A FAMILY AFFAIR,
BY HUGH CONWAY
Author Of "Caiisd Back and Dark Days
CHAPTER XXXII--coNTINuEp.

She was unhurt The man had struck the
ground first, and so borne thc brunt of the
shock His head had fallen heavily on the
ballast of the line, and he lay without sense
or motion Was he dead'
This when her disjomted and scattered
thoughts were once more able to resume the
terrible Kaleidoscope pattern into which
fanaticism bad shaken them, was the one
question asked by the woman, She felt for
the moment no remorse, no horror, but the
dread seized her that her hand might ha We
failed that the work might not vet be done (;
that she had not fulfilled her dc my. She
bent over the PROSTATE man AM placed her
cheek close to his lips.
He breathed She felt the faint breath
on her check She laid her hand on his
heart and felt its pulsations, slowly distinct
She sprang to her feet with sharp cry of
distress. She had failedl Hervey was alive
and would recover. The work had not been
donel
She peerei wildly into the darkness She
scarcely knew for what she looked. A large
stone, a piece of iron anything which would
show her that the hand which had guided
her SO far on the fearful road of fate had
not deserted her; but she found nothing
absolutely nothing which could serve her
neel.
But suddenly, away along the down line
she saw round red light creeping apparently
nearer and nearer Her heart lelp1d at the
sight To the uttermost bitterest end the
way was clear. The final word hal gone
forth. the final revelation was made to her
She placed her hands under the mans
shoulders and bv an effort of strength
desperate and far beyond what might have
been expected from her frame, dragged him
over the few feet OF road way which lay
between him and the metals. He groaned
once or twice. but remained senSeless and
motonIess as she placed him right in the
track of the coming train.

Beatrice sdp that Uhite face dnd knetc
1T was no DREAM answered Carruthers
In a hoarse, choked voic,. Not another word
was exchanged until they reached Beatrice's
home. Here Frank wanted to accompany
her to her rooms. She shook her head.
"Go back, go back" sue whispered You
will see to all, learn every thing, will you
notr
He nodded, re-entered the carriage and
drove back to the cemetery. The blood ran
fercely through his veins. This man, the
man who stood between him and happiness
dead! 1t could not be- Such things as this
never happen in real life. s. me chance re-
semblance must have misled him and Bea-
trice. Will Carruthers, who had never yet
wished fellow creature dead, be blamed
because he trembled at the thought.
There was no mistake. He gained access s
to the room. He saw the body uncovered
saw the sling which had been removed from
the broken arm. And he stood and gazed
at the dead man he seemed to hear the voice
OF the strange servant I've gging him in wild
accents to wait for Beatrice. Her prophecy
had come true; her curious faith had not
deceived her.
He looked long on the white face PITY,
except the pity one feels for violent death
did not move his heart But, nevertheless
the man lying there had once been loved by
Beatrice; might, had he so willel, he loved
by her even now. How strange it ell
seemed. At last he turned away.
He had to answer many questions; see
sundry officials. He said he identified the
man as one Maurice Hcrvey, an artist. He
could say nothing more about him-nothing
about his friends He had exchanged very
few words with him. Then he left money
for the corpse to be removed to another
war rtsaal and decently laid out Also
| money for funeral expenses and for stone
with NJ. H. on it to lie put over the grave
They told him the funeral must take place
on the morrow. Then he went back to Bea-
trice.
She would not see him, so he left a note
saying that all was done. The next day he
stood over Maurice Hervey's grave.

collected them, and creeping stealtl ily to
.s:o box which stands awaiting contril utions
for some, doubtless, very deserving c ,arity,
she dropped in every coin that was uI On her
person. This done she believed there YVES
nothing left which could in any way show
who she was or whence she came.
She passed out under the archway, n soli-
tary, dark robed figure with head b,nt as
in grief. She passed. from the gastly white
glare of electric lamps into the all but de-
serted Strand She walked some way up
the Strand, then, without any definite aim
turned to the right and by and by found
herself ON the embankment.
Still she wandered on until she reached
Waterloo bridge. She went half way across
it, then stopped short and gazed over the
parapet into the river. But no thought Of
self-destruction had entered into her head
although the red light was still before her
eyes, the wild rush still sounding in her ears
aud those fearful iron wheels in her brain
circlipg more rapidly than ever. No, the
river hal hut for her the attraction which a
smooth, calm, peaceful stream has for all
who are in deep distress. SO she looked and
looked; even craned over the parapet to peer
into its somber, placid depths.
At that moment bl ndng light flashed
upon her eyes AMI a hand grasped her
shoulder Now none of that nonsense"
said a sharp voice--the voice of a policeman
who had seen her dark form against the
stonework of the bridge. The woman turned
her face to his, and the anguish written upon
it persuaded the constable that ne had arriv ed
just in the nick of time
River airs hal at night for such as you,"
he said in kinder voice. "Now you go
straight home like a good woman IN see Won

