At the time / said little, but saw the

mined to wait and see what came about

came about, l soon learned that l could
trust you to see her safely to the coast
after l was gone. But many days ago
knew how it stood between YOU, and
now things have come about as praved
they might. God bless you both, my
children; may you be happy in your
love; may it endure till death and be-

stretched out his hand toward ne.

And now, there is one more thing: when
l left England my fortunes were in a
shattered condition; in the course of years
they have recovered themselves, the ac-
cumulated rents, as heard but recently,
when the wagons last returned from
Port Natal, have sufficed to pay off all
charges, and there is a considerable bal

Stella, are my heiress, and 1 wish to

soon as my death occurs you shall leave
this place and take the first opportunity
of returning to England. l do not
ask you to live there always; it might

and through the gloom shines the star
light OF her eyes. l think that we loved
each other from the first, though for a
while we said no word of love. Day by
day l went about the place with her, &C
companied by little Tota and Hendrika
only, while she attended to the thousand
and one matters which her fathers ever
growing weakness had laid upon her;
or, rather, as time drew on, attended to
the business and she accompanied me.
All day through we were together. Then
after supper, when the night had fallen,
we would walk together in the garden
and come in at length to hear her father
read aloud, sometimes from the works of
poet, sometimes from history, or, if he
dld not feel well, Stella would read. and
when this was done Mr.. Carson would
celebrate short form of prayer, and we
would separate till the morning once
more brought our happy hour of meeting.
So the weeks went by, and with every
week grew TO know my darling better.
Often / wonder now if my fond fancy
deceives me, or if indeed there are women
as sweet and dear as she. Was it solitude
that had given such depth and gentleness
40 her? Was it the long years of COM
muning with nature that had endowed
her with such peculiar grace, the grace
we find in opening flowers and budding
trees? Had she caught that murmuring
voice from the sound of the streams that
fall continually about her rocky homei
was 1t the tenderness of the evening sky
beneath which she loved to walk, that
Lay Like shadow on her face, and the
light of the evening stars that shone in
her quiet eyes? At the least, to me she
was the realization of the dream which
haunts the sleep of sin stained men; SO
my memory paints her, SO hope to find
her when at last the sleep has rolled
away and the fevered dreams are DONE
At Last there came a day-the most
blessed Of my life-when we told our

New YoRK, Sept. 22.-tSpecial The
Hesulfs Washington City correspondent.
commenting on the Barrundia case, saws:
am able to give . brief OF Mr.. Blaine's
opinion In this case, which, though not in.
tended for publication at this tins, shows
the diplomatic question in its most
favorable light The secretary of
state holds that the authorities of Guate-
mala had an indisputable right
to arrest General Barrundia upon any
form of warrant legal in the country, when
ever found within the territorial jurisdic-
ton OF the republic. The fact
that he was on board OF a
mercantile vessel made no difference.
nor was Il necessary that he should be
shown actually guilty of any offense prior
70 arrest II General Barrundia hsd de-
mandcd the warrant of arrest he would
have exhausted his rights, and any resist
ancs would have been at his peril.
II Is now known to the department.
through Minister Miners report. that the
warrant for the arrest Of Barrundia
was from the proper source, in
proper FORM and was served by proper
officials. Up to the moment when
Barrundia opened fire In q manner
70 frantic as to imperil the ships company
and passengers. the Guatemalan proceed
fngs are admitted to have been scrupu.
lously correct, and particularly regardful
of the feelings Of Captain Pitts and of the
nation TO which his vessel belonged.
1t 10 deemed important to emphathixe
this point, because il has been assumed
that the attempt to serve and execute q
warrant OF arrest on board the Acapulco
was in itself an invasion OF the rights and
dignity Of the United States. This is =
point that the department does not regard
IS open to discussion. the United States
rupreme court having clearly laid down
be Law on several well-known occasions
..ivolving this question.
Barrundia was not o political refugee
for he went voluntarily into the iurisdic.
ton OF country, whose laws required his
arrest and trial, and the doctrine of No.
iitical asylum has no application whatever
10 the case. Another point upon which
the department is satisfied in that
there was no violation OF the nledee
voluntarily given by the Guatemalan
government to Minister Miner that Bar.
rundia should not be subjected to unlav.
full violence. Miner had not asked for the
assurance, but it having been voluntarily
given and accepted IN courtesy.
It Is pleasing to the department
