partnership, which is restfuI, quiet, nom
argumentatiye and affectionate. He has
a wholesome sympathy for the suffering,
and even in his criticisms of the Russian
rule there is an appreciatlve sentiment of
the obstacles which block the way of
even the most charitable of Muscovite
monarchs.
The diplomatic skillfulness and pleas
ant geniality of Walter Milbanke
brought to bear upon the amiable and
happy nature of Sam Swipford through
the medium of Dick Chetwynd, have
brought about complete reconciliation
between the Forsyths and the merry sis
tiers. It is satisfactory to be able still to
give them that familiar title, the merry
sisters.
Sam and Dolly, at the suggestion of
clever Mrs. Milbanke, have made their
home in the best part of the fashionable
regions of Kensington. The fortunate
young stock broker, lucky in his mar
riage as in his financial speculations, has
been able to give to Dolly all her heart
could desire, and at the same time to
provide Mrs. Milbanke with q house of
call not less luxurious and comfortable
than her own. 1t is quite possible that,
under the influence rather of
Mrs. Milbanke's ambition than
the desire of her sister,
Dolly, Mr.. Swlnford may yet be heard of
in the great legislative council Of the
nation: not that he cares for public
honors, but he has made sufficient money
to command the attention of one of the
great parties IN the city, is popular
wherever he goes, has already refused a
in aOnnnil has h6pn
elected member of one of the great
party clubs He and his wife are on the
reception list of the prime minister's dis
Greet and accomplished wife; and his
coach at the last Hyde park corner meet
ing was the best appointed of the day,
and certainly carried two of the most at
tractive women of the season, Mrs.
Swinford and Mrs. Milbanke, the wife of
the we'll known conveyancing solicitor.
They met Philip Forsyth for the first
time since their marriage at quiet little
dinner given by Lady Forsyth at Rich
mond. Philip was inclined to be some
what bashful at the outset, but was
speedily placed at his ease by the wise
discretion of Mrs. Milbanke, the pleas
ant lively conversation of Walter, and
the rare capacity of Dolly SwinfoTd for
talking about everything that was far
away from Philips thoughts, and her
charming facility for translating pleas
ant ideas into music. She played and
sang divinely snatches of this opera and
the other, never for one moment drop
ping into any suggestion of Carmen, -
and always keeping clear of anything
calculated to stir the emotions. 1t was
altogether on one side most agreeable
plot to make Philip ignore anything in
the past that could unpleasantly in
fiuence the present, and he and his
mother were sympathetically receptive
of these pleasant efforts of social friend
ship.
With all his influence, Dick Chetwynd
has not been able to learn anything of
the fate of Ferrari, Petroski, and the
president of the meeting of the French
Cabart in Soho. The Italian and his
comrades must therefore pass out of this
history as many other men in Russia
have passed out OF all knowledge of their
associates, some to die lingering deaths
in sitting prison others to grow gray in
Siberian Wilds.
It may, however, be said for Ferrari
and his comrades of the Brotherhood,
that they were always prepared for the
martyrdom which they knew they might
at any moment be called upon to en-
dure. Moreover, Ferrari, if he had not
lived to realize his best hopes, had at
least enjoyed the sweets of revenge on
most of his personal enemies. Whether
his passion was righteous one or not, it
was the chief motor of his life, s8nctified
in his mind by the name Of patriotism.
So let the memory of him be kept green
at least for his courage and his devotion
to the unhappy queen of the Ghetto.
