CHAPTER XXI.
TOGETHER.

For perhaps the first time in all the
twenty-five years OF her life, there was
apparent in Nancy Earles behavior spice
of that daredevil, headstrong self will
which had sent her younger brother to
his ruini And having made up her mind
to 60 out to Calcutta, and yet further, to
reach her Beautiful Jim's side if he didn t
happen to be there, she did not let the
grass grow under her feet, but set about
making her preparations at once for the
journey.
In vain did Sir George St. Leger repre-
sent to her that for young unmarried
lady of great personal attractions to un-
dertake so long and so formidable jour
ney was very, very serious matter-that
the world would look upon such a pro-
ceeding as altogether out of the common,
and
"But it is out of the common" said
Nancy, looking straight at him with her
wonderful, clear doves eyes. II am 60
ing to be married to Mr.. Beresford very
soon, and he has been very severely
wounded He must have the most dire
need of me-"
"But people will think it altogether so
odd," the little man persisted.
''The Earles have never troubled them
selves much about what people might
think, said Nancy. rather proudly. "As to
my going ont there, | know he would ap.
prove of that sand besides. you know,
am not going out to strangers Mrs. Se-
ton is in Calcutta, and am going straight
to her."
"But supposing she has left it when you
get thereS'
81 shall telegraph to her at once II
she has to leave before l get there she
will have made the way smooth for me.
never fear"
Then Sir George gave up the conflict,
seeing that Nancy was proving herself to
be real chip of the old Earle block, and
that he was but wasting his breath in
arguing with her.
II might be walking down the street, "
she cried. land chimney pot might fall
ON my head and crack it; or might miss
my footing at the top of the stairs and
tumble down and break my neck; OF ]
might" with sudden change Of tone,
II might stop here and eat my heart out.
and he might diewithout seeing me--and
oh! Mr.. Moore, don't try TO keep me;
should go right out Of my mind if any
thing like that were to happen"
So she won the dav and ra'pdAd hAr

point, and the preparations for the jour
her maid, who had been with her three
years and was very steady. reliable kind
of woman, well accustomed to travelling,
and also to keep Darby, who had been her
fathers valet for something like four
times that period. With her own woman
and with Darby she would, she knew, be
more safe and also travel in greater COM
fort than with half dozen fine society
ladies to do chaperon. And, moreover,
she gave a thought to the journey back
and to the comfort and help that Darby
would be to her Beautiful Jim on the yoy-
age home. And with such indomitable
energy did she work that by the time the
very next p. and 0. steamer went out to
the shining East, she was on board, feel
ing, it is true, a little more lonely than she
would for all the world have admitted to
the group Of friends who had gone to see
her oH-waving a rather fearful farewell
to them and her native shores.
But that was feeling which very soon
passed off. The novelty of her surround
ings was good for such sad thoughts as
hers necessarily were, and though in a
general way an unusually good sailor, she
began, after few hours, to feel certain
very uncomfortable sort of qualms, which
sent her off to her berth without any de-
sire to spend more time gazing at the fast
receding shores of her own country And
after that she lived the ordinary life on
ship board, coming in for a large share of
admiration and attention in spite of the
fact, which soon became known among
the passengers, that she was engaged to
be married to man in the Blankshire
regiment, who had been badly wounded in
an affair with the Dacoits in Burmah, and
that she was going to Calcutta, and pos
sibly even further, to nurse him.
They knew, too, that her brother had
been killed in the same affair, and that
her father had died about the same time
that she was great heiress and the
last Of her name. And they all said, men
and women alike, that the fellow in the
the Blankshire regiment was just the very
luckiest man who had ever been born, if,
indeed, he had not been SO unfortunate
as to die of his wound.
There was qufcc + wave of excitement
on board when at Suez teograln from
Calcutta was brought on for Miss Earle,
who, poor girl, had hardly courage enough
to open it. 1t was short, but ineXpressibly
sweet:
''Jim much better-on his way here
''SEToN."
Nancy tried hard to laugh over the good
news, and yer: nearly succeeded in break
ing down into storm of tears, the relief
was so great. Then some one called out
"Three cheers for Jim-long life to him!"
and straightway three rousing shouts
went up for the hero they had never seen;
and his lovely sweetheart. in spite of q
certain dewiness about her doves eyes,
managed to turn the threatened outburst
into smiles after ALI
Strangely enough, the journey did not
seem particularly long to her, nor the
time half so wearisome as sitting at
home waiting for Jims return would have
been. There was sense of doing some

diabolical arrangement called q stomach.
The stomach is the reservoir from which
every fibre and tissue must be nourished,
and any trouble with it issoon felt through
out the whole system. Among dozen
dyspeptics no two will have the Same pre-

mental power and a bilious temperament
are subject to Sick Headache; those,

are wonderfully forgetful; others have
great irritability of temper.

