"Words cannot express tho pain you
liavo given mo tonight," ho said; "but
let it pass. You aro free, and I havo
no right to reproach you. Good-byo,
and God bless you, Rose!"
'Ho kissed her hand, but sho snatched
It nwny and sprang Into tho carriage.
Sho felt annoyed and out of temper.
When sho reached home, sho went up
Into her own room and stood beforo
the glnss. It was a very fair face that
sho gazed at ho had often praised It,
and sho know her power well.
"And ho thinks I nm going to beg
and pray for forgiveness, does ho?"
Hho said, tossing hor head wilfully.
"Wo shall see, after all, what crlmo I
havo committed, that I need to trcm
blo and shrink from his oyc. Tomor
row I will not tomorrow I will bIiow
him that If he chooses to play tho part
of a tyrant. I do not Intend to tako
that of a serf. Ho had better fetter mo
at onco."
in that mood sho wont to bed.
But ahl wo should bo very careful
how wo part with thoso wo lovo, even
though they only leavo us for a few
Jiours. Do they always como back?
Of If they do como, do we always know
Just how we shall meet them? It may
bo as utter strangers, for aught wo
can say. I have known thoso who
havo loved each other dearly as they
said good-byo, and yot within throo
months thoy stood faco to face as cold
ly as If they had novor met.
But tho caso of poor Roso was cvon
worso than this, for Mr. Vero never
came again.
Sho had preserved a discreet sllenco
as to this episode In her history on
hor return home. No ono had ever
heard hor mention Mr. Vero's name
not ono of hor own family over know
that such a person was In exlstonco.
Hor woman's prldo enmo to her aid.
Sho learned to Uvo without him to
bo happy without him; yot ho was not
forgotten.
And on this morning, when sho sat
In hor own room.thlnklng of tho past,
sho had a letter In her hand from him.
It had been forwardod with others
trom Mecklenburgh Square. Tho slm
llo wordB set hor heart beating, so that
sho could scarcely soo:
"Roso I was too hasty and harsh
wl'cii you long ago. Time has taught
mo that there Is nothing ko precious
as your love. If I havo lost It, I am
coming homo to try and gain It again.
God grant I may not bo too late.
"Ever yours,
"Stanloy Vore."
Coming homo, and to win hero? But
how, and when, and where?
CHAPTER XIV.
When and whero, indeed? Sho could
not hopo for a meotlng so romantic a3
that of hor two couslr.8 had been; and
yet, In what other way could hor lovr
seek her presonco?
For you must bear In mind that tho
parent birds had no idea that their
scarcely fledged nestling had tried hor
wings in so bold a flight. Roso in
love! Rose, who had scarcely given
up playing with her doll! Tho thing
was simply absurd!
So the young lady sat alone In hor
room, and stared at tho lottor, and
wondered what on oarth sho should
do, and wished sho had a confldanto
who would glvo hor some advlco as to
tho best way of extricating herself
from tho dilemma. It would not do
to speak to hor mother, and Catharlno
would only laugh at her. At last Bho
thought of Marjorlo, who had a ro
manco of her own, and thereby would
know how to sympathlzo with another.
Sho went.
Sho found tho lady alono in the turret-chamber.
Charles was smoking a
cigar, in foar and trembling, in ono of
tho empty attics, and at tho samo tlmo
getting a heath of fresh air. So Roso
had hor cousin all to horsolf, and told
her talo without much loss of time.
Marjorlo listened silently.
"Well," sho said, when Roso had
finished, "tho old fairy talo is truo.
Tho Princess Porfect may bo shut up
in tho highest and most imprcgnablo
"s- of towers, and guarded by tho fiercest
of dragons, yet In ono way and another
Princo Imperfect will contlnuo to get
up the Btalrs, and fall at hor feet all
tho samo. It Is ccurlous, and, at tho
samo tlmo, very edifying."
"But I am not Princess Porfect,"
said Roso.
"Truo."
"Wor was I shut up in a tower."
