CHAPTER VII.

Another fruitless search. Days of anxiety passed only to prove in the end that the new clew was false one. The amateur detectives had been to New Orleans, had watched for several days a man with an iron-gray mustache and beard resembling Velasquez whom they found in that city. From New Orleans they had followed him to Cuba only to discover that he was an innocent Cuban who had been out on a protracted spree.
 It was one more added to the many 1isappointments they had already ex- perienced; so with sad hearts they left the Crescent city and returned to join Mrs Delaro and her daughter at Long Branch.
 Their presence was never more well some, for the widow was secretly long Ing for a change of scene, while Armida dad openly expressed the same desire.
 It was about an hour after dinner of the day on which they returned. MT. Wilcox was up in the parlor relating his useless adventures and fruitless chase after the innocent Cuban to Mrs. Delaro, and Armida was keeping Percy Lovel company while he smoked cigar on the piazza. The two last named sat near to an open window of the ball. room, and, as they talked, watched the couples who were already assembling to take part in the German that evening.
 During the interval which had elapsed since Percy met MT. Wilcox in San Francisco the Englishman had grown quite stout and had very much improved his appearance by cultivating a beard.
 As he sat near to the lovely girl to- night no one would have remarked that there was great disparity of age be- tween them-that is to say the fact would not have struck 8 casual observer very forcibly.
 Percy had grown into a handsome, broad-chested man, and possessed a healthy appearance which denoted that he had forsaken most of the foolish

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Quay
is not member of the Senate commit
tee on privileges and elections. Never
theless, not liking the Force bill which
that committee Through Hoar, its chair
nam is pressing, he is preparing sub
stitute for it which he will offer at the
proper time, unless Hoar and Spooner
shall prevent him. The terms of the
substitute are as yet unknown in detail,
but they will be more radical than those
Of the House Force bill, to say nothing
Of the Senate bill. They will be '.can-
did and courageous" as friend of
Quay says. Quay thinks the Republic
cans cannot consistently refuse to vote
for his bill, and at the same time has no
idea that it can become a law. But his
pressing il may defeat the Horsepower
Rowell-Reed proposition. Quay is also
preparing an elaborate speech on the
subject, in which he will pay his re-
spects to the Hoar and Spooner party.
He has spent several days at home for
these purposes.

The methods he employed in getting

things that has yet turned mp against him.

it unless ordered to do so directly by the
