Giles Dudley arrived in San Francisco to join his friend and distant relative Henry Wilton, whom he was to assist in an important and mysterious task. and who accompanied Dudley on the ferry boat trip Into the city. The re markable resemblance of the two men Is noted and commented on by passen gers on the ferry. They see a man with snake eyes, which sends a thrill through Dudley. Wilton postpones an explanation of the strange errand Dudley is to per form, but occurrences cause him to know it is one of no ordinary meaning. Wilton leaves Giles in their room, with instruction to await his return. Hardly has he gone than Giles is startled by a cry of "Help." Dudley is summoned to the morgue and there finds the deao. body of his friend. Henry Wilton. And thus Wilton dies without ever explaining to Dudley the puzzling work he was to perform in San Francisco. In order to discover the secret mission his friend had entrusted to him. Dudley- continues his disguise and permits himself to be known as Henry Wilton. Dudley, mistaken for Wilton. Is employed by Knapp to assist in a stock brokerage deal. Giles Dudley finds himself closeted in a room with Mother Borton who makes a confidant of him. He can learn nothing about the mysterious boy further than that it is Tim Ten-ill and Darby Meeker who are after him. He Is told that "Dicky" Nahl is a traitor, playing both hands in tlte game. Giles finds himself locked in a room. Dudley gets his first knowledge of Decker, who is Knapp's enemy on the Board. Dudley visits tho home of Knapp and is stricken by the beauty of L.ue!la. his daughter. He learns the note was forgery. He Is provided with four guards. Brown. Barkhouse. Fitzhutrh and Porter. t He learns there is to be no trouble about money as all expenses will be paid, the hire of the guards being paid by one "Richmond." The body of Henry Wilton is committed to the vault. Dudley re sponds to a note and visits Mother Bor ton In company with Policeman Corson. CHAPTER XIV. Continued. The four men within the room sa luted me gravely and with Mother Norton's direction in mind I had no hesitation in calling each by his name.. I was pleased to see that they were ro bust, vigorous fellows, and soon made my dispositions. Brown and Bark house were to attend me during day light and Fitzhugh and Porter were to guard together at night And. so much settled, I hastened to the office. No sign of Doddridge Knapp dis turbed the morning, and at the noon hour I returned to the room in the house of mystery that was still my only fixed abode. All was apparently as I had left it except that a letter lay on the table. "I must get a new lock," was my comment as I broke the seal. "This place is getting too public when every messenger has a key." I was certain that I had locked the door when Cor son and I had come out on the even ing before. The letter was from my unknown employer, and read: "Richmond has paid the men. Be ready for a move at any moment Leave your address if you sleep else where." And now came three or four days of rest and quiet after the merry life I had been leading since my arrival in San Francisco. In the interval I improved my time by getting better acquainted with the city. Emboldened by my body-guard, I slept for two nights in Henry's room, and with one to watch outside the door, one lying on a mattress just in side, and a new lock and bolt I was free from disturbance. Just as I had formed a wild idea of looking up Doddridge Knapp in his home, I came to the office in the morning to find the door into Room 16 wide open and the farther door ajar. "Come in, Wilton," said the voice of the King of the Street; and I en tered his room to find him busied over his papers, as though nothing had oc curred since I had last met him. "The market has had something of a vacation," 1 ventured; as he failed to speak, "I have been out of town." he said j shortly. "What have you done?" "Nothing." He gave a grunt of assent "You didn't expect me to buy up the market, did you?" The yellow-gray mustache went up, and the wolf-fangs gleamed from be neath. "I reckon it wouldn't have been a very profitable speculation." he replied. Then be leaned back in his chair and looked meditatively at the wall. "Have you heard anything more of Decker?" he asked. "I've heard enr-igh to satisfy me that he's the man who got the Omega stock." "What other deal