CHAPTER XKXIT

(Continued.)

Miss Facst led the way with n. swift', gliding step, strangely incongruous with -her decrepit figure and white hail , . They entered-the bed-chamber, which, as Hazard had conjected, conuectured with the tile boudoir in which he had seen the yellow haired Sphinx. Miss Faust then throw open a large armoirc, revealing- beautiful evening dresses hanging inside. Sue took on b one of pale-biue French crope, and gave it to Xildee. The girl quickly di vested herself of the Irishwoman's sack, and pub on the delicate blue dress. It was too large in the waist; she dexterously lapped it over and pinned it; it was too loner in front; she skilfully caught it up at either side, and pinned the loops so as to make them seem inten tional folds. The length behind did not matter, it only added a little to- the trailing volume of delicate lace-edged frills. She caught up her basket, took out some thing, and stepped to the mirror. In a trice her short, dark curls were covered with a wig of flowing golden hair—she had worn it last on the stage. She opened the box of fine French powder she had brought and made her face white as a cherry blossom. Then she hid the darkness of her delicate eyebrows by a golden paste and turned to Miss Faust. " A blonde at your service," she said with a little smile and bow meant to be reassur ing. 'The peal of a bell camo faintly to their ear?. " They are here," cried Miss Faust: " oh, God help me! Why did not Heathcliff come ?"' "He will be here presently, no doubt. Ah, let us be brave, dear lady. Let us carry it off boldly. Go down to your room and meet them. I will be in that room where t.ho spies saw the fugitive lady. Docs this door lead to it? No, no, do not come with me. Go down at once." Old Caleb had lighted his pipe and seated himself in the chimney-corner to enjoy his '•night-cap smoke" and to meditate over the 'straiiireuessi of the fact that a woman had to-night given the open sesame to the Red Honse—tho password that had never, during the seven years of his janitorship, been ° uttered by anyone besides his [mistress's business manager, Ira Heathcliil. ' ; Once in seben years things allers takes a turn," he muttered. A clang of the gate-beil caused him to start it]). "Tain'fc MrHeathcliff's ring,' he mut tered. Clang, clang !—a quick, impatient peal. The short-stemmed pipe fell from Caleb's ■ mouth. " Open in the name of the law." _ The sight of tho buttons ami " billies ' o. two city guardians operated as potently as the muzzle of a pistol would nave done. The iron gate swung open and a deputy sherifr, Hazard Hall and two policemen entered. The two latter had been engaged alternately in watching the Red House during the past twenty-four hours. " Not a soul has left the house," they re-, ported to .Hazard, "except that sooty, surly waich-dog the nigger. Ho hobbled out in the morning, locked the gate behind him and came back in about an hour, rsota half hour ago, an old woman went in—a common Biddy-looking body, hi a long sun bonnet, with a basket on her arm. She sin there yet." . ~ " Missis will be scared out of her wits, thought Caleb as he opened the front-door for these unwelcome night visitors. They followed him along the hall. "Name o' peace, who kin it be?" he ex claimed, and he made his way to tho gate as fast as his unequally matched legs could take him. His dismay was great on beholding tour man at the gate and hearing their demand : " Miss Faust is here in her room," and he rapped on the door. The knock was promptly responded to. The posse entered. The mistress of the Ked House rose as thoy came in. She was richly dressed in black silk, relieved with tine white lace. In spite of her disfigured face and deformed shape, there was something impressive, attractive in her bearing-a majesty—a mystery. . "To what do I. owe this unexpected visit ?" she asked. The- deputy stepped forward and handed her the legal permit to search her house and premises, founded on the declaration of one Hazard Hall that to the best of his belief, the criminal, Mrs Moiitcalm, was concealed therein. Hazard, leaning against the door and watching the lady closely, detected a tremor of the silvery veil that fell over her face, but when she spoke her voice was controlled. Its keen, harp-like note (foreign of accent) was accentuated by