"If you had boon it would not have
mattered. But novor mind that do
you want to boo tho Princo?"
"Ah, yes.'
"That Is frank and to tho purpose.
Why did you lot hlra go?'
"Ho thought I filrtcd, my dear," said
Roso, firmly.
"Oh, indeed," replied Marjorle, with
a llttlo oough. "Men do tako queor
fancies into their hoads now and then."
"Very."
"Howover, I will do all I can to help
you though, of courso, you must
promlso to bo vory good, and never,
undor any consideration, to flirt
.1 again."
r "I'll promise."
"Then tho boat way Is for you to
como to us."
."Whore?"
"I don't know I'll make Charles
tako a houso in town. Now that wo.
liT scare! your poor papa to death, I
I
supposo that wo aro not wanted any
longer here."
"Poor papal"
"Yes! but It will do him good in tho
end. Is ho up yet?"
"No ;ho has had somo gruel In bed."
"May It mako him penitent and moro
Inclined to obey tho orders of his su
perior ofllcer, your good mamma.
Whero would you llko us to pitch our
tent In town, Rose?"
"Oh, somewhere near Mecklenburgh
Square."
"In It, If you llko. Charley Is rich,
and can Mvo whero ho pleases, thank
goodness. Then that Is settled?"
"Yes."
"And you will como to us?"
"With pleasure."
"When?"
"As soon as wo can get him back to
town."
"And tho preux chevalier? By tho
way, what Is his name?"
"Vero."
"Of what county.
Roso colored.
"Really I don't know."
"But whoro do his family reside?"
"I cannot tell you."
Marjorlo elevated her eyebrows.
"Do you know nothing of him,
then?"
"Vory llttlo. But General Grantham,
with whom I was staying nt tho tlmo,
Introduced him as tho son of ono of
his oldest friends. And ho moved In
tho best society."
"Well, time will show. At all events,
wo can soon find out all about him if
wo sot to work tho right way."
"Yo8," said Roso; and leaning her
chin upon her hand, sho fixed her eyes
upon tho glaring coals, and fell to mus
ing about tho lovor of whom sho know
so llttlo.
Tho door opened, and Mrs. Cowloy
entered, looking worried and per
plexed. "I don't know what to do!" sho ex
claimed. "What Is tho matter, aunt?" asked
Marjorle.
"I wish wo hadn't played that fool's
trick last night.
"Why?" Is papa worse?" asked
Rose, looking up.
"No; I can't say that ho Is really 111;
but ho seems so nervous and fright
ened. If tho door creaks, ho Jumps;
and I know what that feeling 1b so
well. I had it all tho tlmo when wo
first camo to this horrible house."
"Oh, ho will got over that!"
"Yes; but, after all, I begin to think
it was not right to frighten him so
A great, strong man does not faint for
nothing. I can't think how I camo to
lot you do It."
"But aa it is done, lot us try to ro
pair tho mischief, if any there bo. Get
him up, and send him down to tho vil
lago, shopping. Ho will como homo
as blltho as a lark."
"That Is tho worst of it!"
"What?"
"I can't got him up."
"What do you mean?"
'Ho won't move. He says tho wholo
houso is full of ghosts, and that he
means to stay whero ho can't seo any
moro; and oddly enough, I hoard him
Just now muttering to himself that ho
wished Charles was here."
"My husband?"
"Yes."
"Then what can bo easier than to
tell him that his wish Is granted."
"And that Charles Is hero?"
"Yes."
"My dear child, that would do vory
woll with somo men, but not with Mr.
Cowloy. Ho Is as sharp as a ncedlo;
and if he found out that Charles had
been In tho houso all night, ho would
guess at onco whoro tho ghost of tho
cablnot como from. And if he onco
found that out, I'm suro I should havo
a separate maintenance offered to
nay, forced upon mo tomorrow."
