Mrs. Sidebottom had reached Lucerne very rumpled ana dirty and out of temper, having traveled all night lrsm Brussels, and having had to turn out and have her boxes examined atThionvilleand Basle. She had scrambled through a wretched breakfast off cold coffee r,A n -t strasbnig at 4 o'clock in the morn- ire and then had bteu condemned to crawl alone hy a slow train from Strasburg to Basle, J and bv another, sail -slower, irom nasie rotiu cerncr A nigbw in r comfortable hotel badre stored her wonderfully; and when she took her place under the r ic; in the lake steamer, tilth a ticket in ve for Fluelen, which sue insisted on calling Flew-ellen, she was in a contented mood, and inclined to patronize the scenery. The day was lovely, the water blue, Pilatus without his cap, and the distant Oberland peaks seen above the Brunig Pass were silver against a turquoise sky. "This," said Mrs. Siaebottom, dipping into "Murray's Handbook,"to ascertain what it was proper to say.'this is distinguished above every lake in Switzerland, and perhaps in Europe, by the beauty ana sublime grandeur of its fccenery." Then past her diifted a party of English tourists, also with ".Murray" in tbeir hands and on their lips. "Oh, mammal" exclaimed a young lady, "this lake is of very irregular shape, assuming near its west extremity the form of a cross. Da you sec? There is one arm. we are approaching another, and there is the leg." "My dear," said her mother, "don't say leg; it is improper: say stem." And, mamma, how true "Murray" is is it not wonderful! He says that at this part the shores of the lake are undulating hills clothed with vendare, and dotted with houses and Villas. He reall must have seen the place to describe It so accurately." "Good gracious!" exclaimed Mrs. Sidebot tom; and then, after a pause, 'Gracious good ness!" Lambert Pennycomequick took no notice of his mother's exclamations, till a third "gra cious goodness,"escaping her like the discharge of a minute gun at sea, called his attention to her. and he asked: "Well, what is it?" As he received no answer, he said: "I don't believe in that honey served up at breakfast. It is not honey at all. but syrup in which stewed peas have soaked." Uoon my word!" gasped Mrs, Sidebottom. "What is the matter, mother? Oh, ,yes, lovely scenery. By George, so it is. I believe It is a hoax about chamois. I have been told that they knock goats on the head, and so the flesh is black, or rather dark colored, -and it is served as chamois, and charged accordingly' This is extraordinary!" exclaimed Mrs. Side bottom. "Yes first rate," said Lambert. "Our York shire wolds don't quite come up to the Alps, do they?" But Mrs. Sidebottom was not lost in wonder at the beauty of the landscape; she was watch ing intently a gentleman in a light suit, of a military cast, wearing a white hat and a pug garee, with mustache and carefully curled whiskers, who was marching the deck along side of another gentleman, stout, ordinary looking, and comfortable in appearance, like a plump bulfinch. "Look at my watch!" said the gentleman in the light suit, and as there were vacant places beside Mrs. Sidebottom. the two gentlemen left pacing the deck and Eeated themselves on the bench near he r. "Look at my watch! Turned black, positive ly black, as if I had kept it against a vulcanized india-rubber stomach-belt. If you want evi ' dence there it is. I haven't cleaned it. No, I keep it as a memorial to me to be thankf nl to DOMESTIC IAEKETS. Eggs Firm, Country Butter Easy, Creamery Active. HOME STRAWBERRIES IN DEMAKD.

