I used to think that writ- ing letters and leaving them behind, something by which a man might some day be identified. was the most tool thing of all; but I am satisfied now that carrying something around is still worse. I realised this when something I was carrying got me into trouble. " I always carried a leadpencil in my pocket, and I lost this pencil, some- how, one day, and the same night pick- ed up another from a desk in aman’s library and just tucked it in my took this one, and thought no more about it. I carried that pencil I guess three or four months, sharpening it occasionally, and so gradually wear- ing it down. The last time I ever used it was in a railroad station where! I’d just seen a big express wagon? drive up with a couple of boxes that caught my eye as maybe containing things. that I’d like to have; both go- ing to the same town, but. not very far out, and I thought maybe I’d run out there some night and look through these houses. I don’t believe in luck, but I sat 0’ had a notion that I‘d find something very good in those two houses. and I liked the idea of getting the clue to them in that way. So Igoes into the waiting room of the station again and just puts down those addresses before I forgets ’cm; ’writing ’ezm down at one end of a deal: that was there by the window .of the telegraph office. " I‘d put the piece of paper that I’d made the memorandum on in my pocket, and was just putting away the pencil. when a man that had step- ped up to write a telegraph. and found no pencil on the desk there, turns to meâ€"he’d seen me writingâ€" and says: ‘ Will you kindly lend me your pencil for a minute? And of course I HANDED IT OVER. TO HIM without the slightest hesitation, and then I stands there and looks the other way so as not to seem to be looking while he was doing his writ- ing. And I thought he was writing a pretty long telegraph, and I was just about to turn around and look, when I feels a hand on my shoulder, which I couldn’t very well mistake, and looking around I found. as lex- pected that it was a policeman that was clawin’ me, and my friend there, that I‘d lent the pencil to, was stand- ing alongside of him, pointing at me, and saying: " Quite a change in the situation? Well, Ishould say so. And all through that pencil. That pencil was just a plain, common, simple pencil, of good quality, with nothing remarkable about it al att except that across the flat end of the head of the pencil,the end not used, there were eight little straight lines, [our in each direction, crossing at right angles, and mak- ing a sort of a plaided effect, pretty' well faded now, but still perfectly vis- ible. And this pencil belonged to the man that had borrowed it of me,there in the station. Makes you laugh to think of my luggin’ around something that was marked 2. It does me now, Well, it was easy enough to prove that ,the house had been robbed, and that the pencil I had came from it. And it interested me a little bit, too, to see how easy they were able to prove the marking on the pencil. This man‘s little daughter mule it, and she swore to it without any sort of doubt or quibble. She'd sat down one day at her father’s desk and marked those lines on the end of a pencil with a pen just for fun. “‘I charge (ms man with burg- lary.’ “Of course there was no sort of actual proof that I ~ztole it, but there was. proof that I had it in my posses- sion. I said I found it; and when I do try lying I make the bunglin’est work of it you ever heard of. That’s the kind of 3 jun I made of it this time; and of course they knew. you know. But they gave me only a year. Still that was enough to learn me that les- son anyhow. I never, after that car- ried about with me anything that I’d gathered in, any longer than it was necessary to dispose of it.

On the evening which followed the one just described in our last chap- ter, Plume Hurlhurst eat in her lux- uriant boudoir of rose and gold, deep- ly absorbed in the three letters which she held in her lap. To one was appended the name of Septima Brooke, one was from Rex's mother, and the lastâ€"and by far the most im- portant oneâ€"bore the signature of Lester Stanwick. Once, twice, thrice.‘she perused it. each time with growing interest, the glittering light deepening in her dark, flashing eyes, and the red lips curling in a scornful smile. “This is capital!" she cried, exult- ingly; “even better than I had plan- ned. I could not see my way clear before, but now everything is clear sailing." She crossed over to the mirror. looking long and earnestly at the superb figure reflected there. “I am fair to look upon." she cried, bit- terly. “Why can not Rex love me?" Ah! she was fair to look upon, standing beneath the softened glow of the overhanging chandelier, in her dress of gold brocade, with a pome- granate blossom on 'her bosom, and a diamond spray flashing from the dark, glossy curls, magnificently beautiful. “I was so sure of Rex.” she said. bitterly; “if any one had said to me, “Rex prefers your overseer’s niece, Daisy Brooks. with her baby face and pink-und-white beauty.’ Iwould have laughed them to scorni Prefers her to me, the haughty heiress of White- stone Hall. for whose love, or even smile, men have sued in vain! I have managed the whole affair very clev- erly!” she mused. “John Brooks does not return before the coming spring, and Septima is removed from my path most effectually. and if Lester Stanwick manages his part successfully, I shall have little to fear from Daisy Brooks! How clev- er Lester was to learn Rex had _been to the Detective Agency! How he must have loved that girl l” she cried, hotly. with a darkening brow, “Ah, Rex 1” she whispered, softly. and for an instant the hard look died out of her face, “no one shall take you from me. I would rather look npon your face cold in death, and know no one else could claim you. than see you smile lovingly upon a rival. There is no torture under heaven no bitter to endure as the pangs of a love unreturncd!" she cried, fiercely. She threw open the window and leaned far out into the radiant starlight, an the great clock pealed the hour of seven. “Rex has received my note," she said, “with the one from his mother incloscd. Surely he will not refuse my request. He will come, if only through poiite- ness!” Again she laughed, that low. mocking laugh peculiar to her, as she heard the peal of the bell. “It is Rex,” she whispered. clasping her hands over her beating heart. “'I‘o« night I will flow the first seeds of distrust in your heart, and when they take root you shall despise Daisy Brooks 8. thousand-fold more than you love her now. She shall feel the keen thrust of a rival's bit- ter vengeance!" Casting a last lingering glance,ao woman-like! at the perfect face the mirror reflected, to give her con- fidence in herself for the coming or- deal, Pluma Hurlhurst glided down to the parlor, whereoRex awaited her. It would have been hard to be- lieve the proud. willful. polished It Is A Wonder To Everybody It seem wonderful that after all these years of investigation and re- search the physicians are still help- less to relieve and cure one of the most common and most distressing afflictions to which men and women are subject. vim, itching, bleeding piles.

