AFTER MANY DAYS. CHAPTER KIL—(Continued.) After that one visit in Park Lane, Sir Cyprian Daveuent, had studiously avoided Mrs. Sinelain He had very lit- tle inclination for society, and although his friends, were ready to make a. fash- ionable Holt of him upon the strength of his African explorations, he had trength of mind. enough to refuse all manner of flattering invitation, and banunaerable introductions to people who were dying to know him. He took a set of chambers in one of the streets between the Strand. and the river, surrounded himself with the books he loved, and set about writ- ing the history of his travels. fie had o desire to achieve fame by book -mak- ing. but a man must do something with his life. Sir Cyprian felt himself too old or too unambitious to enter one ofi the learned professions; and he felt htmseit without motive for sustained in- dustry. He lead an inecauts t hat sufficed for all las desires. He would write his Ixeik, tell the world the wonders he had seen, and then go bark to Afric, . and see more wondera and eerha.ps leave his bones along the road, as some of his fenowetravelers had done. He heard of Consta.nce einclair—heard of her as one of the lights in fashion's sidereal system—hohling her own against all coxupetitors. Ile saw her onee or twice, between five and six on a June afternoon, ellen the earriages were creeping along t he Lady's Mile, and the high-mettled horses champing their bits and tugging at their bearing - reins in sheer desperation at being com- pelled to this snail's pace. Be sew Ler lookine her loveliest, and COnelluit.,1 that happy. She had all things that were me/zoned gold in her world. Way shoul.t he supp.ae there was any- theng %canting to liar content : The lawyer's letter whieh told lam of old Colonel Gryffin's death. wee t he will tich la(ietea.thed to bite the /link of the old man's fortune. found air Cyprien in his quiet chameers near tbe river, sleeking the cigar of peace over the last new t realise on methaphyeies by a Ger- inan Lady Davenant had been a Mies Gryffin, and the favorite niece of this ancient Anglo-Indian, Col- onel Gryffin, who hail lived arel died a bachelor. Sir Cyprian had a faint re- collection of seeing a testy old gentle - an with a yellow complexion at .Dav- enant in his nursery days, and having been told to call the ola gentleman "uncle," whereupon he had revolted openly and had declined to confer that honor upon such a wizened and tawny - complexioned anatomy as the little old gentleman in question. "My uncles are big," be said. "You're too little for an uncle." Seen afterward the queer old figure had. melted out of the home picture. Col- onel Gryffin had gone back to the Lin- colnshire fens, and his ancient missals and incunabula, a,nd leact lived so re- roote an existence that the chief feel- ing caused by his death was astonish- ment at the discovery that he had been eu lung alive. Me.eers. Dott & Gewann, a respect- able firm of family solicitors in Lin- coln's Inn, begged to inform Sir Cyprian Davenant thee his great-uncle on the maternal side, Colonel Gryffin, of Ho- bart Hall, near Hainmerfield, Lincoln- shire, had appointed him residuary lega- tee and sole executor to his will. Sir Cyprian was quite unmoved by the an- nouncement. .Residuary legatee might mean a great deal, or it might mean very little. Ile had a misty recollec- tion of being told that Colonel Gryffin was rich, and was supposed to squander untold sums on Guttenberg Bibles, and other amiable eccentricities of a book- ish man. He had never been taught to expect any inheritance from this ancient bachelor, and he supposed him for many years laid at rest under the daisies of his parish churtheyard. The residuary legateeship turned out to be a very handsome fortune. The missals and Bibles and antique Books of Hours, the Decameron, and the fine cad Shakespeare, were put up to auction— by desire of the testator,—and were sold for twice and three times the sums the old. colonel had paid for them. In a word, Sir Cyprian Davenant, who had esteemed himself passing rich upon four hundred a year, stood possessed of a hundred and twenty thousand pounds. It came too late to buy him the de- sire of his heart, and, not being able to win for him this one blessing, it seemed almost useless. James Wyatt was one of the first to congratulate Sir Cyprian upon this el:lenge of fortune. "A pity the old gentleman did not die before you went to Africa," he said, sympathetically. "It would have squar- ed things for you and Miss Clanyarde." "Miss Chtnya,rde made a very good marriage," answered Cyprian, too proud to bare his old wound even to friendly James Wyatt. "She is happy." Mr. Wyatt shrugged les shoulders dubiously. " Who knows?" he said. "We see our friends' lives from the outside, and, like a show at a fair. the outside is always the best part of the performance." This happened while Mr. and Mrs.Sin- clair were at Schoenesthal. Soon came the tidings of Baby Christs.beas fate, briefly told in a newspaper paragraph, arid Cyprian Da,venant's heart bled for the woman he had. once loved. He was not a little surprised when James Wyatt called upon him one day in No- vember, and told him he was going down to Davenant, where there was to be a houseful of company. "So soon after the little girl's death!" exclaimed Sir Cyprian. "Yes, it is rather soon, no doubt. But they would be moped to death at Davenant without people. Sack -cloth and ashes are quite out of fashion, you see. People don't go in for intense mourn- ing nowadays." " People have hearts, I suppose, even in the nineteenth century," said Sir Cyprian, somewhat bitterly. "I should have thought Mrs. Sinclair would have _telt the loss of her little girl very deep - bre, " We don't know what she may feel," returned Wyatt. "Gilbert likes his own way." "You don't mean to say tiat he ill- uses his wife r asked Sir Cyprian. alarmed. "111 -usage is a big, word.

