She had only addressed me once 'during lie conversation. It was curious to see kow there was no reentment In Mr manner towards my father, wha had sys fceraatleallr robbed her. whilst he treat me with profound wrath and bitter ness. The report of my father's Illness had spread before I reached home, and suf ficiently accounted for our visit to Jer sey, and the temporary postponement of rny last trip to England before our mar riage. My mother, Johanna and 1 kept our own counsel, and answered the many Questions asked us as vaguely as the Delphic oracle. I wrote to Tardif, telling him I was some for an indefinite period to London and that it any difficulty ' or danger threatened Olivia. I begged of him to communicate with my mother, who had promised me to befriend her as far as It lay in her power. My poor mother thought of her without bitterness, though la deep regret. To Olivia herself I wrote a line or two, finding myself too weak to resist the temptation. I said: "My Dear Olivia I told you I was about to be married to my cousin Julia Dobree: that engagement Is at an end, I am obliged to leave Guernsey, and seek my fortune elsewhere. It will be a long time before I can see you again. If I ever have that great happiness. Whenever you feci the want of a true and tender friend, my mother is prepared to love you as if you were her own daughter. Think at me also as your friend. "MAltTIN DOBREE." I Cn.VPTEIt XII. T left Guernsey the day before my Cather and Julia returned from Jersey. My Immediate future was not as black as It might have been. I was going di rect to the bouso of my friend Jack Se nior, who had been my chum at college lie, like myself, bad been hitherto a ort of partner to his father, the well- known physician, Dr. Senior, of Brook street. They lived together in a highly respectable but gloomy residence, kept bachelor fashion, for they had no worn an-kind at all belonging to them. The father and son lived a good deal apart, though they were deeply attached to one another. Jack had his own apartments, and his own guests, In the spacious Louse, and Dr. Senior had his. The first night, as Jack and I sat up together in the long summer twilight, I told him everything as one tells a friend a hundred things one cannot pat into words to any person who dwells under the same roof, and Is witness of every circumstance of one's career. As I was talking to him, every emotion and perception of my brain, which had been In a wild state of confusion and con flict, appeared to fail into Its proper rank. I was no longer doubtful as to whether I had been the fool my father , called me. My love for Olivia acquired force and decision. My judgment that it would have been a folly and a crlmo to marry Julia became confirmed. "Old fellow," said Jack, when 1 had finished, "you are In no end of a mess." ""Well, I am," I admitted; "but what am I to do?" "First of all, how much money have your he asked. ""J'd rather not say," I answered. "Come, old friend," he said, in his siost persuasive tones, "have you fifty .pounds in hand? ' "No." I replied. -That's bad!" he said: "but it might n -worse. I've lots of tin, and we al ways went shares." "I must look out for something to do to-morrow," I remarked. "An, yes!' bo answered dryly, "you raalght go as assistant to a parish doctor, or get a berth on board an emigrant hip. .There are lots of chances for a young fellow. I tell you what," he said, "I've a good mind to marry Julia myself, I've always liked her, and we want a woman In the house. That would put things stralghter, woman t it? "She would never consent to leave Guernsey," I answered, laughing. "That was one reason why she was so glad to marry me." "Well, then," he said, "would you imlnd me having Olivia?" "Don't jest about such a thing," I ro plled; "it is too serious a question with me." "You are really In love!" he answered. "I will not Jest at It. But I om ready -to do anything to help you, old boy." So it proved, for be and Dr. Senior did their best during the next few weeks to .find a suitable opening for me, I made their house my home, and was treated as xi most welcome guest In it. Still the time was irksome. They were busy -whilst I was unoccupied. My mother's letters did not tend to roljo my spirits. The tone of them was uniformly sad. She told me the flood of sympathy for Julia had risen very high Indeed; from which I concluded that the .public Indignation against myself must have risen to the same tide mark, Julia bad resumed her old occupations, but her spirit was quite broken. Johanna Carey bad offered to go abroad with her, but she had declined. A friend of Julia's, said my mother In another letter, had come to stay with her, and endeavor to rouse her. It was evident she did not like this Kate Dal .trey, herself, for the dislike crept out unawares through all the gentleness of Ihcr phrases. "She says she Is tho samo .