bit of it-nOt even for half million of
money. And I'm to keep out of his
way. Well, I'll obey that command
with all the pleasure in life. Aud
I'm not to marry before I'm forty
that's what it amounts to practically
Well, | don't know that | mind that

so much know about that-I-" and
then he stopped short and fell into a
sort of dream, a dream of himself
walking along a country road and be-
side him-"and, oh, damnation," said
Dick Aylmer aloud, what did the
old brute want to write TO me for?"
He struck a match and set fire to the
letter; then a sudden thought occurred
to him and he crushed the fame out
and locked the letter carefully away in
his dispatch box. Il may find that re-
mark about marrying again useful" he
said to himself Anyway, best to
keep it.
But though he had locked the letter
away he could not put the thoughts Of
it away from him as easily. Indeed, it
kept coming back to him again and
again. particularly that one unpalata6le

norant of the circumstances in which
the little girl of his dream was placed.
She might have a dover. ii might be
large or small, he did not know; and
on the other hand. it was more than
likely that she had not so much as a
penny in the world. Somehow. al
though he had never been within the
precincts of Graveleigh Hall, he had
an idea that it was a place without
much money behind it. True, the beds
in front of the house were gay with
flowers and the house was large and
Ct certain appearance. But the hedges
which skirted the slOping meadow were
none TOO we'll kept; the entrance gates
needed a coat of paint badly. and had
apparently got well used 10 the neces-
sity; the drive was not very well kept,
and altogether he fancied that Dorothy
Strode's dover would be but thing OF
small Importance compared with his
uncles idea of what Dicks wife ought
to be possessed of.
Now. may as well say here that
Dick Alymer had made up his mind TO
marry the little girl of his dream. Ii
might be sooner or * might be later,
but he meant TO do it all the same. ii

would: and if he could not get her as

BUYS Liberty With OYSTERS.

Count Scheremetef. an immensely
wealthy and powerful Russian noble
who lived in the early part of this
century, had among his serfs man
named Schalouchine, who had amassed
an enormous fortune. He had offered
as much as 100000 for his freedom.
but i'm vain One day Scheremetef gave
a dinner party and to his disgust there
were no oysters to begin the banquet
with. They were not to be had at
any price, replied the steward. AT
that moment Schalouchine was ushered

BELOW GROUND IN LONDON
New Things to BE Tried the New
Underground Railway.

In addition to the present rapid
transit facilities in London a new cleo
trio underground railway is projected,
which is expected TO be in operation
in four years from the present time,
says the LandOn Mail. The route is
in the heart of the city, and the trains
Will run sixty feet below the side
walks. A syndicate has been formed
and f3, 500 900 has been raised. sum
supposed TO be sufficient for all eX-
penses of construction. The total
length of the line is about six miles,
and the tracks will be laid in double
tunnels having an internal diameter
of eleven feet six inches. These, to-
gether with the lift, shafts and the
station tunnels, of which the internal
diameter Will measure twenty-one
feet, will be made in iron segments,
no brickwork being used.
An advantage claimed for the double
tunnel system is the means it affords
of good ventilation. When two lines
run in one tunnel it is almost impos-
sible TO secure this, but train run
ming in a single line tunnel acts as a
piston, driving the air before it and
bringing a fresh current along in its
wake. Another subsidiary advantage
is that the two TUNES need not nee
essarily be on the same level. The
lines can, independently of each 9TH
er, slope downward in leaving and up
ward in approaching stations, with a
consequent saving of power and wear
on the brakes, while in passing I'M

have to wait; but as for waiting till his
savage old uncle chose to say yea or
nay-why, the idea was simply pre-
posterous, and Dick put it aside at once
as a contingency which could not be
considered for moment. After all.
his marriage was his business. his and
nobody else's on his side; he meant &c
marry tC please himself. and his uncle
could go to the deuce if he liked After
all, if he did marry her or any 9th
er girl that he chose to marry. and his
uncle cut up rough over it, what could
he do? He could, and probably would
stop his allowance Immediately. But
then he had absolutely no guarantee
that the old savage might not from
mere caprice do that at any moment,
when he would have no other course
open to him but to exchange into
regiment serving in India. and live On
his pay. So that, after all, what was
the good Of his depending too much
on his uncle, who would, if his wife
happened to die, assuredly marry again
On the chance of having an heir who
would cut him out of his heritage?
All the same, Dick Alymer did not
think that there was the remotest
chance of his uncles wife leaving the
way clear for successor-her ladyship
was at least fifteen years younger than
her lord, and was a woman of aggres-
sively good health which she kept in
perfect order by living by line and
rule; and he reminded himself that
beyond stopping his allowance and
possibly having another heir, Lord
Aylmer was absolutely powerless to
leave enc stick or stone away from
him-the property must go with the
title to the heir who was to follow
him.
A couple OF days went by. and Dick
Aylmer had almost forgotten his I'M

ton, and by the time he turned out Of

His second journey is described in

Africa was in 1879. He travelled from

he was presented with the freedom of

parture for Africa the fourth time. The

YELLOW FEVER SPREADS.

The yellow fever situation is de
cidedly worse to, day than it was
last Saturday. Not only has there
been a rapid increase over last
week in the average number OF
new cases daily reported; but the
increase in the number of deaths
daily reported is correspondingly
higher.
That cold weather, unless it is
cold enough for a killing frost, does
not check the progress of yellow
jack has been demonstrated during
the past week, Tor the weather has
been cool daring the week and
several days it was almost cold
enough for a frost. And yet yellow
fever continues to break its rec
ords for new cases and deaths
every few days. DR.. Guiteras, the
government expert, stated that
this would be the case, atri pye-
dlcted that the disease would con
tinue to spread until a KlIing frost
relieves the situation. DR.. Guiteras
has demonstrated on many occa-
sions during the epidemic that he
knows as much about yellow fever
and its eccentric ways as any
physician living. He has made
few if any mistakes as a diagnOstl-
clan and has predicted the spread
or non spread of the disease, in
places he has visited, with such.
accuracy as to leave no doubt that
he has made a deep study of the
habits Of yellow jack.
Yellow fever seems to have taken
firm root in the town of Franklin,
Ia. There have been a number Of
new cases in Franklin since last
weeks report.

desperately sick with yellow fever
