NO. 1 said decidedly. ''As to time,

The doctor looked serious. He
seemed to be debating some question

Excellent Definition.

"Bjornstjerne Bjornson, in his hotel
fronting the Tuileries gardens, re
ceived a few friends up to the last in
Paris" said the continental agent of a
typewriter firm.
ST had the honor to be among those
friends and 1 never wearied of the
great Norseman's wit and wisdom.
1.-The last thing he said to me, in
cauttoning me not to give an impor-
tant provincial agency to an easy-go-
ing man of the world, was this:
"'Beware the easy-going man. An
easy-going man, you know, is one who
makes the path of life very rough and
difficult for somebody else"

why did both she and DR.. Walker
warn away from the house?
Who was Lucien Wallace?
What did Thomas see in the shadows
the night he died?
What was the meaning of the subtle
change in Gertrude?
Was Jack Bailey accomplice or
victim in the looting of the Traders
bank?
What all-powerful reason made Louise
determine to marry DR.. Walker?
The examiners were still working
on the books of the Traders bank. and
it was probable that several weeks
would elapse before everything was
cleared up The firm of expert &C.
countants who had examined the books
some two months before testified that
every bond, every piece of valuable
paper, was there at that time. 1t
had been shortly after their examina-
ton that the president, who had been
in bad health, had gone to California
Mr.. Bailey was still i'll at the Knicker-
booker, and in this, as in other ways,
Gertrude's conduct puzzled me. She
seemed Indifferent refused to discuss
matters pertaining to the bank, and
never, to my knowledge, either wrote
to him or went to see him Gradual
ly L came to the conclusion that Ger
trude, with the rest of the world, be-
lieved her lover guilty, and-although
1 believed it myself. for that matter
I was irritated by her Indifference.
| Girls in my day did not meekly accept
the public's verdict as to the man
| they loved
But presently something occurred
| that made me think that under Ger
trude's surface calm there was a seeth-
| ing flood of emotions.
Tuesday morning the detective
made a careful search of the grounds
but he found nothing. In the after
noon he disappeared, and it was late
1 that night when he came home. He
| said he would have to go back to the
| city the following day, and arranged
with Halsey and Alex to guard the
/ house.
Liddy came to me on Wednesday

CHAPTER XXI.
Fourteen Elm Street.

Fourteen Elm Street.
1t was Monday evening when we
found the body of poor Thomas. Mon
day night had been uneventful; things
were quiet at the house and the pc
culiar circumstances of the old mans
death had been carefully kept from
the servants. Rosie took charge of
the dining room and pantry, in the abb
sence of butler, and, except for the
warning of the Casanova doctor, every
thing breathed of peace.
Affairs at the Traders bank were
progressing slowly. The failure had
hit small stockholders very hard, the
minister of the little Methodist chapel
in Casanova among them He had
received as a legacy from an uncle
few shares of stock in the Traders
bank, and now his joy was turned to
bitterness; he had to sacrifice every
thing he had in the world, and his
feeling against Paul Armstrong, dead,
as he was, must have been bitter in
the extreme He was asked to Of
fciate at the simple services when the
dead bankers body was inferred in
Casanova churchyard, but the good
man providentially took cold, and a
substitute was called in
A few days after the services he
called to see me, kind-faced little
man, in a very bad frock-coat and
Numbered tie. I think he was uncer-
tain as to my connection with the
Armstrong family, and dubious wheth-
er 1 considered Mr.. Armstrong; tax

congratulation- He was not long in

/ liked the little man. He had known
| Thomas well, and had promised to of

! African Zion church He told me more
| of himself than he knew, and before
he left l astonished him-and myself
1 admit-by promising a new carpet
| for his church. He was much affected
| and / gathered that he had yearned
over his ragged chapel as a mother
| over a half-clothed child
You are laying up treasures, Miss

In an address on botanical educa-

and a tendency to easy generalittes
