Wo had no kith nor Wn but one another, so can the world wonder that wo were all in nil to each other? My mother's fare, although the Bweetest mid gentlest of faces, wm always sad, even gloomy at times. SI19 always wore the deeposf of mourning for my father, although I conld newt get lior to mention him. And after sev eral inquiries I ceneed to trouble, her. for such a look of pain nnd agony would come over tho dear features at the men tion of Robert Rndcliff. The only jew elry she ever wore consisted of two rings, a plain gold wedding ring and a beautiful opal set in n heavy band of gold. Through Asia, Europe. Auiericu, and even to Africa nnd Australia, wo had made our way. And whenever in n crowd or conversing with a stranger I uld notice my mother looking at her k pal ring, which she wore on Hie third finger of tho right hand. One summer we hail wandered through Russia, had spout some tiino on the Rhine, nnd finally brought up in a-littlo town .tinting the mountains (if Switzer land. Hero my mother was taken ill ith a general decline of the heart, as the village doctor called it. 1 was very much frightened and wanted to tele graph tor a celoorate.il man lroni runs, but sho soi ill. "No, Carl, do nothing whatsoever. My time has come, and 1 must have yon- to "myself for tho few hours left me." I would not Vjelievo it. It did not seem possible that God could take her troni me. Mother," I wiid, controlling my emo. Hons for fear of making hor worse, 'you imagine that you are much worse than yon are. Yon nre looking better than l have scon you tor some time. Vonr cheeks are bright red." Ah, what n fool 1 was! Death's very ign I took to be tho line of returning health. Carl, I havo no time to waste in use less words,' sho uaid. "(Jome and sit by inv side and learn why your mothers sad face has darkened your young life No. do not interrupt, my boy. I know how much you think of your mother Sixteen years ago, when you were i child of 4, wo lived in a beautiful coun try home in the north of Ireland, Your father was of that country, you know I did not know, for she had never told me anything about him; but I did not interrupt, and she coivtinucdt "Well, one night I waited and waited for Robert to return.

Her face was ghastly, ai4 although shakiug in every limb I managed tQ give her some drops tho doctor had left so that sho was able to continue. "I can not tell yon more of that dreadful time except that thero never was the slight est clew to the assassin, Wo never knew that he had an enemy in the world. It was not robbery, for his watch nnd a large amount of money wero not touched. You will find papers telling you all of that. My part is what I wish to tell you now. I lived with you nlono in the old homo for ono year, One night 1 fell asleep in a chair by tho hearth, and had' tho strangest of dreams. I dreamt a voice said to me: . " 'Take thy child and the opal ring and travel the world over, and when thou dost find thy opal tuniest n blood red then thou willst ba in the presence of thine enemy and thine husband's murderer. "When I awoke I pondored on it for a while, but came to the conclusion that it was the result of it fevered brain. The next night -I hud tire Rime dream, and again the next. I then took it as my missiou in life to find the man who had foully killed my Robert. I awoke from my apathy, sold the- place, and takiug you with tue started on my pilgrimage. You know the result. Never hat my ring changed color. Now, Carl, 1 am dying, and into your liands I consign this ring.'and I aiikou by the memory of your murdered father to iind the per son and bring his crime home to him." Saying this she placed the opal, with Us fine red lines, upon my finger, and then lay imck exhausted, "I promise, mother, never w give up tile searf n wmie mere is orenui in 1111 body," I said, intending to find the s safcbin by uiotlcrn means instead of super- atitious, bat I would not puin her by doubting her dream. Three days alio lingered, during which time bhe told me of her financial stand ing, and that she did not know of iv rela tive in the world, The third night she passed wny, leaving me alone in the ,urtil with :i tHrrihlM void in mv life and an unutterable grief. I saw her! buried in the little Swiss burial grouud, aud tbeii returned to the inn aud looked i iny future in the faoe. I liud JCW.OOO, I o friends slid a veritable vendetta. A week later 1 stitel for Paris, stated my tronUe, and had the best detectives to I wok np a IwpeWss case. In Loudon I 1 did tho sauie, and then croKscd the ocean ( and followed the same course in N-w York. TUe opal ring I wore, but seldom looked at it. I made wveral pleasaut traveling ncrjuaintances, and hnd rt uum ber of invitations to visit in Washing ton. Baltimore and other cities in the States. I- refuged them nil, and went west to San Francisco, staying there un-, til .Tan. 1, when I returned to Washing ton, where I run ftcross.one of my trav eling friends, ltiy Carrington. I refused nil overtures to go into so ciety or to visit Carrington, but when 1 Was taken ill Hnd threatened wtth pneu monia my friend had me removed, against my wishes, to his home, where a tall, stately lady smiled graciously upon me, mid where I had all tho care and devotion possible during n serious illness. This lady, who was Ray's mother, was an angel of mercy to me, a homeless wanderer. One day I Was ly ing on tl sofa deluged with shawls, wraps, etc.,' rending my correspondence from the foreign police- office. Nothing