It has been authoritatively stated that plans are now at hand for the erection of a seven-story law building by W. A. Blount. at the corner of Gar den and Palafox Street, occupying the site of the three-story building recent ly destroyed by fire. The building will probably be known as the Law Building, as it is the desire of the own CT to have all of the attorneys of the city to locate there. and have a central law library. The building will be the largest in the city and thoroughly flre- proof. It is expected that the work of eXcavating will commence during the early portion of next week, and will be pushed rapidly, as the owner wishes to have it completed at the earliest possible time.

CHAPTER vlll.-continued.

Gil being wrapped in his thoughts
and his pipe, l bethought me OF the
letter given me by my father. l had
been so busy getting ready and occu-
pied with one thing and another that
l had barely read it. 1t had a great
interest for me. / had placed it in an
envelope, sealed, and marked it with
b word Private" Then l had put
1t carefully away in an inside pocket
of~my coat.
Some man-possibly he might be
dead-when he wrote those few words
on that slip of paper committed as
foul a crime as any in the category of
sins. Should I ever run him down, and
he be living, / would remember my
father and my hand should not fall
lightly. I wondered If perchance there
was anything about the paper over
looked by which the perpetrator might
be discovered. l would take it out
again and examine it more closely
infinitely.
put my hand into my pocket, which
was a deep one; 1t was empty, void as
the air. l gasped with establishment.
All! no doubt heedlessly I had
changed it to another pocket. 1 began
q search for it. Nc use, it was gone.

You remember at the White Swan,
when Jock brought in your coat
brushed and dried he laid 1t down on
a chair. In your eagerness to see the
ladies into their magenta colored
coach you did not put it on until you
returned to the room after their de-
p~arture. I also went out, but I came
back again to see pretty Alice Lyn-

miles from the inn. I told her in q
few words, but to the point, to give
up what she had stolen or be taken
back to the constable, who, no doubt
was quite ready to resume operations
where they had been cut off, and this
time she could come in for her share
since she had winked at a prisoners
escape. She cried-she- My God

THE ROLL IN THE ROLL.
True Use Of the Pompadour Disclosed
In a Railroad Dining Car.

In a Railroad Dining Car.
I'VE live to learn" said the travel
inc man. For the past four or Eve
years | have admired the pompadour
style of dressing woman's hair; but
until recently 1t had occurred
to me that this mode OF arranging
the locks might possess practical
utility as well.
1T was in the diner Of a train about
an hour out Of Chicago when I per-
ceived a particularly stylish brunette
with a girl friend sitting at the table
lust ahead of me. What especially
caught my eye was the mass Of beau
tiful hair piled up IN that girls head.
while the arrangement Of 1t was
entirely becoming to the comely
young woman, yet I'll venture to say
that her pompadour rose to the height
of some eight inches from the fore
head.
"The two young women had about
finished their dinner when l entered
the car and were fumbling In theiI
purses for the wherewithal to pay fol
the meal. Between them they man
aged to rake up some sc cents.
"eWell observed the stunning
brunette with the big pompadour, Il
looks like I shall have to go into mJ
ROLL
"And with that the glorious creature
calmly removed her hat, ran her nm
gers through the mass OF dusky hal
and fshed out a bundle OF money.
""There,' she exclaimed when tn
operation had been completed, I hay'
1t. always carry my money In m,
hair when I'm travelling. It's so mucl
safer than any other way"
