J3heta’sPouble By HELEN V. GREYSON. (Copyright, by Robert Bonner’s Sons.) . CHAPTER XIII. NEMESIS. A* Carlos Montori determined to find out where the girl Inez had gone in thecompany of a -stranger, he knew the only way to accomplish his object would be to follow the station-master’s advioe and make inquiries at Brent wood Park. Ho in that direction he bent his foot steps. Lingering around in the hope of seeing some of the servants whom he could question, he was finally re warded by the appearance of the but ler. Beckoning liim to come down to the gate, he stood awaiting his ap proach. “Wqll, sir?” asked the butler. “My man, would you be kind enough to ‘tell me where Miss Danton has gone? I wished to see her on impor tanfbusiness and was on my way here when I saw her, in the company of a stranger, get on a train. I must know hor destination in order to send a tele groin to her.” “Why, sir, she lias gone to reside with her grandfather, so Mr! Eric, told me, not five minutes ago. It soems that lie just learned of her existence, ‘and seut tho gentleman to take her to him. Tho place is known as Iiavens- moro. Yon have heard of it no doubt, "Oh, yes,” returnedCnrlos. "Here, my man, take this for troubling yon, You needn't mention that I inquired for Miss Danton, because Mr. Brent wood might think it strange I didn't make my inquiries of him, but the fact in I have. no time to lose, so I asked tho first one I saw, and that was you." «*.“Yes, sir, I understand,” roturned the butler, an ho pockotod his foe. “Oood evening, sir." "By Jove!” ejaculated Monteri, as ho turned away to retrace his ntepB. "Itavensmerel Of course, I know where it is, nud have often heard it npukeu of, but I never once thought of oouncoting the names. 1 wonder how it all came about, anywny. Danton, of ltuvensuirro, grandfather of Breta Danton! Well, surely, Inez in play ing a bold game, Imt [ must have a finger in the [lie. Ho hero goos for my gripsack nud—Bavensmere." He quickened his footsteps, and upon reselling tho farm-house where ho had been boarding ever sinoe his advent to tho vicinity of Brentwood Park, lie packed his gripsack, paid his expenses to the woman who hail been kind enough to accommodate him, and ■wet out for tho station to inquire when the noift train stopped ‘there. Ho ■found that the next would not arrive for thirty minutes, so ho wandered around outside for a while, and llion seated himself in tho waiting-room. At last, to his grant satisfaction, for lie did not have an over-supply of pa tience, he found liijnself seated in tho oar bound for Bavensmere, not two hours behind Cecil Doniphan and his companion. Inez knew that he would find whore she had gone and would follow her, but she did not think he was so close on her track as lie’ was. He was tho one person whom she really feared. Ho had sworn to kill her, and sho felt that in the end he would keep his word if sho did not forestall him by turning tho tables on him. When he first made li ih appear ance at Brentwood Park she .thought her end had come, but for reasons' of his own he did not attempt to harm her. Perhaps ho bow a better way to revenge. . Beaching the neighborhood of Bavensmere, Carlos Monteri did not make his presence in the vicinity known to Inoz, but set out to look for lodgings at a convenient distance, saying to himself that he would wait several days until, she had gotten .set tled in her new position ns grand daughter to a wealthy old man. "Ah!" he murmured. “Here’s luck -for mo, certainly. And it’s time for something to turn up, for funds are not abundant just at present. As soon as I find n place to sleep I must write u letter to Nitn and tell her not to let her prisoner escape under any circum stances, ns if would ruin all my plnns. It will do’ the girl no harm to be locked up ns long as she*gets plenty to eat, but her incarceration will do me lots of good, or my nnuio isn’t Carlos Monteri.” He Hnnlly obtained a room nt tho Morning-Star Inn, and before retiring be penned the letter in question, so that he could mail it the first thing in the morning. His first intention was to stop at the house of the woman he called Nita and inform her of his movements; but he decided that ho could write to her after reaching his destination, which would do just as well as seeing aud speaking-to her, for she never dis obeyed his commands. % CHAPTEB XIV. ESCAPED. Bretn Danton had been an inmate in the house of tho woman Nita for a week, still she found no chance of making her escape. The door was always kept locked, and it was almost impossible to make an attempt to leave ,by way of the window, for there was no frieudly vine or portico to aid her in reaching terra flrma. Although the wornnn treated her kindly, it was natural that she should long for freedom and the protection of her mother’s friend. Several times sho had made np her mind to tear the bod-clothing into strips by whioh she might descend from the one window in the room. But tho woman kept so close a wntch on her that even at night she was afraid to attempt it lest she be caught in the act. Sho still hoped, however, that, tho woman wouldhe less watchful. What puzzled her most was why the man Cnrlos should lock her up in that house. What was his object, she asked horsolf again and again, and ntthe end of the week she was no nearer to a solution of tho nots of Mr. Carlos Monteri. than she had been when she awoke from the stupor when she was first brought there. But at loot, fate, or whnt you will, came to her aid. All day the atmos phere had