"I don't want to quit just yet. I've come across for you Now 1 want you to enne across for me. Won't you? I waut to marry Helen." The Master Mind conten plated his puppet with a supercilious stare.

Fly company. end to this intolerable tete-a-tete. Mrs. Blount spoke to Lucene with a half serious playfulness: "He's such a naughty boy! Has be been worrying you. dearie?" Suddenly her greedy eyes fell on a bracelet that the young wife was wearing for the first time. "Oh. what a lovely brace let!" she exclaimed, and now her tones were wheedliugly soft ami sweet. She placed a hand on the ornament caress ingly, but the slender, skilled fingers were busy. Lucene. however, was In no mood to be atient under the impositions of this woman. She drew her arm away quickly. "No, you shan't have it," she de clared spiritedly. "Why. dearie!" Mrs. Blount cooed placatingly, the-heavy lids drooping low over her big. slumbrous eyes. "1 only wanted to" Lucene was ruthlessly frank. "No. I tell you. You've taken almost everything I have already." Tho husband fairly glared at his wife. "You told me she t?uve 'em to you!" he growled bitterly. "And you did. didn't, you. dearie?" the wife persisted, alarmed. Iiut any hope of help from the girl as an ally was dissipated on the in stant. '""I did not!" Lucene exclaimed with a vehemence rare In her. The oold voice of Andrew Bounded dominant through the room: "Mrs. Blountr All turned to face the speaker where he stood just within the doorway, but the woman he addressed turned much more slowly than did the others. Blount, nevertheless, made bold to speak up manfully in behalf of his erring spouse. "Oh, that'll be all riht," he declared, with an effort toward assurance. "She'll give them back, of course." Andrew, however, made no answer. Tor that matter, he was no longer giv ing attention to the woman or her hus band. He was. instead, listening to the dialogue between Walter and Lu cene, for the young man had seized this opportunity -to continue his plead ing with the girl. "Say, If you'll do this for me." be was urging, "I'll never bother you again. Come on now! Won't you?" "No." was the steadfast answer. "1 will not. luring ihe last month you Lave made my life miserable by forcing me to get money for you from my hus band to save you from disgrace, and incidentally myself. But you may threaten me as much as you like you sbtfu't have Helen. No. no!" "Why not, I'd like to know?" Walter demanded blusteringly. The reply was explicit: "Because you're not ht." The contemptuous words caused the thief's fury to pass all bounds. "Oh. I ain't eh?" he stormed. -Well. I'd have you know I'm just as tit for Helen as you are for Wainwrigbt. See? And, if you don't help me, why, my fine lady. 1 11 just" Andrew's voice broke off the half spoken threat. "That will do. Walter," he command ed. "Lucene is right." The young man protested. "But I only want to marry Helen." "It is impossible." Andrew retorted. Walter flared ugain. "So. that's the game. Is It?" he sneer ed. "well I don't go tomorrow !" the thief cried, wrathfully. Andrew tamed blandly toward Blount, "When you go out will you be so jood as to send Parker here as your son will wi3h to give some orders about his packing. By the way." be added carelessly, "you and Mrs. Blount also will be leaving tomorrow. Have you. by any chance an objectiou to make?" "Objection? Nor Blount said vie oreusly. "Lord, we'll be tickled to dath to go home." Blount