HARRIET I.EWIS. CHAPT RR I. . TIIE LADY BEATRICE. Had she lived before the siege of Troy, Helen, whose beauty summoned Oreece to anus. And drew a thousand ships to Tenedos, Had not been named in Homer's Iliad ; Her name had been in every line he wrote. MARLOWE. The Lady Beatrice Hampton, only child of the Earl of Hampton, had passed her youth and early woman hood, and was still unmarried. She had had no lack of suitors, for she had inherited from her mother an im mense fortune, and was beautiful, wit ty, accomplished, a reigning belle, and a leader in society. Her friends were puzzled at her adherence to celibacy, aud no one was more puzzled than her father, whose greatest desire was to see her happily married. It was an uu solvable problem to the Earl, that his daughter should persist in refusing the most eligible offers, and she was looked upon, even by her admirers, as a beautiful mystery, a delightful puz zle, a marble-hearted and incompre hensible Sphynx. One March evening, in the drawing room of his town-house, Lord Hamp ton s;it thinking of his daughter. The night was wild and stormy. The pleasant room presented a strong con trast to the gloom without. A sea coal fire flamed in the polished grate. The great chandelier flooded the room with light. Flowers, fresh from the green-house, with moisture yet upon their petals, were crowded with pro fusion into vases, whose delicate sculp ture would have tired an artist's heart. The heavy, warm-hued curtains fell in folds to the floor, shutting out the darkness, and shutting in the light and warmth and fragrance. The Earl was tall and stately, with becoming portliness of figure, and eyes as keen as in his early youth, a com plexion of unusual ruddiness, hair and whiskers of iron-gray, and manly fea tures, whose expression inclined to sternness. He had almost reached threescore years and ten. but he exhibi ted none of the feebleness of age. His mind retained its vigor, and his man ners were those of the courtly old school gentleman. His thoughts were eveidently anx ious and troubled. He roused himself from them at last, and stretched out his hand towards the bell-pull. At that moment the curtains dividing the apartment from a second draw ing-room were lifted, and the Lady Beatrice entered. "You sent for me, father ?" she in quired, approaching him. "You de sired to see me?" "I did, Beatrice," responded his lordship. "I have something of impor tance to say to you." The Lady Beatrice stood leaning a gainst the marble mantel-piece in an expectant attitude. She was a superbly beautiful wo man. At least four and thirty years of age, she looked scarcely five and twenty. Lord Hampton looked at her with a father's pride, yet with a strange ex pression. This being, so cold to oth ers, was equally cold to him. He won dered if she ever experienced any womanly emotions, and, while he wondered, the Lady Beatrice broke the sileuee : "You have news from your friend Lord Adlowe, have you not ?" she asked. "Yes; his lordship has returned to England," replied the Earl. "I re ceived a line from him this morning, informing me that he arrived in town last evening. I called upon him, and invited him to dine with us to-day. He is all impatience to see you. It is of Lord Adlowe that I am about to speak to you." The Lady Beatrice bowed her head without speaking. Encouraged by her attentiveness, the Earl resumed: "Lord Adlowe comes back to us, af ter his live years' journeying, more than ever your slave. He has been lor eight years your faithful lover. It was you who made him an exile and a wanderer. He has kept himself single, waiting patiently, never reproaching you for your coldness, never forcing his attentions upon you." "Because he never dared to!" inter posed the Lady Beatrice, with an icy smile. "I do not like Ormond Ad lowe, father. He is false and bad at heart, his years of devotion to me not withstanding. He has returned to renew his persecutions of me. He is tired of roving, I suppose, and his cof fers need replenishing. Of all my suitors I like him least. I must repeat what 1 have said so many times to you and to him- I shall never marry." "And why not?" demanded the Earl. "Have you realized that time is slipping away, and that you are ad vancing in years? How long will it be before you will be pushed aside in so ciety by younger rivals. I shall soon die, and you sviil be left alone. I long to see you mistress of your own house hold, a happy wife. Can it he that you are still mourning for that mis guided Geoffrey Travelyan—the un worthy scion of a noble house, the midnight robber of his uncle—" "Stop!" said the Lady Beatrice, a swift flush overspreading her features. "1 do not care to hear Geoffrey Treve iyau's name. They say he is dead." "Yes, he is dead," said the Earl, thoughtfully. "He died many years ago, in a foreign land—poor fellow! After all he was hut a hoy, and his un timely fate always saddens me. He had in him the stuff for a noble man, but was warped by harshness and evil associates. Had Lord Tervelyan, his uncle, whose heir he was, pursued him less vindictively for his crime, Geof frey might have been living, and hon ored to-day. I don't blame you for grieving for him, for you were his be trothed wife. But