The strange man she saw in church
fingered in her thoughts during the
week, and was no doubt pinned there
by a strange circumstance that came
to her notice on Tuesday evening. AS
she drew the curtains at nishtfall be
fore lighting the lamps she saw man
standing directly under tall tree that
stood in the yard, which was fence
less, and about a rod from the win
dow. He appeared to be looking di-
rectly in, but as soon as the curtains
were drawn he shrank back. slowly
turned away, and walked down the
street This Mrs. Hamilton saw by
holding the drapery a little one side
and peering out. She was convinced
that the man was no other than the
one she remarked at church. slight
qualm of fear came over her a mo-
ment; he seemed to be such humble
and pathetic figure as he timidly
touched little Clare's hair. that she
could not fear him. And again dawned
before her intelligence the sure If
slight resemblance he bore to her hus-
band.
Sunday he was at church again, and
as for one moment their eyes met,
Constance fancied new intelligence
in his, as If he would establish con.
nection between them. She immedi-
ately decided that henceforth the cur.
tains of her sitting-room should be
drawn as usual
But what did it mean, that look?
Constance pondered over 1t during the
week, 1t was so strange and inexpli
.ble. An intense. dazed. questioning

Mrs. Hamilton did not Immediately
take her leave as she at first intended,
but. instead, asked Mrs. Fry if she
knew the mans name.
No | don't" said Mrs. Fry. with a
puzzled air.
why, how is that? Did he give you
no name when he came?"
He said his name was Primus Edes.

CHAPTER VllI-Continued.

AS Constance settled herself in her
seat she felt angry with herself at her
folly, and put the matter from her
thoughts as she bowed her head in
prayer a moment later. God was her
only refuge now. Though He had seen
fit to try her in the fires of atiliction,
she would have faith that all would
come right sometime. somewhere; not
In this world, but in the next.
And back of her. though she did not
know it, two eager eyes were fixed on
her bowed head and white neck, while
his lips whispered in a dazed manner
to himself, Beautiful"
Finally, emotion gaining the mas
terry, he whispered to Dan Fry, who
sat nearest, who is that?"
Mis- Hamilton" said Dan, frown-
Ing and turning away as he thought,
Like enough never went to meetin'
afore."
But the man showed no disposition
to offend further by whispering in
church, and Dams displeasure was
soon appeased. Dan never left his
pew until Mrs. Hamilton passed down
Ine aisle after service, from natural
obeisance to her superior claims on
his family and personal admiration as
well. AS she came gracefully down
the 4isle in her lustreless black silk
gown and black bonnet the stranger
gazed eagerly into her face with a
pair of eyes so like, yet so unlike,
her husbands. that she grew faint for
4 moment. But she rallied instantly
and nodded pleasantly to Dan while
she allowed her gaze to rest moment
on his companion.
AS Clare brushed by the stranger
put out his hand and touched her curls
In lingering, caressing fashion that
amazed and offended Dan, who, how
ever, could say nothing in church. But
Clare resented it in her own fashion
by drawing herself up haughtily and
looking him full in the face, at which
he shrank back humbly.
Happening to glance back at Glare,
Mrs. Hamilton saw the look and pit
led him, for she was SO constituted

A Remarkable Postscript.

Miss Carey Thomas. the president of
Bryn Mawr college talked at a lunch
con about the ingenuousness Of chill
dren.
"a friend Of mine" she said. "once
showed me letter that her little son
had written her from Andover. The
letter ran like this:
"'Dear Mother. | am well and
hope you are well. Will you please
send me 81? ! know the last did rot
last long. but 1t is all spent now. and
reed 81 badly. hope You are we'll
I am well. Please do not forget So
"Then there was this nostsc-ipt:
"I was so ashamed to ask for
monev so soon after the last you sent
that sent after the postman to ret
this letter back, but 1t was too late;
he was gone.'"

CHAPTER TX.
Light or Dark?

Was 1t witchwork, the sort of magic
to which Mrs. Fry referred, that kept
Primus Edes so much in the mind of
Mrs. Hamilton during the week, Or
| some esoteric influence of which she
was alone conscious and of so subtle
nature that she dare not entertain it ?
Did she think her husband, Vane Ham
ilton, would sneak back to Grovedsle,
disguised, go to work as a laborer IN
his c~n mill, board with a woman re
knew, and attract attention to himse
by watching his own house? Could
anything be. more foolish. more futile,
il concealment was desired? If not
desired, the course was palpably more
foolish still.
Constance knew all this, but she
was strangely fascinated by the mans
personality, so like her husbands, she
imagined. In few days, as she saw
nothing of the person, she decided to
call on Mrs. Fry and inquire wheth er
! he was still confined to the house.
So with tumbler of currant jelly Mr.
Hamilton approached the little house
one morning.
Some jelly for your boarder il he il
still sick, if not, for yourself" said
Constance to Mrs. Fry when She
opened the door.
"Lor', now, how thoughtful you al
ways be. But Edes is better'n and

pride.

STAMPS ARE DROPPING
on TOMBSTONE ORE

The starting up of the 40-stamp mill
of the Tombstone Consolidated Mines
company signaled an era of prosperity
for Tombstone and the surrounding dis
trict. Testing of the machinery for
the past few days has evidenced the
fact that the mill is replete in every
detail. Everything connected with the
plant is of modern structure doing
away to large extent with fully one
half the labor formerly required
with similar enterprises. When the
ore is dumped into the bins
the further handling of the same
ceases until the values find their way
by automation to the zinc solution,
where precipitation prepares them for
the speculative world. Some idea of
the economic process employed may be
CLEANED from the fact that but few
men are required to the shift to super
intend every detail of the reduction
plant while 200 tons of ore are run
through per day of "a hours. The cease
less pounding of the stamps will be
gladstone music to the ear of the
Tombstone public; the noise will serve
as an echo from the depths, conveying
the happy tidings that riches incalcu-
able remain beneath the water level
with which to feed this mill and should
the ore deposits continue to expand and
tax the cravings of the plant additional
stamps will be added, wise provision
having been made for such an emerg-
ency that the management believes it
will be called upon to welcome at no
distant day. y.-ProspectOr.

Rain commenced falling in Clifton on
Friday and did not cease until Tuesday
The rainfall was so gradual that the
Frisco lacked several feet of reaching
the danger point The Coronado rail-
road was put out of business Saturday
night and did not resume until Tuesday,

ore for the smelters and mills. AS some
snow fell in the mountains surrounding
Clifton, it is likely heavy snow fell in
the higher attitudes. but as the season
is now far advanced it will doubtless
come away gradually. No serious re-
suits are now apprehended from high
water. The town of Clifton is being
fully protected by the Arizona Copper
company, but it will yet be several
weeks before the work is sufficiently
advanced to confine big flood to the
