A sea-captain who lived In Washing ton during his stays on land had a great fancy fof rowls of all sorts and es pecially prized an old gobbler which had Deen long In his possession. From one cruise he brought home a mis chievous vouiiB monkey, which made as much trouble as the proverbial "white elephant." One day, hearing a terrible commotion In the hennery, the captain entered and found .Jocko with the gob bier under his arm, while he was de liberately pulling out the poor bird's last tail-fat her.

Continued. "How pretty your cousin. Miss L'Es trange, looks to-niuht," said Mrs. Kuth ven, as sonn as she took breath, when they paused after thi; first two or three turns. "Why has she such a fancy for that cold, hard, gigantic Mr. Winton?" "A fancy for Winton!" said Marsden, turning sharply to look at Nora, who was standing nearly opiosite, her arm through her partner's, but her head half turned and raised in a pretty attitude to speak to Winton, who stood behind. There was an Indescribable expression of pleasure and liking In her pese, which somewhat justified Mrs. Huthven's remark. "Oh, no," continued Martden, "she has better taste than to care for such a piece of petrifaction! Beside, be Is an old flame of the step-mother's, and is, I fancy, pay ing court in that quarter. No matter, these refrigerated machines are not in our line; yon and I are children of the sun, though chance has made us English. Arc you rested? Iet us have another turn." When next they stopped Marsden bent over her and said, with an air of tender interest: 'l am afraid you are fatigued, you tremble! Come, there is a charming re treat at the end of the conservatory, where you can rest and be guiet; you iook pale. The waltx will not be over just yet, and I can bring you an ice there." Draw ing her hand through bis arm, Marsden led her out Into the cool conservatory. Mrs. Kuthven was unusually disturb ed. Her prominent thought was: "He has made this opportunity to propose for me. To-morrow 1 shall be the mistress of Evesleigh Manor," so, lesning slightly toward her boat, as If Deeding his sup port, she willingly accepted his guidance. The dance finished, Nora, escorted by her partner, an officer of the regiment quartered at Oldbridge, mingled with the stream of guests thronging to the buffet, and while talking together over their ices and lemon squash with Mrs. L' Estrange and Winton, she noticed Marsden break ing away from a prosy master of fox bounds, who had buttonholed him. "I really cannot stay," be said, loudly and impatiently. "1 wsnt to take uu ice to Mrs. Kuthven, who is feeling faint." He went on to the buffet, aud spoke to one of the waiters. "No, I will take it myself," he replied to something the man said. Nora thought he looked really anxious and disturbed. "Is Mrs. Kuthven feeling unwell?" she asked, as Marsden passed. He shook his head, with a smiling glance toward the bore from whom he had just escajied, as If to intimate It was an ex cuse for leaving his guest, and went on quickly into the next room. Winton looked after him. "The rooms are not hot enough for fainting," he said. "You have, not seen the tent yet, Mrs. IKstrauge; come and inspect It." He offered her his arm, Norn and Ixird Alfred Harcourt following. As soon lis they entered the morning room they shw a group of men around the door leading Into the conservatory. Next to it stood Marsden, a look of pux iled surprise on his face. "The lock must hnve shut of itself," Cnplnin Iethbridge whs saying, as Mrs. L'KstraiiKP and Winton drew near. "It is unaccountable." "What is the matter?" asked the lat ter. 'The door is mysteriously locked, though I passed through it only now," said Mars den. slinking it violently. "It looks as if the fair widow did not wunt you Inn k." cried Lord Alfred with a foolish la'i'h, MiilHilen gave him an angry look. "See if the key is in the door." "Hri-nk it open." "Cut out tt pane," were some of the sng geslions rapidly offered. "Is there not some other way into the conservatory?" asked Winton. "Yes, of course; through the east corri dor," cried Mursdeii. He rushed away. In another moment they saw him pass the door and disappear, only to 'return more rapidly, and burst into the room, exclaiming: "Where is I.ady DnrriiigtouV