He: was standing at the open window. his handsome head leaning wearily against the casement. His face was turned partially toward her, and Flame could scarcely repress the cry of astonishment that rose to her lips as she saw how pale and haggard he looked in the softened light. She knew but too well the causes He was quite unaware of Pluma's presence until a soft, white, jeweled hand was laid lightly on his arm. and a low. musical voice whispered, “I am so glad you have come, Rex,” close to his elbow. "You are very kind," she said. sweetly, "to forget that unpleasant littlee episode that happened at the fete, and come to-night. I believe I should never have sent for you,” she added, archly, smiling up into his face, "had it not been at the urgent re- quest of your mother, Rex." Plume hesitated. Rex hit his lip in annoyance, but he was too courteous to openly express his thoughts; he merely bowed again. He meant Pluma should understand all thoughts of love or tenderness must forever more be a dead letter be- tween them. They had parted under peculiar circumstances. He could fancy her at that moment kneeling to him, unâ€" der the glare of the lamp-light, con- fessing her love for him. and denounc- ing poor little clinging Daisy with such bitter ccorn. His present posi- tion was certainly an embarrassing one to Rex. your request, Miss Hurlhurst," he said. simply, bowing coldly over the white hand that would cling to his arm. “My mother!" be repeated, wonder- ingly; “pardon me, I do not under- stand." For answer she drew his mother's letter from her bosom and placed it in his hands. .He ran his eyes quickly over the page. The postscript seemed to en- lighten him. “The course of true love never runs smooth," it ran, “and I beseech you, Pluma dear, if anything should ever happen, any shadow fall upon your love, I beseech you send for Rex and place this letter in his hands. It would not be unwomanly, Plume, because I, his mother, so earnestly request it; for, on your love for each other hangs my, bop-es of happiness. Rex is im- pulsive and willful, but he will re- spect his mother’s wishes.” No thought of treachery ever cross- ed Rex’s mind as he read the lines be- fore him; he never once dreamed the ingeniously worded postscript had been so cleverly imitated and added by Piuma’s own hand. It never occur- red to him for an instant to doubt the sincerity of the words he read, when he knew how dearly his mother loved the proud. haughty heiress before him. "In one sense, I am glad you sent for me," said Rex, quietly ignoring her last remark. “I shall be much pleas- ed to renew our friendship, Miss Plume, for I need your friendshipâ€" nay, more, I need your sympathy and advice more than I can express. I have always endeavored to be frank with you, Plume,” he said. kindly. “I have never spoken words which might lead you to believe I loved you." “I heard you were going away, Rex,” she laid, softly, "and [â€"1 could not. let you go so, and break my own heart.” messes formed. so that it was with great difficulty and considerable pain that I was able to stool.

A nameless dread was clutching at his heart-strings. What could she mean? he asked himself. contusedly. \Vhat did this foul mystery moan? He must know. or 'he would go mad! “You may speak out unreservedly, Miss Pluma,” he said, hoarscly. “I give you m word, as a gentleman.

He stood before her, his arms fold- ed across his breast, yet no pang of remorse crept into Pluma Hurlhurst’s relentless heart for the cruel blow she was about to deal him. biog so piteously I could not refuse her an audience.
