sense as of disturbing revelations or even
menace. in this unexpected visit, took pos
session of her mind. Who the Countess
could be and what the purpose OF her ap..

conjecture. She reflected rapidly that a
scene might be impending, and tevenSh

Flashes of intuition laid bare startling
thoughts in swiftly moving progression
Whence Unexpectedly, came her courage
and even a desire to behold this mysterious
visitor, she could not herself have deter
mined. She merely knew, abruptly, that to
see this Countess might even be a duty TO
them all.
"You may wait" she said to the eXpectant
maids, and proceeded lightly down the stars.
A moment later she entered the reception
room, and a small, dark eyed young woman,
flaming both inwardly and outwardly, rose
from a chair TO confront her.

"WEDNESDAY OF that eventful week
w was scheduled for developments dis
turbing and sensational. Thurley returned
to the avenue home at four in the afternoon
from a drive with Lady HonOre Calthorp
and Kelsey Woods. expecting TO dress for
afternoon tea and be driven to a rendezvous
with Alice, that they might proceed together
to Mrs Ashley Duanes.
She found a note on her table, addressed
in the once familiar hand OF Acton Gaillard
1t was brief but charged with significance:
You cvadcd my proposal and gave me nc
definite answer in the park. | wish 70 know
once for all and without delay. VIII you be my

depths OF her girllshly timld heart.
She had hoped to postpone this too det

the others, according to her promise made

been to tell him precisely what he was ana
dismiss him forever from her life. She real

power OF his knowledge of the past She was
vcXcd and frightened together, loathing the
man for attempting TO take this advantage
of the situation, yet afraid TO answer to his
curt demand with the Scorn and indignation
that he had always mcntcd, She was wholly
unstrung, especially IN the absence OF Alice,
on whom She had learned 10 lean for the WIS
dom and calm OF her rpcncd worldllnesS.
SHE still stood unmovlng, the letter in her
~ hand, while her maids, Annette and
sophie, were patiently awaiting her pleasure
10 be dressed, when one of the servants
knocked at the door and delivered a card
which Sophie received and carried at once 10

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
They Are Coming Soon.

The statement by the Burlington
Free Press that large interests have
been locking over Mount Mansfield re-
glon with a. view to erecting sum-
mer hotel will be indeed pleasing in
formation to those who have asserted
again and again that there is no pref
tier location for a hostelry of this
sort than right in the Vermont noun
tains and preferably about Mount
Mansfield. The great increase of
summer traffic toward Vermont has
turned the attention of the hotel in
terests this way apparently. Barre
Times.
The Everlasting Truth.
In reply to suggestion by Yer
mont editor that the people of his
town could get just as good trades in
tea and coffee or other groceries at
home as from mail order houses, a
reader said that they looked all
through the advertising columns of
that editor s paper and could not find
single pound of tea or coffee men,
toned in the town, therefore he
should send to people willing to tell
what they had. Newspapers are ex-
pected to give lot of space free tell
ing why their readers should trade at
home and let the local dealers set
back on the fact they have been there
for 80 years or more and everybody
knows them. Business men could and
should help keep business at home by
doing little up to-date advertising.

Good Hotels Do Pay.
The hotels in Vermont which have
been able to entertain guests comfort
ably have had all the business that
they could attend to this season. In
every case no doubt the proprletors of
these successful hostelries will make
it point to better their service and
accommodations next year. This is
what is going to improve Vermont
conditions. The hotel keepers them.
selves are finding out that they can do
things if they try. The successful
ones set the example for the less en-
terprising but all will catch the spirit
in time. 1t is safe to say, too, that
there will be more new hotels in Yer
mont next year. There's money in it
and if native Vermonters do not take
up the business more rapidly it will
not be long before outsiders will be
coming in to do it. Good oportuni-
ties are not left long in these times
after they are once brought to notice.
The publicity Vermont is getting now
is calling the attention of outsiders to
the opportunities that are waiting
here and they will surely grab them
In time. Clipper.

Some time ago a Chicago paper
made a canvass of Vermont news
papers to determine their position in
national politics. The result showed
that they we're overwhelmingly for
Taft and the state press forthwith
gave forth columns of editorials upon
Vermont's position as purely for Taft.
The expression of local sentiment has
led the Monitor to wonder if Vermont
