V CHAPTER jcviil. IK
At Denstone Court, one charming
afternoon in the early part of April,
all the family were gathered togeth
er expecting the return of Janet. The
weather was to charming that the
Squire, who had been falling much
of late, had ventured' out for a wale,
and now, on hiq return, was sitting
by the open window, still wearing his
great coat, and enjoying the soft
balmy air of spring.
"I shall be glad to have Janet
back," he said. "I can't bear her
going away. In my yoiuig dan it
would bare been considered highly
indecorous for a girl to go away to
stay with the relations of the man
to whem she is not yet married."
"I think It has its advantages, '*
raid Mrs. Danstone, gsntly. "It Is
lood for the new relations to learn
t > love cach other. There they are."
"Yes, I hear the carriage," said
Tola, quietly. Tola bad been stand
ing by the window, looking out.
There was a new expression on Tola's
little face, so wistful, so full of trou
ble. that had anyone had tlmo to no
tice it, they must have been unhappy
about her. Three weeks had passed
and she had not had one word from
Arthur, not one single lino to tell
her what lie was doing, and when
ho was coming home.
To others the time might have
seemed short, and the silence trifling,
but to Tola it was terrible. She and
this brother were so used to lean
upon each other, so closely were their
lives Intertwined, that a silence such
as this gave her the keenest anxiety.
It had never happened thus before.
8he fancied ail sorts of catastrophes.
He must be 111, must have met with
some accident, and was possible
alone, ill and helpless, in a strange,
foreign country. In her distress she
even summoned up courage to write
to her uncle in Liverpool to ask If
they had heard. Her uncle wrote
back, laughing kindly at her terrors,
and telling her they should be set
at rest, for that he would write to his
old friend, Monsieur Rlgaud, at Mon
Itepos, enclosing a letter for the
truant. But now many days had
passed and there was no answer from
lion Iteposr It was very strango.
Tola's little lace grew white, and
her brown eyes full of pain; but to
the childron she was the same bright
teacher and companion, though hor
sparkling gaiety was gone, and little
Letty, moving restlessly on the sofa,
which was now her constant refuge,
said :
"Oh J dear, dear! What has come
over us all? Letty is growing old;
every ono is growing old."
The carriage Colonel Curtis' well
? appointed brougham, drove up to tho
door. Tho betrothed couple were
within St.
"For the last time, Janet, I leave
you at home/' he said. "This day
week this brougham will carry you
away my wife."
Janet blushed and looked beauti
ful. "See," she cried, looking out.
"There they all are at the door."
? "All of them?" exclaimed Colonel
Curtis, with a look of dire consterna
tion. "Then 1 will not coino in now.
I shall return to dlnuor, as your fa
ther kindly asked me, and by that
time the children will bo gone to
bed."
"It Is a pity you let the whole tribe
Come to the door, Tola," were almost
Janet'* first words to her sister,
?'when you know dear Frederick does
?o dlillke our huge family gather*
tnga."
"They all wanted to tee you ?o
much, Janet, darling," said Tola,
clinging to her sitter. "Oh I how
btautiful it la to have you back,"
Janet aubmltted to the passionate
hugging of her sister, then she gent
ly disengaged herself and rearranged
tho hair upon her forehead.
How shabby and poor, and ugly It
all looked after the rleh comforts of
Lady Marsden's wealthy home. Janet
bad at onoe adopted all the comforts
and all the luxuries she found there.
It seemed to her that she had at last
acquired her rights, that hitherto she
bad been defrauded of her due.
"I cannot think how wo have man
gled to exist like this," she said, as
ahe was completing her toilette for
dinner. Iler toilette consisted of one
of the trousseau gowns. "Thero was
nothing else that was possible to
wear," she said, when Toia comment
ed on this: "and to-night, when both
the Orlmwood party and Mr. Irvine
dine here, Frederick cani.ot bear me
to look dowdy; and, of course, It is
specially Important, as Mrs. Grimes
will be there, to make a good im
pression. Frederick says that Har
riet Marsden knows Mrs. Grimes.
Bhe was a Howard, and it was a
very bad match for her when she
married Captain Grimes. He qulto
approves of the possible connection."
