OCTOBER *-28. iVEiRN^ CHAPTER VIIL A DIFFICULT SITUATION Mrs. Allaire restored to reason, it was like a person that had risen from the dead. The very first question which fell from Molly's lips was how long sho had been out of her mind. "For two months," replied Dr. Brom ley, who was expecting the question. "Two months only!" she murmured. For it seemed to her as if a century had gone by. "Two months!" she continued. "John can't be back yet, for it's only two months since he sailed. Has he been told that our poor little babe—" "Mr. Holiister has written him," an swered Dr. Bromley, interrupting her. "And have they heard from the Dread naught?" She was told that Capt. John was to write from Singapore, 'but that tho letter had not yet arrived. But anyway, according to the maritime reports, the Dreadnaught ought to reach the Indies very soon, and that they were now look ing forward for a cablegram to that ef fect. Then came an inquiry as to the absence of Kate Barker, to which the doctor replied that Mr. and Mrs. Barker were out of town and it was not known exactly when they would be back. To Andrew Holiister was assigned the difficult task of informing Mrs. Allaire of the loss of the Dreadnaught, but it was agreed that he should wait until her mind had become strong enough to bear the blow. For the next ensuing fortnight Mrs. Allaire was not permitted to hold any intercourse with the outside world. Above all, were they in her presence to avoid every al lusion to the past, every word or ex pression which might lead her to dis cover that four years had elapsed since the death of her child, since Capt. John had sailed away. For awhile, anyway, it was necessary that for her the year 1579 should be 1875. It was quite natural that Molly should feel a longing, mingled with impatience, to receive John's first letter. As the Dreadnaught was upon the point of reaching Calcutta—if she was not al ready there—the captain's wife was con stantly expecting to hear that Holiister & Co. had a cablegram to that effect. Then the eastern mail would soon ar rive and she, the moment her strength would permit, would write to John. Alas, how could she bring herself to tell him what had happened, and that, too, in the very first letter which she had written to him since their mar riage, as they had never been separated before the sailing of the Dreadnaught. Ah, yes, this first letter would be a ter ribly sad one! Mrs. Allaire's condition, mental and physical, continued to improve rapidly. It would soon be time for Andrew Hol iister to act. Molly now began a letter to John. She could no longer keep from talking to him of their child which he was never again to set eyes upon. She poured out all her sorrow in a letter to her husband, a letter which he was never to receive. Mr. Holiister took this letter, promis ing to put it with his own mail for the Indies, and when this had been done, Mrs. Allaire became somewhat calmer, living now only in the anticipation of a speedy arrival of tidings, direct or in direct, of the good ship Dreadnaught. However, this condition of affairs could not last. Sooner or later, possi bly through their abundance of cau tion, Molly would learu what they were concealing from her. The more she .gave herself up to the thought that she would soon re ceive a letter from John, that every day that went by shortened just so much his absence from her, the more terrible would be the fatal blow. A conversation which Molly and Mr. Hol iister had on June 20 only served to con firm this opinion. For the first time Molly had walked out into the little garden, and there Mr. Holiister found her seated on a bench in front of the cottage steps. He sat down beside her and taking her hands in his pressed them affectionately. Mrs. Allaire's strength had returned rapidly of late. Her old-time deep rich coloring had shown itself onoe more, although her eyes were often wetted with tears. "I see that you are getting well fast, my dear Molly," said Holiister; "you are really doing finely." "Yes, Mr. Holiister," replied Molly, "but, oh, it seems to me that I have grown terribly old in these two months! My poor John will find me greatly changed. And then there will be no ono but me to receive him—no one but me." "Courage, my dear Molly, courage. You mustn't give way in this manner, you know; you're my daughter now and you must obey me." "Dear Mr. Holiister!" "Ah, that's something like!" "You have sent the letter which I wrote John, haven't you?" asked Molly. "Certainly! and you must wait a re ply with patience. The India mails are often delayed. There, Molly, you are crying again; now please stop!" "How can I, Mr. Holiister, when I think of everything? And was I not the cause of it, too?" "No, no, poor little mother, no! God hath chastened you severely, but he will put an end to your sorrowl" "God!" murmured Molly, "God will bring hack my John to me!" "Have you had a visit from Dr. Bromley to-day, Molly?" asked Holiis ter. "Yes, and he seemed satisfied with the progress I was making. My strength is increasing. I shall soon be able to go out." "Not until he gives his permission, Molly!" "Of course