I don't expect to find leer very lively now that she has lost ;the only being she really cared for. She absolutely worshiped that child." 1 This conversation gave Sir Cyprian Davenant material for much sad , thought. To know that Constance was enhappy seemed to bring her nearer to him. It brought back tbe thought of the old days when these innocent eyes had looked into his eloquent with un- conseious love, when Constance Clan- yarde hen given him her heart without thought for to -morrow, happy in the knoteledge that, she was loved, believ- ing her lover strong to conquer Fate ant Fortune. And he had brought the i•hely light of worldly wisdom, to bear on this dream of Arcady. He had been strong, self-denying, and bad renounced his own happiness in the hope or secur- ing hers. And now Fate laughed him to none with this gift of vain riches; and he found that lue worldly wisdom had hen supreme folly. " Weata elf -sufficient fool, what an !diet, I have been!" Le said to him- , nee in an agony of remorse. " And now what atonerueut can I make to her for , my folly ? Can I defend her from tb.e perta-proud snob she has been sold to?

Come and stay with me," added Lord Clanyarde, with heart- iness, not at all prepared. to be taken at his word. "I shall be chaxmed," said Sir Cyp- rian, to his lordship's infinite astonish- ment. People generally took his invitations for what they were worth, and declin- ed them. But here was a man fresh from the center of Africa., who hardly understood the language of polite so- ciety. CHAPTER KUL All went merrily at Davenant during the brief bleak days of Noventher and December, though the master of the house was not without his burden of secret carte and care. That magnifi- cent. iron and coal pre,ducing estate in the north had not been its quite so much bard cash as as owner ex- pected from it lately. Strikes and trade - unionism had told upon Mr. Sinclair's income. The coal market had fluctu- ated awkwardly. Belgium had been tapping the demand of iron. There was plenty of money coming in, of course, from Gilbert's large possessions; but unfortunately there was also a great deal going out. The Newmarket stables had cost a small fortune, the Newmar- ket horses had. been unlucky, and Gil- bert's book for the last three or four seasons had been a decided failure. "The fact is Wyatt," he remarked, to that confidential adviser, one dull afternoon, over a tete-a-tete game at billiards, "I'm spending too much mon- Have you only just found that out?" asked the solicitor, with a calm sneer. The purchase of this confounded place took too much of my capital, and these strikes anct lock -outs coming on the top of "Not to meetion your vicious habit of plunging," remarked Mr. Wyatt, per- ent hetically, taking a careful aim at the distant red. • "Have very nearly stumped me." "Why not sell Davenant t You. don't • want such a bigbarrack of a place, and —Mrs. Sinclair isn't happy here." "No." said Gilbert, with a smother- ed oath; "the associations are too ten - "1 could get you a purchaser to- morrow." " Yes, at a dead loss, no doubt. You fellows live by buying and selling, and you don't care how much your client loses by a transaction that brings grist to your mill." "I can get you the money you gave for Davenant, timber and all." "Who's your purchaser ?" "I'd rattier not mention his name yet awhile. He is a quiet party, and would- n't like to be talked about." "I understand. Some city cad who has made his money in the zoological liner "How zoological?" "Bulling and bearing. Well, if those beastly colliers hold out much longer, he may have Davenant and welcome. But he must take me new furniture at a valuation. I've paid no end of money for it." "What did you do with the old Ja- cobean oak?" "Oh, the old sticks are put away somewhere, I believe, in lofts and lum- ter-rooms and servants' bedrooms." Some of Mr. Sinclair's other guests dropped into the billiard -room at %his juncture, and there was no more said about the sale of Davenant. Nobody—not even his worst enemy and no doubt among his numerous friends 138 lead several foes—could deny