Listen. Suzanne. The time has come when

through all my nature to have to tell you
this. it must be told, and it will be an
other punishment added to those L have
already borne. Do you remember all the IN

"Alas. father
"That which condemned me more than all
was that the money had paid the dead man
was found in my possession, and Will tell
you about that"
And then Roger began at the beginning
and told the 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 wac indeed an innocent man, victim of
some foul plot.
"Oh, father, pardon me-" she cried, as she
knelt beside him, and she covered his hands
with pentential kisses and tears.
II forgive you freely. my child. You could
not have known"
"But, father some one was gullty-some
one who looked like you, was dressed like you,
whom and mother saw. Who can he be?"
"That is where the mystery begins, my dear.
There is a guilty one, and my presence in
France is for the sole purpose OF discovering
him. I feel that shall not die until l have
discovered the murderer of Larouette l 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 that unfortunate counle so happy, for
now there were no more ladows 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 more 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 die; besides he had something to say
to her which he hoped might lift the dark
pail which had fallen over their young lives.

Vanderbilt's Pet Tr0tter.

eyes, gentlemen, Small Hopes, Van
derbilt's ten thousand dollar trotter, is
now hauling an express wagon in New
York, and it's a shame. He was the
greatest ringer on the American turf,
and made fortunes for more than one
man. | ought to know, for l was his
rubber"
There were q number of gentlemen in
the reading room of the Leland hotel
and they are all admirers of the trotter.
A discussion arose about Vanderbilt's
and Bonners possessions of horsehesh,
when the rubber" or groom of Small
Hopes opened their eyes about the horse
whose name was on the lips of members
of every trotting association in America
fourteen years ago. After a successful
career of five years the clique who ham
died him were detected in Boston, and,
after considerable trouble had been ex-
perienced, the greatest turf scandal of
modern times was exposed.
The horse was forever barred at the
meeting of the national turf congress,
and his driver, Bill McGuigan, was also
barred from ever driving trotting horse
for purse or stake over an Association
course. After much litigation the ia
nous horse was sold to Vanderbilt. With
Lady Mac he annihilated all team records,
and in his old age is compelled to draw
an express wagon. He was bought by
his present owner for $64.
HE must be about 10 years old now
said the former groom, who is now in
the real estate business, 'but when he
was years old he trotted many mile
in 2:15. He was the cleanest trotter that
ever looked through blinkers; no boots,
braces, check reins or any modern trot-
ting paraphernalia for him. And when
it came to heats he was the greatest
slayer | ever heard of."-Chicago Jour-

A Blind .NeniuS.


Vidal, the i'renC:l sculptor, is one
of the wonders of the French capital.
He has been blind since his 21st year.
We can quite easily understand how
a blind farmer would cultivate the
ground with the pillow, spade and hoe
how he would feel around the tender
plants and gently loosen the dirt from
the roOts-Or how the blind Birming-
ham )Ala.) miner tells, with the sense
of touch alone, the direction and to
what depth to drill his holes before
putting in a blast; but the work of
Vidal stands out in bold relief, unique,
wonderful and incompatible. To be
a sculptor it is generally supposed that
one must have the ''mechanic'S eye"
and the artists taste and persplcuity.
The latter's faculties Vidal has to an
exceptional degree-even more acute:
he believes, than if the former were
not lost to him forever.
By slowly passing his hands over
an object he notes its external proper
tons and initiates them in clay in a
manner which strikes the beholder
dumb with surprise. A dog, horse,
human face, or anything alive or dead,
he models with as much ease as any
of the dozens Of Partisan sculptors
who still retain the faculty of sight.
From 1855 to 1875 Vidal received
more medals than any other exhibitor
of works in the Paris art exhibitions.
Many of his works, made in the soil
tude of his perpetual midnight, are
now on the shelves at the great expo
sition, where the blind wonder con
tends in friendly rivalry with his less
unfortunate brother artists. He never
complains, is always genial and festive
when among his friends, who always
speak of and to him as though he
could see, and we'll may they do so,
for he is one Of the best art critics in all

An Amusing Trick.

Take a piece of thick brown paper about a
foot square and heat it at the fire. When
hot, place it on the table and rub it with a
clothes brush for about half minute. Then
hold the brown paper over some small light
bodies-little pieces Of blotting paper will do
and the light bodies will jump about in a
most excited manner. If the brown paper be
held over somebody's head, several hairs will
Immediately stand on their ends, greatly to
the amusement of the spectators.

Where the Eunalo Tnrives.

After the lamcntabie experience OF
this country, it is interesting to know
that there is part Of the world where
the buffalo is not only not dying out,
but increasing in numbers. Vast
herds of these animals are now run
ming wild over certain districts of
northern Australia. The animal is
said to he massive and we'll grown,
with splendid horns. The first buffa-
Ices were landed at Port Essington,
North Australia, about the year 1929.
