Sagasta Two years go by and again the
Camerosan is q great man in the affairs
of Spain. His skill was sufficient to
smooth over several important crises. he
stood stiff as block of granite against
the efforts of the Republicans to establish
universal suffrage, and maintained the
solidarity of the monarchists and the
liberals until the birth of an heir to the
throne of Spain gave him and the coun-,
try p spaoe to breathe in. Threatened
with loss of power in January, 1850,
Sagasta cut the knot by dissolying the
cortes, and thus held for himself a sale

to retire in favor of his ancient enemy,
CanovaS. For three years Canoyas ruled,

the law was passed it was never enforced

CHAPTER x.

After Edith Longworth left her
Jennie Brewster indulged in brief
spasm of Mysteries. Her good sense,
however, speedily got her out of that,
and as she became more or less calm
she began to wonder why she had rot
assaulted the girl who had dared to i'm
prison her. She dimly remembered
that she thought of fierce onslaught
ut the time, and she also remembered
that the fear of the boat leaving during
the row had stayed her hand. But now
that the boat had left, she bitterly re-
GREETED her inaction, and grieved un-
availingly over the fact that she had
stopped to write the account of the dis
aster which befell the Caloric. Had she
not done so, all might have been well,
but her great ambition to be counted
the best newspaper woman in New
York, and to show the editor that she
was equal to any emergency that might
arise, had undone her. While it would
have been possible for her to send away
one telegram. her desire to write tho

you know that had an important dis,
patch to send to the Argus, and that
this mans friend, doubtless at his in
stigation, came into my room and prac-
tically held me prisoner there until the
boat had left, SO that could not send
the dispatch? Think of the cheek and
villainy of that, and speak to me of talk
ing wildly!"
A look of relief and astonishment
came into Kenyon's face that quite con-
vinced the newspaper woman, more
than all his protestations would have
done, that he knew nothing of the es-
capade whatever.
"And who kept you from coming
out?" asked Fleming.
ut is none of your business" she re-
piled, tartly.
"1f you will believe me" said Kenyon,
at last, II knew nothing whatever of all
this, so you see there is no use speaking
to me about it. l won't pretend 1 am
sorry, because am not"
This added fuel to tts flame, and she
was about to blaze out again when Ken
yon turned on his heel and left her and
Fleming standing facing each other
Then the young woman herself turnedI
and quickly departed, leaving the aston
ished politician entirely alone, so that
there was nothing for him to do but to
go into the suSoking-room and ask
somebody to have drink with him,
which he promptly did.
Miss Brewster made her way to the
captains room and raped at the door.
On being told to enter she found that
officer seated at his table with some
charts before him, and haggard look
upon his face, which might have
warned her that this was not the proper
time to air any personal grievances.
"Well" he said briefly as she
entered.
Il came to see you, captain" she be-
gan, because an outrageous thing has

tician, but he was mistaken. She came
directly at him, and, with her fist
clenched, said in loud voice:
"Well, John Kenyon, what do you
think of your work?"
"What work?" asked the bewildered
man.
You know very well what work I
mean. A fine specimen of O man you
are! Without the courage yourself to
prevent my sending that telegram, you
induced your dupe to come down to my
stateroom and brazenly keep me from
sending it."
The look of utter astonishment that
came upon the face of honest John Ken
yon would have convinced any woman
in her senses that he knew nothing at
all OF what she was speaking. A dim
idea Of this, indeed, flashed across the
young woman's heated brain. But be-
fore she could speak Fleming said:
'Tut, tut, my dear girl, you are talk
ing too loud altogether. Do you want
to attract the attention of everybody
on the deck? You mustn't make a
scandal in this way on board ship"
Scandal" she cried. eve will soon
see whether there will be scandal or
not. Attract the attention of those on
deck! That is exactly what am going
to do, until show up the villainy of this
man you are talking to. He was the
concoctor of it, and he knows it. She
never had brains enough to think of it.
He was too much of a coward to carry it.
out himself, and so he set her to do his
dastardly piece of work."
"Well, WE'LL" said Fleming, "even If
he has done all that, whatever it is, it
will do no good to attract the attention
to it here on deck. See how everybody
is listening to what you are saying. My
dear girl, you are too angry to talk just
now; the best thing you can do is to go
to your stateroom."
"You shut your silly mouth, will
you?" she cried, turning furiously upon
him. 'I'll thank you to mind your own
business, and let me attend to mine.
should have thought that you would
have found out before this that am ca
pable of attending to my own affairs"
Certainly, certainly, my dear girl"
answered the politician, soothingly.
I'm sorry 1 can't tell you all to come
and have drink with me and talk the
matter over quietly. That's the correct
way to do things. Not to stand here
screeching on the deck with every body
listening. Now, if you will quietly dis
cuss the matter with John here, I'm sure
everything will be all right"

