A negro may pass through thai - t?wnship, but he neveriets the sungo dowi * on him in-that section. Even the whit 2 Republicans out there hate a negro.

Only a dislike to own mysolf boaten and the occasional fasclnailon which compensated for the raoro froluent discomfort kopt mo in the office. But all this was before tho day I was son! to interview the tvifo and daughter of the man who had just disturbed society by flisappearing from it. Mr. Grey, so 16 had been learned from (he notices concerning his disappearance, had one evening after dinner gono out for % stroll around the block. He had never some baok. His family was of course prostrated after the manner of families on mch sad occasions. After giving him time to come baok, sending to his clubs, bis office and the houses of his friends his wife had finally cold his lawyers, and systematic search was begun. The family bad rotired from publlo lffe and denied themselves to every one, consequently my chances for an Interview with Mr* Srey did not 6ee hopeful, but the city editor's air of granting me the opportunity L had been longing for made me loath to admit my fears. . j I took the train for the Greys' -~-thej lived a little way out of town?and prepared myself to meet the servants' soorn ind the other attendant evils of suoh an isslgnment. The coach was an ordinary jno, and there were several laboring men In It, evidently traveling to some suburb where thoy were to work upon the roads, for they carried pickaxes and shovels. There sat opposite rao and slightly forward a peculiar type of man to whom 1 found my gaze wandoring every few minutes. His iron gray hair was thick and rery unevenly out. His face was covered with a stubbly growth of gray beard. H6 IaaW..<) MMMBnnltnfl tinlrntMnf an/1 r?onoro 11 T7 LUUfeUU UUWOBUOU) uuaoiuyv auu gvuwuu; unpleasant. His blue overalls wore stalnxl with red day and hia red flannel shirt spoiled at tho front In a way that revealed anything but a beautlfnl neok, burned and blistered. But the man's twitching lips and convulsive movements of the jawi attracted my attention, and his deep toft, steely blue eyes that burned in cavernoos sockets fascinated me. He did not talk to the other mef), but eat with hia head sunk upon his breast, only occasionally raising . it to cast a look about him. He, with tht Dther laborers, left the train at Forestvllle, where the Greys lived, and I soon saw them, under the direction of a foreman, i assigned to make various road repairs. Of course Mrs. Grey would not see me. [ sat in the library while the servant took my card to her, for there were other callers Ln tho drawing 160m. Over the mantel [ hung a picture, presumably Mrs. Grey, ' done in oil She was as beautiful as a 1 cameo and as hard. Opposite hnr was the ' portrait of a clean shaven man, with fine Iron gray hair brushed off his forehead?a more plebeian oast of countenanoe, but strong and Interesting. The faoe seemed familiar. I stared at it until the servant 1 returned. "Mrs. Grey Is sorry, miss, but she can tee no one, and has nothing to say for publication." "Very well," said I. Then I rose to go. 1 "Is that Mr. Greyf" I asked, nodding toward the picture. , . "V01 mloH " wna mnlv. and sud lenly it flashed upon me where I had seen those deep set, curiously shaped, keen blue jyes. My heart leaped almost into my mouth. I took one long look at the par* trait and loft the house. The men were repairing the road, and 1 noticed one of the workmen whose face Btartled me. The resemblance to the portrait I had seen of Mr. Grey was remarkaalo. He worked with a fierce delight In the severe labor. His face seemed more mad than ever, with tbe exultation of motion and strength deepening the gleam In bis eyes. There was a telegraph office at the end )f tbo street. I sent a message to the city iditor. "Send a man to Forestville at i mce," was my command. Then while I paced the street and walked about the square I reflected upon tbe welcome I would receive if I had made a mistake. Evory mlnuto I became mo o and more )onvlnced that I had made tbe most coloslal blunder on record. By the time Mr. Ellington Ellsworth, the only man who happened to be available when my tela;rum was recei7ed. had arrived I wai nearly hysterical I told Mr. Ellsworth my theory, and he was properly skeptioal. 3e discouragod me thoroughly in about fwo minutes, but I suddenly rallied. "Well," I remarked, taking command, 'I want you to keep that man in sight 1 shall go to town and get his lawyer. Find )ut what train they go in on, and I'll moet you." Mr. Ellsworth didn't wish to aot upon ihat- suggestion, but he Anally consented 1 x> do so. I went in, summoned Mr. Srey's lawyer and with him met tbe fforkingmen's train. Mr. Ellsworth, lookna bored and unhappy, got out and point }d out our suspeoted "disappearance" to lis lawyer. My heart stood in my mouth. , iVaa I to be forever disgraced or made famous forever? < "Mr. Groy," said the lawyer, stepping 1 forward, "what does this mean?" And when I saw the man start wildly I ' enow that I was not forever dlsgraoed. * "Well," said the olty editor jovially, "what did they say?" "They didn't say anything. They didn't ' tee me." "So you didn't get the Interview?" Mid ihe city editor shortly. "No," I replied meekly, "but I found ihe missing man." And now, such is the irony of fate, the >lty editor, instead of letting me rest on ny laurels, 1b always exhorting me to live ip to the reputation I made in the Grey lase, when I found the missing man, earned how overwork had worn out his Drain and bow In hip half crazed oondi;lon be wandered away and returned to lis original occupation In life, to the bor or of his wife with the oameollka faoa.
