"Oh, I'm not saying tWat." cried he; "but It's worth more .than a hundred. I'm like to have my head cracked be fore I'm out of It." "I'll make It .two hunderd and fifty." aid I, "and not penny more." . "You're on," says he. "And now for a word about the chap's duds. What was he .wearing when you last saw him?" 1 irave him a full account of Michel Grey and his cluthes. and he went away. Twertty-four hours after I got a line from him: "Come up to it he Hue de la Loire. I have found your man." You may Imagine that I didn't lose muob time in doing us he Asked me. ?I Believe Yonr Man la at .Malson d'Or." While I couldn't really believe that the thing was to end in the simple way his letter made out, none the less the fact that we r.tood a good chance now of putting our hands on the ten thousand dollars camb home to me. "Bigg," said I, "you'll be st up for a twelvemonflh, and he'll be off to New York to marry a Yankee that Is, if he doesn't close on "ttrat pretty bit of goods Up at the Motel de Lille. Waa there ever such a town!" I found Jim sitting on a dirty bed in a dirty little 'house near the boulevard end of the street he had named. He dldnH look at all hopeful as I'd expected lie would, and the cigar that he held In ttiis hand had gone out. "Well," says he, "you got my letter?" "Why should I be here If I hadn't?" ays I. "Alh, true," he went on: "and I may as well teH you at once I believe your man's at the 'Malson d'Or, up in Mont martre." "How did you find that out?" I asked. "I traced him -by his stick." said he: "an orange wood cane, with ji globe of silver and a little map of the world on top uf it. Is that it ?" "The same!" cried I. "And he wore a hat of black felt, large beyond usual?" "He did that." "Then he's at the Malson d'Or; and how we're to get him out, God knows." "Why. what's the difficulty?" "I don't like the house," says he, Shirting his eyes curiously. "But what'a the matter with it?" "Oh, there's nothing the matter with It, except that a good many who go In never come out again. I've no fancy for that myself." . "Jim," saya I, "you haven't got a heart of a rabbit. What nonsense you're talking. Take me up to the chop, and let me have a look at It." "I was going to suggest that," says he. "It'll be dark in an hour, and no one to tread on our heels. I know the woman who keeps the cabaret at the back of the place, and It was from the top of a shed In her garden that I looked down Into the lower rooms." "Why not knock at the door at once and have done with It?" says I. "It would be worth more than your life or mine to do that," cried he; "all the neighborhood knows it. There's not a man that would venture In." "Then what makes you think that this Grey Is there?" "He was two days at an opium den In the Rue d'Oran, which is not a tone's throw off, and was last seen at the cabaret I speak of. He waa then with the man who runs the Mals on d'Or. Filks knew him from my de scription of his hat and stick. I guessed at once that I should hear of him In a drug-shop. That's what took me to the Rue d'Oran."

If Grey is In the shop, the closer the eye we keep on it the better." He assented to this, and we went off together In a closed cab. It was then almost full dusk, and threatening for a wet night. In fact we hadn't got to the top of the Rue du Faubourg when the rain began to pelt down In earnest, the people scuttling into the cafes, and the water Rootling the gutters. When at last our rickety old cnb began to lumber up the slopes to Montmartre, the lamps In the streets were dancing before a stiff west .wind, and the sky above us Wits black as Ink. Where we'd got to I couldn't for the life of me tell; but by nnd by Jim stopped the driver before a third-rate drinking den, and we stepped out In a dirty street, where the mud was almost up to our ankles. "This 1s the phace," said he; while It rained so fast that the water began to run off his hat. "Jam your tile over your eyes, and follow me. You will want a twenty franc piece to shut the old woman's mouth; after that. It's easy." He led the way Into a bit of n bar when four or Ave shabby customers were drinking leer and talking to wo men who matched them down to the ankles. But we weren't there more than a moment, for after a word in French lingo to the chap who served the drink, we passed on to a small par lor which overlooked a bit of a yard. Here a squat little woman, who didn't appear to have washed her face for a fortnight, was In talk with a girl who had a guitar In her hand n poor, bespangled, squaild-looking wretch, who made her living. 1 don't doubt, by capering about before the scum In the bar. They left oft when we came in, and then Jim fell to parleying with the woman, and a fine noise they made of It. "She thinks you're a mark.' 