-age as Julia," sho wrote, "but she Is -probably some years older; for as she does not belong to Guernsey we have no opportunity of knowing." I laughed wien I read that. "Your father admires ber very much," sho added. There was not a word about Olivia. Sark Itself was never mentioned, ond It anight have Bunk Into the Ben. My eye ron over every letter first with tho hopo of catching that name, but I could not find It This persistent silence on my mother's part was very trying, I had been away from Guernsey two months, and Jack was making arrange ments for a long absence from London tarn soon as the season was over, leaving me in chaw, when I received the fol lowing letter from Johanna Oaray: "Dear Martin Your father and Julia have been here this afternoon, and have coafldml to me a very sml and very pain ful secret, which they ask ine to break gently to you. You mutt come home again for a wawn. Even Julia wishes it, though she cannot stay In the same house with you, aud will go to her own with her friend Kate Daltroy. Your father cried like a child. He takes It more to heart than I should have expect ed. Yet there is no immediate danger; she may live for some months yet. My poor Martin, you will have a mother only a few months longer. Thrco weeks ago she and I wcut to Sark, at her own ur gent wish, to see your Olivia. I did not then know why. She had a great longing to sec the unfortunate girl who had been the cause of so much sorrow to us all, but especially to her. for she has pined sorely after you. We did not find her in Tanlif's house, but Suzanne directed ns to the little graveyard half a mllo away. Wo followed her there, and rec ognized her, of course, at the first glance. She Is a charming creature, that I allow, though I wish none of us had ever seen her. Your mother told her who she was, and tho sweetest Hush and smile came across her face! They sat down side by side on one of the graves, and I strolled away, so I do not know what they said to one another. Olivia walked down with us to the Havre Gosselin, and your mother held her In her arms and kissed her tenderly. Even I could not help kiss ing her. "Now I understand why your mother longed to see Olivia. She knew then she has known for months that her days are numbered. When she was la London last November she saw the moit skillful physicians, ami they all agreed that her disease was Incurable and fatal. Why did she conceal It from you 7 Ah, Mar tin, you must know a woman's heart, a mother's heart, before you can compre hend that. Your father knew, but no one else. "Do not come before you have answer ed this letter, that we may prepare her for your return. Write by the next boat. "Do you wish to consult my partner or me? asked tho kecuest looking man. "1 am Mr. Scott." "Hither will do," 1 nnswered. "My business will be soon dispatched. Howe mouths ago you Inserted nu advertise ment In the Times." "To what purport?" Inquired Mr. Sfott. "You offered fifty poutuls reward," I replied, "for Information concerning n young lady," A gleam of Intelligence and gratifica tion tllckered upon both their fares, but quickly faded awny Into a sulwr and blank gravity. Mr. Scott waited for mo to speak again, and bowed silently, ns if to iutimate ha was all attention. "I came," I added, "to ask you for the name and address of that young lady's friends, as I should prefer communicat ing directly with them, with n view to co operation in the dlwovery of her hiding place. I need scarcely say I have no wish to receive any reward. I entirely walvo any claim to that, It you will oblige me by putting me Into connection with the family." "Have you no Information you can im part to us?" asked Mr. Scott. "None," I answered decisively. "It H some months since I saw the advertise ment, and it must be nine months sluco you put It into the Times. I believe It is nine months sluco the young lady was missing." "About that time." he said. "Her friends must have suffered great anxiety," I remarked. "Very great Indeed," he admitted. "If I could render them any service It would be a great pleasure to me," I continued; "cannot you tell me where to" find them?" "Wo nre authorized to receive any In formation," he replied. "You must al low me to ask It you know anything about the young lady In question " "My object is to combine with her friends In seeking her,-" I said evasively. "I really cannot give you any Informa tion; but It you will put mo Into commu nication with them. I may bo useful to them." "Well," he said, with nn air of candor, "of course the young lady's friends ar , anxious to keep In the background. It is uot a pleasant circumstance to occur in a family. Of course, If you could give us an ydefinite Information it would be quite anotner tiling. I tie young lady a family is highly connected. Have you seen any one answering to tho de.ierip tion?" "It Is a very common one," I answered, "I have seen scores of young ladles who might answer to it. I am surprised that In London you could not trace her. Did you apply to tho police?"

