others disappeared, leading the three
!horses, Mortimer grasped my sleeve.
"That's Preacher Jenks," he whis-
'pered, "from down at the Cross Roads,
What can Fagin want of,him?"
"If Fagin is Grant's tool, and Grant
is here," I answered soberly, "I am
;ready to make a guess at what is up."
The recollection of the captain's threat
at the sumtiler-house instantly re-
curred to memory. "Here, you lads,
skulk down into these bushes, while
I try that balcony. That is the library,
isn't it, Eric? I thought so; I've been
under guard there twice. The win-
dow shows no light, but some one is
in the room beyond. Give me a leg
up, Tom, and stand close so you can
hear if I speak."
It was not high from the ground,
butI could not grip the top of the rail
without help. With Tom's assistance
I went over lightly enough, and with-
out noise. The window was the one
which bad been broken during the
first assaulton the house, and never
repaired. I found ample room for
crawling through. The door into the
hal, stood partly ajar, a little light
streaming through the crack, so I ex-
perienced no difficulty in moving about
freely. A glance told me the apart-,
ment was unoccupied, although I
heard the 'murmur of distant voices
earnestly conversing. Occasionally
an emphatic oath sounded clear and
distinct. My first thought was that
the men with me would be better con-'.
sealed here than in the bushes below,'
and I leaned over the rail, and bade
them join me. Within another minute
the three of us were in the room In-
tently listening. I stole across to the
crack of the door. The hall was
empty so far as I could see looking
toward the rear of the house, and the
voices we heard were evidently in the
dining -room. Occasionally there was
a clatter of dishes, or the scraping of
a chair on the polished floor. One
voice sang out an order to a servant,
a nasal voice, slightly thickened by
wine, and I wheeled about, gazing in-
quiringly into Mortimer's face.
"That's Grant," he said quickly,
"and ball drunk."
"I thought so; that's when he is
ireally dangerous. Stay close here; if

Fagin Roared Out; "What It It Now?
Heard From Culver?"
thehallway is Clear I am going to get
into the' shadow there under the stairs.
Have your weapons ready"
Where the fellow was who had been
at the front door I could not deter-
mine, He had disappeared somehow,
and I slipped along the wall for the
necessary ten feet like a shadow, and
crept in beneath the shelter of the
staircase. From here I could look into
the room opposite, although : only a
portion of the space was revealed.
There was no cloth on the table, and
but few dishes, but I counted a half-
dozen bottles, mostly empty, and nu-
merous glasses, Grant was at one
end, his uniform dusty and stained,
but his eyes alone betraying intoxica-
tion. Beside him was a tall, stoop -
shouldered man, with matted beard,
wearing the coat of a British Grena-
dier, but with all insignia of rank
ripped from it. He had a mean mouth,
and yellow, fang like teeth were dis-
played whenever he spoke. Beyond
this fellow, and only half seen from
Where I crouched, was a heavy -set in-
dividual, his face almost purple, with
a thatch of uncombed red hair. He
wore e cocked th 1'
c lint of a Dragoon,
pushed to the back of his head, his
feet were encased in long cavalry
boots, crossed on the table, and he
was pulling furiously at a pipe,,, the
stem gripped firmly between his teeth.
Who the 1}earded man might be I bad
no means of knowing, but this beauty
was without doubt Fagin. I stared at
him, fascinated, recalling the stories
of his fiendish cruelty, my heart thump-
ing violently, while my fingers gripped
the butt of my pistol. Then, without
warning, a man stepped out of the
darkened parlor, passed within three
.feet of my hiding place, and stood
within the dining -room door, The
three within looked at him, and Fagin
roared out:
"What is it now? Heard from Cul-
ver?"
CHAPTER XXXI.
They Send for Claire.
I could only see tbe fellow's back,
with hail' hanging low over the collar,
but his voice was clear.
"Got here five minutes ago, The
preacher is locked in the parlor."
"By God! Good! Now we can play
out the game, eh, Captain? Or," turn-
ing about s>aspiclously, and staring at
the other, who sat with eyes shaded
by, one hand, "are you weakening as the
time draws near?"
"Hell's Ore! No! We gave her a
choice, and she only laughed at it. I'll
go on now to spite the wench; only I
think we should bring in the boy first,
and prove to her that we've actually
got him."
Fagin emptied the glass in his hand,
giving utterance to an oath as he re-
placed it on the table.
"Yer as chicken-hearted drunk as
sober, Grant," he said coarsely. "Did
yer bear the fool, Jones, an' after all
I've told him?"
The bearded man nodded silently,
his eyes shifting from one face to the
other. Fagin grinned, and poured out
another drink.
r "Now listen again," he went on, half
angrily. "That boy's worth money
Mr us—a thousand pounds—but it
wouldn't do yer any good ter be mixed
up in the affair, would it? What chance
would yer have in this estate, or for
yer commission either, if Howe 01'

