CHAPTER IX
nrTEI-A-TIOKS.
Mr. Hollister and Dr. Bromley had
b<*on careful to direct the exclusion of
all papers and letters from the cottage.
But Molly was now quite strong enough
to leave the house, aDd although the
doctor had not authorized her to do 80,
might she not leave Prospect cottage
without giving any warning? Hence
it would not do to put off the matter
any longer. All arrangements were
therefore made. Molly would soon be
told that she must never expect to see
Capt. John again. But it seems that
after her interview with Mr. Hollister,
Molly had resolved to leave the house
without the knowledge of the attend
ants, who naturally would have done
everything to dissuade her. Yet, even
if this leaving the house might not be
in any way dangerous, considering the
present state of her health, yet it might
be followed by deplorable results should
she accidentally learn the truth without
being in the least prepared for it. Mrs.
Allaire's intention in leaving Prospect
cottage was to begin action with regard
to Zach French. Since she had learned
his name, but one train of thought had
filled her mind.
"Yes, possibly, they did do something
for him," she said to herself. "They
gave him a little money, but I was not
there to attend to It And now Zach is
away on a cruise, he has been gone five
or six weeks; but no doubt he has a
family, a wife and children, and they
are poor people, you may depend. It's
my duty to go and find them out, to look
after their wants, to make it comfort
able for them. Yes, I must see them. I
must look after them!"
And even if Mrs. Allaire had consulted
Andrew liollister on this subject, how
could he have brought himself to advise
her against this deed of gratitude, this
act of charity?
On the morning of June 31, towards
nine o'clock, Molly left the house with
out anyone seeing her. She was
dressed in mourning for her child,
whose death in her mind dated back
only two short months. She was hur
rying In the direction of the docks when
she conceived the notion of passing in
front of Lew Barker's house. It would
only add a little to the distance.
"Poor Kate!" she murmured.
As she reached the spot where the
Barkers' house had stood, she looked
about her in a half-dazed and bewil
dered manner. It was nowhere to be
seen! An exclamation of surprise es
caped her, and her heart was oppressed
with a vague and indefinable solicitude.
In the place of the narrow, somber
building which she remi: -ed there,
was a large and imposi „ bi ding 1 sev
eral stories in height with * ty grated
windows on the ground f On the
top of the structure there s a lantern
tower from which waved i. g bearing
the initials 11. W. Over the door there
was a sign lettered in gold as follows:
"Harris Waddington A Co."
Molly thought she must be mistaken.
She glanced to the rijjlit and to the left.
No, this was the spot, on the corner of
Fleet street, where she had come to see
Kate Barker. She parsed hor hand over
her eyes. A strange and mysterious
presentiment flashed upon her. tike
was powerless to explain her own feel
ings. The offices of liollister & Co.
were close at hand. A few steps farther
brought them plainly in view. Her
first thought was to go there. But no,
she would stop on her way back, after
she nad had the interview with Zsflfc
French's family. tier intention was to
get the sailor's address at the office of
the steam launches near the landing.
With throbbing heart, bewildered
mind and restless eyes Molly hurried
along She now began to scan the
faces of the people she met, and an al
most Irresistible inclination came over
her to accost some of them, to question,
to ask them—what? They would have
taken her for a lunatic. And in fact
was she quite sure that her reason had
not fled for a second time? Could it be
that there were gaps in her memory?
A few steps farther and Molly had
reached the office of the steam launches,
one of which was just casting off and
heading for Point Loma. Molly fol
lowed it with her eyes, listening to the
steam escaping in puffs from the black
smokestack.
What sad recollections rose in her
mind, recollections of her child, whose
little body the waters had been unwill
ing to surrender. These waters drew
her towards them with a strange fasci
nation. It grew dark before her eyes,
the ground seemed to yield beneath her
feet. A vertigo seized her, she was
upon the point of falling. Making a
great effort she turned and entered the
office.
Upon catching sight of this woman
with the blanched face and contracted
features the man in charge who was
sitting at a table rose quickly and
placed a chair for her.
