"Elijah, do you know bow these
arrow heads came here?"
"Greived thar," said the native,
with great positiveness.
"Nonsense! If you were to take
an arrow head and put it on your

LOVE'S EXILE.
tici,44441414:044444444444.
I looked oth of one of the eastern
window's at the red sun -glow, in
which I took more pleasure then the
Londoners, perhaps, because I constd-
erect it a part of my Highland pro-
perty. To the left, standing in the
long, wet grass, shyly hiding herself
among the trees, was Babble;
went to another window from which
I could see her more plainly, and die -
covered that her little fano was
mugs paler than usual, that she
was watching 'UM portico with
/draining eyes; in her hand, but held
behind her, Was a red rose, that ehs
drew out, from time to time, and
even kissed, I think she was crying.
It Was half-paet six o'clock. I turned
away and went back to my friends,
who were already deep in a gigan-
tic breakfast. From time to' time I
trent back, on some pretext or other,
to the window; she was always
there; in the same place. The fourth
time I looked out she was shivering;
and her hands, red With the cold of
the morning, were tucked up to her
throat, red tome and all. I went up
to Fabian, who I am sure must have
been at quite his third chop, and
touithed him on the shoulder.
"There's scene one welting outside
-waiting for you, I think," said I,
in a low voice, under cover of the
rich full term of may friend Fused!,
who was waxing warm in the elo-
quence of his farewell to Scotch
ereakfaeta
Fabian got up at once and went
out. I saw the child start forward,
crimson in a moment, and the tears
flowing undisguisedly ; and with a
choking feeling at ray throat I turned
away.
"Hallo, why yousre not eating,
Harry," ruled Maurice presently.
"You must be in love."
"Another of 'eine" groaned Fussell.
"No," said I hastily. "Tee fact is
I bad something to eat before you
came down.
There was a roar at my voracity,
hue their own appetites were too
vigorous for them to diebelieve me.
I remember clearly only this of our
final deportees for the station; that
Fabian turned up late, dashing after
.nu delve the drive in fact, and leap-
ing up on the Norfolk cart beside me-
Aud that his eyes were dry, but that
the front of his coat, Jost below the
collar was wet -perhaps with the
clew. Nevertheless, if Edgar had not
been behind us, I should have felt
ntuch inclined when we drove along
the road by the Dee, just where the
bank Is nice and steep, to give a jerk
of the relies to the left, pitch me
artistic friend out into the river's
stony bed, and take my risk of
following him.
CHAPTER XVI.
Life seemed 'to move in a some-
what slow and stagnant manner for
several days after the departure of
my guests. I scarcely saw Babble,
and never spoke to her, a great
shyness towards each other having
taken possession of both of us. Mrs.
Elimer, upon whom I made a cere.
monious call when X could contain
my anxious interest no longer, was
stiff in manner, haughty and 'im-
pressed. She had evidently been in-
formed of my opposition to Fabian's
tntention of extending les stay, and
I soon learnt, to my great 'surprise,
that she considered me responsible
for the destruction of Babble's first
ehance-"and the only one she is
likely to have, poor child, living poked
up here," of "settling well.'
"Oh, said I, raising my eyebrows,
and putting into that one exclama-
tion tie much sardonic emphasis as I
could, while I kept my oyez fixed up-
on the can and my hands much occu-
pied with nay deerstalker, "and usay
I be permitted to learn nowt I have
done thee?" .
"It is ,ueeless to pet on, a satirical
manner with me, Mr. Maude," said
the lady with dignity, "I am per-
fectly aware that it was you who
objected to Mr. Scott's remaining
here long enough to make proposals
for my daughter, and that, in fact,
youi interfered in the most marked
Way with his courtship of her."
"And are you, ignorant of the fact,
madam, that to interfere with a
melee courtship is the very, way to
Increase its warmth, and that If my
interference, as you call it, could not
screw him up to the point of pro-
posing, nothing over would ?"
Mrs. Eilmor dropped into her lap
thei work whiter she had snatelied tip
on my entrance, and at which she
had been stitching away ever since,
as a hint that she Was Irrey and
Would be glad to be left alone; at
the same time being, I think, not
Sorry to vent bier ill -humor on some
One.
"You arc using very extraordinary,
exprergions, Mr. Maude," she Bahl
!sniffle- "If her mother was satisfied
With the gentleman's behavior, I
really don't see what business you
had in the affair at all."
"Do you forget that her father has
Made me responsible for the care of
her ; tint she is certainly under my
guartiranehip and nominally engaged
to me."
"Nominally ! There Ills. 'To be en-
gaged to a man who acknowledges
that he never means to marry you I
There's a pretty position for it girl,
as I've said to Babiole scores of
times I" I
My heart leaped up.
"'You've said that to Babble I" I
eehogl, in a tolee of suppressed rage
that brought the lithe slender virago
at once to rearson.
"Well, Mr. Maude, with all respect
to eon, tee position is something
like that," t lt,s sal I more reasonable.
"It IS not at all eke that," I en-
treated in my gravest and most mag-
isterial tomer. "If your dattgitter

