0 BURGLaRlZED.

The Dakota House Visited by Thieves
and a ssmal. sum of Money
Secured.
Joseph IL. Bader's Dakota house. on
Broadway, was msrauded by burglars
last night and s3S In money taken from
Its occupants. Entrance was effected
through q rear door opening into q stair
way leading to the second floor. In the
several rooms we're sleeping Will Bader,
Mr.. Rslch and his son OF Scotland, Ja-
cob Meth, and in a rear room q servant
girl. Entrance was effected to all these
apartments excepting the one %ocsupiedby
Mr.. Meth. In the girls room nothing was
obtained. In the room occupied by the
two Raichs $26 In money was secured,
while Will Bader's p%antaloons yielded
up $12 in currency. One of the Raicha
placed lis pocket book containing his
wealth under his pillow. This was
carried off. The other Raich had about
$50 in money and a watch in his vest
and pantaloons, which were lying around
ia a careless way and we're overlooked
by the burglars. In the girls room
there was evidence that the promises
had been thoroughly ransacked. Through
OUT all these proceedings the Bader
family and their guests slept soundly
and nothing was known of the transac.
ton until morning. About two o'clock
IN the morning Mr.. Bader thought he
heard some n close q door, but if he
had it would have attracted no attention,
as boarders are in the habit OF coming
aud going at pleasure. ALI the rooms
entered were locked before the occupants
retired and this morning the keys were
in the doors, indicating that they had
been turned from the outside. About 0
year ago the Dakota house was bur-
glarized and following that event severa'
other burglaries occurred.

The ORIGIN OF PETROLEUM.
Professor Mefdeloefn supports the
theory that petroleum is of mineral
origin, and that its production is
going on and may continue almost
indefinitely. He has succeeded in
making it artificially by similar
process to that which he believes is
going on in the earth, and experts
finds it impossible to distinguish be-
tween the natural and the manu-
featured article. His hypothesis is
that water finds its way below the
crust of the earth and then melts
with carbides of metals, particularly
of iron, in a glowing state. The
water is decomposed into its constit-
uent gases; the oxygen unites with
the iron, while the hydrogen takes
up the carbon, and ascends to high
er region where part of it is condens-
ed into mineral oil, and part re-
mains as natural gas, to escape where
it cali find an outlet, or to remain
at great pressure until borehole is
put down to provide it passage to
the surface. Oil-bearing strata oc-
ours in the vicinity of mountain
ranges, and its supposed that the up
heaval of the hills has dislocated the
strata below sufficiently to give the
water access to depths from which it
is ordinarily shut out. If the centre
of the earth contains large amounts
of metallic carbides, we have in pros
pect store Of fuel against the days
when our coal will be eXhausted.--

CHAPTER XII.

S4A<24 4I1s <AA4.
From that time OH Suzanne seldom went
out on horseback or in her phaeton that she
did not meet Raymond, as if by accident, but
they did no more than speak, but after he had
seen her he returned to the farm with heart
elate.
Both brothers had fallen victims to Su-
zanne's bright and rare beauty and noble
character, but they made no confidence of
their feelings to each other. The brothers
even seemed to avoid each other; each sought
solitude and each thought his secret hidden
from all eyes. But Pierre had to look after
the farm and command the laborers, SO that
he had small chance of meeting the object of
his dreams, while Raymond would take his
gun for countenance and linger about places
where he hoped she might pass.
In France no visits are permitted to young
men at the house of any young lady, unless
after formal engagement of marriage, and
then only under such conditions as must be
very exasperating to both; SO neither Pierre
nor Raymond could 60 to see Suzanne at her
home, not even accompanied by their mother.
The'image of the two brothers had GER
tainly taken little place in the existence of
Suzanne in spite of herself. Before she knew
them her thoughts were bounded by her
home, her art and her father. She knew
that she was pretty and that men admired
her, but she had always shrunk from any ex-
pressed admiration with q horror unfeigned.
Marriage was not for her. Two or three
times before this her hand had been asked of
her father, but when he referred the question
to her she refused so determinedly that he
was fain to decline, particularly, as she said:
AT L. tp 1ora
anybody but you as long as live"
He thought to himself: "Some day she
will change her mind and shall be forgot
ten. Let her belong to Inc, then, as long as
she is content"
But now Suzanne let her horse walk along
the shady paths where the rich branches
hung heavy with sparkling dewdrops, and she
whispered:
II wonder if I shall see him today" And
when she saw him coming along, his gun
swung over his shoulder, she felt like flying
from the spot, but he looked SO anxious, so
sad, and then when he saw her so glad, that
she did not 60 Then they approached and
said good morning, with very few and simple
words more, and each went along their differ
ent paths, both happier for the meeting.
One day Suzanne was seated i'll a messy
dell i'll one part of their park with her port
folio and colors, trying to catch the SUN
beams and make them shine through her
painted trees, but it was warm and the
drowsy sound of the little brook ut her feet
made her sleepy, and resting her head upon
moss covered root she fell asleep, nor woke
until she felt u soft, sweet and chaste kiss
fall upon her forehead. With a strange
prescience she knew whose iipS had pressed it
there, and she, from pure maidcnly shame

CHAPTER XIV.

