From the tenor OF our dispatches from
London it 3 clear that Mother England is
kind-a.sorler cuddling up to her son
Jonathan, with view TO make common
cause with him at Samoa. The old wom-
an has always had a wcll-deGned colonial
policy, Of which she has been very
jealous, and, say what her diplomats and
newspapers may, has viewed this sud
den desire for colonies upon the part
Of Germany with alarm. She has feared
all along that it would bring her in con
llct with that power, now 80 ambitious Of
dynastic supremacyy The Zanzibar affair
made her vince, but she made the best
she could OF it by acquiescenco and
makinga joint affair OF the attempt TO
suppress the slave trade. In the Pacific
she had previously been much slower
slower than her Australian colonies
desired. They protested against the French
making Judgments in the New llebridics
for convict purposes and they have never
taken kindly 10 the Germans having any
thing to do with the protection OF Samoa.
Bet they will no doubt be compensated Tor
this when they learn that the first dose Of
German arbitmrincss has aroused her TO
action and she has concluded TO stand
by their elder Brother Jonathan, who in q
fair aud square way proposes TO make Ger

claimed, betraying his own hatred.
'sThen he Is your enemy as well3 You
will understand how I hate him!' Shc

II shocked you by saying moment ago
that could kill him; but, II you could
feel what il is to bo woman, persecuted
by such man as that, you would take

Her terrible excitement impaired an
additional beauty TO her face that daz-
zled him, and he understood what she
meant by "Go-for-him Toms" persecu-
tion. The hot blood flew to his face at
this infamous presumption. He would
have shot Tom Cairnes down "like
dog" that very instant. Perhaps she un-
derstood something Of the feeling she had
aroused In him, for she flushed, and, the
fierce, angry light fading from her eyes,
she looked up at him with the half
shamed, half shy appeal Of q woman who
feels the need of, and is grateful for, the
protection of strong man.
Being man, he found her oven more
beautiful in this new mood than In the
other.
LET US have something to eat" he said
abruptly, his voice considerably affected
by this fresh influence. 1twas prosai,
expression for such an occasion, but he
felt he must say something. After all,
he could think of nothing more appropri.

He took her IN his arms and kissed her.
"You need not trouble your little head
about that! I'll come back safo and
sound, to worry your uncle into giving
you to n pauper younger son. Who
knows-perhaps shall strike 'ile' on
let me sce--Deadman's Flat, isn't itr I'll
start this afternoon. l might DO able to
marry you In a months time"
He found 1t difficult task to quiet
her, for she felt sho was In danger now
of losing her lover and her brother too.
II was very discQnsolate fearful eyed
little specimen of girlhood that tho Hon.
Jack Newenham left behind him half an
hour later.
He secured Mr.. Thomas Cairnes' letter
"A highly classical efrusion, for that
gentleman had once taken high honors
in an English university. In neatly
rounded sentences no announced his in
tention, unless certain sum was forth
coming Immediately, OF giving to tho
world tho secret of Mr.. Redfern Chur-
chill's flight from civilized regions, and
concluded by kindly promising to let
Miss Churchill know Immediately on the
receipt Of her answer, where sho could
send the money.
Jack Newenham, in COMMON with
most people in their own set in New York,
knew that Redfern Churchill had made
his exit from society in very discredita-
bic circumstances; but ho did not know
tho rights OF tho case. Even the scape-
grace's own sisters did not know all, and
it was whispered that other people, whose
position was unassailable, were also i'm
plicated, and that as much for their sake
as his own Redfern Churchill had been
allowed to escape, to prevent the risk Of
certain facts being made public in the
course Of n prosecution. As all who
knew of Redfern Churchilrs where
abouts had good reasons for keeping the
secret, there was every chance of the
young mans being left in peace.
That same afternoon, tho Hon. Jack
Newenham started for Deadman's Flat.
II was about weeks journey from New
York, and he felt considerably depressed
at the thosght of leaving his poor littlo
love alone in her anxiety and trouble.
The only thing that cheerod him was tho
immediate prospect of taking Mr.. Thomas
Cairnes by the throat and shaking out Of
him the power 10 compose any more OF
those classical epistles.