sarcasm. " I suppose I ihusb yield to the majesty of the law, which authorises this intrusion at the instigation of—" Her eyes ran over, the group and rested upon Hazard. He bowed in his half-mocking way, but fn spite of his self-assurance he felt uneasy under the quiet irony of her manner. " Perform your task, sirs,' she said, with a wave of her hand. '' Search the premises, search the house from bottom to top. You shall have the keys to every room, every closet Get them," she said to the negro woman, whom she had summoned by a touch of a bell on the table beside her. # The officer received the bunch ot keys in his hand. He looked a trifle sheepish as he turned away. Hazard was glad to leave the presence of Miss Faust, > "Come at once to the secret boudoir, he cried, springing up the. stairs. " I can iindit, I know. It is likely we need not search any further. She will be found there or in the adjoining .bedroom." They followed him up into the fairway into the wide upper corridor, lined with rooms on either-side. They turned to the left, passed down the hall, treading lightly on the soft carpet, at a sign from Hazard, and entered the last room at the rear. It •was vacant. There was a door in the right hand corner of the room. . They found the key and opened the door. It admitted them into a semi-detached portion of the house, which, seen from the outside, had a tower-like appearance. It had a trap roof, and consisted of two rooms in each story, litted with large, long windows, guarded by Venetian blinds and jalousies. The room they entered was a bed-chamber, furnished in pearl colour and gold, and seeming a fit nest for beauty. Hazard gave a quick glance around, saw the open armoire, stepped to the dressing-case and picked up a hair-pin Kildee had left, saw the box of perfumed powder, a toilet-bottle exhaling jasmine odour, and a knot of pale ribbon. " Eureka !" he cried; " the bird is close by* here are some of its feathers; come." He darted to the door of the otherroom— the boudoir where the blonde Mystery Jiad received her visitor at this house. '"■ opened ,thfi dqqr softly; A woman stood with her "back to him,; idly pujljng the petals of ft rose that swung its creamy censer from a porphyry Vase. She was dressed in blue, a mass of golden hair was. caught up above hw white neck by a pin, irJiOstf daflger-elwped 'aamUe was studded

with pearls. "Ib is she," he said below his breath. Ho recognised the dress, the hair, the pearl-studded dagger-pin. The three other men had entered noise lessly. One of them coughed; the lady turned. She gave a start of surprise ; then she raised herself haughtily erect. "'How dare you intrude into this room ? she demanded. " Who are you ? Robbers?"

"No," answered Hazard. "Wo came to carry out the law, nob to break it. We are armed with a warrant, to arrest Mrs Laura Montealm on the charge of murder." Ho had fully expected fco see lier tui/n livid; to hear her shriek, drop on her knees, and bog for mercy. She did nothing of the kind, h'ho only arched her brows in scornful .surprise. "Indeed! and did you expect to find Mrs Montealm hero? Now 1 know that you are no' robbers, but escaped luna tics."' Hazard turned-in bewilderment to the oflicer. "Is nob this Mrs Montealm?" he asked. "It certainly is nob," eaid the other, emphatically ; " barring the yellow hair and the white skin and the way she carries her head, she is no more like Mrs Montealm than you are." '< It must be false !" cried Hazard ; "it must be. You never knew the woman. Speak, you two," turning to the policemen, " you say you both knew Mrs Montealm ; is this not she ?"

"It is not," replied both in tho same breath. "Mrs Montealm was taller than this lady," added one of the men ; "and older-looking — not the same by a long jump, 1 can swear to that." "Of course you can," said the deputy. "If this is the woman you spied on, your reasons for suspicion fall to the ground ; and all we've got to do is to apologise and get out of here." Hazard was bitterly disappointed, bitterly mortilied. Defeat was hard for him to bear. "The devil!" he burst out, turning his back upon the woman in blue. " Apolo gise to her—& woman who hides from the fight of day and receives a hypocritical—" He stopped short. 'He had suddenly caught a view of Kildee's face and figure in the long mirror. Instantly, through the association of ideas, it flashed upon him who she was. Just so, in that blonde wig and a trailing blue dress, had she looked when he peeped into the stage dressing room at Kock Springs to say good-bye to her and saw her (in the mirror) dressed as tho Countess in the " Lover's Test." and waiting to bo summoned to the stage. As swiftly as tho recollection came he wheeled and looked straight into her face. " You are Kildee," he cried ; " you are Max's protegee." At his first words eho changed counten ance, but she quickly recovered herself. " I am Kildee," she said. " Max has been looking for you every where. Ho begged me to hunt for you here. I have found you, but it will not be pleasant for him to know lion:' , " What do you mean 1" faltered Kildee.

