CHAPTER XI.-(ContInaed.)
That was my sentence of banishment.
She had only addressed ma once during
the conreraatlon. It wai curious to fee
bow there was no resentment in her
manner towards my father, who had sys
tematically robbed her, whilst she treat
ed me with profound wrath and bitter
ness. The report of my father's illness had
spread before I reached home, and suf
ficiently accounted for our visit to Jer
sey, and the temporary postponement of
my last trip to England before our mar
riage. My mother, Johanna and I kept
oar own counsel, and answered the many
questions asked us as vaguely as the
Delphic oracle.
I wrote to Tardif, telling him I was
goiug for an indefinite period to London,
and that if any difficulty or danger
threatened Olivia, I begged of him to
communicate with my mother, who had
promised me to befriend her as far as It
Jay in her power. My poor mother
thought of her without bitterness, though
In deep regret. To Olivia herself I wrote
a line or two, finding myself too weak
to resist the temptation. I said:
"My Dear Olivia I told you I was
about to be married to my cousin Julia
Dobree; that engagement is at an end.
I am obliged to leave Guernsey, and seek
my fortune elsewhere. It will be a long
time before I can see you again, if I ever
have that great happiness. Whenever
you feel the want of a true and tender
friend, my mother is prepared t love you
s if you were ber own daughter. Think
of me also as your friend.
"MARTIN DOBREE."
CHAPTER XII.
I left Guernsey the day before my
father and Julia returned from Jersey.
My Immediate future was not as black
as it might have been. I was going di
rect to the house of my friend Jack Se
nior, who had been my chum at college.
He, like myself, had been hitherto a
aort of partner to his father, the well
known physician, Dr. Senior, of Brook
street They lived together in a highly
respectable but gloomy residence, kept
bachelor fashion, for they had no woman-kind
at all belonging to them. The
father and son lived a good deal apart,
though they were deeply attached to one
another. Jack had bis own apartments,
and his own guests, in the spacious
bouse, and Dr. Senior had bis.
The first night, as Jack and I sat up
together in the long summer twilight, I
told him everything as one tells friend
hundred things one cannot put; into
words to any person who dwells under
the same roof, and Is witness of every
circumstance of one's career.
. As I was talking to him, every emotion
and perception of my brain, which had
been in a wild state of confusion and con
flict, appeared to fall Into its proper
rank. I was no longer doubtful as to
whether I had been the fool my father
called me. My love for Olivia acquired
force and decision. My judgment that
It would have been a folly and a crime
to marry Julia became confirmed.
"Old fellow," said Jack, when I had
finished, "yon are in no end of a mess."
"Well, I am," I admitted; "but what
am I to dor
"First of all, how much money bavs
you?" he asked. ,
"I'd rather not say," I answered.
"Come, old friend," he said, in his
most persuasive tones, "have you fifty
pounds In hand?" o
"No," I replied.
"That's bad!" he said; "but It might
be worse. I've lots of tin, and we al
ways went shares." i
"I must look out for something to do
to-morrow," I remarked.
"Ah, yes!" he answered dryly, "you
might go as assistant to a parish doctor,
or get a berth on board aa emigrant
ship. There are lots of chances for a
young fellow. I tell you what," he said,
"I've a good mind to marry Julia myself
I've always liked her, and we want a
woman in the house. That would put
things straighter, wouldn't it?"
"She would never consent to . leave
Guernsey," I answered, laughing. '"That
was one reason why she was so glad to
marry me."
"Well, then," he said, "would you
mind me having Olivia?"
"Don't jest about such a thing," I re
plied; "It is too serious a question with
me.
"You are really In love!" he answered.
"I will not jest at it But I am ready
to do anything to help you, old boy."
So it proved, for he and Dr. Senior did
their best during the next few weeks to
find a suitable opening for me. I made
their house my home, and was treated as
a most welcome guest in it. Still the
time was irksome. They were busy
whilst I was unoccupied.
