He feared the meeting he had yearned
for II was to assure him whether this
was really love he felt, or but another
passing fancy lil1e the others past.
And If it Were the great deep love he
hoped-if, when he saw her face and
touched her hand ana heard her voice
again, his soul recognized hers as the
one companion soul-this filed him with
another dreud.
For if TO know himself lover and

proof of worthiness, he might be be-
| loved were the earliest thrill of an inn
mortal joy, so this meeting, if it named
him lover and yet convinced him by
sure tokens that his love would never be
returned. was the first keen pang Of
sorrow immeasurable.
No wonder that he waited and traced
.he circuits of the falling leaves, and
simulated to his mind hundred motives
Tor delay.
1t was 80 still in the warm, sunshiny
afternoon that he could hear the crum-
bling cinders fall in the ruins, and all
lbout him the ceaseless rustic Of the
ihowering foliage.
But presently a noise more articulate
sounded on tho dry carpet of the path
behind him. A light footstep was com
ng slowly toward this desolated spot. 1t
seemed 10 SkeTett that he OWNED
whose step would bring her hither 10

He walked forward n little that his
sudden appearance against the oak might
not startlo the newcomer. He would
lot turn. It was new to the brave and
ardent fellow TO perceive timidity in his
leart and TO eyade an encounter with
my danger.
The footstep quickened-a womans
surely. In moment he heard a sweet
voice call his name.
A shy and timorous call, n gentle,
trembling tone. it came through the
sunshine and made all the air music.
Her voicel It was the voice he had
onged and dreaded 10 hear. But now
he feared no more. He believed that
lis immortal JOY was begun, and these
remors of his soul, in answer TO the
rembles Of her call, could never be the
EARLIEST warnings of an agony.
He saw her face again, fairer than he
lad dreamed, in the happy sunlight.
de felt again the thankful pressure of
ler hand. He listened to her earnest
words Of gratitude.
They spoke little-he gravely, she
earfully-of the tragedy of her moth
RS life. This shadow deepened the
enderness Of the lover. And She per-
,eiving this, drew closer to him, giving
okens. faint but sure, as he fancied. of
the slow npening happiness TO grow
henceforth.
Then she guided him to see his friend
her father.
The level sunbeams Of evening wen
before them in the path. They disap
peared amid the wood. Golden sun
shine flowed after them. The tree
ehowered all the air full Of colder
leaves Of good omen.

Will it end in doubt, sorrow, sham,

For Indians to breathe through tho

which was devouring his wife as she sat

By this time, from the Tartar frigate
and her consorts, boats crews were
making for the burning house. They
hoped to handle and furl the flames as
they would a Tapping maintopsail in a
gale. BY this time the manor people were
also hurrying up, with neighborly intent
to fling looking glasses and crockery
from The windows and save them.
The Tartars were exhilarated by the
splendid spectacle of fire in revolt. II
was indeed a wild and passionate scene.

General Vaughan came down
the river from Kingston, smelling of
arson. Sir Henry Clinton destroyed the
Highland forts and retired to New York.
The Continental outposts forthwith re-
occupied PeekslSill.
With them came Peter Skerrett, and
there were bristles on his upper lip a
week or so old.
He hastened at once toward the Bilsby
farm. where the Brothertofts had found
shelter. He turned aside on the way to
see the ruins Of the manor house.
1t was still brilliant October. If the
trees that first put on crimsons and pur-
Piles now were sere and bare, later COM
ers kept up the pageant. Indeed the
great oaks had only just consented TO
the change of season. It took sharp
frosts to scourge green summer out Of
them.
The woods seemed as splendid TO Peter
SkeTett as when he looked over them on
the day of his adventure here. Nothing
was altered except in one forlorn spot.
There, instead OF the fine old dignified
manor house, appeared only dew sod

tragic monument Of a tragedy.

A Hint to Huntington.

Now that Mr.. Huntington is COM
ing back to this coast he ought to
tell the people of Nevada why he
cut off the monthly contribution Of
the Southern Pacific to the Reno
Board Of Trade.
The idea seems to prevail that the
road took the step because it was
inimical to the interests of Nevada.
This is not likely cause, however.
r. L. Fulton was the manager" and
Allen Bragg the "official printer 4"
The two seem to have about divided
up the appropriation, Mr.. Fulton of
course taking the lions share, as is
his usual won't.
The amount subscribed by the
Railroad Company and the people of
Nevada seems to have been mainly
an appropriation for the benefit of
Messrs. Flu ton and Bragg, tbs gents
lemen who not SO very long ago were
loud in their pious denunciation of
the "robbing lottery company.

cling he construed the law as he b :
heve it TO be, but when he gave his
opinion in the Maggie case he gave an
influenced opinion to save Field
and now Field is mean enough to ex-
pose this fact 10 the world. That
miller did not believe he was pro-
mitigating good law at tbs time Field
was in danger, is now most pitsously
apparent. But Field seems to glory
in rubbing his triumph into the pub

that the U. S. law had precedence
over the State law; now he cores

and holds that the United States law
does not have precedence over the

The Reno Journal publishes tho
following:
The rumors published in the Wash
ington correspondence of The San
Francisco papers, that Francis G..
Newlands would contest for the {.
S. Senatorship from Nevada seems
to be wholly without foundation Mr..
Eewlands and his family are now on
the briny deep on their way to
Europe. They left New York last
Wednesday on the Steamship Teu>
tonic, and will probably remain
abroad some time.
The departure Of Mr.. NewlaDds at
this time for Europe, implies that he
will not be in the field for any office

announced as candidate for Repre-
sentative in Congress last Spring but
that was doubtless intended as joke

If he intended to run for either POI

bly, it may DO arranged to give the

ton for Congressman as he might

than . resident of the State, and if
such an arrangement is made, the
fact that he has gone to Europe will
not make any difference. 1t is more
