The man got up from the stone.
And the other inn you spoke Of

THE Red House? That's quite a
long piece up over the hill-this way.

He slid one hand into a pocket, as
been robbed by Straightforward dur

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 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
tree, he waited patiently some five
or ten minutes. At the end of that
time, Chamberlain 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 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 &C a good rafting pace around
by the long road toward Ilion.

CHAPTER Xxx.

Monsieur Chatelard Takes the Wheel.
Sallie Kingsbury would have given
up the gnost without more ado, had
she known what secular and unminis-
terial passions were converging about
Parson Thayer's peaceful library AS
it was, she had distinct feeling that
life wasn't as simple as it had been
heretofore, and that there were puz.
cling problems to solve. She was al
most certain that she had caught Mr..
Hand using an oath; though when she
charged him with it, 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 professor. What's that?" in
CURED Hand.
Its n 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 man from Charles
port and then had disappeared The
man had also unceremoniously left
her kitchen. He might be a minister
brought there to ofliciate 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 Thayers business, includ-
ing his ministerial duties, had formed
the basis and staple of Sallie's 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.
She picked radishes from the garden
for supper. threw white screening over
the imposing loaves of bread still cool
ing on the side table. and was sharp

Modern Aesop.

One day, in the presence of the Fox.
the Tortoise was Dragging to the Hare
Of his ability as q runner. The Fox
was very derisive of'the Tortoise's pre-
tensions, whereupon the Tortoise,
winking at the Hare. offered to bet
the Fox considerable sum OF money
that he could outrun the Hare. The
Fox lost no time in putting up the
money, and off the contestants started.
The Hare took big lead at once, but
after getting comfortably out of sight,
wandered away from the track and fell
asleep. The Tortoise accordingly was
the first to reaclf the winning post.
The Fox went off cursing at the loss
Of his money. and when he had gone
the Tortoise divided his winnings with
the Hare. Ever since that time bet
ting on races has been an uncertain
sport.-Life.

CHAPTER xIx.-contlnued.

It was not difficult to get on his
track, even though the village people
were constltutionally reluctant to let
any unnecessary information get away
from them. A mile or so farther up
the shore, beyond the road that ran
like a scar across the hill to the gran
tie quarry, Chamberlain came upon
a saloon masquerading as a 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 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 Ii.
brarian, was a tall, ineffective indi-
vidual, with eyes set wide apart. His
slow speech was a mixture of Dr.
johnson and judge in chancery. 1t
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.
81 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."
81 dare say"
But 1t would appear that he has re-
ceived 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 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 a furtive
eye in this and that direction, as IL
In doubt which way he ought to go.
Nevertheless, he seemed bent on go
