CHAPTER XVH (Continued.)
"We might as well got Fortune's
things out of tho way, too, Celeste."
"Yes, Madame."
"And bring my chocolate at half
feftor eight In tho morning. It Is quite
possible that we shall Ball tomorrow

depth of tho cavernous trunk. Celosto
wag no longer surprised; at least she
mover evinced this emotion. For
"twelve yenrB now sho had gono from
one end of the globo to the other, upon
the shortest notice. While surprise
"was lost to hor or under such con
trol as to render It negligible, she still
shivered with pleasurable excitement
at tho thought of entering a port.
Madamo was so clover, so transcen
dency clever I If she, Celeste, had
not been loal, sho might havo rotlred
long ago, and owned a shop of hor
own In tho busy Iluo do nivoll. IJut
that would havo neant a humdrum ex
istence; and besides, she would have
grown fat, which, of tho seven hor
rors confronting woman, so madamo
ald, was first In number.
"Be Very careful how you handle
ithat blue ball-gown."
"Oh, Madamo!" reproachfully,
r "It Is the Bllver braid. Do not
pre'ss tho rosettes too harshly,"
Celeste looked up. Mrs. Chedsoye
answered her Inquiring gaze with a
thin smile.
"You aro wonderful, Madame I"
"And so aro you, 0010810, In your
way."
At leu O'clock Mrs. Chedsoye was
ready ,for her pillow. 9ho nlopt nt
fully; awoko at eleven and again at
twelve After that sho knew nothing
more till luo inula rouBcd her with
the cup of chocolate. She sat up nnd
nipped slowly. Celeste waited at tho
Jbedsldo with the tray. Her admira
tion for hor mlstrosB never waned.
Mrs, Chedsoye was Just as beautiful
in dishabille as In a ball-gown. Sho
drained the cup, and as she turned
to replace It upon tho tray, dropped
It with a clatter, a startled cry coming
from her lips.
"Madamo?"
, "Fortune's bed I"
It bad not been slept In. The
Bteomer-clook lay across tho counter
pane exactly where Celeste herself
had laid it tho night beforo. Mrs.
Chedsoye sprang out of her bod and
ran barefoot to tho other. Fortuno
had not been In tho room slnco dinner
time.
"Celeste, dress mo as quickly as
possible Hurry! Something has
happened to Fortuno."
Never, In oil her years of service,
could she recollect such a toilet as
jnndame made that morning. And
never before had she shown such con
cern over her daughter, It was amus

Mrs. Chedsoye repeatedly murmured
fas the nimble fingers of tho maid flew
bver her. "Tho silly llttlo fool; and
&t a time iiko this J" Not that re
morse of any kind stirred Mrs. Chod
poyo'B conscience; sho waB Blmply ex
tremely annoyed.
She hastened out Into tho corridor

er's room. No answer. Sho flew
downstairs, and thoro sho eaw him

"It's all right, Kato; plenty of room

noticing his stBter'a face
"Fortune did not return to her room
last night."
"What? Where do you supposo tho
llttlo fool went, then?"
They both seemed to look upon For
tune as a llttlo fool.
"Yesterday sho threatened to run
away."
"Hun away? Kate, bo eenslblo.
How tho deuce could she run away?
Sho hasn't a penny. It takcB money
to go anywhere ovor hero. Sho has
probably found somo girl friend, and
hns spent tho night with her. We'll
soon find out whero she Is." Tho Ma
jor wasn't worried.
"Have you seen Horace?" with dis
cernible nnxlcty.
"No. I didn't wait up for him. He's
olccplng off a night of it. You know
his falling."
"Find out If he Is In his room. Go
to tho porter's bureau and inquire for
both htm and Jones."
The Mnjor, perceiving that his sister
was genuinely alarmed, rushed ovor
to tho bureau. No, neither Mr. Ry
anne nor Mr. Jones had been In the
hotel since yesterday. Would tho por-
jtcr Bend some ono up to the rooms
of those gentlemen to mako sure? Cer
tainly. No; thero was no ono In the
rooms. The Major was now himself
perturbed. He went back to Mrs.
Chedsoye.
"Kato, neither has been In his room
slnco yesterday. If you want my
opinion, it Is this: Hoddy has seques
tered Jones all right, and Is some
where In town, sleeping off tho effects
of a night of it."
"He has run away with Fortuno!"
Bho cried. Her expression was tragic.
Sho couldn't havo told whether it was
due to her daughter's disappearance
or to Horace's defection. "Did ho not
threaten?"
"Sh! not so loud, Kato."
"Tho little slmploton defied mo yes
terday, and declared sho would leavo
me." t
"Oho!" Tho Major fingered his im
perial. "That puts a now fnco to tho
subjoct. But Jones! Ho has not
turned up. Wo can not movo till
wo find out what has become of him.
I know. I'll Jump Into a carriage and
see if ho got as far as. tho English

