"Half a moment," he said, hesitatingâ€" ly, and looking down at the thick Turâ€" Kkey carpet with a strange and curious expression on his face.

"Heaven xnows whether I am acting wisely inâ€"in telling you what I know," he said, "and if I do so it in the hope that I may aid you to recover your daughterâ€"not that you may wreak your vengeance upon her betrayer.

"It occurred to me," he went on, after a pause during which Jordan remained silent and watchful, "that you might have heardâ€"«omething; that you might know who it was that led her astray. You see, you‘re a magistrate and the loâ€" cal swell, andâ€"things generally come to the ears of a man in your place. I want to find her." He stammered hoarsely. "I don‘t care what she‘s done; she‘s my girl, my Rachel still, and I want her. But I want the man that ruined her worse! I‘ve swornâ€"look here, Sir Jordan, most good men like yourself, for instance," and he laughed, grimly, "say their prayâ€" ers at night. I‘m not ‘good‘ anyway, and, instead, I‘ve sworn an oath every night before I‘ve laid down that I‘d have my reveuge on the man that robbed me of my girl. Aund if he‘r alive and : can find him, I‘ll keep that oath!" "Go on!" broke in Lavarick, impati ently. s i t o y "You must let me tell you in my own way," said Jordan, rebukingly. "Did you know my half brother, Neville?" he asked, as if with painful reluctance. Lavarick etarted. "No," he said. "He was at college, I suppose, when I was at home here. I never saw him. Whatâ€"whyâ€"â€"" He raised his clenched hand as _ he spoke and swore fearfully. 3 "That‘s all I wanted to ask you," he said. "Just answer it, and I‘m off. Just tell me anything you may have heardâ€" anything might give me a clue. Why, look hereâ€""and he struck the small table so that the letters danced againâ€""I‘d rather lose the money I‘m to get from His harsh voice trembled, and Jordan, glancing up, saw that he was shaking as if with ague. "That‘s all I could hear. It nearly drove me mad. I coulds‘t make inquiries; _ 1 daren‘t stop and try and find her. I had to bolt as you know. But I swore I‘d come back and find out who it was that ruined her andâ€"well, I‘ve come back.

He dashed his hand across his eyes with an oath at the emotion which he eould not conceal, and looked out of the window. you than give up my hope of revenge upâ€" on the vilfain that ruined my little girl." It was at that moment that an inspirâ€" ation visited Jordan. It came as a flash as most inspirations do, and its sudâ€" denness sent the blood to his pale face. "You will get into trouble. my @nod __"Wait," said Jordan, almost gently. "Waic here for a moment." "She was gone. That was bad enough, but there was worse Nehind. My girl had fallen into bad hands.

Well, I got out," he continued, with â€" touch of pride in his tone, "and I risked everything to come down here and see her.

And when I got down here I found"â€"he stopped and turned his head awayâ€""I found that my Rachel had gone." Jordan still gazed at his boots, outâ€" wardly calm and indifferent. but his heart was beating nineteen to the dozen, and his brain was bard at work. _ "Well," resumed Lavarick, _ huskily, "my girl was all the world to me, and â€"and if anything would have kept me straight, she would; but I‘m one of those who can‘t go straight. I suppose there‘s something in the blood _ that drives a man to the devil whether he will or won‘t. I‘m a bad lot, I know; but 1 was fond and proud â€"f my girl, and the worst part of the business when I was sent off was the thought that 1 was leaving her all alone and without any one to look after her." He paused and cleared his throat. "It was the dreadful longing to see her that drove me to breaking out of quod.

