6 HOUSE WE USED TO LIVE IN. The house we used to live In looks at us So wistfully as we so driving by; The wind that makes its near tree mur murous Files swiftly after with entreating sigh. Come back! come back! we hear it low Implore. lAtt up the grass-choked gate, the earth stained door. And enter in your childhood's home once more. Ah. no! let us make* merry with light speech Of newer days and push the past aside. Close to that door the baby used to reach The knob and play with it—before he died ; He used to sleep on the broad window-sill, A sunbeam in his curls—no, not that hill— This level road. Drive fast—oh, faster still. How small it was! Before the birds are grown They lie so warmly in one tiny nest; But all the world is theirs when they have flown, And foreign roofs replace the mother's breast. Ah, well—God careth. See, before us now The ampler home beneath a lofty bough. Lift up the saddened heart and clear the brow. For In that empty nest beyond the hill Are blessed shadows at Immortal ease; The sun-crowned baby on the window-sill, The happy children underneath the trees-. Old liouie, look not so piteous. Thou art Of larger lives the very sweetest part; The first love of the unforgettlng heart. —Bthelwyn Wetherald, In Youth's Com panion. My Strangest Case BY GUY BOOTHBY.

"I will mention no tiames, but doubtless you can read between the lines. There was a man who murdered his wife in order that he might marry another woman. The thought which he gave to it, and the clever manner in which he laid his plans, not only for the murder but also for the disposal of the body, marked him as a criminal in the pos ■session of a singularly brilliant in tellect. He gave no hint to anybody, 'but left the country without leaving the faintest clew concerning his destination behind him. 1 was called into talk over the case, but after lome consideration could make noth ing of it.l have no objection to ad mitting that I was completely baf fled. Now it so happened that I dis covered that the man's mother was of Irish extraction. He, believing that he would be safe on that island, engaged a passage on board a steam er from Havre to Belfast. She was to pick up at Southampton, Ply mouth and Bristol, en route. My man, who, by the way, was a very presentable person, and could be dis tinctly sociable when he pleased, en deavored to make himself agreeable to the passengers on board. On the ■first evening out of port, the con versation turned upon the value of diamonds, and one of the ladies on board produced some costly stones she happened to have in her posses sion. The murderer, who, you must understand, was quite safe, was un happily eaten up with vanity. He ■could not forego the boast that he was the possessor of a magnificent ring, which had been given him by ex-Emperor Napoleon 111. Need less to say this information excited considerable interest, and he was asked to produce it for the general edification. "He declared that it was too late to do so that evening', but said that he would do so on the morrow, or, at any rate, before lie left the vessel. In the excitement of reaching 1 South ampton, the matter was for the mo ment forgotten, but on the day that they arrived in Plymouth one of the lady passengers reminded him of his promise. This was followed by an other application. Thus surrounded, ■the unhappy man found himself in the unpleasant position of being dis covered in the perpetration of an un truth, or of being compelled to in vent some feasible tale in order to account for his not being able to pro duce the ring. It was at this junc ture that he made his great mistake. Anxious doubtless to attract atten tion, he returned from his cabin with the astounding declaration that the lock had been forced, and the famous ring stolen from his trunk in which it hail lain concealed. He certainly aced his part well, but he did not realize to what consequence it would lead. The matter was reported to the police, and a search was made through the vessel. The passengers were naturally indignant at such treatment, and for the rest of the ■voyage the man found himself tak ing what you English call 'the cold ahoulder.' He reached Belfast, made his way into the country, and pres ently settled do\vn. Later on, when the pursuit had died down, it was his Intention to ship for America, where he was to be joined by the woman, to obtain whom he had in the first place committed the crime. Now ob serve the result. Photographs of the missing man and of the. murdered ■woman were circulated all through France, while not a few were sent to Kugland. One of these pictures reached Plymouth, where it was <aliuwn to the oflicer who had investi gated the case on the boat on its way to Ireland. He immediately recognized the man who had made the etiarge against his fellow-passen gers. After that it was easy to trace him to lielfast and his hiding-place •n land. Extradition was of course (ranted, and he left the place. Had ■e uot imagined that in his safety ho could indulge his vanities, I confi dently believe I should never have iwMUU LULU.

