Mrs. Jack Gardeners Italian Palace; Tufts
Medical School, Simmons College, the New Eng
Iand Conservatory, a group of three buildings
connected with the Boston Normal School; the
museum of the Massachusetts, Historical So
cety and many more. Here ground has recently
peen broken for the group Of buildings for the
Museum Of Fine Arts, which will cost several
million dollars. Harvard Dental School Will
build soon. Just outside the Fenway district
rises the large dome of the new Christian Sci
ence Temple, the Mecca Of all faithful followers
of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy
All this expansion of the city has been accom-
panied, and, indeed, to a large extent caused, by
the development of the most efficient system Of
rapid transit yet evolved anywhere. Here, too
is, returning ex -Bostonans will notice, great
change. 1t began ten years ago, when the Bos-
ton Elevated Railway Company, which OPP
crates practically all of greater Bostons local
car service, chartered to lease the surface
lines then existing and to construct an overhead
system of transportation. The result has been
the expansion of the Hub" into a wide spread
ing metropolis. 4 single community, in fact if nat
in name, with million and q quarter inhabi-
tants.
When the elevated company took over the
streetcar lines decade ago there were :}p4 miles
of tracks in the system. To-day It operates a
little more than 457 miles Of track including the
first subway built in the United States and the
first tunnel under the deep waters of a sea-
board harbor-the tunnel that connects by troll
ley the island ward OF East Boston with the
municipality OF the mainland From end to end
Of this diversified transportation system a five
cent fare prevails. and it Is possible to travel
twenty miles without paying more than a single
nickel.

 You know so much," Duncombe said. "I have no doubt that you know the one thing which would give years of my life to be satisfied about" The boys dark eyes were fixed stead fly upon his.
 "Slr George he said, there is noth- ing which I can possibly say to you. My warning has been exceedingly fool ish, but after all if can persuade you to leave Paris I shall have done no great harm. As for the cards-well, I must plead guilty to weakness there. have not the slightest objection to taking the life of man who Is mak- ing a nuisance of himself, but his hon. or think one should not tamper with. May I offer you a cigarette? We'll, Louis, what luck?"
 The baron had strolled into the room and was sitting on the arm of chair.
 Tt will be all right directly" the baron answered. "We have three, and old D'Arcon has telegraphed that he will be here in five minutes
 Duncombe rose to his feet.
 'It was really very careless of me-" he said, but I completely forgot that I had an engagement at the hotel at Q o'clock. I am afraid that shall not be able to stop"
 The baron glanced quickly at his young friend. There was nothing what ever to be learned, though, from his pale, boyish face His own counte- nance had darkened for the moment, but he recovered his composure imme- diately.
 .As you will" he answered careless ly. Perhaps you can drop in later. Come and dine, ! will you, at half past g." ,t.-.s.
 T am much obliged to you, baron" " Duncombe said, but cannot accept your invitation. I am lover of plain speaking, so I, will not plead pre- vious engagement. But the one thing want from you, the thing which have almost a right to demand, you will not give l do not feel, there, fore, that any more than ordinary in tercourse is possible between us"
 The baron bowed gravely.
 My dear Sir George" he said, "l am answered. I wish could drive out of your mind that extraordinary hallucination relative to my supposed knowledge of your young English friend. It is impossible. Very good I shall look forward to time, Sil George, when we may meet on a bet ter footing."
 Duncombe left the hotel with the rec ollection of that curiously ironic smile fresh in his mind.

Tho Siv sa his eyes. Duncombe was little angry. The VI comte regarded him with reproachful wonder.
 You ask me SC many questions" he murmured, ''and tell you that I know nothing. I have asked you to come here with me because had just this to say. I can answer no questions, offer no explanations. have no particular liking for you, but am afflicted with a cursedly sensitive disposition. and there are things which find 1t hard to watch with equanimity. There is a train for England at o'clock this evening, Sir George. Take it."
 Duncombe rose from his seat
 q am very much obliged to you" he said. "I believe that you are giving me what you think to be good advice. Whether can follow it or not is a diff ferent natter"
 The vicomte sighed.
 "You Englishmen," he said, fare so obstinate. It Is the anxiety concerning your friends, suppose, which keeps you hereY'
 "Yes."
 The vicomte hesitated. He looked up and down the room and especially at your departure lou are well mean ing person. monsieur, but you do no. body any good here, and you risk more than dare tell you. If you must go. then"

 At last" he exclaimed, with sigi of relief. Come up into my room Spencer. We can talk there"
 He rang for the lift, and as they as cended he watched the other anxious ly. Spencer was looking pale and dis turbed. His eyes showed signs ot sleeplessness. and he had not the ah of a man who has good news to in part. As soon as they were inside thl room he locked the door.

At a pace whici, seemed to him most ridiculous they dashed into the Rue de Rivoli and with another sharp turn pulled up be fore Maxim's. The vlcomte rose with a yawn as though he had just awoke from refreshing dream. His servant slipped off his fur coat, and he de seconded to the pavement faultlessly dressed and quite unruff1ed.

 ITO leave the hotel?"
 "Yes. I was on my way to the Ritz to secure rooms when met you"
 The vicomte slipped his absinth gravely.
 T should not take those rooms," he said. "You will in all probability not occupy them"
 "Why not?"
 'It has been decided" the vicomte said, that you are to be driven out of Paris. In the end you will have to go. I think if were you would not walt. The train de luxe to Calais is more comfortable than wet bench in the morgue or French prison"
 "Who has decided this?" Duncombe asked. What emperor has signed the decree of my banishment:"
 "There have been worse served em- perors," the vicomte remarked, than the, shall we say. person who bids you go."
 What is my offense?" Duncombe asked.