Mrs. Sidebottom saw a silver watch-case ex tended to be exhibited, the dingy color that silver acquires when exposed to gas. "I wish, sir I beg your pardon, my lord you will excuse me, bnt by accident by the merest accident I caught sight of your address and name on your luggage I wish, my lord, I were going with you to Andermatt, and I would take you a promenade round the backs of the hotels, and let you smell smell, my lord as rich a bouquet of accumulated deleterious odors as could be gathered into one odors, my lord, dipthcereticaL typhoidiacal. You see mvface I have become mottled through blood-poisoning. I was gangrened at Andermatt by the deadly vapors there. I thank a merciful heaven, w ith my strong constitution and by the warning ifforded by my watch, I escaped death. I always carry about with me a silver timepiece, not one ot gold, for sanitary reasons the silver warns me of the presence in the atmosphere of sul phuretted hydrogen of sewage gas it blackens, as the arm of Lady Thingabob I forget her name, perhaps she was of your lord ship's family as the arm, the wrist of her lady ship, was blackened by the grip of a specter. I see that you are bound lor the Hotel du Grand Prince. I went there, and there I inaledthe vapors of death, or rather of disease, I moved to the Hotel Imperial, and was saved. There, and there only, the drainage is after English models, and there, and there only are you safe from the fumes of typhoid, the seeds of typhus, the corpuscules of diphtheria, and the the the what-d'ye-call-ems of cholera. You will excuse my speaking to you. perhaps, forcing myself unworthy on your distinguished self." "Oh, certainly, certainly." "But when I saw your name, my lord, and considered what you are, and what the country would lose were you to run the risk unfore warned that I ran, I ventured to thrust myself upon you." "I am really most obliged to you." "Well who is it said 'We are all one flesh, and so feel sympathy one with another?' Hav ing suffered, my lord, suffered so recently, and seeing you, my lord, you, you about but there not another word. Homo sum, nil hu manum but I forget the rest, it is long since I was at school, and I have not kept up my clas sics." "I really am most indebted to you and you think that the Hotel Imperial " "I am sure of it I had my blood tested, I had my breath analyzed. There were diatoms in one, and baccilli in the other, and lam alive, alive to say it; thanks to the salubrious air and the careful nursing of the Hotel Impe rial." The nobleman looked nearly as mottled in countenance as the other; this was caused by the alarm produced by the reveUtious of his interlocutor. "Don't you think," he said, "that I had bet ter avoid Andermatt?" 'On no account, my lord. You are safe at the Imperial. I cannot say that you will be safe elsewhere. I have been to Berne to the University professors to have the atmosphere of the several hotels analyzed for my own pri vate satisfaction. It was costly but what of that? It satisfied me. These are the results: Hotel du Cerf three decimal two of sulphur etted hydrogen, two decimal eight of malarious matter, one, no decimal, of typhoidal germ. Hotel de la Couronne d'Or three decimal one of sulphuretted hydrogen, five decimal three of compound fermenting putnfio bacteretic stuff.

"What about the Imperial?" "Nothing all salubrious, mountain air charged with ozone, and not a particle of de leterious matter in it." "I shall certainly go there most certainly. I had telegraphed to the Grand Prince; but never mind, I had rather pay a. forfeit and put up at the Imperial." "Would you mind, my lord, giving my card to the proprietor? It will insure you receiving every attention. I was there when ill, and am pleased to recommend the attentive manager. My name is Yeo Colonel Yeo Colonel Beaple Yeo. East India Company Service, late of the Bombay Heavy Dragoons. Heavies we were called Heavies, my lord." "Will you excuse me?" said the stout little nobleman; "I must run and speak to my lady. 'Pon my word, this is most serious, I must tell her all you have been so good as communicate to me. What were the statistics relative to the Grand Prince?" "Eight decimal one call it eight of diphthere tic effluvium, traces of scarlet fever germs, and of trichinus spiralis. You know, my lord, how frightful, how deadly, are the ravages of that pest" "Bless me!" exclaimed his lordship, "these foreigners really they should not attempt to draw English Englishmen and their families to their health resorts without making proper provision in a sanitary way. Of course, for themselves it doesn't matter; they are foreign ers, and impervious to such influences; or. if not, and carried off by them well, they are for eigners! But to English it is outrageous! I'll talk to my lady." "Lambert" said Mrs. Sidebottom in a low tone to her son, "for goodness' sake don't for get; we must go to the Hotel Imperial!" Bnt low as she had spoken, her neighbor in the light suit heard her, turned round and saw her. Not the least abashed, he raised his hat, and with a flush of pleasure exclaimed. "Ah! how do you do my dear madam my dear, dear madam? This is a treat a treat indeed; the unexpected is always doubly grateful." He looked round to see that his lordship was out of hearing, and then said In a lower tone, "you misconstrued me you misinterpreted me. 1 had guaranteed you 15 per cent, and 16 per cent you should have had. If you have lost it, it is through want of confidence in me in me in Colonel Beaple Yeo, of the Bombay Heavies. Had you trusted me but ab! let bygones be bygones. Howver, an explanation is due. I writhe undertbe imputa tion of not being above board and straight straight as an arrow. But what can you do with a man like Mr. Philip Pennycomequick? The landowners of Bridlington got wind of the plan. They scented Iodinopolis. Their greed was insatiable, they demanded Impossible prices. There was nothing for it but for me to beat a retreat, make a strategic move to the rear, feign to abandon the whole thing, throw it up and turn my attention elsewhere. Then, when they were in a state of panic, my design was to reappear and buy the land on my own terms, not any more ou theirs. Why, my dear madam, I would have saved the shareholders thousands on thousands of pounds, and raised the interest from perhaps a modest 7 to 25 per cent, and a decimal or so more. But 1 was not trusted, the money confided to me was with drawn, and others will make fortunes instead of us. I schemed, others will carry out my scheme. Sievosnon vobis mellificatis apes, and you know the rest, aratis bovis, and so on." Then Beaple Yeo stood up and handed his card to Mrs. Sidebottom, saying: "You will at least do me this favor; give my card to the pro prietor of the Hotel Imperial, and he will care for you as for a princess of the royal blood." Then he stalked away. Mrs. Sidebottom turned dejectedly to her son. "Lamb, I believe I was premature. After all, tlnjre was management in that affair. Of conrse his was the right way to bring those landowners to their knees. Let us take a turn." Beaple Yeo had now attached himself to another party of strangers tourists, whose ac quaintance he had probably made at an hotel in Lucerne; and he walked tbedeck with them. When they were fore, then Mrs. Sidebottom and her son wera in the rear, but when they turned on their heels, then she turned also and walked aft, and heard their conversation dur ing that portion of the walk.

