CHAPTER XVI,
It was the morning or my second
day in Naples, and no news had
reached me of 'Kennard, or of the
roan from whose dagger his tneteor-
like dash through the railway ca
ringe at Pisa had saved me, I had
putt up at the Hotel Victoria on the
Parthenopo Quey, ivhenee I cuuld
watch the blue waters of the beauti-
ful Gulf for the coming of the Queen
of Night, and all through the day
after ney arrival I bad been thrown
into a fever every time the smoke of
an Incoming steamer appeared on the
horizon, But I was doomed to dis-
appointment ; none of the vessels
seeking harbor proved to be the
graceful craft which the detectiv
had called a "murder -trap.""
my impatience was becoming al -
meat unbearable. Not only did 1
chafe against the delay in the ar-
rival of the ship, but I feared from
Kennard's absence that some harm
had befel'., him, and that unaided I
should netor be dblo to cope with
the Miliet:Ines that beset me. Acting
on the melee he had given, I had
abandoned disguise and resumed my
own garments before engaging a
room at the hotel, and I was be-
ginning to consider whether my
best course would not be to confide
my position and anxiety•to the Eng-
lish Consul, in the hope that he
would be more helpful than his col-
league at Genoa. Osco I put an my
cap to go to the Consulate, but the
thought of the stone cell at the Con-
vent of Santa Lucia overcame me,
and I turned again to vainly scan='
ning the sky -line beyond the Bay.
In the ot'dinary course the Queen
of Night should have arrived at
Naples early on the previous day,
and as the weather was ens and
calm the delay was quite inexplic-
able. It was now eleven o'clock in
the forenoon, so that she was nearly
thirty hours overdue, which, unless
something had happened, was out of
all proportion to any legitimate de-
tention hi so short a voyage. To my
other anxieties began to be added
wild thoughts of collisions, fire,
shipwrecks, and a hundred other
perils of the deep.
At last I reached such a pitch
that to stay kicking my heels about
the hotel and staring out to sea
wes no longer possible to me. 1
decided to go down to the quays
and endeavor to find some one who
could aid my inquiries by interpret-
ing for me, 'and glad to be up and
doing anything I sallied forth at
once. Passing through the Via
Gioja, I chanced to notice a name
over a doorway which filled me with
a sudden inspiration—the name of
the agent whom Nathan had men-
tioned as his correspondent in
Naples, one Signor Girolamo Volpe.
If any one in the city was likely to
be able to give news of the ship,
this was the man, and at all risks
I determined to try hint.
I say all risks, because there was
every probability that if he know
who I was he would serve my en-
emies rather than myself by taking
steps to curtail my liberty, Vizard,
if still a free agent, having seen me
00 my way south, would have, been
certain to apprise their correspond-
ent of the fact, with instructions to
throw obstacles in my way, if no-
thing worse, and it would not there-
fore be safe to make inquiry in my
own name and person, As I was
still wearing the mercantile uniform
in which 1 had gono ashore at
Genoa, I went first to a clothier's
and bought a ready-made tourist
suit, changing into it, by permission
of the proprietor, in a room behind
the shop, Then, having given in-
structions for my uniform to be
sent to the hotel, I returned to the
Via Gioja.
The offices of Mr. Giralamo' Volpe,
though in a large and handsome
building, were not themselves on a
lordly scale, consisting, so far as I
was able to fudge during my brief
acquaintance with them, of a couple
of rooms se. the ground floor just
inside the main entrance. Assuming
the counter, but the back part of
the room was mostly hidden from
view by a portable Japanese mum
between five and six feet high.
"You act es :Aguas for the owners
r- of the steamer Queen of Night ?" I
usved of the clerk, who came, forward
with alacrity.
'Yase, ear—Dir, Volpe is agent
was the reply which Promised a sulli
rfent knowledge of 1':nglish for my
purpose.
"Then where •he devil is the
ship ?" 1 proceeded, adopting the
manner of the irascible Briton on
his travels, "here hays I been wait-
ing for her over since yesterday
morning, 1 was unable to join 11et'
in London, so ca311e across 1110 Con-
tinent to join her here for the rest
of the trip. The delay is very an-
noying,^
At that moment I caught sight of
the shining top of a bald head,
raised. an inch above the screen as
if sonic one behind 11 were changing
This position. 1t disappeared so
quickly as not to distract my at-
tentlon from the clerk's reply,
1t is 'host unflrcimit, sae, that
you should be so discommode," he
mild. "I regret ver moosh that
there can be no booking per Queen
of Night from Naples, After 19av'ing
Genoa sho call for orders at Leg-
horn, and receive instructions by
cable from the owners to proceed to
Cagliari in Sardinia, whence she
goes direct to Alexandria. She not
come to Naples at all
This was terrible Hews, and I was
so overcome that I nearly betrayed
myself. The villains had evidently
arranged that the ship on leaving
Genoa should call at Leghorn, so
that Zavertal could be informed
whether 1 was still safely out of the
way at the Convect. In this case
they could, without risk of compli-
cations, carry out the original pro-
gramme of visiting Naples ; but if
anything should have gone wrong
with their plans with regard to the
quieting of myself, pursuit on my
part was to be stalled off by the
simple process of avoiding the port
where I should expect to find the
ship. The latter contingency had
occurred, and by this time the
Queen of Night must be nearing Cag-
liari, whence in a few hours she
would start for Alexandria, and
commence that potion of the voy-
age over which hung the foreshadow-
ing of such dreadful`mystery.
Collecting sense enough to hurl a
few anathemas at the clerk, I telt
the office and walked slowly back to
the hotel. One ray of comfort was
alone granted to me, I remembered
that Pisa, where Kennard and Viz-
ard had both so mysteriously dis-
appeared, was the junction with the
short lino routing to Leghorn, and
I reflected that if Vizinrd had got on
board there the detective Would
have the chance of doing so too. I
hoped frantically thee 1'e had avail-
ed himself of it, and that his non-
communication with rote was duo to
his having gone to those who needed
his protection so much more urgent-
ly, This Thought, however, though
it lifted a little of my load, did not
compensate for being left high and
dry where I was powerless myself to
aid • and directly I reached the
hotel 1 inquired if there were any
boats leaving for Caglari which
would give ale a chance of catching
up the Queen of Night before site
sailed. Again I suet with a rebuff.
The day was "Thursday. Tho steam-
er for Sardinia would not leave till
Saturday.
I went up to my room, well-nigh in
despair, and racked with doubt
whether I had better go to the Con-
sulate or try the Italian police 'au-
thorities. I had nearly,' after my
last experience, decided in favor of
the latter, when a. waiter knocked at
the door and said that n signor—an
English signor—was inquiring for me
below. Who my visitor could be, un-
less it was either Kennard or, Viz-
ard, I had no idea, but, glad at the

