"W'vl, I'm blest! lint an extra ordinary tnlnjc! Who the (Iciit-u cim have Hi-ut it, unit whiit t lit devil do they mean ly It?" and dipt. Clitheroe turued over nnd over n ilulnty sheet cf mite inM-r oo which a few words were written lu bold, dtwlded cliar lieters. "It's altogether the riiinmleHt Ko I've ever come utross. Au un onyinous letter!" The note ran thu: "It will be worth your while to watch your wife ihis afternoon; she Is milk ing n call at the Hotel Metropole. You may not tlud your vixlt altojietlier auiuNlut;. but you will certainly find it iusnucrht!" "By .love!" said the captain, "how nbsii-d: Some woman, I puppoo, jealous of Lily's good lmiks. It's ill wnys u woman who doon tliat Hurt of thlutt- I'uof little Lily perhaps she may make a curs.-i at the writer, she's a lotitf-lieaded little woman." Ami pickhiK up the mysterious com muiiiciuloii. dipt. ClltlieriH- was altout to make his way to his wife's room, when that charmlnc younvr lady flut tered Into the breakfast room, In the freshest nud most fasclnatlm: of morn lutf powus. "Have I kept you waitlnir. HukIi? I'm so sorry!" nnd she took her place serenely beliind her urn. "Any news?" she asked, clnnclns nt the pile of leters beside her husband's plate. "None at all; everything Is as dull as can Vie." Somehow it seemed ridiculous to tell Z.Wy abo.it the note. And then wo men miv kucIi extraordinary creatures, t.nre v:s no knuwtiiK how she mitflit tuke It "That was a charmlnc dance at the glisters last niifht," 'volunteered jdy, after a pause, during which shu had opeuetl strveral of her letters. "You certainly seemed to onlov your self." ' ' "I did. I oh! here Is a card from Lota Janlyne. She wants us to dine there ou the twentieth to meet the -Vnlinraja of Kaputhala. How that woman wts xoplo to jro to her I don't know. Resides, why does she fcsk us' We me not in that fast set, thank goodness, and besides, she hates ii.e." . "Hates yon! My dear Lily, what uonseusc! v'Dy, last niht she was musing your praises to me for ever so long." "Oh, yos, I know ou tete-a-tete In the conservatory. Oapt. C'liUieroe laughed. "You are too hard on her. Lily. She Is not so bad. though, of course, I K'ltmld not care to havo you her bosom Mend. Hut, really, she talked of no thing but you, how graceful you were, how charming in fact, when she pass ed from your hulr to your teeth, I Ile um io iuul a little uneasy. I was afraid a full catalogue of your charms was to follow." Mrs. CUthoroe hail flushed to the roots of her yolden hair. "What an abominable woman? What did you do?" "Well, her partner came and claim ed her for the next dance, and so I escaped. But why ou earth should you think the woman hates you?" "Why, you dear old Bliupletou! Don't you know she will never forgive me for being Mrs. CJlitheroe? Don't vou kuow she wanted you to play Lancelot to her Ouluevere?" "Lily!" "Hush: But never mind her. Bv the way. fear, I don't think I ever knew any ie to waltz like your friend Graham. It makes one think of all those dellrously wicked little French love poems that on mayn't read till one's married." "Really, my dear Lily!" laughed Hugh. "Well, you know, dear, so few men do dance nowadays that oue may I e permitted to enthuse a little over one who does; and beside, Cnpt. Graham is altogether delightful lu every way." "Yea, ho's one of the best fellows I know; I'm find you like him." "It wit ho strange. I felt sure I had seen bltn before, and we made out we had act at Mentone, when I was traveling with uncle, years ago." "Really! Lady Janlyne said ulie knew you at Muutone." "Oh, bother Uidy Jardyno! You must ask Cap!. Graham to dine; I like to know your bachelor friends." "With plaasun, darling; but he has only just arrived, you know, imii don't know when.