CHAPTER XIII.


Nearly three weeks had now passed
DR.. Petrovitch and his daughter from
the house in Cromwell road
The eleverness with which the removal
of their household goods had been ef-
fected. and the cunning and ingenuity
displayed regarding them, showed Max
Barclay plainly that the disappear
ance had been carefully planned. and
that those assisting had been we'll paid
for keeping the secret.
And yet. after all. il was quite pos
sible that the men who had removed the
hired for the job, and had gone away
thinking that they had acted quite legiti-
mately. Harmer's stores often engage
extra hands, and what would have been
easier than for the foreman to have
paid them, and driven the van with the
false name upon 1t 10 another part Of
London. That was, no doubt. what really
been done.
Max had devoted the greater part of
his time TO endeavouring TO elucidate
the mystery but had failed ignominiously
The statement made by Marion con-
cerning what seemed to be some con-
fession Of Maud greatly puzzled him.
His well-beloved was loyal 10 her friend,
and would not betray her Times with
out number he had reverted to the ques-
ton, but she always evaded his ques-
tionS
Only few evenings before. while the,
were seated at one OF the little tables on
the lawn OF the Welcome Club AZ the
Earls Court Exhibition, OF which he was
member, he had again referred 10
Maud, and asked her. in the interests
of his inquiry. to give him some idea OF
what she had stated on that night when
they last met
Il really cannot tell you, Max was
her reply. as she lifted her eyes 10 his
in the dim light shed by the colored
lamps with which the place was Hum
mated. Have / not already told you OF
the promise I gave her? You surely do
not wish me to break II, Would it be
fair. or just? I'm sure you. who are
always loyal 20 a woman, would never
wish me 70 mention what she told me-
"Of course. if 1t is anything against
her reputation-her hoqor-then it is GER
tainly best left unsaid,' he replied quick
ly. "Only-well. II thought. perhaps
il might give Us clew TO the motive of
their unaccountable flight"
Perhaps it might" she admitted;
"and yet I cannot tell you"
Does Charlie know? Would he tell
me- do you think?''
II don't think Charlie knows At any
rate, she would not tell him. II he does
know, it must be through some other
source"
And you anticipate that what Maud
told You had some connection with their
sudden disappearance he asked. look
! ing steadfastlv into the face Of the wom-
an he dearly loved
I've already told you So.
But when you parted from her that
night, did you believe that you would not
/ meet her again.
She was silent, looking straight before
her at the crowd of idlers circulating
around the illuminated bandstand and
enjoying the music and the cool air after
the sitting London day

was at that moment. The papers never
mentioned them for fear of an action for
libel As far as he had seen there was
nothing peculiar or extraordinary about
the place. The hall and the library were
very handsomely furnished. as befitted
the home of ones OF England's wealthiest
men. The fact that Levi had been called
into conference even was not remarkable.
for the reason had already been explain
ed 70 him briefly, in half a dozen words.
But you have your ain circle of good
friends here, 1 suppose?" suggested the
Scot. as the grea: man had not replied
TO his question.
No" replied Statham. Nobody comes
here-nobody enters my door"
But why?"
Master and servant exchanged glances.
II was direct question to which it was
impossible to give truthful reply with
out the revelation OF a secret.
And so Samuel Statham lied TO his best,
humble, yet most devoted friend.

MOIsTENED MILK A LITTLE.

From the Minneapolis Journal
Des MOines has been having trouble in
the courts with a milkman who ran q
thirty-three- gallon milk route on the ff-
teen gallons given by his cows. Everett
Solomon, formerly an employe at the
dairy lent human interest 10 the story
by telling how such trick could be done.
Now. how did you supply thiry-three
gallons each Gay from the fifteen gallons
you say you got from the eighteen cows
Judge Brennon sat up and looked curl
ously at the witness, who hesitated mo-
ment
I'VE bought other milk some Of the
time"
And how else?'
well, We put water in II" replied Solo
mon.
You used to receive visits from the
milk inspector there, did you not?"
Yes. sir.
How did you keep him from knowing
that the milk was watered?"
why. we were always careful 10 show
him the very best milk we had" said
Solomon with delightful sang frold.
If the milk looks little blue around the
gills this cold weather, the incident re-
lated above may throw light on II.

From Womnn's Life
The male amanuensis has been hope
lessly beaten in the race by the busy
woman scholar. Her industry is tireless
and her knowledge absolutely thorough.
Her winning qualification is patience-the
dry details which slacken a mans atten-
ton are vigorously grappled with in her
case. so that the demand for her labor
and knowledge is on the increase. In q
few years. however. she will have wiped
the male amanuensis out of existence. But
IL is Characteristic Of her that the British
Museum is the only great building in Lon
don in which one never sees pretty cos
tume-except inside the cover of a book.

The fashionable woman may adopt the
round decolletage or the V neck, and her
dress may be pointed back and front If
she so desires. Then again she may have
the lace or net sleeves reach to the
knuckles or 10 the elbow, or to the wrist:
OF she may have not the least suggestion
OF sleeve at all. If she has not a pretty
arm. however. and feels that she does not
wish to make an exhibition OF its color
or shape or skinniness. she adopts the
trailing picture sleeve-tlat indefinite chif-
fony affair which is perhaps the prettiast
and most feminine of all.

