"I can hare this fellow ar rested before lie has a chance to leave the house and he looks dangerous." So he picked up the pen and wrote as di rected. Job looked the slip oyer, guugest? some chuuges. and then, as if satisfied, placed it away in his cout pocket. "I hope it suits you," said Ellison. mockingly. "Quite so. quite so." And then, as he rose to his feet: "And now I have a few parting words to .lames Ellison." ""' "I am listening." "You were interested in keeping the young man in prison. "I assure you that you are entirely wrong," with an air of deep indignation. "Oh, there were few things that you have done of late that I was not ac quainted with,' pursued the other, slow ly and calmly. "Vou refused to help him out of his trouble, and but for this con fession, which I own 1 helped to secure, he might be languishing in prison- yet. 'At first yon showed a disposition to he !m. hut other :nt ;s intervened." "I don't know where you got such ab- urd ideas as these," twisting uneasily n his feet "Never mind where I got them; it is nongh that they are true." "Have your own way," said Ellison. Drugging his shoulders; "and now 1 Jiope you will let me go. I can have a chance to 'tend to some more important business." He was moving toward the door, when Job stepped forward and barred his way. "One moment, please." "What is it now?" angrily. "Where is the young lady (JraceV ,-How dure you address her by that name, fellow?" and, if a look could kill, the little man wouiu have been annihilat ed then and there. "Perhaps I have more right to address her by her first name than you," mutter ed Job, while a look of unutterable sad ness came over his worn old face. There was something in the expression f bis companion that caused XCHison to eye him curiously. There was some strange mystery about the man before that often set him thinking. ' I aare say you will find the young lady in the garden," he said, at length. "What can you possibly have to say to kerr ; "Much more than I dare say," and the hadow again passed over tbe rough fea ture. "Be sure that it will nut be a jword about her birth. I shall not speak ( of that." "Tou are a queer man a queer man," muttered Ellison, and then he hurriedly left the room, shaking his head as over a problem be was hopeless of solving. , Job watched him go with a faint smile. 1 "How he would have liked to show his Waws, and yet be was afraid. A coward at heart, he hesitated how to act, even when it was only a broken-down ex-convict against bim," He approached the window and looked down into the sunny garden. It was the eight of a young girl, seated under a tree, that suddenly changed the expres sion of his face completely. He seemed o be more deeply moved than at any time since he bad been fencing with James Ellison for an antagonist. He re turned to the center of tile room in deep thought, anil tlwn: "Yes, I must see her. It will be such great good news that her lover is free, j And that I have smoothed the way to ' their happiness. It will comfort the poor child. God bless her!" And, leaving the ! for a moment, for, after all, this may be tne last time that I shall see her." He walked slowly down tbe path sh nail taken, and then fluag himself dow on a bench In the shadow of the wall hoping that by waiting he might see her again. As he sat there, with eyes half closed, a step ou the porch caused him to rise, and he found himself face to fa witn I-rank Lllison. For a moment tb two men stood staring at each other, then instinctively rushed forward grapple with each other. Kut the stored-up hatred of years ha gtven Hendricks streugth, and the strng gle was a short one. But, just as Eili son went down, a shot rang out. and the old man fell. Ihe garden suddenly came alive with men, officers and others, probably detectives. As Inspector Thorne, who seemed i charge of the men, raised the wounded man, he saw that he was badly bit, but Job could still speak. "Look for the man who calls himself trunk Ellison," he said, in a clear voice, for Ellison, at Ihe sight of the officers, had escaped. "He is the man you bar been looking for so longthe Shadow He is In the bouse now. Thorne, seeing that Job was dying, and must, therefore, be speaking the truth, gave some burned directions, and his men scattered, eager to be the first to capture such a celebrity. Some entered the house, while others stationed them selves at all the entrances. "Have they found him?" asked Jib, anxiously, raising himself on his elbow. in the hope of seeing his old enemy. "We shall find him, no doubt," replied Thorne. "lie cannot possibly get away from us. The dying man, although his eyes wer fast glazing, still stared around bim. vvuat do you want sometning to drink?" and the inspector held a glasi of water to bis lips, but Job pushed it away. No, no; I want to see her my daugh ter! am Martin Frale." Then added "I let it be thought Frale was dead, and, as we were so alike, took the other's name. They thought his mind must be room, he went down the stairs into the garden, with a smile of anticipation on kit face. dering. AVhat was this talk about daughter? Tbe sound of hurrying steps, and Grace Ellison was beside him. Not far off, hesitating, as if in doubt whether to advance, was Dick Barnett, She saw the wounded man, and her kindly heart was moved to sympathy as sne kneeled down beside him and wiped the death dew from his forehead, while his dim eyes regarded her lovingly. Mere, Dick here;" she called out. "This is the poor man who did so much to help us in our