ing him to look in upon the family
sitting-room. u
The week following it was hermetic-
ally closed, but Constance more than
once caught glimpse of the detected
figure, and she thought of speaking to
her uncle to desire the man to go
away. One evening he stood outside
in pouring rain gazing at the house
long after the curtains were down,
until Mrs. Hamilton grew deeply vexed
with his folly.
ut must be stopped" she said to
herself, decidedly, and she concluded
to go over and talk with Mrs. Fry.
Perhaps she could learn something
which would explain his strange be-
havior.
A man sat by the stove holding a
little boy, while Mrs. Fry hustled
about frying doughnuts.
you jest walk right into the settin'-
room, Mis- Hamilton, an I'll be in in
jiffy."
Constance walked through, but not
without seeing that the man was the
same she had seen in church, and she
recognized the fact with a momentary
tremor.
AS for the man himself, he looked
with an eager regard that seemed to
pierce the door beyond which she had
disappeared. The child set up dis
contented roar, which recalled him to
his task, for Mrs. Fry had set little
Johnny in his lap, asking him to mind
him while she fried her doughnuts.
The man resumed the jingling of his
keys and the child was quiet. Finally
the hot lard kettle was put away, and
with a capable swoop of her arm the
boy transferred from the mans arm
to her own, and moment later Mrs.
Fry appeared in the sitting-room
where her visitor was.
"A poor creetur as ever was" she
said to Mrs. Hamilton, with back
ward sweep to her head, indicating
the man in the room she had left.

CHAPTER vIII-continued.

AS Constance settled herself in her
seat she felt angry with herself at her
folly, and put the matter from her
thoughts as she bowed her head in
prayer a moment later. God was her
only refuge now. Though He had seen
fit to try her in the fires of affection,
she would have faith that all would
come right sometime. somewhere; not
in this world, but in the next.
And back of her, though she did not
know it, two eager eyes were fixed on
her bowed head and white neck, while
his lips whispered in dazed manner
to himself, Beautiful!
Finally, emotion gaining the mas
terry, he whispered to Dan Fry, who
sat nearest, who is that?"
mis- Hamilton" said Dan, frown-
ing and turning away as he thought,
Like enough never went to meetin'
afore."
But the man showed no disposition
to offend further by whispering in
church, and Dams displeasure was
soon appeased. Dan never left his
pew until Mrs. Hamilton passed down
the aisle after service, from natural
obeisance to her superior claims on
his family and personal admiration as
well. AS she came gracefully down
the aisle in her lustreless black silk
gown and black bonnet the stranger
gazed eagerly into her face with
pair of eyes so like, yet so unlike,
her husbands, that she grew faint for
a moment But she rallied instantly
and nodded pleasantly to Dan while
she allowed her gaze to rest a moment
on his companion.
AS Clare brushed by the stranger
put out his hand and touched her curls
In lingering, caressing fashion that
amazed and offended Dan, who, how
ever, could say nothing in church. But
Glare resented it in her own fashion
by drawing herself up haughtily and
looking him full in the face, at which
he shrank back humbly.
Happening to glance back at Clare,
Mrs. Hamilton saw the look and pit
led him, for. she was so constituted

Stunned the Secretary.

When Richard Olney was secretary
of state he frequently gave expression
to the opinion that appointees to the
consular service should speak the
language of the countries to which
they were respectively accredited.
1t is said that when a certain
breezy and enterprising western poll
tician who was DESTROYS of serving
the Cleveland administration in the
capacity of consul at one of the
Chinese ports presented his papers to
Mr.. Olney, the secretary remarked:
"Are you aware, Mr.. Blank, that
never recommend to the president the
appointment of a consul unless he
speaks the language Of the country to
which he desires to go? Now, l sup
pose, you do not speak Chinese?"
Wherupon the westerner grinned
broadly. "If, Mr.. Secretary" said he'll
you will ask me question in Chinesel
I shall be happy to answer It,"
He got the appointment-New

who is he?"
ooh, he's one of the mill men that
boards here; ben here most three
weeks"
What sort of man is he?"
well, he amt quite so bright as
some men, mebbe, but he seems dread
full good-hearted. He'll do anything l
ask him, hold Johnny by the hour, but
if didn't put him in his arms straight
he'd just as quick hold him upside

do you think he colors his hair or
wears a wig?" asked Constance, with
sudden recollection of her first agita-
ton at seeing him at church.
mo, indeed; he don't care enough
for his looks to color his hair, an
most certain he hain't no wig on, for
see him comb it every day by the
little glass in the kitchen there"
Mrs. Hamilton did not Immediately
take her leave as she at first intended,
but, instead, asked Mrs. Fry If she
knew the mans name.
mo, l don't" said Mrs. Fry, with a
puzzled air.
why, how is that? Did he give you
no name when he came?"
HE said his name was Primus Edes,
and l don't believe any man ever had
a name like that"
"Oh, that is not so very odd name,
Primus Edes. knew family once
names Edes."
did you, now? But what's his
clothes marked H. A. for If that's his
name? Not as he's a man to be sus-
picious Of"
Are his clothes marked H. Az"
YES, they be, what is marked.
There's a handkerchief an a shirt"
1T may be some one gave them to
him."
Eyes, so they might. Dan thought
he might "a snapped with some other
man. They do sometimes, sech folks"
THAT may be the secret Of It," said
Mrs. Hamilton, rising to go. "If he
should be sick let me know, and will
send over anything you may lack for
his comfort To tell the truth, this
man interests me strangely, for in
some way he reminds me Of my hus-
band. does not he you?"