not, Mr. Holiister. I promise you not to do anything rash." "And I rely on your promise!" "You have received no news of the Dreadnaught yet, Mr. Holiister?" "No, but it doesn't surprise me, for it's a long voyage from here to the Indies." "John may have written from Singa pore. Didn't he touch there?" "He was to do so, Molly, but if he missed the mail even by a few hours it would occasion a delay of a fortnight." "Then you are not the least bit sur prised at not having received a letter from John up to this time?" "Not the least!" answered Andrew Holiister, to whom the conversation was becoming very embarrassing. "And there is no report in the mari time journals of his having been spoken?" "No, not since he fell in with the Fly ing Cloud —about—" "Two months ago," interrupted Mol ly. "And oh, why did those two ves sels fall in with each other? Had they not done so, I would not have gone on board the Flying Cloud, and my baby—" A change came over Mrs. Allaire's face, and the tears burst forth. "Molly, my dear Molly," pleaded Mr. Hollister, "doa't weep. I beg of you don't weep." "Ah, Mr. Holiister, I don't know— but a presentiment comes over me at times. It's very strange. It seems as if a new misfortune —oh, I'm so worried about John!" "Yon shouldn't be, Molly. There is no reason for it!" "Mr. Holiister, couldn't you send me some of the shipping journals in which there are marine reports; I would like to read—" "Certainly, my dear Molly, I'll do so. However, if there were anything con cerning the Dreadnaught, either that she had been spoken at sea or had safe ly reached tho Indies I would be the first to know it'and I would at once —" But it now became necessary to change the conversation. In the end Mrs. Allaire might have noticed a cer tain hesitation in the replies made by Mr. Holiister,whose eyes could not bear unflinchingly the steady honest look fixed upon them. The merchant was upon the point of broaching the subject of Edward Manson's death and the large fortune which he had left" his niece, when Molly put this questioh: "They tell mo that Kate and her hus band have gone traveling. Ilavo they been gone long?" "No, two or three weeks." "And they'll be back soon, I sup pose." "I can't say," answered Andrew Hol iister. "We have not heard from them." "Isn't it known where they went?" "No, my dear Molly. Lew Barker was engaged in some important schemes of a very speculative nature. It may have been necessary for him to make a long trip, very long." "And Kate?" "Mrs. Barker was no doubt obliged to accompany her husband. I can't give you the facts of the case." "Poor Kate," said Mrs. Allaire, "I'm very fond of her and I shall be very glad to see her again. She is the only relative I have now." It was evident that Molly had quite forgotten Edward Manson, and the re lationship which existed between him and her. "How comes it that Kate has never written to me?" she asked. "My dear Molly, you were a very sick woman at the time Mr. and Mrs. Bar ker left San Diego—" "That's so, Mr. Holiister, and what was the use of writing when the letter would be a blank to the one receiving it? Dear Kate, she is to be pitied! Life must have been hard for her. I've always dreaded that Lew Barker would become involved in some crooked trans action. Maybe John thought so, too." "And yet," replied Holiister, "no one was expecting such an unfortunate ter mination —" "Then it was the failure of one of his schemes that forced Lew Barker to leave San Diego?" asked Molly, with her gaze riveted upon Holiister, whose constraint was only too evident. "Mr. Holiister," she added, "speak; don't con ceal anything from me. I want to know aU." "Well, Molly, I don't want to conceal from you an unfortunate affair which will be sure to reach your ears. Yes, Barker's matters have of late been go ing from bad to worse. He could not meet his engagements, demands were made upon him, and, with arrest star ing him in the face, there was nothing left him but flight." "And Kate went with him?" "No doubt he forced her to do so. You know she has no will as against his." "Poor Kate! Poor Kate!" murmured Mrs. Allaire. "How I pity her! Oh, if 1 had only been in a position to help her!" "You could have done so," said Hol iister. "Yes, you could have saved Lew Barker, not for himself, for he has no claim upon your sympathy, but for his wife's sake." "Yes, and I'm sure John would have approved of the use to which I would have thus put our modest little for tune." Andrew Holiister took good care not to add that Mrs. Allaire's property had been wasted by Lew Barker. It would have been a confession that he had had some legal control over it, and she might have asked how it was possible for so many things to happen in the brief space of two months. Therefore, Mr. Holiister merely replied, with a smile: "Don't speak of your modest little fortune, my dear Molly. It is no longer such." "What do you mean, Mr. Holiister?" she asked. "I mean that you are a rich woman— a very rich woman." "I?" "Your Uncle Edward Manson is dead!" "Dead? Why, how long has he been dead?" "Since—" Holiister came near betraying him self by giving the exact date of Man son's