LOVE AND A TITL
While 'these two were drinking great
draughts from the fountain of love
which had suddenly sprung up in the de-
sert of despair, as it were, Hal rode as
fast es bis horse could bear hila to
Forbaoh. The reason he did not meet
Vann and Clarence was because the
ataafht
was :too tedious for our
13 road
young hero, and he went as the crow
!lies, regardless of the laws of trespass
and the high hedges, over which the
bay
mars,
,who was
well idled wi'
th corn,
and had drank a pint of ale as a re-
fresher, hopped quite willingly.
Riding etaaight into the castle yard,
Hal, arta& to his surprise, met with
quite a reception. POT, instead of the
UMW' orderly quietude lights were flash-
ing about in all directions, stable helps
were running to and fro and the grooms
were hurriedly harnessing some of the
horses.
At sight of Hal, dusty hot and per-
spiring, and the mare, hot and excited,
with her smooth skin flecked with
foam --there was a general Aruna of ex-
citement and a gathering around him.
Hal, at once concluding that lois es-
capade had been discovered, got off the
mare coolly, and flung the bridle to a
groom, who took it with a. stare of as-
tonishment.
"Well," said Hal, turning around to
all points of >the group, "what's the
matter? castle on fire?"
Before any of (them could reply a tall
form came striding down the yard with
a lantern in dais hand.
It was Lord Nugent. He stared for
a minute at Hal, then .beckoned him 'to
follow.
"So you've come back, Mastel Hal,
have you?" eyeing him up and down.
"What on earth is the matter?"
" I was just going to ask you that,"
said Hal. "Surely a. fellow can take
an eveetng ride without creating all
this confusion."
"An evening ride!" echoed Nugent,
grimly. "Come, that won't do! What
Lave you been up to? for I'll be sworn
you hold the key to all this mystery."
"What mystery?" asked Hal cautious-
ly; "let us go in while you tell me,
I want to see Vane."
"Vane!" exclaimed Nugent, stopping
short. "Hasn't he been weth you then?"
"Not exactly!" said Hal, emphsutical-
ty"Then, where the devil is he, and
Nugent. "Don't you know? I'm pretty
where are the rest of them?" demanded
well the only person left in the castle.
Lady FerndnIe has gone, disappeared,
vanished! Vane laas disappeared; that
fool Clarence has disappeared --could ac-
count for him if he hadn'tleft his port-
inontean behind; Lady Lucelle is sud-
'enly summoned to England, by a
shoat, apparently, for there are no
telegrams at this time of night; and, to
rale the comedy complete. Ned, one of
the grooms, is found bound Band and
foot and gagged, in a stable, from
7vhich most of the saddle horses seem-
ed to have disappeared also!"
Hal, aghast at the major part of this
information, could not suppress a grin
at the latter.
"Gagged, was he?" he said said cool-
ly. "Serves him right."
"Perhaps so, no doubt," said Ngent,
ironically, "but perhaps you'll kindly
explain."
Hal sank onto a chair—they had
reached the smoking -room by this time
—and motioned to Nugeat to shut the
door.
"Look here, Nugent," said he, "Jeanne
is all right, I know."
"Thank Heaven!" said Nugent, who,
for all :his lightand earelss manner,
was inwardly troubled.
"Thanks Heaven!" echoes a voice be-
hind them, and Bell, pale and anxious,
came forward.
"Yes, Jeanne's all right; don't alarm
yourself Bell. I left her--ahem--safe
and sound, and in good company. As
to the rest I know no more than you
do."
"But the man in the stable?" queried
Nugent.
"Oh," said Hal; "that's all right too.
My man, George, will explain that, I've
no doubt. The fact is, Nugent, Bell, I
can't be as explicit as I could wish;
other people concerned, you know."
"What other people:" demanded Bell.
but before Hal could answer, satisfac-
torily or otherwise, •there was a knock
at the door.
"Oh, George," groaned Nugent, "here's
the Lambtons, no doubt, come to ask if
it's robbers or fires We've kept the
castle as quiet as possible, but there
bas been steal a row in the stables,
horses coming and horses going, that I l
don't wonder at everybody being dis-
turbed. I'm off. I'll leave you to ex-
plain. If Lady Ferndale is all right.
1'nt satisfied; the rest can take care of
themseh•es."
It was not either of the Lambtons,
but le}llis, who, discreet, es usual,
though }ookiag mightily curious. just
put his head in at the door, and eu"iJli- tt
utg apologetically, said: I

