mined to break up all relations between
him and Marjorie, she visited the
manse the next day and secured Mr..
Lorraine's consent that Marjorie should
discontinue her French lessons for the
present.
This done, she ordered the coach
man to drive to Dumfries.
When they reached the town they
drove straight to Caussidiere's lodg-
ing, and with a very determined face
the lady of the Castle descended and
walked up the doorsteps.
She knocked sharply at the door,
which was Immediately opened by a
servant girl.
I'm seeking the gentleman that
lodges here-the French teacher" she
said, stepping without ceremony into
the lobby
Caussidiere, who was within. put his
head out of the door of his room, and
recognized his visitor at once with a
beaming smile.
Pray step this way, Miss Hethering-
ton" he cried. 81 am delighted to see
you!"
She followed him into his little sit-
tingroom, and stood leaning upon her
stan and looking at him with her black
eyes. while he drew forward a chair
and begged her to be seated. She nodd-
ed grimly and glanced round the apart
ment at the table Uttered with corre-
spondence. at the books scattered here
and there. at the roses and creepers
which peeped in at the open window.
Then she walked to the chair he had
prepared for her, and sitting down,
looked at him fixedly again. Not in the
least daunted he stood smiling at her,
and waiting for her to explain her
business.
At last she spoke in her native
tongue.
First and foremost. how muckle is
Marjorie AMMAN owing to ye for her
French lessons?"
AS she asked the question. Miss Heth-
erington drew out an cid fashioned silk

They passed from room to room, find
Ing each one gloomier than its prede-
0essor. The old man pointed out the
pictures and various relics which he
thought might be interesting, and
Caussidlere glanced about him with
eyes like hawk. As they passed on
ward his face became less radiant; a
frown Of WEAKNESS and disappoint-
ment began to cloud his brow. At
length the whole Of the castle had been
examined, and the two men began TO
descend the quaint oaken stairs. Caus-
sidiere, lingering as II in no haste to
go, still talked pleasantly and glanced
impatlently about him.
Presently they passed the half open
door of kind of boudoir. Caussidiere,
who had looked keenly in, paused sud
denly.
Surely" he said, II know that facet"
The old man went forward and
pushed open the door, and the French
man, following closely behind him, en-
tered the room and stood thoughtfully
regarding the object which had arrest
ed his attention. 1t was picture, a
good sized painting, which hung above
the mantelpiece.
"'Tis Marjorie AMMAN" explained the
old man, foster daughter to the minis
ter. Twas painted by Johnnie Suther-
land. The mistress bought it because
she likes the lassie, and because it has
a favor o. herseP."
The Frenchman stared.
Like Miss Hetherington?"
"Ay, like herself" returned the old
man. you'd be no denying itself IL
you saw the picture in that press. IT'S

eighteen years of age"
81 should like to see the picture"
"Aweel, aweel, you should see it; but
the press is locked and Mysie has the
key"
You could not get it, suppose"
"Ay, could get it" returned Sandie,
still under the influence Of the French
mans gold. "Bide awhile and you
shall see"
He shuffled off, leaving the French
man alone.
The moment he was gone Caussi-
diere's face and manner underwent
complete change. He sprang from the
room, as it were, with cat-like fury,
turned over papers, opened drawers,
ransacking everything completely. AT
last he came upon a drawer which
would not open; it was in writing
cabinet; the counterpart of one he had
at home; he pressed hidden spring;
in a moment the drawer flew open, and
Caussidiere was rapidly going over the
papers which it contained.
Suddenly he started, drew forth
paper, opened, and read it. A CLEAN OF
light passed over his face. He folded
the paper, thrust it into the inner
pocket of his coat and closed the draw
err. When the old man returned with
his key he found Caussidiere, with his
hands behind him, regarding the pic
ture Of Marjorie Amman.

him. In the light of subsequent events
Ii becomes apparent that theatrical affairs
were his strong point.
Liyermore was industrious to a certain
extent and his business was profitable un
til improvement closed the market for the
goods manufactured. In company with
his father he made the Livermore foun-

city. Last Thursday Liverinore hurriedly
left Peoria and was arrested in Chicago

that he was on the edge of exposure and
left town uncerimoniously. He had been
gone but few hours when man from
Ohio who was backing his enterprise ar
rived at the Auditorium and complained
that he had been victimiZed to the extent
of $40, 900. He charges Livermore with for
gerry, cmbezzlement, grand larceny and
several other crimes. Then Kelly and

