.rand was unusually busy. As they
neared the box, they saw O'Hara
',bending low over Bessie from his
:.Seat above. They could almost see
the pupils of his cat like eyes dilate
as he talked to her in his slow, pe-
culiar voice. Mrs Archer looked
'at him and shuddered. She could
•only catch a word of his conversation
new and then, and that more than
'satisfied her. He was talking upon
aSubject she disliked.
"Whether one believes in spiritu-
alism or not," O'Hara was saying,
"he must admit that there are some
wonderful things done in its name.
I should like you to meet a little
woman down town—a medium I
suppose she calls herself. She
would tell you things that would
set you to thinking. If ycu want
to make an appointment to meet
her, I will arrange the meeting, and
get vers Pryor to chaperon us. It's
not an attractive place, but "it Vs
perfectly reputable or you may he
sure I shouldn't suggest your going
there."-
--"-A.11 this was said in a low voice,
so that Mrs Archer did not catch
enough of the conversation to know
• what it was about. Had she known,
she would have spoken out plainly.
O'Hara seemed to speak behind his
tongue, and it was quite difficult to
understand him- unless you gave
your mind to the effort. This im-
pediment, if impediment it could be
called, made him speak slowly, and
this slowness gave a certain impress-
iveness to the simplest remark he
made.
Mrs Archer greeted Rush with
the greatest cordiality. He seemed
like a whiff of fresh country air
after a breeze from Hunter's Point.
Bessie also was pleased to see him.
Though she was very mueh interest-
ed in what O'Hara was saying, she
found the man rather oppressive,
and there was something about his
dilated pupils she did not altogether
like.
When Rush entered the box
O'Hara went out, and Mrs Archer
Seemed to breath more freely. The
conversation was lively and general
until the curtain was rung up again.
Then they listened with breathless
interest to the beautiful music.—
Rush could not help contrasting his
present surroundings with those of
a few hours before and a few hours
-hence. On every side of him were
youth, beauty, wealth and refine-'
went. The woman he adored was
before his eyes, singing as no one
else could sing.
"Oh, to see hor, hear her singing,
Scarce I know which is divinest,"
'0 quoted Rush. Then his thoughts
Iwandered back to the miserable
tenement in East Fourth street,
where he was to spend the night
with poverty wretchedness and
crime on every side, and he,liwself
on the track of a murderer. The
life of a journalist bas variety in it,
if nothing else. Then he looked
about him at the "glittering horse-
• shoe;" the delicate perfume of the
flowers that lay upon the railing of
-the boxes was wafted to his nostrils,
and he was intoxicated by the scene.
•:`'.His reverie was broken in upon by
' ;.Mr Archer, who tapped him on the
shoulder.
"Just look at West Hastings,"
'. -said he. "That fellow is more in
,;,;"love with Helen than I gave him
credit for being. He has not taken
his eyes off her once since she came
upon the stage."
Sure enough, there he sat in his
proscenium box, alone, his eyes
' riveted on the lovely face of Helen
f Knowlton, and his ears drinking in
every note of her voice. This was
not a pleasant sight to Rush, and it
,pent him back to his tenement house
watch in no happy frame of mind.
But his work grew more interesting
as time went on, and he soon be-
came completely absorbed in pick-
ing 'up the threads of evidence
against the murderer of the unfor-
tunate actress.
CHAPTER XV.
John Hurlstone was very much
disturbed in his mind. Ile was in
love with Leoni, the dancer, and he
,,,4 "bad promised to harry Amy Bay-
; lis), the rector's daughter. The
•'worst of it was that he was very
fond of Amy, and he dict not want
to treat her unkindly. Bet he was
determined to marry Leoni. On
• that point he was sti ong though on
most others he was weak. Ile
would still let Amy believe that
they were to be married in the fall.
I'arbaps in the meantime he could
think of a good excuse for broakiug
' if the match. IIe might pretend