"Ah!" said the count—"indeed! I no
ticed signs of unusual excitement in the
yard. \]'hat has happened?"
"Tell us your news first, count, and
let's see if we can help you," said Nu- 1
gent. "Anybody i11 I hope not."

P g
little eyes upon Nugent's ingenuous face
"The fact is, gentlemen, we are hurl
alarmed at the villa by the unaccount
able dig a
PP ar
e
e ante of the Princess' i•-
ons!
"What I" exclaimed Nugent, amazed
then he exchanged glances with poo
Bell, and looked down.
Simple Bell, of course, at once Tooke
toward the curtains. Both men knew a
once what Hal had been engaged in, bu
both were puzzled to comprehend hi
return. Where was the princess?"
"Yes," said the count, upon whom nei
ther Nugent's averted gaze. nor Bell'
confusion were lost; "yes, the princes
had retired to her room, complaining o
a headache."
"They always do; that's the excuse,
muttered Nugent.
"I beg your pardon," said the count
bending forward.
"Pray go on," said Nugent.
"Complaining of a slight headache, her
companion refrained from disturbing her
until the hour for dinner, when knock-
ing, and not receiving any answer, she
deemed it best to leave her mistress,
concluding she was asleep, undisturbed.
Imagine our astonishment and distress,
my lord, when, upon return, we discov-
ered her highness' room empty, and no
sign of her to be discovered in any part
of the house or grounds!"
Nugent nodded. He couldn't express
any astonishment, for he had jumped at
the'whole truth.
"Of course you gave the alarm?" said
Nugent, for the sake of saying some-
thing.
The count smiled.
"You have forgotten that her high-
ness' reputation was at stake. We high-
ness'
not even apprise her father or a servant
of her disappearance, but I, myself,
started in pursuit to Baden."
"Why to Baden?" said Nugent.
"Because—for a hundred reasons,"
said the count, waving his hand. "As
you see, I failed to overtake her, or to
discover any trace of her."
l "A thousand :!Janke, any lord. Cie
tlemen, I must take uty leave. (Soo
night, or, rather, good -morning, for
see the dawn is at hand."
And, with his most finished bow,
walked out.
Almost before the hall door had close
Ilal burst out from behind the cunni
al aflame with passion.
"Oh, Nugent, i'nt on fire 1 To hea
the old scoundrel talk in that cold bloo
-way of hunting her down, and not b
able to knock the life nut of his va
niched old body !"
"Steady !' exclaimed Nugent. "He'
hear you, and be back to put a bull
through your unvarnished body ! An
so that is your little game, Maste
]331 !'
"Ola, Hal !" groaned Bell.
"Anal did you think 1 was going t
leave her to the mercy of that hear
less old wretch ?" almost shouted Ha
Do you know that he meant to car
her off to Russia to -day ?"
"And, instead, you kcal e carried her—
where ?" said Nugent.
Tial cooled down,
"Look here, Nugent, and you, Bell,"
he said, wiping the perspiration from lois
face, ""there's no tune to tell you all
about it; the princess isn't five-ancl-
twenty !miles from here, and if he gets
scent of her whereabouts, we are lost,"
E "What ! and you left her alone 1" ex-
- claimed Nugent.
"Is it likely Y" retorted. Hal. "No, ,
Jeanne is with her."
"And Vane, too Y" exclaimed Nugent
sinking into a chair, laugbing with re
lief.
"No, not Vane,' said Hal. "I don'
know where is 1"
n wnseehe.
• And Nugent started up again.
"And—and you have left your sister
- 1 —those two girls alone ! — where, i
the nam ea
eofH rent