had really been done, although a man had been sent to Ireland. So many years had passed they oould hold out llt tie hone to me. A rilp nt th0 door, hnd "May '1 come inr frotirKay. "Of eotUM," I frpllml. "Why do you "Because I have brought you n vist tor," he snttl, run he entered with htrflrin around a bKiutifitl ybtmg girl, whom he introduced ns his sister Lilian I told her alio was very kind to visit an invalid, nnd wondered wlmt they would think if they knew I was hunting down a murderer of sixteen years ago. Many happy days passed m spite of ill liess and vendettas. They insisted upon keeping me for a ball in honor of Lilian's twentieth birthday. I found resistance useless, so yielded with ns good grace as possible, although I know such gayeties were not for me, and my mother's death was too recent not to destroy any desire for such pleasures. However I btaid, sind on tho ovoning of the ball arrayed myself in my dress suit and descended to tho ballroom which was beautifully decnratejl with tropical plants mid lovely ferns. Lilian was receiving her guests by her mother's side. Sho was dressed in a gown of sil very fabric, which made her look moro than ever like the beautiful fairy she was. I easily miuglod unnoticed in the crowd As I K!iz"1 on fb f- brilliant scene 1 wondered what i... Joar mother was thinking m sho -loi ked down from her home on high. I thought of the little grave in tho far away country, of the vendetta, left mo ns n legacy. Ray broke in upon my meditations, and finding il impossible to persuade me to dance said: "Well, do take Miss Van Dyke into sup per and relieve me I Complied, and upon entering the supper room removed ouo glove, as my hand was wariu. Upon doing so 1 glanced at tho opal ring, and to my hor ror noticed that it had uecomo a ulood red. What could it mean? I glanced around the room und noticed only a doz en people, but these brilliant society people of Washington. What had they to do with my opal turning red? I must be mistaken. Noj it was a. deep blood red. I noticejl-Uiiy's uncle among the crowd a tall, tlarU man, conversing with alady; and I mechanically watched him leave the room, then glanced at mj ring and, great heavens! my blood hewn ed'tnrniu': to ico, for tho ring had re sumed its original color. I escorted Miss Van Dyko back to the ballroom and delivered her to ;v partner.1 Then 1 sought an introduction to Ray's uncle. "Mr. Rndcliff," he exclaimed, and I saw him start, "whero was your home, if 1 may ask?" "In tho north of Ireland," 1 replied, "and my fitther was Robert Radcliff." I noticed my ring had again become red, which fact dispelled all doubt from my mind. Notwithstanding how rjdicnlous it seemed, I continued. "Mr. Carrington, I would like a few words with you privately." "Not to-night," luvstnmnicrod, "but to-morrow at 10 n. m." "Very well," 1 replied, and then sought tho smo'cing room to be ablo to think, Lilian s uncle. She to whom my heart had gono out wiu the nieco of tho murderer of my father, for I had faith that I had found the man. I retired that night to get littlo or no sleep, to wonder what 1 should sny nnd do to Howard Carrmgton. and what mo tive lie could havo had for such n deed. Tho next morning I called at his resi dence promptly at 10 o'clock, and was told that tho gontlainan was not yet up, had not answered when ho was called. and must bo very tired. A horrible sus picion came over mo, and I told tho man to come with me, for wo must break in the door.. We easily did so, nnd there, with hi head on his arm, leaning on his desk, was Carrington. Then to our horror we miw a stream of blood on the floor nnd a revolver near it. We went to him and found him dead. Tho bullet had done it deadly work. On tho desk lay an en velope addressed to Carl R, Radcliff. 1 opened it mid read) "Mr. Radcliff You have tracked me at lust. How I cannot imagine, for 1 never supposed there was a tingle clew.

St. Louis Republic, Cactus mid Camel. Tho cactuses aro very peculiar plants ns peculiar structurally as they are bizarre aud grotesque in outer appear ance. Thoy have spared no pains and shrunk from nosaorificoin accommodat ing thomselvcs to their uicho in nature. In the first place, they havo no true leaves. What look like leaves in certain joiirved cactuses aro really flattened aud extended steins. If this seems at first hearing a hard saying tho analogy of tho common stonecrops, whore stem and leaf are hardly distinguishable, will hell to inako it a little less incredible. In other ways, too, tho stonecrop3 (or se dnms, ns the gardeners call them) throw much light upon the nature of the cac tuses. All thoso rook haunting or desert plants naturally get very littlo water except.at long intervals nfter occasional showers, Hence only thoso can survive which' form themselves, as it were, into living reser voirs to retain all tho moisture they onc absorb. As soon as, thpraili falls in their arid haunts tho roots, and rootlets eager ly drink it up in a groat hurry and stove it away in tho soft and spongy cellulm tissue of which the main part of tin plant is wholly formed. For this pur poso, both in stonccrops and cactuses tho stems have- become floshy nnd'succii lent, and being also green and loailiki thoy closely resemble tnto leaves, Bnl they aro covered externally with a thick skin, which resists evaporation and kecp the moisturo, onco colloutcd, at tin plant's disposal for an unlimited period In short, the cactus does ns n plant n what acamel does as an animal.
