CHAPTER vI.-TIIE sADDEsr OF ALL WORDS
On the tenth morning, dating from
the dispatch of Father Benwell's last
letter to Rome, Penrose was writing in
the study at Ten Acres Lodge-while
Romayne sat at the other end of the
room looking listlessly at blank sheet
of paper, with the pen lying idle beside
it. On sudden he rose, and snatching
up paper and pen threw them irritably
into the fire.
"Don't trouble yourself to write any
longer" he said to Penrose. "My
dream is over. Throw my manuscripts
into the waste-paper basket, and ncyor
speak to me of literary work again"
"Every man devoted to literature has
these fits of dependency" Penrose
added. "Don't think of your work.
Send for your horse, and trust to fresh
air and exercise to relieve your mind
Romayne barely listened. He turned
round at the fireplace and studied the
reflection of his face in the glass.
81 look worse and WORSE" he said,
thoughtiully, to himself
1t was true. His Aeh had fallrn
away; his face had withered and whit,
ened; he stopped like an old man.
The change for the worse had bocH
steadily proceeding from the time when
he left Vange Abbey.
"It's useless to conceal it from me y
he burst out, turning toward Penrose.
81 am in some way answerable though
you all deny it-for the French boys
death. Why not? His voice is still il
my ears-and the stain of his brother
blood is on me. l am under spell
Do you believe in the witches-the
merciless old women who made w4x i'm
and stuck pins in their mock likenesses,
to register the slow wasting away OF
their victims day after day? People
disbelieve it in these times; but it has
never been disproved." He stopped,
looked at Penrose, and suddenly
changed his tone. "Arthurl what is
the matter with you? Have you had a
bad night? Has anything happened? ??

CHAPTER vu.-ruE 1,Ipu1sIvE SEN.

CHAPTER vGT.--THE INIPULSIvE SEN,
After i lapse of few days Father
Benwell was again visitor at Ten
Acres Lodge-by Romayne's invitation.
The priest occupied the very chair by
the study freside in which Pencose had
been accustomed to sit.
1t is really kind Of you to come to
me, said nomayne, $50 soon after re.
ceiving my acknowledgment OF your
letter. l can't tell you how l was
touched by the manner in which you
wrote of Ponrose. To my shame, con-
fes- it, had no idea that you were 50
warmly attached to him."
Il scarcely knew it myself, Mr.. Ro.
mayne, until cur dear Arthur was taken
away from u.s."
"If you used your influence, Father
Benwell, is their no hope that you
might yet persuade him ="
"Io withdraw from the mission Oh,
Mr.. Romayne, don't you know Arthur's
character better than that? Even his
gentle temper has it's resolute side
The zeal of the first martyrs to Chris.
tianty is the zeal that burns in that
noble nature. The mission has been the
dream Of his life; it is endeared to him
by the very dangers which we dread
Persuade Arthur to desert the dear and
devoted colleagues who have opened
their arms to him? L might as soon
persuade that statue in the garden to
desert its pedestal and join us in this
room. Shall we change the sad subject !?
Have you received the book which |
sent you with my letter."

Yesterday Father Benwell called at
Ten Acres Lodge. He first saw my
mother and myself, and he contrived to
mention your name. 1t was done with
his usual adroitness, and | might per
haps have passed it over, if he had not
looked at me. | hope and pray it may
be only my fancy, but l thought l saw
in his eyes that he was conscious of
having me in his power, and that he
might betray me to my husband al any
moment.
81 have no sort of claim on you.
Aud heaven knows ! have little reason
to trust you. But | thought you meant
fairly by me when We spoke together at
this house. In that belief l entreat
you to tell me if Father Benwoll has
intruded into your confidence. or even
if you have limited anything to him
which gives him hold over me-"
From Mr.. JFini9feld to Mrs. Romdyne.
"Both your letters have reached me.

that you are entirely mistaken in your
estimate of Father Benwelrs character.

you hold your opinions when they are

you of all anxiety, so far as I am con
cerned. | have not said one world

which could inform Father Benwell

your letter alludes. Yopr secret is a

The water Famine i'm New York.
Many householders in New York on
Monday found that the water famine wss
= reality and not a mere subterfuge Of the
Water Commissioners TO scare the people
into economy. There was no water in
their bath rooms, stationary wasbstands,
and nowhere except in the Easements, for
the outflow in the reservoirs had been di-
minished twelve million gallons by lower
ing the gates one-half iEch, and all the
higher parts Of the city suffered. The
storage lakes in Central Pork show how
short the supplY is. The smaller lake is
nearly empty, and the larger lake is three
feet lower than the ordinary height of the
water. The Commissioners complain that
the public pay no heed to the warn
ings and waste the water rs lavishly as
ever. The present supply, il is estimated.
will last seventeen days longer by hus-
banding the supply until there is a plenti-
full rainfall. The scarcity has put come
of the newspaper publishers to i~nccnve-

to run the engine working their presses
Nearly all the newspaper offices and indus

company, and if tAeir water supply gets
much lower many thousand people would
be thrown out of employment, and some
Of the newspapers would have to suspend
publication. The health Of the city is in
a sad condition, growing out of tho scare
ity of water. During the three months
ending with September, the deaths from
zymotic diseases were 1907, while during
the same period last year the total was
1872. The deaths from small pox in

