CHAPTER XIV.
So the clergyman was noue other
;hon our versatile American passim-
;er in a new disguise. 1 should cer-
';tinly never have penetrated it, and
oven now 1 was not sure whether my
late visitor, "the newly -appointed
English chaplain," was Kennard
himself or an emissary.
Speculation on this head wan fu-
tile, for the blessed fact remained
hat I was possessed of the means of
es'aapt, and my first act was to con-
ceal the articles about my person,
lest they should b.: unearthed by the
wretches whom I could now truly
describe as "keepers." In the
course of bestowing the things about
ate, I made the welcome discovery*,
which in my excitement X had
omitted to look for before, that my
pocket -book, containing between
seventy and eighty pounds in Eng-
lish stoney, was still in my pos-
sat::;h,:,. On the other hand, my
lona had been taken away—two
'mot, hieh spoke at least of a bona
]d, u, lief in my madness on the
;tart of the proprietor of the asy-
lam.
MY watch, which had been left to
mc, told that there were still four
hours to wait before 1 could com-
mence operations, and slowly the
time dragged indeed. During the in-
tervel I had two more visits from
the unwashed trio who acted as
warders—once to supply mo with
supper, and lastly to see that all
was secure for the night. It was;
not till after they had left me some
time on the second occasion that,
the sun baying now set, 1 began the
attack on the window.
fly raising the narrow truckle bed
on end, I improvised a, ladder which
enabled Hie to work on the bars
without having to hang on with
one hand, and I then brought tho
Ale into play. Every now and then
some distant noise in the building
would cause mo to stop and listen,
en fear lest the steady rasping T data
obliged to make had attracted at-
tention, but no One came my way,
and in an hour and a half from com-
mencing I had an aperture big en-
ough to squeeze through. To make
fast the cord. and swing myself down
was easy work to a sailor, and in
a very few minutes I had crossed the
tangled garden and reached the
'-angle on the boundary wall without
mt.•eting a soul or hearing a sound
to denote that my flight was dis-
covered. A hasty examination of
the wall proved it to be so rugged
with age that there was easy foot-
hold. I was up and over in no time,.
to find myself standing in a dark,
tree -bordered lane, and 1 had hardly
touched ground when a figure emerg-
ed from the gloom.
"Is that Forrester •'r' came in the
welarome tones of Kennard's natural
voice, but almost whispered.
"Yes, thanks to you, her I am,"
I replied, scarcely breathing.
"Not a word more till we are be-
yond range of pursuit," he proceed-
ed ; "follow me, and leading the
xray along the lane, he turned into a
11r1d which wo crossed till we came
to a disused barn. Having drawn
me inside and shut the door, Kon -
nerd lit a candle, and searching
under a pile of straw produced a
ipundle of clothes.
"There," the said, tossing it to
ate, "we can talk now without dan-
of being overheard. In the eye of
the Italian law you aro an escaped
lunatic, and liable to recapture, but
if you will got into that toggcry
while I spin my yarn, I hope to be
able t0 steer you out of Genoa
without trouble. It is not the police
we have to fear, but a treacherous
hound whom I have a pretty shrewd
suspicion is our friend the stowa-
way„
"feu mean Vizard ? You have
seen him ?" I exclaimed.
"So 1 You have had an opportun-
ity of recognizing the stowaway's
voice, and it was as I expected ?"
replied Kennard eagerly, "In that
case," he continued, "you had bet-
ter take tho floor first, and run
through the heads of what has hap-

