They passed from room to room, find
ing each one gloomier tlian Its picde
ccssor. Tlio old man pointed out the
pictures and various relics which ho
thought might he Interesting, and
CausBldlere glanced about him with
eyes like a hawk. As they passed on
ward his face became less radiant; a
frown of weariness and disappoint
ment began to cloud his brow. At
length the whole of the caHtle had been
oxamlned, and the two men began to
descend the quaint oaken stairs. Cam
flldicre, lingering as If In no hante to
go, still talked pleasantly and glanced
Impatiently about him.
Presently they passed this half open
door of ft kind of boudoir. Caussldlere,
who had looked keenly In, paused sud
denly. "Surely," he said, "I know that fare!"
Tho old man went forward and
pushed open the door, and the French
man, following closely behind him, en
tered the room and stood thoughtfully
regarding tho object which had arrest
ed his attention. It was a picture, a
good sized painting, which hung above
the mantelpiece.
" 'TIs Marjorlc Annan," explained the
old man, "foster daughter to the minis
ter. 'Twas painted by Johnnie Suther
land. Tho mistress bought It because
she likes the lassie, an becauso it bus
a favor o horscl'."
Tho Frenchman stared.
"Llko Miss Hethcrlngton?"
"Ay, like hersel'," returned the, old
man. "You'd be no denying Itself If
you saw tho picture In that press, "ris

eighteen years of age."
"I should llko to see the picture."
"Aweel, aweel, you should see It; but

"You could not get It, I suppose?"
"Ay, I could get it." returned Sandic,
still under the Influence of tho French

Ho shuffled off, leaving the French
man alone.
Tho moment he was gone Caussl
dlero's face and manner underwent a
completo change Ho sprang from the
room, as it wore, with cat-like fury,
turned over papers, opened drawers,
ransacking everything completely. At
last he camo upon a drawer which
would not open; it was In a writing
cabinet, tho counterpart of one ho had
at home; he pressed a hidden spring;
in a moment the drawer flew open, and
Caussldlere was rapidly going over the
papers which It contained.
Suddenly he started, drew forth a
paper, opened, and read It. A gleam of
light passed over his face. He folded
tho paper, thrust It Into the Inner
pocket of his coat and closed tho draw
er. When tho old man returned with
his key ho found Caussldlere, with his
hands behind him, regarding the pic
ture of Marjorlo Annan.
CHAPTER XIV.
HIKE tho persever
ing Caussldlere was
Inspecting the In
terior of Annandalo
Castle, Miss Heth
crlngton was busily
making Inquiries
about him at Dum
fries. To her own dis
appointment she
learned nothing to
iho Frenchman's discredit, but, deter
mined to broak up all relations between
him and Marjorlo, sho visited the
manse tho next day and secured Mr.
Lorraine's consent that Marjorlo should
discontinue her French lessons for tho
present.
This done, sho ordered the coach
man to drive to Dumfries.
When they reached tho town they
drovo straight to Caussldlere's lodg
ing, and with a very determined face
tho lady of tho Castlo doscended and
walked up the doorsteps.
Sho knocked sharply at the door,
which was immediately opened by a
servant girl.
"I'm seeking tho gentleman that
lodges here tho French teacher," she
said, stepping without ceremony Into
tho lobby.
Caussldlere, who was within, put his
head out of tho door of his room, and
recognized his visitor at once with a
beaming smllo.
"Pray step this way, Miss Hethcrlng
ton," Uo crlod. "I am delighted to see
you!"-
Sho followed him Into his little It
tlngroom, and stood loaning upon her
Btaff and looking at him with her black
eyes, while bo drew forward a chair
aad begged her to bo seated. She nodd
ed grimly and glanced round tho apart
ment at tho tablo littered with corro
spoRdonco, at tho books scattorod hero
knd there, at tho roses and creepers
which peeped In at the open window.
Then Bho walked to the chair he nad
prepared for her, and sitting down,
looked at him fixedly again. Not In tho
least daunted, ho stood smiling at hor,
and waiting for her to explain her
business.
At last she spoke In her native
tongue.
"first and foreriost, how mucklo Is
Marjorlo Annnn owing to ye for her
French lessons?"
As sho asked the question, Miss Heth
crlngton drew out an old fashioned silk

