CHAPTER Nv.

1t was with conflicting feelings thai
Mollie brushed out her sunny hair be-
fore luncheon, staring absently the
while into the glass with perplexed
frown.
They were strange people, these Du-
bois, and she uneasily felt that she
could not fathom them.
Henri's cynical tone she considered
unfeeling, for Leonard Barlowe had
been his uncle after all; while madame
never showed the least respect for her
dead brother, though any allusion to
him would visibly upset her self-con-
troll. And Mollie shrewdly guessed that
the extravagant affection she heaped on
Kate was but on the surface.
Evidently madame had sent for her
son, and there was "she" in the case
did they mean Kate?
Already Mollie had not a very high
idea of their probity, and wondered
how much power they had over the
child's fortune.
But she did not think of herself at
the moment, except to be glad that she
was no relation of theirs. And then
her thoughts drifted off to Reggie, and
there was smile on her face as she
flung open the door, nearly running
over Kate. who was advancing conse-
quentially down the corridor, huge
box of distinctly Partisan bonbons in
her arms.
81 shall not give you one because
you would not take me to get moss
she said, with solemn spitefulness, as
she displayed them.
you should have gone with pleas
ure had you asked nicely" returned
Mollie, unruff1ed. But l will not take
you anywhere when you are unpleas-
ant"
And before the irate mistress of the
house could find anything bitter
enough for her poor little tongue to
utter, the elder girl had passed her,
and, descending the stairs, entered the
dining room, where Madame Dubois
and her son were standing by the fire.
There they stood. these aliens and
strangers, giving themselves all the
airs of proprietorship in the house
that ought to have been quite as much
hers as Kate's. Standing, too, right
under the painting of her father in full
uniform that hung over the mantel-
piece. 1t would have been removed
long ago but that it had cost some
hundreds of pounds, and, Mr.. Barlowe
secretly thought. added distinction to
the room.
A hot wave OF indignation and
wounded pride swept over Mollie.
What business had these people at
Chalfont using everything as their
own, while she herself was but guest;
and it was very frigid and naughty
bow that she gave in the direction of
Monsieur Henri Dubois when his moth
er introduced him.
What am l to call your" exclaimed
madame playfully. rs it to be cous-
ins?"
Certainly not, madame" she broke
in quickly, with a polite smile. II am
a L'Estrange. and the only relation I
have in my fathers house is my half
sister Kate And her tone clearly
implied that no other would be al
lowed.
The elder woman's face darkened
visibly; but before she could speak
Henri said. with graceful, sweeping
bow:
"Mademoiselle is cruel; but l trust

ship"
With some murmured words of as
sent Moilie sank into her seat, and dur,
ing luncheon took as complete a sur.
vey of the young man as the fact thai
he was covertly trying to do the same
thing of her would allow. Small, slight,
dapper, with sharp. well-cut features, q
sallow complexion, and quick, black
eyes. he was indeed a contrast to the
young officer who already held large
place In her heart.
A thorough Frenchman was Henri
Dubois, both In thought and appear
ance. though his English was very
good; and as he sat at the foot of the
table caressing his small. black mus
tache and endeavoring to make himself
agreeable, Mollie privately came to the
conclusion that she disliked and dis
trusted him only little less than she
did his mother, and that might only be
because she did not know him so
well. Indeed his high voice and cynical
air contrasted badly with Reggie An
struther's hearty tones and easy, we'll
bred manner, though it was plain that
his mother thought him perfect, and
rarely took her eyes from his face
Where have you been this morning,
Mollie?" she demanded at length, when
there came a break in the CONVERSE
ton.
"SheShas been for a country walk
with Mr. Anstruther. saw her." broke
in Hates little voice. maliciously
And she would not take me-"
Did swift glance of meaning pass
between mother and son? Mollie could
not be quite sure. for this unprovoked
attack was disconcerting enough to
make her blush furiously. 1t was very
annoying, and madame's eyes were
turned upon her crimson visage With
unmerciful scrutiny.
Kate knows why l would not take
her." she said, breaking the pause with
somewhat naughty ring in her young
voice.
But this Mr.. Anstruther-" began
madame coldly.
Il met him when was going to
gather moss, and he accompanied me-
rather defiantly.
Madame's lips went into the thin
line that gave such a very unpleasant
expression to her face, and Mollie con-
tinued her luncheon with but hazy
notion of what was on her plate, and
a vague, uncomfortable presentiment
that picking moss in the bright sun
shine with Reggie for a companion
would not be allowed to occur again.
Two or three times already, when her
opinion had not agreed with madame's,
she had been obliged to yield, and as
the scene Of the fragrant earthly moss,
the Pickering light through the bud
ding branches in the shady lane, and
Reggie's laughing brown face rose be-
fore her. SO also did feeling of her
own helplessness in Madame Dubois
strong, shapely hands.

