CHAPTER xlx.-contInued.


II was not difficult to get on his
track, even though the village people
we're constitutionally reluctant 70 let
any unnecessary information get away
from them. A mile or so farther up
the shore, beyond the road that ran
like scar. across the hill to the gran
tte quarry, Chamberlain came upon
q saloon masquerading as a grocery
store. A lodging house, 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

personality.
The Frenchman had been In the
sneighborhood two or three days, lat
rterly 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 tall, ineffective indi-
vidual. with eyes set wide apart. His
slow speech was mixture of DR..
johnson and judge in chancery. It
was grandiloquent, and 1t often took
dong TO reach the point. He informed
Chamberlain, with some circumlocu-
Gion, that the Frenchman had been
extremely anxious over the telegram.
y tried to persuade him that it was
useless to be impatient over such
things" said he. And l regret to saw
that the man allowed himself to be-
come profane."

But it would appear that he has re-
ceived his telegram by this time" con-
tinued the youth, for it is now but q
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 whom
the placid tones Of the librarian again
casually broke the silence.

Auntinn for happiness=Happil

Hunting for Happiness.-Happiness
is found in various places besides the
dictionary-and some Of them are
highly improbable locations. Often 1t
takes perverse delight in eluding cap
tue by those who are looking for it al
ways and everywhere; on the other
hand, it will frequently discover 1T
self to those who have done their duty
without giving 1t thought. You will
come upon it hiding sometimes In the
homes of those who have scarcely
anything else in the house-where
with a laugh it will leap out at you
and take you by surprise. You may
expect that it's presence will be reveal
ed in the homes of those who are pre-
sumed to have all that heart could
wish-and, instead, you will behold
only the evidences of querrlous dis
content.
Happiness is a commodity that, like
love, does not come forth for the In
tercession, and is not to be had for
any amount Of money. A child runs
across a field ablaze with sun and
brings his butterfly net down . with all
his might where the bright-winged In
sect paused a moment on a flower.
Then he raises the net to find-noth-
ing, for the brilliant visitor has fiut-
tered away upon his gorgeous pinions,
That is what happens to those who
pursue the butterflies Of selfish pleas
ure and Of fashion-the end Of the
quest is emptiness.-Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger.

Honors Easy.-People who were
present smiled at the little passage OF
arms which took place between two
young ladies at luncheon. One OF
them, a bride, shaking hands in her
characteristically cordial way, said to
the other:

afforded me so very much amusement
just lately"
Amusement? said the other.
"Oh, yes" went on the bride. I've
been through my husbands desk, and
I've read all his old love letters.
found several very affectionate letters
from you, and enjoyed reading them

Prayers for Horse-A young Gu
rate, but very shy and bashful, came
into a parish which was occupied by
Yorkshire yeomen who bred horses
and rode them and sometimes had
steeplechases. He did not get on, and
was very much depressed.
One day the clerk said to him: II
you please. sir, the prayers OF the
church are desired for Lucy Gray"
qvery WELL" said the curate, and at
every service in which the prayer Tor
all sorts and conditions Of men was
offered, the church was asked to pray
for Lucy Gray, till one morning the
clerk rushed into the vestry and said:
"You needn't pray for Lucy Gray
any more; she's won the steeple
chase"
stHave I been praying for horseT'
asked the curate. ST shall leave the
place"
But the clerk said: you'll do nowt
of the sort, sir; thought little of We
when We came, but now ye've got the
hearts of them all. and yet can do
what We like in the parish since ye
took to having prayed for that horse"

Waitress Had Not Aged.-He had
just reached the philosophical stage
when he slipped into a restaurant be-
tween bars for bit to eat. He or
dered. Then he sat staring ahead
quietly thoughtful in expression, and
waited.
It is admitted he did some waiting
too. What happened to his order
couldn't be understood outside the
peculiar convolutions of a restaurant
kitchen, but he spent half an hour sit
ting there staring ahead Of him.
At last it came. AS the waitress
put the order before him, he started
from his deep study, as If he had for
gotten he had an order coming. Then
looking up at the fair transporter Of
edibles, he said:
