CHAPTER XIII. Contimuid.
Ha took up Sirs. Dunkirk's letter,
which had lain all this time unnoticed
on the table at his elbow, and, unfold
ing; the thin blue paper, he glanced at
it speculatively.
"That was ray only claim, yet she
seemed to consider it sufficient. This
may be merely my own mistaken inter
pretation of her words, however. What
opinion have you formed, Mr. North, as
to the value of this letter as evidence in
our case?"
Nortn preserved a meditative silence
for a few moments; then he answered,
lowly:
"I must say, Mrs. Maynard, that in
my opinion this letter clearly proves
that Mrs. Dunkirk, although not yet

ready to declare the fact, had deter
mined to make yom her heir, on the one
condition that her niece were never dis
covered. Hear her own words: 'Whilo
I live I must retain the control of my
property; after I am gone, what matter
to me who' has It?' She would
as lief it should bo you as anyone
else, you see; yes, she would prefer you,
M the lines further on Indicate: 'There
is no one that has a greater claim upon
me than yourself. This claim I feel at
- present' the emphasis is my own, but
. mark the words, if you please; do they
not clearly indieato the writer's char
acter? 'at present Inclined to recog
nize.' Delightfully neutral, charming
ly non-committal; giving you to under
stand, you see, that, after all, she might
change her mind. It gave her a sense
of power to keep you in suspense as to
her real intentions; at the same time
her purpose remained unchanged, I
have no doubt 'Charitablo bequests I
do not favor.' Why? 'I have given
freely to public and private oharities
during my lifetime, and have received
bat meager thanks.' Sho was weary of
the ingratitude of the public. Sho
reasoned, ancMndeed she reasoned well,
. that if they gave 'but meager thanks'
while the beneficent donor was living,
and there was a possibility of still
further gifts when she was gone, and
there would be nothing to look for be
yond the testamentary bequests, she
- would receive no thanks at all. No,
so! She wished her fortune to go to
, soma one who would be grateful for it;
soma one who could properly value it;
oma one who had a reasonable claim
. upon her generosity; and that person,
of all others in the world, was clearly
and indisputably yourself, Mrs. May-
Hard."
North had folded Mrs. Dunkirk's let
ter, replaced it In the envelope, and
tosaed it down on the table again while
hay was speaking these lost words, lie
now rose and stood idly gathering np
his notebook, pencil and papers, as if
preparing to leave.
While he was thus engaged the foot
man entered, bearing to Mrs. Maynard
a small scrap of paper, widen he pre
sented with an air of dignified disdain.
The lady glanced at the paper for an
Instant with a rather blank expression;
then with a sudden gleam of compre
' honslou she held it out toward North.
"This has as muoh interest for you,
perhaps, as for myself, Mr. North," she
said. :
"The Inquiry was for Mrs. Maynard, "
ventured William. , ""
"Very well, WlUiartu," saul Mrs.
Maynard, dismissing him. ,
By this time North had with a little
curiosity scanned the paper that she
had given him, and his expression was
even more blankly amazed than hers
had been. It was only a name that was
sorawlcd on the bit of paper that his
fingers held; but that name wAs Dennis
O'lleilly.
"Dennis O'Reilly? What does this
mean?" he asked himself in puzzled
speculation. '.'In this a mere coinci
de uce, or am I on the verge of an im
portant discovery?"
Mrs. Maynard interrupted bis medi
tatlonSy "It is the man who claimed to have a
knowledge of Annie Dtipont's history,
is it not, Mr. North? The name cer
tainly seems familiar to me, as if I had
heard it recently." '
"Why, yes," answered North, too
much bewildered by this unexpected
turn of events to consider his words
very carefully, "he is certainly the man;
mat xamk was dekkib o'bkuxy.
but why does he come here? And why
should he inquire for you?"'
"These are questions that I might
more naturally ask of you," said Mrs.
Maynard, a little coldly, as she regarded
North with a glance of surprise. "Is
he not acting upon your instructions?
I understood you to say, a few days
ago, that you bad seen this man and
had taken measures to gain possession
of his pretended evidence. Have you
decided 'to abandon that investigation,
in view of onr recent disaster in New
York?"
