Ciiarijs J. Qriocm. Collector. Waterbnry, April 6th, 1893, in excellent snnpe, notably those of Groat I.iit. iii tttui Germany, whose work in all de-.:,- t ments eems 10 be more advanced thai; of most ot the other nations. One trouble with the galleries of fine arts is that the building irsDf is not yet finished, which tc;iils to delay setting up of exhibits. In tl.e niiiiu part otthe Fisheries build- ing the displays are being rapidly placed in position. It is asserted however thai every exhibit will be in Ks place, soon, but the indications are that it will require some active work to arrange it in less than two weeks. However, the dcors of the buUding were thrown open for visitors af- ter the opening exercises this morning. Thelli.ies and Mining building is simply a wilderness of boxes, unfinished booths and unpacked exhibits. It will be one mouth at least before this building is in proper order. Throughout the entire length and breadth of the building there h but one exhibit in complete readiness, and that is the one which came from the farthest end of the earth, from New South ' Wales. , - Opening of the Woman's Tiuildlng. With characteristic determination and enterprise, the lady managers of the Woman's building have about completed the installation of their exhibit. The building and exhibit will stand as a monu- ment to the energy and courage of tlte women of the present day. The formal opening exercises of the Woman's building will be held at 3 p. m. to-da- y In Music hall. The programme will be as follows: Grand march, Frau Ingeborg von Brous-urt'o- f Weimar, Germany. Prayer, Miss Ida Hultiu. By a superhuman exercise of that will-pow- er which had never failed him in the hour of his need, Eugene Nor- cross mastered his violent agitation. He looked 'at the slight, frail woman who had just arraigned him so fiercely with eyes from which the blazing' wrath had died out,-leavi- instead in- tense sadness and commiseration for his fellow-suffere- r. - There was that on this woman's sad. sweet face that stamped her kinship to his dead wife. Amelia had lied to him, had betrayed his absolute trust in her frivolously and cruelly. But she was gone, and this woman was sorrowing for her. Could he not bear with her a little while? And soyou are her sister?" he said, almost gently. Yes. Her only sister. nor only relative." "And you are " "Tho 'Nora.' to whom sho wrote that fatal letter." "Why do you call it 'that fatal let ter-?- " Sho looked at him with loathing. He was lighting n cigar! The table in front of him was strewn with dead stumps. She hod no means of knowing that it was his sedative the one thing that had kept his brain in working order during tho fierce ordeal of the past ten days. "Why do I call it that fatal letter? Beaau30 It caused my sister's death. Yonr callousness is monstrous Eujjeno Norcross!" You are absolutely saturated with an Insano idea. I se what you mean. but it is not clear to mo how you got your wild impression." I was in tho dressing-roo- m that day." "Well?" "And I heard you tell her, after toll' ing her about the letter coming back to you, that what you ought to do was ' He put up a hand imploringly: "I know! I know! I frightened the poor child! A man, unless he is more saint than man, does not suddenly make the discovery that he has been lied to, duped, entrapped, by a creature whom ho has regarded as almost flawless. without being temporarily thrown off his balance. If you never saw that let- ter you do not know how monstrously I had been deceived." "Yes, I do know it. It was all wrong. I had been telling her so. She had no riUi to marry you. Hut could you not have put her away from you in some other fashion? This is such a creat bir roomy world." "By God! I believe you are a lunatic! I loved my wife! I tried to treat her i I supposed a woman liked to be treated. 1 was not young when I mar ried her; I was not skilled with woman-kin- d, but I believe she was hap pyyes, I do believe she was content. I gave her everything she wanted." Aud took from her the thing she loved best of all her life." "Your dreary insistence makes it hard to be patient with you. If I were a guilty man, I should regard you as my Nemesis. I did not kill Amelia. I am not that sort of brute. You must be lieve me." 'Who did, then?'" In spite of herself. she was almost persuaded. I do not know. I have offered five thoiuuind dollars for tho answer to that question. "I heard you say that you ought to kill her That nvjht she was killed. Oh. the horror of it maddens me." A pretty piece of circumstantial evi dence. I admit Yes, your memory is 'jorrc.'t; I did tell her that 'I oucht to ci'.l her:' but it is not on record that Eugene Norcross ever did the thing he to do. Then, in less offensively defiant tones. perhaps in commiseration for the great anguish in the sweet white face before him. he added: She went away from me! Thank (iod, the last wards sho ever heard me "iV wi re i.i ap"d:?v for that brutal out- - xi I had never spoken angrily to .erbef. re I had never had occasion to do so. I believed in her utterly and entirely. Yes, she went away from me and returned to the women downstairs. I eould hear her voice above every t"i"r ona, tns irivost, clearest one here, as I went out. of the house again. I dined at the clubhouse that day. I wanted time to think the whole misera- ble business over fully before I met her acruin. 1 xvas ntriua l mignt lorgev that I was a gentleman and she a .vnruaii; false, damnably untruthful. but vet a weman. Nothing would be? easier than f .vr mo to prove an alibi if need bo. I did not care for my own, company that evening. I picked two lub men up on lea ving the houso, drove them to the club, dined with them, played whist with them, until until a messenger Dennett, I beliovo it was uamo to the club and informed me that Mrs. Norcross' maid, surprised at her mistress' not ringing for her at bedtime, went to look her up, she found her as you know. You are her sister, and you aro entitled to this much." He stopped talking, and, reaching for ward to a decanter on tho table, poured out a large wlneglasaful of Madeira, which he drank off at a gulp. Nora's eves hod never once left his face while ho was talking. "You believe me, do you not?" he asked, leaning wearily back in his chair, and drawing his handkerchief slowly across his lips. "You have left me no choice. I must believe you. I do." "This is the first and only statement I shall make on the subject. . I have of fered the reward, as I told you before. In a few days I leave for Europe. There is one thing I should like to do. Before you came, it looked impossible." She looked at him Inquiringly, What a strange turn things had taken! He began again, in a broken voice: - "In that letter she spoke of a child. I should like to know that it would not become a pauper would: never know the need which sometimes drives women to deceive men. If you will help me I do not know its name. There were no names 'mentioned. ' She only spoke of her little girl. By that I knew sho was a widow." "There is no need for that. The child will bo well cared for. But It U gen erous of you." the West, was packed to tho doorstep-b- a throng eager to see the distinguished visitor from abroad, as well as to attend the divine service. . Near the close ot the service four little altar boys stepped forward each carrying a large boquet of lilies and roses, which were presented to the Duke and his family. On the wey bock to the Auditorium hotel Mayor Harrison was honored with a short visit. Tho State TJuildinzs. Of the State buildings, that of Illinois is the largest. The main hall is 450 feet east and west and 160 feet wide, with a three-stor- y projection on the south,.. 75 by 125 feet. In the main hall the chief exhibit is that ot the State Board of Agriculture, which represents very profusely the agri cultural products of the State. The exhib its by Illinois women, those of the State Fish commission, etc., are very elaborate. ftew 1 orb s State buildmg represents a palatial villa of the 15th century. The in- terior decorations are richer than those of any other buildmg on the grounds, ana the wails are to be covered with costly paintings ot the natural scenery of the State. There will be no exhibit in this building, and it will be given up entirely to the comfort of the visitors. Maine's granite building is to be a home for Maine people at the Fair and is ele- gantly furnished. 1 rouablv no State building win attract so much attention a that of Pennsylvania because of its historic nnd patriotic associ- ations. It is a reproduction of the old Liberty hall in Philadelpia and within it is the historic Liberty iiell. The--builui-ng is hnudsomcly furnished within and will be utilized for the comfort of Pennsylvania people nt the Fair. Loinsana has a reproduction of a typical plantation building of the South. lVln-rar- s buiiuiugls a nomo-lik- e struc ture with low roof and broad piazzas.

