That Tommy, the waiter boy, knew of her abiding-place, he was thoroughly con vinced; and that the boy was somehow in league with her, he strongly suspi cioned; but he had no time, now, to pros ecute his researches. The Morrison estate had been ad mitted to sale by a decree of the court, and, although the more valuable por tion, or that designed by nature for a town site, had been declared vacant good to look upon poor mortals like me serving for their country for so much through some technicality of the law in with the least degree of allowance. I per diem with perquisites. proving up its final title-deed, Hanson was his affianced bride for years. I The meeting of the first grand jury bad bargained away Madge's remaining thought, till I met George Hanson, that that ever held sage councils In the dis interest at a round figure a bargain I loved him. He was my patron, my trict gave Jason Andrews a favorable which was only a myth so long as he guardiau, and friend.

Then followed a long account of such Molalla matters as he knew would In terest the refugee. The letter was hope ful and earnest, and did Madge a world How Long to Sleep. Baraum as a Young Lover.

"That's because you're not a woman," said Sara. Madge blushed painfully. "What shall I say to Mr. Morrison ?" she asked, abruptly. "Say I would rather not see him." "But I implore you to Bee bim, madam." The sudden disappearance of Madge, Hanson, and Morrison had awakened no little commotion at Molalla Moor land. Jason Andrews, like all men and women of narrow minds, was an incor rigible gossip; and, whenever he was sober enough to go among the neigh bors, he kept curiosity on the qui vive by dark allusions to some probable crime, which allusions were reniem- "No, no, Tommy.

Tommy; too pure and desires to distinguish themselves irr he had often been before, without avail able funds to leave a country which was waxing decidedly warm for him, with Sara at his heels, and Morris Morrison, like an avenging Nemesis, hovering near. A final effort to secure an interview with the wronged mother of his child bad ended in complete failure, and Madge assisted him to pack his trunk and complete arrangements for his voy age with an alacrity that won for "Tommy" some hearty commendations. So at six o'clock he went aboard the out-bound steamer, carrying with him, way unworthy of him. But 1 was chaste, Tommy. If I could not be true to bim, I was true alas, too true to George Hanson." "But Hausou Isn't worthy of any woman's love." "I know it. Tommy; but I love him because I cannot help it. He's a crea ture of circumstances more to be pitied than blamed. Don't speak evil of him in my presence again." "Very well, ma'am; but let me go to Mr. Morrison, aud ask him to visit you here."

Failing in his search, for, really, the little apology fora room to which she had been assigned because of the overcrowd ed condition of the hotel, was not desig nated upon the books in terms intelligi ble to any but designing men, the gen tleman was compelled to bide his time till Madge should be at liberty, which was not till a late hour. "I'll go tirst, aud break the news gently, and see if she'll be willing to meet you," said Madge. "You can wait in the ladies' parlor till I speak to her." "Who's there?" cried Sara, in a trem ulous voice, for she had been in mortal dread of offensive visits ever since her interview with George. "It's I, Tommy." "Oh! come." "Would you like to meet a friend, ma'am ?" "Alas ! I have no friend !" "Don't be too sure of that. There's a opportunity to lay before that august ami honorable body the information that led to finding a true bill against Morris Morrison for the murder of George Hanson. It was well known that the two men were enemies; and, though the precise nature of Andrews' testimony before the star-chamber-guardian of so-called American liberties was only guessed at by the general public, the fact was soon apparent that testimony had been given of sufficient circumstantial directness to seem to warraut the search for and ar rest of the missing man. All unconscious of Ills Impending doom, Mr. Morrison, the next morning after his last talk with Madge, visited an exchange office, where the official letter from his California business proved satisfactory as collateral for any reasonable amount. A check for a thousand dollars was soon in his possession, to say nothing of sundry bank notes of lesser value, when his eyes were attracted by the sudden' gleam of a valuable diamond ring in a little show-case, where a number of other choice jewels were on exhibition.
