a small lantern which was strapped to his
groom's belt. There's parts of the road

raised the shade which guarded the light.
The wild lord coolly opened the letter and
read the few careless words which it con-

expect me back tomorrow to dinner at
o'clock. Yours, Arthur"
There was pause.

Lord said, partly to himself, partly to
Miles. He suspected the two new men

reported to their employers the hour at

THE STORY-FIRST PART.
CHAPTER THE SOUR FRENCH WINE

While the line to be taken by the new
railway between Culm and Everill was
still under discussion, the engineer caused
some difference of opinion among the
moneyed men who were the first Directors
of the company, by asking if they proposed
to include among their stations the little
old town of HoneybuzZard.
For years past commerce had declined
and population had decreased in the an
cient and curious place. Painters knew it
wei, and priced its medieval houses as a
mine of valuable material for their art.
Persons of cultivated tastes, who were in
terested in church architecture of the
fourteenth century, sometimes pleased and
fattered the rector by subscribing to his
fund for the restoration of the tower and
the removal of the accumulated rubbish
of hundreds of years from the crypt
Small spectators, not otherwise in state
of insanity, settled themselves in the town
and tried the desperate experiment of
opening a shop; spent their little capital,
put up the shutters and disappeared The
old market place still showed its list of
market-laws, issued by the Mayor and
Corporation. in the prosperous bygone
times. and eyerE Wee5 there were fewer

his embrace. At that moment they both
heard the crackle of breaking underwood
among the trees behind them. Lord Harry
looked round. This is dangerous place, !"
he whispered: Pm waiting to see Arthur
pass safely. Submit to be kissed, or l am
a dead man." His eyes told her that he
was truly and fearfully in earnest. Her
head sank on his bosom. AS he bent down
and kissed her, three men approached
from their hiding-place among the trees.
They had no doubt been watching him,
under orders from the murderous brother
hood to which they belonged. Their pis-
tolls were ready in their hands-and what
discovery had they made? There was the
brother who had been denounced as hav-
ing betrayed them, guilty of no worse
treason than meeting his sweetheart in a
woodl eve beg your pardon, my lord"
they cried, with a thoroughly Irish en-
joyment of their own discomfiture-and
burst into a roar of laughter-and left
the lovers together. For the second time,
Iris had saved Lord Harry at a crisis in
his life.

He held her to hin as if he would never
let her go again. ''Oh, my sweet, give me
a last chance. Help me to be better mani
You have only to will it, Iris, and to make
me worthy of YOU"
His arms suddenly trembled round her
and dropped. The silence was broken by
distant sound, like the report of shot.
He looked towards the further end of the
wood. In minute more the thump of a

and carrying an empty saddle. Lord
Harry rushed into the path and seized the
horse as it swerved at the sight of him.
There was a leather pocket attached to the
front of the saddle. ''Search itr' he cried
to Iris, forcing the terrified animal back
on its launches. She drew out a silver
traveling-fiask. One glance at the name

kept her behind the curtain: while interest
in Lord Harry detained her at the window

We admit that the Democrats have
had some difficulty in getting good men
to run for couple OF important. offices. 1t
is to their credit however that all the
men named for these positions have
been first class in every respect, and
have only refused to run for strong
business reasons, or, as in one instance,
because the gentleman named fell short
few months of having lived in this
senatorial district for one year,
although his residence before was just
across the line of the district. But
what shall we say of a Republican
party whose chief organ has refused to
print the full ticket in it's columns and
which is engaged in the delectable work
of denouncing one of its chief nominees.
This is of course only the commencement
OF the game with that paper. Later on it
will have to vindicate it's course in the
last state campaign by getting in it's
work on the legislative ticket.

MONDAY. OCTOBER IS. 1890.
THE ELECTRIC BELT VETO.

Mayor Hazard will send into the
council today his veto to the electric
railroad franchise. His message is very
closely considered protest against the
loose manner in which important street
railroad franchises have been granted in
the past, and he insists that hereafter
every such concession shall be thor
oughly guarded in the ordinance grant
ing it. The HERALD is on record pro-
testing against this franchise for some
of the reasons now advanced by the
mayor. We are giving away the rights
Of our streets years in advance Of the
time III which they can be utilized
by cars with profit to the grantees or
with any marked advantage to the pub
lie. We do not impugn the veracity of
the new organization, nor doubt that it
intends to do what it promises. But
the business way, and the safe way, is
for the community to place the limita-
tions of the grant and all the safeguards
which the public have a right to de-
mand in the ordinance itself.
We have another suggestion to make,
which this city ought to insist upon.
For the free use of our streets by rail-
road corporations the city should receive
compensation. Mayor Pond introduced
this feature into the street railroad
grants made while he was supervisor,
and now there is revenue received
from roads established since that time.
Other cities have also considered that
the municipality should receive per-
centage of the gross receipts or the net
profits of these roads. Why should not
Los Angeles? It is Of course late to in
sist upon the observance of this prin-
ciple in making concessions; but we
must begin sometime, and now that a
syndicate of capitalists are asking the
privilege of putting rails upon twenty
I three miles of streets is the proper time.
If we fail to do so now, all our streets
will be gone, and there will be no chance
ITO secure any revenue whatever from
these valuable franchises.
We believe with the mayor that street
railroad franchises should not be
granted in advance of the time of their
need. AS the population increases, and
the city spreads, this kind of accom-
mediation should be provided; but
not SO far in advance of its requirement
by the public as to leave portions o.
the city for years tied up with premature
franchises.
The gentlemen who are seeking to
secure this concession, are very capable
financially to carry out any work they
may be required to do. But the ordi.
nance granting them the privileges they
ask should be so drawn that nothing
would be left to the caprice or after
thought OF these gentlezsen.