A reproduction of the old Sbanish fort at St. Augustine in the floriua Estate building. West V irgima s building Is after the colonial style. Washington has a large State building constructed of logs. Massachusetts has copied in part the old Hancock residence, which stood on Beacon Hill, Posfon. New Jersey s building is a reproduction of Washington's headquarters at Norrls-tow- u. The Maryland State building will contain a considerable display, prominent in which will bo an oyster exhibit. The ir,riuia building is a counterpart of Mount Vernon, tho home of Washing- ton, and will be furnished in the same maimer. Vermont and Rhode Island both have unpretentious buildings ot tho colonial style. Almost all of the other otntes nave buildings representative of their industries, ways of living, etc. Some of them are very expensive. Mauufactu era and Liberal Arts Building. On a'.l the earth there was probably no busier community t han that which was working at top speed in the Manufacturers and Liberal Arts building of the World's Fair at Jackson park yesterday., it was a teeming city under iron and glass. Hun dreds of trucks rumbled through the streets and avenues of this SO acre house and thousands of men made the air ring with hammers and saws. The soft flap of the paint brush, and the bull burr of iron-litte- rs machines, supplemented the slatting and whanging of opening boxes and bales of exhibits. In a word or more, tho status of affairs in the building appeared nt least 30 days this side of the conditions ef readiness that might ba expected to exist on the opening day of the great exhibition. For one writer, or 20, to describe the details of scene and action in this, the largest building ever constructed, is not to be attempted. To fill iute tho picture all the minutiio on these floors, where JW,uuu people might bo seated, and ou which the greatest army of the earth might be mobil- ized, would bo to count the sands that might All a bushel measure. The building itself is completed. It is ready, and the incompleteness is within. The S1.700.UUU it was cstimateu to cost has been spent; the 3,000,000 feet of lum- ber needed to construct it is in place; tho 10,000,000 pounds of iron has been put in position; n:id the great Corinthian pile stands as a tnonument of genius to Ameri- can science and skill. Tho work being done yesterday had to do with the con struction of the city of booths, houses and temples to hold the display of the nations oi the earth who aro hero to vie with each other in the excellence of invention, con- struction, artisauships, manufactures aud line arts. Some of these are finished but a great nmiiy are still a long way from completion, while ninny others lack only a few finish- ing touches. Among tho last may be metitioiitsd Siatn, Jamaica, Engliiud, Can- - aim, Jauan, tieigium ami nouauu. France, noblo France, is perhaps the most tartly in her preparations, not be- cause she is doing so much and is doing it so well. lL-- ground floor structures are well progressed and some aro finished, but the most important structural work is yet untleV the hands of her white frocked ar- tists and artisans. The gallery booths and picture walls of France are as yet being prepared. The electrical display far surpasses any- thing the management o the great Fair had ever hoped to secure. There is in this palace of wonders everything in the way of an electricat contrivance, from Benjamin Frankliu's lightning rod, tho first instru- ment tor the commercial application of electricity, down to Edison's latest achieve- ments, the" kinetogr.iph mid electric syn- chronism. In this building 80 per cent, of the ex- hibits have arrived, and according to a statement prepared by Supt. Barrett GO per cent, of these nro installed. The building will be complete in it entirety within 10 days. Broadly speaki the week of preparing facilities for showing the boxed up goods is now going forward under pressure and at least 30 days would not lie too much time in which all this might well be done. The authorities appreciate the situation, as is evidenced by huge placards that were tacked un in all parts of tlie Manufactur ers and Arts building. Tlioy have this alliterative headliuo in big black poster types: '.'Vim, Vigor, Victory." Then follows an exhortation to haste to preparations and at tho close these words in bior tvne: "There ia no such word- as fail." Followine this istheaiinouncement that the building wbuld be surrendered to the sweepers and cleaners at night. Fino Art Galleries. There is less confusion in tho fine art galleries than in any of the other buildings, but this is owing as much to the fact that the exhibits are less cumbersome and more easily handled than those in the other buildings.

