I, CHAPTER 3QV.
.An, Unexpected Meeting.
SHE had never seen the handwriting
before, her heart ?old her who
it was from. BlUsh-tng rosily, she
carrled'lt to the -window und
broke the Heal. Lord Bimmorc's eyes
followed her uneaslty. The letter was a
short one, but her eyes shorue, and the
color still lingered in her etieaks, as she
read, it was but a slnglevpage, and
ran:
Dear Miss Chlslelgh:
Something has occurred whVch calls
me away for a time on business, 1 am
sorry to go without seeing; you, but the
matter is an important one aril I can
not delay. I will see you agaSn before
long-, I hope, in the meantime believe
me that I will be thinking ot yoai and of
our mission. I learn through KlTen. with
whom I am leaving this note, Chat you
have a visitor. Ask him if he car. tell
J on anything about the man James
Hosktns. He may bo able to 'furnish
you with, some valuable information. I
have a clue upon which I am working.
and hope to be able to bring you good
1 news soon.
With best sympathies and respects to
Mrs. Chlslelgh, and with humble re-
garas to yourseir, I remain.
Yours dcvotedI .
C. A. BARKER.
When she looked up from the letter It
wan to nnd Lord Baramore'a eyes fast
ened upon ner race.
"It is from a friend who has benn verv
kind to us in our trouble," she ex-
plained, returning to the table and tak-
ing her place with a hy smile. "He Is
helping us In our efforts to unravel the
mystery that Is so worrying us here.
"A mystery? That scarcely sounds
American." commented Lord Bara
moie. "What mystery do you mean,
child?"
"Oh! I had forgotten that you didn't
know. It has occupied' so largo a place
In our own lives and thoutrhtn for thn
last few weeks that it seemed to me
hat the mind of all the world must be
full ot It."
Then, while the trio lingered over
their breakfast, the mother and daugh
ter together told the tale. Lord Bara
more ItsteneQ attentively.
"H-m, very peculiar and mystifying."
ho exclaimed, when all the circum
stances had been rehearsed to lilni.
"You say that no trace has even been
discovered of the strange woman?"
"None whatever."
"But if she was murdered done away
with by this queer couple the author
ities should take It in hand "
''No murder can be proved without
the corpus delicti. Lord Baramore," In
terrupted Mrs. Chlslelgh, "and the body
of this woman cannot be found."
"Thlp man and woman has no trace
basn found of them or the child?"
"Not a trace." repled Annabel.
"But It they were English, as ou
supposed, would it not be the most nat
ural thing for them to go back to their
native country and escape across the
water?"
"It would seem so." leplled Mrs. Chis
lelgh, "and, of course, we have thought
of that. But a watch had been set on
nil outgoing trains and steamers, and
no sign or them has been seen. Of
ourse, the man and woman might have
disguised themselves and so escaped,
hut thai police have been furnished with i
a very perfect description of them, and
albo of the child, and It would be hard
to disguise that child so that she would
escape unnoticed."
"Why, is she so noticeable a child?"
"Yes. She is a very beautiful child, or
w ould be were she not so wretched, so
starved and beaten, and something In
her manner, her way of carrying her
self, would draw attention tq, her any
where." When the- whole story had been ex
plained to him he sat many minutes in
silence, staring into the fire.
"It is evident," ho said ut last, "that
there is some dark mystery here. It
should be sifted to the bottom. That
these people were countrymen of mint,
and that dear Madam Palgn suffered
such a calamity at their hands, gives
me a great interest in it. Ton are right.
...i. .- b.x.u.k ...v. ..- ... ... .. .. ..n....,
my dear." he said, turning to Annabe ,
mis ennu must oe louno, ana me peo
ple who have so abused her brought to
Justice.
"They tell me," he went on a moment
Inter, "that anything may oe accon--'
jUlshed with money. If that Is true, we
, will succeed In finding them, for I haa
little Ube tor my fortune now, and know
of no us to which It could better be
put than in ferreting out these criminals
and restoring the child to those who
love hPr. It Is what my own child
would havp liked one to do."
'Oh! good, good!" exclaimed Annabel.
"1 am so glad. Somehow I feel that we
must win if you will help us."
"And now," he went on, If you havo
finished your breakfast, my dear young
lady, what do you say to taking me to
see this strange mysterious House of
the Purple Windows?"
"Nothing could please me belter,"
cried Annabel.
It was not until they wero well upon
their way that the suggestion contained
In Barber's note recurred to the girl.
"Lord Baramore." she asked sudden
ly, brenklng In on his comments on tha
beauty of the scenery, ' din ou ever
know a man in England by the name
of James HoBklns?"
Had a thunderbolt descended on their
heads, Lord Baramore could scarcely
have shown, more astonishment.
'"Iloskins?'1 hp cried, with a great
start. "Why? What do you know about
.lames Hosklns? Why do yau ask me
that?"
"Because," sho replied, staring at him,
her big grnv eyes wide with astonish
ment at the effect her question had pro
duced upon him. "because I a man I
met recently told me that he saw the.
fellow we know as Paul Jennings, and
savs that Is not his. name. Ho says the
light namo is James Hoskins and that
he was a groom in a family he knew In
England."
Lord Baramore looked at her quickly.
He had recovered his self-possession.
'Who Is this man you speak of your
frland?" he asked, sharply.
"His name Is Barber Al Barber."
"Is he an Englishman himself?"
"I don't know."
"Where did he see this man who calls
himself Paul Jennings? I thought he
had disappeared."
"He naa ne nas aisappearea no one
knows where he is where he came from
that night. Mr. Barber was In tho wood
watching the house It was after those
strange circumstances we told you
about and this man came sneaking
through the wood. He was going to the
houie. Mr. Barber saw htm."
"How lonr ago was this?"
"Just before you came."
"Did he knov this man pertonally?
V i viT'ti
1
Was he sure that It was the same man
who calls himself Paul Jennings?"
to me, and I am sure It was the man
we knew as Jennings."
"wno is this man Barber?"
"He is a very fine young man. He is
working on n farm near Mason."
"Where is he now' When can I see
him?"
"I don't know. He ws here yester
day, but was called away on business
last night.
Lord Batamore looked down, jabbing
hln walking stick Into the ground.
"Tell me," he said, suddenly, "what
does this man who calls himself Paul
Jennings look like?"
Annabel described him accurately.
"And the woman who is with him?'"
Again the girl described accurately
and vividly.
When she stopped Loid Baramore
stood motlonelss. He looked up sud
denly. "Did she this woman did you ever
notice whether she had a smalt mark on
her left wrist?"
The girl looked at him In surprise.
"Yes," she ansyercd, quickly, "she did,
I noticed it many times, although it was
usually concealed by s bracelet. But
did you ever see her?"
"I have een her manv times." Ixrd
Baramore answered, slowly. "If this Is
the women I mean, she Is a fiend.
Heaven pity the child that should fall
into her hands!"
"Then It must be the same woman, for
this woman is a demon. How strange
that you should know her!"
"I do not care to go on to the old
house this morning," Lord Baramore
lold her. "Let us go back. I want to
think this thing out.,"
He was very silent during luncheon,
and at the close of the meal asked Mrs.
Chlslelgh If he might see her alone in
the parlor.
When thev were seated side by side at
the open window he turned to her with
a heavy, troubled air.
"Mrs. Chlslelgh," he said, earnestly,
"I have a communication to make to
you that I wish I might avoid, but cir
cumstances requite that It be made. I
have heard something today that brings
up one of the bad deeds of my early
life. I fear that an acquaintance of my
young manhood Is mixed up in this
mystery thot enshrouds you here."
"An acquaintance of your youth. Lord
Baramore?" Mrs. Chlslelgh exclaimed.
"How strange!"
f'Yes," replied the baronet, with much
embarrassment. "In order to make you
understand this matter fully, 1 will be
oblldged to relate to you a chapter of
my personal history, and I assure you.
madam, that it is not a credltablo one."
"Never mind that. Lord Baramore,"
replied Mrs. Chlslelgh. "Any chapter
that will help to unfold this dreadful
mystery will be very welcome to us
now."
"When I was a few months shoit of
twenty-one," Lord Baramore began. "I
went with mv tutor to .spend my vaca
tion at my father's place In Devonshire.
The housekeeper had a young daughter,
then barely seventeen, and very pretty.
l was young and heady and roll In
love with the girl, and she appeared to
return mv affection. I promised to
marry her as soon as 1 had attained my
twentv-flrst birthday. Mv tutor, who
all this time had been made frightfully
uneasy by my conduct, no sooner learn
ed of the Ktate, ot affairs than he sunt
post-haste for my father.
"He artlved. I remember, shortly be
fore dinner, and immediately summoned
first myself, then the housekeeper, and
her daughter, before him, He was
stern and, at times, a violent man. and
the scene that followed burned Itself in
delibly Into my memory.
"In spite of all mv father's iage and
threats I was ready to fulfill my promise
and stand by the girl. But for the first
time she showed herself before mo in
her true colors. Seeing that the game
she had Dlayetl so shrewdly was up, alio
cast aside even that semblance of re
finement with which she had blinded
me and was, for the first time In my
presence, her true self.

