 The girl looked fixedly for moment at the marquise. If any word or sign passed between them 1t escaped Dun combe Phyllis was content. however, to ask no questions.
 T am quite ready" she sa4d calmly. The marQuise rose.
 "Your luggage can be sent on" she remarked.
 Duncombe approached Phyllis and stood by her side.
 "These people," he said, twill not tell me where they are taking you to. Are you content to go?''
 T must go," she answered simply.
 You wish me to give you"-
 If you please" she interrupted. He turned toward the door.
 T have something belonging to Miss ito my guest" he said, fin my own room. If you will excuse me for a moment I will fetch it." He returned with the sealed en- velope which she had given him and which he placed in her hands. He car ried also fur coat and an armful of wraps.
 You must take these," he declared. "rt is cold travelling"
 But how can return them to youT' she protested. "No, not the coat, please. I will take rug if you like"
 You will take both," he said firmly. "There need be no trouble about re- turning them. I shall be in Paris my self shortly, and no doubt we shall come across one another"
 Her eyes flashed something at him. What it was he could not rightly tell. It seemed to him that he saw pleasure there anu fear, but more of the latter. The marquis intervened.
 q trust" he said, that in that case you will give us the pleasure of seeing something of you. We live in the Ave nue de St. Cloud"
 You are very kind" Duncombe said. T shall not fail to come and see you"
 Spencer threw open the door, and they passed out. Phyllis kept by Dun combe's side. He felt her hand steal into his.
 T want you to keep this envelope for me-" she whispered. Tt contains noth- ing which could bring you into trouble or which concerns any one else. It is just something which should like to feel was in safe keeping"
 He thrust it into his pocket.
 q will take care of it." he promised. And you won't forget me? We shall meet again-sooner perhaps than you expect"
 She shook her head.
 T hope to heaven that we shall not! At least, not yet" she murmured fer vently.
 From the carriage window she put out her hand.
 You have been very kind to me-" she said. "Goodby!'
 "An impossible word." he answered, with we'll affected gayety. "A pleasant journey to you.'
 Then the carriage rolled away, and Spencer and be were left alone. Dun combe secured the front door, and they walked slowly back to the library.
 You know Paris we'll" Duncombe said. Have you ever heard of these people?' 5,,I- L;,-. .-r-. .fy...,4

 He hesitated for moment.
 Say only the word, Phyllis. and no one in the world shall ever take you away"
 She did not even answer him. He left her with little sigh
 Spencer" he said, If you hear the slightest noise in that room go in and shout for me-"
 Spencer nodded. The front door bell rang again.

Tho passing Of the resolution was also
induced By the fact that many mem.
bers OF the legislature have suffered from
frequent, severe and in some instances
dangerous illness during the session"
The resolution directed the State

of ventilation in the two large balls,

of said board and the direction Of the
governor and with the assistance Of a

it insures not only more safeguards for

sTArE HOUSE vENTmArIoN.

III the State Board Of Health has not
taken up tho matter Of the ventilation
of the State House at Montpelier, IS
directed to do by the legislature of 1906,
now seems to be favorable time to
carry out the instructions. BY general
agreement, the two large chambers for
the house Of representatives and the sen
ate arc miscrably ventilated under the
system now employed. Especially is
this true in the hall for the more numer-
Gus body. After an hours session, with
a4o odd mon imprisoned, not to mention
the visitors who flock into the enclos-
ure, the air Is rendered unfit for breath
ing. How much worse Is il then when
protracted sessions are held or the room
is crowded with people, as It often is,
on THE occasion Of important debates Z
Those who are compelled to remain
therein can readily testify as to the in.
furious effect which the confinement
brings upon them. At the last session
of the assembly It was the common
talk that the representative from Lowell,
Thomas ). Brahana, was FASTENED to his
death because Of the poor ventilation
in the State House. Whatever of fact
there may be ID the report, It neyerthe-
less impressed the legislators 80 forcibly
that they incorporated It in a resolution
which they passed directing that the
