There wns n touch of tlK -leatfojrlnir
breath of autumn In the keen wind
which swept over Lyndliurst, nn old
colonial mansion on the Hudson near
New York. The big- trees on the ter
raced lnvtn nnd In the dense wood be
hind the house Mere shedding their
Bere nnd yellow folinge, und In the ex
tensive garden on the left of the en
trance not even a belated flower could
be seen In the well-arranged parterres.
Here stood a marble statue, there a
plnylng fountain; the entire aspect was
cold nnd cheerless.
Within the mansion quite a different
scene presented Itself. A footman In
livery stood In the vast hall; white
capped, white-nproned mnid-servunts
moicd about vtith soft trend and so
licitous mien. Klvo o'clock ten nns be
ing served In the quaint Elizabethan
drawing room. A man less than 40
years of age, tall, handsome and with
a military benrlng, reclined in a quaint
ly curved easy chair before the glowing
vood fire with Its old-fashioned brass
fender and drngon-slinpcd andirons.
The man's face was full, dark and
round; his high, broad brow suggested
considerable power of Intellect; he
wore no beard, and his short thick hair
was touched with gray. He had but
one questionable feature; an expert
physiognomist might lime said that it
jwas a pity such a strong face should
be marred by u mouth slightly in
clined towards weakness. Ills wife,
vwho sat near him, was a handsome
woman; she was perhaps ns old as he.
Her complexion was clear and good;
lier teeth were fine and even; between
her parted lips they caught the red
firelight and threw it back broken into
liny gleams. Her hands anil feet were
oniall and well shaped, her body pos
sessed nn undulating tase of inoeini.it
that gratified the visual sense of the
beholder. Her hnir was dark brown,
her eyes black and sharp, nnd these
things, with the general contour of
her shrewd face, hinted at French ex
traction. When the tea wns brought in a young
lady who had been playing a Ileethoen
connta on the grand piano in the large
bow-window turned to another girl of
about her own age who stood by her
ready to depart.
"You really must stop for n cup of
ten, Lottie," Bhe said, laying her jew
eled hand on the arm of the Wsltor.
"I nm sorry, but 1 shall miss my
trnin if I stny even n moment longer;
as It is I shall have to uige your coach
man to drle rapidly."
'Oh, surely jon arc not going, Mibs
Dean," protested Maj. Goddard, rising
nnd coming towards them. "We really
sec so little of v on, you know, und when
ou do honor us it is generally only to
the extent of n pop call. I nm really
going to incite my ward to downright
rebellion against you and all the rest of
her old school friends."
"That Is right, Guardian." The pian
ist smiled as she rose; "you must stand
by me. Lottie has such a nice time In
the city that she is getting above such
a quiet retreat as this."
"Oh, it isn't that," laughed the ac
cused. "1 do enjoy it so much here and
3 am coming to pay you a good lslt
before long. Keully, 1 am looking for
wurd to it with a greut dial of pleas
ure." "Well, until then we shall have a
truce," cried the major, und he escorted
the guest to the door where his car
riage was waiting. Aslierttntered the
drawing room the expression of his
wife's face rheted his attention. Mrs.
Goddard was watching Miss liriscoe,
who had left theplanound was pouring
the ten at the low bints table in the
center of the room. The look she was
phlng his ward was fo full of malig
nant dislike tlint the genial face of the
.major grew grave. He seated himself in
the chair he had just left and eyed his
wife attentively. .lust then Miss Uris
coe brought a cup of tea to him.
"You'll find it exactly right, Guard
ian," she said with u smile. "I not only
hnow the number but I now under
stand the size of the lumps of sugar
jou want."
"It Is always right, lllanche, when
you pour it for me." He would have
added further pleasantries to this
had he not felt the rigid stare of his
wife upon him.
"You have nice manners, I must say,"
Mrs. Goddard suddenly jerked out,
"but I presume you were taught in that
Fifth Avenue school to sere gentle
men beforp ladies."