To what use can it be put? It will be sold for a song, as not a traveler will cross the mountain when he can pass under it Forasong-literally for a 'song of sixpence. Now, can you conceive of a place more calcu lated by nature as a nursery of Mount St Ber nard dogs and the necessary buildings given away given for nothing, to save them from crumbling into ruin. There is a demand, a growing demand for Mount St Bernard dogs, that only wants a little coaxing to become a perfect furor. We will send one as a present to Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales. We will get in France an idea that the St Ber nard dog is a badge of the republic, and that all true Repnblicans are bound to have Mount St Bernard dogs. "We will get some smart writers in America to dash off some sparkling articles in the illustrated magazines, and the demand becomes furious. Say the population of France Is 37,000,000; actually it is more.and of these two-third say 25,000,000 are Republicans, and of these, one-half are In a position to buy Mount St Bernard dogs, and we fan the par tisan fever to a height, by means of the press, which is easily done by dropping a few pounds into the hands of writers and proprietors. Say that one-third only of those in aposition to buy the dogs, actually ask for them that makes five millions of Mount St Bernard dogs to be supplied to France alone. Then consider En gland, if it becomes the fashion there, and it will become the fashion, if the Princess of Wales accepts a dog from us, and walks about with one. Every lady of distinction, and then, in the next year, e ery servant girl, will want a St Bernard dog. And further I have calcu lated that we can feed a dog at less than 3 farthings a day; say the total cost is a guinea. I have made inquiries and I find I shall be able to buy up the broken meat at a very low figure from the great hotels of Switzerland during the season. This will be conveyed to the hospice and there frozen. So it will keep and be doled outto the dogs daily, as required. Let us say that the interest on the outlay in purchasing the hospice and in maintaining the staff of dog-keepers be one guinea per dog; that makes the total outlay two guineas on each pup, and a pup a year old we shall not sell under 10. Now calculate the profit for yourselves 8 a dog, and 4,000,000 suppled to France alone to enthusiasts for the republic, and quite 2,000,000 to England to those who imitate Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, and 7,000.000 to the United States for Americans who copy French or English fash ions, and you have a total of 18.000,000 of dogs at 8 each, a clear profit of 125,000,000. If we put the matter in decimals " The party turned and were before Mrs. Side bottom. She could not hear what followed. "My dear Lamb," whispered she, "did you hear that? What a chancel What a head the Colonel hasl" At the next revolution Mrs. Sldebottomheard something more about the dog scheme. "You see, gentlemen, the splendid thing is that the dogs suffer from pulmonary complaints when in the plains, and will not breed away from the eternal snows two great aavantages to us. Shares preference shares at 10 are to be subscribed in full, others as called in at intervals of six months. I myself guarantee IS per cent, but as -you see for yourselves, gentle men, the scheme cannot fail to succeed and the profits will be overwhelming." "Are yon going on to Andermatt?" asked one of the gentlemen walking with Beaple Yeo. "No, sir, I have had a bad attack; yon can see the traces in my face. I will also show you my watch, how it was blackened. I have been ordered by my medical adviser to cruise up and down the lake of the Five Cantons, and inhale the air off the water till I am thoroughly re stored. By the way, if you are going to the Hotel Imperial at Andermatt would you take my card to the proprietor? He is interested about the dogs." Beaple Yeo now crossed the deck to a party that was clustered together at the bulwarks with an opera glass that was passed from hand to hand. It consisted of a tall man with a broad-brimmed hat, bushy black whiskers, a white tie and clerical coat, his wife, his sister and five daughters. A comfortable religiosity surrounded the group as a halo. Beaple Yeo raised his hat; "Beg pardon sir; a clergyman?" "Yes