pened to you since we met last.
But get into those clothes while we
talk. There is no time to spare. "
It will be remembered that Ken-
nard went ashore to look after
Zavertal, and had therefore not been
on board the Queen of Night when
Vizard made his appearance. So it
was at that point that I began, and
while transforming myself into n
fair semblance of an Italian fisher-
man 1 recapitulated the incidents
that preceded my visit to the Con-
sulate. Sitting on a truss of straw
in the flickering camile-Iight, Ken-
nard hear:: me to the last without
remark, Then he said :
"Your experience fits in with
urine thorouiahly, and clears up the
only point that was puzzling me-.
how tho Consul was fooled into
playing into their hands. You acted
a little too much on impulse, my
friend, You have to thank your
high-handed treatment of Vizard for
the rough time you have been hav-
ing. It would have been better ..o
have played possum and not to have
let on that you recognirtd him,
when he so obviously showed that he
wanted you to do so. Why, he went
on board—T can see plainly—with
the express purpose of provoking
you into refusing him a passage."
"flow so ?" 1' asked, quite believ-
ing hits, but still mystified as to
motives.
"Simply because your assertion
that a wealthy passenger, who pro-
duced evidence that he was in Lon-
don three days ago, was a stowa-
way landed at Barcelona, convinced
the Consul that the allegation of
lunacy which Zavertal was bringing
against you was correct. But lis-
ten," proceeded Kennard, "while I
detail my experience. Zavertal had
the start of me for the shore by ten
minutes, but by bribing my boat-
men I got ihem to spurt and reduce
the distance between us so ma-
terially that I was landed soon en-
ough to keep my man in view,
"He turned into the Via Vittore
Emanuele, then sharp to the right
up the Via San Lorenzo, and along
the Piazza Deferred to the Motel de
Genes, thus proving that so far as
his destination was concerned he had
not lied. To speak the truth gra-
tuitously was so unlike the man
that I suspected a motive. and sure
enough at the hotel entrance I found
it. IIe passed into the hall, but in-
stead of going on to the bureau to
make his inquiries, he stationed him-
self just insiclo the swing -doors and
waited, his object evidently being
to ascertain if he heel been followed
by anyone from the ship: Ile must
have expected such a person to give
himself away by either coming on
his heels into the hotel, or by look-
ing through the doors after him, but
he made a slight error, It is thirty
years since I put in my apprentice-
ship at the elementary art of
shadowing, and Doctor Zavertal
had no notion that tho seedy tout
shambling by was hot upon his
trail.
'I went on as far as the corner of
the Via Carlo Felice. - and stood
there for five minutes watching the
doorway in case it was a dodge to
slip away to some other rendezvous.
But no sign of the quarry appearing,
at the end of that time I walked
back sharply past the hotel, and by
a twist of any eye saw that he was
no longer ambushed in the en-
trance. Once more I turned, and
boldly entered the hall,
"You w111 probably give mm a
good deal more credit than I de-
serve for my next proceeding for,
though it may look smart on _ the
surface, ea was really only a °hence
shot, based on reformation which
you yourself gave me. I walked
right up to the clerk at the bureau
and asked him the number of Mr.
Vizard's room,"
"Good heavens 1" I exclaimed
"how did you arrive at that ?"
"I argued it out that, from your
showing, Zavertal had a previous ac-
quaintance with Vizard which ho
wished to conceal, that Vizard's re-

