this, his adventures evincng most
daring nature and great nerve and de-
termination. Granted he had fled to
Grovedale to evade pursuit. disguised
himself to appear as slightly dement,
ed and as a common workman, it was
not too much to believe of such man
that he had become infatuated with
Mrs. Hamilton and sought to claim
her as his wife. basing his actions on
her attitude toward her returned hus-
band and his slight resemblance to
the latter. Then, too, the shot fired
on Mr.. Hamiton's premises might
well have been done by his own hand
to evidence his own assertion that the
design was to get rid of him and his
claims, which would suggest that
Hamilton did it himself.
Dr. Peck was no lawyer, nor did he
reckon himself particularly astute,
but as he sat there facts and deduc
tions evolved themselves with start
ling force and rapidity, mingling and
commingling in the widest confusion
until his brain seemed bursting.
Strange how dormant ideas start into
being and range themselves Slue Dy
side to do battle for or against a start
ling assertion. A luminous path seem
ed open to his vision, leading straight
to the time when Vane Hamilton left
home in the first place, and he saw
clearly the long line of events since
then down to this strange declaration
lust made to him. Back of it all was
deep, dark mystery. Villainy was
there, sorrow could not be far distant.
and for every one concerned in the
matter there would be suspense mad
dening and extreme.
Indignation arose in his heart to-
ward the man before him. 1t became
in an instant too deep for expression,
and he arose without speaking an
other word and left the house.

for the wedding fetes is the historic field
on which the Moore camped, now trans

gardens OF versailles Recently $1,000
trees have been planted of various vari-
cites, 1000 palm trees and l5,cOo rose

LA GRANJA
The castle which Alfonso and his queen
have chosen for their honeymoon is the
Spanish Versailles, known as Ia Granja,
a quaint and quiet spot, far removed from
the inquisitive throngs OF the capitol. and
with all the picturesque and romantic
surroundings suitable for royal honey
moon. The palace is situated at the 2, foot ,G
Of the imposing Pico de Penalara IN the
Guadarrama mountains, high above the
sea level. The little village dates from
ancient times. when Henry ~. built n
chapel there and dedicated IL TO st. llde-
fonso.
La Granja is at its best at this time of
year, and the blossoms, the old trees. the
myrtle lanes. the fountains and the fresh
mountain air will all serve 10 make this
royal honeymoon a delight. The castle
overlooks the park, with its numerous
cascades and lakes. supplied with water
are the most remarkable feature OF La
Granja. and the effect OF the fountains Is
much more grand than at Versailles.
