J~JISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF y^ESTERN MAIL NCYCLOl'EDIC DICTIONARY. "iTS THOROUGHLY ENCYCLOPEDIC 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 complete encyciop»dia 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 have 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- NESS OF RANGE IN POINT OF TIME. THE LARGE NUMBER AND PRACTICAL CHARACTER OF ITS ILLUSTATIONS. I The numerous pictorial illustrations, although eminently artistic in character, are in no senst mere embellishments, but in every case help to elucidate the text. THE RICHNESS 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 I 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- richness and fulness of illustrative quota- tion. In the Western Mail Encyclopaedic Dictionary each meaning and each sub-division of each meaning i,. in nearlv everv case, illus- trated by a quotation, the whole work compris- ing a collection of examples for the gathering together of which a very larze number of books of all classes and of every date has been svi'iallv read The ordinary English Dictionaries have been content to register sncli words as are univer- sally recognised as "Ensrlish." and are to be met with in the writings ruid conversation of every-dav life. But. beyond tnese. it is impos- sible to open any i->ook or naner without meet- sible to open any h'lOk or 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 tiie passages in «'iiicV thev occur, n^ ordinary dictionary supplies. In such cases the reader or student must, consequently, have recourse to som" dictionary or glossary sneciallv devoted to the collection and cxnl 'nati^n nf terms in use in the particular branches of scien^or art cupii v.-nrr'j v^lonsr. n''ie "Western Mail" Ep^vdonrrdic Dictionary, by combinine in one :,]) these <nv»*"nl elossaries or vocabu- ivri^. pfForta n double saving—an economy of time and of money.

THE/MAN SHE DEARLY LOVED I
THE/MAN SHE DEARLY LOVED I SPtCIALLY SET FOR THE EVENING tXPRtSS. HTXOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS. I Francis and Felix Hastings are twin brothers in. loye with the same girl. Vivian Price. She engaged torFrancis. Charles Beckwith, a t>ew York detective, meets one ot the twins a lonely ruined lavern on the Jersey meadows. The inn is run bv a lame man named Stein and his beautiful daughter, ~,ulla. The twin vrho calls himself Francis t £ y* ke has just returred from Chili to.find vnat m his absence Felix has won Vivian s tore from him. Beckwith suggests that r elix, trading on the wonderful resemblance yeen the twins, may have passed himself ?i v'an as Francis. Hastings swears tuat if he finds this to be true, he will kill Jus brother. j{is brother, he thinks, also has good reason for desiring his death. He says Felix is to meet him at the tavern that same night. The next morning Beckwith awakens to find himself the only living creature in the tavern. He searches for Hastings and finds him lying murdered in his room. Beckwith returns to New Y'ork in search of Felix Hastings to notify him of his brother's death. He finds Hastings at Miss Price's Madison-avenue home. but the twin declares himself to be Francis, not Felix. He also says Felix is in Chicago. Beckwith tells the story of his adventure at the Meadow Tavern, and is laughed at by Hastings who calls the whole story a dream. He says he has not been to the Tavern in years, and that his twin brother, being now in Chicago, cannot have been the man Beck- with says he met there. The detective is bewildered at Hastings's assertion that he is Francis, but at length asks what has become or a pearl ring which Francis always wore. Hastings changes colour at this question. A" is at ao- lOll L-raut. "V ivioJi PeUUI enters and adds her testimony to that of M-istiinr- even producing ;i letter received from Felix that very day. The letter bears a Clii^a^o postmark. To clear up the mys- tery Beckwith proposes that the trio ride out to the Meadow lavern and view the bodv. Hastings declares there is nobody there but expresses willingness to investi- gate.' They accordingly go out to the tavern the following morning. The body is gone from the bed where Beckwith last saw it. and close search of the premises reveals nothing. Beckwith goes next day to Chicago to look up Felix at, the address given by Miss Price. He finds the man he has sought at the Grevcourt Hotel, Chicago, and is in- formed that this twin has been there for the past six weeks. The hotel proprietor corro- borates this statement. On neither twin's hand is there any sign of the gash found across the nalm of the corpse at the Meadow Tavern. Beckwith is dumb-founded. Since one twin is alive and well in New ork and the other in Chicago, and as but two men bear this marvellous likeness to each other, who