"TH tell you II you piH sit down."
at would perhaps look a little con-
spicuous," admitted tho young man, re.
luctantly retiring TO chair at the side
Of the great table. "But it is beastly
shame all the same! Why can't hus-
band and wife sit where they likeT'
''But we aren't husband and wife yet"
"Just as good. tell you shall sit
where like at our tablo when we are!"
"And l tell you, sir, that won't have
the symmetry spoilt, nor will be made
ridiculous. Fancy the husband and wife
sitting close by each other at the top Of
great dining table!'
That's how it ought to be--not acres
of table cloth betwecnl But what were
you crying for?"
She blushed, and her face became
grave again. she did not like TO allude TO
the subject Of her grief. She knew, or
rather felt, that this young English aris-
tocrat, who loved her SO well, was yet SO
proud, with all the long inherited pride
Of great and honorable family, that he
felt bitterly tho annoyance and shame
that had been brought upon her by the
brother she had been crying over.
LUIS piotHcT was u young ulan, whose
reckless fast living had made him the
talk Of New York. He had betted and
gambled and at last disappeared, after
being guilty Of shameful transaction,
which, for the sake of his connections,
had been hushed up. He was now an
outcast from decent society. The only
news they had ever had of him since his
flight had come through man whose
friendship would have stamped any one
with disgrace. He had been one of this
brothers principal associates, and the
very fact Of their still being friends
proved that Redfern Churchill was not
improving in adversely.
1T Is about Redfern, she said timidly,
not daring to look at her lover.
II was well she did not, for the Hon.
Jack Newenham's brow contracted as
he applied himself with some energy
TO the contents of his plate, although he
answered her immediately in his usual
tone.
ANY more bad news;" he asked, de-
voutly hoping that he was about to hear
that Redfern Churchill had been shot in
some drunken brawl out west.
Il am afraid il is," she replied. her

CHAPTER IX.

The crowd Of men who has assembled
TO see the last rites performed over the
body of their late townsman turned away
from his grave on the edge Of the pine
forest, discussing on their way back to
Deadman's Flat the reason of the murder
and the probability Of the discovery Of
the murderer. Go-for-him Tom must
have been dead some days when he was
found--so his fellow townsnen surmised,
for he wasrecognizableo only by the clothes
he wore. His death was n mystery.
Though two or three OF his acquaintance
in the town were known 10 hate him, his
murder could not bo brought home 10
any of them. Most of his fellow towns
men felt that he quite deserved his fate;
but the lawlcss acts of crime and violence
which had become SO oalarmingly frequent
among them made them all decide that
the murderer in this case should be found
and made an example of,
A committee was formed TO discuss
the matter, and, after leaving the grave,
these men repaired TO the Red Uuicora."

CHAPTER III.

In ono OF tho rooms OF q handsome
house in New York a dainty luncheon
was set out, tho table being rcsplendent
with polished glass, silver and luxuriant
flowers. The men servants had Just left
the room, dismissed by tho girl who sat
alono at tho head Of tho table. Her
dress was costly and beautiful, like
everything else In the room; her face
was refined and pretty, too; but it looked
very troubled, and tho tears that gath
cred slowly in her eyes and fell upon her
folded hands showed tho reason for her
wishing to be alone.
II was hateful to have to sit there TO
mako pretense Of eating when her
heart was aching, and she felt that every
mouthful would choke her. Tho old
uncle with whom shc lived, though Law.
ishing every luxury upon her, was
stern martinez and would have thought
that tho ordcrliness Of his household was
In danger Of being disturbed II his niece
did not sit down every day at the same
hour to tho bountiful rcpasts laid out in
the grand dining room. The only excuse
he ever allowed was when sho visited in
tho fashionable world to which they be-
longcd.
While Miss Violet Churchill's cheeks
were still wet with tears, tho butler
opened the door and 5olemnly announced
q visitor, disappearing rapidly with
much discretion, out Of consideration to
the visitor.
II was young man, who, ON seeing
Miss Violets fearful condition, darted
forward, and caught her in his arms
almost befcre tho discreet butler could
close the door.
my darling, what Is It? Has that

A contented sigh from the girl stopped
tho food Of cpithets he was beginning TO
pour upon the old mans head.
Don't, please, JackT She looked up
at him as she nestled on his breast.
Hes very good-really lly-only"-
"Wcll, then. what is it?'-gazing anx-
iously down at her as sho energetically
dabbcd her eyes with the smallest and
flimsiest of pocket handkerchiefs. THAT
thing is no good-you want a towel"
"Oh, indeed, haven't been crying
very much, only was lonely u little,

children are away, and"----

young man wrnthfully. "But what were

chair close to hers. at wouldn't look

showed how much her spirits were i'm
