YOI.. V|!. Ufi U ! T Li Wi id. n & A NARRATIVE OF ADVENTURE. By SEWAUD W. HOPKINS. * (CarwnosT ir» Rostuit Botner’s Soks.) bt 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 uow » “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 3 HH U O *5 Q DEVOTED TO THE INTEREST OF JOHNSON COUNTY AND MIDDLE GEORGIA. WRLGHTSV’II.LE. GA..

Recovering myself, witU iU1 effo rt - 1 h “ dad back the P ic ‘ tare ana caimly , saia: “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 a 1»?U iu si-me (—.ter roam. He rang Cue telephone hell, and' hurriedly called up tho superintendent.

If you “« 8° in 8 *<> ««“d there, I will go along au ^‘® That ai } will "f?- be better, perhaps, al ^bougu .. tho location, ot course, is as w<iH k “, owu to tke l ,olio « M this c °r ner is. ’ “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. [to be continued.] 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 now the property of tho Waltham Savings Bank, and still continue* to grind corn by meaus of the upper and nether millstones, using water us motive power. FASHION'S FADS AND FANCIES. One of tin* fashionable hats Is a mod¬ ified Henri IT. A new departure is (lie use of small and beautifully cut cameos iu belt buckles. Pelt and pique hats are well liked. Those of pique seldom have any trim¬ ming--, and have straight, mannish looking brims.

A house gown of pink wool crepon nas two skirt flounces and ptincosse overdress with guinipe of white tucked mull polka-dotted with black chenille. 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¬ tumes, of royal blue, green and Rus¬ sian red, with large Directoiro muffs ami pelerines en suite. Costumes of heavy black satin, made, with fitted basque bodice and circular sldrt, have very short black satin capes cn suite, the cape end extreme edge of (he skirt trimmed with black moire fur. 1 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 point ill the back Is not yet introduced. Both black and white velvet girdles are spangled with black.