Good Lord, man! they'd hang yer in-
stead of the other fellow. You'll have
ter lie some as it is, I reckon, ter ex-
plain why yer left Sir Henry,' an' came
down here. Have yer got that fact
inter yer brains?"
Grant glared at him wickedly, but
remained silent across the table:
"Yer already in bad enough, without
huntin' more trouble. Better leave the
boy alone. I thought, at first, we'd
have ter use him, but I don't now, Let
the girl believe he's deserted, and that
yer to a position ter help him. That
.will serve' yer purpose better than the
other scheme. It may awaken her
gratitude, her sweet love!"
"Damn her love!"
"So it isn't love, eh, that makes yer
so, anxious. S thought as much. What
is it, then—revenge?"
Grant held his breath a moment, his.
dull eyes on the faces of the two men.
'Well, I might as well tell you," be
snarled at last. "I Ioved her once, I

ORIGIN OF THE PEARL
The Ancients Thought It Was a Drop
of Dew From Heaven..
No record exists or even tradition as
to the discovery of the first pearl. The
mystery of its origin has doubtless con-
tributed in no small degree to render it
the prime favorite that it has ever been
in the eyes of the orientals.
From time immemorial the nation!
of antiquity have used the pearl to
decorate their persons and adorn their
temples and we find many curious be-
liefs existing as to its origin. The one
most prevalent in 1'liny's time was
that pearls were formed from the dews
of heaven, falling into the open shells
at breeding time, and it was in allusion
to this pretty conceit that a noble Vene-
tian lady named Cortaro bad a gold
medal struck (bearing the date 1620)
on the reverse side of which is an open
shell receiving the drops of dew from
heaven which form into pearls as they
fall. Tbe motto was "Bore divine"
(by the divine dew).
In these more practical but, less poetic
days the generally accepted theory Is
that some foreign substance, possibly.
even a grain of sand, having by acci-
dent entered the shell of the oyster, a
certain amount of irritation is induced
which causes the exudation of a pearly
secretion (known as nacre), and thig
effectually covers up the intruder, and
also that with the growth of the oyster
the pearl Increases in size
The pearl, unlike all other gems, re•
quires no assistance from man toen-
hance its value, or from art to add one
Iota to its perfect loveliness:—National

Good Health Is impossible
Without a Healthy Action
Of The Kidneys
When the kidneys begin to "act up"
and fail to filter the blood through them,
there passes into the system uric acid and
other virulent poisons, which will cause
some of the sevcrest and most deadly
diseases known to mankind.
On the first evidence of the approach
of kidney trouble Doan's Kidney Pills
should be used, and serious trouble
avoided. Mr. Israel Drost, Bath,
writes:—"I am sending you this testi.
monial telling you what a wonderful
cure Doan's Kidney Pills made for me.
My kidneys were so batt I was helpless
for about two months. I used several
kinds of pills, but alone of them seemed to
be doing me any good. At last I was
advised to try a box of Doan's Kidney
Pills. When I had taken the first box
I found relief, and then I got another,
and by the time I had taken it, I was
completely cured."

