A Passive Crime.
HY "TilK DUCHKHS."
CHAPTER IX—CONTINUED.
But she does not speak. Twice
her lips move as though she would
unwillingly have given voice to
some thought, but no articulate
sound escapes her. Presently she
lifts her sad eyes to his as if in mute
reproach, and then two tears gather
within them slowly, and as slowly
fall one by one down her pale cheeks.
“Dick, come here,” says Mrs.
Neville, nervously, her voice trem
bling.
He obeys her.
Pressing Maud’s cold hands he
whispers hurriedly, “I shall wait
forever.”
And then goes back to Mimi's
side.
•■If you mean to defy me in this
matter.” says Pen ruddock, who has
overheard him, “you can take the
consequences on your own head,
and you know very well what
those consequences will be. Hence
forth you and I shall, be strangers,
and I will do my best to forget that
I ever had a son. But I warn you
that such mad marriages bring only
grief and disgrace in their train.”
“There shall be neither grief nor
disgrace through me,” says Maud,
faintly.
She is still standing, and has her
hand on the back of her chair as
mougn to support Herself.
••It is the first time,” goes on
Penrudilock, remorselessly. not
heeding the heart-broken interrup
tion, “that a blot or stain has fallen
on our house or name!”
“Silence, sir,” cries Dick, furiously
turning upon him; but no more can
be said on either side, for at that
instant the attention of all is turned
upon the door, just inside which,
upon the threshold, Esther stands,
with one arm extended, as if she
would demand silence. There is
something in her whole attitude and
demeanor that is remarkably strik
ing, and which engenders fear and
expectation in every breast. The
looks of all are fixed on her as she
comes slowly up the room, her tall,
majestic figure clothed in black, and
drawn up to its full height.
Her manner is expressive of mys
tery and long-suppressed excite
ment. Of all present in the room,
Mrs. Neville alone possesses a clue to
her thoughts. Silently and slowly
she advances until she has reached
l’enruddock. Here she comes to a
standstill, and confronts him with
gleaming eyes and parted lips.
“No blot, no stain upon your
house or name? You dare say that!
Have you lost all memory of the
past? Does your conscience never
speak?” she repeats, mockingly,
“is murder no crime? Have a care,
Penruddock! And answer me, if you
dare, this question—Where is the
child Hilda?”
Penruddock starts hack, his face
growing livid. Yet only for an in
stant does he lose his self-control:
rallying by a mighty effort, he says,
glaring savagely at Esther, “This
woman, this fanatic lives, but to tor
ment me! Eeavo the room, I com
mand you. Y'our idle ravings have
nothing whatever to do with the
subject we are now discussing. lie
gone at once, or I will force you
lienco!”
Esther pays not the slightest heed
to that, but pointing toward the pic
ture, and gating sternly on Pen
ruddock, says, “See where her
mother looks down upon you! l)o
not her eyes haunt you? Where is
the little one, the little heiress of
Penruddock, who stood so fatally in
your way to her house aud acres?
Answer! where is she?”
••She is dead—drowned, as all the
world knows!” says Penruddock
gioomily, answering her against his
will, as if in somewise compelled
to it.
“It is false!” cries Esther trium
phantly. “She is not dead! She
lives! she is here to claim her own!
Behold her, villain, and tremble!”
At this moment Mrs. Neville turns
up to their fullest height the two
lamps that stand beneath Mrs. Pen
ruddock's picture, and Esther, hold,
ing out her hand to Maud, says in
I a loud tone. ‘Hilda Penruddock,
! come forward!”
j Obeying the gesture.not the words,
! which as yet she fails to understand,
| Maud comes slowly forward until
she appears in the full glare of the
lamps, and right beneath her moth
er's portrait. Standing thus, silent
and half bewiidered, she is so ex
actly iike the beautiful painting
above her, as to call forth an ex
clamation from Dick. Mrs. Penrud
dock is dressed in a cream-colored
satin: the girl is attired in cashmere
Hm same shade, trimmed ex
quisitely with old gold and soma
costly lace. It would bo difficult,in
deed, an impossible matter to decide '
which is tho loveliest, tho dead j
mother or the living daughter.