is he in?" asked the King of the Street "I don't know." The King of the Street smiled indul gently.. "Well, you've got something to learn yet. I'll give you till next week to find the answer to that question." I was convinced from his air that he had information on both these points himself, and was merely trying my knowledge. "I .1 not be back before next Wednes day," he concluded. "Going away again?" I asked in sur prise. "I'm off to Virginia City." he re plied after considering for a little. "I'm not sure about Omega, after all and there's another one I want to look into. You needn't mention my going. When I come back we'll have a cam paign that will raise the roof of every Board in town. No orders till then unless i telegraph you. That s all." The King of the Street seemed straightforward enough in his state went 2f plans, p.nd it did net occur to me to distrust him while I wa3 in his presence. Yet once more in my of fice, with the locked door between. I began to doubt and tried to find some hidden meaning in each word and look. CHAPTER XV. I Am in the Toils. "Welcome once more, Mr. Wilton," said Mrs. Doddridge Knapp, holding out her hand. "Were you going to neglect us again?" "Not at all, madam," said I with un- MWWWMWWWWWWMWWWMWMMWWWMMMWMWW blushing mendacity. "I am always" at your command." I had received a letter from Mrs. Bowser setting forth that I was wanted at the house of Doddridge Knapp, and her prolixity was such that I was un able to determine whether she or Mrs. Knapp or Luella wished to see me. But as all three appeared to be con cerned in it I pocketed pride and re sentment, and made my bow with some nervous quavers at the Pine Street palace. As I was speaking I cast my eyes furtively about the room. Mrs. Knapp interpreted my glance. "She will be in presently." There was to my ear a trace of mocking laughter in her voice as she spoke, but her face betokened only a courteous interest. "Thanks I hope so." I said in a lit tle confusion. I wished I knew wheth er she meant Luella or Mrs. Bowser. "You got the note?" she asked. "It was a great pleasure." "Mrs. Bowser wished so much to see you again. She has been singing your praises you were such an agree able young man." I cursed Mrs. Bowser in my heart. "I believe there was some arrange- J2EALyi&ES4ZZ. IJlKrj?&E ment between you about a trip to see the sights of Chinatown. Mrs. Bowser was quite worried for fear you had forgotten it, so I gave her your ad dress and told her to write you a note." I had not been conscious of expect- Inir anvthinr fmm mv vtalt tuit a itila bit of information I found that I had been building air-castles which had been invisible till they came tumbling about my ears. I could not look, for Miss Knapp's company on'such an ex pedition. "Oh." said I, with an attempt to con ceal my disappointment, "the matter had slipped my mind. I shall be most happy to attend Mrs. Bowser, or to see that she has a proper escort" We had been walking about the room during this conversation, and at this point had come to an alcove, where Mrs. Knapp motioned me to a seat v "I may not get a chance to talk with you alone again this evening," she con tinued, dropping her half-bantering tone, "and you come so little now. What are you doing?" "Keeping out of mischief." "Yes,, but how?" she persisted. "You used to tell me everything. Now you tell me nothing." "Mr. Knapp's work " I began. "Oh, of course, I don't expect you to tell me about that. I know Mr. Knapp, and you're as close-mouthed as he, even when he's away." "I should tell you anything of my own, but of course, another's " "I understand." Mrs. Knapp, sitting with hands elapsed in her lap, gave me a qutcK iook. But mere was something else. You were telling me about your adventures, you remember. You told me two or three weeks ago about the way you tricked Darby Meeker and sent him to "Serria City." And she smiled at the recollection of Darby Meeker's discomfiture. "Oh, yes," I said, with a laugh that sounded distressingly hollow to my ears. "That was a- capital joke on Meeker." "How did it turn out?" asked Mrs. Knapp with lively interest "Did he get back?" 1 decided promptly en a judicious amount of truth. "Yes, he got back boiling with wrath and loaded to the guards with threats that is, I heard so from my men. Ik didn't see him myself, or you might have found tho- rest or it in