"I con at any rate promise you a safe night's rest; nnd I ath suro you must be In lieed of it, Even If wo are op posed to one another, we can cry n truce for a single night." It was In truth an awkward situa tion nnd Olive felt not a little embar rassed. But Mrs. Merridew showed tact ugh to keep away from the subject he bitter difference between them, and did all she could to Induce Olivo to believe that she had no thought save for her comfort. She was not staying nt a hotel, but In apartments, and found occasion to explain this to Olive on the ground that her health did not admit of her taking any but the plainest food, which she had not been always able to get nt ho tels. Olive wa, utterly worn nut by the experiences of the day, nnd paid little uttontlnn to this explanation; nor did It strike her ns slngulur. She was faint for want of food, nnd took what was given to her readily nnd hurried off to bed soon afterword. (the was Indeed too dnxed to think about anything.

Paris, Nov. 6.—The negotiations opened last summer between the United States and France for a tariff arrange ment on a basis giving France the ben efit of a 20 per cent reduction in wines in return for preferential rates upon a list of about 100 articles, including shoes, tools, machinery, etc., have thus far been barren of results, nnd the ac tion of the French government Satur day in virtually promising not to con clude any further commercial arrange ments until parliament passes upon the proposed revision of the tariff of 1892, seems to preclude any chance of agree ment.

What she would have done, penniless, friendless and alone under such circumstances, baffled her Imag ination; and she fell asleep in the com fortable bed with a feeling of grati tude for Mrs. Merridew's help. But In the early morning when she awoke refreshed by her sleep and able once more to think cnlmly, she began 0 take a very different clew of what ad occurred. Certain questions forced themselves upon her. How came It that Mrs. Merridew was In Sheffield so opportunely? And was It no more than coincidence that she appeared at the station just nt the moment when Olive would be In such sore need of help? If the attack In the train had really been planned by Gilbert Merridew—nnd that paper left little or no room for doubt—might not this further develop ment have been also carefully schemed? In her sleepy state overnight It had not seemed singular that Mrs. Merri dew should he In apnrtments Instead of at a hotel; but was It not a very curious step? The Merit-dews had probably known from the first that Olive would come to Sheffield to prose cute her Inquiries, too; was It not quite likely, therefore, that they would have tills house In readiness for use against her, In case of an opportunity offer ing Itself? All that which appeared to be no more than kindness on the preceding | night, now took a very different shape. It might all be part of some plan, cun ningly concocted und cleverly carried out. Hud Mrs. Merridew helped her out of her trouble with tho railroad people only to lure her to a worse mess? Was the house a trap? No sooner had these thoughts occur- red to her than she dreased herself, re solved to leave the house without a dis- ltd lug discovery. Her door was locked on the outside. She was a prisoner! A glance from the window showed her a flagged area thirty feet below There tvas no escape that way. She rang thp bell In her room. But without response. It might all mean nothing, of course, but on the other hand. It might mean so much that Olive was greatly per turbed. She blamed herself bitterly for the folly of the previous nlght’r 'rust. Pettcr, far better. It seemed to icr noiv, to havg been taken to the po le station than to have trusted hcrsell nshle this house. The publicity would .' lave been galling, but she would at , 'cast have been safe In the hands of i the police. After some cmuldcration site resolved i.> net as if she hnd no suspicions at II. She undressed and got Into ted igaln, determined to seise the first I 'hance that offered to leave the house. About 3 o'clock Mrs. Merridew her- -df came Into her room. "4 hope you 1 ive slept well. Mi’s Parmenter. I I a-ktd your door when I found you had : not done so, because—well, I always '-ck my own when I am In a strange touse. Ard, of course.

"This Is' my sitting jom." and she barred Olive’s passage md led her Into a room on the first door at the back of the house, where .cakfast was already laid for them.

IMPORTANT FEATURES The reason for this grand free distribution is simply to advertise the Kimball Piano. The Vf. W. Kimball Co., the largest manufacturers of pianos in the world, desiring to impress the name, “Kimball,” indelibly upon the minds of all who may now or at some future time need a piano, makes this great offer. It is the custom these days with many manufacturers to spend large sums yearly in ex pensive magazine advertising. The Kimball Co. prefer to advertise their pianos in a more direct way,'going straight to the people, through their dealers and offering these prizes. The adver tising results nre thus obtained for the Kimball piano and the people benefit to the extent of thousands of dollars. The W. W. Kimball Co. was one of the first to establish the one-price system. Kimball pianos are sold the world over nt a uniform price. They are always marked in plain figures at their lowest selling price. Purchasers of Kimball pianos always have the assurance that they get value received, their dollar going just as far as any other’s. They are also assured of a genuine reduction to the full amount their certificates may call for. Kimball pianos arc sold on the easy payment plan if so desired.
