wish you would give me a few details about
yourself, your work and methods, and then
perhaps l could jot down a few particulars,
which l could weave together afterward."
He smiled sadly and then gave her the in
formation required She made some notes
and then at the conclusion put away her
book, and, after thanking HIM again made
Hardinge noted this and, at his wits end
blurted out, in a desperate fashion,:
$50 you are endeavoring to adopt litera-
ture as your profession Miss Raleigh"
Yes she replied, but l find 1t very diff
cult indeed to get foothold."
DO you write stories? Excuse the lib
. erty l take, but l feel quite an interest in
you"
oh thank you Yes do try my hand
occasionally at a short story"
Wei Miss Raleigh what do you think
Of this for plot2 Do you think it could be
woven into story? can only give you the
incidents as far as l know them, you
would have TO make your own conclusion.
Above all, it has the merit Of being true
Shall | give you the incidents?"
IF you would be so kind, l should be ex-
tremely grateful
eidence your name is that of the heroine
and it is that fact which has recalled every
thing in my mind"
Hardinge proceeded with his tale He
dared not look at his visitor as he remorse-
lessly went on; perhaps it was well he did
not do so, as the indescribable agony which
acted
upon his chivalrous instincts and forced him
to stop. But as he did not look in her direc-
ton he did not notice this, and cruelty be-
gan:
Some years ago-I forget how many-a
young fellow who was my chum at Oxford
spent his vacation at Milfield a little village
in the north. While there Fred-Fred Cow
er was his name-met and fell in love with
the Wears daughter, Annie Raleigh. They
became engaged, and shortly afterwards he
went out to India, in order TO represent his
fathers business house in Calcutta
For some months a correspondence passed
between the two, but at length Fred received
word from some friend in the village that
the squires son was paying close attentions
to Miss Raleigh and it was rumored that
they were engaged to be married In a fit
of passion Fred wrote breaking off the en-
gagement, even before he received any cor
roborative evidence. The lady was either
stung by the letter, or the rumor was cor
rect, as she did not reply, and from that
day he has never seen or heard of her. He
d ID not make any inquiries he did not write
to his informant, but simply waited at Cal
cutta until he had set the business affairs
in order. He then went off into the hills
intending to lose himself there, and cut HIM
self off from all things which would bring
TO his mind his unfortunate love.
Poor fellow | often wonder what has
become Of him. He has not written to any
of his old friends and is, l suppose almost
forgotten by ALL But really, Miss Raleigh -
he added, turning TO her and noticing her
agitated countenance. you don't look we'll

lie put the pho tograph back in the
cabinet and threw himself into his
chair again. But the gates of men,
cry had been opened, and in that night
he lived again the life of years ago.
He reveled in the self torture, and
whipped with unsparing hand the cruel
sores which tine could never heal. and
the deep groans which occasionally
burst from his compressed lips revealed
the agony Of the soul within.
When he rose from his chair and
went to bed it was a, m.
"a lady wishes to see you, SIR 9.
Hardinge was seated at his table with
pile Of 'daihes" before him, studying With
1mmovab Die face the press notices of his
bri7fy exclaimed :-tAb, what name pc
He took the piecezp Spasteboard handed to
hams and the eolorArose to his pale face as
he read the old familiar name ~

Curious" he seliloouized. .'fione of these
criticisms can raise the slightest emotion
but that name and he stopped.
A few moments later, the lady entered and
as he turned to greet her he caught sight of
her face.
Good heavens!" he gasped, cts Annier'
And then he became cool again.
He offered her chair and seeing that
she was at a loss as to how she should begin,
$50, Miss Raleigh, you wish to interview
me?'' =.
81 am afraid cannot adequately express
my sense of gratitude" she replied with a
sweet smile which caused his heart TO bound
again; you are indeed too kind"
well I am afraid you have chosen rather
n peor subject" said HRrdinge. You see I
am hardly yet a celebrity, but if / can assist
you in any way l shall only be too pleased
Cross examine me as you like, for, as you
know, it will be quite z novel experience, as
far as | am concerhed.S
Thank you But Mr.. Hardinge, I really
don't know how to begin. l suppose I had
better Jot down few particulars about your
surroundings, ct ceteraT
She took cut notebook and a mcneil, and
as She bent forward to}write Hardinge care
fully scrutnized her She was stITl the same
sweet girl he had loved. True she looked
older and great,dealt more serious, giving
him the impressien-that her life had not alto
gether been cast in pleasant places.
81 wonder how shey came to this?" he
thought Her husbaId must either be a
wastrel or he must be DEAD and in taking up
literature she has gone back TO her maiden
name. All, well; suRpose l ought to feel
highly delighted to see5one who scorned me
brought to this state, but upon my word
don't. My heart goes cut to her again How
l should like TO know what has happened
during. the last eight or nine years and as
Providence has placedS the opportunity in
my power, will make q bold effort to fathom
all before she leayes."g
The interviewer looked up and in rather a
beseeching tone SAD:

an incredulous tone. How was that? Par

derstand why l should be curious"

man whom he sought to arrest could
have had his head had he desired 1t
but Pribus had him kindly and politely
treated, gave him passport 1nSurlnS

the emperor's own guard, and Wnen ne
was about to leave wished him safe

The English colonistsa fberame more
seriously alarmed as they began to
comprehend what the fePmAtion Of this
new power meant. It naeant a wall in
the West that would forever hem them
in The wisdom Of Indians was clearly
apparent in their trust in such man
as Pribus, whose sagacity had directed
him to choose q proper spot, position
in the mountains impregnable to at
tack, where he was forming an empire
by sure and slow degrees.
The Cherokee empire was beginning
to attract the attention of the Alabama
tribes, the Creeks, the ChoctawS and
the Chickasaws. The influence Of Pri
bus was beginning to work for th's
amalgamation of all into one powerful
nation The seed had been planted
and was ready to grow into the plant,
when an accident happened
In the fifth year Of the empire the
secretary, set out for New Orleans es-
corted by a few Cherokees. He trav-
eled by land until he reached an In
dian town on the TallapoOsa named
Tookabatche, which was at the head
of navigation. Now this ToOkabatcne
was outside the sphere of Cherokee in
f1uence, and there were several English
traders there who had gained prestige
with the inhabitants These traders
had heard of Pribus, and telling their
Indian friends that the newcomer was
a dangerous man, they overpowered
the Cherokee escort and took monsieur
prisoner. By forced marches they al
once took him to Frederick, in Georgia,
and delivered him to the governor
there. That official placed him in close
confinement, not with felons, however,
as he was a foreigner and gentleman
For nearly a year Pribus bore his i'm
prisonment with great fortitude and
constancy, but confinement began to
tell on him, he was taken sick and
died. The Cherokees, way up in the
Georgia mountains. never again saw
their beloved brother who had never
todd them a lie.

himself as an Indian and looked like
one. He married an Indian girl and
took her to his house His retentive
memory and strong understanding en-
abled him shortly to master the dia-
lect. A pleasant picture it must have
been, the gentleman of France, sitting
by the open fire, learning from his
young wife the language of her people.
1t is a soft, melodious talk the Chero-
kee. with accents SO many and varied
that in ordinary discourse, they SEEM
ed to be singing to one another. Never
hastily, but by gradual advances he
impressed the tribesnen with a bad
opinion Of the English colonists, rep
resenting them as avaricious, fraudu-
lent and encroaching; then having in
Stilled a proper dislike of them among
the Cherokees he impressed the red men
with a high opinion of their own i'm
portance in America, the situation Of
their country, their martial DISPOSE
ton, the great number of their war
riors. It lay within their power to
check all efforts Of the ambitious Brit