"Oh, no; not so bad bb that," was
tho choorful reply. "I will manage It
so that ho need novor know wo havo
been hero before. Roso, you havo al
ready lent mo half your wardrobo! glvo
mo tho other half your out-door por
tion. Ho will not rccognlzo your hat
and cloak, I supposo?"
"No."
"Then bring thom, and send Charles
to mo."
Half an hour later, Mr. and Mrs
Charles Cowloy left tho houso on foot,
and walked away toward Banloy. And
as Mr. Cowloy, senior, was partaking
of tea and toast at six p. m. In tho
seclusion of his own chamber, a fly
drove up to tho door and a knock was
given that nearly Bhook tho houso
down.
Mr. Cowloy dropped tho cup and
saucer, and split tho tea all ovor tho
bed.
"Good gracious! what can it bo?"
"I will go and soo, my dear. LIo
down and composo yoursolf."
Mrs. Cowloy wont, nnd returned with
a woll-got-up fnco of astonishment.
"Well, what Is it?" crlod Mr. Cow
ley.
"Such a wonderful thing."
"Out with It!"
"Tho most extraordinary "
"But what?"
"In fact, I think tho strangest clr
cumstanco I over heard of in my life."
"Confound it, ma'am!" bawlod out
hor husband. "Can't you say what It
Is, and not keep mo lying horo In
bath of lukowarm toa?"
'. "Well, Mr. Cowley, you wrt say
Ing yon wished yerr Mflhow Chnrltw
was hero."
"So I do. I'd dig tho wholo placo
up If I hid him to back me, and novor
think of feeling frightened."
"Well, Chnrlcs Is hero."
"Nonsense!"
"I assure you ho Is. He has Just
returned from Australia, and ho camo
to tho door In tho Banley fly. Ho has
iieon to our town houso, and Mrs. Gray
directed him horo. And his wlfo Is
with him."
"Married?"
"Yes-to an English girl, though."
"If ho had married a Now Zealand-
cr, ta'joocd from hend to foot, I should
not enre. Zounds! glvo mo my cloMios,
Mrs. C! This news is worth ten
pounds, nt tho least. We'll rout tho
ghosts out now, or my name Is not
Cowloy."
"Yes, dear," replied his bettor half,
meekly, as she helped him to dross.
They wont down to tho drawing-
room together. No moro ghosts now
no suggestion of ghosts ovon. A
bright flro blazed upon tho hearth
four cumllca lit tho table, which was
laid for tea. Roso and Catharlno, In
pretty ovenlng dresses, ran forward to
meet their father as Innocently as If
they had never dreamed of scaring
him half out of his senses. But ho
pushed by thom unceremoniously, and
rushed up to tho hearth, whoro Charles
Cowley was Btandlng, llko a truo Brit
on, with his back to tho flro.
"My dear follow!" said tho banker,
shaking him by both hands. "You aro
as wolcomo as the flowers In May!"
"Why, so I hear," replied tho
nephew demurely. "You havo beon
getting yoursolf Into a bit of a scrapo,
I Imagine, and want mo to help you
out. Oh, you naughty old boy! But
let mo Introduce you to my wlfo."
CHAPTER XV.
Mr. Cowloy shook hands with Mar
jorle decided, after his first glanco nt
hor, that sho was a nlco sort of a girl,
nnd then dismissed her from his mind
entirely. Ho was burning for nn tin
Interrupted ten minutes' conversation
with his ncphow, alone, that he might
relato the wonderful things that had
befallen him. Kow men could boast
of having seen thrco roal ghosts, ono
after another! And Marjorle, llko the
other women, was sadly In tho way
Just then.
However, there was no help for It.
Tea was waiting, and Mr. Cowloy,
Junior, fell to work upon tho rnufnnj,
nnd ham, and tongue, like a man who
had fasted all tho way from Australia,
When tho cloth was taken away, his
undo breathed freely again. Tho In
dies sat gosslpplng together beforo tho
fire. Tho worthy bankor rose, nudgod
Charles in tho side, and whispered,
"Como with mo a moment." Charles
followed him from the room, merely
pausing at tho door to glvo a nod and
a wink, expressive of great onjoytnont,
to tho group ho left bohlnd.