I ANUMBER Of middle aged citizens OF
( Richmond will remember that yester-
! day was the twenty.iifth anniversary
Of the hottest day that the Confederate
soldier ever saw, as far as a combina-
ton Of the weather and mans power
could work up the temperature. The
remarkable battle Of the Crater opened
at daybrosk with the terrific explosion Of
the mine that shook the earth and
echoed TO the heavens and back again.
Appalled, by the sudden stroke and
the destruction Of the battery and
part of the South Carolina Brigade that
were blown in the air, the Confederates
staggered back for a while and the
Federal troops charged and took
the salient. The Federals pressed
into the broken line, but the
COnfederates recovered themselves
quickly and there ensued one
Of the most desperate fights Of the
war There have been critical discus
sions about this famous passage-at-arms, |
and IL 30 whom was due the credit /
OF restoring the lost battle. We are /
not writing history, and only celebrate
the anniversary with one point Of fact
which We can vOuch for, aud that is
that the Richmond Otey Battery, com
manded by Captain David Walker, had
a good part Of the work, and did it
well. The Richmond boys not only
worked their own guns, but manned a
gun Of another battery that did some Of
the best work Of the day.
All Virginians will be glad to remem-
Der how that knightly soldier, Colonel
John Haskill, Of South Carolina, distin-
;uished himself that day, as he always
lid when the opportunity offered.

WE must stTaighten the lines before
we can meet the Malone Republicans
in the coming combat: and we say Ma
hone Republicans, because the local
adaptability of the term will signify TO
al Democrats what a personality means
that carries the horns and forked tail If
the devil so far as political power can
mean mischief. We cannot cOquet with
the positive principles of the Democra.
tic party when the enemy displays his
flag and flaunts it at MS with a challenge
to discuss the merits of High Protective
Tariff. For the first time we are forced
absolutely on the issue, and to straddlc
the thing or make a sec.saw will be to
throw a boomerang.
The whole country communities of
Virginia from tho teachings OF Demo-
cratic traditions know that taxes should
. be to support the government.
In the cities and along certain min
ing districts the Republicans may sue
coed in planting crop Of tare, in the
shape OF Protection Of labor circulars
but we viii be prepared to meet thsil
tricks with figures that are more clio |
quont than the romance Of the Carna- I
gies who cry ont for American labor and /
then stab it,
We propose to show to the people .
when the canvass opens that the out
rage of high protective tariff means to
double the pricoo Of the necessary iei-
Giles of everyday life and at the same
time cut oil the American mechanic
from the privilege of working for the
markets of the whole world.
The politicians and monopolists tax
clothes, from the shoes and socks up TO
the man hat, and they call this protoc-
ton of American labor. but there is no
excuse for such taxes when We have
over SlOO,OOO,OOO surplus revenue.
After making the citizen pay this
tribute to an aristocratic privileged
class Of manufacturers, who exclude
foreign products, they add insult to IN
jury by denying the American work
men the privilege Of having raw
materials at the prices that other coun-
tries pay for them.
Hence we may say that the Repub-
lican party makes a Robinson Crusoe
Island Of this country and cuts it on
from fair trade relations with the rest
Of the world.

An exchange remarks that Senator
Daniel laughs lightly at the Republican
reunion ln Virginia. Senator DAME
needs TO tread softly. He may vet fad
himself IN political lion S den, with a
painful and very evident absence OF
any such influence as was oxerted iu
behalf of his prophetic namesake some
thousands Of years ag0.-PhHadelphio
Press
The Press makes q mistake about the
hon S den.
Daniel gathered the whole Malone
nanagerie when he captured Malone s
sent in the Senate, and in the same
year Of our Lord, 1855, and Lee was
Governor, tho report went forth that
the pretended Malone lion was only an
ass, and he certainly sot the
skin taken OF and hung up to
dry. When the Malone Republicans
want 20 thy that Daniel-Lion story they
would be wise to think on the way the
Democrats intend TO monkey their
Dragging pretences just as We did the
Malone duelists who swore deep oaths
that they would make worm S meat Of
any body who called them thieves.
They were all called thieves, and the
men who are the authors of the no.
menclature still live To do the same
thing for the pack of scoundrels and
political cracksmen who attempt to sell
their State 20 the Radicals and pocket
the price Of their treason.
