cept for aldermen in the first and Sec
ond wards. A number of friends of
alderman L. M. Davis, in the first ward,
are go well pleased with the services he
has rendered the city during his term

to succeed himself in the office and
have filed petition with the city clerk
naming him IS an Independent candi.
date. ~
In the first ward the residents of
North Manchester have filed petition
naming W. H. Cornell as an independ-
ent candidate for alderman. They
make no personal objection to Mr. Miles,
the nominee of the union caucus, and
concede that he would make an excel
lent official, but claim that North Man
chester is entitled to representation on
the council, and have selected Mr.. Con.
nell because of his well known quail
fications for the office, and his being a
resident of that part of the city.
All the nominees are good men so
that whatever may be the result of the
election, good officers are assured to
manage the affairs of this municipality.

Roger answered, grimly:
THE renegade Donnereau was right.

Have 1 not men enough mere to take

Sir Roger quivered: Gabriel listened

smiled pleasantly. yield up this

Dixey bowed most eloquently.
But | know the value of Sir Rogers

stakes. am not afraid. Kill me, and
you kill your SON."
Sir Roger paused and eyed the rover
thoughtfully, and faint smile played
on his lips.
You are a bold scoundrel." he said
at last. But you judge right. What
is all that trash to me, who hunger now
but to be buried in my native land? I

my boy
Lynch leaped at once into joyous ac-
tivity. His last card took the trick. He
pressed on the old mans heels, and be-
hind him hung Gabriel and his three
men left from the fight. The savages
gathered curiously, and so intent were
they all on Sir Rogers steps that none
noticed the growing blackness, the in
creased mptterings of thunder, the agi-
tation of the waves of the lake.
With no more words the old man led

Old Gabriel paused one second to an
athematize OZiel for meddling again,
but did it under his breath, and started
again on pouring out a volume of dep
recatOry explanations.
Few would he innocent" he began,
with an uplifting of the eyes, IF it be
enough to accuse. Far from my breth-
rem in our most heaven blessed British
Israel, and extraordinarily circum-
stanced as ! now am, am aware that
the ill-considered words of a hasty
and inexperienced youth might bear
He stopped suddenly. with cry: his
cheeks blanehed, and he caught at Sir
Roger for support. The old man. too,
was disturbed, and the saYages rose in
a panic. for the point of land trembled
beneath them. and the lake was trou-
bled into swelling waves, and thunder
broke above them.
''Wha-what is it?" cried Gabriel.
The shaking of the ground passed,
and all was still, but Gabriel found a
difficulty in proceeding. Before, how
ever, he had time to collect his wits. a
white rag waved from the gloomy
thickets, and a loud voice from the
jungle cried TO them:
Sir Roger, l beg a truce. Thy mem
DRY, so magically revived. will remind
you that l, who knew you in the east
ern seas when fighting was frequent
among brave men. can trust to your
honoring a white flag"
What would you, DfXey Lynch?"
cried Sir Roger. Brave or not, thou
art pr .fical mutineer, as ! mind thee
and desrrYe no favor. Yet, if you bring
tidings of my son Justin, your flag shall
be respected"
Dixey Lynch at that stepped out of
the wood.
In spite of the great and oppressive
heat, in spite of the humiliation of de-
feat, in spite of the fact that he must
have known that Sir Roger, with re-
vived memory. looked upon him with
contempt and was aware, doubtless, of
his purpose in being in these ATTITUDES,
Master Dixey Lynch was as self-pos-
sessed now as on board his own sloop,
as gracefully confident as when Undue
ing Marian Hallowell to let her cousin
go a-sailing, as callous to shame as
when he denied to Oziel's face that he
had tipped him overheard.
The negroes at the back OF Sir Roger
shook their spears at him, but Dixey
advanced on them with an amused
smile. Old Gabriel drew his little form
up and looked on the rover with a
glance of haughtiest righteousness and
disdain, but DiXey nodded to him as if
on Boston wharves.
"Ah, fried Gabriel, it's very warm"
said he, and, within twenty PAGES of
Sir Roger and twentw of the forest, he
halted and made the dignified bow of
an honorable ambassador. Sir Roger
said nothing. but .glowered on him.
Sir Roger" said Dixey, ""as between
gentlemen of honor
Sir" the old man cried, glaTing.
There need be no time lost in USE
less discussion of the past
THE subject is my son." Sir Roger
interrupted, impatiently is he alive?
What have you done with him when
you fled from the temple?"
He is alive" said Dixey, promptly,
and the old man sighed with relief
I'm faith. Sir Roger" the rogue con-
tinued, IF l had had word you were
like ever to recover from your crack
on the head in the wreck, 1 would not
have listened to Donnereau's scheme
to circumvent your black friends and
