JJISTINOTIVE FEATURES OF ESTERN MAIL Xjl NCYCLOP-EDIC 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 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 have been made to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the scientific information, the chemical and natural science nomenclature h^ine brought up to the very latest date. TTS 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 elucidate the text. THE RICHNESS AND COMPLETENESS OF THE ILLUSTRATIVE QUOTATIONS. In both of these most important points the "Western Mail" Encyclopscdk: 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 mea,nillg and each sub-division of each meaning is. in nearly everv case. illus- trated by a quotation, the whole work compris- ing a collection of examnles for the gathering together of which a very laree number of books of all classes and of every date has been specially read.. • The ordinary English Dict.innanes/have been 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. Rut. beyond tnese. it is impos- s ble to open any boolc or nanpr 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 passages in -Iiiel, thev nee,ir. no ordinary dictionary supnlies. In such cases the reader or student must, consequently, have recourse to some dictionary or elnssary sneciallv demoted to the collection and exvilnnation '-f terms i"> in'the particular branches of «cienre or art r'-V-h '1. —nr''= 'lolonc. -The "Western Mail" "Encvclonppdic Dictionary, by comhinine in one HI these sner^al glossaries or vocabu- lirie<5. pfFectc n double saving—an economy of time and of money.

THE MAN SHE DEARLY LOVED
THE MAN SHE DEARLY LOVED 8PIC1ALLY SF.T FOR THE cVENIHQ EXPRESS- SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS. I Francis and Felix Hastings are twin brothers m love with the same girl N'ivian Price. She is engaged to Francis. Charles Beckvwth, a ^ew York detective, meets one ot the twins at a lonely ruined i-avern on the Jersey meadows. The imi is run by a hune man Dnned ^in and hi» be;mtjfnl. ifFSncJ's Jhe twin who calls hiniseH l < that !f |j?-s ^st returned from ( h,llVH-iaA's W f. hls absence Felix has won man s f.r°m. him.

He searches for Hastings and finds him lying murdered in his room. Beckwith returns to New York in search of Felix Hastings to notify him of his brother's death. He finds Hastings at Miss 1 rice's Madison-avenue home, hut 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 atcry a, dream. He says he has not been to the Tavern in rears, and that his twin brother, being now In Chicago, cannot ha.ve been the man Beck- with says he met there. The detective is bewildered at Hasting 8 assertion that he is Francis, hut at length asks what has become nf a pearl ring which Francis always wore. Hastings changes colour at this question, it At « Idh tern » wto v^dua Prim enters and adds her testimony to that of HasUngs. even producing alereceded from Felix that very day. rhe letter bears a Chi-ugo postmark.