EVOLUTION OF WHEELS
IT FORMS A FASOINATING STUDY
IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT.
Fot' All. the Improvements In Means
of Locomotion Man Has Not Been
Able to Do Without the Wheel
for Purposes of Locomotion—
Massive Stone and Wood Discs
Were the First 1Norm Used.
The history of the evolution of Lo-
comotion, as well asan infinity of
other studies of the keenest interest,
could all be centred in the wheel,
states a writer in The Lady. With-
out wheels we should bave no
watches, no steering at sea, We
should be unable to utilize the water-
falls as motor force, nor should we
have hundreds of other things of the
utmost attraction and utility. All
our modern civilization has come to
us on wheels. All we have learned
about other countries, all the com-
merce we have established through-
out the world, and our meahs of
wealth we owe to the wheel. It is
difficult to imagine what the world
would come to if suddenly all wheels
vanished from our midst. No war,''
no famine, no revolution could be
one-hundredth part as effectual in
putting us back centuries as the lack
of wheels:.
The first men, when they wished
to move their goods°from one place
to another must have joined together
a few planks of wood, placed them
on the trunk of a tree, and dragged
this, primitive cart along the un

even ground. Batverysoon after'
this first step they must have made
another, for the necesaity of wheels
must have been felt by them. The
fust wheels were made of massive
stones or wood, and they became
sthrongbout the agesver lighter as
they became more perfect. The axle

separately. Afterwards the felloo
and the spoke were introduced. The
first records of carts haye collie to
us from China, then from Egypt.
In the early days of mans 61viliza
tion there were strange superstitions
as to locomotion. It was thought
that every existing 'thing which'.
moved had to be carried on some
form of cart. ° They went so far as
to believe that the moon was thus
wheeled round the earth on a cart
drawn by bulls. In Roman times a
primitive shape of cart or basket con-
veyanee was called by `them '"plaus
tram," the wheels of which had no
spokes, being solid, and nearly a foot
thick. Sometimes they were made
of boards nailed 'together or sawn
whole from the trunk of a tree. A
wagon of basket work, called
"benne," had wheels with many
spokes, This vehicle is still used in
Italy and other Southern States. '
1311£ it is undoubtedly the chariot
which appeals to one's• imagination
Prost, for the chariot, besides being
a vehicle of transit, was part of the
luxurious life of the Greeks and the
Romans. Their triumphs and their
greatest prestige can all be recon-
structed by the recollection of their
various chariots. The names of the
chariots varied according to the num-
ber of horses they had harnessed to
them. When drawn by two horses
they were called "biga," with three
"triga," with four "quadriga."
Horses were driven abreast, and
there are records of as many as 10
having been harnessed to one char-
iot. But the quadriga was particu-
larly favored, As an emblem of vic-
tory it was at times placed on a
triumphal arch, and even kept as a
heirloom in the homes of some dis-
tinguished nobleman whose ances-
tors had won thele as trophies of
victory. At this time the chariot
wheel was large, prominent, and
most important. The typical ones
had four spokes fixed on a felloe,
with flexible wood ares, and bound
outside by an iron tyre.
The wheel seems to have lent it-
self to gruesome work from olden
times to comparatively recent ones,
though as an instrument' of torture
(which was suppressed by the Re-
volution) the wheel only became a
legal instrument of torture In
France
c at the end of the reign of
Francois I. (1534), and was inflicted
as a punishment on highwaymen and
other culprits. Yet as a means, of
punishment its use dates back to
Roman times, when criminals were
crushed to death under the wheels
of carts. The Assyrians made wheels
even more deadly and fearsome.
They looked upon their carts as
means of attack and defence, and to
their wheels they added sharp blades
which literally cut down their en-
emies. The shape of chariots did not
vary much in Jerusalem, Persia,
Assyria, India„Greece, or Rome, but
it was the '14omans who brought
them to an artistic perfection un-
surpassed. To some of their most
beautiful triumphal chariots the Ro-
mans attached captive kings after a
victorious battle. We can hardly
fathom the pride of the conqueror
or the humiliation of the conquered
at this time.
When we arrive at the period in
history of locomotion in which car-
riages put in an appearance, the ro-
mance of wheels begins to wane.
The first of these is mentioned by
Yerxes on his invasion of Greece.
He is then said to have possessed a
carriage as well as a chariot. The
Ronan transport cart, with its pow-
erful :::)eels, has cone down to us