I am." "And a dean, doubtless. You will excuse my interrupting you, but I have ventured here thinking you might like to know about a very remarkable movement after the truth in Italy, A SUBYEY 0E TEiDE. Effect of Conemaush Floods on Pittsbnrc Commerce Produce Supplies Short ened The Savins Factor of Cer eal markets is Light Re ceipts Qnins Advanced Lard lledaced. Office op Pittsburg Dispatch, 1 Saturday, June 8, 18S9. j The Conemaugh valley floods have been felt all along the lines of trade here the past week. Country Prodnce. A leading produce commission merchant said: "Our great difficalty the past few days has been to secure a sufficient amount of fruit and vegetables to meet demands. From Fri day of last week until Tuesday of this we were unable to get any stuff from Maryland, which is our main source of supply at this time of the year. The washouts kept back our stuff, and when it finally managed to get through much of it was in bad shape." Onr markets have been hungry all the week, owing to the delay of trains. Large quantities of stuff on the way were ordered back to Eastern markets. There has been a scarcity of tomatoes, beans and peas for some days. Florida supplies are about at their end for this season! and wash outs have delayed the shipments from more northerly belts. Produce trade was veryquiet to-day because there was little to sell. Home grown strawberries were in short supply, and those from Maryland and Delaware were In bad shape when they made the landing. Old potatoes which have survived are firm at an advance, while new are tending downward. There has been a scarcity of tropical fruits all the week, but the blockade being now broken, an excess is probable for the coming week. Notwithstanding shortage there was no ad vance in prices. Eggs have advanced during tho week and markets close firm td-day. Butter is practi cally the same price as last Saturday. Good grazing in this vicinity has had the effect of depressing country butter. The stock of cheese held by our home jobbers has been well cleaned up this week by reason of strong demands from the Conemaugh valley. A leading jobber of cheese,butter and eggs said: "Our trade started out lively at the beginning of the week and has kept up well to the close. We sold a much larger quantity ot goods than last week and our stuff is not often as well cleaned np on Sat urday as it is to-day." Another produce mer chant said: "We have not been able to fill up orders for a few days because of delays of trains. Everything m our line ot good quality has been in short supply all week. We have had hungry markets, light supplies, and could have sold much more stuff if we had had it." Provisions. A member of one of our leading pork pack ing firms reports as follows: "The flood in the Conemaugh valley has very materially affected our trade. Many of our best customers are between Blairsville and Altoona. From all that region we got no oidersforaweekpast Ono of our traveling men started out for that re gion on the fatal Friday, but didn't accomplish mucb, as you can readily understand. I bad a letter from pne of our customers at Irwin to day. He wrote: 'You will have to excuse me for not making a remittance, for I have been for a number of dajs at Johnstown, where my mother lived. I am happy to say that my mother and family were saved, bnt all their property was swept away.' Notwithstanding the fact that some 25 of our regular customers are in the ill-fated district, onr trade for the week has held up well. The Relief Committee has sent in large orders, and while this has not been enough to offset losses our trade for tbe week will show little, if any, decline in volume from lftfiti wfifilC. Hams bavo been advanced Jc and lard re duced :. Receipts of hogs reported at western live stock centers this week were 255,000 head against 210,000 for the corresponding week last year. Groceries. The only marked feature of thegrocery traoe for the week has been the advance in sugf.r. There have been two advances of He dm ng the week and markets close firm. The fault preserving season is now here and pricesare accustomed to ascend at this time.

The saving factor of markets thuT week has been light receipts, the lightest foffl the year. This has given a better tone to trj.de, but has failed to advauce prices.