he was unworthy and is dead. You were but a mere child when he disappeared. Surely you do not cherish a love for his memo ry still." "I am not romantic, father," said the Duly Beatrice, dryly. "You say that all men are not like him, meaning that Lord Adlowe is without Geoffrey's weaknesses and faults. Lord Adlowe is not weak, but his is not the strength 1 iike. The truth is, I cling to my freedom, father. I like to rule in socie ty. I like to be admired and wor shipped, but I have no heart for my admirers to win. 1 have no heart. "Why must you disappoint thehopes I have .so long cherishes!, Beatrice?" questioned her father, bitterly. "Have you no love for me, no respect for my wishes? What would your loved 'so ciety' say if it knew you were a mys tery to your own father? When Lord Adlowe was here live years since, he | told me that you were leading a double ; life. llis words have been conflrmed ; a hundred times since by my own ob | servation. You do lead a double life. You are one thing and seem another." Beatrice started, lowering her gaze to tire tire, as if she feared her soul wight look from her eyes and play the 1 traitor. "I do not understand you !" she murmured. "1 will endeavor to explain," re turned the Earl, gravely. "You are the mistress of my household. You receive our visitors, preside at our balls,aud parties, and fulfill your du ties to society. But day after day, evening after evening, you mysteri ously shut yourself up in your owu apartments, seeing no one, replying to no summons or messages, giving no evidence of life. It is as if your cham bers were your tomb. I have frequent ly knocked at your door without e-licit a response. The last time I was at tacked by the gout, I sent for you, and yet you did not come to me for hours, and did not even send to Inquire aft'-r my welfare. What is the explanation ol this, Beatrice?'' The daughter stood motionless and silent. "I have tried to answer the question for myself," said the Earl, after waiting in vain for a reply. "If it were possi ble for you to leave the house so con tinually without my knowledge, I should believe that half your time was spent away from home. I have re marked that these seclusions do not oeeur at our country-seat. Do you spend these missing hours in opium eater's dreams? I again ask you Bea trice, what is the meaning of these seasons of dumbness and silence ?" The Lady Beatrice lifted her head, turning her face to the light. Her countenance was of marble whiteness, save that in her cheeks burned a scar let glow. Her eyes were iike glowing suns. Her manner betrayed an intense agitation and excitement, showing that her whole nature was in commotion. "I have no explanations to give, father," she said, a tremor of passion underlying her cold tones. "Think what you will—suspect as you may—l have nothing to say. Be lieve anything that may seem proba ble. But do not forget that lam your daughter, as proud as yourself. I know I would rather die than sully the name I bear. Let that suffice!" She stood erect in her imperial beau ty, like one without a trace 01 weak ness in heart or soul. At that moment the curtains were again lifted, and Lord Adlowe entered the apartment. There was a peculiar gleam in his eyes, and a singular smile about his mouth: he had been a listener to most of the conversation between the father and daughter. Lord Adlowe was in the prime of manhood. He was handsome, and years of foreign travel, with strange adventures in far off lands, had con tributed a halo of romance to his char acter. His complexiou had been dark ened by exposure to wind and sua. I lis hair was light, and his eyes were pale, keen, cold, and cruel, and had in them at times a wicked light. He had returned impoverished in purse, hampered by debts, worn out by dissipation, with the fixed resolve of urging to a consummation his claims upon the hand of the Lady Beatrice. At sight of her, so radiant in her l>eauty, his face flushed with eager ness, and he came forward rapidly, ex tending both his hands. Lord Hampton, delighted, sprang up to greet him. The Lady Beatrice permitted her returned suitor to clasp her cold, jew elled hands, greeting him politely, ev en kindly, her manner warming under his manifestations of extreme delight. She welcomed him home, and colored slightly under his gaze of eager admira tion. The Earl, encouraged by her gracious manner, began to hope that his conver sation had had the desired effect, anrd Hampton, with an appearance of sin cerity. "The dear girl was agitated by her recent interview with you, and having a headache—" "No apologies are necessary," inter rupted Lord Adlowe, as the Earl in stinctively hesitated in his speech- I should be sorry to disturb her under the circumstances. I will call uj>on her after my return from the country. The Earl sighed. It was hard for him, with his clear perceptions of in tegrity and honor, to offer these false explanations. "Beatrice will not be visible before three to-morrow," he said. "These dis sipations tell upon her. 1a in going to take her into the country as soon as the warm weather comes. We shall be your neighbors then, Adlowe, for Treveiyan Park is not many miles dis tant from our country home. You will stop at