"8ince he married again," he answer ed; "they were married on the 2d of Oc tober, and thla waa early In November I had gone to Rldley'a after a place for a poor fellow as an aaalatant to a dmg glat, and 1 aaw tha girl dlatlnctly. Bhe gave the name of Ellen Martineau. Thoae lettera about her death are all forgvriea." "Ollvla'a la not," I aald; "I know her handwriting too well." "Well, then," observed Jack, "there la only one explanation. She haa aent them herself to throw Foster off the acent; ahe thinka ahe will be aafe if he bellevea her dead." , - "iNo," I anawered hotly, "aha would never have dona auch a thing aa that" "Who else la benefited by It f" he aak ed gravely, "It doea not put Foster iuto poaaeaaion of any of her property, or that would have been a motive for him to do It Dut he galna nothing by it; and ha la ao convinced of her death that he haa taken a aecond wife." "What can I do now?' I aald, epeaking aloud, though I waa thinking to myaelf. "Martin," replied Jack, gravely, "huVt It wiaeat to leave the matter aa It stands? If you find Olivia, what then? 8he ia aa much aeparated from you aa ahe can be by death. So long aa Foster Uvea It ia woree than uaeleaa to be thinking of her." "I only wish to aatiafy myself that she la alive," I anawered. "Juat think of it, Jack, not to know whether aho la living or deadl You must help me to satisfy myeelf. Thla myatery would be Intolera tie to me." ...... "You're right, old fellow," he aald, cor dlallyt "we will go to Rldley'a together to-morrow morning." We were there aoon after the doors were open. There were not many ell nta present and tha clerka were enjoy ing a alack time. Jack had recalled to hla mind the exact date of hla former visit; and thua the aole difficulty was overcome. The clerk found the name of Ellen Martineau entered under that date In hla book. "Yea," he said, "MIsa Ellen Martineau. English teacher In a French achool; pre mium to be paid, about 10; no salary; reference, Mrs, Wilkinson, No. 10, Bell ringer atreet" "No. 19 Bellrlnger atreetl" we repoatod In one breath, "Yea, gentlemen, that la the address' aald the clerk, closing the book. "Shall I write It down for you? Mra. Wilkin aon waa the party who should have paid our commission; aa you perceive, a pre mium waa required instead of a salary given. We feel pretty sure the youn.n lady went to the school, but Mrs. 'Wil kinson doules it, and it ia not worth our while to pursue oue claim' In law." "Can you describe the young lady J" I Inquired. , "Weil, no Wr'hflve such liosts tff young ladles heroV !', ,v.w-'ix. "Do you know where the achool Is?" : "No. Mrs. Wilkinson waa the party," tie aald. "We had nothing to do with it, except to send any ladles to her who thought it worth their while. That was all." . Aa we could obtain no further Informa tion we went away, and paced up and down the tolerably quiet street deep in consultation. That we should have need for great caution, and aa much craftiness aa we both possessed, In pursuing our in quiries waa quite evident. Who could be this Mra. Wilkinson? Was It possi ble that aha might prove to be Mrs. Fos j Dilemma Strcttbn ter herself? At any rate It would not do for either of us to present ourselves there lu quest of Miss Ellen Martineau. It waa fluully aettled between us that Jo hanna should be entrusted with the diplo matic enterprise, Johanna put In the next day following down (be clews Jack aud 1 bad discov ered. "Well, Martin," she aaid that evening, "you need suffer no more anxiety. Olivia haa gone as Knllh teacher la an excel lent French school, where the lady is thoroughly acquainted with English ways and comforts. This la the prospectua of the establishment. You aee there are 'extensive grounds for recreation, and the comforts of a cheerfully happy home, the domestic arrangements being on a thor oughly liberal scale.' Here la also a pho tographic view of the place; a charming villa, you aee, In the best French style. The lady's husband is an avocat; and ev erything la taught by professors cosmog raphy and pedagogy, and other atudlea of which we never heard when I waa a girl. Olivia la to atay there twelve raontha, and In return for her aerrtcea will take les sons from any professors attending the eetabliehment Your mind may be quite at ease now." "But where Is the placer' I Inquired. "Oh! It is in Normandy Nolreau," he aald "quite out of the range of railways and tourlnta. There will be no danger of any one finding her out there; and you know site baa changed her name alto gether thla time." "Did you discover that Olivia and Ellen Martineau are the aame persons?" I ask ed. "SITTINQ BESIDE "No, I did not" she answered; "I thought you were sure of that." But I waa not sure of it; neither could Jack be sure. He puxxled himnelf In trying to give a satisfactory description of bis Ellen Martlueau; but every an swer he gave to my eager questions plunged ua Into greater uncertainty. He waa not sure of the color either of her hair or eyes, aud made blundering guesses at her height What was I to believe? It was running too great a risk to make any further luquiries at No. 10 Bellrlnger atreet Mra. Wilkinson wua the landlady of the lodging house, and she had told Johauna that Madame Ter rier boarded with her when she waa In London. But ahe might begin to