Count Caprili is the leading spirit It is no use, sir, no doubt you aro aware, jpulling at the leaves and nipping the extremities of the nnas, you must strike at the root, and that is what my dear friend Count Caprili is doing. He is quite an evangelist, inspired with the utmost enthusiasm. I have here a letter from him descriptive of the progress the truth is making in Rome in Rome itself. It is in Italian; do you read Italian, sir V ,N no, but, mother, can you?" to his wife. "No, but Minny has learned it," of a daugh ter, who reddened to the roots of her fair hair, and allowed that if it were in print she might make it out. "Never mind," said Beaple Yeo, or Colonel Yeo, as he now called himselt, "I can give you the contents in a few words. A year ago his little congregation numbered 20, it now counts 185, and at times even a couple of decimals more. At this rate he reckons that the whole of the .Eternal City will have embraced the truth in 25 years and two months, unless the eagerness to embrace it grows in geometrical Instead of arithmetical progression. In Flor ence and Turin the increase is even more rapid. Indeed, it may fairly bo said that super stition is undermined, and that the whole fabric will collapse. Between ourselves I know as a fact that the Pope when he heard of the successes of Count Caprili attempted to commit suicide, and had to bo watched day and night, he is such a prey to despair. You have perhaps seen my letters to the Archbishop of Canter bury on the subject; they appeared in some of the papers. Only one thing is needed to crown the whole movement with success, and that is money. The Count has urged me to act as his intermediary secretary and treasurer as re gards England and America, and I shall be most happy to forward to him any contribu tions I may Teceive." "Dear me." saia the dean, "this is most inter esting. Have any of our bishops taken up the matter?" "In letters that I have they express the deep est Interest in it" "X shall be most happy to subscribe a sover eign," said the dean, fumbling in his purse. "And I also," said his wife. "And I as well," put in his sister. "I will note all in my book of contributions," said Yeo, receiving the money, and finding to his disgust that be had been given 20-franc In stead of 20-shilling pieces, "Would you mind, "it, if you go to as I take it for granted you will if you go to the Hotel Imperial " "Ah! we were going to the Cerf." "That is a verv tblrd-rate inn, hardly suitable for a dignitary of the church. But if you will take my card, Beaple Yeo, of the Bombay Heavies, to the proprietor of the Hotel Impe rial, he will treat you well and be reasonable in his charges. He is most interested in the movement of Slgnor Caprili. and is a convert but secretly; ask him about the movement and he will open to you; show him my card, and he will confide his religious views to yon." "I am most obliged. We will certainly go to the Imperial. Ah mamma ! here we are at the landing-place." As Mrs. Sidebottom left the boat at the sta tion, which she called Flue-ellen, she held out her hand to Colonel Yeo. "I hope bygones will be bygones," she said. "I will take some shares in the St Bernard dogs preference shares, please." CHAPTER XXXVIH. In Hotel Imperial. Salome had found her sister at the Imperial Hotel at Andermatt Janet was one of those persons whose bodily condition varies with their spirits. When depressed she looked and indeed felt ill; when happy she looked and felt as if nothing were the matter with her. Janet had been greatly tried by the double shocks of her husband's death and the discovery of her parentage. She had been taken into the secret because it could not be kept from her.when the man Schofleld, alias Beaple Y'eo, suddenly ar rived at Mergatroyd, just after the flood aud the disappearance of Jeremiah Pennycome quick, at the time when she was sharing her mother's room instead of Salome. Mrs. Cusworth at that time was in great dis tress of mindattbe loss of her master and friend; and when her brother-in-law, the father of the two girts whom she had brought up as her own, unexpectedly appeared and asked for money and clothing, she confided her difficulty to Janet and between them they managed to bribe him to depart and leave, them in peace. Mrs. Cusworth had sacrificed a large slice out of her savings to secure his departure, and trusted thereby to get rid of him forever. When Janet returned to France she found everything in confusion; the factory at Elbceuf was stopped, the men who had been employed in it had, assumed arms against the Germans, and were either shot, taken captives, or dis- Eersed. Her sister-in-law was almost off her ead with excitement and alarm for her chil dren, three girls just out of school. Prussian officers bad been quartered in her house, and had carried off some of her valuables, and ran sacked the cellar for the best wines. Janet bad caught cold that night in the train when it was delayed by the flood, on the way to Mergatroyd, and it had settled on her chest, and left a cough that she could not shake oft. Anxioty and worry had told on her joyous dis position and deprived it of its elasticity. She gave way to discouragement Her husband's can do better tban he could have done a week ago.

