THE BED CLOUD CHIEF. g& CHAPTER XV. (Continued.) "Was this what you wero working tor?" I demanded, with a sudden jeal ub suspicion. "Perhaps I wasl" she answered loft ily. "I hope she will never bo sorry that she chose wrong." "I hopo notl" I assented cordially. "A real gentleman," repeated Miss Woodward "as free-handed and free spoken as a prince a gentleman who knows how to treat a woman, even If he Is only a servant n gentleman I'd work my Angers to tho bono for, and so would a good many morol" "You did your best for him," I could not help saying. "You 1iavo nothing to reproach yourself with." It was true, ns WIddrlngton had raid, that all tho women wero fasci nated by handsome, darc-dovll Charlie. What wonder that Nona had felt his power? I could only bo thankful that tho fascination had not gone deeper. "No; l'vo nothing to reproach myself with," tho maid assented. "And I'll pray night and day for my young lady, that she may see her mistake before It is too late." And with this parting shot the reso lute virago marched sternly from tho room without a word of farewell civil ity. I finished my Interrupted letter.?, and (hen sought Nona. Sho met me with a dismayed face. "Such a strange thing has happened," Rhe exclaimed. "Woodward has left at n moment's notice. Sho would not give any explanation of her going, only eald that sho was sorry to Inconven ience me, but circumstances obliged her to leave at once; and sho has cone." "Tho most extraordinary proceed ing," chimed In Miss Elmslie. "I told Nona that sho could Insist upon Wood ward's remaining until sho had found another servant. If it had not hap pened that a young girl from tho vil lage Is at liberty to take her place at once, It would havo been most Incon venient and nwkward; and Woodward was such an excellent maid. I supposo "WHERE'S THE YOUNG FELLOW GONE TO?" he has had some quarrel with the servants and she never had a good temper." "I wonder,'.' began Nona, and then topped suddenly. "What do you wonder?" I asked. "Nothing," sho laughed, "only an odd Idea of mino." "Tell mo your Ideas; I Uko to hear them all." "I was wondering whether Tlllott's leaving had anything to do with Wood ward's. I know sho liked him, and thought him a great improvement on Charles; but then ho waa "so much younger. Of course It waB very Billy of mo to connect tho two events." "I don't know about that. I think It was very sagacious of you," I an iwfirod "Then thero Is something. "What are you laughing at? What Is it?" "You are right, my dearest. Wood ward's and Tlllott's departures do hang together." And then, Miss Elmsllo having dis creetly retired, I told Nona tho whole tory from beginning to end, only en Joining on her tho Bocrecy which tho dar llttlo indiscreet Miss Elmslle could never have been trusted to' nro eervo. Nona's astonishment was unbounded. "What a plot!" sho exclaimed. ''It' la like a book; .and Wpodward, who eeomed eo quiet' and so respectable, was helping It all And that man Tll, lott was a detective, ""How strange it all is I I feel as if I wero in a dream. Tho will was really stolen then( not lost, and and now I understand; you puzzled me so when you persisted you had eeon mo at Molton, and (hat I bad taken your bag. I waa puzzled, and and a llttlo angry" blushing. "YeB, you wero thoroughly mysti fied," I agreed. "0 I do hope,"' said Nona, "that man, Idi.ngton, will never, never find Charlie poor Charlie, who was my playfellow and friend, and my poor ancle's pet and darlln;;, treated like a t i 11 mN$LOV&& common thief. Yon will not allow It promise nic.you will not." "It will not be so bad as that," I as sured her. "Of courso ho must bo made to surrender tho will. However, we will not talk about him any longer. This Is my last evening, you know, and I havo a thousand things to say. Tho time Is too precious to waste, my dar ling." I left the Rectory on tho following day. Tho next few months wero passed in a dream of happiness which left mo llttlo thought for Charlie Branscombo or his concerns. Occa sionally, It is true, I wnB brought into relations with WIddrlngton, for my connection with tho ofllco could not bo abruptly terminated, and In tho matter of Forest Lea I felt that I had a special responsibility to discharge. Tho do tectlvo