UK receipt or Miss
H tth or I ngton's
cheek seemed to
ronio llko oil upon
the tioiibk-il wnt
crs of the little
household. Caussl
dlero was certainly
pleased. Though It
whh not no much,
he said, as the old
miser mlKht Nave
lent, It was certainly iw rentable u.idcr
the cItcumHtanc.cs.
After taking euro lo pocket the
draft, he tossed up the hoy and kissed
him, and told Marjorlo he lookeu as
If she coddled him too much. Then he
prepared to leave.
"Shall yon he back soon, Loon?"
asked Marjorle, timidly. Whonover
she addressed him now she was al
ways fearful of tho reception of her
words.
"I shall not return at nil," answered
Caussldlere; "or rather, I shall be late,
as I dine with a lit Me party of friends.
Ho not sit nit for me."
And with another kiss blown airily
to his offspring ho was off.
Marjorle did not cry or show any
sign that this conduct distressed her.
She was too used to It for that. She
turned In tender despair to her only
comfort the child. They sat alono to
gether, tho little one perched on his
mother's knee, listening opened mouth
ed as she talked to him of her old
home. She told him of Miss Hetlicr
lngton, about the manse, and Mr. Lor
raine, who lay quietly asleep in the
little klrkyard. How strange it would
be, she thought, to tako tho little, one
there. How Miss Hetlicrlngton would
love him; how old Solomon would
stare and call It "uncanny" to hear
him prattling so prettily In Kronen!
Ah! but would the day ever como
when she could tako him there In
deed? Long after the child had gone to
bed, Marjorle sat by the fire thinking
of thoso happy days; she wroto to
Miss Hetlicrlngton, concealing as well
na sho could tho dark spots In her life,
speaking cheerfully and happily of her
llttlo boy, and Htlll dwelling upon tho
hope of one day bringing him to her
old home.
Then sho sat down to wait for her
husband.
Caussldlere. was late, and when he
appeared Marjoile saw at a glance that
all his good humor had left him. Ho
was angry at finding her up; accused
her of wishing to time his going and
coming, and pciomptorlly ordered her
to bed. Without a word Marjorlo
obeyed; she saw that' ho was rather
tho wojso for liquor, and that any
thing sho might say would provoke
him.
Tho next morning she rose early, ac
cording to her usual custom. To her
amazement, Just as she was about to
glvo tho child his breakfast, Caussl
dlere came down.
He had dressed with unusual caro;
he took his breakfast silently, and
when It was over ho went up stairs
again to add a few more touches to
his already carefully made toilet; then
he reappeared, nodded to the boy and
to Marjorle ho was too well dressed
lo touch either and left tho Votirio.
Though ho had said nothing, Mar
jorlo was certain from Ills dress and
mysterious manner that It was no or
dinary work that had called him
away that morning, and as she
thought of tho strange, cold way he
had left her. her eyes filled with
tears.
Suddenly there was a knock at tho
door. Hastily brushing away her
tears, Marjorlo cried "Entrcz," and tho
door opened, admitting a woman, nono
other than Adclc of tho Moucho d'Or.
Of all the women of Caussldlero's
acquaintance, this was tho one whom
Marjorlo moBt wished to avoid. Sho
was halt afraid of Adelo, since sho had
on ono occasion heard her singing ono
of her songs in a cafo crowded with
men. Marjorlo's strict Scotch train
ing mado her shrink from commun
ion with such a woman. When sho
saw Allele's face, therefore, sho folt
troubled, and demanded rather coldly
what she sought.
"I seek Caussldlere," returned
Adelc. "Is ho at homo?"
"No," returned Marjorle, quietly,
"ho has gono out."
Sho thought this answer was con
clusive and expected to sec Adelo dis
appear, but sho was disappointed. Sho
ramo In, closing the door behind hor,
walked over to llttlo Leon, and patted
him on the head.
Leon gazed up and smiled; ho had
no fear of her; but Marjorlo made a
movement aB If to protect him from
her touch.
As Marjorlo rame forward, Adele
looked up from tho boy's curly head,
and asked, almost roughly:
"Whoro Is Caussldlere, did you say?"
"I do not know," returned Marjorle,
drawing tho hoy toward her; "ho did
not tell mo.
"Ho seems to tell you very little,
about hlmjiQl. madame," said Adelo,
fixing her eyes strangely upon her
companion's face; then sho added,
suddenly, "Why do you draw tho boy
nway from mo?"
Marjorle did not atiBwer, so, with a
ftES8 ASSOCIATION.
short, hard laugh, the gltl con
tinued. "I suppose you think, madame, that
I am not tit to touch hliu'.' Well, per
haps you arc right."
"f did not mean that," ictt.rued Mar
jorle, gently..
"If 1 kissed the little one, would you
ho nngry?" riled Adele, with a curious
change of manner. "Ah, madame, I
am bad enough, but not quite so bad
as you think me. 1 love little chil
dren. I once had a little boy like
this of my own."
"A little boy! Then you are mar
ried; j on have a husband "
"When my child was only a baby,
before he could walk or speak." con
tinued Adele, not heeding the ques
tion. "I-1 lost him. I do not even
know if he Is alive or dead."
And she lifted little Loon In her
arms, and klhscd him wildly.
Marjorlo's gentle heart was touched.
