CHAPTER IV. Continued.
Loft to myself, I was thinking out
my plan of campaign as regarded
Agatha Third when n slight noise in
tho back of tho room attracted my
attention. I looked up, startled, for it
was late, and tho large, dimly lighted
drnwlng room was rather an eerie
place, and saw over the back of my
chair the Blight form of tho secretnry
approaching. Her hair was ns neat
as usual and her dress was the samo
simple gruy gown sho wore when I
had seen her first.
"I beg your pardon, Mr. Terhuno,"
sho said, timidly, yet without hesita
tion, "am sorry to disturb you, but
would you have the goodness to glvo
mo a little of your timo?"
"Certainly," I replied, rising,
"though tho hour Is late. Won't you
be seated?" and I found her a chair.
Tho secretary leaned back against it
and folded her hands.
"I shnll be quick," sho said; "but I
want to ask you something." Sho
spoko In a low voice, but with perfect
composure, though she never lifted her
eyes. I caught myself wondering
whether she cast them down habitual
ly, so that people might observe tho
length of her black eyelashes.
"Yes?" I said, to oncourago lior.
"Of course, you know Lord Vincent
very well, don't you?" As sho naked
mo this direct question sho looked mo
full In tho face, and ns my oyes met
hers I mentally thanked her for her
mercy in not often permitting mnn to
gazo into them.
"Yes," I said, recovering myself, "I
know him very well."
"And ho tells you things, doesn't
ho?"
"Most things," I replied, wondering
at what sho was driving.
"Then could you "tell me, please, If
if ho accepted Miss Agatha tho
one with tho hazel oyes that you call
Agatha Fifth when she told him she
loved him?"
I was uevcr more astounded in my
life. How did sho know that Agatha
Fifth had told Vincent sho loved him,
and how did it concern her? Porhaps,
however, sho was acting under Mrs.
Armlstcad's orders, but if so sho ought
to have said so.
"That's a question of a vory personnl
nature," I said, and eyed her search
ingly; "but I don't think Lord Vincent
would mind, as long as you know so
much about it, if I toll you that ho
refused the young lady who was Indis
creet enough to ask him to marry
her."
Tho secretary gave a sudden start,
and then, by what seemed to bo con
siderable effort, regained control of
herself.
"Ho refused hor,". I continued for
tho girl and her questions ind hor
genuine feeling Interested me "al
though sho told him sho was tho real
Honornblo Agatha." I was so proud
of Vincent for that that I was glad
to be ablo to tell someone about It.
"Sho said that and ho rofiiBcd hor?"
repeated the girl In nn awed tono.
"How could ho do it, how could ho?"
"Then it was true? Sho Is really
tho daughter of Fletcher Hoyd?" I
cried eagerly. At last I had stumbled
upon the truth, for I knew thu secre
tnry was in tho secret.
Hut sho only smiled at mo. "You
nro a good man," she said, "a good
man."
Tho room was growing chilly and
tho flro was getting low, and as sho
spoke sho slipped down from tho high
chair and seated herself on n llttlo
stool at my feet, stretching out her
slim hands toward tho blaze. "I thank
you," sho said, simply, nud gazed Into
tho flro a moment, while I gazed at hor
slendor young figure, hor pink and
white skin, straight, llttlo nose, nml
wide, red mouth witli its Ou Maurler
chin and all In a niomont I felt my
wt pitying tho poor llttlo girl. Vln
ent was such an attractive yaunir
scamp, lie might be playing fast and
louse with her affections without In
tending it or realizing Hint ho was
doing so. Involuntarily 1 leaned to
ward her.
"My dear young lady,'" I said, and
as I spoke I caught myself thinking
her really good looking. "If sho only
did her hair decently," 1 thought, "I'd
cnll her n beauty, 1 really believe I
should." "My dear young lady," I
said, "tell mi' In conlldenco and per
haps I can help you. Do you er aro
you er or Interested in Lord Wil
fred? If, so. allow me, 1 conjure you, nny,
I beg of you, to put all thought of him
out of your head. He doesn't mean it,
but ho is a grnceless young flirt. Ho
doesn't mean a word he say's. Let
mo warn you be advised "
I stopped short. In the midst of
my well-mount flow of words, I stopped
short, for, could I believe my eyes,
tho secretary was laughing at me.
