I "I will go, and perhapi Doctor Weldou w ill accompany me," replied Winton, "but your prolonged abseme will be remarked. Von had better allow yourself." j "1 am wild you.'" cried the doctor, who I had tied a largu silk pocket handkerchief I over his heud us a measure of precaution. And you. Captain Shirley?" "I shall return to the house. It seems hopeless and fruitless to search further. 'My impression is that the jewels are irre '' , para blr lust. They will be out of their isettiiiKs by tomorrow and can never be ' Identified." "Still we must do our best," said Mara- til II. "C.me, w e'll (;.-t a (jIllsS of cllllUl- Pukim' and hear how Mrs. Kulhven is." The li 1 10 01 u 1 im .-ii I of supper gave every one Hiittii ii-tst und auriH'ablu Dccupation, so the iibsetico of the host was but little remarked. Meantime, Mrs, I.'Kstraiige and Norn had gone upstair to l-ioly 1 lorriugtoii'a room. to kiiiji news of Mrs, ltuthven'a con ditioli, and lo keep out of the way, lis the nerves of both hud been a good deul shaken. "She is a good deal quieter," nit i 1 1 Lady Dorringlon, coming to join them. "She hud another rit of hyslerical crying, which haa relieved her. My maid 4ml her own will sit by her all night in turns, so she w ill never find herself alone. I have just seen Clifford, who waa goiiiK to wash and brush away the traces of his search in the shrubbery. They found a musk, 11 cloak and a Innj;. shnrp knife." "A knife!" echoed Nora and her atep niolher with a shudder. "We hud better go downstairs. They have gone in to supper, and I must say I feel the w ant of something dreadfully. I am quite exhausted, and so infinitely dis tressed about- this horrid business; do come, Mrs. I.'Katriinge." In the hull they met Winton. who had just returned with Hr. Weldoti. They had found the Oldbridge gate aecurely locked, and no truces of foolstepa. The daring robber seemed to have vanished as mysteriously us he came. "That Is not to be wondered at, consid ering the number of persona moving about tin such a night," continued Winton. "The acoumlrel hHd only to be cool and leisure ly and he might have walked through the whole array of guests and servants. "It gives one a frightful feeling of inse curity," anid Mrs. L'Kstrange. "There la no on use for fear now," said Winton. "The robber has secured his booty. He will keep hia distance. Von look an scared that I would advise sup per ami champagne." "And I nm glad lo confirm Mr. Winlon'a advice," nid Dr. Weldou. "dome, my dear niadauie," offering hia arm to Mrs. L'l'st range. "Fermit me, I,ndy Dorringlon," said Winton, following his example, "and Miss L'Kstrange." , "I can take care of you, Nora," Inter rupted Maraden, who came up at that moment, and he drew her hand through hia arm. "Why, what pale cheeks! I thought you were a plucky girl!" "Ynu are pale enough yourself, squire, and no wonder! imagine if that dreadful man had used hia knife!" " 1I1, well, he did not! I auspect he only had it lo cut hia way into the tent. I nope there are u lot of accomplice; that is our only chance of recovering the jewcla; oth erwise Winton fears there is very little prospect of doing so." Here he stopped suddenly, and drew hia companion behind a group of palms close to the door of the supper room, as the Marchioness of lilankford came forth in earnest conversa tion with Lord Dorrington. "I am not K"ing to be caught," he whia pered, as he again pressed 011 to the anp per room, "until you have given me that waltz I have been looking forward to through all thia unfortunate business, dome w hat may after, I am determined to Htuitch one bit of enjoytneut. (Jive mc iijine champagne," he cried to one of hia own aervanta, who were stationed at the principal table, where the older and weightier guests were to be feasted; he held out a tumbler which he emptied at a draught, to Nora'a surprise, then he in sisted oil her taking some, and pressed her to eat, with great solicitude. "It deems rather heartless to go and dance, after seeing poor Mrs. ltuthven in anew a suite, her beautiful jewel torn from her. "Nonsense," returned Marsden, abrupt ly, "she is rich enough to buy others. A true woman, I iiieau a true-heurted wom an, which is another thing, would not be Inconsolable for the loss of a hundred such baubles. It would not injure health or reputation or affections. You would not care if you lost all the diamonds of Ciloonda provided those you lore were led. yen; thai is. if you loved any one'" Nora looked tit him with a vague feel ing of ulnnn. His while face and flash lug eyes struck her as unusual. She had been acciistumed lo look upon him as a near kinsman, a contemporary of her father'a, the trienilly head of ,er house. Now, a midden reviliiiion Hashed uMin lu-r thai, although considerably her senior in years, he was lis young, fl full to the lips with life, as In rsell thai he was nonielhing to be guarded nguiiis;! - w hy, she did not know, tiny, she would have Indignantly denied the existence of auch an Instinct, had she been accused of it. So ahe put her hand 011 hia arm, tind glided away with him, (0 the. undulating mualc of the Mnnola Waltz. Fresently ahe an Id "Stop -stop!" and Marsden brought her tip, skillfully, near the recess of a window, "Wlnil is the matter? Are you tiled?" "No, but I do not want In dunce any more! I waa aure you were taking loo much