a ghastly incongruity about a mar-
riage of that 'sort that I Could
scarcely even wish her to do so."
Mrs. Ellmer's eyes had begun to
glow with the carefully but scarce-
ly successful eubdued interest of the
match -making mamma. This, how-
ever, gave place to unsay disa.p-
pointinene ao I 'went on -
"All tile same I take an in-
terest in your daughter's itappie

a more aelfielf one, It was that In-
terest welch prompted me to pre-
vent the prolonging of a flirtation
which might have eerlours conse-
queaces for your seneitive and im-
pressionable little daughter." •
"Serlows consequences 1" stang
mores] Mrs. Elineer. "Do you mean to
say that Mr. Scott, your friend, is a
dishienoraltie man?"
"No," said I, "I would not say any-
thing so severe as that. But I am
certainly of opinion that Mr. Scott
had no more serious intention than to
fill up his time here pleasantly by
talks and walks with a pretty and
charming girl. Lots of pretty and
charmieg girls accept such tempo-
rary devotion for what it is worth, •
and their regrets, when the amuse- ,
ment Is over, are proportionately
"light. But I know that Babble is not
like that, and so I did all that my
Melted powers of guardianship could
do to lessen the danger."
, "But he may still write and pro-
-pose," murmured the dismayed
mother. "Even if his intentions were
not serious while he was here, he
may find he cannot get on without

'I con't then{ it's likely," I mid
drily; and questloaln,g my face with

tried another trivet.
"After all, Mr. Maude, it may have ,

conciliatory toile. "It Wad 1, rather

right moment—" . •
interrupted her by standing up
suddenly, and 1 can only hope my
face did not express what I thought
of her anti her miserable diplomacy.
"You will oblige time by saying not
one word to your daughter oit the
subject of me and my impossible pre-
tensions," I said aothoritatively,
but With a sickening know-
ledge that my demand would
be illeregarned. "I am sensitive
and humble encesgh on the score of
my disadvantages, I admit. But 1

own accord, andshow, as an inno-
cent girl can, that I have done
her an honor in loving her which
she is booed to pay back by loving
me with all her might."
And much excited by my own un-
expected burst of unreserve, but
somewhat ashamed of having ra-
ther bullied a poor creature who,
however she might enema the high
hand with me, was after all but an
unprotected and plucky little wo-
Man, I held out my 'hand with apol-
ogetic sueekeess and prepared to
go. Mrs. Milner shook my hand
limply and showed it disposition to
whimper.