My mother's letters did not tend to
rsise my spirits. The tone of them was
uniformly sad. She told me the flood of
sympathy for Julia had risen very high
Indeed; from which I concluded that the
public Indignation against myself must
have risen to the same tide mark. Julia
had resumed her old occupations, but her
spirit was quite broken. Johanna Carey
had offered to go abroad with her, but
she had declined.
A friend of Julia's, said my mother In
another letter, had come to stay with
ber, and endeavor to rouse her. It was
evident she did not like this Kate Dal
trey, herself, for the dislike crept out
nnawares through all the gentleness of
her phrases. "She says she is the same
age as Julia," she wrote, "but she is
probably some years older; for as she
does not belong to Guernsey we have no
opportunity of knowing." I laughed
when I read that. "Your father admires
ber very mach," she added.
There waa not a word about Olivia.
Sark Itself was never mentioned, and it
might have sunk Into the sea. My eye
ram over every letter first with the hope
of catching that name, but I could not
find It This persistent silence on my
mother' part was very trying.
I bad been away from Guernsey two
months, and Jack was making arrange
ments for a long absence from London
as soon as the season was over, leaving
im charge, when I received the fol
lowing letter from Johanna Carey:
"Dear Martin Your father and Julia
have been bare this afternoon, and have
confided to me a very sad and very pain
ful secret which they ask me to break
gently to you. You must come home
again for a season. Even Julia wishes
it though she cannot stay in the same
house with you, and will go to her own
with her friend Kate Daltrey. Your
father cried like child. He takea it
more to heart than I should have expect
ed. Yet there is no immediate danger;
he may live for some months yet My
poor Martin, yon will hr mother only
few months longer. Three weeks ago

gent wish, to see your Olivia. I did not
then know why. She had a great longing
to see the unfortunate girl who had been
the cause of so much sorrow to us all,
but especially to her, for she has pined
sorely after you. We did not find her
in Tardif's house, but Suzanne directed
us to the little graveyard half a mile
away. We followed her there, and rec
ognized her, of course, at the first glance.
She Is a charming creature, that I allow,
though I wish none of us hnd ever seen
her. Your mother told her who she was,
and the sweetest flush and smile came
across her face! They ant down side by
aide on one of the graves, and I strolled
away, so I do not know what they said
to one another. Olivia walked down
with us to the Havre Gosselin, and your
mother held her in her arms and kissed
her tenderly. Even I could not help kiss
ing her.
"Now I understand why your mother
longed to see Olivia. She knew then-
she has known for mouths that her days
are numbered. When she was in London
last November she saw the most skillful
physicians, and they all agreed that her
disease was incurable and fatal. Why
did she conceal It from you? Ah, Mar
tin, you must know s woman's heart, a
mother's heart, before you can compre
hend that. Your father 'knew, but no
one else.
"Do not come before you have answer
ed this letter, that we may prepare her
for your return. Write by the next boat
and come by the one after. Julia will
have to move down to the new house,
and that will be excitement enough for
one day. Your faithful, loving cousin,
"JOHANNA CAREY."
I read this letter twice, with a singing
In my ears and a whirling of my brain,
before I could realize the meaning. Then
I refused to believe it. No one knows
better than a doctor how the most clever
head among us may be at fault. My
mother dying of an incurable disease!
Impossible! I would go over at once and
save her. She ought to have told me
first. Who could have attended hor so
skillfully and devotedly as her only son?
My mother bad consulted Dr. Senior
himself when she had been in London.
"KISSED HE It
He did not positively cut off all hope
from me, though I knew well he was
giving me encouragement in spite of his
own carefully formed opinion. He as
serted emphatically that it was possible
to alleviate her sufferings and prolong
her life, especially if her mind was kept
at rest. Tbt:? as not a question as to
the necessity for my immediate return
to her. But there was still a day for me
to tarry in London.
"Martin," suld Jack, "why have you
never followed up the clue about your
Olivia the advertisement, you know?
