He carefully closed the opening from which ho bad emerged, nnd crept to ward the drooping figure by the table; then touched hi;n on the shoulder, Whecllug sharply around the baronet prang to bis feet, ghastly ud cat ering.

He sank limply into his seat. Love less and overwrought, covering his face with both hands, and shivering as at sight of a spectre. "Now, listen, ray noble braggart! Five, ten, fifteen years since, there lived a rich eld man and his grnud daughter. 8:19 was an only child, and an orphan weak and delicate, yet strong enough to come between her cousin and the Cr.e estate of Arn'.ey.

Ills fingers were twitching excitedly near a pocket. "I guarded well against that," came the prompt reply. "Then." thundered the baronet, whip ping out pistol, and levelling It point blank, "neither shall any one eo you depart alive;" There was 11 Cash, a deafening report. ery of rage aud pain, nnd a crash of something falling.

About elg'-it ('.ays later n cab drove swiftly along a borrow s.reet on the outskirts of the tDWti. Then Crew up abruptly before a detached house, meagre and unpretentious. The door of the vehicle burst open, and out jumped tho figure of a man, excited and active. Darting through tin gate, up the path, oud so to tin door, he brayed It lustily wltu Ills umbrella.

What be does not refer to, however, is that he made an Important appointment with me. which expired yesterday, and which, for some unaccountable reason, he failed to keep. At the time I guaranteed him a bad surprise If he was not there, and, as he Is a firm believer In ghosts, I somehow fancy be will be delighted to meet you, Ada. For which purpose. I therefore suggest that the three of us pay him n visit, which he ought to enjoy immensely!" But Sir Joseph Judson did not receive them. When they arrived nt Aruley Hall. It was In a state of great com motion. Alarmed domestics were ask ing eager questions of each other. Lights flashed from various windows, then vanished nnd reappeared some where else. I'.ooms were overhauled, the grounds explored and lakes dredged. But the baronet had gone, as If swallowed up by space, and a person answering to his description was afterward discovered In New York with his brains lying beside him and an empty pistol lu his bauds to show why. Yet the journey was not altogether fruitless. As Ada looked wonderingly about her. she became unusually dis turbed. The sight of the hall assisted to send n flood of hazy reminiscence surging Into her mind. Everything seemed strangely familiar. Ada Am- ley Ada Aruley the words danced mistily before her eyes. What did they mean? Ah, she knew her mem ory was restored Ada Aruley was her true name. And when. In the summer, the church bells rang out a merry peal In honor of her wedding, tho best nnd coolest man was a short, thin individual with a broken nose. New York News. Luis Lauehter Nowadays. A learned author has recently pub lished a treatise on that mystery of all tho ages, human laughter, aud we egret to find It Is his serious opinion that laughter Is dying out among civil- Isted peoples. Laughter, we nro told, Is caused by things which Illustrate something lu the nature of a defect. n failure to satisfy some standard re quirement, us that of law or custom, provided that It Is small enough to be viewed as a harmless plnything: or, u it Is said later on, something which falls to comply with a social require ment, yet is so trilling that we do not feel called upim to judge the shortcom ing severely. Starling with this axiom. Is It not posslbl.! that with tho advance of civilization and the general spread ing of culture among all classes the time must conn wheu there will be so very little "harmless Infringement of the norma!" that wa shall Oud our reives with nothing more to laugh nt than the tedious nuecdoles of out ancestors? Imaglca a world where everyone Is jur.t us p-trfect and normal as oue's self, and one Is constantly convinced of a hwghterless millennium. P.ul we cannot constrain ourselves to ngrco with the author that laughter Is dying out in this fashion. The vigor of laughter was to tho youth of the world; but the chuckles of middle life nnd the spreading smile of old age are as sincere expressions of merri ment as tho most boisterous laughter. London Globe. Teains Grafted on Iltcknrjr. The Charleston (S. C.) News nnd Courier cnlU attention to tho fact that lu Chester County In Its State they are grafting pecans on hickory sprouts. Such grafts grow nt the rate of five feet n year, while seedlings grow very slowly. It Is believed such grafts will begin to bear In four years, while seedling pecans will consumo twice that time in getting to productiveness. Nor Is this all. Seeding pecans are sub. Ject to attacks of "borers," while It Is assumed that hickory stock would be proof against such attacks. Alnbama is full of hickory sprouts, nnd If these sprouts can be turned Into pecan trees, a new source of Income will soon be come available.