"I am glad of that," said Tola, ab
sently. At another time she might
have been half-amused, half-angry,
at Colonel Curtis' august consent be
ing given to Reggie's hopes; but now
It seemed as if r'.jo did not care.
"My dear Tola!" cried her sister,
quickly. "You aro not going to dlna
In that old whlto muslin gown!"
"Ytr," eald Tola, rousing herself.
? is my best. Why, Janet, you
know we always thought this one did
look nice at least"
"Coo<l gracious! How It does open
one's eyes to see. a little of society!'*
exclaimed Janet. "Really I had no
idea we were as- bad as this! No
wonder Frederick was so horrified !"
"Well," said Tola, wearily, "he is
not going to marry the whole family,
so It won't matter."
"That Is what he says." said Janet,
naively. "At least put something In
your hair, a ribbon or something.
Have you none?"
"Janet, you know I haven't," said
Tola, feeling that this was really af
fectation. "What is the use of teas
ing me?" and she ran away.
She was tired and heated, for till
the last moment she had been help
ing the cook, and as sho passed a
mlrror-ehe glanced Into It rather tear
fully.^to see if she did look so very
dowdy. She -saw a sweet flushed
little face, with pretty curly hair, and
a soft faded India muslin gown, and
she made herself look charming with
two bunches of fresh primroses be
forb she went- downstairs; but she
felt humbled to the dU3t. She had
not spirit enough to rise under
Janet's words, and It seemed to her
that she had well been named by her
brothers Cenerentola.
The dinner went off very well. Col
onel Curtis was allowed the priv
ilege of taking In his bride, and de
voted himself exclusively to her.
The Grimwood people were old and
friendly neighbors. Tola sat among
them, and they left her in peace. To
them she was but a little Insignificant
girl, hardly out of the schoolroom
yet. Mrs. Crimes was resplendent in
a ruby satin gown; Reggie gave him
self up to waiting on her. In the
evening he hung over the piano,
where she sat for a long time, play
ing music of the frivolous order,
"Sparkling Dewdrops," "Birds at
Even," etc. Then when one of the
young ladies from Grimwood took
her place, he invited her to come to
hi:; mother's sitting-room to see the
only picture of any value the house
possessed, a family portrait by Sir
Joshua.
The music was 1c full force, every
ono v.ras busy, and Tola, finding her
self ai liberty, stole away into a quiet
corner of the room, and sat leaning
back, giving herself up to fatigue
and anxious though Is. Where was
Arthur? What could ho be doing?
She was sitting thus, rather behind
a screen, when a flguro Interposed
between her and the lamps, and Mr.
Irvlno joined her.
"Is anything the matter?" he said,
sitting down beside her and speaking
with great kindness. "I do not want
to bo officious, Miss Denstone, but I
cannot help seeing that something is
troubling you very much. My moth
er has seen it, too, from h'ir win
dow. She sees it as you pass."
"It is very kind of her," said Tola,
in a trembling voice. "And, after
all, If 1 tell you, you may laugh at
me as all the others do.
"I cannot help being uneasy about
Arthur. He has been away nearly a
month and I have not had ono lino
from him. It is very foolish, I havo
no doubt, but I cannot help it."
"Not one line from bin)," repeated
Mr, Irving. "la ho in the habit of
writing regularly?"
"I don't think he evor mlsseii writ
ing to me, at least every other day,
for year*," she answered. "There has
always been so much to do and settle
between us and it became a habit.
I ventured to writo to Uncle Alfred,
apd he laughed and wrote me a kind
littlo letter warning me that that sort
of thing could not go on, but the
same time he wrote to Ooucy, to his
old French friend whero Arthur went,
and Mlced him to forward the letter,
and no answer has come."
"That it very mysterious," said
Mr. Irvine. "Either the letters have
gone wrong in tho post, or your
bother must have left the place. Was
he likely to stay there?"
"He went there with, the fullest
intention of doing so," answered
Tola; but I cannot help thinking that
he iriust be ill, something must have
happened to him out there, and I
must confess that it makes me fool
ishly an clous, " and slio tried to smile
bravely.
"I see. Of course It docs; but
there may bo eome good reason of
wl ich wo know nothing and cannot
even conjecture. What address did
ho give for you to writo to him?"
