Vandeloup slept the sleep of the Just and next morning, after making his inquiries after the health of Madame Midas, he went Into Ballarat In search yt Pierre. On arriving at the Wattle Tree Hotel he was received by Miss Twexby In dignified silence, for that as tute damsel waa beginning to regard the fascinating Frenchman as a young man who talked a great deal and meant noth ing. lie waa audacious enough to win her heart and then break It, so Miss Twexby thought the wisest thing would be to keep him at a distance. Ho Vandelonp's bright amilea and merry Jokes failed to call forth any response from fair Martha, who eat silently In the bar, looking like a crabbed sphinx. "Is mv friend rierre In 7" asked van- dclonp, leaning across the counter, and looking lovingly at Miss Twexby. The lady Intimated coldly that he waa In, and had been for the last two weeks: also that she was sick of him, and she'd thank M. Vandeloup to clear him out all of which amused Vandeloup mightily, though be still continued to smile coolly en the sour-faced damsel before him. Gaston, however, failed to persuade Pierre to accompany him round to buy an outfit. For the dumb man lay on his bed, and obstinately refused to move out of the room. He, however, acquiesced sul lenly when his friend told him he was going to Melbourne, so Vandeloup .left the room, having flrat secured Pierre's knife, and locked the door after him. and then sallied forth to buy his shipwrecked friend a box and aome clothes. In the afternoon Vandeloup went to the lake and espied a little figure In whltfe, and aeelng that It was Kitty, he strolled up to her in a leisurely manner. She was looking at the ground when he came np, and was prodding hoi 04 In the spongy turf with her umbrella, but glanc- ed up carelessly aa he came near. Then he sprang up with a cry of, Joy, and throwing her arms around his neck, she kissed him twice. "I haven't seen you for ages," said Kitty, putting her arm In his as they sat down. "I Just came up here for a week, and did not think I d aee you." "The meeting was quite accidental, I know, replied Gaston, loaning back laz ily; "but none the less plessant on that account Wouldn't yon like to leave Papa and lead a Jollier life?" asked Van doloup. artfully, "in Melbourne for in eta nee." "I I don't know," she faltered, look ing down. "But I do, Bcbe," whispered Gaston, putting his arms round her waist; "you would like to come with ue. "Why? Are you golngr cried Kitty, In dismay. "I think I spoke about this before," he said. "I never aay anything I do not mean," answered Vandeloup, with the ready lie on his lips In a nvment; "and I have got letters from France with money, so I am going to leave the Pac olus." "And me?" said Kitty, tearfully. I "That depends upon yourself. Bebe." Be said rapidly, pressing her burning cheek agalnat his own ; "your father would nev er conaent to my marriage a ad I can t take you away from Ballarat without aus picious, ao " 'Yes?" aaid Kitty, eagerly, looklm at bim. 'You must run away," he whlapered, with a caressing smile. "Alone?" "For a time, yes," he answered ; "listen next week you must meet me here, and I will give you money to keep you in Melbourne for some time rthen you must leave Ballarat at ence a ad wait for me at the Battercup Hotel la Gertrude street, Carlton; you understand?" "Yea," faltered Kitty, nervously; "I I unerstand." "And you will come?" he asked anx iously, looking keenly at her, and press ing the little band he held In his own. "Yea," abe whispered, clinging to him with dry lips and a beating heart; "I will corns!" Then her overstrained na ture gave way, and with a burst of tears she threw herself on his breast. "My dear Bebe," aatd Vandeloup, kiss ing her white cheek, "you must go borne now, and get a little sleep; it will do you good. "But youT' asked Kitty, In a low voice, aa they walked slowly along. "Oh, I, aaid M. Vandeloup, airily; "I am going to the Wattle Tree Hotel to aoe my friend Pierre off to Mulbourne." "You are now on your own respeasl blljty, my rriend, said vandeloup to rierre, aa he stood at the window of the railway carrlnge; "far we must part theagh long together hare we been. Per haps I will see you in Melbourne; if I do you will find I have not forgotten the past," and, with a algniucnnt look "at the frmb man, Vandeloup lounged alowly away. The whistle blew shrilly, the last