CHAPTER THE. SECOND.

The first and the most vivid memory
OF anything that little Frank Trevor
ever had was the fishing village OF
Drayton-on-Sea; of the grand hills
guarding it and the great gray sea
bounding it. It always seemed to him
as if there were two other worlds be-
sides the one in which he lived, for
every day-nay, two or three times a
day-did not the train pass by Dray-
ton-on-Sea, coming from some I'M
known land behind, and rush by to
some unknown land beyond? He
watched it come and go with won
dering, Thoughtful face many a time,
and specialized on all the strange
things the whizzing engine had seen,
but he was quite content when it had
gone. Then there was the sea. He
nd his little sister spent half their

Men who are fond of horses-which
probably includes the majority oil
our readers-will be glad to read a
summary of the doings of the Arabs
on which the detachment OF the nine
tenth Hussars was mounted, who as
sisted in the expedition for the relief
ofKhartoum. They averaged ii hands
ranged from 8 to ~ years old, and
were bought in Syria and Lower Egypt
at an average price of Els. Ten per
cent O. them were at Tel-el- Kebir,
and half of them had gone through
the exhausting campaign in the east
ern Soudan. On December 3Oth 40
of them made the reconnaissance to
Gakdul, 100 miles, in SO hours, rest
ed there Is hours, and returned in So
hours, 6 of them doing the last so
miles in 7 1-2 hours. From January
9Th to the 10th 1876 officers and men,
with l55 horses, started across the
Bayuda desert with General Stewards
column. The average ration for th'
first ten days was to 9 pounds o
horses .did~oiA miles day. On thu
fnnal advance to Matammeh tn,
horses marched to the Nile without
having a drop of water for 25 hours
and only 1 pound of grain, and some
Is to 20 of them had no water fol
70 hours. The horses were saved al
much as possible; they were marched
in wide front, so that each horse
had plenty of air, and the men dis
mounted constantly and led theil
horses. The distance actually march
ed from point to point was 1, 500 miles
not including reconnoissances, etc!
and the late Colonel Barrow, who
sends this report, which Sir Frederick
Roberts has issued as general orde
to the Indian army, ventures to thinl
that this performance will com
pare with the performances OF any
horsemen on record.

Mrs. Brandleth rose, piteously

A telegram was sent off that noon
to tell Hugh Trevor that he would
find his wife and child where years be,
lore he had left them. And then they
waited with an Impotence and hap.

to bear, till that happy day should

And so the months went by, and
then suddenly some terrible news came
that made his mother wiring her hands
and rock to and fro in an agony OF

'ilon't cry, mother" he said, climb

no prospects, the pair prudently
got married on the sly, and trusted to

Luck betrayed the trust and never

worst description did; so they realized
all they had, and, after one unavail-
ing appeal to Mrs. Brandleth, deter
mined to leave the west Indies and seek
for better fortune in England.
~ should so like to see my old
friends again; yes do let us 60, Hugh,

Alice said, thinking wistfully of her
school days, and alittle bitterly ofthe
manner in which her tropical &C.
quaintance had cut her sinceh mar
riage. So with only 1900 in the world
they set out for England.

supposition when one considers that,
in the long run, disease and death are
never inconstant long together any
where.
"Let us 60 by the sea, then" plead
ed Alice; so they went to the Drayton-
on-Sea, small seaside place where
fsherfolk abounded, and where there
were hills around, with here and there
houses scattered about, all inhabited
by the probable patients of Hugh
Trevor's future.
There was no surgeon at Drayton-
on.Sea before Hugh Trevor went there,
but railroad came soon after they
settled there, and very soon after that
a surgeon-an older man, with long
experience-came and practiced more
tor love than fees, for he was well off,
and so the bright future the Trevors
were seeking was still far away.
"Oh, Hugh! what shall wedo?" poor
Alice said, looking up with troubled
eyes at her husband. Their second
child was just born, and their last
bank note just changed.
'Never mind, my darling" he said
bravely, "better days will come yet"

HIGH TREASON.

HIGH TREASON.
DEAR NEpHEw:-Your uncle is now engag
ed in making up a company to go to Camp
Greenwood, for the purpose of assisting the
troops, Governor and Legislature in starv-
ing the poor devils of miners. What right
have they to dictate terms to the Governor
and the law-making power of Kentucky!
Its exactly right to starve them, Did not
the God of Heaven intend that the large
fish should eat the minnows! There is no
use to make an arguemnt, the case is SO
plain. Its perfectly in accordance with
Justice that members of the Legislature, to-
gether with the officers of the State, should
receive five dollars per day, drink whisky,
visit craw and live high because they are
big fish. Your Uncle would advise the
Members, with the Governor, to eat all the
minnOws they may want at Greenwood; its
nothing but right that they should. But
enough of this. Your uncle is like the Dutch
man, when drawn up in line of battle: it
made him so mad that he had no control of
his muscle.
In all seriousness, the citizens are very
indignant at the treatment the miners re-
cieve. They say that justice demands bull
let's be shot at all who had hand in max
ing and executing the law, Castlemen and
his men excepted. Your Uncle Zeke, be-

Ore of the chief efforts of some fair Cath
olic friends is to find father confessor who
will not be too severe on the little failings OF
which they have TO accuse themselves. and
the following incident is true Of two of them,
whom l shall call Kitty and Polly. They
had gone ore evening to west side church,
where a good German father was reported to
be very easy on his penitents, und knelt out
aSe his box waiting their turn, and anon
wondering to each other if he would be found
"very hard"
1t happened that the penitent before them
was youth who was going through his first
experience, and not having very long story
to tell, was asked the usual question, "Was
that all2"
NO. father" said the boy, II did several
stunts"
"Stuntz, stuntz, my child, vat is dat
stuntzp
an show you, father" said the gamin,
and he bounced out of the box and proceeded
10 throw handspring in front'ol the startled
maidens, who after one glance at the unex-
pected proceeding, fed from the church, one
saying to the other;
"Well, Kitty, il that's the kind of penance
he gives we must go somewhere else. IA
