her all I had learnd atwut tne pbuk

Mra. Wilkinson described Kllen .Moru
neau to me, when she waa talking about
her visitor who had come to Inquire nf
ter hor, I grow quite frightened lest ho
ahould ever bo charged with marrying
me whilst she was alive. So I persuad
ed him to let me come here and make
aure of it, though the journey cost a
great deal, and we have very little
money to spare. Wo dld not know what
trlcka Olivia might do, aud It mado me
very miserable to think alio might be alill
alive, and I in her place."
I could not but acknowledge to myself
that there was sotno reason In Mrs. Fos
ter's statement of the case.
"There Is not tho slightest chance of
your finding her," I remarked. .
"Isn't there?" she asked, with nn evil
gleam in her eyes, which I Just caught
before sho hid her face again In her hand
kerchief. "At any rate," I snld, "you would have
no power over her if you found her. You
could not take her back with you by
force. I do not know how tho French
laws would regard Foster's authority, but
you Can have none whatever, nn.l he Is
quite unfit to take this long journey to
claim her. Ileally I do not seo what you
can do; and I should think your wisest
plan would bo to go back and take care
of him, leaving her alono. I am bore to
protect her, and I shall stay uutil I ace
you fairly out of the place."
I kept no very strict -watch over her
during the day, for I felt sure she would
find no trace of Olivia in Noireau. At
night I saw ber again. She was worn
. out and despondent, and declared her
aclf qulto ready to return to FalnUe by
the omnibus at five o'clock In the morn
ing. I saw her off, and gave the driver
a fee to bring mo word for what town she
took her ticket at the railway station.
When he returned In the evening he told
me he had hlmsolf bought her one for
Houfleur, and started her fairly on hor
way homo.
As for myself I bad spent the day in
making Inquiries at the otllcea of the local
custom houses which stand at every en
trance into a town or village in France,
for the gathering, of trifling, vexatious
taxes upon articles of food and merchan
dise. At one of theso I had learned that,
three or four weeks ago a young Eng
lishwoman with a little girl had passed
by on foot, each carrying a small bundle,
which had not been examined. It was
on the rond to Granville, which was be
tween thirty nnd forty miles away. From
Granville was the nearest route to the
Channel Islands. Waa It not possible
that Olivia had resolved to seek refuge
there again? Ferhaps to seek me I My
heart, bowed down by tho sad picture of
her and the little child leaving the town
' on foot, beat high again at the thought

At Granville I lea rued that a young
lady aud a child had made th voyag to
Jersey a abort time before, and 1 went
on with stronger hop. Hut In Jersey
I could obtain no further information
about tar; nor in Guernsey, whither I
felt stir Olivia would certainly hav pro
ceeded. I took on, day mor to cro

knew no more than I ltd. II abaoitely
refused to believe that Olivia wa dead.
"In Augu.t," b said, "I shall hear
from her. Take courage aud t-omrort.
Hh promised it, and ah will keep her
promise. If she had known herself to
be dying ah would certainly have sent
me word."
"It U a long time to wait," I aald, with
an utter sinking of spirit.
"It la a long tlm to wait!" he echoed,
lifting up his hanla, and letting them
fall again with a gtatur of weariness;
"but wo musf wait and hope."
To wait In Impatience, and to hope at
times, and despair at times, 1 returned
to Loudon.
CHAPTEIl XXII.
One of my first proceedings, after my
return, wa to aai-ertain bow the Eng
lish law aloud with regard to Olivia's
position. Fortunately for me, one of Ir,
Senior' oldest friend wa a lawyer of
great repute, and he discussed the qui-B'
tiou with mo after a dluuer at his bouse
at Fulhaui.
"There seems to be no proof of any kind
agaiust the husband," ue said, after 1
bad told him all.
"Why!" I exclaimed, "her you hav a
girl brought up in luxury and wealth.
willing to brave any poverty rather than
contluue to live with him."
"A girl' whim," he aald.
"Theu Foster could compel her- to re
turn to him? I aaked.
"Aa far a I aee into the ease, ho cer
tainly could," was tho auswer, which
drove m frantic.
"Hut there Is this second marriage," I
objected.
"There lies the kernel of the case," lje
aald. "You tell mo there are papers,
which you belluve to bo forgeries, pur
porting to be tho medical certificate with
corroborative proof of her death. Now,
if the wife be eullry of framing these,
the husband will bring them against her
as the ground on which h felt free to
contract his second marriage. She ha
don a very foolish and a very wicked
lltln. JJuuu.
"You think she did It?" I asked.
