JACOBS OIL THE OLD. MONK-CURE RELIEVES FROM PAIN Pries 23c ana SOc f MA PTE R VII. (Continued.) Kitty .MnrchniHt was u veritable fairy In hIzd, and her hnnd.i and feet were ex quisitely fonned. while her figure had all I he roundni of a girl of seventeen. An Innocent, child-like fao-. two limpid blue eycH, a straight liulc nose, and a ehann Ing roe-lipped mouth were Kitty's prin "ipal ntt factions, and her hnir was really wonderful, growing all over her head in crisp golden curls. Child-like enough her face looked in rt'poxc. hut with the smile cuine the woman such n smile; a blush ing, merry expression such as the (recks gave to Hebe. I tressed in a rough white dress trimmed with pale blue ribbons and her golden head surmounted by a sailor hat with n scarf of the same azure hue tied around it Kilty looked really charm ing. Kitty had csamined (fusion with a woman's (piieknrss of taking In details, and she mentally decided lie was the best looking man she find ever seen, only she wished he would talk. Shyness was not a part of her nature, so after waiting a reasonable time for Vnndeloup to com mence, she determined to start herself. "I'm waiting to he entertained." she ahl, iu a hurried voire, raising her eyes; then afraid of her own temerity, she look ed down again. Gaston smiled a little a Kitty's out spoken remark, but remembering Mad nine's injunction, he rather mischievously determined to carry out her desires to the letter. "It is a very nice day." he K'lid. grave ly. Kitty looked up and laughed merrily. "I don't think that's a very original re mark." she said coolly . producing an np ple from her pocket. "If that's all you've got to say, 1 hope .Madame won't he long." Vandelonp laughed again nt her petu lance, and eyed lu-r critically as she took n bite out of the red side of the apple with her white teeth. "You like apples V" Ik asked, very much amused by her candor. "Pretty well," returned Miss Mar churst. eying th fruit in a disparaging manner; "peaches are nicer; are Mad nine's peaches ripV" looking anxiously at him. "1 think they are," rejoined (Jaston, gravely. "I don't like your eyes," said Miss Kitty, suddenly. "What's the matter with themV" with a quizzical glance. "They look wicked." "Ah. then, they belie the soul within.' returned Vnudoloup. seriously. "I assure you. I'm a very good young man." .She was about to reply when Madame Midas entered, and Kitty flew to her with a cry of delight. "Why. Kitty." said Madame, highly pleased, "I am so glad to see you, my dear; but keep off, or I'll be spoiling your dress." "Yes. so you will." said Kitty, retreat ing to a safe distance; "what a long time you have been '' "Have I. dear?" said Madame: "I hope M. Vandelonp has proved a good .substi tute." "Madame." answered Vandelonp. gaily, "we have been talking about the crops nnd the weather.' "Oh,. indeed," replied Mrs. Villiers. who saw the Hush on Kitty's cheek, nnd by no means approved of It; "it must have been very entertaining." "Very!" assented Oaston, going back to his desk. "Come along, Kitty," said Madame, with a keen glance nt her clerk, "let us go to the house and see if we can find anj peaches.", t When Vandelonp came home to tea lie louiu' Kitty was as joyous and full of life i as ever. Madame Midas felt weary and j worn out by tin heat of the day, and was J sitting tranquilly by the window; but Kit ty, with bright eyes and restless feet, fol I lowed Sellna all over the house, under the pretense of helping her. an infliction which that sage spinster bore with patient resignation. After tea it was too hot to light the lamp, ami even Sellna let the firo go out, while all the windows and doors were open to let the cool night wind blow in. Vnndeloup sat on the verandah with Mc intosh, listening to Madame, ho was play ing Mendelssohn's "In a Gondola," that dreamy melody full of the swing and rhythmic moiement of the waves. Then to please old Archie she played "Auid Lang Syne" that tender, caressing air which is one of the most pathetic and heart-stirring melodies in the world. Ar chie leaned forward with bosved head as the sad melody floated on the air, and hl.n thoughts went back to the heather clad Seottisli hills. And what was this Madame was now playing, with Its pieie jug sorrow and sud refrain? Surely "Farewell t.i T.ochaber." that bitter la ment of the exile leaving bonny Scotland far behind. Vandelonp, who was not at tending to the music, but thinking of Kit ty, saw two big tears steal down Mcin tosh's Bevere face. "Sentiment from him?" he muttered in n cynical tone ; "why. I should have as noon exacted blood from a stone." Suddenly the sad air ceased, and after a few chord, Kitty commenced to sing to Madnmi' accompaniment.. Gaston nrose to his feet, and leaned up against the door, for she was singing Gounod's charm ing vnlse from "Mir! la," the bird-like melody of which suited her hiffh, clear oh to parfiN'Hnn Vandulnijo was rath er astonished at hearing this innocent lit tle maiden execute the difficult valo with such ease, and her shake was as rapid and true as if she