And so TO the end. With reverent eyes
Frank and Beatrice saw them all, the poor
dead things, lying ON their green biers
awaiting mterment, lying there with q wire
fastened to the hand SO that If life was by
any chance to return, whether by night or
by day, u Tell must ring and bring aid.
but they never ring for aid, these poor dead
thingsl
Frank and Beatrice turned away. Il
seemed to Frank, at least, that the spec
tacle they had seen was fitting ending 10
their excursion. They walked away slowly
and in silence But they had not seen all
In a room at the very entrance, so that
con, ,is aud goers might the more readily
notice it, lay the body of a man. Not ON
fragrant boughs, but on plain slate bier,
for there was no one to authorize the ex-
penditure necessary to give IL a bel of ever.
green's A black cloth was thrown across
the body and the white face was turned
toward the window.
And Frank saw that white face aud knew
it-and Beatrice saw that white face and
knew. She graspel Franks arm. strove to
speak, gave n sharp cry and fell senseless on
the stones. Carruthers lifted her and bore
l,er TO the hacre. He bade the man drive
home at once.
Beatrice revived. sne looked at FRANK M
q dazed way. II dreamed-it was dreamf

The red light was close-close at hand,
but the man lay still and rocked nothing OF
it. The woman having accomplished her
CHASTITY work, wound her black shawl
tightly round her head, then fell upon her
knees, waited, and lived an age in every
moment.
She heard. through the muffling, the rush,
she felt on her hands the wind of the metal
monster as it swept by but she heard or felt
no NOR She rose and shu idered con-
vulsively; then, without a glance to see
what her hand had wrought, stepped over
the line, down the steep embankment, and
was lost in the night. She had done what
she believed to be her appointed task No
longer would Maurice Hervey stand be-
tween Beatrice and happiness!
The poor wretch asalmost cut in two. The
wheels which had crushed the life out of him
were those OF an engine on its way to pick
up trucks on a siding some way down the
line The driver felt the slight obstruction,
and having marked the spot where it oc-
Cured upon his return stopped the train
and knew what had caused that momentary
jolt, knew that a mans lie had, in that
second, passed away.
The body was picked up placed in a truck,
taken to the Munich station, and thence to
the place appointed for the reception of the
bodies of unknown men who meet with sud
den or violent death

The Smallest Ever Born.

New YORK Dec. 3l.-Mrs. Charles Tracy, of
hlnsbrldge, on Monday last gave birth to male
child that promises to be a wonderful addition
to the world of dwarfs and midgets 1t weighs
exactly eleven ounces, and is but six inches
long, but as full of life and gifted with as much
lung power as is usually found in babies of a
well-developed. and the three children born to
them before the present youngster were of the
regulation size.
The surprised parents and the attending physi-
clan are unable to account for the strange freak
OF nature The baby's body could be circled bv
fourteen-yearol child's thumb and index finger
The head, perfectly formed, is about the size of
a crab-apple. It's mouth is so small that it is
unable to partake of its natural nourishment
and it takes its milk through small nipple, the
size of straw. attached to small glass bottle

FRANCE AND CHINA.

Probability of Speedy Declaration of War
A New Complication.
LONDON. Dec. 3l.-The Pail Mall Gazette
says France contemplates issuing a large loan
JAM o. Unless Premier Ferry shall speed
liy settle tie Tonquin difficulty France will then
oeclare war on China, in order to avoid compli-
cations arising from its present anomalous DO
sition in the East
The Gazette also says: ''It is beliryed there
is constant violation of the foreign enlistment
act at Hong Kong This comes about through
the powerful local interest of traders and arti-
sans, who make large profits by supplying and
repairing French men-of-war. The authorities
are unable to enforce the law"
Private dispatches received by mercantile
houses in London from their correspondents in
China indicate that grave danger is impending
which may involve several of the European pow
ers in the Franco Chinese quarrel According
to these dispatches, the Canton officials are fear
fully incensed at the action of the English
authorities in allowing the coalug repairing and
revictualing of French men of war at the English
port of Hong Kong. The English Governor of
the island of Hong Kong maintains that
as long as France las not declared
war against China, the vessels of France
have good right to put into the port Of Vic
toria as those of China and. as their reftting
makes trade good in the city, he does not pro
pose to stopiL The Chinese officials have now
decided that if the Victorians continue to give
aid and comfort to the enemy they will retaliate
by prohibiting the expectation of provisions
from the main land to the island of Hong Kong
Two French ships have gone to Corca. There
are no blockading ships at Taiwan on the south

that port is unobstructed. Blockade running

A Protest from Victoria Against Ethe InactiOn
of the Home Government.

A Protest from Victoria Against Ethe Inaction
Of the Home Government
MELBoURNE, Dec 31.--James Service, Primo
Minister of the Colony, has sent the Governor of
Victoria note recounting the assurances of the
imperial government that a settlement by any
foreign power in New Guinea was impracticable
and would be regarded as an unfavorable act
I'm consequence of these assurances the Pre-
mer says, 'the colonists confded in the govern
ment and expected that it would protect their
inhesests, 1t is only Just to suppose that the
Germans annexed the territory without the
knowledge of the government The eolonists
are indignant that, while forbidden to act them
selves, the governmeZt should allow Germany
to step in.o
The Premier and the Governor have sent tele-
gram to Earl Derby, the imperial colonial Sec
retary, urging him to telegraph authority to
australia th to take the necessary steps to secure
the Islands remaining, and conveying vigorous
of the imperial government