For tho first time she had a sense of tho construction that might bo put upon the position fhe had placed herself in through har loyalty to her friend.

Hazard smiled with a sad bitterness Suddenly his face darkened with a scowl.

" Ask that man," he cried. His eyes wore turned to the door Kildee looked around and saw Hoathcjlili'.

The mayor took in the scene at a glance

—.Hazard's scornful look, Kildee's burning blush —but he did not comprohond its im port, lie saw that KiUlco was troubled. " What do you mean by your presence here?" ho demanded, turning to Hazard. " I have heard from Mitts Faust why you came. You have failed in your object; why do you linger to annoy this lady V" Hazard Hall made a mock obeisance.

" We have failed of one object," he said, v but wo have succeeded in another. We oame thinking to secure a criminal and to unmask a hypocrite. We have failed in the one part of our purpose ; we have suc ceeded in the other. lam sorry because of this girl, whom I knew, but for you—" Heathcliil's face grew suddenly white and troubled. He comprehended Hazard's meaning. lie understood the wrong his little friend had done herself through her generous impulse to help him. And he had permitted it ;.innocently, it is true, but he felt the keen thrust of self-reproach. There was but ono way to remedy the wrong. He stepped to Kildoe'e side ; he took her hand in Ida ; he fixed his grave, stern eyea upon young Hall. "I pass over your contemptuous bark-, ing at me," he said, "not for your sake, however. But you shall not by your in sinuation insult this lady—my betrothed wife. Kotract that insinuation at once."

" Your betrothed wife '!'' Hazard ro poated the words in utter amazement. " Then you were playing the false to—" ".Silence, sir. I did not aak you to address another word to me. I demanded that you retract your implied insult to this lady—my intended wife.' Hazard Hall bit his lip till the blood came, in his effort to control his anger that boiled under tho cool scorn of HeathclifTß eye. But ho was not devoid of manli ness?.

" L do retracb," ho said at last, turning to Kildee. "Not at fcho command of that haugljty man, butfor your sake, litlle Kildee, 1 gladly take back any miplied detraction of you. Forgive me, and pardon niy in trusion here, Good-night." He bowed before the silent, statuesque girl and quitted' the room. The otl-crs followed. Kildee and Heathclin" were left in the Sphinx's boudoir. (To be Continued.)

WHAT IT IS MADE OF.

It is simply tho most wonderful remedy the world has ever seen for the immediate relief arid cure of rheumatism, neuralgia, ami all painful diseases. Its remarkable action has mystified doctors, delighted sufferers and dispelled the doubts of the most incredulous. Its virtues are praised by thousands all over the land, who have been rescued from years of suffering and torture with every species of i disease, and granted a new lease ot health and activity. When physicians have ecrtined to fcheir inability to cure rheumatism, neuralgia, ' and other very painful disorders bygivin- v,, : their patients to the stubborn claims of pro -1 tractod disease and possible death itself, the St. Jacobs Oil, by its iinprctounioiie [ merit, has gained in every instance yet, ' greater fame From its nhnwt magical ' influence over theso disease*, lhw remedy lias no uncertain or miraculous history ; its ' decided power resides in a peculiar volatile oil, carefully distilled from tho Pinus Sylvestris, and has been used and distri • buted for hundreds of years by the inhabi • tanbs of the Black Forest', a mountainous 5 and densely-wooded region in Baden and 1 Wurtemburg, Germany. The introduction of the St. Jacobs Oil into Australia has been } attended with the same distinguished results • as have ever characterised its employment - in America and Europe; and its adoption > as the national remedy for rheumatism, neuralgia, and all painful diseases ■ia 5 assured. When it is considered that this 1 wonderful pain-banisher and health-restorer 1 can be had at all drug stores for'such a I small sum, it appears as a matter of duty to every sufferer with rheumatism, neuralgia, ■ or kindred complaints to seek the relief • which St. Jacobs Oil cannot fail to give. '< Try it and you will be convinced.