As the extraordinary likeness
dawns upon Penruddoek, ho is com
pletely overpowered, turns uside his '
head and groans aloud. Above even |
the startling resemblance to her
mother he sees in the grown girl tho
features of tho little girl so cruelly,
though passively, done to death. |
Again the wholo terrible scene in '
the cottage garden Hashes before !
him; again he watches with cold '
persistency, until the tiny heiress j
meets, as he supposes then, and lias I
until now believed, with her death. '
Ho throws up his hands as if to fling j
from him a hateful vision, and turns
fiercely upon Esther
"It is a lie!" he exclaims loudly—
"a cleverly-concocted scheme; but |
it shall not avail you much. It is an '
old story. Accidental likenesses
I have been tried before this, but an
I imposture always comes to the
j light."
! "Always! Yes. there you are
j right,” returns Esther with deep
! meaning.
j Maud, white as an early snow
j arop, is clinging to Mrs. Seville,
i who has her arm around her. Dick,
i at a little distance, is listening with
\ intense excitement, to tho strange
revelation now being made.
“Who ever saw tho child again?”
says Penruddock. "She was washed
out to sea. All inquiries were
made. No stone left un
turned to discover her; but it
was too late. There was no ono.not a
living being, in sight when it oc
curred; no one saw tho fatal acci
dent.”
"There you are mistaken. Two
saw it,” says Esther, solemnly. "You
and I.”
"1 was not present, saw nothing
of it!” says Penruddock. hoarsely.
The ground seems slipping from
beneath his feet. His parched lips
seem barely able to form his words,
and with ditliculty he supports him
self.
"You were present!” says the wo
man relentlessly. “You stood inside
tho library window, and I saw you
there, crouched as 1 was in the
bushes at the other side of tho
river!”
in the bushes?” stammers Penrud
dock.
"Yes; 1 had come to get a glimpse
of my darling at her play, and
watched you as with greedy eyes,
you waited till the child crept
nearer anil nearer to her death.
Fearful now is the expression on
the countenance of the wretched
man.
••Without a word of warning, with
out one attempt to save the innocent
life left to your charge by a dying
brother, you looked with a cruel
longing to see her perish!”
“ ’Tis false!” Penruddock with
great difficulty contrives to say.
••Though you never touched her,
though the crime was a passive one,
there was murder in your heart that
day, as surely as you are shivering
here before us all:”
“it is all a fabrication!” says Pen
ruddock feebly, wiping his forehead.
Then ho glances, in a stealthy
fashion, at his son — the boy for
whom this horrible thing has been
committed—to see if there be con
demnation in his looks.
••Dick, do not believe it!” he says
in a tone of honest agony.
He looks so old, so broken that
Dick is touched, and going up to
him, places his arm around his
nock.
••1 believe nothing against you,
father,” he says, tenderly; “be sure
of that. But pray control yourself,
and let Esther tell lior story.”
••When the deed was done r.nd the
fatal plunge taken, you rushed to
the water’s edge,” goes on Esther,
who declines to address anyone but
i Penruddock, gloating over the fact
1 that he plainly cowers beneath he,*
glance. “But even then at the last
; moment, a strong desire to save did
I not possess you. Had you pursued
; your search in the bend in the river,
j hidden by the drooping aiders, you
| would have seen the little figure
; floating onward whilst battling
. feebly with the stream. You
! would have seen mo running along
j the bank in wild pursuit; and you
! would havo seen, too, the poor child
| drawn from the water by Gilbert
| Saumarez. ”
“Gilbert Saumarez! Ho?” exclaims
! Dick, in the utmost surprise.
“Yes; he was a guest at the viear
! age at that time, as you, Penrud
I dock, may remember. But he shall
' himself tell his own story.”
! She beckons with her hand, and
: Saumarez, who has plainly been
! waiting in the ante-room, on reeeiv
! ing that signal, comes up to them.
“Captain Saumarez, tell us all you
; can of this strange tale,” entreats
i Mrs. Neville with faltering accents.
••I have very little to tell; but it’s
all quite true,” says Saumarez. after
, a swift glance at Maud’s pale face.
