exclaimed:
aBut what other reason could he

entity? In the mountains, by the
waterfalls, in the valleys-every-
where, he has dogged our foot
: steps, and as often as we have
changed our route he has sue
ceeded in finding us. But Miss
Graham Will unmask him; she
has promised to do it, and what
Miss Graham undertakes she ac-
complishes. She is an extraordi-
nary woman, and / regard my
self as fortunate in having en-:
trusted to her the education of my

traordinary lady was approaching
them hurriedly. Her face wore a
triumphant expression; she held q

Ia q tone that reminded one of the

Mr. Borden took the gazette and
read aloud the paragraph referred
to-:
unfortunately the notorious
poacher Franz Emminger, called
poacher Franz, who eight days ago
