spoken went like a sword stab to Sir Gregory's and added to the difficulty of breaking bis long silence. He accepted the hearty wishes of his friends day by day without a protest; but every night resolved that the next day should see the end of the hollow sham, while every morning found bim weakly postponing the ordeal. The marriage of Mrs. Caulfteld. which he had striven so earnestly to promote and had hoped for so heartily, was now as distasteful to him as it had formerly appeared desirable; and in his eager anxiety to escape the shame of avowing the truth, he began to consider whether, after all.

bis confession was necessary. Helen was married, and presumably happy In America with her husband. To restore her her birthright meant the disinheriting of his son and an old age of Infinite trouble and Borrow and shame for Lady Trevellock. The Innocent would be punished, and "I'ntil?" he repeated in the same set. strained tone.

"What did you learn of jour father's life In Montana? Did you ever hear of of a partner of his a Jake Stevens?" "Did you ever hear of my father, then?" she cried in intense astonishment. "Answer me! Answer mo!" he said Impatiently. "Yes.

He betrayed him, I was told, and had him put in Jail on a false charge, so that he might keep for himself the gold which they had found together." With a supreme effort he restrained the exclamation which rose to his lips, his hands locked even more tightly than ever. "And what proofs have you that you are that man's child?" he asked, after a pause. had mv mother's marriage certifi 6 SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS CHAPTERS. t'r Ori-rory velork. who had com Intu In (a title and Inheritance unexpectedly, and whose property, under entail, imtst to his daUKhtr.

"Also part of the ssme scheme, so that you might appear to have run away from the charge. It is an infamous And who is behind It? Do you know?" "1 I am afraid so," replied Helen reluctantly.

"Well, whoever It is. he has found out that you are here in Manchester, and has begun the same game. I have been considering whether I ought to tell you," and he described about what had occurred. "I met the detective, Mr. Simpson, In the streets this afternoon; and It was that which worried me." "I wish I could see him," exclaimed Mr.

Stevenson angrily. "The thing's as plain to see as blight on a cotton plant. Whoever's behind this Is going to do what was done in London. I'll run up to town and interview that Garwood." "I think I had better tell you everything," said Helen. "It is really the story of my life; and you will see then what I fear Is the answer to the puzile, and also why I am bound to silence.

My name is really Helen Powell. Paxton was my mother's name. I was born In a mining camp out in Montana, close to Helena that's how I got my name and my father, Gregory Powell "Good God!" exclaimed Mr. Stevenson, suddenly sitting bolt upright in bis chair and seizing the arms in excited surprise. Then recovering himself quickly he cried, "What was that?" and.

Jumping up he went Into the other office. Helen looked after bim In astonishment. "It's all right. I thought I heard something out there," he said when he returned a minute later, looking pale and disturbed. "Exouse my bolting out like that.

I might have been another of those people. Well?" and be went back to his chair and sat down, not looking at Helen but staring down at the table with his hands elapsed tightly and set. stern look on his face. "My father deserted my mother soon after I was and she left Montana and went away to her own people in Massachusetts and took their name." She then told of her mother's death, and her own bringing up by her aunt, and how on the latter's death she had come to England. "And your father?" he asked at length, In a tone so Btrangely unlike his usual voice that Helen glanced at him In surprise.

"And your father?" he repeated. "I never saw him or heard of him again until Bhe paused. I no one would gain except the man who had married Helen an American millionaire who would not care for the Chase, and to whom it would be no more than a superfluous adjunct to his already enormous wealth. Ought he to beggar his wife and son in order to add to the riches of a man already overburdened with wealth? It was right and legal, of course; but was it necessary? If Helen bad been in need, it would have been a different thing. But now Bhe would never miss the inherritance of which she had never known.

There was another consideration, too. She had appeared to care for Bulmer, and having so much of her own she would probably prefer to let him keep the Chase. There was but one barrier to continued silence Jasper Bostock. But even he did not know that Helen was the child of that first marriage. Sir Gregory had questioned him now and again sufficiently to see that.

