Chapter 10 THERE was despair at Vnlette, despair profound. A night bud come and gone, and now it was morning, and still she bad not been found. Leagues they bad traveled through wood and braUe, through road and forest path a father grlui eyed, grim Jawed; a priest with close set lips and anxious eyes; a bent, little old tuan who could do nothing but play the organ. And the bride groom to be be had bunted a little 1)0. Only the fragile old aunt and the bent old servant had remained where bad once been the splendor of Valette, the one too delicate, the other too slow to be of assistance. And now It was morning again. Lemaltre bad come from the woods Leuialtre, who played the organ in ' the cbapel. Aunt Marguerite saw him as he entered the gate. She was wait ing as be neared the bouse. He an , awered tbt look of eyes, shaking his bead. . She cried softly; , "My poor brother!" "Come, ma'tn'selle," said Louise;, "one must not give up hope that she has been safe all the time." "Safel" exclaimed Mile, de Valette. "Little Madeleine alone In the forest! And all 1 may do Is to pray that my brother has found her!" Louise shrugged her bent shoulders. "That cold blooded M. Raoul there be does not need any oue to pray for nlm! See blm! How calmly he sits on the porch yonder! He gave up the search pretty early, eb? Ah, that Is one sort of bridegroom! And 1 think if one sort of misfortune bus befallen blm be deserves It." "One sort of misfortune," repeated Mile, de Valette. "What do you mean by 'one sort of misfortune?' " "1 have my ideas," replied old Louise sagely. "Now it la more than twenty-four hours that Mile. Made leine has been lost. Hal If she bod wished to be found, sUe would have been. She went away without telling anybody. 1 have though to myself: 'Why dlii she do that? Was It be cause she did not like this marriage, perhaps!' You want the answer. 1 think yon can see it. Bitting on the porch yonder." ' "Silence." commanded Mile, de Va lette angrily, "You're a fooll" The old servant watched ber go. She did not see M. Raoul de Valette as he left bis chair upon the porch and came toward ber. He was be side her when, at length, she repeated to herself: . "Fooll" 1 ' lie said, smiling at ber shoulder: "1 trust you address yourself, good woman." She turned. , "It might be that I spoke to the blind. M. Raoul." ,"And who Is blind here?" She shrugged ber shoulders. "AH of you perhaps," she returned. "Because we have not found Mile. Madelelner "Perhaps because you search only In the woods for her." He asked slowly; "Where do you think wt should look for herr She answered deliberately: "Nowhere where you are, ITsteur Raoul." "Then." he said musingly, "you do not think that she la lost" "Oh. maybe," Professional Bit ectory of Wallowa County t THOS. M.

"You mean because she wishes to be lost?' "Who can tell?" "That is. she hides." "Who knows?" He said, with a half smile: "I find the idea singularly unflatter ing to myself." He turned to find himself face to face with Father O'Mara. tired of face, with broad shoulders bowed a little. "You bring good news. 1 trust, sir?" inquired Raoul. O'Mara shook bis bead. "None," be sild. and then: "M. de Valette Is coming back.' I persuaded him. If he does not rest Not a word, not a trace, of ber anywhere. At any other time we conld have bad all the neighborhood to help us. But the young men marched last night, and the rest won't assist not out of heart- lessness.

The long night bad told upon him sadly; yet eyes nnd Jaws were still set grimly. In them there was no weakening. He looked at tbem both at his cous in, at the priest. ' . "Mind this," he sald-"l. have not given tip." Raoul said slowly: "If I may suggest. Isn't there Just a possibility Could It be that you seek In the wroug direction?" "She was seen to enter the woods," returned De Valette. "But," persisted Raoul. "suppose she herself had not wished to be seen. It Is a tts! to my modesty, but 1 am willing to admit that Mile, de Valette may not, have been captivated by the alliance you proposed to her." "That is unthinkable, sir!" cried De Valette. "Her obedience la unques tioned." ' "Obedience!" repeated Raoul. "Yes, perhaps. But the circumstances are peculiar, even significant. I am pre sented to her as her betrothed. Then she vanished. Uer motive? I argue a previous fancy." "Bo more deflulte," commanded De Valette. , , "But what Is more natural," Insisted Raoul. with a llRht shrug of his shoul durs, "than that n young lady.