sood fcya were spoken, the guard shoutod "All tbeard for Meibeurae," and abut all the doors, then, with another shriek and puff of white steam, the train, like a long, lithe serpent, glided late the rain and darknesa jrirh ita huraaa freight. "At last I have rid aiywlf of this dead weight," said Vandeloup, as he dreve along the wet streets te Cralg'a Hotel, where be Intended to ernjr far tke night, and cas new shape my esva fortune Pierre la gone, Bebe wlH boob fellow, aad Bow I must leek alter myself." . Kitty left a note saying aha waa geiag down to Melbourne to appear on the stage. Meanwhile, the aiaa whe waa the primary cause of all this trouble was working in the eiioe of the Pactelus claim with a light hesrt and ceel bead. Gasten had really managed te get Kitty away In a very clever wanner, iaaaauch aa he never appeared publioly to be concerned In It, but directed the whole business we- cretly. ne bsd given Kitty sufficient rofney to keep her away far some months la Meibeurae, as he was la dettet wkea he ceuld leave- the Pactelss without beiag suspected of being concerned In her dls appearance. He also told her what day to leave, and all that day stayed at the same working at bis accounts, aad after ward spent the evening very pleasantly With Madame Midas. Next dsy Mclntoob went Into Ballarat en business, and ea re turning, from the city, wtere he bad beard all about it, be aaw Yanrieleua come out of the office, and drew ap in tke trap beside the young man. "Aha, Monsieur," said Vandeloup, gaily, snooting a keen glance at Archie; "yes v aad a pleaaant day." IJatnt "Mnybo yes, maybe no," returned Mc intosh, cautiously, fumbling In the bag; there a nothing much in the town, but I've gotten a letter or ao from France." Tor me?" cried Vandeloup eagerly, holding out his hands. 1 An for who else would It be?" grum bled Archie, giving the letter to him a thin, foreign looking envelope with the Parisian postmark on It; "did ye think it was for that blackavised friend o' yours?" Hardly!" returned Vandeloup, glanc ing at the letter with satisfaction, and putting it In his porket. "Pierre couldn't write himself, end I doubt very much If he had any friends who could not that I knew his friends," he said, hastily catch ing sight of Mcintosh a severe fsce bent Inquiringly on him. Madame Midas was very much grieved nt the news of Kitty's escapade, particu larly aa she could not see what motive she had for running away, and, moreover trembled to think of the temptations the Innocent girl would be exposed to In the metropolis. After tea, she spoke to Van deloup on the subject. The young French man Waa sented at the piano In the dark ness, atriklng a few random chords, while Madame waa by the fire In tho armchair. It waa quite dark, with only the rosy glow of the fire shining through the room. Mrs. Villiera felt nneasy; waa It likely that Vandeloup could have any connection with Kitty'a disappearance? Impossible! he had given her his word of honor, nnd yet it was very strange. Mrs. Villiers waa not, by any means, a timid woman, so she determined to ask Gaston right out, and get a decided answer from him, so as to set her mind at rest. "M. Vandeloup," she said. In her clear voice, "will you kindly come here for a moment?" "Certainly, Madame," said Gaston, ris ing with alacrity from the piano, nnd coming to the fireside; "Is there anything I can do?" "You have heard of Miss Marchurst's disappearance?" she nuked, looking up at him. "Yes, Madame," he answered, In his cnlm, even tones. "Do you remember the day I Introduced her to you and you gave me your word of honor you would not try to turn her head?" pursued Madume, looking at hiin ; "have you kept your word?" "Madame," said Vandeloup, gravely. "I give you my word of honor that I bave always treated Mile. Kitty as a child and your friend. I did not know that she had gone until I waa told, and whatever happens to her I can safely say that it waa not Gaston Vandeloup a -fault." An admirable actor, thia man, not a feature of his face moved, not a alngle deviation from the calmness of his speech not a quickening of the pulse, nor the rush of betraying blood to hla fair face- no I Madame withdrew her eyca quite satisfied. M. Vandeloup waa the soul of honor. 'M. Vandeloup," aaid Madame sudden ly, after they had been chatting for a few momenta, "one thing you must do for me in Meloourne." 