Frank rose slowly, and came ward
her. holding out his hand.
You play beautifully, beautifully,
Miss Mabbe," he said. May / come
and hear you again-soon?'
Why, yes, of course" she answered.
But you must be sure TO let me know
IL at any time my playing annoys you.
1T will never do that" said Frank
| earnestly. Good night"
Could Frank have ooked through the
door that closed behind him he would
have seen the girl dancing quickly
round the room with a look of siee III
her eyes.
Caught" she whispered joyfuily.
Caught. Now we will spoil the Egyp-
tians. l wonder what it is that my
very dear uncle wants me to find out
from this extremely im~pressionable
young man" She sat down and
thought.
1T must be of great Importance" she
continued. "or he would never have so
far overcome his miserly ways as to
invite me to his house. When he asked
me l guessed ] was to be used for some
purpose, and now ] find that I am to be
the decoy that Is to draw a secret from
this oor, handsome fool. oh, well, 1T
win be fun"
Ruth was not really heartless. nor
was she dishonest, but she had always
been brought UP to consider that money
should be gained in the easiest way.
Fer better feelings had never been edu-
Gated. and so 1t was that she regarded
her uncle's proposal hat she should
draw Frank into confidence, and get at
his secret, merely with amusement.
The next evening Frank found him
self a%nxiously awaiting the sound OF the
playing. Directly the first tones rose
to him he stopped his work and went,
as he had done the night before, to the
room below.
Music did not occup all their time,
for Frank found his new friend "A ready
listener, and was oon conflding to her
his hopes and fears. He told her of his
many failures and few small successes
in the past. and how much depended on
his new invention-an invention that
would be a blessing to mankind and at
the same time bring him fame and for
tune.
The next evening and the next, for a
week, did Frank stop his experiments
and calculations at the first sound of
the violin and taste the pleasures of the
companionship which for so many years
he had denied himself.
Then there came an evening when
the music did not break in upon
Franks study. He tried to continue his
work, but found it impossible, for every
fiber of his body was strained and eX-

Cornmeal Abroad.

Commercial Tribune: Europcan
countries have not been backward i'm
appreciating the value of c0rnmeaI as
a food product. Fifteen years ago this
country was exporting to Europe about
25,000,000 bushels OF CORN Now Ii ia
not far from 800. 000, 900 per year, or an
eighth OF Americas total production
OF maize. Belgium alone is using more
per capita than the United States az
food, and they are using about 25 per
cent. of 1t in the bread made for COM
merce. That shows how shrewd and
economical they are as a nation.
Note another thing in connection
with the Introduction of cornmeaI in
foreign lands. over there they are
sticklers for science. and the leading
scientists were called upon to test thS
value OF cornmeal, or corn -four. IN

and there were TO restrictions from

The room i'm which Frank Braund
worked, and which he called his labor
atory," though IL was I'm fact sitting
room. bedroom. kitchen. and all, occu-
pied the whole os the second floor OF
the premises owned by Ishmael Isaacs,
pawnbroker, money lender and-any-
thing you please.
Frank found the place convenient In
many ways. A young inventor whose
inventions will not sell is often I'm want
OF a little ready cash, and In such an
| emergency a friend close at hand In a
convenience. Also there had. until
lately, come from below a sound
to disturb his thoughts, for ISaacs HIM
self occupied on the first floor that
o that had not been turned into a
s~torehouse for all sorts and conditions
OF unredeemed pledges.
Now. however, there came through
the floor the sound OF n violin. Frank
knit his brows and threw down his pen
impatiently.
How was it possible for any man to
make important calculations while that
wretched instrument walled in his
ears? That evening made the fourth
time within a week that his work had
been disturbed. He paced the room
angeriy.
ITS too bad of ~Isaacs,'' he muttered.

