I hurried, along for shelter to the inn, to Mrs. jenkyns. fouud that lady la the midst. a a hubbub eaused by the arrival of d plc- nio party, who wereoccupyina'. her large bacle room. and all demanding te be served immediately. Oh, it is you., miss. --just go 01) - stairs to noy room till, the rain is over. I am so busy, 1 den't know which way to turn.' I went up -stairs as directed. The ina was an old-fasioned square sort of building, three stories in height, Mrs. jenkyns' mom was on the first Dor. On the flat above the rooms were sel- dom ueed, except -when the inn was full, which was oeot often. I had heard Mrs. Glass speak of the view of the Manor grounds to be obtained from 'the upper windows; and. as Mrs. jerk- kyns would not object to my taking the liberty, I left nay parcel and um- brella in her room and, proceeded to the upper story. There were three rooms looking to the back, Former- ly,there had been hilt two; a wooden • partition had, however, been erected, dividing the larger room, and, hoax- ing a, small bedroom facing the stair. It was this room bate which I catered. I glanced trona the wind -ow: the rain was still pouring steadily. In the dis- tance I save nearly the, entire grounds of the Martor. The trees of the aven- ue hid the }mese itself; but the river winding round behind it and. the lit- tle, island not far from the house were visible. A person with a. small tele- scope or opera, glass could easily have distinguished people walking in the grounds. I thought the view would be even better from the window of the room to the right, and I was about to go into it, when I heard.heavy footsteps below on the first stair. I did not think of the persons ascend- ing to the upper story, yet I paused to listen, 1 could hear the voices of two men as they ascended. They did not stop at the first landing, but were evi- dently coming higher. I did not wish to be disturbed, and. hastily turned back into the room and slipped the bolt into the socket, afraid lest they might be the worse of liquor, Their heavy footsteps drowned the noise] made. At the second landing the ian turned into the rooni to the right. The partition between being of wood, I could distinctly hear every word of 'their conversation. ' You are sure we cannot be over- I heard here, Jacob ? said one of them t in a. voice the smobth tones of which I did not like. 'Perfectly certain. I am the only one on this flat, and. they axe all en- gaged. down -stairs; but I will look and. see, in case. I selected this room because of the view. Look! You can• see nearly the entire Manor grounds, with the exception of the little bit near the river on the turn, and the gardeoi at the back of the houseavhich are hidden by the big close hedge di- viding them from Farmer S iell's grounds. -1 will be back in a minute.' I heard him leave the room, walk along the landing to the room on the left, and next try the door of the room wheee I was. There wore two rooms to the front, which he also examined. There is no one here but ourselves,' he said to his companion. 'The room next to us is locked, and. there is no one in the others.' ' Well,' said the other man, you can tell me now how matters stand. You sa,y you sent on word to headquarters this morning. I left shortlyafter mid- day, before your letter arrived. I was fortunate in meeting you so near your inn; I was afraid. you might be away somewhere: would have been, but for this cc,nfounded rain, which drove me home. -The game is nearly played out, jack. Our bird is caged to a cer- tainty: 'No!' cried jack in a tone of sex- prise.-' Then he is here, after all. - Have you seen him?' 'Not near enough till yesterday to be able to swear positively to him. But I ara now certain it is he, and no one else. He never coones outside the grounds, and tbere is no biding -place near enough the house to allow one to get a close view. There is some shrubbery near to the gate where one can hide; from that place of con- cealment I have seen him frequently at a distance strolling about the grounds in convexly with his old fossil of an uncle, or with that little gover- ness or companion, or whatever she is. How I have laughed to nayeelf when I saw them going about, to think how, if ray suspicions were correct, the lit- tle companion would stare when she found it all out. Yesterday, he came very near the shrubbery in his walk, and. I got a proper look at him. It is he beyond a doubt; and a very good- looking girl he raakes.' I sat as if turned into stone. T./rail OAS last sentence was uttered, the idea, that their tonversetii on n any way affected myself had not dawned upon me. Now, a dreadful suspicion that / was only too closely connected with it almost overwhelmed no. Bag- erly 1 strained every nerve to catch their next words. 'How did you niana,ge it 7 I naean, how did you get on the scent at first?' 'Easy enough.

