Outside, the music was running on
dreamily. He scrat ched his head an
instant, rejecting, and started slowly
for the half open door In his bare feet
and pajamas. And so, in his Journey
of inspection and exploration, he came,
unheard upon the two on the stairs-a
pale, slim, little face, all eyes and tiny,
qulvering lips.
"If only you were not unhappy" said
the man, slowly, 'I-why-I could
bear 1t then that would be enough for
me; but"
81 am happy" said the princess trem-
ulously. She raised her roses to her
lips to hide their plteous trembling, and
dropped her eyes.

might have thought otherwise, but to-
night-to-night, know that have ev-

"Everything?"
She nodded, her face turned away to

the half-light and a little wistful.

Sheila confessed she had not even

As she said this the thought of Bever-

at once she determined to learn his adj

to him to send down a detective, why,
she could scarcely have told.

CHAPTER XII.


The following morning, before Con
stance Fraser had had time to compose
her 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
ly was that pale young face, pillowet
among the delicate lace-edged linen and
Swallowed by the pink-lined curtains. II
made her even savage, in her Jealous
hatred, to notice what daintiness the
mother already gave to her new-found
child.
II came to tell you" she said, very
abruptly, "that am going to London
for a few days. Janet will accompany
me. Is there anything that 1 can dc
for your"
Mrs. Fraser shook her head. Sheils
went away in total ignorance that the
most vital turn in events was to take
place Immediately.
1t was no unusual thing for her to &c
to London for a few days, as she was q
shrewd business woman, and superintend-
ed nearly all the movements of her af.
fairs. This time, however, there was
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, 1 think /
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. 1 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. I have been down
TO the church where Miss Gascoigne mar

II am happy in being able to assure
Won 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
pile of luggage being carried in, and in
her preternaturally sharp way she rec
ogniEed the livery of the footman, who
was experimenting the portmanteaus and
huge boxes, as that worn by the servants

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.

THE BEST CROP.

'-The best crop Is the crop of children"
President Roosevelt.
Eyes Albaze and Wagging Tongue,
And Tippytoe are children three;
Romping here the whole day long,
Clambering upon my knee.
Hands and knees upon the floor,
Laughing, shouting, noisy crew;
There is joy, and something more
In the things that children do.
Eyes Albaze is eight years old,
And a roguish brown-haired miss;
Loving arms that round me fold,
Lips God fashioned with a kiss.
Eight years old she is and fair,
With many of her mothers waysI
Daughter, playmate, comforter,
That's my little Eyes Ablaze.
Wagging Tongue, a boy Of six,
Chattering the whole day through
Up to many boyish tricks
He's the noisiest of the crew,
shrieks of laughter seem to ring
Through the house the whole day long
Oh, the joys that children bring,
Eyes Ablaze and Wagging Tonguel
Then God sent us Tippytoe,
Just to make our home complete;
There must be a babe you know,
Toddling on uncertain feet.
Wide-eyed, wondrOus boy of two,
Too soon older you must grow;
But God warmed our hearts anew
When he gave us Tippytoe.
Of the blessings God bestows
On his grown-up children here,
Fairer even than the rose
Are our little ones so dear,
Of the gifts he sends to-day
To enrich earth's kindly breast
Rings the truth when parents say
Little children are the best.

 Pedagogues. GATHER WEEK AFTER EASTER Large Number of Prominent Ala bama Educators Here.
 
Conference Held as to Arrangements For 16os Convention of state Educational Association--
 Decide on Some Topics.

At a conference of the executive com mittee of the Alabama Educational Association with the educators of the state, it was made practically certain that the 1908 convention of the Ala bama Educational Association will be held in Montgomery next spring on the last three. days of the week including Good Friday.
 The action of the conference was that of recommendation as to place and time. The executive committee will meet this morning and Is expected to officially ratify the recommendation. Steps were taken by the conference towards outlining topics for the pro- gram of the educational convention. These suggestions will also be given full weight when the executive com mittee today considers the drafting of program for the spring gathering.
 On invitation of the executive com mittee of the Alabama Ednca tional As- sociation, which was desirous of secur- ing the views of the active educational workers, fully thirty Alabama educa- tors met in the conference with the committee at the Commercial Club rooms. For nearly four hours the pedagogues discussed varied phases of the educational matters before them. While it was not in their province to act officially on any matters, it was understood that whatever the wishes of the conference mibht be. they would be carried out by the executive com mittee.
 Big Attendance of Educators.

If visitors to the Fair, fall to secure a place to lodge during their stay here it Is their fault, for special provision has been made by The Advertiser to secure the location of all of the avail able vacants rooms in the city and keep them on file at the Information Bureau which has been established at the Fair grounds.
 During yesterday a list of lodging places sufficient to aecomodate at least 1 900 visitors was to be seen at the Information Bureau. and if anyone had trouble in securing a place last night, it was because of his failure to look over the list.