 "Who are my judges, then? What secret authorities have I incensed? am an honest man, engaged in an hon. est mission. Why should not be al lowed to execute it?"

 he bowed to the Frenchman
 whose name his friend had men, loned. T am very glad to meet you gain, N. le Baron" he said aloud. They were in the covered garden at be Ritz. Duncombe had accepted the ressIng invitation of an old college siend whom he had met on the boule- ards to drop in and be introduced to is wife. And the third at the tea ta- Ie was NJ. Louis, known in society ap- nrently as NJ. le Baron de Suers. Lady Hadley, his friends wife, smil- 1 languidly upon them both. She was frail pink and white little woman nth the reputation of a beauty to sus- in, wherein lay her life's work. "You two know each other. of course" " se remarked.

OR three days DuncomDe saw nothing of Spencer. Three
 long days devoid of incident,
 hopelessly dull, aimless and uninteresting. On the fourth the only change in the situation was scarcely a reassuring one. He became aware that he was being watched.
 There was no particular secrecy about it. Even in the hotel itself some one was always on his heels. The absence of any attempt at concealment convinced him that 1t was the author ized police who had thus suddenly showed their interest in him. The sus- manager called him on the fourth morning into his private office.
 Monsieur will pardon me, I trust" he said, If take the liberty of asking l him a question"
 Certainly" Duncombe answered. GO ahead!"
 Monsieur is aware that be has been placed under the surveillance of the police?"
 "The fact" Duncombe said, 'has been borne in upon me during the last few hours. What of it?'
 The manager coughed. | '"This is cosmopolitan hotel. Sir George" he said, and we make no pretense at ultra exclusiveness. but we do not care to see the police on the premises"
 Neither do l." Duncombe answered. Gan you suggest how we may get rid of them?"
 Monsieur does not quite under stand" the manager said smoothly. Clearly he has done something to bring him under the suspicion of the law. Under these circumstances 1t would be more agreeable to the man. agement of the hotel if monsieur would depart"
 Duncombe did not wish to depart. The hotel at which Phyllis Poynton's trunks were still awaiting her return was the hotel at which he wished to stay.
 LDuh A1. hC ndlN. give you my word of honor that have broken no law or engaged In any crim- inal action whatever since I came to Paris. This game of having me watch ed is simply a piece of bluff. l have done nothing except make inquiries in different quarters respecting those two young English people who are still missing. In doing this seem to have run up against what is nothing more nor less than a disgraceful conspiracy. Every hand Is against me. Instead of helping me to discover them the police seem only anxious to cover up the tracks of those young people"
 The manager looked down at his desk.

Dunconlbe recounted the evenings events. His new ally listened and aft erward smoked for a moment or two In silence.
 Tt is simply wonderful" he declar' cd. s'The whole secret service system of Paris is working to cover up the traces of this boy and girl. Their spies of course are everywhere and their or ganization perfect The first one of their creatures who tries to break away Is Mile. Flossie. The poor little fool lived for only a few hours afterward. Your brlbe was high, but she ought to have known better"
 "You mean
 "Why, of course! The theft Of her poor little jewels was only blind It was to deceive the public, for as matter of fact her murderer would have been perfectly safe if he had strolled into the nearest police station and made his report. She was killed because she was going to give you certain information"
 Duncombe shuddered.
 sGreat neavenr' he exclaimed. "Tell me, Spencer, who or what can be at the back of all this? Guy Poynton was simply healthy minded, not over intelligent young Saxon, unambitious and passionately fond of his home and his country life He had no friends over here, no interests, no ties of any sort. He was abroad for the first time of his life. He regarded foreign coun- tries and people simply with the toler- ant curiosity of the untraveled British CT. He appears in Paris for one night and disappears, and forthwith all the genius of French espionage seems to have combined to cover up his traces. It Is the same with his sister, only as she came afterward 1t was evidently pn his account that she also is drawn Into the mystery. What can be the meaning of 1t, Spencer?"
 My young friend" Spencer said, T will be frank with you. have not the least Idea. I only know that somehow pr other you're up against big thing. In a week. perhaps day, I may know more. Meanwhile want you to go on rour way precisely as though you and had not discussed this matter"
 "We may not work together, then?'' Duncombe asked.
 Certainly not. You are marked nan everywhere. Every door is closed b you. I shall nominally stick to my bost You must be content to be the tctual locker on, though you had bet er not abandon your inquiries alto yether. I will put you up at the Cercle Anglais. It will serve to pass the ime. and you may gain information al he most unlikely places. And now ,oodby."
 The liftman thrust penciled note nto his hand as be ascended to his oom.
 HFrom I do not know whom, mon ieur," he announced Tt was Jeff ere by some one. Whom I cannot ay."
 Duncombe opened 1t in his dressing pom. There was only one sentence:
 Monsieur would be well advised t eave Paris tonight"

TO PROVE OIL IN
 BUSINESS IN TEXAS
The Waters-Pierce Case Reaches the Stage Where the State Makes
 Final Attempt at Custer.

Austin, Tex, May 25.-After working all the week on evidence to prove its allegations of the existence of an oil trust outside the state. attorneys for the prosecution today reached the stage in the proceedings in the antitrust and penalty suit against the Waters Pierce Gil company, wherein it Is at tempting to prove that the alleged trust operated and Is operating in Texas. Several dispositions introduced in evidence today relnted to the opera tions of the Waters Pierce company in Texas, the prices charged, the marine oil furnished by the Standard oil com pany to vessels touching Texas ports, and the alleged efforts of the Waters Pierce and Standard Oil companies to suppress competition in the state.
 Following the precedent which it set early in tho trial when a demand was made on the attorneys for the defense to produce books, the state today made another demand upon them for papers relating to transactions in Texas.