trouble. And he is dying, Barnett, pushing forward through the crowd, recognized in the wounded man bis eccentric friend of other days, whom he bad met uuder such peculiar circum stances. He, too, was moved at the sight, and uttered a few compassionate words. "Is there anything that I can do for you anything thai you want?" she ask ed, as she bent down to catch what he nii'ht say, for his voice was failing, and he was growing weak. For a moment be raised his trembling bands toward her. and then let them fall back with a choking sob. "No no; there is nothing my daugh ter," he quavered. Glace looked around for a moment Id a bewildered way, then said: "Why did he call me his daughter? Ab, his mind is wandering, and be is thinking of the daughter that died." His fast-glazing eyes were fixed on her. CHAPTER XXIV. Job Hendricks entered the garden with A light step. Heeing tile gleam of a hite skirt in the distance, he made his way la that direction. At the same time be was timid about approaching the object of his quest. Grace Ellison came running toward him, but, when she recognized a stran ger, she drew back, and then, wben she recalled that she had seen bim before, tood for a moment undecided in the path. Job bad taken his hat off, and as be Approached in a humble way, be spoke in A stammering voice, while bis face colored like a bashful school girl's. . "Miss, I have good news for you." "What do you mean?" "That to-day to-morrow, at the most - will be free." Ihe stepped forward and took his roach hands in .hers. "Are yon sure are yon sure?" draw lag back again, as If doubting such won itslful news could be true. "No doubt about it. miss, since the real CfiaUoal has confessed." tbe looked at bim for a moment in si leaee, and then held out ber hands to him With A gesture that was at once graceful and childlike. "I believe you have something to do wttk thto." "Hat an 1 should have liked," and then Jo began strange performances with his 1 1 TUf 11 f while for a moment he tand away his head. "I Aat certain that yon have been In I'lBBWlSl In briugkig this alioii'," and tt sawed to tremble as her eyes, filled t, 1 A soft and kindly look, met bis. i I M what 1 could," clearing his C "1 wit an effort, and then, after n f atleties; "1 shouldn't wonder ( , night arrive her at any mo ' 1 Parkas he is even now in the , r-j j jeyoiia exclamation, and T word more, ran by him C th bouse, j Uf lot A moment in the ', IXAt Atttr the bright ng TtJsWI away with a sigh. i tt t mU eews back and at the sound of ber voice his face seemed to brighten. "Will you will you kiss me for her sake?" he murmured, and bis life seem ed to bang on her reply. For a moment she hesitated, then leaned down and touched his lips with hers. As she turned sway, Job sank in the inspector's arms and his eyes closed, but on bis mouth was a smile of ineffable peace and so the end came to the tired man. Frank Ellison did not escape, i,,4d. evi dence being produced to show him to be the man who had made merry with the police so long, he was tried and sentenc ed to a long term of imprisonment. James Ellison was not seen from thst day, nd his affairs were found in such a 'angle that the entire fortune he had received from bis wife bad vanished. Dick Barnett learned in time of his young wife's origin, but it did not change his feelings toward her, and she never learned the secret of her life. As for Martin Frale, the mystery of bis career and his reason for having taken another's name and reputation and assuming his character is still a puzzling memory to many. Perhaps be died just at tbe time he wished, when his work was accom plished, and be needed rest. (The end.) NEEDLE TELLS OF HISTORY. Woi.derful Piece of En broidery that KecoUBte American Scenes. In Philadelphia there is a piece of embroidery that Is without doubt tha most marvelous specimen of Dee lie work In the world. It tells the history jf America from the time of the laud ing of Columbus uutll Its four Luu iredth anniversary. It measures 21 feet in length and 13 feet t) inches iu width. The groundwork is a stretch jf silk, and tbe superb embroidery has been wrought with the finest threads of various colors. Upon this vast expanse there has been most painstakingly, most labori ously embroidered the chief incidents and the leading figures of American history, the work being due to the skill ful fingers of A. M. Peltinsky, a Polish artist. He was engaged six years lu tbe work. While using silk threads of various shades, he has secured the gen eral appearance of a work In oil colors. For instance, be gives portraits of all the Presidents of tbe United States, from Washington to Harrison, and each of these looks exactly like a finely fin ished painting In oils. Noted build ings throughout the Country are repro duced most effectively, ami there Is a most remarkable Illustration of the Brooklyn bridge. Tbe fruits, the flowers, the birds mid the animals of this continent are group ed together In a most striking mauuer. The arts, the sciences and the tiiaini factures are represented by pictures of leading Inventors, discoverers, etc.. like Edison, Fulton, etc. The s'.ory of Columbus is most vividly told, there be Ing shown not only his arrival in Amer ica, but his prison cell, his famous coffin and the Columbus monument Genoa. At the bottom of the tapestry, running clear across, there is a repre sentation of the open sea, which Is cov ered with numerous ships aud boats of various styles aud sizes, from a small yawl to a colossal armed cruiser.

