CHAPTER XVII.
FOLLY AND FICKLENESS.

Mrs. Cumberland had, according to
her promise to Sholto, not gone very
far into exile. She had taken a
picturesque little red-brick. creaper-
covered house, standing in delightfully."-
old-fashioned, high-walled gardens, in
Richmond, and here she dwelt in great
content and was never dull.
She made a. great point of her con-
tentment with and enjoyment of the
perfect seclusion of her pretty home,
when discoursing on the subject with
Sir Andrew Gwenap. She told him it
was so restful and peaceful, after the
incessant roar and hubbub and excite
ment of life in London, and almost re-
preached him for having thought her
a mere wording, to whom society and
gayety were indispensable. She
omitted to mention that her seclusiCn
was constantly shared by some of her
liveliest friends and acquaintance,
and gave him no hint of the select
boating parties which she had planned
having pretty often during the next
few weeks
Especially did she avoid all mention
Of his 'brother-in-law to the testify
rigid old baronet, who had dwell in

There the natives will be compelled to
remain, surrounded by Gordon OF
troops until the plague is stamped out
or works it worst among the unfor-
tunates
Bombay is beautifully situated on
an island of the same name, the island
having an area Of fifty-five square Kill
ometers. Originally it belonged to
the Portuguese, they having occupied
it in 1882. When the 1nfanta Gather
inc married Charles II. it passed into
the possession of Great Britain, it be-
ing part of the dover of the royal
bride. At this time the island was
regarded as worthless, and in conse-
quence was transferred to the East In
dia company for an annual payment
of f10 sterling or $50. But appreciat-
ing its marine advantages the East In
dia company withdrew its head offices
from Surat and made Bombay its
principal seat. From that time the
fortunes of the plsce have grown
prodigiously. The introduction of
steam navigation and the opening of
the Suez canal marked epochs in its
development, and today, in many re-
spects. it outranks Calcutta in i'm
portance, and up to the beginning OF
the plague. was almost the equal OF
the older city in population.

strong Gordon of troops, and that e5-
cape by water should be prevented by
the patrolling of armed steamers.
There are men who go SO far as to
advocate, as the Only radical cure, to
drive the remaining natives from the
quarter of the city inhabited by them,
apply the torch to their habitatiOns
and burn every place there TO the
ground. They point to the fact in
support of this po..cy that no amount
of disinfecting work will wipe out the
scourge, as the rats, and even the ants,
it is claimed, are infected, and will
carry pestilence far and wide unless
the fire-cure is adopted. If this is done
and it does not seem unlikely the
whole of the remaining native popula-
ton will be driven out by the troops
to an immense camp which will have

London, Jan. 24.-The plague hor-

In Bombay alone the deaths ex-
coed 1852 to date and the whole pop
ulace seems ready to fee. In Bombay
there are th0usands of houses with
out native servants, nearly all the
latter having joined the fleeing multi
tude. Employers are helpless be
cause of the desertion of their clerks
and porters, and stores are closed on
account Of the almost utter stagna-
ton Of business.
The government officials are dread
ing the spread of the plague to the
British troops and it is proposed 10
withdraw the European troops and
send them into the best place avail
able ON the other side of Bombay har-
Dor On the other hand, there are
people who oppose this step being
taken, on the ground that the pres
ence of the British regiments has a
salutary effect upon the populace,
which might otherwise start rioting
and looting. 1t is also suggested thar
the whole city should be isolated; that

there are thousands Of looms and
millions of spindles giving employ
ment to $4,000 workmen. From this
it can be seen that Bombay's i'm
portance as a manufacturing center is
of the first magnitude.
The city occupies the southern por-
ton of the island and fronts upon a
harbor which has no peer the world
over. On the other side of the island,
on what used to be called the esplan-
ade, are some of the chief editices OF
the city. Among these are the Secre-
tariat, a pile OF buildings devoted TO
the services Of the presidency of Bonn
bay, province which comprises TWEEN
ty-four British districts and nineteen
native vassal states. The last named
states occupy about one-third of the
whole territory.

any attention to them. For d time
the authorities seemed to hold the

relied upon her complete system of
waterworks to fight the plague, but

it visited Bagdal, killing off the in

per day, and one day, the 21st of April,
10000 people died Of the scourge. 1t
is the same plague which visited Lon

A Fool and His Folly.

Lady Gwenap disliked the ,co7d
taste she had been gi en- Ct her hu-
bands masteIfulness and rigid notions
more even than she had disliked the
first On the memorable occasion OF
hey going to the Empire she felt her
self to have been very much in The
wrong inasmuch as she had gone the
brief distance from Piccadilly in a
hanson alone, with a perfect stranger
who had the additional demerit of
being a striking-lo0king man. But
in wishing for the society of a friend
OF Sir Andrews choosing for her. and
Of her own brother TO enHven the
long-drawn-out hours of that most
weary sabbath, she had been void of
all offense.
Moreover, she was further annoyed
at the way in which Sir Andrew was
pointing out the path Of duty to her
with regard to her brothers betrothal.
She had quite made up her mind that
Sholto had been unfairly entangled by
a designing girl and that he was al
ready sick of the situation. Accord
ingly she let the matter drift, and
when Sholto half-heartily asked her
if she ever meant to call on Patrioe?''
she laughed and told him:
ASK me that at the end of the
season, and then if you really wish it
I will see what I can do, Sholto; but
