That's just where the ball did enter,

Sheridan and we were having a lively

CHAPTER VI.
WITHIN THE NET.

The sun had gone down, and Bardolph
Dimsey was at the appointed spot pacing
up and down, but Vida had not come.
Fury and isappointmentwere on the fea-
lures of the half-brod gypsy, and he stopped
now and then in his walk TO listen and shake
his fist in impotent fury in the direction OF
Gordonfells.
"Woe to her." he muttered again and
again, woe to her if she attempts to deceive
mew
At length he moved slowly toward Cor
'donfells, pausing now and then to listen for
approaching footsteps. But no such sounds
fell upon his ear. All was still save within
the house, and there he could see shadows
on the blinds Of lighted windows moving to
and fro.
Bardolph had keen eyes, and ere long he
had made out the profile Of Vida in an upper
room. Rightly judging that this was her
own apartment he quietly crept under 1t,
and watched and waited until he was as
sured that she was alone.
III risk it." he muttered, and began to
Chamber up the thick ivy that covered that
part Of the old house.
Vida was indeed alone and in a restless
mood. She had deliberately kept away from
her appointment believing that Bardolph
would do nothing. He would be angry, of
course, but she could offer him an excuse
when they met again. Her idea was to keep
him aloof until she would be able to get rid
of him for good and all.
But here he was tapping softly at the win
dow, and an icy chill passed drought her as
she realised how desperate and resolved he
was.
"What shall do?' she thought. "Oh,
would that could kill him herep
But that being impossible, or, at least,
madness, she fell back upon her first notion
to temporise with him. So she lowered
the light, softly drew up the blind, and open
ed the window.
"who is thereT' she asked I'm whisper.
"0h, you know" Bardolph answered sulki-
ly. Don't try 10 hnmbug me-"
"Come in" she said, and he clamberedin in
10 the room.

ed, until make all safe"
Her door was already locked, and there
was only the window to close and the blind
TO replace.
AS an additional security she drew the
heavy curtains close.
Then having turned up the lamp she faced
him with a resolute look.
I'm the first place." she said, IL will ask
you to speak low. Now tell me what you
mean by coming here"

CHATTER VII.
A MIDNIGHT WEDDING.

NEDDlNG.
Bardolph Dimsey stole softly across the
park, and entered the wood that was on its
borders. Here for few moments he paus-
ed, to dwell, lover-!ike, on the rapturous
prospect before him.
He had as good as won the woman he
adored, and who but few days before had
stood so high above him that TO look at her
was an act OF audacity, and to speak to her
to court punishment.
His nature was strong and sensual. The
animal was predominant in him. DESPITE
his boasted blood he had none of the finer
Instincts that belonged to a cultivated life.
He knew no pleasure like qualification Of
his passions and never troubled himself
how success was obtained.
Repentance for the crimo no had been
guilty OF never SO much as dawned in his
heart. The germ of sorrow was not there,
and could never be developed. The only
thought that troubled him on that score, and
troubled him very little was in torment,
he was as one intoxicated, and when he
reached the gypsy encampment, Bluebell
Dell, he reeled like one who had been drink
ing.
Around fire were seated about a dozen
men, women, and children, whom he pass
ed by without word, and threw himself
down at the entrance of low tent under
which sat the old woman, Hecate, appar-
emily asleep.

MR.. PARNELES DEFEAT

Mr.. parnelrs marriage does not seem to have
added TO his political stock in trade. AT Car
low. where the conditions were considered to
be peculiarly favorable for the success Of his
candidate, he has been overwhelmed with de-
feat. The Mccarthy candidate has been elected
by majority exceeding by nearly 700 the
number of votes cast for Mr.. Parnells man.
The contest lay between farmer and mer-
chant in county where there was an agli-
cultural population The merchant won by so
large majority as to exclude all considerations
of personal popularity in explanation of his sue
cess. The influence Of the Catholic clergy was
undoubtedly strongly eXerted against Mr. Par
nells candidate The Irish leaders marriage
was not accepted by tho priests as Hndication
of his reputation His candidate was slaughtered
in a constituency which had been regarded az
his stronghold.
The Carlow election is an unenfng sign Of
Mr. parnells loss Of prestige. His services to
the Irish people had been pre-eminent, and in
the crisis of his political fortunes large body
of followers refused to abandon him merely out
of Difference for Mr. GladstOne'S scruples. As
time has passed and his determination TO Subor-
dinate everything in (which the island is deeply
interested to his own fortunes has been dis
closed. a popular reaction has set in against
him. There has been a recOil from a selfish
ness which exacted loyalty to disgraced fader
at the expense OF the cause of Home Rule 50
long as Ireland was first in the affections Of
Mr.. parne he was power in the island. When
his love affairs, his immOralities his private re-
sentiments, his political vengeance and his
restoration to the leadership were considered
by him as OF greater importance than the
maintenance of the Home Rule alliance in Eng
land and the triumph of the Irish cause, his
prestige was hretrlevaby impaired

Home Rule is to be won. 1t will be interpreted

MORE ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS.

For some years past the work of Arctic ex-
ploraton has been largely suspended. The last
two important expeditions that had the North
Pole as their objective point were OF American
organization, and were in the main conducted
with sagacity and courage that do credit 70
the American name. Nor were they by any
means barren Of results They added much 10
the worlds knowledge OF the far northern
regions, and they placed the Stars and Stripes
nearer to the Arctic Pole than the flag OF any
Other nation. But their ending was in disaster
ard death Since then no serious effort has been
made 10 continue their unfinished work. Dr.
Hansen, it is true tramped across Southern
Greenland. and Lord Lonsdale is reputed to
have wandered about the shores Of Hudson Bay.
But until the present time no real polar ex-
petition has gone forth. Now, however, there
is n great revival of action Three wcll-equipped
parties are making their way northward, and
a fourth will soon follow; and there is good
reason 20 expect that each will wrest from the
cline of frost some real advantage TO the world
of science