"I come from ,lir. Kennard," he

went aboard the Queen of Night,
and ho took advantage of my being
a follow -countryman of yours to en-

(To Be Continnad,)
PERFUIVSES AND THE VOICE,
Students of Singing Warned to
Be Aware of Scents.
• Girls and others who take singing
isss010 ere experiencing the 1ztcoa-
veniertces sometimes atttwhed to sci-
eec0's discoveries, Those whose
teachers follow assiduously tho lat-
est wrinkles front Paris have been
instructed that in future they must
rigorously abstain from the use of
portiones, and the wearing of odor-
ous flowers. Needless to say, many
have rebelled.
The new regulation has been evolv-
ed by the Parisian professors 0f vo-
cal music, following the results of
certain experiments and observa-
tions made by french scientists. Ac-
cording to a well-known teacher of
singing in that city, who is ondea-
ver'ing to mance his pupils live up to
the new rule, the experiments, which
were principally undertaken at the
request of the teachers, have proved
that all strung perfumes are injuri-
ous to the delicate membranes of the
threat.
This was good news indeed. The
person alluded to as having gone on
board at Leghorn was evidently
Vizard, but neither he nor Gavertal
would be half so dangerous with the
detective at baud to watch their
every move. A great deal would
depend, however, on whether he was
on board in his own character, or
still successfully disguised as the old
American General, and I questioned
111y visitor as to how Mr. Kennard
was dressed.
"You require proof or my baying
met Mr, Kennard ?" he said, show-
ing at once by his manner that he
had put upon my question a 0041'
struction 1 had not lutendeci it co
beat'. The information he brought
tallied so exactly with my previous
surmise, and with turret I had learn-
ed at Volpe's office, that to doubt
him after he had made his statement
never crossed my mind, and I has-
tened to disclaim any such inten-
tion.
"I nm. glad to hoax' you say that,"
he replied, "for it would be hard to
meet with such a reception . after
going to the expense of considerable

be chartered for that purpose at a

it in getting to Cagliari,

Not only does tills apply to the
concentrated essentes that come 1n
bottles, but even to the fragrant
odors that 1551(0 front the flowers
themselves. Tho violet's perfume,
according to the experiments made
with the laryngoscope, is, perhaps,
the most injurious of all, and the
wearing of bunches of these simple
and proverbially modest flowers has
been strictly forbidden to all who
are anxious to cultivate their voices.
Prima donas and other operatic
singers have been cautioned concern-
ing the dangers that tusk hidden in
their corsage bouquets, and it is
probable that they will no longer
show their appreciation of the mag-
nificent floral tributes which ardent
admirers delight in showering up-
on them, by ostentatiously nestling
their faces among the dainty bloc=
sons, and asslllllin'g an air of ecs-
tatic bliss.
After all, to a layman, to whom
the discovery was expounded, it re-
ally did not seem to startling, and
as usual, in fact, the wonder is that
no one ever thought it out before.
For it is well known that the sense
of smell depends for its appreciation
upon the ticiclieg effect produced by
the deposit upon the delicate mem-
branes of the nose of infinitesimally
nlitlute particles thrown off by the
odoriferous object.
Some substances smell not at all.
That is because they either throw
alt no siueh particles, or because the
Particles which they do emit are not
of a nature to affect the olfactory
nlembl'anes.
Among flowers this is the case
particularly. Some have no' odor;
they fall into the class of sub-
stances just described. The smell of
others is unpleasant because they
throw elf particles which are ob-
noxiolts to tho nlembralles, and the
latter 101)el.
The so-called fragrant flowers,
notably the rose, the violet and the
carnation, literally tielde the olfac-
tory membranes to a olio of plea-
sure and ehjoynn.ent, though it is
worthy • of note that some persons
abhor the scent of certain flowers
that to the majority of m0)1111nd
seem deliciously fragrant,
If, then, these odoriferous parti-
cles have such a lively action upon
the nasal membranes, it cortai sly
does not appear strange that when
inhaled, as they nll1at be at times, o
they should nave an injurious of- c
feet upon the membranes of tllo o
throat, which are at least as sets'- 1
live as those of the nose. It re-
gptiros no greet 80'0011 of the im-
agination to conceive Clint the in-
haling of perfumes, therefore, might
se'iouely interfere with an operatic
singer's powers, which are so keenly
dependent upon the perfect condition
of the laryngeal membranes.