hnd been trained in the best schools of Eiiroe. lie did not know that Kitty had naturally a very flexible voice, and that Madame had trained her for nearly a year. When the song wa ended (Jaston entered the room to express his thanks and astonishment. "You have a fortune in your throat, mademoiselle," he said, with a bow, "and 1 asiire you I hnve heard all the great singers of to-day from l'atti downward." "I have only been able to teach her very little," said Madame, looking affec tionately at Miss Marchurst, who now stood, blushing at Vundeloup's praises, "hut when we find the Devil's Lead I am going to send her homo to Italy to study singing." "For the stage?" asked Vandelonp. "That is as it may be," replied Mad ame, enigmatically. CHAPTER Vlll, Slivers and his friend Villiers were by no means pleased with the existing state of things. In sending Vnndeloup to the I'aetolus claim, they bad thought that Madame Midas would fall in love with the attractive Frenchman, anil seek for a divorce in order to marry him which divorce Villiers would of course re sist, unless she bribed him by giving him an interest in the I'aetolus. hut they hnd both reckoned wrongly, for Madame was not in love with Vnndeloup. nnd acted with much circumspection. Consequently Silvers nnd Co.. not finding matter., going to their satisfaction, met one day at the office of tho senior partner for the purpose of discussing tho affair and seeing what could be done toward bringing Madame Midas to their way of thinking. "Then, suppose you go out to the I'ae tolus and see your wife," suggested Sliv ers. "Xo go," returned Villiers, gloomily, "she'd break my head." "Ilah! you ain't afraid of a woman, a iv you?" snarled Slivers, viciously. "Xo, but I am of Mcintosh and the rest of them," retorted Villiers. "What can one man do against twenty of these demons? Why, they'd kill m. if I went out there; and Hint wife of mine wouldn't raise her little linger to saw inc." "It's no good beating about the hush." said the wooden-legged man. "You go out near the claim, and see if you can catch her; then give it to her hot." Villiers thought a moment, then turned to go. "L'll try." lie sjiri, as h" went out of the door, "but it's no go. 1 tell you. she's stone," and with a dismal nod he slouched away. "Stone, is she?" cried the old man, pounding furiously on the floor with his wooden leg, "then I'd smash her: I'd crush her; I'd grind her into little bits," and. overcome by his rage, Slivers shook Hilly ofT his shoulder. Mr. Villiers went to the railway sta tion iiiid took the train to the I'aetolus claim. Knluckily for Madame Midas, she had that day been to Hallarat, and was just returning. She had gone by train, and was now leaving the station and walk, ing home to tho I'aetolus along the road. Heing absorbed iu thought, she did not notice the dusty figure in front of her. oth erwise she would have been sure to have recognized her husband, and would have given him a wide berth by crossing tho fields instead of going by the road. Mr. Villiers, therefore, tramped steadily on to ward the I'aetolus, and his wife tramped steadily after him, until at last, at the turn of the road where it entered her projierly, she overtook him. A shudder of disgust pushed through her frame as she raised her eyes and saw him, and she made a sudden gesture as though to fall behind and thus avoid him. It was, however, too late, for Mr. Vil liers, hearing footsteps, turned suddenly and saw the woman he had come to see standing in tho middle of the road. Husband and wife stood glaring at each other for a few moments in silence, she looking nt him with nn expression of in tense loathing on her line face, and he vainly trying to assume a dignified car riage. At last, his wife, drawing her (bess to gether as though his touch would have conir.mJrutod her, tried to pass, but mi seeing this he sprang forward, before she could change her position, and caught her wrist. "Xot yet !" he hissed through his clench ed teeth: "first you must have a word with me." "What do you want?" she asked in a low, clear voice. "Money!" growled .Villiers. insolently Ulanting himself directly in front of her, "and I'm going to have ft." "Money!" she echoed, in n tone of bit ter irony; "have you not had enough yet? Have you not squandered every penny 1 Jind from my father? What more do you wnnt?" "A share in your I'aetolus," he said, sullenly. Ills wife laughed scornfully. Villiers writhed like a snake under her bitter scorn. "I understand," he nahl, in n taunting tone; "you want it for the mnn you' are going to marry." "What do you menn?" "WW l nay," ho retorted boldly; "all Hnllnrat known you nre in lovo with that young Frenchman." Mr. Villiers 'felt herself grow faint this man, who had embittered her life from the time she married him, was still her evil genius. A mnn she had seen on the road was now nearly up to them, nud with a revulsion of feeling she now that it was Vandelonp. Recovering herself with nn effort, she turned steadily. "You lied when you spoke just now." she said in a quiet