Then Evelyn St. Claire peeked what
' she. had failed to observe before—this girl
was oortaiely taller by almost a' -head
than Little Gay.
But the face --"Oh, was there ever a
,e, More remarkable, a more wonaorfnl re-
semblaneeP" she thought, shudderingly.
Then, as she stood there, gazing on the
face so fatally like Little Gay's,. a- terrible,
swift, dark temptation flashed. across the
° brads of the beautiful, guilty heiress—a
_, temptation so startling that 1t almost
took her breatb away, a plot so diabolical
' that' it took all her guilty strength to look
it calmly in the face and eentempint0 it.
Al,, if she could but bribe .this -.man-
-tomnt him in any way to give out to Geo
world that this girl was Gaynell Ester -
brook, oh, if. she utile but bribe him to
state that a card or envelope bearing that
name- was .found in her pocket!
Let Porey Granville fly to the Morgue to
view. the remains if he would -10. she could
but 'purcha,se this man's silence- the would
defy Gay's nearest and dearest' friends to
detect the deception, or discover the glar-
ing fraud, :the dead girl's face was so
fatally the exact counterpart of Gay's.
If Percy Granville could be brought to
believe Gay dead, utterly lost to him for-
ever, in time his heart might turn.to her
agodn; ft eves a glorious, golden dream,.
and worth the most valiant struggle..
It - will never be known in what man-
ner Evelyn St. (Haire approached the man
and won over to her atrocious scheme;
whether she brought rill the beivitolting
beauty of her Olorieus blonde lovollneee
to boar upon his susceptible heart, or
whether she tempted Win by the power
of gold. In after years, w'hon the man
looked bank to that ;night. it seemed' like
a dream to bile; he never remembered
why he had consented to thehoruible vow
sef eternal e(lenee•"gfth which she sealed
his lips, or why he did not repent ere he
gave to the reporters tho mixt morning
the slip the beautiful, enyoterious etre,*
ger had, written out for him to seed to
the daily papers for publication.
He put. the diamond sleeve -link Evelyn
had lost from ilex dress -and which lay.
upon. `the floor unnoticed ':until after her
departure—carefully away, and tried to
forget tb0 affair;
An hour later, flushed and trembling
with oxol±ement, Evelyn returned ta.hor
hotel. *vice was awaiting her utero; the
maid had intend the first train, and come
by the second, luckily escaping the disas-
ter.
The next day all that wee mortal of the
beautiful girl, whose fatal resemblam* to
Gaywas so, marked, wee laid to.x'ost,and
the notice appeared in the evening' paper,
with a simple headline "Found Drowsed"

They were nothing t1 him—the whole

An hour later. with. a white haggard

When you begin to sniff and feel a
burning sensation in the nasal passages,
or when a tickling irritation ru your
throat starts you coughing, the first
important thing is to act at once. It's
the neglected cold that becomes trouble-
-some and dangerous,'
The second important thing to do fa
to take Na-Dru-Co'Syrup of Linseed,
li1eorice and Chlorodlne, and keep it up
till the cold disappears entirely,
Na-Dru-Co Syrup of Linseed, Licorice
and Chlorodyse is absolutely free from
harmful drugs, and can safely be given
oven to moderately young children.
It is pleasant tasting and quick acting,
promptly relieving, the irritation of the
throat and nostrils, loosening the
tmuetls, promoting expectoration, and
Checking the cold.

To Ione Leighton's intense delight, Percy

avail himself of the hospitality of the
young ladles of Leighton Hell.

WARSJIIP BUILDING RECORD.
Eighteen Ships Now Under ,Con-
struction in British Yards.
The present year will 'see a new
record in 'British warship building.
The naval dockyards and ,great
shipbuilding firms have 1lreluly
twelve battleships and battle
cruisers in ,hand for the navy, apart
from vessels nearly completed. In
addition there are six battleships
or .battle crideers building in Eng-
land for foreign powers.
If ten nolo British shipsaro or-
dered this year, as is expected,
there will be twenty-eight armored
:'lips of the largest size buildings.
in Britain, with a displacement of
over 650,000 tons.
The completion of this enormous
fleet with ,speed will demand most
careful organization. Iii is feared'
that there must be serious delays ii
constraotion. Already the recent
British programmes aro heavily he
arrears.
The difficulty which 'confrontt%
decky/rcle and private firms is to
obtain the skilled labor required for
ship con,vtruetion, There is an in-
sufficiency of 1c'orkers at the dock-
yards, Where day card nighb shifts,
as 371111 as overtime, are being
worked. All indications suggest that.
the Admiralty will Have to revise
its calculation that the largest bate
tlesllip one be built in two years,
Ship owners. are rejoicing in prose
perosis tames, and thele is every
likelihood that the flourishing eon-.
dations in the English slipping
dustl'y will •continue.
Smoked Longest Pipe.
Though fele have heard of it,
theme is ,an English pipe smoking
cllarnelrni hip, though meetings do
not eeemi to be held regularly. The
Met, contest was held at ,t 11:1(1 in
Denbo: n (1110 yeizrs ago, when a
now English record was seat up foe
the .length of time, a pipe could be
made to bast. In these contents ex
aptly one-eighth of an ounce is
weighed out by the judge, the 0071
of ildul'teranes being 'strictly for-
bidden. The winner, abarber from
Southampton, who had won bhe me-
dal twice previous, coaxed his pipe
into delaying its final puff till two
hours and tel/ minutes had elapsed
from the time it was lit. These'
eineking contests aro very popular
in Belgium and Rolland.

TILE KAISER'S DA:UG IITl1IIb:. `
The ,apple of Kaiser Williames eye
is his only daughter, the Princess
Louise Victoria, about whose matri-
monial future speculation is rife.
She ie already a prominent figure
in Berlin society, having never been
kept in the ' .seclusion which . has
been the lot of many princesses. She
has frequented, since her debut, the
select theatres ,and concert halls of
the German capital, and drives
deftly her own pony -cart almost
daily in the Thiorgarten, where .she
has ridden fre/n the time she was
quite a tiny girl. '
The princess is of distinguished
presentiment, and as full of pluck
