CHAPTER XII.

1he following morning, before Con-
stance Fraser had had time to compose
ner thoughts, and begin to prepare her
child for what lay before her, Sheila
came into the room
Audrey was lying very quiet in her
little bed, and the other girl noticed, with
anger in her heart, how exquisitely love

made her even savage, in her jealous
hatred, to notice what daintiness the
mother already gave to her new-found
child.
Il came to tell you,' she said. very
abruptly, that l am going to London
for a few days. Janet will accompany
me. Is there anything that I can do
fol- you?"
Mrs. Fraser shook her head Sheila
went away in total ignorance that the
most vital turn in events was to take
place Immediately.
1t was ne unusual thing for her to 60
to London for a few days, as she was
shrewd business woman, and superintend-
ed nearly all the movements of her af-
nothing that would demand her atten-
ton, except this former marriage of her
fathers widow.
She determined during her absence
from Dinglewood to go herself to Broad
borough and make full inquiries about
Audrey.
II will not rest till have full and
complete proof that she is Frank Ans
truther's child. If only can be success
full and discover any flaw, I think l
shall know how to make it disagreeable
for Mrs. Fraser and her charity girl"
To Sheila's annoyance she found that
Mr.. Chester was in possession of every
fact relating to Audrey's birth, and In
a very short time placed these facts be-
fore her.
There is not a shadow of doubt, Miss
Fraser" he said quietly, that this young
girl is Miss Anstruther. I have been
myself to Broadborough and made every
inquiry, and if these inquiries had failed,
the appearance of the registration of
birth and the marriage certificate would
settle the question: | have been down
to the church where Miss Gascoigne mar
red Captain Anstruther, and have pro-
cured another copy of the certificate.
Here it is. ..
(Which is so much worthless paper,
considering that Captain Anstruther was
married at the time and had a wife liv-
ing" Sheila remarked CURLY.
II am happy in being able to assure
you that this romance is not true, and
congratulate you that your stepmother
has at least one JOY left her in life. Fate
has treated her harshly, poor lady
She arose abruptly, and went away.
As she re-entered her hotel she saw a
pile of luggage being carried in, and in
her preternaturally sharp way she rec
ognzed the livery of the footman, who
was experimenting the portmanteaus and
huge boxes, as that worn by the servants
of the Earl of Daleswater. She whisper
ed to her maid, Beecham, to find out if
the family were about to stay at the hotel,
and passed upstairs with the first sensa-
ton of pleasure she had experienced for
some time, which grew stronger as she
learned that the countess and her chill
dren were expected up the following day
from Daleswater House.

NEGROES GUIDED

DEVIL PLAYS 4 LARGE PART IN
THE LIVES OF MOST OF
THE RACE.
From the Kansas CITY Star. !

tf rom the Kansas city Star
No race in the world is more gov
erncyl by superstition than the negro;
his life is filled with fatal periods
and unlucky days, and his nights are
haunted with visions of witches, elves
and demons. In parts of the south
land among negroes who are far re-
moved from civilization. the chief re-
hgious consolation is devil worship.

This belief is hereditary. descended
from time immemorial, when the ne
gro's forbears worshiped Mumbo

forests
His faith, if you can call it such.
is governed by what you might call
caul of superstition. with which
every negro comes enveloped at
birth: all the Biblical instruction in
the world cannot change his religious
peryersity, for it is from the Bible
the negro draws no small portion of
his philosophy of life, and while he
may take a passage here and there
too literally yet he derives a salts
faction from the Bible, and he pro-
badly would assail more truculently
an enemy thereof than one who had
done him personal wrong. He finds
JUNCTION for his soul in such passages
of Scripture as Take no thought for
the morrow, THE Lord will pro-
vide, Lay ye not up treasure on
earth. Consider the lilies how they
grow: they toll not. neither do they
spin, Man that is born of woman
is of few days and full of trouble.

Then, again, an overexuuerance Of
enthusiasm at revival meeting re-
suits in religious frenzy which ex-
ceeds all bounds of common under
standing and which changes to posi-
tive devil worship. In the cotton
fields of the Glow grounds" and the
tobacco patches of new ground" re-
mote from civilization, religious or
gies are to be witnessed occasionally
where the hymns sung under the
leadership of some itinerant darby
evangelist have been transposed to
meet the requirements of the devil
dancers.
Nothing is more devilishly fear
some than to see from forty to fifty
white-haired darkies cake-walking
around bright forest fire, chanting
frightful songs to the twang of i'm
provised banjoes and the clap of pol

The country is disposed 10 he ap-
preciatiye of the services Of congress

tive branch exercises the rare priyi-

Underground Cables in France

In previous report Consul
General r. p Skinner called atten-
ton to the fact that French cities
require underground methods of dis
trlbution of electrical energy, and
that the new Marseilles cables were
being laid in trenches like so much
gas pipe and with less expense and
trouble. To satisfy inquiries in re-
gard to this subject he now adds:
These modern cables, although
plant and easily handled, are really
impermeable conduits of small diam
eter. All that I have seen are man
ufactured at Belfort and are deliv-
cred on huge wooden spools. from
which they are unwound into the
shallow trenches made ready for
them with surprising rapidly. The
copper wires composing these cables,
arranged in groups of three, are first
wound with jute, and the proper
number of these groups is then
wound again with jute, this cable
passing through an insulating BATH
From this bath the cable passes
through lead press, from which it
issues completely covered with a thin
lead sheathing. The lead sheath is
now covered with jute, and the cable
then enters a coal-tar bath, passing
next through final bath of lime. af-
ter which it is wound upon the wood
en- bobbin, the lime preventing the
tarry cable from adhering. The cop
per wires are presumed to be as Sc
cure from injury and deterioration in
their lead sheath as they would be in
a costly tunnel or permanent metal
conduit
American cities grooming under a
burden of dangerous and hideous
overhead wires might profitably con-
slider the advantages offered by these
cables. The initial cost of providing
and laying these cables cannot be
enough greater than that of erecting
overhead supports, with all their dan
gers and disadvantages, to alarm
anybody.
