CHAPTER -(COntinued.)
For long time Lord Aylmer sat lost
in angry thought. SO this was the
meaning of Dicks sudden surrender,
his dutiful acQuiescance with his UNI
cle's wishes. There had been no break
ing of his chains when he set sail for
the East, no burning of his boats be-
hind him. Not a bit of it. No; the
young gentleman had quietly-ay, and
very cleverly-made the best of what
to him was a very bad and very dis
tasteful business. and intended to car
ny on the Palace Mansions arrange
ment in Madras just as he had done
IN London
But somebody else had to be dealt
with, the old lords grim thoughts ran
somebody else with brain "a good
deal shrewder than Dicks. and a will
like cold steel Lord Aylmer would
have something to do and say in the
matter of Mrs. Harris Intended voy-
age to India, and he had no notion
whatever of allowing his nephew,
whom he cordially detesteG, to carry
out all his arrangements in triumph,
and in spite of him.
He reused himself presently. and
went to the table, whore writing ma
terials were lying. Then he forced him
self to write an ordinary letter TO Dick,
telling him ne was in town for few
days, but was off to Aylmer's Field to-
morrow; that my lady was better and
he trusted Dick would bear in mind
that he had to reinstate himself in his
uncle's good graces, that he might get
over the disappointment caused by his
refusal 20 marry Mary Annandale. and
therefore he trusted ne would spare no
pains to make himself Indispensable
to his Old friend. Barry BoyntOn. And
at the end Of this meaningless and
commonplace letter Lord Aylmer made
an addition, which. like the scorpions
tail. contained the sting:

GENEALOGICAL TRAGEDY,

Had Been Lost.

Had Been Lost.
1t was one Of those big English es-
tates which was to make a great many
people rich if all the links in the long
chain OF ancestry could be found, says
the New York Times. The legatees in
this country had twenty-one years in
which to prove their claim before the
property would revert TO the crown.
Everything possible had been done and
one link was still missing. This was
an old family Bible containing certain
necessary records. 1t was supposed TO
have been burned at the time OF the
Deerfield massacre. but notwithstaad-
ing, every effort had been made TO fad
it IL by any possibility it was in exist
ence, but without success, ana the time
expired. Two years later. one of the
legatees, New York woman, CHANGED
to see in a paper the advertisement of
a woman who wanted work The ad-
vertiser had signed her name, and it
was a family name of the woman who
was one of the claimants for the Eng
lish estate. 1t was perhaps the persist
searcher into genealogical records new

in many years search for previous doc
uments which interested her at once.
She answered the advertisement in per-

who had died, leaving her In financial
straits, which had forced her to adj
vertise for something to do to support
herself. But the strange and romantic
part of the story was that among old
books and papers which had been cher
ished as having belonged to her hus-
band the woman had the old Bible, with
its register Of births and deaths. and
the only link that had been needed to
obtain the large estate, and now that it
was too late it was found where it had
been treasured simuly as a souvenir.

Amelia said it went" Dorothy re-
piled. She, poor child. had never adj
mitted as much to her cousin. but she
was prepared for the worst that could
possibly happen. Dicks long silence
was beginning to tell upon her. and
she was not recovering as quickly as
might be desired; indeed, her doctor
and her cousin, too were for the most
part thoroughly uneasy about her And
yet, she had now been nearly six weeks
without line from Dick-Dick. who
had left her with such fond words Of
love on his lips-ay, and in his eyes
Dick, who knew that now, OF all times,
letters would be of greater value than
ever they had been, when she was left
alone in her hour of trial. Yet he had
not written. there was no answer to the
telegram announcing the boys birth
there had come no word nor sign out
OF the dark Darkness of hope and fear,
doubt and despair, which was gradually
creeping over her.
And after all, she told herself. it was
not to be wondered at if Dick had got
little tired of her-a stupid little
thing like her, as ignorant as a child.

began, intending to say, "such a pity
that Lord and Lady Aylmer did not

off short, suddenly remembering that
it would not do to speak of Lord Ayl-

and also that she was not supposed to
know more of them than Lord Aylmer
himself would be likely to tell so new

Tho statement that Speaker Reed has

incidentally the fact that it is in con-

HUT was never invited to the chair. Hen
ry Clay, it is said, set the precedent by
declining such a courtesy upon his return
to the floor after period of absence and
Samuel J. Randall followed it. The dis
cusslon of the subject among a group of
old habitues of the capitol brought out
this story of Banks the other day:
At the close of the first session of the

day and hour for the termination of the
session, the House would now adjourn

toward him, shouting: "Mr. Speaker,

AT Scotch weddings, some years ago, it
used to be the custom to batter the hat

underground Animals"

The sand-martins are the most COM
plete examples of creatures which have
taken to underground life entirely to pro-
tect their young, and abandon it with JOY
the instant these have flown How far
the kingfsher and the shedrake contrib
ute to the making of the burrows in which
they lay their eggs is doubtful, but it is
a very notable change of habit in birds
of such strong flight and opcn-air, active
birds. 1t may be paralleled by the case
of the stormy pctrels and fork-tailcd pc
trels, true ocean birds, which, nevertheless
abandon the sea and air to dig deep holes
i'll the soil of the Hebridean islets, and
rear their. young in these dark and tortu-
GUS passages. Rabbits, rats and some
other rodents make nursery burrow of
the very rudimentary kind, having only
one opening which the mothers close up
when leaving the nest. This probably
gives the clue to the process by which the
true underground animals have been
evolved. First they scratched holes in
which to shelter their young. Then they
made use of the same device to protect
themselves, and acquired much greater
skill i'll working, and some notifications
of coats and claws to do this with COM
fort and effect. In time the habit became
so easy that its exercise afforded them
pleasure; and thus we have the spectacle
of the prairie-dog who digs holes for

Senator Hoar made a very telling an
swer to Senator Rawlins in the debate in
the Senate on the Teller bond bill. Mr..
KaWlins had been telling about the $780,
O0O,WO,OOO that would be required to pay
all the obligations of this country, if they
were to be settled at once, and gave some
figures to show how impossible it would
be to settle with gold or silver, or both
together. Then this followed:
Mr.. Hoar-.Very we'll. The senator
says that we should have, in order to pay
those debts, sum of money equal to the
entire mass of the Indebtedness