'I will do anything you wish," said Vandeloup, gravely. "Then," aaid Madame, earnestly, rialng and looking him in tho face, "you must find Kitty and send her back to me." "Madame, aaid Vandeloup, solemnly, "It will be the purpose of my life to re store her te your arms." CHAPTER XIX. There waa great dismay at the Tacto- lus mine when it became known that Vandeloup waa going to leave. The only two who were unfeignedly glad at Vande loup s departure were Selina and Mcin tosh, far these two faithful hearts had seen with dismay the Influence the French man waa gradually gaining over Madame Mldaa. For soma time past Mcintosh had not been aatiafied with the character of the ground In which be had been working, eo abandoning the shaft he was then in, he bad opened up another gallery to the west, at right angles from the place where the famous nugget had been found. The wash waa poor at first but Mcintosh perse vered, having an Instinct that he waa on the right track. A few weeks' work prov ed that he waa right, for the wash soon became richer; and aa they went farther on toward the west, there was no doubt that the long-last Devil's Lead bad been atruck. This gave Madame Midas a week ly income et one thousand one hundred pounds, so she now begnn to see what a wealthy woman ahe waa likelv te be. Vandeloup congratulated Mudume Mi das on her luok when he waa goiug avvav and privately determined that he would not lose sight of her, as, being a wealthy woman, and having a liking for him, she would bo of great value. Ha went to Bui larat, and put up at the Wattle Tree Hotel, intending to start for the metrop olis next morning; but en his way, in order to prepare Kitty for hla earning, aent a telegram for her, telling her tho train he would arrive by, in order that she might be at the station to meet him After hla dinner he auddenly recollect ed that ho stWl had the volume which Dr, Golllpeck bad lent him, so, calling a cab, he dreve to the residence of that eccentric Individual to ret n re It. Whea the servant announced M. Van deletip, ahe pushed him in and suddenly closed the door after her, aa though she waa afraid ef some et the doctor's idea getting away. "Good evening, doctor," said Vandeloup, laylag the book down on the table at which Gellipeck waa seated ; "I've come to retnra you thia and say good'by." "Ten read tbis?" he said. laying his hand on the book ; "good, eh f "Very good, Indeed," returned M. Van deloup, smeotaly ; "ao kind ef you to have lent it to me all these casea quoted were known to ne." "The case of Odele Blondot for In stance, eh?" asked the old man sharply. "Yea, I was present at the trial." re plied Vanoelonp, quietly; "the prisoner, Octave BraeJard, was convicted, con demned te death, reprieved and sent to New Caledonia." "Where he now la," aaid Golllpeck, quickly, leaking at him. "I presume ae." replied Yandtdoup, 'sa lly. "After the trial I never bothered my head abort him." "lie peiaencd Adele Bloudet," aaid the doctor. "Yea," answered Vandeloup, leaning forward and looking at Golllpeck. "He found she waa lu love with an English man, and poisoned ber you will find it all in the book." "It AoeS not mestloa the bngllahmaa," as Id the f:vtoe, tnougliKjlly tapping fa table with his hand. "Nevertheless he was Implicated la It, hut went away from Paris the day Bran lard was arrested," answered Vandeloup. "The police tried to find him, but could not; if they had it might have made some difference to Uie prisoner." "And the name of this Englishman?" "Let me see," said Vandeloup, looking np reJpctively; "I almost forget It Kes tnnke, or Kestrike, some name like that lie must hav Wra a very clever ma a to have escape.f tUo French police." Aa, biimr said the doctor, rubbing his nose; "very Interesting indeed; strange case." "Very," assented M. Vandeloup. as he arose to go. "I must aay geod-by now, doctor; but I'm coming up to Ballarat ea a visit shortly." "Ab, hum! et course," replied Golll- perk, also rising, "and we can have an other talk ever thia book." "That or any other book you like," said Vandeloup, with a glance of surprise; but I don t see why you are se anncli nken np with that velume; it's not a work of genius." , "Well, no," answered Onlllpeck, look- ng at him; "still. It contains some excel- cut cases of modern poisoning." So I saw when I rend It," returned Vandeloup, Indifferently. "Oood-by," holding eut his hand, "or rather I should s.'iy ii revolr," and Vandeloup walked out of the room with a gay smile, hum ming a tune. 