Monsieur Chatelard Takes the Wheel.
Sallie K~ingsbury would have given
up the ghost without more ado, had
she known what secular and unminis-
terial passions were co~nverging about
'Parson Thayer's peaceful library. AS
it was, she had a distinct feeling that
life wasn't as simple as it 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 a 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

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 Sallie's affec-
Tomato interest for seventeen years,
and it wasn't her nature to give I'D
that interest, now that the chief actor
had stepped from the stage. So she

CHAPTER xIx.-continued

1t was not difficult to get on his
track, even though the village people
were constituttonally reluctant to let
any unnecessary information get away
from them. A mile or sc farther up
the shore, beyond the road that ran
like a scar across the hill to the gran
tte quarry, Chamberlain came upon
a saloon masquerading as a grocery
store. A lodging house, a seaman,s
bethel and the reading room were
grouped lear by; the telegraph office,
too, mad been placed at this end Of the
town; obviously for the convenience
fof 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 a
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 IL
brarfan, was a tall, ineffective indi-
vidual, with eyes set wide apart. His
slow speech was a mixture of DR..
johnson and a fudge in chancery. 1t
was grandiloquent, and 1t often took
long to reach the point. He informed
Chamberlain, with some clrcumlocu-
ton, that the Frenchman had been
extremely anxious over the telegram.
Il 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."
Il dare say"
But 1t would appear that he has re-
ceived his telegram by this time" con-
tinued the youth, for 1t is now but a
short time since he was summoned to
the station"
Chamberlain, thinking that the o
'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.
III 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, a 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
2ain could not answer.
hut the Englishman acted on a DIFF
ferent principle. He thanked the
Judge in chancery and made after the
Frenchman, who was casting a furtive
eye in this and that direction, as II

Chamberlain paused and finished his
second pear. The man on the stone
was furtive and uneasy, but masked
his disquiet with the insoIeut ~sneering
manner that had often served him
wen. Chamberlain, having once adopt
cd the role OF a garrulous travelling
salesman. followed It. up with zest.
"ot course, a mar can get a good
meal. for that matter, at the red
house. a little way up yonder over
the hill. But 1t wouldn't suit a man
like you-a slow, poky place. with no
style"
The man on the stone slowly turn
ed toward Chamberlain, and at last
found voice for more than monosy-ls-
bic utterances.
Il was looking for a hotel" he said,
in correct English but with a foreign
accent, land l shall be glad to take
your advice. The Hillside, you say, is
in this direction?" and he pointed
along the lower road.
YES" heartily assented Chamber
lain, about two miles through those
woods, and you won't make any mis-
take going there; it's a very good
place."
The man got up from the stone.
And the other inn you spoke Of
where is that?"
THE Red House2 That's quite a
long piece up over the hill-this way.
Straight road; house stands a a
church; kept by a country woman
named Sallie. But the Hillside's the
place for you; good style, everything
neat and handsome. And fine ~people!"
Very well, thanks" cut in the 9TH
er, in his sharp, rasping tones. i
shall go to the Hillside"
He slid one hand Into a pocket, as
If to assure himself that he had not
been robbed by Straightforward dur
ing the interview, and then started on
the road leading to the Hillside.
Chamberlain said Good day, sir"
without expecting or getting an an
swer, and turned the hill toward the
village.
AS soc 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 u%nderbrush
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
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 well on his way he stepped
into the road and solemnly danced
three steps of a hornpipe, and the next
instant started OF q III 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.

Heasonlte.

Hessonite might be a new disease
or a new fad, but it's simply a new
shade and it's named for the Grand
Duke of Hesse. The shade, which is
neither distinctly rose nor amethyst,
but a blending of the two, is found
chiefly in the semi-precious stones of
translucent composition and brilliant
luster such as n used for necklaces,
chains and lorgnette holders, as wen
as for hatpin tops and toilet pins OF
a minor character. H~essonite, con
sidered as a color, somewhat partakes
of the futurists' idea of shade blend
ing, for the rose and the amethyst
tones SO melt into each other that it
is impossible to say which one has the
stronger characteristic.

While Bolivia has copper. and gold

her greatest wealth is in tin. There
is as much romance in tin mining In
Bolivia as In diamond mining in
South Africa and gold mining in our
own country. Fortunes just as large
have been made. One man who a few
years ago was a prospector now has
an income from his tin mines equal
to that Of the bonanza kings OF Cali,
fornia OF the South African mining
magnates. He has recently offered
to build a railway line which the
government itself did not feel able to
undertake.
In all the world last year there
