exclaimed Granville, with a look of dis
appointment he struggled hard to con-
ceal; and then continued his search. But,
no; every drawer and cupboard of the
school room is ransacked in vain. Many
a relic of their merry old DAYS there comes
TO light, but nothing in the shape of a
deed or parchment Maude stood aloof
towards the conclusion of the search, half
leaning, half sitting on the table. Her
lace was serious enough now, and the
Well-marked eyebrows rather knit She
felt that the promised smooth water of
the morning was as yet by no means real
lied. Since Granville had kissed her, and
personally told his love, she felt endued
with infinite powers of opposition to the
Pearman alliance.
Its no use, Maude; the paper l want
is not here" said Granville at length.
L must search elsewhere"
SO you shall, Gren. Ring the bell.
| have an idea
Her cousin did as he was bid, and
when stray housemaid, in considerable
beWllderment, eventually made her way
to the disused room, Miss Denison said,
sharply, Tell Mrs. Upcroft she's wanted
here overwhelmingly, mind-and don't
let her be as long about getting here as
you have been"
Now, look here, Gren," continued
Maude, those papers were there. No
body but Mrs. Upcroft would have dared
move them. But, you see, she has known
me as child, and I am always hard put
to it to hold my own with her. If she
don't happen quite to recollect what she's
with TO- oiIy
swer, and won't even try to take the trou-
bic to remember If can make nothing
of her, then you must chime in and fright
en- her. OF course she don't want to con-
ceal them; but she will know she ought
not to have meddled with them, and don't
like what she terms being put out"
There was a tap at the door as Maude
finished her speech, and her cousin had
but just time to give a nod of intelli-
gence as the housekeeper entered
Sorry to disturb you, Mrs. Upcroft,
said Miss Denson, blandly, 'but l want
to know what you have done with the
papers that used to inhabit that drawer"
I'm sure | don't know nothing about
no papers. You might have been sure of
that, | think, Miss Maude, before you
sent for me, and the butcher just here
for orders an all :" and the housekeeper
looked as sulky as she rightly dared. She
had for years done as she pleased with
Mrs. Denison, and was bitterly jealous of
any interference of Miss Maude.
Excuse me, Mrs. Upcroft, if you don't
know anything about the removal of such
papers, you should do so. Things ought
not to be moved from one room to an
other without the knowledge and license
of yourself VIII you be kind enough to
recollect what became of those papers?
They happen just now to be of great inn
portance."
''That's so like you, Miss Maude. You
were just the same as a child. Whatever
you wanted must be done right off at
once. I forget about those old papers
now, and must run away to the butcher !;
but I'll perhaps think what became of
them in little. I'm afraid, though, they
went to light fires with and with ma
licious smile the housekeeper turned to go.

George E. Nitzsche, head of the de-
partment of publicity of Pennsylvania, is
making preparations for a dash to the
North pole next July by means of bal
looms and aeroplanes. Undeterred by the
fate of Andree and the failure of Well
man, Mr. Nitzsche will make the at
tempt along novel lines. He will carry
to the island of Spitzbergen three bal
looms, and probably, in addition, an aero
plane. Spitzbergen is 1925 miles north
of the Arctic circle, and several hun
dreds of miles east of the north coast of
Greenland. If the weather is good he
will have q straight course to travel
until he reaches his goal. The island of
Spitzbergen was carefully inspected last
summer by Mr.. Nitzsche, who, with "A
party of thirty, made a preliminary trip
on the steamship Kongharold. The
weather during the aurvey was so mild
that Mr. Nitzsche was encouraged to be-
lieve that with good fortune, the coming
summer would be also a moderate one,
and he would not be compelled to com
bat the elements at the very start.

CONTINENTAL CONGRESS
BODY OF SMALL POWER.
ton Under Which the Revolution
Was Fought.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 22.-Gov. John
Franklin Fort of New Jersey, speaking
today at the cerebration of George
Washington's birthday conducted by the
Union League club, criticised the arti-
cles of federation and perpetual union of
1878, under which the Revolution was
fought Speaking of the continental
congress Gov. Fort characterized it las
a body of little power and OF little use
fulness." He said: "It is a question
whether the war would not have sooner
ended without it, it then existing under
the articles of confederation, articles use
less for almost any purpose"

digenous preserved fur and feather are
rapidly disappearing in all but the larg-
est and most plentifully stocked shoot

The blame is laid indiscriminately on
poachers and yermin. but few have the
courage to attribute to its real cause the
deterioration of sport. This is nothing
else than the enormous increase in the
numbers of sportsmen and the INSULT

so long ago the number of licensed guns
was only $4,000 whereas it is now Co.,

CHAPTER XVI.

Harold Denison paused. He had never
seen his nephew break through his con-
w1tional, cool. easy manner in this wise
before. He felt that he had been terribly
in earnest all through their interview.
Had he really some clue that might save
him: Then, perhaps, as far as 1t was III
/ bis selfish nature to care for anyone, he
loved that child of his dead sister, who
bail just poured forth this torrent OF tran
tie onrreaty. The cynic mask dropped
nom his face as he extended his hand.
I've had a deal to try me lately,
GeeD: difficulties have thickened and
complicated above my head. You muslin
think anything of what [ say. Show me,
boy, how to raise ten thousand tomorrow
morning, and we'll talk over other things
afterwards At all events, Maude shan
marry Pearman."
Goodnight, UNCLE" said Grenville, as
be cIasped Denison's extended hand. You
can't think how happy you've made me-
Leave NE to work now, and if I'm not IN
position to forbid the banns by break
last tomorrow, may I never have another
brief"
Long and anxiously did Granville wade
through those villainous musty old parch-
atnts that night. 1t was a big box, and
mIrained some two or three hundred such
gu leases, agreements, mortgage deeds

St. Louis recently gave it's brewer friends fact
which do not often appear in liquor papers published

''That this problem is still becoming daily more