Those who were with Mr. Bryan when
he went a-soldiering declare that he was
the ideal regimental commander. He was
deeply interested in his men. and bring
ing complaints 10 him through the proper
channels had no sympathy from him.
He did not Ike such red tSpe. and he
wanted his soldiers 70 feel flee to come
direct 10 him when they had a real
grievance. only asking them to make
sure that their troubles were real before
they came. As result he had the deep
est affection OF his men Wien any OF
them were on the sick list he was always
10 be found. when opportunity permitted
visiting them and giving them words Of
hope and cheer. Upon one occasion. a
Virginia soldier got into the water. and
was caught by an undertOw and carried
out to sea. Several men tried 10 rescue
him and were in danger OF being drown
ed themselves Mr.. Bryan ran and got a
rope and threw Il out TO them. thus saw
ing their lives. He had bought the rope
for just such an emergency. They after
wards joined in singing Throw Out the
Lifeline" and il was a song that went
home.
Farming is the ideal vocation in the
eyes of Mr.. Bryan He says that the
wife can, without sacrifice OF dignity
look after the milk. make the butter, and
care for the chickens and that the chill
dren can be given such light work as
will be good for them, developing their
bodies and at the same time teaching
them valuable lessons of thrift and in
dustry-
Should Mr.. Bryan reach the goal OF
his ambition, he will be the third grand
child of Virginia to reach 1t. With
Washington, Jefferson. Madison, Monroe,
the elder Harrison. Tyler. and Taylor as
native sons, Virginia added a grandson
in Lincoln, another in Benjamin Harri-
son. and hopes to add another in Mr.
Bryan, for Virginia is a Democratic
State.

Grant TO that list. The first case which

Mr. Bryan got was al Jaeksc cnville. III
IL was before a justice Of the peace for
the collection OF an assumpsit debt Of S4A
with a ratio Of cost and interest 20 his
fee Of about sixteen 70 one. His first case
IN Lincoln, Nebr.. wSs during the hOli-
days in 1857. He was very successful in
damage suits against railroads and other
cases where sympathy was a factor An
early case at Lincoln WaE a divorce suit
which has become rather famous for the
big aliInony he secured for his client.
Mrs. Matte Herick- Cne OF his favorite
legal maxims has been that law that

As Mr.. Bryan is a leader in the move
ment 10 reform political campaigns. IL is
interesting 10 note what he considers the
legitimate expenses Of a political cam
paign. In discussing his defeat in 1896 he
says that the Republicans were better on
In funds for the legitimate expenses OF
the fight. These he sums Up as the ex-
penses for the circulation OF literature,
the travelling expenses OF speakers. the
securing OF preliminary polls, and the
getting OF the vote registered and polled
Mr.. BRYAN can illustrate a point about
as well as the next man. In describing
a hide-bound partisan, he says he is the
sort Of man who, when asked II he would
vote the Democratic ticket. replied: NO,
a thousand times no. Why. I would rath-
er go 70 sea in a boat OF stone, with
sails OF iron. oars Of lead. the wrath Of
God FOR gale. and hell Cor my port.
In Congress Mr.. Bryan wes rather q
remarkable figure. He broke long pre-
cedent by getting on the Ways and
Means Committee during his first term
IN the House. He was watchful and
careful Of the interests OF his constitu-
ents, and IL is said that he got more pen
sions for the old soldiers OF his district
than all OF his predecessors together. IN
everything that pertained 70 the tarin
and money Mr.. Bryan could be relied
on 70 be In the midst Of the fight. One
OF his strongest efforts, outside OF the
political fights he was in. was 10 provide
a base for the monument 20 Gen. William
T. Sherman. which stands at the south
/ front Of the Treasury Building in Wash
ington. He was successful IN this effort
His opponent, when he ran for Con-
gress the first time was a silver Repuh-
lican. After Mr.. BFyan's first term he
was charged with lack OF loyalty TO sill
Yer, in that he had not apparently done
anything in it's behalf. He answered this
cratic members of the Coinage Commit
work, and that this occupied his whole
attention. The plea won, and his second
term was devoted TO the interests Of sill

carry William L. Wilson around on his
shoulders when the House passed the
/ Wilson bin.

FRED'S ~FAITHFULNESS.
nv ABRAHAM HANDLER. AGED II.

TIRED was a poor country lad. At
the time our story opens a gen
tleman who was staying at the
inn was suddenly called to the city.
He owned a favorite dog of whom he
was very fond, but the dog was taken
i'll just as he vas about to leave. He
could not take the dog with him and
didn't want to sell him, so seeing Fred
he gave the dog into his charge. say
ing at the same time. Keep this dog
for me. Treat him kindly and do not
sell him, and when I return I will re-
ward you for keeping him for me-"
Fred promised to do this and was
faithful to his trust for a long time.
AS he was so poor, it was very hard to
get along and many people offered him
money for the dog, which he could have
used to buy food. But he struggled
along through the winter and finally
was rewarded for his faithfulness, for
the gentleman returned at last and was
so pleased thai he praised Fred and
made him a handsome present.