death, then two years back, and this would have revealed the whole truth. But Molly was completely absorbed with the thought that the death of her uncle and the disappear ance of her cousin left her entirely without any relatives. And when she realized that by the death of this rela tive who really existed only in name for her, and who both she and John ex pected would live to a green old age, bhe was now seized in her own right of a fortune of two millions, there arose in her mind a deep and profound regret that she should have missed the occa sion of putting some of this money to a good use. "Yes, Mr. Holiister, I would have helped poor Kate. I would have saved her from shame and ruin. Where is she? Where can she have gone? What is going to become of her?" Mr. Holiister was obliged to admit that all attempts to ascertain the whereabouts of Barker had failed. Had he taken refuge in some one of the dis tant territories of the United States or had he not left America entirely? It was all mere guess work. "And yet if it's only a few weeks since he and Kate disappeared from San Diego," said Mrs. Allaire, "possibly we shall hear—" "Yes, only a few weeks," Mr. Holiis ter made haste to reply. Fortunately another thought now took complete possession of Molly's mind. It was this: Thanks to this fortune willed to her by Edward Man son, there would be no necessity of John following the sea any longer. She would never again be left alone! This voyage on the Dreadnaught for the ac count of Holiister & Co., would be the last one that he would make. And was it not to be the last, since Capt. John was never to come back from It again? "Oh, Mr. Ilollistcr," cried Molly, "now John will not be obliged to go to sea again. We shall be together—al ways together —nothing shall separate us again." And to think that this hap piness was to be shattered by a word — a word which must needs soon bo spoken. Andrew Hoi lister felt himself quite unmanned. He made haste to end the interview; but before taking leave of Mrs. Allaire he exacted a pr m ise from her that she would do nothing rash, that she would not leave the house, that she would not resume her former way of living until the doctor had given his permission. On his part he assured her that if he should receive any news from the Dreadnaught, either direct or indirect, he would immediate ly communicate with her. When Holiister repeated this conver sation to Dr. Bromley, the latter open ly expressed his fears that Mrs. Allaire might accidentally learn the terrible truth that she had been robbed of her reason for four years, that for four years no tidings had come from the Dreadnaught and that she would never see her husband again! Yes, it was far better that either Andrew Holiister or he should in the most tender manner possible inform Molly of the real state of affairs. It was therefore decided that after the lapse of another week, when there could be no more reasonable excuse for keeping Mrs. Allaire indoors, she should be informed of everything. "And may Heaven give her strength to stand up under the blow!" exclaimed Andrew Holiister. During the last week of June, Mrs. Allaire's life at Prospect cottage took on very much the aspect of other days. Thanks to the skill and intelligence of those in charge of her, her mind in creased in strength with her body. Hence Mr. Holiister found himself more and more embarrassed when Molly pressed him with questions which hi? oad been forbidden to answer. On the afternoon of the 23d, he wvnt to see her for the purpose of placing a •ertain sum of money to her credit, and of giving her a statement of her proper ty which, in the shape of stocks and bonds, had been put in charge of one of the safe deposit companies. During this Interview Mrs. Allaire took very little Interest in the subject of conversation. She hardly listened to what he was saying. Her every word was John. Her thoughts were all with him. What! no letter yet? She was greatly worried. How was it that the firm had not even received a cablegram Announcing the arrival of the Dread naught in the Indies? The shipping merchant strove to calm her by saying that he had just tele graphed to Calcutta, and that he might have a reply any dr»y. However, if he succeeded in turning her thoughts out of this channel she threw him into a fit of agitation by crying out: "Mr. Holiister, there's a man that I haven't spoken of as yet —the one who saved me and made such effort* to uft my child—that sailor —" "That sailox ?" stammered Holiister. "Yes, that brave man to whom I owe my life. Has he been rewarded?" "He has, Molly." And this was a fact. 11 had been done. "Is he in San Diego, Mr. Holiister?" "No, my dear Molly, no. I was told that he had gone to sea again." And this also was true. After he had given up work in the harbor this man had shipped on several vessels and was at that time away on a voyage. "But, anyway, you can tell mo what his name is?" asked Mrs. Allaire. "His name is Zach French." "Zach French? Oh, thanks, Mr. Hol lister." And apparently, now that she had learned the man's name, she dis missed him from her thoughts. But in fact from that day Zach