CHAPTER II.
[continued.]
"Y’u’d make a good detective,” re
plied the officer. “Well, I’ll tell yer [
what. I’ll go up and sort o’ size up
the house and keep watch, while you
go aud see the cap’ll. If the cap’n
thinks there’s anything in it, he’ll
give yon some men. Anyhow, y’u’d
better tell him where I am, so that I
won’t get fired for not being round
when Rounds conies along." I
“I’ll fix that! What’s your name ;
and number?” i
“Jim Svkes, Number 422 ” i
“Ailright, ’Lookout for the bent
tree and tape,” I said, as I turned to
leave him. •
I had not gone many stops when I
heard tho rattle of s carriage. 1
called Svkes, and he came plodding
back to meet me.
“What do you want now?”
“See if that carriage is empty, will
you, I prefer riding to walking just

“Yer right, young feller. ’Tainhno
fun walking from here to heademar
ters this time of night. Hey there!
Hey there, I tell yer I**
“What yer want? I ain’t no Fief.”
This from the driver of the carriage,
which by this time got opposite us.
“Have yer got h
“Naw. Don’t want none. Goin’ to
the stable.”
“Not yet,'Pete. Come liero and
drive this gentlemen to headauarters.
See?”
“Sykasy, you make me tired!”
grumbled “Pete,"as lie slowly turned
the heads--of his horses toward the
curb.
I stepped into the carriage, and the
tired horses plodded away with me on
xnj errand. Officer Sykes tramped up
Bank street and was soon lost in the
darkness.
By the aid of a match I look.d at
my'watch. -It was half-past two.
In twenty minutes I was at police
headquarters. . A burly doorman ad¬
mitted me and demanded my errand.
I told him I wanted to talk privately
with the officer highest iu command.
“This way.” he said. “Captain
Watson is iu the office.”
Captain Watson was a grim, gray
old veteran. He seemed to me to be
au ideal man to hold watch and sway
over the peace of a great city in the
mysterious hours of night. He
greeted me cordially, and told me to
sit down and tell him mj story.
I told him everything. I did not
omit any of tho minor details. I talked
rapidly, so ho would not get impatient,
but I was determined he should see
the importance of the occasion. I even
told him about the Chinaman finding
me at Piaster’s, and how he acted and
how he looked.
The captian sat with half-shut eyes
during this portion of my narrative,
and seemed to take very little interest
—if, indeed, he took auy—in what 1
was telling him. I began to feel dis¬
couraged.
But when I began to describe the
girl—which I did with a minuteness
of detail that surprised even myself—
his manner changed perceptibly. His
keen, cold eyes scrutinized my face as
I talked, and seemed to be rendering
his ears valuable assistance iu taking
in all I said. When I had finished
and had told what I had done to make
it possible to identify the,bouse, and
had told of my meeting with Officer
Sykes, the captain relapsed into, his
old attitude of apparent listlessness.
His bead seemed to drop down into
his shoulders, and his eyes, now nearly
closed again, gave him the appearance
of I being very drowsy.
was plunged into momentary de¬
spair. Surely, I thought, this kind
of tragedy was not so common in San
Francisco that the police slMt their
eyes to it.
I had about made up my mind to
say something, when the grizzled head
began to separate itself from the collat
of the coat into which it had sunk.
The keen eyes looked at me, through
me, far past me. I saw that the cap
taiD, instead of being indifferent, was
in a deep study. He slowly unfolded
his six feet of length, and, going to t
cabinet of drawers iu one corner of th«
room, ho took from a small closet t
photograph.
“We have showed this to so manj
in the last twenty-four hours,” he said,
“and always without result, that I dc
not even hope for success now. Still,
your description comes dangerously
near.”
He handed me the picture. My first
glance at it sent a thrill of terroi
through me. In my blindness I had
stumbled upon a police mystery! A
feeling of nausea came over me. Mj
brain, usually cool, seemed now to
reel. There was no doubt of it. I
held in my hand the likeness of th*
girl I had just left in the Chinaman’s
house. Oh, how I cursed myself for
a fgol! Fool! To come away and
lsave that girl to the mercy of that

“Captain, that is tho girl.”
If there had been occasion to find
fault with Captain Watson for inat¬
tention before, there was no oppor¬
tunity to do so now. He strode about
as if ou the moment of opening a
tremendous battle. Ho touched a
button iu li 's desk that no doubt rang

1 d ‘ l1 u ot 1,ear tbe re P!y. but it was
evlllent| , y decisive. , The captain called
a sergeant aside and spoke in a low
to “®- 'J-’ben-turning tome, he said:

