tinued. II have been too long the willing
slave of your caprice. 1t is not fitting the
woman l honor above all the world should
be on terms of free and easy intimacy with
such a man as Captain Hail."
A contemptuous curl of the lip empha-
sized the words.
Maud started as though they had stung
her; her hasty temper in arms Immediate

"By what right do you venture to criti-

"You shall give mt the right" he re-
joined, holly, ''or from this day I will never

she quoted. Then he fairly turned his
back for some seconds, that she might not
see the panied working of his features.
He was pale to the very lips when at
length he did look, in silence offering his
hand. Silently she laid her own in it. The
agony in his eyes subdued her; what was a
woman's weak petulance in comparison
with this?
"For the last time,'' said Gerald Sorth-
wick. He bowed low over the white fin
gers. and kissed them then walked away.
She heard a horses hoofs presently, at a
furious gallop.
The lodge-keeper touched his hat as Ger

were great tears on the old man's rugged
cheeks.
"What is the matter, Williams?"
"Have you not heard, sir? l thought
you knew from the rate you came, and the
look of your face"
"No-no-what is it %
Williams whispered a few words. Ger

supported him.

friend that night. "Old Sorthwick is ru-

Nonsense, man he is as rich as Gree

Yes; fahulously so, that is, he mort

''the last of the box, and a brand | am not
likely to taste yet awhile"
So, with the cigar between his teeth, he
passes through the gate, and across green
meadow-land towards the town.
The music grows distinct IS he proceeds.
IL think | am wise," he reflects, bitterly.
''To-morrow by this time / shall have left
the old lite quite behind me. Gerald Sorth-
wick, tea-trader, China. Vague, that, and
it is about all l know but shall be better
out there. The old position, habits, in
%stincts, "reminiscences, would be so many
dead weights in England"
The cigar burns close to his lips he spits
it out and hcsitates.
81 must see her face once" he groans,
Tiny VOW Notwithstanding" and as the
church clock strikes ten he stand in the
black shadow of some trees, locking across
a bo%wling-green at the great doors Of the
Assembly Rooms, to which heated couples
come from time so time to inhale the soft,
pure air, and perhaps draw inspiration from
the moonlight. At length he sees her, lean
ing on Captain, Halls arm, and laughing
gaily.
A bitter imprecation rises to his lips, but
he suppresses it. care you content now,
stupid % he asks himself.
A bird twitters on a bough near him, and
by force of subtle association, in strange
mockery,' the recollection comes how he had
once startled Maud by a perfect imitation OF
her doves cooling; it was when they were
most friendly, before Captain Halls advent.
SIT shall be your signal when you want
me, and l am talking to disagreeable peo-
ple,'' she had said. He wondered whether
she would remember the incident, and a
wish grew upon him to try the experiment.
They, had ceased talking, Maud and her
partner, and were gazing straight towards
him :but there was safety in the shadow, he
knew.
"Coo-o-o!" A soft note, thrice repeated.
He.saw Maud start violently and'tremble.
Captain Hall thought it was with cold.
'sThe night air is too chilli" he said :'Eet
us return"
mo, l cannot leave the moonlight; but
youymay fetch my wrapper, if you will be SO
good:'
The watcher beneath the trees saw him
vanish saw Maud's gloved handspressed to
her heart, as though to still its beating.
Then he maryeled for a moment whether
sight were playing him false, tor a white
figure glided towards him through the
moonlight, needless OF the dew that soaked
flowing robes and satin slippers.
"Gerald !" it cried.
He drew her into. the shadow.
"Say good-by to me, Maud" There was
a queer tremor in the voice.
"Good-by?" she asked, wonderingly.
81 leave England tomorrow. Will you
not bid me good-by, my lost darling?
Captain Hall appeared in the doorway at
that instant, searching in great astonish-
ment for his partner; but they were happily
unconscious of the fact, for two bare arms
were around Gerald's neck, and a sweet
voice was whispering:
"Love-love-will you not stay, for my
sake %

A crisis is nearly reached in European
matters. Both England and Russia are
drawing the lines from which neither
can rscede without bringing national
disgrace upon them. Russia has detin.
ed her line of action and proposes to
carry 1t out. England is determined
that another course shall be taken, and
upon the concession Of one or the other,
hang the chances Of war being declared.
Austria and Prussia are more favorable
to Russia than 10 England. 1t is an.
nounced that tho report that Russia had
demanded the withdrawal of the Brit
ish feet from Marmora, was premature,
but the concentration of Russian and
Turkish forces around Constantinople
is an indication that they mean that
England shall gain no advantage, by
the presence of the English fleet in the
Marmora. The prospect for the meet.
ing of the congress grow daily less.
Russia has called out an additional force
of 1000 men, and evidently means to
be prepared for any emergency that
may arise. The sudden and unpreced-
ented rise in market paiccs, SAVIOR
strongly OF certainty that war is about
to be declared. Tomorrow or next
day must give US reliable news to that
effect.

Editors JOURNAL our last let
ter we have made several trips through
different sections of the State; at Kansas
City We met tho great tidal wave OF
emigration rolling into Kansas. From
hero it takes the principal lines into
Kansas viz: tho Kansas Pacific, Fort
Scott l. Gulf, and the Atchison, Topc-
ka & Santa Fe roads. On the latter We
became passenger to Great Bend. Our
train consisted Of twelve coaches, drawn
by one engine, another one in the rear
pushing, which reminded rs OF tho
Pennsylvania who was always in o
hurry, and constantly using the remark
"kecp long push moving" so it seem
cd with our train.
Every coach was literally jammed
full of mon, women and children. Oh
leaving the city, We were told We should
stop ut Topeka over night and view tho
present State Capitol. (not long the
fnture.) However1 On our arrival We
were told We must 60 on, but no partic-
ular reason assigned. We found among
the crowd persons to tell US We had
better stop of and buy land here as
there was nothing west of Topeka. That
did not satisty us; We wanted to go
Southwestern Kansas. On We went,
"push moving" toward the great Arksn.
sas valley, which We reached sometime
in the night. At three A. II. We stop
ped Cd, at Great Bend. About ono halt
that left Topeka had got of before
reaching this point. Three carloads
switched of for Wichita, quite q num-
ber stopped here, the balance won't on
tn Kingsley, the terminus Of the excur.
sion route.
We had no opportunity of seeing the
country on tho route. nor could We eco
much here the 6rst day, ~ it rained
hard ell day. The second day We took
in tho town and its surroundings. We
found quite business little town, sur.
rounded with 6nc country and some
very good farms. The country present
cd different appearance from what it
