All tills wits over while Francis had
Hi 111 one foot upon the threshold ujnl
the other raised In the air. TUe next
' Instant lie was on his knees to Mr,
Yiindeleiu".
s "Father!" he cried. "Let me, too, help
you. I will do wlmt you wish and oak
no questions. I will obey you with my
life. Treat nie na a son, and you will
lliid I have a son's devotion."
A deplorable explosion of oath3 was
the dictator's first reply.
"Son and father?" he cried. "Father
and eon? " What (lushed unnatural
comedy 1b all this? How do you come
In my garden? What do you Want?
And who, in God's name, are you?"
Francis, wSth n stunned und shame
faced aspect, got upou his feet again
and stood In silence.
Then a light seemed to break upon
Mr. Vandeleur and he laughed uloud.
' MI see," cried he. "It Is 'the Ner.vm
, geour. Very well, Mr. Scrymseotir.
Let me tell you' In a few words how
. you stand. You have entered my pri
vate residence by force, or perhaps by
fraud, bit certainly with no encour
agement from me, and you come at n
moment of some annoyance, a guest
having fainted at my table, to besiege
me with your protestations. You are
no son of mine. You are my brother's
bastard by., a fishwife, if you want to
know. I regard you with an Indiffer
ence closely bordering on aversion, and
from what I now see of your conduct
I Judge your mind to be exactly suit
able to your exterior. I recommend
you thesa mortifying reflections for
your leisure, and, in the meantime, let I
me beseech you to rid us of your pies
enee. If I were m.t occupied," added
the dictator, with a terrifying oath, "I
should give you the unhollcat drub
bing ere you went."
Francis listened in profound humilla
tion. He would have lied hud it been
possible; but, as lie had no means of
leaving the residence into which he had
o unfortunately penetrated, he could
do no more than stand foolishly where
he was.
It was Miss Vandeleur who broke
the silence. "Father," she said, "you
Mppcak In anger. Mr. Scrymgcour may
have been mistaken, but he meant well
and kindly."
"Thank you for speaking," returned
he dictator. "Yon remind me uf some
her observations which I hold It n

ftur. My' brother," he continued, ad
dtisliui the young man, "has been

The to: 0f th old man's voice were,
If possibl more wounding than his
language. i-,a nds felt himself ex

On the contrary, asked un opportuni

Just then Mr. Rolls male a convul

vinced Francis that u win-only drug

etuoped over hliu and exauiliad his face
fur an Instant.

head. "Let then be an emi of this.

"I spoke as I felt," sho replied, "il in

By this time they had reaches! tbe

to point?" ,
"Can you nsk?" replied Francis. "I
would do so willingly on your bare
word."
She turned tho key and threw open
the door.
"Be it bo," said she. "You do not
know what you nsk, but be It so.
Whatever you hoar," she continued,
"whatever happens, do not return to
this house. Hurry fast until you reach
the lighted and populous quarters of
the city,. Even there be on your guard.
Y'ou are in a greater danger than you
fancy, promise uie you will not so
much ns look at my keepsake until you
are In a place of safety."
"I promise," replied Francis.
She put t-oinethlng loosely wrapped
In a handkerchief Into the young man's
hand, and at the same time, with more
strength than he could have antici
pated, she pushed him into the street.
"Now run!" she cried.
He heard the door close behind him
and the noise of tho bolts being re
placed.
"My faith," said ho, "since I have
promised."
And ho took to his heels down the
lane that lends Into tbe Hue Kavignan
He was not fifty paces from the
house with the green blinds when the
most diabolical outcry suddenly arose
out on the stillness of the night. Me
chanically he stood Btlll; another pas
senger followed his example. In the
neighboring floors he saw people
crowding to the windows. A conflagra
tion could not have produced more dis
turbance in this empty quarter. And
yet It seemed to be all the work of a
single man, roaring between grief and
rage, like a lioness robbed of her
whelps, and Francis was surprised and
alarmed to hear his own name shouted
with English Imprecations to the wind.
His first movement was to return to
the house; his second, ns he remember
ed Miss Vandeleur's advice, to con
tinue his flight with greater expedition
than before, and he was in the act .of
turning to put his thought In action
when tho dictator, bareheaded, Imw'-

HIS OWN.
Ing aloud, his white hnir blowing nlxmt
Lis head, ehot jtast him like a ball out
of the cannon's mouth and went ca
reering down the stn-et.
" "That was a close shave," thought
Francis to himself. "What he wants
with Die and why he should be so dis-
turbel I cannot think, but he Is plainly
not good compajiy for the iih.iim nt, and
I cannot do lwtter than 'follow Miss
Vaiidelcur'a advice."
fij Raying, he turned to retrace his
steps, thinking to double and descend
by the Hue Lcplc itw If while his pur
suer should continue to follow after
him on the other line of street. The
plan waa ill devised. As a matter of
fact be should have taken his scat in
the nearest cafe and wait d there until
the first beat of the pursuit was over.