In Tokio alone 000 of them ply their trade, pro- ided with a small table, a fan and paper wrapper to Illustrate and em phasize the points of their tales. The annual report of tae Austrian Association of Paper Dealers at Vienna says that tbe stationery business will be ruined unless tbe use of picture post cards as substitutes for letters should diminish. Tbe enormous extent to hich the picture cards are used on tbe continent is shown by tbe fact that more than 2o0,000 of them were mailed from Graz In one week during tbe Ger man Saengerbuud festival. Waiters at a fashionable summer re sort were recently found to have sup plied their working jackets with inside rubbor pockets. Into these they would slip choice viands from tbe kitchen. which they would then serve to custom ers, and the proceeds went Into their own pockets. Every rubber-pocketed man was of course discharged, and the familiar cry of "rubber!" at that hotl now would create a panic. A Kingman County (Kan.) farmer is growing a row of corn a little more than twenty-five miles long for no other reason than to be singular and extraor dinary. He commenced In a fifty-acre field and went round and round In a circle with a lister until be bad planted tbe whole In a single row, which com mences at one of tbe edges and termi nates In the middle. Wben be culti vated It, of course, he had to plow the same way. As appearances go, the field will make as much crop as It would If slanted In the ordinary way. In bis "Story of the Cowboy," Emer son Hough gives the following quar terly report of a foreman to an Eastern ranch owner, which constituted bis most aerious labor of the yesr: "Deer Sur, we have braud 800 caves this roundup we have made sum hay po tatoes is a fare crop. That Ingllshuinn yu ltf in charge at the other camp got to fresh an' we had to kill bim. Nothing much has happened sence yu lef. Yurs truly, JIM." One day at a rehearsal, W. S. Gil bert observed a girl crying, and asked her tbe cause of it. Between her sobs, she declared she had been Insulted by one of tbe cos turners, who had said to her: "l'ou are no better than you ought to be." Gilbert immediately looked very sympathetic, and said: "Well, you are not, are you, my dear?" To which she replied, promptly: "Why, of course not, Mr. Gilbert." "Ab, that's all right," he said, and she went away perfectly comforted. The other day a Sunday school su perintendent, lu talking to bis pupils about cruelty to animals, said: "Only a coward would abuse a creature that baa no way of protecting Itself. Why, children, I ouce knew a little boy who cut off a calf's tail! Think of lt-took a knife and cut the tail right off! Can any one tell me a verse In the Bible that would have taught this cruel boy that he should not have cut off Uie calf's tail?" After a moment's silence, a small boy held up bis hand, nnd when asked to quote his verse, ven tured: "What God hath Joined togeth er, let no man put asunder." One of the package of seed provided by the Department of Agriculture was recently returned to a member of Con gress by oue of his coiwtiuents, with me roiiowing niouest request: I ap preciate your good-will in sending the seeds, but my eldest daughter, Matilda, Is going to marry the doctor down to the village next mouth, and wife and I think of giving up tbe farm and go ing there to live. If we do, the seeds won't be much good, as we shan't have a garden, so If you could change them for some stockings, No. , and some handkerchiefs or a nice spring bonnet for Matilda, I would be much obliged." When Dion Bouclcault was playing The Vampire" at tbe Princess Thea ter, Loudon, the opening scene repre sented the highest regions of the Alps by moonlight, while a thunder storm raged in the distance.

