| if Mr.. Monk wanted to go through tho
marriage ceremony with that child he
had some special and mysterious rea-
son for SO doing, unless-which was
scarcely possible-he was of a senti-
mental disposition, and, in the manner
of many men advanced towards middle
age, was enamored of Matt youth and
inexperiencc.
Tell me. Matt" said Brinkley. after
bordering the matter for some MN
utes; tell me how long you have
known this MIR. Monk?''
Ever since came ashore" was the
reply.
"Humph!-is he well to do?-rich?"
Matt nodded emphatically.
''All Aberglyn belongs to him. she
said, land the woods up there, and the
farms, and the horses up at the big
house, and-everything.'
and though he is such great per-
son, he is very friendly with William
Jones?'
''Oh. yes" answered Matt: "and
think William Jones is afraid of him
sometimes: but he gives William Jones
money for keeping me.
''Oh, indeed! He gives him money,
does, he? That's rather kind of him,

At this Matt shook her head with
great decision, but said nothing. Great

her, and unused. 1t was clear that
there was mystery somewhere, and
he was getting interested. Presently
he invited Matt to sit down on the
steps of the caravan, and he placed
himself at her side. He was too alb

sat there together.
''You have often told me that you
came ashore" he said, after long
pause. Il should like to know some

A TRANSFORMATION.

Twas but a narrow, city way
Filled by busy throng,
Before heard that sun-briGht day
A blacl.Cird's joyous song;
Transformed was that sQualid street
The while his loud notes rang
The early dcws were round my feet
The cowslips round me sprang
No COMMON sounds were in my ear:
Iheard the ringdove's cry,
The thrushes singing sweet and clear,
The slylark's chanson high:
The wind that famed my brow had como
Ger daiSicd hills and leas,
Der hollows pale with hawthorn foam
And wild anemones
His amber rain the sun-god shed:
saw the greeninR haze
OF opening buds OF boughs o erhead;
saw the gorse-gold's blaze;
Isaw the crimson fr-cones sway
On odorous larch and pine;
A blackbirds song on that spring day
Made viewless glories mine

Following is an extract from the
hitherto unpublished diary of the See

AT 6 p. m. dinner was announced.
when we all sat down in apparent good
spirits. and our actions declared orr
appetites fully equal to those spirits.
Gen. Bonaparte ate of every dish at the
table. using his fingers instead of q
fork. seeming to prefer the rich dishes
to the plain dressed food, and not even
tasting vegetables. Claret was his
beverage. which he drank out Of y
tumbler, keeping the bottle before him.
He conversed the whole of dinner
time, combining his conversation prin-
cipally to the admiral with whom he
talked over the whole Of the Russian
campaign and attributed the failure Of
it in the first instance To the burn
ing of Moscow. in the next to the frost
setting in much sooner than was ex-
pected. He said he meant only to
have refreshed his troops for four or
five days and then to have pushed on
for st. Petersburg. but finding all his
plans frustrated by the burning of
Moscow and his army likely to perish
he hurried back to Paris, setting ont
with chosen bodyguard. one-half of
which was frozen to death the FIRST
night. He said nothing could be more
horrible than the retreat from Mos

owing to the constant succession of
villages in flames. which arose in every
direction as far as the eye could reach.
He said the burning of these villages,
as well as of Moscow. was attributed
to his troops, bnt that it was invaria-
bly, done by the natives.
after dinner he did not drink wine.
but he took glass of noyau after his
coffee, previous to rising from table.

BISMARCK ON AMERICA.

Some Things Said by the Ex-Chancellor
to Caller Mt Friedrichsruhe.
Bismarck, in talking about America,
said: 1.-The security and strength OF
your country lie in the fact that the
American race is mixed one-a Sam
melvolk.' History has never made a
great people in any other way. Look
at France. 1t was the invasions from
Italy and the north that gave her bone
| and sinew. Spain was strongest be-
cause she sucked in Iberian blood.
And England, what made her SO great?
Not the invasion of the Anglo-SaXOns
only. but the fact that they joined
hands with the Normans. A people
may be comfortable and prosperous
without an influx of foreign blood, but
it will cease to be capable of great
things whenever that ceases" Con.
tinuing. he said: THE Americans. to
my mind, have overdone the Columbus
worship. The Norwegians were the
first discoveries and settlers of Amer
lea. Columbus was map and
chart-maker. and. before setting out
on his own voyage. had positive proof
of the existence of other continents
And it would have been far better for
America and her early history had the
settlement continued to be by Nor
wegians and other hardy tribes from
the north. The Spaniards made bad
beginning in America
Some one suggested that they did
less harm to America than the discOv-
cry of American gold did to Spain:
that the history of ,church and state in
the days of Philip H.. and the subjuga-
ton of the Netherlands. showed what
terrible power for evil there had been
in the great piles Of gold brought over
from the new world. Bismarck touched
upon the church history of many lands
with the vigor and in the cold-steel
light Of the ultra-Protsstant spirit Of
north Germany. First it was Luther
and then it was Cromwell who seemed
to be before me-. Carlyle once said:
Indeed, he is the nearest approach to
= Cromwell that is possible in our de-
generate times Bismarck then
poured forth memories of the ultra
montana contests in which the Roman
Catholics of Germany were torn be-
tween loyalty to country and all-suf.
fcring loyalty to ehureh.-Century.