Mo smiled significantly, but without
saying anything.
"Ilut what can be done now?" I asked
"All you can do," be answered, "Is to
establish your influence over this follow
and go cautiously to work with htm. As
long aa the lady la lu France, If she bo
alive, and he la too 111 to go after her, she
la anfe. You may convince him by de
grees that It is to his interest to come to
some terms with her. A formal deed of
separation might be agreed upon, and
drawn up: but even that will not perfect
ly aecure her In the future,"
I waa compelled to remain satisfied
with this opinion. Yet how could I be
satisfied, whilst Olivia, if she waa still
living, waa wandering about homeless,
and, as I feared, destitute, in a foreign
country?
I made my 'first cnll npon Foster the
next evening. Mrs. Foster had been to
Brook street every day since her re
turn, to Inquire for me, nnd to leave an
urgent message that I should go to I'ell
ringer street us soon as I was again in
town. Tho lodging house looked almost
as wretched aa the forsnk.n dwelling
down at Noireau, whero Olivia had per
haps been living; aud the stifling, musty
air inside it almost made mo gasp for
breath.
"So you are come back!" was Foster's
greeting, aa I entered tho dingy room.
"Yes," I replied.
"I neod not ask what success you've
had," he said, sneering. "'Why so pale
and wan, fond lover?' Your trip has not
agreed with you, that Is plain enough
II did not agree with Carry, cither, for
sho came back swearing sho would never
go on such a wild-goose chase again. You
know I was quite opposed to her going?"
"No," I snld incredulously. The dia
mond ring hud disappeared from bis fin
ger, nnd it was cosy to guosa how the
funds had been raised for the journey.
"Altogether opposed," he repeated. "I
believe Olivia Is dead. I am quite sure
she has never been under this roof with
nit, as Mis Kllen Martlneau has been.
I ahould hove known it as surely as ever
a tiger aceiited its prey. Do you Biipnose
I have no sense kecu enough to tell me
she was In the very house where I was?"
"Nonsense!" I unswered. Ills eyes g ls-
tened cruolly, and made mo almost ready
to spring upon him. I could have seized
htm by the throat and shaken him to
death, in my suiUleU passion of loathing
against him; but 1 sat quiet, and ejacu
la ted "Nonsense!" .Such power has the
spirit of tho nineteenth century among
civilised classes.
"Olivia is dead," he said, In a solemn
tone. "I am convinced of that from
another reason; through all the misery
of our marriage, I never knew her guilty
of nn untruth, not the smallest. She was
as true as the gospel. Do you think
you or Carry could moke mo believo that
sho would trifle with such an awful sub
ject as her own death? No. I wou'.d
take my oath that Olivia would never
have had that letter sent, or written to
me those few lines of farewell, but to
let me know that she was dead."
There was no doubt whatever that he
was suffering from tho same disease as
that which had been the death of my
mother a disease almost invariably fa
tal, sooner or later. A few cases of cure,
under most fayorable circumstances, had
been reported during the last half con
tury ; but the chances were dead against
Foster s recovery. In au probability, a
long and painful Illness, terminating In
inevitable death, lay before "him. In the
-opinion of my two senior physicians, all
that. I could do would be to alleviate the
worst pangs of it. "
Ills case haunted me day and night
In that deep undercurrent of cwsscious-
noss which lurks beneath cy earf ace
sensations and Impressions, there wa al-
way present th Image of Foster, with
bl pale, cynical face and pitlle eye.
With this wa th perpetual remem
brance that a subtle malady, beyond, th
reach of our skill, wa slowly eating away
bis life. The man I abhorred; but the
sufferer, mysteriously linked with th
nicmorlr which clung about my motner,
aroused my most urgent, inxtlnctiv com
passion. Only one before bad I watched
th conflict between discs and It rem
edy with so Intense an Interest.
It waa a day or two after conuita
lion that I cam accidentally upon th
llttl not book which 1 had kept in
Guernseya prlvat not Vok, accessi
ble only to myself. It wa nignt; Jaca,
a nsoal, waa gone out, and I wa alone.
I turned over the leavea merely for list
less want of occupation. All at once I
came upon an entry, made In connection
with my mother' lllnes. which recalled
to m the discovery I believed I bad
mad of a remedy for her disease, bad It
only been applied in It earlier stage.
It had slipped out of my mind, but now
my memory leaped upon it with irresiati
blt force.
I must tell th whole truth, however
terrible and humiliating it may be.