I had a theory the same one the detectives seem to have hit npon." . " He pointed to the papers she had thrown on his table. "You mean the strange, plainly-dresse- d woman who was admitted to Mrs. Norcross in the afternoon, and who, according to the papers, 'stole out by a side entrance, evidently shunning observation.' That was I." "So I presumed. That was why I saidl had a theory. I have none now." "Nor any clew whatever?" "None. Unless" he opened a drawer of the writing table and took from it a small pasteboard box "this may even- tually prove to be one." He extended It, unopened, to Nora Lorimer. "It was found clasped in one of her hands. But she had so many trinkets and bau- bles that I lay no stress upon it scarce- ly know how to connect It with the crime." Nora drew from the box with tremb- ling fingers a broken piece of gold chain. Attached to it was a seal of some clear translucent stone. An in taglio with a device which it was not easy to read at a first glance marked it. It was such a seal as years before had been used for impressing the wax on letters. It was large, and not particu larly fine in workmanship. She felt quite sure it had not been amongAmelia't, few possessions in her girlhood; nor was it such a seal as the wealthy Mrs. Norcross would have been likely to pur chase. Moreover, seals were not In fashionable demand just then, "May I keep this. Mr. Norcro&s?" she asked, replacing the possible "tdew In the box. She hod studied it carefully. ' Ho was leaning back in his chair with closed eyes. His fa;-- was worn and haggard.

We have ex onerated each other, but intensified the mystery. Perhaps time will solve it; (erhaps we will never know until " , "She solves the mystery for H3 her- self, over there," said Nora, turning way from Amelia's husband nnd the larkened homo which would never Again resound to tho of guy voices or be converted into a bower oi roses. ' As she passed out into the lamp-lighte- d streets, she repeated his words with a sense of absolute powerlessness: "Wo have exonerated each other, but intensified the mystery." . She melted some wax as soon as she got back to her room, and made a suc- cession of impressions with tho seal she had brought away with her nntil the design was fully revealed. The result was disappointing. ' She had hoped for a monogram, at least an initial, by way of clow. There stared her in the face, instead, a dozen more or less perfect waxen effigies of a "martlet," an absurd bird with abbre viated legs and wings. Sho held it elose to the light to examine It minute- ly: "Not at all pretty. Therefore it must mean something." The Change of Life.

This liiitiiiilcent Maze of color is the one thing which will most impress the visitor with the oulsula glories of the Fair. When President Cleveland pressed the electric buttou to sign.il the formal opening of the os Id s Columbian Exposition this morning the public found the. 1 uir ma somewhat incomplete condition still, but this regretful condition is due more to the tardiness of exhibitors than to any lack of real on the t art of the management of the Fair. Nearly every building constructed by the Exposition proper in the great white city Is piacticallv complete, and, while general confusion still reigns in most of the struc tures, it is in the matter of tho installa tion of exhibits a;id not a delay which can be attributed to any failure of the con struction department. Indeed, to Chief Buriib.un and 1 resideuc Higginbothmn must bo givpn most of the credit for the pheuomenal labors which have enlivened a barren park into an artistic city iu the brief space of 10 months.

For weeks it was almost imposiioie t worlc on tne outside ol the u orltl s i a.r structure and the heavy snow storms of tho winter did much damage to the rools of several of these architectural triumphs on more than one occasion. In tho brief r. spites afforded by the weather from time to time, however, every resource of capital and executive ability was brought to bear to hasten the work, and although tho unfavorable ele ments have waged almost constant warfare like revengeful beings of intelligence, up to the opening day, the only significant effect has been to delay the installation of exhibits and retard the completion of sjv eral structures wlucu were rattier tlie ar tistic trimmings of uftertliought than a component part of the World's Fair. lue great buildings which constitute the vital conception of the international expo sition aud which are a monument to tho indomitable executive ability of Chief Burnham and his associates have been completed for weeks and ready for the in stallation of exhibits, lliey are the Maim facturcrs aud Liberal Arts building.