“Of course. But the houses all
look alike, aud have no numbers. I
will go.”
“Very well. Then, sergeant, yon
know what to do. Doctor, you had
better come back here when, it is over.
The superintendent will bo here and
may want to see you.”
I promised to return, and we went
out. Near tbe curb stood a patrol
wagon, drawn by a team of splendid
horses. The driver of my carriage
had, under my orders, waited for me.
Six officers had been chosen to ac¬
company the sergeant. These gotinto
tho putrol-wagou. The sergeant and
I seated ourselves iu the carriage.
“Drive first to the place where you
picked me up,” I said to the driver.
“I can direct you better from there.”
We were soon clattering over the
pavements to the rescue.
Reaching Bank street, under my
directions, wo turned toward Sand.
We drove more slowly here. We
turned into. Sand street and I showed
the sergeant the landmarks I had
noted.
“Policeman Sykes must be right
here,” I said, gazing along tho side¬
walk. We soon found him.
“Hello, Sykes!” said the sergeant.
“Have you seen anything?”
“Not a thing.”
“Is this the house?” said the sor
geant, pointing to the one in front of
which we stood.
“Yes,” said Sykes. “There’s the
tape around that tree.”
“Ring the bell.”
The officers had followed us, and we
went up the stoop in a body. Sykes
gave a tremendous puli at the bell.
There was no reply.
“That fellow that brought me here
didn’t ring; he rapped. Let me see if
I can imitate it.”
I gave three quickraps and two slow
ones. We waited. Not a sound
broke the stillness save the heavy
breaths of the men around me.
“Break down the door,” said the
Sergeant.
The men united their strength in a
grand assault on the door, and the
hinges gave way before them.
“Whewl” ejaculated the sergeant,
as the hot air came into his face.
“What a smell!” said Sykes.
“They’re beasts, them fellows.”
The same dingy light was in the
hall that hud been there before. But
no peering eyes were there to gaze
on us.
“This way,” I said, bounding up
the stairs. “Here is the room.”
The door was not locked. We poured
in, and I made straight for the bed.
It was empty.
“She’s gonel” I said, with my heart
almost in my mouth.
‘‘Search the house!” commanded
the sergeant. “Break down every
door and look into every corner. If
any one offers resistance, shoot him.”
With drawn revolvers the officers
charged through the bouse. I looked
at my watch. It was four o’olock.
Not more than an hour and a half had
elapsed sinoe I had left an unconscious
patient in the room, but she and her
keepers had vanished as completely
as though they never had existed. I
felt sick. I was not accustomed to
this sort of thing. My mind began to
fill with vague but horrible visions, in
whioh the girl’s probable fate stood
out with awful distinctness. Tbe Bly
cunning of the Chinamen and my own
stupidity helped to dismay me and
added a sting to the bitterness of my
thoughts.
“Wlieia has that imp taken her,”
growled the sergeant, as he prowled
through room after room, prying into
corners and closets.
I had never realized . before how
many dark corners a house really had.
The longer we searched the more eager
we became auil the more weird the
situation became. Every creak in the
old floor startled me, and the voices
of the ofliers as they spoke to each
other in gruff tones made me look
stealthily around. Mystery seemed
to be in every nook and closet.
Officer Sykes apparently ' the
was
most dumbfounded policeman to be
found in California. He knew that
no one had left the house—for wasn’t
he right in front of it! Was he blind,
that a young woman could be carried
past him by several Chinamen and he
not know it?
“But you don’t know what was go¬
ing on in the rear,” said the sergeant.
“This fellow, no doubt, bas made bis
way out the back-door and is now satV
in some neighbor’s house. But we’il
And him yet. We’ll find him yet, or
else I’m no prophet!”
I had my suspicious of Officer
Sykes. But it is not always a good
plan to air your opinions of certain
people in certain places, so I held my
peace. But to this day the escape of
that Chinaman is the greatest mystery
of tho whole affair. There was no use
looking any further. The house was
empty.
The sergeant gave sundry orders to
his men, under which they scattered
themselves through the neighborhood.
All patrolmen were to be asked if they
had seen any one answering to the de¬
scription of the girl or tho Chinaman.
But I had no hope in all the plans he
projected. I felt a sense of insecurity
in the help of some of the police. I
knew that we were defeated.
I accompanied the sergeant back to
headquarters. lu cur absence tho
snperintec dent had arrived. He
heard the report of the sergeant in
amazement. He hastily wrote out a
message, rang a bell, and handed
what he had written to au officer who
responded.
“Send that dispatch to every port
on the coast,” he said.
Then he told me the pitiful story of
the girl.
Her name was Annie’Ralstou. Her
father was one of the wealthiest aud
most prominent men of California.
His power and influence was felt in
politics, State aud national. The
social position of the family was of
the very highest. The homestead
was a flue large place at Oakland.
Annie was the belle of her circle of
friends, whioh was very large, She
was talented aud brilliant. She made
6 lasting impression on any ono who
saw her. Her father’s house was tho
sonstant scene of social festivity,
ilome ono was always being enter¬
tained there. He had once been Sen¬
ator, aud his stately house at Wash
mg ton had been noted for its open
aauded hospitality.
In all this Annie slionc resplendent,
by wit, beauty aud accomplishment!:.
Ifotentatos of foraigu nations had been
jiad to sit ut her feet and worship
her. Proposals of marriage had been
made to her by representatives
af European nations, and even
by titled noblemen of wealth. But to
all these she turned a deaf car. She
was au American. She loved America
and Americans. Her greatest love—•.
the love of her life—must go to au
American. All this, of course, was
from the story that her people had
told the superintendent. There was
not the least doubt as to its absolute
truth.
Suddenly she was missed from her
Oakland home.’ She left no word
no sign. There was no reason for her
going. No whim of hers had ever
been opposed. But she was gone—
utterly and completely. Her father
and her brother had visited the police
of Oakland and San Francisco. It
had been discovered by the Oakland
police that a stranger—au individual
of unknown nationality—with a
wicked pair of eyes and a livid scar on
tin* right side of his face had been
seen in Oakland, had spent money
freely, had been in the company of
several of the most worthless char¬
acters of the plaoe and had disap¬
peared again. It was further learned
that a person answering somewhat to
the deseiiption of him, but weeping a
beard, boarded a train for San Fran¬
cisco the night Annie Pvalston was
missing, with a woman who was close¬
ly veiled and seemingly totally help¬
less and very ill.
There the clew ended. No person
had seen them leave the train at San
Francisco, nor at any other place.
The police of all cities had been noti¬
fied of this, and a watch was being
kept'. Her mother, so the superinten¬
dent said, was now prostrated with
grief. Her father was weli-nigh dis¬
tracted. Her brother, a man of about
thirty, who was more of a student
than a man of the world, followed
helplessly in his father’s wake, unable
to assist, by even a suggestion, the
unraveling of the awful mystery.
It was not to be wondered at, then,
that my recital of what I had seen and
my identification of tho picture had
s.tirred the police force of San Fran¬
cisco even to its highest officer. Dis¬
appointment was plainly visible on Jus
face, at our failure to capture the
Chinaman and his victim. His white,
set lips, left no doubt of his determin¬
ation to do his utmost. There was no
doubt of his sincerity.
! I-left him with a sad heart. X felt
in some way responsible for all thi*
failure. It was daylight. My driver,
disgusted at my long delay, had de¬
parted. I boarded a car and stood
moodily on the platform, stolidly
smoking and ruminating over the
events of tho night, Never before
had I seemed so small in my own es¬
timation.

