirig gown, and one or two charming frocks for country wear have been fashioned of this light and durable material. A dove-colored skirt, Incocent of trimming, is set in graduated tucks, which are quite free at the edge and give a delightful full­ ness to the skirt. There is no nnlng, but a daintily frilled petticoat of emer­ ald green alpaca gives effect to the plain skirt, which just touches the ground, and is slightly raised ior walking. The simple, loose bolero is lined with emerald satin, and some white mercerized braid outlines the outer edge and breaks into pretty little scrolls at frequett intervals. A wee touch of emerald velvet appears on the lapel and neat tailor collar and Is repeated on the cuffs. A soft white vest, very full, and with lacs falling below the waist, makes this quite a smart little gown for after­ noons In the country, or buttoned up with a plain linen front, It Is useful tor traveling. ; # ^ Hats for Coming 8easoif. . In hats, or models for them, while the coming fall shapes are as outre as ever, more skill is shown in adapt­ ing the trimmings to overcome this and to give a becoming effect a con­ summation devoutly to be wished, In view of the many and often astound­ ing effects produced this summer. Beavers In email quantities, plain vel­ vet hats and felts are being shown, as are also chenille foundations. In 'feathefs, the- ostrich plume,- of, course, leads, but when hasn't It? it Is graceful, beautiful, and has style when properly nsed. It comes in dif­ ferent grades and lengths and is there* fore adapted to appeal to all but the poorest purses, as well as to all tastes. Hats entirely of feathen are a nov­ elty of the fall, soft breast feathers being used to cover the brim and crown. A bright golden brown Is the Parisian fancy for autumn wear. Short-haired beavers will also find favor for ordinary wear. Belts of the Moment. Of the belts that fasten the lingerie waist a volume might be written. In general they have grown narrow. Yet exceptions are almost as common as the rule. Pinafore belts and belts with bretelles, refinements of last spring's suspender belts, are aiftong the successes of the autumn. Rib­ bon, satin and velvet, leather and fine gold and silver braids are employed In the manufacture of these dainty finishings. Take it by and large, the winter shirt waist is perhaps the most Interesting of the season's fashions. narrow widths used, but quantities of it. The flounce is very full, and the lace Insertion strips It all the way round, with every third and fourth row separated, not like the rest, with narrow strips of material, but with long triangles of It, each embroid­ ered with three polka dots. A big one is in the widest part, a smaller one above, and above that one still smaller. Above the flounce polka dots are introduced the same way-- in sizes, the largest just above the joining of the flounces. Frock for a Little QlrL . Frock of royal blue tolle for ttttle girl from 8 to 11 years old. The full blouse Is gathered at the top and fin­ ished with a little ruffle of the mater­ ial. The yoke forms straps in front, and like the box plait, is Punished with I f : k -I .N« f\ •* i ' J?*' an edge of taffeta of the same shade. Rolls of taffeta form the straps, which are fastened with buttons of tbe ma­ terial. The guimpe, or plastron, Is of white embroidered linen and the curdle Is of red, or tan, leather. The full sleeves are shirred at the elbows and finished with ruffles of the material. The skirt Is shirred at the top and finished with a ruffle set on with a little heading. Of Black Moire Velour. Princess gowns have won the day and every well dressed woman will include at least two among her winter wardrobe. One model sketched at an early showing of Imported gowns and worn on the .-proper figure will surely; attract more than ordinary attention. The yoke shoulder pieces and revers are hand embroidered black taffeta and the how In front Is soft black silk ribbon. Tbe attractive cuffs on elbow sleeves Are also made of silk and edged with a narrow plaiting of black chiffon. Veal Terrapin (Old Creole Recipe). One pound of lean veal, quarter pound of veal liver, teaspoonful of onion juice and four cloves. Cover with water and boil until tender. When cold cut liver and meat into small pieces. Thicken the water they were boiled in with a tablespoonful of butter, rolled la the same quantity of browned flour.

Petticoat Embroidery. ^ ts pe- -oata more interesting ways of intro< icing embroidery have been invented. The richest of the pettl- e o s t s « s » ; » « s » « l : That Air of Smsrtness. It Is an astonishing fact that many women otherwise careful in regard to their appearance will fasten stock or guimpe carelessly in the back and go about serenely content in that the front view of their toilet leaves noth­ ing to be desired, says the New York Sun. Plain waists of the sheerest lawn, upon which are adjusted fine chemisettes and sleeves, are made for wear under blouse bodices cut down at the neck and fashioned with the loose, catlike slit up the outside. With a fine lace and muslin chemisette and sleeve arrangement of this sort, even the cheapest of cotton frocks may at­ tain an air of smartness. Tapestry Girdles Are Chic. You may embroider one yourself' or choose a quaint design in the shops. One of the finest tapestry gir­ dles of the year was In old ivory eolor. It was worked in the finest of cross- stltch embroidery. In the middle of the back there was applied a big tapestry pansy. In the front a pansy buckle fastened the gir­ dle. It is very much the thing to take one of >these girdles and pass it through a Louis XV. coat of silk and velvet in such a manner that it holds the coat snug in the back. The fronts fly open, showing the lovely vest un* derneath. ^ •' . Pretty Evening Wrap. Extravagance in woman's dress Is more noticeable in wraps than any other item of her wardrobe. The wraps are delightful In construction and are made of lace, soft satin cloth and velvet. One charming model is pale blue satin cloth elaborately dec­ orated with eyelet embroidery. The bottom is finished in deep round scal­ lops edged with narrow valenciennes lace, a frill of same bordering the fiat collar. Two small revers of black vel­ vet are trimmed with tiny gold but­ tons, and the elbow sleeves are formed of two deep nounces of the embroid­ ered cloth. It Is lined ^throughout with white silk. . For Autumn Wear. Gowns for autumu wear show more simplicity, both in make and trim­ ming, but light colors are still favors , and many of the toilets aranged for ed, and many of the toilets arranged for traveling are of tweed and nome- spun in very light mixtures, and sim­ ply relieved with a collar and cuffs of velvet In a bright, contrasting *r*#ped wit&eilKo* a tint - - - 4^*---- In Jaranese Leather. Japanese leather, like everything else Japanese, is steadily gale lng In favor, and some of the prettiest belts and bagB now seen are made of it. Formerly only leather stamped in dark colors was used for these arti­ cles, but now some of the most effect­ ive belts are of white leather stamped In gold and the most delicate colors Ip a design that is distinctly Japanese, and the bags of this material are very beautiful.
