Irv the Fowler’s Snared Bv M. B. MAN WELL 1 CHAPTKR V.—(Continued.) "Ye*,” (Jervis rpoke. with a certain amount of stiffness. He had undoubt edly sought hie young wife and won her for her wealth; but. apart from that fact, he was determined to make her a loyal and devoted husband. Al ready it hurt him that money and the sacred name of wife should he roughly bracketed together. "And did you know my wife, then, as Miss Falrweather?" Gervis asked, after a silence, while the two stood and surveyed the limitless expanse of white waate around them, with its boundaries of forest-covered, bear-in fested hills. “No; l never saw her until last night in the car. She Is very young, and seems to be a high-strung nature. Ts • hat so?” Paul waited for an an swer. “1 think she is." Gervis slightly hesitated. In truth, though he would not have confessed It, Gladdy’s nature was as yet an unknown country to him. - “Very imaginative, and given to al ternate fits of depression and gaiety?” Paul went on. Then he hastily added: "T ask your pardon. You see, it Is part of my trade to anaylze human charac ter. I am Always doing It—sometimes unconsciously. 1 dare say you think me an lil-condltlcned Goth, and I hard ly venture to request an Introduction to Mrs. Templeton." Paul Ansdell turned hie face toward Gervls, and there was a new expres sion in it The old sneer had died out. or had heen smoothed carefully away. His dark, deep eyes looked straight into the Englishman's face, and there was a certain wistfulness in them. “I hare made up thy mind already about you—we all have,” quickly said honest Oervis, holding out his hand in - all simplicity to the other. “We owe our lives to you, and each one of us woukl esteem It an honor to call you friend.” * "There was a hearty British ring In the wordB that Bpoke for their genu ineness. “Yon are very good.” quietly observ ed the scientist But the sneer had come into his eyes once more, and he turned the conversation abruptly to thb situation in which the trainful of human beings found themselves. “If you had not been in such a hurry to get back to England I could have shown you some pretty sport yonder.” He pointed to the rocky fastnesses in the distance. The falling snow had stopped, and overhead was a brilliant blue. A stiff wind had got up, bowl ing and swirling the snow Into deep drifts. “Bears, I suppose?” said Oervis. “Just what I should have liked* If— well, under other circumstances. I dare say you could tell one some yarns •about the grizzlies yonder?” Paul Andsell nodded brleflly, and the two men turned to retrace their Bteps to the little prairie station. “Do you live in Montreal, then? Ib It your home?” “I have no home,” was the brief re joinder. *1 suppose I am what you call a cosmopolitan—one who makes a nest In every one of the world’s great cities. But here we are back at the prairie station. The weather's clear ing. ao 1 suppose our people will start on their way." In the station and round the cars there was a stir of excitement, and people were getting aboard the train. There is my wife! She is standing at the window of the car!" Oervis caught sight of a little figure in a pale green and gold brocade tea gown, trimmed with yellow lace. It was Gladdy. and her small pink and white face, with Its pointed chin, was now bent toward them as she gaz ed downward at the two men. She was waving a little white hand in welcome to her husband; but when she caught sight of his companion her face blnnched, and she shrank back from the window, at which Paul Ans dell frowned at once. Two minutes .later, however, he was bowing before her as.-Oervis Introduced him. j “We bad a Jolly good tramp. Glad ly, "Mr. Ansdell and I, over the hard snow. It has made me as hungry as possible. And, if it had not been for your small ladyship, I shouldn’t have come back. I’d have gone after the grizzlies in the mountain, yonder; but J warn you that next year I shall come hack to pot a bear or two, and leave you at Tempie-Dene." Gervls laid a kindly hand on the slight little shoul der. Gladdy looked up timidly, and, to b6r surprise, Mr. Andsell had' taken out a pocketbook crammed with snap shots, which he proceeded to show and explain to Gervls, taking no fur ther notice of her. If the stranger wished to restore the young bride's confidence, he could not have devised a better mode of do ing so. Before the end of the day Gladdy was herself again, gay and lightheart ed. She and her husband and Paul Andsell were tho merriest, friendliest trio on hoard the cars speeding through the snow over the vast Cana dian Pacific railway. And despite all their forebodings of evil, the train made a safe and speedy trip to its destination. CHAPTER VI. Nothing builds up a friendship be tween gum and man like being thrown together In untoward circumstances. Before their Journey ended at Mon-* treat, Paul Andsell had become almost Intimate with the Templetons. Oladdy's strange shrinking and ter ror of the