'said he to me In the middle of It. "give ua the twenty franc piece, and see if that will cool her." I handed him over the money and they got to work again. This time the woman took It different, and when I'd whispered to him to promise her twen ty francs more when we were through, she left off talking of a sudden, and led us down some dark stairs to a stink ing kitchen,, where I wouldn't have housed a dog. Two minutes after, we were out In the back yard, and she had left us. "Now." said Jim. "we're the better for wanting her. though she's a wonderful woman when you take her right. The fact is, she's just as crazy as the others about the house yonder, and Is half afraid of having anything to do with us. but ' she's lent me the steps, and that's all I care a crack about." It was raining cats and dogs now, and bitter cold, but we were both ex cited by what we'd come to do, and didn't feel It more than the touch of a feather. For my part, I'd thought lit tle of the danger up to that time, but when I stood out In thaf dark yard and looked up to the black shape of a win dowless and prison-like house, I must say that I got a shiver through me. "Jim," said J, "two's not many for a Job like this. Did you bring your pis tol ?" "I did so." he whispered, "you don't find me going far without It In Paris. Will you go first, or shall I?" "You go," said I, "since you know the way. I'm on your heels though what you're to see through that wall I'd like to learn." "There's a window on the lower story," cried he, "but keep your mouth shut, nnd tread light." Saying this, he went up the steps, and I followed him. I have made It clear, I think, that the cabaret, or beer-shop, of whatever you like to call It, stood back to back wth the house we'd come to inquire about.- There was only a yard and a high wnll be tween them, but at the end of this "My Nerves Twitched Like Woman's and Jim Waa Not Whit Better." yard, and Jambed up against the wall waa a shed for lumber, so built that when you set the steps on its roof you could put your Angers on the top of the bricks above and haul yourself up. It didn't take Jim and I a minute to do this, and once astride the wall, we had bur first view .of the 'Malson d'Or. I muBt say, and I always have said, that there waa something uncanny In the very look of that house. Its heavy, blackened shape seemed to rise up like the shape of a dead-house or a prison. Many of Its lower windows were heav ily barred with Iron bars. The paved yard around It was reeking with filth and rubbish. No sound, no light came out of it. It was just a great mass of brickwork looming up In the darkness, and I could understand easily enough bow all the wild tales about it had come to be told. Sitting there, astride on the wall, and peering at such .case ments as faced the back of the cabaret, I should have not have been a bit sur prised if I'd have seen some Inhuman thing stalking the yard below me. My heart was In my mouth my nerves twitched like a woman's. And Jim was not a whlt.betfer. "Do you make anything of It?" he whWpered, after we d "been on the wall a mlnuite or two. "The devil a bit," si Id I. "N ain't exactly a palace of varieties, Is It?" he continued a bit later, "butt Grey's In there right enough. - lit was through that mite of a window on your let that I got a slight of tihe place last n1M. There, was a light there then. I don't fancy we'll, do much tonight." "Nor me. neither," said I, for I was rtarht down scared, ahd chat's the fact of It. "Shall we try again tomorrow night?" saya he, and I couid see lie was in si hurry to be off. "We night a well, for all the good we're doing." said I. and with that I turned to put my foot on the steps again. A moment later I saw a thing which fairly touk my breath away. The window -whicti was dark had suddenly become light A man with a lamp in his hand passed it, and. follow ing ihim with quick steps, was no other than my master, Nicolas Steele. (To Be Continued.)

New Oreleans Is to have a new com plete system of sewerage, which la to cost about $8,000,000. It will take at least four or five years to complete the work. According to the annunl report of the mine Inspector of Ohio for 1894, nearly one-third of the coal produced In that state during the year was mined by machinery. In July there were In this country thirty-nine collisions, fifty-two derail ments and three other railroad acci dents, in which twenty-live persons were killed and seventy-six Injured. The most rapid growth in the exports of Japan Is In floor mattings, whinh now go to the United States and Ku rope In lots of 100,000 bales at a time. The second Increase Is In cotton rugs. A contract hus been awarded to the IMeneely Bell company, of Troy, for placing a peal of bells aggregating 22, 700 pounds In the tower of the new city hall and court house of 'Minneapolis, ,Mlnn. A San Francisco stage carpenter, Pnul llrelenstein by name, has Invented a boat, the only motive power of which is the waves. The higher the waves th. greater the speed of the craft Is said to be. It Is estimated that 30 per cent, of the Iron manufactured by Tennessee is sold outside of the southern states. It Is said to be the favorite Iron with pipe, plow and stove makers in the east and north. The coal shipments over the Reading railroad last week were 285,431 tons, an increase of 32,717 tons over the same week last year. For the fiscal year to date the shipments are 9,567,905 tons, an Increase of 822,274 tons over the pre ceding year. The advance in steel billets to $22.50 renders it practically certain that an other advance will be mnde in steel rails, which are now selling at $24. When the present movement started In iMarch billets were selling at $14.75 against $22 for steel rails. Cpxe Bros. & Co. have Issued orders to put their Tomhlcken colliery In readiness to start up by iScpt. 