DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF yy ESTERN MAIL T71 NCYCLOPEDIC DICTIONARY, ITS THOROUGHLY ENCYCLOPAEDIC CHARACTER. It is hardly possible to attach too much im- portance to this feature of the work. It is not only a comprehensive dictionary, but also a are complete encyclopaedia to all branches of knowledge. The editors have not rested con- tent with giving merely a definition of each word but. wherever necessary, have supple- mented the definitions by short articles con- taining a concise description and history of that which the word represents. Especial efforts ha-e been made to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the scientific information, the chemical and natural science nomenclature being brought up to the very latest date. ITS COMPREHENSIVENESS AND ITS WIDE- NESSOF RANGE IN POINT OF TIME. THE LARGE NUMBER AND PRACTICAL CHARACTER OF ITS ILLUSTATIONS. The numerous pictorial illustrations, although eminently artistic in character, are in no sense mere embellishments, but in every case help to T^aRICHNESS AND COMPLETENESS OF THE ILLUSTRATIVE QUOTATIONS. In both of these most important points the "Western Mail" Encyclopedic, Dictionary stands alone The editors have endeavoured to trace out and show to the reader, by illustrative quotations, the history and development of each word. and such a system is for the first time fully carried out in the present work. In no other dictionary will there be found such a richness and fulness of illustrative quota- tion. In the Western Mail Encyclopaedic Dictionary each meaning and each sub-division of each meaning is. in nearlv every case, illus- trnted by a quotation, the whole work compris- ing a collection of examnles for the gathering I together of which a vpry. large number of books of all classes and of every date has been spoHallv read. The ordinary English Dictionaries nave neen content to register such words as are univer- sally recognised as "English." and are to be met with in the writings and conversation of every-day life. But, heyond these, it is impos- s ble to open any book or naner without meet- ing with words of a scientific or technical character the exact meanings of which essen- tial as they are to the full understanding of the passnw in which they occur nr> ordinary dictionary supplies. In such cases the reader or student must, consequently, hnve recourse to some dictionary or glossary snecia^v devoted to the pollectinn and exnlmnti^n of terms in use in the particular branches of science or art f,, cr-fVt "nri'i l^olont*.

-.. _.. THE MAN SHE DEAFLY…
THE MAN SHE DEAFLY LOYID SPECIALLY SET FOR THE EVENING eXPRESS, CHAPTER TX. HASTINGS'S STORY. "She is telling Vne- truth!" muttered Beck- witii. "This mrn is Francis Hastings. How the change of -personality was worked I don't know, but ifc is true, for all that!" Belle De!,1n!)() brolre the spell of silence by *a:i inpatient !5hmp of her fooi. "This is ail rank; nonsense, you know!" she cried. "It lixneis who died. He" "Irancis did not die, as you know very well," inter,, Hastings. "Felix fell into his own trap. and fc.r safety I assumed his name. I believe you knew it all along." "Wen, and even if X.clirl know all along that you wsrf not Felix, what does that prove?" askcri coolly. "And why didn't you own up that yon were Francis?" "Because I difhi't. choose io betray mvself. For all I knew it was you who killed my brother; and I thought von quite capable of accusing uie of the murder." Belle Delorme vouchsafed no reply. With a look of disgust at her own failure to blackmail Hustings into marrying her she turned to leave the room. "Not yet. Miss Delorme!" interposed Beck- with. "AIt11"m:h we have found oui Hint Francis is alive aud Felix dead, we lurcu't learned yet how Iclix met his death." "I can't help you out of that. Ask his loving brother." "I think you can help us, Miss Deiorme," said Vivian. "sincd by your own confession, Felix made all his arrangements witn your aid. "I don't know how he died," declared the soubrette. "I know no more of thac than you do; though I believe Francis killed mm. "Then you acknowledge me to be Francis?" "I acknowledge nothing. Let me pass, Mr. Beckwith. I am due at the music-hall in half an hour." "You won't go a step till you tell me where your so-called father, Stein, is to be found." "I don't know," she replied, sullenly. "Oh, yes you do", said Vivian, "and you shall not leave this room till you confess." "Hut if I don t show up at the music-hall in time I' be fined." "That doesn't concern us," laughed Hastings. "Ciive me the night to think :t over" pleaded Belle. "Not one hour!" answered Beckwlili. "Come, the truth alone can save you." "And if I refuse?" I it, t ha tease I shall arrest you as acccssory io ilie murder of Felix Hastings." I "G;vi> nic time! 