SYNOPSIS.

Leslie Morne, a governess, goes to
walk by the sea and is spoken to by a
man she does not know. She is res.
cued from his attentions by Victor
Steele, sergeant in the British army.
whom she later marries. She finds
married life wearisome and refuses to
follow Steele to Egypt. Then she hears
Of his death and conceals the fact that
she Is his widow. Four years later,
married to Oswald Varney and mother
Of boy, she meets Steele face to face
In Jerusalem. He tells her to keep the
past secret, and her husband announc.
es that Steele is going to sail with
them. She later meets Steele on lin
er and also becomes acquainted with
Mrs. Melas, and learns what jealousy
means.
The office which was thus selected
at random she saw. from the name
painted in white letters on black
board to be that Of Messrs. Pounce and
Lisgers. Entering the clerks office
she asked to see one of the partners.
What name, madam" queries the
youth, cycling her with mingled awe
and suspicion.
Name? Oh-er-er-er! Mrs.
Smith-Mrs. Oswald Smith. simply
wanted advice on a matter Of law"
The youth returned and ushered her
into the presence of Mr.. LiggerS. She
took no note whatever of his personal
appearance, but began at once in a
steady voice. Il want to consult you
about a point of some Importance to a
member of my family She was mar
ried at the age of eighteen without her
guardians consent-by license.
I'm the license and the certificate
of marriage her age was falsely given
as twenty-one in order to get over the
absence of the guardians consent.
Please tell me positively-does not
that false statement void the mar
riage?"
She looked the lawyer full in the
face.
He laughed. Most certainly not.
The marriage, if that is all that is
wrong about it, is absolutely valid
Victor Steele journeyed slowly north
ward in the wake of his late fellow
passengers. He stopped at Avignon
and spent a pensive hour on the his.
toric bridge gazing at the distant &C.
venues; he tried to enjoy himself at
busy Lyons; and rambled through the
glorious forest of Fontainebleau with
the delight born of long exile in a
treeless land. AS to many widely
travelled British soldiers, Europe was
a strange land to him. Gothic cathe-
drals and feudal castles were less fam
iliar than mosques and hill forts.
He spent three days in Paris, and
liked it SO we'll that he thought it
might be a good place to settle in
when he retired from the service. He
tried to forecast his state of mind
twenty or twenty-five years hence. 49,
He met Varney in evening dress
carrying cane after the French fash.
ion. and chewing the end Of cigar
rather than smoking It,
A shadow of displeasure crossed
victor's face. He glanced quickly
round, expecting to see Leslie. But
Varney's words soon treasured him.
Have you seen anything of Mrs
Melas since you have been here?" he
asked abruptly.
mo, l haven't" replied Varney EN-.

than his tone. He turned his face to-
ward the shadow and crossed his knee
as II considering the problem.
Varney leaned across the little table
toward him. Then what can be
wrong?" he demanded eagerly. II
agree with you it doesn't sound like
jeasousy.''
- He paid the waiter and the two men
passed out into the deep shadows of
the Champs-Eleyses. For a few min
utes they smoked In silence. Varney
was the first to speak

companion, looking at him anxiously.

Victor laughed. my dear chap, it

The two men sat down at one Of the
little tables of the al fresco cafe in
the Jardin.
Oswald Has q Fit
Of Real Depression.
The young man glanced at his com
panion. 1t was strange to see the usu.
ally cheerful Oswald so gloomy and
dispirited. He wished he could think
of something to say, but no words
came that seemed to fit the case.
Il told you she wouldn't stay in
Paris" resumed Varpey, digging vic
iously into the grass with his cane.
Il didn't think anything of 1t then.
But now she writes, in the height of
the season, mark you, that the boy
hasn't been well, and she has taken
him away to Scotland, Scotland, my
boy, just think of tin May! Why, I
never knew they opened it before the
twelfth of August
Victor laughed. THAT doesn't sound
SO very serious" he said.
Look here. Steele" said Varney
sitting up suddenly. you and l have

don't know any man I'd sooner trust.
l want you to read this letter and tell
me quite straight just what you think
of it,
He took folded letter from his
po<ketbook and handed it to his COM
panion.
Victor took it with a tremor at the
sight of the once familiar writing, and
read:

ed to find me here. ! hope you will

Victor handed the letter back to his
friend "You know your wife better

no hint of jealousy in his letter-ii
that is any relief to your feelings

SEWARD SEEKS
 PUBLIC BUILDING

SEWARD. Oct. 6.-Plans adopted by the Commercial Club at its meet Ing last night which will bring be- fore Congress the need of Federal building for Seward.
 The subject will be taken up by Delegate Wickersham and he will be asked to have bill for an approp- riaUon presented before Congress at tho next session.
 There has been some talk that the Alaska Engineering Commission might build @ permanent office building here which might be used also for the oth- or federal offices, including the post office. the court house, should the headquarters of the district court be transferred here or a new district be made, which has already been dis cussed
 Chairman Edes, however, made it known that moneys appropriated for the railroad could not be used for this purpose and a direct appropriation will be asked for
 The best that Seward can expect win be a building within two or three years after such an appropriation is passed. is the statement of those in- terested in the project. The money for Cordova's building was appropriate cd four years ago and yet the work of construction has not been com menced.-(seward Post)
