ground; he had passed into the
neighborhood Of Leicester Square,
when suddenly he started and trembled
from head to foot A voice, it seemed
to him familiar voice, struck upon
his ear. 1t was speaking volubly in the
French tongue.
Hurriedly he drew aside to allow the
person to pass him by; then. looking
up. he recognized the French teacher
Caussidiere
Yes, it certainly was he, beyond all
manner of doubt! He was carrying on
such an excited conversation with his
companion that he not even noticed
Sutherland, whose sleeve he had al
most brushed.
Sutherland's first impulse was to
rush forward and confront the French
man, his next to drop back, to remain
unobserved behind and follow him.
The latter course he followed.
Where he went he could not tell, be-
ing IMMERSED in the ways and the by
ways of the great city, but he was TAX
en- in and out Of by-streets and Sums
mostly inhabited by French refugees
presently the two men entered house,
from which, after a lapse of an hour
which to Sutherland seemed an eterni-
ty, the Frenchman emerged alone. He
called up a hanson; Sutherland called
up one also, and they ratified away aft
err each other.
The Frenchman's hanson stopped

presently at a house in Cover street
Sutherland, after noting the number OF
the houae in passing, pulled up his
hanson at the corner of the next
street and walked quietly back again.
By this time both CaussidieTe and his
hanson had disappeared. but suther-
land recognized the place. lie walked
up and down on the opposite side OF
the way, examining the house, staring
at it as If ne would fam penetrate
those dark walls and see the fair face
which he suspected to be within.
Then he calmly walked over knocked
at the door and inquired for Madame
Caussidiere"
The servant admitted him, and he
was at once shown upstairs In one
thing Sutherland was fortunate--Caus-
sidiere was not at home.
He had entered the house only for
moment to give his hurried instruc-
tions to Marjorie
Pack up your things at once" he
had said; prepare yourself by the hour
of my return. We leave for Paris to-
night"
Then he had FASTENED down again,
entered the hanson, and driven away,
Just an hour later the hanson con-
tanning Caussidiere stopped again be-
fore the house. This time the man re-
ceiyed his fare, and the cab drove
away empty, while Caussidlere entered
the house and went up to his rooms,
lie found Marjorie in tears, and John
Sutherland by her ride NJ
At sight of the latter he started, looks
ing the reverse of pleased; the presence
of the young painter, by no means de-
sirable at any time, was at that mo-
ment particularly embarrassing. But
Caussidiere was not easily abashed;
his presence Of mind only deserted him
for moment; then he came forward
with a sinister smile.
$50 1t is you, monsieur" he said. II
am amazed, but cannot say that am
altogether pleased, since through find
ing Marjorie in your presence, ! see
her with a sorrowful face, and with
tears in her eyes"
He came forward as he spoke, and
held forth his hand but Sutherland did
not take it, He rose from his seat, and
stood awkwardly looking at the two.
Marjorie rushed forward and took
her husbands arm.
"Ah, Leon" she said, do not be an
cry because l cried little at seeing an
old friend. Though love the past, my
love for you is not less; and he has
told me such strange news"
Caussidiere smiled down upon her
and patted her cheek 1t was wonder
full how self-possessed he felt now he
knew that no one could step between
him and his prize.
"Well, my child" he said, and what
is this great news which he has told
your"
He has told me of my mother, Leon
of my dear mother"
Positively"
DO you understand, Leon, that MISS
Hetherington is MY
"Assuredly I understand, little one.
II 1 remember rightly, it fell to my
share to tax the lady with the fact
some time ago, and she could not deny
it." \
"Then you did not know of 1t, and
you never uttered word; you never
told me, Leon!"
"Told you! certainly not, mon amie!'
It was not my province to reveal the
dark spots on the fame of the proud
old lady of the Castle"
1T was not your province to tempt
an innocent girl away from her home
and her friends" cried Sutherland hot
ly; yet you have done It"
The Frenchman flushed angrily.

MRS. ASTOR'S BALL.
Fine Show of Jewels by the 500 In
vited Guests.

