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."

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.

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

"No. ' Of that I am quite sure. Shewas too - timid, and not miserableenough, by half! I had a theory thesame one the detectives seem to havehit npon." .

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. "Itwas 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 thecrime."

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.

. 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.

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.

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.

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.
