The accompaniment to this story,
told in the most matter of-fact tone,
was the low, harsh grating Of the file,
which the speaker was diligently us

Any one else would have done every
thing in his power to keep his friend
from such a venture, and, when all
failed, would at least have been anx-

CHAPTER x.


Meanwhile the justice and his clerk
were seated at a Widespread table in
the dinlng-room. which also looked
out upon the garden. Edward could
not send the gentlemen, who had TAX
en- the long ride in vain, back to the
city Immediately; so he had invited
them to dinner.. Mr.. Thompson could
not find words 3pough to EXPRESS his
regret amt syMPsthy for theA sorrow
overhanging the household, but he
saw no reason why he should not have
comfortable meal on that account.
He thought it perfectly natural that
Edward should excuse himself and re-
main in the drawing-room. No one
could feel offended with the grief
stricken nephew, but he himself dis
cussed all the more eagerly the good
things set before him, and was ably
supported by his clerk.
The old gentleman only regretted
Doctor Blackwood's absence. and ad-
mired the sense of duty which would
not permit him even to appear at din
ner. He was just giving his factotum
discourse concerning this distin-
guished physician, at the same time
helping himself to large piece of
roast meat. His factotum listened
most dutifully and took still larger
slice, when the subject of the con-
versation suddenly entered.
"Ah, there you are, Doctor Black

CalVe, the Woman.

Calve, the woman, is a topic not
whit less fascinating than her career
as a prima donna. Each summer IS
spent at her chateau at Cavriere, near
Aveyron, France There is a pretty
romance connected with this country
seat. When as girl she used to
walk this place each day her most
daring dream was to some time be
rich enough to purchase it. After
success came the dream was realized.
Today she spends as much time as
possible there in company with her
parents and brothers and sisters. To
the village folks Calve is an ideal
Lady Bountiful She visits the pooc,
takes the sick all sorts of tempting
delioacies, interests herself in secur-
ing positions for the unemployed
The village children fairly worship
her Calve loves children. She will
sit for hours on the lawn under the big
trees surrounded by group of ad-
miring children, telling them strange
tales of what she has seen and heard
in foreign lands, or relating legends Of
long ago.-George T. B. Davis in W.
mans Home Companion.
