FOUL PLAY.| ee a

y Charles Reade. tg CHAPTER LXITI.

Next morning, after a sleepless night, Nancy Rouse said to Mr. Penfold, ‘Haven’s [ heared you say as bank-notes could be traced to folk ?

‘Certainly, madam,’ said Michael; ‘but it is necessary to take the numbers of them.

| ‘Qh! And how do you do that ? | ‘Why, every note has its own number,’

‘La ! ye don’t say so; then them fifties ‘are all numbered, belike.’

‘Certainly, and if you wish me to take ‘down the numbers, I will do so.’

‘Well, sir, some other day you shal]. J could not bear the sight of them just yet; ‘for it is them as has been the ruin of poor | Joe Wylie, I do think.’ | Michael could not follow this; but, the question having been raised, he advised her, jon grounds of common prudence, not to | keep them in the house without taking down their numbers.

‘We will talk about that in the evening,’ said Nancy.

Accordingly, at night, Nancy produced

the notes and Michael took down the num-

bers and descriptions in his pocket-book. They 1an from 13,444 to 16,463. And he promised her to try and ascertain through what hands they had passed. He said he had a friend in the Bank of England, who might perhaps be able to discover to what private bank they had been issued in the first instance, and then those bankers, on a strong representation, might perhaps exam- ine their books and see to whom they had paid them. He told her the notes were quite new, and evidently had not been separated since their first issue.

Nancy caught a glimpse of his meaning, and set herself doggedly to watch until the person who had passed the notes through the chimney should cume for them,

‘He will miss them,’ said she ‘you mark my words.’

Thus Helen, though reduced to a stand- still herself, had set an inquiry on foot which was alive and ramifying.

In the course of a few days she received a visit from Mrs. Undercliff. That lady came in, anc laid a prayer-book on the table, saying, ‘I have brought it you back, miss; and [ want you to do something for my satisfaction.’

‘Oh, certainly,’ said Helen. it?

‘Well, miss, first examine the book and the writing. Is it all right ?’

Helen examined it, and said it was.

‘Indeed,’ said she, ‘the binding looks fresher, if anything.’

‘You have a good eye,’ said Mrs. Under- cliff. ‘Well, what I want you to do is—. Of course Mr. Wardlaw is a good deal about you ?’

‘Yes.’

‘Does he go to church with you ever.’

‘No.’

‘But he would, if you were to ask him.’

‘I have no doubt he would; but why?

‘Manage matters so that he shall go to church with you, and then put the book, down for him to see the writing, all in a moment. Watch his face and tell me.’

Helen colored up and said: ‘Ne; I can’t do that. Why, it would be turning God’s temple intoa trap! Besides——’

‘The real reason first, if you please,’ said this horrible shrewd old women.

‘Well, Mr. Arthur Wardlaw is the gentle- man I am going to marry.’

‘Good Heavens!’ cried Mrs. Undercliff, taken utterly aback by this most unexpect- ed turn. ‘Why, you never told me that!’

‘No,’ said Helen, blushing. ‘I did not think it necessary to go into that. Well, of course, it is not in human nature that Mr. Wardlaw should be zealous in my geod work, or put himself forward; but he has never refused to lend me any help that was in his power; and it is repugnant to my nature to suspect him of a harm, and to my feelings to lay a trap for him.’

‘Quite right,’ said Mrs. Undercliff ; ‘of course I had no idea you were going to marry Mr. Wardlaw. | made sure Mr. Penfold was the man.’

Helen blushed higher still, but made no reply.

Mrs. Undercliff turned the conversation directly. ‘Myson has given many hours to Mr. Hand’s two letters, and he told me to tell you he is beginning to doubt whether Mr. Hand is a real person, with a real handwriting, at all.’

‘Oh, Mrs. Undercliff! Why, he wrote me two letters! However, I will ask Mr. Penfold whether Mr. Hand exists or not. When shall I have the pleasure of seeing you again?’

‘Whenever you like, my dear young lady; but not upon this business of Penfold and Wardlaw. I have done with it for- ever; and my advice to you, miss, is not to stir the mud any more.’ And with these mysterious words the old lady retired, leaving Helen deeply discouraged at her desertion.

However, she noted down the conversa-

A Heroine’s Death.

