JUST A PIECE OF PAPER.

JUST PIECE OF PAPER.
Job Hendricks passed an uneasy
night, for he constantly was haunt
ed by the belief that there was some
one in the corridor moving back and
forth, and occasionally paused to
take a look at him as he lay there
In the moonlight.
Once or twice he had risen and
gone to the door to peer out, but
found no one, and then stumbled
back to bed, blaming himself for an
old fool to be in such a constant
state of fear over nothing.
Finally he fell asleep from sheer
exhaustion, and the sun was high
when he awoke and reviewed the
events of the day before.
What he had to do he must do
quickly, for it seemCd that he was
not altogether safe himself, and he
felt that he could not trust Ellison.

he made his scanty toilet. Thinking
over plans for the future made him
alternately merry and sad, but the
controlling feeling seemed to be one
of satisfaction.
After hasty breakfast he made

THE TSAR INCOGNITO.
Happy Outcome of n Chance visit of
Alexander HI. to a Wood -
Cutters Cottage.

> Alexander III. of Russia was once
fishing incognito in Che vicinity of
Viborg, Finland, and attended only
by an aide-de-camp. Sport had been
bad all the morning until an old
wood-cutter passed by and suggested
worm as bait. Several line fish
were soon landed by the tsar, who
was SO pleased that he insisted ON
going home with the wood-cutter to
luncheon. Here the trout were
cooked, and 0the royal guest was
waited upon by the PEASANTS daugh-
ter, who was sad and fearful. The
story is told in Finland AS It Isl
"Why is she so sad?" inquired the
tsar of the girls father at the close
of the meal.
Her sweetheart is dgaing away to-
morrow to serve in the army. Our
grand duke takes the young men
away FOR so long"
where is he, this sweetheart?"
asked the tsar.

A good-looking lad presently en-

him. .

little neighbour"
A shy nod was the reply.
"Well, give her kiss and tell her
you are not going oaway. General,
write this maN dispensation from
military service"
And the tsar rose to leave the
place.
"Can It be possible? Who are
you?" cried the amazed woSd-catter,
throwing up his arms. why, the
tsar himself could scarcely-"'

FRIENDS AND FOES.

1t was strange that bit of paper
a scrap Of torn envelope-could have
such a tonic effect on an elderly
mans spirits, but Job Hendricks
seemed highly elated over the discov-
cry he had made in the Ellisons'
house. Q
While the sudden fitting of Ellison
was swrRrise to him, he 0believed
that he should have no trouble in
finding him, for he would have to
appear when the murder case came
up for trial. .
When he assured himself that the
young girl had been taken away
that morning by her father, he felt
that for the present he had no busi-
ness further in the town. What set
tied the question of his going was
when he entered his little room at
the inn and found his bag had been
broken and its meager contents scat
tered about. 1t appeared as if the
searcher, in a rage, had tossed the
things orecklessly around because he
could not find what be wanted.
JOB accepted the incident with
good humor. Q

The most important articles of his
belongings he thrust in his bullying
pockets, and the rest he restored to
the bag and left it lying on the floor.
Then he'wrOte note to the landlord,

Dick Barnett was confined. He felt
satisfied as the train moved out o1
the station that his departure had
not been noticed, and the thought
that the man who he'd been left te

watch him was outwitted filled him
with quiet amusement
So it came about that the little
man in brown was never again seen
in the town of Exton, and the land
lord of the Bluebell, when he found
his star boarder had taken French
leave, mourned his loss for many
weeks afterward, and was wont to
regale the loafers of his establish
ment with the prodigality of the mil
ionaire travelling in disguise who
had honored his roof for few. short
days.
Meanwhile Dick Barnett took his
confinement coolly, and now and then
his solitary life was cheered by a
visit from Grace Ellison.
She generally came with her
father, and it seemed to Dick that
Ellison did mot treat him with the
same feeling as in the past, before
this trouble came up. He often won
dered, too, what had become of the
little man who had acted in such a
friendly way while he was enjoying,
or rather enduring, Mr.. Bliven's hos
pitality at Exton. He finally set him
down as an eccentric, who had be-
come tired of 0playing philanthropist
in his case and was probably anus
ing himself on a fresh subject.
When he was examined he was sur
prised to find what weight of cir,
cumstantial evidence there was
against him. There were two things
that counted in his favor. First, Ills
good character and even temper
makingo it seem impossible that he
could in a fit oof anger have killed
the mother, simply because she op-
posed his suit; secondly, the discov-
cry that Mrs. Ellison had been de
spoiled of her earrings of diamonds
and emeralds. Still, there was
some doubt whether she had worn
them that night, though they could
not be found in the receptacle where
SIZE usually kept her jewels.
That the young school-teacher
could have been erobber as well as
guilty of a deeper crime seemed alb
surd on the face of it. On the other
hand, he was very poor, and had
made arrangements to leave the &owp
that night surreptitiously.

Hendricks looked to see if the man
were telling the truth, and then, hav-
ing satisfied himself that such was
the case, said:
''Then you can give me his address,
I presume
Don't know it; he left none"
''To be gone long time?"

all"
.Is ne trying to slip out of my
hands," was the thought that had
entered Jobs mind, but, seeing that
the fat gentleman was standing
waiting to see him out, he said:
Sorry not to find him, but, dare
say, I shall run across him in the
city,
The butler was silent, though his
lips were moving as if there was
something on his mind that he want
ed to say, and yet hesitated about
uttering. Such a seedy visitor de-
served contemptuous treatment, and
yet his audacity might be owing to
the fact that he had some real bust
ness to discuss with. the masters of
lently out, and the butler gave vent
to his outraged feelings by slamming
the door violently behind him.
Job Hendricks pursued his way
peacefully to the gate, and so into
the highroad, wondering what this
sudden move on the part of Ellison
might portend.
"He is too sensible a man to think
that he can get rid of me so easily
by running away" he said to himself.
81 wonder if the appearance of the
strange fellow in the garden during
my last visit has anything to do with
his running Off"
Then he remembered the bit of
torn envelope he had picked up in
the drawing-room, and he at once
thrust his hand in his pocket and
drew 1t out. o F'r%.
The envelope bore the simple in
scription:
80 James Ellison, Esq,
The Grange,
Exton, New York.
It was a peculiar handwriting, with
certain features that made it dis
tinctly original. Job Hendricks
seemed to be intensely interested,
and sat down on bank at the edge
OF the road to study the paper.
Then, out of an sinner pocket of his
coat, he took out another piece of
paper, and, placing it alongside of
the other, examined them for some
minutes with deep attention.
"The same writing exactly-a lit
tie changed by time, but the same
man wrote them both" He thrust
the papers back in his pocket and
brought the palm of his hand down
on his knee with a resounding slap,
as if to express the exultation he
felt over the discovery he had made.
'WeIl, shall find my old enemy
| where I little thought to look for
him. By watching Ellison shall lay
hold of him, and, when I do, perhaps
the chance will come to settle our
account, which has been running so
many years. But, first, I must spin
| the web that will hold him fast"
Then, humming a song as if he had
reason to feel glad of his visit, he
strobe ON toward the town.
