There, with tha aea, which had carried her away from ma, playing buoyantly amongat the roeke, I read her farewell letter. It ran thua: "My Dear Friend I am glad I can call you my friend, though nothing can arer come of our friendahip nothing, for wa may not aea one another aa other frlenda do. I am compelled to floe away again from thia quiet, peaceful home, where you and Tardlf have been ao good to me. I began to feel perfectly aafa here, and all at onca the refuge fails me.

Irregular hand, and her name waa half blotted out, aa if a tear had fallen upon It. I remained there alone on the wild and aolltary cltffa until It waa time to return to the ateamer. Tardlf waa waiting for me at the en trance of tha little tunnel through which tha road paaaea down to tha harbor. He did not apeak at flrat, but ha drew out of hla pocket an old leather pouch filled with yellow papera. Amongat them lay a long curling treaa of ahining hair. He touched It gently aa If it had feeling and conaclouaneaa. "You would lika to have It, doctor?" he Bald. "Ay," I anawered, and that only. 1 could not Tentura upon another word. CHAPTER XVII. Three month pawed alowly away at ter my mother's death. Dr. Dobree, who waa utterly inconsolable the first few weeka, fell Into all hla old maundering, philandering waye again, apending hour uuon hla toilet, and paying devoted at teittlona to every pasaable woman who came serosa his path. My temper grew like touchwood; the least apark would aet it a blase. I could not take auch things In good part We had been at daggers drawn for a day or. two, ha and I, when one morning 1 was astonished by the appearance of Julia In our consulting room, soon after my father, having drewed himself elabo rately, had quitted the house, JulU'i face was ominous, the upper lip very straight, and a frown upon her brow. "Martin," she began in a low key, "I am come to tell you something that fills me with shame and anger. I do not know how to contain myself. I could never have believed that I could have been ao blind and foolish. But it leems aa if I were doomed to be deceived and disap pointed on every hand I who would not deceive or disappoint anybody In thed worl. I declare It make me quite 111 to think of it. Just look at my hand how they tremble." "Your nervous system Is out of order," I remarked. "It Is tha world that is out of order," she said petulantly; "I am well enough, Oh, I do not know however I am to tell you. There are aonio things It is a shama to apeak of." ... . "Muat you apeak of them?" I asked. "Yea; you muat know, you will have to know all sooner or Inter. IX my poor, fjiletntna Stretton dear aunt knew of it she could not rest In bar grave. Martin, cannot you guess? Are men bora so dull that they cannot see what la going on under their own eyea?" I have not the least tda of what ftm are driving at," I answered. "Kit down and calm yourself," "How long Is it since my poor, dear aunt diedr "You know aa well as I do," I replied. wondering that she should touch the. wound so roughly. "Tbr months nest Sunday." . "And Dr. Dobree," she said In a bitter accent then atopped, looking ma full in the race. I bad never beard her call my fathr Dr. Dobree In my life. "What now?" I asked. "What baa my unlucky father been doing now?" "Why," she tt.Uluied, stamping hr foot, while the blood mantled to her fore head, "Dr. Dobn I In haste to take second wife! He la Indeed, my poor Mar tin. He wishes to be married immedi ately to that viper. Kate Daltrey." "Impossible!" I cried, stung to the quick by these words. I remembered my mother's mild. Instinctive dislike to Kate Daltrey, and ber barmlesa hope that I would not go over to ber aide. Uo over to her aide! No. If she set her foot into this house as my mother's successor, I would never dwell under the same roof. As soon as my father made her his wife I would cut myself adrift from tbem botn. But he knew that; he would never ven- ture to outrage my mother's memory or my feelings In such a flagrant manner. "It Is posalide, for It is true," said Ju Ua. "The have understood each other for those four weeks. You msy call It an engsgemcut, for It la one; and I never auspected them, not for a moment! Couldn't you take out a commission of lunacy against him? He must be mad