French was never out of Molly's mind. From that moment it became impossible for her to disassociate him from the catastrophe which had been enacted in the bay. She resolved to find Zach French when he returned to port—he had only been gone a few weeks. She would learn on which vessel he had shipped. No doubt it was one whose home port was San Diego. His ship would be back in six months—or a year, and then—^by that time, too, Dread naught would be home again, and John and she would take delight in reward ing Zach French, in paying this debt of gratitude. Yes. John must now soon bring the Dreadnaught into port and then he would resign command of her, they would part from each other. "And, oh," murmured Molly, "why is it necessary that our kisses and our tears should be mingled on that day'" (TO BE CONTINUED.) No Evidence.

ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE STAY AT HOMES WILL REST THE RESULT Ten States voter? remaining at home , n t:< n day w< »old change the result. There are states ID which a change ■f a few hlls would allow th# opp>*ing tiartv to carry the n r those states, and ; • rhap« change the . tire result of the presidential elect; n. What a Change In Administration Would Do. This is a matter of such vital imj»>r tance that the voter* of the country can not giTe it too much th 'ight. A change in the administration. it is conceded, means a general chance in the policy of this government. The chance* are ninety-nine out of IW* that if the - crats suci • • i in electing their president they will by the same stroke obtain a majority m the hou and - nte ms well as control of the pr -idmtial chair That has not happened l»for>> for over thirty years. When the Republicans got into power iu IHSO th- y changed the general policy of the _ .r eminent from a low tariff t >tke pr. tectiv ■ tariff. Itis not necessary in this connection to p. into the details <>f the wonderful pros perity which h;.* followed. Everybody conversant with the history of the country mnst realize that the prosper ous condition of the pe> pic of the gov ernment of the country generally is so patent that nob- iy t» of a Democratic president, a Democratic house and a Democratic senate would mean a reversal of the tariff conditions under which this wonderfnl pr .-perity has come. Your Nfßlffl € lmngc *hr lirtnlt. Every voter of the country who does not want to s« e this iplendid conditv :i of our country d. -'roved— a condition which every t... : n of the world ha.- recognized rs ot e cf saperior results — ought to rv< < -Mje fact that on his vote and the vote of h: j neighbor ma-' depend the question of a < bangs in the administrate j or no change in the ad ministration. in the state of Connccti cut in the last presvletitial election the Democratic plurality was 2.216 votes. In the state of N< vada the marten of plurality was only 1,615 votes. In In diaua the Republican plurality was only 3,348 votes. Out of r.n enormous num ber of votes cast in West Virginia the plurality was but •>'-») votes. In a num ber of other states the plurality was l>nt a few thousand. Iu many of the states a change of 1 or 2 per cent, from one side to the other would have changed the result. In some of the states the neglect of less than 1 per cent, of the Republican voters to go to the polls would change the result. This brings us to a jioint which is very important for every voter to remember. Farmers and lVnrlinsmfn should Be lore to Vote. In nearly every one of the close states the Australian ballot or something pat terned upon that has been adopted since the last presidential election. The ex perience which has accompanied the use of this system in the state elections has shown in nearly every case a falling off of the farmer vote. The farmer does not like the Australian ballot. He looks upon it as a device of the city schemers and as a troublesome, uncomfortable method which his fathers did not use. and which he thinks he should not l«e compelled to use; the resnlt is that it has kept thousands and thousands of fanners away from the polls. Not only this.'but the workingmen do not like to be compelled to call njioii others to help them out in unraveling its mysteries The honest farmers and the houe-t workingmen form a very large dement of the Republican party. Hence a Fal lot system which is not acceptable to them, and which results in many of them staying away from the polls, naturally rednces the Republican \ tc. The exi»erieuce in all elections in whi-\i the Australian ballot or anything like it has Iteen tried shows a falling off in the Republican vote. This is accounted for by the fact already indicated that the honest farmers and workingmen of the country do not turnout and vote un der this new fangled arrangement as they did before. If the honest farn.ers and honest workingmen in the Repu!>- lican party are not careful to do their full duty this time—regardless of the fact that they do not like this new fangled way of voting—they are liable to wake up on the lilorning after the election and find that their state haa gone the wrong way; that by staying away from the polls they have causc l that change.
