been in the line of her duty as school
mistress of Seaport.
The town lay inland half a mile,
scattered along the bank of a river
that slipped down through salt marshes
to the sea. 1t was primitive little
places; its main industry was fishing.
Indeed, the pungent smell of drying
fish, and the fishhouses, gray and
weatherbeaten, and full of lobster pots
and Seines,i betrayed that fact to any
stranger. Dick Wheeler was almost
the only man in Seaport who was not a
fisherman. He had made an effort to
| follow the trade of his neighbors, but
his one voyage on the Samuel p. Jones
had been too unsuccessful to encourage
him to put his fathers inheritance into
a vessel; instead, he bought sawmill,
and was growing richer every year.
Mary never had OCCASION to correct
| Dicks grammar, nor reproach him for
breaking his promises; but when, after
her friendly scolding for his forgetful-
ness, Donald said, slyly, something to
the effect that Dick Wheeler, who never
forgot things, was probably the kind of
pupil she had in her school, the kin

ENGLAND'S BACK-DOWN.
The Press of the Country Indignant Over
Lord Salisbury's Weakness.

LORD SallSDury'S weakness.
LONDON, Feb. IA wave of indigna-
ton has swept over the press through
out the country at Lord Salisbury's
alleged back-down at Ia Lien Wan.
Conservatives no less than liberals be-
wall the supposed retreat from an I'M
assailable position on the ground that
Great Britain, supported by the United
States and Japan, might safely have
defied Russia. 1t is understood that
the government is angry with the
Times for revealing the position.
The Standard Thursday morning, in
the course of an editorial expressing
it's regret, assumes that since there is
no official information to the contrary,
the Times version of the situation is
correct. 1t thinks this will be pain
fully felt in the course of the pending
by-elections, especially as the story
suggests suspicious of a larger and
wider surrender"
The editorial concludes by advising
the government to let the country
know as speedily as possible exactly

CHAPTER Ii.

The day after the big three-master,
with Donald as mate, dropped down
the river, Mary drove down to Mrs.
Hayes with her little cowskin trunk
strapped into the back of the buggy.
''I1l stay a week" she told her IA
Their. But at the enc of a week Don
aids mother was i'll, and somehow the
week heightened into a month. And
then Mrs. Hayes said she felt the lone
illness more than usual, and if Mary
1oOuId stay?-"just a week or two
longer" she pleaded. A week or, two
meant month or two; and after that,
well, Donald was coming home the
middle of December, so what was
the use of leaving his mother?
''She's not fit to be alone" Mary told
her own mother. That was how it
happened that when the dark Deem
Der days began to close in around the
little gray house, that chung so close to
the shore, Mary was on hand to fix the
glass at the west window of the kitchen,
so that the old mother might sweep the
horizon for a sign of the Samuel P.
Jones sails.
Il don't expect him on time, child, :"
she would tell the girl, but by Christ
mas day sure;" and then they would
smile at each other
The months of waiting had not been
anxious ones; there had been no heavy
storms along the coast, and that
was somehow an assurance that there
had been no heavy storms anywhere
else. But Christmas day came and
went; and the old year slipped into the
new, and the Samuel P. Jones had not
come. Explanations and excuses null
tiplied; declarations that all was well
grew more insistent; instances of delay
were repeated over and over; bus it
was the first of February hefore-news
came.
Wrecked off the Azores: it was feared
all hands were lost.

Donald admitted; when get blamed
pen into my hand 1 never can think OF

twilight. Perhaps the jibes of the men
at the wharf made Donald say, with
sudden wistfulness:
''Well, Dick Wheeler's house is smart
er, 1 must say!"
'Oh, it's too big" Mary, objected,
carelessly; and Donald agreed, with
animation, and said, forrhis part, he
liked Dick
After that they were silent, looking
out across the gray, breathing, lifting
expanse, at the fading crimson in the
west; and a little later they turned
back. When they reached the foot of
the garden, and he helped Mary out,
Donald held her hand hard in his a
moment.
You'll mind what l said about
mother, won't you? And-and you
won't go back on me, Mary?p
She looked him straight in the eyes,
and her lip quivered. ''Take care of
yourself, Don," she faltered. But he
only laughed, because he was too happy
to answer her seriously.
BLESS you! I'm not sugar nor salt. -
Then he told her he would come up
after supper, and they would go to
prayer meeting.
IF you don't forget it, she told him,
sarcastically.
''WeI, that's So" he acknowledged,
humbly enough, Il must say, I'm good
at forgetting. But I'm coming, just

RUBENS' REPLY TO GEOsVENOR.
Says the Ohio Statesman Is Mistaken in His
Statements.

New York, April 9-Horatio s. Ru-
bens. counsel to the Cuban junta In this
city, was interviewed yesterday In refer
ence to the statements made in con-
gress Thursday by Grosvenor Of Ohio
that Colonel John J. McCook is the legal
representative of the Cuban junta of
New York. behind which stands $780,
100000 worth of bonds that can be
validated by the recognition of indepen-
dence of Cuba by the United States"
and that these would be destroyed by
a policy that would drive Spain out of
Cuba in .he interests Of the American
people.
Rubens said: Those statements are
incorrect. ]. ]. McCook is not a repre-
sentative of the Cuban junta, and as to
the s40O, ,0O0, 900 bonds. must refer you
to the statement Of Benjamin F.
Guerra, deputy treasurer Of the Cuban
republic, showing that the amount of
Cuban bonds purchased was only a
little over 100000 and these were
bought for about 40 per cent of their
face value. Furthermore, there have
been no concessions by granting or SELL
ing Of any kind whatsoever"
''Des J. J. McCook represent any per-
sonal holding Of Cuban obligations?"
was asked.
Rubens replied with emphasis: ITO
my positive knowledge there is no one
who has any claim on the Cuban gov
ernment except the Cuban soldiers and
the civil employees of the Republican
government. Their claims are to be
settled after the establishment of
peace"
McCook then added: IT called upon
General Grosvenor. who said that his
remarks were based upon statements
which he had seen in the public prints
and after full and free discussion with
him frankly disavowed any purpose to
do me injustice by making any state
ments which were not entirely sub
stantiated by the facts in the case He
voluntarily offered to make the matter
right in the official record Of the house
upon its assembling Monday morning
McCook further said that several
months ago he suggested that the Gu.
bans might buy their independence from
Spain by giving Spain an indemnity IN
bonds Of the Cuban republic, and add.
ed: This suggestion is the only rela.
tion have ever had to the bonds Of tn;
Cuban republic"