"You lost your child?" she cried, full
of sympathy.
"He was taken from me. madame. I
was too poor to keep hlni, and one
night ono cold winter night his
father placed him in the basket at the
Foundling, I have never seen him
since never!"
"How wicked of ou, how cruel! To
desert your rhllil!"
"You do not understand. In Franco
It Is the custom when folk arc poor."
Marjorle shrank fr.-ini the woman in
hoiror. All her luiu'ornnl heart was In
revolt, and with an impulsive gesturo
she drew little Leon to her and em
braced him tenderly.
Adelo looked at the pair with a
strange expression of mingled sonow
and pity.
"And your husband, madame?" sho
asked, suddenly. "Is ho good to
you?"
"Yes. Why do you ask?" says Mar
jorle, In surpiise.
"Never mind," returned Adele, with
her old laugh. "For myself, I think
that all men nro canaille. It Is wo
others, wo women, who bear tho bur
den while tho men ntuiiso themselves.
Why does Caussldlere leave you so
much alone? Why does he dress so
well, and leavo you and tho little one
so shabby? Ah, he Is like all the
rest!"
"What my husband does," cried
Marjorle, Indignantly, "Is no concern
of yours. I will not hear you say a
word against him!"
Adele laughed again.
"You are only a child." she said,
moving to tho door. "Will you glvo
Monsieur Caussldlero a message from
mo?"
"Yes, if you wish."
"Tell him ho Is wanted tomorrow at
our place; ho will understand."
Sho hnlf opened the door.then turned
and looked back.
"Do you know, madame, that In a few
dnys the Germans will bo befoie
Paris?"
"Ah. yes!"
"Let them hasten! I hope they will
como soon. I shall not be sorry for
one, If they burn Paris to tho
ground!"
"Why do you say that?" cried .Mar
jorle, shocked at tho speaker's tones
as well ns tho words.
"Let them burn Paris, and mo with
the rest of the people; It will bo well!"
said Adele, In a low voice, very bitter
ly. "Tho bonfire Is ilpe, madamo!
Hut," she added, "1 should bo sorry If
any harm came to you or to tho child.
Some day, perhaps who knows? I
may bo ablo to servo you. Will you
remember that?"
"What do you mean?" exclaimed
Marjorle. "You are a strango woman;
you "
"I am what I am; sometimes I think
I am a devil, not a woman at nil.
(iood-by."
And without another word she dis
appeared, leaving Marjorle lost In
wonder at the extraordinary Interview
between them.
CHAPTER XXVI.
N leaving Marjo
rlo that day and
coming Into tho
street, Caussldlero
walked along rapid
ly In tho direction
of tho boulevards.
Ho hummed a light
nlr ns ho went.nnd
hold up his hen a
with that self-sat
isfaction only felt
by tho man who has money In his
pocket. Indeed, the receipt of Miss
Hotherlngton'B draft had taken a
weight off his mind, ns ho had an ap
pointment that evening with an In
dividual whoso tnstes weio expensive
llko his own.
Ilia business during the day does not
concern us, but when It was evening,
and tho lights wero lit, the cafes
thronged, tho footpaths full of peoplo
coming and, going, ho reappeared in
tho center of the city. Lighting a cl
gnr, ho strolled up nnd down; paused
at a kiosk and lxiught a newspaper;
then, approaching tho front of ono of
tho grout cafes, found n vacant seut at
a tnblo, ordered somo coffee, and sat
down In tho open air watching tho
busy throng.
He was sitting. thus when his ntt'en
tentlon was attracted to u figure stand
ing close by him. It was that of a
young man drowsed carelessly In n
tweed suit and wearing a wideawake
hat. He ?:n standing In the light of
one of tho windows, talking to an
other man, somewhat his senior, whom
he had Just met. Caussldlere caught
a portion of their conversation,
"And boo laug lino ye. been In Par
Is?" asked the elder man.
"All the summer," replied the oth
er, "I camo hen to study and paint,
and 1 have been doing very well. How
ate all In Auiiandale?"
"llrawly, bruvvly. Where are you
staying?"
Caussldieie did not catch tho reply,
and tho two men moved away with
tho crowd; but he bad recognized, at n
glance, In the younger of the Inter
locutors, an old friend John Suther
land. "Diablo!" ho muttered. "What has
hi ought him to Paris? I must tako
care that he and Marjorlo do not
meet."
He lose, paid for his reficshmcnt,
and walked away. It was now 8
o'clock. Hailing n flacre, ho Jumped
In, and oideiod tho coachman to
drlvo to the theater du Chatelet.
Alighting at tho door, Caussldlero
strolled Into tho vestibule, and paid for
a scat In one of the balcony boxes. Ho
found the vast place thronged from
floor to celling to witness the per
formance of a fairy spectacle, then In
Its 100th night, tho "Sept Fllles du Di
ablo," founded on some fanciful east
ern story. It was a tawdry piece, with
Innumerable ballets, processions, pa
geants, varied with certain scenes of
horse-play, in which n corpulent low
comedian, n gieat popular favorlte.wns
conspicuous. Caussldlero was charmed,
concentrating his admiring eyes par
ticularly on one blnck-eycd, thickly
painted lady, who personated a fairy
prince and sang "risky" songs, with
toplcul allusions and dancing accom
paniments, In a very high shrill voice,
to the great rapturo of the assembled
Parisians. At the end of the third
act Caussldlere left his seat and

