At dinner Jark announced hla Intention

"You are not fit to deal with the fel

but you know nothing of the breed here.
Now if I aee him 1 will eutteeaa out of

Jack returned, hla fact kindled with
ticttement. lie caught -my hand, and
a-raaoed It heartily.
"I so more beiieva )e la dead than .1

"Nor 1 cried.
"Year continued Jack, with an affec
tionate lunge at me; "at any rate I can
awear be la the man; and I would bet a
tbouaand to ono that the girl waa Olivia."
"But when waa ItT I aaked.
"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

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."
Where Centenarians Dwelt
More people over one hundred years
old are found In mild climates than in
the higher altitudes, according to the
"Family Doctor.". According to the
last census of the German Empire, of
a population of 55,000,000 only 78 have
passed the hundredth year. France,
With a population of 40,000,000, has 213
centenarians. In England there are
140; in Ireland, 878; and in Scotland,
40. Sweden has 10, and Norway 23;
Belgium, 6; Denmark, 2; Switzerland,
none. Spain, with a population of 18,
000,000, has 401 persons over 100 years
of age. Of the 2,250,000 Inhabitants of
Servia, 575 have passed the century
mark. It la said that the oldest person
living is Bruno Cotrlm, born In Africa,
and now living In Rio Janeiro. He is
150 years old. A coachman In Moscow
has lived for 140 years. '
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."

GOVERNOR'8 PROCLAMATION.
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.
T. T. GEEK, Governor.
F. I. DUNBAR, Secretary of State.
THE DIAZ DOCTRINE.
Friendly Remark by a Mexican" at Pan
American Banquet
City of Mexico, Nov. 18. The toast
delivered by Alfred Canavero, on be
half of the Mexican delegation, at a

United States was in the hope of es
tablishing an empire and dismember

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.'" City Ledger Missing.