Jobe disturbed f)R 4.bi.ts ; e uuntt but
the state of affairs of the Mutual
Dividend Mining company did not
tend to ° (Hake hien .happy, 091.
Mortimer was drinking heavily and
playing high --two sure signs that
he was losing faith in the contiuu-
• ed prosperity of the company, and
mere welt+ some ugly rumors afloat
that tAnted upon the company's
credit.
John, too, feared a day of reck-
oniug, and be followed the example
of his chief in the matter of drink-
ing and high play. His letters to
Amy because less frequent, and his
visit, to Leoni mote so. He was
inf,ituatcd by the Italian's beauty
end her passionate love for hitu,and
he could not keep away from her.
Two or three tithes he had gone to
see her while feeling the worse for
lu nor. She was terribly shocked;
but be eeplained the circumstance
as an accident, and she was quite
willing to accept the explanation.
One day, after a ivatinee, he called
for her at the stage door of the
Academy to take her house in his
carriage. She refused to gu with
him at first, because her mother
was not with her; but John argued
so elcquedtly that she yielded.—
Were they not engaged to be mar-
ried? Indeed, they were really as
good as husband and wife. It was
only a question of a few words of
ceremony. Moreover he had some-
thing of importance to say to her,
and he must say it to her alone.
So Leoni got into the carriage.
John spoke a few words in a low
tone to his Italian valet, who sat on
the box with the coachman, and
sprang into the carriage, shutting
the door after him with a bang of
victory. As the horses dashed up
the street he took Leoni's hand and
kissed it deferentially, and held it
in his own while he talked to her
-es he could so well talk to women.
John had been drinking, but nct
heavily, and net enough for Leoni
to notice; only enough to make him
determined to accomplish his object,
to which end he brought all his elo-
quence to bear. He told Leoni the
story of his love for her --a story
she never tired of hearing; and then
he asked her if she really loved him.
Her words were few, but their em-
phasis and the look in her eyes
satisfied him. Then be told her
that he was going to put her love
to the test—that he was going to
ask her to marry him, and to marry
him that very afternoon. Circum-
stances which he would explain to
her some day luade it necessary for
their marriage to be private.
If he could have his way, he
would like it to be proclaimed from
the house tops and cried through
the streets. Ile was proud of his
love, and he wanted the world to
know of it, but adverse fate would
have it otherwise. If they were
to be married at all, it must be
privately. Leoni's face grew pale
at the "if" and she pressed John's
hand that held hers with an energy
that gave assurance. "I was so
sure that you would say yes, darl-
ing, that 1 brought this ring and 1
have ordered the coachman to drive
us to the house of a respectable
clergyman, who will preform the
ceremony as it ought to be preform-
ed, making thee mine and use thine
beyond any chance of separation."
Tears filled Leoni's eyes at thought
of deceiving her kind father and
mother; but John kissed them away,
and told her that it would only be
for a short time. Fie had his way,
and as the clergyman's house was
reached in a few moments the cere-
mony was preformed at once, John's
valet acting as witness. E gni, in
her agitation, with her imperfect
knowledge of English, did not no-
tice that John gave his name of
Hurlstone.
After the ceremony John drove
her home and took diuner with the
family. He was never gayer and
never made himself more agreeable
to Signor and Signora Cella. Leoni
was more or less embarrassed. She
felt that she wee in a false position,
and she was displeased at herself for
having deceived her parents, partic-
ularly her mother, from whom she
had never concealed anything in
her life. Beth het father and mother
felt sure that John was seriously in
log e with Leoni, but they knew
their daugher too well to fear that
she would entertain any proposition
from him but looked upon ballet
dancers as an utterly corrupt and
abandoned class who regard well
to do young men their legitimate
prey should have known Lisa Cella.
A better girl never lived. Not only
was she the bread winner for her
family (many less virtuous girls are
that), but she was purity and good-
ness personified.