purse and began examining its cjn
tents. Finding that tho Frenchman
did not reply, she looked up and repeat
ed it.
"How mucklo Is Marjorlo Annnn ow
ing ye? Tell me that, If you please."
"Nothing, Miss HethOrlngton," he re
plied. "Naethlng? Then Marjorlo has paid
yo already, maybe."
"Yen, she has paid me," returned
Caussldlere, quietly.
Naturally ouough his manner Irid
changed, and hbt courteous smile hud
given way to a cold expression of
hauteur, tempered with gentle Indig
nation. "How mucklo has sho paid ye?" de
manded the lady of the castle.
"Sho has paid mo," nnswerod the
Frenchman, "with her sympathy, with
her sweet society. I have not taken
money from her. I shall never take It.
My labor, Miss Hethcrlngton, has boon
a labor of love."
Tho lady's eyes flashed, and putting
up her purse, she uttered an Impatient
exclamation.
"Nao doubt," sho cried, "tint from
this day forward your labor's done. I
have como hero to pay you your hire,
and to tell you with my nln mouth thul
Marjorlo Annan's French lessons mo
ended, and that If she needs malr she'll
Kjt them from another teacher."
Caussldlere flushed angrily, but still
preserved his composure.
"May I ask a question, Miss Hether
liiBton?" "If you please."
"I should like to know what authority
you have to act on behalf of my dear
pupil.' I don't ask out of mere curi
osity; but you would oblige me by In
forming me If the young lady Meruit
has requested you to come bore on so
peculiar an errand?"
"The young lady? a bairn who kens
naethlng of the world."
"Hut, pardon me, had you her au
thority to dismiss me, or that of her
guardian?"
"The bairn's a balm, and the minis
ter's old and foolish. I've ta'cn the
business Into my own hands."
"Indeed!" exclaimed Cauesldlore, still
sarcastically smiling.
"Ay, Indeed!" repeated the lady, with
growing Irritation. "And I warn you,
once for a', to cease meddling with the
lassie. Ay, yo may smile! Hut you'll
smile, maybe, on tho wrong side of
your face, my friend, If yo dlnna tuk'
the warning I bring ye, and cease mo
lesting Marjorlo Annan."
It was clear that Caussldlere was
amused. Instead of smiling now, he
laughed outright, still most politely, but
with a self satisfaction wnlch was very
Irritating to his opponent. Subduing his
amusement with an clllort, h-j quietly
took a chair, and sat down opposite
Miss Hethcrlngton.
"Wool," she cried, striking with her
staff upon the floor, "what's your an
swer to my message?"
"You must give me a little time, you
havo no taken me by surprise. In the
rtrst place, why do you object to my
friendship for tho young lady? My In
terest In her Is great; I respect and
udmlt'o her beyond measure. Why can
we not be friends? Why can I not con
tinue to be her teacher?"
"A bonny teacher! A braw friend!
Do you think I'm blind?"
"I think," said Caussldlere, with a
mocking bow, "that your e03 aro very
wide open, Miss Hethorlngton. You
perceive quite clearly that I loio Miss
Annan."
Tho lady started angrily.
"What?" sho cried.
"I love her, and hope somo day, wlt.i
your permission, to make her my
wife."
Trembling from head to foot, Miss
Hetherlngton Btnrtcd to her feet.
"Your wife!" sho echoed, as If thun
derstruck. "Why not?" asked Caussldlere, calm
ly. "I am not rich, but I am a gentle
man, and my connections nre honor
able, I assure you. Why, then, should
you distrust me so? If you will per
mit me. I think I can glvo you very
good roasons for npprovlng of my union
