BERNARD SEYMOUR.
Chalmers wired the impetuous
Seymour to send nothing except a
brief statement of the facts he had
learned; not for publication, but for
the private information of Mr.. Ste
vens and himself. Chalmers then
wired Stevens to put his men at work
at Provincetown, and return to New
York at once. He received a tele-
phone message from Miss Carmody
asking him to call at her residence
if convenient, and in Is minutes an
automobile landed him at the Car
mody mansion.
He found Miss Carmody with Miss
Edith LIE Roy, Miss De Neuville and
Mrs. Isabel White, the latter being
the widowed aunt of Miss Carmody,
and most charming chaperone to
that young lady. Mr.. Chalmers was
acquainted with all the ladies ex-
| cept Mrs. White. All were eager
| for the latest news. Mr.. Chalmers
! repeated Mr.. Van Horne's instruc-
tions about the reward, and dis
| played a copy of the headlines and
| the leading article for the following
| day. He told what had been done in
| the way of forming detective staff.
"We now have 40 men detailed ex-
| clusively to this work." he said.
"Ten are with Mr.. Stevens at Prov
| incetown and others are at various
points selected by Mr.. Stevens and
myself. L know you ladies will ex-
cuse me if / ask for a few minutes
| private conversation with Miss Car
mody. We must all do what we can
| to advance her interests, and this is
a matter in which she is especially
| concerned, and no precautions can
| be omitted"
Certainly we will excuse you," said
Mrs. White.
"Why, of course" said Miss lie Roy
and Miss De Neuville But these
young ladies were devoured of curl
osity and would have given anything
quietly to have stepped into the ad-
joining room and overheard the sub
dued conversation between Miss Car
mody and the managing editor.
Chalmers briefly recited the story
of l.. Sylvester Vincent and told of
the telegram he had received from
| Seymour at Chicago.
This is a clew well worth follow
ing" said Mr.. Chalmers. II do not sup
pose you have ever heard your faith
er speak about man named Vim
cent?"
Miss Carmody was sure that her
father had never mentioned the
bame. 1t was an odd one and she
would have remembered it.
Did Mr.. Vincent ever call here?
Your butler or footman might know"
Miss Carmody rang a bell. a SER
want appeared.
Tell Smith I wish to see him."
said Miss Carmody.
DO you keep the cards of all who
call on Mr.. Carmody?" asked Miss
Carmody as the butler stood in the
doorway.
"Yes, Miss Ellen"
Bring me the cards which have
been received in the past three or
four weeks"
The butler bowed, disappeared, and
soon returned with a formidable as
sortment of cards. These were
spread out on the table, and Miss
Carmody and Mr.. Chalmers began an
examination of them.

What the Governor cays.

Closely associated with the subject
o. rural public schools is the question
of public roads. Good roads would en-
able country schools 10 be consolidated
and strengthened. ard at the same time
facilitate the attendance OF students.
In the last few years there has been
a general awakening throughout the
country on the subject Of good roads.
Public highways are arteries OF local
commerce and trade. and when made
permanent crd substantial they facili-
tate travel, cheaper transportation OF
farm and other products to market,
stin. ulate business, attract desirable
citizers and increase the value OF
lands. They fill school-houses and
churches. encourage social intercourse
ard advance civilization. Reducing
the question to purely business basis,
good roads pay. If wisely and eco
nomically constructed. they are one Of
the best Investments that can be made
by the State or county. L trust
that your honorable bodies will give
this important subject the most careful
study, and amend the present law or
enact some new law that will insure
to the people Of Tennessee a better
system of public highways.-Governor
Frazer of Tennessee.

European Methods.

The treat highways OF Europe are
none OF them built by the farming re-
cions through which they pass. No
rural neignborhood can alone bear the
cost Of good roads. The central gov
ernments in EuroDe pay half or more
Of the expense. Of road-building. In
France the broad roads which cross
every dep: rtment are paid for from the
national treasury. The department
builds reads across every commune.
The commune or township builds only
the narrower branch reads.
Countess Aida Won KrocHow writes
as follows in the Chicago Tribune:
Germans find that it pays to encour-
ace peasants to free their EeldS OF
stones. The property rises in value
taxing value. The stones thrown into
heaDs by the roadside are purchased
by the district foad repairing commits
sion. Poor men. Who otherwise would
have to be supported in almshouses. are
hired to break these stones crd then
are trained to the work OF repairing
the roadbcds. The money to pay the
men is made by auctioning off to the
highc bidder the crops Of fruit trees
that were planted on both sides of the
highway when it was built and which
were nourished we'll by the manure
that falls along the road and is pushed
Mt intervals by the road tender upon
their roots. The purchaser Of the crop
sees to It that his fruit is not stolen.
The road commissioners have no
bother about that. And although the
sale be by auction II brings in consid-
cradle. Every burghar knows how
much, because the sales OF highwa:.
fruit crops are published III the local
newspaper"

CHAPTER NXII.
CAPTAIN BEN, OF THE GOOD SHIP AVA
LANCHE.

LASChE.
A short time later Mynheer Joe
makes his way in the direction OF the
liver. determined to carry out his
share of the plan as proposed by Mr..
Grimes. II the Avalanche has not al
ready sailed he is sure Of hearty CO.
operation on the part Of his friend, the
Yankee skipper, and go far as this
share of the contract is concerned 1t
can be set down as good as already ac-
complished.
There is considerable foreign ship
ping at Bombay, much Of which lies
n the river, as the Indian Ocean can
,e very treacherous. and great tidal
raves have done tremendous amount
If mischief in the past.
When Mynheer Joe reaches the ter
races. or ghauts. that line the river.
he finds himself in the vicinity OF the
place where the dead are burned. A
great pillar Of smoke rises. and by
glancins over q wall he can see the
funeral pyre, with all its primitive ac-
cessories, the sad mourners, the black
attendants and the bodies that are
being thus cremated. their ashes to be
cast upon the sacred Ganges.
Although the weird spectacle might
interest him ut another time, just Mt
present Mynheer Joe has something
else on his mind which he cannot dis
miss.
Eagerly he scans the surface of the
water in search of the clipper ship. IT
was here Captain Ben told him the
vessel lay. A number can be seen
near by; one bears the Star ana
Stripes, and upon her Joe fastens his
eyes.
He speedily makes her out to be
the Avalanche. since she carries ont
the verbal description Captain Ben
gave. TO his chagrin, he sees signs
that indicate an early sailing.
"By my life, they look as though
they only wait for a boat that may
be out! Another hour, and 1 might
have missed him. he exclaims aloud,
when a heavy hand comes down
with a thump In the middle of his
back, and hearty voice roars:
"Well done. Mynheer Joe! Reckon
you've come down to see what kind OF
n craft 1 sail. Go with me on board;
we can have some hours of chinniug
ere the anchor is heaved."
OF course, 1t is bluff Captain Ban
himself, the old schoolmate with
whom Joe tussled many n time IN
the days gone by. That worthy shakes
hands eagerly now; he could almost
hug the Yankee sailor, such is his in
tense delight at seeing him.
