No Information Gwen Out.

London, May 10.-Thomas Gibson
Bowles made Intellectual attempts in the
house of commons to draw out the par
liamentary secretary for the foreign
Office, Lord Cranbourne, on the subject
of the Atlantic shipping combine, the
Panama Canal, the Danish West Indies
treaty, and German railroad in Asia
Minor. Lord Cranbourne's reply did
not iIlumine the situation. He said
no communication had passed between
the United States and the British gov
ernmentsson the subjects of the ship
ping combine, nor regarding the pro-
posed purchase of the Panama Canal
Company's rights, nor as to the Danish
West indies. As to the suggestion
that J. Pierpont Morgan was leading
member of the syndicate carrying out
the concession which Turkey granted
o.Germany for a railroad through Asia
Minor to the Persian Gulf. the govern
ment, said Lord Cranbourne, had no
information to that effect.

CHAPTER VIII.

Both Mias Lacroix and myself waited
impatiently for news from Freeman in
London. Prom day to day expected
n letter; and day after day, when | met
her either in Jacques's cottage or In
the little clough beyond Timperley
Hall, | had TO tell her that no letter
had come. She quickly began 10 show
signs OF that heart sickness, which in
the young is 90 ready TO follow upon
the steady, indefinite postponement OF

/ encouraged myself also to believe
that an Overruling Power was holding
this mystery In hand for some great
purpose, only TO reveal II eventually
with the moro force and effect.
One evening when / met her In the
clough we were both startled and
silenced by the clear, full note Of a
bird--a liquid 'joug-ioug."
"Is 1t a thrush?" taid in a whisper.
She listened breathless, almost pant

"0h," she whispered, at length, cit

and, poor girl, she actually sobbed.
''How can the dear little bird have got
so far out Of its way IS this dreadful

utes to the ravishing song, both of us
were impelled TO go away TO tell others
of our delight. The path out Of the
clough led along the ridge behind Tim.

houses. From one OF these we were
surprised, as we approached, to hear
music and singing of an unusually fine
quality. 1t was just growing dark; a
lamp shone out from window, over
which the blind was not yet drawn,
and we could plainly see man seated
at the piano, and girl, eight and
small of figure, standing with her hand
on his shoulder. She sang in voice
clear and sweet as birds, song then
much in vogue, called "Ehren on the
