The other servants, too, were not only utterly uncompanionable, but deeply jealous of her, resenting her gentle breeding, her careful speech, her dainty per- sonal ways, her room to herself, her loyalty to her mistress. Sometimes in the cold and darkness of the night-vigils she would remem- ber the man who had helped her, who had promised to be her friend, and had begged her to let him know if she ever needed help. Her hungry heart cried out for sympathy and coun- sel. In her dreams she saw him com- ing to her across interminable plains, hastening with his kindly sympathy, but she always awoke before he reach: ed her. [t was about this time that the firm of Blackwell, Hanover & Dunham had a difficult case to work out which in- volved the gathering of evidence from Chicago and thereabouts, and it was with pleasure that Judge Blackwell ac- cepted the eager proposal from the Junior member of the firm that he should go out and attend to it. As Tryon Dunham entered the sleep- er, and placed his suit-case beside him on the seat, he was reminded of the night when he had taken this train with the girl who had come to occupy a great part of his thoughts in these days. All during the journey he planned a campaign for finding her, until he came to know in his heart that this was the real mission for which he had come to Chicago, although he intended ! to perform the other business thor- oughly and conscientiously. Upon his arrival in Chicago, he in- serted a number of advertisements in the daily papers, having laid various plans by which she might safely com- municate with him without running the risk of detection by her enemy. It M. R. is In Chicago, will she kindly communicate with T. Dunham, General Delivery? Important. Mrs. Bowman's friend has something of importance to say to the lady who dined with her October 8th. Kindly send ad- dress to T. D., Box 7, Inter-Ocean office, “Mary,” let me know where and when I can speak with you about a matter of fmportance. Tryon D., Record-Herald L. | These and others appeared in the different papers, but when he began to get communications from all sorts of poor creatures, every oue demanding ent Marys and M. R.s, he abandoned all hope of personal columns in the | newspapers. Then he began a sys- tematic search for music teachers and musicians, for it seemed to him that this would be her natural way of earn- ing her living, if she was so hard pressed that this was necessary. It was the evening of the third day after his law work was finished that with a sad heart he went toward the hotel where he had been stopping. He was obiliged at last to face the fact that his search had been in vain. He had almost reached the hotel when he met a business acquaintance, who welcomed him warmly, for far and wide among legal men the firm of which Judge Blackwell was the senior member commanded respect. “Well, well!” said the older man. “Is this you, Dunham? I thought you were booked for home two days ago. Suppose you come home to dinner with me. I've a matter I'd like to talk over with you before you leave. 1 shall count this a most fortunate meet- ing if you will.” Just because he caught at any straw to keep him longer in Chicago, Dun- ham accepted the Invitation. Just as the cab door was flung open in front of the handsome house where he was to be a guest, two men passed slowly by, like shadows out of place, and there fioated in his ears one sentence Yolced in broadest Irish: “She goes P never thought of looking for her in a menial position, and at first he had noticed only the likeness to her for whom he was searching. But he watch- ed her furtively, until he became more and more startled with the resem- blance. At last he broke in upon the Smart Coat That May Be Made Up In Black Satin or Other Materials to Suit the Taste. This is an extremely smart coat of black satin; the style is one, however, that may be copied quite well in pop- CONNSTE BT !1in, Shantung or fine cloth, and is “Excuse me, but I wonder if I may ! suitable for day or evening wear.

Just feel perfectly at home.” . Already the young man was hastily writing a line or two on a card he had taken from his pocket, and he handed it to the waitress, who at his question had moved silently behind his chair to do his bidding. “Just call up that number, please, and give the message below.

It came after only a mo- ment’s pause, and he wondered at the calmness with which the usual for- mula of the telephone was carried on He could not hear what she said buf his ears were alert to the pause.vjust long enough for a few words to be written, and then to her footstepé coming quietly back.
