• A BOHEMIAN HOUSEHOLD
The hoar of 2 P. M., and all was
still as the grave at 21a!
Suddenly a tall, athletic figure
stole on tip -toe from the kitehen
.8tairqse, crossed the corridor, and
halted at the closed oaken dbor op-
posite. Then •a ,heavy bullet-heade

Erldget.
"Not the seventeenth part of an

Mr Savage repeated to himself the

At about the hour of two P. M.,
an old gentleman might have been

Chinese have reverence for this
portion of their toilet that, perhaps

Tn the mean tirne Mr..Savage had
reaehed the wide corridor that ex-
tended the whole length _of the
house. A circular staircase was be-
fore him, at the top of which beamed
a strong light. Upon One of the
uppermost, balusters in the full
radiance of this light, there was a
black object. It was not a cat nor
a dog. What was ib? A. chicken?
a jet black; chicken? No, for , two
fierce black eyes shone furiously
down' upon him with mitre intelli-

watch, diamond pin and studs.
--GreatHeaven ! could such a thing
be possible 1? 'Ferret, the lawyer,
had said this was the only house
Fred frequented, and the inmates
were a ilueer set. Ah, the word
queer was too mild!
Mr. Savage leaned back, in his
closet, plunged in this painful va
verie, a door opened on the upper
floor" • he raised his eyes, and there,
by the side of the malignant
creature with the black eyes, stood a
man. A loose dressing -gown hung
about him in awkward folds, a
scarlet cap rested on the back of his
head, from nuclei: which a mop of
reddish hair fell altneat to his
shoulders. THis face was flaraing
red, even to the tip of, his ruCse, and
across his cheek was a deeper stain
—a smear that was hrimson, yes,
blood -red.
gleamed in.', the eyes 'of !,a chicken.
The house was frightfully" still. On
either side of the corridor heavy
oakeu doers remained --I hopelessly
closed. Mr. Sava.ge paused and
looked up again, fa.scinatecl by those
fierce black eyes.
Suddenly ho heard a groan. It
came from the room ion the left.
Then a low, sobbmg souud, aid a
heavy fall.. The old geutlenatu
stepped hastily forward, the blood
in his veins.-. '
1
_" _Murdeted! Dead !" -....ied a tvo-
nian's voice'1' "And I alive!"
Mr. Savaae paused at the heavy
1
oaketi door—paused ant'll collected
his wits. I !
"Oh, misery!" repeated the ago-
nized voiceOf a woman. "Murdered!
Dead! And 1 alive !" '
Mr. Savage remembered that he
VMS .. alone and ai-marnied, anct
prudently stepped into a neighuer-
ing closet. Almost +sing the
door,. ho remained perfectly still.
Evidently there was fad play in
this house, and he could do nothing,
situated as he was, but listen and
wait. Besides, the criwo was com-
mitted. •There could be no help
rendered now.
. Sobbing continued, and at inter -
vols he heard the heart-rending
complaint of the woman . " Murder-
ed ! Dead! And I alive 1"
It might have been a biluarter of
an hour that this continued; and
.'whenever Mr. Savage looked up ho
'found theeves peering curiously and
savagely down. Then the door on
the right opened, and he heard the
eilken iustle of a woman s drapery.
There passed close by hint—so close
that he entailed a delicate, sweet
perfume—a -woman of thirty or
hercabeutt a blonde, with pale
yellow hair drawn back from ner
forehead, eyes of a deep lustrous
li -iolet, a small sensitive ntouth, and
oeautiful chin. Her hands were
White and slim, the nails rosy and
marvelously shaped. Mr. Savage
noticed the hands particularly, for
sho clasped and unclasped them
-vit..h a movttwent of sorrow or
golly.
,She stopped at the door on the
left and tapped softly,
" Estelle!" she said, "1i tne in

A light footstep approached the

tered, leaving it ajar.