They accordingly the following morning. The_ "J hGln the bed where Beckwith last saw it, H.n<l close search of the premises reyeals nothing'. Beckwith poes next day to Chicago to look up Felix at the address given by Miss lie finds the man he has sought at the t.reycourt 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 twins hand is there &nv sign of the found across the palm of the corpse at the Meadow Tavern. Beckwith is dumb-founded. Since one twin js alive and well in New "York and the other in Chicago, and as but two men b«ar this njarveijous 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 Yrork eoes to consult a specialist in nervous diseases. CHAPTER V MEDICAL ADVICE AND WHAT CAMF OF IT. "There is some trickery about all this, Mr. Beckwith." The sp -aiccr was Dr. Burton, one of New York' moi-1, 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 tokl the story ot his a Ivenlure at the Meadow Tavern and the subsequent hap- penings. The defective had finished his narrative by spy- ing: — "You scf,, facts are all against nic, doctor. The evidence of my senses is conclusively disap- proved. So I must be under some wild delu- sion." "There is some trickery 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 parson 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 likeness ?" The doctor pondered a moment. "This is rather in your own line than mine, Mr. Be-jkwith," lie said at length. "It is a ca.,e for a detective rather than for a doctor. The mutter 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 i 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" "Well ?" "Don't laugh, Mr. Beckwith, but I'd like to solve this problem myself. Criminal investiga- tion has always been a fad of mine. In my pro- fession I meet stra.nge experiences at times, and being only a physician I have no chance to trace them to their source." "Tell me your ideas, doctor," said Beckwith, foiling readily in with Burton's whim. "and I'll enrry them cut fnd report, progress. "Good! I'll be a sort of silent partner and furnish such ideas as I can and let you work thfm out. But, for heaven's sake. Mr. Beckwith, keep my share of it quiet. It would never do to hrfve 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 iilo after my dull professional work. Don't grudge me this little recreation, Mr. Beckwith." "Well, and your idea?" "In the first place, I am inclined to agree with 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 cailed himself Francis and passed himself off as Miss Pricc s fiancee. So far I believe you are 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. "No. He preceded you. You never started till the morning after you found the body gone. He, I believe, left 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 tlirougih the agency of Stein) killed his brother. Your unforeseen arrival at the Meadow Tavern that night compli- cated matters. You say they didn't want to let you in. Had you not come and seen the bodv 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 had 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 he was congratulating himself on his good fortune in getting off so safely, he saw a new source of peril, 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 lie 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 ou that uigut, 1- and I'll bet my head you'll find he went to Meadow Tavern." "That was the reason then." cried the detec- tive, "that he was so ready to go there with me iicxt iiioi-niiis- "Exactly. He knew there was no evidence against him at the tavern. He might even be perfectly assured of throwing you off the track. But your obstinacy raised a new danger. You said you 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 Greycourt 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 £ o directly to his rooms at the Bene- dict "You'll find. Felix there, no doubt." "But Chicago?" broke in Beckwith. who began to see he had been duped. "You forget the F"lix of Chicago has gone to S,¡¡l Francisco on his way around the world and has left no address." What a fool I'vf beeii!" exel-umed Beckwith. jumping to his feet. "I'm a disgrace to liy trade. I see everything now:" "What do you mean to do?" "Francis told me at the tavern that night that lie just arrived from Chili. That was the sixth of June. I'n go to the shipping agency that has already done some good work for nle, and find what boat, lie came by and what date. That fact established. I can soon prove Felix j an imposter. I "And ccinciulier," 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 th.; nearest telegraph office and sent two dispatches. Then he rang up the Benedict apartment house on the telephone. "Is Mr. Felix Hastings at bone?" he asked cf til" uoy who answered the call. "No, sir." ».-ame the reply. "He went out ten minutes ago. "Good mused Beckwith, ibe employes at a big city apartment-house cant all be bribed like the proprietor oi an obscure Chicago hotel. Felix is evidently m town.' H, strolled down Fifth-avenue to his upart- ments. and half an hour later received two telegrams. They were in reply to the two lie liad just They were in reply to the two lie liad just sent. The first was from the proprietor of the Grey- court Hotet. Chicago. It ran; — v "Mr. Felix Hastings left for t)an Francisco enrly this morning." The second was from the shipping bureau. Beckwith's agent there had telegraphed: — "Only ship from Chili to New York thus far in June was the Balmaccda. Arrived morning of June 5. Francis Hastings s name is on pas- senger list. "This puis the matter beyond all doubt," exclaimed the detective. "If Francis Hastings arrived in America on June 6, he assuredly can't. be tlie man now bearing his name in this city. As for Mr. Felix Hastings." went on Beckwith. looking again at the Chicago telegram, "he i seems-to have a charrrting faculty of being in two places at once. :0, 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 was (f Vivian Price. Her pale, set face as she had made that same trip with Hastings and himself returned to his memory now with redoubted force. "Poor, poor girl!" he murmured, "she al- 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 I despite herself from becoming a murderers bride." Arrived at the tavern Beckwith left his bicycle on the porch and entered the dark hallway. The mildewed parlour where he and Francis had sat that night was as he had last seen it. The day was gloomy and no sunshine came through the broken, shutterless panes to en- liven the prospect to lift the damp from the disused room. "As I'm likely to be here some time on this search." thought Beckwkh. "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 lie knelt at the hearth and began to clear away the piled-up ashes in order to lay a new fire. Suddenly his hand closed on something that, — ■ ■' lay among the flufry white ash, and he drew i out. He gazed long and earnestly at this grime- coated object. Then he started to his feet with a cry of joy- ful surprse? "On the track at last, thank heaven!" he shouted. (To be continued on Monday.^
