| sPostoffice Directory" He turned
to his own address in Albany street,
and in the city. In the next edition,
he bitterly reflected, they would not
be there-nor anywhere. 1t was
doubtful whether he would ever dare
to set foot in England again; yet if
| Sophy and her child would not obey
| his orders and come out to him, he
| would dare; and then so much the
worse for them AS he idly turned
lover the leaves he read a page of
| trades" then, half closing the book,
repeated the names in their order,
with only two mistakes. He read it
again, and this time accomplished
the feat without an error. What an
amazing memory he possessed; what
grasp of mind and talent for detail!
1t was impossible, with the funds he
had to start with, that he should fall
a second time in utilizing such amaz-
ing gifts
He dined, or rather supped at a
late hour, and at little before eleven
started for the rendezvous Bearing
in mind the warning Dawson had
given him against being too early,
he went on foot, notwithstanding
that it was raining heavily. There
was also strong wind blowing. This
reminded him of the night when he
dogged the footsteps of Herbert Per-
ry when they came away from the
ball
There was another point of resem-
blance of which he was unaware;
his own footsteps were being dogged,
and with much greater cunning; he
had been but an amateur detective,
and this was a professional. Along
the Strand and Fleet street, and then
into the narrow thoroughfares by
the river side, this man pursued him
save that he always kept upon the
opposite side of the way-like his
street Adair stopped and took out his
watch. 1t wanted but five minutes
to midnight. Then he turned the
corner of the street and made rapidly
for the river. His pursuer, seeing
him pause, had skunk into a gateway,
and, taken unawares by his rapid
movement, was thrown more behind
him than he had been heretofore.
When he also turned into the street,
which was of no great length, Adair
had almost reached the bottom of it,
when he suddenly lost sight of him.
The detective hastened his steps, and
quickly reached the very spot, as he
Inn oriv ~ xrhn Aoir hod
peared. 1t was large warehouse,
with a huge crane depending from
it, and its great doors were closed.
1t was impossible, he felt, that they
could have been opened and shut
within so short a time. Yet the
man was gone. The detective placed
a whistle to his lips and gave shrill
signal, twice repeated. Within three
minutes there were two policemen
with their bulls eyes assisting him
in his search. He told them hurried
ly what had happened, and one of
them ran on to the river bank. AS
he reached it, light boat, with six
men in her, four of them rowing,
and two in the stern, shot out from
under the stairs.
HE has got away, sir" said the
policeman, running back to make his
report, "in a ships gig down the
river"
'.I don't believe it," said the de-
tective "He never moved yard
beyond this spot" and he struck his
foot upon the ground. The sound it
gave was dull and hollow. They were
standing on a cellar trap.

Crosses Ocean to wed.

Miss Anna Schaaf has arrived in
Trenton, after crossing the ocean
from Germany to become the bride
of George Heilmeir, of Philadelphia,
her schoolday lover. She is now
guest of Mrs. ]. r. Bayer. an aunt of
her prospective husband, preparing
for her wedding. The couple were
lovers in childhood, and plighted
their troth before the young man
came to America to seek fame and
fortune. When he was able to keep

NO. no! not that sobbed Sophy;
II have no right to it,
And, indeed, though the we'll
spring of love and gratitude were at
their full with her, she had sought
the refuge in question only to hide
her face in shame and sorrow.
THAT is not your Aunt Maria's
view" said Henny, coming to the as
sistance of them both-for, in truth.
it was needed though she and /
have certainly bone to pick with
you, dea-, for having hidden away
from US securely. We knew, of
course, since Jeanette was in charge
of you, that you we're safe-''
No, no, mol" interrupted Sophy,
in affrighted tones; mot safe, that
is what embitters every moment to
me. AS for me, do not deserve
to be safe from him, but / tremble
for my innocent child. +"
The two visitors exchanged signifi-
cant glances.
Had we not better tell herr"
whispered Henny, over the still
bowed head. But ere Aunt Maria
could nod assent Sophy had started
from her embrace with an affrighted
cry.
"Hark! hark!" she cried. "a
mans voice in Willie's room; he has
found us out, and has come to MUIR
der her"
Before either of her companions
could put out her hand to restrain
her she had rushed from the room
to the upper floor, The others fol-
lowed as quickly. as they could
Sophy's ears had not deceived her;
there was man in the room above,
where the child lay, sitting by the
side of the child with a huge picture
book in his hand, which she was re-
garding attentively. An old man in
deep mourning, but with a face of
quiet content and exquisite tender
ness. Little Willie and he were OBJ
viously on the best of terms, and she
was prattling away in the most con-
fidential and artless manner For
once the mothers face did not turn
first to her darling; she flung herself
at the newcomers knees and burst
into tears.
The canon caressed her in silence
for some moments. He had no great
confidence just then in his own pow
ers of speech, and when he used
them was careful to avoid too pro-
nounced a tone of tenderness.
you mustn't give way like that,
my dear Sophy,' he said, reproving-
ly. I'VE shall have the Court of
Chancery down upon us.
And indeed that important little
parsonage looked amazed enough at
her mothers emotion. 81 was told
to wait below till Aunt Maria had
prepared you for my visit" he went
on; though why should have be-
come such a formidable person to
you I'm sure can't tell; but
thought in the meantime would re-
new my acquaintance with my god
child
Still Sophy did not speak. She
had got hold of one of the canon's
hands and, in spite of his efforts to
withdraw it, was kissing it, to his in
tense embarrassment.