the newspaper." "What did he do? Tell me about It" Mrs. Knapp gave every evidence of ab sorbed interest " " f .BHBBBBBBBVOBDByrvPMsH aaaaaaHaaaaafaf faf ih '! I Ok. S M sVABrBBBBBsKSSGri i'lriHIL BaaaaaaaaOTfTaV Ell Jt "Well, he laid a trap for me at Bor ton's, put Terrill In as advance guard and raised blue murder about the place." And then I went on to give a carefully amended account of my first night's row at Borton's, and with an occasional question Mrs. Knapp had soon extorted from me a fairly full account of my doings. "It is dreadful for you to expose yourself to such dangers." I was privately of her opinion. "Ohi that's nothing," said I airily. "A .man may be killed any day by a brick falling from a building, or by. slipping on an orange peel on the crossing." "But is dreadful to court death so. Yet," she mused, "if I were a man I could envy you your work. There is romance and life in it, as well as danger. You arc doing in the nine teenth century and in the midst of civilization what your forefathers may have done in the days of chivalry." "It Is a fine life," I said dryly. "But it has its drawbacks." "But while you live no one can harm the child," she said. There was inquiry in her tone, I thought I suppressed a start of surprise. 1 had avoided mention of the boy. Hen ry had trusted Mrs. Knapp further than I had dreamed. "He shall never be given up by me," I replied" with conviction. "That is spoken like a true, brave man," said Mrs. Knapp with an ad miring look. "Thank you," I said modestly. "Another life than yours depends on your skill and courage. That must give you strength," she said softly. "It does indeed," I replied. I was thinking of Doddridge Knapp's. life. .. . "But here come Luella and Mrs. Bowser," said Mrs. Knapp. "I see I shall lose your company." My heart gave a great bound, and I turned to see the queenly grace of TSEALFGIN' TOZZSCFyDU. Luella Knapp as she entered the room in the train of Mrs. Bowser. Was 'it fancy, or had she grown paler and thinner since I had last seen her? surely those dark hollows under her eyes that told of worry and lost sleep were nbtuhere when her bright ness had chained my admiration. "Luella!" called Mrs. Knapp. I fancied she gave a low, musical laugh as she spoke, yet the glance showed me that her face was calm and seri ous. "Luella, here is some one you will like to see." Luella Knapp turned and advanced. What was the look that lighted :edupher eye. Be- face and sparkled from her JU8T AS GOOD AS MONEY. Amos Budd's Little Contribution the Church. to Stories have been told of buttons, tacks and various extraneous sub stances found in contribution boxes, but it is seldom that a church-member strikes a blow so severe as was that delivered by Ann 5 Budd of Por terville on one cccas on. It was at the close of a missionary sermon that Mr. Budd, whose wont was to contrib ute ten cents to each of the charities to the support of wh'ch the church I fUlhsprihori vaa conn tn talrn 1m blne slip from nIs ..et and look t it keenly and affectlmately. When. After a slight but evident hesitation he dropped the slip, carefully folded, into the box, Deacon Lane, who was passing it could hardly refrain from an exclamation of joy. "The Lord will bless you, Brother Budd." he said, when the sermon was over, hurrying down the aisle to overtake the pros perous grocer. "I hope so," returned Mr. Budd, dryly, "but I'm afraid you cal'late on that being a check that I dropped in the box. It wa'n't 'Twas a receipted bill for kerosene the church owed me last year, and it had been overlooked. Of course it's jest the same as money, though, when you come to that" Youth's Companion.

A flush passed over her face and died away as she came. "You honor our poor house once more?" she said, dropping a mock courtesy. "I thought you had desert ed us." "Not I," said I stoutly, holding out my hand. I saw there was a little play to be carried on for the, benefit of Mrs. Knapp. For some reason she had not confided in her -mother. "Not I. 