voice. "I will not lower myself to reply to your accusation ; but if von dare to cross my path again I will ki'll you." She looked so terrible when she said this that Villiers involuntarily drew back, but recovering himself in a moment, he sprang forward nnd caught her arm. "I'll make you pay for this," and he twisted her arm till she thought it was broken. "You'll kill me. will you? you! you !" he shrieked, still twisting her arm and causing her intense pain, "you viper !" Suddenly, when Madame was almost fainting with pain, she heard a shout, and knew that Vnndeloup had eonie. to the rescue. He had recognized Madame Midas; down Hie road, and saw that her com panion was threatening her: so he mado all -possible speed, and arrived just in time. Madame turned round to f-ec Vande lonp throw her husband into a ditch by the side of the road, and walk toward her. He was not at nil excited, but seem ed as ecol and calm ns if he had just been shaking hands with Mr. Villiers instead of treating him violently. "You had better go home, Madame," he said, in his usual cool voice, "and leave me to deal with this gentleman ; you are not hurt?" "Only my arm." replied Mrs. Villiers, iu a faint voice; "lie nearly broke it. Hut I can walk home alone." "If you can, do so," said Vandelonp, with a doubtful look at her. "I will sond him away." "Don't let him hurt you." "I don't think there Is much danger," replied the young man. with a glance, at his arms. "1 nm stronger than I look." "Thank you. Monsieur." said Madame Midas, giving him her hand; "yon have rendered mo a great service, and one I will not forget.' He bent down and kissed her hand, which action was seen by Mr. Villiers hh he crawled out of the ditch. When Mad ame Midas was gone and Vandelonp could see her walking homeward, he turned to look for Mr. Villiers, nnd found him seated on the edge of the ditch, nil cov ered with mud and streaming with water presenting a most pitiable appearance. "You can tell my wife I'll pay her for this." "Accounts nre paid on Saturdays." call ed out M. Vandeloup. gaily; "if you will 1 will give you a receipt of the same kind as you had to-day." Villiers made no response, as he was nlrendy out of hearing, and went on his way to the station with mud on his clothes and rage in his heart. Vandelonp looked after him for a few minutes with a queer smile on his Hps, then turned on his heel and walked home, humming a song. CHAI'TKR IX. It .was now nearly six months sinco Vandelonp had become clerk of the i'ae tolus. and he wsis getting tired of it, only watching his opportunity to make a little money nnd go to Melbourne, where he had not much doubt as to his success. With a certain sum of money to work on. M. Van delonp thought that with his talents and experience of human nature he would soon bo able to make a fortune, particularly as he was quite unfettered by any scru ples. With such an adaptable nature ha could hardly help doing well, but in or der lo give him the start he required a little capital, so stayed on i,t the Hactolus and saved every penny be earned. An other thing that kept him there was his love for Kitty, and Vnndeloup could not tear himself away from the place whern she resided. He had called on Ki.ty's fa tiler, the Rev. Mark Marchurst, who lived at tha top of Hlack 1 1 ill. near Hallarat. and did not like him. Mr. Marchurst. a grave, quiet man, who was the pi.s-.r of a par ticular seer, calling themselves very moo estly "Tho lOiect." was hardly the kind of individual to attract a brilliant young follow- like Vandelonp. Kitty had fallen deeply in love with Vandeloiip. so as he told her lie loved her in return, she thought that some day they would get married. "I don't want a wife to drag nic back." he said to himself one day when Kitty had hinted at matrimony ;' "when I am wealthy it will lie time enough to think of marriage, hut it will be long before I am rich, nud can I wait for Hebe all that time?" Meanwhile, the Devil's Load was still undiscovered, many people declaring it was a myth, nnd that a lead had never existed. Three people, however, had a firm belief in its existence, and were -er-taln it would ho found some day this trio being Mcintosh, Madame Midas and Slivers. Tho I'aetolus claim was a sort of Xa both's vineyard to Silvers, who. in t.om. pany with Hilly, used to sit hi his dingy little office nnd grind his t,.Ptli as ho thought of all the wealth Iving beneath those green fields, lie had once oven gone so far as to offer to buy a share iu the claim from Madame Midas, hut had been promptly refused by Unit lad v. Still the Devil's I.iU was not fout.n, and ieople were beginning to disbelieve !n Its existence, when suddenly indications apiwared which showed that It was near at hand. Nugget h, some large, some small Ivegan to be constantly dU-ovorod, ,uid' every day news was brought Into Ha!la rat about the turning up of a thirty ounce or a twenty-ounce nugget in tho IactohiB, when, to crown all, the llCws carno and ran like wildfire through tho city that a three hundred ounce n ,K had lxen unearthed.