'He Is suspicious," muttered the young man to himself, thoughtfully; "although he has nothing to go on in connecting me a-ilh the case. Should I use the poison here I must be careful, fer that mas will be ftiy worst enemy." (lo be continued.) MARKET DAY IN NORMAN TOWN. Women nt Talnarnea Bo Their Own Havlnar and naraalnlnar. All the women of Valognes do their own marketing and some of the well known fish women nnd farmers' wives who come In from tlio country with poultry would be quite hurt If Madame la OointesHO didn't come herself to give her order and have n little talk. This morning I have been to market with Countess Florinn, relates a writer In Scrlbner's Magazine. The women look ed so nice nnd clean In their short, black, heavily plaited slilrta, high white enps nnd handkerchiefs pinned over their bodices. The little stalls went nil down the narrow main street nnd spread out on the big square before the church. The church Is lurce. with n square tower and flue dome nothing very Interesting n to architecture. Some of the stalls were very tempting nnd the smiling, red-checked old wom en, sitting up behind tliolr wares, were ho civil aud nnxlotiM to sell us some thing. The fish market was most invit ing quantities of flat, white turbofs, shining silver mackerel and fresh cre vettcs piled high on a marble slab with water running over tbem. Four or five short-skirted, bare-legged fisher girls were atundlug nt the door with baskets of flsu on their heads. Fiorina Joined us there and seemed on the best of terms with these young women. lie made all kinds of Jokes with them, to which they responded with giggles and a funny little half courtesy, half nod. Both Florluns spoke so nicely to all the market people as we passed from r.tnl! to stall. The poultry looked very good such fat ducks and chickens. . It was funny to not the bourgeoises of Valognes all armt-d with a large basket dolug their marketing; they looked nt the chickens, poked them, lifted them so as to be sur of their weight, and evidently knew to a centime what they hnd to pay. I fancy the Norman me nagerie Is a pretty sharp customer aud known exactly what she must pay for everything. The vegetable stalls were very well arranged the most enormous cabbages I tuet saw. I think the old women who presided there were doing a flourishing business. Cold Proposition.

Two or three Representatives, walk ing to tho capltol, came along and found Brownlow there, sitting in state. 'Ill, Brownlow," snld one of them, "how about this?

Mrs. Herbert Gladstone, the wife of the Hom Secretary In London, is very popular among politicians, and while she Is the daughter of a tory she Is herself an enthusiastic liberal. Mrs. Gladstone takes a most active interest In political questions and Is of great assistance to her husband. She was Miss Dorothy Paget and her marriage to Mr. Gladstone, son of the famous statesman of England, which took place In 1001, was one of the moBt brilliant social events of a decade. FINDS PLANT HAS NERVES. cleatlat Discovers Kinship la Sen sitiveness to Animals. . Most persons have heard of the "sen sitive plant," which shrinks from rough handling and expands under gentle treatment, but the scientific truth that all plants are sensitive, that they have a nervous organization like that of the lower animals, will be news to many. This truth was first proclaimed by Professor J. C. Bose. Previously phys iologists had attributed apparent evi dences of sensation In plants to a dis turbance of the equilibrium of the wa ter In their tissues. Now they kr.ow that plants bave really a nervous or ganization and respoud In that way to outsldo Influences. ProfesHor Bose regards the plants as a machine, complex, capable of delicate response to external stimulus-inducing oiovements nnd with the power of hold ing back part of the energy resulting from the stimulus shock. Tho exter nal stimulus Induces expansion. The Interaction of this contraction end exponslon is found to account for the various phenomena characteristic of life. Not the least important part of this conclusion would seem to be that It brings Into close relationship phe nomena between which no connection could be previously detected. He finds no exception to the rule