been lioavy; hut when night approached, the clouds seemed to gather, into one solid mass, and what was feared came to pass. The clouds burst, and suoh thunder.and lightning! The woman Nita cowered back in corner, in fright at the wild war of the elements. At each peal of thunder she would shiver and cover her faoe with her hands to keep out the glaring lightning. But not so the girl confined in tho upper room. Although she was of i timid disposition, a storm had no ter vor for her. And now, Bhe told, hor solf, was the time to mako her escape, if possible. Tearing tho sheets of her bod into strips, site tied them together until she had what she thought enough to roaoh the ground. Wlmtevor noise sho made in hor preparations was drowned by the roaring of the Btorm outside. However, she raised the window oh cautiously as possible, and as she did so the cold rain dnshed in her face. But not heeding that, she securely fastened the impromptu rope to the old-fashioned post of the bed and then to the bureau, which stood near jhe window. Having done that, sho prepared to make the descent. It, would be useless to say that she was flllodwith misgivings as to tho success of hor dangorous attempt. “Will tho cotton bear my weight?” sho murmured to herself. "At any rate, this is my only chance of making my escape, nud I must make the most of it.” Climbing out on the sill, shogrnsped the lino and let herself down, while with difficulty she held on to the sill with one hand, half fonring to let go, lest tho cotton brenk and sho be hurled to dentil below. "Courage!” she murmured as sho slowly began the descent. As she found out that the cotton was strong enough to bear her weight, she felt less afraid of falling to tho ground bo- nenth her. She was half way downyhnn—snap! —went tho impromptu rope and Bretn Danton, in another instant, lay on tho earth beneath, breathless, stunned. For fully five minutes sho must have lain there, while the storm still raged and the rain dashed upon her, soaking her clothing. , Hlowly consciousness returned, nud with it the thought Hint she must hasten lest her osenpe from tho room bo discovered aud sho bo returned to captivity after her perilous attempt to gain lilerty. The fall and the effects of the vain Beamed to have shocked her nerves, and it was with difficulty she made her way from the vicinity of the house where she had been a prisoner. Him did not know which way to turn. Tho occasional streaks of light ning showed her nothing save trees on every side. Hurrying onward as fast ns Jier limbs would carry her, sho prayed that she might come in sight of some habitation wliero she could - seek slieltor until morning, but as hor steps became slower and slower, it dawned upon her that her strength was giving out, and that, lest sho obtained help soon, she iwould sink on tho sodden ground beneath her. Nevertheless, she went on and on, not regarding the fact that she was soakod to the skin by tho downpour ing rain which had not abated a par ticle since it first began. But at last she gave out. She could go no further. With a last effort to go onward, she sank on tho roadside with a moan. “Oh, Father in heaven! Must I die out here in the s^orm, after all? I cannot go any further—my strength has failed me. If I oould only have reaohed shelter before giving out-like this! Huvo I escaped from that house only to find death awaiting me? I feel so faint, and my head seems to be whirling. Oh, mamma! I nm com ing to you! I am dying, I feel it, I nm so cold—so cold and sleepy! I am coming, mamma, I—” The words sink into a moan, and Breta Danton lies still, with the storm raging around her, nud only the dark sky above her. Has her soul iudeod joined her mother’s? still figure, and bending over it, the' man Jock remarked; i "She's a beauty, and I see no mark ! of violence. I don’t believe she’! j dead.” j “Ah, no!” placing his hand on her yjf wrist. “Tho pulse is heating feebly. ' Hnud your flnsk over, and I’ll give liei a draught that’ll bring her around.” “What are you going to do with her, Jook? Take her to camp?" “Why not?” returned Jook. “Slie’i in no condition to leavd hero; and whe knows but there may be a rejvard out for her? Sho haR evidently run away from home. I thought at first Unit there had been foul play; hut there hasn’t. And she hasn’t been robbed, for she has her jewelry on. She hat either run away or been driven out. It remains to he found out which. She has a fine face, #nd I feel certain that she belongs to the upper class.” “Well, Jock, tho whisky doesn't seem to revive her.” “Her pulse is beating more rapidly. But come help me on my horse with her, and we’ll take her to the old wo men and have dry garments put on her. Why, sho must havo been lying out in the storm all night, for it has not rained since two o’clock, and she is soaked clear through.” Hnving placed her before him on his •horse, holding her limp form with one arm, they turned in the opposite direc tion from which they were going when they discovered her. They had not gone far, when they were met by a gentleman on horse back. Seeing the burden they were carrying, he cnlled out: “Hello, my men! What have you got there?” The mon halted, and the one who was unburdened doffed his hat. "A poor young thing we found half dead by tho roadside up yonder,” with a backward motion of his bend. “She was soakod clear through, and wo are going to take her to camp to boo what wo can do for her." Eric Brentwood, for it was he, drew his horse close up to that of Jook, and peerod