CHAPTER XXI.—Continued.
One member of the household was
soon to discover this. Miss Perkins
camp upon him unexpectedly, as he
was stooping, with his back toward
her. and apparently engaged in close
ly examining the keyhole of the door
belonging to his master's private
room.
"What’s that you’re doing?" she
cried sharply.
The individual thus addressed start
ed violently, and something fell to the
ground with a chink—something
which he immediately covered with
iiis foot before lie turned and faced
her without making any reply.
"You've changed your ways lately,"
she said, seeing lie made no answer,
"and always hanging about this door.
What's your game, l should like to
know. Anyhow, you aren't up to no
good. People as gets into respectable
houses under t'als” names very seldom
is up to any good!”
With this Parthian shaft she turned
away and left him. looking hack once
over her shoulder, with that same
malicious smile, as she marked the
effect it had produced. What did she
mean by that remark of hers about a
false name? How could she have
found it out? The shot was too near
the bull’s eye to have been fired at
random, flood heavens! Was it pos
sible she could have any suspicion of
the real truth?
There was no source whatever from
which she might have obtained this in
formation—Ah-!
He flew upstairs at a tremendous
rate, flight after flight, to the top of
the house, to his own room, burst the
door open and entered.
There war, a modest looking box
in the corner of the room—a box
which contained his few belongings.
Had lie remembered to relock this
on the last time when he had occasion
to resort to it?
No, the lid offered no resistance to
his hand.
Ho began to turn over the articles
which it contained, but could not hit
ment she stood motionless, holding the
magazine in one hand, while she look
ed at the individual before her with a
puzzled, searching expression ’’pon
her countenance. Then a sudden light
seemed to break in upon her—she
gave a gasp—her expression changed
from curiosity to amazement, and, ut
tering a little cry, she turned sharply
round and ran rapidly up the stair
case, leaving the other a prey to the
liveliest astonishment. What other
remarkable Incidents was the day to
bring forth?
Meanwhile the young lady had re
gained the stronghold of her own
apartment, locked the door, and.
throwing the now despised magazine
into a corner, sat down to confide the
state of her feelings to the keeping of
her faithful diary:
“A most extraordinary thing has
happened,” she wrote. “My head is
in a whirl and 1 hardly know what I
am writing, or what to do, or think.
To imagine that I have so often puz
zled myself over that young man’s
likeness to someone else, a likeness
which I could never quite fix. though
I have often seemed just on the joint
of doing so. Very likely I should
never have hit upon it but for that,
apparently, utterly insignificant action
of mine in dropping the book I was
carrying. He rushed forward to pick
it up and returned it to me and—ail
at once it struck me like a flash
where I had seen him before. It was
the same circumstance—the same
action—and the same young man!
“it is a most extraordinary thing
and takes my breath away even while
I write: but there is no mistake about
it. There could not possibly he two
people so exactly alike and with pre
cisely the same manner—unless—this
is a twin brother of the ether. But,
if so, how is it that one is a gentleman
and the other only a servant?
“Was there ever such a combination
met with before, and what—oh. what
is the reason for his extraordinary
conduct, unless—unless he is the
Prince in Disguise, after all!
“What's that you’re doing?”
upon the thing he was in search of.
The little shabby prayer book, contain
ing his real name in his father's own
handwriting, was gone! Gone! Stolen!
That hateful woman, with her sly,
cat-like step and hypocritical ways,
had taken advantage of his one act of
ca-elessness, in leaving the box un
locked, to pry into its contents and
carry off the most compromising
article of all.
Well, the damage was done, and
cou’.d not bo repaired. The only thing
now, was to try and stave off the dis
covery of the double part he had
been playing a little while longer.
After a time he rose from his grov
eling attitude with his mind fully
made up. There was only one course
to pursue, and he would pursue it.
He must appear totally ignorant of
the theft, and receive every allusion or
insinuation with an affected utter lack
of comprehension. Let her suspect
what she might, let her act and talk
as she would, he must keep up the
delusion and try to baffle her for at
least one more day. Or else, if she
seemed inclined to show her teeth if
she appeared disposed to be danger
ous. he must hurry on the matter.
A llttie later in the clay, as he was
absently staring out of a window in
the hall, he heard a faint, rustling
sound, and, looking up, saw Miss Fer
rers descending the staircase. He
allowed his eyes to rest upon her for
an instant, telling himself that his op
portunities for doing so would soon
be at an end no\N
She must have felt his glance, for
a certain air of embarrassment seem
ed to fall upon her, and the color rose
in her face.
Then she gave herself an impatient
twitch, as though she said to herself.
"Stand upon your dignity and do not
allow the impertinent gaze of a mere
menial to discompose you!”
The young man who had picked up
my catalogue at the Royal Academy!