stgnaliwo of Dr, A. W, Chaos, the
'taking risks,' which you repented to
nue the other day ns overheard by
you, might have meant my contem-
plated trip, that he intended to go
In the slop In order to help
his
friend thwart Huy designs I might
have, and that as he had myster-
iously thrown up his passage at the
last moment he might nevertheless
have acted precisely as I did, and
have carne on board in an u
ssumcd
ctaract r. From that v mind
was
naturally led to the stowaway, and
to the manner in which he was set
free front his hiding -place by Za-
vertal putting young Darranmot•o
up to concealing himself in the
launch. I got fairly gripped with:
the idea that, if I was right, Vizard
would come on by rail and catch us
up here.
"i was therefore not surprised
when the t•lerie gave away the situa-
tion by asking, 'Who are you, and
why do you want to know ?' I told
hint, speaking of course in Italian,
that I had been employed to procure
some opera tickets by the Signor
who bad just gone up to Mr. Viz-
ard's room, and that I had been in-
structed to deliver thein there.
Luckily, further questioning was
stopped by a guest coming to make
inquiries of the clerk, and turning to
attend tho new -confer he promptly
got rid of me by naming the num-
ber of tete roost -14, on the first
floor.
"I found the room on the main
landing close to the head of the
staircase, in ono of the best posi-
tions in the house, but the door was
shut, and there were too marry peo-
ple about in the corridors for eaves-
dropping in the open. I was so im-
pressed with tho necessity of over-
hearing their conversation if possible
that I chanced it, and, ready with
an excuse and an apology if wanted,
entered the next room—to find it, al
I had dared to hope, unoccupied. It
was not long, I -can assure you, be-
fore my ear was glued to the wall
separating me from number 14.
"To my diegust the partition was
too thick to admit of hearing any
sustained conversation, but certain
names and disjointed sentences reach-
ed ate, which by the light of what
has happened since, and taken in
conjunction with my previously form-
ed suspicions, greatly tend to con-
firm the latter.
"l'he first words 1 made out were
in tho voice that 1 know now to be
Vizard's natural tone : 'Consul no-
toriously obstinate. Once decided,
never allow he was wrong.'
"Then, after an interval, 7aver-
tal's voice said : 'Alibi easily man-
aged. A wire to Nathan would set-
tle that' ; to which I caught the di-
rect reply : 'Let it be so then ; I
will get on board at once.'
"After another break, in which
their words were inaudible, Zaver-
tal said : 'Pietro Tfascagni of the
Saint Lucia Convent is our man. A
couple of hundred will ensure a
quietus for the meddlesome dolt '
"Then with further lengthy inter-
vals of indistinct mutterings I
caught the following words and
phrases :—
"Zavertal 'Darranmore after
leaving Naples.'
"Vizard : 'All goes well, could re-
join you at Alexandria.'
"Zavertal : 'No sign of Ken-
nard,'
'Vizard (part of direct reply to
the last) : '—not do to make too
sure. Ile night Join tho ship at any
port of call.'
"And then, Forrester," Kennard
proceeded, rising from the straw,
and putting his hand kindly on my
shoulder, "I caught n sentence—the
last I overheard—which I would not
repeat to you if I hadn't confidence
in your nerve. Of course I hove not
been so blind as aot to nolice what
every one on the ship noticed—Your
relations with the belle of tiro voy-
age."
"Cool God 1" I exclaimed, "then
the devils aro scheming against
Aline. Yes," I added, "you may
safely tell me. I shall not hamper
you with hysterics."
"Well, thes," said Kennard, "the
last broken sentence that reached me
was in Zavertal's voice : 'Tho Chat -
'tenor affair in the run from Alex-
andria to Malta.' "
"And we are stranded here," I
groaned. "Tell me, though—I won-
der I have. not asked before -how
long is it since I wes captured ?"
"Only this morning," replied Ken-
nard ; "and look here, Forrester,"
he went on, "the time is not come
for despair yet. It might be a good
deal worse. We know, at any rate,
that whatever tricks they mean to
play with Lord Dat'ranmoro aro
postponed till after the ship leaves
Naples. That must be thrd C
A a
ahead, at least ; and long before
then, with any luck, we shall be
within hail of the Queen of Night.
And what they politely call 'the
Ch llr or affair' is not to come n A a c0 0 off
till after the ship has visited Alex-
andria, which allows a wide margin
in case of any miscarriage at
Naples.
"But let me iinlsh my story, After
the last words that reached mo
there was .a continuous buzz of talk
for a quarter of an hour, then the
sound of ntovernent, and a minute
later I beardthe door of number 14
open and soma one go towards the
staircase. I was at tho door of
number 13 fn time to see that it was
a tall man—just the build of 'Ert-
rigttez,' by the way—and not for a
moment to bo mistakan for Zavertal
who had clearly remained behind to
prevent being soon with his friend
in ease they were being watched.
"1 was in ntediatety confronted
with the dilemma which of tho two
to shadow, and as X knew a lot
against the doctor, and had nothing
but suspicion against the other, I
decided to stay and keep an eyo on
Zavertal. X think now that 1 Was
wrong, and that I should have done
bettor by following Vizard on
board, for in that case you Would
never have fallen into this trap,
"Vizard disappeared down the
stairs, and 1 withdrew into the va-
cant roma: till Zavertal came out, of
number 14, when I started'on the
famous receipt book author, aro emir chaeo ttgain,+.Outside the Instal he
beery box of his rertiodier, tailed a earroza and drove to the
Convent of Santa Lucia, I follow-
ing in another cab, lie retrained
close on tut hour, and I was unable
to find out what transpired, though
I now Lwow that ho Hurst have been
arranging for your detention, and
very likely for your murder In -the
event of the Consul being hood-
winked into treating you as a luna-
tic unlit to command the ship.
"When ho left. the
Conventnt Ile
drove hack to the neighborhood of
the hotel de Genes, and for the rest
of the evening T was dodging him in
various resta.urantts, where his solo
object appears to have been to kill
time till Vizard should rejoin hint
after being turned out of the ship
by you, This occurred about nitre
o'clock, the meeting taking place
outside the hotel, after which they
walked off together to the telegraph
office in the Palazzo Ducale—I guess
for the purpose of cabling Nathan to
wireoutthat Vizard was int London
three clays ago.
"Froin the telegraph omnc they re-
turned to the hotel, and as I was
able to ascertain that the doctor
had engaged et bed, and that they
had both retired to their rooms, I
went to spend the night at a neigh-
boring inn in order to bo ready for
theta in the morning. After break-
fast the pair carne out together,
boldly this time, and went to the
Consulate, where they remained till
half an hour after X had witnessed
your arrival from a shop opposite.
Unfortunately there had been nothing
in what I had overheard to indicate
that you were to bo the victim of a
plot, and I had no notion of what
was going on till I saw you driven
away insensible by the superintend-
ent of the asylum and his assistants.
After I had shadowed Vizard back to
the hotel, Zavertal having parted
with him on the quay'to return to
the ship, I made some inquiries
which showed that it would be hope-
less to approach the Consul, so sat-
isfied was he of your condition, and
I at once set about, procuring your
escape in my own way And now,
when I have touched up your face a
little, tae will get on to the station
and catch the first train to the
south."
Drawing an actor's make-up box
from his bag, he soon tittered niy
complexion to suit the clothes I ltad
put og, and after making my own
clothes into a bundle we started to-
wards the city. Kennard got over
the difficulty of my not knowing a
word of the language by arranging
that I should feign to be dumb. Be-
fore relapsing into silence, I asked
hint what he thought of Vizard's re-
maining in Genoa.
"Ile is hero to look after you,"
was the reply, "and I should not be
surprised if he has heard of your es-
cape already. I surmize that wo
have a dangerous organization of
educated criminals to deal with, and
that Nathan is in it But I shall
know more to -morrow."
This was lively hearing, when I
had been relying on an appeal to my
employers to reinstate ane in my
command and turn the tables on Za-
vertal ; but it was no use whining
over the loss of a berth when I
was about to pit myself against hien
in a game where the issues loomed
up so much more terrible, •I had no
thought but to prevent and expose
those conspiring scoundrels, and, if
indeed lives were at stake, to save
their intended victims.
Wo reached the Staziono Drignole
with a quarter of an hoar to sparo
before the 11.40 night train to the.
south was due, and after Kennard
had taken tickets for Rome, being
fatigued and hungry, we went into
the buffet for tt snack. The place
was full bf travellers fortifying
themselves for the long run to Pisa,
and wo had some difficulty in
squeezing in to the counter, but we
managed it at last, and Kennard
did the ordering. A long mirror
stretched the length of the buffet op-
posite to us reflecting the people at
the counter, and glancing along the
line of faces while waiting to be
served, I started so violently as to
nearly capsize the soup of an old
lady next ane. Half a dozen 'places
from us stood Vizard, apparently
absorbed in dissecting the wing of a
fowl.