De Valette had come close to him and was looking at blm with his grim eyes. 1 "M. Raoul de Valette." he said, his voice low and tense, "you speak of a demoiselle De Valette. I could forget that you are my cousin. I cannot for get that you are a guest in my house.". He turned on bis heel and left him, and Father O'Mara followed. Raoul de Valette watched them go. He smiled a little, flickering from silk en bose with cambric handkerchief an lmaginery bit of dust. The sound of singing came to blm. It, was a voice that he knew. He listened to the words: "I'ete de milt est la tempe le plus. Pour lesclseaux amanti qui cherchant le repose. L coucou a vole le nld de I'orlor. Pauvre p'tlt marl! Pauvre i'orlotl" ' ; He repeated the words, translating: "In summer at' night the mating Is best. At twilight they're winging their way. home to rest. The cuckoo has stolen the oriole's nest. Poor little husband! Poor oriole I" And then she came following her song. She saw him; she stopped; the mocking smile was on ber lips. He said sternly: '.. k "I told you to go!" She returned with great pretense of sympathy of concern: "An, my Raoul! Could I leave you alone, unprotected, among these peo ple! They might fool you. They might marry you, after all, to that little one who yesterday was a child!" "What do you know of her?" be de manded swiftly. She laughed wildly. "M'sleur Raoul de Valette Is quite an old gentleman!" she cried. "Quite an old gentleman!" Her mirth rang loud. "If M. de Valette hears that you know anything of his daughter." he said through bis teeth, "he'll not stop at half measures to get It out of you." Again she laughed, -this time scorn fully. "Half measures!" she repeated. "They are not needed. 1 came to tell. Only I stop to observe that M.. Raoul Is not half so young and not nearly so pretty as" ' ' ' 1 , "As whom?" be demanded violently. She looked at him over one rounded shoulder tantullzingly. "As shall we say M'sleur Gilbert Steele?" "That found her asleep yesterday!" Yet again she laugh ed. "He has awak ened her!" She continued in , al tered tones swiftly. "S h e came looking for blm In the woods. She had forgotten you. He bad to go after the soldiers, and ! she went after him!" He atood for a 'moment In si lence.

A correspondent of the New York Fost says that the codllsh frequents "the tablelands of the sea." The cod fish no doubt does this to secure ns nearly as possible a dry. bracing at mosphere.' This pure nlr of the sub marine tablelands gives to the codllsh that breadth of chest and dopth of lungs thaj we have so often noticed.. The glnd. free smile of the codllsh is largely attributed to the exhilaration of this oceanic nttitoodloum. The cor respondent further says that the "cod fish subsists lurgely on the sea cherry." Those who have not bud the pleasure of seeing, the codllsh climb the cherry tree in search of food or clubbing tuo fruit from the heavily laden branches with chunks of coral have missed a very fine sight. The codfish when at home rambling through the submarine forests does not wear his vest unbut toned as he does wh tie Ion ting around the grocery stores of the United Spates. -Bill Nye. A High Priced Fricassee. Lord Alvaulcy. a noted' wit and high liver in England n hundred years or so ago. Insisted on having an apple tart on his dinner table every day throughout the year. ' On one occasion he paid a caterer $1,000 for u luncheon put up in a basket that sufficed a small boating party going up the Thames. Being one of a dozen men dining together at a London club where each was re quired to produce hla own dish. Alvan lcy's, as the most expensive, won him the ndvantage of being entertained free of cost. This benefit was gained at an expense of $3-10, that being the price of a simple fricassee composed entirely of the "nolx." or small pieces nt each side of the back, taken from thirteen kinds of birds, among them being 100 snipe. 40 woodcocks and 20 pheasants In all about 30O birds. Our Eccentrio Phrases. Why do we always talk of putliug on a coat and vest? Who puts on 'a coat before a vest ? We also say put ting on shoes and stockings. Who puts, on' shoes before the stockings? We also put up signs telling people to wipe their feet when we mean, their boots or shoes. And a father tells a boy he will warm bis jacket when be means to warm his pantaloons. We are a little eccentric In our phrases at times.. 1 An Odd Epitaph.

Rome three years before the Franco German war broke out Count Secken dorff accompanied King William I. on his visit to Napoleon III. and was present at the celebrated dejeuner giv en In the Pavilion de Diane at Fon tnlnebleau. KJng William, who was sitting next the empress, was asked by her to pass the snlt, and In comply ing with this request he threw a little salt over his shoulder. Upon the em press exclaiming, "Why do you do that?" the king explained that in his country it was tbe custom to do so when pnssing the salt to ward off bad luck and any chance of a quarrel. The empress In a prettily turned speech at once replied. "But surely there is na danger of anything Interfering with our friendship.'" In less than three years the Germans had crossed the Rhino.

A telegram has been received by Dr. Moore announcing the death of' Mrs. Andrew Taylor Still of Kirks- vllle, Mo.,- the wife of the illustri ous founder of the science of oste- opaithy. Mrs.-' Still wa about 77 years old, and held a unique posi tion in the osteopathic profession. It W realised . that her loyalty and faithfulness during, the , years of severe denial at the time of , the, "Old' Doctor'" (as he is lovingly called) : discovery . and development of osteopathy was one of the sus taining factors in giving the world thib great healing ' science. ' The early period of osteopathic develop- "; mfcht meant being scoffed at as well aa 'poverty, "of the direst kind, for people were slow to give Dr. Still any encouragement and ' through yera.and years of reverses he con tinued to study the body and build h'jj 'to-ir.dationi for a true system of Iiea'.inj- !,nd through It all M"rs. Still shtv.td loving loyalty and' lived her sweet life uncomplainingly. So Mrs. ' Still likewise was considered a great benefactor, and was finally blessed with the contentment which follows success after great trials; and lived to see the "Old Doctor" reap hie Just reward of one of the .world's . greatest benefactors, -while she en joyed the love and admiration' of the , osteopathic world. .