Mr. Wyatt's merits as a guest in a coun- try -house. He was just the kind of man to keep things going—e past -mas- ter in all social accomplishments—and Gilbert Sinclair graciously allowed him to take the burden of amusing every body upon his shoulders, while the mas- ter of the house went his own way, ancl hunted or shot at his own pleasure. Mr. Sinclair liked to fill his house with people, but he had no idea of sacrificing his own inclination to their entertain- ment; he thought he did quite enough for them in giving them what he e1e- galatlY called "the run of their teeth." and the free use of his second-rate hunt- ers. On Mr. Wyatt, therefore, devolved the duty of keeping things going—devising the day's amusement;, protecting the Ladies of the party from the selfislaness of neglectful arid unappe.eoiative man- kind, arranging plonk luncheons in keepers' lodges, at watch the fair sex might assist, finding safe mounts for those aspiring .darusels who wanted. to ride to hounds, planning private theat- ricals, and stimulating the musical ro.embers of the society to the perform - awe of part songs in a business -like and creditable manner. He had done all these things last winter and the winter before, but on those occasions he lead been aided in his taste Constance Sinclair had given him her hearty co-operation. She had played her pert of hostess wit ia grace and snirit—bad allowed. no cloud of thought or memory to obscure the brightness of the present moment. She had given herself up, heart and soul, to the duties of her position, and her friends had believed her to be the hap- piest of women, as %tell as the most tortunate. To seem thus had cost her many an effort; but see had deemed this one of her obligations as Gilbert Sinciair•s wife. Now all was changed. Her husband had been obeyed; but that obedience was all which Constance Sinclair's sense of duty could now compel. She. sat like a beautiful statue at the head of her husband's table, she moved. about ftniong. her guests "with as little pert in their pleasures and amusements as if she had been a picture on the wall --courbanis to all, but familiar witif none, she seemed to live apart from her surrouudings—a strange and silent life, whose veil of shadow even sym- pathy failed to penetrate. Mrs. Mil - !amount, not unkindly, despite her fri- volity, heti tried to get Constance to talk of her bereavement, but the wound- etoduchite.art was galled by the gentlest "It's very kind of you," she said, di- vining her friend's motive, "but I'd rather not talk of her. Nothing can ever lessen nay grief, and I like best to keep it quite to myself." "How you mast hate us all for bein here!" said Mrs. Millamount, reeve with compunction at the. incongruity between the houseful of company and the mother's desolate heart. "It seems quite abominable for us to be tbinking of nothing but pleasure while you bear your burden aline." "Noleedy could divide it with me," aaewered Constance, ,eently. "Pray do not trouble vourselt about, my sor- rows, If I multi aide them better. I would. Gilbert likes to be eurrounded with pleasant fattes, and I am very glad that he should be pleased. "She's quite too good to live," re- marked the epriglelt. Mrs. Mill:amount to leer friend Lady Loveall, that even- ing. But do you know I'm afraid there's something a lit Ile wrong here," and lora Malane,,unt touched her ivory forehead suggestively with the tip of her Watteau fan. James Wyatt was net a sporteman. He was an excellent judge of a horse, rode well, and knew as much about guns as the men who were continually handling them, but he neither shot nor hunted, and he had never been known to speculate upon the turf. These things were for las clients—a very pretty way of running through hand- some fortunes and bringing their own- ers to the Jew—not for him. He could take his amusement out. of other men's follies and remain wise himself. Life to him was an agreeable and instruc- tive speetaele, which he assisted at as comfortably as he heard "Don Giovan- ni from hes stall in the third row; and when the foul fiend of insolvency whisked off one of