Having reached the gallery, Sir Richard turned to the visitor: “But a poor collection, I fear, Mr. Wilton." They paced slowly along the polâ€" ished floor.

I forget the exact de« tails, but the iinpostor enjoyed the fruits of his fraud. a large estate. until the day of his death. He would have been buried under his assumed title. but remorse compelled him to coniess at his last hour. The rogue confessed also that he had ne- ver enjoyed a happy moment during all his years of wrongful possession."

Thank you.’ For though his own face was no less ghastly than hers and showed evidence of a terrible shock, Caryl Wilton had not delayed to open the window and to return to Maida with a chair. She was going to sink piti- fully into it, when she caught, sight of his white. distorted face. A look of startled inquir3 shot in-Z to her 0308, and was instantly dis- placed bv one oi indignant. horror. i She .ealized in an instant that her ' weakness at that moment must have roused the suspicion in his mind that she had committed the awful crime of murder in order to gain the place she held in Ilartl‘eigh Hall. She straightened herself. without having touched the chair, and put them ,both aside, with an air of queenly { pride. “Thank you." she said; “it, was only a. momentary weakness. I sup- pose murder is hardly a subject to discuss before a woman. Indeed, I could suppose that. a gentleman might find it difficult to even think’ 0! it in the company of a lady.” She cast a glance full of scorn and defiance at Caryl, who was too quick to comprehend her mpods to misunderstand .her meaning,‘ as he ansyered apologetically: ' “It is possible to dread for a mo- ment what it would be impossible ever to believe, even in the {ace of seeming certain evidence." “My darling!" exclaimed Sir Rich- ard in a shocked whisper, for it was he and not.

A...- _ n n n - In a few minutes they came to the entrance of the small gallery at the end of the corridor where the family portraits hung. Here a small corri- dor led to Maida’s room. With a bow to Caryl Wilton, she was turn- ing away on her father's arm. when suddenly. as if obeying an impulse, she stopped, and turning back, said, quickly but quietly: _â€"""C6iné,‘then. Miss wmul," said Sir Richard, fondly, and they entered the gallery. . “No: it is 'too warm in my room. and I am quite well now. I would rather go on with you. papa, for it is cool here." v Caryl Wilton halt closed his eyes in the style of a connoisseur and looked up at the first portraitâ€"a belted knight in armor, with his ch‘arger by his side and his squire in the back- groundâ€"and Sir Richard began the catalogue. Caryl seemed deeply in- terested, gazed. criticised, and ad- mired; shading his eyes and stepping this way and that to get the best light, and appearing to have forgot- ten the fair presence by his side. j‘And yet. this is the shoxjtest way to your roomâ€"for you ought to rest. dear. Your exertions of test night. have been too much for you." “Well,' I will go, to please you," she murmured, and they passed on. ‘And she seemed as unconscious of him. But both were like a pair of wary antagonists in the arena. wait- ing for the decisive moment which each knew was coming, and which each was preparing to turn to his advantage. Little by little they were approach- ing the pictures of the later Hart- leighs, and presently. by all rules. they would come to the portrait of Lady Ilartleigh. This Caryl said to himself. That portrait would be the likeness of the old lady he had seen in San Francisco ifâ€"if Waida Car- ringford were in truth the rightful Constance I-Iartleigh. In a few mo- ments, he told himself that part of the mystery would be solved. For. though the, portrait of Lady Hart- leigh would have been made many years ago. it would, nevertheless, be sufficiently like the same person in old age to enable him to recognize her. lle longed to turn and look for the portrait at once. but he repressed the impatient desire. and followed the old man’s words with every ap- pearance of deep interest. He forced back every sign of impatience from his face. and furtively glanced at the face of Maida. She was pale. but there was an utter absence of emo- tion on her features; and to him. who by this time had learned to know her moods, this indicated the exercise of her greatest will power. He knew that she was prepared for the impending contest. lle felt that he was being cruel. but he told him- self that he must conquer or give up the prize. Sii‘ Richard. in his absorption, no- ticed nothing wrong with his com- panigns, and rambled blandly on: “Here we come to the men and women of a later date, Mr. Wilton. A din‘erence, but not of face.

"That shall be the crowning point of the gallery Mr. Wilton. I have not forgotten it. It shall be done. and soon. It shall hang next Guy." Cazyl bowed and turned to Maida. with a smile which she had learned to d: cad. "I would like to ask a. great fa- vor of Miss Hartleigh." "A favor? And what is it?" do- manded Sir Richard.

She had defeated him once but the victory had been a sore one to her, and she felt as if she had utter all, accomplished but little. so imperturbable was he: _She felt that turning with a. ‘11th We to lg- (brim n " ray 0 not think me presump- tuous enough to Imagine tint I can paint anything fitto tolung health: than magtorpleees.