There was almost the suggestion oi a
refined sneer in these last words. Had
North been attending to them he would
have detected the subtle sarcasm and
alio the desperate pain that forced it
from her; but his mind was at that mo
ment otherwise absorbed. Mrs. May-
nard's words had lot in a flood of light
upon the mystery that had been per
plexing him. Dennis O'Reilly's ap
pearance there was fully accounted for.
"Another singular throw of the dice,"
he said to himself, with grim satisfac
tion, "and, as usual, it is in my favor.
I hod actually almost forgotten this
man who was the real cause of my com
ing to X , and I had no very son
gulno expectations of being able to find
him, my efforts in that direction thus
far having totally failed; and behold,
he turns up without an IrHerventlon or
purpose of mine, all ready to play Noll's
game right into my hands! Well,
have some claim upon him anyway, in
view of his overtures to Hunter and
Ketchum; and if he is trying to play a
double game, I shall bring him sharply
to book!"
With this reflection, North turned to
take leave of Mrs. Moraard.
"There must have been some misun
derstanding about this matter, Mrs.
Maynard," he said, suavely. "I cer
tainly do not wish you to be annoyed
by this person, since I can conduct the
investigation without your direct as
sistance. I will see the man at once,
and ascertain whether or not he really
possesses information that will be val
uable to us. I will devote as much time
as possible to this investigation and
will call from time to time to report
progress; shall I?
The permission was coldly granted,
and North with a bow of farewell with
drew from the drawing room, curious
about his coming interview with Dennis
P'Rcilly.
CHAPTER XIV.
King An hour of quiet shortly shall we see:
Till then, In patlcnee our proceeding be.
Hamlet
lie found the man waiting in the
hall. He was apparently about forty
years of age, short, stout and red-faced
with bristling red hair and whiskers,
twinkling blue eyes, and an expression
of shrewd native humor. His clothing,
though of cheap quality, was neat and
whole, and he had the general appear
ance of a thrifty worklngman. Not at
all the "seedy" adventurer that North
had half expected to see.
He looked up with a slight degree of
astonishment, but an unmistakable rec
ognition in his round wide-open eyes, as
North approached him; then, bowing
low with his hat in his hand, he ad
vanced the plain, indisputable and self
evident proposition:
"Well, Misther North, I've got back."
North surveyed him orltlcally from
head to foot for an instant Then he
put a leading question abruptly:
"Yon are Dennis O'Reilly, are you
not?"
"Indade, sorr, an' I am that same,"
admitted Dennis with another low bow.
"Did you wish to see me?"
"Yls, sorr, by yer honor's lave."
"Why did you oome here, then, and
inquire for Mrs. Maynard?"
"Sure, an' that was Just what yer
honor timid me to do," protested Den
nis. " Twas yersllf, sorr, as tould me
that yer honor would be out of town
whin got back, an' so I was to report
mesllf to Mlsthress Maynard."
North nodded slightly at this confir
mation of his own shrewd suspicion;
adding instantly to Dennis:
"Where have you been for the last
few days? Why didn't you report
sooner?"
"Sooner, is it, sorr? Indade. thin, an'
I've been jlat where yer honor slut toe,
sorr," woe the evasive rrply as Dennis
began to eye his questioner somewhat
askance. '
"Oh, como on!" exclaimed North , sud
denly Uklng up his h;it from Uio );:tll
table. "I cannot tur;i Mr l'.r-ja.riY
house into an lnquiuitlon, and U.o pres
ent prospect is that I shall have to re
sort to the thumb-screws and rack be
fore I succeed in obtaining any satisfac
tory information." This last was an
aside, as he hurriedly drew on hla
gloves; then to Dennis he added more
intelligibly: "Come with mo to my
hotel, and we will have a confidential
talk about this matter."
Nothing loath, Dennis followed the
gentleman from the house and down the '
street at a pace set by North's im
patience: They did not exchange an- j
other syllable until they were closeted i
together in North's room at the Element
house; then throwing himself, down in
his favorite lounging chair and facing
O'Reilly, who was seated near him,
North returned to the charge.
"Now, O'Reilly, there's an agreement,
a business contract between us. Do
you understand that?"
" . - - n ,n ... .
It was not clear, rrom Mr. u lteuiy s
expression of countenance, that North's
meaning had fully penetrated and per
meated his intelligence; but notwith
standing his slightly blank look, he
gave a prompt and enthualatlo affirma
tive to this question.
