LHa Ola not answer, but turned her
lace resolutefy toward AbbotshoId. The
pony carriage went dashing by her
swiftly. Soon she emerged into a wids
road, on each side of which stood fine
Old houses IN large gardens. The towerL
OF the old cathedral stood dark against
the primrose evening sky, from which
the golden and purple glow had faded
by the time that Leila entered tho town.
All at once her thoughts came down to
everyday matters. 1t was a simple cause
which recalled them-the rumbling OF a
cab IN hot haste down the High stree; OF
Abbotshold. Leila walked along the
pavement half carelessly, watching this
cab and wondering whittier it was bound.
IL stopped before n stately cid house,
the residence of a DR.. Marks, the most
eminent medical man in Abbotshold.
By the time Leila reached the front
door, the passenger from the cab stood
on the step ringing and knocking. 1t
was sDfne little time before the impatient
summons was answered. The man turn
ed round and looked at Leila, and she
recognized a valet of Arthur Calthorpe's,
a man whom his master had once or twice
sent to st. Martha's with presents OF
fruit and flowers for Miss Leigh and
Miss Pritchard, the principal of the col
lege. ]
The man touched his hat. Leila's heart
seemed to stand still, the quaint street
reeled around her, the great towers of
the cathedral rocked, the blue hills re
coded. She clutched at the pillar of the
portico for support. She was giddy and
faint from emotion. Her first thought
was, Arthur Calthorpe is i'll, and WAGE
is sent for the DOCTOR.
isis Mr.. Caltharpe HIP asked
Leila.
NO, miss the earl, his lordship, is in
a ft-a stroke, something Of that kind"
Leila walked on now, feeling that sense
of relief touching the one life which was
precious to her. Pity for the old earl
was the next sentiment; and then came
the quick thought, if he should die!
Arthur would then be his own master
he would be Lord Beryl, Would his
heart remain faithful under his new hon
ors? But if so would Ellen Watson be
made the legal Countess Of Beryl?
Leila felt one of those duh, heavy, per-
sistent convictions which assail us all at
times. She walked on sorrowfully. The
High street was nearly deserted in the
cool of the evening. The inhabitants
of the town were in their gardens, or
on the river, or in the woods and lanes.
Leila met nobody at all interesting I'M
til she reached the door of the librarian
and book seller, Mr.. Garfield. At the
door of the shop stood the pretty open
carriage and roam ponies of Miss Wat
son, as Leila persisted in calling the am
bilious schemer. in her heart. a boy
was holding the ponies.
Leila did not choose again to encounter
that woman. She walked on, glancing
back every. now and then to make sure
that Miss Watson was still in the shop.
She walked on some distance. To the
left was q quaint Old street. in which
stood the ''Black Wolf" inn, opposite
to the ancient Abbey church. She still
walked on. She was struck by the pic
| turesque aspect of the old inn. She paus
ed a moment to look at it, and Arthur
Calthorpe advanced from under the porcl
TO meet her.

FRANKLIN's PARIS HOME RAzED.
Or Old Structure Had Been in E1-
~iXtence More Than Il Century.

Oh. Old Structure Had Been In Ez-
istence More Than II Century.
A Paris correspondent writes inter
pstingly of some changes that have
buen made not far from the Elysees,
where among a number of Old-fash-
toned houses at the corner of two mar
row streets, the Rue Matignon and the
Rue de Penthievre, there has stood
for mor than a century an old farm
house, which evidently belonged to an
other period and country, says the
Boston Herald. This house is now
demolished, and was. the story runs,
at one time the residence of Benjamin
Franklin, the first American minister
TO France. The writer says he had
the curiosity to go and look at the
place and was struck by the contrast
it presented to the buildings about il.
1t was simply an average-sized New
England farmhouse in tumbledown
condition, with small windows and
thin brick walls on the ground floor,
and as for the upper story,i it was sim
ply a low garnet with three pointed
windows looking out from shabby
wooden frames on the Rue de Pen
thievre. The brick wall did not go
beyond the ground floor. and the gar
retiike su~perstructure was of COM
mon white pine wood, which was rot
ten with age. The whole was covered
by a dilapidated tile roof.
So characteristic, in fact, of old CO.
lonial and pioneer days did it look, it
was easy to believe that Franklin not
only lived in it, but probably had it
built and furnished the design him
self. 1t is not likely any Partisan ar
chitect in those days had seen a house
like that or could have imagined the
design. Little wooden stairs from the
street led up to the garnet on the out
side Of the house, and to make the pic
ture complete the yard was closed In
by a real old-fashioned New England
board fence with a gate hanging lop-
sided on one rusty hinge, the other
hinge having broken off long ago.
That such a queer old cottage should
be still standing within a few steps of
the presidents palace was itself a GU
riosity and shows that in those days
the spot was practically in the coun-
try where Franklin, who had simple,
rustic tastes, liked to reside. How
many of the hordes of American tour
lists, or even residents, have ever
known of the existence of this queer
New England house in the heart Of
Paris? #t

PEOPLE WHO DISAPPEAR.

Love Affairs and Family Differences
Often the Reason.
women DO not disappear as much as
men," said Mr.. Hartley. an internation-
al detective, who was interviewed in
reference tp Il mysterious disappear
ance which is now attracting much
public attention, says the London
Graphic.
When a woman goes it is usually 8
love affair. Either the parents object
to the man, or there Is some other
cause. And it is important to remem-
Der what cunning schemers women can
be. Even quite young girls may be
wonderfully clever in keeping things
from their parents. During the course
OF my work I am very skeptical OF
ONE for this reason. A girl might
arrange for her lover or some one sent
by him to meet her, and it would be a
very simple matter for her to give her
friends the slip in a crowded street.
OF course very often we get cases Of
sudden loss Of memory happening to
people who are in the best Of health
and spirits, but n rarely finds this
occur to a young girl, n where the
tendency does exist the family or
friends usually know of it and keep
watch accordingly. Again, it is pos
slblc a girl does not like the prospect
Of going home after she has been away
for q holiday, and some one with whom
she was. in touch might assist her in
carrying out a plan Of her own.
"Disappearances are very common
not only in London, but in Paris and
New York, but the public seldom hear
Of them. Not only girls, but old men
and others disappear. Generally these
are not cases of kidnapping they had to
do with family or business matters, and
as the families as a rule do not wish
the police to know the circumstances
they employed private detectives. Thus
the outside world does not get to know
of half Of the disappearance and their
causes.
"Crime sometimes enters into these
sudden disappearance. A cool head
ted theft or felony either In business
or private life win take it into his head
to disappear and make a fresh start
In life somewhere else. A few years
ago a gentleman whose family was
high In the social world vanished. He
had been suspected of robbing his
brother-in-1aw during a period Of pres
sure in the latter's business. The vic
tim knew tina If he informed the po-
lice his brother-ln-law would stand in
danger Of being prosecuted, so he hand
ed the case owe to me. It was proved
that the man had actually beer rob-
bling him right and left, but for the
sake of his wife he was allowed-and
even assisted-to disappear.
"A husband walked out of his fiat In
Marylebone one day and was not
heard of. His wife searched for three
months herself, then came to me. She
knew her husband could not have en-
dured hardship or adventure, because
he was physically unable to do much
for himself. 1t was a troublesome
case, but eventually 1 found the hus-
band n a nursing home. What had
happened was that the, mans parents
were strict living people, who did not
go to the theater and did not drink
stout. They did not think their sons
wife-who did these things-was good
enough for him, and they chose this
a of getting him away from her."