"The Post Office at Goucy."
"Well," said Mr. Irvine, "if you
will nllow me, I will to-morrow tele
graph fb that Poste-Restante and ask
If the letters you have written have
been claimed. If I send a return
paid telegram wo shall hear all about
it."
"Oh! thank you more than I can
say," paid Tola, warmly. "How very
good you are."
"If I can be of any service to you,"
he said, earnestly, 'it is tho greatest
plcasuro of my life."
"It will be bucIi a relief to do or
try something," raid Tola. "I daro
Fay It is very silly to bo so anxious."
"I should not be so anxious," he
said. "Only it Is us well to find out."
Then he turned the subject, and
began to tell her that he was then
preparing to take Ua annual MMV. I
til thnt he proPMii this year to go
t? Bpaie, where ho. had never been.
"I would have stopped for jov
sister's marriage," he ssM. "but ss It
is to take place st Plumtree, and tho
Bishop is to ho thsro, I thought 1 1
shonld not ho srissed, sod It Is tho
only time I can get a?v, tor my sis
ter-in-law can come to stay wRh my
mother. There was another piece of
mvs I wanted to toll yon also, but-]
It only concerns myself. I have beeh
offered. another Hying.'*
Poor little .Tola's heart gars a
great throb which droTS the color
from her face. Ho was going away!
Ho saw the sudden change and
turned away his head.
"I will speak of it another time,"
he said quickly. "I ? -.1 don't think
I can now. I will come to-morrow
and tell you the result of my tele
gram." He was a little Incoherent.
Tola spoke again. "I see Mrs.
Grimes coming back again. I sup*
pose I ought to go and talk to her.
Do you like her?"
"Very much," he answered. "I
think I never sajr a woman who gave
me the idea of such perfect good tem
per."
"Yes," said Tols, thoughtfully. "I
think tbat Is true."
8he rose, and they joined the oth
ers, and before long the guests took
their leave. Colonel Curtis lingered
to the last, talking aside with his
betrothed.
Reggie was in a fume of Impatience 1
till be also was gone. Then, as the
door closed upon him, he put his
arm around hfs mother and said, I
"Well, Mamma, I have done the
deed!"
"Oh! Reggie! you don't mean it?"
And Janet and Tola came up
breathlessly.
"Yes, it Is all right, she has ac
cepted me; and I think on the wholo
I have done very well." I
"I should think you have," said
Mr. Denstone, plaintively. "Two
thousand a year and such a fine worn
an for a wife! Done well? 1 should I
think so, indeed." I
"I hope you will be happy, Reggie, I
darling," whispered Tola, caressingly. I
**I am sure she is kind and good."
"i think It Is an excellent thing,"
said Janet, in a tone so like Frederfck
Curtis' that Reggie could not help I
laughing.
"Yes, my dear," he said, looking
complacently at his handsome sister, I
"we may both be said to have done I
well for ourselves."
Tola stole away to bed. The way I
the two beauties of the family spoke I
jarred upon her, and she wanted Ar- I
thur sorely.
Janet cams to her room presently I
and sat down by her bed. "Tola, I
darling," she said, "I hope you won't I
mind my saying it; I know you never I
do mind when one says things; but I
do you know, dear Frederick thought I
It did not look quito well for you to I
be sitting talking all alone to Mr. I
Irvine for so long behind the screen." j
But Tola would not quite staud I
that. "Tell him to mind his own af- I
fairs," she said, gently.
"Tola, you don't mean It!" cried
Janet, terribly scandalized.
"I am asleep. Don't talk or you
will waken me," murmured Tola,
from under tho bed clothes, and
Janet, to her Indignant remon
strances, could get no further answer.
Tho next day, according to his
promise, Mr. Irvine sent a telegram
to Goucy, and in the course of some
hours received an answer: "The
English gentleman left Goucy three
weeks ago, and his letters are lying
hera unclaimed."
Mr. Irvine was now Beriously
alarmed. HO sent another telegram,
asking whether Monsieur Rigaud of
Mon Repoa wa3 at home or not, and
prepaid tho answer. TL?.i evening
tho answer came: "Monsieur Rigaud,
three weeks ago, was murdered and
robbed at Mon Repos. No one in
tho hous9 to answer letters."