that response la always by concavity of the more ex cited side of an organ. The rythmic activity of tho plant tis sue is measured by the rate of forward propulsion of water due to contractu response. The transmission of excita tion Is detected by various methods glv. Ing results in entire agreement It Is curious to find that the so-called sensi tive plants are lu some respects less sensitive than their fellows which were supposed to be Insensitive. Among the most interesting of the ex periments are those dealing with the action of drugs upon the mechanical response of the plunt It Is not, of course, a surprise to learn that the Im mediate effect of exposure to the Influ ence of vapor of alcohol Is, as a rule, one of exaltation. There are, however. Individual casea In which a state of depression Is In duced from the moment of exposure. SUNLIGHT AND TBS HOUSE. Jtoosaa Moat la laa Shoald Be Ar raae4 that Ther Roeelve Rare. Sunlight Is nature's movt health-giving scavenger. A bouse without sun light Is unhealthy and unsafe for hu man occupancy, aud It la- necessary not if! 'J.i a-.: ii ', t .:;.'; It only 'to have some sunlight, but to have as much of It as possible. It Is, of course, not feasible to ud'aiit the direct rays of the sun to every room of a house; the typical plan of all houses Is square or rectangular, and nt least one side of the house Is entirely beyond the reach of the sun. The other three sides, however, can receive more or less direct sunlight and the problem of the plan Is thus re duced to arranging the various rooms so that the amount of sunlight is ad justed to their uses, and It must bo sunlight, for mere light Itself la not sufllelent ; the rays of the sun have curative and cleansing properties that nothing else has. It Is generally admitted that a south ern exposure Is the best for nil houses and should be obtained whenever possi ble. It Is Immaterial whether the en trance be placed on this side or not so long as the rooms most In use open onto that side. In dwellings of average size the en trance front will also be the front on which any Important room opens, but In large country bouses the old dis tinction of a front and back to a house has disappeared and Instead we bavo the entrance front and the garden front; the servlco nnd servants' quar ters, so long regarded as characteristic of the "back" of a house, may be rele gated to a side end or placed In a wing that abuts directly on the entrance front In such cases It must be well screened and Its purpose thoroughly subordinated. American Homes and Gardens. APPLE ORCHARD CENTURIES OLD la Ma no, IT. M., Planted br the Spaniards. . The oldest apple orchard in America. If not In the world. Is In the center of the ancient town of Mansano, eighteen miles southwest of Estarcla, Torrance County, N. M. Many of the trees are more than six feet In circumference, but all are still fruitful and vigorous, although neglected for generations. Little ts known of the history of this orchard, but the oldest inhabftants of the valley of the Rio Grande remem ber the orchard from childhood, and claim that the trees bave not changed in appearance since then.. Venerable Mexicans and Pueblo Indians tell of visiting the orchurd as far back as they can remember, and finding apples on tho ground in all stages' of decomposi tion at least two feet deep. The Estancla Valley has been peo pled for ages, probably by the kins men of the natives found by tho Span ish explorers at Gran Qulvlra, Abo and other ancient cities. Probably In the early days of the Spanish occupation some Franciscan monk found bis way to Manzano aud there planted the seeds that have developed Into these vener able trees. They are no doubt fully 300 years old. Close by the orchard Is a little lake, fed by a large spring. A short distance away Is a grove of pines and cedars, making an ideal place for picnic and camping parties. Kansas City Star. Willing- to Take a Chaneo. Some years ago an Irishman right from the old country secured n Job cutting Ice on a pond.

Now, Pat bad seen a cross-cut saw that Is used In cutting logs that requires a man ou either end, and as the saw the foremau gave him resembled the cross cut be bad seen be supposed it required two men to work.lt so, seeing another man standing near when be was to commence cutting, be said: "Say, friend, I'll toss up a cent to see who goes below."