- he has put up. How ever, he's sure to lock In at Vw dub." "Oh, he Uld me last night lie was staylns at the Metropole!" "The Metropole!" and Oapt. Olitlieroo eet down his cori'ee cup with a Jerk. "Yea; what's the matter?" "Nofhlne," he answered, smiling: but, glancing at his wife after a mo ment, he fancied she looked a little disturbed and she broke the seal of an other letter. It was a most extraordinary co incidence, and CortAllllv Cm hum hn.l Leuu particularly attentive to Lily last iiij;i;i, ami -our u Impossible, yet Mrs. Clitheroe thought. "Do you know, Graham "My dear Lily, Captain Graham was altogether too broke into hi a Hugh, that Cnpt. havo J'X- fou to claimed hur husband, ristnc alirmitti- Mrs. Clitheroe looked at him with a slight Hugh was given to asminimg Othello-like moods at times, an. I they wer rather amusing to his fair Des Jeiiiona than otherwise. Meantime, lluh was gazing i-ir'.in blankly at the trees of Grosvenor square, and trying hard to dispel the doubt Uiat had arisen iu his ml ml. i'eoylo, U reflected, wfco .write auvny- nioua lettora are prortrblally fjowards and slanderers, yet there U seUl'im any smoko without fire, the Metro pole! it was an itraordlnary colu cldencel What should he do? Should lui sift the matter out at once? It might be wiser yes! Captain Clitheroe turned and caught a fasclnntlng glimpse of bis wife, who stood With upraised arms before the glass, arranging a refractory curl How very pretty she was! Her dainty, saucy face smiled back at him from the mirror, her parted lips disclosing thorn! exquisite white teeth which were nt! of her greatest charms. Imism slble that she should deceive him -absolutely Impossible! Besides, they had married for love, antl that little moro than a year ago; It could not be. As he stood Irresolute, a sudden In spiration flashed upon his mind.. "Lily, what da you say to driving down to Richmond this afternoon, and dining there? Wouldn't It be rather Jolly?" "Delightful. That Is. If you think we can get back In time for Lady Val nioiit's ret'i'rtlon, you know." "Oh, we shall have heaps of tlmo," he exclaimed, gleefully, and he stoop ed nnd kissed her. "Bo ready to start directly after lunch, like a good little woman." Cnpt. Clltheroe's sigh of relief when he was alone was the sort of thing to gladden the heart of an optimist. The letter was all nonsense, of course, or she would have made some excuse, darling little Lily. Now ho would burn the letter and forget nil almut It. No; he would keep It, and to-night, when they were driving home, he would show It and she should laugh at him as much as she pleased, inul together they might unravel the mys tery or practical Joke, whichever It might be. So the gilt-edged note was replaced In his pocket, ns he took ids way to his own den. He stood .1 moment in he hall to relight his cigarette, and his eyes 1V11 on a' scrap of paper nt Lis feet. Me chanically he picked it up; It was a fragment of a torn envelope, nnd a bit of the letter had been left Inside. Hardly thinking what ho did, ho glanced at them, and his attention was unpleasantly arrested by an un mistakable "pole" on the remains of the tlap of the euvelope, and "three sharp" on the minute corner of tin; enclosed letter, with "V. Gr" on the other side. He stood stockstlll. Without a doubt the Incomplete words were "Metro pole" and "F. Graham." We all of us have a few bad quar ters of an hour to pass during our progress through this vnle of tears, anil, . haps, the Interval Ix'twecn his entering his den and bis emerging from it nt the sound of the luncheon bell was the worst that Hugh Clitheroe was ever destined to traverse. Lily was already In the dining room when he appeared, but a striking eban.,"' had come over her. The bright, fresh figure of the morning was gone; the pretty golden head nnd the dainty face were completely shrouded in a huge lace veil. "What's the matter?" asked Hugh, hurriedly. "Oh, Hugh, dear, thnt neuralgia that dreadful neuralgia; I shall go mad with the pain, I think." "Foor little girl," he said, gently; "perhaps the air will do you good." "The air? Oh. I forgot. Oh, Hugh, I cannot possibly go! I am too 111." Hugh's heart sank. "But. dear " "The drive would make It ever so