tigation into the manner In which the

Quoted. And ifit were found that the
mower Of the Government was not suf-
icient the National Banking laws

SECOND PIcoTT SUGGESTED.
Michael Davitt Answers Accusations of
the "Times" Regarding Dynamiters.


LONDON, Jan 4.-The explosion at
Dublin castle has brought out many
theories to accout for the affair. The
Conservative organs, as rule, have
placed the responsibility upon the
shoulders of the leaders of the "physi-
cal force" party, and this has had the
effect OF drawing from Mr.. Michael
Davitt letter, which he sent to the
Times for publication.
In this letter Mr.. Davitt protests that
it is cowardly for the Times to insinu-
ate that the explosion might be traced
to his friend Ford. Mr.. ~Davitt says it
is more proba ble-as the Times friend
Pigott is dead-that that p per h S an
other agent to preach the gospel of
dynamite as Pigott did the gospel of
forgery. Mr.. Davitt also suggests that
the explosion was due to one of the
governments menials, who caused it
with the object of infue ncing the COM
ing election at Rosedale to fill the
vacancy in the House of Commons
caused by the elevation of Lord Hart
ington, now the Duke of Devonshire,
to the House of Lords.

priests of Brooklyn and this city are
wondering who will succeed the late
Bishop Loughlin. The appointed
power is vested solely in the Pope. The
list of candidates for the deceased pre-
late's charge isvery large. Vicar Gen
eral Farley is mentioned freely. A
good many believe that he may be the
successful aspirant. Should the Pope
deem it wise to make a transfer from
some other diocese Bishop Spaulding
of Peoria, H., is among the probabili-
ties. Bishop Farrell of Trenton is a
possibility.

the decree prohibiting the expectation
OF flour the fraud might never have
been discovered. One thousand wagon
loads of corn which was sold by large

has been found to be similarly adul-

CHAPTER XIX.
CAPTAIN LANGToN DESPERATE.

CAPTAIN lsANGlON DISpERA1Es
A short period of calm fell upon. Darrell
Court. Miss Dauel's passion seemed to
have exhausted itself.
Il Will never believe" she said one day to
Miss Hastings, that Sir Oswald meant what
he said. | am beginning to think it was
merely a threat-the DarrellS are all hot-tem-
pered."
But Miss Hastings had heard more than
she liked to tell her pupil, and she knew that
what the baronet had said was not only quite
true, but that preparations for tho marriage
had actually commenced.
II am afraid it was 10 threat, Pauline"
she said, sadly.
Then let the new conner be ware" said the
girl, her face darkening. "lVhocver she may
be. let her beware. | might have been n
good woman, but this will make me wick
ed one. shall live on!y for revenge"
A change came over her. The improve
ment that Miss Hastings had so fondly no.
ticed, and of which she had been so proud,
died away. Pauline seemed no longer to
take any interest in reading or study. She
would sit for hours in gloomy, Sullen silence,
with an distracted look on her face What
was passing in her mind no one knew. Miss
Hastings would so to her, and try to rouse
her; but Pauline grew impatient
do leave me i'll peace" she would say.
"Leaye me to my own thoughts. lam franz
Ing my plans"
And the smile that came with the words
filed poor Miss Hastings with terrible appre-
tensions as to the future of her strange, will
full pupil.
The captain was still at the Court. He
had had some vague idea OF rushing off to
London; but letter from one of his most
intimate friends warned him to keep out OF
the way until some arrangement could be
made about his affairs. More than one angry
creditor was waiting for him: indeed the
gallant captain had brought his affairs to
such pass that his appearance in London
without either money or the hope of it would
have been highly dangerous.
lie was desperate. Sir Oswald had limited
to him, since the failure of their plan, tina,
he should not be forgotten in his will. lie
would have borrowed money from him but
for that hint; but he did not care to risk the
loss of many thousand pounds for the sake
Ct fifteen hundred.
Fifteen hundred-that was all he wanted
II he could have gone back to London the
betrothed husband of Pauline Darrell, he
c0ltd nave borrowed as many thousands; bu
that chance was gone: and he could have
cursed the girliSh caprice that deprived hin
OF SO splendid fortune. In his heart fierce
love and fierce hate warred together; there
were times when he felt that he loved Pau
line with a passion words could not describe