his dearest friends to the infernal regions where bank - runts and outlaws inhabit, he felt what nice thing it was to be only a specta- tor of the great drama. Not being a spensm.an, Mr. Wyatt had a good deal of time to himself at Davenant despite his general useful- ness. There were rainy mornings when the men were out shooting, and the 'bus had not yet started for the point of rendezvous with the ladies and the lunitheon. These leisure hours Mr. yatt improved by strolling about the corridors, looking at the old pictures, Lor the. most lean, in that meditative mood in which a man sees very little of the picture he seems to contemplate, and occasionally by a quiet flirtation with alelanie Duport. That young pereon had plenty af leisure for peram- bulating the corridors between break- fast and dinner. Mrs. Sinclair was by no means an exacting mistress, and Melanie's life at Da•venant was one of comparative idleness. Her superior- ity of mind showed itself in a calm con- tempt for her fellow -servants, and she was rarely to be found in the servants' rooms. She preferred the retirement of her own bed -chamber, and a French novel lent her by that good-natured Mr. Wyatt, who had always a supply of the newest and worst Parisian litera- ture in his portmanteau. On this dull December morning, a day of gray clouds and frequent showers, Mr.111-yatt stood before a doubtful Vandyck,smok- ing meditatively, and apparently ab- sorbed in a critical examination cia Prince Rupert's slouched beaver and ostrich plume, when Melanie's light, quick step and tripping French walk at the other end of the gallery caught his ear. He turned slowly rotund to meet her, puffing lazily at his (agar. ' Eh, labelle," he exclaimed, 'event an English December does not dim the luster of these southern eyes." "I was barn in the Quartier Latin, and my parents were all that there is of the most Parisian," answered Me- laine, scornfully. "Then you retest have stolen those eyes of yours from one of the Murillos in the Louvre. What news, little) one?" "Only that I find myself more and' more weary oe this great barrack." "Come new, Melaine you must con- fess you have a goad. time of it 'here." Oh, as for that, perhaps I ought not to complain. My 'mistress is very( gentle, too gentle; it gnaws me to the heart to see her silent grief. That preys upon my mind." Here Melanie squeezed out a tear, which she removed from her pearl -pow- dered cheek—a very sallow cheek under the powder—daintily with the corner of a hem -stitched hankerohief. "You are too compassionate, little one," said ].tr. Wyatt, putting his arm round her waist consolingly. Perhaps he had gone a little too far with these leisure _half hours of flirtation. He had an idea that the girl was going to be troublesome. Tears augured mischief. "C'est donamage," murmured Me- lanie; "I have the heart too tender." "Don't fret, my angel. See here, pretty one, I have brought you an- other novel," taking a paper -covered book from. his pocket. ::Beol,otZti Ne." "I don't want it. I wo'n't read it. Your novels are full of lies. They de- scribe men who will make any sacrifice Lor the weman they love—men who will take a peasant girl from her hovel, or a f;risette frdra her garret, and make her a queen. Theta are no such men. I don't believe in them," cried the girl, passionately, her eyes flash- ing fire. eleoret be angry, Melanie. Novels would be dull if they told only the truth." "They would. be very amusing if they described m.en of your pattern," re- thrted Melanie, "Men wilt) say sweet things without meaning theta, ev/e0 flatter every woman they talk to, who turn a foolesh girl's head with their p.retta epeeolaes and caressing ways,' and then laugla at her folly. Yee, esi you are laughing at tee," cried Melame, exasperated by arr. Wyatt's placid "1lle. "No, my sweet, I am only admiring you," he, replied, calmly. "Whet have. I done to ruse this tempest ?" "Whet laave you done?" cried Me - Janie, and then burst into tears, real tears this thus, which serious1y. dare - aged the pearl -powder. "I am sure I don't know Ivey I ebould care se much for you.

