A friend of mine who is in Cairo

recent letter of an old Jew of that
city who scored off the young duke OF
Westminster and his inseparable COM
panion, Lord Ricksavage, when they
were there few weeks ago. They
were buying some jewelry in the ba'
Ear there. and the duke remarked aud
IDLY to his friend:
THE fool doesn't speak English OF

them, to which they replied In the

in recovering these; but, with time
limited, he had been sent back on a
wild goose chase, while Keith alone
knew. with any degree OF positiveness'
where those documents really were
Hawley certainly had them In his pos
session the day before, for ne mao
taken them TO Miss Maclaire to thus
convince her as to the truth OF bis
statements. And Hawley was still
in Sheridan. However, It was not
likely the man would risk carrying
documents Of such value, and docu'
ments connecting him SO closely with
that murder on the Santa Fe Trail
about upon his person. At best, life
was cheap in that community. and
Black Bart must possess enemies ID
plenty. Yet If not on his person

ignorant desperate. not to be trusted
to such degree-yet apparently ne

gambler In this deal, the only one
cognizant as to his plans. Christie
Keith came to stop in the street al
the recurrence of the woman's name
Why not? If she had been convinced
II she really believed that these pa
pers proved her right to both property
and parentage, then she would guard
them as tigress does her young. And
Hawley would know that, and mus
realize they would be far safer In hel
hands than in his pocket. She could
not use them without his aid ano
guidance, and yet, whatever happened
to him they would still be safely be
yond reach. True, this might not have
been done; the gambler might not YET
have felt that he had sufficient hold
upon the woman to trust her thus far
but 1t was, at least, possibility to be
considered, and acted upon.
Still wrestling with the intricate
problem, Keith entered the dining
room, and weaved his way, as usual
through the miscellaneous crowd, to
ward the more exclusive tables at the
rear. A woman sat alone at one o.
these, her back toward the door. Hi:

cided upon, and Mr.. Hawley's present

playing nervously with knife.

CHAPTER XVI.
A Chance Conversation.

The opportunity thus so unexpected
ly afforded was not one to be wasted,
and Keith accepted 1t with swift deter
mination. The expression In the wom-
ans face was scarcely one OF well
come, yet his purpose was sufficiently
serious to cause him to ignore this
with easy confidence In himself.
81 am, indeed. most fortunate to dis
cover you alone, Miss Maclaire," he
said, avoiding her eyes by a swift
glance over the table, land evidently
at time when you are only beginning
your meal. May l join you?"
She hesitated for an instant. debat-

Gliding on disagreeable tactics.

He smiled, holding his temper In
check. more than ever determined to
win.
Then, possibly, you may rather
welcome q new diversion. ! can as
sure you our criminals out here are
the most interesting portion OF our
population. wish | might have your
permission"
Standing there before her, bare,
headed, his slightly tanned face strong
and manly, his gray eyes filled with
humor, Miss Maclaire recognized
again that he was not Of the com.
mon herd, and the innate coquetry OF
her nature obtained mastery. What
harm could It do for her to chat with
him for half an hour? 1t was better
than eating a lonely meal, and, be-
sides. she might learn something oil
value to report to Hawley. Her own
ewes frightened, the slight frown dis
appearing
"You are certainly an illustration oil

OPENING OF THE ACADEMY
Largest Freshman Glass of Recent
YearS-NeW Teachers

st. Johnsbury Academy opened
last week with the largest enrolment
in years and the largest freshman
class, over 100. The Charlotte Fair
banks cottage is full and some girls
have been obliged to secure rooms
outside and go to the Cottage for
meals. South Hall is practically full
and there are more nonresident
students than usual. Exact figures
cannot be given now but the total
registration will be from rs to 100
over last year. All the new teach
ers are here and ready for work:
Daniel Dahl, the instructor in sci
lences is a Harvard graduate; How
ard r. Bennett, of the Commercial
department is Yale graduate; Miss
Ella Brownell is teacher of vocal
music, and A. l.. Cotton, a graduate
of Colby University and the Sloyd
Manual Training school, has charge
of the new department of industrial
training.
The registrations for this depart
ment while still incomplete show
that there will be more students
than can be accommodated. The de-
partment is located in the north
wing of South Hall in a room At
feet long and FL feet wide It is
well lighted with windows on two
sides. The benches and machinery
belonging to the department are now
being installed. Judging from the
Registrations the department seems
to be an answer to a genuine demand
of the school.
At the formal opening Of the
school last week Tuesday morning
every seat was taken. On the stage
were Prof Henry Fairbanks and
DR.. Edward t. Fairbanks of the
trustees and Rev. Paul Dwight
Moody and Rev. F. S. Tolman. Miss
Helen A. Boynton of the class of
1901 played a violin solo and Miss

PLEASANT RECEPTION
Citizens Gathered to Congratulate DR..
AIdrfch on His Election


A large number of St. Johnsbury
people regardless of party lines met
at the home of DR.. W. J. Aldrich last
Thursday evening to congratulate
him upon his success in the repre-
sentative contest on election day.
The grounds were brilliantly light
ed by electricity and the Consolidat-
ed Band rendered several selections
during the evening. Prominent in
the gathering were several Bull
Moosers wearing bandanas around
their necks.
From the veranda DR.. Aldrich
made q short speech thanking the
voters for the loyal support they had
given him and then invited them to
come into the house for a personal
greeting. In the receiving line were
DIR. and Mrs. Aldrich and Mr.. and
Mrs Fred G.. Bundy. Punch was
served in the dining room and cigars
passed as the guests left the house.
After the reception there was fur
Their speaking, Rev. Peter Black,
Rev. A. P. Grint and Harland B.
Howe making some pleasant and
witty remarks.
The band played the Bull Moose
March composed by Brookes G. Pet
ers and accepted by the progressive
national committee.
