CHAPTER XVI.
CONGRATULATIONS

For more than fortnight Monckton
was confined to his bed with the inju-
fies he had received, which proved far
more serious than he had been willing
at first TO admit. His youth and an ex-
cellent constitution prevailed, however,
much to Joyce's delight. The over
seer. narrow. pigheaded and obstinate
while invested with the cloak of au-
thority, when reduced to his proper
condition Of subservience developing
some surprising traits, among them q
devoted affection for his master, proved
most efficient nurse. Regularly ev-
cry morning he brought into the sick
room large bouquet Of flowers, which
he arranged in vase On the table near
the bed. From Miss Duke, who has
Just asked after you most particularly,
sir" he would say. Observing the faint
flush upon the invalid's cheek with
much secret satisfaction.
That is most admirable young
gentlewoman, he remarked ON enc Of
these occasions.
His patient gave his most emphatic
assent.
Just the wife for you, sir. A mine
owner could not find better mate"
Joyce, you are fool" The words
were uttered with smile, but followed
by sigh.
Yes, sir. No doubt Will you take
your broth now, sir:'

HARK FROM THE TOMBS.
Conviction Of Voters Who Came From New
Yark,a Doleful Prison.

Conviction of Voters Who Came From New
YOrk's Doleful Prison.
Three men were convicted in the court
of oyer and terminer on Monday two of
them pleaded guilty. of the offense of
voting from the Tombs in violation of
section of article of the state consti-
tuition, which declares that mo person
shall be deemed to have gained or lost a
residence by reason of his presence or
absence while in the service of the Unit
ed States, or while kept in any aims
house or other asylum at public expense,
or while confined in any public prison. "
The case of the defendant Cady, who
was found guilty by a jury. was peculiar.
He had voluntarily resided for seven
years, without commitment for any Of
tense, in the Tombs. He had no other
home. He was not qualified to vote from
any other domicile. He registered and
voted from the city prison, from which
he readily obtained egress. and he was
tried and convicted. Judge Barrett an
nounced, however, that he would give q
certificate of reasonable doubt, so that
the question whether a man without a
home, except such as he obtains for him
self in a city prison, is actually and to-
tally disfranchised. might be decided by
higher court. The situation is certain
ly an odd one.-New York Sun.

Heavily Insured Monarchs.

The crowned heads of Europe seem to
take . great deal of stock in life insur.
ance. 1t is announced that the king OF
Portugal has just taken out 5000, 0cC
policy on his life, but that is an insig-
nificant investment compared with those
Of some of the other potentates. The
late Emperor Frederick of Germany was
insured for $4.OOO.OOO. The queen re-
gent of Spain has her life insured for q
large amount in behalf Of her two little
daughters, following the example Of hel
husband, whose death mulcted the vari
GUS companies in which he was insured
for s., 600, 900.
King Leopold of Belgium's life is heav.
lily insured, as is also that Of Queen Vic
toria. The queens husband. the late
prince consort, was insured for close up
on s 200, 600, the income of which has
been enjoyed by his widow. About the
only sovereign in Europe who is not in
sured is the car of Russia, the companies
regarding him as too unsafe risk on &C
count of the nihilists.-Boston Herald.

She dropped her head. You still

she murmured. You are unkind.

gravely. Indeed your words aroused
me to sense Of position. and l thank
you for them. Old evils need sharp
cures"
but you have not explained what
has just happened.
Simply Mat the cure came too late
to be efsctual," he replied. with
faint smile. He then gave her an out
li4s Of the events which have been re-
lated. He touched lightly upon his
own share in them, but her woman's
perception supplied the deficiency, and
1t was in an almost humble tone that
she said:
But now that you have done all that
duty requires of you. you will have
nothing more to do with these unreal
sonable men. You will take care of
your own safetyG You will go away

1T is nothing" he insisted, shaking
off the weakness that possessed him.
By this time they were at the cross
road junction and but short distance
from the mine owners dwelling. A
groom had followed, leading Miss
Dukes horse, and a gesture called him
up to the group.

"ass,st Miss Duke to mount. Where is

AS the overseer obeyed. the young
lady leaned from the saddle, and with
a glance which quite melted that

CHAPTER XVII.


North himself had seasons Of bitter
self communion when the truth arose
before him like an accusing ghost and
would not be laid. At such times his
invalid mother would hear him pacing
the floor Of his chamber in the small
but neat cottage which he had built
with his savings, and she would listen,
her heart yearning over this big, hand
some fellow, her only con, divining,
with a mothers love, something Of his
trouble. Once she had painfully toiled
up stairs and found him with his head
resting upon his arms on the table
where he wrote or read at night. When
he sat erect, startled at her entrance,
she saw that his face was stained with
tears which he vainly sought to conceal.
"Oh, Matthew, my boy!'
"Yes, mother. But why are you not
in bed?"
II could not sleep. Matthew. I
heard you walking and walking"
"Heartless brute that / am to be
laundering about in my clumsy boots
at this hour" He placed her frail fig
ure in his armchair and drew up stool
beside her.
Matthew, what is it," she said.
Can you not tell me your trouble?"
Folly, mother, folly and its proper
punishment. There is nothing more to
tell"
Can You not speak freely to your
mother, my boy?" Her voice was won
derfully tender, and she took his large
hard hand between both Of her own and
caressed it gently. ut will ease your

ingly.