It is generally supposed that noth-

killing in war. That such a missild
is more powerful for long-range
shooting may be true enough, but
for destructive purposes at a short

ON THE FARM
WORK HORSES.
i University 1n his lectures at rho Un vorstty of
Illinois, Instructor Morehouse of tiro
horse department says no ono should
take a horse that has been running
loose 011 winter and start him sud-
denly at hard, steady work. That
is entirely against nature's tvay of
going. it is much better to start in
at some comparatively light work.
This will put his whole system in
better shape. When heavy Acid
work, sue% us plowing, begins, rest
tree horses frequently. Raise tiro
collars at every stop to let the air
into tlo shoulders and, while doing
this wipe the sweat from the shoul-
W.ben fitting a harness to n horse,
ray particular attention to the fit
of the collar. A well -fitting collar
will rarely cause sore shoulder and
will usually make a sweat pad use-
less. It. is best to clean a horse in
tae evening, after he has conte in
from work. Currying and rubbing
do touch more good then then if put
off until morning. Any farmer
knows that a horse rolls as soon as
ho is turned out in the evening. He
needs the rubbing clown arid clean-
ing after he conies in from work, not
ten hours afterward,
FEEDING AND WATERING.
Eve:y horse shold be fed a warts
bran smash at least once a week all
through the year, Take four quarts
of bran and a little salt. Pour
scalding water over this and feed
warm.
1V'hen horses come in at noon, on
hot days, they should be given only
a little water. They should then be
put in the stable and fed hay. In
course of ball an hour, say when the
driver has had his dinners—the horses
may be fed their grain. This will
still allow face horse 20 or 30 min-
utes in which to cat his grain, be-
fore
o-fore going to the field.
This plan of feeling prevents the
horse getting too much water. It al-
so keeps him from swallowing his
grain too hastily. Coming in from
the field very tired and hungry he
will gulp down anything that will
fill up. When in such a condition
good bay is tho best thing he can
eat. After being fed in this way be
will ho in good condition for the af-
ternoon's work.
COMPACT, SOLID IiORSES BEST.
There can be no definite plan of
feeding every horst, The amount of
feed must be deckled by the charac-
ter of the individual. A short,
solid, compact horse is usually a
nitreh better keeper than a soft,
rangy, animal. It is the short,
compact horse that does the most
work in proportion to the amount
of food. • At the same time, such an
animal must have a capacious stom-
ach — big enough to digest all the
food needed by a horse at hard
work. For Illinois forme a ration
of throe parts oats, one part corn
or four quarts oats to two or three
ears of corn. Mixed clover and tim-
othy hay is best. Brood mares,
colts, and fattening horses should
be fed on pure clover hay, Tho horse,
of all animals, is rho most easily
hurt by dust and filthy food. Yet too
commonly roe a ho•so:s manger hall
full full of dost and trash. Have the
bottom of the manger made of slats
to let this dirt fall out. I would
prefer to feed hay on the floor rath-
er than in a manger. When given
the proper .• amount of hay in this
manner tho horse will waste but
little. Such an arrangement is near
the natural way of feeding. It al-
so ' costs less to build such horse
Stalls. Tho grain box should bo
placed 2a, or 3 feet above the floor.
A small salt box should be fastened
in each stall, and salt kept in it all
the time When salt is supplied in
this way a horse will eat just what
his system requires.
Remember your horse has a body
constructed very much like the hu-
man body and that .he has a good
deal ofcommon sense. Treat him
accordingly and you will be well re-

