"Ton are an artist, " said the man on the front scat of tho sleigh, turning about that he might talk more easily with the young man who eat beside the pretty girl on the rear seat "Yon are an artist What do yon think ox the workmanship of this?" Ho had token from an inner pocket a small leather case, which he now passed ' to his companion. When the young man had brought to light the contents, ho held in his hand a medallion, set in a jeweled frame a medallion upon tho convex surface of which was graven tho attractive, features of a handsome worn- . The work was so delicate, the si ttiug so rich, the effect of tho whole so ex quisite that the artist involuntarily ut tered a cry of pleasure. "Why, this is really admirable, La- marl Who is it? Wherodid you gut it?" Tho man on the front seat answered in a voice as cold and unemotional as a voice could well be: "Inasmuch as this is the woman whom I am to marry, I thought a toler ably fair counterfeit of her face would bo interesting to my friends. " The pretty girl, who had been admir ing tho dainty valuable, became, as ho spoke, somewhat pale. "Oh," she said in n constrained, con ventional Avay, "this is Mrs. Forsytho?" "Mrs. Forsythe, " assented the man on tho front seat "She is very pretty," said the girl in the same tone. As she spoke she put the medallion quickly into the hand of the young man who sat beside her and averted her head. "Another ohoico," exclaimed the man on tho front seat in a brisker tone, glancing at a fork in the white road which tho fleet horses were rapidly ap proaching. "Shall wo take the inland rood direct or go by the roundabout sea road? We shall see more lifo by the first way, but we shall have bettor sleighing and plenty of cold wind by the second. Which shall it be?" "Which shall it be, Ellen?" repeated the young man to the pretty girl. "It makes no difference to me. " "Then lot us have tho sea road and the sleighing. We are in no hurry, and a littlo cold won't hurt us. " "Jactaest alea. The sea road it shall be." The sleighing party was now within eight miles of the city, the location of which was marked by a vague glow in the wintry sky. Gradually the laughter had ceased and words had become infre quent. The bells on tho horses jingled merrily as ever, and tho rapid hoof beats on the hard crust came to the car through the biting air in tho same inspiriting pulsations, but for all that it was cold riding after sundown ang iho sea road, with tho bitter breath from tho darken ing ocean full in tho face. Every moment tho fences and hedge rows were becoming more indistinct, and tho dreary whito landscape between the observers and the fading Etreak in the horizon, where the sun had lately been, was rapidly losing all significance or intelligibility as a prospect. Truly Dr. Eustace Lamar had forgotten the flight of time in his enjoyment of the ex hilarating sport, or he had sadly miscal culated the distance. Not that there was anything to bo dreaded in the ordinary coarse of events of a ride in the pale starlight or under the mellow rays of the moon. The road was a good one, and very soon it would be well lighted. And if the threo pleasure seekers were a triflo cold they could console themselves with tho comforting reflection that there was a cheerful fire waiting for them in the agreeable sitting room of the uppermost flat at 20 Ballavoine place. It was not an elaborate affair, this abode of Julian Maxey, the artist, bnt it was a pleasant, interesting and certainly on a cold night like this a very comfortable and desira ble place in which to be. Perhaps it was not owing altogether to the cold that an unwonted silence had fallen upon the occupants of the sleigh. Pretty Ellen Maxey, the artist's sister, who sat beside hor brother on the rear seat, had dealt a deathblow to the con versation when she ceased to take part In it. Bnt she was not asleep, and her face, protected from view by abundant wraps and tho growing obscurity, had gradually settled into an expression at once wistful, pathetio and resigned. Maxey, whose power of observation was not wholly a matter of eyesight, had become annoyed and solicitous, but ho took pains not to betray this fact As for philosophic, middle handsome Dr. Lamar, the prime cause of the whole trouble, he was supremely unconscious of any unhappiuess on tho part of his friends. He sat bolt upright all by himself on the front seat, his hands busy with the reins and his at tention apparently completely absorbed in scanning tho road as far as he could see in front of his swift team. The truth is that Dr. Lamar had blunderingly and unwittingly touohed upon a topio ex ceedingly disagreeablo to his friends be' hind him whon he mentioned his ap proaching marriage with the wealthy Widow Forsythe. If Dr. Lamar had only known how fine and handsome he appeared in his pretty neighbor's eyes, it would have as tonished him a great deal, and he would have been henceforth very much more discreet in his remarks. If pretty Ellen Maxey had imagined how well her keen and penetrating brother had guessed her secret, undoubtedly she would have dis simulated a great deal of glee and mer riment in a despairing endeavor to havo thrown him off the scent, for the heart beats proudly in tho breast of a girl liko her, and this was such secret as Bhe would wish might die with her. They were all young. The doctor was the eldest, and he had barely reached 40. Eo was a brilliant young man who had made something of a name in the medical world by a recent remarkable publication, and whose practice was al ready established on a firm basis. JnlWvs Maxov was 9 A Ha hri naintod Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. not aaaeuanon several hundred very unracoossfoi pic tures. Their merit, however, waa plain ly recognized by his friends, by reason of which accomplishment he was