One of the effects of the twitch was,
that it caused her to drop a magazine
which she was carrying, just as her
foot was upon the last step.
Before she could stoop to reclaim
it, there was a hurried dart across the
hall, on the part of the menial in
question, and the article was retored
to her with, what was not so much the
respectful deference of an inferior, as
the ordinary and natural courtesy of
an equal.
The effect of this simple act of
politeness upon its recipient was as
singular as unexpected. For a mo
“How the girls at school would envy
me! T am living in the same house
with a real live Mystery!"
CHAPTER XXII.
Perkins' Revenge.
Friday morning came, bringing with
it, about eleven o'clock, a message
which struck a feeling of chili fore
boding to the heart of the individual
whom it concerned.
The master of the house desired to
speak with the young man Edwards
at once, in the dining-room. What did
it mean? Was it merely some matter
of small importance in connection
with his household duties to which he
wished to draw his attention person
ally. or—?
Mr. Ferrers was sitting in his place
at the head of the table. There was
something judicial looking in his at
titude and expression, and, standing at
a short distance from him, was the
housemaid, Perkins.
“Come in and shut the door," was
the first sentence addressed to him.
He obeyed noiselessly and care
fully, more than ever mindful of his
assumed position and grateful for
each second’s delay, which allowed
- him the opportunity of searching his
I brain for some way out of the dilem
ma.
"Edwards."—it was the voice of his
mr.ster and enemy addressing him—
“I have one or two very serious ques
tions to put to you.”
The young man bent his head defer
entially, and seemed to intimate his
entire readiness to answer all inquir
ies.
“ft. has been brought to my notice—
that is, I have reason to believe"—the
voice continued, as its owner seemed
to experience some difficulty in open
ing up the subject—“that I have been
deceived in you, and—in fact, that the
name under which you are at present
passing, is not your own. Is that so?”
Ted answered respectfully, “Begging
your pardon, sir. but the name I am
going under is my own. Might I be
allowed to ask who says anything to
the contrary?”
"You mean to maintain that your
name is Edwards, after all?” he in
quired, bending his brows upon Miss
Perkins, whose—as he now thought
fit to describe it—unwarrantable inter
ference in the matter had subjected
him to thl3 annoyance.
“#!y name is Edward, sir. An ‘s' at
the end makes it sound better, and I
thought there was no objection to my
adding the letter."
"Then you. name. according to your
own statement, is Edward, and you
have merely added the final letter. If
so, I am sorry—” 1
This was more than the woman
could stand, and she broke in, uncere
moniously upon her master's speech,
Edward! Edward what, I should like
to know? He's deceiving you, sir, in
tryirg to make out as that’s his sur
name. Ask him what the other is and
why he’s had to drop it?”
Mr. Ferrers turned toward him,
wearily. “Is the woman right in as
serting that the name you have given
is only your Christian name? In
which case it would seem that you
have added the other letter for the
purpose of making it do duty as a sur
name?”
There was a second’s hesitation,
during which the housemaid nit her
“P v ith impatience, be fore the answer
came, slowly.
"My Christian name is Edward; it
did not seem to me to be of any Im
portance which 1 gave.”
Perkins sniffed triumphantly. “So
you’re going to try and get out of it
that way,” she thought, "bur it won't
do."
Somethin?; in this last answer had
helped to raise him in his master's
suspicions.
"I must insist upon your giving me
your right name,” he said, authorita
tively.
"Shall I answer him with a He?"
was the thought which passed through
the other's mind. "Surely, one more
need rot weigh very heavily upon my
conscience? And In si eh a cause!”
But, in the same instant, the face of
this man's daughter rose up before
him. “How she would despise him.
if she knew,” he thought, with a sud
den reaction and a sense of self-con
tempt, as he answered, still respect
fully enough—
T nUA.,i,l ___ li It
. .'..VM.U IUVilll.711 11.
‘ Oh. you would prefer not to men
tion it, would you? And what have
you done to make you ashamed to
own it?" exclaimed Perkins, the house
maid. who was carried away by her
feelings at this point, in a tone of
triumph.
She had better have remained silent.
“Hold your tongue, woman,” was the
angry reprimand she brought upon
herself. “This is no business of
yours.”
Woman, indeed! A crowning insult!
And to be told to bold her tongue!
Her master, turning again to the
young man. repeated his question,
with the addition of the inquiry sug
gested by the last remark of the
woman Perkins.
“What have you done that you are
ashamed of your name?”
“Nothing,” was the proud reply,
given with head erect and defiant;
and there was something about the
manner and tone by which the other
was obviously impressed.
"Why, then, do you refuse to answer
the question I have put to you?” ha
asked In a milder voice.
“There are family reasons,” was
the answer.
