From mv earliest recollection we had
traveled, tnivoled the world over, it
seethed, my mother and I. 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. He bad gone to the neighbor
ing village to buy new carri ige horses
The wind blew a gale, and tho rain fell
in torrents. I walked tho floor in an
agony of fear till 13 o'clock, thou called
ii faithful old servant and tolu; firm to
harness and to go with mo to look for
his master. Ho thought me crazy, but
did as I told him. Put another pillow
under my head, Carl. There, now I can
breathe easier,
We found him, my sonj found him
all hloody and beaten to death. Foully
murdered !'
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.

A Winged Lllard.
One of the strongest of the mnny

Tkeso are the wings, which are formed
by a cutaneous flap, winglike in shape,
supported by a series of false ribs. In

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

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

they aro covered externally with a thick

Descending to Hie first floor the locked
doors on tho right of the parlor open
upon the privato suite of apartments
oooupled by the insane'Chtcago million
aire 13. .T. Lehman. Mr. Lehman was
and is still the proprietor of tint biggest
retail dry goods store in Chicago
Mr. Lehman Is siuTeruiKlrniu a form
of paresis, aud although he is but 43
years old there is not the slightest hope
of his recovery. He lives like n king in
his apartments, and bis family pay for
the luxuries with royal liberality.
Ho has three apartments, which occu
py all tho right side of the house-ou the
lower floor. For .these rooms and board
alone he pays $180 a veok. Then he line
threo special attendants who keep with
him night and Tii These cost $4Ji a
weak Additional.
Ho keens his hrJiXeB ami tnrrintre nnd
Hue otit once a tiny. One of the attend
ants does the driving, while the other
two sit on either side of him. For tho
many other luxuries ho enjoys Mr. Leh
man pays out in all f-100 a week. Ho
ays more than any other inmate nf the
asylum.
While at times he is quiet and pleas
ant Mr. Lehman is ono of the wildest
men in the asyhim whou an insane fit
strikes him. It is because of this that
it is necessary to keep threo attendants
watching him. Ho has smashed thou
sands ot dollars' worth of furniturosiilco
his incarceration. Heis a tall, athletic
ally built man, and is possessed of enor
mous strength when ho beoomos wild.
Although his threo attendants are all
trained athlotcs they have great difficulty
ill holding him at timos.
While ho sleeps in one of the small
ooms an attendant sits nt his bedside
and watches all night, while tho other
two sleep In the large room a few feet
distant.
In addition to the usual iron gratings
on the windows several strong bars have
been placed. Soveral times a week the
Chicago millionaire tries to break out of
tho rooms. Ho has almost wrenched the
ron gratings fro.m their places, and on
ono occasion almost succeeded in climb
ing up tho wall to the glass transom
abovo tho top of tho door nnd breaking
through. To guard against a repetition
of this tho glass has been removed and
wooden boards have been nailed In its
placo. '
About once a month Mr. Lehman's
wifo couios on from Chicago to seo hei
husband. SonieUmos sho brings ono o!
her four children with her. Sho is noi
permitted to speak to him or allow him
to seo her.
While sho stands in ono part of the
grounds ho is driven past her in his car
riage, and in this way sho is enabled to
catch a brief glimpo of his face.
In his rational moments Mr. Lehman
talks to his attendants about his wifo
and children. Ho says that ho has the
sweetest family in the world and that
they ail lovo bun.
In his parlor Mr. Lohman lias a hand-
sonlely carved organ, Ho h Very fond
of musio and Is a musician of no insig
nilicnnt skill. He plays upon tho orgm
at times half tho day and completely en
chants tho other inmates of the house.-
