He hurried over to the table, upon
whkh he laid a couple of bank notes,
and tearing a sheet of paper from bis

words:
"Accept this from a friend. Hope
for brighter things In the future—
trust in God."
A movement on the part of Maxette
warned him it was time to be gone—
he only lingered long enough to pin
the money and the note to the table
and then walked hastily down the
stairs.
he watched the soldier saunter smong
the other club members, chatting with
this one and laughing at some sally as
though nothing had occurred to dis-
turb his equanimity.
The Marquis frowned.
He knew this man was absolutely
ruined, and yet his Tictory had been
robbed of half Its sweetness because
he had failed to quench that indomit-
able soldier spirit that refused to
knuckle under at misfortune's call.
That afternoon he attended a garden

Mr. Duval named a price far in ex-
cess of their Intrinsic value, judging
that he must have been blind to their
merits, and was immediately cursing
himself under his breath for not hav-
ing added on a third more, for the
marquis carelessly threw the amount
down.
"This artist pleases me. sir. I
would like to have a dozen family por-
traits done by the same brush. For
each of these I shall pay five pounds to
the artist and your commission of one
pouod. Is that a bargain. M. Duval?"
The dealer snatched at it eagerly.
Consider it settled, then. Now, I
am an expert at this work. It Is evi-
dent to me the artist Is a lady."
"Monsieur is quite correct," bowing
low and rubbing his hands together
with pleasure.
".Very good. There Is no need of
paper between us—a nudum factum Is
quite sufficient. But, my dear Mon-

BOOK THREE.
The Modern Monte Crlsto.
Two weeks more sufficed to make
the Marquis of Montezuma famous In
London. Every day new accounts of
astonishing features connected with
hlc life appeared in the papers.
Naturally the Marquis was the most
nought after man In all London.
Bushels of invitations poured in
upon him over which his secretaries
were busy all day. their labor being
usually a polite note, declining the
honor on account of pressing engage-
ments.
The Marquis accepted a few invita-
tions, and these generally took him
to the clubs, though the season was so
late few notables could be met with
there.
Captain Llvermore had forced the
Hon. Prentice I^angford to keep his
word—he had early made the acquaint-
nee of the American Midas, and they
reached the friendly stage of Inter-
course that is marked by a game be-
tween gentlemen, but somehow, for the
fiist time In his life, the genial cap-
tain found luck run harshly, and, in-
stead of handling some of the wonder-
ful wealth of the nabob, he was strip-
ped of all the ready cash he had at
hand.
Certain of retrieving his fortunes,
ho played time after time. Finally he
staked his all on a last chance. Evil
fortune followed him to the very end-
he was compelled to drink the dregs,
for he had lost.
Then, looking up into the face of his
opponent, he saw a sparkle in the eyes
of the Marquis, a glow of triumph that
gave him a cold chill.
Where had he seen that same look
before? Cudgel his brain as he would,
he could not remember. "I am done
for to-night. Marquis; you have won
all I possess; your luck Is prodigious,"
he said, as he rose.
"Ah! Indeed, you are kind to say so.
captain: hut T assure you it was not
always the case. The demon of mis-
fortune has had his little fling at my
door, even as he now knocks at yours,
but you see I lived through It. and ray
hour has come. Shall we enjoy any
further social play, captain? 1 assure
you. It is a rare pleasure for me to en-
gig in this little pastime with a gen-
tleman of your skill and attain-
ments."
"I hope to see you again If I am able
to scrape any part of my resources to-
gether. If not. Marquis, you can be
satisfied that I am dowu to bed rock.
! never yield while I have a single
weapon left In my hand," he said,
grimly..
"I can well believe that captain "
and returning Llvermore's stiff bow,
smooth-faced young man, an exile from
England five years before.
He had prepared for the meeting,
and not by the quiver of au eyelid
did he betray himself.
Fedora was as lovely and charming
as ever, mors matronly, perhaps, but
showing no sign oi the passage of time.
Several times the Marquis knew his
companion was looking at him intent-
ly. thinking herself unobserved.
Perhaps some faint memory was
struggling for existence In her mind,
some floating straw at which she
clutched in vain.
Sooner or later doubtless she would
awaken to the discovery of his iden-
tity, but when that time came the
Marquis believed he would have so
aroused the old passion that must, dur-
ing these years, have lain dormant in
her heart, that she would even give
up a ruined husband, a wretched home,
and flee with him.

