CHAPTER XVIII.
URA'S PLAN:


Captain Starbrigh hit started at seeing Lura
Joyce. The meeting was an unexpected
one on his part.
''You here?' he calculated. ~ thought
you would not return to Lone Hollow again"
'Why did you think so, Captains Lone
Hollow is all the home have"
Il surmised as much, that is all. Grace
was glad to see you ~
after your lies, yes" interrupted Lura,
in a Kissing whisper. 'EI'll thwart you yet,
Captain Starbright.''
Then she turned about and resumed her
seat beside the bed, the short red curls on
her foretop quivering IN a way that BODIED
no good to the schemlng Captain. His black
eyes took on q look of intense hate as he
gazed that, had Lura seen it, would have
chilled the blood in her veins. His white
hands clinched, and for i moment he seemed
the very incarnation of evil.
He turned swiftly on his heel and passed
from the room. Once beyond the gaze of
! Lura's eyes his face assumed black and
threatening look. ''One day more and all
would have been well, the fortune would
have been mine, aud Grace beyond help.
Now, what may not take place with that girl
in the house? wish she was dead"
1t is easy to understand the Captains
thoughts. He realized that Grace alone was
the one witness who could testify to the
will With her out of the way he was COM
paratively safe, and could bid defiance to
the widow and those who might choose to
call themselves her friends.
Mrs. Penroy was far from well, and was
at the present time confined to her room
with sudden severe cold.
eff she, too, would only die" thought the
Captain, and then wicked resolve en-.
tered his heart as he paced the long hall
alone in the lower part of the old house.
While the man of evil was thus conjuring
dark thoughts, LurG Joyce succeeded in
calming her sick cousin, and learning from
her the story of how affairs came to change
so greatly in the short space of three
weeks.
al can hardly account for it myself" fal'
tered Grace. Il know felt almost well
when you left me, and should have given
up my medicine altogether but for Mr.. Star
bright"
eyes, indeed" agreed Lura, in a sup.
pressed voice, her eyes shining like bits Of
steel.
"He thought the medicine was necessary
| to strengthen me, and so continued to take
1t, only to grow weaker gradually, until
had to take to my bed once more. oh, vol
can not imagine how discouraging it hal
been"

numbering less than twelve thousand
men, commanded by Generals Wash
ington, Lee, Greene, Lafayette and
Wayne. The British, supplied with
every comfort, had spent the winter in
idleness and dissipation; the Continental
troops, in the rude huts at Valley
Forge, had suffered cold, hunger and
every other privation to the limits of
human endurance. The dauntless per-
sonality of Washington had alone kept
them from disbanding and yielding to
despair. The patriots We're eager to
strike blow at the insolent invaders
who had lived on the fat of the land
while they had starved. Washington,
Greene, Lafayette and Wayne favored
an attack in spite of the great superi -
ity of the opposing forces; they desired
by gallant and desperate effort to dis
sipate the gloom that was settling
over the hopes of liberty; but General
Lee and nearly all of the other officers,
both foreign and American, maintained
that it was not wise to risk a battle.
There was hesitation, but Washington
finally decided to fight.
The advanced corps, four thousand
men under General Lee, moved upon
the enemy near Monmouth court
house on the 2Sth of June. Seven hun
dred men skirnished in the rear of the
British.
Every thing seemed to be in favor of
the Americans. But scarcely was the
attack we'll commenced than Lee be-
gan to manifest strange vacillation.
Contradictory orders were issued, con-
fusion resulted, the troops began to
waver. Lafayette, alarmed, sent word
to Washington that something was
wrong. Soon Lee permitted retreat
and his whole force fell back.
Washington, galloping forward,
would not believe the stories of the
first fugitives whom he met. An officer
rode by and declared with an oath that
the Americans were flying from a
shadow. Washington's suspicious were
excited and his great soul boiled with
Indignation. Ascending little hill, he
met Lee on the summit. Rising in his
| stirrups, his nostrils expanding like
those of war-horse in the heat of
conflict, the Commander-in-Chicf said,
in laundering tones:
What is the meaning of all this, sir?"
| Washington's appearance was terrible.
Lee, man as ill-favored in feature as
Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1887-1895, 1891-02-21

he was warped in mind, covered before
the majestic mien of his superior, and
at first could make no clear reply. Hot
words ensued, and Lee was disrespect-
full.
Leaving Lee angry but crestfallen,
Washington, amid storm of bullets,
rallied the troops on the eminence,
and checked the advance of the British.
Then, having recovered his customary
calmness, he turned to Lee and asked if
he would retain the command on the
height. Full of determination to re-
trieve his reputation as a General, the
mortified Lee replied:
Your orders shall be obeyed, and
shall not be the first to leave the
ground"
At this moment Washingtons atten-
ton was attracted to young woman
who was bringing bucket of water
from spring to her husband who was
loading and firing a cannon. She was
the brave Irish lassie, Mollie Pitcher,
destined soon TO be known throughout
the land as heroine. She was of me-
dunn height, had a well-rounded figure,
and her movements singularly evinced
masculine strength combined with fem
mime grace. Her large and shapely
head was covered with luxuriant
growth of golden hair, her complexion
was fair, her features were pleasing,
and, according to one who knew her
well, she had handsome, piercing
eye" She was an Amazon, but she was
a fine-loobing one, and although she
was of too rugged a nature and
had been trained in too rough
a school to possess the charms
of gentle and well-bred woman,
there was in her a certain hoy
denish and mischievous disposition, a
brightness and originality not possible
to women who are controlled by con-
ventionalities, and a freedom from fear,
that drew to her much masculine adj
miration. She was not without little
coquetry, and shrewdly turned it to her
pecuniary advantage; for she was wont
to walk in front of the lines of our
allies, the gallant French, with her
cooked hat extended and the response
was sometimes so generous that the hat
was nearly filed with coins. Her dress
was half masculine, she wearing not

