MADAM’S FRIEND. “Yes, but when, Dick—when?” anx- iously inquired Madame Girardin. looking up at her friend beseechingly, as he was preparing todepart. “You must leave that to me,” replied Dick Halston. “You must trust me im- plicitly. We will seize the first favor- able opportunity, of course. 'More than that I cannot tell you now. We must conceive some pretext for removing your husband beforehand, until when, my visits to you must be an inviolable secret, or our plotting will revert to our OWn destruetion. And now I will be going—in case monsieur turns up unexpectedly.” ' “You will come again tomorrow Dick? Do!” she pleaded. “I feel so nervous and apprehensive when you are gone until you return. You will come, Dick?” ‘ “Wisdom advises ‘No,’ Good-bye, Winnie!" Madame was reclining, looking pale and dejected. She sprang to her feet as her husband entered. “Victor! Is it you, dear! How early you have come home'today!” Monsieur looked fixedly at her while he wove, his own interpretation-around her remark, then he said: “Yes; I am earlier than you» ex- pected.” . The constraint in his manner and an inferential something in his voice pricked her sensibility to danger. “What is the matter?” she inquired. “Isanything wrong, Victor?” “Nothing,” he replied, “Nothing that I know of.” Then he sat down and perused a pa- per, to give his wife an opportunity to explain, but she remained silent, with her fears and misgivings and her long ing for the morrow and Dick Halston's protecting presence. Monsieur Girardiu was a jeweler, with a shop in the Rue de la Paix and a luxurious second floor apartment in the Rue du Faubourg St. Honore, the other side of the Madeline, close by the English embassy and the English church, for Monsieur was a Protestant and his wife an English woman who had brought him a considerable for- tune. .His business, ever a failure be- fore his marriage, took a prosperous turn immediately his wife’s money as- sisted him in opening the shop in the Rue de larPaix,.._and had flourished ever. since. .Now, monsieur had glided into the habits of clockwork regularity, leav- ing for business immediately after .. breakfast, taking _his lunch at. a neigh- boring café, and returning home at four in the afternoon for a read, a gos- sip, a little shopping or an idlevstroll with his wife along the boulevards be- fore dinner. Whatever had prompted him, .on that particular day to break through his established routine was quite “obliterated from his mind the following day, when he sought for a pretext to do likewise, and he left his shop two hours earlier than was his custom with an~excuse°that drove the . blush of shame to his cheeks. He was going to play the spy upon the one we- man he ever loved, and whom he had honored and trusted before all others. As he reached his house in the Rue du Faubourg St. Honors the blush of ’shanle was suddenly overwhelmed by a flush of angefiwhen he saw a man issue from the house, spring lightly into a waiting cab and drive away at full speed. ’ ‘ ' it was madame’s English friend. as s s s e) e s a: s One day a messenger knocked at madame’s door, handed in a note from Dick Halston and departed. Madame tore open the message and read the m’essage; then in haste she sat down and wrote upon a blank telegraph form which she had in readiness for this emergency: . - “Meet me tomorrow at Metz. .Best to travel separately. WIN N IE.” Sie directed it to Dick Halston, and walking to the window glanced uvp'and down the street. Satisfied with her inspection, she descended the stairs to the street door, and waved her hand to attract the attention of a man whom. she had observed from the window. The man answered her signal with alacrity. “Will ‘you take this to the telegraph ofilce for me?” she asked. “It is very important and urgent.” She gave him some coins, and told him to pocket the excess for/his trou- ble. Then she returned to her apart- ments and began to pack a Small bag with the necessaries for a short jour- ney. ~ . The man, having glanced at the writing, street, but instead of entering the tel- egraph office he continued his course along the Rue St. Honore, though the Place Vendome into the Rue de ' la Paix,- andturned into a jeweler’s shop. Monsieur Girardin was in his pri- vate oflice alone, and the man present- ed him with the telegraph form with; out comment. Monsieur recognized his wife’s handwriting, and his brow clouded ' ominously; but, having read the dispatch, he directed the man to send it from the nearest telegraph of- fice without delay. ‘ He made arrangements to be absent a few days; then he left the store and walked quickly to his bank, where he drew a substantial sum of money in convenient form. “' ~ ' it t t , i C 0 It at It At a Paris terminus madame, from a but "I will. abruptly. walked briskly down the' runr of one: comment, furiively ....ned a man enterthe _other.

