Christine, who was a little short
sighted, pretended that she had seen
many. He smiled at the thought and
then suddenly gave a start. A voice
behind him said:

1t was Christine. He tried to speak.
She put her gloved hand on his mouth.

young man gravely, for it seemed to
him that his friend, in obedience TO
a pious thought, was connecting the

Christine appeared astonished al

INN diately continue her triumph at

night. she sang once at the Duchess
de Zurich's; but this was the last oc-

vate. She refused. without plausible
excuse. TO appear at a charity concert
TO which she had promised her as
sistsnce. She acted throughout as
though she were no longer the mis-.
tress OF her own destiny and as
though she feared a fresh triumph.
She knew that the Comte de
Chagny, TO please his brother, had
done his best on her behalf with NJ.
Richard; and she wrote TO thank him
and also TO ask him to cease speaking
in her favor. Her reason for this
curious attitude was never known.

She showed herself nowhere; and
the Vicomte de Chagny tried in vain
20 meet her. He wrote 10 her, asking
20 call upon her. but despaired OF re-

she sent him tho following note:

him 20 the Care Montparnasse just in

read Ch1stines note over and oyer
again. smelling its perfume, recalling
the SWEET pictures OF his childhood.
and spent the rest OF that tedious
night journey in feverish dreams that
began and ended with Christine Daae.
Day was breaking when he alighted at
LanniOn. He hurried 70 the diligence
for Perros-Guirec. He was the only
passenger. He questioned the driver
and learned that, on the evening OF
the previous day. a young lady who
looked like a Partisan had gone TO
Perros and put up at the inn known
as the Setting Sun.
The nearer he drew to her. the
more fondly he remembered the story
OF the little Swedish singer. Most OF
the details are still unknown to the

"MademoiseIle, / shall never forget
you'll"
And he went away regretting his
words, for he knew that Christine
could not be the wife of the Vicomte
de Chagny.
As for Christine, she tried not 70
think of him and devoted herself
wholly to her art. She made won,
derful progress and those who heard
her prophesied that she would be the
greatest singer in the world. Mean
while the father died; and, suddenly
she seemed TO have lost, with him
her voice, her soul and her genius
She retained just, but only just
enough of this to enter the conserva
toire, where she did not distinguish
herself at all, attending the classes
without enthusiasm and taking prize
only TO please old Mamma Valerius
with whom she continued TO live.
The first time that Raoul saw Chris
tine at the opera, he was charmed By
the girls beauty and by the sweet
images Of the past which it evoked
but was rather surprised at the mega
tive side OF her art. He returned to
listen to her. He followed her in the
wings. He waited for her behind q
Jacobs ladder. He tried TO attract
her attention. More than once, ne

box, but she did not see him. She
seemed, for that matter, to see no

And the young girl. becoming
strangely calm, released Raoufs arm.
He said to you, Christine, you
must love mel"
At these words, a deathly pallor
spread over Christine's face, dark
rings formed round her eyes, she
staggered and seemed on the point OF
swocning. Raoul darted forward.

had overcome her passing faintness
and said, in a low voice:
GO oni Go on Tell me all you

At an utter loss to understand,
Raoul answered: 81 heard him reply,
when you said you had given him your
soul, Your soul is a beautiful thing,
child, and l thank you. No emperor

Christine carried her hand to her
heart, prey to indescribable emotion.
Her eyes stared before her like a
madwoman's. Raoul was terror-strick-
en-. But suddenly Christine's eyes
moistened and two great tears
trickled, like two pearls, down her
ivory cheeks.
"Christine!"
"Raoul."
The young man tried to take her in
his arms, but she escaped and fed in
| great disorder.

her room, Raoul was at his wits end

he had hoped to find so sweet, slip

Then, as she seemed to have nothing
more to do at Perros and, in fact
was doing nothing there, why did she
not go back to Paris at once?
Raoul walked away, dejectedly, t.

LETTERS EXPLAIN JAP SCARE
SENATE NOW HAS CORRESPOND.
ENcE CALLED FOR.
Magdalena Bay Land Deal Partici
pated in by Member of Japanese
Parliament.

Washington, d. C.-In response to
the resolution introduced by Senator
Hitchcock, the department of state
has submitted to the senate what it
insists is the entire correspondence
relating to the Japanese and Magda-
lena bay land deal.
This is the correspondence that the
department failed to submit when de-
mand was made by Senator Lodge.
The correspondence is between
Frederick H. Allen, an attorney repre-
senting the Blackman syndicate,
which controls 100000 acres at Mag
dalena bay, and Secretary Knox and
Acting Secretary Wilson.
In not one of the letters does the
state department inform Allen that it
will not permit his company to sell the
land to a syndicate of Japanese. 1t
does inform him that such a sale
would cause great cutlery" Such a
result, the department informs him,
would be obviously cause for regret
by the government of the United
States"
Many references are made to con-
versations between representatives of
the syndicate and officers of the de-
partment of state, but no explanation
is given as to what occurred during
these conversations.
The correspondence, however, is a
belated admission that active negotia-
tons were in progress between the
Blackman company and Japanese
syndicate, and that a member of the
Japanese parliament was an active
party to them.

in the house by Representative Martin
of Colorado. The resolution calls up
on the president for a full list Of
judges, both those appointed and serv.
ing. and those taken under consldera-
ton. If adopted. the resolution prob
ably would go deeply into President
Taft's FIVE appointments to the su,
preme court.

Martin said, "that the federal court
decisions to a remarkable extent favor
big business"