Sylvia had gone through the furnace through which Audrey seemed now to be passing. But thon%h Sylvia saw that something was troubling her newly made friend, she did not ask for Audrey‘s confidence, and Audrey did not give it. But notwithstanding this, the two girls had fallen in love with _ each other with that quiet fervency which evidences somehing warmer, deeper, and more lasting than a transient faney. "Return it? No! I‘ll return it to him! I‘ll return it to him when I‘m killâ€" ing him! Oh, my God!" and he seized his head with both hands and held it as if he were going to have a fit, "My poor girlâ€"my poor girl! _ Deadâ€"you say he‘s dead! He‘s not! He‘s alive, and I‘ll find him!t I‘llâ€"â€"â€"" He stopâ€" ped as if he were choking, and tore at his collar and necktie. "Give me some water." Poor Jordan started, and a gleam of regret crossed his face. Lavarick laughed again. "But I‘ll have the money and my reâ€" venge, too. Curse you both; curse everyâ€" body by the name of Lynne! It‘s you and the likes of you that drive us to the devil. My girlâ€"my pretty, innocent girlâ€"â€"" He broke down again, but reâ€" covered himself as if he had a suspicion that Jordan, for all his grave face, was enjoying the, sight of his misery. "I‘m going," he said, breathing hard. "Friday, remember! I‘ll have the money. It will help me to find him. Your brother won‘t trouble you after I‘ve done with him, Sir Jordanâ€"" He went to the door, but his hand shook «o that he could not turn the handle. "Open it!" he said, roughly. Jordan obeyed and accompanied him down stairs and to the hall door. _ The day after their meeting in Sylâ€" via‘s room Audrey drove round to Bury "Whereâ€"where did you get it fromt" demanded Lavarick, wiPing his eyes as if the sight of the familiar handwriting had blinded them. "I found it in my brother‘s room when I was cleaning it out after my father‘s death," said Jordan, quietly. "It was lyiag among some burned papers. Will you return it to me, please?" Lavarick folded it and thrust it in his pocket, his eyes fixed on Jordan‘s face with an awful look. He seized a carafe from a side table and gulped down a glassful, then stood breathing hard and staring vacantly at Jordan. f "For you.; (;:w"x; l-;kâ€"e:"VIIe ‘Qnrid, "I trust you will not commit any rash deed. For your own. sakeâ€"â€"-"’ & "You will take care of te papers, Mr. Smith," he said, blandly, for the beneâ€" fit of the footman in the hall. But Lavarick, as if he had forgotten his assumedg cnaracter and part, strode down the steps and along the drive with bent head and white, distorted face, his hand clutching the pocket in which he had thrust the letter. CHAPTER XXIV. A wise maxim maker has asserted that there can be no love between two women when both are young and pretty. As is usual with maxim makers, he wam wrong, and Sylvia and Audrey proved him so. t E 5 s nr "It‘sâ€"it‘s her handwriting!" he said, hoarsely. "It‘s her nameâ€"Rachel‘s!" and he dashed his hand on the signaâ€" ture. "You recognize it?" said Jordan, graveâ€" ly, almost pityingly. "It‘s a heartrendâ€" ing letter; the appeal of a helpless girl to the man who has ruined and deserted her." "Leave that to me!" he said, brokenâ€" ly; then he laughed a horrible laugh. "If you‘d only told me this, given me this letter last night, I‘d have let you off the money." "The proof you ask for," said Jordan, and then, as if reluctantly, he handed Lavarick the paper. Nee o. It was an old letter which had apparâ€" ently been partly burned. The date and the commencement were destroyed, but the body and the signature remained. _ Jordan stood, rather paler than usual but with his eves fixed on the carpet. _ _ Lavarick stopped him with a gesture at once defiant and savage. _ _ Lavarick seized it and examined it, then he glared up at Jordan. _ _ m | Lavarick eyed him with savage inâ€" credulity and suspicion. "Stow all that!" he said hoarsely. "What is it?" "I WHI tell you," said Jordan, gravely. "You taunted me that night with being the canse of the quarre! between my father and my halfâ€"brotner Neville. It was an ignorant and unjust accusation. The cause of the trouble between Sir Greville and Neville, who was his favorâ€" ite son, wasâ€"your daughter." _ Lavarick started back, gasping. _ _"What!" he said. almost inaudibly, his eyes fixed on Jordan‘s face. Jordan shook his head gravely. "What I :ell you is true," he said. "It came to my father‘s ears that Neville wasâ€"well, wellâ€"being seen too frequentâ€" ly with your daughter Rachel, and my father taxed Neville with his intended perfidy, and bade him give up his deâ€" signs upon a young and innocent girl.

He persisted in his evil courses; a stormy scene ensued between my father and him, and then Neville disappeared. I fearâ€"I greatly fear that he persuaded your unhappy daughter to accompany him." Lavarick stood white and trembling. "Is this one of your lies?" he got out at last. "Is this a dodge of yours. to come over me?" Jordan shook his head. ‘"You do right to distrust me, Banks." he said, "but I am telling you the truth. Why should I concoct this story? My brother Neville is doubtless dead, and beyond the reach of your vengeance; inâ€" deed, if I did not think so, I should not have told you, for I bear him no ill will." Lavarick‘s trembling lips twisted into a m_wer. "You bate him," he said, hoarsely. "But that‘s nothing to do with me. Give me proofs,. What‘s that in your hand?" rinute or so with a letter in his hasQ. own with the gait, and. indeed, the exâ€" ivesion, of a tiger thirsting for blood, . pped and glared at him. "What‘s that?" he asked. Jordan held the letter firmly.

No one has yet explained this strange inversion of temperature, but it has now been observed so many times in different parts of the world that there can be no doubt about it. This warmer stratum of air has not yet been discovered over the tropical Atlantic, but the noteworthy fact has been established that above the equator in summer it is colder at a height of eight miles than it is in winter at the same height in north temperate regions. Meteorologists now think they have reason to believe that this warmer air exists throughout the tropical regions at heights exceeding 50,000 feet, and that it is probably a universal phenonâ€" enon existing at some height all around the globe.

