CHAPTER XVI.

A sweeping lawn; broad terraces; far away as the eye can see a gleaming, swaying ocean. Behind the lawn back ground of giant frs that blot out the sky in that direction, and throw into brilliant relief tho white clad figures darting to and fro upon the tennis ground.
 Gerald Massareene, having lost his game, filings his racket to the winds, and throws himself prone at the feet of Na- dine Roche.

 sNo."
 She brightens up with an effort and smiles at him in her kindest fashion. Her thoughts are tangled-her mind per turbed. Both are far from the busy scene before her. A sense of despair, of inability to move in the path thaG stretched out so temptingly to her view: has saddened her eyes and given C mournful curve. to her beautiful mouth. Her days passed here with Maurice Duran have been infinitely sweeter to her than ever she had dreamed they might be. The very nearness of their companionship had had it's charm, and though no word of love had come from his lips, still, eyes can speak when words are forbidden; and though honor renders one dumb, who can prevent the sense of gladness that comes with the touch of enc beloved?
 Sweet daysl too sweet to last-and swift as sweet. A whole fortnight has gone by-two weeks crowded with such exquisite recollections as will (unhap- oily cling to her for all her life. And now it is the 16th-to- morrow will be the night of the grand ball, given in honor of Capt. Boyle's birthday, who is expected to arrive about an hour before 1t opens, and then Another cruelty blissful week, perhaps, and after that a return to town. and-a hurried wedding! Then exile from all that has made life not only endurable but perfect.
 Sometimes a thought of Paul Annerley has crossed her mind, but, as a rule, she has resolutely put all remembrance or him far from her. She had told herself that this one holiday at least should be her own. Afterward let oblivion, let mis- cry come, but just for these few happy days she would let utter Joy hold sway She had heard nothing of her future nus band since her departure, ana IT aI ulmes it had occurred to her as strange that he had not; written to her from those for eign cities, whither his search of the rob Der of the famous sapphires led him, the sense of relief in not having to write to him swallowed up all such wonder.

BY esTHE DUCHESS"

"M1llicent, darling,'' calls Lady Val worth, and Millicent, starting slightly, l turns to her, 'tyour little friend here has promised to come to me on the fifth. That is the lay on which you have de- clded, is it not?'' looking at Mrs. Brand. "Of course, my dear,' to Nadine, ssit will be nicer and more comfortable for you to travel with Mrs. Brand.''
 "Of course, says Mrs. Brand, and so the discussion ends. Nadine's conscience, whether satisfied or not, is forbidden further interference. All management in the affair has been taken out of her hands
 She is feeling depressed and rather nervous. Rising, as Millicent comes toward her, she bids soft but nasty adieu to Lady Valworth.
 "So soon, Nadine?" says Mrs Brand. "Why, Lady Valworth has not had time to grow accustomed even to your face yet. Could you not stay and dine? You so seldom come to us on an off day, one that is separate from your German, that should like to keep you tonight ''Yes, do stay, Nadine" entreats Milli- cent
 "You need not mind your gown, '' says Mrs. Brand. "There will be nobody but Capt. Boyle.''
 'sThank you Not tonight. Mamma would be uneasy if she did not know what had kept me,' returns Nadine, gently. She would another time have been delighted to stay, but now she longs only for the moment when she shall find herself alone, that she may think without interruption of this strange joy this happiness half fear-that has been offered to her.
 The entrance of other visitors checks further solicitations from Mrs. Brand and Millicent, and, pressing the latter's hand gently, she slips past her, and runs down the staircase into the hall.
 The sound of some one whistling as she reaches it attracts her attention. Look ing round, she sees young man, with his back turned to her, bending over a letter under the center lamp. Her foot step, light always, had been unheard upon the carpet of the stairs, but now, as it reaches the marble beneath, a faint click makes itself known. The young man, turning sharply, looks at her. He is standing exactly beneath the lamp, so that his face is distinctly visible. It is Paul Annerleyl

BASEBALL TALK.

Washington has fifteen players on the sal ary list.
 Kirby has not been very successful so far in the Southern league.
 New York was the first League club to play an errorless game.
 Nearly all the clubs of all associations now have their full quota of players.
 Young Staley, the pitcher of tEe St. Louis Western club, is very promising.
 Long John Reilly, of the Cincinnatis, is a bat fiend. He buys one every day or so.
 Kansas City evidently intends, to prove a stumbling block to prospective pennant win ners
 Young Clarkson bids fair to carry out his famous brothers prediction as to his ability. So far he has done excellent work in the box.
 Brooklyn has the three tallest and thinnest pitchers-Foutz, Caruthers and Terry-and Pittsburg the three fattest-McC Cormick, Henderson and Calvin.
 Jim Hart is quoted as saying that New York vii win the League pennant. He, however, couples it with very large "if' to proper management.

Not DISPOSED 10 Surrender,

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-There was gen.
eral surprise and rejoicing this morning
when 1t was found that General Sheridan
was still alive. Neither the doctors nor
the family expected this. About eight
this morning there were some signs Of
real Improvement. Through the day
and evening, up to ten O'Clock, he has
been comfortable. This has caused o
feeling of wonderful relief at the
house. It would probably be too strong
term to say that 1t had caused en-.
couragement. II the recurrence Of such
an attack as that of last Saturday can be
prevented until there has been further
gaining Of strength then there will be
ground for hope. As yet, confidence in any
pronounced rallying has not been restored.
His condition may properly be compared
to that Of soldier engaged In desperate
fight, who, up to q particular instant, has
not dropped dead.

RussrA's NEW RAILWAY.

the Future In Store?

~ florcos tho Heart OF Asla--What Hao
the Future in Store?
LONDON, May 29.-The great Russian
railway into the heart of Asia is at last
fact, and you can now 60 from London al
most to the boundary of the Chinese En-.
pire In twelve days. The immense STRAIT
egic and commercial Importance Of this
event is not indicated 1T all by anything
visible in the great London dailies. Each
contained small press dispatch yester-
day announcing the opening of the road but
no special article or editorial comment
appeared In any Of them. When one re-
members the great excitement that once
clustered around Merv, through which the
road passes, and now over Herat, and the
fact that the new road places the whole
Of the Russian army only five days dis
tant from Northern India and much near
er to Afghanistan, one Is inclined to be-
lieve that England's fits Of fear of Russia's
encroa achments are Of an intermittent and
epileptic character. From st. Petersburg
the new line runs through Moscow, wom-
mesh, Rostov and Vladi-Kavkas. Here the
route Is barred by the Caucasus range,
over which the line is not yet completed,
and you have to travel eighteen hours over
pass 5000 feet high, 1000 feet higher
than the st. Gothard and Simplon. With
scenery twice as wild as that of Switzer-
land, the Caucasus will be the great sum-
mer resort Of the future. On the other
side you take steamer at Baku, cross the
Caspian Sea to Ossoum Ada, where the
new line begins, and go a thousand miles
further through Kczil-Arvat, Geok-Tepe,
Askabad, Merv and Bokhara to Samar-
cand. The road is we'll built and
thoroughly equipped. The CONNER
cial Importance Of the new route Is
very great. The rich valley of the
Oxus, which is the Mississippi Of
Central Asia, now opened up, had no Eu.
ropean outlet before, save by caravan.
The resources Of this territory are OF all
kinds, mineral and agricultural, and all
are undeveloped. The effect on civiliza-
tion OF the new limo can better be imagined
than described, considering the fact that
all the great mechanical advances and the
highest civilization of the nineteenth cen.
tury will now be carried in barbaric Asia.
The effect upon school biographies is not
to be even surmsed
