"So you have been In Paris lately?" he asked her suddenly. She nodded. "For a few days." "I arrived from there barely a week ago," he remarked. "I hate the place!" she answered. "Talk of something else." And he obeyed. The second Interruption came from Andrew. During a momentary lull In the conversation they heard his firm, clear voice talking. "My time was up yesterday, but I find so much to interest me down here that I think I shall stay on for a few more days if my host remains as hos pitable as ever." "So much to interest him," she mnr mured. "Are not all places the same to the blind? What does he mean?" "He is not really blind," Duncombe answered, lowering his voice. "He can see things very dimly. The doctor has told him that if he wears those glasses for a few more months he may be able to preserve some measure of eyesight. Poor chap!" - "He does not attract me, your friend," she said a little coldly. "What can he find to Interest him so much here? Do you see how he keeps his head turned this way? It Is almost as though he wished to listen to what we were saying." . "There is a sort of reason for that," Duncombe answered. "Shall I explain itr "Do!" "Pelham lives, as I think I told you, In a small country house near Raynes bam," Duncombe began. "The hall In his village was occupied by a young man a boy, really and his sister. Early In the year the boy, who bad never been abroad, thought that be would like to travel a little In Europe. He wandered about some time In Ger many and Austria and was coming home by Paris. Suddenly all letters from him ceased. He did not return. He did not write. He drew no money from his letter of credit He simply disappeared." ' The girl was proceeding tranquilly with her dinner. The story so far did not seem to Interest her. "His sister, who went over to Paris to meet blin, found herself quite alone there,' and we suppose that she devot ed herself to searching for him. And then, curiously enough, she, too, dlsap- oeared. Letters from ner suaaeniy ceased. No one knew what had be come of her." She looked at him with a faint smile. "Now," she said, "your story Is be coming Interesting. Do go on. I want to know where you and Mr. Pelham come In." "Pelham, I think," he continued gravely, "was their oldest friend. He sent for me. We were old college chums, and I went This trouble with bis eyes had only Just come on, and he was practically helpless-much more helpless than the ordinary blind per son, because it was all new to him. This boy and girl were his old and dear friends. He was longing to be off to Paris to search for them him self, and yet be knew that to. far at be was concerned It would be simply wasted time. He showed me the girl's photograph." "Welir "I went In his place." ."And did you find either of them?" "No." -I wonder," she said, "why yon naT told me this story r "I am going to tell you why," be an, twered. "Because when Pelham beard you laugh last night be wat like a madmau.

I don't mind telling you, Andrew, that I find Miss Fielding the most delightful girl I ever met in my life." "Tell me exactly, George, how she compares with the photograph you have of Phyllis Poynton." Duncombe sipped his wine slowly. "She is very like it," be said, "and yet there are differences. She Is cer tainly a little thinner and taller. The features are similar, but the hair Is quite differently arranged. I should say that Miss Fielding Is two or three years older than Phyllis Poynton, and she has the air of having traveled and been about more." ' - - "A few months of events," Andrew murmured, "might account for all those differences." Duncombe laughed as he followed bis host's lead and rose. "Get that maggot out of your brain, Andrew," he exclaimed, "as quickly as possible. Will you take my arm? Mind tbe corner." They found the drawing room almost deserted. Lord Runton raised his eye glass and looked around. "I bet those women have collared the billiard table," he remarked. "Come along, you fellows." They recrossed the hall and entered the billiard room. Lady Runton was playing with the lord lieutenant's wife, Miss Fielding and the baron were still together. tbe Countess of Appleton. The others were all sitting about either on the lounge or In tbe winter garden be yond. Miss Fielding wat standing on the threshold, and Duncombe advanced eagerly toward her. On the way, how ever, he was buttonholed by an ac quaintance; the master of the bounds had something to say to him afterward about one of hit covers. When he was free Miss Fielding had disappeared. He made bis way into the winter gar den, only to find her sitting In a se cluded corner with the baron. She looked up at bit entrance, but made no sign. Duncombe reluctantly re-entered the billiard room and wat cap tured by bis host for a rubber of bridge. . Tbe rubber was a long one. Dun combe played badly and lost hit mon ey. Declining to cut In again, he re turned to the winter garden. Mist Fielding and tbe baron were still to gether, only now they bad pushed their chairs a little farther back and were apparently engaged In a very confi dential conversation. Duncombe turn ed on bit heel end re-entered the bil liard room. It, wat not until tbe party broke up that be found a chance of speaking to ber.' He wat sensible tt once .of change in her manner.