"Are you ill, madam?" he inquired.
"Oh, no, it's nothing, sir," replied
Molly, "a momentary weakness. I'm
better now."
"Be kind enough to take a seat. It
will be ten minutes before the next boat
leaves."
"Thanks," answered Mrs. Allaire. "I
have only come to ask for some infor-

DATE, MARCH, 1879.
mation. Possibly, you may be ablo to
give it to me."
"In reference to what, madam?"
Molly had sat down and was holding
her hand pressed against her forehead
as if to collect her thoughts.
"You had a sailor in your employ
ment," said Molly, "by the name of
Zach French, did you not, sir?"
"Yes, madam," replied the employe,
"but the man didn't remain very long
with us, however. X knew him very
well."
"Ho was the one, wasn't he, who
risked his life to save a woman, an un
fortunate mother—"
"Yes, yes, I remember it was Mrs.
Allaire—yes, he was the man."
"And he is at sea now?"
"Yes. madam."
"What vessel did he ship on?"
"The three-master Goldea Gate."
"Of San Diego?"
"No, madam; of San Francisco."
"What port did he sail for?"
"Various European ports."
A feeling of exhaustion came over
Molly and she sat in silence for a mo
ment or so, while the employe stood
waiting for her to continue.
"Zach French's home is in San Diego,
j Isn't it?"
"Yes, midana."
"Could you tell me where his family
live?"
I "I've always been told that Zach
French was alone in the world. I don't
think he has any relatives, either in San
Diego or elsewhere."
"Then he was not a married man?"
"No, madam."
There was no reason for doubting the
correctness of the replies made by this
man to whom Zach French was so well
known. So for the present there was
nothing to be done, since the man had
no family, except for Mrs. Allaire to
await the return of the Golden Gate to
America.
"Could you tell me how long Zach
French's voyage will be likely to last?"
asked Molly.
"I could not, madam. The Golden
Gate was chartered for a long cruise."
"I am greatly obliged to you, sir,"
said Mrs. Allaire. "I should have liked
very much to see Zach French, but it
will no doubt be a long while—"
"Yes, madam."
"However, isn't it possible that there
may be news of the Golden Gate in a
few months, a few weeks?"
"News?" repeated the employes. "No
doubt the San Francisco house to which
the vessel belongs has received news
from her several times already."
"Already?"
"Yes, madam."
"Several times?"
As she repeated these words, Mr*.
Allaire had risen and stood looking the
man in the face as if his words had
been unintelligible to her.
"Here, madam," said the employe,
holding out a journal. "Here's a copy
of the Shipping Gazette. It contains
an announcement that the Golden Gate
left Liverpool a week ago."
"A week ago!" murmured Mrs. Al
laire, taking the paper in her trembling
hand. "How long has Zach French
been gone?" she asked In a voice so lit
tle above a whisper that the man could
scarcely catch it.
"About eighteen months."
"Eighteen months?"
Molly was obliged to support herself
by leaning against the walL Her heart
had ceased to beat, and there was a look
of terror in her eyes as they suddenly
fell upon a poster on which was printed
the arrivals and departures of the steam
launches for the summer season. At
the head of this notice stood the date:
March, 1879.
March, 1579! They had deceived her. It
was four years since her child had been
drowned; four years since John had set
sail fnr the Indies. She had therefore
be , i f her mind for these four long
y< '• nd if Mr. Hollister and Dr.
E had allowed her to believe
tluu .- ..0 had only been deranged for
the short space of two months it must
have been for the purpose of conceal
ing the truth about the Dreadnaught—
it must be that for four years they had
no tidings of either Capt. John or his
ship
To the consternation of the employe,
Mrs. Allaire seemed about to succumb
to some sudden ailment; but with a su
perhuman effort she recovered posses
sion of herself, and, dashing out of the
office, hurried along from one street to
another.
Those who met this woman with her
wild eyes and pallid face could not do
otherwise than regard her as an escaped
lunatic.