'live mc time!" "e will dve vou Jusl one half hour to tlunk it over. No, no! Don't leave the room please, and make no outcry. It will only lead to your arrest. Half an hour, remember." Belle Delorme looked from face to face, but in none of the trio did she see symptoms of pity. With a shrug of the shoulders as one who accepts the inevitable, she walked to the furthest corner of the room and sat down. "And nos, old man," exclaimed Francis Hastings, turning to Beckwith and holding out both hands, "first of all, let me ask your for- giveness for the deception I've practised and the trouble I've caused you. And let me thank you for the pains you've taken to drag my supposed murderer to justice and to protect the woman I love from the arts of a man you believed a villain." "Don't speak of it. But for the sake of my curiosity tell me the truth about all this, won't you ?" "Why, I told you I was Francis all along," said Hastings reproachfully. "Yes, in such a way as to make me sure you were FeFx," laughed Beckwith. "You might have trusted as old a friend as I, Hastings. It would have been better for us all." "I can see that now. But I feared you would think I had killed Felix. It was my cursed cowardice that caused the whole trouble. If It realised how true a friend to me you were. Beck with, I'd have.made a clean breast of it from the iirst. As it was, I remembered my wild threats of killing Felix, and I thought you'd accuse me of the murder." "But who did kill lum ?" "I don t know. When I saw liini he was dead. "And Belle and Stein?" "They had left the house. This was about six in the morning." "And I didn't wtke up till ten. You had four hours start of me. But how did you come to put Felix's dead body in your own bed ?'* "I'll tell you the whole story:—My mind was full of your theory as to Felix's treachery to me. The more I thought of it the more con- vinced I was of its truth. I woke up at six next morning, resolved to wait no longer for Felix, but to go straight to New York, confront Vivian, and learn from her own lips whether I had been supplanted by my faithless brofier, or whether he had passed himself off as Francis and wooed her in my name." "I suggested that step a.Iso, you remember." "I remember. Well, I went downstairs. The first thing I saw was my brother, Felix, lying dead on the flo >r. I thought either Stein or the girl had killed him, so I went in search of them. They had gone, as hrxl every trace of their occupancy of the tavern. At first I was about to wake you up. Then the memory of my foolish talk to you came back, and I stopped. A means of flight came to me at last, and I took it. I got. the idea from a book I read on the waY home from Chili. It was called 'The Pri- soner of Zenda,' and told how a man traded on his resemblance to a German king to take that kind's place. I thought if a man could play the part of a king he'd never knownlctuld surely pass myself off as my own twin brother. Besides, as Felix had been masquerading as myself, the trick' seemed all the easier. "I carried Felixis body upstairs, drassed it in my own clothes, laid it on my bed and put on his suit. Then I remembered I must part with my pearl ring in order to make the world believe it was Francis who was the corpse. So I put it on his dead fina-er. The. Uu» same hand was gashed. That was his only wound. Felix's horse and buggy were outside the tavern. I drove them b (ck to Porter's in Jersey City, and he never guessed I was not Felix. I came back to my rooms here at the Benedict, and then went at once to call on Vivian. In some instinc- tive way she knew at once I was her real lover and not Felix. So I confessed all to her. It seems you were right, Beckwith. Felix was passing under my name, and he had given it out that Felix was in Chicago. He stood in with a hotel keeper, who aided the deception. By Vivian's advice I kept up the part Felix-had begun. He had pretended to be Francis. I was really Francis. So my part was easier to play than his had been. But just as I saw clear sky ahead you came to me and swore I was Felix, and that I had killed my brother, Francis. It's a strange situation, my friend, to be accused of having murdered yourself." "I can imagine so. Go on." "Then, when you proposed that trip to the Meadow Tavern to look up Francis's body, I was panic-stricken. But I drove out there that night, found a spade. dug a grave with my own hands, near the inn, and laid Felix's body in it. I even repeated the Bnrial Service over him. I drove back a' dawn, and that day wilpil we thr e rode out there we naturally found nothing. I j honglÜ I was :it e at last, but your decision to go to Chicago in search of an imagi- nary Felix threw me into another panic. I took ilie first tr.un the same day for Chicago. found the Greycouri- Hotel, and passed myself off on j he proprietor as Felix. I even paid him juonoy to forward mv plans. It seems the r» al Fflix bad bec'i sending him letters and tele- grams from N-w York to be sent back in Ins grams from N-w York to be sent back in Ins name from Chicago. "Then came my interview with you, and at its cor elusion I was sure, I had thrown you off 4 my track for ever." 