CHAPTER II. (Continued.)
She hesitated. And ho saw hor bans
hands they wero vory small hands
he. 'had noticed, with slenderly-shaped
Angers wring themselves togcthor na
if In overwhelming distress or perplex
ity. Then sho spoko In a half-stilled
voice:
"I think I shall go homo to him. I
am afraid to bring nnothor doctor. I
I shall do what I can for him myself."
A thought struck Enderby and ho
said quickly, with a shado of embar
rassment: "If you aro afraid of Doctor How
arth's charges, Miss Lloyd, I think you
can let your mind bo easy about that
Ho Is, I bcllovc, a very kindly and
generous man."
Ho saw tho girl start and flinch a
llttlo, as It his words had stung her.
Thon sho said:
"It is not that. I think I had better
go straight home."
"Very well."
Enderby stopped tho driver and
stepped out. Tho gaslight fell full on
tho girl's face as ho turned to look at
it. What a ghastly, palo, troubled
young face It was! Yet It struck him
that it might under cortaln circum
stances, bo beautiful.
Tho features wero small and aqui
line, tho brow childishly smooth and
white, the mouth and chin softly and
roundly formed, though tho former
had a strange expression of self-repression
now; tho oyea wore weird
and dark, though the hair socmcd au
burn, tho brows abovo thorn of startl
ing blackness. And what a child sho
looked! Hardly sixteen, he thought,
as ho looked at her.
"What address shall I glvo tho
man?'' ho asked.
"Burdon Mansions," sho answered.
"They are only about flvo minutes'
walk from hero."
Enderby knew them well by name
small flats, mostly occupied by needy
clorks and poor working women.
Ho stood still for a moment think
ing. "I hope your foot will bo all right,"
he said then, "and that your father
may bo no worse. May I call In a few
days and see?"
Sho gavo him a quick, almost terri
fied glance, then suddonly her Hps be
gan to tremble pitifully, and sho
turned asldo her head.
"How kind you have been!" sho
faltored, "and I have never thanked
you." Sho put out her hand as If lm
pulslvely, then drew it back before
ho could touch It "It Is kind of you
to wish to call," sho said. "Yes. I
shall be very grateful if you do. Wo
llvo two stories up."
"How will you get up with that
sprained foot of yours?" ho asked.
"Don't you think I had hotter come
with you and help you?"
"Oh, It Is not much," she said, hor
voice faltering; but without another
word, Endorby got in again, and they
Jrovo on to Burdon Mansions.
They wero a pile of dull, dreary
looking buildings. Enderby paid tho
man and helped tho girl, who limped
painfully within tho buildings. But
when they attempted to climb the
stairs, ho saw that it cost her terrible
pain, and ho turned to her, saying
quietly:
"Will you allow mo to carry you
up?" It is tho easiest and speediest
way.
A llttlo crimson patch suddenly
showed on her cheek, like tho mark of
a warm finger; she put up her own
hand and rubbed It feverishly as if It
burned.
"No, no; you musn't!" sho said
But Endorby had already stooped and
taken her in hts arms. How light sho
was not so heavy as many a child
of ten!
Endorby had nover had a woman In
his arms before, and ho was almost
astonished himself to find how tender
ly thoy enfolded this girl. But for tho
sake of ono woman Enderby was ten
dor to all.
Thoy wore soon nt tho landing of
the second flat. Endorby set hor
down, nnd sho stood leaning on the
wall, her fnco deadly palo again, but
hor eyes shining strangely.
"I cannot thank you," sho said, her
lips trembling oddly and uncontroll
ably. "But perhaps God will repay
you for your kindness to me a
stranger of whom you know nothing,
They say London Is full of wlckod
ness, but It must be full of goodness,
too. Now I must go."
"I shall wait for a moment hero,'
said Enderby, with a sudden resolu
tlon. "And you will come out and tell
mo If your father is any better. Per
haps I can do something yet to help
you."
Sho turned away and opened tho
door on tho loft with a lachkey, thon
closed it gently. Enderby remained
whero he was. In a few minutes tho