Mr. Cowley solzed his nophow by
tho arm when they stood In tho hall,
and dragged him up tho stairs. A
lamp was burning In tho turrct-cham-bor
a flro blazing on tho hearth. Seo-
lng this, as ho opened tho door, Mr,
Cowley started back with a look ol
oxtremo surprise.
"Why, those born fools cannot think
of putting you here to Bleop!" he
ejaculated.
"Why not?" asked Charles, looking
extremely innocent.
"Why not? Tho Jados! I'll hava
no tricks played off on peoplo undor
my roof. I know It is tho fashion to
put tho guests in tho haunted room,
to seo if thoro really is a ghost thero;
but, by Georgo! wo want no such testa

At the otllco of tho commissioner of
Indian affairs a fow days ago contracts
wero lot to cattlemen for tho renting
of tho pasturo lands of tho Osago In
dians in Oklahoma. Thcso Indians
havo 800,000 ncrcs of pasturo lands, of
which C00.000 acres wero rontcd. This
will add to tho annual Incomo of tho
trlbo about $120,000, says tho Washing
ton Post. "And nlrcady," said Captain
A. C. Tonncr, assistant commissioner
of Indian affairs, yesterday, "tho
Osago Indians aro tho richest peoplo
in tho world. Sovcral years ago tho
lands of tho Osages In Kansas woro
Bold, tho salo realizing $8,000,000. This
money was placed in tho treasury of
tho United States, aud from It tho
Osage Indians derive nn nnnual In
como of $400,000. In addition to this
they own 1,570,195 acres of land, which
is fairly worth $5 an aero, making tho
valuo of tholr land holdings 17,850,875.
Thoro aro 1,072 Indians in tho tribe,
counting men, womon nnd chlldron.
Thoy all share allko In tho tribal
wealth, and when a child Is born it
becomes a Joint proporty ownor with
all tho othar Indians in tho trlbo. Thq

approximately JGOO.000, a por capita

thoy ralso all tholr foodstuffs and con

The realty holdings of tho trlbo havo
a por capita valuation of $3,087, or, for
a family of ton, $39,870. Thoro Is no

NEW PLATE FOR CAMERAS.
Invention That Will I'rore a Iloon to
Amateur 1'liotocrapber.
Tho difficulties involved In tho man
ipulation of a long celluloid film havo
prevented tho oxtonsivo uso of cinema
tographic apparatus by amateur pho
tographers. To avoid this objoctlon
Leo Kamrn has invented a camera
tho kammatograph in which aclrcular
glass plato takes tho placo of tho cellu
loid film. Tho plato can bo mado to
rotate rapidly by means of a multiply
ing gear, and nt tho samo tlmo It trav
els laterally. A small Ions forms nn
Imago upon the, plato, and when tho
plato Is put In motion thoso Images
aro multiplied into a sorlcs of pictures
arranged in a spiral. Tho plato Is, of
course, dovolopcd precisely in tho
samo way as nn ordinary ncgatlvo, nnd
a positive Is thon tulcon from it. To
display the scries of pictures It is only
necessary to placo the posltlvo in tho
camora and to arrange tho camora bo
that tho beam from a lantorn closo to It
can pass through tho lonB. Tho plato
1b thon rotated as boforo, and tho suc
cession of tho pictures projocted upon
tho screen reproduces tho original
movements. About COO pictures can bo
photographed during tho motion of a
slnglo plato at a rato of about twolvo
or fourteen a second. Tho camora 1b
very compact, and both aB rogards
price and adaptability 1b within tho
roach of any photographer who wishes
to secure pictures of rapidly changing
scones and moving objects. Tho small
slzo of tho pictures will not permit of
projection upon a largo screen, but tho
views can be shown largo enough for
ordinary purposes. Chicago Chron