This tuggestioe diverted the little
womana tears, and her face softened
with a kindly impulse towards me.
'You are very good, eta Maude, you,
really are,' she said la farewell, as
left her.

artion in the old study, though they

From which I gathered that Mrs.
Ellmer had blabbed out the whole
substance of our interview, and col-
ored it according to her lights, so I
ventured:
"Didn't you feel at all angry with
Me for something I said -something
I did?"
A pause. I could see notiting of her
face, for she was most intent upon
making a beautifully straight part-
ing with my ink -stained red Ivory

"I had no right to 1313 angry," she
gild at last, he a quivering voice,
"anti besides -I a.m afraid -that

And the tears began to fall upon
her busy fingers. I put may hand very
gently upon her brown hair and
contd feel the thrill eent through her
tviviele frame by It valiant struggle
to repress anotutburst of grief.
"You are afraid thee that--" And
I waited.
"That he will never think of me
again," she sobbed; and .unable any
longer to repress her feelings, she
Sat at my feee for some minutes
quietly crying.
I hoped -that the distress which
could find thie childlike outlet -would
be only a tranelent one, and I
thought It beet for her to let her
tears float* unrestrainedly, as I Was
sure she had no chance of doing
tinder the sharp. maternal eyes. I
continued to smooth her hair sytn-
terethetioally nail by n great ef-
fort she conquered herself and dried
her eyes.
"I am. a great baby," she said in-
dignantly; "as if I could hope that
a very clever accomplished man,

would be able to remember an ignor-
ant girl like me, when onte be had

"Well and you mutt pull yourself

The site of the lost Indian city,

haling 20,000 inhabitants in 1675,
has been determined by the labors
of Thomas Clithero, of Portage,
now extended over Many years. It
was the largest city in all Indian
history, so far as United States ter-
ritory is concerned, and the descrip-
tions of the aerial -to in the course
of the seventeenth century, cloetng
with afaequette and Jolla in 1678, are
said to have been verified.
DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deathees is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When tide tube is in-
flamed you have a rtunbfing sound or Impel. -

Deafness is the result, and unless the Milani -
motion can betaken out and thisduberestor-

destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

"The most remarkable ease of klep-
tomania that ever came to my no-
tice, and one that melee very near
being my ruin," mid, a, detective the
other day, "oceurred several years
ago. I was then employed in a
large department store Washing-
ton. One deta during the winter bol-
iday season a well-dressed woman
entered the store carrying a muff
and umbrella. As she passed by the
leather goods departmene I saw her
skilfully "swipe' a, pocketbook from
• number that wore on display, She
placed the pocket -book in her muff.
I followed her to the elevator and
on up to the third floor. On the way
up she discovered that I was 10 -t-
hawing !ter and when she left the
elevator she managed, -without my
seeing ben, to place the pocketbook
teat she had stolen between; :two
boxes on the doll counter. This, how-
ever, I failed to notice, and when
gm came downstairs I told the pro-
prietor in bier hearing that she had
stolen; a pocketbook.
"Mee proprietor looked at me hor-
roestrieken, wens the lady, turn
lag aleciat, demanded to know what I
had said. I wee so certain of my
ground that I repeated the ac-
cusation, Whereupon, the proprietor
said to me:
"'Ohm, no, you're mistaken, This
glaudeur
lady and her hus.band are friends
of mine, whom I „entertain Ire -
"I was feeling awful shaky, but
being so 'cocksure that she had the
pocketbook I rtiitt on a bold front
and stuok to my first statement.
Tee lady was terribly indignant and
the proprietor had a regular; case
of trembles. While he was making
ail sorts of apologies, she was read-
ing the riot act to me. She told
me elute I evpulet pay for this dear-
ly;' ga-vs orders to the floor walk-
er to telephone for her husband,
aud insisted on being searched.
"Timings were looking pretty
squally for me, when a thing hap-
pened that changed the complexion
of events very materially. I notic-
ed that she had shifted the posi-
tion bf her hands in her muff sev-
eral times, and that she had alio
placed her umbrella leaning againer
the counter, and thinking that she
might have slipped the pocketbook
down into the latter, 1, without
saying a word, reached over, picked
up the umbrella, and turned it up-
side down. The pocketbook aid not
drop out as I had expected, but,
what was better still, eight pairs
of kid gloves, from which the tags
had never been removed, rolled out
upon the floor. They were not tak-
en from nor did they belong to our
store, but from the tags I recog-
nized them as belonging in an-
other establishment which dealt
in gloves next door.
" X was beginning by this time to
cateli on, and without losing any
time I went for. the proprietor of
the store next door. He came in, !den -