Of all the Institutions that promote t lie progress of tbe I'uiled States there Is uo other, to uiy lulnd, that compares in importance with free rural mall de livery. Although It is scarcely five years since the system was adopted. It has al ready revolutionized social, business and economic conditions in territory covering over lOO.OOO square miles. Its iHipularliy Is increasing at a rate exceeding that attending any improve ment heretofore attempted In tbe post office service and it uietrns more in tbe way of personal happiness and public advancement than anything else of which I know, says a writer in Suc cess. The importance of this new brunch of the postal service Is best Indicated by tbe rate at which It has grown. We began, lu IS!;, with an appropriation of $40,000. For three years previous to that Congress had made each year an appropriation; but with declining revenues and increasing deficits the postofflce department has been loath to take any step that might involve additional burdens. As tbe matter of establishing rural routes bad been lefi to tbe discretion of the Postmaster General, the appropriations were un used. In 18!H. Congress, In making the ap propriation, embodied a mandatory clause; aud, with much misgiving, Postmaster-General Wlllhua L. Wil son. In October, 180G, established the first route, which was out of Charles ton. W. Va. On the first of July, 1897, only forty-three routes were in opera tion. To-day there are more than 6,000 routes, serving 000.000 farmhouses, In which live more than 4,000,000 people. It requires some experience of life In the country, under old conditions, to realize what It means to these people to be suddenly brought from an Isolated position into daily touch with the outer world, the news and events of which had only sifted to them at haphazard. The territory covered by the rural routes Is equal to about 120,000 square miles, equaling In area tbe New Eng land States, New York and 'New Jer sey. Eventually they will cover 1,000, IXJO square miles or more. The appro priation for tbe maintenance of the service advanced from 140.000 in 1807 to SSO.000 In 1808; $150,000 in 1809; 1450,000 In 19U0; $1,700,000 In 1901. Helen Maoa'a Caae.

The insolence and ex travagance of the costly crudities with which her husband has encumbered bis "palace" cause her simple aoul to im agine weird things. What are they for? Why Is she surrounded by these object, so foreign to luer lowly, prim itive nature? She lives in constant and nervous dread of some Impending ca lamity. To alleviate ber haunting misery she luut engaged four detectives to guard Iter and her treasures. They are dress ed as footmen. The principal pleasure now indulged In by tbia pathetic crea ture Is to peer through the hails aud pasaagea to make sure that her guar dians do not relax their vigilance. This pleasure Itself is beginning to poll and there Is every fear that ber millions will ultimately crush her and deprive her of her renwon. Haunted by tbe ghastly specter of her wealth, she starts up at night lu a feverish pcrspi ration, consumed by a horrible dread of some frightful dis aster which she is powerless to avwt, And her husband? lie Is tired of icr, of her miserable whining, her haunting white face and generally de preKsliig temperament.

I do not see how this curious habit is to be explained except as an instance of what is called "Protective Mimicry." Among Insects and other humble crea tures It Is common to find those which are comparatively defenseless adopting the aspects aud manners of their more formidable neighbors, and thus secur ing Immunity from attack. This de fensive method is rare among the higher animals. Nevertheless, many of the cat tribe, when face to face with an eueuy, apparently imitate tbe be havior of a venomous snake, aud tbua avail themselves of the Instinctive hor ror of the serpent, which we find among the warm bloodod creatures. The hissing and spitting Indulged In by kittens (and other young creatures which have their natural nurseries In hollow trees and similar places) probably has its use In tbe fact that few In quisitive predatory beasts would care to risk a possible encounter with an angry snake. The front aspect of an angry cat, with Ita ears laid flat against Its head, Its eyes glaring and its fangs exposed, is very snakelike, and the. ex plosive hissing sounds It utters are ex actly similar to those uttered by some serpent when about to strike. Against the mimicry hypothesis Is the fact that a large aud formidable feiidae, such as panthers, lions and ti gers, which assuredly need no protec tion of this sort, wave their tails when alarmed or angry quite as much as do the small cats which stand In danger from foxes, dogs aud Jackals. It must be remembered, however, tbat all in nate habits, such as those which we are discussing, and especially all hab its which nre common to a whole spe cies or family, are of tbe extremest an tiquity.
