The objections which used to be
raised against allowing cities in Arkan-

There is no need for letting towns bond
themselves excessively. The amount
allowed we think, could be regulated
by the assessed valuation of the
property and consequent revenue.

CHAPTER XXX.

A few hours later Peter Lennox opened
his eyes and found himself lying in
charming room. At first he was puzzled
to know where he was, and what had hap
pened to him; there was a dull singing in
his ears, a strange confusion in his brain;
a queer uncertainty troubled him as to
his wherea bouts, a heavy kind of wonder
and pain.
He looked about him; it was an artistic
room. In all his superb mansion there
was nothing like it. Then his eyes fell
upon the figure of a woman kneeling by
his side. Gradually all returned to him,
and he knew that he was looking in the
face of his wife Grace; he knew also that
he had had narrow escape from death.
Grace" he said feebly-and his voice
seemed to come from a distance-it had
faint, feeble kind of sound-'tell me all
about it again. cannot imagine that it
is really true"
She repeated the story to him, and he
listened with new wonder.
$50 have son." he said-"the hand
some, noble boy whom Beatrix loves?
He is my sonny own son? Oh, Grace,
how shall learn to believe it? Can it be
true-my own son!'
He repeated the words over and over
again to himself-his own son, and how
should he believe it? Then after a time
he turned to her.
Grace" he said, Il should like to see
my son.
80 you shall,' she replied. II have
surprise in store for you, if you are bet
ter this evening"
''Will you-will you kiss me, GraceY
he asked in a low, trembling voice, as
though he were half afraid of making the
request. She bent over him.
Eyes, l will, Peter" she replied, earn
estly-"I will indeed. / am sorry that
things went so wrong between us. I will
say now what have never said before
that / wish with all my heart matters
had been different-that had been older
and better, you wiser and kinder
She kissed him, and a great calm light
came over his face-the stern, grim face
that had known so little brightness. A
contented smile played round the lips that
had smiled so little, and presently Peter
Lennox fell into such sleep as he had
not had for years.
1t was nearly evening when he awoke
again, refreshed, invigorated and almost
well. His valet stood ready to attend to
him, having been summoned by order Of
his wife. He went downstairs. His wife
met him in the hall.
She opened the door Of the drawing
room and led him in. There he saw Bea-
trix, Lady Ailsa and Beltran. A mist
swan before his eyes. He trembled as a

How He Was Complimented.

"John," said Mrs. Harkins, II heard
nice compliment for you the other
day."
Mr.. Harkins put his paper down,
twisted up the ends of his moustache
and said:
well, that's nothing so remarkable
l receive compliments nearly every
day."
Mrs. Harkins went on slipping her
tea, and her husband waited for her to
resume. Finally he said:
"Well, why don't you tell ME what it
was? Who was it that complimented

''Oh, you couldn't guess in week."

eagerly suggested.

Mrs. Harkins sweetly replied. "Mr.

vinced that you were a man of excel

John Harkins then showed his hands
into his pockets and walked out on rhe
veranda to rtlminate.

not occur to me until | saw BeatriX, and
then recognized the Lennox face. Then
for the first time knew that l had done
wrong to my son to keep from him the fact
that he was Peter Lennox's heir. Dear
Beatrix, l felt rather impatient when
heard you called heiress Of Erceldean-af-
ter all, Erceldean belonged to Beltran and
not to you. I never once thought of max
ing myself known, not even for my sons
sake, though at times it was sore temp
tation. l should never have told the truth
or owned my story but for Beltran and
his love. Beltran used to tell me that
when he met Mr.. Lennox the rich man
was very kind to him, that he took an in
terest in him, and my boys heart was
touched by his kindness. Once trembled
with fear, for it seemed to me that my
secret must be discovered. One evening
Beltran came home and told me that Mr..
Lennox was always troubled by shad-
owy likeness that he saw in his face, and
a familiar sound that he detected in his
voice. I grew fearful then. l could easily
have soly ed the mystery for him, Lady
Ailsa. For I have strong reason to be-
lieve that my son resembles your deceas-
ed husband, Prince Charlie and not his
own father"
Lady Ailsa looked up quickly.
"You are quite right" she said. Il
was struck by the same thing in your
soma shadowy resemblance. Now l see
it,
'"Then l was startled" continued Mrs.
Carew, ''on finding that my boy had fall
en- in love with the millionaires niece. At
first was vexed, and tried hard to per-
suade him to forget her; l knew that if
ever a maj riage took place l must tell the
truth. But my boy was so wretched that
my conscience reproached me, and have
yielded at last. l did test their love. l
wanted to see whether Beatrix would be
constant to Beltran through all fortunes,
or whether she would prefer the wealth of
Peter Lennox to the love of my son. She
has come nobly out of the ordeal, and now
nothing remains for me but to send for my
husband and tell him the truth. Imagine
it is twentyfour years since have seen
him! What will he say to me?'
BeatriX rose and clasped her arms round
Mrs. Carew's neck.
''You bear it very bravely," she said;
''but know that you have suffered, aunt.
Only imagine have an aunt after all!
Aunt Grace, kiss me, and tell me that you
love me for your sons sake"
''For his and your own" she replied,
warmly. "My dear Beatrix, all the time
that l was painting your portrait, l was
longing to tell you that the uncle you
spoke so much about was my husband,
and that Beltran was your cousin"
Beatrix laughed a low, happy laugh of
perfect content.
you see, after all, mamma" she said,
Il was most wise and prudent girl"

