"Tell Dr. Girard a member of the American family of Asforbilt is pres ent, and desires to transact some very important business with him." says the representative of M. Prefect, in French. The man becomes humble, and In vites them in; he looks curiously at Bob, into whose elbows each of the others has crooked an arm, just as though he is used to .such sights, and immediately guesses that it is on this person's account these gentlemen come to the Retreat by n!?ht. When he has seated them in what appears to be an office or study, he leaves the room. They pass a few words of caution, but keep their po sitions, Bob standing between the chairs of the others, his arms folded in defiance, and with the attitude of a Napoleon in front of his judges. Ah! someone comes probably the proprietor of the Retreat the three make ready to play their parts it will only be for a little while, as they in tend to surprise the worthy Girard with some Western tactics of strat egy. The doctor is a man of excellent frame he has the appearance of a modern Hercules, and no doubt has more than once found an opportunity to indulge in his power, when caught in a personal encounter with a desper ate patient, male or female, made dou bly strong by the malady that robs them of their brain forces. "M. Girard, I believe," says the agent, in French. "At your service, messieurs. I un derstand that one of you is M. Astor bilt. I have heard much of the name, and feel highly honored to have one of the family call upon me," with a 'bow in the direction of Dick, who can only with difficulty repress a smile as his eyes take in the important atti tude which Colonel Bob has assumed, one hand thrust into the bosom of his coat, the other under his coat-tails, much as an English country squire might stand before the fire on the hearth. It is now Dick's time to enter into conversation, and this he docs with the dignity that should distin guish the representative of a great American family, relating an imagi nary story of the affliction that has come upon him. afflr-4. Mm Tumbles the Keeper Over in a Heap. "You keep people here who are in the way of others, I believe?" "Sir!" "I mean who are believed to be out of their mind demented, of course." "That is the object of this noble in stitution. We aim to cater to the mind diseased, but I am sorry to say only a very small per cent ever re cover." "Your terms, monsieur?" "One hundred and fifty francs s week," doubling his ordinary price for the occasion. "Is that all? I would not consent to paying less than two hundred." "Oh, monsieur is too kind." "I would demand the best room." "The finest In the Retreat is at your service." "And the best of care. If my poor cousin could be brought to reason, I would pay fifty thousand francs." "H'm!" grunts the soldier on pa rade, which sound is meant for his comrade, though he does not venture to look that way. "But I suppose he will always re main what he is now. a crazy, love sick fool," with an emphasis that makes Bob wince and shake his fist at Dick behind the doctor's back. "Ah! you are indeed liberal it is a pleasure to work for such a master. You may be surprised if I claim that reward some day," exclaims the de lighted M. Girard, who has readily fallen into the trap. "I shall be, indeed," returns Dick. "And now a favor." "Eh?" "We are naturally interested In your great establishment we would look around and see what arrangements you have for the reception and enter tainment of your guests." "Willingly, messieurs. While we do this I shall have your unfortunate rel ative confined in a cell near by." says the doctor, and Bob again winces, thougrh not by the quiver of an eyelash doec he betray the fact that he hears. Dlik does not appear too anxious about this. "Perhaps it would be just as well to allow him to accompany us, doctor. He Is never violent, and often talks of crazy people, for whom he has the utmost contempt It will do no harm, and may bring about good to let him go." "As you say. Monsieur Astorbilt yon best know his abilities and his weakness. If you will follow me, gen tlemen, I will show you the model establishment of Paris." It looks as though M. Girard might be suspicious of Bob perhaps he thinks it best to be well prepared, for I mum TlSEWTi fT-tami (COf&PJ5ffT.J8SO!. &frS72BTe31?m an ounce of prevention. In connection with these crazy people. Is worth much more than a pound of cure. At any rate, he signals to one of his keep ers, a brawny .fellow, who ajcompa-. urea mem m uieir ruunas. The doctor shows them this sec tion and that, and all comment on the cleanliness that is patent everywhere. Really this is a model institution, so far as neatness is concerned. The owner puffs out with pardonable pride under the praise which they bestow upon him. Then comes the crucial test they pass by a corridor that undoubtedly leads somewhere. Dick makes a move as if to enter. "Not that way, please, monsieur!" exclaims the doctor, laying a hand on his-arm. and the man's alarm is shown on his face. Instantly Dick realizes that this is the passage they seek, and he is de termined that it shall be investigated, no matter at what expense of time and trouble. He frowns, as he says: "M. Girard, I trust you have no se