The beautiful girl flushed to her
-vavy golden hair. ,
"Oh, do pardon me, Mrs. Goddard, I
'tm so forgetful; Guardian looked so
iiredaftcrhis journey to town that I "
"0(i, it doesn't matter in the least,"
and this retort was emphasized by
31rs. Goddard's ribing, pushing past
the girl ond pouring her own tea. Her
face was dark with suppressed rage as
she took her cup to a window-seat be
hind the piano and hnstilj drunk It aft
er the mnniier of angry indhidunis.
"Xcver nilniV" said Maj. (lodthtrd to
Tllauclie, who, with a look of deepening
-inburrasjmient on her face, had taken
a scat near him; "noer mint), It eun't
be helped."
"I wouldn't have displeased her for
the world, on on jour account. If foi
nothing else. I do trv my best to get oi
with her, but somehow I never make
the slightest progress In the right dl
rectlon. I am so awkward,"
Their voices were so low that thej
did not reach the tea-drinker In tht
bow window, but she seemed to know
that she was the subject of the guard
etl col'.oquy, for she glared over her cup
-at them like a sullen, infuriated unt
iiial. "I assure ydu it Is net your fault,
flear," went on Goddard. "tou sec
when I told her the other dny that all
my mining cntureH had fallen through
and that 1 hae now only this estate
and a paltry ten thousand a year to
keep It up on, It completely broke her
to pieces. She counted on my affairs
turning out millions, and I did not
know It before, but she had laid a great
many plans that must now fall to the
ground,"
"Mans?" said the girl, in surprise.
"Yes, she had consulted an architect
about building a house at Newport and
one on Fifth avenue. Oh, it was an aw
ful blow to hcrl I wish she could put
a better face on, the matter and not
take it so very liarrt. As far as I am
concerned, I hail made up my mind
that matters were not so bad, aftcrall,
but she is ambitious, you see, and 1
never was. 1 have grown tired trying
to get rich. I would like to rest, but"
They heard Mrs. Goddard's cup and
saucer rattling as she advanced to the
tea table. Then she turned to the floor
suddenly and her heavy hllk skirts gave
forth a rustling sound as she passed
haughtily out into the hall.
"0, I say, Jeanne I" exclaimed her
husband, rising and going to the (Vjor,
but she had gone nut on the lawn, and
when he came back to the fire he and
his word saw her walking to and fro
on the asphalt drive. A moment later
she turnetk and pnc nn inaiu'lble order
to .lames, the footman, and he came

out to her shortly with a revoherand a
box of cartridges.
GodtVird went to the window and
Blanche followed.
"She's going to practice shooting,"
he said. "When she is full of anger she
seems to find a vent for It in target
practice. Watch her; she certainly
has (he most wonderful marksmunshlp
of any woman alive."
The major could not help this exhi
bition of pride In his wife, and he
seemed to hohl his breath in boyish
expectation as Mrs. Goddard took de
liberate aim at a white envelope which
James had pinned against the trunk of
a tree about 50 feet from where she
stootV
Five reports followed one another in
rapid succession.
"Good! Wonderful!" ejaculated the
major, "she hit It four times out of fle.
I hnve no idea," and as he said t-liii-GodJard's
tone lost a part of It en
thusiasm, "I have no idea where sin
acquired her skill. She always luught
mysteriously when I ask her. It was
while she llicd in the west, howexer, 1
am sure. Often she lets slip little allu
sions to ranch life and hunting on the
plains."
lllanche made no response; then
was u eoiiflt'jiiitlal note in her guardi
an's voice which stronglj appealed tt.
her sympathy. It shocked tier sensi
tive idealistic nature to have him nd
mit that there were pages In his wife's
history which een he had not been al
lowed to rend. They saw Mrs. CJ odd aril
toss the reioher on the grass toward
the attendant and turn Into the house.
A moment later she passed through
the hall and went up the stairway to
her own apartment.
"There Is- one thing I can not quite
forgie in her, dear lllanche." And the
majorcaught the soft tiiperinghnnd of
his ward and led her back to the lire.
"She married me. She must haxe been
influenced to become my wife by the
fortune she knew 1 possessed, She be
trays tlint in a good many ways. She
was ambitious; but persons born with
craving desires are not to blame for
having them, and so I try to overlook
this fault in her. Uelng a poor milliner,
who came In contact with the rich just
far enough to want to have means, it
must haie been n temptation to her to
marry a man with money. I don't say
that she does not love me, for I realW
think she does. I should be cry mis
erable if she did not."
