his newly won convictions shaken

two husbands, and was the Alfred

"Of Toritti," grumbled the man, evil

So they still believed Hazen dead!
No intimation of his return had as
yet reached Sitford. This was what
Ransom wanted to know. But there
was still much to learn. Should he
venture an additional question? No,
that would show more than stran-
gers interest in a topic so purely To-
cal. Better leave well enough alone
and quit the spot before he commit
ted himself. He nodded friendly
good-by and made for the entrance.

carved with her name. But only these
few words gave evid OF the young
mans death, and inscriptions of this
nature are sometimes false.
The conclusion was obvious. It
was the brother and not the sister
who had reappeared. Georgian was
not only playing him false but deceiv-
ing the general public. In fact, know
ingly or unknowingly, she was per-
petrating a great fraud. He was in
clined to think unklowingly. He be-
gan to regard with less incredulity
Hazen's declaration that the shock Of
her brothers return had unsettled her
mind.
Distressed, but no longer the prey
of distracting doubt, he again exam
ined the inscription before him and
this time noticed it's peculiarities. AL

Toritti. afterwards Georgian Hazen.
Afterwards! What was meant by that
afterwards? That the woman had
been married twice, and that this AL
fred francesca was the son Of her
first husband rather than Of the one
whose name he bore? It looked that
way. There was suggestion OF Ital-
ian parentage in the francesca which
coresponded well with the decidedly
Italian TOritti.
Perplexed and not altogether salts
fed with his discoveries, he turned to
leave the place when he found him
self in the presence of a man carrying
a kit of tools. Why he should come
into this place with tools was more
than Mr.. Ransom could understand.
"Hello, stranger" 1t was this man
who spoke. Interested in the Hazen
monument, Ell? Well, I'll soon give
you reason to be more interested yet.
Do you see this inscription-On June
7, 1885; Anitra, aged six, and the rest
of it? Well, l cut them letters there
fifteen years ago. Now I'm to cut 'em
out. The orders has just come. The
youngster didn't die it seems, and I'm
commanded to chip the fifteen-year-old
lie out. What do you think of that?
A sweet job for day like this.
Morn likely it'll put me under a
stone myself. But folks won't listen
to reason. It's been here fifteen years
and seventeen days and now it must
come out, rain or shine, before night
fall Before the sun SETS, SO the
telegram ran. I'll be blessed but I'll
ask a handsome penny for this job"
Mr.. Ransom, controlling himself
with difficulty, pointed to the little
mound. "But the child seems to have
been buried here" he said.
Lord bless you, yes, a child was
buried here, but we all knew years
ago that it mightn't be Hazen's. The
schoolhouse burned and a dozen chill
dren with it. One Of the little bodies
was given to Mr.. Hazen for burial. He
believed it was his Anitra, but good
while after, a bit of the dress she
wore that day was found hanging to a
bush where some gipsies had been.
There we're lots Of folks who remem-
bered that them gipsies had passed

- IT about three o'clock in the
IA afternoon Mr.. Ransom left
.Es9sES mis- room. He meant to
SSz$2ssS search the cemetery for the
graves of the Hazens and see what he
could learn from them.
He met three persons on his way,
all of whom turned to look at him.
This was in the village. On the hill
side he met nobody. Wind and rain
and mud were all; desolation in the
prospect and all but desolation in his
heart. At the brow he first caught
sight of the broken stone wall which
separated the old burying place from
the road. There lay his path. Hap
lily he could tread it unnoticed and
unmatched. There was no one within
sight, high or low.
He spent a half hour among the
tombs before he struck the name he
was looking for. Another ten minutes
before he found those of his Wife's
family. Then he had his reward. On
a low brown shaft he read the names
of father and mother, and beneath
them the following lines:
Sacred to the memory Of
ANITRA
Died June Z, 1885
Aged years and one day.
OF such is the Kingdom of heaven.
The twin! Georgian was mad. This
record showed that her little sister
lay here. Anitra,-yes, that was the
name of her other half. He remem-
bered it well. Georgian had mention
ed it to him more than once. And
this child, this Anitra, had been buried
here for fifteen years.
Deeply indignant at his wife's du-
p1icity, he took look at the opposite
side of the shaft where still another
surprise awaited him. Here was the
record Of the brother; the brother he
had so lately talked to and who had
seemingly proven his claim to the
name he now read:

Some one ought to take the newly
elected senator's and representatives OF
Congress in hand just before they arc
asked to write their autobiographies fol-
the Congressional Directory and kindly
inform them that facts, bare facts, will
look better in print than anything else
especially since everybody knows that
the little sketches were prepared by the
subjects themselves. Such kindly
service might save great deal OF NOR
tification to such men, perhaps, as Sena-
tor w. H. Thompson of Kansas, who
winds up his little obit. with this: at
is acknowledged by all who know him
that as senator he will not only bring
credit and honor to himself, but to the
state and nation as we'll" Now doesn't
that sound silly when one recalls that
the acknowledgements of the fitness of
the senator comes from the senator's
own pen? Few men in their sane minds
and knowing the conditions under which
the Congressional Directory is published
would embalm such statement in dried
ink. Why don't the older members tell
the newcomers in time? Or do they APP
preciate the joke too much to let the OPP
portunity pass?