Shall we go to those folks In Gray's Inn
Road this afternoon?"
It had been in my mind all along to do
so, but the listless procrastination of
Idleness had caused me to put It off from
time to time. Besides, whilst I was ab
sent from the Channel Islands my curi
osity appeared to sleep. It was enough
to picture Olivia In her lowly home In
Sark. Now that I was returning to
Guernsey, and the opportunity was about
to slip by, I felt more anxious to seise it.
I would learn all I could about Olivia's
family and friends, without betraying
any part of her secret.
Of course there was not the smallest
difficulty in finding the office of Messrs.
Scott and Brown. There did not seem
much business going on, and our appear
ance was hailed with undisguised satis
faction. The solicitors were two infe
rior, common-looking men, but sharp
enough to be a match for either of us.
We both felt it, as if we had detected a
snake in the grass by Its rattle. I grew
wary by instinct, though I had not como
with any intention to tell them what I
knew of Olivia. My sole idea had been
to learn something myself, not to impart
any Information. But when 1 was face
to face with these men my business, and
the management of It, did not seem quite
so simple as it had done until then.
"Do you wish to consult my partner
or me?" asked the keenest looking man.
"I am Mr. Scott."
"Either will do," I answered. "My
business will be soon dispatched. Some
months ago you inserted an advertise
ment in the Times."
"To what purport?" Inquired Mr. Sott
"You offered fifty pounds reward," 1
replied, "for information concerning a
young lady."
A gleam of Intelligence and gratifica
tion flickered upon both their faces, but
quickly faded away into a sobor sod
blank gravity. Mr. Scott waited for me
to speak again, and bowed silently, as if
to intimate he was all attention.
"I came," I added, "to ask yon for the
name and address, of that young lady's
friends, as I should prefer communicat
ing directly with them, with a view to co
operation In the discovery of ber hiding
place. I need scarcely say I have no
wish to receive any reward. I entirely
waive any claim to that,, if yon will
oblige me by putting me into courfectioa
with the family."
"Have you no information you can im
part to ns?" asked Mr. Scott.
"NodV I answered decisively. "It Is
some months since I saw the advertise
ment and it must be nine months since
you put It into the Times. I believe it
is nine months since the young Udy was
missing.'
wmm it wj Ills
tek if iff I llf ftps
fet- lf it
"About that time," he said.
"Her friends must have suffered great
anxiety," I remarked.
"Very great indeed," he admitted.
"If I could rimder them any service
it would be a great pleasure to me," I
continued; "cannot you tell me whera to
find them?"
"We ore authorized to receive any In
formation," he replied. "You must al
low me to ask if you know anything
about the young lady in question?"
"My object is to combine with her
friends in seeking her,: I said evasively.
"I really cannot give you any informa
tion; but if you will put me into commu
nication with them, I may be useful to
them."
"Well," he said, with an air of candor,
"of course the young lady's friends ars
anxious to keep in the background. It
is not a pleasant circumstance to occur
In a family. Of course. If you could
give ns an ydefinite Information it would
be quite another thing. The young lady's
family is highly connected. Have you
seen any one answering to the descrip
tion?" "It is a very common one," I answered,
"I have seen scores of young ladies who
might auswer to it. I am surprised that
In London you could not trace her. Did
you apply to the police?"
"The police are blockheads," replied
Mr. Scott. "Will you be so good as to
see if there is any one in the outer office,
Mr. Brown, or on the stairs? I believe 1
heard a noise outside."
'Mr. Brown disappeared for a few min
ntes; but his absence did not Interrupt
the conversation. There was not much
to be made out of it on either side, for
we were only fencing with one another.
I learned nothing about Olivia's friends,
and I was satisfied be had learned noth
ing about her.
At last we parted with mutual dissat
isfaction; and I went moodily downtsairs,
followed by Jack. We drove back to
Brook street, to spend the few hours
that remained before tho train started
for Southampton.
