 "Brave girlr'
 "Yes, dare say she is; but not very polite. Her treatment drove the French man to distraction, for he is q man of strong passions, and, what with whisky and what with disappointment, he is now little better than raving lunatic. Why, this morning while I was away from homo he terrified Kate half out of her wits by swearing that his love was turned to hate, and that he would be avenged on her. I am positively alarmed for her safety, and if I can only como across him mean to stick to him till the delirium of bad whisky and evil pas sions is out of him.''
 "Wcll, don't let me dctain you, then. If I come across him l will have him in irons before he can say Jack Robinson. By the bye, was just going to see your father"
 "Oh, Pm glad of that. The house is on the right, at the top of tho hill-big, old tumble-doh7n place-was a boarding house, but tho rats and mice and Frobishams have 1t all to themselves now.''
 Harry had no difficulty ill finding the house, dingy mansion which had evidently seen better days, but which now with bhnd- less una SnaCLefeQ WlndOWS ana battered walls, looked indeed q cheerless abode.
 Dismounting and throwing the bridle of his horse to his orderly, he climbed the stone steps and knocked at the door. There was no answer Again and again he re- peated the blows till he could hear their echoes reverberating through the dismal rooms, and was about to retire with the bit ter feeling that some member of the family had seen him-perhaps Kate herself-and refused to grant him admission, when he thought he heard a cry-ycs, he was sure of it-a woman's voice calling for help. With out pausing to listen twice, he flung him. self with fury on the door, and to his joy the rusted iron lock gave way, so, calling to the orderly to tic up his horses and follow him, he dashed into the interior of the house. The lower rooms were silent, but from the second or third floor came the sound of scutfling and angry voices.
 "Help, help! For the love of Heas en, help'' reached him in tones that gave wings to his feet.
 He was just in time. Over tho prostratc form of Kate Frobisham, his eyes rolling in frenzy, his hand clutching her white throat, stood Alphonse Lecroix.
 With bound Harry fell upon him and dashed him to the floor, where for moment he lay painting and glaring like some wild

 animal; then, with the strength of madness, he flung Winthrop from him, and hurling aside the orderly who had now come to his officers aid crashed through the easement of the window and fell with a dull crash upon the pavement fifty feet below "Oh, Harry, Harryy" Kate sobbed, as she threw her white arms around his neck and hung quivering to him.
 He pushed back the long black hair from her brow and kissed her upraised face.
 "You are safe, my sweetv' he cried, ex- ultingly. ''Thank God, came in timep' "But you must go," she moaned, drawing gently from his embrace; "yes, you must go." Then, as though waking from dream, she cried: "How could be so thoughtless Quick! Harry, to the aid of my father and mother! They are somewhere in the lower part of the house. and I know not what harm they rQay have suffered. Oh! do not delay one moment, but speed to their as- sistance."
 Harry hurried away at her bidding. For time he could not find a trace of any other inmate of the house, but at last heard voices
 behind door at the end of long passage, at the extreme rear of the building.
 Without ceremony, Harry opened the door, and found himself in 0 small apart ment face to face with an elderly lady and gentleman, who, all unconscious of the trag-
 edy, were engaged in reading and destroy ing old letters, a pile of which lay on the table beside them. Though he had never
 seen Kate's parents, he knew that he was in their presence. The crutches by the
 mans chair and the bandaged stumps of legs identified him, while the shell-like complexion and delicate features of tho
 lady brought to his mind the descriptions
 his mother had SO often given him of Mrs Frobisham.
 "Well, sir," said the gentleman, flushing angrily, this is a strange way of intruding into an apartment of g private house; but

CHAPTER XIV.