The Great Anglo-Indian Empire,
According to a recent writer the
great Auglo-Iudiau empire is com¬
posed of nine large provinces (Assam,
Bengal, Benaree, Bombay, Birman,
Central Provinces, Madras, Northeast
Provinces, Punjab) and about 250 dis¬
tricts. Besides there are more than
600 feudatory states, subject to the aon
trol of the Goveruor-Geueral of India.
The area is about 1,800,000 square
miles, aud tho population close ou
287,000,000. India possesses almost
all climates—cold in the Himalayas,
hot and temperate European climate
in the mountains, tropical in Bengal,
the Ganges, the Indus aud the ooast.
An Ancient Colonial (jrlut Mill.
A grist mill at Watertown, Mass.,
is known to have been in use as fat
back as 1635, when it is believed to
have been a town institution, It is

FASHION'S FADS AND FANCIES.

A new departure is (lie use of small

Pelt and pique hats are well liked.
Those of pique seldom have any trim¬

looking brims.

ribbons.
A house gown of pink wool crepon

Large black velvet hats are trimmed
with clioux of tlie velvet, and Prince
of Wales plumes., in black with Jet
underneath a little line of jet lying on
the hair, and large cut jet buckles
holding th" plumes.
A very pietty dressing sack Is made
entirely of pink satin ribbon and white
lace insertion, caught together with
white silk embroidery stitching. A
square collar is edged with full lace
ruffle and fastened with a pink satin
tie.
With gray cloth or velvet of certain
shades, chinchilla is very pretty, anil
new French tailor models show this
expensive fur on cloth and velvet cos¬

Costumes of heavy black satin, made,
with fitted basque bodice and circular
sldrt, have very short black satin capes

Short, pretty and convenient neck
fur's are merely broad bands of fur
fastened with clusters of short tails at
the front and with a high ruff of some
rich shade of velvet often of a brilliant
line at tlie back.
A pretty blouse of bright red, worn
by a pretty girl, was made perfectly
plain, without fulness or yoke, at the
top, fitting: on the shoulder with a plain
and gathered a little at the waist,
while tiny black velvet buttons in
groups of three had the appearance of
fastening the waist down the front.
Girdles and sashes are again becom¬
ing important accessories of woman’s
dress. The newest girdles show a re¬
vival of the old style—pointed fronts
and straight around the waist, The
