to the Temple mansion. They were
conversing earnestly as they dis
mounted.
II insist, Judge, that you follow him
TO Richmond and demand satisfaction.
l cannot understand how he could have
disappeared so quickly"
Mizraim, after his master fell into
the company of the Judge, had FASTENED
home and now stood by the side of the
colonel, who suddenly started forward,
as he cried:
There is the villain" and, carried
away with infinite passion, hastily
drew a revolver, leveling it at Marion,
who was advancing and scarcely ten
PAGES distant. The excited man did
not perceive that his daughter was
fast approaching from the house.
Papa" she cried in glad accents,
not observing his tragic movement.
The eyes of Marion had been fixed
upon the girl too, and he had seen
nothing. Mlzraim, who had not LOSE
a gesture of his master, rushed forward
and wrested the weapon from the old
mans grasp, concealing it about his
own person and then quickly returned
to the horses.
The amazed colonel saw his lovely
daughter embodied in the embrace of
the man he had been so near to killing,
and then, turning to the judge, cried
in dismay:
Il have indeed been mad. | should
have known that no Marion could do a
dishonorable thing"
Colonel" said Marion, approaching
with the happy girl at his side, Grace
and desire your consent TO cur mar
riage. That newspaper paragraph was
an infamous"
Gentlemen have no need to make
explanations one to another, my dear
Marion. You may have Grace, and
may God bless the union. Excuse me
for a moment" he cried, as though
suddenly reminded of an important
duty. Then he hastened in the direc-
tion of Mizraim, who was leading away
the horses.
"Mizraim. l have changed my mind.

maintained strenuously that the law
was made only for the weak. He had
no patience with those who appealed
to the arbitrament of the courts. Still
he was a most gentle. quiet man who
never disputed, declined to take any
active part in politics. and entertained
with an easy grace that is the charm
of true Virginia hospita ity.
1t was the evening of the day before
the 22d of February and the colonel
drove home from WoOdville in excellent
spirits. Every arrangement had been
thoroughly completed and the weather
promised to be auspicious on the NOR
row. Before he entered the house old
Mizraim encountered him.

This intelligence added to the good
humor of the all-hospitable master of
the house, whose handsome face was
covered over with a smile as he en-
tered the great hall of the noble
old colonial manor that his great
grandfather had built. He was sur
prised that Grace did not greet him ac-
cording to her custom. for he was sure
she must have heard his voice. Search
ing anxiously about he found her in n
corner bathed in tears and sobtiug as
though her heart would break.

Without uttering word she placed
in his hands Richmond paper and
pointed to a brief paragraph His eyes
opened wide in astonishment as he
read:

young lawyer, and Miss Hattie. daugh-
ter of John W. Powell, the well-known

The father was silent for some mo-
ments as he stood over his idol, whose
hair he strolled gently. Finally he
asked, in unsteady tones:

ly, as she threw her arms upward and
clasped them about his neck.

Then she told him, as a weary child

making complaint to its mother, that
while no formal betrothal had taken
place she had every assurance of his
love and, indeed, it was his expressed
purpose to ask her hand in marriage
during the coming visit. She could not
understand his perfdy; she must not,
she could not doubt, yet there were
the words in cold. cruel type.
"He is an unmitigated scoundrel,
and you must forget him, my child"
Then he sought to soothe her by
! comforting words, but, alas! there is
no balm for a heart thus wounded.
Mans perfdy is more cruel than the
knife of the assassin or the poison of
the asp.
After long time he persuaded her
to 60 to her room and seek sleep; but,
as for him, he walked his apartment
all night. His face grew very stern in
! this long vigil and there was infinite
menace in it as he came out to his
breakfast. Grace had sent word that
she was unable to leave her room. but
she insisted that he take part in the
days celebration. Learning from his
daughters maid that her mistress was
in no alarming condition, the colonel
| left the house in search of MiZraim.
There will be no company here to-
day and you may tell Piney that she
need not go to your young mistress for
any orders"

The day was glorious. A gentle
southwest wind blew fragrance from
the great swamp, rustling the mistle-
toe clumps in the boughs of the big
gum trees and waving to and fro the
pendant graymoss that hung down
from the spreading branches of the
great beech trees on the ridges. which
seemed like so many giants with long,
struggling locks. 1t touched the slen-
der fingers of the pines until they
played a mournful melody and caused
the bright green leaves of the bay tree
to send forth ripples of laughter. The
| gloomy colonel, however, as he passed
in turn the swamp, the beech and the
pine groves, had no eye for the weird
scenery and no ear for the voices of the
| Stirred trees.
Equally he did not regard the i'm
mense crowds that had already gath
cred in the streets of Woodville. The
imposing pageant was lost upon him.
He spoke now and then to those who
addressed him, but he moved about as
one in a dream. Still less did he OBJ
serve that old Mizraim had followed
him to town and was dodging about
closely in his rear.

seemed as though he were being who
had lived and moved with Washington
and gained his confidence, SO that he
knew his inner soul. In most graphic
manner he told of the simple life of the
planter of Mount Vernon, the heroic
endurance of the commander of the
tattered forces at Valley Forge, the
master spirit of the constitutional con-
vention, the supreme first president of
the republic. Then he closed with an
impassioned outburst, in which he re-
cited the exalted virtues of the i'm
mortal Washington and urged the
emulation of them upon his hearers.
The orator utterly eciipsed his previ-

Ex-MINIsTER STEVENS DEAD.
Death of Diplomat who Gained some
Notoriety in the Hawaiian Revolution.


Notoriety in the Hawaiian Revolution.
AUGUSTA, Me, Feb. John L.
Stevens. ex-minister to Hawaii. died
last night after a brief illness of COM
plication of diseases. Mr.. Stevens was
q pupil in statecraft of the late James
G. Blaine. The two were at one time,
back in the ifties, joint editors and
publishers of the Ke lnebec Journal.
He was made United States minister
to Sweden under President Garfield in,
1881, and minister to Hawaii in 1889.
Mr.. Stevens part in the Hawaiian
revolution is of too recent date TO be
forgotten. At the request of a COM
mittee of safety, composed of Hawaii
ans in opposition to the queen, he per-
mitted the landing of United States
marines from the warship Boston for
the purpose of protecting the life and
property of American citizens. In let
tiers to Mr.. Blaine. then secretary of
state, he pointed out the advisability
of annexing the Sandwich islands
to the United States. The
suggestion. which had the indorse-
ment of Mr.. Blaine, was fOrnu-
lated into a treaty, which was sub
mitted to congress. Mr.. Cleveland's-
administration, however, reversed all
action taken and ordered an investiga-
tiOn of Mr.. Stevens acts. 1t was
claimed that he furthered more than
was consistent with his Office the
downfall of Queen Liluokalani, in fact,
that without his assistance. the flag of
the new republic would not then have
been raised.
