In order that new readers of THE EN-
oUIRER may begin with the following in
stallment OF this story, and understand 1t
just the same as though they had read it
all from the beginning, we here give
synopsis of that portion of it which has
already been published:

crime, is at the mercy of her husband,
goaded by Turrian, pushes him from the
Sir Jaffray Walcote, partly pledged to his
cousin, Beryl Leycester, proposes to Lola
and is finally accepted. Beryl, though
she loves Sir Jaffray, magnanimously ac-
quiesces. Lola and Sir Jaffray are mar
ried and leave England. Turrian makes
his appearance at the home of Beryl Ley
cester and learns of Lola's marriage. Sir
Jaffray and Lola return to England,
where Lola meets Turran and Ignores the
fact that she is his wife, Introducing him
to Sir Jaffray as musician from whom
she had taken lessons, but secretly grants
him an allowance. Turrian tells of a
friend who was pushed from the DEVILS
rock by bis wife, and Beryl recognizes
those referred to. She declares to Turrian

her speed and easy handling. The
order most likely in case of attack,
would be a swift signal that would
form the fleet into three divisions,
Iowa, Indiana and Massachusetts lead

Amphitrite and Miantonomah in the

would form flying squadron of pro-
lection, really sea cavalry, to protect
the heavy fighting flanks.

gunners would fire each gun once in

to cool and clean, the baltle-ship fleet

WASHINGTON'S CUP.
How Colonel j. +. 81. Claiborne Saw Hi
Choice Brandy Disappear.

How Colonel j. f. Il. Claiborne Saw His
Choice Brandy Disappear.
The following story was related to
the editor of the Natchez, Miss, Dem
ocrat and another journalist while on
visit to the sage of Dunbarton
"Many years ago." said Colonel Clai'
borne, "when I had planting interests
in Madison and Holmes counties, 1
used to ride through the country on
horseback, and as I was in feeble
health 1 usually had in my saddlebags
bottle of good old brandy. This l
had to economize, as it was not to be
obtained on the route. Stopping one
day at the log cabin of a good old
mani will call him Shaw-before
taking the dinner he had prepared, 1
drew out my bottle, and, of course,
invited my host to join me in testing
the virtues of my Otard. My host,
looking at the bottle, very considerable
ly, as 1 thought, declined my invita-
ton on the score that there was not
probably more of the brandy than
would last me 10 the end of my jour-
ney. Really approaching the consid-
Grafton of my friend, insisted on his
Joining me in a drink, and, as further
inducement told him that the cup from
which he would drink had once been
the property of General Washington,
and that he would have the pleasure
of drinking from a cup which had
touched the lips of the father of his
country.
"'This cup, you say, belonged to
the immortal Washington, the father
of his country? Then l will take a
drink from it, So saying, he poured
out a stiff horn, and having smacked
his lips over it, a thought seemed to
strike him, and he called out, oh !
Mrs. Shaw, come here, if you please.
Mrs. Shaw said he, this cup was the
property of the immortal Washington,
and has touched the lips of the father
of his country. You must take sip
of good brandy from this venerable
relic So she poured out another
drink from my bottle, which was
ouaffed with a relish by Mrs. Shaw.
My friend again called out: oh !
Polly Shaw, come here, my daughter.
Here is cup that once belonged to
the immortal Washington, and has
touched the lips of the father of his
country. You, my daughter, must
take sip of good brandy from this
valuable relic Miss Polly did not
object, and another draft was made
upon my supply of Olard.
"There was now but single dose
of my precious medicine left, and |
was watching it with some anxiety,
when new impulse seemed to inspire
my friend Shaw, and he cried out !:
Bring Claiborne Shaw here Flat.

the Shaw family was dubbed with my
own patronymic, I awaited the arrival

bear in the way of ignorant and un.
friendly comment. Such trials bring
out the nobility of a noble nature, and
so it was with General Lee.
A writer in The Southern BivouaC
says that his quarters were within SO
yards of Lees tent 10 the autumn OF
1861, while Lees army and the army
of Rosecrans lay facing each other.
Lees force was only few thousand
less than Rosecran's, and the Confed-
crates were eager for fight. Most Of
them had never seen anything more
alarming, than u skirmish, and were
still full of the notion that one south.
erner was match for five Yankees.
Lee did not fight. His army "sat
there in the mud" and grumbled
about the inactivity of their general.
A considerable part of the southern
press began to denounce the policy
which they could not understand.
Lee was pronounced a failure, and
when Rosencrans retreated in six inch
es of snow and an unknown depth OF
mud, universal howl was raised by
the military editors"
At that time the writer in The Biv-
ouac used to pass and repass Lees
quarters to see what effect the public
outcry would have upon him; but
there was no change in his counte-
nance, though he would sit by the
hour on log near his tent reading the
newspapers.
Afterward Lee was ordered to the
seacoast of South Carolina, and there

government, on the plan of its CAM

Once he heard Lee asked why he
did not fight Rosecrans, as his army
had wished him to do. He answered
that the battle would have been with
out results, as he should have been en-
tirely unable to follow up victory.
"But," said his questioner, "your-
reputation was suffering, the press was
deaouncing you, your state was losing
confidence in you, and the army need
ed ii victory to give it enthusiasm.
A sad smile lit up Lees fine face,
and his reply was worthy of a Spartan,
better yet, of Christian