was actively following up cluo after clue as they camo Into his hands. His pride and his professional Interest wero thoroughly roused by his first failure, and ho was bent on completing tho caso in which ho had nlready worked so hard. Mr. Charles llrans combo had not left England so much WIddrlngton was suro of. Probably want of means had prevented his going far from homo and tho numerous friends and adherents who wero nlways ready to help him. "I shall run him down yet," WId drlngton confidently asserted. "Ho must bo starved out sooner or later." In tho meantlmo Forest Lea was shut up and deserted, at the Rector's constant regret; and only a vaguo Im pression of tho truth floated about tho neighborhood, whero my darling still remained, under the friendly protec tion of Mr. and Mrs. Heath cote. Sho had promised to bo mino In tho summer, when the first anniversary of the good old Colonel's death had come and gone. Then wo wero to havo a pretty wedding In tho vlllago church a wedding all flowers and sunshine, such as became our hopes and our happiness. I was fully occupied In preparing for that supremo event. I was refurnleh- Ing my newly-acquired home a lovoly old house In Kent, amongst tho hop gardens and woods of tho Weald and sparing no pains to mako It a fitting nest for tho sweet, gentle dove who was to preside over it. In such happy occupation, with fro quent viBlts to tho Mldshlro Rectory, the months passed quickly away. I had no personal part In tho next act of tho drama which concorned Mr. Charles Dranscombe, and must lcavo Its chronicle to another pen. CHAPTER XVI. A llttlo maid In a bluo cotton gown and a whlto muslin cap was picking peas In a cottage garden. Sho was taking her work In leisurely fashion, sitting on a three-legged stool with hor basket In her lap, and gathering tho plump pods as they dangled close to her hand. Tho vines grow high that year, and tho llttlo maid as sho sat was almost hidden In the green valley; not so much hidden, however, but that a hot and flustered police officer saw her as h3 tramped heavily up the path, and blurted out an abrupt question "Where's the young fellow gone to?" She looked up with a pair of tranquil bluo eyes, growing round with aston ishment, as she repeated ofter him, In a sfrong'country accent "Young fellar? What young foliar d'ye mean?" Sho, looked so fresh and so pretty, and the yellow fringe which peeped out from under her cap was so infantile In Its Innocent simplicity, that Mr. James Brown felt a momentary Impulse, in spite of his (lustration, to chuck her under tho cool rounded chin, and even perhaps help himself to a kiss from her red lips. If ho hadn't been so hot and eo worried whero tho dickens could that young rip havo got to? he would certainly have taken ndvantago of his opportunities. As it was he pur sued his investigation and resisted the temptation. , "A young fellar In a light twocd suit he yftt. making straight for here," he explained. "I saw him before mo over tho fields not ten minutes ago, and I'll swear I hardly lost sight of him. Ho must be In tho house; there Isn't an other place this way not even a shavo of wood to hide him and Smith and Varley would havo stopped him further down. Ho must be In the house." "Maybe, yo can ask," retorted tho damsel Indifferently, reaching out hor hand towards a group of pods, as if dismissing the subject. The officer wont his way, with Just another admiring glance at the pretty flguro In the charming green avenue. Tho door at the cottago Btood wldo open: a black cat was dozing In tho sun; nil waa quiet and sleepy; there was not a sound about tho place Tho officer's loud knock brought a stupid servant-girl with a snub noso and a wide-open mouth to answer his reit erated question. "Where's tho tho young gentleman who camo In hero Just now? I wnnt to speak to him." "Thero's no young gentleman here." ho replied "only my master and misses, and they're both old." "Whero nro they? Tell them Mr. James Brown wnnts to spenk to them." Tho girl preceded him Into tho parlor at tho end of tho passage, after knock ing at the door, and gavo his messago verbatim "Mr. James Drown wnnts to speak to ye." A decent old man of tho retired tradesman class, disturbed In his after noon nap, looked