"My denr old man," she said sho
did, actually "my dear old man, your
warnings arc superfluous, for I am n
married woman," nnd, still laughing,
she left the room.
CHAPTER V.
Alone, I sat for n moment speech
less with astonishment, as thu secre
tary left the room, and, as I took my
way slowly and thoughtfully upstairs,
I resolved that this was another thing
thnt I would not tell Vincent; ho
would bo far more likely to ridicule
mo than to thank mo for my effort In
his behalf.
Some time after this, on a perfect
day, Agnthn Third and I I had spent
almost every hour since tho dinner In
hor company, I may remark had
planned a little excursion which would
keep us outdoors all day. Wo were
going on a picnic up tho llttlo river.
Have you over tried a picnic for two?
(tlvcn the right companion and a day
like thnt, I'd warrant It to cure any
attack of the blues. Agatha Third had
assured me that tho prettiest spot for
our luncheon wns a llttlo Island In tho
center of tho stream where tho current
ran broad and deep, about three miles
below tho castle.
Tho day wns fair, tho girl was fairer,
and the moments were full of joy to
me. Wo had crossed n llttlo bridge
about n lnllo from the castle and were
proceeding up tho left bank of the
river when n sudden turn of tho stream
brought two others of our houso party
"Tell Me In Confidence and Perhaps
I Can Help You."
Into view. On the opposite bank wns
Vincent In high boots, knockorbockors,
whlto shirt with sleeves rolled up, and
a farmer's broad-brimmed hat of
straw. Ho was busy over a broken
Ashing rod which ho was trying to
mend. In tho center of tho stream,
whore the current ran swift and dan
gerously deep, a girl stood on a largo
bowlder, flBhlui$ Other bowlders nt In
tervals between tho ono sho was stand
ing on and tho shore whero Vincent
was Indicated tho menns by which sho
had attained her precarious position.
I recognized the girl ns Agatha Sec
ond, and smiled pityingly as I thought
of poor Vincent, Invnrlably wasting his
tlmo with tho wrong Agatha.
"Hullo!" thoy cried, cheerfully, and
wo waved our hands and asked them
what luck they'd had. This isn't al
ways a safo question to nsk a fisher
man, but I notlco that peoplo who nro
not Ashing themselves Invnrlably find
great satisfaction In asking It. Vin
cent said lie hadn't caught any Ash,
nnd asked If I'd landed mlno yet. Just
llko IiIb Impudence! Ho'd say any
thing If ho thought It was funny, no
matter how It might annoy other peo
plo. Just ns I was thinking of some re
tort pollto onough to utter aloud,
Agatha Second's rod began to bend
and jerk, nnd Immediately thero was
so much action going on that In my ex
citement I forgot what I was about to
say. I nm n fisherman of somo skill
myself. Well, tho polo began to bond
and tho Agatha on tho rock begnn to
scream, und Vincent shouted direc
tions from tho bank "Easy thero,
easy," ho entreated her; "give him
moro lino, Aggie, moro lino."
"I can't!" sho screamed at tho top
of her voice; "something's caught, and
ho pull3 so."
"Tho reel!" I shouted, Jumping up
and down. "Tho reel! Prosa tho knob
and let her go!"
I know In a moment tho sort sho
had. It was jUBt llko mine, a patent
ono with a spring reel initio often
stuck that way. All this tlmo tho
AbIi waB leaping about, sometimes
Jumping out of tho water so that wo
could see him, and ho was n big fol
low. "Lot mo nlone; I can do It myself,"
cried the girl, as Vincent startod to
help her, but even ns sho spoke hor
trim little foot slipped on thu wet
stone, and, losing her balanco com
pletely, ahe fell backward Into tho
deep water, while the rod disappeared
upstream.
in a moment Vincent was running nt
top speed along tho bank till ho rnnio
to a llttlo point of laud near which tho
drowning girl must pass. As sho ap
proached ho leaped Into the water,
and. sti Iking diagonally upstream,
seized her by her clothing, nnd, fight
ing his way back, safely gained tho
point of land. Meantime I had run
up tho river toward a boat that I had
observed near the hank. Jumping in
I soon reached tho spot whero lay tho
unconscious form of Agatha Second.
