mand a view OF all the rooms on his hall. In two of those rooms
re bade tair to be greatly interested, Mrs. Dec having remarked
that they were being prepared for a lady who was coming that night.
AS he had no doubt who this lady was, he encouraged the good w-
man to talk, and presently had the satisfaction of hearing her say
that she was very happy over this ladys coming, as she was a Sit
ford girl one of the old family Of Hazens, and though married now
and very rich, was much loved by every one in town because she
had never forgotten Sidord or Sitford people.
She was comingi He had made no mistake. And this was the
place OF her birth, just as he had decided when he saw that long
line of Oxenl He realized how fortunate he was, or rather how in
debted he was to Mr. Harper, since in this place only could he hope
to gain satisfaction on the moOted point raised by that same gentle
man. Il She had been born here, so had her twin sister; so had the
brother whose claims lay counter to that sisters. Both must have
been known to these people, their persons, their history and the
circumstances of their supposed deaths. The clews thus afforded
must prove invaluable to him. From them he must soon be able
to ascertain in which story to place faith and which claimant to be-
heve. He might have Intercepted his hostess, but feared to show
his interest in the supposed stranger. He preferred to wait a few
hours and gather his facts from other lips.
Meantime it raned.

CHAPTER VIII.
ELIMINATION.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon Mr.. Ransom left his room.
lie had been careful almost from his first arrival to sit with his
door ajar. he had, therefore, only to give it a slight push and walk
out when he heard the hustle of preparation going on in the two
rooms in whose future occupancy he was so vitality interested. A
rnaie stood in the hall. A man within was pushing about furniture
The 1andlady was giving orders. His course downstairs did not lead
him so far as those rooms, Sc he called out pleasantly:

better climb the hill"
"Where the cemetery isP" he asked.
Eyes; do you object to cemeteries? Ours is thought to be very
interesting We have stones there whose inscriptions T a hun
dred and fifty years old. But it's bad day to walk amongst graves.
Perhaps you had better go east Pm sorry we should have such a
storm on your first day. Must you go outF'
He forced a suffering look into his eyes, and insisting that moth
ing but outdoor air would help him when he had a headache, hast
ened Downstairs and 50 out A binding gust seized him as he
faced the hill, but he drew down his umbrella and hurried on. He
had a purpose in following her suggestion as to a walk in this direc-
ton. Dark as the grasses were, he meant to search the cemetery
for the graves OF the Hazens and see what he could learn from them.
He met three persons on his way, all of whom turned to look at
him. This was in the village. On the hillside he met nobody. Wind
and rain and mud were all; desoaion in the prospect and all but
desOation in his heart At the brow he first caught sight Of the
broken stone wall which separated the old burying place from the
road. There lay his path. Happily he could tread it unnOGced and
unmatched. There was no one. within sight, high or low.
He spent a half hour among the tOmbs before he struck the name
he was looking for. Another ten minutes before he found those
of his wies family. Then he had his reward. On a low. brown
shaft he read the names Of father and mother, and beneath them the
fQ1OvinC lines.

The twin! Georgian was mad. This record showed that her
little sister lay here. Amtra-yes, that was the name of her other
half He remembered it we'll. Georgian had mentioned it to him
more than once And this child, this Anitra, had been buried here
for fifteen years.
Deeply indignant at his wifes duphcity, he took a look at the
opposite side of the shaft, where still another surprise awaited him.
Here was the record Of the brother; the brother he had so lately
talked to and who had seemingly proven his claim to the name he
now read:

An odd inscription opening up cOnJectures of the most curious

the time, it was the possibility underlying the simple statement,
Lost at sea. This, as the wry-necked man had said, admitted of a
possible resurrection. Here was no body. 4 mound showed where
Anitra had been laid away; a little mound smmounted by a head
stone carved with her name. But only these few words gave evil
dence of the young mans death, and inscriptions of this nature are
sometimes false.
