The good-natured detective hesitated a momer.t, then said: "Well, gentb men. I'll not stop the play If she can act with Jhuhler on her heart 'n mind rHjfait." Burnett gave a sight of relief. M.

ONCE USED, ALWAYS IN FAVOR. " gun, rn which respectabUHy. in the per son of M. Duval was no triumph. Burnett walked thoughtfully away, and out of the stage entrance. In a shadow he saw two detectives; It gave him a shock. They were waiting fur hor. Murdered! How the thought of the English peer lying dead, and In dying accusing her with his unwarranted tak ing off. drove him to act to come to her aid In some way. and with what In tensity of mental strain! As he Jumped Into a hansom and told the driver to hurry to the police headquarters at Mulberry street the thought of what i'he was facing an Innocent girl near ly crazed him. Did she ever cast her lovely tearful eytJ (It was admitted that the new English Camille shed tears In this third act) In the direction of that left proscenium box. ami have occaelon to observe that tall, quiet-looking man gazing at her. He was not dressed for an evening performance. Ills coat was buttoned tightly to tb? chin, there was something hawk-like In his glittering detective eyes, and which she. If she was guiltythe words entered his mind unbidden (a devilish suggestion, and he hurled them out of it iiitan-tly If she was guilty she would be quick enough to take the alarm. She would expect Mr. Swift. If she was guilty! It would come back to plague him. What must be her storm and stress of mind as she went through her part of replying and yield ing to the arguments of the respectable M. Duval? If she was guilty she was clever, and she would recognise the de tectivewould realize that her hand kerchief had been found, would either plan to escape, to commit suicide, or to submit to fate and Imprisonment. But In deciding which momentous alternative, how could she rtlll have mind left to act her part before a critical audience? The acting would necessarily drop to routine It would become purely mechanical. She would forget her Nnes, hesitate, and. If a weaker woman, certainly be overcome. Ah. If guilty, he pitied her In that third BCi. If guilty (It occurred to him now. as he rattled swiftly down Broadway, that he must consider this side of the case and discuss It he must face It). If guil'ty, the motive was not far to seek and the telegrams which would arrive at police headquarters by the time he got there would throw full light on this Birmingham peer, who, she said, was hor own father. The cab horse was a good one, and the driver, spurred by the five-dollar bill Burnett had thrust into his hand, drove like a reckless Jehu. As they Hashed by an electric light he looked at his watch. It was now 10.05, and the third act was well begun. "If guilty. he said, ardently, gnawing his dark mustache, "if guilty, I will save her, He Saw Two Da tcctlves. and, if she will have me, follow her to the ends of the earth. Innocent or guilty, she shall be mine!" Then he felt the cab give a lurch and swerve to one side across Broadway. He heard the driver-shout a warning, then a cable car struck, them and he knew no more. (To be Continued.) INDUSTRIAL TOPICS. The Railway Age, which has kept care ful watch of the new track laid In '.he country for the first half of 1833, has this to say about the situation: "when 1894 ended with a record of orly l.WS miles of new railway added In the United States the smallest annual Increase of mileage In thirty years there was no reason to ex pect a rapid revival of railway building on large scale, although there were hun dreds of projects in various stages of growth for which more favorable times were awaited. Thus far In 1895 there nan not been much greater activity exhibited In the actual work of grading and track laying than In the corresponding period last year; but the general business situa tion has greatly Improved and with It has come some encouragement to those Inter ested in the extension of transportation facilities, which Is likely to result In mak ing the new mileage of the year consid erably greater than that of IVM.

From work now in sight It looks as If the new track added In 18 would aggregate 2,600 miles, with a possi bility of something more If times continue to Improve rapidly." Hams Old Story.

There were two sides to the stock market today and those operating for lower prices found this out at an early ttour. At the opening Chicago daa rallied about 2 points, and the railway list on higher cables from London moved up St to per cent. The bears on the Industrials then made another attack and brought about a decline of H to 3 per cent. In this decline Chicago Gas sold down to US: Tobacco to 107. and Sugar to 105. Much to the disappointment of the bear contingent this raid was practically Ig nored so far as the. railway list was concerned, and for the remainder of the day the shorts devoted their time to getting back the stock put out on the theory that the breuk In the Industrials would start liquidations. In the after noon trading covering became quite general, and prices for Industrials rose anywhere from to 4 per cent The railway group moved H per cent; Bur lington and Qulncy.

A Terrible Rumor. There's a fearful rumor In the air It makes the boldest shrink; ' Du Mauriur's broke, loose again and bouxht a quart of Ink. For writing quarto novels, 'tis natural he should burn, But for more of Miss O'Ferrell why, we really do not yearn. Ho killed her off so gracefully, so neatly nnd so pat, And little Hlllce. caught It next and took an upper Hut, While Taffy must disgustingly recovered from his grief And married I mice's sister to his evident relief. Svcngall, too, Is out of It; the Laird will never do; Ho didn't leave a future fiction even In Zou-Zou! But funerals to Du Mauricr are lighter than the air, And though they all are burled, though wo all are in despnjr Though we know ho even filched his nov el's novel name, Hes going to write a sequol to his "Trilby" just the same!