door opened again, and tho girl stood
at tho entrance
"Ho Ib sleeping," sho said, whisper
lng. "Porhaps ho will bo hotter now.
"That Is good," Enderby answered
heartily. "May I call in n few days?'
"Yes; but my father docs not wtsh
anyone to know where he is. You
won't tell unyon about us?" sho
hesitated.
H. 3. Welsh
"You may depend upon mo," said
Enderby, heartily. "Good night."
Ho put out his hand, tho girl laid
hor small, slim ono In it, nnd Endorby
gavo It a friendly pressure. Thon ho
went nwny.
As ho omorged Into tho open air
again ho fancied a shadow lllttcd
nolsolcssly round a corner of tho man
sions. Then ho drew himself together
with a short laugh, for a dlsagrccahlo
thrill hud run through him at tho
fancy.
Ho had bidden tho hansom wait, and
ho went up to tho man, who was sit
ting drowsily beforo him.
"Did you notice a man go round tho
mnnsions as J came out, drlvor?"
Cabby shook his drowsy head.
"No, sir, I haven't. W'y, nil wise
folks Is in their beds in this 'oro lo
cality hours ago, I should Bay," ho
retorted, with a touch of porsonnl
feeling.
Endorby got In, and was soon being
driven to his rooms in tho West End.
Somehow, tho strange incidents of
tho night had oddly unsettled him.
Even when ho went to bed his dreams
wero disturbed by strange, uncomfort
ablo reproductions of these Incidents,
grotesquely nnd even horribly do-
formed. For so mntter-of-fact a man
Paul Enderby was oddly fanciful over
them.
Still, undoubtedly tho experience
had been rather a peculiar one.
He felt suro tho girl was refined and
of gentle birth; it is not dlfllcult to
detect tho signs of these. Hor accent
was not exactly an English one, yet
It was not peculiar enough to bo pro
nounced un-English.
Who was sho? Who was her father?
What reason could sho have for abso
lutely refusing to nllow another doc
tor but this Doctor Lyndon to see her
father? Who was this Doctor Lyn
don?
With the morning the incidents of
tho night beforo seemed to have drift
ed off into the same region as that in
which dreams are made; but ono
reminiscence of thorn remained with
Enderby, and oddly annoyed him. It
was the memory of tho man who had
passed In the hansom while ho was
speaking to tho girl who called her
self by the name of Lloyd.
Enderby sauntered along to tho
Courts, where he assumed gown and
wig, and listened to tho cases. He
was not absolutely a briefless barrlstor
and he was considered very clover.
But, besides that, Paul Enderby
came of a very good family, and was
not, though he himself was poor, so
vory far romovod from the Barony of
Eglln, having only five lives between
him and It So that Enderby was
somewhat of a spoiled child of society,
being a good-looking, Btralght-llmbed,
handsome fellow enough after tho puro
Saxon typo, and without a taint upon
his name.
Ho was coming out of tho Courts
whon some one tapped him on tho
shoulder.
Ah, Enderby, going to tho club,
are you? I'm duo there at llvo and
have ono or two engagements after
dinner. I supposo you will put In an
appearanco at tho Psnnlngtona to
night?"
Eudorby's pleasant, fresh-complex-
loned faco had been overshadowed by
a look of annoyance as tho newcomer
addressed him. He was a man a little
older than himself not above mlddlo
height, nnd slender with It, with a
palo, dark face, black eyes placed
rather close together, and a smooth
straight, unpleasant mouth, which had
a disagreeable habit of curling up
wards when ho laughed. Ho was Dig
by Dalton, and was by profession also
a barrister.
"I dare say I shall look In at tho
Ponnlngtons," ho answered, drily,
"But I have another engagement."
"Miss Lennox's reception?" Billed
Dalton. "Yes, of course, you will bo
there, Enderby. What a man you aro
for being asked out! By tho by, had
you anything on last night?"
Enderby looked straight Into tho
smiling face.
"Porhaps I had. May I ask why you
Inquire, Mr. Dalton?"
"Oh, nothing!" Tho other shrugged
hla shoulders. "Only curloim, wasn'
It? I wa8 driving over Westminster
about half past one, and I saw a man