SE'i"PING OUT TURES.
Straight lines in an orelin d will
prove a lifelong satisfaction. An
even start, cal ohs] measurements and
the use of cross furrows will secure
good alignment and also save work
fn setting. The furrowing and
cross -furrowing will save mucli of
time shovelling, particularly if the
furrows are deepened with a subsoil
plow. Nalco the holes .large and fill
about the tree with soft rich earth,
but no manure close to the roots.
Bruited roots should be trimmed and
the tree branches rut back. In wet
sea ons, a well -rooted tree will some-
times thrive without cutting back,
but ascii a method is or• the average
not desirable. Late set trees, es-
pecially, need severe cutting back.
Trees in storage can-oftoa be bought
very cheap ns late as the last of
May, aact.if .wall cut back they in
most seasons live and make a small
growth for the year.

that the steamer which carried so

Park Lane began to decline from

thoroughfare has come to be asso-
ciated with the noulvoau . riche as

who has prospered exceedingly in
the "city." It is true that noble-
men. like IIis Grace the Duke of
Westminster still abide in Park
Lane—but they are not nearly so
thick as they used to be, while the
"other sort" aro increasing at such
a rate that Charles T. Yerkes is
said to have refused an offer of a
house there on the ground that the
street contained "too many new-
mtude millionaires."
The exodus of Jack Morgan from
a nelghlilorthood which is losing a
little of its tong—a matter that
could not be expected to make the
slightest difference to a more sober
man of business—to the most elite
stptar•e in London, where he is to
have the Duke of Portland and Sir
Ernest Cassell, Ming I9clwatd's in-
timate friend, as neighbors, looks
significant.
A Married man—with an American
wife, of course—and the proud fath-
er of two boys and two girls. the
heir to the Mogan throne has en-
joyed best spending a good Otero
of his leisure true with his family.
And he has avoided display. No big
dinners have been given by him—his
entertaitting consisting of having a
few intimate friends in occasionally
in quite an informal way, And ho
and Mrs. Morgan have gone out cor-
respondingly little, Jack Morgan is,
however, fond of sport in the open
air. Every morning early, during
the season, he is to be seen riding In
Hyde Pat'lc. He golfs, too, and is
ntucit attaohod to yaohting. He is a
voracious reader—being fondest of
history and the

Like his father, he is a connoisseur
of pictures and already has made
the beginning of a private gallery
which should be notable some day.
There are these who insist that
Jack Morgan works even harbor
than his father does—or did. He is
at his desk in Morgan & Co.'s un-
imposing set of offices in old Broad
street every morning at 9.30 o'clock,
and works with hardly a pause un-
til luncheon, which ho takes at the
City Club, next door. 'then he is
back at his desk again, and not
away from it until ftvo o'clock
Those who do business with him say
that he has his tattler's faculty for
getting through a lot of work in a
comparatively short tune—also the
old mean's brief, torso, but not die -
agreeable way of finding out exactly
what a caller wants, or what he
has to supply. - •
In appearance the younger Morgan
also is like his sire—'being mighty
in frame—six feet two inches in
height with a chest which is, and a
girth which promises to bo, ample.

shrewdness, but the rest of his foa-

ever, if 3, Pierpant Morgan, ea,
could, even if ho wanted to, turn
himself into what is known as a So-

of his own hearty personality and

which the heir to the house of Mor-

have boon too complete not to have
made the social game almost im-