MRS. LARZ ANDERSON
GIVES OUT DENIAL
Not to Devote Her Time to Psycho-
logical Experiments on
Young Girls.
BOSTON. Juno 10. -Mrs. Lurz Ander
son, wife of the American minister to
BclKiufi, and noed in America Ht the
time of her wedding as the Ii.OtM.O'X)
crlile, indignantly denies that she is
acout to take poor working girls and
thrust them Into surroundings of luxur .
nnd then whisk them out again to see
nil,, ljl MlLfU-l WUMIU Uf.
un,. Andorson was at a loss to ajve
on explanation of how such a story
originated.
"I often invlt3 the children of the
poor dlatrlcts of Boston to spend a dav
ut my estate at Brookllne," she saM.
"Tho beys and ghls play panics, are
given rides lu the pony carts, and
served with a luncheon, and Just before
they leave each is presented with a
bouquet from the gardens, t try to ba
kind to employes, and every Christmas
have a tree, mingle with employes, and,
with a number of my friends, entertain
and present each with a present."
Since being in Brussels, Mrs. Ander
son has formed a club of American
girls who are living there, and It Is
probable, Mrs. Anderson thinks, that
this might have led to the story being
circulated that she was to devote her
time practicing psychological experi
ments on young girls at her princely
castle at Brookllne.

