sorrow which had darkened and laid

sorrow which had darkened and laid
waste his whole existence.
ITO have life killed in one, for a
woman's sake!" he muttered, savagely,
Ignoring the presence Of Lurline.
She spoke at last.
Listen, Morris Dudley" she cried,
coldly. "Your Viva is dead. / saw
some one who told me that he came
across her in Paris. at the morgue-'
Maddened, desperate, not knowing
what he did, the man sprang forward
and gripped her white throat In his
strong fingers. He forgot that she was
woman, and that the act was brutal;
he only remembered that it was she
who had wrought the ruin Of the one
that he had loved-his little tender, in
nocent fower-his wife. That she had
fastened herself upon Viva Dud-
ey's life as the wasp fastens
Upon its quivering victim and
trains Its life blood, drop by
drop; that to Lurllne Chadwicke he
was indebted for all the agony and
desolation of his life; his dishonored
hearth, his deserted home; all the mis-
cry which for years he had endured
unsupported by the world.
And he could have killed her as she
stood there before him, and felt that
he did no murder in removing from
the world this pretty, painted snake
who lay in wait to sting unsuspecting
innocence.
She reeled unsteadily in the grasp Of
his strong hands, and then he recol-
lected her sex, and that she was weak,
and he released his hold upon her.
Zone cannot kill such as you," he
cried, because you are women.
Though you Stay innocence and murder
purity in the hearts of others of your
sex, because you are women, men can
not !strangle the lives from your bod
les! 1t is better to leave you in the
hands Of God. The day of retribution
will surely come, and you cannot es.
cape it."
He turned away and left the room
and the house.
Mrs. Chadwick sank into a seat,
pallid and gasping. After time the
old light came back to her beautiful
eyes, and the color to her delicate
cheeks. She poured out a wineglassful
of brandy, and drank it every drop.
"Ha! hal" she laughed, derisively,
"you think to intimidate me, Morris
Dudley! I'll be even with you yet, if it
costs me my life!"

her.
Sit down, Mrs. Ardsley," he said In
q tone Of the deepest respect, and ad.
dressing her by her new name. as a
matter of course. II would not have
intruded upon you-believe me-but
have something Of importance to com.

She started, and the faint color
surged into her pallid face. He went
on slowly, transfxipg her with his
dark, scintillating eyes.
Eyes, 1t is very 1nportant-gravely
so; and you must prepare yourself for
fearful shock. Mrs. Ardsley-" He
hesitated.
Lesley sprang forward, her. form
| quivering with intense emotion, her
eyes shining. her breath short and
quick. She could scarcely speak, SO
great was her emotion.
"Tell mel" she painted; "for Heav-
ems sake, tell me, Mr.. Ruthven-is-is
it anything about him?"
He bowed, with q grave look upon
his dark face.
John Ardsley has been heard FROM"
he said slowly; "his whereabouts has
been discovered at last.
Thank Heaven!"
The words burst like a wall from
Lesley's white lips. "Oh, thank Heav-

though he is false to me! Better false
to me than that he is dead, or per-
chance suffering! Tell me-tell me all,

Max Ruthven stood amazed. Never
before in all his sordid,, selfish life
aad he encountered love like this, self
abnegating, caring for naught save the
welfare Of the loved one. Black
hearted villain as he was, he paused,
overcome, in the presence Of this girls
lnselfsh devotion.
He is not false 10 you!" Ruthven
said, in low tone; mot false to you
eor-he is dead! Listen, Lesley! Do
not look like that. Do you hear what
| am saying? He was drowned in the
river, not far from the spot where he
saved you-where your horse ran away
with you that day-you remember?-
and-and his body was washed ashore
this morning."

LONDON SC[PT|CAL.
Spanish Officials There Re
gard the Times as In
favorable to Peace.
rBy Gable to The Associated Press. ]

LONDON, July o. 1S9S.-The statement
made by senor Gamazo, the Spanish Min
lister of Public instruction. to the effect
that peace, honorable to the Spanish
Army, will shortly be concluded, is re-
garded in London more as an indication
of personal opinion or hope, than as re-
fiecting any general decision of the Cab
met Nothing showing any move in the
direction of peace has been received here
from any quarter likely to be well inform
ed on the subject.
The Spanish Ambassador, Count Ras-
cen. who was questioned on the subject,
said
1--WE have no news from Madrid and we
have no reason to believe any such de-
cided step has been taken as Senor
Gamaza's statement would Indicate
AT one o'clock this afternoon promi-
nent official of the British Foreign Otiice,
remarked to representative of the AS
sociated Press:-'We have absolutely
nothing confirmatory of Senior Gamazo's s
we hope it is true. but SO far as we are
advised, the signs do not seem propitious
for early peace
Continuing, the Foreign Office official
remarked: " Relative to the idea that
England will be prominently connected
with the future peace negotiations. abso-
luteIy nothing has occurred thus far upon
which to base the idea AS general
principle in these affairs, the interference
of neutral Is mistake, unless invited
by both belligerents.'
1t is known that the Spanish Ambassa-
dors have been sounding the other Am
bassadors at all of the Courts of Europe,
with the object of inducing concerted rep
reservations at Washington to stop the
war and there is reason to be-
neve that Great Britain is no
longer alone In demurring at this
and pointing out the uselessness OF such
a course.
On the other hand, 1t is said that rep
reservations TO stop the war have been
made at Madrid; but, judging from the
results they have not been sufflcientiy
strong to induce Spain to come TO her
senses. 1t is recognized by all except
Spain that the United States will refuse
to listen to suggestions upon the part of
the concerted Powers.
tsIn this matter, one of the Ambassa-
dors said to a representative Of The AS
sociated Press Spain knows the irredu-
chile minimum upon which the United
States will discuss peace. What Is she
waiting for? Spain seems to forget the
United States can stop the war the mo-
ment she likes, now that she has no
Spanish fleet to reckon with, she can
take Porto Rico and the Canary Islands
at her leisure and finally deal with Cuba
in the cool weather. Then Spain will
consider the American terms less ridicu-
Ions than now

which would be cleared up as soon as 1t
became known that the Cubans here and
the Washington authorities desired no
friction.
Senior Quesada did not see Secretary
Alger, but talked briefly with Assistant
Secretary Meiklejohn who said that fur
ther Information from Gen. Shafter was
by the Department. 1t was stated, how
ever that there has been no withdrawal
of supplies from the Cubans, and that
the ships which sailed a day or two no
doubt were unloading supplies for Gomez
which would be delivered to him under
the direction of Lieut.. Johnston.
The town of Jiguari. to which the Gu
ban army under Garcia has Withdrawn.
is one Of the towns which the Cubans
captured Independently during the SAN
tiagO campaign.
President Palma, who was in Washing
ton yesterday, has returned to New York.
No reports of the yellow fever situation
at tho front wore received yesterday or
today said Adjutant General Corbin to-
day. Something, however, is expected
from General Shafter very soon, as he IS
under Instructions to forward to the War
Department full detailed report of the
situation. and the names of the victims.