called an artist Re was enabled to keep up this nonluorntive pursuit and to satisfy tho craving in his soul for counterfeiting the beautiful by a comfortable annuity which ho had Inherited from his grand mother. Ellen Maxey was 24. Since the death of her parents she had held the proud though exacting position of her brother's housekeeper, than which there was only one other place in the world she would have been better satisfied to occupy. On went the spirited horses, while the merry bells jingled and the steam spout ed rhythmically in four evanescent streams from their nostrils, and the foot falls beat time on tho hard crust The limitless black shadow settled down slowly over the sea and tho land. There was a growing flush in the east which might herald a coming moon, and a fad ing glow in the west which bctokoned a departed sun, but these were but poor torches for a wayfarer groping in the dark, and the stars overhead, obscured by a pale mist, were puny candles against the obscuration of the deepening gloom. On went the mettled span toward the faint light in the heavens made by the distant city, hold up to their steady gait by a tight rein in tho doctor's guiding hand and encouraged by an occasional stimulating ay. The ocean, stretching out from the base of the cliff into the darkness upon the right, grew more inky from moment to moment, and the fading white landscape upon the left became exceedingly sketchy and incomplete. Still the four spouting clouds of steam and still the merry jingling of bells upon the frosty air. All at onoe there is a break in the rhythm of the hoof beats. From a steady, onward, arrowlike flight the sleigh sud denly moves laterally and almost stops with terrifio abruptness, narrowly es capes overturning, trembles, jerks, snaps in every joint and moves ahead again. "Hi I whoa, there I What the deuce" Dr. Lamar was on his feet, and his strong arms were reining in the fright ened horses. In another minute he was out in the snow, running beside them, clinging to tho bridle. A plunge, a snort, a shiver, a great jingling of the bells, and the sleigh had come to a standstill. "Whoa, Potty! Gently, Tally I" said the dochr, persuasively stroking the noses cf the trembling and greatly frightened animals, while his two com panions, who had jumped into a snow bank, struggled out into the road and be gan to put themselves to rigls. "Now, what the deuce do you suppose made those horses Bhy so?" "There is something back there on the road, I am very positive," said Maxey. "And I I thought I saw somebody jump over the fenco and run across the field," added his sister. , "What you saw on tho road wero the old settees on tho edge of the cliff prob ably, " said Dr. Lamar. "You know the Somerset summer hotel is just back of us here, and in tho warm weather there is a row of seats just above the bath houses by the roadside. I noticed what I took to be the gangway leading down to the beach just before the horses jumped. " "No, no. What I saw was in the mid dle of the road," insisted the artist. "But it's only a minute's work to find out " He turned back Tho doctor ejaculated: "Pshaw, what does it matter? We're wasting time!" "No; I am sure there's something wrong!" exclaimed Miss Maxey. "Wrong!" echoed the physician. "What an idea! You surprise me, Miss Maxey. I didn't know you were so eas ily alarmed." "I was right," called tho voice of Maxey a little tremulously. ' ' See this. ' They dimly saw him standing in the road outlined against the sky, holding up a shapeless something to their view. "What is it?" "A woman's shawl.' Miss Maxey cried out in alarm: "We must go back at once. I know something is wrong. I felt it before we reached it " "Absurd!" exclaimed tba doctor. Bnt Miss Maxey did not wait to hear the comment She had already rejoined her brother. The doctor saw them ap parently kneeling in the snow, as though examining the surface. Then they sepa rated. One went toward the fence which divided the road from tho adjoining field, the other in the direction of the low wall which disjoined it from tho narrow strip of ground between it and the edge of tho cliff. "Dr. Lamar! Dr. Lamar!" There was no mistaking the tenor of this cry or its imperative nature. For the first time the physician felt a vague sensation of dread. He hastily made the horses fast to tho fence and went back up the road. He saw that both figures had como together now on the other side of tho wall near the edge of the bluff. He came np with quick steps. "What's tho matter? What is it?" "Listen!" The waves washed lonesomely on the rocks below. The night wind sighed in its dismal rounds. The breath of the lis teners came quickly and audibly. There were no other sounds. "I hear nothing," said the physician, "but the wash of the sea " "Hist! What's that?'.' A faint cry, rising on tho wind, mys terious, indescribable! "A child!" cried the doctor, "or a dog!" "Whatever it be, it has fallen over the cliff, " said Maxey. His sister shuddered, bnt her voice was very calm. "You forget the foot steps and tho man I saw jump over the fence and run away. The snow is trod den and trampled all about us. There has been a struggle here where we aro standing. I am afraid for what you will find down there. Stay with me, Julian, and let the doctor go down. " The doctor west down, and in a lfttln Children Cry for Pitcher's Cast or!at while he came back again. "There is omething caught on a point of rock between here and the beach," he said hurriedly. "I could, by looking up, just see it between me and the aky something which flutters in the wind. Maxey, you had better take Misa Ellen bock to the sleigh. We need rope and a lantern at once. I will run to the house we just passed. I shall re turn immediately. " No doubt of that, if he maintained the pace at which he set off. Misa Maxey declined to