CHAPTKK XVI.
From Over the 8ea.
The Marquis of Montezuma bowed
low. His face was as calm and unruf-
fled aft the -summer sky; not even for
an instant did he betray the slightest
emotion, and yet the surprise must
have inwardly staggered him.
The presence of Dona Juanita here,
in England—did It portend disaster to
his long-cherished plans?
As for the haughty daughter of the
dons, she was affable enough, and
smiled while extending a dainty hand
which he was compelled to accept
I^ady Catherwood had scurried away
to look after some necessary details
connected with her duties as hostess,
for one cannot entertain and enjoy
themselves at the same time.
A silence fell upon the two.
The senorlta was looking at her
companion under half-closed lids, and
he awaited what he knew was coming
—awaited it with that calmness natur-
al to security.
"Senor Jack, between you and me,
there is no ueed of this coldness, this
secrecy- Surely you could not believe
me so blind that I did not recognize
you at the first glance." said the girl,
suddenly laying a hand on his arm.
"I realized that and I have been
simply waiting until you might see fit
to speak. You see I admit all you
say—1 am free to confess it," was the
cool reply he made.
"Ah, Senor Jack, you are a sphinx—
I can make nothing of you. Let me
commence upon another tack. You
have declared yourself Incapable of
affection, yet I have known you to
lean upon one man with such confi-
dence that I am sure he occupied a
placo In your heart."
The Marquis showed signs of emo-
tion at last—his wonderful reserve had
been pierced. *
"Yes," he replied, sadly.
"To this day General Barrajo has
not been seen in Gautarica." she con-
tinued.
"Poor Pedro—faithful friend," he
muttered.
"You alone know his fate, Senor
Jack."
"Yes. but all the world shall soon
know it, for I have had its feats of
arms blazoned upon a stone just about
to be sent over. It will be set up In
San Jose Cemetery, where his body
has lain these two years."
"Is it possible—his death then Is a
mystery—it was connected with your
own adventures?"
"True, Senorlta. Together we sought
a treasure, shoulder to shoulder we
met those who would have robbed us
of our prize. We conquered^ but Bar-
rajo fell, bleeding In every vein. Our
written compact gave the survivor all.
His dying wish was that his body
should be removed to consecrated
ground. There he has lain under a
stone marked only 'Don Pedro, who
gave his life in battle for a Friend.'
It shall be so no longer—all Gauta-
rica shall ring with the valor of his
last deed, and crowd to his grave to
do the brave old hero honor."
The Marquis for once had been
thrown off his guard by the revival of
these never-to-be-forgotten scenes, and
as memory again brought the hero-
ism of Barrajo before him his face
lighted up with an enthusiasm It had
not been allowed to disclose, lo, these
many days.
And Dona Juanita. seeing the tran-
sited change, surveyed him with kind-
ling eyes.
"Ah! Senor Jack, such satisfaction
is sweet to the heart of those who
have lcred and been thrown aside. I
sympathize with you. and nothing
would give me greater pleasure than
to be allowed a share In your plans—
to make your interests my own. Per-
haps a woman's wit might help you to
secure a quick and terrible revenge."
"You mean well. Dona Juanita; I
thank you for tfce interest shown In
rav welfare, but vhatever my plan*
GET UNSOPHISTICATED LILK.
I.acteal Fluid Served in Loudoa on Hun-
day of Superior Quality.
"Unsophisticated milk" was delivered
at many residences In London yester-
day. This is a new term, coined after
hard labor by a puzzled borough medi-
cal officer to describe the inner work-
ings of a milk dealer's conscience and
his occasional lapses into virtue. "So-
phisticated milk ' is that judicious com-
bination of lacteal fluid with water of
chemicals, or l>otb, made with such
regularity after the products of the
country dairies have been delivered in
London each morning.
Every housewife knows, to her sor-
row, what "the sophistication of milk"
mqans. The thin, watery fluid so often
misnamed milk" has started more
than one deadly feud between the man
who drives the cart and the woman
who pays the bills. But, strange to
say. there is little or no dilution of
milk on Sundays. Whether the indus-
trious dealer bears in mind one of the
ten commandments relating to the Sab-
bath, or whether he is too lazy to add
the usual measure of chalk and water
is undecided.
The fact remains that the long-suf-
fering customer stands one chance in
seven each week of getting fairly pure
milk. For instance, yesterday week
only 5.4 per cent of the milk sold in
Islington was adulterated, whereas the
week day percentage is 17.2.—London
Express.
I'eople With Odd Nome<.
Parents have much to answer for
who. to display their shallow wit or
gratify a passing whim, condemn their
children to go through life labeled
with absurd patronymics, the butt of
every foolish punster. It seems al-
most Incredible that a man named
Death should have two sons christened
respectively "Jolly" and "Sudden;" yet
this occurred during the last oentury.
And those are not the only punning
names to be found on the registers.
We have Cannon Ball, Dunn Brown.
River Jordan and many others.
The Americans, however, are still
more given than ourselves to puns
compounded of the baptismal name and
the surname. One Robert New, an
American, named his two sons, the
first "Something," the second "Noth-
ing." Price, we find, becomes Sterling
Price; Carrol, Christmas Carrol;
Mixer, Pepper Mixer; Ware, China
Ware; Peel, Lemon Peel; Gentle, Al-
ways Gentle.
Sometimes a punning name is merely
the result of a coincidence. Mr. Cor-
nev Grain pays the pun in his name is
quite unintentional; and so, no doubt,
it was in the case of Dr. Field Flowers