The train crawled into Metz just as iarkness settled down in earnest. The itation was indifferently illuminated, .nd as she alighted she visually swept :he platform. The smile that she had summoned vanished. and her heart gave a downward throb of bitter dis- Lppointment.‘ . . ' . Where was he? Had he changed his mind and alighted at an intermediate station? A voice spoke over her shoulder. “Surely your English friend has not played you false?” Madame turned quickly and con« fronted—her husband. If either exhibited embarrassment. st was certainly not madame. Monsieur ’Girardin in the course of the journey from Paris had drawn Several mental pictures of this meeting, but the ac :ual differed from them all. She stood before him with eyes filled with love— that sober love exhibited at a crisis before the passionate outburst. “I have known Dick Halston from :hildhood,” she replied, “and he never broke faith with anybody. But we 3annot talk here.” She led the way to the study but calf-deserted waiting-room. “Where is he, then?” satirically in- quired Monsieur. “You made an ap- pointment to meet him here.” “He is in Paris," she replied. . “Then he turned coward before your departure.” ~ “I—Iow blind you are, Victor! Can- not you guess what Dick is going to 10 in Paris during our absence?” “Solving conundrums is not my forte.” “Dick is a London detective. He is in Paris on professional business. Can- not you guess now?” "Again I must say no!” , "Victor!" the name broke from her like a cry. “Won’t you confide in me? Dick and I have conspired to save you. i do not believe you are guilty Of—of what they would have arrested you for. but for Dick’s timely warning and summing. 1 know there is some ex- planation; that you are not What—- what they say. Won’t you confide in inc? We are safe now, dear. Dick says they will not follow you over the frontier, a.nd——” She stopped. The amazement in his face puzzled her. “Winnie," he said,‘ “what do you mcan. I fail to understand your allu- sicns.” “I mean—a1 mean the coining. Oh, you must know! Won’t you c'onfide in me now?" “On my honor, Winnie, your words are riddles to me.” He spoke emphatically, truly. Then she explained to him how the London police had suspected that Eng- lish counterfeit coins were being im- ported from Paris; how they had gained the co—operatlon of the French police, who had tracked the coiners to Mon- sieur Girardi'n’s jewelry shop, and how Dick Halston had been sent to Paris to superintend their arrest. To all of which Monsieur. Girardin lis- tened with stupefaction. Then he em- phatically denied all knowledge of the affair, and vowed that the Paris de- tectives had made egregious asses ’of themselves. ' “They are to make a raid on your shop to—morrow,” added Winnie. “That. is why we lured you here to- day, taking advantage of the jealousy you had displayed at Dick’s visits and my silence. And Dick felt, certain that the man you had employed to watch his comings and goings would take my telegram straight to you.” Monsieur Girardin had begun to knit his brows. ‘ He consulted a time table. and returning to madamepremarked with a troubled voice that fortunately there was a night express to Paris, and he would be able to reach his . shop in the Rue de la Paix before the raid was begun. “Some time ago I._let an electrically lighted . basement room to two men purporting! to be small working gold smiths”. he said, “ and I suspect that the coining apparatus will be found there. I was never quite satisfied with my subterranean tenants, but i never suspected until now—” They returned to Paris by'the night express, and found Monsieur Gil-ar- din’s late suspicions established truths. ,Dick Halston was sincerely apologetic for his mistake, but Monsieur Girardin would scarcely listen to him. “You and Winnie have certainly made .a mistake on a. foundation hard- ly flattering to me, but I have made a ' perfect fool of myself. I ask your par~ don, monsieur.” . Chewing Gum and \Vrinkles‘.‘ Girls, if you want your faces .wrin- kled before you reach a hale old age, keep right on chewing gum.

