CHAPTER XII

The rain was coming down In torrents,
and there was a general expression of
disappointment on the mems faces round
the breakfast table at Mallingford Park.
but you know it is really too bad"
Cecil Danesford observed to Miss Mall
ing. Your head man had fixed to-day
for the north end covers and he says
they are the best on the whole estate
and now this rain comes and spoils the
whole thing. 1t is annoying, you must
allow"
Poor creatures-menw said the Hon.
Miss Collins, refiectively THE comfort
of their lives depends upon the one
amusement of the hour. Deprive them
of that and they are stranded helplessly.
Glad I'm womanr'

Pauline interposed bringing the CONVEX
sation back to the original object.
''Why by the 18th 2" several asked.

Bertha Collins leaned across, and look
ed at the place he was pointing at.
How extraordinary! she exclaimed
"For PHYS sake, let us into the mys.
terry" Pauline said; and Bertha read out
the following advertisement:
'Mallingford Park-If this should
meet the eye of Sir G. NJ, he will hear
of something to his decided advantage
by applying to Messrs. DAVIS & Raven

There was general establishment and
various were the surmises as to what
it could mean. Jack, glancing at Pau,
line, was surprised to see her agitated
and white to the lips. She motioned tc
him not to notice it, and fought deter
minedly with her emotion. The Others
were too much absorbed by their curiosity
to take much heed, and she bore herself
as usual until breakfast was finished.
''Will you help Mrs. Seton aud m,
to finish filling in the cards for the sew
enteenth ?" she asked Jack, as she left
the breakfast room.
Jack promised to join them in the
boudOir in a quarter of an hour. He die

She began methodically to remove ev-
cry article singly, placing them neatly
in heap on the table, after reading or
looking at them. Then she turned to the
other side, going through it In the same
way, and reached the bottom without
discovering anything more than is usually
to be found in a lady's desk. With dis
appointed air, she began to replace the
articles, when Miss Malling's address
book fell from her shaking hand on to
the floor.
She stopped to pick it up as it lay
open; and, in doing so, she saw the edge
Of photograph peeping from the pocket
in the cover. She took it out hurriedly,
scattering, as she did SO, some dead
pressed violets on to the table. She
shuddered when she raised the tissue
paper, for it was the photograph Of a
grave!
She went to the dressing table, where
the candles were still burning, to read
the name of the photographer at the
back of the card. The printing was in a
language she did not understand; but she
guessed it must be Spanish. She turned
to the picture again, and in the strong
light she could almost make out part
of the inscription on the plain headstone
The first name, she was sure, began with
the letter "P.' In order to assist her
she procured Miss Malling's magnifying
glass, and, with the aid Of that, she
spelled out the name, or as much of it
as she could see.
"P-a-u-l-i-n-e" she could clearly trace;
then came.a blot, followed by '1-l-in-g
d-i-e-d May 18-." The remainder OF
the inscription was undistinguishable.
Il never expected this! The grave OF
Pauline Mailing! Then who is my mis-
tress? An adventuress-a usurper! And
shall have hand in dethroning herr
She wiped the perspiration from her
white, Quivering face, placed the photo
grab In her dress, and locked the desk.

$2,000,000 in moneys in the shape Of
mortuary and reserve funds, which the

America and the Modern Woodmen Of
America, fraternal insurance organiza-

were subject to taxation. u as 55
AS soon as the assessment was made,
opposition at once developed on the
part of officials Of the organizations.
This city is the headquarters Of the
Modern Brotherhood and also the home
Of G. III. McNider, supreme treasurer
of the Modern Woodmen. The report
Of the state auditor showed that the
Wondmen had in reserve, or what they
term their mortuary fund, l,847 900,
and the Modern Brotherhood claims a
reserve fund Of $247, 1884, making a
total of 1904 IA, on deposit in tho
banks of this city to the credit of the
two orders.
Thru their attorney the Brotherhood
the attention Of the city council and
served notice that formal objection
would be fled later. The council will
sit as a reviewing board for the next
two weeks, during which time the mat
ter will be. settled. The assessment
has created, much interest,". and the
Modern Brotherhood threatens to move
it's headquarters from this city if the
assessment is insisted upon. s

Winnipeg, Man, April THE street

The men asked for an advance Of 2

this morning this was accepted, giving
the strikers partial victory IN the
main claim. The demands for recogni-

2ssA year ago we started out on a
movement of reform, trying to do the
best we could to keep these places
within the law. During the latter part Of
the fall and the early part of thewinter;I
learned that the liquor dealers had.
formed compact to obey the law.
Now anyone who disobeys the laws
will be punished among themselves,
and besides this the saloonkeepers will
ask the council to revoke the license
of such person.
Because the retail liquor dealers
have drafted this paper is no sign that
the city will shirk its duty in the mat
ter. They are now on record, and in
case they violate the law, we have
their agreement before us. These men
understand the consequences. The cir

there will be very little leniency in this

Ry w. w, Jermane,

Washington, April 7.-While the
friends Of free alcohol are, not taking
anything for granted, and are disposed
to speak rather softly, they are E be-
ginning to realize that there is pos
sibility that their bill may become a
law at this session Of congress. .
The bill will come up in the house
Of representatives within the next ten
days, and be passed under suspension
Of the rules, with as little opposition
as the rate bill encountered in. that
body. It will then 60 to the senate,
and the hope for legislation :'at this

been made, has to. do; only with the

The. senate has not yet considered
the bill, not even informally. for all
legislation affecting the revenues must
originate in the lower house. The sen
ate will not have the question before
it, in any way, therefore, until after
the house has acted. -
-, Public Demands Bill.
Sentiment over the country is so
overwhelmingly in favor of the legis-
lation that the friends Of free alcohol
do not see how the senate can refuse to
act. Chairman Payne Of the house
committee, in his report on the bill,
says that the demand for the legisla-
tion is "well nigh universal. ~ He
speaks with authority, for his commit
tee had the public hearings, land has
received the thousands Of petitions
from all parts Of the land in favor of
the bill. .....-....,,...-.-.
Tha.smost encouraging feature Of the
situation is the, attitude of the wood
alcohol people, who have baen the
chief opponents of the legislation.
These people have quit arguing against
the passage Of the bill, and are now
saying that it ought not, in Justice to
them, to 20 into effect until twelve
months after it's passage. The pending
bill says three months, which the wood
alcohol people say is not long enough
for them to adapt themselves to the
changes which the new law will make.
-. Senate May Amend.
It is just possible that the senate,
provided the bill is to pass there this
session, will amend it so as to meet
the wishes Of the wood alcohol people,
and if it does, the house will accept
the amendment. : SIS z
The friends Of this legislation have,
some Of them, been. working for it for
forty years, or longer, and they feel
that they can afford to wait another
year, provided that, by thus waiting
they can secure the passage Of the bill
