There was a new tenant in the Hicks street tenement He arrived late one afternoon and was shown two rooms, one in the rear building and another in the front, one. Both were on the fourth floor He demurred at the former, thought It gloomy, but finally consented to try It. The ether, he said, was too expensive. The janitor new to the business was not muclt taken with him and showed it, which seemed to offend the newcomer, who was evidently an irritable fellow owing to 111 health However, they came to terms as I have said, and the man went away, promising to send In his belongings the next day. He smiled as he said this and the jan itor. who had rarely seen such a change take place in a human face, looked un comfortable for a moment and seemed disposed to make some remark about the room they were leaving But, thinking better of it, locked the door and led the way downstairs As the prospective tenant followed, he may have noticed, probably did, that the door they had just left was a new one the only new thing to be seen in the whole shabby place. The next night that door was locked on the inside. The young man had taken possession As he put away the rem nants of a meal he had cooked for him self. he cast a look at his surroundings, and imperceptibly sighed Then he brightened again, and sitting down on his solitary chair, he turned his eyes on the window which, uncurtained and without shade, stared open-mouthed, as it were, at the opposite wall rising high across the court. In that wall, one window only seemed to interest him and that was on a level with his own. The shade of this window was up. but there was no light back of It and so nothing of the interior could be seen. But his eye remained fixed upon it. while his hand, stretched out towards the lamp burning near him, held Itself in A Shampoo for Blondes »b 0 iavifforaHac Tb' •Aatnpoc Ml the (basket that will MSaadfy beef of blonde hair fsosr f-reretwr darkrr~- *b4 five to uaattraeffve drab or faded-iooding habr a lotrtrous golden 'heeee that Is ttßtvesaally adanored. aoithoue dyeing ae btoat Aiirf—A sia weeks* tsrsTxeit for 1-00 MME. ELIZABETH GILLE No. 1 Hawihsa dnnt- Nsw York City For xie h COURSEY A MUNN readiness to lower the light at a minute's notice. Did he only see the opposite wall and that unillumined window? Was there no memory of the time when, in a previous contemplation of those dismal panes, he beheld stretching between them and him self, a long, low bench with a plain wood en tub upon it, from which a dripping cloth beat out upon the boards beneath a dismal note, monotonous as the ticking of a clock? < One might judge that such memories were indeed his. from the rapid glance n» cast behind him at the place where the bed stood in those days. It was placed differently. But if he saw, and if he heard these suggestions from the past, he was not less alive to the exactions of the present, for. as his glance flew back across the court, his finger suddenly moved and the flame controlled sputtered and went out. At the same instant, the window opposite sprang into view as the lamp was lit within, and for several minutes the whole interior remained visible—the books, the work table, the cluttered furniture, and, most Interesting of all. Its owner and oc cupant It was upon the latter that the newcomer fixed hts attention, and with an absorption equal to that he saw expressed in the countenance opposite. Bnt his was the absorption of watch fulness; that of the other of introspection. Mr. Brotherson-—(we will no longer call him Dunn even here where he is known by no other name) had entered the. room clad in his heavy overcoat, and. not hav ing taken It off before lighting his lamp, still stood with it on. gazing eagerly down at the model occupying the place of hon or on the large center table. He was not touching It—not at this moment—but that his thoughts were with It, that his whole mind was concentrated on It, was evident to the watcher across the court; and. as this watcher took in this face and noticed the loving care with which the enthusiastic inventor finally put out his finger to rearrange a thread or twirl a wheel, his disappointment found utter ance in a sigh which echoed sadly through the dull and cheerless room. Had he ex pected this stern and self-contained man to show an open indifference to work and the hopes of a lifetime? If so, this was the first of the many surprises awaiting him. lie was gifted, however, with the pa tfence of an automaton and continued to watch his fellow-tenant as long as the latter's shade remained up. When it fell, he rose and took a few steps up and down, but not with the celerity and pre cision which usually acedmpanled his