every
aid. Indeed, the youug man was tore
both In body and mind the one whs all
bruised, the oilier was full of smarting
arrows, and he owned to himself that
Mr, Vandeleur wus master of a very
deadly tongue.
The. thought of his bruises reminded
him that he had not only come with
out a hat, but that his clothes had con
slderahly suffered In his descent
through the chestnut. At the first
magazine he purchased a cheap wide
awake and had the disorder of his
toilet summarily rt paired. The keep
sake. Still rolled 111 the handkerchief,
he thrust in the meanwhile into his
trousirs pocket. '
Not many steps beyond the shop ho
was conscious of n, suddch . fchoek, a
hand upon his throat, an Infuriated
face close to his own and uu open
mouth howling curses lit his car. Tho
dictator, having found no trace of his
quarry, was returning by the other
way. Francis was a stalwart young
fellow, but he was no match for his
adversary whether In t;treug(hor skill
and after a few Ineffectual struggles
he resigned himself entirely to bla cap
tor. ,
"What do you want with tne?" said
he. , . ?
"We will talk of that at home," re-'
turned the dictator grimly. "'-'
And he continued to march the
young man up hill In the direction of
the house with the green blinds.
But Fran-Ms, although he no longer
struggled, was only waiting an oppor
tunity to make a bold push for free
dom. With a sudden Jerk, he left the
collar oi his coat In the hands of Mr.
Vandeleur and once more made off at
his best speed In the direction of the
boulevards.
The tables were now turned. If the
dictator was the stronger, Francis, in
the top of his youth, was the more
fleet of foot, and he had soon effected
hts escape among the crowds. Hellevea
for a moment, he walked briskly until
he debouched upon the I'lace de
l'Opera, lighted up like day with elec
tric lamps.
"This, at least," thought he, "should
satisfy Miss Vandeleur."
And, turning to his right along the
boulevards, ho entered the Cafe Amer
lea in and ordered some beer. It was
both lute and early for the majority of
tile frequenters of the establishment.
Only two or three persons, all men,
were dotted here and there at separate
tables In the hall, and Francis was too
much occupied by his own thoughts to
observe their presence.
He drew the handkerchief from his
pocket. The object wrapped in It
proved to tie a morocco case, clasped
and ornamented In gilt, which opened
by means of a spring and disclosed to
the horrified young man u diamond of
monstrous bliiiiess and cxtraordlnarv
brilliancy. The circumstance waa fo

plainly so enormous, that Franc! at

FIGHT AT YENTAI COAL'
MINES.
IN
By the Associated Press.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 12. No official
news of the result of today's battle
south of Mukden Is available at this
hour. . Kuropntkln doubtless has com
municated his regular report to the
emperor, but the dispatch was not
sent, hack to the general staff tonight.
So tho latest. word from Russian
I'ources is contained In the Associated
Press dispatch .from Mukden.
The frontal attack on Vcntal mines
developed a desperate battle, in which
probably hundred thousand men were
engaged, but though the dispacb.es so
far deal almost exclusively with this
feature of the hattlo It Is pointed out
that there Is a much wider field in
volved. The fight on the Russian left flank
has not yet developed ajul possibly
here Kuropatkin intends to deliver his
main blow. ,
Wide Turning Movement.
The appearance tonight of a Rus
sian column at Tz-Yanchan, thirty
miles southeast of Mukden, striking
at Oyama's communication with the
Yalu, and knowledge that another col
umn 1.-3 already across Taltse river
gives evidence) of the wide nature of
tho turning movement. It Is possible
Unit the attack nn Yontal mines may
imply bo intended to hold the main
Japanese force stationed and the out
come of tluv Yeut.iL fight may have
little, bearing on the result of tho gen
eral engagement.
Kuropatkin Has Most Men.
While it is now asserted that Kuro
patkin enjoys considerable numerical
superiority, the main fear expressed
is that this superiority is insufficient
to enable lira to carry out the big op
eration he has undertaken.
Apprehension Is caused by the To-
kio dispatch saying that Oyama re
ports he Is gaining ground and has
cut. off a Russian column below Talt
se river, k is only natural, after re
peated reverses already suffered, that
the Russians fully realize how much
Kuropatkin has staked 'upon the as
sumption of the offensive.
Battle Is Most Important.
Tho battle now in progress tin
doubtedly will outweigh In importance
the hard fight at f,luo-Yarir. For Kit
ropntkln, victory, partial or coriiplete.
is absolutely necessary. Defeat would
certainly spell ruin for his military
reputation and probably prove n dis
aster of the first magnitude to the
Russian army. If the Japanese should
roll up Kuropatkin's advance now, all
hope of aggressive Russian success in

MORE PROOF DROUGHT OUT BE
FORE THE INTERSTATE COM
MISSION AT CHICAGO, WHICH

tices of tho Armour . Cur company

tion by the Interstate Commerce com
mission at its closing session ithls af

adjourned pending a special call, will)
the Investigation suspended.
Charges of gross oppression were
made by several commission men ot
Chicago and other points,, who .have
had to depend on the Armour Car sys
tem for the transportation of their
product. , .
George F, Mead, of George F. Mead
& Co., fruit dealers, and vice-president
of the national Association of
Commission men, of Boston, . stated
that tho aetics of the Armour com
pany were fast ruining the commis
sion business all over' the east.
A. L. Somers, a South Water street
commission merchant, testified that
.he Armour company's charges are
far in excess of the actual cost for
Icing ears and cited several instances
where he had been charged $15 for
icing a car for a trip of 200 miles or
less, comparing the rate with one of
$10 made by the Santa Fe, railroad for