Trial of the American Begun—Remark- able-Opening Statement .Uponi-Whlcii the Prosecution Appears to De- pend For Conviction. LONDON, Jan. '19.—-The trial of Edward J. Ivory, alias Edward Bell, of New York, who was arrested in Glasgow on Sept. 13 last, charged with conspiracy to destroy life and. property by the use of . dynamite, was begun in the central criminal court, Old Bailey, today, Justice Hawkins. pre- siding. Ivory is accused of having engaged in a conspiracy with P. J. P. Tynan, who is alleged to have been the No. 1 of the Irish Invincibles, and who .was so fre- quently mentioned during the trial of the persons charged with the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish, chief secretary for Ireland, and Mr. T. H..Burke, permanent undersecretary, in Phoenix park, Dublin, on May 6, 1882, John F. Kearney of New York, J. Wallace, .alias Haines, of New York, and others. Tynan was arrested in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, on the morning of Sept. 13, and Kearney and Haines were taken into custody'in Rotterdam on the same day. Tynan, Haines and Kearney were subsequently released by the French and Dutch authorities upon the ground that the ofienses with which they were " The Usual- Pomp and Display Observed . , at the Big Function. ran HUNT m GUY‘FAWKES All of the and Customs Rigidly Adhered To—lhe Queen's Address—She Takes . a Hopeful View of the Broad Effect of Arbitration. the fourteenth parliament was formally opened by royal commission at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The function was observed with all due and customary ceremony. ‘ Early in the morning a strong detachment of police mqyed down Whitehall and sta- tioned themselves at the various entrances leading to the houses Of parliament. Early as was the hour a large crowd had already assembled. They filled the space between Westminster bridge and the abbey, hung in .groups about the stone railing sur- rounding both houses and seriously im— peded traffic. Shortly after 9 o’clock a body of yeomen of the guard, commonly known as “beef eaters,” attired in their quaint costumes of bonnet, leather breeches and Elizabethan collar, carrying short swords. and halberds, arrived at the door of the house. They were accompanied by a police inspector, and their mission was the customary visit of inspection—a custom which has ob- tained since the famous gunpowder plot— to the vaults of the houses of parliament. ’ The vaults of the house of lords were charged were not included in the -list (if crimes mentioned in the extradition trea- ‘Netherlands. . It is alleged that when Ivory was ar- rested in Glasgow, where he- assumed the name of Bell, letters and other documen- tary evidence found among his efiects and upon his person disclosed his cOnnection with Tynan, Kearney and Haines, and the Scotland Yard authorities demanded his extradition to London. _which was granted. After several ,arraignments in the Bow Street police court he was formal— .ly committed for trial. Ivory’s counsel were J. F. Taylor, T. Matthews, Cecil Dwyer and John F. McIntyre Of New York. Solicitor General Finlay, Solicitor Sutton, Q. 0.; C. F. Gill and Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution. Mr. J. B. Carter, second secretary Of the United States embassy, and United States Consul General Patrick A. Collins were present in court. Ivory was well dressed and ap- peared to, be perfectly composed. He pleaded not guilty. After the prisoner’s plea had been entered . Solicitor General Finlay proceeded to nar- rate the events leading. up to the arrest of Ivory in Glasgow, beginning at the time the defendant left New York. Mr. Taylor, for the defense, objected to the introduc- tion into the case for the prosecution of anything that had taken place outside the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom which was calculated to operate to the prejudice of the prisoner. Justice Hawkins over- ruled the objection. Two Charges Against Bell. Mr. Finlay said that there were two that Of conspiring with Tynan and others to cause explosions endangering life, and the second charge was that of conspiracy with the same persons to cause‘explosions which would endanger property. Mr. Fin- lay then went on to trace Ivory’s move- ments and actions after his arrival in Great Britain and called attention to the fact-Of his having endeavored to find certain men whom he could engage actually to cause the explosions. He next spoke of. the pris- oner’s, letters, in which he said the words “finding stock”. meant finding agents. These letters, he continued, showed that the prisoner was acting in concert with Tynan and Kearney. The solicitor gen- eral proceeded to read. another letter, in which the defendant had written, “ Things look very bad for me as regards London stock, so much so that Billy Burt won’t do.” This letter, he said, proved that - Ivory had been enga ed in making in- quiries in London aim or to those he had made in. Glasgow in an attem t to engage men tocause-an explosion. The counsel then read a' letter alleged tohave been written to Ivory by Tynan, in- which the writer‘said: “We must haveself res , lng men, not men who are losing their men- hood through drink. We are both capable of doing the business personally in any event“ ‘ Mr. Finlay, continuing his argument, said that the evidence which the prosecu. tion would produce would link Ivory with the doings of _ Kearney in Antwerp, and also . prov that the ‘ prisoner belonged to ‘ the Order of United Irishman. .89 Would also bring evidence toshow that Ive had attended a secret meeting of the nited Irishmen in Chicago, and that he had left the'United States in concert with Tynan, Romney and Haines. At the conclusion of the opening argu- ment by Mr. Finlay the taking of evidence was begun, The first witness called tothe stand was Julius Opholser, a waiter employed in the - Victoria hotel in Amsterdam. Opholmr produced the register of the Victoria hotel, showing the arrival on Aug. 30,. 1896,01? an American; who gave the name of Wil- . kins. He. was accompanied by a man sup- ' posed to be a German. g Clerks employed in the St. Pancras Sta- ' tion hotel, London, identified the prisoner as having arrived at the hotel on Aug. 26.}, . last and said that he registered under the name of Edward Bell. 1A chemist named Peckham identified Ivory as having applied to him for the parchase of a large quantity of sulphuric d. i Thomas Charles Jones, a chemist in l Holloway road, testified that Ivory had ‘ called at his place of business and asked to ' purchase 25 pounds of chlorate of potash, . saying that he wanted it for the purpose - ofimaking experiments. Solicitor Taylor, for the defense, cross 2. sfimined the witness with great severity as to the identity of the prisoner with the man who had called at his laboratory. Mr. McIntyre said to arepresentative of the press that the utmost Justice Hawkins ' would do was to let him act as advisory counsel. He added: “I am much struck with the difference in conducting such a trial here and in America. They are so slow here. I have . talked with Bell, and he is convinced the government is going to do for him. He in no way admits his guilt, but is satisfied that the verdict will be against him.” Famous Cheesemaker Dead.