It was not because John did not tered the room. "Two laeies to see

away; it was because he was trou-
bled and annoyed. Mortimer kept
him at the Mutual Dividend office
until late at night, and he had a
great deal of ugly work to do. The
colonel, as I have said, could not
write anything but his name, and
Jchn was a skilful penman, so his
talents in that line were given
many an opportunity in these all
night sittings. John knew that he
was doing wrong, but he said to
himself : "Mortimer says it is all
right, and I can't go back on Mor-
timer." Ilow quickly Mortimer
would have "gone back" on him, if
it had been to his interest to do so!
Just now, however, it. was to his
advantage to conciliate John and to
use him.
In the midst of his excitement
and annoyances John received a
long and loving letter from Amy,
telling him that she and her mother
were coming id New York to buy
the material for her trousseau. "It
may seem to you, dear John, that I
am taking time by the forelock; hut
I haven't a minute too much. I
am going to make everything my-
self.
self. No other hand btmir�alf
take a stitch- itt tiTy wedding clothes.
ft is an - egotistical idea, perhaps
you will say, but I want to be busy
all this time, and I want work that
will not prel• ent my thinking of you
every minute. As I sew the hours
away, every stitch will have the
name of my own beloved John sew-
ed in with it. If you think this is
foolish, dear John, forgive me. I
will try and be leas silly after the
happy day that is coming."
John read this letter over slowly,
word by word; then, letting the
paper slip from his fingers to the
floor, he sat for a few minutes gaz-
ing vacantly before him. Hecould
not think clearly; he felt like a man
in a stupor. If he had been cruel,
he would have sent a letter to Amy
Bayliss, telling hor that he could
not many her because he loved an-
other woman. That would be the
shortest way out of the difficulty,
but he did not want to pain her.
"Poor Amy! «'hy does she care for
snclt a good for r•othing as I am? I
can't tell her I don't love her, be-
cause I do; I love as a brother.
But brother:y love isn't much, after
what I protested. Well, it's near-
ly five months before September; a
good deal can happen in that time;
a good deal has happened in leas
time. Thinking won't help matters,
anyway."
Children Cry for
So he threw Amy's letter in the
fire, and, walking over to the side-
board, poured out half a glassful of
brandy and drank it slowly. Then
he took a mouthful of ice water,
lighted a cigar, and, throwing him-
self in a big chair, began to think
again.
"Hang it all! can't a man get away
from his thoughts?" he (puttered
aloud.

really did have busipess at the Mu-

was cursing biro at that very mo-

back, and the two were looked up
until after midnight in the private
office, long after Amy Bayliss had
fallen asleep, though the excitement
of the day kept her awake unusually
late, and long after Leoni bad

telegram had not preceded them by

fished the envelope from the hearth
and showed them the date of its re-
ceipt at the New York office. "The
company ought to be sued for such
delays," he said.
Thus he rattled on, while the la-
dies let their delighted eyes wander
about the room. They had neither
of them ever been in the apartments
of a wealthy bachelor before, and
they were astonished at his luxu-
riousness. John blushed to the
roots of his hair as his eyes fell up-
on Leoni's portrait. He made some
excuse to attract their attention to
another part of the room, while he
pulled a bit of drapery over the pho.