to think of such a thing." "How did you find It out?" X Inquired "Oh, I was so aahamed!" aba said "You see I hsd not the faintest ahadow of auaplclon. I hsd left them in the drawing room to go upstairs, and thought of something I wanted, and weat back auddenly, and there they were his arm around her waist, and ber bead on his shoulder ha with his grsy hairs, too! She ssys she Is the same age aa me, but aha la forty if aha la a day. Tha simple ton! I did not know what to say, or how to look. I could not get out of the room again as If I had not seen, for I cried, 'Oh!' at the first eight of them, Then 1 stood ataring at them; but I think they felt as uncomfortable as I did." "Julia," I Bald, "I shall leave Uuera- scy before this marriage can coma off. 1 would rather break atones on the high' way than atay to aee that woman In my mother's place. My mother dialiked ber from the first." "I know it," she replied, with tears In her eyes, "and I thought It waa nothing but prejudice. It waa my fault, bringing her to Uuerusey. But I could not bear the idoa of her coming as mistress here. I said ao distinctly. 'Dr. Dobree,' I said, 'you must let me remind you that tha house Is mine, though you have paid me no rent for yeara. If you ever take Kate Daltrey Into it, I will put my affaire into a notary a hands. I will, upon my word, and Julia Dobree never broke her word yet.' That brought him to his senses better than anything. He turned very pale, and eat down beside Kate, hardly knowing what to say. Tnen she began She aald if I waa cruel, ahe would be cruel, too. Whatever grieved you, Mar tin, would grieve me, and ahe would let her brother, Richard Foater, know where Olivia waa." Doea aba know where ahe is?" I aaked eagerly, in a tumult of surprise and hope. Why, in Sark, of courae," ahe replied, What! Did you never know that Olivia left 'Bark before my mother'i death?" I aald. with a chill of disap pointment, "Did I never tell you aha waa gone, nobody knows where r "You have never apoken of her In my hearing, except once you recollect when, Martin? We have supposed she wsa still living In Tardif'a house. Then there nothing to prevent me from carrying out my threat. Kate " Daltrey shall never enter thla house aa mistress." "Would you have given It np for Olivia's sake?" I asked, marveling at her generosity. "I should have done it for your, sake,' she answered frankly. "But," I aald, reverting to our original topic, "If my father baa aet hla mind unon marrying Kate Daltrey, he wilt brave anything." ' "He la a dotard," replied Julia. "He positively makes me dread growing old, Who knows wnat routes one may tie gun tr of In old age! I never felt afraid of . a a it before, tvate aaya sne nas two nun- dred a year of her own, and they will go and live on that In Jersey, If Uuernsey becomes unpleasant to them. Martin, she Is a viper ahe Is Indeed. And I have made auch a friend of her! Now I ahall have no one but you and the Careys, Why wasn't I satisfied with Johanna aa my friend? She atayed an hour longer, turning over thla unwelcome aubject till we had thor oughly discussed every point of it. In the evening, after dinner, I apoke to my father briefly but decisively upon the same topic. After a very short and very sharp conversation, there remained &' alternative for mo but to make up my mind to try my fortune once more out of Guernsey. I wrote by the next mall to Jack Senior: telling htm my purpose. I did not wait for my father to commit the irreparable folly of hla second mar rlale".'' Guernsey had become hateful to fnn-In aplte of my exceeding love for my native Island, more beautiful In the eyes of Its people than any other spot on earth, I could no longer be happy or at neace there. Julia could not conceal her regret, but I left her In the charge of Captain Carey and Johanna. She prom laed to be my faithful correspondent, and I engaged to write to her regularly. There existed between us the half-betrothal to which wa had pledgod ourselves at my dying mother's urgent request She would wait for the time when Olivia waa no longer tha first in my heart; then she would be willing to become my wilt. But If ever that day came ahe would require mo to give up my position In England, and settle down for life In Guernsey.

