CHAPTER XXIv.--( (Continued.)
"Tell me what has happened and
Lady Charlotte paused only for an In
stant before she answered:
"A letter has come to me--a letter writ
ten by a strange man, signed by name
that / have never heard Of before. This
Is the letter, Antonia read what 1t says !;
The letter commenced:
ssTo the Lady Charlotte Singleton:
Madame" 1t ran, .'for some time past
you have been laboring under great mis-
take. A few years ago You lived IN
little house close to Oxford. In this house
you kept a safe containing some magnifi-
cent jewelry. The secret of the safe was
known only to yourself and, as you sup
posed to one other person who came to
your house. Therefore, when these jewels
were stolen suspicion naturally fell upon
that one other person who was supposed
to possess the key to the situation. i have
been silent all this time, madame, because
It has suited my purpose TO be so, but now
have no hesitation in speaking out the
truth. The jewels you lost were not stol-
eli by Hubert Tenby-no. not even though
q portion of them was found in his rooms
at Oxford the thief was one whom you
have honored with your regard and your
friendship. / leave you to guess his name.
He did not act alone in this matter. He
was assisted by myself therefore you will
understand that l am not inventing any
statement that Is put forward in this let
Ger. / believe Hubert Tenby to be a
young man Of blameless character little
hot-headed, perhaps, with, in his Oxford
days, perfectly natural tendency to be
extravagant. But such faults as these
are hot sufficient to damn a mans whole
life. and therefore / hope you may give
voice to the sentiment ! now express
namely, that trust justice may be rem
dered to Hubert Tenby and to the man
who enriched himself, and myself at your
cost.
II am, madame, your obedient servant,
GEORGE STANTON"
Antonia, when she came TO the end Of
this letter, was trembling. The tears that
she had denied herself so long rushed from
her like some mighty food.
With a cry she sank on her knees be-
side Lady Charlotte and buried her face
on the older woman's knee; but 1t was
only for a very brief time that Antonia
gave way to the wildness of that joy that
swept her through and through. She re-
membered what this letter must signify to
this gentle, suffering woman. Indeed, when
she lifted her head after that one most
natural ouSSurst of emotion, the girl had
a quick pang of self-reproach at her heart,
for, looking upon Lady Charlotte, she saw
that the strain had been too much and
that the invalid had tainted.

CHAPTER xXv.

Ben Coop had passed en- after that
brief glimpse of Gerald Tenby driving to
the station. He had made his way to the
Metropolitan line and had taken his
ticket, as he had been advised, for a GER
tain station that would land him near to
the address furnished by Stephens.
He drew near the first house and stop
ped to look at the name painted in dim
letters on the gate, and he realized that
the information that Stephens had given
him was certainly correct, for here stood
the shabby little house which the ex-ser-
vapt had told him to look for.
Ben saw small. broad woman, dressed
In black, with big white apron covering
her, and he drew back into the shadows
a little as he saw that she was coming
slowly down the path toward the gate.
AS she drew nearer he could see her
clearer. She was evidently working
woman, common enough looking person.
Acting on an impulse that was rare to
him. Ben Coop determined to speak to her.
Sarah gave a li.tle gasping cry.
Master George" was her exclamation.
Then she saw her mistake. Have you
come from him7 Have you brought me
a message?" she asked.
LET me in" said Ben, gently, II wish
to speak to thee"
The woman stood with her rough, work
utained hands clasped against her heart.
"Where do you come fromT she asked
"What are you doing here?"
.'You serve man called George Stan
ton: what do you know of him?"
"For years have served the Stantons.
j took Master George when he was born.
Ny whole life has been given in devotion
TO this family; am / to turn and give
an account of those love to the first one
that comes by and questions? Yes, serve
George Stanton. love him." the woman
said, her voice trembling. Il love him,
no matter what he has DONE"
This time she turned, went resolutely
Into the house and closed the door, and
as Ben stood and listened to the rattle
of the chain put back in its place, as the
echo of her words rang in his ears, he
<elt his heart thrill and throb.
Lady Elizabeth Marchmont was pros
trated by the shock and horror of the ter
Gible experience through which she had
passed.
She had been carried to the house of a
very great parsonage near by, and moth
sing could exceed the care and the at
tenti0n bestowed upon her.

The fates are already determined.

Two years ago Col. Heaton, who
has his ear to the ground, and who
through long experience knows just
how the public pulse is beating, made
IL guess on the results. He guessed 1t
within fifty to seventy.five votes on
every candidate and as a result he at
once was the recognized political
prognostlcator.
When the reporter called on him
yesterday to get the figures he re-
marked that this being an of year
and perhaps a little offer than usual
he couldn't place the majorities at the
nattering figures he would like to.
But he said that he wanted to live Up

He thought that he was a little too

have since looked over Col. Heaton's
figures say that If indications are
right the colonel wasn't aiming too

ers to cut out lis list of maiorities and
see how close he came to If after It's

PEcTs BIG VOTE.


CHARLESTON. Oct. 81. - Hon.
Charles W. swisher. secretary of
state, who has recently returned from
an extended trip in the northern part
Of the State, predicts a sweeping Re
publican victory at the election on
November 6; and does not hesitate
to give the figures to back ap his
statements. I'VE will be surprised"
he says, "at the big vote polled and
the size OF the Republican matorities.
"The Democrats Of the nation are
without an ISSUE" he continued, land
they are in the same fixe in West vir-
ginla. While Hearst is posing as a
Democrat in New York and seeking
election on the Democratic ticket for
governor his papers are fighting the
Organization in Illinois and caifor.
MIA.
AS to the situation in this State
Secretary swisher says there is no
occasion for alarm about the Repub.
licans not going to the polls. In all
the counties he visited the apathy
that prevailed in the earlier days of
the campaign has entirely disappear.
ed,
Secretary swisher claims the cleo
ton of Ave Republican congressman
by big majorities. In the First lis
trict, Mr.. Hubbard has proved mag
netic candidate. He has worked in.
defatigably and has inspired others
to do the same. The district is thor
oughly organized and on the other
hand the Democrats are demoralized.
In the Second district, Secretary
Swisher says Mr.. Sturgiss is making
whfrlwind campaign and will win
with hands down. In the Fourth Har.
ny woodward will receive an old time
majority and int he Third Mr.. Gaines
will win by record breaking vote.
He also predicts a record making ma.
jcrfty for Mr.. Hughes III the Fifth. He
estimates the Republican majorities in
the FIVE districts as follows:
First, 5000 to 1000.
Second, $500 to $500.
Third, 400 to $500.
Forth, 5000 to $500.
Fifth, 5000 to 5000.
1.-THE Republicans will have at least
81 of the 116 members of the House
and Senate" Secretary Swlsher pre-
diets. "There are 12 counties that
might be termed doubtful, but of these
the Republicans are almost certain to
win in eight. There will not be more
than "a Democrats in both Houses
The Republicans will have "a Of the
80 Senator's"

rotary swisher,s prediction as to the
results for members of the Legislature