The mystery seamed to increase.
Taking tho two telegrams in his
hand, Mr. Irvine went over to Den
stone Court and showed them to
Tola,

Nijht-Kider Tells Story.
Union City, Tcnn., Special. ? The
State practically completed its case
against the eight alleged night-riders
on trial for the murder of Captain
Ranken, when it drew from Frank
Fehringer, a member of the band who
turned State's evidence, a detailed
statement of the Ranken affair and
a score or mc.-o of other outrages. It
also cailed to the stand Mrs. Emma
Thunnan Johnson, one of tho two
women said to have beon whipped by
the band ami had her tell her story.
The startling testimony of Frank
Fehringer, who confessed, accusing
the men on trial of being actual par
ticipants in the murder of Captain
Ranken, given with an exactness of
detail, amazed the people who throng
ed the court room.
Outlook is Bright.
The Bnltiniore Sun makes the fol
lowing summary:
While business in the year ending
has been unsatisfactory in many
respects the closing months have
brought such a revival that the out
look is regarded as bright. Confidence
has returned in all directions, whole
sale movements are in greater vol
ume, factories are resuming and
railronds are putting their extru roll
ing stock in motion. One element
which suffered no depression was the
farming community, crops being
abundant and prices higher. The se
curity markets have recovered and
Baltimore financial institutions close
the year in good shape.
War Claim Allowed

Washington, Special. ? Among a
large number of war claims bills pass
ed by the House on the 18th was one
for the rflief of the Citizens' Bank
of Louisville for $215,320. That sum
was found duo by the Court of
Claims nnd tho bill hag passed the
Senate many times. The claim arose
over tho seizure of the funds of the
bank by Gen. Benj. Butler in 1902.

Shooting Feats That Never Happened.
A grotesque and foolish view of the
West leads many who are not ac
quainted with that part of the coun
try to perpetrate amusing bunders
regarding the possibilities of the typ
ical Western weapons, the rifle and
the six-shooter. To shoot an animal's
eye out at "a hundred paces" is a
common feat in Wild West literature.
Sometimes it is done with a six-shoot
er ? in type; not anywhere else. Of
course, no man can see the eye of an
animal that far. I have had a good
rifleman tell me he could cut off a
robin *8 head at a hundred steps. The
trulli is that he could not see the head
elcaily that far. You read that the
desperado Sladc could, with a six
shooter at "fifty or sixty steps," hit
a man in any button of his coat that
he chose; but you may be sure that
neither Slade not any one else could
do anything of the kind. Even trick
and fancy shooting at its best could
never cover feats ascribed as matters
of course to the averagt? frontiers
man by those devotees of frenzied
fiction who never say the frontier.

The First Sabbath School Bagan in
"Sooty Alley."
"Bobby Wild Goose and his ragged
regiment" was the name hooted
after Robert Haikes, the first modern
Sunday school advocate, and liis (
scholars. The thoroughfare was
"Sooty Alley," and t lie scholars
were the ragged boys who toiled in
the pin factories of Glouchester, '
England. Robert Raikes paid Mrs. J
Brandon, a poor woman, one shilling
each Sunday to teach the boys the
Bible. That was in 1780. Four
years later there were 250,000 boys
and girls attending Sunday school in
the kingdom. To-day the Sunday
school hour in city or village, the civ
ilized world over, resembles Lillipu
tian land on dress parade. Streets
leading to churches are bonny with
lads and lassies, not ragged, but
dressed in their best, going happily
to "hear the wondVous story."
Thousands now do the work Robert
Raikes started. One of the greatest
factors in developing the Sunday
school in America is the Sunday
School Union. Mr. E. P. Bancroft is
the present secretary. This organiza
tion has been laboring in the field for
ninety-one years. Last year it estab
lished 1.878 new Sunday schools in
destituc places and reorganized 72-1,
a total of 2,002 set in operation, with
102,034 members. Tlio society ein
plovcd 207 missionaries. It received
$215,013 and spent $200,017. Be.
sides the work of this organization,
each denomination has its own mis
sionaries in the field recruiting for
its Sunday schools. ? "How 100 Sun