HERE AND NOW.

He3e in the heart of this world,
Here in the noise and the din,
Here where our spirits were hurled
To battle with sorrow and sin.
This is the place and the spot,
For knowledge of infinite thiRgs;
This is the kingdom where thought
Can conquer the prowess of kings.
Wait for no Heavenly life,
Seek for no temple alone;
Here in the midst of the strife
Know what the sages have known.
See what the Perfect One saw,
God in the depths of each soul;
God as the Light and the Law,
God as beginning and goal.
Earth is one chamber of Heaven,
Death is no grander than birth;
(, Joy in the life that is given,
Strive for perfection on earth.
Here in the turmoil and roar,
Show what it Is to be calm
Show how the spirit can soar,
And bring back its healing and balm.
Stand not aloof or apart,
Plunge in the thick Of the fight;
There in the street and the mart,
That is the place to do right.
Not in some cloister or cave,
Not in some kingdom above
Here on this side of the grave,
Here should we labor and love.

Rainfalls.-It is naturally supposed
that the number of rainy days in the
tropics is greater than in temperate
zones, but this is not the case. More
rain falls in the tropics, but in fewer
days, so that there are really more sun
shiny days than in the temperate zones.
1t is said that on the equator, about on
a parallel with st. Petersburg, 95 inches
of rain falls in 80 days, the rest of the
year being composed of clear days. At
St. Petersburg about 40 days are rainy,
but the total precipitation is only II
inches. At London the rainfall is put
at rs inches per year, and at Vera Cruz
at $50.

was not only excellent for general

for religious culture. That the

two weeks. On the second Friday
night in each month we have a
lecture, and ON the last, we have a
regular literary mee(ing. We are
contining our work for the present
to the study of Southern writers.
At our last meeting we spent an
evening with Thomas Nelson Page.
We opened by roll call, and re-
spOnse from members with quota
tiOns. Then We had paper on
the biography of Page, and as
readings. we had selection from
1.-THE Old South" and one from
"Meh Ladey," the story which
was written to please his young
wife. Then as a recitation we had
"Uncle Gabe's White Folks" the
dialect poem which was his first
published production. These were
interspersed with instrumental
music from our Epworth League
string band. and the old dale ct
songs, " Massa's in tile Cold, Cold
Ground" "Old Uncle Ned,n and
"Old Black joe"
Next we will spend ali evening
with Edgar Allen Poe, the man
who stands out so completely
alone as writer and genius; and
then with Joel Chandler Harris,
! that writer of our own negro dia.
lect; then again with Father
Ryan, that sweet singer of our
Lost Cause, and SO on. Any one
young lady OF tact and determine.
tiOn, can keep this part of the
League work going. Spend an
evening with Oliver Wendell
Holmes, that spicy writer of ':The
Autocrat," or Ian McLeran, that
popular and pathetic writer of the
present day; also with Irving, the
first American writer to gain a
reputation abroad, and so on, and
so on.
We have combined our social
and literary work here, and have
our programs abOutan hour long
so that the remainder of the even.
ing is spent in social enjoyment.
At every third meeting refresh
ments are served. Occasionally Y
we have an extra social enter
tainment to which all the young
people of the town are invited.
The social work Of the League is
by no manner of means confined
to committee on entertainment.

as Chautauqua is an intellectual.