AN OHIO HOMECOMING.

For the benefit of former Cler-
mont County Ohioans, who reside
in this part of the country land
there are great many of them),
the Index is requested to publish
the following from the Cincinnati
Enquirer of recent date, concern.
ing an elaborate homecoming oi
Clermont County, the arrange.
ments for which are now well un-
der way. Quite number of the
former Clermonters in this vicinity
will go:
"The people of Clermont Coun-
ty are making preparations to have
a Homecoming next September.
The exact date has not been fixed,
but it is likely that the celebration
will coincide with that of the Gin.
cinnati Homecoming. A large mass
meeting was held in Batavia at
which an Executive committee was
appointed, Judge John S. Parrott
being elected chairman. This COM
mittee will have general charge of
the arrangements. Township COM
mittees are being appointed in each
township in the county, and it is
proposed to make the affair a mem
orable one.
"The plan is to have the earlier
days of the week spent in local re-
unions all over the county, ending
up with grand rally of the entire
county, to be held on Thursday or
Friday.
General Henry c. Cerbin and
other eminent former Clermonters
have promised to be present and
are taking keen interest in the
matter. General Fred D. Grant,
whose father, the late President
Grant, was native Clermonter,
has also promised to be present.
Three of the Judges of the Hamil-
ton County courts-Circuit Judge
Peter F. Swing, Common Pleas
Judge Jas. B. Swing and Probate
Judge Charles F. Malsbary-were
born in Clermont county and are
expected to take part in the fes,

ship was in the city last Thursday.
He is the only one of the older
Circles left on the farm, the others
having moved to Kiowa and en-
gagged in business. John is the
oldest in the bunch, has always
done we'll on the farm and seems
contented in staying with it. The
first and only great misfortune he
has so far suffered was the death of
his daughter which was told in
these columns some months ago.
The case was an exceptionally sad
one and the friends of the family,
especially those of southern Bar
Der, who knew this promising young
lady, will always have feeling of
sympathy for Mr.. and Mrs. Circle

ROAD TROUBLES.

There was a more than usually
interesting road case before the
county commissioners last Thurs
day, in which citizens of the north
ern edge of this township and most
of the Elm Mills people are the
principal parties in interest. In
January Walter Jackson and others
petitioned to open a road to give
them a more direct and easier haul
to Medicine Lodge, and vacate a
part of the one now in use. At the
April meeting the report of the
viewers was presented but there
was opposition to the acceptance of
the report and the board deferred
action until the adjourned meeting
in May, which was on Thursday.
At this meeting J. O.. Warren pre-
sented a remonstrance signed by
quite a number of people all the
way from Medicine Lodge to Isa-
bel, and he also employed A. L.
Noble to represent him. The pro :
posed road cuts through a corner OF
his land and he very strongly OBJ
jects to it. The parties who appear
ed in behalf of the new road were
Walter Jackson, ]. A. Wise, Wes
Chadwick, U. G. Rogers, Herbert
Furgason and VIM: Higgins of Elm
Mills township, and j. Chadwick
of this township, while ]. 0. War
rem and his attorney just as strenu-
ously opposedit. Finally the board
ordered that a new petition be pre-.
sented and it was agreed not to va
cate any road. The new petition
will ask for a road which will not
injure Mr.. Warren as much as the
one contemplated in the old peti-
tion, but unless Mr.. Warren changes
his mind he will oppose it just as
strongly. The petition was drawn
up and filed the same day and the
board concluded to go over the
ground themselves about June 22nd
so that the matter can be settled a,
the earliest possible moment in or.
der that the new road may be ready
for use by the time this years crop:
are ready for market.
Another petition In which A. w
Schnelle, w. S. Watkins and other.
OF Sharon township are the inter
ested parties, is in course of prepa
ration and will be filed at the Jul,
meeting. So far there has been NJ
opposition manifested in this case