' 1 agreed with him, and then sug gested that we should amuse our selves by endeavoring to find out how the dinner at the Cafe dea Am bassadeurs was progressing. "They will proceed to a theater afterwards, you may be sure," my companion said. "In that case if you like we could catch a glimpse of them as they come out. What do you say?" j answered that I had not the least objection. "One night does not make much difference. To-morrow morning I shall make a point of meeting him face to face." "Should you require any assist ance then, I shall be most pleased to give it to you," my companion re plied. I thanked him for his offer, and then we left the restaurant together, hailed a cab, and drove to his flat. It consisted of four rooms situated at the top of a lofty block of build ings near the river. From his win dows he could look out over Paris, and he was wont to declare that the view he received in exchange was the most beautiful in the world. Fine as it was, I was scarcely so enthus iastic in my praise. Among other thing's they were re markable for the simplicity of their furniture, and also for the fact that in the sitting-room there was noth ing to reveal the occupation of their owner. Ifis clever old servant, Susanne, of whom 'twas said she would, did she but choose, make as clever a detective as her master (she had served him for more than 40 years), brought us coffee so quickly that it would almost seem as if she had been aware that we should reach the house at that particular moment. "We have plenty of time to spare," said my host. "In the meantime it will be necessary for us to find out what they are doing. If you will wait I will dispatch a messenger, who will procure us the informa tion.' lie wrote something on a half sheet of note-paper, rang the bell, and handed it to Susanne. "Give that to Leon," he said, "and tell him to be off with it at once." The woman disappeared, and when she had gone we resumed our con versation. Had he not had the good fortune to be suah a great success in his own profession, what an admir able actor the man would have made! His power of facial contortion was extraordinary, and I believe that on demand he could have imitated al most any face that struck his fancy. "And now with regard to our lit tle excursion," he said. "What would you like to be? As you are aware, I can offer you a varied selection. Will you be a workman, a peddler, an elderly gentleman from the prov inces, or a street beggar?" "I think the elderly gentleman from the provinces would suit me best," I answered, "while it will not necessitate a change of dress." "Very good, then, so it shall be," he replied. "We'll be a couple of elderly gentlemen in Paris for the » » n TO MY OVERWHELMING SURPRISE NO LESS A PERSON THAN GIDEON HAYLE ENTERED THE ROOM. first time. Let me conduct you to my dressing-room, where you will find nil that is necessary for your make-up." He thereupon showed me to a room leading out of that in which we had hitherto been sitting. It was very small, and lighted by means of a skylight. Indeed, it was that very skylight, so he always declared, that induced him to take the flat. "If this room looked out over the back, or front, it would have been necessary for me either to have cur tains, which I abominate, or to run the risk of being observed, which would have been far worse," he had remarked to me once. "Needless to say there are times when I find it most necessary that my preparations should not be suspected." Taken altogether, it was a room that had a strange fascination for me. I had been in it many times be fore, but was always able to discov er something new in it. It was a conglomeration of cupboards and shelves. A large variety of costumes hung upon the pegs in the walls, ranging from soldier's uniforms to beggar's rags. There were wigs of all sorts and descriptions on blocks, pads of every possible order and for every part of the body, humps for hunchbacks, wooden legs, boots rang ing from the patent leather of the dandy to the toeless foot-covering of the beggar. There were hats in abundance, from the spotless silk to the most miserable head coverings, some of which looked as if they had o«*cn picked up from the rubbish ueity. lite»'• »«)• pctltUei.

