to marry Miss Dora, I suppose you
would favor my suit?"
"That is not a new Wea to me. I as
ure you. All I need say is that -when
you gain Dora's consent you shall have
mine."
, "Thank you." Mr. Thauret said this
with suppressed emotion, and after that
neither man spoke until they Eaid good
night at Mr. Mitchel's hotel. Mr. Thau
ret, upon reaching his own room, smok
ed a cigar and blew little ringlets over
bis head, thus occupying himself till
long after midnight He seemed to be
building castles, and from the satisfied
expression on his face they must have
been grand ones.
Thus matters stood when the day
dawned upon which the marriage was
to occur. .Everything was bustle and
confusion at the home of the Eemsens.
The bridesmaids arrived early, helped
to deck the bride, and then stood around
in delighted admiration. Dora was in
ecstasies. Two magnificent bouquets
had been sent to her, one entirely of
carnation pinks, from Mr. Eandolph
and the other a fine assortment of cut
flowers, among which were three beau
tiful calla lilies, tied with long white
satin ribbons. These were the gift of
Mr. Thauret She stood admiring the
flowers for a -few moments, then tender
ly untied the pinks, and, taking a few
of each color, made a small bouquet,
which she pinned just at the opening of
her dress near the throat Thus they
were near enough to exhale a fragrance
of which she would be continually con
scious. Just before leaving the house,
however, she took the callas and carried
them with her in her gloved hand.
Before the day was over a little trag
edy occurred, of which she was not on
ly innocent, but unconscious. In the
throng entering the church her pinks
were swept from her breast, and in her
excitement she did not observe her loss.
Mr. Bandolph, however, the groom's
best man, noted carefully that she car
yietl flowers and that they were not his.
Subsequently she, in reply to a question
from him, admitted who had sent them,
and though he made no remark he slept
little that night. Thus easily men suf
fer. Emily was dressed but there, why
should I attempt to describe what only
a Worth could have furnished and only
wealth could afford? If you can imag
ine the most beautiful shade and qual
ity of pearl colored silk, and add to that
the finest of lace, and to that the most
marvelous profusion of tiny ribbon bows,
then, as I hinted, recall that the genius
of Worth designed the garment, perhaps
you will imagine all that I could tell
you." At least I may say that as the
bride entered the church on the arm of
that magnificent man, Mr. Van Rawls-

"Thanh God, I am not too late."
ton, who, as her father's dearest friend,
had been invited to take his place, ev
ery woman present took one lingering
look at the woman and her gown and
then turned to her neighbor to express
jb'er admiration. Moreover, I will say
that the sum of all that praise was not
enough fully to describe Emily Remsen,
who looked every inch "a royal queen,"
as Dora delightedly told every one for
years afterward.
But pfter the bridal party had passed
people naturally looked for the groom,
and they wondered not to see him.
Whispering occurred, and inquiries were
made without satisfactory response.
Some thought that there had been a'
mistake, and that the signal had been
given to the bride and her friends too
soon. It was an awkward situation, be
cause, of course, once having reached
the altar, they could not turn and leave
the church again. Consequently they
simply stood and waited. Every one at
length grew so nervous that save for
the organ there gradually Stole over the
whole edifice a solemn silence. People
were awed, and fearing at last, as the
in'Inutes passed and still the groom did
npifc appear, that something dreadful
pither had" or was about to occur they
ajmost held, their breaths. A few inti
mate friends went out on tiptoe, but the
door leading to the vestry room was
guarded by a man in livery, who would
say nothing but that no one could be
admitted.
Meanwhile an exciting spene, though
a brief ose, was being enacted behind
that door. Just as ihe two parties wore
about to start on their way to the altar
a carriage had driven up furiously, and
from it had alighted Mr. Barnes. Hp
quickly entered the building and wen
straightway into the vestryroom, brush
ing aside tte man at the door. Once in.
tjje presence pf the groom and his gen
tlemen attendants, he astonished them
by saying:
"Thank God, I am not too late."
"Are you quite sure?" said Mr.
Mitchel, with provoking calmness.
"I have come here to stop this wed
ding," said the detective, a little excit
ed. "You mean to delay it That you are
doing now, as I should be on my way to
tbe altar to join my bride."