You will, of course, wait here to -night and see the fun to -morrow morning. You • can have the roona next mine.' would have given anything to have been safe home at the Manor. My Maths trembled so that I could hardly stand. Everything was now clear to me. • Miss Selwyn was Mrs. Farquhar- ' nephew, jack Vanburgh, in dis- guise! I had often heard of hionthou,gh I had never seen him; but I knew his aunt saw him sometimes when she went to Lon.don, and, that she hadsent home money from India. for his eche, cation, he having been left an orphan early. Till lately, he had lived with an uncle, a bachelor brother of his fath- er's, who had died some four months ago. Since that time he had been in lodgings. Trembling like a criminal going to execution, I stole down -stairs after the men lett their roam. What if they should observe me and suspect S They were still about the premises. Mrs. jenkyns, too, might seer something which would reach their ears. I de- termined to effect ray exit by this back way, and out at the garden gate into the little lane beyond. In this I was successful. I got out of the inn. un- observed. The rain had ceased; but I was in no mood to care although it had been pouring. My thoughts were concentrated on reaching home with- out •delay. Something must be done to save Miss Selwyn, -or rather Mr. Vanburgh. I felt my face redden aa I thought how frequently I had al- lowed the pseudo Miss Selwyn to kiss me; and I could now understand the half -frightened looks of Mrs. Farquhar- son at these times. The use of the ra- zor and the smoking of the cigars were now no longer to be wondered at. 1 reached the Manor in a whirl of excitement. The hall door was open and I raa,de my entrance unobserved I was afraid my looks might have ex- cited comment. Even amulst my agi- tation, I had hurriedly thought over a plan by which the detective might be foiled, if only it could he managed. We had yet a little time to spare. 'My dear girl, what is the matter ?' Mrs, Farquharson cried as I bounced unceremoniously into her sitting -room, 'You look as if some one wee after ycou.' 'Where is Miss Selwyn ?-Mr. Van - burgh, I mean ?'-I cried breathlessly. '0 Mrs. Farquharson, we must save him, They have fooled out he is here, and are going to apprehend him and take him to prison,' I thought she would ha,ve fainted, she turned so whitee hut she c,onaraa,nd- ed herself with a violent effort, ' Calm yourself, and tell me all, Naomi', she said soothingly, taking in the sotuaa tion at Once, 'Miss lielavyro--that is, jack -is up -stairs,' Hurriedly I related, all that had me ettrred, to Whieli she listened with ateained attention, 'aa are a good, brave qirl, Naomi!' she said. when I had timehed.

' Your plan is admirable, child,' said Mrs. Farquharson,, kissing me ferv- ently.-' jaek, she has thought of everything.' 'I will go and. write at once, then.' I' said,' if you will order tea without delay.' (To Be Continued.) FRANCE'S CHILD CRIMINALS. Astonishing letereaee of Juvenile Offenders Attracting L80 AttellttiOn of Public Men. Statistics prove that there has been a. very rapid uncrease of crime and mis- demeanor among children in France. A learned professor of law and a raem- ber of the Society of Prisons has stud- ied the question during a period of fifty years. From 13,000, the nuniber of criminal minors in France has stead- ily increased, until it has now attained the enormous number of 38,000; that is, an increase of 300 per cent. The average age ot initiation into erime is growing leas anct less in years. • M. Rend joly, a crimotologiet, sees a remedy in the eatoreeinent of the law of compulsory education,. He cites what has taken plaee in Great Britain, where in 1891 'close upon one hundred thousand prosecutions Were made against persons who did not send their children tci school. Out of the number 68,000 were punished. In France dur- ing the same period, there were but 500 persons prosecuted, and few' Pun- ished. A judge in Paris, who has pronounc- ed sentences on many children, blames the public for its sensitiveness, its false ideas of pity anni its illusions. Chil- dren who commit a crime should be severely punished, according to him. Parisians are ever inclined to forgive, and there is a widespread feeling that pernicious influence of houses of cor- rection, which are merely factories of criminals, is the main cause of the sad state of things among minore. Ribbon Work. Ribboros woven in and out in 'basket- work fashion furnish a resource for those who are tired of embroidery and want quicker and easier employment for idle fingers. They are thus used for pincushions, handkerchief and night robe sachets, and for sofa cushions.