How Sunday was Spent. President Cleveland and the members of his cabinet attended divine service yes terday morning at the Second Presbyterian church which is two squares north of the Lexington hotel, where tho president is stopping. Word had been sent that the party would attend the services, and sir rangeuients had been made so that the entire party could be seated together. The entry into church was made in the most quiet manner possible, the President and Secretary of State liresham entenn side by side, followed closely by the otiie members of the cabinet. There had beeu no formal aimouncomen of the President's intention to attend tin church, save to the ushers who had pre cared the seats for them, and iiis walking up the is'e created something of a censation, After the pastor, tho Kev. Simon J. Ale Pherson, had concluded the services during which he invoked the divine blessing upoi the exposition and its mission of good wi among men, the President entered Mr Uresham s carriage and was quickly driver to the home, of the Secretary of State where he dined. A pleasant feature o this visit was the christening of the grand daughter of the Secretary, the child of iir and Mrs. Andrews. None but dr. Clove land and the immediate members of tht Gresham family were prosenf. at the christening. 'Otto Gresham, the uncle of the infant, was the god-fathe- r.

The, wonder and the horror of it all were on the wane for every one but thoso Im- mediately connected with it, and for the detectives, whose professional pride and pecuniary interests were involved in tho solution of a mystery which threatened to prove insoluble. It was becoming difficult for the most enterprising1 of reporters to glean fresh items concerning1 it for tho col- umns of hia especial daily. The freshest were That "Eugene Norcross proposed go ing to Europe for an extended tour of ;ie continent. Might perhaps bo gone ears." That "Eugene Norcross had offered a reward of five thousand dollars for the pprehension of tho murderer or mur derers." That "the detectives were on the trail of an unknown woman who hod been admitted to tho house on the fatal Fri- day of the murder." That "Mr. Norcross had preserved the strictest silence on the subject, re nal ned closely confined to the house in ICsplanade street, and sternly refused to he interviewed. No papers were per mitted in tho house." nt this glooin-wrappo- d isolation a visitor penetrated late one afternoon, mil was announced to his master by Bennett, in a startled undertone: "A person for you, sir. The same, I think, that was in the dressing1 room that day." Tho study was so dark that the butler eonld just discern tho tall dark form in the big chair by tho writing table. He added a personal apology: I was listening for your bell, sir. Sha'n't I light up?" There was a restless movement In tho big chair, the sound of a hand brought heavily down among the loose litter of the writing-tabl- e, then a curt demand: Light up. Let her come in. Leave. And see to It that there Is no listening among the maids." As the gas-j- et sprang into existence. Eugene Norcross, looking across Ben nett's shoulder, caw a sad white face framed about with a plain black bon net. Its owner's eyes were fixed upon him searchingly. Evidently she had planned her approach. If she had hoped to surprise any evidence of guilt upon the stern, handsome, haggard face op posite her, she was disappointed. He met her intense gaze with one equally Intense His calmness remained abso lute, hia whole attltud.one of unflinch- ing fortitude. That he had suffered at all could only be conjectured from the black rings under his eyes, and a certain pinched look about his fine, thin nostrils. The habits of a lifetime are not easily forgotten. There was a woman stand ing while he was seated. He rose, waved her to a seat, staggered from physical exhaustion, laid one long brown hand resolutely on the back of his chair, and waited for Bennett to close the outer door of the library after him. lie spoke first: You have taken a daring step. Do you know what you are suspected of? Are you not afraid of arrest?" She looked him composedly over from head to foot. A shudder ran through her Blight frame as she tightened her clasp of a roll of newspapers she held. No," she said, "I am not afraid of arrest. That was what I came here to say. a daring step for you to take." I do not understand." lint it was In keeping. The man who could murder one woman might readily seek to throw suspicion upon another one." He was visibly trembling; was it from physical weakness? She had refused to be seated, and he had remained stand' ing. He dropped heavily into his chair, as that slight frail woman hurled the monstrous accusation at him. In a voice which, though perfectly under control. was fierce in its intense emotion. She misread his agitation: I do not wonder that you tremble. The man who could take a woman s life, who could clasp his brutal hands around her slim white throat and keep them there while her strong young lifc-- ourrent ebbed out forever, is just the sort of man to pale and tremble at fear of detection. Itrutel Cowardly brute that you are! I would have denounced you publicly at once, but I thought. No! they will drag my poor Mellie from the grave, his rich friends, and they will buy him off from justice at any price. They will parade all of her weakness and her folly to the world! They will blacken her memory, as he, as you, Eugene Norcross, blackened the soft smooth white skin of her pretty neck My poor little Mel lie I My pret ty, foolish butterfly!" Great God! this is horrible! too horrible to stand I" Ills eyes blazed like living coals. Ills arched black brows came together In a fierce contraction. The solid ehair shook under him. She echoed him sternly. 'Horrible! too horrible! I agree with you. Was it not enough to put her out of the way, she so slight and weak and helpless, yon so strong, without involv ing me? It must have been absurdly easy "What?" he asked, stupidly. "To ohoke her. I could have done it myself." He pushed tho damp masses of hair back from hia forehead with both hands. It' was almost a gesture of despair. How could he silence this woman? How rid himself of her? He eould ring for Bennett and send for an officer; but she ol aimed to be Amelia's aiater.

