ClIA.PTER VI.
The day that Mrs, Starner and her
two daughters went to Warwick,Young
Aubyn called at Clapham, Common, and
was told by floe servant that the anis-
tress and the young ladies had left
town for some time, bo.t whither they
had gone the speaker did not know
No member of the family was at home
A.ubyn got back to the City as so°
a. penny reward, and that one svae, Fred-
erick XV., Grand. 1)ake a Odenwald.
At last he was free to go. He wrete
no line to &ny one. He left no address
of the peaces he should stop at. He
communicated to no mae even the name
of the line of steamboats he intended
takixg. pessa, e by
Midnight ot the deg he left London
• found him in Paris. On the second day
. he reached Lyons, on the third Mar-
seilles. He roe ht have gone quicker :
as he could, and called on the eldest
brother, Charlie, who was the greatest
of his friends among the sons.
'So yoar mother and the girls have
left town this morning?'
Left town What do yoU mean?'
$0,id Ch.arlie, with much surprise.
'Gone away for some time. I have
just teed out on the Common. The
servant did mot know where they had
gone.'
You arna,ze Me. 1 heard nothitig of
this mita eow. The governor cua not
come in with me this morning, I am
sure neither my mother nor the girls
knew aesthing of it last night up to
the time I saw them.'
Then it must be your father who ar-
ranged this going away. Charlie,' said
young Aulseu significantly,
Charlie did not. speak, but looked
down a.t his boots, and shifted hie feet
uneasily.
I am sorry he did this,' said Atilayn
hotly. 'I am very sorry your father
thought it neceesary to do this. It
looks as i he mistook me for a dishon-
ourable man.
I will bet, my life he thinks eotbing
of the kind,' said Merlin warmly. '1
knoer tie has the greatest respect for
you.'
Eaeli knew what wa,s in the mind of
the other, but neither cared to speak
out.
'If he did not wish me IA) tall, he
might ha.ve told me so,' said Aubyn bit-
terly. 1 may be infernally poor,Char-
lie, but I am not mean enouglm to ask
any girl to run away with a beggar.'
'I am sure the governor knows that
as well as I do. I am certain, Walter,
he never thought of anything a the
kind,. You know he has his fads, like
all a to..
Well, Charlie, I am. vexed, end, I
think not without a little cause. I do
not want to force myself at the Com-
mon, and of course I shall not go
there agate unless your father ask's
me—o
Tha,t's nonsense. I am, sure the gov-
eraor would be delighted if you came
down to dinner to -day.'
This Charlie knew as an evasion of
the real point.
Ay, ay. I am not, I hope, going to
quarrel with your father ;and. I hope
you and I will be always friends, Char -
As long as we live,said the other
most cordially, holding out his hand.
.A.11 right, old man. And now I have
come to say good-bye to you, and to
ask you. to say good-bye to the other
boys for me.'
' 13at you are not going away to -day?
I understood that you were to be more
than it week in London,'
So I may be; but I have things to
do, and I shall not look you. or any of
the others up again. But I may tell
you one thing before I go, that, as sure
as my name is Aubyn„ you and I will
be more to one another than we
are to -day.
As he said these words he shook and
pressed the hand he held.
' And look here, Walter,' said Loo's
brother, with no less good feeling, 'the
day that we are, there will not be a
happier man in London than I.'
' Except me,' said Aubyn, smiling.
Ale she is my sister, and I must say
no more than that nothing could de-
light me more than to believe there
was one happier man, and. that was
you.'
' Good-bye, Charlie, and be good to
her while I am away! I Will come back
as sooa as ever I can.'
'God speed you, and send you safe
home again!' said Charlie; and so the
two friends parted.
eefter that, in spite of all his haste.
Aubyn could not get away frora London
for it week-. He had to realise the pro-
perty he had, and get three outfits, one
for the temperate one for the torrid,.
and one for the frigid zone; for, as far
as he could see, he relight have to pass
a while in all three. Then he had to
buy a breechloading smoothbore which
threw a heavy ball at a low velocity;
for he wanted a weapon which would
stop a man, whether it wounded him
mortally or not. In addition to these
things he required ROMS maps, a pock-
et compass, a chronometer, and ali the
ordiaary things needed by a man who
wanted to carry the least possible quan-
tity of baggage on a long journey to
the East.
• All this time his thoughts were of
of Imo.
Yes, he had made up his naind to find
that thief, grind the jewel out of his
clutch, carry it to Odenwald, claim the
reward, and then come back and mar-
• ry Loo in spite of her father, if her
father still resisted, He did not care
for her father. He knew he loved her
better than ataything else in life, and
he knew she loved him; and as soon
as he had enoUgh to keep her comfort-
ably on he meant to marry- her. What
right had her father to come between
her and him, No doubt that reward
wouldrusi up to ten thousand pounds.
Brincken had told him it would run
high. Ten thousand pounds would give
them four or five hundred a year; and
quiet, people who 3oved one another,
and did not go into society, could live
comfortably on four or five hundred
a year ; and then, when he was married
andhad settled down, he should make
some money by his art—put it down
low, say a couple or three hundred a
year. With seven or eight hundred a
year they could live not only comfort-
ably, but handsomely. Yes, he should
pick up that Asiatic, knock him down,
whip the gem out of his Clutch, and
lay it before the Grand Duke of Oden-
wald. He felt quite sure all this would
come to pass. •Then he would send the
money over to England by some safe
bank, buy shares in railways with it,
and marry Lao.
Thug there were three people in
Europe who believed he would bring
back the jewel to its late owner, name-
ly, the Grand nuko Frederick of Oden-
wald, Lollies, Stainer, and Walter Au-
; and there was ate of these three
who was quite sure he would never get

