Her face was very orrowful , and her manner sympathetic. Wo said only a few words to one another , but I went away with the impression that ker heart was still with me. At dinner , lnik announced his intention f paying a visit to Kiehard Foster. "You are not lit to deal with the fel la w , " he said ; "you may be uharp enough pen your own black sheep in Cttieiu.sey , but you know nothing of the breed here. Now if I see him 1 will hjuee.e ( out of Jhltn every mortal thing he knows about Olivia. " Jack returned , his face kindled with xcitcmcut. lie naught my hand , and grasped it heartily. "I no mort bolide she Is dead than I sin , " were his lirst words. "You reeol > lcct me telling jou of a drunken brawl hi a street off the Strand , where a fel low , us drunk as a lord , was for claim ing a pretty girl as his wife ; only 1 had followed her out of llidley's agency of fice , ill id was just in time to protect hci from him. A girl I could have fallen in fcvo with myself. You recollect ? " " \ts , yes , " 1 said , almost breathless "Ho was thu man , and Olivia was the girl ! ' ' exclaimed Jack. "No ! " I crlel. "Yes !

She cave the name of lOllen. Iartineau. Tliost letters about her death are all forgeries , "plivia'h is not , " 1 said ; " 1 know hei bnudwritlng too well. " "Well , then , " observed .Jack , "there is culy one explanation. She bun sent them ier.self to throw Foster elf the ncent ; she thinks she will be safe if he believes her dead. " "No , " I answered hotly , "slio would acvei ; have done such a thing ns that. " "Who elsi ! is benelited by itV" ho ask ed gravely , "it does not put Foster Into possession of any of her property , or thatwould have been a motive for him to do it. Hut he gains nothing by it ; and to is so convinced of her death that'ho las taken a second wife. " "What can I do nowV" I said , speaking loud , though 1 was thinking to myself "Martin , " replied Jack , gravely , "Isn't It wisest to leave the matter as it stands'/ If you find Olivia , what then ? She is as much * separated from you as she can bo by death. So long as Foster lives it is worse than useless to be thinking of her. " "I only wish to satisfy myself that she ts alive , " I answered. "Just think of it , Jack , not to know whether ( die is living or dead ! You must help me to satisfy myself. This mystery would be intolera ble to me. " "You're right , old fellow , " he aald , cor dially ; "we will go to Uldlpy's together to-morrow morning. " Wo were there soon after the doors Krorff onon. The.ru were not many cli ents present , and the clerks were enjoy ing a slack time. Jack had recalled to ils mind the exact date of his former flsit ; and thus the sole diilieulty was vercomo. The clerk found the name of ICIlon Mfirtinonu entereil nmli.r Hint , ! * . , in hts book.

There will be no danger of any one finding her out thcic ; anil you know nho has changed her name alto gether thl t time. " "Pid you discover that Olivia anil Ellen Marlineau are the same persons ? " I ask ed. xajtiTiiiKntfftUMteluiitiKamtvm "SITTING HKSIDH Drills DUIVIOK. ' "No , I did not. " she answered ; "I . thought you were sure of that. " I Hut I was not sure of it : noiih'r could lack bo sure. lie pirnlcd himself in rying to give a satisfactory description ! if Ills Ellen Martiiieau ; rbut every an- wor he gave to my eager questions plunged us into greater uncertainty. He was not sure of the color either of her hair or eyes , anil made blundering guesses at her height. What was I to believii ? It was running too great a risk to make any further inquiries at No. 11) ) Hellriuger street. Mrs. Wilkinson wim the landlady of the lodging house , and she had told Johanna that Madame IVr- rlor boarded with her when she was In London , Hut she might begin to talk to her other lodgers , if her own curiosity were excited ; anil once more my desire to fathom the mystery hauglui : about Olivia might plunge her into fresh dilll- ultlcs , should It reach the ears of Fos ter or hh wife. " 1 must satisfy myself about her safe ty now , " I Raid. "Only put yourself in my place , Jack. How can I rest till I know more about Olivia ? " "I do put myself In your place , " he answered. "What do you say to having a run down to this place In Hasso Nor mandy , and peeing for yourself whether Miss Ellen Martlnoau Is your Olivia ? " "How can I ? " 1 asked , attempting to hang buck from the suggestion. It was n busy time with us. The season was in full roll , and our most aristocratic pn- tlents wore In town. The easterly winds wcro bringing in their usual harvest of bronchitis and diphtheria. If 1 went Jack's hands would bo more than full. Had these things come to perplex us only two months earlier , 1 could have taken a holiday with a clear conscience.