    Ciiarijs J. Qriocm. Collector.Waterbnry, April 6th, 1893,

    in excellent snnpe, notably those of GroatI.iit. iii tttui Germany, whose work in allde-.:,- t ments eems 10 be more advancedthai; of most ot the other nations. Onetrouble with the galleries of fine arts isthat the building irsDf is not yet finished,which tc;iils to delay setting up of exhibits.

    In tl.e niiiiu part otthe Fisheries build-ing the displays are being rapidly placedin position. It is asserted however thaievery exhibit will be in Ks place, soon,but the indications are that it will requiresome active work to arrange it in less thantwo weeks. However, the dcors of thebuUding were thrown open for visitors af-ter the opening exercises this morning.

    Thelli.ies and Mining building is simplya wilderness of boxes, unfinished boothsand unpacked exhibits. It will be onemouth at least before this building is inproper order. Throughout the entirelength and breadth of the building there hbut one exhibit in complete readiness,and that is the one which came from thefarthest end of the earth, from New South'Wales. , -

    Opening of the Woman's Tiuildlng.With characteristic determination and

    enterprise, the lady managers of theWoman's building have about completedthe installation of their exhibit. Thebuilding and exhibit will stand as a monu-ment to the energy and courage of tltewomen of the present day.

    The formal opening exercises of theWoman's building will be held at 3 p. m.to-da-y In Music hall.

    The programme will be as follows:Grand march, Frau Ingeborg von Brous-urt'o- f

    Weimar, Germany.Prayer, Miss Ida Hultiu.

    By a superhuman exercise of thatwill-pow-er which had never failed himin the hour of his need, Eugene Nor-cross mastered his violent agitation.He looked 'at the slight, frail womanwho had just arraigned him so fiercelywith eyes from which the blazing'wrath had died out,-leavi- instead in-tense sadness and commiseration forhis fellow-suffere- r. -

    There was that on this woman's sad.sweet face that stamped her kinship tohis dead wife. Amelia had lied to him,had betrayed his absolute trust in herfrivolously and cruelly. But she wasgone, and this woman was sorrowingfor her. Could he not bear with her alittle while?

    And soyou are her sister?" hesaid, almost gently.

    Yes. Her only sister. nor onlyrelative."

    "And you are ""Tho 'Nora.' to whom sho wrote that

    fatal letter.""Why do you call it 'that fatal let

    ter-?-"

    Sho looked at him with loathing. Hewas lighting n cigar! The table in frontof him was strewn with dead stumps.She hod no means of knowing that itwas his sedative the one thing thathad kept his brain in working orderduring tho fierce ordeal of the past tendays.

    "Why do I call it that fatal letter?Beaau30 It caused my sister's death.Yonr callousness is monstrous EujjenoNorcross!"

    You are absolutely saturated withan Insano idea. I se what you mean.but it is not clear to mo how you gotyour wild impression."

    I was in tho dressing-roo- m thatday."

    "Well?""And I heard you tell her, after toll'

    ing her about the letter coming back toyou, that what you ought to do was '

    He put up a hand imploringly:"I know! I know! I frightened the

    poor child! A man, unless he is moresaint than man, does not suddenly makethe discovery that he has been lied to,duped, entrapped, by a creature whomho has regarded as almost flawless.without being temporarily thrown offhis balance. If you never saw that let-ter you do not know how monstrouslyI had been deceived."

    "Yes, I do know it. It was all wrong.I had been telling her so. She had noriUi to marry you. Hut could you nothave put her away from you in someother fashion? This is such a creat birroomy world."

    "By God! I believe you are a lunatic!I loved my wife! I tried to treat her

    i I supposed a woman liked to betreated. 1 was not young when I married her; I was not skilled withwoman-kin- d, but I believe she was happyyes, I do believe she was content.I gave her everything she wanted."

    Aud took from her the thing sheloved best of all her life."

    "Your dreary insistence makes it hardto be patient with you. If I were aguilty man, I should regard you as myNemesis. I did not kill Amelia. I amnot that sort of brute. You must believe me."

    'Who did, then?'" In spite of herself.she was almost persuaded.

    I do not know. I have offered fivethoiuuind dollars for tho answer to thatquestion.

    "I heard you say that you ought tokill her That nvjht she was killed. Oh.the horror of it maddens me."

    A pretty piece of circumstantial evidence. I admit Yes, your memory is'jorrc.'t; I did tell her that 'I oucht toci'.l her:' but it is not on record thatEugene Norcross ever did the thing he

    to do.Then, in less offensively defiant tones.

    perhaps in commiseration for the greatanguish in the sweet white face beforehim. he added:

    She went away from me! Thank(iod, the last wards sho ever heard me"iV wi re i.i ap"d:?v for that brutal out- -

    xi I had never spoken angrily to.erbef. re I had never had occasionto do so. I believed in her utterly andentirely. Yes, she went away from meand returned to the women downstairs.I eould hear her voice above everyt"i"r ona, tns irivost, clearest onehere, as I went out. of the house again.

    I dined at the clubhouse that day. Iwanted time to think the whole misera-ble business over fully before I met heracruin. 1 xvas ntriua l mignt lorgevthat I was a gentleman and she a.vnruaii; false, damnably untruthful.but vet a weman. Nothing would be?easier than f .vr mo to prove an alibi ifneed bo. I did not care for my own,company that evening. I picked twolub men up on lea ving the houso, drove

    them to the club, dined with them,played whist with them, until until amessenger Dennett, I beliovo it wasuamo to the club and informed me thatMrs. Norcross' maid, surprised at hermistress' not ringing for her at bedtime,went to look her up, she found her asyou know. You are her sister, and youaro entitled to this much."