As Caussidlerc appeared, the actor
greeted him by name with a loud

"Welcome, mon enfant, welcome," ho
cried, shaking hands. "The Germans
arc approaching, yet behold we sur

who greeted them by their Christian
names Hlanche, Hose, Ada, Adele,
Sarah, and so on. He seemed to know
them well, hut, ns he talked to them,

go to California In 1H4H. The discovery
of gold there bad given rise to a pop'
itlar excitement far greater than the
Klondike sensation of to-day. Ills out

Mr. Field remained hut a shoit time
In San Francisco, and then went fur
ther Inland, stopping at tlie "town" of
Yulmvllle. Yubavlllo was undergoing

He dispensed Justice speedily and fear

dually siiicceded by an olllcer under

had tiiaile n number of enemies.
One or these enemies was W. It.

trial was held In a crowded saloon,
and most of tho spectators wero hostile

cided on tho boldest course. Ho knew
his facts, nnd ho boldly charged Jury

"With uplirted hands," ho said, ad
dressing tho Jury, "you have sworn to
return a verdict according to law and
evidence. Will you perjure your souls?
I know that you (pointing to a Juror)

At this point there was an ominous
movement In tho crowd, nnd "Click!
Click! Click!" was henrd. A score of
pistols wero cocked.
"There is no terror In your pistols,
gentlemen," thundered Mr. Field.
"You cannot win your enso by shooting