Mrs. I.'Estraiige, come, for God's sake! The key is gone, and .Mrs. Kuthven is ly ing insensible! Call her maid! Iok for Lady Dorringtoii," he cried to the ser vants who were about. "Hring some water. Come, Mrs. IEstrange," and in evident agitation he led the way. through a part of the house not thrown open to Ihe general company, through the conservatory to the tent. Winton, Nora and one or two of the others followed to see If they could be of any use. Mrs. Kuthven Iny apparently lifeless, stretched on the divan, one arm hanging down Inertly, her deadly pallor contrast ing with her splendid dress and gay sur roundings. "Is she dead? Oh, Is she dead?" whis pered Nora, in awe and terror. "No, no," returned Mrs. I.'F.Htretigc, taking the hand which hung so helplessly "she is not cold she breathes give me your fan -she must have air do not come loo close - send lor Dr. Wcldoii; 1 saw him Jnsi now." "I will go for him," said Winton. "but look, Miirsileii, hef jewels are tone. "What can have hnpp ncl V cried M.iis dell. "Hits she been robbed? Jood Cod; and perhaps injured? t'nll Weldou." Turning toward the door, he met J.ndy porriiiztoii coming in. and with her the chief doctor of Oldbridge. one of tin guests. i "Well, well, what's the matter? Hot ' rsmis; too much dancing?" exclaimed Dr. i Weldou, a short, stout, authoritative man. "I'ooh, pooh! don't look frightened." to ' Nora, as he took Mrs. IEslrnoge's place. i "Thsl's right; all she wnnts is air," he laid his hand on her side. "Heart beats; ll's Just a swoon; keep fanning, please -can you get her clothes loosened ? -all fnstcii at the back? -urn Irrational! You had better get out, gentlemen. Are yon ! her ninld?" to a smart little Frenchwom an who came In followed by the butler carrj arrying a caraffe of water and a goblet. Oh. mon Dieu! I never aaw madame so bad liefore," cried the maid. 'Then is she subject to these attacks?" "Y'es, sare a leetle not often." "Try and loosen her dress. Here, give me the water! Stand back, Mr. Mars den." "I cannot leave till I see her revive," cried Marsden. "There is something mys terious in this seizure. She may be hurt. As her host, I feel responsible for her." "Ha! she is coming to," said the doc tor, as a deep sigh mrted the lips they watched so anxiously "(Jet some brandy don't let any one com in here, there are too many already." "Let ua go, then," whispered Mrs. L'Es trange to Nora, adding to Lady Dorriug ton: "I shall be in the conservatory should you want me." Another long shivering sigh broke from Mrs. Kuthven; she slowly opened her eyes, which met those of Lady Dorring ton, who waa bending over her. For a minute or two she did not seem to recognize any one, then an expression of piteous alarm came into her face, as she feebly stretched out her arms and exclaim ed, in gasps: "Save me! don't leave me!" "Dear Mrs. Kuthven, you are perfectly safe; no harm shall conie to you," said Marsden, coming forward. "There there; don't agitate her. You drink this, my dear madame," cried the doctor, offering her some brandy and water. "You are all right now." "Oh! no, no," cried Mrs. Kuthven, rais ing herself with an effort and throwing herself into Lady Dorrington s arms; "that dreadful man will kill m." She burst Into a violent Bt of crying. "That a right, said the doctor, com placently; "that will do her good." "I wish we could get her to her own room," exclaimed Lady Dorrington. "But what has become of her necklace her jewels? Did Mrs. L'Estrange take it off to relieve her?" "No, it was gone when we came in returned Marsden. Hearing the words Mrs. Knthven felt her neck and arms. 'They are all taken," she said. "No matter, he spared my life!" "Who snared your life, dear?" asked Iwdy Dorrington. "Now. don't ask any questions. Cet her to bed," iirgei'- doctor. "Iok here. Mui"n," said Mark Win ton, who had been examining the floor and sides of the tent. "Here is a long rent in the hangings, mid the canvas putting his head through, "is cut away ou the outside also." "Some one must have got through here, snid Marsden. going over to examine tho opening. "Yes," faltert-d Mrs. Kuthveu, who was now fust recovering, though her voice was broken by hysterical sobs. "He came from that side. I was putting my hair right when I