Lax0n's letter had been intended to
alarm her SO terribly that She would
be forced into granting him all he
asked, from the shock and surprise as
we'll as fear.
Laxon had fixed the woods for their
meeting, and she had to make her
plans carefully. It was great risk.
How was she to get there and back
without being discovered?
She left the study by the long
French window. The night was dark,
and she was soon on the lawn in front
of the house; from thither she got
noiselessly across to the paths she
had to take.
Any woman might well have been
nervous and timid Of that dark, weird
walk; but Dorothy had no fear. She
glanced neither to the right nor the
left, but walked on quickly-so
quickly that her heart beat to suffo-
cation and sharp pain came in her
side.
She passed the tennis court, on and
on, till she came to the rose garden

and turned her face down to the
woods.
A little way from the gates she
stopped.

neither had gone. All this Dorothy

countess by simply breathing George
Laxon's name.
He had heard Laxon, in drunken
bout, speak Of her in a jeering, slight

there was some secret, but not gain

was.
Dorothy had soon discovered this.
and she did not spare him; on the
other hand, she rejoiced, If such a
term can be used. to think that he
had given her hint as to Laxon's
movement, and put her on her guard.
After dinner, when the ladies were

great commotion in the hall, and
Dorothy, asking sharply what It
meant, was told that Virginie had

on to the side colonnade, and had
captured him as a burglar. With a
sharp exclamation, Dorothy put down
her cup of coffee and swept to the

~Virginie says this man was found

looking troubled.

he could make things horribly un-

one of the footmen. "Her ladyship

Come here, my man. don't be afraid,
With that he held out five-pound
note, offering it to the grimy creature
whom Dorothy knew in her heart had
fully intended robbing him of all he
could conveniently lay hands on.
With dazzling smile Dorothy
swept over to the man, who stood
blinking and gazing at her sparkling
diamonds with sullen and covetous
admiration. When she was close to
him he shiyered at her angry glance,

ROCKVILLE. Md, August 1.-THE
withdrawal of Representative George A.

can congressional nomination in this dis
trict caused general surprise in Mont