go and forged away from, the pier. The
sixth day brought him to Naples,svhere
he had the pleasure of seeing Vesuvius,
and of hearing one a the most barbar-
ous dialects of Italian spoken by a lot

go anchor in Port Said. Here she was

at piece of paper, he showed. it to

nouncing his owe name as it Frenchman

Frenehraan, bowing again.

The Frenchmen waved Isis hand, put-

was clue. to him.
' You have nothing to apologise to
me for said he reeasuringly. Then.
! =ailing, he added, 'On the contrary, I
1 lave to thank you for allowing me to
fall into a most useful understanding;
I because, by representing that I was
'
Iacting in the interests of justice, I was
enabled to do all you required without
the least difficulty. The officers of the
!steamers ashore and afloat gave me
' every facility; in fact, they far exceed-
ed any kindness I could have dared to
expeet from them, for they were good
enough to assure all the passengers
that it was the custom to photograph
in groups all travellers before enter-
ing the Canal. Here are the photo-
graphs.'
1,\ hen, the day after Fuego had been
stolen, Au.byn decided upon following up
the Oriental, and conceived the idea of
telegraphing to Port Said, he had found
out the names of the three steamers
which would next pa.ss eastsvard
through Suez, after allowing the thief
time to get from Odenwald as far as
that station. In his telegram he had.
not only asked M. Jules Leriviere to
take two views of the forward passen-
gers of steamers about to go through,
but he furnished the Frenchman with
the name of each boat, so that there
was no danger of mistake: Aubyn had
made up his* mind that the Asiatic -would
be found among the forward passengers,
for that was the part of the vessel in
which individuals hae the least chance
of close scrutiny.
Now he held in his hand photographs
containing portraits of every • man,
woman, and child who had gone forward
by each of these three steamers.-
' Had you any difficulty with any one
•of the passengers?' asked Aubyn, close-
ly examining the first of the photo-
graphs.
• No—nothing you. could call a Mils
culty.'
Ah, I expected net P thought Au-
byn. This thief raa.y be a fanatic, but,
like all men afflicted with monomania.,
his mind is not only not diseased, but
is peculiarly clear, on other points. I
knew he would make MD opposition to
appearing as one of a group, for to dca
so would. be to expose himself to com-
ment. Besides, he could not know but
that the photographing had really been
by the direction of the police, and that
any. deraonstration, however slight,
against it would insure his immediate
arrest.' He asked. aloud,
ONor was there anything which par-
ticularly struck your attention about
any of the passengers ?!. •
'I think not. Indeed, the only fea-
tare of any interest at all was of a lud-
icrous -nature. On board one of the
steamers --the Catalan—was a particu-
larly ill -looking Asiatic, with a horribly
broken nose—a nose with a piece knock-
ed clean out of the profile—'
Aubyn dropped the photograph, and
cried eagerly. '
Yes; go on!
' The sailors made a dead -set on him,
and insisted, as a joke, that since he
wee the beat -looking raan aboard, he
should be put in the most prominent
part of the group. The unfortunate As-
• iatic seemed almost frightened to death.
Be made no resistance, but sat down
in the front row,- as you will see in
these two photographs at „which you•
have not yet loelsede
• Aubyn seized the two'eartes held out
to him, and fixing his eyes first on one
and then on the other, turned pale with
excitement. He did not, however, say
anything. • He thought it as well that
Tao one but himself should have any
idea of how important was the discov-
ery he had made. •For there, beyond
all Chance of mietake, in the centre of
the front row, sat the A.siatic, with
the broken nose and narrow face and
receding chin and forehead, who had
left blurred outlines of his profile on
the sensitised plate that night of the
robbery at Oderiwald.
His guess had been right, and he
was on the track.
13y a powerful effort he =atoned
himself, let the two photographs fall
from his fingers to the table, and. look-
ing au with a smile, said
TIMES
` And what wee this ill-favoured Asis