And if she was not what they thought
her to be would it not be a mere ques
tion of time? Whither was she hurry
ing? It was in the direction of the of
fices of Hollister & Co., where she ar
rived in a few minutes without know
ing how. She crossed the outside office,
flitting by the astonished clerks who
had no chance to detain her, and pushed
open the door of the shipping merchant's
private office.
Andrew Holllster's astonishment at
seeing Mrs. Allaire quickly gave place
to dismay upon glancing at her drawn
features, her deadly paUon
"I know all! I know all!" she ex
claimed, wildly, before he coald find
time to utter a syllables "You have de
ceived me. I've been out of my mind
for four years —"
"My dear Molly—calm yourself —"
"Tell me—about the Dreadnaught—
isn't i* four years since she sailed? "
Andrew Hollister bowed his head.
"You have had no news of her for
four years—for four years?"
The merchant's lips still remained
closed.
"You look upon the Dreadnaught as
lost—and every one on board of her?
And John will never come back to me
again?"
Andrew Hollister's eyes filled with
tears—they were his enly response.
Mrs. Allaire's hands flew to her head,
she reeled and would have fallen had
not the merchant hastened to her side.
He laid her tenderly upon the sofa.
She had lost consciousness. The jani
tor's wife was called in to care for her
and messengers were dispatched in
search of Dr. Bromley.
Upon his arrival Mr. Hollister in a
few words explained the situation to
him. Accidentally or through some
lack of precaution Mrs. Allaire had
learned everything. Whether it had
been at Prospect cottage or in the
streets of San Diego it made little dif
ference. The whole truth was known
to her now. She knew that four years
had gone by since little Walt's death,
that during these four years she had
been out of her mind, and that for four
years no tidings had been received from
the Dreadnaught.
It was only with the greatest difficulty
that I)r. Bromley succeeded in restoring
poor Molly to consciousness, and the
question which he now put to himself
was whether her mind would not be
shattered by this last and most terrible
of blows that had been rained upon it.
When Mrs. Allaire camo to herself,
she did so with a full consciousness of
what had happened. She had come
back to life again with unclouded rear
son. ner eyes were bent Inquiringly
upon Andrew Hollister, who sat by her
side with her hands clasped in his.
"Speak, oh speak, Mr. Hollister—"
she murmured, and then her voice died
away.
The merchant obeyed, speaking slow
ly and tenderly but plainly and firmly,
lie told her of their anxiety con
cerning the Dreadnaught—how letters
and dispatches had been sent to Singa
pore and to the Indies where the ship
had never arrived, ho had been
made all along the course traversed
by Capt. John and how no sign or trace
of the shipwrecked vessel had come to
light " ,
With parted and rigid lips, with a
fixed stare, Mrs. Allaire listened, and
when Andrew Hollister had finished, u
half groan, half sob escaped her, and
then like a wail came the words:
"My child dead —my husband dead —
Oh. why did not Zach French let me
die?"
Then suddenly her face lighted up.
and there was such a wonderful display
of that energy and force of character
natural to the woman that Dr. Bromley
was fairly startled. With a strong and
steady voice she called out:
"Then there has been nothing heard
from the Dreadnaught since yon made
search for her?"
! "Nothing',™ replied Mr. Hollister.
"And you look upon her as lost?"
"Yea—lost!"
"N or not a word from John nor from
any man in his crew?"
'•Not a word, my dear Molly; w« have
(riven up all hope."
"All hope?" she queried in a tone
that seemed almost tinned with irony.
As she had tittered these words, she
had risen from the sofa and stood with
her right hand stretched out towards
the window through which the < x-ean
was visible Mr. Hollister and I)r.
Bromley followed her movements with
a secret droud. fearing that the worst
had come. But Molly's face was not
that of a lunatic. It was lighted up
with a glow of her great souL
"All hope?" she repeated. "You say
you have given np all hope? But, Mr.
Hollister, If you look upon John as lost,
I do not! Without him this fort una
will be but dross in my eyes. I shall
consecrate it to the search of John and
his companions of the Dreadnanght!