led her from the room. But before "the pair bad qolte reached the floor the Master Mind called again to the westerner: "Oh. Blouut! And tell Parker also to seud Sir. Marshall here." Luceue sank down wearily in a chair. But MYnlter approached Andrew ug greesively. f "No'w.'look here!" he exclaimed true- ! uleutly "l don't scare worth a cent, j und I'm advising you that you'd better j go light too. I knew t thing cr two." ! He grinned evilly. Andrew regarded his rebellious tool with undisguised disgust. "Very well, Walter. When Sir. Mar shall comes we are going to allow you to confide in him at your pleasure." "Aw, let him come!" Walter declaim ed valiantly. "What do I care for him? Where does he get off, anyhow?" Then Andrew replied in a whisper, "Mr. Marshall is a detective in the Pinkertou service." Walter was unable to eoLtrcd a start, aud a cigarette fell from ficgers that trembled. Andrew stocpcl aud picked it up. and as he returned it to the young man he added in his most sub servient manner: 'Tardon me, sir. Was it my awk wardness, or are you perhaps a little nervous, sir?" Again, he changed his tone aud spoke now as the Slaster Slind, tundng toward the watching girl. "I tniuk that it is possible Walter will, after all. decide to depart before morning." He faced his victim and lashed the thief with scornful eyes. "I said, 'Walter.' 1 should have said. Diamond Wil " The thief's hand caught at his tor mentor's arm in agonized appeal. "Xo. no, Andiewf he cried huskily. "I'll do anything you say." "It may be too late." Walter's face was white with terror now. "Don't give me up, Andrew," he lag ged. "Oh. for (Jod's sake don't give me up! Lucene!" he called in despair. Her heart was moved. "Let him go, Andrew," she interced ed.. "I don't want any trouble, for my own sake." The Master Mind made no direct an swer to her plea. Instead, Le turned and spoke to Pcrker, who appeared in the doorway, following the message he had received from Blount. "I think it was Mr. Walter who wanted you. Parker." Andrew said iu an expressionless voice. Walter assent:.d with feverish haste. "Yes, I'arker. I'm going away in the morning early. I want you to help me pack." - Lucene, left alone with Andrew, gazed at him with miserable eyes. "Oh, those dreadful people!" she cried distractedly. "I can't under stand how you" She cheeked her outburst with an effort out of respect for the man she esteemed so highly. Andrew walked to her and stood looking down commiseratiugly at the delicate face, in which just now the blue eyes shone a little more Uiuily than was their wont. He regretted profoundly that the necessities of his vengeance must thus involve in suffer big the girl whom he had come to cherish very fondly more fondly than any other living thing. Sometimes even there stirred iu the man's heart a suspicion that perhaps be was growing to lavish on her a love like that he had borne his brother. But always he crushed back th? thought as something wickedly disloyal to that brother who was dead dead at the hands of an en emy who must pay the penalty, though it were to wring this girl's heart, thouzh it were to destroy her every hope of happiness. "I'm sorry you have lern annoyed, more sorry thj'n I can say. But don't waste a though" on Walter. He's not worth it." "It is all horrible." the girl exclaim ed. "Sometimes I give up hope. It is all so false." Andrew viewed - this emotion with alarm. At whatever cost this instru- S?

