was left on the spirits of both men by that
message from the dead.
Itappeared to Doggett that tremendous
responsibility rested on his shoulders.
should he speak or be silent? 1t lay within
his power to enforce obedience to the deao
woman's commands. The diary that be had
taken away, without Philippe's knowiedge,
contained the clue without which Philippe
would seek to unravel the mystery In Valn'
He had but to keep up the deception by re.
stoFing the three volumes that would whet
Philippe's curiosity, and withhold the
fourth volume that could alone satisfy 1t,
and Madame Jaquet's dying wishes would
be observed.
Never had he been placed in situation
so perplexine. He was filed with bitter re-
pret that he had arrested Philippe's move
meut at the commencement of the search,
when he wished to open his mothers letter.
Had the young man been allowed TO take
the course that nature and affecton
prompted, he might have been induced 10
abandon the quest, lest its pursuit should
lay him open to the temptation to disregard
the wishes of the dead, and Doggett would
fronted him. Was it possible now, at the
eleventh hour, to persuade him to adopt
this plan? It was worth making the al
tempt the detective thought, and after
long silenceahe spoke.
"Your mothers wishes-commands,
rather, ought to say-will be respected, OF
course?"
"Why do you ask9" said Philippe, eye
ing the detective keenly.
"Perhaps you will hear my views" SAID
Doggett difidently, noticing in the haggard
expression that began to steal over Philippes
face the sign-manual of keen mental
struggle. IF that letter had been written
to me. 1 should draw the conclusion that
the vision of which my mother wrote was
what the Scotch people call second sight.
It is said that it is given to those who are
about to die to obtain glimpse into futuri-
ty. 1t was given to her, and though In her
waking moments she did not believe that
her husband was not all that was good and
true, she saw you believing differently and
seeking out your father to avenge her.
"Welll" cried Philippe suspiciously, as
tie detective paused.
sI would trust the vision, and keep faith
/ with the dead By abandoning the search.
"I see," exclaimed Philippe, "you know
something which you are keeping back. -,
''Keep to the letter" responded Doggett

was now living was contrary both to his
mothers teaching--who had ever held be-
fore him high moral ideal-and the whole
habits OF his life. he felt that it was not
impossible that the entire bent of his
character might receive a new direction, If
the CHASTITY suspicious, which he perceived
clearly were in Doggett's mind, came to be
confirmed. His disposition wes like his
mothers in ahectionateness and truthful
ness; though, being q man, he was not so
predisposed as his mother had been, to en-
dure wrong patiently; still less so when the
wrong had been aimed at that precious life.
He found himself vowing the most undying
hate, and gIrding his mind to the most i'm
placable vengeance on the man who had
wrecked her happiness, If such guilt were
traced home to him.
But as he made search among his mothers
papers, and discovered many indications of
the fond affection that she had borne to her
husband, and her absolute faith in him,
which their long-continued separation did
nothing to disturb, he felt his wrath re-
buked. Could this man, he asked, so pas
sionately loved, so implicitly trusted, by
one of the noblest and purest Of her sex, be
the wretch of his suspicious fancies? It
seemed so incredible that he began to find
mournful pleasure in weaving ianciful pic
lures of his father that would correspond
with his mothers ideal, and which, if they
served no other purpose, assisted to relieve
the mental strain that was upon him. Images
of masculine strength and devotion, of pa
triotic self-sacrlfce and suffering were chas-
ing each other through his brain, when
later in the evening Mr.. Doggett arrived
and was shown into the room.
Philippe greeted the detective heartily.
Now this long suspense is ended" he
cried. "You have discovered something"
Don't be too sanguine," replied the de-
tective.
4 will round unvarnish'd tale de-
liver, but again repeat, don't be too san
guine. First thing, however, you may open
your mothers letter.
Philippe went to the cabinet and drew
forth the letter with trembling hands.
He was strongly moved, and 1t was with
eyes blinded with tears that he read the last
message from the dead. Such words are
almost sscramental. After he had mastered
its contents, he spoke slowly, and only with
a manifest effort contrlving to control his
emotion
81 do notsee that it will assist our inquiry
much, " he said; ''but you shall hear. 1t is

room an exceeding bitter cry-a cry of heart
broken sorrow and of batfled vengeance.