    He stopped talking, and, reaching forward to a decanter on tho table, pouredout a large wlneglasaful of Madeira,which he drank off at a gulp. Nora'seves hod never once left his face whileho was talking.

    "You believe me, do you not?" heasked, leaning wearily back in hischair, and drawing his handkerchiefslowly across his lips.

    "You have left me no choice. I mustbelieve you. I do."

    "This is the first and only statementI shall make on the subject. . I have offered the reward, as I told you before.In a few days I leave for Europe. Thereis one thing I should like to do. Beforeyou came, it looked impossible."

    She looked at him Inquiringly,What a strange turn things had taken!He began again, in a broken voice: -

    "In that letter she spoke of a child.I should like to know that it would notbecome a pauper would: never knowthe need which sometimes driveswomen to deceive men. If you will helpme I do not know its name. Therewere no names 'mentioned. ' She onlyspoke of her little girl. By that I knewsho was a widow."

    "There is no need for that. The childwill bo well cared for. But It U generous of you."

    the West, was packed to tho doorstep-b- athrong eager to see the distinguishedvisitor from abroad, as well as to attendthe divine service. .

    Near the close ot the service four littlealtar boys stepped forward each carrying alarge boquet of lilies and roses, which werepresented to the Duke and his family. Onthe wey bock to the Auditorium hotelMayor Harrison was honored with a shortvisit.

    Tho State TJuildinzs.Of the State buildings, that of Illinois is

    the largest. The main hall is 450 feet eastand west and 160 feet wide, with a three-stor- y

    projection on the south,.. 75 by 125feet. In the main hall the chief exhibitis that ot the State Board of Agriculture,which represents very profusely the agricultural products of the State. The exhibits by Illinois women, those of the StateFish commission, etc., are very elaborate.

    ftew 1 orb s State buildmg represents apalatial villa of the 15th century. The in-terior decorations are richer than those ofany other buildmg on the grounds, anathe wails are to be covered with costlypaintings ot the natural scenery of theState. There will be no exhibit in thisbuilding, and it will be given up entirely tothe comfort of the visitors.

    Maine's granite building is to be a homefor Maine people at the Fair and is ele-gantly furnished.

    1 rouablv no State building win attractso much attention a that of Pennsylvaniabecause of its historic nnd patriotic associ-ations. It is a reproduction of the oldLiberty hall in Philadelpia and within it isthe historic Liberty iiell.

    The Maryland State building will containa considerable display, prominent in whichwill bo an oyster exhibit.

    The ir,riuia building is a counterpartof Mount Vernon, tho home of Washing-ton, and will be furnished in the samemaimer.

    Vermont and Rhode Island both haveunpretentious buildings ot tho colonialstyle.

    Almost all of the other otntes navebuildings representative of their industries,ways of living, etc. Some of them arevery expensive.Mauufactu era and Liberal Arts Building.

    On a'.l the earth there was probably nobusier community t han that which wasworking at top speed in the Manufacturersand Liberal Arts building of the World'sFair at Jackson park yesterday., it was ateeming city under iron and glass. Hundreds of trucks rumbled through thestreets and avenues of this SO acre houseand thousands of men made the air ringwith hammers and saws. The soft flap ofthe paint brush, and the bull burr of iron-litte- rs

    machines, supplemented the slattingand whanging of opening boxes and balesof exhibits.

    In a word or more, tho status of affairsin the building appeared nt least 30 daysthis side of the conditions ef readinessthat might ba expected to exist on theopening day of the great exhibition. Forone writer, or 20, to describe the detailsof scene and action in this, the largestbuilding ever constructed, is not to beattempted. To fill iute tho picture all theminutiio on these floors, where JW,uuupeople might bo seated, and ou which thegreatest army of the earth might be mobil-ized, would bo to count the sands thatmight All a bushel measure.

    The building itself is completed. It isready, and the incompleteness is within.The S1.700.UUU it was cstimateu to costhas been spent; the 3,000,000 feet of lum-ber needed to construct it is in place; tho10,000,000 pounds of iron has been put inposition; n:id the great Corinthian pilestands as a tnonument of genius to Ameri-can science and skill. Tho work beingdone yesterday had to do with the construction of the city of booths, houses andtemples to hold the display of the nationsoi the earth who aro hero to vie with eachother in the excellence of invention, con-struction, artisauships, manufactures audline arts.

    Some of these are finished but a greatnmiiy are still a long way from completion,while ninny others lack only a few finish-ing touches. Among tho last may bemetitioiitsd Siatn, Jamaica, Engliiud, Can- -aim, Jauan, tieigium ami nouauu.

    France, noblo France, is perhaps themost tartly in her preparations, not be-cause she is doing so much and is doing itso well. lL-- ground floor structures arewell progressed and some aro finished, butthe most important structural work is yetuntleV the hands of her white frocked ar-tists and artisans. The gallery booths andpicture walls of France are as yet beingprepared.

    The electrical display far surpasses any-thing the management o the great Fairhad ever hoped to secure. There is in thispalace of wonders everything in the way ofan electricat contrivance, from BenjaminFrankliu's lightning rod, tho first instru-ment tor the commercial application ofelectricity, down to Edison's latest achieve-ments, the" kinetogr.iph mid electric syn-chronism.

