Slip ftnt with IUP moHt of tin- morning ,
talking with unlimited puwoverniuc , nnd
lit last prevailed uifon mo to take Jier a
wnlk In Hyde Pnrk. , Her pertinacity did
we good in pnltc of the Irritation it
caused me. When her dinner hour wan
t hand I felt bound lo attend her to
her hoitso in I funnier street J and 1 could
not got away from her without first
peaking to Julia. 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 ! " continued .lack , with an afl'ei
tionate lunge at me ; "at any rate 1 cm.
wear he is the man ; and I would bet i
tLoumind lo one that thu girl was Olivia
"Hut win n was itV"-l asked. , '
"SliK'o he married agftin , " he answer
ed ; "they were married on the lid of < ) i
iober , nnd thin was early in November
1 had gone to Hldley's after a place foi
u poor fellow as an ansiHtaiit to a drug
gist , 'and 1 saw tlie girl distinctly. 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

"No. 10 Bcllrlngcr street ! " wo repeated

"Yes , gentlemen , that Is the address , "

"Can you describe the younj lady ? " I
Enquired.
" Yell , no. We hare tuch hontn of

"Do you know where the school is ? "
"No. Mrs. Wilkinson wn the party , "

Jnhnnna put In the next day following
down the rlovv.s Jack and I had discov
ered.
"Well. Mnrlln , " she said that cvonlnsr ,
"you nerd suffer no more nnxlcty. Olivia

thoroughly acquainted with English ways

which we never hoard when I was a girl.
Olivia Is to stay there twelve months , and
In return for her son Ices will take les
sons from any professor * atieudlng ( ho

at oiuo now. "
"Hut where is the place ? " I Inquired.
"Oh ! It Is In Normandy Nolronii , " he
sal -"quite 1 out of the range of railways
an 1 tourNtM. There will be no danger of
any one finding her out thcic ; anil you
know nho has changed her name alto

"Pid you discover that Olivia anil Ellen

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.

you must , for my sake , old fellow. You
nre good for nothing ns long ns you're so
down In the mouth. I shall bo glad to bo
rid of you. "
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. ,

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 , "

In one of the later settlements of
New South Wales a man was put on
trial for stealing a watch. The evidence
had been' very conflicting , and as the
Jury retired the Judge remarked kindly

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
" DEAR MRS. PINKHAM : When life looked brightest to me I
sustained a 'riard fall and internal complications were the result.
I was considerably inflamed , did not feel that I could walk , and lost
my good spirits. I spent money doctoring without any help , when a
relative visited our home. 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. I have thanked
her a hundred times for it since , for it brought blessed health to me
and cured me within seven weeks.
I now wish to thank you , your medicine is a friend to suffering
women. " LILLIE DEGENKOLBE.