but paced tho lounging-room, litho nnd
panthorlsh. Frequently sho paused,
as If examining tho patterns In tho
huge carpets. She entered tho reception-room,
camo back, wandered off
Into tho ball-room, stopped to inspect

Kato, there's a big thing in front No

We'll got into Now York in time for

tho whole business at the start, but

Feverishly Mrs. Chedsoye propared
for tho Journoy. Sho was irrltnblo to
Celeste, Bho was unbearable to her
brother, who took a seat In a forward
compartment to be rid of hor. It was
only when thoy went aboard the
steamer that night that she became
reconciled to tho inevitable. At any
.rate, the presence of Jones would
counteract any influence Horace
might havo gained over Fortuno. That
tho three of them might suffer unheard-of
miseries never formed
thought in her mind. It appealed to
her in tho sense of a comody which
annoyed rather than amused Lor.
Thoy woro greeted effusively by
Wallace, ho of tho bulbous nose; nnd
his first inquiry was of Ryanne. Brief
ly tho Major told him what had hap
pened and added his fears. Wallaco
was greatly cast down. Hoddy had
so set his heart upon this venture that
It was a shamo to proceed without
him. He had warned him at the be
ginning about that Infernal rug; but
Hoddy wan always set in his daro
dovll schemes. So long as the Major
had the plans, he supposed thnt they
could turn tho trick without Hoddy's
assistance; only, it seemed rathor
hard for him not to bo in the sport
"Ho told mo that nothing would give
him greater pleasure than to stick his
fist in the first bag of yellow-boys.

pushed tho two wondering men inside,
and pointed at the floor. A largo
steumor-roll lay unstrapped, spread
out.
"I only Juat opened It," she said.
"I nover thought of looking into it
at Cairo. Hore, it looked so bulky
that I was curious."

exclaimed tho Major wrathfully,
"What tho devil Is It doing in For

"That Is what I should llko to

whether it was dutiable or not. Being
a copy, it was not an original work

"Yea. This must bo Mr. Reynolds,

"Yes. Everything is ready for your

"Not at all, not nt all," said tho Ma

"You must bo very good friends of

Mrs. Chedsoye sweetly. "It was at

"Wo hope to boo you again aome

Wallaco, taking up his rolo once
more, tipped his hat and rushed away
for ono of his favorite haunt3.

backed up by a cable, was onough

"Everything is out of tho way," said
tho Major.

"Whero 1b Jones now?" ho asked
tho Major, who sat at his left.
"Haven't bad a line from him for a

"Just before we sailed," said Mrs.

of a smllo moderated the Interest in
her face. They might bo upon the

upon his good taste In tho selection

office work, however, drove the deter

The instant his car carried him out
of sight, a strange scene was enacted.
The butler and tho first man seized
the Major by the arms, and tho threo
executed a pas-soul. Mrs. Chedsoye
eyed these manifestations of Joy ston
ily. "Now then, what's been done?"
asked tho Mnjor, pulling down hlB
cuffs and shaking tho wrinkles from
his sleeves.
"Half done!" cried tho butler.
"Where's that wall-safe?" the Major
wanted to know.
"Behind that sketch by Detallle."
And tho butler, strange to say, pro

