the conversation that passed between the
two ladies on the road homewards.
During the whole of that day Arthur
was like ole upon the rack. The indispo-
sition of Mrs. Castleton filled him with
grief and dismay; and vague sense OF
some overhanging evil plunged him into
the deepest detection.
By ten o'clock the next morning he was
at Brompton. A sense of indescribable
terror seized upon him as he perceived
that every blind in the house was drawn
down. He bounded up the steps, and
knocked at the door with a trembling
hand. His summons was answered by
the elder of two servants. She held a
letter in her hand, which she said her
mistress had desired her to give 1t to
him when he came.
He took it without a word, and broke
open the envelope. 1t contained these
words:
Dearest Love:
when these lines meet your eyes !
shall be far away. For your sake, 1t is
better we should part. Do not doubt my
love- for while 1 write these cruel words
it is deeper than ever. Perhaps we
shall never meet again. Forgive me-
pardon mel can write no more. Fare
WELL"

CHAPTER XVIII.

The day after his visit to Curtain
Road, Stafford made call at the quar-
ters Of his old friend Jerome which were
situated in dingy street.
Jerome was an artist Of the true Bo
hcmian class-working only when the
want of money pressed him; spending
one day with the most reckless extrava.
gance, dining the next upon bread and
cheese.
Jerome's studio was garret lit by a
skylight-a blank, dreary looking room
with yellow-ochred walls, broken away in
places. Old canvasses, old plaster casts,
bits of medieval armour, unfinished
sketches, Jumps of whiting, palettes, and
all the litter of an artists room, lay about
in the widest confusion.
As Stafford entered the room, he could
but dimly discern the figures within
through the dense cloud Of tobacco smoke,
which, combining with puffs from q
smoky chimney, formed most salubri-
GUS atmosphere. A snout of welcome
hailed the new arrival.
The occupants Of the room were Je-
roma Leland and one or two other art
lists, and well-dressed, aristocratic look
ing man to whom the reader has been
already slightly introduced-Mr. Parsons.
welcome, wanderer, back again to the
sweet shades Of Solo," cried Jerome, the
atrically, embracing his visitor.

smoke once more, and none the worse for

NEW TWO-STORY BRICK

~ George Harding has decided to
build a two story brick building ON
his lot at the corner Of Sherman and
Fifth streets. The building will have
a so foot front and be LOB feet deep
with full basement. The plans will
be completed by the first Of March
and the building will be ready for
occupancy by the middle of June.
The entire building will be occupied
by the Occur d'Alene Furniture com
pany, which will incorporate with a
capitalization Of $50, 600. The pres.
ent quarters Of the furniture company
have become too small for the large
business which it has built up and
the new location will permit Of a
satisfactory display Of the stock. The
plans for the incorporation have not
been perfected but the change In the
company and the erection Of the
building was confirmed To-Day by both
s. c. Bonner, Of the furniture com.
pany, ard Mr.. Harding, the owner Of

Shortage Affects Lumbermen

The present shortage of cars is
perhaps felt more by the lumbermen
of the city and vicinity than others.
This is eVinced by the statement made
last evening by B. g. Nelson, of the
Stack Gibbs Lumber company, when
he said that he could use at least 200
box cars for shipment of dressed Ium-
Der over the Northern Pacific lines.
This company favor more especially
the passenger traffic than the freight
business between the east and west
and it is almost impossible to get a
car from it for freight purposes. This
is almost direct contrast to the
Grent Northern railway which fayors
the freight rather than the passenger
traffic. Other lumbermen have COM
planned bitterly over the shortage and
state that it will result in delaying the
opening of the mills for some time.