scientist had entirely worn off, simply because he had ceased to bestow the faintest attention to her dainty person. His eyes never by any chance rested upon her. “I might be a cow or wax doll for all the notice your fine philosopher gives to me!" the girl-bride said. "Oh, well, you can’t expect to have dry-as-dust scientific fellows In your train, my dear,” said (Jervis mildly. "You must be content with ordinary men, such as your humble servant, for slaves. I don’t suppose Andsell, poor old chap, knows a pretty face from a plain one.” “I’m not so sure about that,” skep tically said the bride. “Why, I should not be surprised If he has a wife of his own here In Montreal!” "Not he,” carelessly said Gervls. "He’s a woman-hater, ^1 should im agine. His bride Is science, to which he seems to have given himself up body and soul. You should see his diggings, Gladdy! Never saw such a collection of weird and extraordinary Inventions In my life. He took me there last evening, and you don’t see me going again to such a creepy place. Why, he has got his coffin, all spick and span and ready for occupation, In one corner, and in the hall, Instead of a hatstand, he has actually got a skele ton, braced up with iron, on the arms of which the crazy old chap hangs his hat. There, my dear, I ought not to have told you that!” Oladdy baa gone quite white. “Look here, I am going to take you to the ice carnival tonight, and tomor row we start for old England. And— did I tell you, Oladdy? Andsell has suddenly made up his mind to go with us. There’s something—some elixir— to be got only in London from some old wizard of an east end chemist, and Andsell must have it to complete some marvelous scientific invention he means to patent. So I’ve asked him down to Temple-Dene to spend Christ mas. We owe him some little atten tion for all he did for us that awful night of the fire.” That evening, however, Oervls Tem pleton went to the ice carnival alone. Oladdy, when quite ready to start out with him, was seized with an unac countable chill and trembling. “You’ve taken cold,” said Gervis practically, “that's what it is. Now, you Just stay quietly at home and cos set yourself up, or we shall have to remain behind tomorrow.” Oladdy, thankful enough of the rest and quiet, lay back in a low chair in the private sitting room the Temple tons had secured. Her eyes were hid den under their soft, white lids; but Oladdy was not asleep. Strange visions and stranger thoughts were whirling through her brain; and her small hands lay limply in her lap, their wax en whiteness Intensified by the violet satin of her evening gown. It was not of her own simple past, nor yet of the wonderful happiness that had come to her so lately that Oladdy was dreaming. Instead, dark, fantastic shapes and visions came and went, succeeded by grim forebodings. Never a strong girl, Oladdy, since the night of the fire in the snow shed, had drooped strangely. It was as if the springs of life within her were broken. The shock might or might not have done the mischief; but it was there nevertheless. As she lay back with closed eyes and whitened cheeks there was a distinct change on the round young face. So thought somebody who had come, stepping softly over the thick, rich car pet. close to the little figure reclining in the low chair—so softly that Olad dy did not open her blue eyes. Indeed, the white lids closed down tightly over them, perhaps because a hand with long, thin fingers was waving slowly to and fro in front of them. In a few seconds Gladdy was in a deep, motionless sleep, and standing looking down upon her out of his dark, unfathomable eyes, was Paul Andsell, who, on hearing from the black waiter that Mr. Templeton had gone out to the ice carnival, stepped upstairs to pay his respects to Mrs. Templeton. Bending close down until his lips neared her pink ear, Paul, in a mon otonous voice, recited a sort of state ment. He spoke in carefully measured tones, as if anxious that not the merest syllable should be slurred over. The room was still and quiet, and Oladdy slept on tranquilly, while Paul looked round him for something he wanted. Reaching over, he drew towards him a Japanese screen, and fixed it partly between the sleeping girl and a little table, on which were writing materi als. Then he spread out a blank sheet of white paper, and then lifted first a pen, then a pencil from the writing table. "No,” he muttered, "I’ve something better still!’’ And from his waistcoat pocket he drew a 6tylographic pen, which he gently placed between the thumb and finger of the little limp hand of the girl. “Gladdy,” he whispered distinctly— “awake, Oladdy!” The girl stirred uneasily. “Write down word for word what you heard me say a few mlntues ago.” This time Paul's voice had in it a I note of command, almost of menace; and Instantly Gladdy sat up straight, with the pen held firmly in her fingers. Her eyes were wide open and sleep i had lown. | Edging the screen a little forward, j Paul got it adjusted so that Gladdy did not see the sheet of blank paper, then he gently guided her hand around the edge of the screen and placed it upon the paper. "Write!” he said, harshly, and Glad dy obeyed. But from her position she could not see what she was writ ing. rresenuy, as ram s oars eyes in tently watched the motionless pen In the slim, small fingers, It moved, dad dy was writing something carefully, and In a slow, painstaking manner, much as a child under the eye of a master would do. And while she wrote Paul watched her breathlessly. On, on the pen trav eled over the sheet. dady’s handwriting was small and upright and unlovely, the handwriting of the up-to-date girl of today. Paul’B breath grew labored as he watched the pen moving. He could have dash ed off the sentence In half the time; but then between daddy and himself there was at least a quarter of a cen tury in age. At laBt the end of the page was reached, and the stylograph lc pen dropped from the limp, white fingers. "Sign it! Sign your full name!” The command came in breathless syllables, as though the speaker was greatly excited. The pen was instantly lifted. There was Just room for the brief signature—Gladys Templeton. Then, with a low sigh of exhaustion, the girl slipped backward into her chair, and Paul Andsell, after carefully blotting the sheet of paper, folded it and placed it in his pocketbook. “I must get the names of a couple of witnesses, and the thing’s done! But that’s an easy matter in Montreal.” As silently as he came Paul Andsell departed. Down the wide staircase he sped, and out into the clear, white stillness of the starry night, his dark eyes blazing with a strange, triumph ant light. "Is it you, Paul? You have come home?" A sweet, vibrating voice called out gently as his latchkey opened the door of the little suite of rooms or flat which he called home in the gay city of Montreal. "Yes, I have come, Diana; and I have good news—rare, good news for you.” A large, golden haired woman, with a milk-white skin, came out of one of the rooms opening into the hall, where the skeleton loomed quaint and hideous. She was Paul Andsell’s wife, Gladdy had been right in her Bur mlse; but Mrs. Andsell was not a happy wife, to Judge by her dejected, limp appearance. Years ago when Paul first saw Di ana standing in front of the little New England homestead that nestled under the great maple trees, he had thought her the prettiest girl this world held. The poor, shabby, little house was dig nified by the morning glories that climbed all over it, purple and pink and white, making a dainty back ground for the girl’B fairness. It was a picture that stirred the man’s im agination rather than his heart. Already vast possibilities were loom ing for the scientific explorer. Here, in this vision of womanly fairness, he saw a valuable assistant for his enter prise. But Paul Andsell had made great strides since the days when his mas terful will took Diana from her sim ple home, and from her first love, to make her his wife and his tool. No longer for him did the humble pro vincial exhibitions of his mesmeric skill and his power over the minds of others suffice. Higher flights were to day his aim, and more than one ab truse work on hypnotism bore his name on its title page. To be continued.) WORTH IMITATING, Indians of the Omaha Tribe Train Their Children. Mr. Francis La Flesche, an Omaha Indian, has recently published an ac count of the training of children in the tepees of that tribe. No child is permitted to interrupt an elder per son, or to pass between two persons who are speaking,” says the author, “still less to come between them and the Are. We were strictly enjoined never to stare at strangers, nor to ad dress any one by his personal name without a title. From his earliest years the Omaha child was trained in the grammatical use of hi3 native tongue. No mistake was allowed to pass uncorrected. No Indian parent ever whips his child. When It com mits a fault the entire family assem bles in solemn conclave, and it is sum moned and reproved with such gravity that it never forgets the lesson.” These are not civilized red men, but the class known to us as “savages.” Lon don Truth lately gave an account of the training given in Tokyo in the prefecture of police. The Japanese po licemen are taught to knock gently on the doors of houses before they enter. ! Under no circumstances are they to talk roughly. “Rough talk intimidates the innocent, while the hardened crim inal does not mind it.” In executing search warrants they must not dis turb sleeping children or invalids. They must deal kindly with dogs be longing to strangers; hospitality is due to animals as well as to men. No amusement must ever be shown at the mistakes of foreigners. Every effort must be made to impress strangers with Japanese politeness and all peo ple with the kindness as well as the justice of Japanese law. THE NEXT NEBRASKA LEGISLATURE.