crets from your patrons. I have heard much of the horrors of these estab lishments, but, as yet, I am pleased to state, have failed to see anything of the kind about your bouse. If I leave anyone In your charge, I must be sure there is no chamber of torture under this roof. Assure me of that." "Indeed, monsieur, down yonder cor ridor are only some cells that I am re modeling. When they are done they will be the best in the house." "M. Girard, I have made up my mind to see every foot of this build ing," resolutely. , "I am sorry to appear stubborn, but I am obliged to refuse your request, M. Astorbilt" It Is evident from the doctor's man ner that he has already taken the alarm and that nothing can be gained by delay. "I am a man who will never take no for an answer. Tou will open that gate, M. Girard, you will show us what lies beyond, or it will be my duty 'to use force." The signal has been given Fran cois already has a revolver in his hand, while the Sheriff of Secora County has drawn his ferocious-looking bowie. which he flashes before the eyes of the keeper, and puts him into a cold perspiration. "Treachery!" gasps the doctor, aghast at these signs of warlike ac tion. The agent of the prefect opens his coat and discloses the magic symbol of his power. "You see we are backed by the ma jesty of law, M. Girard. I come direct from the office of the prefect Fran cois is my name Number Eleven. Now you will open that gate?" "I refuse," replies the doctor, sul lenly. "Very well. M. le Colonel, watch this man, please," and Francois turns to the keeper. The sight of the silver badge sets the fellow to trembling as though he had the ague, and when the same or der is given to him he obeys, in spite of the doctor's counter-commands. Now that the corridor is open to them, Dick turns to the others, ready to advance. "Remain here and look after the prisoners I will examine the place alone, and I believe those we seek are beyond," he says, quickly. M. Girard looks black in the face he may have a fit before long unless appearances are deceptive. To be thus bearded in his own den is a new ex perience to him. "Wait for me," cries Dick, and with that he Immediately plunges dwn the corridor that M. Girard wishes to keep sacred from invasion, the corridor that undoubtedly has some secret con nected with it which he Is bound to unearth. Dick keeps his eyes about him, and as the corridor is lighted he can see his way. A thrill of expectancy per vades his whole being at the antici pation of doing Miss Pauline another favor, which she will of course put down to his credit , Already he can hear terrible sounds that grate upon the nerves; from one cell comes bubbling, fiendish laughter, from another shrieks as of a lost soul in the grasp of Satan, while here and there at the gratings appear hideous faces with disheveled locks, that look like demons from beyond the Styx. Earnestly, eagerly, does Dick push forward, his eyes turned to the right and the left in search of some clew that will bring him nearer that which he seeks. He has probed the corridor half-way when a man suddenly rises before him, a man who is evidently a keep er, judging from his appearance, and the bunch of keys dangling from his girdle. Dick' has neither the time nor in clination to parley with the fellow, who, seeing a stranger thus Invading the most sacred recesses of the Insti tution, shows signs of war, but rush ing directly at him. he tumbles the keeper over in a heap, much as a squall might throw a vessel on her beam-ends. A sudden inspiration causes Dick to tear loose the belt from which are suspended the keys, and armed with these, he -continues his forward move ment determined to find Miss Pauline if he has to open every door in fbe house. In the midst of his hurried search he is suddenly electrified by hearing his own name called in accents of sub lime entreaty. "Mr. Denver! o Mr. Denver! this way, come this way!" Thus speaks the voice that can only belong to the irrepressible but now thoroughly terrified Dora. He whirls instantly, to see her face behind the wicket of a stout door; she beckons and still calls, but there is no danger that Dick will pass on. He is Immediately at the door It Is fastened, but the key Is In the lock he" turns it and pushes open the door. As he does so, the figure of a man, who has a demoralized appearance, bounds past him with a cry of satis faction, as though glad of an oppor tunity to escape from what has been a tight place. Dick, in that one glance, recognizes the Mexican hidalgo, but he has not the time to pursue the mine-owner, his attention being whol ly taken up with the interior of the cell and Its inmates. A lamp hung in a bracket Illumi nates the apartment. He sees a table, upon which lie pa per, pens and ink some sort of a doc ument has been drawn up for the New York 'girl to 'sign, but it looks as though Senor Lopez must have met with a more stubborn resistance than he expected. (To be continued.) SPREADING OF SCARLET FEVER. Infectious Agent Retains Its Vitality For Incredible Time. In a farmhouse in one of the New England states a case of scarlet fever unexpectedly developed not long ago. On seeking for its origin, the physi cian found that some old cotton