'Do you know how Felix difd ?" asked the detective. "No." "He was killed, Francis, by a poisoned arrow head which liail been stolen from Miss Price's house. A mere scratch from such a. weapon would cause almost instant death. "One of the poisoned arrows from over our mantelpiece!" exclaimed Vivian in wonder. "How did it, get. to the Meadow Tavern?" "I will tell you!" It was Belle Delorme, who spoke. "The net is drawn too close," she said, com- ing forward. "1 can't get out any other way, so I may as well confess the truth. But will you promise me immunity." "If we find your story to be true," replied Beckwith, "I can answor for it neither Mr. Hastings nor Miss Price will care to push the 'rise further." "Very gcod. Here goes, then. Stein is really my father. My real name is Stein. But Delorme sounds better en the stage. And"- "Never mind all (hut. Get down to facls. please." "AII rig-hl. The part, of my story ihai you and Miss Price overheard happens to be true. Felix had really promised to marry me before he wanted to marry Miss Price. He said he'd keep his promise if I'd help him in the affair with his brother. So Stein and I went down to the tavern that day. About an hour after you and Mr. Francis Hastings bad gone to bed Felix drove up to the tavern door, lied his horse. and came in. We told liihj Francis was asleep,, and he was for waking him at once. He took an arrow-head from his pocket and laid it on the table. I picked it up and asked what he had brought it there for. He gave some evasive answer and I set it back on the table. letting it rest with the blunt side down and the keen edge upward. Felix started to go upstairs. but my father stopped him to ask if he really meant to keep his word and marry me. Felix had gained his object by getting us to help him meet h's brother, and he had nothing more to gain from us. So he laughed in my father's face at the question. "My father repeated his request, reminding Felix of his promise. Then Felix grew angry, and shouted. 'Marry her? :Ncver! I'm not such a fOJ! "As he spoke he brought down his hand for emphasis on the table. He struck it with a bang; then screamed and sprang to his feet. When he had struck the table his hand had fallen on the razor-edge of the arrow-head. He called out that he was poisoned, and told us to run for help. Before we could leave the room he fell to the fbor-dead." "Well ?" queried Beckw.tli, as the girl paused. "We took the wagon we had brought the pro- visions in, piled into it all traces of our occu- pancy there, and hurried back to New York, reaching home before dawn. We left the body where it lay. That's*all I know of the story. When I knew I could make no more money from Felix, the "dea occurred to me that it might, be a good thing to play on Francis's 1 fears, and perhaps induce him to marry me. So T did it. He's such a pitiful coward. I I believed I'd have suceccucd if you people hadn't interrupted us." "You will keep went about, this, for your own' sake," said Beckwith sternly as he conducted Belle to the door. "Understand, you are in our power. At the first hint of your knowledge of this affair you'll get a long term in prison, if not the electric chair. No one besides ourselves will believe your story." I Thoroughly cowed, the adventuress hurried past him into the street. Beckwith returned to the reception-room to come upon a tableau wherein he could play no pan. Vivian Price stood in the centre of the little room, her arms about Francis's neck and her eyes upraised to his in a look of perfect love and trust. "All the shadows have fled away. beloved," she was saying, as Beckwith appeared. "Fled away for ever, thanks to your brave help, sweetheart." answered Francis. "There is nothing but sunlight and blue sky ahead." "I fancy this is a scene where 'three is a I crowd, soliloquised Charlie Beckwith. the II millionaire detective as be withdrew unseen. ¡ THE END.

Only a few days elapsed, and the gifted 1 amateur again called on Meyerbeer. "Have you j looked carefully over my two composition, ?" he fsked. "A thousand pardons." ple.a.ded the. ever- polite composer. "I have only had time to glance at one of them." "Well, and what do you think I of ii?" "That I like the other better," was the reply. i