Early in the epring I received a letter from Julia, desiring me to look out for apartments, somewhere In my neighbor hood, for herself and Johanna and Cap tain Carey. They were coming to Lon don to apend two or three mouths or tbe aeason. I bad not had any task so agree able since I left Uuerusey. Jsck was hospitably anxious for them -to come to our own house, but I kuew they woiim not listen to such a proposal I found some suitable rooms for them, however, where I could be with them at any time in fir minutes. On the appointed day I met them at Waterloo atation, and in atalled them In their new apartment. It struck me thst Julia waa looking better and happier than I bad seen her look for long time. Her black dress suited her, and gave her a atyle which aha never had in colore. Her complex ion looked dark, but not sallow; and ber brown bair waa certainly more uecoiu Ingly arranged. Her appearance was thst of a well-bred, cultivated, almost elegsnt woman, of whom no man need be ashamed. Johanna waa aimply her self, without the least perceptible change, But Captain Carey again looked ten yeara younger, and waa evidently taking palna with bis appearance. 1 waa more than satisfied, 1 wss proud or au my friends. "Wa want yon to come and have a long talk with ua to-morrow," aaid Jo hanna: "it is too late to-night. We shall be busy shopping in tbe morning, but csn you come In tbe evening? "Oh. yes." I answered; 1 m at leis ure most evenings, and 1 count upon apending them with you. I can escort you to aa many places of amusement aa you wish to visit" "To-morrow, tnen," she said, "we ahall Uke tea at eight o clock. I bade them good night with a lighter heart than I had felt for a long while. I held Julla'a hand the longest looking Into ber face earnestly, till it flushed and glowed a little under my scrutiny. "True heart!" I aald to myself, "true and conatant! and I have nothing, and ahall have nothing, to offer ll but the aabes of a dead love. Would t heaven, I thought aa I paced along Brook street "I had never been fated to see Ulivlar I wss punctual to my time the next day. I aat among them quiet and si lent but revelling In this partial return of olden times. When Julia poured out my tea, and paased it to me with her white hand, l teit inclined to kiss ner Jeweled fingers. If Captain Carey had not been present I think I should have done ao. We lingered over the pleasant meal. At the close Captain Carey announced that he waa about to leave ua alone to gether for an hour or two. I went down to the door with him, for he had made me a mysterious signal to follow him. In the ball he whispered a few taeomprehen- alble sentences into my ear. "Don't think anything of me, my boy Don't sacrifice yourself for me. I'm an old fellow compared to you, though I'm not fifty yet; everybody In Guernsey knowa that So put me out of the ques tion, Martin. 'There's many a allp 'twlxt the cup and the lip.' That I know quite well, my dear fellow. He waa gone before I could ask for an explanation. I returned to the drawing room, pondering over his words. Johan na and Julia were sitting aide by sMe on the sofa, In the darkest corner of the room. "Come here. Martin," said Johanna "we wish to consult you on a subject of great importance to us all. I drew up a chair opposite to them and sat down, much as if it was about to be a medical consultation. "It Is nearly eight months since your poor dear mother died," remarked Jo hanna. Eight months! Yes; and no one knew what those eight months had been to me how desolate! how empty! "You recollect" coutinued" Johanna "how her heart was set on your marriage with Julia, and the promise you both made to her on her deathbed?" "Yes," I answered, bending forward and pressing Julia's hand, "I remember every word." There waa a minute's silence after this and I waited in some wonder aa to what this prelude was leading to. "Martin," asked Johanua, in a solemn tone, "are you forgetting Olivia?" "No," I said, dropping Julia's hand aa the image of Olivia flashed across me reproachfully, not at all. What would you have me say? She Is as dear to me at this moment as she ever was." "I thought you would say so," she re plied; "I did not think yours was a love that would quickly pass away, it it ever doea. There are men who can love with the constancy of a woman. Do you know anything of her?" . : "Nothing," I said despondently; have no clue as to where she may be now." . "Nor has Tardlf,' ahe continued; "niy -brother and I went across to Sark laat week to ask him." "That waa very good of you," I inter rupted. "It was partly for our own sakes,1 she ssld, blushing faintly. "Martin, Tar-. dlf says that if you have once loved Olivia. It la once for all. You would never conquer It lo you turns- inai this is true? Be csndld with us." Yes." I snswered. "it l true. I could never love sgsin as I love Olivia." "Then, my dear Martin," said Jo&an- na, vary softly, "do you wisa to Beep Julia to her promise" I started violently. Y batl did Julia wish to be released tnta that seml-en-gsgement and be free? Was It possible that any ouo else eovetea my puce in her affections, and In tha new bouse which we had fitted up for ourselves? I felt like the dog in tbe nanger. It seem ed an unheard-of encroAcument for any person to come between my cousin Julia nd me. "Do you ask me to t yon free from your promise, Julia?" I aaked, somewhat sternly. , (To be contloufd.l CAT NOW IN FAVOR. . Crippled, bat Bbe Helped to Mod Fvrtnae. "I recently filed ft claim for the widow of ft Mexican war veteran." said H. O. McCorinie, of Cincinnati, "that ban a rather funny story attached to It that I think will bear repeating, aa It wm brought about by a one-eyed, bobtalled cat of no pedigree and of absolutely no worth, that is now petted as a price less