It would be as welt that he should
have knowledge of the Physique of
the men with whom, at no distant day,
leo might find himself at close quarters.
'Notwithstanding his small head and
narrow weak face, he was a man of
large frame. If you. look, and even
make allowance for the fact that the
camera waa focussed for him, you will
see- he it the biggest. man in the group
—a, bigger man then you; and you are
not to be despised.'
And I suppose fairly well made?'
'No, not well made—weedy and -sunk-
en in the chest ,andhollow between the
chest and the sFoulderse
' Then his height was rather against
him than in his faxour?'
'I should say so,' answered the
man.
Ale` thought Aubyn, 'I am now in
possession of two important facts which
I 'could not have obtained from the pho-
tograph aJone. He is it remarkably tall.
man and no match for rae. But then I
must not forget that I am dealing with
a. roan of it race that does not fight as
we do. In all likelihood he carries a
ereese. Well, if it comes to that, it's
a question of a smooth -bore slow -velo-
city breechloader presented or clubbed
in the hands of an Englishman, to a
knife in the hands of it weak-kneed Tie
betian; and. as I take an interest in the
coming fight, I don't mind laying my
bottom dollar ou the son of perfidious
Albion, If he and. I meet there'a ping

says anything else, I'm greatly raistak-
en,
My dear M. Leriviere, 1 cannot tell
you how much I am obliged to you for
all your kindness in, this affair.'
' I. am only too glad to be able to do
anything I can for a brother artist,'
Aubsn ltd by this time told him he
also was a photographer.
And notwithstanding the debt of
gratitude I owe you already. I am go -
mg, it you. will, to ask another favour
of you
I shall be only too glad to do any-
thing in my power.'
'Lend me your studio for an hour,
I want to make a little water-colour

the best plaee for such a purpose.'
'You are perfectly welcome. What
do you want?'

Here you are,' said the Frenchman,
producing the things named. 1 will

Before the Frenchman caine back,
Aubyn had made a large sepia drawing,
showing the profile of the Asiatic. When
Leriviere returned, lie thanked him
again, paid hira, what be owed him, bade
him good-bye, and went on board the

Every Portion or the Roily—Ex MaYor
17freolur1blite, so.f New York, treated of Liver
scientific Men are greatly interested.
in the apparatus for the treatment of
organic diseases invented by Nicola
Testa, of New York, the young genius
of electricity. Few- are skeptical,
though many believe that Tesla may be
to enthusiastic over his disc,overy. As
a matter of fact the. young electrician
makes no claim for his invention that
it ie a. cure-all. He simply says that in
many cases he has been able to improve
the health of his friends, and that he
will wait for some competent: physician
testo givets. his iavention a. series of practical
His theory is that tho proper exercise
for the body is that which will reach
the atoms, and give strength to every
portion of the body. Physical exercise,
such as walking or horse -back riding,
he believes to be of great benefit to the
system, but for complete exercise each
atoni of the body should be reached.
Acting upon this theory he has made it
possible to give to the system by means
of electricity the much needed exercise.
He goes further and declares that by
varying his apparatus he can give speci-
al treatment to any portion of the body
that may need. strengthening.
When ataerson's ailm.ent, for instance,
Ls caused by torpidityof the liver, Mr.
Tesla says, the physicians order the pa-
tient to take much and -
VIOLENT EXERCISE,
such as riding. Now, aceording to Mr.
Tesla, if the patient will just take a
seat on his apparatus he will get in
half a minute the equivalent of a whole
day's iide. And, beat of all, he will not
be subjected. to any jolting such as he
gets on horseback, nor does he exper-
ience any of the fatigue incident to rid-
ing. But, notwithsta,nding the absence
of these characteristics, the patient
will have received as thorough a shaking
up, as if he had. been trotting for dear
life all day long.
The apparatus accomplishes this by
means of tiny, but none the less power-
ful, electric shocks at -the rate of 100
per seemed, and. distributed so evenly
through the system that one scarcely
perceives any alteration of his condition.
Ex -Mayor Abram. S. Hewitt, of New
York, recently visited Mr. Tesla's labor-
atory and.'complained that he was trou-
bled with his liver.
"I have been taking something for it
for some time," said Mr.Hewitt, "but I
"I think I can fix that; just Mt down
don't seem. to be getting any better."
here and excuse me a minute," replied
Mr. Tesla, pointing to a chair and hand-
ing Mr. Hewitt a, newspaper.
Then Tesla went out, ostensibly hi
sear& of some nostrum he had tried,
but in reality to turn on the
EVROTRIC CURRENT.,
When. he returned, in it minute or so,
Mr. Hewitt seemed an entirely changed
man. He said, alter Tesla had explamed
that the chair Nithere093, Mr. Hewitt had
been sitting was loaded with eleetricity,
that he had, felt a sort of creeping !sen-
sation, but of a rather pleasant nature
and not it all assonated with the ordin-
ary notion of the way in which elec-
tricity manifests itself. And as to his
illness, Mr. Hewitt acknowledged that
it seemed to have entirely vanished.
Unlese Mr. TesIals Jec•pes are vididnary
—and there see.ms to be no reason why
they should be tonsidered so—persoris
who need exercise and have no time to
take it need mily step upon the new ap-
paratus and take a hundred -mile epee