DIR. Taxon gave assurance that Grace
would speedily recover, and he came to
Lone Hollow less frequently as the days
passed.
When tho wounded girl asked after her
lover, Lura gave evasive answers. The
young man still languished in Stoneheld
Jail, awaiting the outcome of the shot. and
Lura feared to make known the fact, since a
shock now might terminate the life of
Grace.
In the meantime Captain Starbright al
ternated between Stonefield and Lone Hol-
low. He was pleasant, and even friendly
to Lura and Mrs. Penroy. The latter did
not attempt to prevent his visits, for she
had grown to fear the evil mans power
more and more since the will had been
found.

THE TROUBLE IN CHILL.

Tie news that a revolution had taken
place in Chill was a surprise to most peo-
pie. Chill has been exceptional among
South American Rep lblics. It's citizens
are industrious and peaceful. They think
more OF making money than they 10 of po-
lltIcal agitation. The county has not had
a revolution for fifty years. 1t has, conse-
quently, become rich and important.
The Government has been prudent, and
appears TO have been popular. 1t is said
that the people are not satisfied with the
way IN which elections are carried on, and
that the Government party, in order to Sc
cure the reelection of the President. Bal
maceda, have been tamperimg with the
voters lists. The Presidential election is
TO come off in September, and the politi-
clans appear to have been more than usual
ly busy. Their i%ntrigueS, it is supposed.
have precipitated the revolution. The fact
that the first demonstration has been made
by the navy is not in favour Of this theory.
The despatch fl Om Valparaiso saws that the
navy had revOlted and declared against
President Balmaceda on account Of his ar
hltrary acts. Sailors are not given TO poll
teal agitation, and we fancy that something
. affecting them more closely and more di-
rectly than tampering with the registration
lists has caused them to turn against the
Government and to take the leading part
in a revolution.
By the constitution ohe President is not
eligible for re. election, but Balmaceda has
a friend, Senior EntuentOs, whom he desires
to see raised to be the head of the Execu-
tive. The latter is exceedingly unpopular
and the revolution may be a protest
against what is being lone to secure his
election. The details of the disturbance are
few and not so clear as they might be. 1t
appears to be a pity that the progress of
the most prosperous and the most powerful
OF the South American republics should be
lmpeded BY a civil disturbance. The Chi
hans have done much of late years to de-
velop the resources of their country. They
have been aided by foreign skill and foreign
capital Railroads have been constructed
and mines and minerals worked. The re-
venue from the nitrate deposits last wear
amounted to $23, 100000, and the country
produces copper, silver, gold and coal. It's
agricultural resources are great and the
climate is everything that could be wished.
1t is to be hoped that tho trouble will be
averted, and that Chill will continue to de-
serve the title which she has earned and
of which Ter people are very proud

TOPEKA, Kas., Jan. 14.--The second
day of the Legislature is without espe-
cial sensation. The Hobbies and CALLER
les are again crowded with Onlookers
and the house is particularly an object
of attention. Judge Peffer's admOni-
ton to send spies here seems to have
been obeyed as the city is filled with
alliance men who are watching the
proceedings.
In the senate election Of officers this
morning Rev. John A. Bright, of abb
lene, was chosen chaplain unanimously,
he receiving every vote in the senate
on the first ballot, a distinguished
compliment to the genial Sunday
school worker.
The action of the alliance men in 60
ing into caucus on the house officers
has disconnected the republicans who
believed the alliance meant what it
said in opposing caucuses. 1t is con-
coded that caucus on senator means
Ingalls, defeat.
No business of Importance has yet
been transacted by the legislature.
Governor Humphreys message is ex-
pected today. 1t is reported that he
will caution the members to be careful
and not injure the states credit and
will advocate the codifying commit
tees report.
NJ. Sem, of the 69th district, was
made one of the houses committee to
wait on the governor for his message.

A FAIR FLOWER TAKEN.
Death of Miss Nellie Belle Malott-
A Life of Brightness.

death with his sickle keen" has
reaped no fairer flower from earth than
when this morning he bore away the
life Of Nellie Belle, eldest daughter OF
T. II. Malott, of this city. Although
it has been known for several days that
the dread summons was soon to come
the news was still shock to those who
had known the deceased girls sweet
life.
Nellie Belle MalOtt was born in Bed
ford, Ind, Feb. 5, 1869. thus being a
little less than % years old.
AT 10 years of age she united with
the Christian church and lived faith
full to its teachings until death. She
came with her parents to Abilene in
September, 1885, and to all was
known and loved as one of the city's
fairest daughters. Kind hearted, viva
cious, charming, she was the life of
every gathering and in her apparent
superabundance Of health was admired
by all. She was prominent in society
circles and never made enemies.
A little over year ago a severe cold
developing into la grippe left her with
serious lung difficulties and although
everything was done that money could
bring or loving hearts could suggest
the young life faded steadily away
until this morning at O'Clock the
tender heart ceased from beating. She
knew that her end was near and met it
bravely. With kindly words she said
farewell to loved ones and entered the
portals Of the hereafter, strong in the
faith of her Savior.
The sorrowing family have the sin
cerest sympathy from their wide circle
of friends.
The funeral services will be held at
the house, on North Buckeye, Friday
afternoon at , O'Clock.