Shall I drop blm a hint? He might stay a day longer just to make a few inquiries about you on the spot, you know." "Get blm to stay a day longer If you can." Duncombe answered, "but dont give me away. The old cbap'a none too cordial as It is." "I must talk to blm," Bunton said. "Your baronetcy la a thundering tight better than any of these mushroom peerages. He probably doesn't under stand that sort of thing. But what about the girl? Old De Bothe bat been making the running pretty strong, you know." "We all have to take our chance In that sort of thing," Duncombe tald quietly. "I am not afraid of De Kothe." "I'll do what I can for you," Bunton promised. "Good night" Andrew, who bad left an hour or to earlier, was sitting . in the library smoking a pipe when hit host returned. "Not gone to bed yet, tbenr Dun combe remarked. "Let me make you a whisky and soda, old chap. You look a bit tired." "Very good of you. I think I wlU,' Andrew answered. "And, George, are you sure that I should not be putting you out at all if I were to stay say another couple of days with your Duncombe wheeled round and faced hit friend. Hit reply wat not Immedi ate. "Andrew," he tald, "you know Tery well that I haven't a pal in the world I'd sooner have here than you for Just at long at you choose to stay, but for give me If I ask you one question. It It because you want to watch Mitt Fielding that you have changed your niindr "That has a good deal to do with It George," Andrew tald quietly. "If I left without meeting that young lady again I should be miserable. I want to hear ber speak when tbe does not know that any one la listening." Duncombe crossed the room and laid hit hand upon tbe other's shoulder. "Andrew, old fellow," be tald, "I can't have It I can't allow even my best friend to spy upon Mitt Fielding. You tee I've come a bit of a cropper. Quick work, I suppose, you'd say. But I'm there all tbe same." "Who wants to spy upon Mitt Field. Ing?" Andrew exclaimed hoarsely. "She can be the daughter of a multi millionaire or a penniless adventurer for all I care. An I want It to be sure that the Isn't Phyllis Poynton." "You are not yet convinced r "No." There wat a moment a silence. Dun combe walked to the window and re turned. "Andrew," be tald, "doesn't what I told you Just now make a difference V Andrew groaned. ' "Of course It would," be answered, "but I'm fool enough to feel tbe tame about Phyllis Poynton." Duncombe, in tbe full glow of ten satlont which teemed to blm to give a larger and more wonderful outlook on life, felt hit sympathies suddenly awakened. Andrew Pelham, bit era chum, tlttlng there with bit huge, dls flturlng glasses and bowed bead, was surely the prototype of all that wat pathetic. He forgot au ma tmau imp tatlon at tbe other's obstinacy. He re membered only their long years of comradeship and the tragedy which loomed over tbe life of bla cbotea friend. Once more bit arm rested upon bit tboulder. 'I'm a selfish brute, Anarewr-, m tald. "BUy at long as you pleat ana mi thia idea oat of tout brains.

