Yet when I found myaelf In the atreet

Olivia were gone, and here waa Ju la

that I had loat a great deal alnce I en

I did not go atraigh home to our dull,

waa not In the mood for an hour'a solilo

Ing the bitter cud of my reductions, and
turned In to aee if any measngea were

person had been with an urgent request
that a doctor would go aa aoon aa pos

not know the atreet, or what aort of a
locality it waa in.
"What kind of a person called!" I aak
ed. "A woman, alrj not a lady. On foot
poorly dressed. She's been here before,
and Dr. Lowry bis visited the case
twice."
" "Very good." I said. ,
' Upon inquiry I found that the place
was two uillce away; and as our old
friend Simmons Was atill on the cab
stand, I Jumped into hla cab, and bade
him drive me aa fast aa he could. I
wanted a aenao of motion, and a change
of scene. If I had been In Guernsey I
should hove mounted Madam, and had
another midnight ride round the island.

the visit would aerve to turn my

front waa In darkness . I paid Simmons
and dismissed him, saying I would walk
home. By the time I turned to knock
at the door, It waa opened quietly from
within. A woman stood in the door
way; I could not see her face, for the
candle the had brought with her was
on the table behind her; neither waa
there light enough for her to distinguish
mine.
"Are you come from Dr. Lowry'a?"
she asked.

I could not for the life of me recall
whose it was. , -
"Yes," I answered, "but I do not know
the name of my patient here."
"Dr. Martin Dobreel" she exclaimed.
I recollected her then aa the peraon
who had been In search of Olivia. She
had falleu back a few paces, and I could
now see her face. It was doubtful, aa
If she hesitated to admit me. Waa It
possible I had come to attend Olivia's
husband?. ,
"I don't know whatever to do!" she
ejaculated; "he is very 111 to-night, but I
don't think he ought to aee you I don't
think he would."
"I am not anxious to attend him. , I
came here simply because. my friend' Is
out of town. If he wishes to see me I
will see him, .and do my best. It rests
entirely with himself."
"Will you " wait here a few minutes,"
she asked, "while I see what he will
do?"
She left me in the dimly lighted hall.
The place was altogether sordid, and
dingy, and miserable. At last I heard

they could hardly expect to impose upon
me.
VAh! I see you do not," said Mr. Fo
0?r, with a visible sneer. "Olivia is
dead."
"Olivia dead!" I exclaimed.
"You were not aware of it?" he said.
I am afraid I hare been too sudden
Kate' tells ns you were In love with my
first wife, and sacrificed a most eligible
match for hor. Would it be too late to

"When did Olivia die?" I Inquired,
though my tongue felt dry and parched,
and the room, with his fiendish face, was
swimming giddily before my eyes.
."When was It, Carry?" he asked, turn
ing to his wife.
"We heard she was dead on the first
of October," she answered. "You mar
ried me the next day."
"Ah, yes!" he said; "Olivia had been
doad to me for more than twelve months,
and the moment I was free I married
her, Dr. Martin. It was quite legal."
"But what proof have you?" I asked
still incredulous, yet with a heart so
heavy that it could hardly rouse itself
to hope.
"Curry, you have those letters,'; said
IUchard Foster.
"Here are the proofs," said Mrs. Fos
ter. ;
She put into my hand an ordinary cer
tificate , of death, signed by J. Jones,
M. D. It stated that tho deceased,
Olivfh Foster, had died on September
the 27th, of acute iallanimatlon of the
lungs. Accompanying this was a letter
written In a good handwriting, purport
ing to be from a clergyman or minister.
who had attended Olivia In her fatal ill
ness. He said that she had desired him
to keep the place of her death and burial
a secret, and to forward no more than
the official certificate of the former
event. This letter was signed E. Jones.
No clue was given by either document as
to the place where they were written.
"Are you not satisfied," asUed Foster.
"No," I replied; "how- is It, if Olivia
ill Hi;fk
la dead, that you bve not taken possea-
slon of her property f
"A shrewd question," he said Ji-erlug

"Ho sure," be replied calmly, "that we

Mrs. I outer gave me a allp of paper,

CHAPTER XX.
I reached homo just as Jack was com
ing In from his evening amusement. He
let me in with his latch-key, giving me
a cheery greetiug; but as soon as we had
entered the dining-room, and he saw my
face, he exclaimed, "Good heavens! Mar
tin, what has happened to you?"
"Olivia is dead!" I answered.
His arm was about my neck in a mo
ment, for we were like boys togetner
still, when we were alone. He knew all
about Olivia, and he waited patiently till
1 could put my tidings into words.
"It must be true," he said, thoiurh in a
doubtful tone; "the scoundrel would not
have married again if he had not suffi
cient proof."
"She must have died very soon after
my mother," I answered, "and I never
know it!"
"It's strange!" he said. "I wonder she
never got anybody to write to you or
jnrttir.
There was no way of accounting for
that strange silence toward us. We sat
talking In short, broken sentences; but
we could come to no conclusion about it.
It was late when we parted, and I went
to bed, but not to sleep.
Upon going downstairs in the morning
I found that Jack was already off, having
left a short note for me, saying he would
visit my patients that day. I had scarce
ly begun breakfast when the servant an
nounced "a lady," and as the lady fol
lowed close upon his heels, I saw behind
his shoulder the familiar face of Johan
na, looKiug extremely grave. She was
soon seated beside me, watching me with
something of the tender, wistful gaze of
my mother.
"Your friend, Dr. John Senior, called
upon us a short time since," sho said,
"and told ns this sad, sad news."
I nodded silently. ,
"If we had only known it yesterday.
she continued,, "you would never have
hoard what we then said. This makes
so vast a difference. Julia could not have
become your wife while there was an
other woman living whom you loved
more. You understand her feelins?".
"Yes," I said; "Julia Is right."
"My brother and I have been talking
about the chnngo this will make," she
resumed. "He would not rob you of any
consolation or of any. future hnppiness;
not for worlds. He relinquishes all claim
to r hope of Julia's affection- "
That would be unjunt to Julia." I In
terrupted. "Kb ruum not be sacrifice
to me any longer. I do not scppone I
hhnll ever marry "
"You must marry, Martin," she inter
rupted In her turn, and speaking em
phatically; "yon are altogether unfit ed
for a bachelor's life. It Is nil very will
for Dr. John Senior, who ha never
known a woman's lOUipaniontbip, and
who can d without It. Hut it i udry

