Parson Thayer's peaceful library AS

life wasn't as simple as it had been

Hercules Thayer's business, iuclud-
ing his ministerial duties, had formed
the basis and staple Of Sallie's affec-

and it wasn't her nature to give up
that interest, now that the chief actor
had stepped from the stage. So size

The man on the stone slowly turn
ed toward Chamberlain, and at last
found voice for more than monosy-la-
bic utterances.
Il was looking for a hotel" he said,
in correct English but with foreign
accent, "and I 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 House? That's quite a
long piece up over the hill-this way.
Straight road; house stands near 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!"'

He slid one hand into a pocket, as
If to assure himself that he had not
been robbed by Straightforward dur

the road leading to the Hillside.
Chamberlain said Good day, sir, j"
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
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 az 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 discreet lgok in the direction of
the village asAle came along. Seeing
that the coast was clear. he turned
and went rapif fly up the road that
led over the hill, to the old red house.
When Chamb erlain saw that the
man was well osa his way he stepped
into the road and solemnly danced
three steps of a Ihornpipe, and the next
instant started on a ruin 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 lion.

Again the sheriff advanced toward
Chatelard, and again he was warned

The accusation came with such

speaker, that for an instant it confused

pause that followed, Chatelard turned

Agatha. "This lady" and every word

CHAPTER XII discontinued.

It 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. A mile or SO farther up
the shore, beyond the road that ran
like a scar across the hill to the gran,
lite quarry, Chamberlain came upon
a 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

long to reach the point. He informed
Chamberlain, with some circumlocu-
ton. that the Frenchman had been
extremely anxious over the telegram.

things" said he. And l regret to say
that the man allowed himself to be-

warm WEATHER brings
OUT TAR In PAVEMENTS
This is The Second Hot Sea.
SIN for Blocks

AS was predicted by the layers of
the wooden block pavement the tar
from them IS being brought out again
this season, though not as notfeeabiy
as last season.
1t is characteristic of wooden block
pavement that the first two years al
ter it has been laid considerable an
noyance is experienced as the result
OF the tar that comes from the pave
cent when the hot weather begins.
Last season the tar on the blocks was
especially noticeable.
This season the warm days lately
have served to make the tar rather
noticeable, though not EXCEPTIONALLY
so. 1t is the promise of the makers
OF the wooden block pavement that
after this season the tar on the streets
will not be noticeable.