In fact there was no say ing what there was not there. Every thing that was calculated to be use ful to him in his profession was to be found in the room. For my own part 1 am not fond of disguises. Indeed on only two or three occasions, during the whole course of my professional career, have I found it necessary to conceal my identity. Hut to this wily little Frenchman disguise was, as often as not, a common occurrence. Half an hour later, two respect able elderly gentlemen, looking more like professors from some_ eminent Lycee than detectives, left the house and proceeded in the direction of the Folly theater. The performance was almost at an end when we reached it, and we mingled with the crowd who Had assembled to watcli the audience come out. The inquiries we had made proved to be correct, and it was not very long before I saw the man 1 wanted emerge, ac companied by a female, who could be no other than Mine. Beaumara is. Hayle was in immaculate evening dress, anil, as I could not but admit, presented a handsome figure to the world. A neat little brougham drew up beside the pavement in its turn, and into this they stepped. Then the door was closed upon them, and the carriage drove away. "That's mv man," I said to my companion, as we watched it pass out of sight. "To-morrow morning I shall pay him a little visit. I think you were quite right in what you said about the money. That woman must have made a fairly big hole in it already." "You may be quite sure of that," he answered. "When she has finished with him there will not be much left for anybody else." "And now to get these things off and then home to bed. To-morrow will in all probability prove an ex citing day." I accompanied him to his room and removed the disguise which had en abled me to see Ilayle without his being aware of my identity, and then, bidding my friend good night, returned to my abode. Before I went to bed, however, I sat down and wrote a report of my doings for Miss Kitwater. Little as I had to tell, the writing of this letter gave me considerable pleasure. I could imagine it coming like a breath from another world to that quiet house at Bishopstowe. I pictured the girl's face as she read it, and the strained attention of the two men, who, need less to say, would hang on every word. When I had finished it I went to bed, to dream that Gideon Ilayle and I were swimming a race in the Seine for five gigantic rubies which were to be presented to the winner by Miss Kitwater. Next morning I arose early, went for a stroll along the boulevards, and returned to breakfast at eight o'clock. In the matter of my break fasts in Paris, I am essentially Eng lish. I must begin the day with a good meal, or I am fit for nothing. On this particular occasion I sat down on the best terms with myself and the world in general. I made an excellent meal, did the best I could with the morning paper, but my French is certainly not above re proach, and then wondered when I should set out to interview the man whose flight from England had proved the reason of my visiting Paris. Then the door opened and the concierge entered with the words: "A gentleman to see monsieur!" Next moment, to my overwhelming surprise, no less a person than Gid eon Ilayle entered the room. CHAPTER IX. At the moment that I saw Ilayle enter my room, you might, as the saying goes, have knocked me down with a feather. Of all that could possibly have happened, this was surely the most unexpected! The man had endeavored to get me out of his way in London, he had played all sorts of tricks upon me in order to put me off the scent, he had bolt ed from England because he knew I was searching for him, yet here he was deliberately seeking me out, and of his own free will putting his head into the lion's mouth. It was as astonishing as it was inexplicable. "Good morning, Mr. Fairfax," he said, bowing most politely to me as he spoke. "I hope you will forgive this early call. I only discovered your address an hour ago, and, as I did not wish to run the risk of losing you, I came on at once." "You appeared to be fairly desir ous of doing so last week," I said. "What has occurred to make you change your mind so suddenly?" "A variety of circumstances have conspired to bring such a result about," he answered. "I have been thinking the matter over, and not being able to determine the benefit of this hole-and-corner sort of game, I have made up my mind to settle it once and fAr all." "I am glad you have come to that way of thinking," I said. "It will save us both an infinity of trouble. You understand, of course, that I rep resent Messrs. Kitwater and Codd." "1 am well aware of it,"he replied, "and in common fairness to myself, I can only say that I am sorry to hpar it." "May I ask why you are sorry?" "Because you have the honor to represent the biggest pair of gcoun drels unhung," he answered. "And in saying this I pledge you my *.vord that 1 am by no means overstepping the mark. 1 have known them both for a great many years, and can, Uiciviutc, iiuiu CJk^ci'iuucb.' 1 Hefore going further with him I *vas desirous of convincing myself upon th« point. "You knew them, then, when they were missionaries in China, I sup pose?" "That's the first time I have ever hward what they were," he replied. "Kitwater a missionary! You must forgive my laughing, but the idea is too ludicrous. I'll admit he's done a considerable amount of converting, but it has been converting other peo ple's money into his own pockets." lie laughed at his own bad joke, and almost instantly grew serious once more. He was quite at his ease, and, thqugb he must have known that I Was familiar with the story, or supposed story, of his vil lainy, seemed in 110 way ashamed. "Now, Mr. Fairfax," he went on, "I know that you are surprised to see me this morning, but I don't think you will be when we have had a little talk together. First and fore most, you have been told the story of the stones I possess?" "I have heard Mr. Kitwater's ver sion of it," I answered, cautiously. "I know that you robbed my clients of them and then disappeared!" 