INTERSTATE BOARD
L
OF
Handling and Icing of Pri
vate Properties to Be Prob
ed by Commission.
A general inquiry Into the allow
ances paid private car companies by
railroads for the use of cars, the rules
covering the handling and Icing of
these cars, and the minimum weights
in force, will be Instituted by the
Interstate Commerce Commlsion, ac
cording to announcement made this
morning.
Several complaints charging dis
crimination have been filed with the
commission, but the evils complained
of arc supposed to be of such gen
eral nature that an Investigation, In
which all carriers are parties, was
deemed necessary.
In consequence of the changes in
the division of lumber rates in the
South, following the decision in the
tap line cases, complaints have also
reached the commission which led to
the announcement that a general In
quiry into yellow pine, hardwood, and
other lumber rates from the South
will be Instituted.
In tho tap line cases the lesser lines
were deprived In a number of in
stances of a' part of the revenue ac
cruing from the shipment of lumber.
The rates have not been changed and
the trunk lines arc, in consequence,
receiving all the revenue. The rates
produce an excesive revenue for the
service performed. It Is charged in In
formal complaints, and the whole
subject will be Investigated.

AR down In the southern part of
this Country there lived many,
many years ago, a tribe of In
dians that hunted the plains for
game and found big silver mines In the
rocky hills. But as tho metal was hard
to work, the Indians having few tools,
the pretty silver ornaments wero highly
prised by every one and carefully guard
ed as priceless treasure.
There .was one child who had many
things made of the shining silver, and
that was little Deer, whose father was
a chief ot the tribe. But Deer was a
child who had never been strong, and,

being left to the father by the death ot
the mother, she had grown up almost
alone in the tent. Blir Bear loved his
little daughter very devotedly, dressed
her in gay skins, nnd did everything to
make her happy.
One day when he was going out on a
long hunt he left plenty of food In the
tent, but warned the child to be careful
not to allow strangers to enter. For In
tho forest there lived a witch who
dressed In a big gray feather cloak
and prowled about In the night steal
ing from the tents. She would mako a
moaning noise like winds In the trees,
and this fooled the people so that they
did not know she was mound. So little
Deer promised to be very careful and
keep the ffap of the tent closed.
The day was bright and llttlo Deer
sat making tiny shirts for her wooden
doll. Presently a face looked In, and
Deer said: "1 can receive no strangers
while my father is away." But a

woman wearing a gray feather cloak
came in and sat down on a pile ot
blankets In a corner.
, "l will not hurt you, Deer," she said.
In a sweet voice. "I have only come to
brlns you these nrctty shells," and ho
poured a quantity of pink shells into
the child's hand. Deer ran out in her
joy to show her things to her play
mates, and when she csrtno back the ..
old woman.was gone.
Now it happened that Big Bear had
given his daughter on her seventh
birthday seven silver beads whose metal
came from a magic mine in a far part
of tho country. But Just what the pow
er of these silver beads was no one
knew. Deer found one of them rolling
on the floor of the tent, and when she
looked for the others they were gone
the woman had btolen thorn. So weep
ing she told her father on his return
Then they know It was the old witch of
the wind who had played this trick to
get the magic beads herself.
But Big Beat- determined he would
catch her. Now, as you know, silver is
the only thlnpr which can wound a
witch, and the father knew this, too.
So he beat the silver bead between
two stones till It was thin as paper,
then wrapped it about the head ot his
strongest arrow. He told Deer he
knew the old witch would come
around that night looking for the last
bend
"I will hide behind the oak," he
said, "and If she comes here stealing
I will wound her with this magic sli
ver arrow. Then we will see what Its
powers are."
So he hid behind the oak near the
tent. Presently he heard a moaninc
sound of 'whoo, Whoo," as if of the
wind groaning amongst the mountain
pines, but ho felt no wind and not a
leaf was stirring. So he knew the
witch was coming. But he waited till
she was rlisht at the door of the tent,
then let the arrow fly.
It spread straight and stuck in he
back. Slowly shf sank upon the ground,
but In a moment began to rise again
She was turning Into a huge bird.
The gray feather coat was stuck tight
to her skin, her feet were sharp claw,
and from her round face two big, round
yes gleamed. Flapping her wings she
flew away toward th moon hooting
like thp wind.
And ever since then owls have lived
In the dark, hooting at the moon, flap
ping about In the night like a witch.