was the man he talked with at the Meadow Tavern and whose the body he saw there? The detective decides his brain is out of order, and on his return to New York aroes to consult a specialist in nervous diseases. CHAPTER V. MEDICAL ADVICE AND WHAT CAME OF IT. "There is some trickery about all this, Mr. Beckwith." The speaker was Dr. Burton, one of I\cw York's nioi-t eminent brain specialists. On his return from that strange and fruitless ] quest to Chicago. Beckwith had followed Hast- ings's advice and had consulted a physician. Dr. Burton had listened with close attention while Beckwith (old the story of his a Iveililure at the Meadow Tavern and the subsequent hap- penings. The detective had finished his narrative by say- — "You set,, facts are all against me. doctor. The evidence of my senses is conclusively disap- proved. So I must be under some wild delu- sion." "There is some frickery here," said Dr. Bur- ton (nee more. "Then you don't think my meeting with Fran- cis Hastings at the Meadow Tavern that night was a hallucination?" "There is no hallucination about you," retorted Burton sharply. "You seem to me as sane and matter-of-fact a person as I ever met." "Then how do you account, doctor, for my having met three men all exactly alike when I know there are only two who bear that special lilzeiiess I" The doctor pondered a moment. "This is rather in your own line than mine, Mr. Beckwith," he said at length. "It is a caJe for a detective rather than for a doctor. The matter seems miraculous to you now, be- cause, all through, you have been haunted by an idea of the supernatural—by a half idea, too, that you were mentally deluded. This has ob- scured your naturally clear detective sense. Now that you know your mind is sound and there is no miracle about the affair, it will be easy to un- ravel. Ponder the matter carefully, and what seems so unintelligible now will probably sur- prise you by its very simplicity." "Then I will spare no time nor pains to thresh out the entire secret." "Go carefully, Mr. Beckwith. You have no ordinary criminal to deal with here; but, ap- parently, a highly educated and brilliant man. Were I in your place" "Wtll?" "Don't laugh. Mr. Beckwith, but I'd like to soive this problem myself. Criminal investiga- tion lias always been a fad of mine. In my pro- fession I meet strange experiences at times, and being only a physician I have no chance to trace them to tlieir source." "Tell me your ideas, doctor." said Beckwith, foiling readily in with Burton's whim, "and I'll c;. rry them cut snd report progress." "Good! I'll be a sort of silent partner and furnish such ideas as I can and let you work them out. But, for heaven's sake, Mr. Beckwith, keep my share of it quiet. It would never do to have my name appear in the case." "But it may take much of your valuable time, doctor. This case may take weeks to work out." "It will be recreation to me after my dull professional work. Don' grudge me this little recreation, Mr. Beckwith." "Well, and your idea?" "In the first place, I am inclined to agree wilh your theory that Felix has passed himself off as Francis." "I've given up that idea." said Beckwith gloomily. I saw Felix in Chicago." 'Hold on! We'll come to. that later. I believe it was Felix you met here in New York. Felix, who called himself Francis and passed himself off as Miss Price's fiancee. So far I believe you arc right." "But I saw him at Chicago! "Yes. yes! But the pretended Francis of New York and the real Felix of Chicago are one and the same person." "You mean, he followed me to Chicago?" cried Beckwith, seizing the new idea. "Xo. He preceded you. You never started (ill the morning after you found the body gone. He, I believe, Jeff New York the same evening, reached Chicago, and bribed the proprietor of the Greycourt Hotel." "But why? What was his motive?" "Can't you see?" exclaimed Burton. "Felix wants to put a stop to your following up this case. From your own story it is quite likely he (either by his own hand or through the agency of Stein) killed his brother. Your unforeseen arrival at tiie Meadow Tavern that night compli- cated matters. You say they didn't want to let you in. Had you not come and seen the body afterward Francis would merely have vanished from the world, and no one would have been a bit the wiser. Felix, arriving at the tavern after you \Iad gone to bed, probably knew nothing of .your presence there. Then when you turned up at Miss Price's on Madison-avenue next day, just when lie was congratulating himself on his good fortune in getting off so safely, lie saw a new source of pe"ril, not only to his character, but to his life. He asked for a night's grace in begging you to wait till next morning before going to the Meadow Tavern again. During that night he went himself