talk to her other lodgers, if her own curiosity were excited; and once more my desire to fathom the mystery banging about Olivia might plunge her into fresh diffi culties, should It reach the ears of Fos ter or his wife. "I must satisfy myself about her safe ty now," I said. "Only put yourself In my place, Jack. How can I rest till I know more about Olivia?" ' "I do put mysolf In your place,"- he answered. "What do you soy to having a run down to thla place in Basse Nor mandy, and seeing for yourself whether Miss Ellen Martineau Is your Olivia?" "How can I?" I asked, attempting to hang back, from the suggestion. It was a busy time with us. The season was iu full roll, and our most aristocratic pa tients were In town. The easterly winds were bringing In their naual harvest of bronchitis and diphtheria. If I wont Jack's hands would be more than full. Had these things come to perplex us only two months earlier, I could have taken a holiday with a clear conscience. "Dad will Jump at the chance of com ing back for a week," replied Jaek;-"he ia bored to death down at Fulham. Go you must tor my sake, old fellow. You are good for nothing as long as you're so down In the mouth, I shall be glad to be rid of you." In this way it came to pass that two evenings later I was crossing the Chan nel to Havre, and found myself about five o'clock in the afternoon of the next day at Falaise. It was the terminus of the railway In that direction; and a very ancient conveyance was in waiting to carry on any travelers who were venture some enough to explore the regions be yond. -:' ..... I . very much preferred sitting beside the driver, a red-faced, amoolh-choeked Normun, habited in A blue blouse, who; could crack his long whip with almost the skill of a Tarlsiau omnibus driver. We were-ficuds in a frice.for my pntol Wile almost- iduntlcul with his own. aud be could not believe his own ears that he was talking with' aft-.Emjliahman.' : The sun sank below tho distant horl ion, with 'the ' 'trees ' showing :clear!y against it,J and the light of the stars that came out sue by one almost cast a defined shadow upon our path, from the poplar trees standing in long straight'rows 1n the hedges. If I found Olivia at the end of that star-lit path my gladness in It would be completed.. Yet If I found her, what then? I should see her for a few minutes in the dull salon of a school, per haps with some watchful, spying French woman present I should simply satisfy " -" i V 1 UWi "W M JIM 1.1 WMWlWIMIIILIIIIIIIIIllllWWIIJIIi.lllUIIIIII. Illlll JWIHIIMIIHWm Kfi xV is -h'l myaelf that aha waa living. There could be nothing more between us. I dared not tell bur how dear aha was to me, or ask her if she ever thought of me in her loneliness and frlendlevsoess. I began to sound the driver, cautiously wheeling about the object of my excur sion Into thoae remote regions. I bad tramped through Normandy and Brit tany three or four times, but there had been no inducement to visit Nolreau, which resembled a Lancashire cotton town, and I had never been there. "There are not many English at Nol reau?" I remarked auggastlvely. ' "Not ono," be replied "not one at thla moment. There waa one little English mam'aelle-'peste a very pretty little English girl, who waa voyaging precisely like you, m'sleur, soma months ago. There was a little child with her, and the two were quite alone. They are very in trepid, are the English mam'xelles. She did not know a word of our language. But that was droll, m'sleur! A French demoiselle would never voyage like that" The i'ttle child puszled me. Yet I could not help fancying that this young Englishwoman traveling .alone, with no knowledge of French, must be my Olivia. At any rate It could be so other than Miss Ellen Martlueau. "Where waa she going to?" I asked. "She came to Nolreau to be an In structress la en establishment" answered the driver, In a tone of great enjoyment "an establishment founded by the wife of Monsieur Emits Terrier, tha avocat! He! he! be! how droll that waa, m'sleurl An avocat! Ho they believed that In England? Bah! Emlle Terrier an avo catt" "But what la there to laugh at?" I ask ed. "Am I an avocat?" he inquired deris ively, "am I a proprietor? am I even a cure? Tardon, m'aleur, but I am Just aa much avocat proprietor, cure, aa Emlle Terrier. He waa an Itnpoator. ne be came bankrupt; be and bia wife ran away to aava themaelvea; tha establishment waa broken up. It was a bubble, m'aleur, and It burst" My driver clapped hla hands together lightly, aa though Monaleur Terrier's bub ble needed very little pressure to dis perse It - "Good heavens!" I exclaimed, "but THE DRIVER." what became of Oil of the young Eng lish lady, and the child?" "Ah, tn'sleurt" he said, "I do not know. I do not Uve l Nolreau, but I pass to and fro from Falaise. She has not re turned in my omnibus, that la all I know. But ahe could go to Granville, or to Caen. There are other omnibuses, you aee. Somebody will tell you down there." It waa nearly eleven o'clock before we entered tho town; but I learned a few more particulars from the middle-aged woman in the omnibus bureau. She rec ollected the name of Miss Ellen Marti neau, and her arrival; and she described her with the accuracy and faithfulness of a woman. If ahe were not Olivia her self ahe must