He felt bit hot breath upon bis cheek. For a moment there stole through bit numbed senses fear of more terrible things. And then the grip which held him relaxed. Andrew stood away gasping. Tb crisis was over. "You lied to me, George. Whyr Duncombe did not answer. He could not It wat at though hit body bad been emptied of all breath. "You meant to keep the content of that telegram tecret from me. Why? Waa I right after all? Read me that telegram, George. Bead it to me truth fully." "The telegram la from Spencer," Duncombe tald. "He la coming here." "Here? It he giving up the search? Hat he failed, tbenr "He does not say," Duncomb an swered. "He says simply that he la coming here. He baa wired for a mo tor to meet blm at Lynn. He may be here tonight" A discordant laugh broke from Pel ham's lips. "What about your Miss Fielding nowr be exclaimed. "Why do you suppose that be it leaving Paris and coming here? I wat right I knew that I was right" Duncombe stood up. Hit expanse of shirt front was crumpled tnd battered. Hit white tit waa banging down la ribbone, "Listen, Andrew!" be exclaimed. "I am speaking of tbe girl by whose tide I tat tonight at dinner, who calls her self Mist Fielding, who baa la plain words denied that tht knows anything of Phyllis Poynton. I want you to un derstand thia. Whatever the may choose to call herself that shall be ber name. I will not bare her questioned or- bullied or watched. If Spencer comet here to do either, I hare finished with him. I elect myself ber protector. X will stand between ber- and all sus picion of evil things." "She baa found a champion Indeed!" Pelham exclaimed fiercely. "With Mitt Fielding I bar nothing to do. Yet you bad better understand this. If tbo be Phyllis Poynton the belongs to m and not to you. She waa mtn befor you beard ber name, j I bar watched ber grow up from a child. X taught ber to ride and to shoot and to iwlm.

"There are a few questions I shall be glad to ask blm In the morn ing." "There is one," Pelham said, "which you must answer now." Spencer raised bis eyebrows. He was standing with his back to them now, helping himself to sandwiches from a dish upon tbe sideboard. "By Jove, your cook does understand these things," he remarked, with his mouth full. "No Idea I was so hungry. What was that, Mr. Pelham? A ques tion which must be answered now?" "Yet. .You telegraphed to Duncombe to know the names of Lord Runton's guests, and now you have come here yourself, Whyr Spencer helped- himself to another sandwich. - "I came here," be said, "because I didn't seem to be getting on In Paris. It struck me that tbe clew to Miss Poyntou's disappearance might, after all, be on this side of the channel." Pelham guided himself by the table to the sideboard. He stood close to Spencer. "Mr. Spencer," he said, "I am almost blind, and I cannot see your face, but I want you to tell me the truth. I ex pect It from you." "My dear fellow," Spencer answered, 'Tm awfully aorry for you, of course, but I really don't see why I should an swer your questions at all,' truthfully or untruthfully. I have been making a few Inquiries for my friend Duncombe, At present I regret to say that I bave been unsuccessful. In their present crude state I should prefer keeping my discoveries, such at they are, to my self." Pelham struck tbe sideboard with his clinched fist to that all tbe glasses rat tled upon tbe tray. His face was dark with passion. "I will not be Ignored in this mat ter," be declared. "Fbyllls Poynton and ber brother are nothing to Dun combe. He acted only for me. He cannot deny It Ask blm for yourself." "I do not need to ask blm," Spencer answered. "I am perfectly well aware of tht circumstances of the case. AU th tame, I go about my business my own way. I am not ready to answer Questions from you or anybody else." "You shall tell me thlt tt least," Pel- bam declared. "You tbtll tell me why you telegraphed here for tbe names of Lord Runton's bouse party." Simplest thing in tbe world," Spen cer answered, relinquishing bit attack upon tb sandwiches and lighting a cigarette. "I did it to oblige a friend wbo writes society note for the New York Herald." Duncomb gave vent to a little ex clamation of triumph. Pelham for tbe moment waa speech leas. "Awfully sorry If I misled you lu any wty," Spencer continued. "I ner. er Imagined your connecting my re quest with tb disappearance of Phyt lit Poynton. Why should ir" "Tb fact It," Duncomb interposoa, "there la a girl ttaylng at Runton House wbo voice Pelham declares la exactly like Phyllis Poynton't and whose general appearance, I will ad mit Is somewhst tlmilar to the photo' graph I showed you.

