unconscious father. She felt herself drawn
closer, her head to seek un willing rest upon
the broad collar of q furred coat, and hot,
scented breath upon her cheek.
Of how her pale cheek flushed at the very
touch how her whole soul recoiled from
the enforced embrace, how in her heart she
seemed to feel the Lingling stain those hrs
she could do only one thing-lift her eyes
to the handsome face bent close to her own.
Till then, in fear and shame, she had kept
her head bent so low. Royal had not caught
more than O glimpse of her face, and 50
had not recognized her infirmity. The
warm, red lips had almost given the kiss
which it seemed to her would soil her very
soul, but, as if those forget-me-nots, in be-
ing curtained as windows, had gained
double power to show the thoughts which
filled the tortured soul within. those cruel
gray ones, which, while they drank in the
beauty of the child-like features, Knocked
the crimson veil of modesty which was
stealing over them seemed to read for the
first time their secret.
Royal started, and for an instant hest
tated. TIE look of helpless pain upon that
blind face recalled to him the memory OF
the eyes which his crime had darkened,
made him realize for the first time the hor-
Tor of that diabolical cruelty, and fend as
he was, a barrier seemed to rise between
him and this girl
Could little Nell have read bis thoughts
as he read hers, all might have been well.
As it was, the moments pause reused her
fears to a pitch which it was beyond her
to control. With q strength, of which q
moment before she had not deemed herself
capable, she made one Desperate effort to
to free herself, uttering at the
same time despairinx cry for help.
This resistance called Royal to himself.
his own evil self. He caught her with no
pretense of gentleness to him, sitting her
cry savagely.
"You LITTLE vixenl but will have my
kiss, he said.
The hot breath was on her face again
his lips almost touching hers-almost, fer
in the excitement OF the unequal struggle
neither had heard tho sound of approaching
footsteps, nor realized that there was a
spectator to the scene-an antagonist to
Royal, a rescuer for little Nell.

counted too much upon his power over him
TO be at ali suspicious.
On the other hand, Royal had not at all
stifled his fears Of the witness whose sight he
had destroyed; and since she was not
Madge, and thus not tied to him by love or
marriage, she was yet more dangerous
The Rat it was true had undertaken TO see
that she was kept out of the way, but Royal
felt he would much have preferred having
the matter safely in his own hands. de
was suspicious OF his partner even in this,
and yet did not at all know how TO arrange
things TO his own liking.
He never for a moment suspected the
truth.
He had remembered the Rats intention
to seek his daughter, b I, on his inquiry as
to the issue of the matter. the reply had
been that she was entirely dead to him now
that he had begun this new deception.
Knowing this--the Rat's-feelings in the
matter, Royal was not surprised, aud was
too full OF other matters quietly to put two
and two together.
All these things were in his mind when
he paused before Huntingford house. de
did not guess the burden of grief and pain
which was bowling down his partners
strength.

The Ameer Of Afghanistan Raising q Large
Army to subdue Them.
The revolt Of the Hazara tribes in Afghanistan
becomes more serious daily, and many of the
great tribes have now combined their forces
against the ameer. who is collecting all his
resources to put down the rebellion. In addi-
ton to 5000 regular troops and an equal force
Of irregulars. the ameer is trying to raise fur
Their levies BY holding out to the loyal tribesmon
promises of great reward if they will assist him
to combat the revolving Hazaras.
Among other things the ameer holds out the
prospect that in the event of the subjugation Of
tine rebels their country will be divided between
the tribesmen who assist him. These promises
and the prospect OF getting possession Of Haza-
ralaRd have induced many Of the tribesmen
to join the standard Of the ameer.
It is reported that the ameer is anxious to
meet Gen. Sir Frederick Roberts, who. with
large detachment of troops, has been dis
patched by tbs Indian government to meet the
smeer at Jellabad This mission is accom-
panied by political agent, and it, main object
is to arrange plans with the ameer against in
ternal feuds and against the advance OF Russia
in Afghanistan, which is the road to India. 1t
/; also reported that in view Of the dispatch Of
Gen. Roberts the araeer will publish generally
throughout Afghanistan that the Viceroy Of In
dia has sent him and q large force Of British
troops to his assistance.

Too Many Americans Make Mistake In
Going to the Sunny Land.
EVERY year sends more Of our countrywo-
men to Italy to prepare themselves for the
stage, whose qualifications of voice and person,
however fattered in America. by no means fit
them for a successful career in that country,
in which indeed their very sex, instead Of being
Of some protection, as in America is quite the
reverse" says ex-Gov. Crosby in the North
American Repie,c.
"Their position in the meanwhile is aggra-
waited by their ignorance or disregard Of habits
and opinions very foreign to those they have
been accustomed to at home. From the outset
they are liable to be victimized by being in
sidiously encouraged by interested persons to
pursue, at a heavy expense for years, studies to
mt them for the operate stage, only at last,
after paying an eItravagant fee for debut
trial, to utterly fail. either from absolute in
ability or through the plots Of jealous rivals.
For every success there are many failures;
at the same time, when the conditions are fav-
orabie, there is no country that has such great
facilities for the training Of an opera singer
and the beginning Of a successful career. It is
true there have been examples Of remarkable
and praisewOrthy success under most adverse
circumstances, due entirely to the energy and
ability displayed by the young ladies them
selves. In thu, plainly presenting the disad-
vantages and trials which all must more or less
meet do not wish to discourage any one from
attempting professional career in italy, but
only to state the adverse facts for the consider
alton Of the persons most interested"