treasure by Mrs. Maggie Tuttle, an aged widow, residing at Harrison, about ten miles from Cincinnati. A small boy with a sling destroyed one of the cat's eyes, and a few duys after ward, in an attempt to knock a train from tbe track, the cast lost half Its tail; but tbe cat came back, and there by bangs the tale, Dot tbe calt's tall, by the way.. "When I filed tbe papers for the pen sion of Mra. Tuttle, wbotw husband was a sergeant In tbe Twelfth United State Infantry, it was found that all was In good shape, except bis discharge papers, and I at once requested that a search be made for these documents. Sbe was certain that ber husband had left them somewhere in tbe old home stead, and a diligent search was at once Instituted. The old house was ransack ed from cellar to garret with no re sult and when the effort was about to be given up in despair It was noticed that the old cat took a great deal of Interest In the old garret It went to a box In one corner of tbe room and Jumped Into It Upon looking into the box it was found that four kittens were nestled In some old paper. When an effort was made to look Into the box the old cat grew ferocious and attacked the searchers. One of the party, who did not like the cat anyway, picked up a book and threw It at It This book missed the cat but struck an old paste board box on a shelf snd knocked tt to the floor, where It burst open and the contents rolled out on the floor. Upon picking them up the discharge papers and $3,000 in government bonds were found. The old cat now wears a blue ribbon and has the run of the house- In fact nothing la too good for It" Washington Star. ; ' ' How to Become Wealthy. In a New Hampshire city there dwells an octogenarian physician who, In addi tion to his wide medical skill, Is known far and wide as a dispenser of blunt philosophy. The other day a young man of his acquaintance called at bis office. "I have not come for pills this time. doctor," Bald the visitor, "but for ad vice. You have lived many years in this world of toll and trouble and have had much experience. I am young and I want you to tell me how to get rich." The aged practitioner gazed through his glasses at the young man and in a deliberate tone, said; "Yes, I can tell you. You are young and can accomplish your object If you will. Your plan is this: Fiist be indus trious and economical. Save as much as possible and spend as little.

Literary Landmarks Doomed. The doom of another batch of liter ary landmarks has lately been sealed. First the old Black Bull Tavern In Hot born, where Mrs. Gamp nursed Mr. Lewsome In partnership with Betsy Prig "Nussed together, turn and turn about one oft, one on." Then the Red Lion, at Henley-on-Thames, in which Sheustone was said to have written fa miliar lines which Dr. Johnson quoted to maintain his thesis that "there Is nothing which has yet been contrived by man by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern or Inn." Lately, too, Burford-brldge Hotel, near Box-hill, where Keats finished "Endy mlon" toward the end of 1817, has been In the market whether for demolition or not, we cannot say. Literature. Sailor Poets Wanted. An English literary writer says that "the time Is fully ripe for the advent of a sailor poet and the marine engineer poet "Whether they write In terms of rhyme or no I care not A virgin field awaits them, a noble Inheritance, ma turing for ages. They can, if they come, utterly refute the false and foolish prattle of the armchair philosophers and prove triumphantly that so far from the romance and poetry of the sea being dead it has hardly yet been given any adequate expression what ever." - .

"Submarine mines will I placed and troops mo bilized at points where disembarka tions arejlikely. A violent anti French feeling exists, and fears are felt for the safety of French residents in Turkish cities, Constantinople excepted." The officials of the foreign othce today informed the Associated Press that the information set forth in the dispatches yesterday was correct. The incorrect announcement from Toulon of the return of Admiral Gail lard's division, which created a great sensation, emanated from the corre spondent of a well known news agen cy. The announcement was that Ad miral Maigret, commandant of the Mediterranean fleet, returned to Tou lon at 10 o'clock with all his vessels, including those belonging to Admiral Gaillard's diivsion. The correspond ent of the news agency -referred to confused the fleets, owing to the dark ness. Admiral Gaillard has three cruisers and two torpedo boat de Btroyers in his squadron.

Miss Stone's Abductor's Arc Holding Out for Full Sum. Constantinople, Nov. L Late to day the case of Miss Stone again be came serious. The brigands are still holding 'out for the 25,000 ransom, and it is feared that should they per sist in their demand Miss Stone will have to be sacrificed. Nevertheless, the negotiations are still proceeding. Anxiety prevails this evening at the United States legation whence there has been an active exchange of tele grams between Secietary Eddy and various points. Mr. Eddy had a long conference with Sir Nicholas R. O'Conner, the British ambassador here, who is actively assisting in the efforts to bring about Miss Stone's release. So far from there being any con firmation of the rumors of her death circulating in the Bulgarian border districts, it is said here that another letter, written two days ago, has been received from her.

Constantinople, .Nov. 1. 1 he ne gotiations for the ransom of Miss Stone, the abducted American mis sionary, are pi ogressing satisfactorily, it is understood, but beyond this those having the matter in hand maintain absolute secrecy, as they are con vinced that publicity would be detri mental to Miss Stone's interests and safety.