And with God's help I shall find them:
yes, I shall find them."

to recommend himself aside from his
riches?"

[Special Correspondence.)
WASHINOTON, Oct. 24.—Information
received here points to certain Republic
an victory. This information indicates
that the people are making a careful
study of the situation and alternatives
offered by the two parties and their
platforms.
Since this is being done there can I*>
little doubt as to the result.
The business men are thinking it over.
A large proportion of them have estab
lished and built up their business under
the present protective system. The aver
age business man of today has estab
lished his business since the protective
Bystem was adopted thirty years ago.
Those who inherited a business estab
lished prior to that time have adapted it
to the protective system of the last
thirty years. Honce every business man
who knows that the election of Cleve
land means a Democratic house, senate
and presidency sees that a general
change in the system of the conduct of
the government would change the con
ditions under which ho has had
prosperity, and at the same time BO un
settle the general business conditions a>
to render investments unsafe, and capi
talists unwilling to enter upon business
enterprises.
The manufacturers are seeing that
their industries have wonderfully devel-
O(*M1; that the balance of trade has been
$700,000,000 in favor of this country in
the past ten years, while in the same
time it has lieen $8,500,000,000 against
free trade Great Britain. Hence they
prefer to retain a system under which
their individual business and our na
tional commerce have both l>een pros
perous.
Their employees are seeing that the
rates of wages in protected United
Stales are double those paid in free
trade England, and that employment is
more certain here than in countries not
having a protective system. Hence they
will vote with the Republican party.
The farmers are remembering that
Pre.-ideut Harrison's administration has.
by its energetic efforts in their behalf,
incre ed foreign markets for their
products immensely. Not only has the
vigorous work of this administration
caused a reopening of markets for our
meats, bnt through reciprocity our other
farm products have been given advan
tages abroad, and the foreign sale of all
agricultural products has been increased
$275,000,000. Hence the farmers will
vote with the Republicans.
Merchants and financial men recog
nize the fact that the Democratic party
is pledged to substitute for the national
banking system untaxed and unguaran
teed issues of state bank currency, which
was so disastrous to all business inter
ests before the war. Hence they will
support the Republican candidates.
The people of the great west are re
membering that Mr. Cleveland's admin
istration of the land office devoted its
chief energies to preventing people from
obtaining homes and homesteads, in
stead of aiding them, as this adminis
tration has done. Cleveland's commis
sioners of the land office charged that 40
per cent, of the homestead entries were
fraudulent; that IMi per cent, of the tim
ber culture entries were fraudulent, and
that 100 per cent, of the pre-emption
files were fraudulent. It suspended hun
dreds of thousands of claims for homes,
and went out of office leaving 960,953
entries for homes unacted upon. Presi
dent Harrison's administration has
cleared up all of these and acted upon
all others which have come in the mean
time. The people of the west, remem
bering these things, will vote with the
Republicans.
The old soldiers remember that Pres
ident Cleveland refused his signature to
524 jiension bills, while all the presi
dents who had preceded him had only
taken this action npon five bills. They
renieml>cr that Cleveland's administra
tion ejected thousands of soldiers from
office and showed its lack of sympathy
for them at every step. Hence they will
vote with the Republicans.
The foreign born citizens compare
their condition in this country with that
of free trade countries, and are unwill
ing to exchange the system which has
given them prosjierity here for the sys
tem which pays starvation wages abroad,
and which they left their former homes
to escape. Hence they will vote with
the Republicans.
The colored voters remember that it
is to the Republican party that they
owe their present free and prosperous
condition, and that a large share of the
Democratic party is conducting the
campaign under the inspiriting and un
just cry of "No force bill; no negro
domination." O. P. AUSTIN.
Both branches of congress will neces
sarily be Democratic In CM* of President
Harrison's defeat. We cannot lose ttie
presidency and sate either the senate or
til,, house. Therefore It must seem to
ordinary eifireiis as an appalling proposl
tlon to reverse absolutely the polleie*
under which their present prosperous con
dition was begun and Is now being main
tained. Chairman < :irter.