Family reasons! A man servant with
family reasons, just as though he were
anyone else, instead of being a useful
sort of machine, hired out at so much
a year, with board and lodging! No
wonder there was something incongru
ous in the sound!
“I have nothing to do with your
reasons,” was the answer, “and I must
absolutely decline to retain any one
in my service under a false name.”
He knew' now that it was coming—
notice to leave on the spot. Or might
there not be a reprieve? He was
entitled to a month's notice In the
ordinary course of things. Oh. why
had he procrastinated so long and
wasted such gotaen opportunities? A
month's warning—that was all he
prayed for. A month?-—another day
was all he asked.
"Then you refuse to give me your
proper name? I ask for the last
time.”

EXPENSE OF COLLEGE MUSCLE.
Vast Sums Spent by Leading Ameri
can Universities.
The impressive totals of university
funds invested in athletic equipment
during the present year make the
outlay for developing the “sound
body” rival for endowment of classi
cal chairs and foundations, says Col
lier's Weekly. The University of
Pennsylvania is completing an ath
letic field and a gymnasium in one
magnificent quadrangle at a cost of
nearly half a million dollars. Har
vard has just thrown open a new field
called the "Stadium," at a cost of
$250,000.
A movement is under way at the
University of Chicago to endow ath
letics in order to remove certain ob
jectionable features of an admission
fee system to struggles for college
honors, ami a half million dollars is
the Amount needed to provide suffi
cient capital to maintain the varied
sporting interests of the institution.
Columbia has recently purchased real
estate valued at $2,000,000, a part of
which will be used for an athletic
field, according to present plans.
Princeton is building a gymnasium
which will rival in cost and elaborate
equipment any of her collegiate halls.
There are several preparatory schools
whose gymnasiums and fields added
within the last three years represent
an outlay of $50,000 each.

i THE IMMORTALITY OF [
] WASHINGTON’S NAME £
On every hand in this land and in
the uttermost parts of the earth, is
shown the respect in whicli the great
name of Washington is held. There
is no name in all the. world so honored
by Its geographical use. At the ex
treme north of Greenland is Washing
ton Land, and a little east of it is
Cape Washington. Then there is a
Washington in Oxford county, Ontario.
In the mid-Paciflc, south of Hawaii, is
Washington Island, and further south,
on one of the Fiji islands, is Mount
Washington. In Paris is the Rue
Washington, opening into the Avenue
des Champs Elysees.
Turn to the United States and you
will find 29fi Washingtons, which
means more than five for each state.
District, territory and each of the for
eign possessions. Of these, the first
that comes to mind is the national
capital, then the great northwest
state, and after these the numerous
subdivisions of the various states. In
Alabama there is a Washington coun
ty; in Arkansas, a county and a town;
in California, a county, two towns,
three townships, and to these are add
ed Washingtontown and Washington
Corners; in Connecticut there is a
town and a Washington Depot; in Flor
ida a town; Georgia, a county and
town; Idaho, a town: Illinois a coun
ty, a town, two townships, and to
these are added Washington Heights.
In this list the word “town” is used in
its broadest sense so as to embrace
everything from a hamlet to a city.
Indiana has a county, two towns,
and forty-three townships; Iowa, a
county, a town, forty-one townships,
and to these are added Washington
Mills and Washington Prairie; Kan
sas, a county, two towns, six town
ships, and a Washington Creek; Ken
tucky, a county, a town and Mount
Washington: Louisiana, a parish and
a town; Massaenusetts, a town and
Mount Washington; Maine, a county,
a town and Washington Plantation;
Maryland, a county, a town, Washing

ington, Michigan, a town, two town
ships. Washington Island and Wash
ington Harbor; Minnesota, a county,
a town, a township, and Washington
l^ake; Mississippi, a county and a

In Missouri is a great nest of Wash

in Westmorland county, Washington,
Washington lake; Wisconsin, a coun
ty, six townships. Washington Island
and Washington Harbor; Wyoming.
Mount Washington.
When one thinks of the monuments
to Washington, the first that comes to
mind is the mighty shaft in the capi
tal. Then there is the celebrated
marble statue in the central hall of
the Capitol at Richmond, by Jean An
toine Houdon, and not far awav the
imposing monument in Baltimore, sur
mounted by a colossal statue of the
patriot. There is no state, in fact
there is no city of any considerable
size, where Washington is not con
tinually kept in mind by ti.e same tab
let to his memory, and they are in
creasing now more rapidly than ever
before, since the Sons and Daughters
of the Revolution, the Colonial
Dames and the various other patri
ot Ic* organizations have begun their
work. These are seen in the granite
tablet under the Washington Elm, in
Cambridge, commemorating that event
of July 3, 1775. when the great general
took command of the first American
— 'M
army, anti in some statue or tablet in
nearly every town known to the thir
teen colonies, nntt in the hundred* of
towns and great cities (hat are now
the centers of prosperous communities
in what were then unknown lands.