"After cutting a lining of silk," says an adept, "the shape and size you desire, you must tack alternate rows ef different colored satin ribbons as close together as possible, beginning at the top of the lining, and cutting the rib- bon off into lengths as you finish each row. Then begin to weave the two colored ribbons in and out over the dark and under the light one way, reversing the order in the next now, so that squares are formed," The handker- chief sachet illustrated here is of pale blue satin ribbon and slider braid, orthe same width.

The physiolan is Dr. Abu Terry, reeiciellt Medieal ()Meer of the Royal Surrey COUxity Hoepi tel. • Meal' it oareful examination of a great number of cases that were placed in his eharge, Dr. Terry notieed a curious re- semblance in the appearance of the tongue, On further observation he be- came convin.ced that the tongtee of a pa- tient suffering from the grip took on a distinctive appearance, which might be it'eleieddisease. So indicate the presence of h This discovery promises to he [an im- portant one, as it has hitherto been very difficult to make a satisfactory diagnosis of inflaenza. The disease is so much like a cold in many of its manifestations that even the most eare- ful practitioners have been, misled by the symptoms. It is customary with aome physicians to examine the blood of Ole patient In order to determine wheth- er the influenza or grip bacillus is pres- ent. But the trouble with this test is that it is not known whether the true grip bacillus has been found. Dr. Terry has discovered that in the early acute ,stage of the disease the tongue ia covered as a rule with whitish or grayish fur. This layer may be so thin thet the pink substance of the tongue shows through it. The (Mama tertstie feature, however, of the dis- ease is the presence of dark purplish red spots or elevations scattered all over Ole tongue, These spots are rather larger than a pin's head. At the back of the tongue there are several large elevations, varying in size fromthat of a pin's head to a split pea, or even larger. When the tongue is coated with white f ar the red spots produce an appearance known as the white strawberry tongue. When there is no fur the appearaiace is more like a red. strawberry. At a later stage these red spots turn into pinkish white jelly-like dots. In chronic cases, where the patient has got through the worst of it the tongue still shows quite characteristie signs. It is usually of a deep red or purplish color, is fairly clear or sometimes slightly covered with a grayish or brownish fur. The purple spots are o longer to be seen, their place beinng taken by transparent white dots, which are rather larger than those of the earlier stages. This order of changes in the appear- ance of the tongue is not always the same in every patient. The purplish spots may remain throug-bout, but in the majority of cases the description holds good. In every ease of grip, how- ever, one or other of the conditions of Ole tongu.e is present. Besides these changes in the toupee, small white dots may be seen on the mucus reerabrane of the lips and cheek. The throat is usually toand to be dry and red, As the patient gets better the spots or vesicles become less and. less pro- nounced, and finally, when he is well, they eompletely disappear. A DELIBERATE SUICIDE, Peter' eh:Geode the Speenletor. Could Not Bear Domestic Scandal, A despatch from Wilwaukee. Wis., says :-Peter 1VIcGeoch, capitalist,known throughout the country as a daring speculator and keen financier, shot him self on Wednesday naorning at his home on National avenue, just outside of Ole city. Mr. 1VIcGeoch was found dead ID the bathroom of his hou-se. He had placed the muzzle of a revolver in his mouth and fired. The bullet took .an upward course and penetrated the brain. His domestic troubles undoubt- edly led Mr. Me.Geoch to take his life. It was announced that Mrs. McGeoch was about to baing suit for divorce on the ground of incompatibility of tem- per, and it is well known to their ac- quaintances that the married life of Mrs. and Mr. MeGeoch was not happy. They have lived apart for some time. Mrs. McGeoch was a Mrs, Libby, of Henwood, a suburb of Chicago, wben she married Mr. McGeoch eight years ago. Her forst husband was a well- known Chicago Board of Trade mar and pork packer. Their friends b. Milwaukee, with the assistance ol their attorneys, tried to effect a sets dement of the couple's differences, bel without success. Mr. McGeoch was a man who had experiences, many .re- verses, and gone undaunted through trials that wouldhave ,broken dowr most men. Domestic scandal was mor than he could bear, and the cause of his suicide was no doubt the making public of the fact of the impending di-vorce. When Baby was sick, we wave her Oastoree.

This pas an end to a very dangerous situation, for there is no doubt that the powers would have insisted upbn having the extra gun- boats here, even if it had bean necessary to force the passage of the Dardanelles in order to get them here.