Whether I had been true or false to my
self up to that moment I cannot say. I
bad taken upon myself the care and, If
possible, the cure of this man, who waa
my enemy, if 1 bad an enemy in the
world. Ilia life and mine could not run
parallel without great grief and hurt to
me, and to one dearer than mytelf. Now,
that a better chance wa thrust npon ma
in hi favor, I sbrauk from seising it with
unutterable reluctance. I turned heart
sick at th thought of it
Yea, 1 wished hint to die. Conscience
flashed th answer across the inner
depths of my soul, as a glare of lightning
over the sharp crags and cruel waves of
our island in a midnight storm. I saw
with terrible distinctnesa that there had
been lurking within a aure sense of satis
faction in th certainty that he must die.
I took up my note book, and went away
to my room, lest Jack should come In sud
denly and read my secret on my face. I
thrust the book into a drawer la my
desk, and locked it away, out of my
sight.
It seemed cruel that this power should
come to mi from my mother' death. If
she were living still, or if she had died
from any other cause, the discovery of
tbla remedy would never have been made
by me. And I was to take it a a sort
of miraculous gift, purchased by ber
pangs, and bestow it upon the only man
I hated. For I hated him; I said so to
myself.
Hut It could not rest at that I fought
a battle with myself all through the quiet
night, motionless and in silence, lest Jack
ahould become aware that I wa not
sleeping. How should I ever face him,
or grasp his hearty band again, with such
a secret weight upon my soul? Yet bow
could I resolve to sav Foster at the cost
of dooming Olivia to a lifelong bondage
should he discover where she was, or to
lifelong jorertjyiil.jb remain con
cealed? If I were only aure that cbe
waa alive! It was for her sake merely
that I hesitated.
The morning dawned before I could de
cide. The decision, when made, brought
no feeling of relief or triumph to me.
As soon as it was probable that Dr.
Senior could see me, I was at his house
at Fulham; and In rapid, almost Incoher
ent words laid what I believed to be my
Important discovery before him. Ue sat
thinking for some time, running over in
his own mind such cases aa had come
under bis own observation. ' After a
while a gleam of pleasure passed over
bis face, and his eyes brightened as he
lookod at me.
"I congratulate you, Martin," he said,
"though I wish Jack had hit upon tbla.
I believe it will prove a real benefit to
our science. Let me turn It over a little
longer, and consult some of my col
leagues about It. But I think you are
right. You are about to try it on poor
Foster ?"
"Yes," I answered, with a chilly sensa
tion in my veins.
"It can do him no harm," he aald, "and
In my opinion it will prolong his life to
old age, if he is careful of himself. I
will write a paper on the subject for the
Lancet, if you will allow me."
"With all my heart," I aald Badly.
The old physician regarded me for a
minute with bis keen eyes, which had
looked through the window of disease
into many a human soul. I shrank from
the scrutiny, but I need not have done
so. He grasped my hand firmly and
closely.
"God bless you, Martin!" he said, "God
bless you!"
I went straight from Fulham to Bell
ringer street A healthy impulse to ful
fill all my duty, however difficult was in
its first fervid moment "of action. Nev
ertheless there was a subtle hope within
me founded npon one chnuoe that waa
left it was just possible that Foster
might refuse to be made the subject of
an experiment; for an experiment it was.
I sat down beside him, and told him
what I believed to be bis chance or life;
not concealiug from him that I proposed
to try, if he gave his consent a mode of
treatment which had never been practic
ed before. His eye, keen and sharp as
that of a lynx, seemed to read my
thoughts as Dr. Senior's had done. .
"Martin Dobree," he said, in a voice ao
different from his ordinary caustic tone
that it almost startled me, "I can trust
you. . I put myself with Implicit conn
deneo into your hands."
The last chance dare I say the last
hope? was gone. I stood pledged on my
honor as a physician, to employ this dis
covery, which had been laid open to me
by my mother s fatal illness, for the ben
eflt of the man whoso life was most
harmful to Olivia and myself. ,1 felt
suffocated, stifled. I opened the win
dow for a minute or two, and leaned
through It to catch the fresh breath of
the outer air. x
"I must tell you," I said, when I drew
my head in again, "that you must not
expect to regain your health and strength
so completely as to be able to return, to
your old dissipations. But if you are
careful of yourself you may live to. sixty
or seventy.
"Life at any price!" he answered.
"There would be more chance for you
now," I said, "if you could have better
air than this."
"How can I?" he asked.
"Be frank with me," I answered, "and
tell me what your, moans are. It would
be worth your while to spend your last
farthing upon this chance."