"Doctor," said Simmons, as Jack paid
him his fare, with a small coin added to
it, "I'm half afeared I've done some mis
chief. I've been turning It over and over
in my head, and can't exactly see the
rights of it. A gent, with a pen behind
his car, comes down, at that ortice In
Oray's inn Road, and takes my number.
But after that he says a civil thing or
two. 'Fine young gents,' he says, point
ing np the staircase. 'Very much so,'
says I. 'Young doctors?' he says. 'You're
right,' I says. 'I guessed so,' he says;
'and pretty well np the tree, eh?' 'Ay,'
I says; 'the light-haired gent is son to
Dr. Senior, the great pheeseeciau; and
the other he comes from Guernsey, which"
is an island in the sea.' 'Just so,' he
says; 'I've heard as much.' I hope I've
done no mischief, doctor?''
TENDERLY."
"I hope not, Simmons," answered Jack;
"but your tongue haugs too loose, my
man. Look out for a squall on the Olivia
coast Martin," he added.
My anxiety would have been very great
it I had not been returning immediately
to Guernsey. But once there, and in
communication with Tardif, I could not
believe any danger would threaten Olivia
from which I could not protect or res.-us
her. She was of age, and had a right to
act for herself. With -two such friends
as Tardif and me, no one could force ber
away from ber chosen home.

WHEN JERSEY WAS HUNGRY.
One rerlo i During Which the People
Could Not Cet Knongh to Eat
There Is on record In the annals of the
State of New Jersey a season when
the people actually suffered for want of
food. It was In the autumn of 1(JS7,
Then the failure of crops caused a
famine that prevailed all over the State
and aflllcted the people of central and
southern New Jersey sorely. They
were driven to eating roots and nuts.
The Indians were disposed to be kindly
to the people and gave ibein much as
sistance and taught them bow to make
the best of the natural resources of the
country. They showed them how to
gather and prepare the oysters and the
clams and make the strange potpourri
that this generation knows as clam
chowder. They taught them the plank
ing of all kinds of fish (shad were not
then obtainable). The Indians were
short of maize and In the same predica
ment, but they being native to the for
est were more resourceful. Conditions
were better In the upper part of the
State, because there was more direct
trading.
There are no records to show that
anybody actually perished, during the
period of the famine. The tacts of the
terrible condition In the Jersey colony
reached the sympathetic pilgrims and
puritans, and early In the spring. Just
as many, worn by the hardships of
winter, were despairing, a ship load of
cereals and preserved meats came np
the Delaware River, and Its cargo was
generously distributed. A general
thanksgiving followed. The crops of
the following summer wore unusually
good, and It was never recorded again
In history that New Jersey had gon
hungry.

Harvested While You Wait. '
The department of agriculture at
Washington has issued a report of
the general agricultural conditions in
the Pacific coast region. It says
that although the tendency for the
last twenty-five years has been to
ward a gradual reduction of tho
area of Individual farms and ranches,
they are still of a size much larger
than the average farm of the East,
or even of the Middle West. This Is
pwiticularly true In California.
Transportation of the enormous
quantity of Pacific coast wheat has
been reduced to a science. A large
saving Is made by loading ships di
rectly from the cars, trains being run

CORDIALITY OVERDONE.
Lady's Poor Memory Led Her Into a
Peculiar Position.
Whoever bas a short memory for
names and faces will be able to appre
ciate the experience of a resident of
Detroit, whose story Is told by the Free
Press of that city. The lady's friends,
who reccgulze her Inability to fit names
and faces together, say that she usually
makes up iu tact what sbe lacks In
memory.
One afternoon recently, says the lady,
who tells her own experience, I was
sitting on the veranda when a rather
nice-looking young man, carrying a
small satchel, came up the walk. He
bowed pleasantly, and I returned his
greeting as cordially as I could, while
racking my brain for bis name.