"What do you understand to be the
terms of our agreement?" continued
North, determined to know his ground
perfectly before he ventured upon any
personal negotiations with the man.
"We've both agreed to do something;,
haven't we?"
This at least was within the scope of
Dennis' instant comprehension. His
ruddy face glowed as he responded em
phatically: "Thrue for you, sorr. An' it's mlsilf
as wull kape me worrud about that
same."
"Of course, Dennis, of course; you
will keep your word and I shall keep
mine. Now, what was it that you
agreed to do for me? Let us be per
fectly sure, before we go any further,
that we understand each other."
The expediency of this precaution
seemed to recommend itself to Dennis
at once, and he proceeded to do his ut
most toward establishing that desirable
mutual understanding.
"Wull, sorr," he began, looking re
flectively at North, "it was all along o
the sthlr made about Annie Dupont, an'
thim lawyers In New York puttln' so
much in the papers about her, an' me
kaowln' the whoile what a dale o'
throuble had been caused by me own
couslh Patrick O'Gorman's wife; for
who ud it be but Ann Murphy herself,
before the praste made her Ann O'Oor
man (bad luck to me cousin Patrick
when he did that same!) who was house
keeper an' me the coachman for the
mlsthress an' the swate young leddy aa
was Annie Dupont, sorr, an' nlvor knew
ut!"
The narrative becoming slightly in
volved here. North, who had followed it
thus far with Intent look fixed upon the
speaker, interposed.
"I dofi't understand what you are
talking about, Dennis," he said, a little
Impatiently, "but I gather from what
you say that you know something
about Annie Dupont Is this so?"
"Sure, an' haven't I been thryln' to
till yer honor that same?" protested
Dennis, eagerly. "It was tillln' a
friend about it that I was. an' about
thim paphers that contain all the infor
mation that thim New York lawyers
are advertisln' for, an' the paphers safe
in Ann O"0orman's clutches, bad luck
to her, whin yer honor sthlpped up to
me on the strate an' set, quiet-like: 'I'll
give yes fifty dollars, Dlnnis, if yez wull
bring them paphers to met' An' that's
the long an' short of our agraymcnt,
sorr."
And Dennis rubbed his hands to
gether complacently as if satisfied that
he had now made the case sufficiently
comprehensible even to Mr. North's
mind.
North was regarding O'Roilly with
close attention, and up to this point he
felt reasonably convinced of the man's
honesty of purpose. If this were true
this story of which already enough had

been told to suggest its remaining de
tailsthen it seemed quite possible that
he would be able to accomplish the
mission on which, as the representative
of Hunter &. Ketchum, he had come to
X . But did he now honestly wish
for this consummation? He had per
sonal interests that were trembling in
the balance; how would these be ef
fected by the discovery and
identification of Annie Dupont and the
establishment of her legal position as
her aunt's heir? Would she make an
effort to discover and pursue with all
the penalties of the law the authors of
that forgery by Which it had been at
tempted to wrest her inheritance from
her? Should, he, who held a brother's
good name in his hand, place it within
her power to seek this retribution? lie
was no longer the champion of Annie
Dupont For one moment of passionate
feeling, of desperate, temptation, it
seemed to him that be could ruthlessly
sweep her from his path, upon which
she had so suddenly risen with an in
definable menace, and shroud in deeper
mystery than ever before the fate of
one whose truthful history the world
should nover know.
But with the next moment came a
swift recoil from this temptation, a
feeling of amazement that he should
havo entertained such a thought Ollin
must be shielded if possible, but not at
such a cost as that Rather, for OUln's
sake, to undo as fur as po5ible the ter
rible Trrortjr that he bad attempted.
This unknown, friendless orphan, heir
to a proud name and wealth; though
now living perhaps in humble obscuri
ty, must be sought out and placed in
possession of her rightful Inheritance.
North had been slowly pacing the
floor while theso thoughts were pass
ing through His mind. Seating himself
now beside Dennis, he continued his in
quiries. "now long have you known these
facts about Annie Dupont, Dennis?"
"Iver since mo cousin Patrick tould
me, at Teddy ,0'Corrlgan's wake, sorr,"
returned Dennis, after a pause of recol
lection. "But when was that? I know noth
ing about Teddy . O'Corrigan's wake.'
Can you not tell me more definitely
than that?"