"Is it not enough to make a man mad,"
he said, "to know there are thousands
lying in the bauk in his wife' name, and
he cannot touch a peony of it? It la life
Itself to ue; yet I may d Ilk a dog !
this hoi for th want of it. My death
will II at Olivia' door, curs ber!"
II fell back upon bi pillows, with a
groan a heavy and deep as ever came
from the Jieart of a wretch perishing from
sheer want I could not (loose but feel
torn pity for him; but tbii wa an op
portunity I must not miss;
"t I of no us to cur her," I aald;
"come, Foster, let n talk over thi mat

TRADE IN LATIN AMERICAS.
Why tha Ualt4 State l et Jot 6-
care It Share 1 hereof.
Minister Lootnla maintains that the
United State docs not bare, in any
part of Latin America, the share, of
trade which Its productivity and prox
imity entitle It to. The Germans, tho
English, the French and even the Span
ish exhibit a higher degree of commer
cial Intelligence than we do in dealing
with the Latin Americans.
Our merchants and manufacturers
are loath to understand that in order to
succeed in Central or South America
they must conform to the bmdness
methods to which centuries of uaage
have given the force and prestige of
national customs. If we want to do
business with the South Americana we
must in a urge measure, do business
In their way, and not try to force our
methods upon them, though we may be
convinced that our manner of conduct
ing commercial affairs Is superior to
theirs.
The Latin-American merchant Is ac
customed to long credit Six months
is the usual period, but sometimes it Is
a year. He will pay, but he must have
time In which to pay, for It is the cus
tom of the South American trader to
be a banker as well as a merchant
aud he has to make large advance In
money and supplies to the owners of
coffee and other plantations to enable
them to pay their laborers, and the
merchant does not expect repayment
until the coffee crop Is harvested and
sold, once a year. So It will be seen
that long time in making Ma own pay
ments Is essential to him.
The European merchants and manu
facturers, understand this, and arrange
to give the South American merchant
ample time In which to meet bis obli
gations. ' The Europeans make a care
ful, comprehensive systematic study of
the conditions and necessities of the
Latin-American market, and then set
to work in an intelligent way to meet
and satisfy those conditions and needs.
Success.
The Salad Had Preference.
American social leaders are more In
terested In the Kaiser of Germany than
they ever were In any crowned head,
outside of the English rulers. Probably
It is because the Kaiser Is fond of
Americans, and shows as keen a de
sire as his uncle, the King of England,
to meet charming Americans and talk
to them. In Berlin and Iloiuburg he
has met many of the rich social set of
America and they are .loud in their
praise of the Emperor.
He la described as having the most
fascinating personality in Europe to
day. It is said of him that he has that
great quality which made the wife of
President Cleveland one of the most
notable women .who ever presided at
the White House. That is, the gift of
making a visitor or auditor think tbat
he is the one person In the world whom
the great, one desires to meet
A woman, who Is of high social dis
tinction In America, was presented to
the Kaiser at some dinner tbat was not

talking to him when she was offered
a famous German salad. It was band
ed on her right and the Kaiser was n
her left, which put her in a predica
ment , V
She did not dare turn her face from
the Emperor to help herself to the sal
ad. The situation was too much for
ber. The Emperor, seeing the condition
at a glance, looked at her for an Instant
and laughed, as he said: "A Kaiser

CONSIDINE CLEARED.
The Jury Finds Him Not Guilty of the Mur
der of Meredith.
Seattle, Nov. 22. John W. Consi-
dine left the King county court house
shortly before 6 o'clock last evening
a free man. According to the verdict
of the jury, he is not guilty of the
murder of ex-Chief of Police William
L. Meredith. The verdict was read
in the court room at 5:35, exactly
three hours from the time the jury
men were locked up for deliberation.
It was received by the defendant, hli
family, friends and consul with every
evidence of joy and relieL There was
no demonstration of any kind from
the big audience, the onlyjnovement
being toward the doors
The members of the jury are reti
cent concerning what went on behind
the doors of their room. " One and all
decline to say how they stood Jon the
first ballot, or to give the number of
ballots taken. No explanation was
offered for the long delay. As one
juror expressed it: "We expect "con
siderable adverse criticism, and a
good deal of the other kind, so we
have agreed not to say anything
about how we reached the verdict."
After the reading of the verdict.
Tom and John Considine both rose
and grasped the hands of the jury
men, who were by this time filing
from the box. There was a general
shaking of hands about the 'Considine
table for several minutes, and then
the courtroom was gradually cleared.
The long trial was over.
It is not thought likely that Tom
Considine, who is also charged with
the murder xA Meredith, will be
brought to trial, although the prose
cuting attorney has given out no
statement to this effect.
