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 wns that pale young face, pillowed
among the delicate lace-edged linen and
shadowed by the pink-lined curtains. 1t
made her even savage, in her Jealous
hatred, to notice what daintiness the
mother already gave to her new-found
child.
IL came to tell you" she said, very
abruptly, that l am going to London
for a few days. Janet will accompany
me. Is there anything that 1 can do
for your"
Mrs. Fraser shook her head. Sheila
went away In total ignorance that the
most vital turn in events was to take
place Immediately.
It was no unusual thing for her to go
to London for a few days, as she was
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.
81 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, / think
shall know how to make 1t 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 shadow Of doubt, Miss
Fraser" he said quietly, that this young
girl is Miss Anstruther. l 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. have been down
TO the church where Miss Gascoigne mar
ried Captain Anstruther, and have pro
cured another copy of the certificate

(which Is so much worthless paper,
considering that Captain Anstruther was
married at the time and had a wife liv-
ing" Sheila remarked CURLY.
II am happy in being able to assure
you that this romance is net true, and
congratulate you that your stepmether
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 a
pile Of luggage being carried in, and In
her preternaturally sharp way she rec
ognized the livery of the footman. who
was experimenting the portmanteaus and
huge boxes, as that worn by the servants
of the Earl Of Daleswater. She whisper
ed to her maid, Beecham. to find out II
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.

her police assistance, Miss Fraser7" he
went on.
Sheila confessed she had not even
thought of it.
Are not the Mountberry men sufi-
cientT she asked.
This Is prominently case for an
astute detective" he said; "and should
telegraph up at once to Scotland Yard,
if were you. AS the affair happened In
your grounds, Of course. it would be
pleasanter for you to have it sifted thor
oughly."
You are quite right % Sheila said,
warmly, although she could have struck
him with her whip for daring to dictate
to her. Il will send up to London at
once"
As she said this, the thought of Bever-
ley ROchfort came into her mind, and all
Mt once she determined to learn his ad-
dress from Mr.. Thorngate, and telegraph
to him to send down a detective. why.
she could scarcely have told.

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 Tongue
Then God sent us Tippytoe,
just to make our home complete;
There must be 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.

EXCURSIONS.

Another of those delightful forty-mile
rides down the Potomac will be run by
the steamer Charles Manchester Sunday
next, leaving 18th street wharf at 2:30
pm, returning, reach home about 1880
pm. These are the most popular trips
given on the waters of the grand old
Potomac. and have been largely patronized
and much enjoyed by many Washington
ians this fall. The steamer passes in
plain view CT Indian Head and Quantico,
and gives the excursionists an opportu-
nifty to see the scenery along the river,
which is most beautiful at this time of
the year The excellent cafe the
steamer will serve meals during the en-
tire trip; lunches and refreshments may
also be had at city prices.
The popular tourists route to Mount
Vernon. home and tomb of Washington,
is via the large steel steamer Charles
Manchester, built expressly for this serv-
ice. The steamer has all modern equip
ments and the quick service Of only one
hours rerning time in either direction
mikes the trip delightful. The steamer
leaves 9TH street wharf every week day
at 1000 am. and 2:30 pm, returning, due
to arrive at Washington at 2:15 and 6:15
pm. There is an elegant cafe on the
steamer.

DEFERRED ONE MONTH
B. AND o. COMPANY'S USE OF
UNION STATION.

An official statement made today by the
officials of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
states that recent reports to the effect
that the Baltimore and Ohio will not begin
using the new Union station at Washington
for about a month are practically correct.
1t has been the idea all along that the Bal
timore and Ohio should begin using the sta
ton first. The eng neers are, of course, es-
pecially anxious for this in order that the
space occupied b" the Baltimore and Ohio g
old station and the tracks leading to 1t
can be filled in as a part of the general ter
minal improvement"
1t Is, however. considered Of most general
interest and benefit to the railroads, as well
as the public, it is stated, to defer using the
new station for another month, and then 1t
will be practically completed. Another good
reason for putting of it's use as long as pos
sible in the failure of Congress, before ad-
journing last summer, to give the street
railway companies Of Washington authority
to extend their tracks up to the station.
This cannot be done until Congress recon-
venes in December, and the importance of
this can readily be seen. Accommodations
should be made, 1t is declared, for the
steady stream of people that will be enter
ing and leaving the Capital city through
the gates Of the new station.

At a meeting of Columbia Lodge of Ma
evening the sum Of 500 was voted for the

of the report of j. D. Buckalew, third vice
president of the International Association
of Machinists, who was recently married
at Topeka, Kan, 1t was stated. In his
report he says he has mailed to interna-
tional headquarters in this city a COMMUNE

Makes a Suggestion.

At meeting of the Alexandria County
Board of Trade held Tuesday afternoon at
Rosslyn the plan to turn the government
reservation at the Virginia end Of the Aque-
duct bridge into a park that would make a
suitable approach to the Arlington National
cemetery was discussed.
Upon motion of James E. Clements a
committee composed of Mr.. Clements, Mer-
ton E. Church and r. Harry Phillips was
appointed to lay the matter before the
War Department which has sole control Of
the five-acre tract.
This committee will petition the War De-
partment to improve the land by cleaning
up the property and ornamenting II with
parking, shrubbery and flower beds. It was
also suggested that statue of Thomas
Jefferson be erected. which would be q
gateway to the cemetery.

Virginia and Representative Carlin, from
the Alexandria county district, will intro
duce bills at the coming session of Congress

more elaborate system of parks than that
