"That will do" said the doctor, once
bending his eyes sternly upon the
kneeling form of Eudora.
But the girl, unconscious Of the
storm that was gathering over her
head, remained absorbed in grief.
Madame" said the doctor, turning
to the princessh your friend has
Joined her daughter. There is now no
lady at the head Of this afflicted
house. must, therefore, entreat you
for charity to assume some necessary
authority here over these dismayed
female domestics; at least until some
measures can be taken for the regula-
tion Of the establishment"
"You forget, sir, that we stand in the
presence of the young lady Of the
house, who, however bowed with grief
she may now be, will soon, no doubt,
be found equal to her high position ~
Madame, if your highness alludes
to Miss Eudora Leaton, must beg to
say that she cannot be permitted to in
termeddle with any Of the affairs Of
the household for the present." replied
the doctor.
The mention of her name in SO stern
a manner aroused Eudora from her
trance of sorrow, and she arose from
her knees and looked around, to see
every eye bent on her in doubt, per-
plexity and suspicion. While she
looked beseechingly from one face to

the storm is rising, and it is getting
late, and the roads is horrid between
here and the gaol," said the constable,
showing signs Of impotence.
"Ah, wait! pray wait until Mr.. Mon
trose returns. He went to ask the
magistrates if might be confined
here until morning." pleaded Eudora.
"Do your duty, officer! Why do you
stand arrested by the prayers Of that
evil girl? She did not fear to commit
crime, she should not fear to meet its
consequences. DO your duty at once
for every moment she is permitted to
remain beneath this honored roof is an
outrage to the memory of those whom
she has hurried to their early graves"
said the doctor, sternly.
The constable still hesltated, and
Eudora still stood with pale face, in
tense eyes and clasped hands, silently
implOring delay, when the door opened
and Malcolm Montrose entered with
the order of the magistrates, COM

doctor, she withdrew

placed herself beside her young mis-

'Have the police arrived?'

"Send two of them up to me at once,

The servant withdrew, and the doc
tor, returning to the side Of the Italian
princess, said:
MADAME, will your highness be
pleased to retire to your own apart
ments, as this chamber, with all it's
other occupants, must be placed in

The princess, with a look Of sur
prise, bent her stately head, and
passed forth from the room.
She had scarcely withdrawn when
the two policemen presented them
selves.
"You keep the door of this apart
ment, and let no one enter or pass
out" said the doctor, posting the two
officers one at each entrance Of the
death chamber.
He gave glance at Eudora, who
stood still by the bedside. the image
of grief, wonder, and perpleXity, and
then he passed on, and went down
to rejoin Mr.. MontrOse, and to meet

ewered one Of the servants.
REST here, dear Eudora, until re-
turn" said Montrose, placing her In
an easy chairs then going to the side
OF the Italian princess, he said:
s.NISdan,e, for Heavens sake, speak
to her"
And he hurried from the chamber
and went down into the dining room,
where the magistrates were sitting
over their wine.
He addressed them respectfully,
speaking Of the approaching storm,
the darkness of the night and the bad
ness of the mountain roads that lay
between Allworth and the county gaol;
and proposed that, as the accused was
but young and delicate girl. she
might be permitted to remain at ALI
worth Abbey through the night.
Mr.. Montrose, as the nearest male
relative Of the Leaton family, might
be supposed to have considerable in
luence with the magistrates. The lat
ter were. besides. pleased with their
days work, and subdued by the genial
influence Of the juice of the grape:
and the boon that was craved by NAL
colin Moutrose was not, under the cir
cuMstances, unreasonable. Therefore,
after some little delay and consulta-
ton, it was agreed that the accused
should remain at the Abbey through
the night. securely locked up in the
chamber which she now occupied, and
strictly guarded by pair Of consta-
bles, one of which was to be placed on
the outside of each door.
And Malcolm Montrose was author

Meanwhile, Eudora had sunk back
in the chair where he had left her, and
covered her face with her hands. The
Princess Pezzilini had despatched a
servant to the little bed room. Of Eu-
dora to fetch her bonnet and shawl.
And now she stood beside the chair
of the unhappy girl, urging her to
arise and prepare herself to accom-
pany the constable, and saying:
ut will all turn out for the best, Bel
lissima, end how it may. If you are
proved innocent you will be set at
liberty; If you are proved guilty you
will have the privilege of expiating
your crime by the death of your body,
and thus save your soul. So, end as
it may, Bellissima, it will all be right. !"
"But, lawk, mum, s'posen she be in
nocent and yet be found guilty, as
many and many one have been be-
fore herr" suggested Tabitha Tabs,
the maid, who had now returned with
her bonnet and shawl, and stood with
them hanging over her arm.
''In that case, my good girl, she will

princess, piously.
"Can't see it, mum, as it would be

wicted, nor the will of heaven, nyther,
begging your pardon, mum, for speak

fully.
"You are a simple girl, and need in

Montrose did not reply. He could
scarcely follow the doctor in his dis
course. His thoughts were all en-
gagged with the hapless Eudora and the
train of unutterable misfortunes that
lay before her.
While he stood in bitter sorrow,

out, and that there was no expectant
crowd outside when the congress was i'll

ring story. 1t is that it was late ON the
afternoon of the Fourth when the final
decision was reached Amid profound
silence was the announcement received.
1t was first broken by Franklin, who
remarked, Gentlemen, we must now
all hang together or we shall hang sepa-
rately." AT this heavy and rotund Har-
rison remarked to slender Elbridge Ger
ny that IN that event Gerry would be
kicking in the air long after his own
fate would be settled "There, said
Hancock when he had by his signature
consummated his act, John Bull may
read my signature without spectacles. F"
Thousands of anxious citizens, con-
tinues tradition, had gathered in the
streets of Philadelphia, for it was known
that the final vote would be taken that
day. From the hour when congress met
i'll the morning the old bellman had
been in the steeple. He had placed q lad
ut the door below to give him notice
when the announcement should be made.
AS hour succeeded hour the old man
shook his head and said: "They will

Suddenlya loud shout came from below,
and there stood the little blue eyed boy,
clapping his hands and shouting, Ring,

all events, there came to me an orderly
from that dignitary, with request,
oouohed in most courteous Spanish
phrases that the distinguished Ameri-
can visitor" would kindly refrain from
attracting a crowd by continuing the
flag of his country in such conspicuous
position, etc.
1t was gentle hint that by persist
ing in this course might become pos
sibly persona non grata at the palace,
and as had important services yet to
perform for my own government, l took
counsel with prudence and hauled the
flag down at sunset. But at the Ameri-
can dinner that night it was voted that
whether or not the act was one Of dis
erection, at least the sight of Old Glory
had done our hearts good, and if ever
occasion presented we would again
fling the flag of freedom to the breeze.
