hall, where the flguro of another woman

In a harsh volec, but excellent English,
Bllghtly guttural, ho said: "I am going
out. Put your mistress to bed. When
her Cousin Louis cornea In tell him to

Tho front door opened noiselessly, and
a man, whoao step was youthful, wearing
a black beard, entered unannounced. Ho
had nn nttractlve fice, yet :o full of
mallco.
"Zcda," ho called. "Ho Is gone! I saw
lilm pass down tho rear walk."
No answer enmo from tho largo draw
ing room, only groans. Tho newcomer
hurried there, and found a colored maid
kneeling beforo a prono tlguro, bathing
tho woman's bruises with cold water.
Her oyes opened.
"It la hot tho flnt time, Louis! some
cognac, Pauline," Bho whispered, feebly,
ns ho holped placo her upon a lounge.
After sipping tho brandy sho dismissed
the maid.
"Has ho found out? The black port
manteau, I mean, how I passed It out tho
i open window of tho subway train to you
kl on tho platform," asked Louis Murger,
Lanxlaualy; his Instincts wero first for him-
bclf.
i "No," sho answered. Murger breathed
a8y. Sho went on: "I don't think I nm
liuch hurt. A few soro spots. Leeches

don't mind. I rounded on him on gen

"Tho brute," said llurgor, ns ho looked

"Why?"
"Your father snys he must bo put out

of Independence In this country that
gets Into our men. They are becoming

The birds are protecting our trees, nnd

Nevertheless wo should consider them the

Wouldn't It bo fine to have every boy

To make a blrdhouse would be easy.
All that Is necessary Is to secure a store

A Victim of Fear
THURSDAY, nt 2 p. in., a fat man with
bloodshot ojes and tremulous lips wad
dled Into tho oirice of Harrison & Co.,
stock and Investment brokers, In Walnut
Btrect, "Members of the Philadelphia,
New York and Chicago Stock Exchanges."
Lemuel lllrdscyo, resources exhausted,
was sinking for tho last time.
A few words nncnt Harrison & Co. Al
though an old Philadelphia house, and
obviously conservative, It always kept

It was a clean, quick bulneH nt Har

no nonsense. Only waterproofed Informa

was an open ledger, lugged In and left by
an assistant bookkeeper. Tho Indox lino
of tho pago was "U-V," tho Initials In
dicating tho names of tho individuals hav

"Horry, Indeed, Mr. nirdscyc, but Har

broker. "This ledgor account shows a suc

"Look! My associate and I havo had ft
$400,000 net loss on the wholo series of

"Your losses do not concern us,"
snapped tho broker. "To get It back you
must be right on market, and tho past

future. This Is no placo to run. n shoe

sociate, whom wo havo never seen, It

Blrdsoye evidenced no desire to dlscusi

further from comment on tho supposed
South American banker. Taking ft new
tack tho fat man said, "I havo good
American friends, powerful men."
"Then, let them tako caro of you," said
tho broker. "Margin requirements In nn
honest stock exchange house aro based
upon tho fluctuations of tho stocks trad

of posted signs.
"In your own hands you hold tho Book
of Signs," ho continued, "Thoy aro drawn