New York, Jan. S.-Mrs. Astor gave a
ball last night. And when Mrs. Astor
gives a ball there is no nonsense about
it. This mother and grandmother of
m1lllonaireS, who has been aptly called
the female Nestor of New York society,
entertained five hundred persons at No.
S42 Fifth avenue.
There was no hugging exc1usiveness
about it. There were no freaks and no
sive display of hospitality, such as the
uncroWned queen of a big city'S society
feels impelled to offer if she have a re-
gard for the motto, "Noblesse oblige."
After the supper the cotilion was
danced by nearly two hundred of the
guests 1t was led by the Messrs. Elisha
Dyer, Jr., and Richard Peters. Mr..
Dyer danced with Miss Van Allen, and
Mrs. M. Orme Wilson was Mr. Peters
partner The favors distribute in
cluded a variety of silver trinkets.sash
and other gew gaws. For the men there
were silver match boxes, cigarette cases,
pencils, orders and bOutonieres.
As was anticipated, the display of
magnificent gowns and jewels has been
unrivalled this season. The matrons
were arrayed in the richest satins or
brocades. Some of the gowns were
smothered with exquisite point lace,
while others were embroidered in gold
and silver. All wore diamond neck
laces, pendants and bracelets. The de-
collette waists glittered with the prec-
louS gems set in SunburstS, crescents,
new moons and hearts. TiaraS scintil-
lated from the majority of the coiffures.
Other ornaments such as aigrettes, filets
and bandeauX, and big sprays of flow

HAvECUBANS ASKED PEACE
A Spanish Story Says Gomez Has
Made a Proposition of That
Nature.

Chicago, Jan. S-A dispatch to the
Tribune, from Washington says: Posi-
tive statements were made tonight
from the Spanish legation sources that
Gomez. the Cuban commander-in-chi
had actually submitted a proposition
for peace to Senior Sagasta, in Madrid
and that the facts have already been
communicated to the junta here. All
that stands in the way, it is said is the
proposed recall of Capt. Gen. Weyler
which the insurgents insist shall be
preliminary to all negotiations.
The statement came to the Tribune
correspondent with great distinctness,
but as the source is Spanish, there is
an open suspicion that the news NAV
be given out for the express purpose of
injuring the insurgent cause.
Secretary QueSada and other Cuban
representatives here have all along de-
MED the insurgents would accept any
thing short of independence and they
profess to be shocked and disappoint-
ed at the story of weakening on the
part of Gomez. They will not admit
that he has communicated with them
but the legation story is to the effect
that a letter from the Cuban general
was received by the junta on December
% which he says that if ever Weyler is
recalled and Martinez Campos Calleia
or Gen. Pando sent in his place, the in
surgents viii be ready to talk of laying
down their arms.

BISSELL MAY GO NEXT.
Not Unlikely That He May Go t o
the Frisco.
Indications of This Nature Evil
dent For Some Time.
Other Matters of Interest Concerning
Kansas Railroads and Railroad Men.

The appointment of George T. Mich
olson, to be general passenger agent OF
the St Louis & San Francisco railway
brings to mind the fact that when the
possibility of such a move was first
talked of several months ago, the name
of w. A. Bissell was also mentioned as
another man who might be likely to
leave the service of the Santa Fe and
join Mr. Robinson's forces Mr.. Bissell
has been assistant freight traffic man
ager of the Santa Fe for several
years.
That the resignation of General
Passenger Agent Wisehart was re-
quested by Mr.. Robinson goes to show
that the new management of the Frisco
means to reorganize all departments of
the road with a view of infuSing new
life and energy into it's affairs. A
promise of such action, it is understood
was exacted by the new board of direc-
tors at the time of the reorganization
of the system, and this theory is borne
out by the fact that within the last six
months the operating department of
the road has been thoroughly reorgan-
lied.
1t now appears that Mr.. Robinson
has turned his attention to the traffic
department, and the first step taken is
the securing of Mr.. Nicholson as gen
eral passenger agent. What further
steps may be taken can as yet be only
guessed at, but it would not be a sur
prise to western railroad men to see
Mr.. Bissell leave his present position
for more important place with the
Frisco road.

MURPHY'S CRUSADE.
Over 800 Have Signed the Pledge il
Boston.

