To whom time was no object, stopper

a few women Joined the crowd, n IN
about a minute a fair sized crowd had
assembled. The gathering swelled until
Mail street was blocked, and hundreds
OF persons pushed forward 10 see what
was going on, while newcomers hurried
from all the walks through City Han
Park.
Under the mail wagon shed in the
rear of the postofiice a very small boy,
the center of attraction, held the
stubby section of a garden hose at
tached to a water plug used by the
mail drivers to water their horses. The
weather was warm, and the boy. clad
only in a waist and tattered knicker-
bockers, was gravely taking a shower
bath. He seemed to enjoy the notice
he was receiving. and the crowd APP
plauded each new antic he performed.
The mail drivers were interested, TOO.
A, policeman hurrying UP to investi-
gate the cause OF the excitement was
pushing to the front before the lad saw
him.
Instantly the bather dropped the
hose, and, ducking under a pair OF
horses, scampered away. The section
of the crowd in the foreground jeered
at the policeman and then began TO
dispense. Far in the rear people who
arrived late We're still inquiring what

Gen. Thibaudin, a former French
minister of war, lives now at Montfer-
neil, near Raincy, and he there finds a
novel way of entertaining his nufner-
Gus visitors. According to the Gaulots
he takes them into an adjacent wood,
where stands the house of a master
mason, Delavier by name. Here they
are shown the singular sight of swal-
lows nesting in the chimney clock hat

the house TO open the and
allow them to fly forth and seek u

CHAPTER XII.

Pale and languid, but with her love-
liness only enhanced thereby, Helen
Reynolds lay next morning among the
cushions Of her lounge.
The clock on the mantel struck IL.
The day was SO far gone, and already
nothing, had been done. No longer
could she hesitate in the work that h
raust do. No longer lose precious time.
Ter husbands forgery of Grace Haw-
tnorne's name must at once be OBJ
tanned.
Harry himself sat writing at a table
close beside her. Once. at least. in ev-
cry minute he raised his eyes to look at
her.
Her faint on the previous evening
had greatly alarmed him. A physician
lad been instantly summoned, who de-
clarel that his ratient seemed to be
ffering from intense nervous excite
nent.
Helen explained this on her recovery,
by stating that she had started from
the house Cor n walk, and. on passing
through Lafayette Square. attracted by
rs solitude, had sat down upon one of
the benches to rest. That she had over
heard. from a bench near by, two men
planning a robbery. and had feared to
stir. lest they should accost her. She
had gotten chilled through. she said,
and the warm air Of the house, on en-
tcrinc. had overcome her.
Some simple remedies had been pre-
rcrihed. and this morning she declared
herself folly restored.
Only her own soul knew the long
agony of her s~leepless right. The mo-
ments had heightened themselves into
hours. the hours into years of torture.
She had lain with her hands grasping
the side of her bed and her face half
hurled in her pillow. in the effort TO
repress the sccnam which now and then
seemed as IL it must break from her
lirs.
Let n little sound. even a moan
escare her-give way but a single inch
10 the tide which she held back by all
the power of her self-control-and she
knew that she would be power,ess TO
prevent its utter destruction OF all her
fsculties. She would have shrieked out
the whole terrible story, and have gone
mad as its fitting sequel.
With the dawn some of her calm re-
turned. Overcome by fatigue, she fall
en- into dreamless slumber. IT had rest
ed and refreshed her In the relaxation
1t afforded from the terrible strain.
h now could think calmly.

asked. at last.

stopped from where he sat TO press a
kiss upon her lips.
Fondly she stroked back the hair
from his brow.