Heron Nesta In the Maine Woods.
There are three known hercn colonies
in New England. One of them Is on
the plantation just to the north of Se-
bec Lake. On a point of land reaching
out Into the pond Is a growth ot tall
silver-trcnesr-amt there are at least
1 100 nesta In the tops of these trees. The
trees are tall, without limbs for forty-
feet or more from the ground. It is a
well known fact that herons never
build a nest In a tree with limbs much
less than forty feet from the earth. The
nests are constructed from small sticks,
some up to an inch In diameter. The
nest is at least two feet across, and
the eggs are a trifle smaller than a
hen's egg, and of a pale blue color. The
old birds go long distances on their for-
uglng trips, In some cases forty and fif
ty miles. The birds of this species
about Moosehehd Lake and around the
ponds miles to the Bouth all make their
way to this particular colony at night
Standing on the point one enn see the
birds coming from all directions during
the period in which they feed thelf

Java's Great Explosion.
Dr. Eugene Murray Aaron calls the
eruption of the volcano Krakatua in
Java "the greatest explosion of modern
times." He says:
"It Is quite snfe to say, when we are
asked the question as to which of all
the mighty manifestations of God's
power in this world thus far within
the ken of science has been the most
stupendous, the most all-overwhelming,
that the terrific annihilation of Kraka
tua, In 1SS3, surpasses all else. A smoke
that encircled the globe, a wave that
traveled 7,500 miles, a sound heard 3,-
000 miles afar and an air shock hurled
thrice around the earth what more
can be sought as testimony to the pent
up energies beneath our very feet?"
The Densest Population.
The greatest density of the popula
tion in the world Is claimed for Bom
bay, and Is only disputed by Agra. The
population of Bombay amounts to 700
persons per acre In certain areas, and
in these sections the street area only
occupies one-fourth of the whole. If
the entire population massed in the
streets for any purpose, the density
would equal 8,040 persons per acre.

PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION.
Sets Apart Thursday, November 28, as a Day
of National Thanksgiving.
Washington, Nov. 2. President
Roosevelt today issued his proclama
tion fixing Thursday, November 28,
as a day of national thanksgiving. It
reads:
a rrociamaiion. i ne season is
nigh when, according to the time-
hallowed custom of our people, the
president appoints a day as the espe
cial occasion for praise and thanks
giving to God.
'This Thanksgiving finds the peo
ple still bowed with sorrow for the
death of a greatand good president
We mourn for President McKinley
because we loved and honored him,
and the manner of his death should
awaken in the breasts of our people
a keen anxiety and a resolute purpose
not to be driven by any calamity
from the path of strong, orderly, pop
ular liberty, which, as a nation, we
have thus far salely trod.
'Yet, in spite of this great disaster,
it is nevertheless true that no people
on earth have, such abundant cause
for thanksgiving as we have. The
past year, in particular, has been one
of peace and plenty. We have pros
pered in things material, and have
been able to work for our own uplift
ing in things intellectual and spirit
ual. Let us remember that, as much
has been given us, much will be ex
pected from us; and that true hom
age comes from the heart as well as
from the lips and shows itself in
deeds. We can best Drove our thank
fulness to the Almighty by the way
in which, on this earth, and at this
time, each of us does his duty to his
fellow men.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the United
States, da hereby designate as a day
of general thanksgiving,, Thursday, i
the 28th of this present November, j
and do recommend that throughout '
the land the people cease from their
wonted occuaptions and at their sev
eral homes and places of worshin
thank the giver of all cood for the
countless blessings of our national life.
in witness whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.

Seattle, Nov. 7. Supreme Presi

tary J. L. Mitchell, Supreme Cap
tain Paul Pferdner and T. B. Mc-
Devitt, of the Order of Washington,
have answered charges made by John
R. Parker, president of the local
union, regarding the organization.
The supreme officers were indorsed in
every possible manner by the members
of the union, and whatever dissention
there might have been, disappeared
when President Parker threw down
his badge and withdrew from the
meeting. A unanimous vote of con
fidence in the head officers was ex
pressed by the Seattle union, and
peace reigns, with the exception that
Parker is to be tried under impeach
ment proceedings.
The Order of Washington has un
ions in Oregon, Washington, Idaho
and Montana, and has a membership
of over 12,000. The supreme officers
are leading citizens of Portland. It
is incorporated under the laws of
Oregon, and was the first society
