Of the tray the hapless girl thought ehe
could not eat; but minute after, the
savoy smell Of the well chosen break
fast assailed her senses, creating hum
ger, Notwithstanding all her grief, anx'
iety and terror. The gossip OF the good
natcScd Mrs. Barton seasoned the re-
past: and at the end Of half an hour
our poor Eudora had made q good. and
refreshing meal for which she felt all
the better.
And now, then. what can, bring
YOU to PASS away the time with, unlai
some of your friends call?' said Mrs.
Barton.

"There are times when no book but
the one can be read" said Eudora.
Every well. Miss; to be sure you shall
have it." replied the woman, taking the
tray and retiring.
An hour .,sterward. while Eudora
was engages, RI seeking to draw COM

blessed volume. the oell-dStoor was

in by Mrs. Barton, who Immediately
relocked the door and withdrew.
Eudora arose in surprise to receive
this unexpected visitor.
The lady threw aside her veil and
revealed the features of Alma Elver-
ton.
Miss Elverton! Is it possible? You
here?" exclaimed Eudora, in aston
ishment.
"Yes, dear: but why do you speak to
me so formally?- Why do you not call
ME Alma, as you used to do?" in
quired the visitor taking the hand and
kissing the cheek of the prisoner.
"Why? Oh, that was SO long ago"
sighed Eudora.

then, so many things have happened

None that can estrange us, I hope,
Eudora?'
You think me innocent, then?'
''Yes," replied the visitor, seating her.

And so you come to see me. Oh,
that is very good in YOU

as the messenger of two friends, who
wish for the present to remain un-
known, but who feel such personal
interest in your acquittal that they
send you this sum of money, and beg
that you will accept it as loan, to be
devoted to the purpose Of fleeing coun-
sci for the Defense" said Alma, plac-
ing the roll of bank-notes in her hand.
But this is very strange said
Eudora, hesitating to retain the mon
ey. s~
''And is not your presence in this
place very strange? And is not every
thing that has happened to you for the
past two weeks equally stranger?
"Oh, yes, yes; so strange that it
sometimes seems to me to be unreal;
as though were dead and sleeping in
my grave, and dreaming this dreadful

'"Then repayment will never be de-

Will come to Cleveland for a time as soon
as Mrs. McKinley's health will permit. She
mas been quite Ill, having been threatened
with pneumonia, and her recovery Is slow,
though she is now able to 20 out in a car
riage."
MIR. Hanra stated that nothing whatever
had been mentioned between the President
elect and himself In regard to a trip south.
1t Is possible that Mr. and Mrs. Mckinley
will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hanna
at their southern home during a portion
OF the winter, but so far the matter has
not been discussed.
Asked il cabinet matters had been taken
up during his visit to Maj. Mckinley, the