champngnc, aipiire!" looking straight nl him. "Do you know you held me so tight it wns ijuite uncomfortable?" "Did I?" exclaimed .Marsden, laugh lug. "I am aura 1 beg you a thousand pur quite unfou- "I dare aay, but I am aure you oufcht not to dance any more!" "Why? My dear cousin, do you think I cannot ataud a few tumblera of chuui pagms? Do you suppose I would take more than I could manage? You are pos itively Insulting! Come, I shall never for give you if you dou't finish the waltz with tne." "I really would rather not I am uot iu the. humor for dancing. I ahould prefer going home and you are not quite aa us steady as you ought to be. You are not a bit like yourself. Don't be angry with me, I should be o sorry to vex you, particular ly to-night." "Then take another round. No, I will not let you off!" "Well, sijuiru, I see Helen at the other side of the room. I will go so far with you. tin u 1 w ill gi, home." "Say 'Clifford,' or- I shall do something dreadful." "Very well! Flease, Clifford, be very steady." Marsden iried to pass Mrs. L'Kstrange. but Nora made a stout resistance, and they presently bade Lady Dorringlon good night. "Shull I see you home?" asked Winton. "I do not think either of you look par ticularly brave or comfortable." "Yes, do come!" ejaculated Mrs. L'Ks trange. "I shall see lo all our burs and bolls before I sleep to-night." "I will just lell Mursden I shall return to hear if there is any message from the inspector, and will be with you directly." "So Winton is going (o escort you home?" Hii il Mursden, coming out with Nora to the carriage. "Are you sure he is sober enough for such a task?" "Mr. Winton? Oh, yea-he la never anything else but sober!" ' Marsden laughed, not pleasantly. Hy this lime the story of the robbery had got afloat, and great was the ex citement mid hubbub. A thousand fan tastic addition were made to a history strange enough in itself, and Murli.len ws almost mobbed by hia guests, eager for Information. Hut the idea of continuing the festivity was quite given up; the company guth erod in groups to discuss the extraordi nary outrage committed almost iu their midst, ami gradually dispersed to their homes ut a much earlier hour than was anticipated. And so the grand Evesloigh bull, which was remembered for many a year, came to an end. CIIAFTKK V. The day succeeding the bull was one of intense excitement to Marsden's some what aern tell household. It was many a day aince the Old bridge police had risen to audi Import ance, and they made the most of it. Kvesleigh House was pervaded by stal wart guardians of the public pence. They rummaged the rooma, aeiit the high minded house-maids into 'hysterics by examining their boxes; tramped to and fro in the grounds, every now and then carefully follow ing foot-print w hich hud been made by their feflow. They near ly look the Italian confectioner, sent down by the great Loudon house which furnished the more subliuie portions of the supper, into custody; they examined the men, and Were "siimeil" by the women; but they discovered nothing, nnd they impressed Marsden with a con vletion of their im-ompetence. He there fere dispatched 11 telegram to his solicitor, requesting him to obtain the assistance of a detective from Scotland Yard. When Nora walked over to Inquire for Mrs. Huthven on the afternoon following the seHi-eh ahe -was 11 little surprised hy being admitted to the presence of that Luiy, who arose from her writing table to greet her with a smile. She looked pale, and the shadows be neath her eyes were dark, as if she were exhausted by the excitement she had gone through. "Thnnk you, my denr Mis L'Kstrange, for coming to see me! Captain Shirley tells me you were so good aa to be very frightened about me lust night. , I as sure ynu, I am grateful; I fancy few care much for me!" "Oh, every one likes you! every one must like you," cried Norn, touched by her caressing manner and soft voice. "I was awfully frightened! you looked like death! I wonder you are as well as you aeern, "I feel very ahaky, however. Was there ever ao audacious a crime? and that awful long knife! I must have been near death for a moment." "Don't think of It," said Nora, shud ilermg; anil mey nave lound mi clew ns yet to thelhief?" "None not the faintest. The cloak, hat ami musk were all rolled up together, wilh the knife, I am told; and are none of them of Knglixh make? they are 1 1 . , help. Captain Shirley says, no doubt the robber had other clothes or covering to put on, and probably walked away coolly and openly, as a enest who was en Joying the freshness outside after the warmth within." "Rill he will be discovered. Surel lie will not escape?" snid Norn. "Not if money nnd perseverance can trap him," said Mrs. Huthven, In a lew. resolute lone, thin struck Nora as hav ing a touch of cruelty. "What an ending to a charming ball!" 1 lie .,.1,1 uued , ''though it did not quite end did it'.' I believe you hud n few dalieei after." "Yea, returned Norn; "all Hie p. did not know for some time ivliut happened, bo the band played on, hail I but 1 by half past i nil was ended."

In many suburban homes there are only a very few trees, but these need j spraying- just as much as the trees in big orchards. The question is how to uu il iuuhl cneapjy ana convenieniiy. It may not pay to buy expensivepumps and fixings for these small operations.