Another Twcnty-uiIe Race he

stake.
Sodalia (Mfo.) Dispatch to the ST. Louis
Republican.
The third race between Miss Cricket
Still Of BelOit, Kansas, and Miss Nellie
Archer Of this county was run at Archers
Park in this city Wednesday afternoon in
the presence Of nearly 1900 spectators.
The race WAS for 50, 500, and as Miss
Archer had twice defeated Hiss StiI, not
a little interest was manifested In the re-
suit. Miss Still came here several DAYS
ago with six thoroughbred horses, all
with frst-class records, while Miss Arch.
er's managers wore disappointed IN pro
curing the horses they counted upon. and
were compelled to4nake the rGcc in bad
shape. The track was in bad condition
owing TO recent heavy rains, and al one
time il was deemed advisable 10 make IL a
ten instead Of q twenty-mile contest. The
race bad been thoroughly advertised, how
ever, as certain TO he twenty miles, and
il was deemed to be inadvisable 10 make
any change as the large Gro Ud 10 atten-
dance would hsYc been greatly disap-
pointed,
AT 8 few minutes before 4 o'clock both
of the riders appeared upon the track,
aud a little later the word go was given.
Miss Still had "a little the best OF the start
aud she gradually increased her lead until
she was q half mile ahead on the eeYenth
mile. She then mounted a swift animal,
which che rode two miles, and e~ndeayored
TO change. The horse refused 20 stop,
however, and an additional heat around
the half mile circle was ridden. Again
she tried TO make a change with the same
result as before. AS the animal was run
ming away and could not be got under
control, she rode within a few yards of
another half mile, or ten in all, when il
was noticed she was ~endeavoring to run
the horse into the fence II was evident
she was in q f%ainting condition, and the
stoed was finally brought to a stand. still.
Miss Still was assisted TO the ground,
when he partially swooncd, and was un-
able TO resume the race. Great sympathy
was expressed for her, and she has made
many fricucs here.
Miss Archer continued her ride, taking
it leisurely, and finished the twenty miles
in 500 minutes. The first ten miles were
ridden in 22l minutes.
Miss Still is a plucky little rider, only
10 years old, but she has not the power OF
endurance for a twenty mile race; while
Miss Archer has ridden that number OF
miles on three occasions, aud has never
exhibited the least showing OF ILLNESS and
very little fatigue. The hackers Of the
Kansas girl lost heavily as they knew sh
had the best horses and felt ccltain 8 {
would win.

PauIJonos' ola starry flag.

The London Telegraph recently
published the following letter ia re-

ard Stafford, Of Prince George
county, Mi which was exhibited at
the Yorktown celebration, and rev
e%rsntiy kissed by several Of the
French guests:
Sir: Having read your article to-
day on the flag which once belonged
to Paul Jones, | venture to ask your
permission to tell my story at rather
greater length than | have hitherto
done should begin by saying that
my Information is derived lrom Mr..
Samuel Bayard Stafford, the present
owner OF the flag in question, and
rom some extracts from American
newspapers. The facts are as fol-
Iowa; When the War Of Independ-
ence broke out, Mr.. Samuel Stafford 6
father, at the time In business at New
York, joined q small cruiser that was
htted out by Capt. Philip Stafford,
This cruiser, after inlicting some
damage on the British Indian trade.

and tAe crew put in irons. They
were, however, set free and their
. Up retaken by Pau Jones, about ten
days before his action with the Ser
aphis. In gratitude for their deliv-
erance, the crew volunteered and
served under him in the engagement
between the Serapbis and the Bon
Homme Richard, in the course OF
which the flag was shot away from
the masthead OF the latter vessel.
Mr.. Stafford lesped into the sea af-
ter 1t, recovered it and replaced it.
being severely wounded while per
forming this action. The flag which
10 had thus saved was afterwards
presented to him by the committee
Of Congress, and remained in his po
session till his death, in 1888. 1t
now belongs to his son. This ac.
count will show that while you are
correct ia saying the Bon Homme
Richard was never boarded, and that
Mr.. Stafford Was not one Of the crew
oil that ship, 1t is, nevertheless. the
fact that, as a volunteer, that gen
tieman did ave the flag in question,
which | maintain to be a genuine