"My poor guardian," said Blanche,
tenderly. "You deserve so much. You
ought to have all things that belong to
good men. I have been very unhappy
ever since you told me of yournnuncial
loss. You said, I think, that my money
was safe?"
"Perfectly. I saw to that. I remem
bered your father's lust words of con
fidence in me nnd I never have taken
the slightest risk with your interests.
Your fortune is ns secure as if it were
in the linnk of England, and the en
tiro amount Is earning a good lute of
interest."
"But I hne no use for so much
money," 'said the girl, almost pleading
ly, "und I would be so glad If you would
take what you need of it."
Tlio mujor flushed. "It would be n
cowardly thing to do, and it would call
forth much t-iitlcism; no, your money
Is yours; your father saw that I was
sufficiently repaitl for my senices, be
sides, nothing less than your entire
fortune would give Jeanne all she
craves. She did not sleep u wink lust
night. I heard her walking- conbtuntly
from "the moment she retired till dawn.
I went to her door twice nnd rapped,
but she would not admit me. Some
times 1 am afraid," nnd the mnjor
touched his broad forehead signifi
cantly. "roor guartllnnl" There was a sug
gestion of tenrs in Blanche's eyes and
her voice quivered. "If you won't let
mo help Jou with my useless money
what can I do? Bo you fancy thls
thls trouble has not made me unhappy,
too? Your face is my barometer. When
it indicates that your spirits are de
pressed my sky becomes clouded, and
then I don't care for anything else. It
used to be so while I was at school.
Your visit on Friday was the solo event
of the week, nnd I studied hard accord
ing to mi- promise, that I might be
worthy of it. I wns so proud of you.
The girls used to wntch for you to drive
up and they nctunlly raved over you.
They all thought you were so hund
somc." But Maj. Goddard was not following
her with ntteutlon.
"I have been wanting all this week to
put a candid question to you, Blanche,"
he remarked, Irrelevantly, "t am n lit
tle afraid you will not fully under
stand my motive, but I do wnnt your
opinion n woman enn judge another
woman's heart better than n man can,
even if he is her husband. I wnnt to
Know, Blanche, If you think Jeanne
cares for mo a little bit?"
The girl could not command her sud
denly roused emotions; she started
and her long lashes fell before his
eager, almost breathless stare. It was
ns If the question had been a shot
which reached thp very citadel of her
most sucrcd convictions,
"Gunrdian.you must not you ought
not " she seemed unable to proceed,
"I know 1 ought to be ashamed of
myself for admitting that 1 have
doubts, but since my loss nnd her
strange reception of the news I can't
help feeling us I do. Oh I lllanche, do
you think she only married me for the
fortune I had?"
"I did not know her then," enld
illauchc, evasholy, her face pale and
rigid. "I am too young to read the
the motives of women older than I am.
I only know, if if"
"If what, Blanche?"
"If I hud lit en your wife I should have
locd you more in misfortune than
ever. Oh, I nm so sorry for yoiil It
is breaking my heart." She raised her
handkerchief to her eyes nnd began to
cry softly.
Goddnrd pushed her head bnck
gently till she wns forced to look into
his eyes.
"Don't do that, little girl," he said,
tenderly, "It breaks me all to pieces to
see u woman's tears, 1 wish the old
dnys could somehow come bnck; those
days when I dreamed of a young trust
ing wife who would love me for myself
and draw me away from evil Inclina
tions. You necr guessed it, little girl,
but " he seemed to rtnllze that he was
going too far, for he broke off short
and after a moment's pause he began
again: "Keer was a man a greater
slave to a woman's whims than I nm to
hers. As much ns I love honesty, honor,
truth nnd upright living, I am afraid
that woman could make me renounce it
all If she wished. To me she is ns pow
erful us opium to Its most ubject slave.
I must do something, Blanche; these
thoughts are maddening."
He touched the bell. "Get out mj
horse," he said to the servant. "I shall
take u ride."