This accomplished, the “beef eaters” moved across Whitehall street to a noted wine- housc, which has been in existence for over three centuries. At the time of. the gun powder plot its then proprietor, an ardent loyalist, assisted in the search which the alarmed officials, when warned by Lord Monteagle, instituted. He then invited them to assemble at his shop and “quaif a. cup of wine” in recognition of their labor, and this custom has been constantly re- peated by his successors since 1605. A Bush For Seats. In the meantime preparations for the re- assembling of members began early at the house of commons, and there was quite a rush to secure desirable seats. In the Eng- lish parliament it is only necessary for a member to personally place his hat upon any coveted seat in order to secure its re- tention. In consequence some of the mem- bers arrived as early as 6 a. m. For the next few hours a. steady stream of commoners filtered in, and the police without wore busily employed in inspect- ing the cabs which bore them within the inclosure. Between 11 and 12 o’clock the arrivals were much more numerous than in the preceding hours, and the house it- self, the lobbies and the“ corridors were filled with groups of members and their charges against the prisoner. The first was ’ constituents, and the scene presented was one of great animation. ' Most of the Irish members took places on the cross benches and were soon en- ! gaged in earnest conversation. John Dil- lon took his usual seat on the third bench below the gangway. Shortly before 2 o’clock the speaker came in and was cor- dially greeted by numerous friends. Pray- ers were then read before the now crowded house, and at their termination Mr. Gully took the chair, and manymembcrs filed past the table to shake hands with him. Mr. W. J phnstone, member for South Belfast, won the honor of being the first member to secure his seat. At 2 o’clock there was a mighty clang- lug Of electric bells, and simultaneously another batch of policemen appeared and formed the crowd in the lobbies so that a passageway 20 feet wide was left clear be- tween the two houses. Then of a sudden all eyes shifted toward the door of the house of lords. Black Bod was coming .to summon the commons to the reading of the queen’s speech. The Queen's Address. The queen’s address to the two houses was as follows: “MY Loans AND GENrLsMENu-My rela- tions with all of the other powers continue to be of a friendly character.

Fearful Result of the Fire at the Buckner Orphan Home. DALLAS, Jan. 18.3—Fifteen little girls, and boys are dead as a result of the fire at the Buckner Orphan home, and nine others are seriously burned and crushed. Three of the injured, it is thought, cannot recov— er. The‘fullness of the holocaust was not discovered and fully realized until last night. The fire, which commenced about 10 o’clock Friday night and raged until the boys’ dormitory was destroyed, did not cool enough for search for bodies in the ashes until yesterday. At that time it was thought that only five children had been burned to death. When the ashes had cooled ' enough to admit of a. search, scores of sympathizing iiends and neighbors began the sad task of finding the bodies of the five whom it was known had perished. The search had hardly been instituted when the terrible truth that there were more than five bodies in the ashes " appear- ,ed. The search continued until the ruins were fully explored and 15 bodies hadbeen found. Forgets His Name. BALTIMORE, Jan. 18.—There is a man at the Maryland University hospital who does not remember his name nor his home. He was found wandering on the streets by a policeman and was surprised when told that he was in Baltimore. He complained of pains in his head when asked to remem- ber whence he came. He knows What has happened since he was found, but - as to anything that occurred before that time his mind is blank. Professor Miles, the specialist in nervous diseases, says the man is suffering from aphasia. His description tallies with that of John Allen of Suffield, Conn, who disappeared from that place. He says the name John sounds familiar. _ m t A Horrible Tragedy. 1 RuGBY, Tenn, Jan. 18.—-Benjamin L.