"I tell yon, I come to stop this wed;
ding altogether and"
"One moment, Mr. Barnes. There is
jig time to lose, and J do not wish you
to speak too openly. Let me talk for
you. You have reasons, which I can
guess, for wishing mo not to be married.
Am I right?"
"I have said as much."
"If I can-prove to you that .you gain
nothing by ' hindering this ceremony,
wilt "you alldw-it to proceed and then
act as you may pleai-a afterward instead
of now?"
"Of course, but that is impossible. "
"Nothing is impossible, "Mr. Barnes.
Bead that if you please. "
Taking from his pocket a folded pa
per, ho handed it to Mr.- Barnes, who
took it nervously, read it and looked
hp amazed.
"This ia an outrage, Mr. Mitchel,
asd?' -
'And, IPs have given me your word
-pot'tcLfcjriher interfere at-this time'. If
1
you will meet me at "my notei at' la
olclock, I will answer whatever other
demands you may have upon ma I
think you know that you may trust mo
to keep the engagement Now, gentle
men, wo will proceed. " Saying which,
he and his friends filed out of the room
and down the aisle of the church, much
to the relief of the . immense throng
awaiting them, leaving Mr. Barnes ut
terly discomfited. The ceremony then
proceeded without further delay, and in
half an hour Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Mitch
el were taken in their carriage to the
Fifth Avenuo hotel. Mr. Barnes did not
wait to see them leave the cathedral,
but hurried away almost immediately
after having read the document which
Mr. Mitchel had handed to him. This
was a certificate of marriage dated the
day before, and performed at the may
or's office. Thus, whatever reason the
detective had for stopping the marriage
the telegram from Sef ton had enabled
Mr. Mitchel to once more outwit Mr.
Barnes by simply allowing a civil con
tract ,to antedate the religious ceremony.
CHAPTER XV.
MIL MITCHEL EXPLAINS A FEW THINGS.
Immediately upon his arrival in New
York Mr. Barnes went to his office.
Here he was slightly surprised to find
Lurtte.
"Well," said he tersoly.
"I came hero," said the girl, "so
that I could report to you tho minute
you got here. There is no timoto lose."
"Why, what is up?"
"Your plan about my getting infor
mation from the East Orange postoffice
did not work. The man said that, though
he would like to serve you, ho was
afraid it might be construed into tam
pering with the mails; that you would
need an order from the postmaster gen
eral. I went to work then on the other
line and began a systematic examina
tion of every house in tho place. It was
hard work, but at last I found the child.
You don't want details now, because
she has been taken away again. Mitch
el went down yesterday and brought her
to Now York."
"Why did you not follow him and Eeo
where he took her?"
"I did, and this time I am sure he
did not suspect that I was after him.
He took the child to the Remsens. "
"To the ReniEens? What can that
mean?"
"I don't know. But Mitchel and Miss
Remsen are to be married at St Pat
rick's cathedral at 10 o'clock this morn
ing." "Not if I cant'topit," replied the
detective, and he hastened up to tho
church with tho result told in the last
chapter.
Promptly at 2 o'clock Mr. Barnes
presented himself at the Fifth Avenue
hotel accompanied by Mr. Neuilly.
They were asked to go up to Mr. Mitch
el's apartments, and there they wero
greeted by that gentleman as affably as,
though they had been of his wedding
party. Indeed he began the conversation
jn rather a jocular way, saying :
'Ah! Mr, Barnes, delighted that
now I can entertain you moro at my
leisure. This morning, you seo, I was
in a great hurry. You called at a very
inopportune time, and I am afraid that
I was rather abrupt "
"Mr. Mitchel, I am not in tho humor
for nonsense. This is a very serious
visit, I assuro you. This gentleman is
Mr. Neuilly of New Orleans, and ho
has come all this distance to aid the
cause of justice."
"Delighted to meet you, Mr. Neuilly,
I am sure," said Mr. Mitchel, approach
ing and extending his hand so cordially
that tho elder man took it, though ho
had thought that ho would rather han
dle hot coals than the hand of the man
who he supposed was guilty of wrong
ing the daughter of his old friend in
the south. Mr. Mitchel did not seem to
notice his agitation, but, begging them
to be seated, he himself took a comfort
able chair and continued, "Now, Mr.