quilts, laid away in the garret for years, had recently been taken down and aired and put to use by the family. These bed coverings, it was remembered, had been put away after a siege of this disease. This is only one of many instances that could be related to show how long the infectious agent retains its vitality and how common a thing it is for scarlet fever to be dis seminated by bedding and other ob jects. These quilts should have been burned as soon as the first patients had recovered. The children of a certain physician were one day allowed to unlock an antique secretary that had not been opened for years. In it they found tresses of hair that had been cut from the head of children who had died twenty years before of scarlet fever. In a few days they were both stricken with this dread disease. The ease with which this disease is dissem inated is appalling. It has been known to be spread to a neighboring house simply from the airing of bed clothing In a window. Infected bed clothing should never be washed with any oth er. The disease has been transmitted in this way. A bouquet of flowers that was sent from a scarlet fever room to a hospital carried the disease. Emma E Walker in Good House keeping. FAILED TO MAKE HIS "POINT." Prompt Reply of Judge Disconcerted Lawyer. Some years ago there arose in Lynn, Mass., an important law case bearing upon the right of a labor union em ploying a "banner boy" to patrol at the front of Patrick Sherry's shoe factory on Munroe street Upon the banner was printed a "warning" to workmen to keep away from the Sherry factory, as a strike was in progress. Mr, Sherry reasoned that the work of the "banner boy" was an invasion of his rights, there fore the boy was arrested. The case was appealed to the supe rior court The Hon. John R. Baldwin was counsel for the labor union. Judge Aldrich was hearing the case. Mr. Baldwin sought to make a ludicrous point of the very diminutive "banner boy," and said to the court: "Your honor, look upon the culprit!" The judge promptly responded: "I am looking. What of It?" Mr. Baldwin was so suddenly taken aback at the sharp response of the judge that it was some little time be fore he recovered his usual compos ure. Mr. Sherry won his case. The Language of Cards. "My Queen!" cried the enraptured swain, pressing hereto his heart "Jack, my own Jack!" murmured the maiden. "One, two three," chimed the clock. "Diamonds are lustreless beside your eyes," whispered the lover. "They are all yours, my King!" came the cooing response. "Four!" said a bass voice on the floor above. A flush crimsoned the maiden's cheek as "six, seven, eight, nine, ten," she counted the kisses straight "I wish I had a club," said the bass voice on the stairs. "The deuce!" cried the lover as the parlor door opened. And, as he cleared the garden gate, old dog Tray, follow ing his lead, came within an ace of his calf. Gen. Wheeler's Dreams. Several days before Gen. Joseph Wtieeler died and at a time when he was occasionally irrational he sat up in bed one evening and said to the nurse: "When does the firing begin?" To humor him the nurse replied: "The firing will begin at 9 o'clock, general." Gen. Wheeler leaned back In his bed, apparently resting. At five minutes to 9 o'clock he reached over for his watch, noticed the time and took from the table near his bed a small bunch of absorbent cotton. The nurse was watching him, somewhat puzzled by his actions. Very deliberately Gen. Wheeler plugged both ears with the cotton. Then he leaned back is his bed again and went to sleep.

The edge of Death Valley, where annually many treasure hunters have perished In their search for gold, was the scene of one of the most pleasing Incidents In the initial trip of the Los Angeles Limited. The shadows ot night had fallen upon the desert when that point was reached on the home ward run, and the thoughts of most of the eastern newspaper representatives In the brilliantly illumined train were centered upon their far-away homes, wondering what the little ones were doing probably yearning to be with them. While they were thus engross ed Santa Claus was busily engaged planning a surprise; and a delightful surprise it proved to be. When everything was ready the guests of the Union Pacific Railroad Company were called into their spe cial car, a state-room door swung back on Its hinges, and there stood reveal ed a Christmas tree, glittering with tinsel and filled with presents, one or more for each guest As his name was called each stepped forward and was handed a pretty souvenir, to which was added a large glass object encasing a generous sample of Cali fornia's justly famed vintage. This delightful little incident relieved such mental tension as had existed, for it was a manifestation of the true Christ mas spirit that was appreciated as much as it had been unexpected. It was one of the touches of "nature that make the whole world kin," for it served to bring still closer together the entertainers and the entertained on the initial trip of the Los Angeles Limited. For this reason, grewsome as its reputation is, Death Valley will always be associated with a pleasant memory In the minds of the news paper representatives. ''Telegraph Gazette," Pittsburg.
