CHAPTER xIII-coNrrNuEp.

The old man, knowing his sons tenn
per, did as he was told, and William
continued TO potter aimlessly about
the room. He was certainly trembling
very much, and was almost overcome
with q nervousness for which he him
self could not account. For he was no
coward TO get possession of a prize
on the high seas he would have faced
n storm which might well make brave
men tremble, not to mention that he
knew that he had on more than one
occasion humanely hastened the end
of the shipwrecked sailors whom he
had found and pillaged on the shore.
After these acts he had been able to
sleep the sleep Of virtue without being
haunted by dead mems eyes. But now
the case was different. He had not to
deal with a victim without friends, q
man whose body, described as that of
a "shipwreckcd mariner" could be
buried and forgotten without more
ado. In all probability there would
this time be hue and cry, and VIII
liam Jones trenbled lest his share In
the ghastly business might ultimately
be discovered.
True, he was not actually the cul-
prit, and so even Mt the worst he
might escape the gallows; but TO q
man Of his sensitive and nffectionate
nature the thought OF transportation

q A wccl; passed away. The shadow
OF the caravan no longer fell on the
green meadow by the lake, and the
struggling population of Aberglyn, un-
suspicious of foul play, had already
forgotten both the caravan and the
owner. ....
And u facts were to be taken into
consideration in estimating the extent
Of her memory, Matt, too, had for
gotten. 1t was common talk now that
she, the grammarless castaway, tho
neglected protege Of William Jones,
was to be married to the master Of the
great house! Nay, the very day was
fixed; and that very day was only two
sunrises distant; and Monk, of Monks
hurst, had in his pocket n special
license, which he had procured, at an
expenditure of five pounds, from Lon

be got up and went to the door; he
could see nothing, but he heard tho
patter Of falling rain, and the low,
dreary moan of the troubled sea.
Hour after hour passed, and Matt
did not come. William Jones began
to doze by the fire--then he sank into
a heavy sleep.
He awoke with start, and found
that 1t was broad daylight. The fire
was out, the rain had ceased to fall,
and the mornings sun was creeping in
ut the windows. lie looked around
and saw that he was still alone. lie
went into MATHS room--it was empty.
She had not returned.
He was now filled with vague un-
easiness. He made up bit of fire and
was about to issue forth again in search
Of the truant, when all further trouble
was saved him-the door opened and
Matt herself appeared.
She seemed almost as much disturbed
as William Jones himself. Her face
was very pale, her hair wild, her dress
In great disorder. She started on see-
ing him, then, assuming a devil-may-
care look, she lounged in:
you're up early, William Jones'"
she said.
Eyes, l am up early" he replied,
gruffly; "'cause why?-'cause | amt
been to bed. And where have you
been?-iest you tell me that"
"Why-I've been out, of course" re-
turned the girl, defsntly.
THAT won't do, Matt" returned
William Jones. Come, you'll jest tell
me where you've been. You amt been
out all night for nothing"
The girl gave him look, half of de-
aance, half of curiosity; then she threw
herself down, rather than sat, upon
chair.
II am tired, I a4," she said, land
hungry and cold"
"Will you tell me where you've been,
Matt?" cried William Jones, trembling
with suspicious alarm.
"Course l will, If you keep quiet"
said the girl in answer. "There amt
much to tell neither. / were away
along to Pancroes when the heavy
rain came on, then lay down behind
q haystack and fell asleep, and when
woke up it was daylight and l come
home"
william Jones looked at her stead
fastly and long; then, as IL satisfied,
he turned away. About an hour later
he left the hut and walked along the
shore straining his eyes seaward. But
instead of looking stcadfastly at one
spot, rs his custom was, he paused
now and again to gaze uneasily about
him. At every sound he started and
turned pale. In truth, he was becom-
ing veritable coward-afraid almost
of the sound of his own footsteps on
the sands.

HOLIDAYS IN COLONIAL TIMES.
Public Oficials Took Life Easy When New
York Was a British Colony.


