The TRAGEDY Of
] DERECK pACKENHAM.
n h

CHAPTER x, (Continucd.)

Cleavland's are that he owed his re.
stora1on TO comparative health. The
bullet had been extracted, but the
wound caused a fierce attack of fever,
which brought the once-p0werful nan
to the verge OF death.
IL was during these days of pain and
weakness that Dereck began TO under
stand how he had made a havoc of his
life, and to look his future steadily in
the face. He knew that his wife was
lost to him; he was war that this
last Wild act of his had DESTROYED ev-
cry chance of regaining her, and the
thought was madness. 1t was while
he thus lay suffering both in body anG
mind that he anne to a resolution
which was not unwise-he would re-
turn TO Africa.
Lily F1ack had returned TO her
mother and Mr.. packenham had be-
hnved very literally to her. She told
Beta Mansfield without reservation the
story of her abduction. AS the detect
i've had surmised, Dereck had taken no
part in it himself. He had not even
been on board the yacht to which his
men conveyed her, and where she was
treated with every consideration. They
crossed the channel at almost racing
pace, arriving at a small fishing port
on the opposite coast about mid-dey
the mex day, where Mr.. Packenham
was waiting to receive his wife.
Lily said that his rage had been
something terrible when he discovered
the mistake, and almost Immediately
he ordered the boat 70 be headed for
Dieppe, where the girl was put on shore
with n goodly sum in her pocket. and a
command to hold her tongue when she
crossed to England by the night mail
packet.
The money which Mr.. Packenham
gave meant a small fortune TO Lily,
who, not long afterwards, married her
sweetheart and ceased TO lend her pref
ty face to the artistic world.
Dereck wrote to Afra and told her.
that he knew he had sinned beyond
hope OF forgiveness: but begged her
TO grant him an interview before he
left the country. He, however, WINGED
at being obliged TO send the missive by
the aid of Mr.. Cleavland.
1t was some days before he received
the answer, in which Afra told him
that she must decline to see him. fer.
such an Interview would be very pain
full TO both him AMI her. Shortly after
receiving that reply Dereck Paclcn-
ham left London.

generous proportions. Straightway the

Afra breathed freely when she knew
that the man who had exercised such
a malign influence owe her life was
gone. She lived in a brighter world.
The placid beauty of rural England
was like a revelation. adding fresh joys
to a life freed from the horrors which
had once assaulted her.
Her mind was also ut rest as to her
future, for her husband had granted
her request, and settled upon her the
small but sufficient income which she
had asked. She heard OF this through
Mr.. C~leavland. who, for some reason,
ceased to visit her. The young law
yer, so his sister explained, was nov
very busy, and rapidly going to the
front of his arduous profession. Some
times Afra caught herself wishing he
had not so much to do, because she
missed his friendship, And what a
friend he had been! Did she not owe
everything to him?
When winter came SHE returned to
London; and Miss Mansfield noticed
that for the first few days after Afra
came hack there was a look OF expecta-
tlon in her eyes. But 1t died away
and the earnest art-student once more
became absorbed in her work. Mr..
Cleavland's name was never Een-

oil delaying the departure and work

in view Of the existing Spanish
American situation, and the desira-

sail from San Francisco on August 1C
remains unchanged. The president in

The Spanish government will combat
TO the last against cession of Puerto
Rico to the United States. 1t would
much rather sacrifice one of the Phil
ippine islands, contending that Puerto
Rico has always been loyal and out
side the scope of the war.
London, July 30.-A special dispatch
from Madrid says:
Though 1t is not likely that the govern
ment will decide to prolong the war be-
cause of Puerto Rico, considerable feel
Ing Is manifested, and every possible dip
lomatic effort will be made to retain 1t.
Apparently there Is little objection to ced-
ing coaling station In the Philippines
provided Spanish sovereignty Is respected
In the island. which, in the opinion of the
government and official circles generally,
Will afford compensation in commerce for
the loss of the Antilles, besides procuring
occupation for the West Indian army In
reestablishing Spanish rule. The Amer
lean reply is still anxiously awaited.
Judging from press opinions anything be-
yond the cession of Cuba will be considered
harsh and unjust. This is the unanimous
feeling among even the strongest advocates
of peace. The people are beginning to real
lie that peace will mean almost a total
loss of colonies, and looking to the deli
cate and difficult position of the queen
regent, great care Is still necessary to in
duce the nation to accept the terms. Ac-
cording to lei Liberal, the government,
| would not allow even the loss of some OF
| the Philippines to hinder the conclusion OF
peace. because II is very doubtful whether
| the country would endorse sending ar
army OF 10000 men to crush the rebellion.