He went out to t-hungc his dress mitl
his wurd sat down bcf6re the fire. She
heiiMil u greut sigh.
"I wonder if she will desert him."
she thought; "It would be just like
her, now that she can no longer use
Mm."
CHATTIlIt II.
Mnj. Goddard spent all the next day
in the cit, busy over tome legal Snut
ters connected with his recent losses.
Ik- missed Ills ui.ii.it train mid was
forced to take one an hour Inter. In
consequence of this delay it was dnrk
when he arrived home. The drawing
room was lighted, and through tin
window he saw lllanche and his pri
vate secretary, Mr. Hubert Talley, nt
the piano, but he did not cuter. All
dny he had been worrying over his
wife's recent moroseuess, und he did
not want to lose a moment before
seeing her. He fancied she must be
In her own upnitmc lit, so he went iij
stairs to her door. It wns closed. Ik
rapped gently,' but received no re
sponse fiom within. He rapped nguiu
but with no better result; then he
tried the latch and found the dooi
locked. For n moment he stood mus
tered by thoughts which both contra
dieted and confirmed each other.
Then he remembered that the door
was the only outlet from the rootn to
the main stairway, and ns there was
no light to be seen through the key
hole he half persuaded himself that
Jeanne had dressed and gone down.
Ho turned quickly Into his own
apartment ncross the hall and turned
on the electric light. Bis first thought
was that he would change his dress
before joining the others, but his Im
patience to see his wife defeated this
idea nnd he hurried downstairs.
He looked into the library, a lnrge,
cozy apartment opposite the drawing
room. A coal Are was burning warm
nnd red in the grnte, but the room
wns empty. Just then the butler.
Wilklns, opened the folding doors nnd
n view of the electric-lighted dlning
Jiall in its vast splendor of whlt
cloth, sliver and cut-glass met Goit
dard's roving eye.
"Has Mrs. Goddard come down?"
the major askttl,
"I did not know she had returned,
sir."
"Returned! from where?"
"From tlio city, sir. She went in
this afternoon."
"To the city! at wnnt time?"
"She caught the 1:10 train;" it wns
Blunt-lie's v.olce behind him, nnd It
contained a note of startled concern.
"She said she would go direct to your
office and return with you."
"I have not seen her; my God! what
can have harrcnad to her?"

Blanche motioned the butler to re
tire, nnd ho did so, discreetly closing
the door.
The mnjor wns deathly pale and his
hands quivered as with palsy. Tor a
moment ho could only stnre Into the
sympathetic eyes of his ward, who
like a shapely pillar of consolation
stood before him.
"Blanche, do you think think she
has gone?" he asked.
"I can't soy, dear, dear guardian. I
hope not. Don't give up."
He seemed to have a sudden Inspira
tion. "Come Into my study," he said.
She followed nnd stood in ttic dnrk
as he fumbled with the electric light
fixture. In n moment the little room
was illuminated. He pointed to a big
iron safe in the corner, and said,
huskily;
"She could not go without means.
She saw me put $5,000 away yester
day. She has always known the com
bination." "Oh, she wouldn't dare to take your
moneyl" exclaimed Blanche.
"She knew I had a deposit In the
bank," he said; "besides, what is mine
Is hers. She knows that."
With trembling fingers he turned
the combination bolt. In n moment
the heavy door wns opened. He drew
out n strong box from one of the com
partments in the safe and raised the
lid.
The money was gone.
"That settles it!" Goddard said
this with more calmness than Blanche
had expected, but It was the calmness
of utter despair. He closed the box
almost with scrupulous exactness,
then shut and locked the door of the
safe. He went back Into the library
nnd stood before the fire, his limp
hands clasped in front of him.
"Tell mo what to do, Blanche," he
said, plaintively. "I cun't give her up.
I simply cannot 1 I have been under
bursting shells nnd whistling lend as
thick as hail and not cared so much as
that" (he snapped Mb fingers), "but
I can't fnce life without her."
A door opened cautiously. Wilklns
put in his bald head, fringed with
gray locks.
"Shall I serve dinner?" he asked.
"Yes, but I shall not v. nit," said his
mnster. "I am going buck to the
city."