into the lovely, white face of the uncoiiBoiouH girl, as sho reclined in the arms of the coarse-featured man who had found her. “How benntiful she is!” lie said, us a queer thrill passed through him —a feeling of divine pity for the help less girl who hail been oxpoeod to the fury of tho storm. You will call u doctor at once? questioned Erio. ‘The old woman is the boBt doctor hereabouts. Hho'U bring her around, sir." ’ I dnre say. But, my men, sup pose you bring her to tho park. It would he much inoro comfortable for the poor little thing there.” “The camp is near,” returned Jock, ‘and we’ll seo that she’s made com fortable.” GEORGIA STATE NEWS. WRECKED VESSELS NEW ENGLAND COAST. CHAPTEB XV. ERIC MEETS HIS FATE. “Hey, there, Jock! What’s that lying over there by the roadside?" called out a gruff voice. The man ad dressed as Jock turned his horse, and looking in the direction indicated by his companion, exclaimed: “By Jove! It’s a woman or a child. Come, let's investigate. A case of foul play, no doubt." Dismounting, they approached the “Well, bore, take this, and get whatever Bhe needs," passing him a crisp note. “I fed a great pity for her, and I’ll call around this evening and seo how sho is. ■ I wonder who sho is, poor child!” ngain gazing at tho 4ace that has awoke so strange a fooling in his henrt. It seemed as if lie could not tnko his gaze nwny from hor, bat he knew lie was detaining tho mon, so with a lust look at the beautiful profile, he con tinned oil his canter which he was wont to tnko early every morning. Aud that morning, after the rain the night be fore, tho air was so refreshing and in vigorating that Eric Brentwood had comci out even earlier than usual. As lie left tho mon with their beautiful charge, his heart was filled with strange emotions. Pity for the poor child, for ho could • seo that sho was not over eighteen, eonibinod with a fooling chat lie could not define. Only this—he longed to seo her again--to learn who she wns and Uow she became exposed to tho mercies of ro severe a storm as had raged the night before, “1 wish now,” he murmured, “that I had insisted on their taking her to the park, but they didn’t seem to care to relinquish her to my cure. ’ Why, I wonder? Surely that coarse-visaged gipsy hasn't fallen in lovo with her! if I thought that—but no; that surely isn’t it. However, I intend to keep a watcli over hor until her friends nre found, for there is no trusting those gipsies.” Lnte that eveniug, Erie Brentwood started out for tho gipsy camp. He mot the man called .jock outside, and uskod; “How is the young lady?” “Afraid she’s going to hnvo a spoil. Don’t seem to be sonsiblo any length of time.” “I would like to see her,” said Erio. “Well, sir, come in, as you wore so kind this morning.” Erio followed him into a tent, where an old crone was sitting, making a basket, and on a low cot reclined the figure of the young girl who had aroused such a strange interest in the heart of the master of Brentwood Pnrk. The old woman bowed to Eric as he entered, and pushed forward a lough woodeii stool for him to be seated, “Sit down, sir,” said Jook. “It’s tho nearest thing to chair that we have. ’’ He took the proffered seat close to the ooucli of the girl. As he did so, sho turned her head restlessly, and eye looked into his with a half-con- soious expression. Unconsciously she held out her hand, ns if in pleading, and Eric, see ing the movement, took it in his. “Who are you?” she asked in a low tone. • “My name is Brentwood—Erie Brentwood,” he answered, with a smile, ns he held her hand more close ly lest she would take it from him.

Spanker Little’s Tax Bill. A comprehensive statement of the plan ami purposes of the tax bill in troduced by Speaker little has been made public. It is tlio result of a year's study of the ta* laws of the various states, tho reports of tux com missioners and leading authorities on the subject of toxntiou. The measure is intended to roach all kinds of property in the hands of all classes of people, nud is, indeed, in tended to furnish tho basis of a gen eral scheimj of taxation. Mr. Little does not claim thnt it is perfect, but. think.s that it will furnish n plan for legislation of this subject, The plan is a straight assessment system, nud voluntary valuation of property by the owners is, done awoy jvith. All kinds of property, real and personal, are to be listed, nnd the as sessors in ench county are to fix the valuation. A state board of tax commissioners is to hear appeals and see that the sys tem is properly administered by the local hoards of assessors. The state tax commissioners are also to attend to the assessment of the property of foreign corporations which is more effectively tnxed under this bill than it has been heretofore. The system of assessing railroad property, which has been found to work well, is left untouched, except that it is to be administered by the state tax commissioners, including tbe comp troller geueral, instead of by the comp troller general alone. Express companies, telegraph com panies, telephone coinpnnics, sleeping car companies nnd chair or parlor car companies nre tnxed under a system similar to that in operation in Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan and Massachu setts. The value of the whole prop erty of such foieign corporations is arrived at upon the basis of the market value of. their securities, with due al lowance for real estate returns, and the amount tnxed by this state is pro portioned to the mileage of their lines in Georgia.
