he'd done some work. At the sight of me
she refined up, and l could not avoid
stopping as lifted my hat.
Whence so early?" 1 asked
"Early?" she said. 81 don't call this
early. I've been for a long ride; in fact,
I've ridden over to Mr.. Carr's place,
with a message from papa; but he's not
there. Do you know where he is Mr..

HE hasn't been home for four nights"
she continued, and he hasn't been to the
ministry, either. It's very odd that he
should disappear like this, just when all
the business is going on, too"
What business, Donna Antonia?" 1
asked blandly.
She colored, recolecting, no doubt,
that the business was still a secret.
"Oh, well, you know they're always
busy at the ministry of finance at this
time. It's the time they pay everybody,
isn't it?"
ITS the time they ought to pay every
body" l said.
WELL" she went on, without noticing
my correction, "at any rate papa and the
President are both very much vexed with
him so l offered to make my ride in his
direction"
"Where can he be?" 1 asked again.
"Well," she replied, 81 believe he's at
Colonel McGregor's, and after lunch I
shall go over there. l know he dined
there on Monday, and l daresay he stayed
on"
NO" thought 1, you mustn't do that,
it might be inconvenient." So 1 said :
"The Colonel says Carr told him he was
going off for a couple Of days sail in his
yacht"
ITS very bad of him to CO." she said,
''but no doubt that's it. Papa will be
angry, but he'll be glad to know no harm
has come to him."
Happy to have relieved your mind"
said l. and bade her farewell, wondering
whether Don Antonio would find no harm
had come to poor Johnny. L had my
doubts.

From an English paper is gathered a

keeper in the house of the Lord: BE,

is what a child said Of Elijah: "As
Elijah went up to heaven he dropped
his mantle and Queen Elizabeth walk

BONAPARTE RETURNS.
Will Not Admit That He Will Begin
 Criminal Prosecution

Washington, August 13.-Attorney Gen eral Bonaparte returned last night from his vacation at Lenox. Mass, and took up at once many important matters pend ing the department of justice.
 He was unwilling this morning to dis cuss the reports that he had returned to begin criminal prosecution in the Harri- man and Standard oil cases but speaking generally he said the department stands ready to bring criminal action when there seems a good chance to convict
 He expressed no opinion concerning the possibility of conviction in case action Is brought in either of the cases mentioned. Discussing the existing statute he said tho Elkln law has been proven strongh enough to put an end to rebating but that some more active enforcement might be beneficial. While he had no criti- cism to offer of the Elkln's law he thought that the Hepburn act passed by the last congress may strengthen IL ma terally.
 MT. Bonaparte had telegram from r. R. Kellog of St. Paul who has been acting for the government as special attorney in both the Hartman and the Standard oil cases. stating that the taking of tes- timony in the St. Louis case against the Standard Oil Company which Is for the dissolution of the concern will begin in New York on September 3.

REAL LIVE BEAR
 VISITS PRESIDENT
CLIMBS ON BACK LEAN TO-" PEEPS IN AND RUNS AWAY, LEAVING ONLY HIS TRACKS BE- HIND HIM.

Oyster Bay, N. Y. August 13.-A live bear, of which no one claims owner ship, has taken up his home in the woods of Sagamore Hill, and in the early foggy hours this morning he paid a visit to the residence of President Roosevelt.
 The trampling of the under brush near ledge of the cleared knoll on which the Presidents summer home is situated, reused the secret service guard to activity. While the sleuths went into the woods the bear came boldly into the clearing. When the guard re- turned to his post after a vain search for the cause of the noise, he was given another start by hearing scratching on the roof of lean-to, at the rear of the Presidents house. Upon the roof went the guardsman but what he saw caused him to stop and pinch himself and rub his eyes. As he was doing this the bear made over to the other side. jumped to the ground and ambled off towards the woods again. The secret service men hastily organized the household dogs and stablemen into a hunting party. TOT lhTee nouIh lne hunt lasted-from until o'clock but the bear had got away. His tracks have been carefully garded and present the only real evidence to substantiate the story.
 For several days those who are fre- quent visitors to Sagamore Hill have reported hearing the crackle of twigs as they had gone up the road in G Presidents grounds and the belief Is now fixed that the bear has been liy- ing here for some days.