Business Scotched but Not Killed by the Conemnugh Calamity. ' Tha business history of last week has al ready been written. The Johnstown calam ity knocked the life ont of it. Saturday it snowed signs of recovery, bnt it will be some time before it gets fairly on its feet again. Stocks were dull and weak all through. The total sales amounting to only 2,403 shares of which Pittsburg Traction furnished nearly one-half, followed by Philadelphia Gas with 550. Oil was in the same condition as stocks. Realty was fairly active, a number of im portant deals being made. The number of deeds recorded was 208, representing J502, 1K)2. There was a fair movement in mort gages, one being placed at 1 per cent, the loiwest rate on record for home money. The niMnber placed during the week was 186, of the vaEueof $380,597. The largest were: S55,000,$15,000, $14,B25, $10,375, $10,000, and nine from $5,000 to The1 new buildings at the comer of Wood and I amond streets will soon be under root Theyi ill cost probably $50,000. Other costly improv ements 'on Diamond street are in con templation. Every day adds to the cost of the proposed improvement What are its friends doingf lit is a good rule never to put off till to morrow (what can be done to-day. The way to improve (Diamond street is to improve it. Talk is good, but action is better. A public neces sity like jbis sbould not be suffered to lapse Into innoduous desuetude. ( The life 'insurance interest is reviving since the Johnsjtown disaster. The uncertainty of life, as exemplified in that awful calamity, has caused many to think seriously and take steps for the protection of their families. An agent said yesterday: "I have done more business the past jveek than during the rest of the year. Heretofore I have been compelled to go to people;' now they come to me. Whenever a man gets (into a serious frame of mind, he at once things about life insurance. I have filled out five policies to-day for amounts ranging from $5,000 to $10,000. The latter is our limit. Young roirried men just starting in business, and clerkip take the lead. By this fore-thought, in case tttoy should suddenly be cut off, they put their j families beyond tbe reach of want It every npan would do this there would be far less miserly in tbe world. There comes a cus tomer now. Good day." w Business at the banks was very quiet Satur day, scarcely anything being done except in a routine way. Rates on loans showed no change, and exchange and currency were even. The weelk's clearings, as compared with those of the same week last year, show a falling off of $276,056 65. The depression caused by tho flood easily accounts for this deficit The Clearing House report for the day. week and year presents some interesting facts.

She baa Deen oraerea to juenione ior iu winter, and then to spend the summer high up in the Alps, 'where the air was pure and bra cing. She had come, accordingly, to Ander matt, and her sister-in-law bad sent her three school-girl daughters to be with her; to look after ber, Madame Labarte had said; to be looked after by her, Janet found was expected. They were nice enough girls, with simple minds, bnt it was a responsibility imposed on Janet at a time when she required complete re laxation from care. At Andermatt the fresh air was rapidly re storing Janet to her normal condition of cheer fulness, and was giving her back the health she lacked, when her father arrived, impecunious, of course, and let her understand that be bad come there to be supported by her, and to get out of her what he could. It would have been bad enough to have this dreadful man there posing as her father had she been alone. It was far worse with the three girls, ber nieces, under her charge, and in her dismay she had a relapse, and wrote off to Salome an agonizing entreaty to come to ber aid. Janet bad been left comfortably off, but till her husband's affairs were settled it was not possible for her to tell what her income would really amount to. The factory was again work ing, a competent overlooker had been fonnd, and a suitable working partner taken Into the firm to carry it on. In ail probability Madame Baynes would be very well off, but at present she had not much ready money at her disposal. Mr. Schofleld, or Colonel Yeo, as he pleased to call himself now, was a aifferent looking man at this time to the wretched looking ob ject who had presented himself at Mergatroyd, asking for clothing and cash, rather more than a year ago indeed. 18 months ago. He was well dressed, trim, held himself erect and as sumed a military air and some pomposityas though the world were going well with him. He had carried away a little, but only a very little, of the plunder from Bridlington, and he knew very well that what he had would not last him long. It was satisfactory to have a well-to-do daughter to fall back on, whose purse he could dip his fingers into when thev itched. But Beaple Yeo could not be idle. He had an act ive mind and a ready invention, and he began operations on his own account, partly as tout on the lake steamers for the Hotel Imperial at Andermatt, receiving a fee for every tourist he sent it, and partly by his speculations in dogs and missionaries. Janet would have run away from Andermatt but for the three incumber ances whom it would not have been easy to move to a secret and precipitate flight without explanations to them or their mother explanations which would have been awkward; moreover, she feared that it would be unavailing, as her father could easily dis cover the way she had gone and follow ber. There were only three passes in additiou to the road up from Amsteg by which she could leave, and it would not be possible for her to depart by any of these routes unknown to Colonel Yeo. Her first alarm and uneasiness abated when he took himself off to tout on the lake; and she resolved on remaining where she was till Salome came and gave her advice what course to pursue. Salome decided that it was the best policy to remain where they were, and not attempt flight She saw that her sister was suffering, and she determined to remain with her, to protect and comfort her, and await what the future had in store for herself. She naturally felt a great longing to be at borne with her baby, butat the same time she recognized that the situation at home