Reluctantly the professor admitted the
true situation in a few worde, begging

• They readily .believed Tremames story of
his great grief over the supposee death
of his young wife, and that, in one in-
stance, at least, grave robbera could be
. blessed for the eaving of a human life.
"If vein think, my wife able to be re-
moved, I will take her away at once,"
he went on eagerly; but to tbis neither
the doctor nor hie wife would agree.
"You must wait a week until she is a
little etronger," they both declared, and
despite his chagrtn, he was forced to sub-

And .1de grief was apparently so real

Judgment of him had 'been too hasty.
Gay grew 'so alarmingly worse, ae he
stood by the couch, tbat he was obliged
to leave the 1.0011.1.
"Your husband, who as a physitsian of

Little dreaming of the cruel plot, against
poor Little Gay, wbich she was uncoiled-
euely lending herself to, she contented.
When Gee, found berself alone with the
sa kindly -faced, motherly lady, she held out

not the pretty stranger whom Ilya ad 'Pre.

idea of her imagining ateatelf the adopted

Ari the motherly womaa would neither

donned.

She watt—going home! She would toll

At length a, carriage drew up .before
the door. Tremaine, in a carefully dis-
• guised. voice, inquired if she were ready,
and for answer the doctor's wife drew
Gay gently down the - porch to the ve-
• hicle•iu waiting.
Some one WAS seated 'within. Gay
sprang into the coach with a fluttering
"Papa, dear papa!" she sobbed Joyous-
ly, "it m you who have come for ano, to
take inc )10010, I know.'
'The coach •door clesed with a bang, and

river road, and for 'forcing ine back from

Gay uttered a piercing cry for help.
"Attempt that again at your peril!"
cried Tramcars° hoarsely, with a terrible
oath." s
The sentence waa drowned in a shower
of crashing glass.
In terror and desperation Gay had
eprung ouddeuly .forward, (lashing herlit-
tie hands, through the plate glass window
of the vehicle, slavering it to atoms, and
before Trensaine could prevent her, again
that shrill, piercing cry rang out on the'
ebght air"
It almost electrified two gentlemen who
had stepped out of, the telegraph' °Moe,

, It was not long before Teemaine, case
served that he was hotly- pursued, and
curses loud and deep broke from hie lips.
"If I ean but ‘reaell the river first," he
muttered, under hie .breath, "I defy the

"I ehall pay you for thee" he Mend.

The terrific craehing of the wheels as

hie .angry voice. .
It was a ride never th be forgotten;
both drivers lashed and. •urged their

with which each vehicle turned corner
after coiner was tremeedeue.
Poor Gay expected each moment would
be her bast.
Slowly but surely the detective'e• cab
was gaining on Tremaine's, and, at last,
they were within bailing dieta,nce of mulls
other. •
"I command you to halt!" thundered
tho detective, leaning far out of his car-
riage window, his clarion tones rising
above the noise of hoofs and wheels.
A derieive laugh from Tremaine floated
back th him.
• The detective placed hie whistle to hie
lips, and blew a shrill blast, th call th
his nid the blue -coated preservere of the
petite; but, as usual, when they are want-
ed, they are not to be found.
'The detective's blood was up; he was
determined since the affair had gone so
far, he would see it through to the end
if it east hira his head.
He' saw the cab was making for the
river -bank, and more than one clever
trail he had lost in this way.
"I'll double the ewe 3: offered you if
You overtake the cab ahead," he called
out sharply to the driver, and again the
matt applied the lasb, whith gave a fresh
impetus to theefoaming, panting beadts.
One terrific cut of the whirl, and the
two cabs were abreast at last, and both
came to a dead stop simultaneously.
"Now, then, halt)" thundered the de-
tective again, "and explain the mysteri-
ous cries for help—in a womun's voicle—
that tutted front this vehicle."
• For answer, Harold Tremttine whipped
out 1110 ?evolver, and taking SAM ill a
twinkling at the detective% head, firea;
but the ball missed its mark, and before
he Wahl repeat his nation, the weapon
was dashed from his grasp by the bound

It teemed as though the famous detee-

Treniaine fought with the courage of an
enraged demon.
Ho had recognized ale assailant, and he
determined not to be taken, for he knew
1 he WRS wanted for more crimes than one
in the great metropolis.
Gay, still bound and gagged, had crept
afrom the coach, gazing at the fearful
combat in mortal terror. It came to an
mid at last; the detective, with a clever
movement, had smiceeded in slipping a
; pair of hamlouffs over Tremaine's white
I hands, arid he was rendered pewerlese.
. "Now then," exclaimed' the detective
angrily, dragging lain by main force to-
ward the carriage -lamps, "we tvill take a

the same time find out who it is you
I were about to kidnap."
' Tremaine threw up hie darlc, handsome

i "I am captured, but met oonquered." he
exclaimed bitterly; "you shall soon find

degrees about three-fourths of a
pint of hot milk, -in whMh a bay
leaf and a piece of 1110.00 have beeh
boiled. Stir over the fire for sev-
eral minutes, then let cool a little
a,nd work in one by one four yolks

Tomatoes a la Chasseur. — Take
six large, ripe but firm, even -sized
tomatoes, six or eight 'reserved
mushrooms, chopped parsley, a lit-
tle eream, six small eggs, six tart-
let erusts (baked) to serve tomatoes

ter, and carefully remove the pulp
without breaking the skins of the
tomatoes. Chop the mushrooms and
sprinkle these with chopped parsley

Whose Eyes Are Endangered.
"I believe," said Mr. Myles
Standish in his lecture at the Har-
vard Medical School, "that it is a
crime to have pointed scissors
about in any household in which
there are children 'under six years
of age. Children will invariably
play with scissorS; they frequently
fall on the pOints and puncture the
eye' and often the, wound, while it
willcause blindness, is too small to
be noticed by the mother,
• "Next in point of danger to the
eyesight is the pounding of steel on
steel, which throwing out slivers,
eventually destroys the sight. Ma-
chinists and stonecutters meet with
similar accidents, and new that the
public is paying for these injuries
through insurance, workmen, who
are subjected to such dangers,
should be compelled lo wear glasses
of ,some sort to proteettheir eyes,
"I have-known.of quarrymen go-
ing on strike- because their em-
ployer tried to fore them to Wear
glasses; and I have seen a, quarry-
man who has lost an eye through a
premature explosion of dynamite
go back to the same work and lose
the other eye."