He looked familiar, but I could not
recall his name. Here was an old
friend from out of town, probably
perhaps a relative of ray husband and
I must not fall In cordiality. So I greet
ed him warmly, shook bands, and In
vited him to be seated. I said I was
delighted to see him, and knew my
family would be equally glad. I regret
ted that so long a time bad elapsed
since we had last met. I hoped his fam
ily was quite well, and of course he had
come to dinner. ,
Thus I rattled on, fearing to let him
discover what a hypocrite I was, and
hoping all the while that his nnme
would come to me. Finally he managed
to say:
"I'm afraid you don't know who I
am."
"Oh, yes, I do," I responded. "Of
course I know perfectly."
"No, I am sure you don't even know
my name."
"Well," I admitted, "your name has
escaped me for the moment; but I am
so. wretched on names! Dou't tell me;
I shall recall It In time."
"Do not try," responded the young
mnn, pleasantly. "I am only the sewing
machine mnn. I came to repair your
machine."
Take Out Jocko's Brain:
No convincing proof has yet been
given thnt any particular portion of the
brain Is exclusively coucerned In intel
lectual operations. Goltz, the most
prominent representative of the dwin
dling band who still refuse to believe
In the localization even of the motor
functions, has lately published an Inter
esting paper containing tbe results of
observations on a monkey, which was
carefully watched for eleven years
after the removal of the greater part
of tbe gray matter of the middle and
interior portions of the left hemisphere
of the brain. Tbe character of the ani
mal, whose little tricks and peculiari
ties had been studied for months before
the operation, was entirely unaffected.
All Its traits remained unaltered. On
the other band, disturbances of move
ment on the right side were very notice
able up to the time of Its death. It
learned agnin to use the right limbs,
but there was always a certain clumsi
ness In their movements. In actions re
quiring only one hand the right was
never willingly employed, and It evi
dently cost the animal a great effort to
use It Before the operation It would
give either tbe right or left band when
asked for It After the operation It al
ways gave the left till by a long course
of training, In which fruit or lumps of
sugar served as the rewards of virtue.
It learned again to give the right Pop

Walker Gave the Horse Away.
"J. Brlsben Walker has one of the
most adventurous nntures of any man
of Importance I know," said Harvey
Wells, of Denver, who Is at the Savoy.
"When Walker was remaking a mile
or so of river front In Denver that he
later turned Into a fine park a sudden
rise of the Platte washed away a lot of
things. Including the ground from un
der a stable on the Improvement Walk
er was making. When Walker came
on the scene to look over the damage
done a horse that had been In the stable
was half submerged and In danger of
being smothered In tbe quicksand and
rolling mud that tbe . angry waters
made of the half-prepared new ground.
Walker asked several men to go and
help the horse. When they refused he
started laying planks along the treach
erous ground, Just as they do to get
drowning persons from out an Icy river.
In a short time he was In a position
where a false step meant an even
chance for life or death. He got both
the horse and himself out of the scrape.
Then he turned around and discharged
every man on tbe Job, and wound up
by giving the horse away." New- York
Times.
Gets Huge Moose Horns. .
Hunters of the moose have encoun
tered old fellows with enormous spread
of horns, and some of these have been
preserved as trophies of the chase. An
Indian hunter of the Hudson Bay Com
pany bas slain tbe monarch of all
moose. Its masslvs antlers, having a
spread of six feet two Inches, large
enough to take In tbe figure of an out
stretched man, now adorn the dining
ball of the country bouse of Mr. Olcntt
a New Yorker, at Bernardsville. The
moose was shot last season at the head
of the Copper River region In Alaska,
some 800 miles above Cook's Inlet,
whence It wss afterward brought on
a dog sledge. It was then shipped to
a Chicago furrier, who bad the head
mounted.
The Scholar and His Mattress.
A famous scholar, whose hobby was

to store his furniture while proceeding

replied: "Dear Sir: My mattress may,
as you ssy, have bad motb In it, but I
am confident that It had an V In It
also."
