CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE
DAY AT Z. G. MITCHELL'S

OF the many picnic gatherings about
Canon City on Thursday in commem-
Grafton of the Fourth of July none
were more pleasing than the one at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. E. C. Nit
chell, 431 Sherman avenue, Lincoln
Park, where between fifty and sixty
people celebrated the national ami
versary. In the shade of the Mitchell
orchard a delightful picnic dinner was
spread and in the afternoon the guests
devoted themselves to games of vari-
Gus kinds, or listened to the rendi-
ton of a musical program. Among
those present were the Snow, Wood
ford, Farmer, Tucker, Smith, Entorf,
Bachelor, Preston and Laverick fam
lilies.

CHAPTER Y.

Everybody felt a little startled and
curious at Dobroskis abrupt departure
from the garden, with Angela, but nobody
but Fraser felt altogether at liberty to
speak of it.
Farley and the young American were
still talking books when Dobroski and An
gela returned.
'You will pardon me for taking away
your charge" he said to Maskelyne. "I
had received sudden and moving news in
which / knew she would be interested.
| will ask you to forgive me, too" he
added to Farley, "for taking away your
guest" He was quite himself again, and
bore no trace of his late agitation. Good
by, little Sweetheart, l must CO." He
raised her fingers to his lips and kissed
them, and shook hands formally all
round. 1--WE shall meet again, 1 trust, +"
he said to O'Rourke. Can you spend
the evening with me?"
II am afraid 1 should be dull tonight"
returned O'Rourke. 81 was up at six
yesterday morning, and have had no rest
as yet. Can we meet tomorrow"
when you WILL" returned Dobroski,
and so with a final salute all round he
went his way.
A corridor or covered passage led direct
through the hotel from the garden to
the village street, and he took that way.
Passing the center window of the larger
salon he encountered the glance of Atha-
nos Zeno. who seized the opportunity to
bow and smile. Dobroski suddenly re-
called to mind the fact that he had left
the photograph upon the ledge Of that
same window, and retracing his steps, he
entered the hotel once more. He found
Mr.. Zeno standing at the window, tapping
his teeth with the ivory paper knife, and
the polite Levantine made way for him
with dancing masters grace. When the
old man stopped for the photograph which
still lay where he had left it, Mr.. Zeno
spoke.
"Ahp' said he, in German, "that is
yours, sir. A striking countenance. A
friendY
IAN acquaintance" returned Dobroski.
"a delightful art. And useful. So
charming to have the face of friend be-
fore one even in absence"
Mr. Zeno stood smiling until the old
man with bent head had once more passed
the window. Then his face fell suddenly
into a thoughtful frown.
"A trap for me?" he said to himself.
st think not. Even if so, a trap that
caught nothing. He knew that clumsy
canaille whom he caught in the woods the
other night, but he never guessed that
meant he should know him. must find
him another to discover, and after that
another. He has some great coup on
hand. He is not spending the better part
of year in this perfect quietude and in
this little village for nothing. Well, he
foiled Mauritz, and he foiled Bernardo,
and he foiled Arnaud. Let us see II he
will foil me-"

That the cost of living is steadily in
creasing in other countries, as well as
in the United States, Is undoubtable. In
Germany prices have advanced to such
an extent that what were 4 few years
ago taken as a matter Of course and
regarded Gs necessities, are now dis
tinctly luxuries to the middle classes.
In a recent address the mayor of the
City Of Stuttgart. which has a popu-
lation of 247,O0O, stated that during
the last twelve months the clty's meat
supply had cost about 100000 more
than for the preceding year. The agri-
cultural products consumed in the city
cost at least 100000 more than the
year before. Owing to this great In.
crease Of cost the city was compelled to
raise the wages of all its laborers and
employees. Reports of like conditions
come from almost all other German
cities.-Harper'S Weekly.

NO" was the calm answer.
Then pray" were the last words Of
the big fellow.
The crowd did not expect to see the
ngure move, but in an Instant the man
was on his knees praying with fervor.
Several minutes had elapsed when
horses hOofs were heard grinding over
the rocky road. A minute more and a
young woman of comedy appearance
threw herself from her horse and sob
bed upon the neck Of the kneellng man.
Joe, Joe, what is the trouble? oh.

she sobbed, with the tears binding her
and rolling down her ashen cheeks
Joe, l love yOu-love yOu-love you.
Do you understand she cried.
He said nothing, not even returning
her caresses, and, staring straight
ahead, seemed to be lost In oblivion.
The words Of the big fellow, clad In
the blue flannel shirt, chaps and boots
seemed TO tear apart the heartstrings
of the young woman as she fell to the
ground with a sob.
"Walt, wait" she pleaded to the mob.
II wish to say something. Listen to
me, for Gods sake!"
The girls eyes were dull and llstless
She spoke in a monotone, without ges-
lures Of any kind. Her plain black
dress, with the white ashen hue of her
cheeks, made a contrast not to be for
gotten In a moment.

The Levantine advanced, halted before
the trio, and raised his hat.
Il beg you to pardon my intrusion, :"
he said, speaking in German to Fraser.
You were good enough to help me once
before. have a postcard here which 1
cannot read. Will you be SO kind as to

Fraser graciously took the postcard
and translated it into German. A Brus-
sells chemist wrote that one or two of
the ingredients in the prescription for
warded to him by Mr.. Athanos Zeno were
not commonly used in Belgium and that
he had been compelled to send to England
for them. The prescription would be
made up and forwarded in a day or two.
Mr.. Athanos Zeno raised his hat once
more and accepted the proffered postcard
from Fraser's fingers, processing his in
finite obligation. He had received the
prescription some years ago from an Eng
fish physician whom he had met at Ber-
lin. 1t had always done him a great deal
of good. He was a little unwell now,
and he had been recommended to Janenne
because of it's famous air. He had ex-
pected to have had friends with him who
spoke the language, but they had not ar
rived 1t was not very cheerful to be all
alone there, and to exchange a word with
nobody. He trusted to be forgiven this
intrusion.
Fraser intimated, in his own lordly and
understanding way, that he should be
happy at any time during his brief stay
in Janenne to be of service, and Mr..
Athanos Zeno, with bow to each in
turn, withdrew himself.

"That?" returned Dobroski, with a very
singular smile. THAT is a warning which

advancing to the window and STOPPING
forward, he tapped the photograph twice
or thrice with a forefnger as he spoke

for the single phrase. "a Pole and

raised into an expression of incredulous
wrath, and he broke off with the curious
cackling laugh with which he had greeted
