CHAPTER III.

The rising wind, which had ridden
much faster than Mistress Thankful, had
increased to a gale by the time it reached
Morristown. 1t swept through the leafess
NAPLES and ratified the dry bones Of the
elms. 1t whistled through the quiet Pres
! byterian churchyard, as If trying to arouse
the sleepers it had known in days gone by.
It shook the blank, luSterless windows ol
the Assembly ToOMso over the FrfemasonS'
tavern and wrought in their gusty curtains
moving shadows of those amply petticoated
danes and tightly hosed cavaliers who had
swung in 'Sir Roger or jigged in "Mony
| Musk the night before.
But | fancy 1t was around the isolated
Ford mansion" better known as the
Headquarters" that the wind shreaked
its grulesque rage. 1t howled under its
scant caves, il y under its bleak porch,
il tweaked the peak Of its front gable, ii
| whistled through every chink and Granny
of its square, solid unpicturesque struc-
/ ture. Situated on a hillside that descended
rapidly to the Whippany river, every sum
mer zephyr that whispered through the
porches Of the MOrristOSp farm houses
| charged as a S:if breeze upon the swinging
hall doors and windows OF the Fond man
| sion" every wintry wind became q gale
| that threatened its security. The sentry
who PACED before its front porch knew
from experience when to lipger under it,
len and adjust his threadbare outer coat TO
the bitter north wind.
Within the house something Of this
cheerlessneSS prevailed. 1t had IN aScetic
gloom, which the scant freight of the re-
Ception room and the dying emhers on the
dining room hearth failed to dissipate.
The central hall was broad, and furnished
plainly with 3 few rush bottomed chairs,
on one of which half dozed a black body
servant Of the Communicated chief. Two
officers in the dining room, drawn close by
the chimney corner, chatted III undertones
as if mindful that the door Of the drawing
room was open, and their voices might
break in upon its sacred privacy. The
swinging light in the hall PARTLY illumi-
mated it. or rather glanced gloomily from
the black polished furniture, the lasterless
chairs, the quaint cabinet, the silent
spinet, the skeleton legged center table,
and finally upon the InOtionless figure of
a man seated by the fire.
1t was 8 figure since 90 well known to
the civilized word, since so celebrated III
print end painting, as to need no descrip-
ton here. It's rare combination of gentle
dignity with profound force, of set reso-
luteness OF purpose with q philosophical
patience, have been so frequently delivered
to a people not particularly remarkable for
these qualities, that fear it has too often
provoked a spirit of playful aggression, in
which the deeper underlying meaning was

how we have entertained both"
"Your father, Mistress Thankful, said
Mai. Van Zandt grayely, has long been
suspected Of fayOring the enemy; but 1t mas
been the policy of the commsnder-in-chlei
to overlook the political preferences OF non
eombatants, and 10 strive TO win their al
legiance 10 the good cause by liberal
privileges. But when it wss lately DIS
covered that two strangers, although bear
ing a pass from him, have been t~requenters
Of this house under fictitious names"-

Baron Pomposo," said Thankful quickly

''Dear Mistress Thankful" said the
major with a profound bow aud smile,
that, spite of its courtesy, drove Thankful
10 the verge OF wrathful Mysteries, IF you
establish that faet-and, from this slight
acquaintance with your charms, l doubt
not you wlll-your father is safe from
further inquiry or detention. The com
mander-in-chief is a gentleman who has
never moderated the influence Of your sex,
nor held himself aversc to its fascinations. T."
What is the name OF this informer?'
broke III Mistress Thankful angrlly.
who is it that has dared"-
at is but kings evidence, mayhap,
Mistress Thankful; for the informer is him
self under arrest. 1t is on the information
Of Capt. Allan Brewster, OF the connecticut
contingent"
Mistress Thankful w~hitened, then flush
ed, and then whitened again. Then she
stood up 10 the major.
ITS a lie-a eowardly lie!'
Mai. Van Zsndt bowed. Mistress Thank
ful flew IN stairs, and in another moment
swept back again into the o IN riding
hat and habit. .
II suppose can 20 and see--my father, y
abe said, without lifting her eyes to the
officer.
''You are as free as the air, Mistress
Thankful. My orders and instructions,
lar from duplicating you IN your iatners
| Offsnses, do not even suggest your existence.
| Let me help you to your horse"
The girl did not reply. During that
brief interval, however, Caesar had saddled
her white mare and brought 1t to the door.
Mistress Thankful, d~isdaining the offered
hand of the major, sprang to the saddle.
The major still held the reins. One
moment, Mistress Thankful"
LET NE gOn' she said, with suppressed
passion.
"One moment, | beg"
His hand still held her bride rein. Tit
mare reared, nearly upsetting her. Grim
son with rage and modification, sue raised
her riding whip and LAID it smartly oYeI
the face OF the man before her.
He dropped the rein Instantly. Then
h. raised to her a face calm aud coIorless,
but for q red line extending from his eye