 Then came ono last unspeakably grand war-pageant, fit finale to the terrible five years tragedy-the review of Grants and Sherman's warriors at Washington before President Johnson and his Cabinet.
 For twelve hours this triumphal process sion, forty miles long, in solid columns, rolled through the broad avenues of the capital, with tattered flags flying and drums beating. The world has seen before gor- geous military displays, flashing with the pomp of war, but never surely did mans eye rest on scene of such thrilling grand eur as the endless march of those dust stained ,weather-beaten men, who had in the blind devotion of pure patriotism dared and done so much for Fatherland. The very air was oppressive, as though responding to the deep emotion of the crowds who saw them pass. Greybeards wept, and sobbing wo- men held up their little ones to gaze upon tho solid ranks, that they might tell their children's children they had seen the sayiors of their country.
 Within six months all that mighty host had returned home to the tranquil pursuits of civil life. Nations looked on in wonder as they saw the disbanding of the immense armies without the disorder and anarchy they had prophesied. Surely no greater proof was ever given the world of the sta- bility of a republican government.
 Now, it chanced one day that Harry, ,eman- cipated from the thraldom of duty, was strolling along the streets of Washington, purchasing in the crowded streets little souvenirs to take home to his dear ones on the bank of the St. Clair, when he encoun- tered Willie Mckenzie, walking with a fashily dressed young man, whose cheap hnery was in sharp contrast to the deJected, sullen look of his countenance. He was not recognized and followed the twain unob- served for some distance. Suddenly they stopped and he noticed Mckenzie give his companion roll of bills. He heard the young officers injunction as he paid the fellow the money: "Write mo from San Francisco, and remember this is your last chance; for by Heaven, Platt, if ever hear of your an- noying your mother and sister in person or by letter, will risk exposure and have you arrested''
 Without 8 word of thanks, the man slunk away, and Mckenzie turning down side street, Harry was left free to run down his quarry. What an insignificant little, vulgar cad the fellow was, and to think that such an apology for Q man should have poured out the ife-blood of big-hearted Frank Barclay.
 When Mckenzie was we'll out of sight, Winthrop quickened his pace, and, laying his hand on the fellows shoulder, said:
 "Mr. Platt, want you"
 Tho trembling wretch turned his white face on Harry in mild surprise.
 "Wh-a-t fort" was all he could find strength to gasp. He never for a moment doubted but that Winthrop was 8 de- tective, such towards does conscience make of us.

The above is the title of a delightful serial from the pen of Manda l.. Crocker, which will shortly appear in these columns. It is a story of English life mainly, though laid both in England and America. It is intense ly dramatic and so full of incident that the readers in. terest remains unabated to the closing lines of the last chapter.

Mr.. Bartine's Comments.

WA sHINGToN, Dec. 3rd.-Ar.
Bartine of Nevada, who will take a
strong place in the fight for silver
coinage, said today: "The Presi-
dents utterances on the Chinese
question are entirely satisfactory.
That part of the message which
treats of silver coinage will be ac-
ceptable to the mono metalists, who
will no doubt consider it great
triumph to prevent an increase OF
coinage.
1.-THE President assumes that'free
coinage would he dangerous, but it
is a mere a. stump ion. He admits,
however, thai the evils anticipated
from the present law have not been
realized, and this fact nearly de-
stroys the force of the predictions
of evil to follow from free coinage.
No one can tell to a certainty What
the effect of free coinage vii be I'M
till it is tried"

ALxal. LANDS.
A Scientists Suggestion Re-
garding it's RepreS sion.

Professor Hilgard, OF the Callfor-
MIA State University, thinks there is
90 cause for uneasiness so far as
the ultimate impression Of allzali is
concerned. His remedy, briefly
stated, is to use gypsum, 200 to
500 lbs TO the acre, to change black
Alkall to white alkali, and then
wash it out vi the soil by under
drainage, which he pronounces a
general and absolute cure fer alkeil-
He also points out that hardpan Is
the real cause OF loss in trees ana
vines, as the roots either starve or
drown after reaching the impervlous
stratum, and do not succumb to
excess of alkali. He thinks that
the time is not far distant when
under drainage of all irrigated lands
will be as generally adopted as it is
now IN the East, where experience
has shown that 1t pays to put what
are called "blind bitches" ia high
and dry lands.

There are some strange exper
fences of editors. Edward Colgan
editor of the Cum berland Gap, died
few weeks ago at marlborough
Ky. Eight years age, while report
ing for the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal, he wrote the following:
The June bug has gaudy wing,
The tightening bug has fame.
The bed bug has no wings at all,
But he gets there all the same.
The managing editor killed it.
Next day Mr.. Colgan gave it to Mr..
Padman the humorous paragraphist,
who printed it. 1t has gone the
rounds ever since and been read by
millions, who have thus been made
to know that Colgan lived, while the

sonality unknown to fame.
