though her duties were those of paid chapcron, sfe was genuinely fond Sf Leonore, and the actress repaid her af- fectiQn by treating her with almost filiai respect Never for moment was Mrs. Audrey allowed to feel that she was in a position of dependence.
 My dear" she replied gently, 'of course I am not shocked. but I think you see too much of Mir. Shil. Peo- ple have already begun to talk, and am not at all sure that he is sincere in his attentions.
 "I hope he is not" Leonore retorted sharply. q am sure do not encour- age his visits"
 Mrs. Audrey looked kesAly at the speakers face and smiled. Shc had already grown suspicious of Leonore's marked -coldness towards Jerry Shil.
 Very we'll. my dear" Mrs. Audrey said meekly, "only I think you had better tell him not to call so often. It only excites comment and it Is im- possible to be too careful. You will forgive me speaking to you like this, Leonore. but am an old woman. and it is the privilege of age to give ad- vice that has not been asked for. And you know, dear that have your hap piness at heart"
 For reply Leonore went up tto the old woman. and kissed her Lightly on the cheek.
 Then John Shii entered, and shook hands with both women. A few gen. eral remarks passed between the three, and Mrs. Audrey seeing from the ex- pression on the mans face that she was not wanted. found an excuse for leav- ing the two young people alone to- gether.
 Well" said Leonore coldly, when Mrs. Audrey had departed What brings you here at this early hour?"
 T must apologize" he replied, but I wished to see you before I left Lon don. I asn going down into Essex to- day, and wished to say Good bye to you, Leonore."
 T am sorry you afe going" she said in a matter-of-fact voice. But I have asked you not to call me by my Christian name"
 John Shii drowned, and bit his lip with vexation. Then he laughed good humoredly.
 q know you very we'll" he said apol- ogetfcally.

tContinued.

(Continued.
 Laura was evidently in need of help. or at any rate of some friend who could give her advice and sympathy. 1t was also pretty certain that she had left Tankerlahe. Leonore was not well acquainted with London. but she knew that Deptford was hardly the sort of place that her husband would choose to live in, unless he had fallen on evil days. It was possible, how ever. that Laura, who wished to hide from her friends. might select neigh borhood where she would not be likely to meet any of them-
 Leonore slept but little that night. Her sympathy for the troubles of an- other woman was mingled with some anxiety as to the part she herself would play in the matter. It was not at all to her interest that Laura should leave Tankerlane, and she had resoiv- cd to do all in her power to keep John Shii from meeting the woman he had once loved so well. At first the re- solve had been the result of her de- sire to do the best she could for the, benefit of others. It was now strength ened by a determination to act for her own happiness. So long as Laura Vane was free to marry John Shil. so long would she prove a dangerous rival. Le- onore fiattered herself that she intend ed no disloyalty to her friend. The circumstances of the case were such that it would be kindnes to keep Laura vane and John Shil apart
 At half past 10 the next morning the footman brought up a card, and Leonore drowned as she read the name. She did not wish to see John Shil at that particular moment. But sine could hardly refuse him an interview. He had probably calleo on some matter of importance. Men do not pay society calls at half past 10 in the morning.
 'Tell Mir. Shil I will sec him." she said te the servant. and then she turn ed to an elderly lady. who had looked up from her perusal of The Times with a frown on her wrinkled forehead.
 Dear Mrs. Audrey" she said with a laugh, please don't be shocked. I know the hour is unconventional But it Is probably something of import ance."
 Mrs. Audrey rose to her feet. and laid aside her spectacles. A faint flush came into her aristocratic old face. AL

CHAPTER XVII The Devil nnd the Deep Sea.


 For little while Leonore was tempt cd to disregard Laura's telegram. She was smarting under a cruel blow. She had not wept or cried out, but the whip had cut into her flesh, and she ached with path 1t was only natural that her mind should be embittered, and that she should turn deaf ear to her rivals appeal for help.
 But such thoughts cannot remain for long in the mind of any good woman. Leonore reused herself from her brief spell of madness, and her cheeks grew hot with shame, as she realized to what dephts she had fallen. She crossed the room and rang the bell.
 ''Get me a hanson, please" she said to the maid who answered her sum- mons. "As quickly as possible"
 But the hanson waited ten minutes at the door before Leonore, was ready to start. She was clever and strong minded woman. but she was not free from the weakness of vanity, and she was particularly careiui of her appear ance that morning. She was well satis- fled with herself as she looked in, the glass. Her tastes in dress were quiet, but magnificent. Everything she wore was simple and very costly, for she bought all her things at the best shops in Paris-perhaps the most expensive in all thezworld.
 The drive to Deptford was long one, and she had plenty of time to think over her own position in regard to Laura and John Shil. She did not as vet know why Laura had sent for her. nor what she would be asked to do for her friend. But the situation was al- ready monstrous and impossible. and more than one ugly thought came into her mind. Her wish to help Laura was strong and sincere. but she fought in vain against a desire that was even stronger and more near to her heart her love for John Shil.
 There was no maIdenly pride in the nature of the great actress, pride which forbids a young girl to even ler her thoughts dwell on 8 man who does not love her. Leonope Tsnkerlane was a woman of the world. with strong pas sions and a keen intellect She had forced her way up from obscurity to fame. She was mistress of her own life and her own actions. She occupied a large place in the world of art. and could not possibly place herself on the level of a bashful school girl. She had lived a clean life, and for many years she had thrust all thoughts of love out of her mind. And now that she was in love with a man she ionged for him with all her body, mind, and soul. | And as the cab passed from the West End to the city. and from the city to the east. she tried to reconcile her two desires in a common plan of action. She wished to help Laura-and she wished 1 to advance her own interests. If she could do both 1t would be well with her If she could only accomplish one desire-that was the cruel dilemma. clination.

Our Streets and SIDE Walks.

Our Board of Aldermen ar,
showing their good judgment by
having concrete walks put dow =
all around the square. We see
from notice OF recent date, pub
lished in last weeks issue. that
they propose to have the people
vote on the question as To wheth-
er we shall also put down the same
kind OF walks on all the principal
streets of ne town.
We have nothing TO say agains,
such an improvement il the same
can be done in a way that the
people can pay for the same with
out being oppressed. We should
remember that there are many
people who are paying about as
much as they can possibly rake
up to pay their expenses here.
and so upon this class of people
such move would mean a great
hardship. Our taxes are very
high already. as high as in many
of the larger cities, so they te n
US, and yes wa seem to have very
little above necessities in the way
of municipal improvements.
As We have stated we are al
ways favorable TO any good i'm
prOvement, but We believe the
side walks should come after the
streets have been gravelled or put
in some such shape that our poor
work animals are not driven to
death pulling heavy vehicles with
axles dragging the ground year
after year, ever since Oxford was
founded. Surely the streets
should be thoroughly prepared
before the walks are looked after,
people can very well make out
with walks for n time, bad as they
are, especially if they were patel
ed up now and then, but it seem:
a crime to burden the stock any
longer by driving their very Hve'
out in this mud.
IL we can have cravelled street.
and side walks too, then all RICH
but if we must have but one let
have the streets fixed now.