CHAPTER VII.

MATT GhOWS MATRIMONIAL
That night the young man of the
caravan had curious dreams, and
throughout them all moved like a pre-
siding fairy Matt of Aberglyn. Some
times he was wandering on stormy
shores, watching the wrecks of mighty
argosies; again he was in mysterious
caverns underneath the ground, search
ing for and finding buried treasure;
still again he was standing on the
decks of storm-tossed vessels. while
the breakers Numbered close at hand
and the bale-fres burned on lonely
headlands. But at all times and in all
places Matt was his companion.
And, curiously enough, Matt in his
dream was very different to the Matt
of waking reality: taller and brighter
in fact, as beautiful as a vision can
be: so that his spirit was full of a
strange sensation of love and pity, and
the touch of the warm little hand dis
/ turbed his spirit with mysterious joy.
So vivid did this foolish dream become
at last that he found himself seated
on sunny rock by the sea by Mats
side; and he was talking to her like a
lover, with his arm around her waist,
and she turned to him, with her great
eyes fixed on his, and kissed him over
and over again so passionately that
he awolze!
| 1t was blowing hard, and the rain
was pelting furiously on the roof Of
the caravan. He tried to 90 to sleeE

nj they says be true.
Rrinkley looked at his host for a
minute or SO in silent wonder. for the
little man was transformed. Instead
Of gazing upon him with the stupid ex-
preston which up till now his face had
wore. his face expressed all the keen
ness of fox-hound well on the scent.
There was also another curious thing
which the young man noticed: the
word wreck" seemed to act like magic
ON the other members of the Jones
household. At the first mention of it
the old man started from his sleep: and
he now sat staring wildly before him,
evidently imagining he was standing

out of his trance. 1T warn't SO long

Matt?"
But whatever Matt knew she evil
IDENTIFY meant to keep to herself, for
she gave no reply. Presently, after a
little more general conversation,
Brinkley rose to 60. He offered a
two shilling piece to William Jones;
and, somewhat to his amazenent, that
worthy accepted it gratefully.
''Good-by, Matt" said Brinkley. But
in trice Matt was beside him.
I'm going to show you the way"
she explained as she went out with
him into the air.
'Whew!" said Brinkley when they
were fairly clear of the cabin; 1.-The
open air is better than that den; but
then William Jones is very poor, isn't
he, MATTE"
''He says he is"
'But, don't you believe it?''

They went on for awhile in silence;
then Matt, who had been furtively
watching his face all the while. spoke
again:
You amt angry, are you, master?"
she asked.
Il angry-what for?"
"'Cause said that just now"
Dear me, no; whatever you might
say, Matt, wouldn't offend me-"
If he expected to please her by this
he was mistaken.
That's cause you don't care. Well,
don't care neither, if you DON'T
She ran little ahead of him, and
continued to precede him until she
gained the last sand hill, and caught a
glimpse of the caravan. Then she
paused.
"You don't want me to 90 any
further, do you?"
''No."
'All right-good-by."
She gave bound, like young deer,
and prepared for swift run back, but
the young man called her.
Matt, come here!"
She came up to him. He put his arm
about her shoulders, bent over her up
turned face and kissed her. In her i'm
pulsive way Matt returned the kiss
ardently; then, to her amazement, she
gave one strange look into his eyes
blushed violently and hung her head.
''Come, give me another, Matt" he
said.
Bat Matt would not comply. With
one jerk she freed herself from him;
then, swift as lightning, she ran back
across the hills toward the sea.

CHAPTER vL-CoNrINUED.

CHAPTER SL-CONT1NCED.
The old man. who, Brinkley perforce
admitted, certainly bore some resem
blance to the Rembrandtish head
which Matt had recognized, sat doing
fitfully by the hearth, while his sor
was busily employed in mending an Ole
lantern.
Upon the entrance of Brinkley the
lantern was quickly thrown aside, and
William Jones. assuming 4 most OBJ
seQuious manner, FASTENED to give a
welcome to the stranger. Brinkley
was amused. He accepted William
Jones' offer of Il seat, then he lit UP
his brier-roOt pipe, and. while smoking
lazily. he put few questions to his
host But if he expected to gain in
formation of any kind he was soon un-
deceived. William Jones was no fool.
Combined with excessive avarice, he
possessed all the cunning of the fox,
and the moment he saw that the
stranger was pumping him he was on
his guard.
Presently, however, his curiosity
gained the day. Categorically, in his
turn, he began to question Brinkley
about his doings.
81 suppose now, MASTER" said he,
'.you travel about q deal in that cart
o your'n?"
Brinkley explained that the scarf
in question had been in his possession
only few months.
''But I travelled a good deal before

year I was in Ireland"