" In this wny It came to pass that two evenings later 1 was crossing the Ohan- nol to Havre , nnd found myself about five o'clock in the afternoon of the next ilny nt Fnlalse. It was the terminus of tlip railway in that direction ; and n very ancient conveyance was In waiting to carry on any travelers who wore venture- sumo enough to explore the regions be- jnnd. I very much preferred sitting beside the driver , a red-faced , smooth-cheeked Norman , habited In a blue blouse , who could crack his long whip with almost the skill of n Parisian omnibus driver. We were friends In n trice , for my pntols was almost Identical with his own. and he could not believe his own oars that he wns talking with an Englishman. The Rim sank below the distnnt horizon zen , with the trees showing clearly against it , and the light of the stars that came out one by ono almost cast aMlcfined shadow upon our path , from the poplar trees standing in long straight rows In the hedges , If * found Olivia nt the end of that star-lit path my gladness In It would be completed. Yet If I found her , what then ? I should see her for a few minutes In the dull salon of a school , per- hap * with nonie1 watchful.spying French woman present. I should limply satisfy myself that slip wns living. There could bo nothing mote between us. I dared not tell her how dear she was to me , or nsk her If she ever thought of me In her loneliness and frlcndlessnosi. I began to sound thu driver , cautiously wheeling about the object of my excur sion into those remote regions. 1 had tramped through Normandy nnd Brit tany three or four times , but theio had ' lioen no Inducement to visit Noircn'u , which icsomblod n Lancashire cotton town , and I had never been there. "Them art- not many English nt Nol- renu ? " I remarked suggestively. "Not one , " he replied "not one at this moment. There wns one little English mnm'zelle pcNte ! a very pretty little English girl , who was voyaging precisely like you , m'fdisur , HOIIIO months ago. There wn a little child with her , nnd the two wore quite nlnno. They nre very in trepid , art- the EngHih mam'zellcs. She did not know a word of our language. Hut that was droll , m'sletir ! A French demoiselle would never voyage like tjint. " The little child puzzled mo. Vet I could not help fancying that thin young Engll hwoman traveling alonp , with no know-lodge of French , must bo my Olivia. At any rate it could bo no other than Mis-s Ellen .Martlncau. "Where wan she going to ? " I asked. "She came to Noircau to be on In structress in an establishment , " answered the driver , in a tone of great enjoyment "an establishment founded by the wife of Monsieur Emllo I'errler , the nvocnt ! Ho ! hoi ho ! how droll that was , m'slcur ! An avocat ! So they believed thnt In England ? Hah ! Emilo I'crrior nn nvo- cait" "Hut what is there to laugh at ? " I ask- od. "Am 1 an avocat ? " ho inquired deris ively , "am 1 , a proprietor ? am I even a cure ? Pardon , m'sieur , but I am just as much nvocnt , proprietor , euro , ns Emllc Porrlor. Ho wns nn Impostor , lie be came bankrupt ; lie and his wife ran away to save themselves ; the establishment was broken up. It was a bubble , m'sieur , and it burst. " My driver clapped his hands together lightly , as though Monsieur Peiricr's bub ble needed very little pressure to dis perse it. "Good heavens ! " I exclaimed , "but whnt became of Oil of the young Eng lish lady , and the child ? " "Ah , m'biour ! " he said , " 1 do not know. I do not live in Noirenii , but I pnss to and fro from Falaiso. She hns not re turned in my omnibus , that is all I know. Hut she could go lo Granvlllo , or to Caen. There are other omnibuses , jou see. Somebody will tell you down there. " It was nearly eleven o'clock before we entered the town ; but 1 learned a few more particulars from the middle-need woman in the omnibus buioau. Slio rec ollected the name of Miss Ellen Mnrti- neau , and her arrival ; and he described her with the accuracy and faithfulness of a woman. If she were not Olivia herself - self she must bo her very counterpart. I started out early the next morning to tiliil the Uue do Grace , where the in scriptlon on my photi graphic \iows of the premises represented them as situated. There were two houses , one standing in the street , the other lying back bey-ond a \ery pleasant garden. A Frenchman was pacing lit ) and down the broad graui | path which connecti < ! them , examining .ritlcally the vine.