CHAPTER III.
The Voice in the Darkness.

David was silent for long time. The
strangeness of the situation had shut
down on him again, and he was think
ing of nothing else for the moment In
the dead stiffness Of the place he uld
hear the quick breathing of his COM
panion; the rustic of her dress seemed
near to him and then to be very far off.
Nor did the pitchy darkness yield jot
to his now accustomed eyes. He held a
hand close to mis- eyes, but lie could see
nothing.
''Well?" the sweet voice in the dark
ness said, impatiently. "Well?"
"Believe me, 1 will give you all the
assistance possible. If you would only
turn up the light
"Oh, I dare not T have given my
word Of honor not to violate the seal of
secrecy. You may say that we have
been absurdly cautious in this matter,
but you would not think so if you knew
everything. Even now the wretch who
holds me in his power may have
guessed my strategy and be laughing at
me. Some day, perhaps
4ll' SpedkeI Stoppeu, WITH something
like sob in her throat.
We are wasting precious time" she
went on, more calmly. II had better
tel: yor my history. In your story a
woman commits Il crime; she is guilty
of a serious breach of trust to save the
life of the man she loves. BY doing so
she places the future and the happiness
of many people in the hands of an
abandoned scoundrel. If she can only
manage to regain the thing she has
parted from the situation is saved Is
not that so?'
$50 far you have stated the case COR
rectly," David murmured.
AS 1 said before, am in practically
a similar case. Only, in my sitution, I
hastened everything and risked the
happiness of many people for the sake
of little child"
"Ah!" David cried. Your own child
No! The child of one very near and
dear to you, then. From the mere nov
elist point of view, that is far more
artistic idea than mine. I see that I
shall have to amend my story before 1t
is published"
A ripping little laugh came like the
song of bird in the darkness.
Dear Mr.. Steel" the voice said, II
irlplore you to do nothing Of the kind.
You are man of fertile imagination-a
plot more or less makes no difference to
you. If YOU publish that story you go
far on the way to ruin me-"

Luck better Than Brains.

Ex-Gov. Upham Of Wisconsin told a
good story on himself the other day.
"I was once interested in two lumber
DEALS" he said. "I had offered a valu-
able piece of property at 100000, and at
the same time I was trying to buy a
tract of pine trees. While the deals
were pending ran across Gypsy for
tune teller in the woods, and I asked
her to tell me my fortune.
''You will be very lucky in your
DEALS she said.
That's good remarked.
eyes continued the fortune-te teller.
your luck will beat your brains.'"
Gov. Upham says that the woman
spoke the truth. A few days later the
syndicate which held the option of $780,
900 upon the property he had offered at
that price, decided not to accept it, and
it was not long before he was able to
sell the land for almost double the
amount.--Washingto Press.

dorp, Transvaal. They have arranged
to meet the burgheTs at different rem
dezvouses and submit the British

will everywhere accept the terms, as
they are in no way anxious for a winter
campaign. The only difficulty likely to
occur. will, it is thought be with the
Orange Free Staters, many of whom
are expected to prove recalcitrant. In
the meantime there will be no cessation
of hostilities. The delegates are ex-
pected back in Pretoria the middle of
May, and in anticipation Of their re-
turn they have given orders here for
new clothes, provisions. etc.

there is good reason to believe tenta-

which will prove mutually cordial and
lead to an early cessation OF hostjlities.
The Utretch correspondent of the Daily

Boer delegates at Pretoria have full
powers to negotiate without reference
to the Boer leaders in Europe, who have
no real influence on the peace negotia-
tions.

MADE LONG TRIP
 IN PRAIRIE SCHOONER.

Danbury, Conn.,, Aug. 21.-John w.. Black and his family have reached Danbury from Arkansas, after three months trip. They came in ''prai- rie schooner'' from Bonneville, Ark, 1,5O0 miles.
 Black, who is said to be independ- ently wealthy, conceived the idea of visiting his relatives in Connecticut and driving the entire distance, living a gypsy life en route. The family left iu May and headed for St. Louis, travelling from there to Terra Haute and then to Indianapolis, from which point they journeyed to Wheeling and then struck straight line across the country to Newburg on the Hud- son. The travellers covered about fifteen miles day on the average and camped at nights, using the huge wagon for sleeping quarters and cooking over camp fires wherever they stopped. Beds, cooking utensils and supply of provisions were car ried by the wagon. The whole family were in excellent health and spirits when they reached Danbury, which was practically the end of their jour ney.

HAD THE WRONG ADDRESS.
Small Wonder That Clergyman Could
Not Find the House.

Not Find the House.
One of the most distinguished of
Washington clergymen was seen the
other day walking uncertainty along
First street northwest, just south of
the entrance to the Soldiers Home.
He held a slip of paper in his hand,
looked at it every little while with
a puzzled expression on his face, and
then turned to stare %absently at the
open feeds all about him.
a mounted policeman rode up to
him after a little and asked: Can I
help you, sir?"
Maybe" answered the venerable
doctor. I'm loalirG for a house up
in this neishborhoCd somewhere" and
with that he handed his slip of paper
to the officer. 1t is No. 2S16 First
street. To guide me I've written after
the number that the house is on First
street, near the corner of Ninth. But
l don't see how there can be any cor.
ner of First and Ninth streets"
The policeman was as much puzzled
as the clergyman. A letter carrier
WIZ pdSSeu just al tHdt lllne was at
ccrdingly called into the consultation
The three were studying the address
when the minister folded the paper
with a strange, faint smile and began
to walk back toward the city.
Have you found the house?" asked
the letter carrier, catching step with
the clergyman.