thought I heard a rustle; turned and found a dreadful figure in cloak, n large hat and a mask close to me. Before I could draw u breath or scream, he seized me and smothered my face with something. I tried to push him away, for 1 felt 1 was losing my senses. IIS if I should die; then, I knew no more till 1 saw dear I.ady Dorrington Oh! I shall never feel safe again. "Great heavens! while we were hesi tating about that locked door, the scoun drel made his escape! Why, 1 could scarcely have been ten minutes away. Can you ever forgive me for leaving you?" cried Marsden with emotion. "Can you walk, or shall we carry you upstairs?" asked the doctor. "I would rather walk," replied Mrs. Kuthven, who was still shivering and trembling. "Get a shawl or something to wrap round her. Clifford," said his sister. Mars den went quickly to the clonk room and returned with a wrap. Mrs. Kuthven gave him a look of tender recognition, and Lady Dorrington passing her arm round h r, the doctor assisting at the other side, she managed to reach her own room, murmuring entreaties that she should not be left alone as she went. CHAITKK IV. During this disturbance, of which few were aware. Captain Shirley was neither in the dancing or the refreshment rm; but soon after, strolling through the hull, he encountered Lord Dorrington. "Well," snid that gel. is 1 peer, "I hope Mrs. Kuthven is all right again." He took it for granted that Shirley, her par ticular friend, knew of her indisposi tion, and had no idea himself that it had been anything more than nu attack of fnintness. due to heat and, possibly, tight lacing. "Has Mrs. Kuthven been ill?" exclaim ed Shirley. "I was not aware. Where is she?" "f)h, very likely in the ball room by this time. I-ady Dorrington was sent for, and I was told to say nothing about It." "This is most extraordinary," suid Shir ley, who was apparently much, even pain fully, surprised. His small, black eyes glittered eagerly, and he pressed his white tm-th on his lower lip. "I have been out side at the door smoking a cigarette; the rooms are overiioweringly hot- I must ascertain how she is. I never saw her look better than this evening." "Here Is Marsden," returned Iird Dor rlngton. "He will tell us all about her. How is Mrs. Kuthven? Here is Captain Shirley anxious for ti.lmgs." "A little better, calmer, 1 hope," said Msi-sden. who looked pule and anxious himself. "Lady Dornimton and the doc toi1 nre with her," then, lowering his voice, he added, "It lias been a fearful affair altogether. (Vine Into the library. I don't want a row made about it now." As soon ns they had closed the door of the library, where Winton awaited them, Marsden rapidly related the extraordi nary robbery which hud taken place, to the surprise anil dismay of Ills listeners. "By George!" cried Iird Dorrington. "I never heard of such daring villainy! What's to be done?" "Her Jewels all gone!" cried Shirley. "Why, they must be. worth sixty or sev enty thousand, at least. This Is a deep laid echeme; she has been dogged by some of the swell mob." "But how did they know of her jewels?" asked Winton. "She had them looked at or valued for eome reason when she was in Taris on her way borne," ssid Shirley; "very txdish of her, but she told me so." "lis! 1 thought you might give us some hint from your more intimate ac quaintance with Mrs. Kuthven; any as sistance you can give " "Is entirely at your service," returned Shirley, drawing a King breuth. Here Dr. Weldou entered, and without sjieaking sat down to the writing table, and proceeded to write rapidly. Winton, in a low tone, described the position of the ois-niiig cut in the side of the tent- Will you dispatch one of your grooms with this prescription to my assistant- Mr. Marsden?" said the doctor, without hiking up. ".Mrs. Kuthven will hardly get any sleep without a composing draught. 'Certainly, doctor. I have already or dered a horse to be saddled, as I shall send a report of this extraordinary occur- rem-e to the head of the police at Old bridge. The local men must have the managing of the matter in the first in stance. I will write a brief message, and then we will examine the terrace and grounds." Where, I fear, we'll find but little," said Winton. "Given a quarter of an hour's start, and it will be almost impossible to catch the ruffian," observed Shirley. The only chance ia that some accom plice may split. A thundering big reward is the thing," said Lord Dorrington. On such a night, with numbers of peo ple going al)iit, any strunger would pass unnoticed," returned Shirley. The entrance of the butler interrupted. "The man and horse are ready, sir." "Wait," suid Marsden. 