"It's true." h? confessed, with evi dent contrition In voice and manner, "that I've leen greatly Imposed on by these persons. You see. my dear. 1 couldn't be too particular about the 6ort of folks 1 engaged to play a spu rious part like theirs. Tomorrow they 6hall all le gone, and you'll be left to j ourself in ieace." "In pence!" Lucene repeated wistful ly, and her face was very sorrowful "I wonder. Oh." she went on in a burst of feeling. "I know. Andrew, that it was wrong not to tell Cortland everything nt the beginning- This se crecy lietween 1dm and me is a poison that must eat out the'beart of our hap plnoss." The Master Mind hesitated for a lit tle, from sheer pity fv;r the -uric-ken creature he f hhzi.

The single word ranu7 ladcn with horror to the girl's ears, the proclamation of her own degradation. "No, no!" she protested in despair "It can't be true! It must not! I won't believe it!" Andrew maintained an nftifudo of sympathetic regret as be stood, a little bowed, before her. Under the piteous pleading in her eyes he fcit his resolu tion slipping from him. He would fain have taken her in his arms, to comfort tenderly as might a father. But he Lraced himself to resist, though he suf fered grievously at liaving to continue her torture on this rack of his own de vising. "I have never misled you, Lucene," he lied, firmly.

Mr. Robertson of Glen wood, former ly one of the editors of the Opinion, made the Herald a hasty call on his way to Lincoln. Miss Anna Dakin who has been in Utah for the past year, returned on Thursday last, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Liddlc, of Utah, who will probably spend the winter in Platts mouth. Gen. E. E. Cunningham and wife came down to Plattsmouth on Tues day last and were warmly greeted by their many friends here. The general looks hale and hearty after his sojourn in the Black Hills. J. W. Moore, brother of our J. B. Moore, of Rock Bluffs, is visiting his friends and relatives here during fair week. Mr. M. lives in Des Moines, Iowa, and says he must get home in time to hear Blaine speak at Burling ton on October 2d. The Second street bridge is finish ed at last, and is a very handsome structure, and a very great aceom moda to all the people who have busi ness at the railroad freight depot and at the residents on the street. Young Mr. Wise was the contractor and has made a good, substantial job of it. Lawyer Smith has found his pocket book, but not his money. The book and money are supposed to have Leen found by a man named Johnson, near Rock Bluffs. His people, together with his father-in-law, Eaton, hf.ve been spending too much lately buying horses, calico and so on. The sheriff and Smith went down there yesterday and the full results will be known soon. Sirs. H. E. Palmer and son return ed to riattsmouth last Saturday from an extended trip in Colorado, where they enjoyed a sight of cooling snows while we poor mortals sweltf red with the heat. They, in company with Mrs. Hayes, were detained some ten or twelve hours by the collision of two trains on the U. P. R. R. Miss Anna Gyger bid adieu to our city on Monday last and is ere this well on her way toward California, where she has long ben contemplating a visit. She will be sadly missed, as was testified to by the goodly num ber of friends gathered at the depot for a last farewell, and a last heart felt shake of the hand. The coun tenance of each expressed grief similar to that shown by her parents were quite overcome at the thought of losing her, and were only reconcil ed, probably, with the thoug-hts that her happiness and enjoyment would be complete when she has at last reached her destination. Those left behind can only wish her a pleasant journey, a hap?y visit, and a safe re turn, as soon as she has tired of the far, far west. Treasurer Patterson has bought a handsome team of carriage horses to drive in that new buggy. A reward is hereby offered to any man that will get the better of John Shannon on a knife trade. Dr. Schildknecht is bound to stop the ravages of that creek, and is do ing some effectual work on it this time. Pr. Clutter, our new dentist, seems to have plenty of work and we be lieve is a real addition to our society and business. At last Phil Young has procured the people's favorite, "John Dillon," in "My Awful Dad." Phil has him booked for December 17th. We went down to hear Chaplain Wright on the temperance ct.use Fri day evening and were very much dis appointed to be put off with a magic lantern show. We had particularly desired to hear his views on this mat ter. We were invited into and shown through the surveyor general's new office in the Fitzgerald block by the gentlemanly chief clerk, A. Ischlegel. The rooms, three in number, are very convenient, light and pleasant, though not as retired as the old place. We presume the boys will miss their fine croquet ground next spring after some of their hard day's work is com pleted.

Notary Public Wy commission expites Oct. i, IVlb trial before Judge Gass for violation of the law in selling liquor on Sun day, and was allowed a jury trial. The jury failing to agree, were dis charged and yesterday a new jury were summoned and the case was again tried. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty and the defendant notice of an appeal. Our friend, Gramberg, of Gram berg & Schnasse, has left us for the great auriferous regions of the dark colored bluffs on the upper waters of the American continent, where he pro poses to prospect for the hidden treas urers that bounteous nature has con cealed fathoms deep in the bosom of her dressing gown, to tempt the plia ble fingers of human man to extract and wax fat thereon. There are a lot of other fellows going or gone to the Flack Hiils from here soon now. All got the fever. At the last council meeting they very wisely, we think, appointed a city marshal. In view of the long winter nights, the fact of numerous petty thieves, and the prevalence of tramps it had become absolutely necessary that some constituted authority be appointed to enforce the laws and ordinances of the city; un der the late city practice it was no use to pass an ordinance or resolution there being no officer of the law to enforce its provisions if violated. Be sides hard cases hearing of our situation began to flock in here. With the present financial situation in this famous greenback town, the council think they have no money to pay a marshal except $10 per month and it is expected that business men and other citizens protected will con tribute to defray these expenses. Whether justly or not that is the situation and we hope our citizens will be liberal in their action, as the needs of the city demand a good man and no good man can serve for $10 per month in city orders. P. B. Murphy was appointed such marshal and is now acting. County Assessor W. R. Bryan de parted yesterday afternoon for his farm at Ashland, where he will look after and assist in the work of har vesting the wheat crop if the weather will permit. ciik CORSET 3 rZTta Add beauty, grace and ease of move ment to the figure f 1.00 up.