'I did not rob them of the stones," he said, not in the least offended by the bluntness of my speech. "It is plain that you do not know how wo obtained them. Perhaps it's as well that you should not, for there's more behind, and you'd go and get them. No! We obtained them honestly enough at a certain place, and I was appointed to carry them. For this reason I secured them in a belt about my waist. That night the Chi nese came down upon us and made us prisoners. They murdered our two native servants, blinded Kit water, and cut out Codd's tongue. I alone managed to effect my escape. Leaving my two companions for dead, I managed to get away into the jungle. Good heavens! man, you can't imagine what I suffered after that." I looked at him and saw that his face had grown pale at the mere recollection of his experiences. [To Be Continued.] A HAREM-SCARUM TIME. All-Soillolent Experience of n Oer m 1111 DucheNN Inn Family Circle of Tunlaiiin l.ailieN. Ladies contemplating a visit to the Barbary States would do well to in form themselves by reading a recent book, "Tunisia and the Modern Bar bary Pirates," by Herbert Vivian, M. A., to which Mrs. Vivian has contrib uted a chapter describing those seclud ed parts of oriental dwellings which no masculine visitor is permitted to en ter, and the etiquette prevailing there. In a harem, as in occidental centers of femininity, the costume of a lady visitor is a Source of interest and curi osity. When Mrs. Vivian paid calls the whole family would gather round and pluck at her things, but on the whole she came off very well, the Tunisian la dies contenting themselves with pok ing and patting her gently and discus sing her raiment—cost, cut and cloror —with each other. So exalted a personnge as the duch ess of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was less fortunate. The gentleman who ar ranged for the duchess' visit to the ha rem of an old Arabian friend said to the man: "The lady who is coming to see you is the daughter of the emperor of all the Russias, and has married the son of the English queen." The old man was too polite to show incredulty; but when he saw a little lady dressed in ordinary English clothes, he was quite convinced that he had been hoaxed. "A great princess," he said to him self, "could not possibly go about ex cept attended by a larger suite and at tired in brocade or cloth of gold." The ladies of his household were ap parently of the same opinion, for the duchess came out of the house terri bly disheveled; they had pulled her hair about, taken the combs out to look at them; tugged at her dress to see how strong the material was, and even attempted to undo it to see what she wore beneath. The duchess was immensely amused. "But," she declared, "now that I have seen one harem, I am quite satisfied, and have no desire ever to visit an other." When Eiulurnnce Rebelled. An Irish friend insisted that a Scotchman should stay at his house in stead of a hotel, and kept hiin there for a month, playing the host in detail, even to treating him to all places of amusement, paying all the cab fares and the rest.

Amnesty Killct will bo Proclaimed In the Philippine* In Cane Civil Govern ment Hill l» a I.li\v by that Time. Washington, June 28.—At the meet ing of the cabinet Friday the terms of an amnesty proclamation to the Filipinos, which it is contemplated to issue on the Fourth of July, were agreed upon. The war department for some time past has hail under con sideration the draft of a proclama tion and has found it necessary to make a number of changes in" its text. In its modified state it was agreed to by the cabinet, and .Secre tary Root will cable it to Acting Gov ernor Wright for his inspection. If it meets the latter's approval nothing will remain but for the president, if the 'Philippine civil government bill is a law on that day, as is now ex pected it will be, to issue on Indepen dence Day a formal proclamation setting forth terms of amnesty for all political offenders in the islands, including Aguinaldo and those held at Guam. The proclamation is based 011 the general objects of the Philippine gov ernment bill, namely, to restore peace in the archipelago and substitute a civil for a military administraton. '1 hat bill is now in conference anil the proclamation will not be issued until the' Philippine government measure has been agreed upon by both houses and the president has atlixed bis sig nature to it. The proclamation will declare that a state of peace now exists in the Philippine islands, save in the parts of the archipelago where the .Min danao or Pagan tribes are giving the United States a great amount of trou ble, and will declare in effect that with the transfer of the government of the archipelago from a military to a civil status all those arrested and held for political offenses shall be re stored to liberty, granted full am nesty, and allowed to participate in the civil government that is to be in augurated on the islands. There is no intention, it is stated, to release those prisoners convicted of other than political offenses, the benefits of the amnesty being limited to those in custody as a result of