- , g-o\\MHJ against the walls. Two little ih.ldren wore gnm- boling about in clooiute caps , and with frocks down to theii heels. Upon seeing me he lifted his hat. I returned the sal utation with a politeness as ceremonious as his own. "Monsieur Is an Englishman ? " he said in a doubtful tone. "From the Channel Islands , " I replied. "Ah ! you belong to us , " ho said , "but you are hybrid , half English , half French ; a.lino race. I also have English blood In my veins. " 1 paid monsieur a compliment upon the result of the admixture of blood in his own Instance , and then proceeded to un fold my object In now visiting him. "Ah ! " he snld , "yes , yes , . \oi ; Perrier was nn Impostor. Those houses am mine , monsieur. I live In the front yon der ; my dnughter nnd son-in-law occupy the other. We hnd the photogrnphs tak en for our own pleasure , but Perrier must have bought them from the artist , no doubt. I have a small cottage nt the back of my house ; monsieur ! there it'ls. Pcrrler rented It from me for two hun dred francs a year. I permitted him to pass along this walk , and through our coach house Into n passage which leads to the street whcro mndanie hnd her school. Permit me , nnd I will show it to you. " He led mo through a shed , nnd nlong n dirty , vnultcd passage , into a mean street nt the back. A small , miserable-looking house stood In It , shut up , with broken persiennes covering the windows. My licart sank at the Idea of Olivia living here , in such discomfort and neglect and sordid poverty. "Did yon ever see a young English lady here , monsieur ? " I asked ; "aho ar rived about the beginning of last Novem ber. " "But yes , certainly , monsieur , " he re plied , "n charming English demoiselle ! Ono must have been blind not to obterre her. A sweet face , with hair of gold , but n little more somber. "What height was she , momdenr ? " I inaulrcd. "A just height , " he answered , "not tall like a camel , nor too abort like a mon key. Sht would stand am inda or two aborc jour thouldcr. mowltur. " It could he no other than my Olivia ! She hnd bc n living here , then , In ihta miserable place , only n month ago ; but where could fcho.bc now ? llow was I to flnd nny trace of her ? "I will make some Inquiries from my daughter , " mild the Frenchman ; "when the establishment was broken up 1 wn 111 with the fever , monsieur. Wo have fever often here. Hut she will know I will nsk her. " He returned to mo nfter some time , with the Information that the Engl.s.j demoiselle had boun seen In the hoaspj of a woman who ( fold milk , Mademoiselle Itosallo by name ; and he volunteered to accompany mo to her dwelling , It was n poor-looking house , of ou room only , in the Mime street as the school ; but we found no one there except nn old woman , exceedingly deaf , who told us that Mademoiselle Kosallo was gone somewhere to nurse a relative , who was dangerously 111 , and she knew noth ing of an Englishwoman and n little girl. I turned away bafllcd and discouraged ; btit my new friend was not so quickly depressed. It was impossible , he main- tninod , thnt the English girl nnd the chilil could have left till' town unnoticed. Ho went with me to all the omnibus bu reaus , whcro we made urgent Inquiries concerning the passengers who had quU- ted Noireau during the last month. No places had been taken for Miss Ellen Martineau and the chilil , for there was no such name In any of the books. But at each bureau I was recommended to HOC the drivers upon their return In the evening ; and I was compelled to give up the pursuit for that day. , ( To bu continued. ) SPOILED THE FLIRTATION. I'ony Wan a Itnccr unit Huit to Keep in the Front. A KOiitlomnn who Is a member of the Meadow Brook Hunt Club and dullghts In liorsoback riding received a few days nye u wiry "cayuse" or cow-pony , as they are called In the Northwest. The animal bad some speed and an cany gait , and , after riding It around the country roads a few days , he rode it , one evening , with a party of ladies and gentlemen who were out for. a niooii- Ilght cantor. Tlu < party split up into couples , and while the gentleman in question would much prefer to have taken the rear of the line with the lady whose escort he was , yet the pony developed / unex pected ambition to lead the procession , nccordlng to the New York Mall and Express. He let the "caynse" have its own way only to Hnd that the hedd- strong animal insisted on being at least one-half a length In front of the horse ridden by the lady. There was no holding that pony back on oven terms with the other j horses It pranced about , jumped j I from side to side and pulled the bit and would be ( inlet only when it had Its nose well to the front. The lady en joyed It immensely , but the gentleman well , he left unsaid many things which lie had planned to say to the young lady when they started on the ride. Subsequently the gentleman found the pony had been used for rac ing In the West and had beentrained to "go to the front and stay there , " Wlim-o Centenarians Dwell Moro .people over one hundred years old are found In mild climates than In the higher Altitudes , according to the "Family Doctor.

Jt is simply the expression of irritation that Mielr orders at such a time should be questioned instead of obey ed. In Farragtit's cast- the torpedoes did no harm to the Hartford.

She was so enthusiastic over Lydia E. Piiiklmm's Vegetable Compound , having used it herself , that nothing would satisfy her until I sent for a bottle.
