LORD TENNYSON DEAD.
The Poet laureate Passes
Away.

LONDON, Oct. 9.-Lord Tennyson
died at 1.35 m.
Immediately after the death of Lord
Tennyson the representative of the
Associated Press had an interview
view with Sir Andrew Clark, one of
the physicians who attended the poet
laurette. Sir Andrew said that Lord
Tennyson's death was the most glori-
GUS he had ever seen. There was no
artificial light lin the room, and the
chamber was almost in darkness, save
where a broad flood of moonlight
poured In through western window.
The moons rays fell across the bed
upon which the dying man lay, bath
ing him in their pure light. and form
ing Rembrandtlike background to
the scene. All was silent save the
soughing of the autumn wind, as it
gently played through the trees sur
rounding the house, fitting requiem
for the gentle poet, who sang of love
and the beauties of nature.
Mottonless Lord Tennyson lay upon
his couch, the tide of his life gently
and slowly ebbing out into the ocean
of the infinite. No rocks of pain or
sorrow checked its course or caused a
ripple npon the out going tide. AS
peacefully and as gently as he had
lived, so he died, looking until the end
into the eyes of those dear to him.
All the members of his family were
by the bedside, and Sir Andrew Clark
remained by his side from the moment
of his arrival Yesterday until he
breathed his last.
So gentle and painless was his pass.
ing away that the family did not know
he had gone until DR.. Clark broke the
news to Lady Tennysop, who bore the
closing scenes of her great trial we'll in
spite of her extremely delicate health.

But Grace pictured to herself the aris-
tocratic pride of an hidalrO shocked by
the suggestion of the plebeianism Of
trade, and she would not consent to the
revelation. But the Generals prediction
was fulfilled sooner than might have been
expected.
For, after they were married, Don Mi

first notable places they reached was. of

And one afternoon it happened that as

Square, and were crossing one of the side
streets, horse belonging to one of Lord
& Taylor delivery wagons became fright
ened and bolted round the corner. One
of the hind wheels of the vehicle came in
contact with Grace's shoulder and
knocked her down. The blow and the
fall stunned her. Don Migue's grief and
Indignation were expressed with tropical
energy, and bystander said:

The counsel seemed reasonable. and

They are SenOr de Mendoza and Grace
Parsloe."
And so, indeed, they were: and thus, in
TINS lonely spot, all the dramatic per-
some Of this history found themselves
united.
In answer 10 the obvious question,
how Grace and De Mendoza happened
1 TO be there, it transpired that, left 10
4 their own devices, they had undertaken
| no less an enterprise than TO discover
! the hidden treasure. Grace had COM

such surmises as she had formed, and he
had been able to supplement her knowl-

them in attempting the adyenture-nott to
mention the fact that Don Miguel (such

would, had she desired it, have gone with
Aer into hery furnace or a den Of lions.
Grace, who was ambitious as well as ro-

independence that wealth would give,
was all allght with the idea of capturing

her belt, caught the handle of a knife
and drew it. She lifted it against her
heart, but even then there was an uncer-

But Freeman, who had passed rapidly
from one degree of bewilderment to an
other, was actually relieved to see, at last.
something that he could not understand.
Miriam-for some reason best known to
herself-was about to do herself a mis-
chief. He leaped forward, caught her in
his arms and snatched the knife from her
grasp.
For few moments she struggled like
young tiger. And it was marvellous
and appalling to hear two voices come
from her. in alienation, or confusedlv

to struggle and sank back i'll Freeman's
arms. His own strength was well-nigh
at an end. He laid her on the ground,
and, sitting beside her, drew her head on
his knee. He had been in the land of
spirits, contending with unknown pow
ers. and he was faint in mind andsbody.
Yet he was conscious of the approach
ing tread of horses feet, and recollected
the hail that had come from the desert.
Soon loomed up the shadowy figures of
mounted men, and they came so near
that he was constrained to call out:

came forward and said:
Il suppose you are aware, sir. that Miss

and very clever and useful girl she was
L need not say how sorry we are for this
accident. L have sent for the physician,
but cannot but be glad that the misfor-
tune has at least given me the opportu
nifty OF telling you how highly your wife
was valued and respected here"
AT this Juncture Grace opened her eyes.
She looked from one face to another. and
knew that fate had brought the truth to
light. But the physical shock tempered
the severity of the mental one; besides,
she could not help being pleased at the
sight of so many well-remembered and
friendly faces and, finally her husband did
not look by any means angry and scam
daliZed as she had feared he would. In
deed, he appeared almost gratilied.
Such was Grace's punishment. 1t was
not very severe; but then her fault had
been yenial one, and the episode was Of
much moral benefit to hsr. She liked
her husband all the better for having
nothing more to conceal from him. Her
vanity was rebuked, and her false pride
chastened, and when, in after years. her
pretty daughters and blacl-haired sons
gathered about her knees, she was wont
10 warn them sagely against the un
American absurdity of fearing to work
for their living, or being ashamed to have
it known.
But the married life Of Miriam and
Harvey Freeman was characteristicaliy
American in its happiness. The repre-
sentatives of the oldest and of the latest
inhabitants Of this continent, their union
seemed to produce the flower of what
was best in both. Their wedding is still
remembered in that region as being ev-
erything that a Southern Californian
wedding should be- and the bride, as she
stood al the altar, looked what she was
one Of those women, who, more than
anything else in this world, are fitted to
bring back to earth the gentle Splendors
OF the Garden Of Eden. Ia her dark eyes,
as she fixed them upon Freeman, there
was mystic light telling of fathomless
depths Of tenderness and intelligence; it
seemed to her husband that love had ex-
panded and uplifted her, or, perhaps, that
other spirit III her, which had battled
with her own. had now become recon
ciled, and therefore yielded up whatever
it had OF good and noble to aggrandize
the gentle victory of its conqueror. Some

CHATTER vII.-coNTINUED.