breaches of military law, leaving criminal offenders to the action of the proper authorities, under the coming civil government. The pur pose is to demonstrate that motives of humanity and generosity dictate our course toward the Filipinos. When the islands are turned over to the civil authorities they will not be lfl't without adequate military pro tection. as no more troops will be ordered home for the present, and every precaution will be taken for the military safeguarding of the islands under the new civil administration. The cabinet meeting was held in the president's temporary quarters on Lafayette Square and was the first time in SS years that a regular ses sion of the cabinet had been held out side the White House. TRADE REVIEW. An IniTcaiird Activity Hrportctl 111 All tlie Tlniiulaeturliii: lndiiKtrloH, New York, June 28. —R. <•. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Foreign markets were badly disar ranged by the sudden illness of the king. Domestic financial conditions are exceptionally satisfactory and trade is well maintained, although low temperature interfered with the distribution of midsummer special ties. Manufacturing operations have increased in activity, especially in the iron and steel industry and textile production, while the constructive work on new buildings and bridges is very heavy. Labor difficulties have not improved in the anthracite coal region, but numerous settlements have been effected elsewhere. Most of the blast furnaces that were stopped by the scarcity of an thracite coal have resumed with coke, of which the ovens have established new records of output, and shipments have been still larger, owing to the stocks accumulated during the car shortage. Despite the vigorous pig iron production, numerous contracts have been placed abroad, and still the machine shops, manufacturers of stoves and implements, and consum ers generally are seeking deliveries. Eastern manufacturers of footwear report a larger volume of contracts. There is still some conservatism re garding the future of this industry. More activity occurred in cotton goods, although at some concessions in prices. Woolen goods have been taken more freely, especially the bet ter qualities, and clothing manufac turers are preparing for a large fall trade. Raw wool is in better request at eastern markets, but the new clip is held at a premium that limits trade. Agricultural prospects are far above the average, and rapid progress is made with winter wheat harvesting. Delays have been encountered from heavy rain, while injury has occurred in the southwest from drouth, but these adverse influences are less ex tensive than usual.

I'ittsburg, June 28. —The largest voluntary increase ever known in I ho wages of 100,000 men has been decid ed upon by the .United States Steel Corporation. They will receive an ad vance of 10 per cent., which will in crease the annual pay roll of the steel corporation by $4,000,000. The advance applies to union as well as non-union men. Strictly speaking, the advance applies to non-tonnage men of every constituent company of the corporation. This decision has just been reached by the executive committee of the United States Steel Corporation after numerous conferences with the high est officials of the underlying con cerns. The first men to profit by the increase were those of the Carnegie Steel Co. who were not already work ing under a private scale. The next advance will come to the employes of American Steel and Wire plants. In the Pittsburg district something like UO,OOO men will be entitled to the increase. Chief among tliem will be the blast furnace workers, ail day men, laborers and machinists. The wages of the blast furnace workers and day men of the Kdgar Thompson and Homstead steel work ers and all furnaces operated by the Carnegie Steel Co. were advanced without notice. Workmen working under a private scale will be debarred from the ad vance, as well as coal miners, coke workers, rod men and tube workers. It is estimated that out of the total number of employes of the corpora tion, one-third of them are paid or. the tonnage basis. It is expected that the largest independent steel and iron producers of the country will grant their laborers, machinists and »iast furnace workers a similar ad vance. JUDGE LONG DIES. A Fainou* .711cliIgaii Jurist* Cronnra tlx* (.ri al Divide. Detroit, 'Mich., June 28.—Justice of the State Supreme Court Charles D. Long died here Friday after a long illness. Justice Long was born at Grand Blanc, Mich., June 14, 1841. lie was about to enter college when the civil war broke out and he enlisted as a private in the Eighth Michigan infan try. In the battle of Wilmington Island, Cia., April 16, ISG2, hardly eight months after his enlistment, he received two severe wounds, both of which rendered him an invalid for life. A shot shattered his left arm, which had to he amputated above the elbow. A bullet at nearly the same time struck and pierced his hip. This bullet it proved impossible to remove, and to the hour of his death this never-healing wound, which had to be dressed every day, caused him untold suffering. He returned to his home and studied law. In 1887 he was elected to the supreme bench and was re elected in 1897 for a second term of ten years, lie was prominent in U. A. 11. circles. Judge Long was well known by rea son of his suit against Pension Com missioner Lochren, which he carried to the United States supreme court, to compel him to restore his pension to $72 per month. It had been re duced on the ground that Judge Long was not totally disabled. itlob Killed a .nimilonary.
