CHAPTER II.
THE GOING.

Miss Cherryton took the loss of her
Jewels more calmly than most people
would have done, probably because it
was her nature TO take events quietly
and comfortably, just as they came.
She also had implicit faith in the po-
lice and never doubted the speedy re-
covery of the jewels.
But, strange to say, she seemed real
" concerned about the loss of her pleas
ants. She said repeatedly to Jack,
"How very provoking!' and at last
made up her mind that Mr.. Wicks
ought to 60 back.
, Now. the truth of the matter was
that Miss Cherryton disliked dogs ex-
tremely. She was afraid of them, and
il was only ON account Of her great fond
ness for Sylvia that in weak moment
she had allowed Mr. Wicks to be sent
for, and the death of the pheasants gave
her tolerably good excuse for Mr..
Wicks' dismissal
miss bruce will be dreadfully dis
appointed" pleaded Jack, who saw in
his aunt's decision an opportunity Tor
making some atonement to Sylvia for
having punished Mr.. Wicks. "There is,
I believe, great truth in the proverb,
Love me, love my dog, >" he said con-
solingly to himself.
"Sylvia, DEAR" said Miss Cherryton
a little later, IT am afraid Mr. Wicks
is too young to be here, and-and l am
sorry to say that think it would per-
haas be better if he went back. !"
"Oh, Miss Cherrytoni" exclaimed
Sylvia, opening her blue eyes wide with
establishments. ~ am sorry il he has
been troublesome, but / thought you
liked him a little, and he does love the
country so. Won't you let him stay
lust little longer?"
my dear, such pretty pleadings
ought to soften my heart. but mine is
hard heart. +"
"Look here, aunt, I'll guarantee that
Mr.. Wicks eats no more pheasants. ]

Miss Druce will allow me. I'll lick him
into shape. No, no, mean caress him
till he becomes the best, most obedient'

"And how Mr.. wicks will miss Miss

continued, 81 think Mr.. Wicks is per.
fectly beautiful.
There, do you hear rhar. Mr.. Wicks?"
said Sylvia.
Mr.. Wicks evidently saw that JACK
was speaking of him, and he wrinkled
up his little nose, no doubt 10 acknowl-
edge the compliment.
Don't you admit his lovely dark
eyes?" asked Sylvia.
Very much indeed. was the reply,
but Jack was thinking that he infinite
ly preferred blue.
'Have you ever beaten him. Miss
Druce!" There was slight twinkle in
Jacks eye.
Beaten him? OF course not have
brought him up by kindness. When he's
naughty, | talk to him seriously and
caress him.
Lucky dog" thought Jack, and he
did not again refer TO the beatings
Then he hurried away toward the
town to report the robbery Of his aunt's
jewels to the police.
The following day Mr.. Wicks was
missing.
He had risen early before breakfast
and had been enjoying all by himself
the delights of amateur poaching. He
never remembered having such fun be-
fore. He had chased cats in town, but
never rabbits, and now as he returned
home painting and with his tongue hang
ing out he suddenly saw just in front
/ of him little brown things running
among the grass. These wero jack
young pheasants.
Mr.. Wicks stood still. with ears erect.
/ Then there, and there, and there, and
in moment six little corpses lay in
the grass and it was at this juDcture
that Mr.. Wicks was discovered.
Jack looked soTowfully at his dead
pheasants that he had so carefully nur-
tured and fed upon eggs and other lux
uries, then wrathfully at their destroyer.
"Come here!' cried Jack, who was
really angry. Come here, sir"
Mr.. Wicks rolled over Oh his back
and looked up pathetically with his
great brown eyes. This attitude of peni-
tence had always touched Sylvia's
heart, but 10 his horror il had no soften
ing effect upon Jack, for he was seized
by the scruff Of the neck and logged
l0rged until he howled at this unto
ward treatment. Sylvia, also in search
for Mr.. Wicks, heard his cries and ar.
rived on the scene just in time to set
the chastisement
"Mr Cherryton. Mr.. Cherryton
How dare you?" she cried il n choking
voice. "Oh, my sweet Mr.. Wicks. VIVA
have you been doing?" Then, turning
to Jack; Chow could you beat him
5 How could you be so cruel? You shoulc
have asked my leave first" And witt
the most charming little pout magma
bic she picked up Mr.. Wicks, tucke
him under her arm and walked sedate
ly back TO the house.
Jack followed humbly.
"Im most awfully sorry, Mis-
Druce," he began.
"Poor Mr.. Wicks!" said Sylvia, hard
ly noticing the apology. Il could hea
his cries a mile off"
"a mile, Miss Druce?"
"Yes, quite mile" maintains
Sylvia, not caring how much she exae
gerated on Mr.. Wicks' behalf.
won't you allow me to carry hims
asked Jack. Hes not very light y
"No, thank you," Sylvia answered
, with a very decided tilt of her chin
: Then Jack turned away and wei
! back to his pheasants. y

r sadly in voice that was full of d.
spondency, "has been a huge mistak

message:
1T is a simple resume of the admits

and an attempt to justify in the face
of the antagonistic sentiment Of the
majority of Americans, the policy of
apparent impartiality officially pursued.
1t is adroitly worded. and is calculated
to partly appease the presidents crit

the popular clamor favorable to the
enemies &c Spain
La Lucia subjects the Spanish min
lister at Washington, Senior Dupuy de

failure TO correct the press exaggera-
tons and false reports" of the actual
situation here many Of which have
been unfortunately quoted by President
Cleveland" The paper adds:
Had the minister been more alert,
he might have checked in time the UNI
favorable current and have changed it
| to some extent in SPANS favor. The
message is from a purely hypothed-

The Roanoke daily times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1895-1897, 1896-10-22

Washington, Oct 21.-The archbishops
of the Catholic Church and many of the
bishops assembled mt the Catholic Uni
versity at 1890 o'clock to-day under cir
cumstances of unusual public interest.
The initial meeting was of the board of
administration of the Catholic Univer-
sity, in which all the archbishops are ex-
otlicio members, although only six of
them are charter members entitled to
vote. The meeting of the archbishops of
the governing body of the church, with
out connection with the University, be-
gins tomorrow.
Except the usual early mass i'll the
University chapel, which was attended
by Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishops
Meliam and Ryan, there was no religious
ceremony preliminary to the meeting,
which was held for the purpose of nam
ing candidates for rector of the Univer-
sity. Cardinal Gibbons, as chancellor of
the University, called the meeting to or
der. The doors were closed, the session
being private.
to take II seat and exercise the duties
which would have fallen to the lot of
Bis hop keane, as Il member Of the board.
had he been present.
The board adjourned at p. M, after
selecting the names of three priests to
be submitted to the pope as follows:
Father Conaty, president of the summer
school ut Plattsburg, n. Y; Father Rior-
dan, of st. Elizabeth's Church, Chicago,
and Father Mooney, vicar-general, of
New York One of these viii, be desig-
mated by the pope as rector of the Unver-
sity.
The vacancy on the board of directors
of the University, caused by the death of
Bishop Martyr, was filled by the election
of Archbishop Riordan, of San Francisco
The board refused to accept the resig-
nation of Bishop Keane as II director of
the University, and he will continue to
serve in that capacity. This is considered
compliment to him and equivalent to
an endorsement of his management of
the University.
at the conclusion of the meeting of the
directors, Cardinal Gibbons said that the
session had been marked by the utmost
goodwill and kindness, and that the three
names selected to be sent to the pope had
been chosen unanimously, and one after
the other, without the slightest opposi-
toin.