“I was fishing lower down upon
the river, on that day, the 14th of
• July. when, looking up, f suddenly
saw a little child struggling in the
; water, and a woman—that woman
I there.’’pointing to Esther—“running
! along the bank. I jumped in. pulled
1 tne child out of the river, and saw
! that it was Hilda Peuruddock, whom
I knew well. Only that verv morn
ing I had been playing with her up
at the cottage. 1 restored her to
this woman, who represented her
self to mo as the child's nurse, aud
, thought no moro about it. I should
of course have mentioned it in con
versation at the vicarage if 1 had
had time: but unfortunately, I had
made up my mind to leave that day,
and finding on looking at my watch
that I should barely catch the up
train. I rushed home, seized my :
things, bade ray friends farewell,
and within an hour was steaming up !
to town. Four days afterward I
started for India, where, as you ail
know very well, I remained for
years.”
••But you know Maud—you recog
nized her in town!” asks tMrs. Nev
ille, in groat agitation.
A suspicion of shame crosses
Snumurez's face, darkening it for a
moment.
"Yes, last year," unwillingly. "I
called horo ono day, and Ksther
passed through the hull ns lontored.
I know her at once, and asked for
the child. She was, I think, about
to deny all kuowlodge of her, when
Miss—Miss Pouruddoek, with whom
I was not acquainted at that time,
came out of sorao room, and looking
me full in the face for nu instant,
passed on. Her wonderful likeness
to her mother, who was wall known
to mo, struck me at once. I had
heard o.’ the adoption hy Mrs. Nev
illo of some strangely pretty child,
and. as if by inspiration, the truth
occurred to me. I accused Ksthor
of it, and she at once, taken off her
guard, confessed all."
“Then why did you not immedi
ately speak?” demands Dick, coolly.
“It was no business of mine,” re
sponds the other shrugging his
shoulders.
"But, surely, you might have
spoken,” Bays Dick; "and it seems
remarkable that you did not.”
"No doubt, I should, somotimo or
other, havo mentioned tho circum
stance, only that the woman had im
plored me to keep silence; suying
that she had waited for yours to have
rovongo on some one; and 1 really
thought it a pity to spoil the plan
ning and plotting that had lasted for
so long.’’
“Yet you made love to my ntoco,
Knowing all tlmt you did, says Mrs.
Neville, gravely.
••In that matter, madam, I ac
knowledge, I erred,’’ says Saumaroz,
lightly, though he bitos his lip. “Hut
all is fair in love and war. I wooed
her as a girl over whom a cloud
rested, knowing her in my heart to
bo an heiress, and of irreproachable
birth. Nay. hour the exact truth,”
ho says with a somewhat reckless
laugh. “I am not so rich as tho
world deems me; and thought if I
could win Miss Neville, I might af
terward prove her to bo Miss I’ourud
dock, and so secure her fortuno. Hut
1 failed. At first I thought only of
tho monoy to which sho was entitled;
but now, always, I shall think thut,
were sho pennilless and unknown,
the man who gains her love will be
richer than any soul on earth. You
oetievo me, i am sure:' ho adds,
turning abruptly and most unex
pectedly, to Hilda.
••Yes; 1 believe, you,” she, says,
earnestly: and thon—very swoetly,
struck by the extreme melancholy of
his expression—she comes u fow
steps nearer to him and, holds
out her hand. Ho takes it, presses
his lips to It, hastily but fervently,
and without another word quits the
room.
“It is, I plainly see. an unneces
sary question; but for all that, I will
ask if you have quite made up your
mind that this ridiculous story is
true?” demands Penruddock, angrily,
addressing his son. upon whoso coun
tenance no disbelief can be read.
“Quite:” says Dick, readily, who
has forgotten to think of anything
beyond the fact that the stigma at
tached to Hilda’s birth has been re
moved.
“Then you acknowledge her?”
“As my cousin? Yes, certainly."
“Then, as certainly, you are a beg
gar!” says Penruddock, with a harsh
laugh.
The young man starts as if shot,
and puts his hand to his forehead.
For the first time he realizes what
all this may mean to him. Uy what
right now shall he speak of love to
the woman who is all in all to him,
whose image occupies his heart.'