15. This colliery lias been Idle for eighteen months and the people in that vicinity hail the announcement with Joy. Will iam Jones has been appointed to su perintend the colliery. A dispatch from New York yester day says: "A fair business is reported in the anthracite trade on about $3 f. o. b. basis of stove. The views of pro ducers are very firm, and any further Increase in business Is expected to lie met with higher prices. There is a clearly defined feeling that there will be no permanent improvement until the Heading reorganization plan Is an nounced." The Lehigh Valley railroad Is plan ning a new route for its line, which will make unnecessary the use of twenty six miles of New York Central track between Batavia and Tonawanda. To accomplish this the Lehigh Valley pro poses to extend the Depew and Tona wanda railroad, which It owns, from Depew to Tonawanda, a distance of ten miles. This new route will enable the Lehigh Valley to use Ita own lines to Suspension Bridge, with the excep tion of that part of the New York Cen tral between Tonawanda and Snspen Blon Bridge. All business between Sus pension Bridge and Buffalo can lie handled by the Lehigh under this new arrangement without the delay hitherto attendant on business over the New York Central tracks. 'WllkesnBarre 'Record: The Red Ash Coal company's two collieries on the mountain back of Georgetown, which combined employ nearly 800 men and boys, shut down Tuesday and will re main so till further notice. These col lieries have been In operation about twelve years and never have suspended for any length of time. The stispen slon Is expected to cover the whole of September and possibly longer. The Philadelphia Inquirer says that the reports that a plan has been formu lated for settling the anthracite coal differences are pronounced to be abso lutely without foundation. The Idea rntertajned In New Yorlt Is that Presi dent 'Roberts, of the Pennsylvania, has proposed to J. P. Morgan that a new allotment of percentages be made and a commissioner appointed to Bee them carried out, a money pool being estab lished into which roads shipping less than their quotas shall be paid. A cen tral selling agency Is another part of the plan. iMr. Roberts Is out of the city and has been for some time, but no plan of this kind Is known here. It has not been proposed to the largo com panies In this city nor to at least some of those in New York. The Idea Is be lieved to have originated In the minds of Wall street speculators, as some fea tures of the plan are known to be con trary to the views of Mr. Roberts has always entertained about the anthra cite trade. It Is possible, however, that some effort will be made this fall to ad just the differences In the trade. Gilmore's Aromatic Wine A tonic for" ladies.

Withdrawals of $1,700,000 gold from the suli-treasury for export to Uurope in fused the reaotionlsts with fresh cour age and they made efforts In various parts of the list to bring about liquida tions, but without any success to speak of.

A Professional Nurso Afflicted with Brlght's Disease of tho Kidneys Finds a Cure. (From the Buffalo News.) Mrs. A. K. Taylor has resided in Buffalo for over forty years; her address la 250 Herkimer avenue; as a professional nur.se she has nursed back to health many a suf ferers Disease in all its varied forms have become as familiar to her as to the regu lar practitioner. Her occupation Is one that taxes the strongest constitution, but the fatigue of long watching and nurs ing at last brought her to a bed of sick ness. Mrs. Taylor speaks of her com plaint and cure as follows: "After belnu confined to my bed for some time my dis ease assumed such a serious aspect that a doctor was called. He pronounced my ailment Brlght's disease of the kidneys In the third degree and a very bad case. My limbs swelled up so that I could not wain across the floor, or. Indeed, help myself In any way. My face bloated up and my eyes swelled so that the sight was badly Im paired. This condition continued for near ly two months without any marked im provement from the doctor's treatment. I have taken quarts of buchu and Juniper. I tried battery treatment, but all with out any lasting benefit until I felt liko Anally giving up In despair. Hearing cf Doan's Kidney Pills I gave them a trlul, and after taking three boxes I was able to get up without assistance and walk, something I had not dono In months. I continued steadily to improve with their use. The swelling In my leg left, tho color returned to my face, changing from a chalky color to a healthy bloom. I now consider myself entirely cured and I shall never rest praising the little pill that saved me. "Doan's Kidney rills are certainly a surprising discovery for kidney aliments. I shall be glad to tell anyone of the won derful cure they performed on me." For salo by all dealers price 60 cents. Mailed by Foster-Milburn-Co., BulTalo, X. Y sole agents for the U. S.