The Country'Iaid's Precious Ticket.

The Country Maids Precious Ticket.
ri tsbur0 Prtss.
A very pretty little country maiden was
just in the act of boarding a train at the
Union station this morning when n Penn
sylvania Railroad brakeman stretched forty
his strong right arm and said:
PLEASE let me see your ticket"
The lady turned red IN the face, and,
with an innocent smile, answered:
81 don't like tO-but-but-l have a
ticket, SIR"
well, well; you must LEI me see your
ticket, aud don't keep other passengers
waiting" remarked the brakeman, a little
impatiently. The young lady placed her
foot on the step of the car and drew out
from one of her black hose a coupon ticket
almost q halt yard long
There it is, sir" said she, with talter-
ing voice.
The brakeman gave the ticket a hssty
glance, assisted the young woman to the
car platform, raised his hat in a polite
bow, and was left TO blush alone, while the
other railroad boys laughed at his expense.
81 was a brute" he said.

PEPITA.

Frank Dempar Sherman in The Century.
Up in her balcony where
Vines through the lattices run
Splitting a scent on the air,
Setting a screen 10 the sun,
Fair as the morning is fair,
Sweet as a blossom is sweet,
Dwells in her rosy retreat
Pepits.
Often a glimpse of her face
When the wind rustles the vine
Parting the leaves for a space
Gladdens this window of mine
Pink in its leafy embrace,
Pink as the morning is pink,
Sweet as a blossom / think
Pepita-
who dwell over the way
Watch where Pepita is hid
Safe from the glare of the day,
Like an eve under its lid;
Over and over / say
Name like the SOM OF q bird,
Melody shut in q word
"Pepita."
Look where the little leaves stir!
Look, the green curtains are drawn!
Thee in q bloSsomy blur
Breaks a diminutiye dawn;
Dawn and the pink face Of her,-
Name like a lisp Of the south,
Fit for O roses small mouth,

He Couldn't Understand Women.

huNbIs Ity IIWF''
There was a little incident On a cable
line car yesterday morning that made all
on board laugh. There was such a touch
of humor in it and so much human nature
that the mirth was as free and spontaneous
as the ripping murmur of a brook. The
car had Just stopped at the Priests of Pallas
Hall and q large, genial-faced, jovial kind
of a man assisted a lady to alight. AS the
car started again he rather earnestly re-
marked:
Now there goes NY wife to hear Sam
Jones tell her Of her faults" Then after

tell her OF them at home there is a terrible
racket. | can't understand women,

hibits for a period of twenty years the entry
of all Chinese, save government officials,
teachers, merchants, students and travellers
for pleasure, and it further stipulates that no
Chinese now here, if they go home, shall
come back unless they can establish the fact
that they have left here a wife, a child, a
parent, or property to the value of thous-
and dollars. This is the agreement which
the treaty makes between China and the
United States. But if the Chinese choose to
leave from The British port Of Hong Kong
if they choose to come to British Columbia
aud smuggle themselves across the border,
or if they show their accustomed aptitude
for establishing" the facts of family or
property necessary to admit Them the treaty
cannot prevent them. The Post estimates
that six Thousand Chinese come into the
country year by way of British Columbia
alone. Mr.. Bayard's treaty may settle some
points of doubtful construction in our rela-
tions with China; that it will completely
shut out the Chinese is not probable.