All he knew was the other secret that old affair with Jake Stevens; and he had been contented hitherto with the money paid him to hold his tongue. He could probably be kept silent by the same means. If Bostock had known of Helen's identity, it would have been different; or if he had known where to find ber, and so possibly pierce her secret. But the price paid for the smaller secret had been liberal; and Bostock was not the man to talk when silence paid him so well. With such considerations as these, although tortured intermittently with the pricking of his unquiet conscience.

Sir Gregory put off the ordeal and tried to lustify to himself the course which he but I had been cruelly persecuted before going to Mr. Garwood, and all who had omployed me were set against and she described the interview with Mrs. Chancellor and the latter's reference to the visit of a woman of ill repute. "I can only conclude that in all the other cases similar means were adopted," she added. "But whatever the means were they succeeded, and I was In gTeat distress." "How did this Garwood hear of you?" "From one of the firms who had employed me as typist.

He wrote and offered me a situation." "And that did not strike you as curious?" "Not at the time. I was getting very anxious to find work and Jumped at the offer. My money was nearly gone." "You were meant to Jump at It. of course. This Garwood "He was no party to anything, Mr.

Stevensen," she Interrupted, quickly. "I am sure of that. After the rings had been found in my rooms, I had a-talk with him and he declared his belief in my Innocence, and Bald that nothing more should oome of it. I was to see him the next day and tell him everything about myself in order that together we might try and find out the truth." "And when you saw him, what passed?" "I did not stay to see him. I left London the next day.

I had already, I should have welcomed a chance of helping you. That is all." "I know that. I know what a true friend you are. If It had been only my own matter I should have told you everything, but there is a secret which concerns someone else and I hoped that I should have been left In peace. I'm afraid now, however, that what occurred In London Is to be tried again here.

It seems only to turn to you when I may need help." "I think you had better tell me. You may think It selfish, If you wish, but I shall not, and whatever you say shall never pass my lips."

A third mutilated statue of Baal-Jupiter ha3 been found near tho high altar, from which It must have been knocked down when the place was raided in 377. Gracchus' men, however, failed to find two hiding plates. One of these secret repositories contained the sacred emblems deposited on the same occasion, a symbolic figure of Mithras Leonto Kephalos (with the head of a lion), wound in the coils of a snake.

When the hole was sealed food had been placed in it to keep, mystically, the snako alive. Five ordinary eggs werer found almost intact." The scene of the finds was the Janiculan Hill. THE STAGEo A beefsteak party Is to bo given by the dramatic corps and the attaches of the Crescent Theater at Edgett's this evening after the performance of "In Missouri" Is over. It will be a family party, that is expected to cement the friendship already existing between the management and the professionals. Irwin's Majesties, numbering sixty persons, will be at the Star Theater next week.

It is one of the most pretentious burlesque companies on the road. The "Three Twins," owing to its great success, will remain for a second week, beginning next Monday; at tho Grand Opera House. Ono of the most popular Biiiigs of recent years is "Yama, Yama," given by Bessie McCoy. Much of Its success is due to the grotesque daneo by Miss McCoy and ber eight little "Yamers." If one should figure out the distance that they run while giving the song, the result would be surprising, as, at each performance they travel over seven-eighths of a mile. Anna Marble, who wrote "In Old Edam" for Sam Chip and Mary Marble, will put on her new "human nature sketch," entitled "Maggie Riley," nt tha Cnnnnlni Thenfer nevf week.

He sat long while buried in thought, and drew a deep sjgn before breaking the silence. "Your story has affected me more than I can say. and for reasons I will not now explain.

But I can help you. You have Indeed done right to tell me everything. You will be persecuted no more. Trust me for that. But I must think things out.

It is infamous infamous!" And more than that he would not say then, but Helen could see how profoundly he was moved. CHAPTER XXII. A Letter From Manchester. Vpon no one at the Chase had Lotta's death so great an effect indirectly a upon Sir Gregory himself. While everyone was rejoicing that Bulmer was now the heir to tha Chase, his father alone knew how empty the congratulations were, and how dire the results would be if he but dared to tell the truth.

There were many callers at the big house in those days, and every one who saw Sir Gregory left no doubt as to their satisfaction. The condolences upon the death of the daughter were few and formal compared with; the sincerity of the congratulations on the score of Bulmer's future. And every word of the kind that was Reading for the Blind Discussed. The Committee on Elementary Schools of the Board of Education gave a hearing, last night, to tho champions of the two systems of type reading for the blind which are candidates for adoption by the Department of Education. Whichever system is approved by the board will be placed in the city schools for the blind.