Here are some answers from little
school children when they were asked
the question "Who was George Wash
ington?" “He was a great general
who whipped the British,” "He was
the first president,” "He was a good
man, who fought for his country,” "He
was tlte father of his country,” "He
was a brave man who said that this
country should lie free.” "He was the
greatest man, and Lincoln conies
next.” So it went, as the question
was put to a score oC children, and
from not one came an answer that
j showed ignorance.
EARL OF BUCHAN S TRIBUTE.
Sent Washington a Box from the Wal
lace Oak.
The New York Times published an
article in reference to the disposal of
the box made from the oak that shel
tered Sir William Wallace after the
battle at Falkirk, and giving the let
ter of presentation in which the Earl
of Huchan presented the box to Wash
ington. It seems that, the Earl of
Buchan, friend and patron of Robert
Burns, was so delighted with the
heroic part that Gen. Washington took
in the American War of Independence
that he showed his appreciation in the,
manner described.
The letter and box were intrusted
to the care of a Mr. Robertson, a
Scottish artist. Robertson arrived In
New York In October, and in Decem
ber went to Philadelphia to fulfill his
mission. This was in 1791.
On Friday, Dec. 13, of that year he
presented the box to the president.
"He was much embarrassed,” he said,
"on being introduced to the American
hero, but was soon relieved by Wash
ington. who entered into familiar con
versation with him. and introduced
him to Mrs. Washington." The Earl
of Huchan expressed the wish that he
might have a portrait of Washington
and that Robertson might be the
artist. Washington sat. to Robertson
for the portrait, in miniature, and
when that was finished the artist
painted a larger picture from it in oil
for Lord Buchan.
This picture was painted at the
close of May. 1792, when Washington
wrote to Icrd Buchan thanking him
for the present of the box, and saying
of the portrait: "The manner of the
execution of it does no discredit, I am
told, to the artist..” The picture was
sent to Europe by Col. I„ear, and Rob
ertson received the thanks of the Earl
of Buchan.
In his letter of thanks to Buchan,
Washington said: "I will, however,
ask that you will exempt me from
compliance with the request relating
to its eventual destination. In an at
tempt to execute your wish in this
particular I should feel embarrassed
trom a just comparison of relative pre
tensions and fear to risk Injustice by
so marked a preference.”
The box was taken to Mount Ver
non at the close of the session, where
it remained until Washington's death,
when he committed it to the Earl by
the following clause In his will:
"To the Earl of Buchan I commit
the box made of the oak that shelter
ed the great Sir William Wallace,
after the battle of Falkirk, presented
to mo by his lordship in terms too flat
| terlng for me to repeat, with a request
; to pass it, on the event of my decease,
to the man in my country who should
appear to merit it best, upon the same
conditions that have induced him to
send it to me. Whether easy or not
to select the man who might comport
with his lordship's opinion in this
respect, it is not for me to say; bnt,
conceiving that no disposition of the
valuable curiosity can be more eligible
than the recommitment of it to its
own cabinet, agreeably to the original
design of the "Goldsmiths Company"
of Edinburgh, who presented it to him,
and at his request consented that it
should be transferred to me, I do give
and bequeath the same to his lordship
and in case of his decease, to his
heir, with my grateful thanks for the
distinguished honor of presenting it
to me, and more especially for the fav
orable sentiments with which he ac
companied it.”

FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY.
Frauds in Watch Cases.
According to an article In the Cincinnati
Commercial, a fifty-one pound stone was
recently found in that city secreted in a
bale of bay of eighty pounds.
This is not us had as finding a lump of
lead of nearly one-hulf the weight of the
solid gold watch case secreted in the cen
ter of the case.
Gold watch cases are sold by weight,
and no one can see where this lead is se
creted until the springs of the case aro
taken out and the lead will bo found se
creted behind them.
These cases are made hv companies who
profess to bo honest but furnish the means
to the dishonest to rob the public. It is
not pleasant for anyone to fine that he has
lugged a lump of loud in his wutch ease.
Another trick the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stump the case
”U. S. Assay.” The United States does
not stamp any article made out of gold
and silver e::cept coin, and the fakir, by
using this stamp, wants to make the public
believe that thegovernmeut had something
to dowitli tile stamping or guaranteeing
the fineness of watch cases.
Another trick of the watch fakir is to
advertise a watch described as a solid gold
filled watch with a twenty or twenty-five
year guarantee. These watches are gen
erally sent C. O. I)., and if the purchaser
has paid for the watch he finds that the
Company which guaranteed the watch to
wear is hot In existence.
Tho Dueber-Hamnden Watch Company
of Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex
posing these frauds, will furnish the
names of the muuufueturers who aro m
this questionable business.