Barnes, I am wondering if it is possible
that you havo traped my wife's ruby as
far away as New Orleans?"
' 'I have not been looking for it. I sup
pose you know why I wished to stop
your marriago?"
"Why, no; not precisely. What was
your reason?"
"If you do not know it, why did you
get married yesterdny?"
"I might reply that it is often done,
bnt I will be honest and tell you that
such a proceduro never occurred to me
till I heard that you wero coming home.
Then, you see, I thought that you might
take the idea into your head you do
get odd notions, you must admit that
I ought not to get married just now. I
knew you well enough to believe that if
you did harbor a tbbught pf that nature i
you would not hesitate to interfere. I j
did you no injustice there, for that is
just what you tried to do, yon see. Con- j
sequently, ns I had set my heart on be
ing married in the cathedral precisely J
at tho time appointed, I just took the
bull by the herns and persuaded my lit
tle girl to marry me yesterday. That is
my story in full, I assure you. Now, j
what was your object?" j
"Yon know it very well, and all this j
yarning is pure bluster. You know well j
enough that Iwantei tp use Miss Emily !
Remsen as a witness against you, and
that I could not do so after sho became
Mrs. Mitchel."
"Oh! Welhyes; admit that idea
was in my mind, Mr. Barnes. And now
what are you going to do about it?"
"In the first place I shall arrest you
for abducting the child who was in the
care of Rose Montalbon. " Mr. Barnes
expected some surprise from his adver
sary, but he was disappointed.
"Yes," said he, "and then?"
"Then- I shall compel you, through
the court, to reveal her present hiding
place and to produce her."
"I think you might havo trouble to do
that were it not that I do not object tq
it In fact, wo will reverse your order
pf things and begin with the production
pf the child. Emily!" In answer to hifl
call his' wife came into the room, bring
ing with her a beautiful girl. Her hus
band arose, and taking the little one by
the hand coolly approached Mr. Neuilly,
and said: "Rose, this is Mr. Neuilly.
He was a dear good friend to your moth
er, and has come all the way from New
Orleans to see you. I think he would
like to kiss you, would you not, Mr.
Neuilly?"
That gentleman Eeemed much moved.
To him the vision of loveliness stand
ing demurely before hhn brought back
tho memory of the long ago. She re
minded him of another little girl whose
growth into budding womanhood hp
had watched tenderly, having in his
.youth loved her mother, the grandpar
gnt of the child before him- His guife
had not been successful, and for love of
that woman he.had remained ja bachelor
all his days. "Now he cduld'seo chang
ing expressions in this young face,
which reminded him of both those wom
en who had been dear to him. Without
a word he drew her toward him, and
kissed her once. Then he arose, still
holding her hand, and led her toward
the door of the next room; there he
kissed her once more, this time on the
forehead, and then bade her wait, shut
ting the door after she left him. Then,
turning with a fury in his heart and re
pressed passion in his voice, he exclaim
ed: "Mr. Mitchel, either you are the
most contempti bio villain on the face of
this earth, or else there is some hideous
mistake here. Explain it, man ! I mosir
know at once!"
"Must, Mr. Neuilly, is a word that I
seldom obey. But I know how you have
suffered, and havo no desire to prolong
this interview a moment more than is
absolutely necessary. First, however, I
must understand the situation. What do
you and Mr. Barnes here think it to be?' '
"I will explain briefly," said tho de
tective, "provided your wifo will with
draw." "Mywifois now a part of myself,"
said Mr. Mitchel, proudly placing an
arm around her as she stood beside
him. "You need not hesitate to speak.
She has promised to share my life with
me, to take me as I am. She will begin
the task at once. Go on. "
"So be it. I know now that Rose
Mitchel, who was murdered, was known
in New Orleans as Rose Montalbon,
and that she was your wife. I have also
discovered that you deceived a young
Creole, tho mother, of that child who has
just left us; that when you deserted
her sho died broken hearted, while you
allowed tho Montalbon woman to take
the girl. and pass it off as her own,
though later she was kidnaped by you.
The woman suspected that you would
wish to marry again and swore to pre
vent it. Her appearance upon the sceno
just as you wero to becomo a husband
must have been a menace to you. Do
you see trie point? Murders have been
committed with less motive. I think,
therefore, that I have sufficient evidence
upon which to arrest you."