"At Durbach,"said Hal. "They're quite
safe—George is at the inn.'
r "At an inn," groaned Bell—"Jeanne
at an inn 1"
d 1 "Yes," said. Nugent, grinning, "that's
t it. Your lover will sacrifice anything,
t his sister, his grandmother—to get 1us
s , way 1 By George ! we must send Mrs.
Fleming at once. Why didn't you tell
some one—Vane, any of us Y"
s ! "Didn't I come back for Vane Y" said
s Hal, feeling himself injured. '"Where is
f Vane ?"
„ i "And Lane, and Lady Lucelle ?" de-
manded Nugent.
Tial waved his hand.
`'All able to take care of themeselvea,"
he said, `'but Jeanne and Verona aren't,
and so I'in going back to them, and I
wish I hadn't left thein.'
"_And afterward ?" asked Nugent.
"Yon heard what he said; the port's
watched, detectives on the lookout; do
you think, my dear, simple young buc-
caneer, that you are going to carry off
his excellency's bride as easily as if she
1 were a suck of potatoes ?" 1 -
"1 don't know," said Hal, quietly;
"but I'm quite certain of one thing—
hat, if if his excellency and I happen to
1 meet, I shall put a bullet through him
or receive one from hhu. I may not be
able to marry Verona, but he never shall
I swear. And now I'm off."
"Stop—stop lain, Lord Nugent!" cried
Bell, in an agony of apprehension. "He'll
do something rash—and—and—he must
be hungry."
"No, but I'm thirsty," said Hal, can-
didly. "Give me some wine, and let me
get back. I can't rest a moment"
"Is there a decent horse left in the
etable?" said Nugent, coolly.
Then Bell brought some wine and bis -
suits, and Hal went to his room and
plunged his head into a basin of water;
nd, when lie cane back, the two friends
ad made out some sort of a plan.
It was rranged that Hal should ride
back to Durbach and acquaint Jeanne
with Vane's absence and the count's
visit; she could then cane back if she
chose. For the rest, Nugent and Bell
were to drive Mrs. Fleming over to Dur-
bach in the morning.
"As to Vane," groaned Nugent, "it
would be useless to look for him as to
hunt for a needle in a bottle of hay.
And as for Clarence and Lady Lucelle,
they may go to—to heaven, for what
I care."
Ilal drank half a bottle of Johannes -
berg, and ate about half a pound of bis-
cuits, and then the three went into the
stable, and finding all quiet, smuggled
out a hunter of Lord Nugent's, which,
fortunately for him, a groom had locked
up in a stable of which he had kept the
key.
Here you are," said Nugent, helping
Hal to saddle him. "Dick Turpin's ride
to York pales before the amount of
equestrianism which has been going on
here this evening. Don't lame him if
you can help it, Hal. Thank Heaven,
you and I have never been in love—'eh,
Bell?"
Bell sighed.
"Take care, Hal," he says. Hal leaps
into the saddle. "And—and don't alarm
Jeanne about Vane."
"All right," says Hal, and the next
minute he is off and away.
"And now to go and have a bath, and
prepare for the volumes of interroga-
tories which Mesdames Maud and Geor-
gina will overwhelm us with," said Nu-
gent. "A nice task, to try and persuade
two sharp young ladies that all this
mystery means nothing. If I only know
where Vane was!"
Hal went very quietly and cautiously,
but he might just as well have dashed
off at a gallop, for no sooner had he left
the avenue than the count, who had been
watching and waiting for his appearance
quietly mounted Verona's own horse, and
followed at a safe and discreet distance,
but quite near enough to keep his quarry
within sight and sound.