Just then there was a ring at the
door. Goddard drew himself up nnd
listened, n light of sudden expecta
tion in his eyes.
"Sign here," n boyish voice snld to
the footman who had opened the door.
"A telegram!" cried the mnjor, nnd
ho went to the door nnd brought it
bnck, tearing it open excitedly.
"Detnlued in town," he read, tri
iimphniitly. "I'erhups you ought to
come to the I'aluee hotel to see me.
Will return in the morning. Jeanne."
"Tlinnk God!" he exclaimed, joy
ously; then his eyes snatched n
thought from the depths of IiIh ward's
threat staring orbs which made him
glum-p towards his study, und she
taw the j'ji'l-s IV1' I" his fnce flick
er us if u strrnf br?(.'e of suspicion
hud blown upon It. "Ah," lie sighed,
"but she intended to go, Blanche; she
Intended to leave mel"
He droppid his hand heavily on the
old-fashioned silver bell on the table.
"My overcoat, and the carriage,
James," was his husky command.
Blanche linked her tapering lingers
over his arm.
"Ilql not before you have eaten your
llnrer. dear guardlnn," she pleaded.
"When yon get to the city she win
have dined and you may be the worse
for t."
He waited till James had left the
room: then he said:
"I could not cat n bite right now if
my life depended on It."
When she had seen him put on his
coat and lenvc the room she ran to the
window und watched the carriage
drive away at the highest speed of the
blooded horses. Then she went into
the dining-room, bowing to Mr. Tal
ley, who stood waiting for her. They
took their plices at the long table, he
on one side, she on the other. He was
a handsome man of perhaps 'St, who
wore no beard nnd hnd the strong
features of u successful actor; his hair
wns thick, moderately long and of a
blackness which went well with his
dark eyes.
"Is the major coming In now?" he
nsked her, deferentially.
".'o, he litis had" to go back to the,
city, Mr. Talley; it was a telegram, I
think."
"Ah!" the young mini seemed un
able to control his surprise, und then
it became evident that ho found much
in her tell-tale face, to coiiflrin Mb
bud-den suspicion tlint all was not go
Ing well with his employer.
'" only wlshtd to nsk his advice
about some correspondence hu direct
ed mc to write." And the secretary's
words contained a polite suggestion of
apology for his Inquiry.
The soup wns brought on by Sarah.

"It doesn't mnttcr," nnswered
Blanche. "Never mind nbout it."
"But Br. Fleming told me to be sure
to sec that you took It before each
meal, miss."
"Well, bring it to mc, Sarah; you
ore a good doctor yourself."
Blanche followed the girl Into the
pantry, nnd when she had taken the
medicine she said: "Mrs. Goddnrd
was detained In town to-night. Mnj.
Goddnrd has gone to meet her: she
will return to-morrow. If the serv
ants Inquire you may explain." Then
she went back to the table nnd she
nnd Tnlley ate their dinner silently.
It wns as If he knew something had
happened to which helind no right to
allude.

Last Friday's Fort Scott Tribune
prints tho following llttlo item which
contains tho germ of a possible very
largo item:
"There is tnlk in railroad circles to
tho effect that tho Memphis road has
somo idea of a lino from Parson to
lola. Tho origin of tho rumor is not
known, but tlio rnllroad men arc roll
ing It under their tongues."
Tlio, Memphis is as oliglblo to mem
bership in lola railroad circles as nny
other road on earth. It 1-. one of tho
north nnd south lines connecting with
Knnsns City on tho north anil tho
Gulf of Mexico on tho south, tho lust
featuro making it a pood route for
spolter and cement both of which aro
duo to bo shipped In ever increasing
quantities to south American ports.
Much of tho spolter produced in Amer
ica now goes to Europe and if the
Memphis comes to lola she will tap
at ono fell swoop tho production of
over half tho output of tho country.
If tho M. K. & T. and tho Memphis
comes to loin, it will be an Interesting
timo indeed.
Deafness Cannot be Cured,
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
Thero is only ono way to curedeafness
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of tho Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed deafness is tho result,
and unless tho Inllamatlon can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forover: nine ouses out of ten