be her very counterpart . I atarted out early the next morning to find the Rue de Grace, where the in scription on my' photographic view, of the premises represented them as situated. There were two houses, one standing in tho street, the other lying back beyond a very pleasant garden. A Frenchman waa pacing up and down the broad gravel path which connected them, examining critically the vlnea growing against the walls. Two little children were gam boling about In close white caps, and with frocks down to their heels. Upon seeing me he lifted hla hat. I returned the sal utation with a politeness as ceremonious as hla own. "Monsieur Is an Englishman?" he said in a doubtful tone. "From the Channel Ialands," I replied. "Ah! you belong to us," he said, "but you are hybrid, balf English, half French; a fino race. I also have English blood in my velna," I paid monsieur a compliment upon the result of the admixture of blood in his own instance, and then proceeded to un fold my object in now visiting him. "Ah!" he aaid, Vyes, yes, yes; Terrier was an Impostor. These houses are mine, monsieur. I live In the front yon der; my doughter and aon-tn-law occupy the other. We had the photographs tak en for our own pleasure, but Terrier must have bought them from the artist, no doubt I have a small cottage at the back of my house; monsieur! there it is. Terrier rented It from me for two hun dred franca a year. I permitted him to pass along this walk,-and through our conch house into a passage which leads to the atreet where madame had her school. Termit me, and I will show It to you." He led me through a shed, and along ft dirty, vaulted passage, into a mean street at the back. A small, miserable-looking house stood In it, shut up. With broken persiennes covering the windows. My heart sank at the Idea of Olivia Jiving here, In such discomfort and neglect and sordid poverty. "Did you., ever , gee . a jroung English lady hero, monsieur?"' I asked; "she ar rived about the beginning of last Novem ber." . .. ..... . .. " "But yes, certainly, monsieur," he fel plied, "a charming English demoiselle! One must have been blind not to observe her. A sweet face, with hair of gold, but a little more somber. ; ., "What height was she, monsieur?" 1 inquired. , "A Just height," he answered, "not tall like a came), nor too short like a mon key. She would stand an Inch or two above your shoulder, monsieur." It could be no other than my Oilriat She had been living here, tint, la this miserable place, ouly a tion:h ngo; but where could she be now? II w was I to find any trace of h-r? "I will make some luquli'lc from my daughter," aald the French mail; "when the establishment waa LroUcu ao I was ill with the fever, monsieur. We have fever often here. But she will know I will ask her." He returned to me after w.nie time, with the information that t! EnjUsh demoiselle bad been seen In the bouse of a woman who sold milk, Jla l molaelJe Rosalie by name; and be vohiuteered to accompany me to her dwells- It was a poor-looking h" . of one room only, In the same t aa the school; but we found mo one there except sn old woman, execedhiisdy deaf, who told ns that Mademoiselle J ; waa gone somewhere to nurse a r ive, who was dangerously ill, and sb mw n-Hh-Ing of an Englishwoman en I UK's girl. I turned away battled an i i;'..vouraged; but my new friend was not. c quickly depreaaed. It was Impossible, he main tained, that the EnglUh girl and tha child could have left the towa unnoticed. He went with me to all the omnibus bu reaus, where we made urgent inquiries concerning the passengers who had quit ted Nolreau during the laat month. No places had been taken for Mlaa Ellas Martineau and the child, for there was no auch same in any of the books. But at each bureau I was recommended to see the drivers upon their return In tha evening; and I wss compelled to give up the pursuit for that day. (To be continued.) SPOILED THE FLIRTATION. Poay Waa m Bacer and Had to Keep la the Front. : A gentleman who. la a member of the Meadow Brook Hunt Club and delights la horseback riding received a few days ago a wiry "cayoue" or cow-pony, aa they are called In the Northwest The animal bad some speed and an easy gait, and, after riding It around the country roads a few days, he rode It one evening, with a party of ladies and gentlemen who were out for a moon light canter. ' The party split up Into couples, and while the gentleman In question would much prefer to have taken the rear of the line with the lady whose escort he was, yet the pony developed an unex pected ambition to lead the procession, according to the New York Mail and Express. He let the "cayuse" have Its own way only to find that the head strong animal Insisted on being at least one-half a length In front of the horse ridden by the lady. There was no holding that pony back on even terms with the other horses. It pranced about Jumped from aide to side and pulled the bit and would be quiet only when It had Its nose well to the front The lady en Joyed It Immensely,' bat the gentleman well,, he left unsaid many things which he had planned to say to the young lady when they started on the rldo. Subsequently the gentleman found the pony had been used for rac ing In the West and had been trained to "go to the front and stay there."