Dennis reflected again with his face
contorted as if the effort of memory
were a painful one. $
"Indade, thin," he exolaimed, sudden
ly radiant with triumph, "it was soon
after St Patrick's day, for I remember
that poor Teddy died of a brick-bat in
the hands of one of the byes, which
same was nlvir mint for Teddy at all, at
all.but for the blatherin' perlloeman that
was makln' hlmsilf troublesome to the
byes in the purade."
"St Patrick's day?" repeated North.
"Then It is nearly a year slnoe Patrick
told you. Have you talked to anyone
about the matter during this time?"
"Nlvir a bit sorr, till the day whin
yer honor heard me tellin' Jim Nolan
about it"
"Was that before or after you had
written to Hunter and Ketchum, of
New York, offering to give them this
information?"
The question was asked sternly, and
North's face was equally stern as he
spoke.
Dennis started as if he had been shot,
and his eyes grew more round than
ever in his astonishment and dismay.
He was beginning to stammer out some
answer, when North coolly added:
"Don't lose your senses, now, nor at
tempt to evade my question. I happen
to know all about that little affair, and
I wish to know whom you communi
cated with first: for it is pretty evident
that you have been accommodating
enough to offer yourself to both parties.
Come, now, to my question again. Was
it before or after you had written to
Hunter and Ketchum?"
Dennis hod not yet recovered from
the confusion Into which he had been
thrown on being thus suddenly eon
fronted with his double-dealing; but he
answered, humbly:
"It was after, yer honor."

FACTS ABOUT FURS.
Millions of Squirrel Tails Used-Dyad
Rabbit Hklns.
A good deal of uncertainty seems to
prevail as to the likely supply of seal
skins, but a recent feature in the fur
trade is a liberal resort to the use of
tails of animals, which at one time
were regarded as being of very second
rate importance. The most urgent de
mand for tails would appear to be in
the instance of ermine. But the point
only, being let black, is Inserted, after
the well-known fact of their introduc
tion, at intervals in reality, the ermine
trimmings of the sovereign and royal
family not actually consisting of the
tall of the ermine, but of the paws of
the black Astakhan lamb or other suit
able black fur, according to the Ware
houseman and Draper's Trade Journal.
Squirrel tails are however, largely
used, and one million or two million of
these find their way annually into the
market as well as martens' tails, which
really make a beautiful fur. The mus
quash tall is also a large article of com'
merce, the musquash skin itself being
perhaps the best natural low-priced fur
that finds Its way into our markets, and
far superior in point of wear to the
dyed rabbit skins that are sold In black
and brown lustered goods familiar in
the trade.
How Fast Coal Is Going.
A statistician has attempted to deter
mine approximately the world's con
sumption of coal He estimates that in
generating steam for engines aggregate
lng 10,000,000 horse power (some au
thors rate the world's engines as high
as 30,000,000 horse power) coal la burned
to the amount of about 13,000 tons per
hour. For gas for lighting, the con
sumption Is not less than 10,000 tons per
hour; and for gas for heating and mo
tive power, probably 4,500 tons. In
metallurgy, the use of coal reaches
about 0,000 tons per hour; and in work
shops and factories, 6,000 tons. It is
difficult to calculate the quantity em
ployed for domestlo purposes, but 55,
000 tons per hour, or 1,820,000 tons per
day of twenty-four hours, seems to be
anunder-estlmate. Placing the actual
dally consumption for the entire world
as low as 1,600,000 tons, we find that a
solid cube of coal more than 100 yards
on a side is burned up every day.
Delleate Italian Rings.
Rings of Italian workmanship are re
markably beautiful, aays the Detroit
Free Press. Venice particularly ex
celled in this art In the Londesborougb
collection is a fine specimen. The four
claws of the outer ring, in open work,
support the setting of a sharply pointed
pyramidal diamond, such as waa then
coveted for writing on glass. The
shank bears a fanciful resemblance to a
serpent swallowlngablrd,of which only
the claws connecting the face remain
in sight It was with a similar ring
Raleigh wrote the words on a window
pane: "Fain would I climb, but that I
fear to fall," to which Queen Elizabeth
added: "If thy heart fail thee, climb

which led him on to fortune.

In France there is an unwritten but im
mutable law that a painting shall not
be exhibited without the artist's con
sent do malter what the wishes of the
owner may be. And now a literary and
artistic congress in session at Milan,
Italy, has decided that the right of re