iiuuii wurne, soo iDrcrruprefl, pettish ly. "It Is absurd to think of it. I shall stay In my room, ami be very quiet all tlie afternoon, nnd perhaps when you conic back to dinner I shall lie quite well again." "I'erhnps! There seems to lie some thing very erratic alxut Its coining ami going." Lily gazed at blm a moment "I will go upstairs now, Hugh. What are you going to do?" "Oh, I shall go to Uw chin," be an swered, carelessly, "and then on to the Falrchllda. I sha'n't trouble you." "You never do thnt, dear." she said, sweetly, as she gave him a little fwt terfly kiss on her way out Hugh Clitheroe felt as If some one had dealt hiui a blow. That was the last straw! He was grimly determin ed to carry out to the bitter end the plan he bad formed this morning. With unusual emphasis 1ms gave his parting directions to his man. nnd closed the hall door after him In a manner calculated to exaggerate his wife's neuralgia. There was little unnecessary noise, however, alxiut the way in which he reentered the house later. Nevtr had he walked so softly In his Ufa as when he stole back to Ids den, which commauded a view of the staircase and the hall. It was mean execrably mean, be knew, of course; but at that moment he heard the gentle frou-fron of a wo man's gown, then a noiseless opening and closing of the hall door, and the next uiomeut he was watching his wife's black-robed figure being whirled away In a hansom. A second more saw lil ni following in auother cab. The vehicles drew up. ouo lehlnd the other before the portico of the Metropole. Capt. Clitheroe sat well back lu his hansom, while Lily passed rapidly into the hall of the hotel. Whim she had disappeared, he followed. His face was white and set and his soul was boiling within him. Graham, his own familiar friend, in whom ha had trusted! Of course, it was always so. Lily! his bright Innocent, girlish wife! His hands clenched as ho thought of It. The difficulty watt, of course, to dls eover'the number of the room. There was no knowing under what alias Graham might he passing it was best not to mention names. A few minutes' eonvevsHtlou with Hie porter, conducted In a diplomatic manner, a turn or two of I ho golden key. and Cant. Clitheroe found him self outside Ko. 72 only a few minutes after Lily had entered it lie wati obliged to pause a liioiin-llt to control himself, then abruptly turu- "! the handle of the done. For a second there was absolute silence as he stood ou the threshold taking in the scene before hlui. lf wife, her hat thrown off, her wraitH loosened, was reclining In tin easy-chair bending over was a tall, dark man. but not Frank Graham. It was this discovery that s-lillletl ' apfain Clitheroe, but only for a cec oii l. Tne hero of the adventure was dill, reut; but alas! tho miserable ad venture remained the same. lie advanced quiokly, and Lily, ter rified by bin loofca, uiterjjd a aLarp cry auJ covered her face with her bands; tlie stranger alone remained impnssablo, calmly polite and smiling. "Who ore yon? What are you?" thundered the captain, besltln himself with rape. "May I as't yon the same question?" eauie with a slight nnsal Intonation from the smiling Hps of the stranger. "I nm Cnpt. Clltbroe." "Madam's husband! I see!" Ills calm nllousness maddened Hugh. "How do you oNplniti your conduct? my wife's presence hero?" ' "1 can explain nothing without mad n m's permission." "Oh. Hugh!" sobbed Lily. "I will explain everything to you. I will, In deed; only go nway go awnyl, Oh! why did you come here?" Capt. Clitheroe laughed, sardonical ly, and flung down the letter of the morning. "Because I wanted to see the truth then' was In this." "Lota J.nrdyne's! I'm sure It Is from her. I told you she hated me. Oh, If you would on'y go away!" Hugh turned from her Impatiently, and once more confronted the stran ger, who still wore bis slightly amused air "You, sir It Is with you I have to do. Do you tlilnk I mean to parley with you? Do you thluk I am going to bo made the laughing stock of the town? Do you think What's that?" he ns!:ed. Imperatively, as his eye lighted on a dainty morocco ense on the table. I'lu' si ranger made a movement to bike it, but Clitheroe was too quick fur blm . "No. I will see It! You have dared to make her presents!" and In his rnge he fumbled helplessly with the spring. "I would not open fl If I were you, captain," put In the dark man, suave ly. 