These two poor children stood side by side
In the greenhouse, dumb with sorrow, almost
incapable of thought, as though their hearts
were scorched by lightning. For poor
Suzanne to be obliged to tell this fearful tale.
which she had buried SO deep in her young
heart that her father had not discovered it in
ten long years, was almost like living it over
again in reality. She had said truly she
was doomed to lonely, loveless life. And
she loved Raymond with deep and abiding
passion, but q hopeless one.
Raymond had thought nothing could aug
ment lis love for Suzanne before, but now
this revelation showed him her noble charac-
ter, and. his love centupled, mingled with
respect so profound that it bordered upon
veneration, and deep compassion filled his
soul for the sufferings this young girl had
80 wortliiy borne.
"Now," said she, "you know oil. Let us
say one last adieu."
"Adicu! No! A thousand times no. My
life belongs to you now, more than ever. I
shall liyc to suffer with and for you"
>~TOt >~TOt. feNymond, we must say goodby; l
prefer to feel myself alone to suffer and to re-
member Leave me to my solitude and sor-
row."
But lie answered: "Iprefcr to love you and
shall always do So"
Then they said goodby, sadly and sorrow
fully, without more than hand clasp and
lingering look.
He rushed out into the forest, where he
wandered about, not knowing or caring
where, and not returning to his home until
late at night.
Suzanne sat weeping for WHILE and then
gathered up her strength to try and reach
her own room. As she passed large plant
which stood between her and the door lead
ing to the house she found her father lying
unconscious OH the floor, not ten feet from
where she had stood with Raymond, and lie
had heard all!
She threw herself Oh her knees beside him
and kissed him wildly. She called for assistance
while feeling his chest to discover if his heart
beat. 1t did, but fecbly. and she called him
by cndearing names. She opened window
to give him air. Servants came and they did
everything they could to restore him, but it
was one long hour before he revived.

"Alas, father"-
"That which condemned me more than all
was that the money had paid tho dead man

And then Roger began at tho beginning
and told tho whole story until the end, though
as he told her about the woman who had
brought the money, he blushed painfully with
shame.
She blushed, too, but believed every word
Of that unhappy story, and felt that her
father was indeed an innocent man, victim OF
somc foul plot.
"Oh, father, pardon me, "'she cried, rs she
knelt beside him, and she covered his hands
with penitential kisses and tears.

France is for tho solo purpose of discovering
him. I feel that shall not die until I have
discovered the murderer of Larouette. 1 live
in the hope Of having my sentence reversed
by law and my good name restored"
During more than week Roger lay sick
and Suzanne remained by his side, and never
were thut unfortunate couple so happy, for
now there were no more shadows between
them and they could talk upon the subject
which engrossed both their minds. Raymond
had tried in vain to meet Suzanne, but as she
went out no moro he naturally could not see
her, and at last, one Sunday, he could bear
the suspense no longer. He must see her, he
felt, or Gle; besides he had something to say
to her which ho hoped might lift the dark
pail which had fallen over their young lives.

THE-iPURCHAsE OF OREGON
The entire region west Of the Rocky
Mountains,' '.-extending north !: from
Mexico to the British possessions,
and bounded..' on the east by the
Louisiana purchase, was long known
AS Oregon. 1t was ceded to the
United States by Spain in 1919, a
clause in the treaty ceding Florida,
relinquishing all her "rights, claims
and pretensions" to such territory.
The dispute between the United
States and Great Britain concerning

should walk IN the garden, down through the
avenue of chestnut trees. Suzanne and the
two young men walked on trife in advance
of the parents, and they both began to talk
of their children, and Roger soon OWNED that
Julia loved Raymond with tender, more
absorbing love than she gave to her eldest
born. Pierre knew this, and though it sad
dened him somewhat, he had too noble a
character to resent it or feel jealous. Ray
mond did not know there was difference,
and he almost idolized his brother.
Soon after father and daughter took their
departure Julia watched her two SONS as the
visitors drove away, and both gave q heavy
sigh as the carriage disappeared, and both ap-
peared cast down and melancholy. "Are they
both smitten with the beauty and grace OF
this young girla If So, woe is me-"

will tell you something which you have n

I even think love you truer than you do
me-" This was said in deep, low voice, and

wisbed-seize those two little hands and
cover them with kisses. Suzanne seemed to
gather her strength for one last effort.
