as see finished reading this letter so
full of strange requests.
She looked hopelessly into the face
Of heryoung son and then back at
the letter and check in her hand.
''What is it mother?'' he asked
anxiously.
She took the reins in her own
hands and thrusting the letter into
his hands, said:
''Read this letter L cannot under
stand what has happened"
Ray glanced over the contents rap
idly, his face growing so deadly
white the while that his mother
cried out in alarm:
''Oh Ray don't let this affect you
so. Perhaps it's all joke after
ALL
mo, mother, Governor Murriatte
is not man given to perpetrating
practical jokes, something dreadful
has happened. But what can it be!''
And mother and son each looked
helpiessly into the pale face of the
other.
'.Shall we return to Beaumont or
go home,' Mrs. Cameron said check
ing the trotting horse.
Lets hurry home and acquaint
father with the news and ask his adj

reins in his own hands and urged the
horse onward.
They found Mr.. Cameron at home
in the library and proceeded to i'm

letter.
When they reached there they call
ed the family servants together and
questioned them closely. All that
could be elected, however, was learn
ed through the coachman, who said
that he had carried his mistress and
her daughter, who was so i'll that she
had to be carried in the buffers arms
to the carriage and into the cars, to
the $3.50 morning train, and that
when Mrs. Murriatte and Imogen
were taken to the depot. The house
servant said, however, that the gov

morning and left again at II O'Clock
without having given the servants
any orders or speaking of his intend

More puzzled still, Mrs. Cameron
sought Miss Benefits room. She

announced that Captain Hazleton had

and was waiting in the parlor.
Il will go down and tell him the
good news" Mrs. Cameron said
quietly, glad to leave the sick room
that she might go in quest of Mrs.

Miss Bennett and said, Il will call

where Captain Hazleton and her son
awaited tidjngs from the sick room.
The gentlemen were delighted to
hear the good news, and Ray said:
"How is Imogen, mother; may l

"Where are your Mistress, and

Fever. Physician Believes.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Dr. Frances
Delafield, DR.. George Brewer and DIR.
W. b. Pritchard held consultation
in the Waldorf-Astoria in regard TO the
illness of Baron Komura. the senior
japanese envoy, and found themselves
unable to agree on diagnosis. The
three physicians are a unit IN saying
that the Japanese minister OF foreign
affairs is very sick man, but DR.. Del
atield believes the baron is in the first
stages of typhoid fever, while his col
leagues think 1t Is case of bladder
trouble.
Mr.. Sato in giving out the result OK
the consultation said that DR.. Delafield
was practically certain that the disease
was typhoid, although the physician
was careful to point out that In the
early phases of this fever an accurate
diagnosis is sometimes very difficult.
Mr.. Sato added that Baron Komura' S
temperature was ranging between 30
and 102.
The official spokesman Of the Japa.
nese peace mission went on to say that
until now his superior had been deter,
mined to leave for Japan at once, but
