BY THEO GIFT

But all the while he was filed with
wonder, not only as TO what he should
do next, but as to what Bebe was doing
He had the strongest reason in the world
for wanting to see her alone-to talk to
her and make peace with her-and when
he first saw her leaving Caen unaccom-
panied, and with that little hand bag,
which conveyed the belief that she was
on a journey somewhere, it had occurred
to him that if he could only overtake
her he might secure the conversation he
wanted, before she got to her destination.
He would have ample time for all he had
to say and arrange; perhaps, if he was as
successful in his pleading as he hoped,
he could persuade her to abandon her
Journey and return to Caen under his
care There would probably be words,
ugly words. between himself and the
person awaiting her at Benouville; still,
as his case was the stronger, he could
not help thinking that if he could con
vince Bebe of the other PERSONS treach-
ery. she might at least be arrested in the
rash step she was contemplating, and
though in that case it would not be wise

something would be done, and time and
tact might do the rest.
This news respecting the convent at
Blainville, however, upset all his ideas
and suggested quite new train of
thought Had Mademoiselle Richard fled
to the nuns, as an innocent and high
spirited girl seeking refuge from insult
and injustice with her best and earliest
friends, or as one ruined and deserted,
craving shelter and hiding place? In
either case would he be allowed to see
her? Would not a much stronger excuse
than the handkerchief be necessary?
For nearly half an hour he strolled up
and down the road on which the convent
fronted, debating the question, when,
happening to turn his head just as he
was about to ring the bell at the main
entrance, he saw the object of his quest
issue from the chapel door at the further
end of the long building, and walk brisk
" away along the lane leading to the
village. To follow and overtake her was
the work of scarcely a moment; but,
though he had little reason to expect
that she would receive him amiably, he
was hardly prepared for the look of dis
like and disgust which famed into her
pale face as he sprang off his bicycle at
her side
Capt. jackson" she said amazedly
looking about her on either side, as if
seeking some mode of escape. Why have
you come after me?"

To Measure Natural Gas.

When natural gas was first brought
into use in America there seemed to be
genera idea that the supply was IN
exhaustiGie. 1t was sold at low rates
and usually without measurement. Tbs
method encouraged waste in the con
sumption Of gas, and was shortly aban-
doned by the larger companies. Today
nearly all consumption is sold by meas
urement. 1t is believed that the time
has now come when it is possible 10
procure statistics Of the quantity Of gas
consumed, and next year this will be
undertaken The method will give such
figures in the future that more direct
knowledge will be obtained Of the capJ-
city Of gas areas to maintain a CONNER