    In this building 80 per cent, of the ex-hibits have arrived, and according to astatement prepared by Supt. Barrett GOper cent, of these nro installed. Thebuilding will be complete in it entiretywithin 10 days.

    Broadly speaki the week of preparingfacilities for showing the boxed up goodsis now going forward under pressure andat least 30 days would not lie too muchtime in which all this might well be done.The authorities appreciate the situation,as is evidenced by huge placards that weretacked un in all parts of tlie Manufacturers and Arts building. Tlioy have thisalliterative headliuo in big black postertypes: '.'Vim, Vigor, Victory."

    Then follows an exhortation to haste topreparations and at tho close these wordsin bior tvne: "There ia no such word- asfail." Followine this istheaiinouncementthat the building wbuld be surrendered tothe sweepers and cleaners at night.

    Fino Art Galleries.There is less confusion in tho fine art

    galleries than in any of the other buildings,but this is owing as much to the fact thatthe exhibits are less cumbersome andmore easily handled than those in theother buildings. Some of the exhibit's rB

    He pointed to the papers she hadthrown on his table.

    "You mean the strange, plainly-dresse- dwoman who was admitted to

    Mrs. Norcross in the afternoon, andwho, according to the papers, 'stole outby a side entrance, evidently shunningobservation.' That was I."

    "So I presumed. That was why Isaidl had a theory. I have none now."

    "Nor any clew whatever?""None. Unless" he opened a drawer

    of the writing table and took from it asmall pasteboard box "this may even-tually prove to be one." He extendedIt, unopened, to Nora Lorimer.

    Nora drew from the box with tremb-ling fingers a broken piece of goldchain. Attached to it was a seal ofsome clear translucent stone. An intaglio with a device which it was noteasy to read at a first glance markedit. It was such a seal as years beforehad been used for impressing the wax onletters. It was large, and not particularly fine in workmanship. She feltquite sure it had not been amongAmelia't,few possessions in her girlhood; norwas it such a seal as the wealthy Mrs.Norcross would have been likely to purchase. Moreover, seals were not Infashionable demand just then,

    "May I keep this. Mr. Norcro&s?" sheasked, replacing the possible "tdew Inthe box. She hod studied it carefully.

    ' Ho was leaning back in his chairwith closed eyes. His fa;-- was wornand haggard. He waved his hand inconsent, sat up presently, antPheld outhis hand to lu-r- : -

    , "She solves the mystery for H3 her-self, over there," said Nora, turningway from Amelia's husband nnd the

    larkened homo which would neverAgain resound to tho of guyvoices or be converted into a bower oiroses.' As she passed out into the lamp-lighte- d

    streets, she repeated his wordswith a sense of absolute powerlessness:

    "Wo have exonerated each other, butintensified the mystery."

    . She melted some wax as soon as shegot back to her room, and made a suc-cession of impressions with tho seal shehad brought away with her nntil thedesign was fully revealed. The resultwas disappointing.' She had hoped for a monogram, atleast an initial, by way of clow. Therestared her in the face, instead, a dozenmore or less perfect waxen effigies of a"martlet," an absurd bird with abbreviated legs and wings. Sho held itelose to the light to examine It minute-ly:

    "Not at all pretty. Therefore itmust mean something."

    When President Cleveland pressed theelectric buttou to sign.il the formal openingof the os Id s Columbian Exposition thismorning the public found the. 1 uir m asomewhat incomplete condition still, butthis regretful condition is due more to thetardiness of exhibitors than to any lack ofreal on the t art of the management of theFair.

    Nearly every building constructed by theExposition proper in the great white cityIs piacticallv complete, and, while generalconfusion still reigns in most of the structures, it is in the matter of tho installation of exhibits a;id not a delay which canbe attributed to any failure of the construction department. Indeed, to ChiefBuriib.un and 1 resideuc Higginbothmnmust bo givpn most of the credit for thepheuomenal labors which have enlivened abarren park into an artistic city iu thebrief space of 10 months.

    In tho brief r. spites afforded by theweather from time to time, however,every resource of capital and executiveability was brought to bear to hasten thework, and although tho unfavorable elements have waged almost constant warfarelike revengeful beings of intelligence, upto the opening day, the only significanteffect has been to delay the installation ofexhibits and retard the completion of sjveral structures wlucu were rattier tlie artistic trimmings of uftertliought than acomponent part of the World's Fair.

    How Sunday was Spent.President Cleveland and the members

    of his cabinet attended divine service yesterday morning at the Second Presbyterianchurch which is two squares north of theLexington hotel, where tho president isstopping. Word had been sent that theparty would attend the services, and sirrangeuients had been made so that theentire party could be seated together.

    The entry into church was made in themost quiet manner possible, the Presidentand Secretary of State liresham entennside by side, followed closely by the otiiemembers of the cabinet.

    There had beeu no formal aimouncomenof the President's intention to attend tinchurch, save to the ushers who had precared the seats for them, and iiis walkingup the is'e created something of a censation,

    After the pastor, tho Kev. Simon J. AlePherson, had concluded the services duringwhich he invoked the divine blessing upoithe exposition and its mission of good wiamong men, the President entered MrUresham s carriage and was quickly driverto the home, of the Secretary of Statewhere he dined. A pleasant feature othis visit was the christening of the granddaughter of the Secretary, the child of iirand Mrs. Andrews. None but dr. Cloveland and the immediate members of thtGresham family were prosenf. at thechristening. 'Otto Gresham, the uncle ofthe infant, was the god-fathe- r.