tures—but when his fieanc came
in his first thought was to hide it
from her sight. Even the photo-
graph of a ballet dancer, he consi-
dered, polluted the air she had to
breathe."
Amy apologized for coming to his
rooms, but her mother took the
blame, saying she had come to him
because she was so frightened at be-
ing in New York alone, where
neither she nor Amy had ever been
before. John blamed her in his
kindlest manner for thinking an
apology necessary, and at once busi-
ed himself about brewing them a
pot of tea. He was a tea drinker
himself, and he indulged in the very
best teas. There were French rolls -
too, and little balls of Darlington
butter. Antonio set the table for
them with John's daintiest dishes,
and John waited upon them in his
gracious manner. They were charm-
ed; and well they might be, if there
is any charm in novelty. John's
one fear was of being left alone with
Amy, - and he wanted to keep the
conversation away from the trous-
seau as long as possible.
After the ladies had eaten their
rolls and drunk their tea, they said
they must be off to the shops, and
they expected John to accompany
them. Amy wanted his opinion on
some important matters she said,
blushing, and did hope he could go
with them. John pulled out his
watch, and, with an expression of
genuine annoyance on his handsome
face, said that it was just his hard
luck; if he had only known of their
coming in time he could have ar-
ranged the matter, but as it was
there was no help for it. There
As he rose impatiently from his was an important meeting at the
chair again his eyes fell upon the
large photograph of Leopi, on the
easel. "Leoai—my own—my wife!
I have not seen you for days my
darling. Poor girl : I'll go to see
you this moment." And, taking
his hat and top coat, he walked
over to Broadway.. There he hailed
a coupe and drove at •once to the
Callas'. Signor Cella had not left
his bed yet; he was suffering a good
deal of pain. Signora had gone to
the market- -to Washington mar-
ket, she made such good bargains
there, and had such a variety to
select from. John sympathised
with Sigiaor Cella's pains, but he
thanked heaven that Washington
market was not a block farther up
• Mutual Dividend office at noon,
that would probably last all day.
There would, however, be a recess
for lunch, and at half past one he
could join them at Delmonico's and
bring Rush with him. It would be
a real old fashioned family gather-
ing. In the mean time he would
put them in a carriage and instruct
the driver carefully, so they need
have no fear of getting lost, and he
would join them punctually at half
past one.
Amy was disappointed, but she
bore her disappointment bravely.—
She felt sure that John would have
gone with them had it been possible.
He had got to be such a man of
busineas now; and he really had the
town. He could have Leoni all to worried look of a man who is both -
himself for once, and he bad not ered by his affairs. He looked well,
seen her for so long that he felt he
though, h, in many
ways.
He
was
stouter than when he left Farmsted,
and his complexion was ruddier; but
she didn't quite like the expression
of his eyes. It was restless and not
at all happy. He seemed to be in
the best of spi:its, however, and his
manner was about the same. He
had not kissed her when she came
in, but he kissed her as he led her
down stairs, and she was satisfied.
So Amy and her mother went to
buy the trosseau, and John went
down to the office of The Dawn to
see if he could find Rush. He was
not there; he was off on his detect-
ive work; but, as luck would have
it, John met him just turning into
Fourth street, and captured him for
the lunch.
journalist and the detective antici-
pated an early denouement. They
were assured of one thing, which
was that the appar tment of Mme.
Fanny, Countess de Paris, was the
place where alley would be most
likely to capture Costellc. Martin
had worked up a number of clews,
and he was thoroughly satisfied
that Costello would be caught under
Mme. Fanny's roof. He learned
that he had been a lover of Mm.
Fanny, and that, although he had
lost his taste for her, she was still
enamored of him, and for the sake
of seeing him occasionally and be-
ing in his confidence she yew - even
willing to hal in his affairs
with other .,men.
111T most surprised Rush about
this establishment of Mme. Fanny's
was that apparently respectable
women visited it. They usuallay
came closely veiled,andthere was one
whom he had seen as she passed his
door whoes figure haunted him.
He certainly had met that woman
somewhere, but where he could not
tell. He thought of putting him-
self in her way some day, to see if
she recognized him, but then he re-
membered that he did not want to
be recognized, so he avoided meeting
her, though his curiosity was arous-
ed to the highest pitch. This mys-
teious lady was dressed in mourn-
ing and wore a long thick crepe veil,
and he noticed that she came in a
hired coupe which waited for her a
few doors away.

John to task for having stayed away
from her so long; but he was an ex-
pert at making his peace with wo-
men, and Leoni was soon placated.
What a happy two hours they had!
John forgot all about Amy, the
Mutual Dividend and the rest of
his troubles, and thought only of
the moment. .He told Leoni that
he would be at the -Academy that
evening to fetch her home, and he
kept his word. Signora Cella in-
sisted upon his coming in and hav-
ing supper with them, and he ac-
cepted the invitation with eagerness.
His evening was almost as happy
as his morning had been. He had
been happier that day than he
thought he ever could be again after
the receipt of Amy's letter.
The next day, as he sat over his
late breakfast, thinking of Leoni
and the day before, his valet enter-
ed the room bearing a telegram.- -
Supposing it was from Mortimer,
who. always communicated with
him by telegraph, owing to his ina-