"The telegraph," said Nugent. h
The count shrugged his shoulders.
"All of no avail. Using my influence
at the Government office, I telegraphed
to every station on the various roads
from here to the seacoast and inland,
but we have utterly failed to find any
trace of her. As a last resource, my
lord, I ventured to disturb your rest—"
Nugent shook his head.
"You haven't done that, count."
"And to implore your assistance. I
conjure you to relieve our anxiety, if it
be in your power to do so."
"On my honor," said Nugent, "1 have-
n't the least idea of the princess' where-
abouts. Until you informed me, I did
not know that she was missing."
"And your reverence?" said the count.
Poor Bell shook his head dolefully.
The count looked from one to the oth-
er.
"Pardon me," he said, with his court-
liest bow, "may I be excused from in-
quiri.;g the cause of the extraordinary
bustle in the yard:"
"Certainly," said Nugent. "The fact
i, some of our friends have left for Eng-
land to-night—suddenly."
"Ah!" said the count—"as I thought!"
And his face went to an extraordinary
and even alarming yellow.
"What do you mean?" demanded Nu-
gent, abruptly. "Do you think the
princess has gone with them?"
The count shrugged his sholders sig-
nificantly, then he smiled and smoothed
his hat with a hand that trembled with
suppressed passion.
"That, my lord, is my conjecture;
but—" and he lowered his voice just
when another man would have raised
it—"but if that be the right solution,
my anxiety is at an end. Long
before this, friends of mine,
upon whore I can rely, are
watching at the port, armed with the
prince's authority to arrest the princess'
progress and communicate with me. My
lord, I have the pleasure to assure you
that your friends will not succeed in
their plot to destroy the happiness of a
whole family."
"Meaning yourself, count," said Nu-
gent, with ominous calmness. "My
friends, if you allude to the marquis and
marchioness," are, unfortunately, absent
from hotne, but as the marquis has done
me the honor of leaving me in his place,
I shall only be too pleased to act on his
behalf,' and be Lowen.
The count grinned with rage, but bow-
ed with the extreniest courtesy.
"I shall not forget your kind offer,
my lord, and have to ask only that you
will allow me to postpone my aceptance
for an hour or two."
"I am always at your service, count,"

"Vernoa1 Verona!"
Roused by Jeanne's voice, Verona
awakens to find the sun stealing through
the lattice window and falling on Jean-
ne's face.
"Where am I—oh, Jeanne! Yes—yes,
I remember; and I have been asleep!"
"Lilco a child, dear!" says Jeanne,
and she stoups to kiss her. Verona puts
her arae around Jeanne's neck, and then
looks at her suddenly and questioning-
ly. Is it the sun on the face that looks
down on her lovingly, or what is it that
has made .Jeanne's beauty so strangely,
so freshly bright?

Gold From Water Faucet,
(Rene correspondene of San Francisco
Chronicle.)
Though it has long been known that
gold is plentiful in Humboldt county, it
is not definitely known that nuggets
flow through the water pipes until to-
day, when word was brought to Winne-
mucca from Spring Valley to this effect.
Mrs. Slater, a young woman who went
to Spring Valley a few weeks ago to
teach school, turned on the water faucet
yesterday morning, when a bright gold
nugget rolled out. Several particles of
fine gold also accompanied. it. It is be-
lieved the metal came from rich placer
ground located close to the water supply,
and more of the metal is expected.

the opponents of woman suffrage a year
ago.
THE CAUSE OF
TO STOP KICKING.
PLAYS A TRICK ON I{ICKING HORSE
WHICH WORIfS WELL.
A novel scheme to prevent a horse
from kicking was introduced lately by a
truekuman in front of tate New York Cen-
tral Station at Buffalo. The truckman
recently traded his horse for an animal
that looked superior to the one he drove.
lie drove the horse down to the depot
stand yesterday for the first time. A
few minutes after arriving there he
learned to his sorrow, that the animal
was afflicted with the kicking habit;
that is, kicking when standing still.
The animal was so proficient with his
heels that ho knocked off a section of
the dashboard. The truckman had no,
other horse to use, so had to put• up
with the kicker.
In the meantime, bowover, lie be-
gan to think of a scheme to break
the animal. He decided on one last
night, and this morning when he took
his place at the depot he brought
forth two heavy pieces of rope. These
}1e attached to the bit, on each side
and the other ends he fastened to
straps which circled each hind leg,
just above the hoof. Tho horse not-
iced the strange action of its new
owner, tv et, but remained 'very quiet. A
number of truckman watched the pro-
ceedings 7 s
with interest.