Their positions are now reversed;
she is the possessor of land and for
tune; ho is now the lonely outcast.

Mr. and Mrs. (lumby live out of
town, which makes it incumbent on
Mr. Gumby, when it is necessary to
secure a new cook, to go to the
agency in town himself and arrange
for one that he thinks may answer
the purpose. It is nothing to the
discredit of Mr. Gumby to say that
his visits to the agency have been
somewhat frequent, says Harper’s
Magazine, for a good cook who will
stay in the country is almost an un
known quantity.
One evening not long since, Mr.
Gumby having paid his periodical
visit to the agency, Mrs. Gumby was
dumbfounded, on entering the
kitchen, to find three dignified
Bridgets sitting there in a row.
Hastily going into the library, where
Mr. Gumby was seated, she ex
claimed: “Henry, what in the world
do you mean by getting three cooks?”
“1 thought it was the best thing to
do.” replied her husband. “You see,
1 shall be so busy next week that 1
won't have time to get any.”

TO AID EMPLOYES.
A NEW SCHEME OP THE W. L,
DOUGLAS SHOE CO.
Win Furnish Their Help With Medlcnl
Attendance.
William L. Douglas, the president of the !
world-fumed V. L. Douglas Shoo Co., has I
always had a ureal personal interest in the i
army of men and women who inhabit Illogical !
factory at Montello during the working hours j
or l he day. and who make the greatly udver- j
Used $il shoe. 1
He is a great believer in the idea that inanu- I
faeturers should have this personal interest in .
the condition of their employes, and foi ls that
if tlie idea is carried out to the extent that Is 1
possible, that it will result ultimately in the I
breaking down of the barriers which have boon
built up between employers and those whom
they employ, as it would convince the work
ingmen that their employers were not their
enemies, as some of them seem to think now.
but their friends, with a desire to do ull for
them that was in their power.
Having strong feelings upon this point, it Is
only natural that Mr. Douglas should give the
matter some study und acquaint himself with
the result of the trials of similar plans in oilier
places. He is satlstled that the scheme ho has
originated is a good one, und he has now put it
to practical test.
He has handed to every person in ills employ
-and they form a small army a curd which
will enable them to secure free medical attend- (
a nee. \
This is a practical illustration of Mr. Douglas'
idea, and will surely he appreciated by the
hundreds who receive the cards.
The plan is a good one.
Speaking of the W. L. Douglas Shoe Co. It |
may be said thut their factory is the only one j
in Brockton where the principle of arbitration !
is recognized und has full sway. Mr. Douglas
is a firm believer In the principle und 1ms been
since the establishment of the stale board of
arbitration. He claims that labor troubles
would not be as frequent as they are if manu
facturers and help would recognize this great
principle and adopt it. •

Deafness Can Mot be Cured
by local applications, as they can nut reach
the diseased portion of the car. There Is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafuoss is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect, hearing, and
when it Is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can lie
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
mal condition, bearing will lie destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for

of l)r. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. These are
made from the purest, most refined and
concentrated vegetable extracts, and from,
forty - two to forty ■ four are contained itu
each vial, which is sold at the sume price
as the cheaper made and more ordinary
pills found in the market. In curative vir
tues, there is no comparison to be made be
tween them and the ordinarv pills, as any
one may easily learn by sending for a free
sample, (four to seven doses) of the Pel
lets, which will be sent on receipt of name
and address on a postal card.
QNCG USED THEY ABE ALWAYS IN FAVOR.
The Pellets cure biliousness, sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or
constipation, sour stomach, loss of appetite,
coated tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
windy bclchings, “ heart burn, ” pain and'
distress after eating, and kindred derange
ments of the liver, stomach and bowels.
Put up in glass vials, therefore nlwayn
fresh and reliable. One little “Pellet"
is a laxative, two are mildly cathartic.
As a “dinner pill,’’ to promote digestion,,
take one each day after dinner. To relieve
distress from over eating, they are un
equaled. They are tiny, sugar coated
granules; any child will readily take them.
Accept no substitute that may be recom
mended to be “just as good." It marie
better for the dealer, because of paying him
a better profit, but he is not the one who
needs help. Address for free sample,
