In looked at the newspaper man itatlon, which quickly subsided. the legitimate daughter is said "nave- died tn12. Now, then, sup pose the Illegitimate child, a daughter. and the words of the will are, 'To my unmarried daughter living at the time ' Of. my death, Ave hundred thot'sand pounds.' Suppose, too, the illegitimate uiuinipr occumes a duuho uosiiion. ur . It married, and dreads the publicity of her father's acknowledging her his ' Child r s "If she gets the moniy she must take 'the shame," argued Burnett. "And, after all, it's not her fault." "Not If she Is able to personate the legitimate daughter? If she can do this, then the motive Is plain." "But her own mother. Lady Holton?" "She died ten years ago. The present . a-auy nouon Knows noining. i ou nee. a clever, heartless, unscrupulous, har dened woman would see the advantage cf removing her father Just at this Juncture. She would then claim to be his true legitimate daughter and heir. . There Is at every woman's heart a fun ' ttamental motive, my dear Burnett, to establish their blnthrle-ht. to establish their warrant to respectability. I have seen the struggles of a fallen woman tn this very city to re-establish herself, until she Involved herself In murder. I tell you, the sting of Illegitimacy, ot breast, and Is more unendurable to her than to a man. , Night and day it 1? fcer torment, lier agony. She Is un Im aginative, fanciful creature.' She Imag ines that everyone is aware of her taint, when no one thinks of it." Burnett rose to his feet. "Say no more. Your theory Is that irhtert that ah la npprv enimiT-h tit oy one etroke. You are a clever nn ,nanMrnv nf,r vaii a,. vturn, Tour theory Is too clever by half. She la Incapable of such atrocity!" "I shall act on It for the present." "You will arrest Miss Armitage?" "At the end of the play, yes." patch. The inspector read it. "Boston. A. registered at Adams House. J. L. L Smith and wife; have suite 117." The Inspector turned down the cor ners of his mouth. "Ton boo." said he, "that her 'hus- fcand' Is low brute; at least, she 13 rlf he Is Innocent of this murder, he has 'the misfortune to be caught In a lesser crime." Burnett sighed and looked at his watch. It was then 10:42. There seemed . to be no way to prevent the arrest. "The curtain is just down for the last .. ntr aete," he said. "The last act will take about half an hour. Then she will stand accused!" He stood pondering a moment. suppose, ne saiu, wun sianiea race, "suppose what you say is true, and she knows that she Is about to be arrested. In the death scene which ends poor Marguerite Oautlers troubles, Eleanor, . In her remorse which the nobility and Wgh pure feeling in poor Marguerite . will must Inspire her may she not seek must she not seek to make the last death scene real V The Inspector smiled coolly. "We must prevent that," he said. "And I look to -. you to do It. However, great criminals ' are very rarely suicides." Mkof cried Burnett, bitterly, walking ' to and fro In his agony of mind. "Alas! she is too clever not to know that her arrest will surely follow the . final fall of the curtain. Her art Is very treat; Iter nature Is tense and passion . - ate; It might seem to her a fit end. Oh, what shall I do? What shall I do? "He ' fcuried his face In his hands. V The Inspector touched his shoulder r kindly. "Burnett, I feel deeply for you. You love this woman, that's plain. But my best advice is, go home and go to ' bedtake an opiate. If you can't sleep. Ton are a young man; you have a ca reer before you; your name must not to any way be brought into affair. It " must not appear In the papers. Oo koine, my dear boy." "No, I believe ber guiltless. Some dreadful mystery conceals the real . Criminal. Time will prove this. You Will have to act as you believe It to be your duty.. You will arrest her, but I Will sooner or later release her! Do you suppose she would leave her hand ' kerchief, the only proof of her guilt yott have, on the murdered man's face? No, no, not It Is preposterous!" "Why, that that's the cleverest piece - of basinets In the whole affair," said the Inspector, -, "How r "She know he had been seen and recognised - t. the hotel; hence she ' wished to divert suspicion; hence her tpptrent affection, her kisses, her kind ly use of her handkerchief.

"There, I thought we should get evi dence sooner or later; that will fasten the crime." The Inspector fairly rubbed his hands In n sort of vague professional delight. "If you bi'llevei her Innocent, Air. Burnett, will you suggest a theory?" he said, pleasantly. "You ore proba bly aware that Miss Armitage acted two weeks In Philadelphia before com ing here. It was while there she learned of h.T father's coming and prepared hfself aid biushi the chloroform." Burnett hardly knew what to say. Mr. Davids looked very sure of his prey. "Still, there Is no proof!" Insisted the nowspaiior man. "There will be a net nbout her In tw.-nty.four hours which she can't es c:ie from. I am afraid ?!u- will elude us only In one way. Yes.