up with blinking eyes at tho Impatient constable, whilst his comely old partner put down tho stock ing sho was darning, and prepared to interview tho visitor. "Good afternoon, sir," sho said, Civ illy. "Won't you take a seat; it's warm walking." Was it real Innocence or only a sham? Mr. Drown was not going to be taken In; theso peoplo wero probably allies of Mr. Charles Dranscombe old servants or something of that sort. Tho old gentleman's yawn wns too demonstrative, and he did not mean to let tho old lady's civility put him off tho scent ho was quite up to that game. Ho glanced sharply around tho room, behind the old man's ponderous arm-chair, at tho cupboard door, even up tho chimney, beforo he nnswprcd In his most official tone "A young gent entered this house about ten minutes or maybo a quarter of an hour ago, Mr. Charles Brans combo by name. I've got business with him very particular business, if you'll let him know." "Mr. Charles Branscombe," echoed tho old man; "he's not here, and hasn't been, to my knowledge." "Then It's without your knowledge," retorted Mrs Brown, who was getting cross. "I'll tako my davy he's some where on tho premises; and, as I hold a warrant for his apprehension, I shall havo to search for him with your leave or without it." "You'ro an Ill-mannered upstart that's what you aro," exclaimed Mr. Walker, very wldo awake now, and starting up to face Mr. Brown. "And I dare you to search my house war rant or no warrant, I'm an honest man, and I've nothing to do with your scamps; and if I was ten years younger I'd kick you out faster than you camo In that's what I'd do" warming as ho wont on. "Hush, Samuel!" Interposed tho dame, laying her hand upon his arm, as ho shook his fist In tho Intruder's face. "Never mind his manners it's only his Ignorance. We don't mean to resist tho law; If he's got a warrant, lot him show It, and he's welcome to search If ho likes. He'll soon see it's no use. My husband is old, sir" nsldo to Mr. Brown, as tho old gentleman walked to tho window, and wiped hla forehead with his handkerchief "and he's apt to ho hasty when he's waked sudden out of his sleep. Let us scf your warrant, If you please, sir." (To be continued.) MAN'S LUNOS SPRUNO A LEAK. That I Why the Cleveland nackman Wai Bo Greatly Swelled. From tho Cloveland Leader: It is not often that a thin man becomes alarmingly obese within twenty-four hours. This, however, was the experi ence of Martin McIIugh, who Ib a back driver, and lives at 216 Hamilton street. Wednesday morning he was too small for his clothes. Several hours later he had a pronounced "bay window," his hands, feet, logs and arms wero twice their natural size, and bis cheeks as sumed rotund proportions that sur prised tho members of his family. Ho did not stop there, but continued to grow big, finally being compelled to discard hla clothing and take to a bed. Dr. D. D. Steur was called. Ho said It was evident that McHugh's lungs were leaking. This, according to the physi cian, becamo more evident when It was seen that with each breath the rotund portions rose and fell. In speaking of the curious case Dr. Steur said: "Mo Hugh was Injured by being struck with the thill of a wagon. He felt no Im mediate effects, but was obliged to go home later In the day. Every portion of his body scorned to acho. He then commenced to bloat, his body swelling to twice Its natural size. When called In by tho family I saw at onco that one of tho man's lungs had beon In jured nnd was leaking air. With Dr. N. Stone Scott I decided on an opera tion. Tho body was punctured. Tho air oamo out with alarming forco. The disabled lung was then laid bare. It had been Injured, a splinter having probably entered tho casing. The wound was cleaned and tho lung care fully sewed. From last reports the pa tient was doing nicely and will soon be at his old stand."

Although it is well known that the taking of tho census Is Intended as a prclhnliiaty step to the establishment of a republican form of government in Cuba, it la positively stated at tho war department that there is nothing In the census procla mation to justify the assertion that tho United States intends to give im mediate independence to Cuba.

This is the first license of the kind yet issued.