'I ai always your humble knight" I saw that' Mrs. Knapp was looking at us curiously, and pressed my ad- vantage. Luella took my hand un willingly. I .was ready to dare a good deal for the clasp 'of her fingers, but I scarcely felt the thrill of their touch before she had snatched them away. "There's nothing but pretty speech es to be had from you and quotations at that," she said. There was malice under the seeming innocence of a pre tended pout "There's nothing that could be so becoming in the circumstances." "Except common sense,"- frowned Luella. "The most uncommon of . qualities, my dear," laughed Mrs. Knapp. "Sit down, children. I must see to Mr. Carter, who is lost by the portiere and will never he discovered unless I res cue him." "Take him to dear Aunt Julia," said Luella as her mother left us. "Dear Aunt Julia," I inferred, was Mrs. Bowser. Luella took a seat and I followed her example. Then, wjth chin in hand and albow on the arm of her chair, the young woman looKeti at me calmly and thoughtfully. "Well," said Luella at last, in a cut ting voice, "why don't you talk?" "It's your lead," said I gloomily. ?You took the last trick." At this reference to our meeting, Lu ella looked surprised. Then she gave a little rippling laugh. "Really," she said, "I believe I shall begin to like you, yet." "That's very kind of you; hut turn about is fair play." "You mustn't do that," said she se verely, "or I shan't." "I meant it," said I defiantly. "Then you ought to know better than to say it," she retorted. "I'm in need of lessons, I fear." "How delightful of you to confess it! Then shall I tell you what to do?" This was very charming. I hastened to say: "Do, by all means." The young woman sank back in her chair, clasped her hands in her lap as her mother had done, and glanced hastily about Then in a low voice she said: "Be yourself." It was an electric shock she gave me, not mpre by the words than by the tone. I struggled for a moment before I regained my mental balance. "Don't you think we could get on safer ground?" I suggested. "No," said Luella. "There Isn't any safe ground for us otherwise." The sudden heart-sickness at the remainder of my mission with which these words overwhelmed me, tied my tongue and mastered my spirits. It was this girl's father that I was pur suing. Oh, why was this burden laid upon me? Why was I to be torn on the rack between inclination and duty? Luella watched my face narrowly through the conflict in my mind, and I felt as though her spirit struggled with mine to win me to the course of open,--honest dealing. But it -was Im possible. She must be the last of all to know. Her eyes sank as though she knew which had won the victory, and a proud, scornful look took the place of the grave good humor that had been there a moment before. Then, on a sudden, she began to speak of the the aters, rides, drives and what-not of , the pleasures of the day. Suddenly she stopped with a weary look. "There's Aunt Julia waiting for you," she said with a gleam of ma licious pleasure. "Come along. I de liver you over a prisoner of war." "Wait a minute," I pleaded. "No," she said, imperiously motion ing me. "Come along." And with a sigh I was given, a helpless, but si lently protesting, captive, to the mer cies of Mrs. Bowser. That eloquent lady received me with flutter of feathers, if I may bor- iVkW fia AVnrAoalnn 4 a IndtAAA !.. p,easilre. (TO BE continued.) GREAT SLAUGHTER OF WASPS. Curious Custom That Prevails in West moreland, England. A strange custom Is observed year ly in the small hamlet of Week, in Westmoreland. England, in commemo ration of an incident that happened in the year 1841. That year there was a plague of wasps and many per sons throughout the country succumb ed to the poisonous stings. The lit tle hamlet holds the record for its number of victims, and in memory of the occurrence a memorial tablet was erected on the moor there. Now each year there is a procession. Most of the inhabitants turn out. carrying in sect powder and other devices for kill ing, wasps, and march to the memorial stone, where a short service is held by the minister of the parish. When the service is over a general crusade, is made in search of wasps' nest3, which are immediately destroyed. Some carry guns, some rags saturated in turpentine, while others carry par affin, which is poured into the nest and a match applied. The anniversary is "considered the most important event of the year. Plenty of Work. The patron who was reaching the brotherly stage leaned over the bar. "Mike," he asked, "what will all you fellows do when local option strikes you?" "Oh, there'll be plenty of work," responded Mike, cheerfully, "digging ditches to extend the water mains."