We will go at once K ths theater. May I ask you one question? Do you believe she cares for you?" "I believe she has led me to think yes." "Very good. You will, perhaps, be able to prevent her taking up arms osiln ': her own life you, and you alcne!" THE LAST EXTR' ACTE. The curtain had not yet risen for the last act when they arrived at the the ater. A number of well-dre?pd young men were standing In the lobby as they en tered. Burnett overheard one of the young men say: "I never saw her so intensely real as to-night. By Jove, suppose in the next act, she shouhl feel It so deeply shs really should die! Would It not be excit ing?" "Ya-as," said another dude, puffllng a cigarette. "She's acting with more power to-night than I ever saw her. When Armand threw money at her, each piece seemed to scorch and burn her. I tell you, It was great! And her beauty Is simply marvelous!" "We will go behind the scenes and see her and watch her," said the In spector, quietly. "I will go, too, and re main out of sight." Burnett, who In spite of the inspec tor's strong influence, believed In the actress' innocence, went back of the scenes and saw Miss Armitage standing In her lond robe de nuit, waiting for the curtain call, to ensconce herself In her pretty white bed on the stage. She was talking In low tones with her maid, Sarah, a quiet looking Englishwoman. How Inexpressibly lovely she looked! Her dark hair hung in riotous disorder down her back. Her face, made pale and wan for the famous death scene, seemed full of wondrous spiritual holi ness and beauty. Shakespeare's words spran-r Into his mind as he gazed at her: "A!ack, that Heaven should practice rtrategems Upon so soft a subject as thyself!" Yet in the calm beauty of her starry eyes there was, he felt, a stern will, as Arm as Juliet's. "If all else fall, myself have power to die!" He stood for a moment watching her. She did not see him. She seemed to be Tilled with more than usual tragic sor row of her part of Marguerite. The world was dead to her. Her heart was broken. Her love waa g.nc She had sacrificed herself and made expiation. She waited for the end. There was so much ethereal tenderness and love In her face; her white embroidered robe betrayed so much of the gentle char acter of her love, and the wealth of happiness she might bestuw on one be loved. Could such an exalted spirit GOLDEN. DISCOVERY. The Invention of Dr. R. V. Tierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Ilitflnlo, N. Y., has, during the past thirty yearn, made a record in the cure of bronchial, throat and Inng distunes that fairly entitles it to out rank all other advertised remedies for these affection. Especially lias it manifested its potency in curing consumption of the lungs. Not every case, but we believe Fully 98 Per. Cent, of all case of consumption, in all its earlier stages, are cured by Dr. fierce 's Golden Medical Discovery, even after the disease hns progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with copious expectoration (includ ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh and extreme emaciation and weakness. Do you doubt tliut hundred-) of such cases reported to us as cured by " Golden Med ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease ? You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly every inntance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever in mis representing llicitl, and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against s trial of "Golden Medical Discovery," but who have been forced to confess that it surpasses, lit curative power over this fatal mnlady, all' other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty cod liver oil and itu filthy "emulsions" and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases ana had either utterly failed to bene fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for short time. Rxtract of malt, whiskey, and vsrloui preparations of the liypoplioe phitcs had also been faith fully tried In vain. The photographs of a largo number of those cured-or consuuiplUin, bronchitis, llrtgerlnt coughs, .asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred maladies, have been skillfully reproduced in a book -of 160 pages which will be malted to yon, on re ceipt of Address and six cents in stamps.

Then he released her, and craved for giveness. Strange to say, she did not seem to very angry! "I cannot die now." she pouted, and the wild joy of her leapt In his heart. "Forgive me.

It would be an easy task for him to prove her so! (To be Continued.) THE ODORIFEROUS ONION. Yon May Not Like It, but Yon Must Po It the Simple Justice to Admit Its Versatil ity as a Modleino. One of the healthiest vegetables. If not the healthiest grown. Is the onion; yet, strange to say, very few people use It as liberally as they should. Boiled onions used frequently In a family of children will ward off many of the dis eases to which the little ones are sub ject. The principal objection to the promiscuous use of this vegetable is that the ordor exhaled after eating Is so offensive. A pup of strong coffee, taken Immediately after eating. Is claimed to be excellent In counteracting this effect. Although for a day or so after eating onions the breath may have a disagreeable odor, yet after this time it will be much sweeter than be fore. For croup onions poultices are used with success, providing the child Is kept out of draughts and a sudden chill avoided. The poultices are made by warming the onions In goose oil until soft, then putting them on the child's feet and chest as hot as they can be borne. Except In very obstinate cases, when taken in time, the croup readily yields to Onions. This, al though an old-fashioned remedy, is a good one, , as any mother who has brought up a family of children can at test. , Onions are excellent blood purifiers, and for eradicating bolls or any of tho blood humors are very efficacious. They are good for the complexion, and a friend who has a wonderfully, fine com plexion, attributes' It to the liberal use of onions as food. People suffering from nervous trou bles are much 'benefited by using these vegetables frequently, either cooked or raw. When ..troubled wHh a hard cough, If a raw onion Is eaten the phlegm will loosen almost Immediately and can be removed with very little ef fort.' Those troubled with wakefulness may insure a good night's rest often If, Just before retiring, they eat a raw onion. There are few aches to which chil dren are subject as hard to bear and as painful a earache. One of tho bent remedies we know of Is to take out the heart of. an onion (a red onion Is the best if It can be had, although, lacking this kind, any other can be used) and roast It. When soft put It .Into the af fected ear as hot as It can be borne. Utiles the cause l deeper than ordin arily the pain will cease in a very short time and will not return. A cough syrup In which onions form an Important part Is made by taking one cup of vinegar, one cup of treacle and one-half cup of cut up onions. Put on the stove and simmer about half an hour, or until the onions are soft. Then remove and strain. Take a teafpoonful or this frequently when troubled with cough, uind "Unless very deep-seated the cough will tvot last long. THE LOVER'S PROBLEM. Hear her heart throb, Hear It beat!
