that there are many things that you might

that there are many things that you might
learn from her.
'sOf course, I know and there Mi
chelle halted in her short, sharp speech.
She felt suddenly ashamed. What bust
ness had she to know more of Paurs at
fairs than he told her? Ay, but there
was the rub. Ought he not to have told
her when he asked her to be his wife!
And then he realized that this question
must be set at rest once and for all, and
he applied himself to the business like
wise man. ''You have been hearing some
gossip about me, Michele, have you not!
II don't know whether it is gossip Or
not Michele faltered.
"You mean you do not know whether it
is true or not? Well, dear child, listen to
me for a moment. l simply did not tell
you what | thought might give you some
unnecessary pain. You know implied
it to you-that had loved some one else
before l asked you to be my wife. That
some one, dear, was Anne Carteret. 1t
was soon over. l am sorry you should
have heard anything of it, for l did not
think the matter would ever get wind;
but since it has done so, it is better that
you should know the truth. Is there
anything more you wish to ask me-"
NO" said Michele. She was hot and
angry still. A word of real tenderness
would have brought her to his feet in
tears. But in spite of all his kindness,
in spite of the caressing epithets which
he applied to her, she felt conscious that
the element of tenderness was the one
thing wanting from his speech. Was it
possible that he was contrasting her with
Anne? Her heart throbbed and swelled
at the very thought
''And one thing | must say" Eastlake
continued very gravely. 1T would have
been better, Michele, to ask me frankly
about it, rather than try to attain your
end by innuendoes and display of i'll
humor. My dear, I am very sorry to say
this; but you are still so young-so much
of child to me in years-that l may
surely venture to scold you little now
and then"
He often kissed her when he said good
night; often, not always. He did not do
SO this evening. He felt, oddly enough,
as if he should be taking liberty. A
liberty? He had taken liberties with Mi
chelle all her life. But then, this silent,
shy, beautiful maiden, with the sweet,
sad eyes, was not his little pet and play
mate any more.
He had been alternately blaming and
excusing her because she was such
child; and, 10, it was borne upon him all
at once.t that she was child no longer, but
woman grown. What view was he to
take of her conduct and character now?
It must be confessed that Eastlake did
not think much of her conduct and char
acter He knew all about them. He was
considering how very sweet Michelle's
eyes were, and what she meant by that
beautiful rosy blush. These were SUBJ
jects of reflection which had the advant-
age of being new.

CHAPTER XXNI.

Eastlake, two or three days later, to Mi
chelle.
''Yes. l suppose So"

60, too
Don't you know? She is very ill. They
say she ought not to be moved for ever
so long. And Anne. who looks like a
ghost herself, has gone to nurse her"
''She is a saint said Eastlake devout-
ly.
The color rose to Michelle's check.
Eastlake's words recalled to her mind.
what indeed was never long absent, the
information which Lawrence had given
her concerning Eastlake himself and
Anne. The remembrance gave some cold
ness to the tone of her answer. ANNE
likes nursing" she said, and turned her
face to the sea.
Eastlake did not see how the muscles
of her face were working, and how pain
fully her fingers were clasped together,
or he would not have answered as he did.
He looked out to the purple sea, no longer
gilded by the rays of the setting sun,
smiled. and said half playfully. half re-
proachfully:

CHAPTER XIV.