CURLY-HAIRED MEN.-There is
well-de6ned prejudice agains: curly
haired men when it comes to choosing
jury to try criminal cases. The
prejudice, when it is manifested, comes
from the defence. When asked to ex-
plain the objection to curly-haired
men, a prominent practitioner said:
"When was just starting my men
tor inculcated that idea to me. He
said that curly y-haired men had almost
invariably been the pampered darlings
of their parents, and in their youth
had been so used to having their own
way that they had come to believe
that everybody on earth was wrong
except themselves. In this way the
seeds of opposition were sown, and
when they grow older they make a
point to disagree with everybody and
everything. If everybody else on the
jury votes for acquittal they vote for
conviction, as a matter Of course"

quietly, "and will tell Eer al tina need
be told and as gradually as possible. "
They had reached the bottom of the
staircase. The baronet stood in the
great hall, Beryl being two or three
steps above him, with her hand on the
balustrade, in the act of turning back
to 60 to Lady Walcote.
"Your presence in the house is a
great comfort, Beryl," said the bar
onet. ~ can't thank you yet as
would"
81 am sorry for all the trouble that
has come to you, Jaffray," she answer
ed, pausing to look down on him. IF
I can help you, of course you know |
will. There is no need for any mention
of thanks between such old friends.
At that moment there was a commo
ton in the hall, and Mr.. Clifford en-.
tered, followed by a police inspector.
Here is Sir Jaffray himself, Mr..
Borderham, said the private detective.
"The inspector would like to see you,
sir, about this most distressing affair. I"
eff it's convenient, Sir Jaffrey," add
ed the inspector.
Certainly, inspector, certainly, re-
piled the baronet. Come into the
study" And, bracing himself for the
interview, he led the way, followed by
the two men, while Beryl went Oh
slowly up stairs.
As she looked at them across the hall
Mr.. Clifford, who was the last of the
three, turned for q second and shrugged
his shoulders and lifted his hands with
q gesture which she read TO mean that
something serious had happened.
Then, full Of disquiet, she went Oh
to Lady Walcote's room.

PRAYER BY TELEPHONE.-At a
small dinner given recently in west
srn city, relates the New York Sun,
the guest of honor was young mar
ried woman who is the proud mother
of two handsome boys, both under
Eve years of age. In their education
she endeav vors to follow a system, af-
ter the manner of most young moth
ers, and is very particular to live up
to any rule she has made for them.
During an early course in the din
ner, and in the middle of an animated
conversation with her host, she sud-
denly paused with a startled look and
cried:
"There, if 1 did not forget those
boys again! Have you telephone in
the house, and may use it?"
She was taken TO the telephone by
her host, and l.. murmur of her voice
in earnest conversation floated back to
the dining room. After short pause
she returned.

UNDER The CRITICS FIRE.

No military commander escapes un'
friendly criticism. Subordinate Off
GERS, private soldiers, civilians and the
daily press-all these take a hand in
offering him advice and showing him
his errors. General Robert E. Lee

dence of his army, and Of the people
behind the army, to very exception

How LONG HENS ARE PROFITABLE.
Generally it does not pay to keep
hen more than three years, though, as
exceptions, there are hens that are
profitable as much as two years longer.
A writer on this subject has said that
the first year of hens life is her ban
ner year for eggs her second year for
breeding; the third year will yet be
useful, but not as much so rs the pre-.
vious two; and after that she is prac-
tically worthless as a table fowl.

the city is reduced, it is doubtful if
any of the big ships would be sent
through the narrow channel to the in
ner bay. Torpedo boats would first

way of mines or torpedoes, if possible,
but, there would be no necessity Of
landing any force or reducing further

of the town."

Brooklyn base ball team judging from
the present outlook, as he has been
drafted by that club. The Brooklyn
public have in some way formed a dis
like for Lachance the present first
base man, and guys him SO badly that it
spoils his playing when he is at home.
He will doubtless make a good man
for some other club, as he is really a
good player. This, however, makes Il
good opening in the big league for
Kelley, and from his reputation as a
player and his steady habits, his
friends in Augusta feel sure that he
will give a good account of himself,
and be able to hold the position for
which he is wanted.

Adjutant General Richards was yery
much pleased, Saturday morning, 1T
hearing that the plan of mastering out
the LIST Regiment at the home stations
mended, last week, mad been adopte ]
by the war department. The officers
were rather in doubt, Friday, what
course tine government would pursue
in the matter, and as they had no or
ders, they telegraphed for instructions.
The orders came, Saturday morning,
that they were to be mustered out at
the home stations of the companies.
This action by the adjutant general
in suggesting that they he mus.
tered out at home, has probably
saved many a poor fellow an illness of
some kind. and perhaps it has saved
many lives, for sickness would surely
have attended the bringing of a regi-
ment into camp here, at this season of
the year.
When once the men are out of the
United States service, those who are
members OF the National Guard will
once more be under the direction Of the
State officers, as their leaves of abb
sence expire when the United States
government is through with them 1t
is probable that these leaves will be
extended at least to April, until after
the meeting of the Legislature, so as
to see what action that body takes with
them. When mustered out, the men
will own their clothing, but will not
have equipments of any sort, and the
State has none to give them.
Of course there is no one who can tell
what the Legislature will do in the
military line as it has many things in
view. but the military authorities will
not advise any change in the National
Guard laws until after Congress makes
its arrangements. Then the State will
doubtless fall in line. Until this mat
ter is settled the work of the men of
the National Guard, who are now
members of the regiment, will be small.
In the ranks of the regiment, of the
men who are members of the guard,
there will be one occasionally found
who will say that he will get out of the
guard, upon being mustered out of the
service. AS rule, however, this is not
the case, and it looks as though there
once more wanted, asibefore the war. The
places of these members who will leave
will more than be filled by other mem
on that score.