to that tavern and hid the corpse somewhere in the marshes." "Impossible "Just the same, I believe it so! Make inquiries as to Felix Hastings's movements on that lù;ht. and I'll bet my head you'll find lie went to Meadow Tavern." "That was the reason then," cried the detec- tive, "that lie was so ready to go there with me next morning!" "Exactly. He knew there was no evidence against him at the lavern. He might cven be perfectly assured of throwing you off the track. But > our obstinacy raised a new danger. You said vou would go to Chicago and satisfy your- self as the existence of Felix. He got there on a train ahead of you, went to the Grevxourt Hotel (where no doubt lie was well known), and bribed the proprietor to aid the deception. There he received you as Felix, just as, three days earlier, he had received you in New York as Francis. Decidedly he is a clever man this Hastings." "But if I go directly to his rooms at the Bene- diet "You'll find Felix there, no doubt." "But Chicago. broke in Beckwith, who b?gan to see he had been dup?d. "You forget the Feiis of Chicago has gone to S.m Francisco on his way around the world and has left no address." "What a fool I've been!" exeltimed Beckwith. jumping to his feet. "Fa, a disgrace to ny trade. I see everything now "What do you mean to do?" "Francis told me at the tavern that. night that he had just arrived from Chili. That was the sixth of June. I'll go to the shipping agency that has alrwdy done some good work for me, and find what boat he came by and what date. Thrt fact established. I can soon prove Felix an imposter." "And remember," laughed the doctor, as he showed Beckwith to the door. "I'm a silent part- ner in this case. You're to report progress to me." Beckwith went to <h-: nearest telegrnph onuc and sent two dispatches. Then he rang up the Benedict apartment house on the telephone. "Is Mr. Felix Hastings at home?" he asked of the ooy who answered the call. "X\1, sir," came the reply. "He went out ten minutes ago." "Good! mused Beckwith, "the employes at a big city apartment-house can't all be bribed like the proprietor of an obscure Chicago hotel. Felix is evidently in town." H> strolled down Fifth-avenue to his apart- ments, and half an hour later received two telegrams. They were in reply to the two he had just sent. The first was from the proprietor of the Grev- court Hotel. Chicago. It ran — "Mr. Felix Hastings left for San Francisco early this morning." The se.cond was from the shipping bureau. Beckwith's agent there had telegraphed — "Only ship from Chili to New York thus far in June was the Bahuaccda. Arrived morning of June 6. Francis Hastings's name is on pas- senger list." "This puts the matter beyond all doubt," exclaimed the detective. "If Francis Hastings arrived in America on June 6, he assuredly can't be the man now bearing his name in this city. As for Mr. Felix Hastings," went on Beckwith, looking again at the Chicago telegram, "he seems to have a charming faculty of being in two ulaces at oncc. No, no! Felix Hastings did not leave Chicago for San Francisco, but for New York, and he left yesterday morning-at the latest, and not to-day. Moreover, poor Francis Hastings is not at the Benedict, but at the bottom of some bog hole among the marshes that surround the Meadow Tavern." An hour later Beckwith was spinning rapidly on his wheel along the road that led to the lonely marsh-encompassed inn. Strangely enough his main thought wa<- (f Vivian Pricc. Her pale, set face as she had made that same trip with Hastings and himself, returned to his memory now with redoubt-ed force. "Poor, poor girl!" he murmured, "she id- ready begins to suspect him. I must save her at any cost. She, at least, could have been no party to the crime. That pure. high-bred f:;ce bespeaks a clear conscience. I shall save her despite herself from becoming a murderer's bride." Arrived ai the tavern Beckwith left his bicycle on the porch a-id entered the dark hallway. The mildewed parlour where he and Francis had sat that night was as he had last seen it. Tiie day was gloomy and no sunshine came through the broken, shutterless panes to en- I liven the prospect to lift the damp from the disused room. "As I'm likely to be here some time on ttiis search," thought Beckwith, "I may as well have one decently comfortable room. A fire on this hearth would dry the air in no time." Suiting the action to the word he knelt at the hearth and began to dear away the piled-up ashes in order to lay a new fire. Suddenly his hand closed on something that lay among the fluffy white ash, and he drew if out. He gazed long and earnestly at this grime- coated object. Then he started to his feet with a cry of joy- ful surprised "On the. track at last. thank heaven!" lie shouted. I I.To be continued on Monday.)