One of the systems is known as the New York point. The other is the Braille system. Tho New York Association for the Blind is the backer of the Braille, and the association's secretary. Miss Winifred Holt, made an excellent address in behalf of the Braille system. She read a letter written by Helen Kellar, who had intended to be present herself to plead the cause of Braille.

Miss Keller said that she could read all systems, but she pleaded for those who were not so fortunate as herself. She said that she had found the New York point system unsatisfactory, and she gave her reasons why she approved the Braille. Miss Holt told of the places in which Braille was used and why. The champions of the two systems were very much in earnest. It Beems likely that Braille will be the system approved by the board.

Conference on Vocational Training A public Conference of the Ethical-Social League will be held at the Hotel Astor, Broadway and Forty-fourth street, Manhattan, Tuesday afternoon, March, 30, at 3 o'clock. The subject of the conference will be "Vocational Training in the Public Schools." Dr. William H. Maxwell, city superintendent, will preside. The folowing will be the speakers: Gustavo Straubenmuller, associate city superintendent; Dr.

C. Ward Crampton, director of physical training of the public schools; Owen R. Lovejoy, secretary New York Child Labor Committee; Professor Charles Richards, director Cooper Union, and others. "The subject of the adequate equipment for life of our public school pupils is one which Is to the fore," says the announcement. "The proper readjustment of our school methods is ono of vital importance and Is receiving especial attention in our city at this time.

"The speakers are men who have given long and special attention to the problem, and the conference will certainly be of great value to those who come. A resolution, summing up the conclusions of the conference and calling for concrete action will be presented at the close of the discussion." Doings at Poly Prep At the Monday morning assembly of Poly Prep an informal discussion was held on the resolution that athletics, as conducted in our larger universities and colleges, is beneficial to the student body. J. Edgar Voorhees and F. B.

Shepard defended the affirmative and G. K. Scrlbner and T. C. Thayer, the negative.

There was no decision. It is part of the programme at the Monday gatherings to have debates and oratory. Professor Z. W. Coombs, twenty years ago a teacher at the Poly, now professor at the Worcester Tech, in the modern languages, was a welcome visitor on Monday.

W. J. Elmendorf. Poly '81, now superintendent of schools in Spokane, was also a visitor. It has been decided to set apart one room in the building to be known as Alumni Room.

It will be a sort of "ball of fame," as the pictures of graduates who have made their mark will be hung on Its wails and it will be alway? open to the alumni. Already the portrait of Dr. Henry W. van Dyke, who is now In France delivering lectures and who has won an enviable place in the field of letters, looks down on the boys. There are also the pictures of Paul Dougherty, '92; Seth Low, '65, and Charles R.

Flint, '67. Monday two cups which were won at the meet of the Long Island Interscho-lastlc League were received. The first and second basketball teams were ths winners. Charles H. Dessart presented the cup for the first team and Francis Crafts, for the second.

Mr. Duerr took occasion to outline to the school how such trophlca arn won. saying that they come to those who practice to a rational extent self-denial, who go through the grind of training and to those who have grit and penevernnce.

About half the fires that occur in tenements and private houses can be traced directly to careless mislaying of cigarettes.

A reader In Flushing writes to ask the names of the ten animals that Mohammed decreed as entitled to admission to Paradise. This Is an easy question for anybody who possesses the usual eucyclo-' pedias to answer. Doubtless one of Dr. Brewer's volumes contains the list.

But as the writer of this column does not own an encyclopedia of any brand, he had to sit down and think of an original sourcs He sought tho tale of the "Seven Sleepers of Ephesus," in Weber's "Tales of the East." It was found in volume 2. The name of tho dog of tho peasant, with the threo broken legs, Cntnier. was ascertained, and knowing that this immortal canine had a card of admission to the Mohammedan heaven, I soon chased up tha other animnls. The list Is found among the "Oriental Tales" of Weber, volume 2. page 613, and reads as follows: "The whale that swallowed Jonah; the ant of Solomon; the ram of Ismael; the cuckoo of Belkis; the camel Of the Prophet of God (Mohammed); the ass of Aazis.

