CHAPTER XI. Who Glveth This Woman? Woman Ih a miracle of dlvlno contra dlctloiiH. Jules Mlchehit. On my roturn to my nimrtcrs nt Urowii'a hotel I looked lit tho top of my burmui. It was empty. My frlond Dniulrltlgo lmd proved fultliful. Tlio ollpper of tho ImroncBs wiib gono! So now, hurriedly, I began my toilet for thnt occasion which fo any gentleman nhotild bo the ono moat exacting, tho niOBt Important of IiIh llfo'H events.

I hurried to tho Ilond's Jcwolry plnco nnd secured n ring two hIzcb, Indeed; for, In our haste, betrothal and wedding ring needed tholr first uso nt tho Bamo day and hour. I found n waiting carriage which served my purpose, nnd Into It I Hung, urging tho driver to carry mo nt top speed Into Eluihurst road. Aa wo swung down the road I loaned forward, studying with Inter est tho dust cloud of an approaching carrlago. Aa It came near 1 called to my driver. The two vehicles paused ulniost wheel to whcol. It waa my friend Jack Dandrlilgo who sprawled on thu rear seat of tho carriage! That la to Bay, tho fleshy portion of Jack Dandritlgo. 111b mind, his memory, and all clso, wore gone. I sprang into hia carrlago and caught him roughly by tho arm. 1 felt In all his pockets, looked on tho car riage lloor, on the sent, and pulled up the dust rug At last 1 found the license "Did you soe tho baroness?" 1 asked, then. At this ho beamed upon me with a wldo smllo. "Did 1?" said he, with graity pull ing down his long hurt waistcoat "Did I? Mos" adml'ble woman In all the worl'! Of course. Miss 'I.Ik'IhmIi Churchill nlso moa ndinl'blo woman in the worl'," ho added politely, "but I didn't see her." The Buddon sweat broke out upon my forehead. "Toll me, what have you done with the slipper?" Ho shook his ltend sadly. "Mishta ken, my friend! I gavo mo' lulud'hlo Hllppor In the worl', Just ash you said, Just as baroncsB said, to Mlah Kllzn both Churchill -moa" adml'lile woman in tho worl'!" "Did you seo her?" I gasped. "Did you seo her father any of hor fami ly?" "God blush mo, no!" rejoined this young Btatesmau. "Feelings delicacy prevented. Washn't In tit condition to approach family innnsion. Alwnysh mo8' dollento. Sent packazh in by servant, from gate turned round drovo off found you." My only answer was to spring from his cnrrlngo Into my own and to order my driver to go on nt a run. At last I reached tho driveway of lOlmhurst, my carrlngo wheels cutting tho gravol aa wo galloped up to tho front door. My approach was noted. Kven as I hurried up tho stops tho tall form of nono other than Mr. Daniel Churchill appeared to greet mo. I extondod my hand. He did not notlco it. I began to speak. Ho bado me pause. "To whnt mny I attribute this visit, Mr. TrlBt?" ho asked mo, with dignity. "Slnco you ask mo, and seem not to know," I replied, "I may say that I am hero to marry your daughter, Mlsa Elizabeth! I presumo thnt tho inln iBtor of tho gospel la already hero?" "The minister Is hero," ho nnawored. f 54-40 FICHTT BY EMERSON, HOUGH uVVTIIOU.

"I regtet that I must bar my door to you. Hut you must take my word, as coming from my daughter, that you are not to come here tonight." I looked nt him, my eyes fltarlng wide. I could not believe what ho nald. "Why," I began; "how utterly mon slrotiH1" A step Hounded In the hall behind him, and he turned back. We wore Joined hy the tall clerical llguro of Rov. Dr. Ilalford, who had, It seemed, been nt lenst one to keep his appoint ment ns made. Ho raised his hand hb If to sllenco me, nnd held out to mo n certain object. It was tho slipper of tho Ilaroness Helena von Itltz white, delicate, dainty, bertbboncd. ".Mlsa Elizabeth does not pretend to understand why your gift should take this form; but ns the slipper evidently linn been worn by some one, she sug gests you mny perhaps bo In error In sending It nt all." He spoke in ovon, ley tones. "Let mo Into this house!" I de manded. "I must see her!" There were two tnll llgurea now, who stood aide by aldo In tho wldo front door. "Hut don't you nee, there has boon a mlstnko, n horrlblo mistake?" I do mnnded. Dr. Hnlford, In his grave nnd quiet way, nsslated himself to snuff. "Sir," he said, "knowing both families, I agreed to this haste and unceremoni ousness, much against my will. Had there been no objection upon either "There Lacks One side, I would have undertaken to go forward with tho wedding ceremony. Hut never In my life have I, and never fahall I, join two In wedlock when either Is not In that Htate of mind and soul conMinnnt with that holy hour." All at onco I felt a swift revulsion. Thero came over me the reaction, nn ley calm. "Gentlemen," Hnld I slowly, "whnt you tell me is absolutely impossible and absurd. Hut if Miss Elizabeth really doubts me on evidence audi as this, I would bo the last man In tho world to ask her hand. I have no time to argue now. Good-by!" They looked at me with grave faces, but mado no reply. 