CHAPTER XIV.-(CoNTINUED.
The slips of paper we're certificates
one of the marriage Of Julian Lorraine
and Margaret, the other OF the birth Oh
Viola.
Now knew ALL rested still and
pictured my poor girls unspeakaole
horror when she read that fatal letter
and learned that her husband was her
fathers son by what she supposed was
a former wife. l seemed to see her
struck down in the first flush OF the
welded happiness, even as 1 had been
struck down. l seemed to enter into
her thoughts, to feel that 1t was impos-
sible she could meet me again. could
hear her agonized entreaties to Grant
to bear her away and hide her from
me. could understand now why she
took no steps to clear her name in my
eyes. How she even wished me to
think her perjured and faithless, so
long as the secret could be kept from
me-so long as did not suffer as she
suffered. Yes! / could understand
what, rightly or wrongly, she and
Grant had striyen to do for my sake!
On what a chance life turns! Why
had 1 never told Viola the story of my
birth and strange adoption? Why had
/ never told Grant? 1t would have
cleared matters in second.
Strange to say, it had never occurred
to me to mention it b either Of them.
After I had succeeded to my reputed
fathers wealth my position was so as
sured-it seemed to me so natural to
be thought and called the dead mans
son-that in sober truth my real origin
had all but faded from my mind. For
years had scarcely given 1t thought.
But ground my teeth now, as I re-
flected how a simple chance might
have made me speak, and so saved my
wife and myself from more than two
years Of misery!
Then the idea came to me that every
moment which elapsed before Viola
learned the news was one of sorrow to
her. I sprang to my feet and went in
search of Grant.
Good fellow! found he had already
packed his portmanteau and was busily
engaged on mine.
"If you make haste we shall just
catch the Southampton train" he said.
thanked him by look. / tossed
things into my portmanteau higgledy-
piggledy, and In three minutes we were
on our way back to France.

hours the quay at Southampton, I had
the satisfaction Of being so many miles
nearer to Viola.
Shall I ever forget that crossing! The
night was fair. No thought of sleep
came to me. 1 sat on deck all night,
gazing out over the sea: looking out
for the two great lights on Cape de
la Heve; listening to the steady, mo-
notonous thump, thump, thump Of the
engines, and knowing that every revo-
luton of the paddle-wheels was bear
ing me nearer to Viola; or leaned
over the side Of the boat andswatched
the kissing water flying behind in
foaming white track. I felt that was
being borne away from all my troubles
and that the path the sturdy ship
plowed through the moon-lighted sea
was one which led me to unspeakable
happiness. was alone with my
thoughts nearly all the time. Grant,
llkeaw wise man, had gone below to court
sleep. Perhaps, in spite Of the Joy he
felt in the approaching happiness of
his friends, my ceaseless and oft-re-
peated questions became a trife mo-
notonous. He had to assure me a
thousand times that one at least of his
messages would reach Viola in time to
stay her departure. He had tele-
graphed to the steamer, as we'll as to
the Hotel de pEurope, at which he
knew she was staying. He had simply
said, ION no account go tomorrow"
and felt certain she would counter
mand her journey and await explaRa-
tlons.
Would she? Would few words from
him change her plans? What should
do If we reached Havre after the
American steamer had sailed, and that
after all Viola had gone in her?
"Do?" said Grant. take the next
boat and follow her. It will be but
the delay of week, and the voyage
will do you good"
But l could not contemplate with
equanimity the thought Of Viola's
spending another week in Ignorance Of
the truth. So Grant, had again and
again to assure me that we should GER
tainly find her at Havre with his sister,
who accompanied her thither and had
promised to see her safely on board
the steamer.

To assert IN vigorous terms the American
doctrine to which the nation will adhere
is net to cause war. To strengthen navy
and coast Notifications is not to bring war
nearer. Both firm declaration and timely
prepar alton make for peace. There will be
nc war between the United States and
England, because the republic is right in
the position which it has taken, Is united
In sustaining it, and will be prepared u
enforce it; and also because the English
premier Is wrong in contemptuously reject
ing the suggestion Of arbitration, and will
not be backed to the point of war on this
issue by the deliberate Judgment of the
English people. Under the circumstanc
American firmness and posftiveness If I'M
accompanied by buster, foster peace and
indefinitely postpone war. With adults
as well as children. with nations as well
as individuals, 1t often happens that there
IS nothing so coEciliating as a little sever

Of the commission. Mr.. White has had
varied experience abroad in diplomatic mat
tiers, and as Minister to Germany and Rus
STA he secured wide acquaintance with the
affairs of Europe that may stand him in
good stead in the present inquiry. Mr..
Coudert's standing as a member of the bar
Is SO high that he may be justly termed one
of Americas very foremost lawyers. OF
French extraction, he is familiar with that
language and with other Latin tongues, and
thus he may become one. of the hardest
workers on the commission, for a knowl-
edge Of Spanish and perhaps of other Ian
guages may prove invaluable to the bound
airy investigators. Mr.. Couderts appoint
ment Is not apt to please the English people,
for he Is an earnest enthusiastic believer in
the present appropriateness of the Monroe
Doctrine. and Ills work as one Of the counsel

of President Monroe.
Personally. politically and practically, the
commission Is a strong one. The five men
chosen by the President are all good Ameri-
cans. and their verdict in the case will be
accepted by the nation as an honest, i'm
partial conclusion. AS outlined by Mr.
Cleveland's message of December II, they
will weigh all the evidence that may be at
tainable bearing upon the boundary dispute,
and 1t Is pleasant to note that the British
government seems now disposed to accord
a practical recognition of the commission
by submitting testimony through the State
Department. Upon the finding of the COM
mission the future course of events will de-
pend, and. In view Of the Presidents words,
their task is most delicate and weighty, for
he said:
When such report Is made and accepted

United States to resist by every means In ITS