Leaving their own horses they advanced
with the mule. But the trail, rough enough
at best, was now well-nigh impossible.
Masses of rock had fallen from above;
large tissures and crevasses had been
formed in the floor of the gorge, from
some of which steaming vapors escaped.
while others gave forth streams of water.
The darkness added to the difficulties of
the way, for, although the sky was now
clear, the gloom was deceptive, and things
distant seemed near. Occasionally a
heavy, irregular sound would break the
stiffness, as some projection of cliff be-
became loosened and tumbled down the
steep declivity.
Semitzin, however, held on her way
fearlessly and without hesitation, and the
Indian, with the pack-horse, followed as
best he might, now and then losing sight
for moment of the slight, grayish figure
In front of him. At length she disap-
peared behind the jutting profile of pro-
montory which formed a main angle Of
the gorge. When he came up with her
she was kneeling beside the PROSTATE
form of man, supporting his head upon
her knee.
Kamaiakan approached and looked at
the lace OF the man which was pale The
eyes were closed. a streak of blood from
wound on the head descended over the
right side of the forehead.
''Is he dead?n the Indian asked.
''He is not dead" " replied Semitzin. "A
flying stone has struck him, but his heart
beats. He will be well again" She
poured some water from her canteen
over his face and bent her ear over his
lips. He breathes," she said. Slip
ping one arm beneath his neck she loos-
ened the shirt at his throat and then
stopped and kissed him. ''Be alive for
me, love-" she murmured. "My life is
yours"
This exhortation seemed TO have some
effect. The man stirred slightly and
emitted a sigh. Presently he muttered,
Il can-lick him-yet!'
He will live. Princess,' remarked
kamaiakan. But where is the treas
ure?''
MY treasure is herel" was her reply;
and again she bent TO kiss the half-con-
scious man who knew not of his good
fortune After an interval she added:
1T is in the hollow beneath that arch
way. Go down three PAGES. On the
wall at the left you will feel a ring. Pull
1t outward and the stone will give way.
Behind it lies the chest in which the
jewels are. But remember your prom
ise!''
kamaiakan peered into the hollow,
shook his head as one who loves not his
errand and stepped in. The black shad-
Ow swallowed him up. SemItZin paid
no further attention to him, but was alb
sorbeG in ministering to her patient,
whose strength was every moment being
augmented, though he was not yet aware
of his position. But all at once a chok-
ing sound came from within the cave,
ana in a few moments Kamaiakan stag
gered up out of the shadow and sank
down across the threshold of the arch.
Ek'Semitzin," he gasped, in faint voice,
''the curse of the gods is upon the spot!
The air within is poisonous. 1t withers
the limbs and stops the breath. No one
may touch the treasure and live. Let us
go''
1.-THE gods do not love those who

ously. "But the treasure is nine, and
it may well be that no other hand may
touch it. Fold that blanket and lay it
beneath his head. will bring the jew
els"
"Do not attempt it. It will be deathr'
exclaimed the old man.
''Shall a Princess come to her lover
empty-handed? DO you watch beside
him while I go. All, if your Miriam were
here 1 would not fear to have him choose
between u.s."
With these words Semitzin stepped
across the threshold of the crypt and
vanished in its depths. The Indian, still
dizzy and faint, knelt on the rock with
out, bowed down by sinister forebod-
ings.
Several minutes passed.
''She has perished!' muttered Kamaia-
kan.
Freeman raised himself on one elbow
and gazed giddily about him.
"What the deuce has happened?' he
demanded, in a sluggish voice. ''Is that
you, Professor"
Suddenly rending and rushing sound
burst from the cave. Following it Sc
nitzin appeared at the entrance. dragging
a heavy metal box, which she grasped
by handle at one end. Immediately in
her steps broke forth a great volume of
water boiling up as if from a caldron. 1t
filled the cave and poured like cataract
into the gorge. The foundations of the
great deep seemed TO be let loose.
Semtzin lifted from her face the wool
en- mask. or visor, which she had closed
on entering the cave. She was painting
from eXerron, but neither her physical
nor her mental faculties were abated. She
spoke sharply and imperiously.
Bring up the mule and help me fasten
the chest upon him.. We must reach
higher ground before the waters overtake
us And now" She turned to Free
man, who. by this time, was sitting up
and regarding her with stupelaction.
"AIiriam!" was all he could utter.
She shook her head and smiled.
II am she who loves you, and whom
YOU will love. L give you life and for
tune and myself. But come! Can you
mount and ride?''
81 can't make this OUT" he said strug-
Cling, with her assistance, to his feet. Il
have read fairy tales, but this -kamaia-
kan, tOo!'
SemitZin, meanwhile, brought him to
the mule, and half mechanically he
scram bled into the saddle, the chest being
made fast to the crupper. Semitzin
seized the bride and started up the gorge,
Ealnaiakan bringing up the rear. The
lower levels were already filling with
water. which came pouring out through
the archway in full flood, seemingly in
eXhauStible.
II see how it is" mumbled Freeman,
half to himself. 1.-THE earthquake re-

She turned her head, smiling again,
but hurried on without speaking. The
roar of the torrent followed them. Once
or twice the mule came near losing his
footing. Freeman, whose head was