movements. Doubt disturbed his mind and impeded his activity. He had caught a fair glimpse of Brotherson’s face as he approached the window, and though it continued to show abstraction, it equally displayed serenity and a complete satis faction with the present If not with the ; future. Had he mistaken his man after ■ ail? Was his instinct, for the first time I in his active career, wholly at fault? He had succeeded in getting a glimpse of his quarry in the privacy of his own room, at home with his thoughts and and unconscious of any espionage, and how had he found him? Cheerful, and natu ral in ail his movements. But the evening was young Retrospect comes with later and more lonely hours. There will be opportunities yet for study ing this Impassive countenance under much more telling and productive cir cumstances than these. He would await these opportunities with cheerful antici pation Meanwhile, he would keep up the routine watch he had planned for this night Something .might yet occur. At all events, lie would have exhausted the situation from this standpoint And so it came to pass that at an hour when all the other hard-working people In the building were asleep, or at least striving to sleep, these two men still sat at their work, one in the light, the.other in the darkness, facing each other, con sciously to the one. unconsciously to th.e other, across the hollow well of the now silent Court. Eleven o'clock! Twelve! No change on Brotherson’s part or in his room; but a decided one in the place where Sweetwater sat. Objects which had been totally indistinguishable even to his penetrating eye could now be seen in ever brightening outline. The moon had reached the open space above the court, and he was getting the full benefit of it. But it was a benefit he would have been glad to dlspt nse with. Darkness was like a shield to him He did not feel quite sure that lie wanted this shield removed. \) ith no curtain to the window and no shade, and all this brilliance pouring into the room, he feared the disclosure of his presence there, or, if not that, some effect on his own mind of these memories lie was more anxious to see mirrored in an other's discomfiture than in his own. Was it to escape any lack of concen tration which these same memories might bring, that ne rose and stepped to the window" Or was it under one of those involuntary impulses which move us in spite of ourselves to do the very tiling our judgment disapproves? No sooner had he approached the sill than Mr. Brotherson’s shade tiew way up ami lie. too, looked out Their glances met. and for an instant the hardy de tective experienced that involuntary stag nation of the blood which follows an inner shock. He felt that lie had been recog nized. The moonlight lay full upon his face, and the other had seen ami known him Else, why the constrained attitude and sudden rigidity observable in this confronting figure, with its partially lift ed hand" A man like Brotherson makes no pause in any action however trivial, without a reason. Either he had been transfixed by this glimpse of his enemy on watch, or—daring thought! had seen enougli of sepulchral suggestion in the wan face looking forth from this fatal window to shake hint from hts composure and let loose the grinning devil of re morse from Its Iron prison house? If so. | the movement was a memorable one. and ■ 'he hazard quite worth while. He had gained—no! he had gained nothing. He hail been the fool of his own wishes. No one. let alone Brotherson. could have mis taken hts face for that of a woman. He had forgotten his newly grown heard Some other cause must be found for the other's attitude it savored of shock, If not fear If it were fear, then had he roused an emotion which might rebound upon himself in sharp reprisal. Deatli i had been known to strike people stnnd- ■ ing where he stood mysterious death of a species quite unrecognizable. What I warranty had he that It would not strike I him, and now? None Yet it was Brotherson who moved first. With a shrug of the shoulder plainly vis*, Ible to the man opposite, he turned awas from the window and without lowering the shade, began gathering up his papers for the night, and later banking up his stove with ashes To Be ConUew** Next Issue.

I'he collection of the Countess Nadejda Torby is the »envy of British and Continental society. She is a daughter of the Grand Duke Michael Miehaelovitch and is only sixteen. Her collection consists largely of the pearl-decorated “kokoehnik,” or Russian head-dress, now used only at court functions.

He prom ised to write to me before he left, but it is about four weeks now and I have not heard from him. ANXIOUS. Try to forget him.
