CHAPTER XLII.

Ct1AI1Eh ALL.
When Jane went in she found note
from her mother containing rather start
ling news. The quartermaster had been
so unwell that Mrs. Knox had called in
doctor, who pronounced it to be an
utter breaking-up of health, consequent
on his long residence in the country. and
that the only remedy he could suggest
was a years leave to England.
'"This. of course" wrote Mrs. Knox,
"will be a serious pecuniary loss: but
we must grudge nothing that will restore
to lis YOUR father as he used to be-"
"Ah, that he can never be again.
sighed Jane, as she put down the letter.
She scarcely knew whether to be glad or
sorry at the decision thus announced;
whether it would be relief to go or
| oreat grief. "How could she," she asked
herself. 'Ieave India, not knowing wheth-
or she might ever see her lovers face
| again?"
She thought of going home at once,
| much as she dreaded the meeting with
her father; then glancing again at the
| letter she saw that Mrs. Knox expressly
| desired she would not shorten her visit,
which in any case would be at an end in
few days.
Those last days, how Jane enjoyed
them!
Stephen Prinsep, who came every day,
! scarcely recognized her in this new mood.
| Was it frivolity or heartlessness, or the
! excitement engendered by despair? May
be the last conjecture was nearer the
truth than she herself knew.
| They never saw each other alone, so

again. An outsider would have thought
them merely friends. Jane herself was
often reminded of the time when her en-

FILIBUSTERS GUILTY.
The Leaders of the HorSa Expedi-
ton Are Likely to Go
to- Prison.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 2S.-The jury
in the case of Capt. Wigerb, First Mate
Peterson and Second Mate Johansen,
who were on trial in the United States
district court charged with violating the
neutrality laws between this country and
Spain by carrying an armed expedition
to Cuba on the steamer Horsa, has re-
turned verdict of guilty. The verdict
was reached after eight hours delibera-
ton. Counsel for the prisoners gave no
tice that he would make application for
new trial and the convicted men were tax
en- to prison, where they will remain
until brought up for sentence.
New York, Feb. 2S.--The United
States authorities have taken a step in
the Bermuda case that gives great sat
isfaction to the Cubans. Heretofore
there has been no legal process in con-
nection with the seizure of the steamship
and the lighter, and the lighters cargo
of arms and ammunition. They were de-
tanned under executive orders, the Presi-
dent Of the United States having power
to act in such cases. But last night At
torney McFarlane filed a libel and infor-
nation on behalf of the government on
the cargo of the Stranahan.

ticipated proclamation of Capt.-Gen.
Weyler TO the insurgents of the island OF
Cuba. It has not yet been published
here or elsewhere. but will be issued
shortly and will say:

Refugees from the towns of Punta
Brara and Guayato, twelve miles away,
have arrived ut Havana, and say that Il
reign of terror exists in their locality in
consequence of troops having massacred
peaceable citizens at Guayato, already
briefly announced by correspondents of
American newspapers.
According to official announcements
Gomez and Maceo have been trying to
effect a junction. but have so far failed
to do so on account of the close manner
in which they have been pressed by the
troops whenever they are located. Both
of the insurgent leaders, it is asserted,
have been continually compelled to re-
treat before the advance of the troops.

declared Jane, with decision
"Ah, you must not say that! Selim was
only rash, not vicious. It would not be
fair to condemn any one for single
fault"
She gave swift glance into his face,
wondering if he were pleading for himself
or only Selim. To avoid her scrutiny he
turned and took his horse from the ma
tive who was holding it. Then mount
ing, he rode along quietly by her side.
The winter sun that shone coldly seem

softly behind her; there was, too, a

there before Everything looked bright
and beautiful that afternoon, thought
Stephen Prinsep, but nothing so bright,
so beautiful as his whilom sweetheart.
After time their relations grew less
strained, yet also less full of tremulous
delight They were talking as ordinary
acquaintance might have talked, when
at last they reached the bungalow gates.
Then Colonel Prinsep said, earnestly,
and without connection to what they had
been saying before:
Jenny, will you do what am going to
ask? Will you ask Mrs. Knox to tell you
the whole story about Jacob Lynn's let

A little nervously she promised; and

looking at her with gentle gravity. An

tensely Indian, yet Stephen Prinsep
found his thoughts insensibly reverting
to his English home, with its trim flower
beds and well-kept walks. In fancy he
could almost imagine that even now he
was walking under the avenue of chest
nuts with his bride, pointing out to her
each familiar spot they passed.

THE KITTY WHO WANTED A
NAME.

Such dirty little kitten!l Some folks
called it lazy kitten. But, if they had
not any home, and every one they met
said. "Scattw and kept them running
all day, perhaps they might feel just a
bit lazy, too.
To day kitty hadn't even had time to
wash her white feet or the white spots
on her nose and breast. This made her
feel very badly; for she was very proud
of those white spots, because it showed
that she was related to the great White
Cat family, even though she had no
name herself.
just hink-a kitty without a name!
But what could she.do? She couldn't
name herself, and there was no one to
give her a name. She tried to get &C.
quainted with the nice, clean little cats
who had homes and names; but it was
hard work Sometimes the little boys
and girls who owned the clean little cats
would scare her away. To day no one
had been kind at all. Every one had
said, Scat" And now, as she was creep
ing along close to fence, she saw boy
and dog; this made tremble all over.
She tried to keep out of sight, but it was
too late. The boy saw her. The dog
saw her, too; and kitty had climb over
the fence, although she was tired, for she
was afraid of dogs.
On the other side what do you sup
pose she found? A little girl coming
home from the kindergarten. The little
girl said. "Oh, you poor, cunning little
kittenv' and held out her hande.
Kitty had been called poor" a great
many times. but she wasn't sure any one
had ever called her cunning" That
sounded so nice, the way the little girl
said it.
Kitty was too tired to run, so she let
the little girl take her up. why, you
dear kitty. you're shaking all over. You
must have dreadful cold. Let me take
you into the house and warm your feet,
and give you some hot milk, little kitty"
And kitty didn't squirm one bit. She
let the little girl take her into the house,
and she had some nice milk. She heard
the lady tell the little girl that she might
keep the kitty. This made her feel so
happy that she began at once to wash
herself very carefully, for now she would
have home.
And then they said, "Of course, she
must have a name" That made her
feel SO very, very, very happy that she
just ran round and round, and chased
her tail. and was happier than she had
ever been before in her whole life.
"Now, mamma, what shall we call
herr" asked the little girl. Mamma
thought "Whitefoot." or kitty White
or some name with white" in it would
be nice; and kitty thought SO. too. But
the little girl said: mo; we must have
name out of book. long name
Please bring the dictionary, mamma"
They brought the big, big dictionary
and looked and looked. At last mamma
said: How will 'Peregrine White dol
That is in the dictionary. 1t is long
and has white in it, too, so that we
could call the kitty 'Whitefoot' when We
wished. 1t is the name of the first white
child born in New England"
"And this is my first kitty" said thu
little girl. THAT is just the same.
And kitty thought so, too, as she curle(
up on the mat and went fast asleep in I
home of her own, and with name o
her own with white" in it.-Carrie M