1 descended the steps, tho dnlnty, borlbboned slipper still In my hand, got Injo my carriage and started back to tho city. CHAPTER XII. The Marathon. As if two boiIh dliotild play hoiiio heav enly tnntch, and on this wiikit lay two earthly women - Sluikespeaio An automaton, senrcoly thinking, I gained tho platform of tho station. Thero was a sound of hissing Bleain, a rolling cloud of sulphurous smoko, a shouting of railway captains, n creak ing of tho wheels. Without volition of my own, I waa on my northward jour noy. Presently I lookod around nnd foui.d seated at my sldo tho mnn whom I then recollected I wna to meet Dr. Samuel Ward. "What'a wrong, Nicholas?" ho asked. "Trouble of any klml?" 1 Iff A i So, briefly, I told him whnt littlo 1 knew of tho events of tho last hour I told him of tho shnino and humilia tion of It all. lie pondered for a minute and asked me tit length If I believed .Miss KHaboth suspected any thing of my errand of tho night be fore. "How could sho?" I nnswered. "So far aa I can recollect, I never men tioned the name of tho Hnroncss von Ultz." Then, nil nt once, 1 did recollect! I did remember that I had mentioned the name of the baroness that very morning to Kllzabeth, when tho bar oness passed ub In the east room! Dr. Ward was keen enough to Bee the sudden confusion on my face, but ho made no comment beyond saying thnt he doubted not tlmo would clear It all up: that he had known many Buch nffnlrs. "Hut mind you ono thing," ho added, "keep those two women npnrt." "Then why do you two doddering old Idiots, you and John Calhoun, with llfo outworn and tho-blood dried In your veins, send me, since you doubt mo so much, on nn errand of this kind. You seo what It has done for me. I nm done with John Calhoun. Ho may get some other fool for his service." "Where do you propose going, then, friend?" "West," I answered. "WeBt to the KockioB " Dr. Ward calmly produced n tor tolso shell snuff-box from his left hand wnlstcoat pocket, and deliberate ly took snuff. "You are going to do nothing of the kind," said ho calmly. UlL ft! Ifilil c )C Thing, a Bride." "You are going to keep your promlso to John Calhoun nnd to mo. Believe me. the business In hnnd in vital." "I care nothing for thnt," I an swered bitterly. "Hut you are the agent of your country. You mo called to do your country's utgont work. All Hfo la only trouble vanquished. I ask you now to be a man; I not only expect It, but demand It of you!" Ills words carried weight In splto of myself. 1 began to listen. I took from hla hand the package, looked at It, examined It. Finally, as ho Bat si lently regarding me, I broko tho seal. "Now, Nicholas Trlst," resumed Dr. Ward presently, "there la to bo at Montreal at tho date named in theso papers a mooting of tho directors of tho Hudson Hny Company or England. Thero will bo big men there tho big gest their country can produce; lead ers of tho HudBon Hny Company, many public mon even of Englnnd. It Is rumored that a brother of Lord Aboidcen of tho British ministry will attend. Do you begin to understand?" Ah, did I not? Here, then, wns fur ther weaving of thoso complex plots which nt that tlmo hedged in nil our history as a republic. Now I guessed tho virtue of our knowing somowhat of England'a secret plnns, as sho sure ly did of ours, I begnn to feol be hind mo tho impulse of John Cal houn'B swift energy. "It la Oregon!" I exclnlmed nt last. Dr. Ward nodded. "Vory possibly. It haB seemed to Mr. Calhoun very groat Importance regarding tho far northwest. A missed cog now may cost this country 1,000 miles of terri tory, 100 years of history," In splto of myself, I begnn to fool the stluyilus of n thotsht like this. It was my salvation as a man. I be gan to set aside myself and my own troubles. "You are therefore," ho concluded, "to go to Montreal, and find your own way Into that meeting of the directors of tho Hudson Hay Company. Thero la n bare chance thnt In this lntrlguo Mexico will have nn emissary on tho ground ns well. There 1b reason to suspect her hostility to all our plans of extension, southwest and northwest. Naturally, It Is tho card of Mexico to bring on war, or accept It If we urge; but only In case bIio has England aB her ally. England will got her pay by taking Texas, and what la more, by ta king California, which Mexico does not value. She owes England largo sums now. That would leavo England owner of tho Pacific const; for, onco she gets California, she will light us then for nil of Oregon. It is your duty to learn all of these matters who Is thero, what la done; and to do this without making known your own Identity." I sat for a moment In thought. "It Is nn honor," said I llnally; "nn honor so large that under It I feel small." "Now," said Dr. Ward, placing a gnarled hand on my shouldor, "you begin to talk llko n Marylander. It's a race, my boy, a race ncross this con tinent. Thero