anybody suffer from sleeplessness on ac-
count of lack of exercise, he eau sit
down, light, a pipe, andread. a paper un-
til he has taken the equiva,lent of a run
around the track and then sleep as

that feat.

Great fortunes' are made by poor
and obscure men hi England; as well as
in America, Bernath,the leader of
the recent mania for speculation in
South African mining stooks in the Lon-
don market, went out to the Cape as
a juggler and down in a travelling Mr -
taus with hardly more than a sovereign
in his pooket. He is now worth- many
Millions, and is a:bout to bald a palace
in Piccadilly.
One of the stories told about him is
that he found it bit of quartz, with gold
in it, without knowing what it was.
The °haus ha,d uot been successful. It
had gone front one mining camp to an-
other, and had been deberted by the
performers until very little of it re-
mained. At last it was reduced to the
ringmaster, a busier, a trick mule and
the clown. One night the ringmaster
and the bugler disappeared, and the
°town was left behind with the mule.
It was at the lowest ebb of his for-
tunes, when be was stranded in the
intezior of Africa, liko a castaway, that
he chanced, to find in one of lus aim-
less strolls the piece of rook, which had
the promise of it gold mine behind it.
Ile took it to the nearest town and.
asked what it was, and was told that
there was gold in it. When pressed
to ex -Nam where he had found it, he
was shrewd enough to evade the ques-
tion, and to keep the seoret looked in
lais own breast.
He waited until he had financial sup-
port behiud him and could purchase for
a song it great tract, which eventually
proved to be one of vast mineral wealth.
That was the beginning of a marvel -
bus career, which carried the circus
clown back to London as the c,entral
figure of a speeulative bubble without
parallel in recent times.
Colonel North, when a Yorkshire lad,
went to South America with his fortune
in hia trousers' pocket, and that not it
deep one. He was a poor, ueeducated
youth of humble origin,. without pros-
pects 'in the world, and with, only it
smattering of engineering.
Ile went up the west coast from. Val-
paraiso, and obtained, employment as a
surveyor in the recently diseovered ni-
trate regime The Chilean war with
Bolivia, and Peru came on, and the nr-
trate provinces were devastated, con-
quered and impoverished. It was an op-
portunity for an acute observer cap-
able of looking a long way ahead.
The young surveyor had formed an
acourate estimate of the mineral re-
sources of the 'conquered provinces, and
when the war closed he found means
for purchasing the nitrate claines and
railways at very low figures, and for
securing control of what was destined to
become an enormous bneiness. He is
now a inulti-millionaire, lives like a
P112100 on a great estate near London,
and 15 the leader of financial' enter-
prises of vast magnitude.
The career of Milerist, the diamond
king of the Isle of Man, is another ex-
ample of the modern romance of a poor
young man.
These successes are phenomenal. They
are not presented here as examples for
emulation, for failure ordinarily follows
haste to get rich.
The true way, in fact the only =re
way, for even the -swell-endowed man
to win in business life, is by good sense,
industry and unwearied persistence.
This embodies it universal law. Its
violation has blasted. business reputa-
tions without number, and has opened
the door for wretchedness and poverty
to enter many a happy home.
A DOG THAT SMOKES A PIPE. .
This Ts a Fresh Story From raris, 'Where
the Dog Is Now Well Idnolvii.
There is never an end. to wonders in
Paris. The latest freak in merry Gaul
is a dog that smokes! The animal
a, Newfoundland, and he stooke.s a Mg
pipe regularly every morning.
Until quite recently, the "dog that
smokes" was only known to a few per-
sons who were accustomed to rise early
in the morning and attend the early
auction of the Central Markets. There
an old cafe is to be seen, where for a
couple of sous one can purchase a cup
of hot coffee and it crust of fresh bread.
The sign of the "Dog That Smokes" is
well- known to countrymen who bring
their eartloads of vegetables into the
city every morning and to hungry stud-
ents who have not been able to save
more than a few sous from the previous
days earnings. But to all others the
"dog that smokes" was a sort of myth,
and few visitors to the gay city have
ever heard of it.
But now the dog that smokes is no
longer a fable; but the prou.d beast. may
be seen with the pipe on the Lop of his
owner's wagon as he hauls trunks and
cases from the Northern of France Rail-
road to the Eastern line.
The joy of the little boys and. passers -
lay when they catch sight of the dog
is great. They all stop and stare at
him,. The owner says that hardly a day
passes without their being among the
crowd some enthusiastic person who
gives the driver a packet of tobacco for
his dog. It not infrequently happens
that when the driver reaches home -after
his day's work, he has over a pound of
tobacco for the canine smoker.
But the clog that smokes does not get
all of this. The driver himself is an
inveterate smoker, but he takes good
care not to enjoy the luxury at the same
time as his Newfeu.ndland. He has dis-
covered a new method of keeping him-
self in tobacco for several years to come.
He says that he has over two hundred
pounds°"Of tobacco stored at his home,
all given to him for "the dog that
smokes," but which, of course, the ani-
mal is linable to smoke in its entirety.
Ile little thought, whenhe gave the
sagacious Balinese hie first lesson in
smoking that his liberal education
would be so productive of the fragrant
weed.