with Miss Annan."
"How daur yo think of It" cried Miss
Hethcrlngton. "Marry thf.t bairn! I
forbid ye oven to como near her, to
speak wl' her again."
Causaldlcro shrugged his shoulders.
"Let us return, If you please, to whore
we began. You have not yot Informed
mo by what right you attempt to inter
fere with tho happiness of ray dear pu
pil." "By what right?"
"Precisely. What may bo the na
ture of your relationship with the
young lady?"
As ho spoke ho fixed his eyes keenly
upon hor, to her obvious embarrass
ment. Her pale faco grew pale than
over.
"I am Marjorlo Annan's friend," alio
answered, aftor a pause.
"Of that I am aware, Miss Hotherlng
ton. I am aware also that you havo
been very kind to her; that you havo
assisted hor from childhood with lnrse
Bums out of your own pocket. Mr.y I
ask, without offense, havo you done all
this out of puro philanthropy, becauso
you havo such a charltablo heart?"
Ho still watched her with tho same
half sarcastic, penetrating look. Her
embarrassment increased, and she did
not reply; but her lips became drr, and
THE Rtti) CLOUD CHIEF,
she moistened them nervously with the
tip of hor tongue.
Suddenly his manner changed and he
rose mulling from his seat,
"You nre fatigued," he said, politely.
"Let mo offer you a glass of wine."
She declined his offer with an angr
gestuie, and moved toward the door.
"I line warned you." she said In a hw
voice. "I hue warned you aud forbid
den you. If ye didn't heed my warn
ing I'll maybe find some other means
to bring you to your senses."
She would have left the houso, bat
quietly appronchlng the door, be set Ills
back against It and blocked the way.
"Pray do not go yot," ho said. "Par
don me, but you must not. You have
given me your message, my dear Miss
Hethcrlngton; now let me ask you to
hear mine."
"What's your will with me?" she
cried, Impatiently.
"Will you sit and llctcn a llttlo
while?"
"I'll stand whero I am. We3l?"
"First let me thank you for tho kind
nrss of your servant In showing mo
over the beautiful castle where you live.
I am Interested In nil old houses, and
yours is charming."
Sho staved at him In blank amaze
ment. "Tho Castle? when were you there?"
"Just before I returned to Dumfries.
I regretted that you wow) not at home,
In order that I might ask your kind
permission; but In your absence I took
the liberty of making a reconnaissance.
I camo away delighted with tho place.
The homo of your ancestors, I pre
sume .'
Tho words were Innocent enough, but
tho speaker's manner was far from as
wiirlii!'. mill his eves, kconly fixed on
hers, still preserved that penetrating
light almost a threat.
"Dell tali' tho man. Why do you
glower at me like that? You entered
my houso llko a thief, then, when I was
uwa'?"
"Ah. do not say that; It Is ungener
ous. I went merely as an amateur to
see tho ruins, and I found what shall
I say? so much more than I expect
ed." He paused.whlle she stood trembling;
then ho continued:
"Tho Castle Is so plcturcsquo.tho ruin
so Interesting, and tho pictures tho
pictures arc do romantic nnd so strange.
Ah, it Is a privilege, Indeed, to havo
such a heritage and such nn ancestry;
to belong to a family so great, so full
of honor; to havo a 'scutcheon without
one blot since the day when the first
founder wore it on his shield."
It was clear that he was playing with
her, laughing at her. As lid proceeded,
his manner became almost aggressive

