A Turn of the Wheel.

A Turn of the Wheel.
Gn which my adversary discovers that
he has trumped his ace.)
In spite of my assumed indifference,
! spent a miserable night within the
prison fortress. could not help real
izing that the case against Charles
looked black; ! had no strong faith
In French justice particularly in a
case of alleged espionage, which would
send up the nations anger to the boil
ing point. When the first streaks Of
daylight entered my room arose and
dressed with feverfsS anticipation of
the days developments. The "princi-
pal female witness" of whom the
banker Magniff had spoken was due to
arrive that morning. Whoever she
might be, / hoped that her evidence
would prove boomerang for the pros
ecution. Certainly the climax of the
affair must be at hand; this racking.
torturing suspense could not endure
much longer
My only ioy-but how great a one,
how strong comfort cannot put into
words-was the recollection that
Charles and had publicly pledged our
troth; nothing could take away the
memory of that or tear from either
the possession of the others heart, no
matter what the outcome.
The development was even speedier
than l had imagined. After / had
breakfasted upon light meal brought
in by the same kindly officer of the pre-
ceding day, visitors were announced.
The major, who had introduced them,
withdrew, muttering something about
privacy, and there entered-Magniff
himself, followed by woman whom,
though her face seemed familiar, did
not Immediately recall Indeed,
hardly looked at her, 30 astonished
was / at seeing the change which the
night had wrought upon the banker.
For all his self-confidence was gone;
his hair was ruff1ed, his garments un-
tidy, his face woebegone and haggard;
he looked as though he was upon the
verge of nervous breakdown.
DO you know this woman?" he
asked me, indicating his companion
without even the formality of greet
ing.
looked hard at the shabby, middle
aged figure in the threadbare gown
and suddenly my memory rushed back
to me.

The recognition was mutual. The
woman rushed forward, laboring under

an emotion more intense than the
bankers. She seized my hands in
hers and covered them with kisses.
This outburst astonished me no less
than her companion.
1T is Miss Ives!" she cried. 1.-THE
lady Of the ship! I learned your
name from the ship steward, lady, for

for my man had made me think he
loved you, and all the while he used
you as decoy to divert my suspicion,
while he made love to another"
She sprang back and, with arms up
raised, poured forth an Incompetent
sible outflow of maledictfons.
Now I will tell you ALL" she cried
to Magniff; and there was pathos
mingled with tragedy in this revival
of ancient fires in the middle-aged
Greek; ! could imagine how many sor
rows, how much jealousy she had suf-
fered since she gave herself into the
scoundrel's keeping. Her utterance
was intensely dramatic.

detained. When the letter-writer
wrote these for me. saying that
would prove the guilt of the Cheva-
lier, l did not know that Miss Ives

betrothed to him, are you not?" she
pleaded. Yes, so all are saying this
morning. Well, my man was to in
duce me to give false evidence against
him, and it was all arranged. But

himself has been deceived, and he
wants his revenge. When | left him

She was becoming incoherent in her
statements. I made her sit down and
gave her water. Presently she re-
sumed, more calmly:
"Constantinopoulo Zeuxis, my man,
he stole the key to the safe from the
purse of Miss Ives in London" she
continued. TT was arranged long be-
fore. He took the key to Paris, re-
moved the bonds, and substituted the

Dying Out
PolIcd Small Vote Throughout
The State, Tuesday
Osborne Scratched Off Ticket
Electing Ferris

Several important points developed
in the election of last Tuesday. One
OF them was the remarkable falling off
of the "Progressive" vote throughout
the State. Another was the fact that
twenty-five per cent of the republicans
voting scratched Osborne off their tick
ct and voted for Ferris. Perhaps the
biggest surprise in the County was the
large majority Representative H. |. Nc
MILAN pulled out with. The noise"
petered out to wee sma' voice, and
it showed conclusiYely that the voters
of CharIevoix County have utmost con'
fidence in Mac.
In our neighboring County Of Antrim
the entire Republican ticket was elect
ed by big majorities. A vigorous CAM
paign was waged by the ''Progres-
sives" of that county against the Re-
publican candidates and the big maiori-
ties the Republicans pulled is sur

Ordinary care and timely repairs
would have prevented most OF the fire
weste and loss of human life.
The danger season for this class of
fires Is now at nand, so do not delay

Consider carefully the following:
QUESTIONS.
Have you ldetal stove board under

Is the stoFepipe clean, sound and

Have you protected all woodwork

Is there double, ventilated thimble
around the pipe where it passes
through partition?
Is the chimney clean, IS it free from
cracks, and is the mortar between the
bricks still sound?
Does any woodwork come in contact
With the chimney?
Are any flua holes papered over,
covered with wood or stuffed up with

Does the wall paper come up against

number of unqualified teachers employ
ed bears to the whole number of teach
ers employed. The teachers must
hold certificate at the time of making
the contract. Obtaining one later does
not make the contract valid. College
diplomas and certificates granted in
other states do not qualify. They must
have certificates operating in Michigan,
School boards must know the authority
under which they act, hence the school
board should see the certificate at the
time of making the contract. Caution
on the part Of boards in this matter will
save much annoyance and financial loss

SIEGE BEGAN SECT. 2s

THE people generally are orderly,
however, and are keeping up a cheer

began September 2Stll With fierce
bonn mbardment of the town of Malines,
where the ancient church was severe
ly mased. Next day the town of
Lierre was bombarded and here. too,
the church was destroyed. In this
attack seven citizens were killed and
three wounded. The town was hast
liz evacuated by the people. but in
the evening the Belgian infantry ar
rived and at last accounts still held
the city.
THE next day the village of Duff
fel was bombarded. and here the tall
factory chimneys offered an excel

Antwerp, leaving behind several
dead and wounded. let'
Antwerp is defended by a circle
of fortifications, OF which thte most