'Yon be - - !" cried Cllthoroo, as tho spring j li Kli'd to his pressure. "Great Sc-tt!" Lily sliH-'kcd, the stranger still smiled as the captain stood gazing, horror -struck, at nn adorable set of pearly teeth! "I you then " The dark man came to the rescue with his maddeningly smooth voice. "You did not know? I am Mr. Grin der, of the firm of Molar & Grinder. Some years ago I was staying at Men tone, ami there I made tlie acquaint ance of madam and her uncle. Madam, who vns tit that time, of course, n very young lady, had the misfortune, while riding, to meet with a very bud accident, In which her oh dental or ganization was fatally Injured. I had tbe pleasure of coming to the rescue In my professional capacity, and since then h.;v always lven honored with madam's confidence. "I was forced to pnss through Lon don, and ngrtK'd with madam, that the opportunity would be a goixl one to ensure her against any mishap by providing her with another oh an other set of pearls. Madam Is a little disturbed, and If you will allow me, I will withdraw. I have some telegrams to attend to. Tray consult your own convenience In every way;" and, still smiling, suave nnd Irreproachable, the Junior partner of Molar & Grinder withdrew. Flue Drtui-tlve Work. "One of the best pieces of detective work I ever saw," said James C. Sut ter, of San Francisco, "was done by a private detective of little or no repu tation at tho tlmo In our city. A swell restaurant was completely demoraliz ed by a series of petty thefts. Its plated ware, which hail to be of a high quality, was stolen frtHdy, and It fre quently happened that tho pockets of overcoats ou the racks were pilfered. The proprietor, recognizing that his living was at stake, offered an ex cessively large reward for the detec tion of the thief, and tho detective I refer to undertook tho Job. Ho plan ned out a series of mirrors, reversing the dodge of the dime museum man who makes a portrait of a llgure in visible, and so planning the glasses that he could overlook the entire room while seated at a little table lu the far corner. His planning Involved some little expense and seemed so far-fetched that he had some difficulty In it suading the proprietor to adopt the idea. He had his own way at last and then, when everything was ready, he arranged to have a little more silver ware than usual scattered around and made bis observations. He caught three meu on the first day, but rightly supposing the work was la-lng doue by a gang, who were doubtless operating other houses, be had the three shad owed and continued his observation the following day. He finally cap tured seven, and traced their opera tions to nearly every hotel aud res taurant In the city. He has never made public the exact secret of his angles In the looking-glasses, but has popularized himself so much among tiie hotel fraternity that lie has never lacked for work, and has got iu the way of refusing Jobs lu other line.

In the seventeenth century Dr. Jirtin Llghtfoot, vlcft-rhancellor of the I'nl versify of Cambridge, the great raft binlcal schol&r of his time, attempted to rccouulle the two accounts lu Gen esis by saying that of the "clmn sort of beasts there were seven of every kind created, throe couples for lim-d-Ing and the odd on for Adam's sacri fice ou his fall, which God foresaw;" thai of unclean biits only one couple was created; and finally, that "heaven unl earth, centre aud circumference, were created togi"ther, In the sjine l:i s'ant, and clouds full of water." and Unit "this took place aud man was created by the Trinity on OetolsT -li Hit B.