I want a portrait in my room â€"one I can claim as my own. What. do you say. Constance?" A faint flush passed over her face as she found herself obliged to de- cide a matter which she had no doubt was in some way a trap for her; but she recovered herself. and with a return of her defiant glance looked straight into Caryl's eyes. and answered: “It you think it worth the trou- ble.00 And his reply was. with an eager light in his dark eyes: “And my first sittingâ€"when?" “Oh. we'll discuss that at lunch- eon, Mr. Wilton," said the old man. “I wonder where Guy is." “I hear his step now." said Maida. And, in fact. Guy came bounding into the room. as it unaware any- body was in it. He stopped short at sight of the group. and his frank face darkened when he saw Caryl Wilton standing by Maida, looking down into her eyes with a smile of conscious strength. Then Caryl looked up. and it seemed to Haida. glancing from one face to the other, that she could see the two men measuring each ,other, for an impending contest. And she thought she sawâ€"and she shuddered as she saw itâ€"that Caryl Wilton turned from Guy to her with a look of certainty in his whole manner. A Fat Loss Noisy Place Thu: Its Old-Time Predecessor. “As compared with the old-time shop, with its incessant clatter and din." says a shop superintendent. “the modern machine shop might. al- most bc described as noiseless. “You used to hear in such places a constant rattling of wheels and a more or less continuous pounding. Now you might go through a big shop from top to bottom and never hour a hammer stroke ; and instead of a general jangle of sounds you would only hear a smooth, uniform hum ; a noise, to be sure. but not half so much in volume as that heard in the okhthne shop, and actually musical as compared with it. All this is due to vastly im- proved modern methods of work and enormously improved modern ma- chines. THE MODERN MACHINE SHOP. “In old times they used to chip and file all flat surfaces. You can imagine what sort of racket such work as that must have made. Then we got the metal planer, which did the work better and, of course, at far less cost. and which gradually did away with most of the chip- ping and filing. The planer can screech some now ; but that doesn't begin to make the noise it used to. and the noise it does make is not to be compared with that of the chippers and filers. “The old-time gear wheels were far more rnttly and noisy than those of to-day. Extensively used in maâ€" chine shops in one way and another, such wheels were formerly all cast. Nowadays gear wheels for use where such accuracy is desirable, are mode by automatic gear-cutting,r machinw. which cut the teeth on them with mathematical accuracy. Such wheels as these are themselves beautiful productions of machine tool work ; and when they come to be brought to use they make, of course, with their perfect form and their nice ad- justment. one to another. far less noise than the old-time ordinary cogged wheels. “Another common source of noise in the old-time shop was found in the pounding of work of any sort that was to be turned on arbors in the lathes. There is nothing of that sort. or next to nothing, done in machine shops nowadays, that is. in the shops with modern equipment. Such work is pressed on tho arbor, noiselessly. with a compound screw ; or by hydraulic power ; or by steam power ; the work being pressed 00‘ the arbor. when finished, in like manner. A-..

' ' FARM LAnomsits‘ w SWEDEN. There is a special class of farm laborers in Sweden who are given so many acres of land for their own use in consideration of so many days' labor during the year for the owner of the farm. They are a sort of fixture to an estate. and their like exists in no other country. ” CRUEL PARENTS. A girl in Italy. aged eighteen.

MI ‘0‘ chlmnc)" It it committal It Dumont. the young Frenchman Who In! just invented o. steerable airship. were a. Briton. he would be entitled to a prize of 660.000. be. sides his own profits. He would have won the “Melton Payne" award and a committee would now be set- tling up the conditions prior to haggling _h_im the money. _v "â€"vvvv When Melton Payne. the famous amateur aeronaut died. he left a leg- acy 01 860.000 in trust for the first. British subject who should invent a practicable navigable airship. The prize has been tried for unsuccessful- 1y by over a dozen men. and a good many thousands spent in the pro- cess. The nearest to success was Captain Green's attempt. which end- ed. however, in the serious accident to the inventor at Exeter, when collapsed. A committee of experts is to be chosen to decide on the genuineness of any airship; and it is said that. strictly. the machine has to be heav- ier than air. and not floated by a gas balloon. and. if that is so. even Dumont's vessel would be barred. There will be a good many tumbles before that 860.000 is won. There is $15,000 a year for life. and the residue to your heirs. wait- ing for you, if you are anything of a peacemaker. That is the prize oi- !ered by an eminent Swedeâ€"Mr. Ed- mond Neillssenâ€"to anyone who shall be instrumental in persuading the Powers to give up War for good and all. and do away with armaments of every kind. It will take a great or- ator with very strong and original views to bring this 01!, and, accord- ing to rules. he must persuade Rus- sia, Great Britain, France. Germany. Austria. and Italy to do away with all soldier and sailor men. except the BODYGUARDS OF THE COURTS. Nothing is put in about the other nations, who would trcsumably fol- low suit. A good many men have had a try for this result, the one nearest the mark being a famous London jour- nalist. But they didn't succeed. and it looks as if that 815.000 would look for a claimant for a very long time yet. It is worth noting that the money which is held in trust is all in British Government bonds When Mr. Neillssen dies. the money is to remain in trust till somebody wins it, no matter how long hence. There is a certain $5,000 a year, outside all personal protits. standing ready {or the man who finds a gen- uine cure for consumption.

The Bean award amounts to $175.- 000 in Government stock. lle left this legacy in trust, to be awarded to any British subject who may dis- cover a cure that is considered gen- uine by a committee of the College of Physicians and the British Medi- cal Council.
