Not until several months later did I
hear something of the part of Lamar's
story which explained his coming into
my life. a letter from Perez brought
this expla nation, for which | had been
waiting eagerly. Neither johnson nor
| had had signs again of Lamar's pur-
suers, who, however, we believed, had
contrived TO secure proof that their
intended victim had evaded their ven
gaance. The strange schooner had not
reeptcred the bay. but the fisherman
had heard that vessel answering her
description had lain for three days at
anchor in little harbor some miles mp
the coast. and that at least four of her
people had been away from he~
throughout her stay. 1t was his the
DRY that the four revisited the house
the night before Lamar's funeral;
though inc man whom had employed
to assist Johnson as w0tcher and care
taker, and who was then on duty, re
ported no unusual happenings. and the
fisherman's belief had. SO far as coul;l
discover, no more substantial basis
than the fact that as he approached
bore TO his ear faint sounds which he
took for those of oars against thole
pins.
My term of residence in Rodneytowu
was closed within fortnight after the
body of tie suicide had been committed
to the earth; but before ] went away
there was wedding, at which an al
together charming bride was given
away by my good friend DR.. Banks,
standing FOR the time IN loco PARENTS.
In view &C the change in our circum-
stances, | ha persuaded Dorothy to
consent TO an early marriage, and to
come with me to Trent, where there
promised TO be an excellent opportu-
nifty to establish a practice, and wher,.
the bay hight become u doctors nag
in reality as well as in name. And
there Perez's letter found us, as happy
pair as the city held within its Dor
ders. As I.amar's residuary legatee =
if the term can be correctly used in
such a case--I was possessed of an in
heritance which. with my savings, was
ample to support us in comfort for
| the several years we deemed it wise to
allow for the building up of profitable
professional connection.
But now for the letter. which was to
tell me all had ever learned of the
career of the man whom | knew as
Lamar.
''He was of family of rank and
wealth." it ran. "He had much to con-
tent him with his lot. yet he was by ma
ture an intriguer and a plotter, cold,
selfish, daring and revengeful. Many
hated him, more feared him. So adroit
was he in his schemes, that, though
they sometimes came to grief. he him
self escaped.

Albert Lynch. the famous French
artist, is said to have given Us a new
and distinctive type Of american
girl in picture completed after his
return from recent extended visit to
this country. His characterization OF
Young American womanhood is eN-
eeedingly interesting and attractive,
the conception of a critical student.
and the creation OF skilled painter.
Mr.. Lynch was commissioned by The
Ladies Home Journa! to portray the
American girl" as he saw her, and
his picture will be reproduced IN the

There are prospects Of quite . number
Of swift wheelmen entering the race. It
is thought there will be over twenty
competitors for the prizes, including
riders from all adjoining counties.
The parade will include all the local
wheelmen and ladies. It will be very
interesting sight.
We gave list Of the prizes and the
committees last week. II has been
arranged that Guy Hickle shall be grand
marshal and George Collins, assistant.
w. @. Fields, Charles Miller, Frank
Lacy and Chas. Dumenil will act as
checkers at Lynchburg, and will tele-
phone the arrival OF each rider.
At Fairview, q telephone has been
placed for the occasion, and messages
will be received from there.
Entries for the race may be made
until noon Frinay.
The distance is twenty. one miles, and
it will probably take little over an
hour to make the run.
This will be race worth seeing, and
there will be intense interest in the