with a girl on tho bridge. I could
hnvo sworn It was you. Curious
wasn't It?"
"Not at all," Enderby answered
coldly. "It was I."
"Oh, I beg your pardon! I really
would not havo mentioned It If I hud
thought that was the case," said Dal
ton, as If with regret. "Of course, we
men of the world don't Inquire too
narrowly into oach other's affairs; but
you know thero aro a few men whoso
lives seem open to ovcry ono nnd
wIiobo slightest notion will bear lnves
tlgatlon. I don't require to tell you
Endorby, that wo all consider you nre
one of those. In fact, your membor
ship at tho Bayard Club Is sufficient
proof. Woll, I shall not detain you
I have a little matter of business to
settle In the Strand." And lifting his
hat with elaborate politeness, ha dla-
ppearod.
Enderby know ovory word ho had
spoken had boon armed with a ven
omod tip. Dalton had hated him from
tho first time they had mat. That
hatred had becorao decpoued Into
something vlndlctlvo nnd malignant
when, through Enderby, though moro
by accident than choice, Dalton had
been dismissed from tho club, which
was sometimes mockingly called tho
'Bayard," ton account of having boon
found cheating at card?.
"Ho rocognlzod mo, of cour6o," En
derby Bald to himself. "And ho will
go to-night to Miss Lennox, nnd toll
her. Well, sho has moro than an or
dinary woman's sense of fairness. Sho
will let mo speak for myself. And
will sho bollovo him? Or will hor
honrt havo something to say on my
behalf? Cecil, Cecil!"
Ho whispered tho namo to himself
na a dovotoo might whisper tho namo
of a sacred shrine. For to Paul En
derby, to whom nil womanhood wns
sacred, Cecil Lennox was tho incarna
tion of all that was noblest, purest
nnd fairest In woman, So llttlo docs
tho simple, straightforward naturo of
a good man understand a woman.
CHAPTER III.
It was two days after tho recoptlon
at tho West End mansion of Sir Honry
Lennox, tho woll-known Queen's Coun
sel, who wns considered ono of tho
wealthiest men conncctod with tho
legal profession.
Enderby had seen Cecil Lennox but
for a few minutes, but sho had thon
been nbln to utter the words that
thrilled Enderby through as no other
words could hnvo done.
"Come to sco me on Friday. It la
not my day at homo, but I shall be
at home to you."
Paul Endorby wns thirty, was a bar
rister, and was prosaic, yet his heart
and pulses throbbed like those of a
sentimental boy of twenty as ho wa3
admlttod into the prcBcuco of Cecil
Lennox.
Sho was cortalnly n very beautiful
woman. As sho came forwnrd to greet
him, hor ten-gown of palo sea-green
and billowy Inco falling In graceful
folds ubout hor, Endorby thought that
no woman who ever lived could havo
excolled hor in beauty nnd grace. But
thero were others who might havo
thought that tho beauty of Cecil Lcn
nox of tho Boft, exquisitely tlntod
face, of tho rounded chin and throat,
tho red-lipped, smiling mouth, the
deop, chnngoful, soft, violet oyes had
something sensuous and voluptuous in
It
Enderby did not think so. Ho loved
the woman or was it tho woman ho
imagined hor to bo? and that was
enough.
Cecil let hor soft little hand Ho In
his for a moment, thon she drew him
towards tho sllk-coverod couch from
which sho had risen.
"It wns good of you to come," sho
said, In her low, caressing voice. "Wo
shall havo tea presently. I aupposo
I needn't ask you how you enjoyed
my crush? Peoplo never do onjoy
crushes. Why do wo give ihcm at
all? Oh. I often wish I had tho cour
age of my convictions, and could throw
off this yoko of social fashions nnd
conventions, and be what I should llko
best to be a simple human being,
asking to my houso only those I really
cared for, and being able to Inter
change thought and friendly kindness
with them!"
Aa a matter of fact, Miss Lonnox
would not have given up her "social
fashions and conventions" for any
thing that could havo been given hor
In exchange. But Bho was clover
enough to suit her tastes, aa well as
her conversation, to tho Individual
characters of her companions.