WHY FRUIT TREES ARE USEFUL Their Yield Would Build Up a Fund For Maintaining and Improving High way. Liat of Long Lined Shade Tr.es Preferred by an Expert The question as to what trees Bbould be set out to give shade and charm to our thoroughfares is thus answered in the Good Roads Magazine by L. C, Corbett, horticulturist to the depart ment of agriculture: It Is known In a general way that chestnut, walnut, plum, apple and oth er fruit trees are used for this purpose In many foreign countries, it Is In many cases desirable that the trees which are to give shade shall also yield fruit which, when gathered and sold lu tbo proper season, will build up a fund to be used for the main tenance of the road, or perhaps to be devoted to tbe special purpose of fur ther beautifying the highway and so adding to the material as well as to the aesthetic value of the neighboring land. Within the confines of the United States so great a variety of conditions exist which bear on this question that It would seem Impossible to designate a list of trees which will be adapted to all the road conditions In this country, unless It 1m desirable to limit tbo list to fruit or to nut bearing trees. If this Is tbe case, the fruit bearing trees which will be found best adapted to highway conditions are the apple and the pear for soma localities. Apples may bo planted In all that part of eastern 1'nlted States north of the Cnrolluns and In the Appalachian region eveu south of that section. West lf these mountains tbe npplo will serve as fur south as the gulf 'states and westward to the base of the Rocky mountain, with perhaps the exception of the northern part of Minnesota, tbe Dnk itns and Montana, where it would he well to substitute other plants for the iinnle unless tbo crab applo were substituted for the common? apple. Nut bearing trees which are adapted to this ttu It) eastern United State are the Iia:. ;, ti-..- r.iilar.t and the butternut fjr New KiiUnd and aloug the Appnhtdiiiiu mountains as far south as Cex-gUx. At this point tho distribution of these nut trees should take a uort uvnnl turn on the west tide of tho Ailegliuii.v mountains, whvro they should uot be uicd south of Ken tucky or further ivent than Colorado. The hickory will uot tlirlvo In northern Iowa, northern Wisconsin, Minnesota or lu the Dnkotas. , The black wnlnm, however, may be planted over tho southern part of Min nesota, eastern South Dakota, outturn Nebraska and Kniisus. Personally 1 believe t!i:it ns a rulo 14 would be better to reluct 'omjt Huod shade trees than to mloiiuit to com bine fruit production wltl shade ami beauty. Tbe following list of shade trees would. In uiy Judgment fulfill the re quirements bettor than tbe fruit and nut list: Elmt are desirable, but do not give it dens a canopy as do the maples. In New England and the middle states tht tugar maple It one ot tne ukjsi ue alrabie and extensively used shade trees. If a abode more dense than that given by tbe tugar maple It de tired, tbe Norway maple may be plant cd Instead. It bat king been considered on of tb finest shade trees we btvt about Washington. From Washing ton southward to tbe Carolines a vari ety of shade trees may be employed, tuch aa the silver maple, which I per hap the leatt desirable of tho maple family. Tbe sycamore baa a natural distribution throughout thlt whole ter ritory tnd Is hardy and beautiful. The oak offer a number of good shade tree, although some grow slowly. In thlt family tbe red oak. tbe willow oak and tht pin oak ar all desirable for roadside us outside th territory In which tbe live oak thrive. In my Judgment, there It no tret Mrhloh mmnaraa with tb live oak for bad and ornament In regions south of th northern latitude of Carolina. Thia tree might be used to the exclu sion of every tber throughout the southern part ot tbe United States, be cause It ts typical of tha t region. For California the pepper tree will perhaps rapersed everything els at a roadside tree, while In Florida tb camphor tree might well to need tt a tnbetltut for tto pepper trc of Call Cnrnla.