her anger, Mlrs Hethcrlngton, with
outstretched hand, moved toward tho
door.
"Stand awa', and let mo pass."
Ho obeyed her in a moment, and with
a profound bow drew aside; but as sho
passed him, and put hor trembling hand
upon the door handle, ho said in a low
voice close to her car:
"It would bo a pity, perhaps, after
all, to quarrel with ono who knows so
much."
Sho turned furiously, and fixed her
eyes upon him.
"What's that?" she cried.
"Who knows so much, let us nay,
abont riie morals of your bonny Scot
land as compared with those of In belle
France."
"What do you moan? Speak out!
What do yo mean?"
Ho smiled, nnd bending again closo
to her ear, ho whispered something
which drovo tho last tint of blood from
her cheek, nnd mado her stagger and
gasp as If about to fall. Then, before
she could recover herself, or utter a
single word, he said alond, with tho
utmost politeness:
"And now, my dear lady, will you
stay a little whllo longer, and talk with
mo about Marjorlo Annan?"

"Much summer cooking may be done

"If asparagus Is ordered for today's din

that remaining for tomorrow's salad.
From a frlcasseo of chicken for dinner
the giblets may be served for giblct
stow for tho next day's luncheon. You
will thereby gain a dish without extra

may be served ns a first courso In placo

beof oxtract Into boiling water, nnd sea
soning It with celery seed and bay leaf.

ily digested. Cream of potato, cream
of pea, tomato, celery, asparagus, rice,

are all very acceptable In hot weather.
During the heated term tho roast Joint
might be served cold, nicely garnished
with edible greens. With It hot vege

the pot roasts and the heavy bolls, and
substitute chops, smothored beef, rolled

may bo served occasionally In the placo
of meat egg plant atuffod with meat

FOR HOSPITAL SERVICE.
i:xiiiNltlon Mi'illml Dln-i-tor ii1mi ll III
ri I'liiiiiiH'kiliitlon.
Dr. K. W. Lee, who was some time
ago appointed medical director for
the coining Omaha trans Mississippi
exposition, lias given the subject of the
mnlli'iil and hospital service on the
grounds a good deal of attention, and
lias made lecomniendatloiis to lint
management. These recommenda
tions hao been inutle after a close
study of the like department at recent
expositions mid at the. uutlonal eontcu
iiial.
The medical director's plan Is that
a two-story building shall be con
structed to cost about ."1,000. The
central and main portion ts to havo on
the ground floor the offlce. ti dispen
sary, an operating room and a room
for treating heat prostrations. There
would bo four wine,, one for u mule
ward capable of accommodating about
twenty patients, one for a female ward
capable of accommodating the sumo
number of patients, these two wings
to bo on the smut; side. On the other
side would be a wing for n surgical ex
hibit which would be made to consist
largely of specimens furnished by tho
surgeon-general of the army, and an
other In which would be a model
operating room aud a model hospital
patient's room. Tbo second floor
would bo reserved for the use of the
nurses and for sick rooms to aci-omuio-dute
the patients who could not with
predenco be soon removed from the
buildings to tbo down-town hospitals
or to their hotels.
A rather novel feature of the general
service would bo tho tricycle convey
ance of a doctor from the headquarters
building to any point on the grounds
from which a message for service came,
tho object being to get a doctor to tbo
desired plneo with as little delay as
possible. Tho machine would bo a
three-wheeled tilfair with n caso for
carrying medicines and appliance:, that
might be neessury for temporary use.
Accompanying tbo doctor would be an
ii..cndunt.
The plan contemplates an ambulance
najd the attendance at the building of
about half a do.en doctors every day
free of expanse rb tho exposition mini
ngeuiout. It would bo necessary to
have at the building also a janitor and
the services of ono mnlo nnd perhani'
three female nurses.

ami official etlquettu us be Is Ignorant
of law. Willi one sweep of bis pon lie
has nullified tho criminal code of Kan
sas, without giving thu slightest no-
tleo to any representative of tho stato
that ho intended to discuss thi) sub
ject. Ilohas dono this on t-sldo of tho
Jlstrict to which ho belonged and out
lido of tbo district in which he pre
tended to act. lie ban Issued this do
:rco without any request from Judgo
Foster, when ovary instinct of cour
tesy .should havo told film to say to tho
Insurance, lawyers'. 'Judgo Foster Is
just as accessible us I am. (Jo to him;
ho is your judge.. ' Willlaius hns Issued
this imperial ukase from tho moun
tains of Colorado, whero ho is spend
ing an idle .summer catching trout
with tho ambassador of the corpora
tion for whom ho acts. In the course
tlmu 1 presume ho will expect to
ditto his decrees from Loudon and
Paris aud Kcrlin.
"Previous to Judgo Williams' nil vent
on the scuue it has been fully hold by
all courts that the statutes of a stato
shall bear tho construction put upon
It by its own supremo court-, unless it
should bo In violation of tho constitu
tion, but as Judgo Williams did not
trou bio himself to como hi to tho con
fines of tho stato to mako tho order,
nor glvo nny notlco to tho attorney
general of his intention to do so, it Is
apparent that a llttlo thing like tho
statutes of a state or tho rulings of tho
supremo court will not hamper his in
fallibility lu tho dlfchargo of tho func
tions of his will. If tho federal judge
desires to nullify tho statutes of a
stato ho should at least get on tho
bench and perform his nuts In tho
public eye and not sneak on" to the re
cesses of the mountains; if ho desires
to nullify the laws ot a slate, ho
should at least serve notlco upon Its
officials and glvo thorn an opportunity
to bo heard. I notice that ho has
rushed into print with an unofficial In
terview dofondlng his course. I be
lieve that this Is tho first time in his
tory that a federal judgo has found it
iieccssnry to do this. If Judgo Will
iams would hold court In & court room
and try only those whom ho has sum
moned before him, ho wouldn't find it
necessary to rush into tho newspapers
'inil defend himself."