Melanie allowed herself to be appeased by this rather vague speech, but she was only half convinced. • "Tell me only one thing," said she, "Who is that lady I saw at Sehoenes- that 1 and why were youso anxious to please her?" James Wyatt's smooth face clouded at this !question. "She is related to me, and I knew she had been lased badly. Hush, my dear, walls leave ears. There are things we mustn't talk about here." "Nahat is the lady's real name?" "Madame Chose. She comes of the oldest branch of the family—aatogether grande dame, I assure you." "I wish he would take me into her service." "Why, you.are better off here than with her. (To Be Continued.) SECRET SIGNALS. IIOW Detectives Sometimes Capture Noted Criminals. To a blind horse, of course, a nod. is as good as a wink, But to the Intel- ligent detective, either of these trivial gestures, even when directed apparent- ly at no one in particular, will frequent- ly speak volumes. This fact being recorded by an indi- vidual who is himself one of the invalu- able publie servants referred to, furth- er on the subject was re- quested. In what way was the nod or mink of a criminal so productive of in- formation? Said the, officer in answer: To illus- trate to you wbat I mean, I'll tell you of an instance where a seemingly un- important action on the part of a coin- er s confederate led. to the capture of the whole gang. The men were known to be at work somewhere in a certain ettee and. au individual who, living in respectable lodgings, posed as of lade- itendent means, was suspected of being in league with them. To me AVOS intrusted the task oe "shadowing" this man. Every day he took a long, rambling walk about the town, but, follow him as I woald, noth- ing transpired. Then, one night when I 'was thinleing the matter over, the fact occurred to me that, in th.e course of his daily preambulations, the sus- pected man, sooner or later, invariably paasea down ONE PARTICULAR STREET. Next day, wben as usual he came to this familiar strip of highway, I watch- ed him more closely than ever. Nearing the bottoni of the street, he took out bis handkerchief and blew his nose. Next day entering the street from the other end, at precisely the same hour and spot he repeated the evolution. Over his ha-ndkerchief I saw his eyes fixed upon a top floor window across the road. At that moment the window opened, a hand shook a duster from it, and disa.ppeared. TWO evenings later the whole "plant" was seized in that very room. The criminals' telegraphic code had been intercepted. By night the favorite method of sig- nalling is by the lighting up; of pipe, cigar, or cigarette. 1 knew a case where an evil -door used to get his in- structions from head -quarters while standing in a doorway lighting a weed. The directions were whispered to hire tbrough the letter -box by his chief with- in the house. A young man, suspected of uttering bad money, was kept under observa- tion for some days, Instead of being at once arrested, in the hope that his con- federates would thus be discovered. His lodgings had. been secretly searched, and it was quite clear that in the actual making of the. money he had no hand. The question was:. Where did he get his supplies erom? Following hire one afternoon, the de- tective saw him stop a passer-by, and ASK FOR A MATCH, It was supplied, the pipe lighted, and. the match -box returned. Shortly af- ter the suspected man changed a piece of bad. money. The following day, in another place, he again asked a pedestrian for a li. ere ana again planted a spurious coin. these seeming strangers really in league with the man, and in this way supplying him with the counterfeits? They were On the third day, taking a companion with him, the detective was able to effect a neat double capture when the individual "shadowed" again impor- tuned the very man of wig= two days before he had borrowed a light. The brace of miners had, it seems, taken it in turns to go into the genets armed with a match -box for spurious sover- eigns, which latter was aelroitly pass- ed over to theo• "outside agent" with the- pipe -light. That's what I mean about the orim- inals' nod and wink, concluded the ob- liging officer. And 1 daresay many a time when yoa have noticed an andivid- ual innocently enough give a cough, button or unbutton his coat, or drop a walking -stick or umbrella, you've un- consciously witnessed a little happening that has relay as much ineanuer as a whole page of shorthand.

She was trampled under the• hoofs of four horses, drawing a heavily laden feed car of the Madison avenue street car line, and rzun over by the wbeels of the cart, which severed one of leer legs almost completely from her body. Miss Former displayed most wonder- ful tau& during the trying ordeal of getting her from beneath the car. The partially severed limb and her strong bicycle clothing were so entaugled in the iron work and caught under the front wheel tbat it was necessary Lo lift the car before she could be extri- cated. Noting. the anxiety of the men whey were tryuag to release her, Miss learner said, in a voice which was re- markably strong :—"Now • be brave, men. If y ou are to save me you must get me out of. this soon, but be cool. be brave." As Miss Porrier was laid upon the sidewalk, a surgeon, who was present, decided to remove at once the left leg. The stroke of the knife was not made without Miss Porrier's knowledge. "You have token my leg off, doctor," she re- marked, when the operation was over. "Well, I want that leg to go in the am- bulates with me," she added, and then, suddenly placing both hands to her head and missing her hat, she exclaim- ed:—"Why, my hat is gone; will some one please get it?" When her hat was handed to her, Miss Berner put out her hand for it, and actually attempted to straighten oat the battered sha,pe, while the sur- geon bandaged her limb and dressed her other numerous injuries. An hour a.nd a half after admission to the bospital Miss Porrier died, She remained conscious up to within half an hour of her death. Does Miss Gushingtores father look with" favor on your suit ?