' Further Information Wanted. In one of the later settlements of New South Wales a man was put on trial for stealing a watch. The evidence had been very conflicting, and as the Jury retired the Judge remarked kindly that if he could give any assistance in the way of smoothing out possible diffi culties he should be happy to do so. Eleven of the Jury had filed out of the box, but the twelfth remained, and the expression on bis face showed that he was in deep trouble. ; "Well, sir," remarked the Judge, "Is there any question you would like to ask me before you retire?" The Juror's face brightened, and he replied eagerly: "I would like to know, my lord, If you could tell us whether the prisoner stole the watch." -' Wanted to Be a Heathen.

Proclaim November 28 to B a Day of Thanksgiving. Salem, Nov. 13. Governor Gecr today issued a Thanksgiving procla mation, designating November 28 as the day to be observed. The procla mation follows: "Although not yet passed from beneath the shadow of the great national tragedy which took from us the presence and counsel of our be loved chief magistrate, we find reason for national thanksgiving in the uni fying effect the great aflliction has bad upon the different sections of Our common country, and for the prospest of a continued era of good feeling. At no time within 50 years has party feeling been less bitter, or our country so harmonious in mat ters concerning its domestic welfare. Every department of our state gov ernment is performing the duties for which it was created, with prompt ness and fidelity; the hand of plenty has provided the necessaries of life in abundance among our people, all classes- of whom are engaged in re munerative employment, and the name of our fair state in other sec tions of our great country in synony mous with steady progress and an assuredly prosperous future. "Recognizing in all these things the hand and mind of an overruling Providence who doetb all things well, and that a spirit of gratitude sug gests an acknowledgement of the many favors enjoyed by us as a com monwealth, I hereby recommend, in conformity with the proclamation of the president of the United States, that Thursday, the 28th of Novem ber, 1901, be observed as . a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and that all our people on that day, while re membering the poor with appropriate gifts and cheerful words, desist from their usual vocations, and, in their usual places of worship, or elsewhere, give praise to Almighty God, upon whom our fathers so firmly relied for national as well as individual guid ance, for the past mercies, and in voke the Divine aid along the path way of national righteousness as our country assumes the lending position in power and influence among the nations of the earth. ; - "In witness whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the great seal of the state of Oregon to be affixed, at the capitol, in Salem, this 13th day of November, 1901.

The toast delivered by Alfred Canavero, on be half of the Mexican delegation, at a banquet In honor of the pan-American delegates of other nationalities, was noteworthy, on account of its friend liness for the United States. Mr. Can avero said Napoleon's invasion of Mexico during the Civil War in the United States was in the hope of es tablishing an empire and dismember ing the American Republic, thus bring ing republics into disrepute. Tho des perate resistance of Mexico and the aid extended by the United States, he said, saved both nations. Said he: Wo already had the Monroe Doc trine, safeguard of tho New World. The Diaz Doctrine constitutes its com plement, and the Diaz Doctrine may be expressed in this apothegm: 'The International law of America is found ed on peace, which In Its turn depends on the respect for tho sovereignty, In dependence and territorial Integrity of each and all the republics of Amer ica.'"
