''Mr. Barker, have brought with me
a sum which I consider as justly due
Capt Allaire up to date. In your ca
pacity as committee and guardian his
salary will be paid over to you at our
office on the first of every month"
VERY well, since you desire it," re-
piled Lew Barker.
''Be kind enough to give me receipt
for the amount now paid over to you" ;"
Certainly, Mr.. Uollister." And Lew
Barker turned and entered his office to
draw up the receipt asked for. When
he reappearcd the merchant again ex-
pressed his regret at not seeing Molly
and then took his leave.
The moment he was gone, Lew Bark
er called the mulattress to him.
"Does Kate know that Mr.. Hollister
has been bere?"
mo doubt she does, Lew" answered
Nanny. ''She saw him come and she
saw him go way"
"If he should call again, which is not
at all likely, for some time, anyway
take good care that he doesn't sec
either Kate or Molly, you understand
Nanny?"
at shall be as you say, Lew"
But suppose Kate should insist"
'Oh, as for that" chuckled Nanny
''when you have given an order, I'll SET
to it that she obeys."
''All right, Nanny" murmured Bark
er, but look out for surprises! They
might run against each other by th'
merest chance, and if they should-I'e
lose everything"
"I'll be on guard; have no fears, Lew
No one shall get into Prospect cottag
unless we want him there"

Andrew Hollister. in his capacity az
the committee of the person and estate
OF Mrs. Allaire, resolved to sell the
Tennessee farms and wild and graz
ing land. The board and treatment of
Mrs. Allaire at DIR. Bromleys establish
ment would call for the expenditure of
q very small portion of the income
which would be annually passed to her
credit. and hence the accumulations
would in the end make her one of the
richest women in southern California.
When 1879 had come in there was
none hopeful enough to think that it
would bring any change whatever in
the situation, and yet it did The fact
is that during the earlier months Of the
new year DIR. Bromley and the physi-
clans attached to his retreat had noticed
nnmistakable symptoms of change in
Mrs. Allaire's mental condition. That
calmness of despair, that stolid apathy
which she had shown for all the petty
details of actual life was interrupted by
moments of emotional activity. -
II was thought advisable to remove
her from DIR. Bromley's establishment.
to take her back to Prospect cottage,
back into her own room; and when this
had been done there were on her part
manifest signs of realization of what
had happened and of interest awakened
by finding herself amid other surround
ings.
With the coming Of the first days OF
spring-it was April then-the walks
in the neighborhood Of the cottage
were resumed. and several times Mrs
Allaire was taken out Oh the beach OF

New YORK. Nov. i6.--In the marble
palace of fArchbishop Corrigan on Mad
ison avenue to-day the conference OF
the prelates of the Roman Catholic
church of America began and it may
have results of far reaching char
acter. The conclave is hedged about
with privacy and the avenues of pnb-
lie information are few. Cardinal
Gibbons is said to be presiding and the
occasion gains unusual interest from
the presence of Archbishop Satolii,
the pope's delegate to this country.
Archbishop ireland is present and it
is thought he will meet all inquiries
relative to his views on the American
school question.
The educational question, it Is be-
lieved, is being thoroughly considered
by the conference. Among other mat
tiers it is understood that Archbishop
Katzer of Milwaukee will ask the
conference TO accurately define the
term secret society. This is in
Difference TO the wishes of the German
Catholics of the West and is
said TO have in view the knights

movements Of the vessels in the off1ng
and now and then she stretched her
hand out toward the horizon. But, un-
like the first experience, she made no
effort to escape from DIR. Bromley, who,
walked by her side. Nor did the noise
of the waves as they broke foam-laden
upon the sand affect her unduly. Was
there reason to think that in her
course Of the Dreadnaught as she sailed
out of the port of San Diego and her
topsails disappeared from sight behind
the cliffs? Yes, perhaps SO, for one
day she was distinctly heard to murmur
the name of Johnl
Yes, had it been that the Dreadnaught
was to come sailing back again; could
John have returned home at this time
and have confronted Molly suddenly,
possibly she might have recovered her
reason, but, alas, what idle speculation
was it to look for the coming of Johnl
For this reason, DR.. Bromley deter,
mined to subject his patient to a shock
"a dangerous remedy withal, but one
which might be followed by the best
results.
On the morning of May 81 the two
men called for Mrs. Allaire at Prospect
cottage. DR.. Bromley's intention was
not to re-enact the heartrending scenes
in any manner; but to place Mrs,
Allaire in the exact position occupied
by her at the moment when her mind
received its direful hurt Mr.. Hollister
and he led her towards the steam
launch, and hardly had she set foot
upon the deck when her demeanor was
such as to hold the attention of the two
men spellbound. Apparently with an
instructive movement she walked to
the bench on the steamboat side of the
launch and sat down in the corner
which she had occupied when holding
her child clasped to her bosom. Then
she turned her gaze down the bay,
towards Point Iona, as II she were
looking for the Flying Cloud at her
anchorage.
The launch had already made about
half mile Of her course, and Molly's
eyes had not been lowered to the sur
face Of the bay. She kept them directed
toward Point Iona, and when at last
she turned them in another direction, it
was with the intent of watching the
| movements Of a merchantmen which,
with every sail set, had entered the bay
and was heading for the quarantine
station. Molly's face seemed as If
transfgured. She rose to her feet, her
eyes still riveted upon the incoming
ship.
1t was not the Dreadnaught and she
was harboring no illusion that it was.
With mournful shake of the head, she
murmured:
"John-dear John, you'll soon be
coming back, too, and shall be there
to receive you"
Suddenly she plunged her gaze down
into the waters of the bay which now
for the first she recognized. A pitifui
wall escaped her lips as she turned to
Mr.. Hollister.
"Mr. Hollister, is that you?" she in
quired, tenderly. But my little Walt
my child-my poor dear babe-he is
there-there-yes, remember re-
member" and with these words she
threw herself upon her knees on the
deck and the tears burst forth tumult-