Youth claims title to buoyancy and venturesomeness because of two things. First, perhaps, are the promptâ€" ings of an excess of mere animal spirâ€" its; second, lack of a sobering, qualiâ€" fying experience. Why is it, then, that in the face of this statement, which few people will challenge, one of the mest hampering characteristics of the young man in business comes of his showing in his business reâ€" lations a marked evidence of this qualit{ to which youth is the most logical heir? l l An employer will overlook a serious blunder of a young man‘s on the ground that the boy is young yet. Fellow workers, discovering that in a quiet, sober industriousness the young man has made an error and is in a tight place, will turn willingâ€" ly to help him out. But that young man who has brought a breezy, pushâ€" ing optimism into a staid, conservaâ€" tive house full of old employes will discover, if able to sense it, that exâ€" cuses are for others than himseli. "He‘s too fresh," is the colloquial diagnosis of his case when his 1)sck is turned; or if in the opinion of the young offender‘s fellows he has exâ€" ceeded prescribed bownds, . one or more of these fellow workers may make the diu%neosis of the young man‘s especial benefit, _ The man does not«always seem to like these conditions. He, perhaps, is not a fluent talker, and may even enjoy the society of his own sex, says The New York Evening Sun. He may think regretâ€" fully of the times when he had interestâ€" ing little chats with "her" ‘sisters, or, rather, when they were willing to chat with him. Or he may be so coldâ€"blooded as to anticipate the time when he and his wife will have almost too much of each other‘s society. [e] EGOTISM THE MAN‘S HANDICAP When they go out to walk or ride, he thinks he could enjoy the company of her elder sister, who is a good horseâ€" woman, or of the younger one, . who sketches; he may fancy the singing of one, or the wit of another, possibly the jokes of a third. But he is made to feel it would be high treason to yearn for strange gods. Ac Sisters who are loyal to one another would consider it shocking. The man is bound to one, and one only, and it is alâ€" most melancholy to witness the stamâ€" pede which takes place at his coming.

This over abundant enthusiasm and vonture some activity from either of these points of view, is distressing in an organization. Men who are jealous of its.invasion will have opportunâ€" ity to put impediments in its wa~, while the wiser ones who seck to war» the victim of it may see their efâ€" forts fail. I have a friend who has arrived at this age of wisdom from which 4e may see clearly into the status of the young man of this type. sor years he has conducted a department in n great institution which calls for teciâ€" nical work of the highest degree. Alâ€" ways the department hat had at least one young man in its rather in the position of a postgraduate apprenâ€" tice. He spoke to me some time ago in discouraged tones. seem to be responsible for this crit icism of the young man‘s sunverabund aunt activity. On the one side are th individuals arrived at wore sob»= "I‘ve discharged three young men from this department in three years because of the ‘big head,‘" said he ‘"‘and the yourg man I have now is getting away from me in that direction faster than 1 can pull him back." In this particular instance, however. a rather unusual influence is at work in the office to the undoing of this yo man. He came into it a gentle, tin.ir:ig, thoroughly conscientious béâ€" g)nner, who was little more than a y. He became popular with the men in the office from the first. Had he been full of ego, even, it mirht have been better for him, for the ofâ€" fice considered that he needed encourâ€" agement. They encouraged him and overdid it. From the shrinking, nerâ€" vous disposition which once appealed to the sympathies of that office this voung man has evolved â€" distressing confidence and complacency which he has not earned. Out of the natural buoyaney of his youth the young man in business is likely to fall a victim of egotism. True ambition rarely separates itself from the element of ego on the youthâ€" ful side of thirty. The young man may be constitutionally egotistic, or as in the case cited, he may have egotism thrust upon him. Although the Austrian Emperor eats very frugally, His Majesty pays his chief gook £2,000 a year, The court is noted for its elaborate repasts, and a French contemporary gives an amusing account of how Perskiâ€"for such is the chefs nameâ€"entered the Emperor‘s service. Perski was formerly chef to Count Rhein. gaum, and one day Francis Joseph, who dincd at the house of the count, was delighted with the manner in which the boar‘s head was served, and complimentâ€" ed the chef.

President Linconl‘s Partiality to His Big Scotch Plaid. On very rare occasions you now see some old lady wearing a shawl, but genâ€" erally speaking this once universal garâ€" ment has become obsolete. Even then, the shawl was originally not a woman‘s garment exclusively, for the Scotch Highlander has his tartan plaid, and the men of northern Italy still wear a cloak which is very little more than a shawl. There can be no question that the shawl is more useful and more picturesque as an article of attire than the close fitting coats both men and women now wear, The shawl could in case of emergency be used to protect two persons, or to wrap a shid P y o 0% aecccticss She #n R was on the 17th of the month? 5 Witnessâ€"Yes, it was the 17th, Lawyerâ€"Now, remember, you are unâ€" de::h oath, How do you know it was the 17tht Witnessâ€" â€"â€" was t! day after it was the News Tribune,.

What the guests need is wine, not water, Besides, Jesus is not asking us to fill one water pot, but six of them! Why, those six waterâ€"pots will hold one hundred and thirtyâ€"five gallons, Think of the long distance we will have to travel down 10 the well to get that water! Think of all the fun and the music and the songs we will lose while we are gone." \o, those young men spake not taus. They obeyed orders.