was not tolerable, that some change must take place before she could return to Merga troyd. One day Colonel Yeo was in the salle-a-man-ger at the Hotel Imperial preparing for table d'hote, when a lady entered, well-dressed, dark haired, with fine eyes, and swept up the room towards ail alcove where were small tables, at which either a party sat that desired to be alone, or tourists not intending to dine at table d'Jiote but a la carte. She walked slowly, with a certain dignity, and attracted all eyes. Every head was turned to observe her. and her eyes, in return, passed over as mustering and appris ing those who occupied their seats at the table. She accepted the homage of interest she ex cited, as though it were her own. What was her age? She had arrived at that period of life at which for some time a woman stands still she was no girl, and no one could, say that she was passe. "Waiter I" called Colonel Yeo. "Yes, sir in a minute, sir." "Who is that lady in the gray dress with red trimming?" "Gray dress, sir? The stout lady with the Utile husband T" "Nonsense, that distinguished lady young there at the table in the alcove." "Yes sir don't know, sir. Will inquire." Off skipped the waiter to carry round the soup, and forgot to inquire. "waiter!" called Colonel Yeo, to another, the head garcon. "Who is that prepossessing young lady, yonder?" "Lady, sir? Don't know her name I have seen her often everywhere, at Hombur?, Baden Baden, Milan." "What Is she?" "Do you mean of what nation, sir?

Said to be very rich worth mil lions." "Worth millionsF' echoed Colonel Yeo. "Can I change my seat and get near herf During dinner Colonel Yeo could not keep his eyes off her. , . "Worth millions, and so good looking!" Which would interest her most his dogs or his missionaries? or could she be interested in himself? He called for champagne. He put one arm over the back of his chair, held his champagne glass m the other hand, and half turned, looked hard at the lady. She observed his notice of her, and their eyes met Her eyes said as distinctly as eyes can speak, "Look at me as much as you will, I expect to be admired, I do not object to be admired, I freely afford to all who take pleasure in beautiful objects, the gratification of contemplating me. But who are yon?" "Waiter," said Beaple Yeo, calling the head garcon, "if by chance that lady wants to know who I am. inst say that 1 am Colonel Yeo of the Bengal Heavies a claimant for the Earldom of Schofleld." At a table near that occupied by the lady sat Salome, Janet and the three young girls La barte. An arrangement had been come to with Yeo that he was not to associate with tbem, to hold aloof, and to receive money for doing this. He bad got what be could, or could for the time being, out of his daughter Janet, and was therefore inclined to devote his energies to new arrivals. "Garcon," called the lady In gray and red. Dcstiit6 m'selle ' "Whois'that gentleman yonder, drinking champagne?" "M'selle, the colonel! e'est un milord." "English?" "But certainly." "Rich?" "Rich! the Colonel! rich! Mon dieu! Cest un Milord Anglais!" "Is he staying here long?" J "Ah. m'selle! Whero else could he stay? All the season." "What is bis title?" "MonDIeu! I can't say Scoville? Scoville? But ye.', an earl Comte de Scoville, I believe, m'selle." "Walter should he or any one else inquire who I am, say an American a millionaire, as I toldyou before." "He has already asked," said the waiter, with a knowing look. In the alcove where a lady sat at a table by herself was also a larger table, as already said, occupied by Janet and her party, and the lauy in gray and red attracted the attention of the girls. These three girls were much alike; they ranged in age from 16 to 19. had dark eyes and fresh cheeks, looked a mixture of English and French blood, and though they spoke English with their aunt and Salome, they spoke it with a foreign accent and when they talked to each other naturally fell into French. They were not beautiful, were undeveloped girls without much character apparently. The Btrange lady evidently exercised their minds, and they looked a good deal at her, and passed low remarks to each other concerning her. Their cariosity was roused, and when she was not at her place they searched the visitors' book for her name, and for some information about ber. "Ma Tante," pleaded the eldest, "which do you think she is of all these on this page?" "AJais Claudine, how can I tell?" "Oh! Ma Tante do ask the waiter." "But why, Claudine? She does not interest me." "Ob, we are so puzzled about her; she looks so aristocratic and dresses so well, and has so many changes. She must employ a Parisian milliner. Oh, we do wish we knew where she got that charming walking dress of gray and gold." "Garcon!" Janet Baynes called a waiter. "Who is the lady who sits at this little table here?" "Madame a rich American, a millionaire of New York." "A millionaire!" The head3 of the young ladies went together and as the lady entered all their eyes watched her with eagerness. So beautiful, iso dis tinguished looking, so wealthy. "What is her name, waiter?" "Mademoiselle Du Rbame." "A French name?" "Ah, madame, it stands there in the visitor's book," and he-pointed to Artemisia Durham, Chicago, U. S. A. It was not possible for the American lady to fail to observe the interest she excited in the young girls. She saw their heads go together, then fly apart when she appeared; at table she caught tbeir dark eyes watching ber, and when they saw that they were noticed, away flew their eyes like scared birds. Miss Durham condescended to look at the girls with a half smile: she did not object to their admiration, and she did not court it What was more remarkable than the interest awakened in those children was that which she certainly aroused In Salome. There was a something, a mystery, a fascination in the woman that held Salome and drew her toward the stranger. She felt that this woman was her reverse in every particular, a woman with experience and knowledge of the world, with a power of making herself agreeable when she chose, and to whomsoever she chose. Salome had spent her life in a veiy narrow sphere, had MAEKETS BY TOE. A Small Bnt General Drop on Nearly Every Feature of tbe Cblcngo List Even Bog Products Safler From tbo Decline. Chicago, June 8.