that she could never bear to see any
one humbled or hurt. She therefore
took occasion to reprove Clare going
home.
"You should never be naughty, par
ticularly to one not so well placed as
yourself, my dear. The man meant
no harm, l am quite sure. No doubt
he loves children and your hair looked
pretty to him."
HE may look at it then, but don't
care to have common person like
him touch my hair" replied Clare,
quite unmollified, and drawing herself
up in a dignified fashion.
"Clare," asked her mother, hesitat
lngly, "did he resemble your papa in
any way, do you Think"
mo, should say not" said Clare;
my father was very handsome
man."
The strange man she saw in church
fingered in her thoughts during the
week, and was no doubt pinned there
by a strange circumstance that came
to her notice on Tuesday evening. AS
she drew the curtains at nightfall be-
fore lighting the lamps she saw a man
standing directly under tall tree that
stood in the yard, which was fence
less, and about a rod from the win
dow. He appeared to be looking d.
rectly in, but as soon as the curtains
were drawn he shrank back, slowly
turned away, and walked down the
street. This Mrs. Hamilton saw by
holding the drapery a little one side
and Speering out. She was convinced
that the man was no other than the
one she remarked at church. A slight
uualm of fear came over her mo-
ment; he seemed to be such humble
and pathetic figure as he timidly
touched little Clare's hair. that she
could not fear him. And again dawned
before her intelligence the sure II
slight resemblance he bore to her hus-
band.
Sunday he was at church again, and
as for one moment their eyes met,
Constance fancied a new intelligence

"Bless your soul, no, not one mite!
said Mrs. Fry, turning a wondering
gaze upon her visitor.
"The resemblance Is not STRIKING,
perhaps, but it exists" said Constance,

CHAPTER TX.
Liqht or Dark?

Light or DarkY
Was It witchwork, the sort OF magic
! to which Mrs. Fry referred, that kept
| Primus Edes SO much in the mind OF
| Mrs. Hamilton during the wees, or
some esoteric influence OF which she
was alone conscious and of so subtle a
nature that she dare not entertain 1t?
Did she think her husband, Vane Ham
ilton, would sneak back to Grovedale,
disguised, go to work as laborer IN
his own mill board with woman he
knew, and attract attention to himselr
by watching his own house? Could
anything be more foolish, more futile,
If concealment was desired? II not
desired, the course was palpably more
foolish still. :.
Constance knew all this, but she
was strangely fascinated by the mans
personality, SO like her husbands, she
imagined. In few days, as she saw
nothing of the person, she decided to
call on Mrs. Fry and inquire whether
he was still confined to the house.
So with tumbler of currant jelly Mrs.
Hamilton approached the little house
one morning.
Some jelly for your boarder if he is
still sick, if not, for Yourself" said
Constance to Mrs. Fry when she
opened the door.
'Lor', now, how thoughtful you al.
ways be! But Edes is better'n and
gone to work. He's ben real sick,
though not so sick but he'd gone off
to walk last night, if Dan hadn't
follered an fetched i'm back"
MRS. Fry, l wish Dan would just
look after him little in gentle way,
you know, and not let him come to my
house."
Your house! You don't say he
never went to your house?"
Just into the yard, Mrs. Fry, and
under the trees, where he stands look
ing in at the sitting room windows.
think he took a fancy to Glare at
church, that is ALL But, you see, am
just little uneasy"
Sure enough, an no wonder;
though as you say he don't most likely
mean no harm. Wall, Danll see to
that, Mis- Hamilton"
Eyes, Dan is very kind; and tell him,
please, not to let Mr.. Edes know that
l said anything about it,"
ooh, Dan will know what to do"
"And now, Mrs. Fry, l want to tell
you something that l don't want you
to mention to any one. l have perfect
confidence in you"
"An' wall you may have. Wild
horses wouldn't git out of me anything
you didn't want told"
well, it is this. l am constantly
haunted by this mans resemblance to
my husband, though no one else seems
to see it. see this man as he would
right form, in my imagination, you
know, and then he looks like Vane."
But his hair amt light, Mis- Hamil-

the resemblance will not trouble me.
Doesn't he color his hair? l will sit
here, and you look for bottle Of hair

81 think you had better come, too,
and then you will be sure that I've
searched thorough" said Mrs. Fry, and
Constance, though not without hesita-
tation, arose and followed her to the
apartment occupied by Primus Edes.
A small, sparsely furnished room
met her gaze, but it was neatly kept,
and Mrs. Fry surveyed it with some
pride.
