CHAPTER xlx.-continued.

Tt 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 q scar across the hill to the gran
tie quarry, Chamberlain came upon
saloon Incorporating as grocery
store A lodging house, a seaman
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
or the operators of the granite quarry
The settlement had the appearance of
easy going and pleahant 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 imprecsing ones
personality.
The Frenchman had been in the
neighb- rbood two or three days, lat
terly becoming very impatient for a
reply to his New York telegram. A
good deal of money had been applied
for, was the opinion Of the money

vidual, with eyes set wide apart. His
slow speech was a mixture of DR..

was grandiloquent, and it often took
long to reach the point. He informed
Chamberlain, with some circumlocu-
ton. that the Frenchman had been
extremely anxious over the telegram.
II tried to persuade him that it was
useless to be impatient over such
things" said he. And regret to say
that the man allowed himself to be-
come profane."

But it would appear that he has re-
ceiyed his telegram by this time con-
tinued the youth for it is now but a
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 | mistake not, the gentleman in
question is even now fastening to-
ward the village" He waved vague
hand toward the open door through
which. little distance away, a mans
dgure 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

Though the Idea of Regular Seven
Year Change Is Right, 1t Has
Its Limitations.

There are people who tell you that
everything in the body is changed
every seven years, and that there is
40 part of it which was there seven
years ago. This does not mean that
we slough the whole thing off at
once. as a snake does its skin or
deer its antlers, but simple that the
tnnumerable and tiny atoms which are
used up by the daily wear and tear
are replaced by fresh atoms supplied
by our food and drink, which keep the
body going, just as coal and water
Keep the steam-engine at work.
But these changes are so minute
and gradual that the form of the body
remains the same, although such
things as scars take a long time to
disappear, and sometimes they re-
main for life, although they always
lose a great deal of their prominence.

Scars that Stay on Body 8a

cut your finger lightly it will soon
heal up and the scar presently disap-
pear. just as the marks of a super
fetal burn will gradually go away;
but If the cut is deep the scar re-
mains. This is because it went down
to what is called the true skin. Any
cuts, stains, or burns on the outer
skin are gradually pushed up and
worn or washed off, Just as the hair
en- the back of your hand wears off
without your cutting it and grows
again; but anything that goes down
to the true skin, like tattoo marks,
always remains.

well. Chamberlain, having once adopt

the road leading to the Hillside.
Chamberlain sad Good day, sir,
without exposing or getting an an
swer, and tury:ed 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 sound
less "haw-haw."
For there was his recent companion
also returning to the cross roads, TAX
ing a discreet look in the direction of
the village as he came along. Seeing
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 we'll on his way he stepped
into the road and solemnly danced
three steps of a hornpipe, and the next
instant started on a 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 a good rafting pace around
by the long road toward Ilion.