How I'lanU Unln Weight.
As far as Is known tho first botani
cal oxporlmont over performed was
conducted by a Dutchman. He placod
In a pot 200 pounds of dried enrth,
and In It ho planted a willow branch
which wolghed llvo pounds. Ho kept
tho whole covered up nnd dally wn
terod tho earth with rainwater. After
flvo years' growth tho willow was
again weighed and was found to havo
gained 104 pounds. Tho earth in tho
pot was dried and weighed and had lost
only two ounces. Tho experimental
1st, therefore, looked upon this oxporl
mont as supporting tho theory that
plantB required no food but water. But
he was wrong. Later It was discov
ered that much of tho Increase In
weight of plants was derived from car
bonlo ncld gas In tho air. Vegetnblo
cells contain a liquid known as "cell
sap," which 1b water holding In solu
tion various matorials which have
been taken up from without by tho
roots nnd leaves. Thus It Is in tho
living cells of tho plant that thoso
"digestive" processes are carried on
which were once bolleved to occur In
the soil.

People In tho cast who complained of
tho great heat of August should con

swarthy Indians sprawl fast asleep on
hot earth hi a patch of shado, no whlto
person in sight, not a sign of activity
anywhere, stores shut, houses bolted
nnd blinded, not n sound heard savo a
rustling of drlod sago bniBh. And thnt
is life In Yuma during a mldsunimor
aftornoon, wrlteB a correspondent on
August 10.
Tho summer thus far this year in
Yuma has been nn avorago one. From
May 14 to May 30 tho tomporaturo ev
ory afternoon ranged from 93 degrees
to 101. Thon thero was n week of com
parative coolnoss; tho mercury never
rose abovo 90. From Juno 7 to Juno
25 tho mercury vnrled from 105 to 113
degrees. Old Sol then Bottled down to
business. Tho desert sand dunes had
bocomo baked, and tho foothills woro
glowing. For six weeks tho mercury
nover was below 102, and from that it
has gone to 122 degrees twice. From
July 3 to July 20 tho avorago afternoon
temperature was 115 degrees. During
nights the mercury sunk slowly to an
average of 105 at about 4 a. m. With
tho rlBlng of each sun tho morcury
climbed up steadily until about 3
o'clock.
And tho warmest weeks of tho year
aro yot to make their records. Last
summer tho hottest day In Yuma wbb
August 26, when tho mercury touchod
127. In Soptomber thoro wero several
days when tho temperature was at 121,
and a few nights when tho ther
mometer never registered lower than
108 degrees. In 189G Yuma's red lettor
hot day occurred. It was August 16,
when oxtrn hot winds blew from off tho
tho desert. Between dawn and noon
tho mercury rose from 110 to 123, nnd
by 4 o'clock It roso to 129. Sovornl
deaths among children occurred during
tho heated spell.
Topographically Yuma Is sltuatod for
tho making of high records. As fnr as
tho eye can reach, and mllos nnd miles
farther, In any direction, thoro Is noth
ing but profound nrldlty.through which
tho Colorado drowsily meanders to the
gulf of California. From sonio points
nothing Is in sight but n vast crumpled
sen of yellow sand nnd the horizon.
Yuma is tho heart of a region of ex

canyons; a region of mirages, Gila
monsters and reptiles that thrive nmid
burning alkali wastes and deadly

Uret That Stretched Orcr Longer Toriui
Than fiovrnty Yean,
A generation is commonly rcckonod
an thlrty-thrco nnd one-third years,
but sometimes two or thrco lives will
stretch over several ordinary genera
tions. A grandmother of C. J. Monk,
a member of parliament, wns born 153
years ugo, that Is, In 1747, tho year
utter tho battlo of Cullodon, and the
very year In which Gnrrlck and Lacoy
took n lcaso of Drury Lano theater.
Gen. Francis Vinton Grecno'n grand
father was born 128 years ago, when
Napoleon wns a baby entering upon
his third year, and Sir Walter Scott
wns entering upon his second. Ho
was a year old when Watt built hla
steam onglno and tho toa wns thrown
ovcrbonrd In Boston Harbor. The
general's father, Gen. Gcorgo Scare
Grceno, died last year at an advanced
ngo. Thcrcforo tho lives of Uonoral
Georgo Sears Grceno and his father
Caleb extended for an Interval of 127
cars.nearly four ordinary generations.
A relative of tho general, Mary Ann
Groeno of Hhodo Islnnd, died n fow
years ngo at tho ago of 105, having in
hor Blnglo llfo bridged moro than threo
generations. Sir Stephen Fox, grand
father of Charles James Fox, tho dis
tinguished statesman, wns married In
1654, nnd In tho following year his
wlfo boro him a daughter, who died in
infancy. Sir Stephen marrying a sec
ond tlmo Into In lite, another daughter
wns born to him In 1727. Sho died In
1820 nt tho ago of 93 years, no fewer
thnn 170 years after tho death of hor
elder slstor! In other words, a lady
who might havo scon Queen Victoria
had a sister whom Oliver Cromwoll
might havo looked upon! Tho fact
that novonty-two years elapsed be
tween tho birth of Sir Stephen's first
nnd last daughter proves that ho must
havo been jnnrrled very early for tho
first tlmo, and that ha became n father
for tho last tlmo remarkably late In
life. Indeed, perhaps, this Is tho most
wonderful pnrt of tho story. Tho
grandfather of tho present British dcc
rotary of stnto for war.the old Marquis
of Landsdowne, who dlod In 1857 at the
ago of 90 years, told Lord John Russell
(who relates tho Incident In hts life of
tho poot Moore), thnt ho was lntlmnto
with Sir Honry Baytun, who know tho
beforo mentioned Sir Stephen Fox. As
Sir Stephen was the pngo In attendance
on Chnrles I. when ho was executed In

from tho old Scotch marrlago, which
required only public acknowledgment

tho Galveston dend, compiled from va
rious sources, but believed to bo au
thentic. Thoro wore hundreds of bod
ies burned, hurled nt sea and In tho

still in tho ruins of Galveston anil
scattered along tho beach of tho main
land nnd in tho marshes, whero thoy
woro thrown by tho water. Some of
thoso bodies hnvo been sent twenty
miles Inland nlong small wntorcourBos
by tho rtiBh of high wntors. Taking
ull things Into consideration, thero
seomfl no longor nny doubt that tho
number of dead will reach boyond tho
estimates of G.000 which has bocn made
by Mnyor Joiich, Major P. G. Lowo
and other rollnblo citizens of Galves
ton. About 1,300 refugees nrrlvod hero

than 800 remain in tho public chargo,
tho remainder of them having gone
to the homes of relatives nnd frlonds.