"You might arrest me upon less evi
dence," said Mr. Mitchel. "It is done
every day. But to.convict me you would
have to prove all this. "
"How do you know that I cannot
prove it?"
"For tho very simple reason that your
facts are all wrong."
"Very good, Mr. Mitchel, but you
will have to prove that"
"I am fully prepared to do so. To
begin with, according tp your story, I
abducted this child. There you are pnly
partly right. I did take her away from
the Montalbon, and l did it, as you
might say, by stealth and force. But I
had the fullest right tq do so, "
"You admit, then, that youaroher
father?"
"On the contrary, I deny it, and
thero is the weak point in your story.
Your argument all depends upon my
hiiving been guilty of wronging that
girl's mother and the Montalbon 's hav
ing me in her power. In point of fact,
I am not her father, and the Montalbon
had but a slim chance to blackmail me. "
"But you admitted to mo that you al
lowed her to do so ; that you gave her
a large amount in jewels."
"That is true, yet I did not submit
to blackmail."
"Mr. Mitchel. I seldom forget a
man's words. You told me that day in
the vaults that you were in the woman's
power ; that she could ventilate certain
scandals which might break your en
gagement Yet now you say you were
not in her power and that you did not
submit to blackmail How pan you ex
plain such conflicting statements?"
'Two conflicting statements may both
be true, provided a lapse of time occurs
between them. When I admitted that I
had been in the power of that woman,
J thought so ; therefore I spoke tho truth.
When I say now that I was not, I also
speak truly. In the interval I have
learned to appreciate the character of
the woman who is now my wife. That
is all. I know now that the Montalbon's
story, blazoned forth to tho world,
would not have affected her faith in
me if I had told her my own version. "
"For heaven's sake, gentlemen," in
terrupted Mr. Neuilly, "stop this argu
ment and get down to the facts. I am
impatient to know the truth. "
"Yes, Roy," said Emily. "Why not
simply tell the story as a narrative, and
let tho whole truth bo known?"
"That is what I mean to do. I havo
only been enjoying a little sparring
with Mr. Barnes. But it is prneVtq Mr.
Neuilly, who, I hope, will pardon me.
To begin at the beginning, I must go
pack to my youth m ft ew Orleans. I
was in love with a beautiful young girl. "
Here he pressed his wife's hand, and she
returnod it, as though to say that she
understood. "I think I need not men
tion the name of Rose's mother, Mr.
Neuilly, unless you have already done
150."
"Heaveu forbad that I should have
betrayed the secref," said tho old man.
"I did not suppose that you had, for
I know you ii bVa truo man, though I
have never mat you before. This stater
ment may surprise you, but it is true,
I am not the "man for whom you take
me. He is now in a lunatic asylum,
while I am his cousin. I know it is sup
posed that I am the crazy man, but that
is an error, promulgated by the Montal
bon to serve her own ends. The facts
then are thus : While a boy at school I
loved my girl companion, little Rose's
mother. Just before I left the south to
enter Harvard, I told my little sweet
heart she was then but 15 that I
would marry her upon my return. This
was my first love and hers. I had a cous
in, older than, "myself by ten years,
handsome and wealthy, but a gambler
and addicted tp heavy drinking, This,
woman Montalbon, as you know, kept
a gambling den, and naturally my un
fortunate cousin was a constant visitor
at the house. One night, while intoxi
cated with wine, she persuaded him to
marry her, a clergyman being called in
and a ceremony privately performed.
He became entirely sober only after sev
eral days had passed and then had en
tirely forgotten about the marriage.
The scheming devil, Montalbon, did not
remind him of it, but by patient work
insidiously persuaded him that be
should be a married man. She even
suggested a bride, none other than my
little sweetheart Her object in this,
was twofold, money and revenge. By
leading my cousin into a bigamous alli
ance, with her pwn marriage certificate,
as a weapon, slip could, readily extort
mpney from him, Her revenge was to
be agaihstthe family of my little sweet
heart .aeainst whom she thonht Kehe
"rpu need tint hesitate to speak,"
had a grievance. "ier"plotting was" en
tirely successful. My cousin was hand
some, I was away, and once he had be
come thoroughly acquainted with tho
young Creole's charms he becamo so ar
dent a suitor that at length sho listened
to his pleading and married him. Then
he was in the power of. tho Montalbon,
and she bled him for five years, by
which hmo little Rose haa been born.