It seems as If the piano had really "gone out" for good. It Is only in flat houses that It is heard often enough to worry sensitive ears, nnd where, a few years ago, every miss over six yenrs could thump distressingly from notes, now Ihe majority of girls tell one that they "do uot play tho piano." They play the harp possibly, bridge probably, golf surely, but the piano seems to be suffering from a siege of neglect nnd 11 mania for professional ism. A few old fashioned folks among us are beg.jtilng to reel that the reac tion has gone almost too far. No one, of course, wishes to see n re--turn of the days when every girl, de void o musical talent or not, was made to hammer out exercises and "pieces" on the long-suffering Instrument only. In most cases, to drop the whole thing with relief as soon ns she married. But It Is becoming quite a rare thing nowadays to meet the girl who van unpretentiously sit down nnd piny a pleasant tune, or accompany her own sweet, If small vole in sociable winter evenings at home, or with friends. We have semi-professional performers who can give exhibitions of fklil a good deal above the comprehension of tiie multitude; but the homely, unostenta tious, occasional player where Is sin? Very few gills who sing, either, soe.11 nble to accompany themselves. Sing lug Is quite a serious business with the damsels of to-day. They must have some one to accompany, and they must practise the songs with him or her be forehaud, nnd they must have a suit able room with polished floor and somebody to turn over the pages lje fore they will consent to delight our ears. In days now past every girl who sang. played her owti accompaniments as a matter of course, und did not al ways need music, either. The elaboration of the modern ac companiment may have something to do with the present state of affairs; old-time "uccoinpanlments" did not usurp the place of the melody, aud de mand (rymnastic displays of a high order from the player. But the grad ual decline of the piano has more to sny to the matter. The modern girl is so philanthropic aud committee-ridden nnd game-possessed that she bus no lime for anything Indoors. Aud per haps It's Just ns well. The old-fashioned girl who "played" was a trial as a rule. New York Commercial Adver tiser. Many Striking Veils. Che chiffon veil will have first place In milady's favor this summer, not only its a face covering, but also as a drape effect on hats. Wide hemstitched borders will play a prominent part among the chic veil ings of the coming season. Veils with an applied border of an other color are offered ns novelties, but are not likely to become generally pop ular. A border applied with strips of silk braid nnd another with lace medallions used to npply the border nre very re cent Ideas lu fancy veils, the latter beiu? somewhat more attractive of the two. Several rows of cat-stitching, form ing a heavy border, is still another of the new spring veilings to be used more particularly for hat draping. For the same purpos; veils with heavily embroidered edges are well to the fore. A notable feature of flip new velllags Is that the body of the veil Is left plain. All the ornameutatlon U confined to the border. Clr.ster effects nre the most striking among the latest mesh veils.

Fashion has ordained that for tho moment the so-called separata waists nre not so smart as wulsU made of the ir.atarlnl to match ths skirt and coat. Tliia decree should not be considered at all wheu economy has to be con 1, tilted, for a smart wnlst of sill:, chif fon or any material always looks well with coat aud skirt of cloth or novelty goods. With a waist of silk to match, howe-.vr. end with one of white or some light color, a marked und decided change may be made so as to give tho effect of having two or three gowns InstcaJ of one. In nuns' veiling or thin material, having a waist to match Is a good Investment, for the quantity required for a waist Is small, and the gown Is certainly smarter than when made with a waist of contracting ma terial. This rule applies to India sltks or taffetas, but still does not by any means end the fashion of separate waists. With a pretty, smart waist and a becoming hat, u woman rn" make her street gown do duty for the theatre, for luncheon, or for auy after noon entertainment, and a fashion which is such a boon to the economical will not he allowed to go entirely out. Evenlug gowns are not 0 necessity In muny parts of the country, but in coun try or city thore should bp some gown for evening wear. The trouble taken to ntaU; the change in the afternoon Is well repaid by the seuse of refreshment nnd the i-ausclousneKs of looking much better dressed.
