CHAPTER VII.
Will-o-'- -'-the-Wisp.

A new year was opening on the
just and unjust-the fortunate and
the unfortunate. Lady Gethin had
arrived in town after a prolonged
Christmas visit to some attentive rela-
tives in one of the midland countries.
1t was the day after her return.
She was thinking, with an unusually
softened expression on her strong
fase, of her favorite, Hugh Glynn.
She had been intensely anxious about
him during his severe illness. She
had constantly visited his sickroom,
and satisfied herself that nurses and
servants were doing their duty.
When he was slowly struggling
back to life and strength she accom-
panied him to a south coast bathing
place, and gave him the great benefit
of her companionship, for she knew
how to be sympathetically silent, as
we'll as congenially talkative. In
this prolonged tete-a-tete Glynn grew
sincerely and gratefully attached t@
the outspoken, free-thinking old
woman.
Attachment brought confidence,
and before they parted Hugh Glynn
had told her the strange history of
his sudden love for Elsie Lambert, Of
the hold it had taken of him in spite
of reason, prudence, worldly wisdom
every motive that ought to guide
a man of his maturity and experience.
In the story of Elsie's disappear
ance Lady Gethin was profoundly in
terested, though to Glynn's disap-
pointment and indignation, she did |
not hesitate to declare her belief that |
the young lady eloped voluntarily and
had probably since Informed her !
father of her Whereabouts-a fact he |
might think it wiser not to divulge.
Reviewing these conversations,
Lady Gethin sat forgetful of her
book, when the object of her thoughts
was announced.
why didn't you come to dinner?"
she exclaimed, holding out her hand.
Because 1 have been dining ear
,ier than usual at the house of a
cousin of mine in the suburbs, where
have been officiating as godfather to
lis frst-born SON.
"a very Datriarchal proceeding.
Who is this cousin-do [ know him.
81 think not; he is a cousin on my
mothers side, and has a cure of souls
at Clapham."
"Well, Hugh, and how are you!
You look better and stronger"
Il am. I have turned the corner
and am beginning to pull mechanl-
cally against the collar once more"
"You have been across the Chan
nel?"
"Yes; l ran over to Paris for lit
tie change, just before Christmas.
Paris draws me like magnet.
"A magnetism you ought to resist.
How is the beautiful city?'
beautiful as ever: but there is
mischtet IN the air. However, L am
no prophet. 1 wandered about the
old scenes like a troubled ghost, and
[ saw Lambert.
Indeed! l wish, Hugh, you would
break away from all the painful asso-
Citations with that man; you can do
him no good"
'True; but I have the most pro-
found pity for him, all the more that
he seems by no means glad to see
me. I fancy his terrible misfortune
has affected his brain. He is sullen,
and averse to speak of anything that

WHAT DOGS KNOW.

Dogs have. the brains, but whether
they give proof of it depends entirely
upon our treatment of them. We had
a collie given to us when a puppy
that learned to do many things; one
was to go up stairs every afternoon
and bring down shawl that was
done up in a strap and laid on GER
tain chair. When he grew to big
dog our lawn was too small for him
to get the necessary exercise, so we
gave him back to his former owner.
After being away for three months,
he was brought back to see US.
felt curious to know whether he
would remember some of the things
that had been taught him, and con-
cluded to test him with the shawl.
I had it placed in the same chair and
room where he had been in the habit
of getting it. After he had been in
the house q few minutes I said, Rob
in, you go up stairs and get my
shawl" He looked at me, but did
move. Then I repeated what l had
said. He darted off up stairs and
came running down with it in his
mouth and handed it. to me. We all
felt like applauding him.
Another proof that animals think
was given by little skye terrier who
did everything but talk. There was
a fence around the lawn and he was
never allowed to go out alone, but IN
the spring when the ground was SOFT
he would dig a hole under the fence
and go on a little outing. One day
he was discovered digging. I knocked
on the window and said: mo, Tat
ters." He looked up at me, then de-
liberately went around back OF the
house and began to make another
hole. In front of his home was an
open field and across that was a
house where this same little dog had
a fancy for calling, and where ne
knew we objected to his going. He
was scolded for disobeying, and final
ly given a gentle chastisement. we
aattered ourselves he was conquered
it last. but his fertile brain was equal
TO the occasion. Missing him one
day, we saw him going up the street.
Then he went around the block till
he got to the house, where he stayed
for half an hour, then came back
home the same way, instead of taking
. short cut across the field as he had
been in the habit of doing, and where
he knew we would be sure to see