Body OF Nm InquIsitivs Cat Found Altar
Many Years.
Egyptian mummies are not so mach
OF rarity nowadays as they once
were, In fact they may even az pres
ent be looked upon as an article Of
commerce, but the body of a mummi-
fled cat found at Germantown has
claims to be regarded as a curiosity.
The mummy Is now to be seen In the
window Of Ia Chelten avenue, Ger
mantown. The preservation of the
body Is perfect, the cara and even the
tail being in good condition. The
house indicated is occupied by the
family Of ]. S. Pryor. Mrs. Pryor says
that when the ceiling Of the Methodist
Episcopal church, on Haines street,
was being torn down for repair Oct
"a, 1877, the workmen came across a
hard substance embedded In the cell
Ing. On being dug out the substance
was cast aside. Mr.. Pryor, who was
watching the repairs. brushed the ac-
cumulated dust and dirt from the cast
off object, and the mummified body
of cat appeared. How the quadruped
got into the interior structure OF the
ceiling, there to die, is mystery. The
church was built in 1853. The only
plausible theory SO far presented is
that the cat, by some means. got into
the ceiling while the original plaster
ing was In progress and tarried until
sealed In. The plaster on hardening
became air-tight and the cat by ex-
hausting the air In its adopted prison
cell unconsciously preserved Its body
intact. The Pryors intend to give the
curiosity some day to the Philadelphia
Academy OF Natural Sciences -Phila

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. March 2s.-Wheat was
strong under the influence OF steady ca
lles and reports of damage TO the French
crop to the extent of 20 per cent. Tine

market advanced / IA cent on their buy

ceipts were 1901 600 bushels larger than
last year. Clearances were 100000 bush
els There was said to have been a
GOOD cash demand, but only 10000 bush
els was confirmed.
Corn was up 3-S. which was not an eX-
hibition of much bull enthusiasm in view
of the surprising advances in the provis-
ion and other pits. The corn close was
only Ia cent over Tuesday. There was
considerable selling by the interest which

one. Liverpool was about steady West

Oats we're up is to 3-S cent the in

ing of the deferred future and its dis
count under May narrowed TO "a cent. The
sentiment there is that the oats discount
under corn is about as wide as it will
get.
There was a large trade in provisions.
Lighter hog receipts than expected with
that market 10 cents higher started prices
at an advance, which was added TO during
the day. and the closing was strong at

THE FEAR OF hUMBUG.
Prevents Many People From Trying
Good Medicine.

Stomach troubles are so common and in
most cases SO obstinate 10 cure that people
are apt to look with suspicion on any rem
edy claiming to be a radical, permanent
cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many
such pride themselves on their acuteness
in never being humbugged, especially in
medicines
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far, so far, in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak digestion
rather than risk little time and money
in faithfully testing the claims made OF a
preparation SO reliable and universally
used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines iol
the reason that they are not secret
patent medicine, no secret is made of their
ingredients. but analysis shows them to
contain the natural digestive ferments.

Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastis. and nux.
They are not cathartic. neither do they act
powerfully on any organ. but they cure
Indigestion on the common sense plan OF
digesting the food eaten thoroughly before
ii has time to ferment, sour, and cause
the mischief. This is the only secret OF
their success
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles be-
cause they act entirely on the bowels
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That is all there Is
TO it. Food not digested or half digested
is poison, as it creates gas. acidity head

There was heavy realizing in the stock
market yesterday and some short selling
in the securities that have advanced most
rapidly during the past two weeks. This
selling for the two accounts had the eff
feet Of stemming the advance in many

Wall Street people express the opinion
that with conditions as they are and the