All this tlmo I was dimly awaro of tho
fact that Agatha Third had never
stopped screaming and wns now run
ning up and down' on the opposlto
bank sobbing and Wringing her hands.
When I reached Wilfred ho was anx
iously bending over tho girl, but ap
parently without tho slightest Idea
what to do.
I Immediately fell to chafing her
hands and resorting to tho other well
known expedients for reviving tho
drowned, and to enable' her to breathe
moro freely I removed tho tlght-llttlng
dickey of her sailor suit. It was not
long hefoie sho began to regain con
sciousness, nnd It wns at this mo
ment that I made a most amazing dis
covery, for around tho neck of tho
girl I saw n little silver chain, and
on It was strung a heavy gold ring set
with a large cioss of old-fashioned em
eralds. 1 called to Vincent, and ns I pointed
nt the mnmitllcent nnd telltale piece
of Jewelry we both gazed at It,
speechless with surprlso nt discover
ing In such a mannur the secret of tho
Honorable Agatha's Identity. Ileforo
sho bud quite regnined her conscious
ness I readjusted her dickey, nnd
when she was nblo to stand wo
wrapped her In our coats and carried
her to the boat. Thero wasn't room
in it for more tlinn two, so I mado
Vincent get In with her nnd row back
to the castle. So thoy left us, and
Agatha Third and I, too thoroughly up
set by the accident to wish to carry
through our picnic, followed thom
bnck, walking ono on each aldo of tho
stream until wo reached tho bridge,
whero we joined forces.
Ab we returned I did a grcnt deal
of thinking. So It was Agatha Second,
after all, who wns tho real Honorable
Agatha. For cortalnly hor possession
of tho Wyckhoff ring, mentioned in
tho will, wns proof positive. Now that
I thought of It, tho suspicious circum
stance of Agatha Third's seemingly in
voluntary rising when Vincent tonsted
the Honorable Agatha, admitted of
many explanations. At nny rate,
whatever her reason for her action,
tho presence of tho Wyckhoff ring on
tho neck of Agatha Second had proved
to mo tho fnlslty of that other clow
and tho Identity of our fair but mys
terious hostess.

HEART BEATS GIVE WARNING.
Irregular Action That Presage At
tack of Scarlet Fever.
Tho scnrlet fever henrt is a pe
cullarlty latoly noticed for tho flrsi
time, by a German medical man.
With tho stethoscopo It Is recognized
by a reduplication of tho Arst heart
sound, followed by a rough rasping
or scraping, and this appears at tho
onset of many cases of scarlet fover,
often when no other symptoms aro to
bo detected. In somo epidemics theso
sounds may bo heard in tho majority
of casea, while at othor times thoy
may bo quite regularly absent. Tholr
presence Is of great valtio in diagnosis
and may bo tho only warning signal to
guard against tho spread of Infection.
A boy who was pale, languid and
anaemic had no other .symptoms ex
cept tho'lrregular heart sounds. From
these his case was decided to bo scar
let fever nnd subsequent pooling of
tho skin proved tho correctness of tho
diagnosis. Certain children In tho
chlckeripox wnrd of a hospital were
restless and obviously 111. Tho heart
sounds Indicated scarlet fovor, and In
theso cases, too, desquamation fol
lowed, although thero had been no
eruption or other sign. Directly nfter
ward this ward had nn outbreak of
scarlot fover in its usual form.

"Why can't you spenk English?" de

Ono of tho guests flushed with anger
nnd ventured to reprovo Froeman,
calling his attention to tho respect

paying tribute to Mr. Mncnilllan's ro

Comment and Suggestive Thought.
David had fitted himself for tho
kingship. Ho had almost Ideal qual
ities. Hut ho needed training by less
or and easier tnsks for tho great, en
during, glorious kingdom he was to
create and rule. Hence, for seven
years ho wns fnlthful ovor a few
tilings in order thnt ho might rule
well over many things.
Havltl wns now HO years old. He
had had a chcckoied llfo for tho last
ten years; but ovcry hour of it wan
n part of IiIh preparation.