Queen of Sheha; the calf of Abraham; the camel of the Prophet Salob; the ox of Moses, and the dog of the shepherd who accompanied the six Groeka to the cave near Ephesus, the never-to-be-forgotten Catnier." It may bo added that Belkis was tho Queen of Saba, or Sheha, who visited King Solomon and thereby founded tho Ethiopian race, but my Inquirer probably knows that fact.

Curiously, in looking through a copy of "Tales of the East" which I bought in Edinburgh thirty years aio, I And a sheet pasted in from Sir Walter Scott's Journal, dated March 10. 1826. reading as follows: "Strange enough that Henry Weber, who acted ns my amanuensis for many years, had also a melancholy fate ultimately. He was a man of very superior attainments, an excellent linguist and geographer, and a remarkable antiquary. Ho published a collection of ancient romances, superior, I think, to the elaborate Kitsou.

He was an excellent and affectionate creature. He diel in ISIS." NE is not inclined to discredit the story of the Finnish nurse girl who was lost in Central Park two evenings ago and re mained with her two charges all night, rather than appeal to a strnngo muu to direct her to ono of the gates. Landscape gardening has been carried to such an ecstasy in that pork that some of us who have passed the better part of our lives in the metropolis frequently got i lost for a few minutes amid the mazes of Its winding paths.

Personally, I have thought I know the way about Central Park since the fall of 1H4; and yet, no', a week ago my memory misled mo into taking the most circuitous of tho most direct, route across that pleasure garden to the East of Manhattan. For one, therefore', I can most heartily sympathize with the young woman, who, Btrange to the park and to its people, feared to accost anybody for information. As usual, all the policemen were watching "spooning" lovers, and had no time to give to anything else. The police who were after "graft," extorted from men who had other men's wives out for a little walk, no doubt were more profitably employed if their services be rated in dollars for themselves. Commissioner Bingham makes a virtue of the fact that he could have earned S15.000 a month as "graft" merely by non-observanee! That was as tactless an admission as any man in public oiiiee ever made.

Tho admitted fact that other men in similar commisslonershlps grew unaccountably rich In a few years does not prove that he would have had the same chance. That he was approached by offers of money, in large sums, is quite credible. The same experience comes to many young men on newspapers, as reporters, correspondents and executive editors; but never in my long experience did I know the humblest or poorest paid among them to yield to the temptation. There Isn't any temptation in a bribe to a man of even indifferent honesty. The creature who offers to corrupt a fellow mortnl always wants ten times as much as he pays for.

He will claim to own forever the man or woman he has bought once! If legislators at Albany and In our municipal legislatures would recognize this fact they would save their self-respect and their personal honor. This last statement of Commissioner Bingham must be followed by one or two statements: He must explain why he did not kick the man who Insulted him out the door of the commissioner's room et headquarters, or, being unable to do so, after trial, why he did not call out the reserves and have the scoundrel put under arrest? Or. he must give the name of the man, so that any reputable citizen can cause his arrest and have an attempted briber punished. Here is a dilemma with two horns. Either one is equally impaling! Upon which one will Commissioner Bingham, swearing, not by all the gods of war, but by the reverence that he has for the one and true God to the facts, chooBe to hang himself?

H. S. The German Club of the Boys High School was organized during last term. At first the chief difficulty was to arrange an attractive programme. The enthusl-actic reception of the lectures delivered in German hy Messrs.

Grube and Gred-ltier proved thoir value, as they gave practke in understanding colloquial German. At the first meeting this term Mr. Crandal. one of tho teachers of German, gave a lecture (also In German) on his travels in Europe, which was greatly enjoyed. At the next meeting, Mr.

Gred-lizer will leciuro on his tiavols In Central America. Messrs. Bates, Cranial, Gredltzer, Grube and Thomas, all teachers, have volunteered to till up the lecture part of the programme, and that means a feast each week for the club. Besides tho lecture there will be some game, In which the whole society will take part. The game which was tried Inst week consisted of questions and answers.

If an error be made In either it counts against the person. The side having the fewest number of demerits Is tho victor. At the last meeting the game was such a success that In all probability permanent Bides will be chosen for tho term.