'There is my note," said Dr. Weldon. "Tell your messenger to keep ringing the night bell till some one comes. He knows my house?" "Oh, yes, sir." Then Marsden rose and gave full di rections as to giving his missive into the hands of the Inspector at Oldbridge. "Who are you sending?" "Tom Harris, sir, on Brown Kobln." "Good. Tell him to ride like the devil; then bring me a lantern in the conserva tory. Ouick. We will see if there are any tracks." "It is almost incredible that in aucb a place, with crowds of people at band, auch an outrage could have been committed, said Shirley, who seemed dazed by his astonishment and concern. "It is done, however, and very effectu ally. I am utterly confounded! It seems a sort of personal disgrace that auch an outrage should have been perpetrated on a guest at Evesleigh." "Come on," said Winton impatiently. "Dorrington," said his host, pausing "I wish you would take Ludy Blankford in to supper and keep the people going. If ihe truth Is known there will be such an infernal row. Every one will be panic struck, and I want them to get their supper in peace. Tell the marchioness what you like. Say I am looking after Mrs. Kuthven. Tell Mrs. L'Estrange and Nora not to talk ulsuit the theft." "Very well," said Lord Dorrington, obediently, and hurried away to do his brotber-iu-lnw's bidding. Wintou's cool hcud and practiced intelli gence made him the natural guide in such an investigation. The gravel on the terrace without wan hard and dry, und, save two faint, scarce ly perceptible impressions which might be footprints, there was no sign that the robber had luln in wait there. Near the spot where Winton and his host stood was a short flight of steps leading to the pleasure ground beneath which here ended in a thick growth of evergreens, through which a walk led to a gate opening on the high road to Old- bridge. This gate was usually locked, but was a favorite means of egress to pe destrians going to and from the town. "Let us have n look along here," said Winton. "Hold the lantern lower." Socking carefully as they went, they examined every inch of ground at either side of the path, and had proceeded about a hundred yards when Winton uttered an exclamation, and snatched the lantern from the bewildered butler. "What's this?" he cried, stooping to drag a dark bundle from under the low growing branches of some thick laurels. Marsden ciii riy assisted, and they quickly unrolled a short, wide, foreign looking bine" cloak, from which foil a mask and a long knife, something like a bow ie knife. "The scoundrel cast his skin here!" said Marsden, "making sure there would bn no pursuit till the conservatory door was opened and his victim recovered. Good God! that poor woman had a narrow escape. If fright and chloroform together had not made her insensible, he would have murdered her!" "Professional thieves in Europe seldom shed blood, I believe," returned Winton. "Let us break a couple of branches to mark the spot w here we made the find." (To be continued.) "Tbe (rct Terror." During the long days of June and July there raged again a carnival of blood, known to history as the "Great Terror." In leu than seven weeks up ward of victims were Immolated. The unbridled llcenae of the guillotine broadened as It ran. First the aristo crats had fallen, then royalty, then their sympathizers, then the hated rich, then the merely well-to-do, and lastly anybody not cringing to exiting power.

The sections of I'nrls were divided, swine for the con vention, some for Robespierre.

At a meeting of fifty prominent Illinois physiclaus, held during their recent trip of investigation to" Hot Springs, South Dakota, it whs resolved that a committee of live be appointed to draft suitable resolutions, voicing the sentiment of the meeting nmctrn iug the Dakota Hot Springs, as viewed frcm the physicians' standpoint.
