myself. My efforts were useless. I
seemed like one surrounded by stone
walls, through which there was no
escape. Each way I turned I was met
with some impervious obstacle.
For my sakev This concealment
was for my sake! am plunged in
despair. l am told there Is no hope.
Yet'all this was for my own sake! The
riddle grew more and more difficult Of
solution. Grant could doubtless solve
ii il he chose, but would he do so?
Not he. The next day Isonce more
attacked him. l implored, command
ed, even threatened; not one word
would he speak, l was on the verge Of
quarreling with him; but as fancied
it was only by his direct or indirect
aid could find Viola, l restrained my
very natural wrath, and on the subject
of Viola sullen silence succeeded my
useless questions.
I fingered on at the farm long after
Eustace Grant was we'll enough to dis
pense with my services. Where else
could I go? From whom but Grant
had I a chance of ascertaining my
wife's present abode? l must wait and
watch. A chance word, letter. any
thing, might put me on the track.
Moreover, had presentiment that
Viola was not far away. People, when
driven to their wits end, put a vast
amount of faith in presentiments.
Much as l had learned to love him,
severe as were the twinges OF remorse
still felt for my murderous act, 1t was
all I could do to force myself to be-
lieve that Grant was single-hearted in
his determination Of keeping me In the
dark respecting my wife. The more
so, as 1t was my conviction that, could
I once meet her, my pleading would
be eloquent enough to bring her back
to me, to begin once more the happy
life so strangely cut short. Only let
me see her once more, take her by the
hand, gaze into her eyes, call up the
memory of those few short days when
we were all the world to each other:
surely I must then be told the truth
and conquer.
One morning Eustace seemed dis
tracted and i'll at ease. He answered
my questions absently. Presently he
said: do you mind making a short
journey for me?"
Certainly not. Where to-"

able here. Will you go to LOrient for
me?"
"Of course 1 will. But how am to
get there? The diligence does not run
to-day"
Jean could drive you in the light
wagon, but that would be tedious.
will try and borrow a horse"
favored the horse. Twenty miles
in old Bouley's wagon was not tempt
ing prospect. So the horse was pro-
cured and decided to stay at L'Orient
for the night and ride back the next
day. My purchases could be sent by
diligence.
Grant gave me list Of the articles
he wished bought. Some Of them, 1t
struck me, seemed superfuous and
trivial and all might have been ordered
by letter. Then I mounted and rode
along the table-land, down the hill,
through the sleepy little village, up the
other hill, and away on the dusty road
to L'Orient.

EUREKA SPRINGS, Ark, July 5-In
the mining district, some three mi IS
from this city. there has been made a
most novel and interesting discovery.
Half way up the mountain a prospector
was working in a 6-fOot ledge Of calca-
o rock. bearing every evidence of
the silurian age. He had progressed
fully ) feet into the ledge when a blow
of the sledge revealed to his astOnished
gaze a live toad, snugly ensconsed in a
cavity in the solid rock about the size of
a quart cup. The sides of this cavity
We're perfectly smooth and bore no evil
dence of crack, seam or c~revice.
The toad's position was equally dis
tant from the upper and lower surface
of the ledge; above the ledge is a strata
OF pure white sandstone three feet
thick and Immediately over this a layer
of soil, out Of which tower great oak
trees two feet in diameter.
The find was made by D. D. Field,
formerly of Topeka, Kan, and an ex.
perienced miner, who has for some
time been prospecting in the mineral
region in this vicinity.
Some years ago., near Peoria, Ills, a
live toad was discovered in a strata of
sub-carbonl1 erOuS formation under sim
liar conditions. except it was of a pale
slate color.

lIafiied the Authorities.
The strikers are simply keeping away
from the mills, and in declining to go
and get the wages due them. have
baffled the authorities. The latter would
have known we'll enough how to deal
with any ~assemblage Of the people-by
turning loose on it the mounted Co.'S
sacks with their w~hips-but they are
powerless to deal with a Moujika which
merely stays at home.
The plan whose adoption is believed
to be likely is to send all the strikers
back to their native villages. with their
personal rights to travel IN the empire
abridged. but this will only spread the
story of a successful labor demonstra-
tlon all over the country and put a

There have also come from the Rus

that Nicholas II is in a state of physical

some occasion for the fear that he is not