Whether this conversation of glances would afein8.,an7.!nrSlermay be doubted, had it not been that the French-speaking waiter who xawi,ie.Ii,dea on . the ladie3' disappeared. W betber he was taken ill. or whether, caught doing wrong, he had been dismissed, or whether he had been enticed elsewhere by a higher wage, nobody knew and nobody cared to ask. Waiters are no more thought about by gnesta . than are the mules and horses employed on ex peditions. He was succeeded by a German, or German-Swiss who conld not speak French, and only an unintelligible English; and the demoiselles Labarte and Madame Baynes on principle would not have asked for a bit of bread in German had they known how to do so. Salome knew little or no German, and the ladies were in difficulties. Claudine was out ot sorts somewhat feverish, bnt nothing serious' and her aunt advised that Bhe should drink orgeat instead of wine. The waiter was puz zled. "Acn! eine DrehoreeL Freilich. freilich, bestelle gleich," and he rushed off to find an organ grinder with a marmot Then Miss Durham good-naturedly inter fered, allayed the wrath of the ladies at the in herent Teutonic stupidity which never can do right, and ordered what was really required. The orgeat broke the ice, conversation be gan.and next day the American lady was seated at the same table as the Labartes, with Salome and Janet It would be impossible for the lat ter to get on with the stupid, stubborn German, waiter, unassisted by someone who was able to speak and understand the language of bar barians. At first there was but the exchange of ordinary courtesies, bnt now that the threa girls were able to speak to the stranger, they hardly contained their attentions within ordi nary bounds; they rivaled each other who should gain pre-eminent favor with the lady who wore such charming toilettes. The girls were triumphant; they had formed the acquaintance; that was the one advantage that grew ont of a German waiter; Salome was pleased she could now learn of this brilliant ac complished woman; and Janet was satistiea be cause she was feeling dull herself, and wanted a lively companion to relieve the tedium. Miss Durham had plenty to say for herself. She was clever, amusing, interesting. She had seen much of the world knew most watering 5 laces, baths and health, resorts in Europe, 'be meals, which had passed somewhatheavily before, now became gatherings full of liveli ness. Janet brisked up, felt better in health and looked quite well, proposed excursions and schemed picnics. The whole party now found so much to talk about that they were re luctant to leave the table. Suddenly a pallor and tremor came over Mrs. Baynes. Snelooked up. Beaple Yeo wa3 standing, white hat in band, with the puggary trailing on the floor, near the table. "I take the liberty," he said; "introduce me." Janet looked at Salome, and Salome at Janet "I see," said Yeo; "mv relatives are in doubt how to introduce me while my claim is being presented in the Upper House. Call me Col onel Yeo, of the Bengal Heavy Dragoons. Hang my title! I shall find the coronet heavy enough when it is fitted to my brow: the eight pearls eight pearls; and as many strawberry leaves strawberry leaves. I will not assume my title till it is adjudged to me by the House of Lords. You know your history of England. The attainder was for rebellion, and I now re assert my claim to the Earldom of Schofleld." "And I," said the American lady, "am Arte misia Durham, of Chicago." (TO BE CONTINUED NEXT MONDAY.)