The last time the Democratic party eon
trolled presidency, house and senate It
plotted the destruction of the government
and brought on a war shlchcost hundreds
of thousand* of lit * - and billions of mosrj.
Your failure to >ote for Harrison may re
store tlicm to full power for the first time
since HUM). Your tote may determine th»
result.
■ would like to knew how any soldier
call vole for two men, botk drafted on the
same day, against a man who served his
country as totally as Harrison did in the
tluie of peril. —t,eueral Henry W. Morula

fact, so l>«ng ago a- April, l-yo. u» a
communication which 1 prepare*! to send
to all persons- and they were legmn—
who addressed me on the subject of ag
ricultural depr fion. I referred to the
advantages of reciprocity.
At the same time 1 think it will very
seldom lie found necessary to surrender
adequate protective duties on any for
eign goods snch as we can manufacture
in this country Our reoipnsral rela
t.ous with countries m the temperate
lone, growii.g largely the same kind of
agricultural products and living under
comparatively the same conditions, wi.i
always be very limited. But just as w»
have exemplified in the case of sugar, of
which at present we do not produce a
quantity sufficient f- r cur dom» c :
ply, so in regard to tea, cvffeo anas;
which come to tw from tropical ox .
tropical countries, then 1 is a c :i .
able opportunity for the < . .
sound economic princij
..u.trica buy these g<
that Imy American goods, j
upon such as come to us fro_.«,» ,
that put a duty upon our goods.
It is American labor we want to pro
tect, and Ai. rican homes, and Ido r.< t.
as a consistent protectionist, regard as a
subject for free trade any article i: ' ■
the production of which, in a form a*, .:
able for u»e, American labor enters. If
the conditions are such, for instance, ii.
Canada, that a Canadian farmer cm
raise certa.n crops more cheaply t
we can. 1 would protect our Amer:. ..«
farmers by putting such a duty on the-.-
products that Canadian fanners could
not undersell them. In the same man
ner 1 would protect our fruit growers
from Mediterranean fruits, and would
encourage the fiber industry m our own
country, so that eventually the bulk of
our hemp, flax and other vegetable titiers
should be prodnced at home. I am for
the protection of the American laborer's
home and labor, but I ani equally intent
on protecting the American farmer's
home and labor,
POPULISTS SUPPORT HARRISON.
Mrs. I .ease Recommends This In View of
Southern Treatment of Weaser.
A special to the Democratic New York
Times from Topeka. Kan., says:
The sensation of the day in Kansas is
the interview with Mrs. Lea-e, who has
been accompanying (General Weaver in
his tour through the southern states.
She recites the indignities they were
subjected to and then declares that if a
vote for Weaver is in reality a vote for
Cleveland in this state her desire is that
the Populists scratch their ticket and
vote for the Harrison electors.
Mrs. Lease is, next to Jerry Simpson,
the strongest leader of the Kansas Popu
lists, and her expressed wishes have
caused great consternation not only in
her own party, bnt among the Demo
crats.
She concedes every southern state to
Cleveland, and therefore at this late day
indicates her preference for Harrison.
Her advice will lie followed by many,
but at this time it is impossible to say to
what extent.

"Whosoever provideth not for his own
household is worse than an infidel,"
These women belong to households
which are not "provided for." Th» \
live in free trade Eugland. The men
in their families are not lawless nor in
different to their comfort. They cannot
with all their efforts earn < norigh money
to provide for the mere sustenance <■
those whom they love and would cherts..
But they are not to be blamed, for the
free trade laws by which they are gov- !
eroed bring these resnlts.
The American man of family has a j
gTaver responsibility. He makes hi* 1
own laws.
The election of Grover Cleveland |
would imperil the home of the A aenc . i j
workingman and those whom he has j
vowed to care f. «r in sickness or in death. !
Every man who regards the hap; - |
of women sh ild realize that <• * '<■