go back to the sleigh. "I am not a coward!" she said. "Something is suffering. Until it can be relieved, my duty is here. Hark, Ju lian! I hear it again." Yea, again and again and again ere the good doctor reappeared It rose and fell like tho pulsations on the beach be low aa the wind carried it, sometimes dying away into silence, sometimes welling np into loudness a strange, for lorn 'sound to be listening to in lonely place after dark. There was something unfamiliar almost unearth ly about it that made its hearers shnd- Sill Softly $hc put back the utraylng hair. der. It might be the voice of agony, but it made an impression like nothing one could name. It did not seem to be a hu man cry. It did not seem like the utter ance of a dumb animal a sound that was neither a moan of pain nor a cry of supplication, but akin to both. Miss Maxey hid her face in her broth er's breast and tried to shut it out "Will the doctor never oome?" A soft ray of light shot ont from the midst of the flush in the east and sent a glimmering pathway down across the sea. They would have light enongh anon. The moon was rising. Then came the sound of voices and footsteps hurry ing up the road, and here were Dr. La mar and two strangers with ropes and lanterns. Miss Maxey Btepped back several paces from the little knot of men who now gathered upon the edge of the bluff. She saw them holding a consultation and making calculations. One of them laid down near the treacherous, ice clad edgo of the bluff flat on his face, and crawled to the very verge, so that he might look over. A lantern on the end of a rope was then let down. After a few minutes it was drawn up. The man arose. Another, the smallest of the group, now submit ted himself to be made securely fast to the end of the lino and was lowered over the edge. Two of the men at the rope stood on the other side of the wall, with their feet braced against it The third stood as near the edge of the cliff as he dared and eased the line over the rocks. He listened for the voice of the man at the end of the rope and repeated his in structions to the men on the other side of the wall. "Lower! Lower! A little more. Steady! Holdfast! Now, pull! Steady! Pull! Onoe more! Now, again! Stop!" Breathless, excited, Miss Maxey start ed forward. The man at the verge was already upon his breast, carefully reach ing down to steady the delicate burden. Again that strange, weird cry, londer and near at hand, a flutter of garments tossed by the wind, a final pnll upon the rope, a gasp and a struggle, and a mo tionless object was laid down in the trampled snow. Everybody was bending over it, Miss Maxey among the first The lanterns were held olose down. Softly she put book the straying hair from the face that she might look upon it, and she saw the features of a young woman not so old as she by several years and dark and beautiful like herself. The face was very pale, and it was slightly scratched and bruised, but there was no blood upon it There was something strained and unnatural in its appearance, but through all the harshness of the ex pression, all the ghastliness and pallor, the delicate charm of a classic outline, the regularity of dainty features, assert ed their presence still. Miss Maxey saw all this with an add ed pang at her sympathetic heart. Some' how the very human thought that these things made the pity of it the greater Obtruded itself even into Miss Maxey'B sensible reflections. She sat gazing into the unconscious countenance alone, for the others hud left her. The attention of all the men were taken in the task of drawing np him who had gone down to the rescue, and who had been left on the point of rock beneath. The long lashes rested on the white cheeks of the motionless form in Miss Maxey's lap, but the girl seemed to be in a stupor rather than a faint. Perhaps Bhe was dying with the cold. Sympathet ic Miss Maxey pressed the unconscious head against the fur lining of her cloak and sought to chafe the hands. She found them enveloped in thick gloves, and then she noticed that the unfortu nate creature was well and warmly clod. Her clothing was of a modest and un pretentious character, bnt at the same time it did not indicate poverty. "What a terrible thing!" exclaimed Miss Maxey in a burst of sympathy. As she spoke the long lashes lifted The dark eyes looked for an instant full into her own, and then there came into the face a vague expression, a some' thing, rather, that had not enough of in talliimncA in it to be colled an expres sion, as if fear had laid the mold of his unsightly features against hers and stamped his image there forever. And from the tremulous lips came forth that strange, low utterance that was neither a moan nor a plea, not a human sound exactly, nor suggestive wholly of a dumb animal in distress. . "Poor child!" It was the voice of Dr. Lamar, who was bending over Miss Max ey's shoulder. "What a misfortune! This is a very serious matter, a very se rious matter indeed! CONTINUED.

Upon trying the dining room door it was found to be locked. After a little searching we found a key to open it. Upon the table were thrown a suit of clothes and a shirt which bad evi dently been brought from one of tbe up stairs rooms. Here the fellow had risked going up stairs, had taken a suit of clothes which was new and worth about 00 and a shirt, then went down to tbe dining room and locked himself in while be examined his plunder. Now comes the most stupid part. He tore the cuff bands oS a 3.50 shirt to get a pair of collar buttons worth almost nothing, evidently not being able to comprehend that he could remove them more easily unfastening tbem. Then be took om the vest pocket a cheap watch, which only kept tbe time yon used in keeping it set, and left tbe suit, which wonld have been of use to him. He thin left through the window.