and he has eve found il necessary to
play that thing ~before-why should he
begin now just when / am on the point
OF completing what should be a really
good thing? He knows. too, that / am
hard at work. Perhaps il | go down
ard ask him ne will leave off.
Frank made for the staircase and was
quickly standing outside Isaacs' door.
The playing was really no bad; in
fac il was good. Strange hat the Jew
should not have mentioned that he was
master of such q difficult instrument as
the violin.
Often when Frank could not work he
looked in by special invitation at his
landlords room and spent an hour or
so chatting with him. The man could
talk. and though he could never like
him, this in Franks eyes covered a
multitude of sins. for, like many an
other hermit, he sometimes found his
loneliness more than he could bear.
He listened Il little while with his
hand ON the lock, for when IL did not
disturb his working hours he was genu-
inely fond of music. Then, with a short
knock, he entered.
To his intense surprise the occupant
of the oom was not Isaacs ut all. but
a tall. dark, handsome girl, apparently
about % years of age.
She had stopped playing as he OPEN
ed the door and stood, her violin un-
der her chin, and the bow straight

pectant of the melody which would
summon him to the side. OF his love-
His love!" He paced the ROOM,
thinking, thinking, thinking.
Yes, i love herr he cried TO himself.
II. who have nothing in the wide world
to offer her." He turned and gazed at
the table on which stood the models OF
his invention. yet, If she loves me she
will walt a little, and these, the work of
my brain and hands, should count for
something.
AS his eyes wandered over the many
pieces of ingenious mechanism Al great
purpose took shape In Franks mind
He determined TO tell this girl every de-
tail of this great secret he had guarded
and cherished for SO long.
She already knew a little, but she
must know %all--all! Love and absolute
trust were all he could give her, and Of
these he would withhold nothing.

CHAPTER XVIII.

Az the back Of Olive Dumbarton's
house was a long, narrow strip Of old
fashioned garden, protected from the
neighDoring ground by high walls of
faded brick, against which pear and
plum trees stretched their spreading
branches. Its central grass plot, soft
~ velvet 10 the tread, and restful and
refreshing to the eye; it's sanded paths
with their border beds now bright with

one end; its apple trees growing close

The news Mackworth received from
the Partisan police that Marco Mezza
had returned to the French capital al
the n OF July, and had Quilted X
again ON the day succeeding that on
which David Dumbarton had departed
for England, came as a surprise 10 the
inspector. For in the first place ii
proved thai Pietro's statement regard
ing Mcgza's movements was true. ana
in the second IL formed an unexpected
link In the association OF this man with
the tragedy OF the Hixton road.

main in Mackworth's mind regarding

Blaine and Sherman.

Judge D. K. Watson, of Ohio, for
merly a member of congress, but now
a member of the commission to codify
the laws, tells in the Baltimore Amer
lean story Of how one day he called
on Mr. Blaine, when he was secretary
Of state, to make a speech at Lam
caster, o. Mr.. Blaine became remin-
iscent when he heard the name of the
town.
II taught school once at Lancaster,
when l was little more than a boy" he
said. "It was summer school and
one hot day, when half my pupils were
asleep, and the other half SO restless
that wished they, too, were asleep,
I sat at my desk half asleep myself.
Looking out of the window 1 saw two
big boys coming up the road. 1 knew
them, and knew exactly from previous
experience what they were up to. I
watched them, determined that If either
of them tried any of their FRANKS
there would be two boys getting a
thrashing that afternoon.
1t was favorite trick of theirs to
come up to the school and suddenly
lean in thru the window, pull one of
the scholars by the hair until he
screamed and then run away and
laugh. The boys came up to the win
dow and leaned in. and a-s they did so
I jumped for them, so that they ran
away. Those boys were named, re-
spectively, William Tecumseh Sher-
man and John Sherman.
"The next time I saw Secretary
Sherman" said Judge Watson, Il told
him that story of how near he came
to being thrashed by Mr.. James G.
Blaine, Mr.. Sherman became renlin-
iscent.
"Do you know" he said, that wheD
Judge Ewing adopted my brother Will
liam and sent him to West Point ev-
erybody was amazed that he did not
send me instead Of Bill as everybody
called him, for was the fighter of the
family. Lancaster in the days of my
boyhood consisted really of two towns
North Lancaster and South Lancas-
ter. 1 had, by whipping every boy of
my size in North Lancaster, gradually
become the bully of our village and a
blacksmith's son had by the same
process become the bully of South
Lancaster. 1t was inevitable that
sooner or later we two champions
must meet and fight 1t out. So one
Saturday afternoon we went outside
the town and got ready for the fight.
Both of US stripped to the waist and
we had just squared off for the first
blow when my brother-in-law, who
was mayor of the town, drove up in
a buggy. The first thing / knew
felt the sting of his buggy whip a
cross my bare shoulders and then he
took me by the scruff of the neck, and
dragging me over the buggy, told me
that what l had just got was only
foretaste of what would get when

tanned badly mashed foot. He was
removed to Morbonia hospital, where