Several minutes elapsed before the
horse got uneasy and tried to throw lois
heels against the wagon box. The
at-
tempted elevation of
his heels pulled the
ropes taut, and the animal's head was
jerked quickly toward the pavement.
Surprise seemed to overcome the horse
and for some time lie did not again try
to kick. He apparently was not satisfied
and in a little while he tried it again.
His hind feet never left the pavement,
but instead he was thrown to his knees,
by the quick pull on the bit: The horse
continued to kick for a time, but to no
effect.
The truckman told a number of friends
that he learned of this method of break-
ing a kicking horse in the West. He
said it would take time to effect the
cure, but in the end the animal will be
as docile as a lamb.

• ONIONS BRING SLEEP,
It is Healthy Slumber Because Opium
Furnished is Small.
The present popularity of the onion as
an article of diet, so great as to have
caused comment in Philadelphia and
many other places, is perhaps to be ex-'
plained by the fact as set forth by a
physician that the onion is a cousin to '
the poppy and contains a mild form of
opium,
"As far as onions produce drowsiness,”
says this doctor, "it would do about as
well to use their juice as a smelling
salt as to eat them, though the effect!
would not perhaps be so long. The rea- I
eons that onions are heathy is that they
induce quiet sleep. The idea that they
are particularly good for the digestion a
is partly erroneous, especially when
they are fried. Opium is bad for the .
digestion, but the little that is contained
in the onion does not harm."

Teeming Millions of India.
(Chicago Chronicle.)
According to figures printed in the
British blue book and based on the latest
census British India ]las a population of
294,000,000. This is 41,000,000 more than
it was twenty years ago, and the in-
crease is greater than was to have been
expected, in view of the high death rate,
which was partly due to repeated fam-
ines. One hundred and ninety-two mil-
lions of people support themselves by
agriculture, and live chiefly on rice.
There are less than 3,000,000 Christians
in India, of whom 2,600,000 are natives.
More than two-thirds of the whole popu-
lation can neither read nor write. In
ten years the taxes have increased from
6 cents per capita to 45 cents.

Easy Marks in the Four Hundred.
The motley crew of millionaires and
social parasites which massed around
Justice Deuel's disastrous legal boom-
erang throw a somewhat garish light on
our American pseudo aristocracy—the so-
called four hundred, whose daily life is
chronicled in the newspapers- and whose
golden feasts- and functions excite the
gaping envy of the lowly. One can hard-
ly blame the judge and his benignant
old lieutenant for "leeching" such juicy
and easy marks. The most startling
feature of the case is the way in which
hard-headed, unsenetitnental-, captains of
finance succumbed to the attack.

And vanlshctlt like a wraith.

That watercth barren fields,
And the decert haste it falletil on
A bountiful harvest yields.
Doubt is the child of grin despair,
Wile loads to a desolate realm,
Belief is a pilot to harbors calm,

And court doubt's bleats no more.

SODA TO SET CEMENT.
Interesting Experiment Made by Maker
I . of Roofing Tiles.
Rock Products reports the following
interesting experiment:
In making cement roofing tiles it is
often found that they take a long time
to set or harden. One of the makers of
these roofing tiles, who had seen con-
siderably troubled with slow -setting Be-
ment, noticed that plasterer facing a
wall with cement, threw a handful of
soda into the mixing pot. On inquiry
it was found that the purpose of 4 tea
was to make the cement set qui';kly.
The roofing tile -maker went home s nd
tried the experiment himself. The ; e-
sults appeared satisfactory, since whirs
time he has added a handful of soda to
each sack of cement and has had Ito
further trouble from slow setting. It
remains to be seen though what in the
long run will be the effect upon the qa al-
ity and durability of the product.