around his neck; but it was on Beitran
breast that the gray head rested at iase.
1t was to Beltran that the feeble arms
chung while the old man cried:
s'My sonny son! Thank heaven tnae
I have lived to see my SON.
The occurrence was, as Lady Allsa re-
marked afterward to the bishop, most
providential." 1t seemed marvellous "
think that Beatrix should from the hrst
have loved Beltran.
The wedding at Erceldean was talked
about long after it had taken place. oucn
q scene had not been witnessed for many
a wear in bonny Scotland. From miles
round people flocked to see prince Char-
lies" daughter married and the KING
take his own again"
Peter Lennox layished wealth on the
son of whom he was SO proud; he pur-
chased for him one Of the finest mansions
in London-for Beltran would not aban-
don his professional career. Whenever
his father mentioned such thing to him
he would say: 1--WE have had great war
riors and great statesmen amongst our
ancestors; believe me that great lawyer
will add to the honor of the Lennoxes. l
am to strive for the woolsack, you know"
In after years he won it, while Beatrlx
Lennox remained queen of society, low
ed, admired and revered. One event gave
her great pleasure. Three years after
her own marriage Lady Rayner married
the Duke of Heathland. Lord Rayner
killed himself by drinking and dissipation,
and Lady Rayner, after her year OF
mourning had expired, married the hand
some duke, who had loved her friend SO
dearly. Beatrix was delighted, and the
Duchess of Heathland always remained
her devoted friend.
There was no happier woman in Eng
land than beautiful Beatrix Lennox. She
was rich, honored, esteemed, beleved-she
had one of the kindest of husbands, chill
dren who were most devoted; but she new
er forgot what had been the cost OF ner
love.

THE end.)
A Nagging Rainbow Trout.

A distinguishing characteristic of the
rainbow trout is it's fondness for scrap
ping. There was an illustration Of it's
ways in this particular the other day
at the Aquarium. A number of rain
bow trout weighing from One-half TO
three-quarters of a pound each, which
had been received from the State fish
hatchery at Cold Spring Harbor, were
placed at the Aquarium in a display
tank, in which there was already a
rainbow weighing about half pound,
which had been there for some time.
The new trout were received in good
condition, but they were tired after
travelling, as fish always are, and they
wanted chance to rest. The old trout,
however, Immediately began to hustle
them about the tank. It would dart
up to one of the new fishes, which was
swimming slowly along, and bite at it.
The startled fish would start up and
hurry off to the other side of the tank.
AS likely as not the old fish would not
pursue it, but would wait for the next
one to come along, and then bite at
Illdt OuC, anu SldlI IL UP. SO"CIlluCo
the old fish would follow up it's attack
by dashing after the other around the
tank, and kept this up increasingly, nag
ging and nipping the others until they
were more tired out than ever.
If, when they were put into the tank
they had been as fresh and vigorous as
their pursuer, they would have turned
upon it very probably and made short
work of it. AS it was, the single trout
bossed all the rest, including fish half
as big again as itself, and hustled them
about numerically. In half day it
would have worn them out and wearied
them to death.
But the scrappy little rainbow didn't
get that opportunity. 1t was scooped
out with dipnet and put into another
tank, a reserve tank. There was rain
bow trout in this tank, too, but this one
was not tired with travel. 1t was fresh
and vigorous. And it was also big
enough to eat the scrappy one if it tried
to cut up any capers there.-New York

CHAPTER xxx.

Perhaps there was not more miserable
man in England than Peter Lennox, the
great millionaire.
He had told the detectives all the story
of his marriage, and the utmost that they
could discover for him in Lima was that
his wife had gone away quite alone-that
there had been no such thing as an elope-
ment with the suspected clerk, and that
she was quite free from that imputation.
Then came intelligence that startled him.
His wife had been traced to London, and
there she had had son; but from the
time the boy had reached his fifth year
all clew to her was lost again.
His emotion had been great at the
thought Of a son having been born to him
"a son who, if he could find him, would be
heir to his estates, his vast wealth, and
his name. who might add honor to honor
and be the very salvation Of his race. He
wondered if it were possible to find him.
He made almost superhuman exertions;
but it was all in vain, he could CLEAN no
intelligence of his wife or son, the son
whom even only to see he would have
laid down his life.
Disheartened, and almost despairing, he
sat one morning alone in his great Lon
don drawing room-he had returned to
town so as to be nearer the detectives-he
could rest no longer at Erceldean. Pres
entity note was brought in to him from
Mrs. Carew, saying that she wished to see
him upon important business, if he would
be kind enough to call upon her as soon
as he could make it convenient.
He drove direct to the little house in
Mayfair, and asked for Mrs. Carew.
''My mistress is expecting you, SIR"
said the servant, when he had told her
his name. 'She is in her painting room.'
He followed the servant, wondering ut
the beauty of the apartments, at the
wealth of ornaments, pictures and stat
ues. Then he reached the painting room,
and the sery0nt, after opening the door
for him, retired.
At first his eyes were disturbed by the
dim, uncertain light. He saw tall, wcm-
anly figure standing waiting for him he
could see folds Of rich velvet that swept
the ground; but in his confusion he did
not plainly discern the face that was
turned toward him.
The lady bowed; he returned the bow;
then Mrs. Carew placed chair for him,
and Peter Lennox sat down. Presently
Mrs. Carew spoke. At the first sound OF
her voice, something in it struck him IS
familiar. He told himself that it was her
sons voice of which he was reminded :
the young barrister whom he had liked
before he declared himself the lover of
Beatrix.
Il am sorry to have troubled you," said
Mrs. Carew; "but wanted to ask yon
is there no way by which we can Come
to terms p
70 terms over what z he inquired.
