Money in sheep.

From the Springer Stockman.
T. p. James, Of Spring Hill Union
county, started in the sheep business

first purchase. In '95 he cleared

5000 ewes In '97. lie has also sold
500 old ewes, this,spring, at $3.50 per

appeared a. certain a. anything could
be now that Che two had gone away TO-
gether, the man having probably forced
Lola to do what be wished, possibly as
revenge for tho horsewhipting.

other long pause as though expecting
from Beryl the result of her thoughts.

fray" she answered quietly, grieved as
she saw the half kindled light Of ex-
peotancy die out Of his face, as though
extinguished by the deep sigh he vented.

she is close at hand all the time. Oh, I

ticing the start she gave at the words.
II saw her last night" And be de-
scribed his meeting with her at the Ash
Tree wood.
It was now Beryl's turn to be utterly
perplexed.
1t cannot have been Lola, she said.
ut is impossible. -
Yesterday should have said it was
impossible that she would ever leave
the shelter of my roof, but ! have

have not breathed to soul, not even
to the detective who is down here. II
would explain everything, and it makes
even the letter ineligible. She has not
been like herself for some time now.
She has had fits of moodiness and de-
preston, in which she was haunted by
dread Of some terrible catastrophe which
would overwhelm us all. I have tried
more than once to rally her from these
when I have found her SC, and gener-
ally I could do it with word or
caress. Yesterday she was like this
when I was with her in the afternoon,
the time she speaks of in her letter here,
and I have somehow come to fear
that in some way the scene with that
French villain may have unstrung her
nerves till-till she has lost her mental
balance and been driven to this rash
and fearful act Heaven help mel I be-
lieve sho is mad, Beryl."
He broke down then at the free ut
terance Of the thought that had been
forcing itself on him. and burying his
face in his hands he yielded himself up
helpless to the rush of mental pain that
overwhelmed him.
Beryl sat watching him infinitelya
moved at the sight of his laboring trou-
BILE, but thinking that perhaps even
that belief, which she did not for mo.
ment share, was more meroiful than a
knowledge of the truth would be.

Cf1Af LEW Ala.
"nEAvEN HELP ME! l BELIEVE SHE'S
MADp'
Nothing came of Sir Jaffray's discov-
cry in Ash Tree wood to help in unrav-
cling the puzzle.
He had not had the wood searched
and had contented himself with search
ing it alone for some hours He was
unwilling that the discovery of Lola's
strange conduct should be made in the
presence of number Of the servants,
and he resolved, therefore, that as he
could not bring them to the place with
out telling them what they were to look
for he would not do anything till it
was at least clear that Lola did not
mean Of her own will to return.
He reckoned, moreover, that as she
had not left the immediate neighbor-
hood Of the manor it would not be diff
cult to find her whenever it should
prove necessary to search systematically.
When the morning came and he had
been home about couple Of hours, he
began to expect with feverish impa-
thence the arrival Of the private detect
i've to whom he had telegraphed. He
wanted to feel that the matter was in
skilled hands.
When the reply to his telegram ar
rived, it was to the effect that Mr..
Clifford would start for Walcote at the
earliest moment and would arrive about
midday.
Feeling his anxiety in some degree
leesened by this fact, Sir Jaffray went
, out to make inquiries about the move
ments Of Pierre Turrian and to find him
and drag from kim the truth as to
whether he had any connection with
Lola's fight.
But there was not soul anywhere
who could give the remotest or faintest
help in tracing the Frenchman. He
might have vanished completely off the
face of the earth at the moment of his
leaving the manor lodge gates so ut.
terly had all trace Of him disappeared.
The servants who, in obedience to Sir
Jaffray's order, had turned him out of
the place said that he walked away in
the direction Of the village, and that
they had watched him till bend in
the road had hidden him, and after that
they had seen nothing whatever Of him.
As to the clothes which he had left
at tho manor, he had said that he would
send for them either the same day or
the next, but no sort Of message had
been received.
The man had thus vanished, leaving
no trace behind him, nor was there
seemingly any one who had set eyes on
him after he had left the manor.
A little before noon Mr.. Clifford ar.
rived, and in very businesslike, shrewd
way absorbed the circumstances as Si"
Jaffray told them.
The latter, half unconsciously, made
the story as favorable as possible to-
ward Lola, and his listener soon saw
this.
EXCUSE me. Sir Jaffray," he eaid.

. solutely necessary that you. should tell
me everything. Iwant from you every

intently, and as the moon was shining
brightly at the moment he drew cau-
7tiously under the branches Of . dark
yew tree whose shade was wide enough

He was on the opposite side Of the
road from the wood, and he did not like
to cross it lest the sound Of the horses
hoofs on the hard ground or the glare
Of the moonlight should reveal his
presence.
As he listened he distinguished that
the footsteps were short and quick.
while it seemed to him that the rustling
Of the leaves az the person walked was
continuous, as though caused by wo.
mans dress, but it was very difficult
to detect any little signs Of the kind.
twas clear, however, that the person
was walking in his direction, and then
he remembered that just at the spot
there was very rarely used footpath,
leading to the road from an untenanted
cottage which was now falling into de-
cay.
A minute later his speculations were
set at rest. ......
The slight gap in the hedge where
the path emerged was nearly filed up
by the rank luxuriance of the hedge
growth, and Sir Jaffray saw the briers
and branches thrust cautiously aside
and woman's hooded figure fill the
+ gap She paused an instant, as though
in doubt.
The face was hidden completely in
the. shade Of the hood which covered the
head, but the figure was perfectly well
known to the man who was now watch
ing with breathless interest.
It was his wifel
At that instant his horse, a very high
spirited and nervous animal, took fright
at the woman's figure and with snort
Of fear commenced to plunge and STAN

tangled with the bride, his efforts to

plunging. excited horse for some consid-
cradle time.
"Lolal Lola! 1t 10 I, Jaffrayl Waltz
he called, fearful lest she should take
alarm and rush away in ignorance Of
who lie was.
AS soon as he could possibly extricate
himself from the reins he let the horse

But Lola had disappeared.
He ran across the gap in the hedge,
and, standing on the threshold Of the
wood, called her name loudly and wait
ed till the echo of it came back from 20
different points, seeming to mock him.
Then he run at the utmost speed he
could use in such place along the path
into the wood, pausing now and then
to call to Lola by name and to listen
for the sound of a word or footstep.
But the place might have been the
abode of the dead and the figure he had
seen a ghost for all the sound or sign Of
life he could find.
Presently he returned along the path,
resolved to get his horse, ride on to the