"Can you open It?"
"Tried, but failed. Wallace is the
man for that."
"He'll bo along in an hour or so."
"Where's Ryanne?"
"Don't know; don't care." Tho Ma
jor sketched the predicament of their
fellow-conspirator.
Tho butler whistled, but callously.
Ono more or less didn't matter in such
an enterprise.
When Wallaco arrived ho applied
his talent and acquired science to the
wall-safe, and finally swung outward
the llttlo steel door. The Major
pushed him aside and thrust a hand
Into the metaled cavity, drawing out
an exquisite Indian casket of rose
wood and mother-of-pearl. Ho opened
the lid and dipped a hand within. Em
eralds, deep and light and shaded, cut
and uncut and engraved, flawed and
almost perfect Ho raised a handful
and let them tinkle back into tho
casket. Ono hundred in all, beauties,
every ono of them, and many famous.
And while ho toyed with them,
pleased as a child would have been
over a handful of marbles, Mrs. Ched
soye spread out the ancient Yhlordes
in the library. Sho stood upon the
central pattern, musing. Her mood
was not ono which she had called into
being; not often did she become ret
rospective; the past to her was al
vays like a page in a book, once fin
ished, turned down. Her elbow in
ono palm, her chin in tho other, she
stared without seeing. It was this
house, this home, it was each sign of
riches without luxury or ostentation,
whero money expressed itself by taste
and simplicity; a homo such as ahe
had always wanted. And why, with
nil her beauty and Intellect, why had
she not como Into possession? She
knew. Lovo that gives had never
been hers; hers had been the lovo
that receives, self-love. She had bar
tered her body once for riches and
had been fooled, and she never could
do it again. . . . And tho child
was overflowing with tho lovo that
gives.
The flurry of snow outside in tho
court sho saw .not. Her fancy re
formed the pretty garden at Mentone.
Inclosed by pink-washed walls. Many
a morning from her window she had
watched Fortune among tho flowers,
going from one to tho other, like a
bee or a butterfly. Sho had watched
her crow, too, with that same detach
ment a machinist feels as he puts to
gether the invention of another man.
Would sho over seo her again? Her
shoulders moved ever bo llttlo. Prob
ably not. Sho had blundered wilfully.
Sho should have waited, thrown the
two together, maneuvered. And she
had permitted this adventure to ob
sess her! Sho might have stood with
in this houso by right of law, mother
hood, marriage. Ryanne was in love
with Fortuno, and Jones by this tlmo

lonely place.
She wished it might bo Jones. And

Find Valuable. Fresco In Ruins.
One of the latest and most In
teresting things uncovered during tho
new excavations at Pompeii under the
direction of Professor Splnazzola, Is
a fresco which is regarded as the
best found. It was ono of tho orna
ments of tho facado of a houso situat
ed in tho main publlo thoroughfare,
of which tho root was In almost per
fect condition. It reproesnts the
Pompelan Venua standing erect
crowned with n diadem in tho midst
of flying Cupids on a chariot drawn
by four Indian elephants. Seen from
tho front, tho representation of theso
animals is strikingly realistic. The
archaeological valuo of tho fresco is
extremely groat, for tho colors are
very fresh and harmonious.

A cold in tho head is rarely sovnre

a torriblo mistake, however, to pass
by a cold in tho head as a trivial mat

Those who havo used Peruna for
such cases will testify unanimously
that a few doses 1b sufficient to ro

much better it 1b to treat a cold in this
way than it is to allow it to go on and

efTects that will nover be eradicated.
Yot thero aro thoso who neglect to

This neglect Is duo to tho falso notion
that a cold in tho head is hardly worth

A cold in the head is In reality a
caso of acuto catarrh. It ought to bo
called so, in order to awaken people
from their lethargy on this subjoct In
a large per cent, of cases cold in the