AN OLD-TIME MUTINY.
e -e-1
Crew or the Schooner Marla KIR the
Captain, Mate and Others—Prisoners
Released.
A despatch from Sao. Francisco says;
—Particulars of a mutiny from. the An-
drew Islauds on board the American
trading schooner Maria. Capt. I3rown,
have been received. Capt. Brown, Mate
Hermann Hatalmenn, and it passenger
were murdered in cold blood by the
crew, and Mrs. Brown and her son
nearly killed by blows from an axe.
After killing the captain, mate and the
passenger, late at night, the Schooner
was headed for the Andrew Islands,
and Mrs. Brown and her boy were kept
close prisoners it being the intention
of the mutineers to put them ashore on
an. isolated coral reef near the islands.
Before, the islands were reached the
Chinese cooks, native sailors and boats-
wain ,get to fighting among theneseleres,
and kruyes were drawn. Two half-
breeds were killed instantly, and an-
other died of wounds received. All of
the mutineers were wounded. Provis-
ions gave out. and when oruising off
the Andrew islands the ecb.00ner was
manned by the boatswain, two Chinese
and it half-breed. The schooner was
steered into port, and the Xing of the
I.slands gave the murderers food enough
to last them for ',several sveeks. Before
the vessel sailed again., however, the
Ring lemma euspieious, boarded the
craft, revue d Mrs. Browa and her boys
the former more dead than alive, and
took the auutineera prisoners. The
Spanish gunboat Vales= Dut in at An-
drew Islands, and took the reurderere
to Manilla, for trial.
No Mance to Brag In -Heaven.
"Mr, Moody has a popular and very
telling way of 'hitting' the errors which
are so rife in the theological thinking
of many persons to -day. Speaking; of
salvation by grace he has said: 'it is
well that a man' can't save himself;
for if a man could. only work his own
way into heeven, you never would hear
the last of it. Why, down here in, this
world, if a. inan happens to get it little
ahead of his fellows, and serapes a few
thousand dollars together, you.% hear
him bragging: about being a self-made
man, and telling how he began as a
poor boy and worked his way up ha
the world. I've heard so much of this
sort of thing that .I'm sick and tired of
the whole business; and Im glad we
shan't have men bragging through all
eternity how they worked their way
into lica.ven,"
