o She was scanning him curiously.
Would he tell her anything about the
note? She let her eyes drop slowly from
his face tohis mud-spattered ankles.
"How does one contrive to get so
muddy in such dry weather, John?'
"Snipe,-swamp birds, you know.
No end of trouble to secure them. But
Il fancied they would be treat to you
and Ninette. Where is the monxey?"
'Ceieste and she are out together,
somewhere. She will be'in presently"
No; it was evident he did not intend to
Z tell her anything about that note. She
had scarcely expected he would. On the
. other hand, she did not intend to tell
him of Ninette's visit to Glenburnie.
Was she in a position to cast stones? A
secret for n secret.
The dlnper-bell rang while he was
still busy with the wisp broom, ridding
himself of his forest accretions.
You are not going to dinner in that
rig?"
She turned from the mirror, where she
had been putting the last precise touch
es tos her Own dinner toilette, to ask
this question, as there was no sign of
Johns doffing his corduroys.

"More snipe?"
"Yes-no; that is, of course, shall

always Count on my being so success
full" His evident nervousness increased
with every word. {.
81 never count on anything, she said,
ehigmatically, as together they de
scended the stairway to the dining
loom. Just as they reached it, she tried
an experiment:
''If you will wait for me to slip into q

''You are houndering, John, dear,

They were in the dining-room now,
and John was excusing his hunting
garb to his mother.

of bigness, madame. Miss Fairbanks
must not have seen my approach. She

the ground. 1 heard her say, very dis
tinctly, but in voice that was not
quite steady: Tell him yes-I will come
this once And the old man answered
back: Dry bayou, remember, missy,

Then, madame. Miss Fairbanks saw me,
and her face, the pure white face of a
saint, became redder than those roses
she gave the child. That is exactly
what 1 mean, madame, and all that
mean"

.'And Miss Fairbanks is saint. That
is as have already said-come, Ninette,

wash the dust of Glenburnie from your
feet, or you too may grow up to be a
saint"
She disappeared. dragging the re-
luctant Ninette with her. Nora sat
quite still, enveloped in all the pain
and the powerlessness of hideous
nightmare.
In that nightmare trance she saw, dis
connectedly, a beautiful woman sitting
by the roadside, withered black hand
extending a white envelope towards her
husband, Johns hurried and unusual
afternoon departure, Celeste's mocking
face and malicious gossip.
"What then?" she asked, vehemently,
aloud.
After long silence she answered her
own question:
.''It would be nothing more than de-
serve"

His brow contracted and his lids
dropped until his eyes were almost in
visible. Nora had learned the danger
signal. He had reached the limits of
endurance.
The dinner was rather a failure, So
-cially. Dick and Rafe clattered their
forks and their tongues necessarily; but
to no purpose, SO far as Frightening the
atmosphere was concerned.
Lorimer and John were both, gravely
abstractcd..
II wonder if he knows" Nora said to
herself, glancing at her brother-in-law's
handsome serious face.
She was not sorry John did not go
back to their room with her. Ninette
was up there. She had heard her little
feet pattering over their heads for some
time. Celeste had smuggled her into
the house while they We're all at table.
BY tomorrow the child would have for
gotten all about her visit to the flower
lady, but to-day she might make indie
Greet revelations.
CeIeste's mood had changed altogether
since leaving the house. Her eyes were
sparkling, and her whole meager per-
son seemed inflated with an air of i'm
portancc. Nora looked at her in sur
prise. She had anticipated at least
three days of the sulks.
The walk has done you good" she
said, kindly. II told you you ought to
get out in the sunlight more"
Celeste stopped in front Of her, with
her hands folded over Ninette's cloak.
She snapped the fingers of one hand
audibly:

madame. Bah, it is the people who set

A California Plan.

SAN FRANCISCO, June est is pro-
posed here as practical solution of the
gold stringency that the federal gov
ernment withdraw all restrictions on
hydraulic mining, which it is believed
would have the effect, if done immedi-
ately, of contributing five millions in
gold before winter. Interviews have
been had with number of prom
inent mining men, all of whom
support the practicability of the
scheme. Speaking on the sub
ject, Gen. Dimond, superi rintendent,
says it is entirely feasible and that
the local mint, thoroughly equipped,
could handle the gold.