It takes a great variety of experi
ences to make us completo nnd lilted
to do tho greatest good. David h llfo
was Ailed "with tho strangest vicissi
tudes twinging trough an arc thnt em
hi need much If not all of human ex
perience. Edward Irving finely says
of him, 'Every angel of Joy nnd of
sorrow Bwept, ns ho passed, over the
chords of David'B harp, and tho hearts
of n hundred men strove nnd struggled
together within tho narrow continent
of his ' Blnglo heart.' "Professor
Moorehead.
Hebron, tho Cnpltal, was ono of tho
most ancient cities In tho world, Hit
tinted In n high, mountainous region,
11,300 feet nbovo tho sen. It was easi
ly dofended. It wan far enough from
tho Philistines nud from tho northern
tribes to bo safo. It was In u region
familiar to David in IiIh exile, und
where ho himself was well known.
Hebron hnd been the home of his an
cestor Abraham. In tho sldo of n
neighboring "ravine was tho cavo of
Machpelah, whero the fathers of the
nntlou slept In God." Isaac and Re
bekah had lived hero. Near by wna
tho tho brook Eschol where grew tho
luxurlnnt vino from which Uie Bples,
moro than four centuries before, had
cut down tho fnmoiiH clusterB. SnyB
Professor Hlalkle, "To llvo In Hebron,
nnd not feel faith quickened to now
llfo, would have Indicated n soul dead
to every Impulse of patriotism nnd
piety."
V. -1. "Tho men of Jtulah . . .
anointed David king." TIiIh was tho
public ceremony of coronation. Tho
kingdom camo to him, not only by
divine nppolntment, but by choice of
tho people thomsclwB (v. 7;1 Chron.
ll:l-:i.) Tho two coincided.
David Reigned at Hebron seven nnd
one-half years (2 Sam. fi:5), in a quiet
and peaceful manner, growing in fa
vor with God und man, and laying the
foundations for his great work of con
solidating nnd lccoiistructlug tho na
tion. David neenmo King In the Host Pos
sible Wny. (1) He did not seek the
olllce, but tho oflloo sought him. V.
1. "Then camo nil tho tribes of Is
rael to David." They camo by their
elders (v. II), representing, according
to 1 Chron. 12:2:1-40. 339,600 wnrrlors.
Thoy gave good roasoiiH.
(2) Ho wob Saul't nnturnl successor,
being his son-in-law; and to muko this
moro evident, ho insisted that his wife
MIclial who hal been taken away from
him by Saul, should bo returned to
him. They said "Wo aro thy bono
nnd thy flesh," both by race and by
nlllanco with their royal house.
(3) Ho had proved himself n strong
nnd worthy leader, both as wnrrlnr
nnd statesman. Thoy recnlled hlH
splendid feats of arms when nil tho
tribes woro ono kingdom. V. 2. "Thou
wast ho that leddest out," etc. All
through ills past llfo, slnco tho con
flict with Goliath, David had shown
generalship, wisdom, skill, forbear
ance, courage, knowledge of men, nnd
trust In God.
(1) IIo wns divinely appointed, tho
ono whom God saw to bo tho best ono
to bo their king "tho Lord said to
thee." Tho man whom God chooses
for an office Is the man tho peoplo
need.
(5) lie hnd the right Ideas concern
ing tho duties of n king. "Thou Bhnlt
reed." Literally, "Thou ehnlt shop
hord;" n natural metaphor to express
tho ruler's enro for his peoplo. It 1b
used by Greek poets, o. g Homer,
whoso regular titlo for Agamemnon 1b
"Shepherd of tho peoples.' Cam
bridge Hiblo. Tho truo king, over truo
ruler, seeks not to obtain all ho can
from tho people, but to do all ho can
for them; not to plunder tho sheep,
but to shepherd them. David well
knew whnt was meant
(G David's wns a constitutional mon
archy, not a despotism.
Practical Pohito.
David wns u flno examplo of Christ's
parables of tho talents und tho pounds.
Faithfulness in lesser tilings Is tho
only way to hlghor and better tilings.
David waa now hearing tho Lord's
"Weil dono, good nnd faithful ser-'
vant; thou hast been faithful over a
fow things, I will mnko theo ruler over
many things," (Matt. 25:21).
To bo king over ourselves. "Ha that
ruloth his own spirit Is greater than
ho thnt tukoth a city."
A Syrian proverb runs, "Escnpo
from self Is better than escape from a
lion."