nro two trails ono north and ono mid-contlnont. On theso paths two nations contend In tho greatest Marathon of nil tho world. England or tho United States mon archy or republic nrlstocracy or hu manity !" CHAPTER XIII. On Secret Service. If the world wna lost through women, nho nlono can savo It. Louis do Beau fort. In tho days of which I write, our civilization was, as I may say, so embryonic, that It is difficult for ua now to realize tho conditions which then obtained. Wo had several broken railway sys tems tiorth nnd south, but thero woro not then moro than 5,000 miles of rail way built In America. All things con sidered, I felt lucky when wo reached New York Iosb than 24 hours out from Washington. Up tho Hudson I took tho crack stenmor Swallow, the same which Just ono year later was sunk whllo trying to beat her own record of nlno hours and two minutes from Now York to Albany. Sho required 11 hours on our trip. Under conditions then ob taining, It took mo a day and a half moro to reach Lako Ontario. Here, iinpplly, I picked up a frail stenm craft, owned by an adventurous soul who wns not unwilling to risk his llfo nnd that of others on tho uncertnln nnd Icc-fllled waters of Ontario. With him 1 negotiated to carry mo with others down tho St. Lawienco. Ono I delay after another with broken ma chinery, lack of fuel, running Ico and i what not, required five dr.s moro of I my time ere I reached Montreal. i A3 1 moved about Jroin day to day, , making such ncqualntanco aa I could, I found In tho air a feeling of excite ment nnd expectation. Tho hotols, ' bad as they were, were packed. Tho , public places were noisy, tho private I Iiouscb crowded. Gradually the town i becamo half-inilltnrj nnd hnlf-snvage. ; Persons ol importance arrived by i steamers up the river, on whoso ex- pause lay boats which might bo bound for England or lor homo of Eng land's colonies. Tho government not yet removed to Ottawa, later capltnl of Ontario was then housed In tho old Chateau Hamezay, built so long botore for the French governor, Vnudreull Here, I had reason to believe, wns now established no loss a personago thnn Sir Georgo Simpson, governor of the Hudson Hay Company. Humor hnd it at tho time that Lord Aberdeen of Kuglnud himself wns at Montreal. That wub not true, but I established without doubt that his brother really wna there, as well as Lieut. William Peel of the navy, son of Sir Itebort Peel, England'a prime mlnlater. I waa not n week In Montrenl before I learned thnt my mnster'a guess, or his information, had been correct. Tho rnco waB on for Oregon! All these things, I say, 1 saw go on about me. Yet In truth as to tho in ner workings of this I could gnln but littlo actual Information. I saw Eng land's shlpH, but It was not for mo to know whether they wero to turn Capo Hope or tho Horn. I saw Canada's voyageurs, but they might bo only on their annual journey, and might go no further than their accustomed posts In tho wost. In Fronch town nnd Eng lish town, among common soldiers, voyageurs, innkcopors nnd merchants, I wandored for moro than ono day and folt myself still helpless. That Is to say, cuch was tho caso until thero camo to my uid that great est of all allies, Chanco. (TO UB CONTINUED.) FLAX IS PROFITABLE Wonderfu. Paying Proposition In Western Canadian Prairies. So much Is hoard of tho whsat, oata and barley grown In tho pralrlo lands of westorn Canada, and do much has bocn told of tho wealth to bo made, out of tho raising of cattlo on tho succulent and rich grasses of thoso fertllo plains, that a most Important product has boen al most lost sight of, Flax. Recent press reports advlso ua that on ono of tho last boats to clear from Fort William (at tho head of Ivilto Superior) for Buffalo, thoro woro 241,000 bUBhqls of flax vnlucd at $583,220, and on another boat leaving tlio samo day thero wcro 258,000 bushels valued at $720,000. Thero has been a big demand for Ca nadian flax this season, nnd tho lako movement hna been very heavy. Flax la always u suro crop, and gives to tho farmer who la anxloua for quick return after getting on his land, the. chanco ho la looking for. Thero la opportunity for thousands yot, on tho freo homcatenda of 1G0 acres, and many of theso aro avallablo within Bhort dlstanco of tho lines of railway that nro already built or under con struction, cither on tho main lino or branches. Besides theso freo grant landa thoro Is an opportunity to pur-chase- from railway nnd land com panies at rcasonablo prices. Tho display of weBtcrn Canada's grains In tho straw aa well aa threshed grains and grasses recently mado at St. Louts waa an excellent demonstration of what tho country can do. It provod splendid as an illustration of tho resources of that vast pralrlo country, which during tho past year has again proven Its ability to pro duco excellent yields of whoat, oats and barloy and flax.
