without expecting or getting an an
swer. and turned the hill toward the
village.
As soon as he had dropped from
sight. however, he walked casually
into the thick bushes that lined the
road, and from this ambush he took
a careful survey of the hill behind him.
Then he slowly and cautiously made
his way back through the underbrush
Until he was again in sight of the
cross roads. Here, concealed behind
a tree, he waited patiently some five
or ten minutes. At the end of that
time, Chamberlain's mild and kindly
face lighted up with unholy Joy. He
opened his mouth and emitted a sound

that the coast was clear. he turned
and went rapidly up the road that
led over the hill to the old red house.
When Chamberlain saw that the
man was well on his way he stepped
into the road and solemnly danced
three steps of hornpipe. and the next
instant started on run toward the
village. He got little Simon's horse
and buggy. drove into the upper street
and picked up the sheriff. and then
trotted at good rattling pace around
by the long road toward Ilion.

CHAPTER XXX.

Monsieur ChateIard Takes the Wheel.
Sallie Kingsbury would have given
up the ghost without more ado, had
she known what secular and unminis-
terial passions were converging about
Parson Thayer's peaceful library. AS
1t was, she had a distinct feeling that
life wasn't as simple as 1t had been
heretofore, and that there were puz-
zling problems to solve. She was al.
most certain that she had caught Mr..
Hand using an oath; though when she
charged him with 1t, he had said that
he had been talking Spanish to him
self-he always did when he was
alone. Sallie didn't exactly know the
answer to that. but told him that she
hoped he would remember that she
was a professor Whats that?" in
quired Hand.
Its Christian in good and regu-
lar standing. and it's what you ought
to be-" said Sallie.
And now that nice Mr.. Chamber
lain, whom she had fed In the early
morning, had dashed up to the kitch-
en- door behind Little Simon's best
horse, deposited a man from Charles
port and then had disappeared The
man had also unceremoniously left
her kitchen. He might be a minister
brought there to officiate at the church
on the following Sabbath, SallIe sur
missed; but on second thought she dis
missed the idea. He didn't look like
any minister she had ever seen. and
was very far indeed from the Parson
Thayer type.
Hercules Thayer's business, includ-
ing his ministerial duties. had formed
the basis and staple of Sallies affec-
tionate interest for seventeen years.
and 1t wasn't her nature to give up
that interest, now that the chief actor
had stepped from the stage. So she
speculated and wondered, while she
did more than her share OF the work.

CHAPTER xIx.-continued.

II was not difficult to get on his
track, even though the village people
were constitutionally reluctant to let
any unnecessary information get away
from them. mile or SO farther up
the shore, beyond the road that ran
like a scar across the hill to the gran
ite quarry, Chamberlain came upon
a saloon masquerading as grocery
store. A lodging house. a seaman's
bethel and the reading room were
grouped near by; the telegraph office,
too. had been placed at this end of the
town; obviously for the convenience
of the operators of the granite quarry.
The settlement had the appearance of
easy-going and pleasant industry Pc
culiar to places where handwork is
still the rule.
Chamberlain applied first at the gro.
Gerry store without getting satisfaction.
The foreign looking boy. who was the
only person visible, could give him no
information about anything. But at
the reading room the erstwhile yacht
owner was known. Borrowing money
is a sure method of impressing ones
personality.
The Frenchman had been in the
neighborhood two or three days, lat
terly becoming very impatient for
reply to his New York telegram. A
good deal of money had been applied
for, was the opinion of the money
lender This person. caretaker and II.
brarian, was a tall, ineffective indi-
vidual, with eyes set wide apart. His
slow speech was a mixture of DR..
johnson and a Judge in chancery. It
was grandiloquent. and 1t often took
long to reach the point. He informed
Chamberlain. with some circumlocu-
ton. that the Frenchman had been
extremely anxious over the telegram.
T tried to persuade him that 1t was
useless to be impatient over such
things" said he. And regret to say
that the man allowed himself to be-
come profane."
81 dare say"
But it would appear that he has re-
ceived his telegram by this time" con-
tinued the youth. for 1t is now but
short time since he was summoned to
the station"
Chamberlain, thinking that the soon
er he got to the telegraph station the
better, was about to depart, when
the placid tones of the librarian again
casually broke the silence.
''If l mistake not, the gentleman in
question is even now fastening to-
ward the village" He waved a vague
hand toward the open door through
which, little distance away, a mans
figure could be seen.
why don't you run after him and
get your money!" asked Chamberlain;
but he didn't know the youth.
What good would that do?" was the
surprising question, which Chamber
lain could not answer
But the Englishman acted on a diff
ferent principle. He thanked the
Judge in chancery and made after the
Frenchman, who was casting furtive
eye In this and that direction. as II
in doubt which way he ought to go.
Nevertheless, he seemed bent on 60
ing, and not too slowly. either.
The Englishman swung into the
road. but did not endeavor to overtake
the other. They were travelling to-

DIVIDEND OF TIE
 COPPERS LEAD

In the amount of dividends paid to date. and in the size of the disburse ments made by various companies, the copper mines of this continent are far in the lead of any of the other precious or allied metal companies, says the Daily Mining Record.
 This is strongly shown in the rec ord Of twenty-five companies com piled and published recently. These twenty-five companies have since their organization paid out total in profits that will soon reach s4l9,- 6O0, ,0O0 Within the first four months Of the present year, including two comparatiyelv small payments due early in May, they have paid out S9.2l7,57i
 At the rate of payment Indicated by these last-named figures. there can be no longer any wonder at the great total of the profits which have been distributed to date. With over S9.- eco .0OD going out to stockholders with in a period Of four months, the grand total for the year soon mounts into the eight and nine figure class.
 Individual companies among these twenty-hvs have made records that may well be described as sUrpendOus. The Anaconda and the Anaigamated. allied companies, have each paid out in nro6ts over S15. .000 000. or total from their properties at Butte or more than s150 .e0G.000 Even greater than these two records is that Of the Calumet & Hecla. which since it's or canization in 1871 has paid out prohts that go above s120,000,0Oo.
