There was no need that she should ten me more. "And the gold?" I asked. She drew a key from her pocket and gave It to me. "It Is in a box upstairs," she said. 1 took the key and followed her to the floor above. The box, of heavy oak, bound with iron, with steamship- and express labels fresh upon It, stood In one corner. I unlocked it and threw back the lid. Package upon package lay in it. Just as they had come from (the subtreasury. I locked the box again and put the key in my pocket. "Of course," I said as I turned to go, I can only repeat your story to my companion, lie and Miss Holladay will decide what steps to take." They bowed without replying, and I went out along the path between the trees, leaving them alone with their dead. Joy is a great restorer, and a week of happiness in this enchanted Paris had wrought wonders in our junior and his betrothed. It was good to look at them, to smile at them sometimes, as when they stood unseeing before some splendid canvas at the Louvre. The past was put aside, forgotten. They lived only for the future. And a near future too. There was no reason why it should be deferred, and so they were wedded, with only we three for witnesses, at the pretty chapel of St Luke's, near the Boule vard Montparnasse. There was a little breakfast after ward at Mrs. Kemball's apartment. and then our hostess bade them adieu, and her daughter and I drove with them across Paris to the Gare de Lyon, where they were to take train for a fortnight on the Riviera. We waved them off and turned back together. 'It is a desecration to use a carriage on such a day," said my companion. So we dismissed ours and sauntered toward the river. I "So that is the end of the story," she said musingly. j "Of their story, yes," I interjected. ; "But there are still certain things I do not quite understand," she contin ued, not heeding me. I "Yes?" ! "For instance, why did they trouble to keep her prisoner?" j "Family affection?" "Nonsense! There could be none. Besides, the man dominated them, and I believe him to have been capable of any crime." "Perhaps he meant the hundred thou sand tn h onlv the first nflrmont With ! her at hand, he mlcht hone to set more Indefinitely. Without her" Well, without her?"

"Touche!" she cried. I bowed my thanks. I was learning French rapidly. "But Frances did not see them again?" "Oh, no. She preferred not." "And the money?" "Was left In the box. I sent back the key. She wished it so. After all. It was her mother" "Yes, of course. Perhaps she was not really so bad." "She wasn't," I said decidedly. "But the man" "Was a genius. I'm almost sorry he's dead." "Pm more than sorry. It has taken an Interest out of life." We had come out upon the bridge of ' Austerlltz and paused involuntarily. "And now the mystery is cleared away," she said, "and the prince and the princess are wedded, Just as they were In the fairy tales of onr child hood. It's a good ending." "For all stories," I added. She turned and looked at me. "There are other stories," I explained. "Theirs is not the only one."

There might be an other, for Instance, with you and me as the principals." I dared not look at. her. I could only stare ahead of me down at the water. She made no sign; the moments passed. "Might be," I said desperately. "But there's a wide abyss between the pos sible and the actual." Still no sign. I had offended her I might have known! But I mustered courage to steal a sidelong glance at her. She was smiling down at the water, and her eyes were very bright. "Not always," she whispered. "Not always." THE END.

ILsncol O-Alr UlMSOla., Birthplace 8- - "V5r" BRAHAM LIN COLN'S biogra pher, Ward Hill Lamon, was also his friend, part ner and body guard. A mem ber of Lincoln's cabinet wrote of Lamon that he "was " with him Lincoln! more than any other man, there be ing no one In whom he so much confided and to whom he gave such free expression o t his feelings to ward others and WARD H. LAMON. ' about his trials and troubles in conducting his great of fice." Born in Virginia in 1826 or 1S27. Lamon at an early age removed to Danville, 111. He practiced law at Dan ville, and in 1S52 a card in the Illinois Citizen of that place announced that "Abraham Lincoln, Springfield, and W. H. Lamon, Danville, Attorneys at Law, having formed a co-partnership, will prac tice in the Courts of the Eighth Judicial Circuit and the Superior Court, and all business intrusted to them will be at tended to with promptness and fidelity." When Mr. Lincoln was making his plans to leave Springfield for "Washington for his first inauguration his friends became greatly alarmed for his safety, discover ing, as they thought, that a widespread plot existed for the abduction or assassi nation of the president elect en route. Mr. Lamon was selected by Mr. Lincoln to be his bodyguard on the journey. 'When the memorable trip was made Mr. Lamon was more than six feet high, strong, stout and athletic. He was, says another intimate personal friend of Mr. Lincoln, "a Hercules In stature. He was skilled in all the ways of the manly art and, although prudent and cautious, was thoroughly courageous and bold." After Mr. Lincoln was Inaugurated one of his first ofllcial acts was to appoint Mr. ' Lamon marshal of the District of Columbia, As incumbent of that ofiBce Ccionei LamoaJEUS charrred anion z masy This Serial to start in the Corvallis about April 17th.

Target practice is obviously a subject upon which most nations are silent as to details, and there fore very little has been made pub lic concerning a most remarkable target practice held by order of the French government off Tou lon.

Mr. Lamon has left it on record that he discovered and foiled many such plots the details of which have never come to the light of public knowledge. It may be asked why so vigilant a body guard, aided by all the resources of the federal and district governments, could not prevent or foil the fatal pistol shot of Booth on the night of April 14, 1865. The answer may be found partly In Mr. Lincoln's own words "You may guard me at a single point, but I will neces sarily be exposed at others. The truth Is, If any man has made up hia mind that he will give his life for mine he can take mine" and partly in the fact that on April 11, 1S65, Mr. Lamon was sent by the president to attend a convention neia in Richmond for the purpose of devising means to get that state back into the Union. Before leaving for Richmond Marshal Lamon had a final interview with the president. "Make me one promise," said he to Mr. Lincoln. "What is that?" asked the latter. "Perhaps I can." VI want you to promise me not to go to the theater during my absence." After some further talk the president said, "I will do the best I can." and then, turning to John P. Usher, secretary of the interior, who was present at the interview, he said, in sub stance, "My friend is crazy on the sub ject of my assassination." When Secretary Seward regained con sciousness after the attack upon him, made at the same time that Mr. Lincoln was shot, almost his first words on learn ing that the president was dead were: "Where is Colonel Lamon? If he had been in the city this would not have hap nened." Many times afterward he re peated this remark, and his words were echoed by those who were nearest ana dearest to the martyred Lincoln. After Mr. Lincoln's death Colonel La mon lived in Washington for many years. Ie removed later to Martinsburg, W. Va. There, on May 8, 1893, he passed away. Gazette dollars, was thus deliberately made a target for another ship. The idea was to ascertain what would be the effect of impact of shots upon the turret of a modern battleship. The range was short in order to minimize the possibil ity of not hitting the turret, and the turret was covered with addi tional plating so that there was no risk of penetration.