outright, although the task assigned to him

L
the story too long"
"What an out and out villain the chap
isl" was Doggett's mental exclamation.
Philippe took the bag that Doggett had
brought with him, and drawing forth the
documents, he selected the certificate of his
mothers marriage and his own birth, and
spread them out on the table.
'You need not say whether you recognize
them or not, he began. my business is
not to ask questions, but to convince you
that everything is known and can be
proved"
DR.. Jaquet scrutinized the documents
with care and-collapsedl
He knew that the game of indifference
and well-acted ignorance was over, and
from this moment Philippe had the man
agement of the interview in his own hands.
The natural pallor OF DR.. Jaquet's counten-
ance deepened by several shades, and thick
drops OF persplration collected on his brow.
One BY one Philippe placed each article of
evidence, including extracts from his moth
er's diary, before him, and formidable
body Of praof it grew under his hands.
'Into the question of my mothers death,
he said, after he had broken down the guilty
mans last line of defense, ~ do not care
to enter. Whether go further into that
question, beyond accusing you of her muir
der-which do explicitly-depends upon
your compliance with my conditions"

crestfallen. As he made no reply, and re-
NAMED buried in thought, it is doubtful II

"Shall state the terms on which nv for

pause.

asserting gesture.

legal proceedings are concerned, If the only
justice possible now is done to my mothers

place must taste the sorrow she has inflicted.

Fresh TROUBLE WITH CHINA AND WITH I,

FRESH TROUBLE WITH CHINA AND WITH
CANADA.-During the whole of President
Cleveland's term the republican members
of the Senate, in the hope of gaining some
party advantage, have been trying in
most unpatriotic spirit to defeat every i'm
portant act of his administration, without
regard for the public interest. This was
strikingly illustrated in the rejection of the
Canadian fisheries treaty, which secured to
our people important advantages, and in
the modification of the Chinese exclusion
treaty in such manner as to cause the
Chinese government to refuse to ratify it
though that government had cheerfully rat
flied it in the form given to it by MIR. Bayard.
1t was decided, very foolishly, not to allow
democratic administration the credit OF
achieving any important public service.
This blunder is now, il appears. about to
result in trouble for the next administra-
ton, which happens not to be democratic.
Canada, as our representative at Washing
ton states in to-day's Sun, has decided to
issue no more licenses TO the New England
fishermen, under the modus vivendi secured
by Mr.. Bayard, pending the ratification of
the Canadian fisheries treaty, but to revert
TO the treaty of 1918. with all its narrow
restrictions. This is within Canada's right,
of course, and the New England ship own
ers have Mr.. Edmunds and their own greed
to thank for the losses they may incur un-
der the treaty of 1918. The Pekin govern
ment, too, is complaining, it appears, ofour
violation of treaty rights, and promises to
give the Harrison administration cause to
regret the folly of republican Senators.
Evil birds come home to roost, in politics
as in other spheres of maleicent activity.

Too LATE Now TO EXCLUDE Mr..
BLAINE.-When the President elect, after
being racked by conflicting "pressures"
aud ''claims," has at length made up his
mind that. whatever else may be done, Mr..
Blaine shall be enrolled as member of his
cabinet, it is crying pity that he should
be nevertheless importuned through show
ers of kilograms and letters to undo his
work and to relegate to obscurity this
ablest exponent of the "American policy"
of high taxes. No sooner was it known
that Mr.. Blaine was definitely settled upon
for Secretary of State than hundreds of
protests, according to the New York Times,
began to pour in upon Geu. Harrisnu.-
Some were in courteous form, aud others
we're more emphatic than courteous, but all
had the one burden, namely, thai multi
tudes of republicans, whose support had
made Mr.. Harrison's nomination and
election possible, we're offended at the
choice of MIR. Blaine for the highest post in
the new republican administration. Active
measures, the Times's correspondent is
informed, are about 10 be taken by linen
of character and standing" to induce the
President-elect to change his mind. The
task is evidently hopeless one, and 1t is,
moreover, decidedly unreasonable. Should
Wanamaker stick and Blaine go out! The
idea could not occur to any one but half
hearted mugwump, whose soul recoils
from ancient wropg-doing of the Mulligan
letters period, but takes kindly to the
Philadelphiau's furnishing 100000 to
secure modern 'tfloaters in blocks of five."