"Meanwhile I had completed my col
lege career, but had not returned to
New Orleans because of my deep disap
pointment upon learning that my sweet
heart had married another man. At
this timo I was in Paris, when one day
I received a piteous letter from the girl
wife, telling me that the blow had fall
en; that the Montalbon had produced
her marriage certificate and claimed her
husband, thus dishonoring the daughter
of her enemy. The letter also begged
my forgiveness for the wrong done to
me. I read between the lines and recog
nized the cry of a broken heart, tho
bleat of a lamb left to die on the frozen
plain. I hurried home with but one
thought uppermost to have revenge up
on my cousin. I arrived too late. Not
only was the girl dead, but my cousin
had disappeared.
"I heard that he had gOHo out west,
and thither I followed him. I would
get track of him from time to time, but
it seemed fated always that he should
have just left a place when I confident
ly expected to come up with him. Thus
five years passed, and at last I did meet
him. I at once charged him with his
crime and asked for revenge. He laugh
ed at me and refused to fight. I then
warned him that I should take his life
at the first chance that offered, when I
could do so either under seeming provo
cation or else where I could not be sus
pected." "Are you not admitting," interrupt'
ed Mr. Barnes, "that you harbored a
murderous spirit?"
"Mr. Barnes, if all men were punish
ed for their thoughts, the criminal class
would be greatly enlarged. You cannot
call me to account for anything except
my acts. At last my chanco came. I
followed him one dark night as he went
off prospecting in an entirely new di
rection ; wo were in a mining country.
He tramped most of the night, and I
pursued. By dawn we were miles away
from a habitation. I then made myself
known to him and once more asked
bim to fight it out. He saw .hat I was
in earnest and that ho was simply com
pelled to battle for his life.
"Under those circumstances, of
course, he fought as the worst coward
would do when driven to desperation.
He decided to use pistols, though I
wished to try our cause with knives. I
confess, that I wanted the satisfaction
of stabbing him again and again. I
wanted to see his life's blood flow at
each stroke. It seemed to me tame tq
stand off at a distance and send one lit
tle leaden ball in his direction. Still I
admitted his right of choice, and deter
mined tp. aim as accurately as possible
and to send my bullet straight You
pee, I did not think of my own life. I
had made this vengeance my one ob
ject, and after accomplishing that I
thought there would bo nothing more
for me to do. Consequently I expected
to kill him easily, and I did not care if
his bullet found my heart or not. Per
haps I hoped it would. Just as we were
standing up and preparing to fight,
something occurred that almost com
pletely unnerved me and changed the
whole result Ho lowered his pistol and
said:
" 'Wait a moment; I havo a favor to
ask. I feel certain that you will kill
me. You have been seeking my life so
long that I am sure you will get it. It
is fate. But I, too, have suffered in the
last five years. The favor thu$ I ask is,
that if I die. you will promise to get my
child ou,t pf that fiends clutches. '
'Your- child !' I gasped. I thought
it died,'
" 'That was the Montalbon's lie. Tho
little girl lived, and she took it. I havo
made a will in favor of my child, leav
ing her all my wealth ; you will find it
in my coat Oddly enough, I named
you as executor. I knew that you had
loved the mother, though, as God is my
judge, I did not know it when I mar
ried her. But I am ready if you are. '
"Thus we stood up and fired at each
other. The startling news just received.
made my aim bad, for instead of hitting
him in the heart, as I could easily have
done, my pullet struck him in tho head.
He fell, and I rushed toward bim, to
discover whether he was badly hurt.
He was bleeding profusely, and I hasti
ly bandaged up the wound and so stop
ped the flow of blood. I then went on
to the next mining camp beyond. We
returned with a litter, and took him
back. There was a man among us who
claimed that he had studied medicine,
and he attended my cousin. He removed
tho bullet, and found that the wound
was not very deep, but the skull was
fractured. He was ill for two months.
and then slowly recovered his "fiealth.
But his reaspi was entirely'gone. I took
him tp. New Qrleaus aud placed him ia
an asylum, and there be has been ever
since."
