PAULINE THREATENS VENGEANCE.

PAULINE THREATENS VENGEANCE.
pray do not leave us, Miss Hastings: I
wish you 10 hear what l have TO say TO nv
niece, IL you will consent 10 remain:' and
Sir Oswald placed a chair for the gentle,
amlable lady, who was so fearful Of coming
harm to her wlllful pupil.
Miss Hastings took IL, and looked appre-
hensiyely az the baronet. 1t was the morn
ing after the ball, and Sir Oswald had sent
TO request the presence Of both ladies In the
library.
Pauline looked fresh and brilliant; fatigue
had not affected her. She had taken more
pains than usual with her toilet; her dress
was a plain yet handsome morning costume,
There was no trace Of fear on her counte-
nance; the threats Of the previous night had
made no impression upon her. She looked
calmly at Sir Osvald's flushed, agitated face.
pray be seated, Miss Darrell" he said;
'it is you especially whom l wish to SEE"
Pauline took n chair and looked at him
with an air OF great attention. Sir Oswald
turned the diamond ring OH his finger.
Am | TO understand, Miss Darrell" he
asked, that you refused Captain Langton
last EVENING"
Yes" she replied, distinctly.
"Will you permit me TO ask why? he con-
tinued.
Because l do not love him, Sir Oswald. I
may even 60 further, and say / do not re-
spect him."
Yet he is a gentleman by birth and educa-
ton, handsome, most agreeable In manner,
devoted TO you, and my friend"
IL do not love him." she said again; ''and
the Darrells are too true a race TO marry with
out love-
The allusion TO his race pleased the baro-
not, in spite OF his anger.
Did Captain Langton give you 10 under
stand the alternative?' asked Sir Oswald.
Did he tell you my resolve in case you
should refuse him.
She laughed a clear, ringing laugh, in
which there was a slight tinge OF mockery.
Slight though IL was Sir Oswald's face flush.
ed hotly as he heard il.
He told me that you would ~disinherit me
II | did not marry him; but / told him you
would never ignore the claim Of the last liv-
ing Darreil-you would not pass me over,
and make a stranger your heir"
But did he tell you my intentions IL you
refused him?'
Again came the musical laugh that seemed
to irritate Sir Oswald so greatly.
He talked some nonsense about your mar
rying," said Pauline; but that of course l
did not believe"
And why did you not believe it, Miss
Darrell?i
Because | thought If you had wished to
marry you would have married before this"
she replied.

ANOTHER VIEW OF 1T.


Situation, at Havana Is Not Critical,
but Is Delicate.
New York, December pa dispatch TO
the Tribune from Havana says:
The situation here is not critical but II
is delicate. The Cuban leaders are hoping
the Washington authorities will permit u
parade of their forces on Monday, which
would not complicate the transfer OF Span
ish sovereignty and would not commit the
United States to an official recognition or
the insurgent army. Neither General
Brooke nor General Ludlow has been Will
ing to take this responsibility. Gomez Will
not come unless he can be received by his
army. The insurGent commanders promise
to take fun responsibility for REFRESHING
dison1er and maintaining discipline, IT
they should fail to do so. 1t would end
their influence. II the reception to Gomez
is not permitted. the Cuban committees
say than tho proposed celebrations will he
abandoned and that both the American and
Cuban flags which have been flying from
the houses of Cubans Will be taken town
and no demonstration be held.
They declare that while the people will
be intensely dlsAppolntl.d. no trouble will
occur. Their ability to keep this promise
has not yet been shown
Some OF the radical insirgent command
ers OF minor grade insist that they will
enter Havana with their forces and cele-
brate, but conservative counsels have ,tp
to this time prevailed.
Tho force of 200 insurgents doing police
Ssuty at VelaSihdo under General Hernandez
has been withdrawn because the United
States military authorities could not rec
ognize them except as individuals. A mis-
understanding between Generals Lee and
Ludlow regarding American troops made
the entrance OF the Insurgents to do police
duty necessary.