Boston, Jan. S.-Since Francis Muir
ply opened his crusade against strong
drink on Sunday night over 800 persons
have signed the pledge in his presence
in Berkeley Temple. Last night Sam"
Jones assisted in the work there and
people went on signing the pledge until
the blue ribbon gave out.
Mr.. Murphy delivered a gospel tenn
perance lecture, taking his text from
the story of the Prodigal Son, and
showing the deceitfulness of drink.
Sam" Jones followed Mr. Murphy
and told the large congregat ton that it
was their business to see that nobody
drinks. L am not responsible for liq-
uor," said he, but I am responsible for
the way L vote. I have but one desire
in this world, and that is to be the
worst man that walks the face of the
earth; and I want to feel just as sober
and true as the grace of God can make
me. [ wish everybody to be better
than L.
While the congregation was singing,
Mr.. Murphy exhorted all to come for
ward and sign, telling them to make
the CAUSE respectable if they wished to
see Gods work done in this town.
For Gods sake" said he, let it be-
gin in Berkeley Temple! For your
country's sake, come up and show the
world that YOU can conquer this habit
with Gods grace!'

New York, Jan. S.-The American
Missionary association made public yes
terday its annual financial report, show
ing that its receipts from New England
amounted to $15S, GAS 81. The receipts
from New York were 1913 SOP. &c, and New

FAILURE FOR WOLCOTT.
A London Paper Says He is Only Go.
ing as "Salve for Silverites"
ANYHOW

London, Jan. S.-The Bimetallic
league has cabled to one of its mem
bers, Mr.. Forbes, who is now in Bos-
ton, requesting him to send a wreath
and to attend the funeral of General
Francis A. Walker.
An editorial in The Times on the
death of General Walker says: Ills
death will be regretted in Great Brit
ain almost as much as in America. He
was one of the fairest and most able
advocates of bimetallism."
After eulogiZing the deceased econo-
mists attachments and writings at con-
siderable length, The Times continues:
With all respect, it is improba BILE that
had he lived he could have done so
much to further the avowed object of
Senator Wolcott's visit. Senator VOL
colt will be welcomed here For sew
eral reasons, Mr.. Mckinley could not
have chosen a more acceptable envoy.
But public opinion in England is more
hostile than before to bimetallism.
Nothing can be hoped from the visit
except as a salve to the silverites. The
failure of his mission is certain. No
public man, whatever his theoretical
views, would think the present an OPP
perfume time TO meet the proposition.
At all events, as long as bimetallism ap-
pears to be dropped or revived accord
ing to eXigencies of the American do
nestle policies"

SUSPENDED ON A PICKET.
a Valuable Horse Belonging to Oliver
Il. P. Belmont Injured in Gen.
trail Park.

New York, Jan. S.-John Cavanaugh,
coachman for Oliver H. P. Belmont, was
riding a valuable horse belonging to
Mr. Belmont in Central Park yesterday
afternoon, when the animal got fright
ened at Eighty-fifth street and the East
Drive and became unnanageable.
1t reared and plunged, and finally fell
upon an iron fence picket, which pene-
trated it's hind quarter to a considera-
BILE depth. Thus impaled, the animal
was helpless Cavanaugh was unable
to extricate it, and a park policeman
went to his assistance.
Finding it impossible to lift the horse
from the iron, the policeman cut the
picket out with a jackknife. This made
an ugly cash, but it relieved the horse,
which was taken to the park stables,
where the wound was stitched.

MAYOR HOOPER'S REFORMS.
Schools and appointment of Teachers
Taken Out of Politics.

Baltimore. Md, Jan. S.-Mayor Hoo
per, whose reform administration has
been a series of surprises, exploded an
other bomb in the camp Of the politi-
clans today by removing nearly the
entire board of public school commits
sioners and filling their places with
some of the most prominent educators
and business men in the city. He
heads the list with President Gilman of
the Johns Hopkins university who will
no doubt introduce some needed re-
forms in the school system. DR.. Lillian
Welsh of the Wonen's college, another
of the new commissioners is the first
woman to be appointed on the Balti-
more school board. She was formerly
of Philadelphia and a graduate of the
Woman's Medical college of that city.
John T. Morris, president of the board
for many years, is reappointed.
The mayor has thus succeeded in TAX
ing the schools entirely out of politics
and removing the power of appoint
ments of teachers from the politicians.

of the junta; that he was sent out OF the
country, rather that he was at any
time in danger of being put in prison.