The pigeon ranch here pictured Is at Los Angeles, and Is the only one of Its' kind In the world. It covers an atva of eight acres, and In the gigantic lofts a.-o over 15,000 of those birds. The cost of feeding them amounts to a llttlo ovjr ?5 per meal. The ranch was started three years ago with '.',000 birds. Nearly 'J.10 dozen squabi aro dlspos vl of per month, except in tho fall, which N the moulting season. At that time of t io year It Is poslblu to secure only one fourth of the ttiuul number.

When the ranch Is well stocked, as It Is when there ore l.'.OOO birds Hying about, the extensive family eats nno waron load of screenings, two sacks of wheat and about hvehu gallons of bollwl meal dally. In addition to this, they aro given three barrels of stale bread, soaked In water, during the week. The farm It a picturesque sight, especially nt feeding time, when the birds swarm the place, picking their way daintily over tho ground a mass of whlto and gray tin illness. A remarkable fact In connection with this place Is that the pigeons never leave the ranch, and It is seldom that ouo over guts beyond the largo wire fonco that surrounds the yard.

Your faithful, loving cousin, "JOHANNA CAItEY." I read this letter twice, with a singing In my ears and a whirling of my brain, before I tould realize the meaning. Then I refused to believe it.

She ought to have told me first. Who could have attended her so skillfully and devotedly as her only son 7 My mother had consulted Dr. Senior himself when she bad been In London. He did not positively cut off all hopo from me, though I knew well he was giving me encouragement In spite of his own carefully formed opinion. Ho as serted emphatically that It was possible to alleviate her sufferings and prolong her life, especially If her mind was kept at rest. There was not n question as to the necessity for my immediate return to her. But there was still a day for mo to tarry in London. "Martin," said Jack, "why have you never followed up the clue about your Ullvla tho advertisement, you know? Shall we go to those folks In Gray's Inn lload this afternoon; It had been in my mind all along to do so, but the listless procrastination of Idleness bad caused me to put it off from time to time. Besides, whilst I was ab sent from the Channel Islands my curl oslty appeared to sleep. It was enough to picture Olivia In her lowly home in Sark, Now that I was returning to Guernsey, and the opportunity was about to slip by, I felt more anxious to seize It, I would learn all I could about Olivia's family and friends, without betraying any part of her secret. Of course there was not the smallest difficulty In finding the office of Messrs. Scott and Brown. There did not seem much business going on, and our appear ance wag hailed with undisguised satis faction, The solicitors wero two Infe rior, common-looking men, but sharp enough to bo a match for cither of us. We both felt It, as If wo had detected a snake In the grass by Its rattle. I grew wary by instinct, though I had not como with any intention to tell them what I knew of Olivia. My sole Idea had been to learn something myself, not to impart any information. But when I was face to face with these men my business, and the management of It, did not seem quite so simple as It had done until then. Mr. Brown, or on the stairs? I believe 1 heard a noise outside." Mr. Brown disappeared for a few min utes; but his absence did not Interrupt the conversation. There was not much to be made out of It on either side, for we were only fencing with one another. I, learned nothing about Olivia's friends, and I was satisfied he had learned noth ing about her. At last we parted with mutual dissat isfaction; and I went moodily downtsalrs, followed by Jack. We drove back to Brook .street, to spend the few hours that remained before the train started for Southampton.

' Tho public apparently has no more feeling for tho family than for the murderer. Tho landlord of the house In which they lived ordered them to move. Their neighbors also have turned from them. Paul Czolgosz, father of the anarch ist assassin, has lived with his family nt 300 Fleet street, Cloveland, and dur ing his residence there has always had the respect of his neighbors. Mrs. Czolgosz, the assassin's stepmother, Is a quiet woman, neat and cleanly In ap pearance, but uot possessed of much education. The entire family, It would seem, with the exception of the anarch 1st, has had little use for books of any- kind. The anarchist's father does not believo that his sou Is crazy, althougl ho has no hesitation In saying that he Is weak-minded, Leon, ho says, was a boy who was always easily led, and who, unaided, would never have con celved the plan of killing the President, It is absurd, ho says, to bellovo that the young man was not led on by abler, older and wiser heads than his own. Mr. Czolgosz says there Is no doubt that his son was sent by others to Buf falo primed and persuaded to make tho Prlnco Peter Kropotkln, whoso name Is mentioned In connection with the agitation of anarchy In tho United States, Is called a "philosophical anar chist."