The evening passed quietly in Ramleh.
1t was not till Sunday morning that the
Dumaresqs became aware of the tumultu-
GUS state of the city on Saturday night.
Michele and her mother were just pre-
pairing to go by train to Alexandria for
the morning service when a note was
brought to Mr.. Dumaresq by one of the
clerks, who seemed to be bubbling over
with news. After a little talk with him,
he came out to his wife and daughter
with rather a grave face.
''You had better not go this morning.
he said. 1--WE are behindhand with the
news, it seems. Arab resigned yester-
day on account of the interference of the
European consuls. His favorite regiment
is in Alexandria; and the officers of the
garrison here telegraphed to the Khedive
last night that if Arab were not restored
by noon to-day they would fire on the
English ships in the harbor." (Th;s report
turned out to be an exaggeration of the
true state of the case; the officers had tele-
graphed that they would not be response
BILE for the maintenance of public Orderly
"Oh, dear, how frightened the Seymours
and Anne must have been!' calculated
Mrs. Dumaresq.
'And things are worse at Cairo. The
Khediye had a meeting of the Ministers
and chief personages yesterday; and was
insulted in his own palace by Toulbek
Pasha and others. They said they reject
ed the Joint Note and all the Anglo
French interference and would await the
decision of the Porte. Then they with
drew, and one of the colonies broke win
dow with the point of his sword as he
went, as an insult to the Khedive."
II must go into town." said Mr. Du-
maresq. ''There is meeting of English
residents at the Consulate, fixed for eleven
O'Clock. shall only just have time to
catch the train"
They sent a message to Anne, asking
whether she would like to come out to
them at Ramleh, but received the reply
that she preferred staying with Mrs. Sey
mour She was not alarmed, and she
thorght Glare felt less timid when she
was with her. The Dumaresqs sat down
to dinner next day with gloomy faces. The
outlook was dark one for the people
whose interests in the country were as
large as theirs. Rolleston and Harold
burst out with some rash denunciation of
government which did not sufficiently
protect its subjects, but were hushed by
Mr. Dumaresq.
II think we had better not talk so be-
fore the servants" he said, when Hus-
sein and Mohammed were out of the room.
..They listen eagerly to anything of the
kind that we may say. All the same. if
negotiations fall shall feel inclined to
leave the country altogether. Egypt will
not be safe for Englishmen. The Arabs
sneer ut us and our ships" And then he
relapsea into silence as the men came
back.
1t was hard to think that these gentle
manneresl soft-spoken, brown-faced men
could By any possibility be transformed
into monsters such as murdered and burn
ed and pillaged in India during the Mu-
tiny: and yet upon that evening the 18th
of May, 1SS2-the thought of those terri
bic massacres passed through the minds
of many people resident In Alexandria.

He walked into the car at Punkinville,
and after carefully placing his black

sigh.
The spruce old gent in the next seat

"Used to be purity fair town, strang-
er, but she's no good now"

FOR CUBA'S CAUSE.
Mass Meeting Held In Music Hall
Last Evening.
Several Speeches Made Ia Behalf OF the
~ Struggling Insurgents. ....ss-e.

The flags OF the United States and OF
Cuba were together last night on tho
stage of Music hall and a large number OF
sympathizers checrcd the combination
and met with enthusiastic support the
first public demonstration of the local
branch of the eCuban-American Junta.
Rev. Francis +. Tower was chairman
OF the meeting and with him on the plat
form were President ii. A. Zayas, General
Agent j. william Brown, Treasurer
Orvillo l.. Leach, Colonel Daniel X.
tain George H. Pcttis
Music was furnished by the Narragansctt
orchestra and there was singing and reci-
tations by Miss Hannah l. Bell, Miss May
A. Bell, Miss Ethel Thornton.
BY way of introduction Mr.. Tower said
"A little way from our shore there Is u
struggling people. IL ever there was a
justiiiable uprising it is that of the
Cubans. Not until forbcarance has ceased
10 be virtue will people rise in this
way
President Zayss said in part: Cuba,
for the last three quarters of u century,
has been the scene of long-continued In
surrcctions. War is an awful calamity, but
there arc times i'm the history OF people
when war Is the instrument Of God s
justice. Tho war waged in defence of
liberty, of conscience is holy war. l ex-
clainV with your great General L. :.
Grant, roani voice the sentiments of the
Cuban people, Let us have peace, but
let 1t be an honorable peace. Peace
with liberty, not iniquity. The first war
cost Spain zoo, 600 soldiers and was only
concluded when Spain promised number
of reforms, which still exist only on paper.
The Cuban Deputies elected to the
Spanish Cortes, when they arrived in
Madrid, found that they were Z against
240. When they advocated reforms in
Cuba, the Spanish Deputies absented
themselves, but they returned when the
budget came up for consideration.
Although Spain has taken $500, 600, 600
from Cuba since the last war, she has
built in return, not one library, one hos
pital, one road. Out of the last budget
of $34, 000 600, fully 40 per cent. is required
for the support Of the army and navy;
another 40 per cent. for interest on the
war debt, and of the whole s3i, 000, coo,
only sl72, 600 is set aside for education on
the island. This lack of educational facil-
tiles has been the death blow Of Spain,
for the Cubans have come to this country
for their education, and have learned with
it what liberty means. The war has been
waged on the Cuban side with Inodcra-
tion and respect for the laws of war. This
has brought forth the curious spectacle of
Cuba, which has not been recognized,
treating prisoners with moderation, while
Spain, claiming to be a Christian nation
treats her prisoners with much cruelty
1.-The Cubans are fighting for civil and
religious liberty, and as such they deserve
the trust and aid of this country. The
day is not far distant when on these issues
we will rear in Cuba the walls of stately
temple, the Republic of Cuba. T"