has many cases of improvidence on rec-
ord, and one of the best of them Is
the story of the woman whose husbaud
was in jail and whose family had been
supplied with food and clothing by the
society. To the woman herself they
gave $10, thinking she would know the
wants of her destitute family better
than an outsider. A week after the girt
a deputation of members called at the
squalid home to see the results. They
found no betterment In tne condition
of the home, so one asked:
"Well, Mrs. *4olan, how are you get-
ting along?'
"Fine. Mrs. Nolan said.
"Dlu the clothes fit? And did you
flnd a place for the money?"
"Sure. The clothes fitted fine. and.
d'ye know, they looked to nice that I
had all the children's pictures tuk with
the money you gave me, and I'm going
to have me own taken this week, to
send to the old folks In Ireland.."'—New

A WISCONSIN PAPER ON WESTERN
CANADA.
Saskatoon, Kaikutrhewao, One of the
Favored Dlatrlctfl.
The following clipped from the cor-
respondence columns of the Eau Claire
(Wisconsin) Leader is but one of many
letters of a similar character that
might be published concerning West-
ern Canada, the land of No. 1 hard
wheat and the best cattle on the con-
tinent. It is a simple matter to reach
the lands spoken of, the Canadian Gov-
ernment having agencies established
at St. Paul and Duluth, Minnesota;
Grafton, North Dakota; Watertown,
South Dakota: Omaha, Nebraska;
Kansas City, Missouri; Des Moines,
Iowa; Wausau and Milwaukee, Wis-
consin; Chicago, Illinois; Indianapolis,
Indiana; Sault Ste. Marie and Detroit,
Michigan: Toledo and Columbus, Ohio,
and by writing to or calling upon any
of these agents at these points full in-
formation can be secured.. This Is a
great opportunity to secure a home
free of cost or if you desire to purchase
lands they can be bought now at prices
much lower than will exist in a few
months. But read what the corre-
spondent referred to has to say of one
particular district.
"To the Editor of the Leader—The
rush of the land seekers will be to the
prairie provinces of the Dominion of
Canada. The allurements of a soil that
yields 40 bushels of wheat to the acre
are too great to be resisted and an
Immense migration from this country
may be confidently predicted. People
here laughed at first at the Idea of
any one leaving the United States for
Canada, hut the Dominion authorities
knew they had a good thing and they
stuck to It. Their officials evidently
knew the value of printers' Ink. They
spared no expense in letting the people
of this country know that these lands
were there and that they were exactly
as represented. They did more. They
sent out specimens of the crops raised
and samples of the grain. We have
had them here at four consecutive
street fairs, presided over by one of
their ablest Immigration officers. This
gentleman spared no pains. He ex-
plained the value of the lands and the
richness of the soli from morning to
night to all comers.
"All this told in the long run. Sev-
eral went up from here to spy out the
land and like Caleb, the son of Je-
punneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun,
brought back a good report, and now
some ten families will leave here In a
few weeks for Saskatoon to settle upon
farms there, and others are preparing
to follow. Of course many will appear
shocked at the Idea of any cne leaving
th# stara and stripes for the Union
Jack, but patriotism Is but a nomen-
clature after all, and our experience
has been that In nine hundred and
ninety-nine cases out of a thousand a
man Is the most patriotic where he can
make the most money and do the
most harm to those whom he hates."
Present Pole Star.
The present pole star Is the only