the efforts of the government of Massa-
chusetts, the American Antiquarian and
Massachusetts, Historical societies, the
Pilgrim Society of Plymouth and the
New England Society OF New York,
backed up by the desires OF the Archbishop
of Canterbury and the Bishop OF London,
the consistory court of the diocese OF Lon
don assembled in the old chapel of st.
Paul's cathedral to determine the ques-
tion of the restoration of the log of the
Mayflower To the United States. The
chancellor of the diocese DIR. Thomas ii.
Tristran, presided in wig and gown.
United States Ambassador Mr.. Thomas +.
Bayard was represented by Mr.. Arnold
Stratham, barrister who opened the pro-
ceedings by reading a petition from MIR.
Bayard in behalf of the president and
citizens of the United States which gave
the history of the book and the presump-
tions as to how 1t came into the possession
of the Sec of London. Mr.. Bayard's petit
tion was cordially endorsed by the Bishop
of London.
Mr.. Stratham then called Mr. III. f. Lee,
legal secretary of the Bishop of London
who undertook in behalf of Mr.. Bayard TO
use every means In his power to safeguard
the log and deposit the same in Pilgrim
Hall, Plmyouth, Mass, or some other
safe place selected by the President of the
United States.
Continuing Mr.. Stratham stated that
this was an unusual petition not brought
by single person, but supported by "A
large body OF public feeling and the Pres
ident and numerous learned societies OF
the United States. In short, he added
the petition was brought by the whole of
great nation living on the greatest
amity with Great Britain and even with
out Mr.. Bayard's undertaking he felt sure
that America would so treat IL. This
was of world wide importance as it would
be safely transmitted to successive gene
rations on national and public grounds.
The chancellor then spent 80 minutes
in examining Mr.. Lee, reading long ex-
tracts from the book which he examined,
debating on the obscure dates, etc. The
chancellor then asked if New York was
| part of Massachusetts,, and counsel and
| Mr.. Lee were unable to answer the ques-
| ton.
Thereupon, the chancellor said: "Is
| there nobody present able to answer the
| question:? "The question was then an
swered by a representative of The Assoc
ciated Press, who said that Massachusetts
was part of New England. The chan
cellor then asked if Plymouth was in
Massachusetts,, and The Associated Press
reporter assured him that 10 was. Later
the chancellor read long Judgment dur
| ing which he set forth that the log was
\ part of large number of manuscripts
1 in Fulham Palace, relating to the English
possessions In the American colonies
which before the declaration of Independ.
| ence, formed part Of diocese of London.
1.-The bishop of London will deliver the
| book to Mr. Bayard personally.

dry and Became a Manager.
Now Accused OF EmbeZzlemsnt,
Forgery and Other Crimes.

Ten years ago, a familiar figure in the
streets of his city was Walter A. Liver
more He was tall, good-looking man,
and he knew it, for he posed on street
corners, in theater lobbies, hotel corridors
and other convenient places to display
his figure and grace. He was always
dressed in fashionable attire and appeared
TO be extremely contented with himself
He labored under the impression that he
was LADY killer" and as matter of
fact, he was a subject of some discussion
with the fair sex. He was well l-behaved
enough and was no better or no worse
than lots of other woll-shaped and we'll
dressed young men, whose strong point
seems TO be the adornment of promi-
nent street corners
Young Livermore had one fad. He was
enamored of the stage and its people. He
set himself up as sort of dramatic oracle
and announced broadcast that he was
the dramatic correspondent of the New
York Clipper, a weekly publication, de-
voting considerable space to stage doings
As correspondent he had entree to all the
theaters, and he co-ld be seen in the
lobbies talking to agents, habitues and

Chickering's in the PennSyl-
vania Commission.
Mr.. Brooke and Mr.. Todd After
Zach Others Scalps.
Latter Makes a Biting Answer to the
Attacks Made Upon Him.

There Is political quarrel in Pennsyl-
vania now in full blast, which is of special
interest to Rhode Islanders, and especially
to the members of the patriotic organiza-
tions and the members of the John Water
man memorial commission.
1t will be remembered that n commits
sion was appointed here to erect monu-
ment over the grave of the famous Rhode
Islander. JohnWaterman, at Valley Forge
The matter was delayed and recently,
without much explanation. the erection
OF monument at the star Redoubt
where Varnum's Rhode Island Brigade
was located was suggested as a substi-
tute.
In his last message Governor Lippitt
said: 1.-The negotiations TO secure suit
able square Of ground about the grave OF
John Waterman, at Valley Forge, have
occupied much time during 1895 by cor
respondence and at personal interviews
efforts have been made TO harmonic un-
acceptable conditions. Much 10 the dis
appointment oil the commission ~ mas
been found impossible TO secure the desired
location upon terms that were deemed
acceptable to Rhode Island:
The Unacceptable conditions" referred
to are the results of the row in the Penn
sylvania Valley Forge Park commission.
The proposition TO erect John Water
man memorial first came from Daniel w.
Howard Of Pennsylvania and at his sug-
gestion the question was taken up here,
first by the Sons OF the American Revolu-
tion and the Daughters and thcp by the
State Legislature.
Mr.. l. Heston Todd, another member
of the Pennsylvania commission, offered
the land TO Rhode Island free % cost, but
before the arrangements could be per-
fected there was a general overturning In
the Valley Forge organization. Mr..
Howard and Mr.. Todd, who had been ap-
pointed by Governor Patterson were re-
moved, with several others, by Governor
Hastings and Mr.. Francis NJ. Brooke
was appointed and became president OF
the body.
The subsequent quarrel which has been
particularly bitter between Mr.. Brooke
and Mr. Todd accounts for the change
of the Rhode Island plans.
Mr.. Todd in answering some OF Mr.
Brookes' criticisms now gives snappy
account of the whole affair. He says:
"How the editors of the papers espcc
tally the Inquirer, Press and NORTH
American should be induced to write So
called editorials for 4. M. Brooke To carry
out his spleen against me, which h,
started in 1894, / cannot understand.
If you think after i have shown yur
all the cause of the spite and venomou
disposition carried out through innocent
editors, when he is too cowardly To sigf
his own name, you will count 1t as one o