    CHAPTEJt X"The Norcross affair," ns it had come

    to be called with the brutal flippancy ofthe newspapers, was ten days old. The,wonder and the horror of it all were onthe wane for every one but thoso Im-mediately connected with it, and forthe detectives, whose professional prideand pecuniary interests were involvedin tho solution of a mystery whichthreatened to prove insoluble.

    It was becoming difficult for the mostenterprising1 of reporters to gleanfresh items concerning1 it for tho col-umns of hia especial daily. The freshestwere

    That "Eugene Norcross proposed going to Europe for an extended tour of;ie continent. Might perhaps bo goneears."That "Eugene Norcross had offered a

    reward of five thousand dollars for thepprehension of tho murderer or mur

    derers."That "the detectives were on the trail

    of an unknown woman who hod beenadmitted to tho house on the fatal Fri-day of the murder."

    That "Mr. Norcross had preservedthe strictest silence on the subject, renal ned closely confined to the house inICsplanade street, and sternly refused tohe interviewed. No papers were permitted in tho house."

    nt this glooin-wrappo- d isolation avisitor penetrated late one afternoon,mil was announced to his master byBennett, in a startled undertone:

    "A person for you, sir. The same, Ithink, that was in the dressing1 roomthat day."

    Tho study was so dark that the butlereonld just discern tho tall dark form inthe big chair by tho writing table. Headded a personal apology:

    I was listening for your bell, sir.Sha'n't I light up?"

    There was a restless movement In thobig chair, the sound of a hand broughtheavily down among the loose litter ofthe writing-tabl- e, then a curt demand:

    Light up. Let her come in. Leave.And see to It that there Is no listeningamong the maids."

    As the gas-j- et sprang into existence.Eugene Norcross, looking across Bennett's shoulder, caw a sad white faceframed about with a plain black bonnet. Its owner's eyes were fixed uponhim searchingly. Evidently she hadplanned her approach. If she had hopedto surprise any evidence of guilt uponthe stern, handsome, haggard face opposite her, she was disappointed. Hemet her intense gaze with one equallyIntense His calmness remained absolute, hia whole attltud.one of unflinch-ing fortitude.

    That he had suffered at all could onlybe conjectured from the black ringsunder his eyes, and a certain pinchedlook about his fine, thin nostrils.

    The habits of a lifetime are not easilyforgotten. There was a woman standing while he was seated. He rose,waved her to a seat, staggered fromphysical exhaustion, laid one longbrown hand resolutely on the back ofhis chair, and waited for Bennett toclose the outer door of the library afterhim. lie spoke first:

    You have taken a daring step. Doyou know what you are suspected of?Are you not afraid of arrest?"

    She looked him composedly over fromhead to foot. A shudder ran throughher Blight frame as she tightened herclasp of a roll of newspapers she held.

    No," she said, "I am not afraid ofarrest. That was what I came here tosay. a daring step for you totake."

    I do not understand."lint it was In keeping. The man

    who could murder one woman mightreadily seek to throw suspicion uponanother one."

    He was visibly trembling; was it fromphysical weakness? She had refused tobe seated, and he had remained stand'ing. He dropped heavily into his chair,as that slight frail woman hurled themonstrous accusation at him. In a voicewhich, though perfectly under control.was fierce in its intense emotion. Shemisread his agitation:

    I do not wonder that you tremble.The man who could take a woman slife, who could clasp his brutal handsaround her slim white throat and keepthem there while her strong young lifc--ourrent ebbed out forever, is just thesort of man to pale and tremble at fearof detection. Itrutel Cowardly brutethat you are! I would have denouncedyou publicly at once, but I thought.No! they will drag my poor Mellie fromthe grave, his rich friends, and theywill buy him off from justice at anyprice. They will parade all of herweakness and her folly to the world!They will blacken her memory, as he,as you, Eugene Norcross, blackened thesoft smooth white skin of her prettyneck My poor little Mel lie I My pretty, foolish butterfly!"

    Great God! this is horrible! toohorrible to stand I"

    Ills eyes blazed like living coals. Illsarched black brows came together In afierce contraction. The solid ehairshook under him. She echoed himsternly.

    'Horrible! too horrible! I agree withyou. Was it not enough to put her outof the way, she so slight and weak andhelpless, yon so strong, without involving me? It must have been absurdlyeasy

    "What?" he asked, stupidly."To ohoke her. I could have done it

    myself."He pushed tho damp masses of hair

    back from hia forehead with bothhands. It' was almost a gesture ofdespair. How could he silence thiswoman? How rid himself of her? Heeould ring for Bennett and send for anofficer; but she ol aimed to be Amelia'saiater. ' It was with the hope of enlightenment that he ihad consented to seeher. ' He listened as in a dream to hercruelly composed voice:

    "But it would have done no good todenounce you. You were too rich andnowerfuL Thoucrh I misrht have swornto your aruilton Oods Holy Bible, whowould have believed me? You wouldhave gone soot-fre- e, after my poor Mel-lie- 's