Boulevards.
In the first instance he greeted
Glynn with the frankest expression
of sorrow and sympathy for the great
misfortune which had befallen Lam
bert, mentioning his own deep grief,
and his compassionate forgiveness of
Lambert's injurious accusations
against himself.
Glynn found Lambert in state of
furious excitement after this visit,
and uttering violent ha1f-unintelli-
gible threats against Vincent.
On their second meeting Glynn
tried to pass him, but in vain, and
was obliged to listen to a string of
suggestions and conjectures respect
ing the supposed fugitive which near
ly drove him to throttle his interlo-
cutor and fling him into the street
under the hoofs of the passing horses,
especially as he felt that Vincent's
small, penetrating, watchful eyes
were intently, searchingly fixed on
his face while he spoke.
At length letters from his partners
obliged him to quit the scene of so
much suffering and disaster.
1t was with the deepest reluctance
that Glynn bid Lambert goodbye.
The unhappy father still wore the
same aspect of helplesness, of sullen
submission to the Irresistible. He
scarcely needed Glynn's announce
ment of his immediate departure, and
10 ,.nn11oc+
for the earliest information respect
ing any crumbs of intelligence in the
affirmative. He put Glynn's card in
his pocketbook mechanically. Yet he
wrung his hand hard at parting, and
bid God bless him, brokenly-yet
heartily.
Glynn, not satisfied with Lambert's
promise, obtained an interview with
M. Claude, who was even more curt
and immovable than ever. He, how
ever, condescended to promise that he
would not fail to let him know should
any trace of the missing girl be
found.
The second day after he had re-
sumed his attendance at the Office he
found himself too faint and dizzy to
continue the writing on which he was
engaged. His head ached intensely,
his pulses throbbed. He rang, and
began to explain to the clerk who
answered his sumomns that he felt so
ill he must return home; but before
he could finish his sentence he fell
heavily at the feet of his startled
hearer. He was conveyed carefully
to his own residence, which he did
not leave for many weeks-not till
he had been brought to the verge of
the grave by a fierce brain fever.

ceed in q dory to secure the tuoy to
the iron and pull the fish in. But
McGraw did not have to do any pull

for the dory like a shot out Of a
gun. McGraw saw it coming and
climbed on the stern board, which is
placed in the stern of the dory for
just such emergency. With a power
full blow the fish jabbed its sword
right through the stern board and slit
McGrnW's oilskins clear up to his
waist.
Not content with this attack, the
fish withdrew it's sword, backed Off
short distance and again came on
full tilt This time its sword broke
off close to the fsh's nose. Minus its
weapon its was not quite so formid-
able, nevertheless it turned and made
a furious attack on a second dory
sent to McGraw's assistance. It was
soon captured after that and was
found to be only a medium-siZed spec

pounds.

that, in the South channel, he saw q
swordfish circling around in an aim
less sort of way and thought he would
like to capture it, though swordish-
ing was somewhat out of his line. He
entered the dory and succeeded in
harpooning the fish. To his conster-
nation the swordfish started off at
about a mile minute clip with the
captain and the dory in tow. His
shipmates on the schooner saw what
had happened and launched a second
dory for pursuit. Had not the fish
finally tired of it's burden the pur-
suers never could have caught UP. AS

chicken had crept into another box,
where cat and her kittens were,
and seemed to have found both

her foster mother. The hen is laying

That the train will do a vast

interest shown by the farmers is an
assurance that they intend to heed the
advice given and try the new methods
advocated by the lecture staff of the
experiment station. A great amount
of good was done in this way last year
and the work is carried on in a more
extensive manner this year. The train
will visit Lacrosse, Hay, Pomeroy,
Dayton, Prescott, Walla Walla and
Touchet and will return to Pullman
next Sunday. The same program will
be carried out at all these places.
The legislature showed its apprecia-
tion of the value of this work by
allowing the full amount asked for,
SIT. 500, for this kind of work, al
though it cut the general appropria-
tion down 500, 900.