Public Offcials Took Life Easy When New
York Was n British Colony.
Public functionaries performing Off
cial duties in halcyon days Of old New
York, when it was a British colony,
had a pretty easy time of 1t. Their pay
was liberal and was sure. His majesty,
the king OF Great Britain, was careful
of his servants. and there were plenty
of holidays. A contrast between the
number Of these and the number
legally observed at present shows how
much more time for pleasure and
recreation the old-time officials were
permitted to enjoy. The legal holidays
in the New York departments are New
Years day, Washington's birthday,
Decoration day, independence day,
Labor day, election day. Thanksgiving
day and Christmas daylight In all,
exclusive of the Saturday half holiday.
These are the eight days observed In
the city and in the federal departments
of New York. Here is list OF the
holidays observed at the New York
custom house in the last year OF Eng
lish rule:
New Years day, the queens birth
day. anniversary Of King Charles exc
cution, Shrove Tuesday, Ash Wednes-
day, Lady day, Good Friday, Easter

English officials in New York believed
above all things else in having good
time. They did not regard n public
Office as public trust. They dislilsed
pernicious activity, and, above all, de-
sired plenty Of time for rccuperation
from their arduous duties. Some OF
the pretcxts for abandoning worl;

CHAPTER XIV.

Several days passed away, during
which William Jones showed a strange
and significant affection for his own
ircsidc. He went out little in the
sunlight; but directly night came he
locked and barricaded the door as II
against thieves, and declined, on any
induccment, to cross the threshold.
Even had three-detker gone ashore
In the neighborhood he would have
thought twice before issuing forth into
the dreaded darkness
For William Jones was genuinely
afraid; his hereditary calm of mind
was shaken, not so much with horror
at a murderous decd, as with constcr-
nation that his lifelong secret had
been discovered by ono man, and
might, sooner or later, be discovered
by others. lie did not put implicit
faith even in Monk; IL was his nature
to trust nobody where money was con-
cerned.
As to returning back to the cave un-
til he had quite recovered his equanim-
ity, that was out of the question.
Even by daylight he avoided the spot
with holy horror. Only in his dreams,
which were dark and troubled, did he
visit ito see the face OF the muir
dcred man in the darkness, and the
hand of the murdered man pointing at
him with cold, decnying finger.
The day after the murder he had
been greatly unsettled by a visit from
Tim Linney, who demanded news of
his master and said that he had not re-
turned TO the caravan all night Tim
seemed greatly troubled, but gave vent
to no very violent ebullitions of grief
When he was done Matt sat by the fire.

"What are you staring at?' cried he,

claimed the good man, rather incon-
sistcntly. "You mind your own busi-

turned testify and gazed at the fire.
But Matt, whose eyes were full Of q
curious light, was not TO be abashed.
"Ain't you well. William Joncs?" she
asked.

Great Confusion and Lack of Discipline

der Of The Rebel Admiral for Talk
Ing Against Rebellion.

New YORK, Sep. 20.-A special from
Montevideo, Uruguay, says that it Is not
known there yet whether Rio Janeiro has
been taken by the naval revolters or
whether their bombardment of the capital
has ceased All correspondence with Bra
zil has now been cut of by the postal au-
thorities
Passengers who reached Montevideo
from Rio Janeiro by the steamer Magda-
lena say that when they left the city was
In state Of approaching panic.
The rebel squadron was attacking forti-
fed points on the bay shore, and all the
forts, except Santa Cruz, were either neu-
tral or favorable to Admiral Mello.
Ammunition and provisions for the
Santa Cruz garrison had given out.
There was much confusion and lack of
discipline in the army, though it was yet
nomnally faithful to President Peixot o.
All vessels arriving were kept outside the
blockade lines
Naval officers on shore have declined
commands offered them by Peixoto, de-
claring that they could not fight against
their former commander, Admiral Mello.
The general opinion Of the Magdalena's
passengers is that Peixoto must succumb
unless the foreign powers interfere in his
behalf Ruy Barboza says he had to seek
refuge with the Chilian Legation In Rio in
order to escape Peixoto's vengeance. He
finally got away In disguise and made good
his escape.
The captain Of the Magdalena says Rio
is practically in a state of anarchy.
The editor of the Rio Heraldo, Span
lard, has been brutally murdered by army
officers owing to his outspoken support Of
Mello
The Brazilian Minister mt Montevideo
received telegraphic dispatches from Rio
yesterday, but refused to divulge their con-
tents He hints that.the news they con-
tain Is grave.
The Brazilian gunboat which has been
stationed at Santos and for time remained
faithful to Peixoto has at last joined the
rebel navy.
The report OF the desertion of Peixoto
by the Bania, Pernambuco and the whole
Rio Grande squadron, is fully confirmed.
On board the Aquidaban Deputy Seabra
and q lieutenant of marines have been
shot by order of the rebel admiral for at
tsmpts to discourage the crew with
prophecies Of defeat by Peixoto and sub
ssquent punishment.