the Park, i suppose." Lord Adlowe replied in the affirma tive. The Earl resumed his seat, and the two pursued their conversation with an appearance of interest in it; but all the while the father's heart wandered to the mystery of his daught er's strange seclusion, and all the while Ad Towe studied upon the same subject. "If I could only get a ciue to iiea trice's secret!" thought the guest. Fate seemed inclined to throw the desired clue into his hands. The two gentlemen were in the midst of an apparently absorbing dis cussion concerning a person for whom neither eared, when a Hverod porter, whose duty it was to stand near the en trance door, burst into the drawing room, his face the picture of wildest alarm. "If you please, my lord," he gasped, scarcely conscious of what he was say ing, "there is smoke coming from the Lady Beatrice's dressing-room. .Some thing must be un fire witliin. The Earl leaped to his feet. "Theroom on fire!" he ejaculated. " Yes, my lord. I'll give the alarm." "No!" commanded his lord sternly. "Say nothing to your fellow-servants. Stay in the lower liall." His lordship pushed aside the astoun ded servitor, dashed up the stairs three steps at a time, and rushed tow ward his daughter's rooms. Load Adlowe followed at his heels. There was smoke in the hall, issu ing from one of rooms of the Lady Beatrice. Clearly something was burning within. A group of servants, anxious and frightened, stood near the door. The Earl ordered them away peremtorily, aud they dared not disobey him. They filed away through the various passa ges towards tiieir owu domains. "Go down stairs, Adlowe," said the Earl. "I am going to break the door in!" "i will help you," was the brief re sponse. The eyes of the two mfen met. The Earl did not dare to say that he knew not what should meet his gaze when lie o;>ened. He had neither time nor inclination to explain. Submitting to the unavoidable presence of Adlowe he said: "Come, then ; put your shoulder to the door!" "Adlowe obeyed. The Earl lent his assistance. The door yielded and burst open. The two men rushed into the room. It was full of smoke, so dense that not an object within the appartment was perceptible. Coughing and choking, the Earl crossed the floor and threw up the windows, establishing a draft of air. Lord Adlowe quietly closed the door, and stood against it. The apartment cleared rapidly, and the intruders soon observed the cause of the disturbance. A fire was burn ing in thegrate, and one of the live coals had snapped out, finding lodgr rnent in the thick pile of a velvet rug. Here it had smouldered and burned with sickening oder and heavy smoke. The Earl caught up the rug, rolled i it tightly, stamping out the tire, and then flung it from him. Lord Adlowe looked curiously a j round the apartment. It was u dressing-room fit for an era press. But the owner of all this splendor was not there. Lord Adlowe darted quick, scrutini zing glances to the various couches and ! chairs, but the form of the Lady Beat rice did not greet his vision. "She is in one of the other rooms," he thought; "1 mean to see iter before I leave them!" He Had scarcely made this resolve, when the Earl said. "The fire is extinguished, Adlowe. Many thanks for your assistance. Let us return to the drawing-room !" "tut the Lady Beatrice—" "Is in one of the other rooms, of course. In her boudoir, or bed-cham ber aud the Farl looked from the right to the left, the dressing-room oc cupying a middle position between the two rooms mentioned. "She must be suffocated with this smoke," persisted Lord Adlowe, ad hering to his resolve. "Perhaps she is lying on the floor, in a swoon." The Eari grew even paler. He look ed at his guest hesitatingly. Ho was anxious, now that he stood upon the threshold of a discovery, to probe the secret oftne Lady Beatrice. But lie could not bare his heart to his daught er's suitor. He thought a moment, then said: "Remain here, zYdiowe, while I look in the boudoir." He moved towards the front room, opened the door, and passed in. Lord Adlowe—firm in his bold pur pose—also approached the entrance aud looked into the room iu question. It was unoccupied. The suitor of the Lady Beatrice re treated as soon as he made the discov ery, while Lord Hampton stood bewil dered under the gleaming gas-lamps. When the Earl came out, Adlowe met him with an inquiry as to the state of his daughter. ".She is in her bed-chamber," said the Earl briefly, moving towards the last-named room. He opened the door, entering a sleep apartment. The couches were unoccu pied, and the father approached the bed. parting tho lace curtains. Lord Adlowe stood in the door-way, watching him intently Tho pretty laoe-frilied pillows were plump and round, the white satin bed spread smooth and straight. No form lay within the dainty, perfumed sheets; uo impress of a figure was visi ble anywhere. "Howstrange!" muttered the father. "Where can Beataice be? She must be in her bath-rooui." He knocked at the door of the bath room. No one answered, He looked in. No one was there, "Not here!" exclaimed the Earl, in co'mplete astonishment, "iter doors are all locked, to give the impression that she is here. She must have quit ted the house. But where could she have