Beryl Hopkins, the heroine of many a Chicago J'ribuive rcemance, is dead—drowned in the mad waves of the Cincinnati food. Ere she died, however, she performed a feat of heroism in saving two lives, for which, no doubt, a monument’ will be erected to her memory. The story of her tragic end is told by the Tribune as fol- lows:—"'The black waters sweep by in a maddening rosh, hissing and seething as they go, as if ther weird voices were in ac- cord with the dreadful scenes around them, Cincinnati is inundated. For days and days the waters have been rising—slowly, it is true, but each succeeding night hae ceen the uncanny monster that seeks to destroy the city, draw nearer. Two young men, Gaston and Victor- stout young followers of the type, one sees so often among the peasantry of Brittany, but with features that show refinement—are standing at one of the upper windows of a bnilding that has not yet succumbed to the flood. But iis time of destruction isat hand. Victor raises

his head. Coming swiftly toward them is a beantiful girl. Sheis drowning. Gaston shrieks again. ‘It is Beryl!’ he cries.’ ‘Beryl Hopkins, my betrothed! As he

shouts the name of Victor the wind bears his voice to the girl, and she recognizes her lover. With the sight all her strength seems to return, ‘Thank God,’ she ex- claims, in clarion tones, ‘I can save you, although I myself must die,’ and by a mighty effort she plunges one hand beneath the waters. In a moment it reappears, grasping something which, as ske sinks for the last time beneath the waters, the noble girl hurls through the window at which Gaston and Victor are standing. Five minutes later the building has sunk beneath the seething torrent, but Gaston and Victor are safe—floating down the stream in a craft which no storm, however severe, can wreck, (aston sits in its stern, guiding its course, while Victor slept peace- fully under the bulwarke. She had thrown them her overshoe.”

The Cathedral of Chihuahua.

THE MOST NOTABLE ARCHITECTURAL EDIFICE IN AMERICA,

The Cathedral City, as this State Capital is named, has very little of conspicuous interest unasscciated with yonder great piece of architecture, which, so thickly shrouded in snow to-day, has no equal in architectural view on the Western Hemi- sphere. It has its history. That history is associated with the Santa Eulalia mine, which, up to 1829, or the date of the ex- pulsion of the Spaniards from Mexico, has yielded $275,000,000. The grand cathedral was constructed by a tax forced on the mine of one real, or twelve and one-half cents, out df each mare, or every $8, by order of the Royal Government of Spain. The edifice cost $1,000,000. Doubtless another $250,000 was contributed by the people in jabor and material. It would require $3,500,000 to erect it in our time. The corner-stone was laid in 1715.

Architecturally, a grand cathedral stands peerless, as far as magnificently symmetri- cal proportions are to be regarded in America. The great cathedral of the City of Mexico covers more ground, Still, in design, attractions of harmonious blending of three schools of architecture, it is a blunt and bungling and unsightly piece of work compared with’ this master- piece of Cristoval de Villa. He passed more than half of his business life construct- ing this great church. The design is the tripartite schools of Corinthian, Doric and Ionic. The rear or great dome end, which faces the west, has a width of 1334 feet. The front on the grand plaza, crowned by the twin towers, has a width of eighty- five feet. The audience capacity of the large auditorium is 6,000 people. The principal or front facade is elaborate in the Doric school of architecture. It is faced with elaborately carved columns, in- terspersed among which are the statues of the twelve apostles and San Francisco de Azis, patron of the structure. —Chihuahua Correspondence, Kansas City Times.

ES A + Pe A Hundred and Five Years of Age.

A brigand who lives to see his one hun- dred and fifth birthday has certainly a better right than most exceptionally long livers to call himself a lucky man, since, in addition to all the manifold accidents of existence here below his days might have been cut short by the law of his country. According to a local French paper, Yves Conedie, who has just died near Cannes, at the age of one hundred and five, having passed the latter years of his life ip “re- spectable retirement,” was one of the leaders of those bands of chauffeurs who, by their lawless deeds, spread terror throughout the country during the Direc- tory. At the period of the wars of a Vendee he started in his adventurous career, and later, on arriving at Chartes in quest of his young wife, who had fied from the conjugal domicile, taking with her all theymoney she could lay her hands on, he joined a band of chauffeurs who were then terrorising the locality. Amongst other of his exploits, it is recorded of him that, having discovered his wife’s retreat, ‘he flayed her alive,” and the leader of the | bandits to which he belonged being exe- cuted, he assumed his place, and carried off a Government commissary who was in-

‘into it, and Helen was compelled to busy| strumental in causing the brigand chief to herself in household arrangements.