gone? And when? And how? lie went to her wardrobe and closets, but the bonnets, shawls, and mantles of the Lady Beatrice were all there. He knew well the varions articles of bis daughter's wrappings, hut uot a shawl or cloak that he had over seen her wear was missing. The only evidence that threw any light upon the subject was the discov ery of the dress she had worn at din ner. The crimson velvet robe lay in a heap on the floor of a closet, as if it hd been hnrriodly east there. Lord liampton renewed his search, looking everywhere, but in vain. The fact was incontrovertible—the Lady Beatrice was gone! "This, then." said the unhappy fath er, "is the secret of my daughter's mysterious seclusions! She pretends to be shut up hero when she is in reality elsewhere. I comprehend now why she always refuses to employ a maid! The mystery is deeper than ever. Where is she ? Why has she gone out so secretly ? How did she go unseen ?' He groaned in the anguish of his heart. Lord,Adlowe still standing in the door-way, looked as if a great good-for tune had fallen to him. He had gained a elue-siinpie and fra'.l—but still a clue to the mystery enveloping Lord Hampton's daughter. VOL. 64.—WHOLE No. 5,497. The Earl struggled with his emo tions, gained a factitious calmness, and slowly returned to the dressing-room, lie found his guest standing near the the door, evidently waiting the signal for departure. "Beatrice is not injured, Adlowe," he said, quietly, not lifting his gaae. ' She will nonreturn to us this evening. Let us go down." He secured the door so that it could not be opened by an v prying servant, and the two descended to the drawing room. Lord Adlowe thought it best not to prolong his visit, and took his leave. "The Hampton mystery deepens," he muttered, as he descended the steps of Hampton House, setting out for the hotel at whieh he was temporarily stopping. "It is no vulgar and de grading habit that enslaves the Lady Beatrice—no opium-eating, nothing of that kind. She's gone, and for years has been in the habit of absenting her self in this strange manner. Where does she go? (Jan it be that Geoffrey is living, and that she meets liim else where, thus living a double life, as I so long ago suspected? I must resolve these horrible questions. I must watch—hire a detective—give up my whole soul to th is enquiry. I mast dis cover something that will force her to marry me?"

Anson Burlingame) conceded to this Com pany the privilege of connecting the great sea ports of the Empire by submarine electric tele graph cable, we propose commencing operations in China, and laying down a line of nine hundred miles at once, between the following port s. vis Population. Canton..... 1,000,000 Maooa 60,000 Hong-Kong 260,000 Swatow 200,000 Amoy ..250,000 Poo-Chow. 1,250,000 Wan-Chu 300,000 Ningpo 400,000 Hang Chean 1,200.000 Shanghai 1,000,000 Total 5,010,000 These ports have a foreign commerce of $900,- 000.000. and an enormous domestic trade, besides which we have the immense internal commerce of the Empire, radiating from these points, through its canals and navigable rivers. The cable being laid, this company proposes erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and trustworthy means of communication, which must command there, as everywhere else, the commu nication? of the Governmont, of business, and of social life especially in China. She has no postal system, and tier only means nowofcommuuieating information is by couriers on land, and by steam ers on water. The Western World knows that China is a very large country, in the main densely peopled; but few yet realise that she contains more than a third of the human race. The latest returns made to her central authorities for taxing purposes by the local magistrate make her population Four hun dred and Fourteen, millions, and this is more likely to be under than over the actual aggregate. Nearly all of these, who are over ten years old, not only can but do read and write. Her civili zation is peculiar, but her literature is as exten sive as that of Eurepe China is a land of teach ers and traders ; and the latter are exceedingly quick to avail themselves of every proffered facili ty for procuring early information. It is observed in California that the Chinese make great use of the telegraph, though it there transmits messages in English alone. To-day great numbers of fleet steamers are owned by Chinese merchants, and used by them exclusively for the tranamissioa of early intelligence. If the telegraph we propose connecting all their great seaports, were now in existence, it is believed that its business would pay the cost within the first two years of its suc cessful operation, and would steadily increase thereafter No enterprise commends itself as in a greater degree renumerative to capitalists, and to our whole people. It is of vast national importance commercially, politically and evangelioally. fcjp-The stock of this Company has been un qualifiedly recommended to capitalists and busi ness men, as a desirable investment by editorial articles in the New York Herald, Triluue, World, Times, Post, Express, Independent, and in the Philadelphia Piorth American, Press, Ledger, Inquirer, Age, Bulletin and Telegraph.
