thronged the roads and regarded with i'll
concealed disfavor the dashing equipage
of royalist. Everywhere were signs Of
the abandonment, in large measure, of
the peaceful occupations of the season.
Desire saw and heard nothing going on
around her. She still clasped Gilbert 8
hand and felt his arm about her as they
babe each other farewell. He thought it
was but for the day, and there was no
deep sadness on his handsome face-only
regret that for few hours he must fore
go the sight and presence of his beloved
one. But to her more sensitive conscious
ness had come at the last moment a
strange, terrifying presentiment that their
parting meant much more than this. She
had then given no voice to this dread fear;
now it overmastered her. She shrank into
the farthest corner of the coach, and was
so silent that at length Mistress Salome
reached over and took the small, cold fin
gers in her warm palm.
"Grieve not so sorely, sweetheart. Sun
set tonight will bring you to his side
again." she murmured.
81 know not, dear aunt, whether your
words will happen true or not" was her
low reply. 'My heart misgives me that

''Nay, now, my love. Shake off these

YOU"
Thus urged, and with good reason, De
sire tried bravely to hide her soreness of
heart, and the time passed somehow until
the fields of her fathers farm came in
view. Soon after this, the steaming
horses were pulled up with a flourish at
the door of her home

Owing to circumstances which he had
been far from foresecing, Archibald Nc
Theadris had been unable to keep his
tryst with Delight Leland on the night of
April 10. At the moment of starting for
Boston he had been detained at headquar-
tiers and afterward ordered to join the
re-enforcements under Lord Percy, who
went to the succor of the hapless company
sent to capture the stores at Concord.
Later he had been detailed to special duty,
and some time passed before he had op-
portunity to send any message to his inn
patient sweetheart.
Those were not happy days for Delight
Her training from babyhood had been
that of God-fearing, Puritan home Her
conscience, thus tenderly instructed, con-
tinually upbraided her for the duplicity of
her conduct. She did not dare to openly
break off with David Townsend. lest sus-
picion be awakened and her father take
forcible means to curtail her personal lib
erty. She knew well that he was capable
of resorting to extreme measures in the
maintenance of the right. Her own in
heritance of his strong viii and inf1exible
determination kept her true to purpose
which many girls would have abandoned
as hopeless from the outset.
Her visit during the winter to ''the
camp of the Philistines," as Aunt Rachel
always called the household of Francis
Leland, giving her chance for a continu-
ance of her acquaintance with Archibald
McPheadris, had resulted in a perversion
of her usually clear judgment. Seeing ev-
erything from that time on through the
eyes of her infatuation for his handsome
self, she felt. no longer bound by duty to
her country, her parents or the manly
young lover to whom she was promised.
1T would be sin to marry Dave when
do not love him Archie says so" she
whispered to her accusing inner self.
Then tell him frankly that you cannot
be his wife," came in prompt answer.
But with all her daring she had not the
moral courage to do this, and so she con-
tinued to allow Dawes visits, perplexing
him and irritating herself By wayward-
ness and perversity never before exhibit

Apusoasdo the Man.

In his features, face and skull Aguin-
aldo looks more like a European than
a Malay. Thus says Review of Re-
views. He is what would be called a
handsome man, and might be compar-
ed with many young men in the prov
ince Of Andalusia, Spain. II there be
truth in phrenology he is man above
the common The zone of the skull,
which indicates mentality, is we'll de-
yeloped for a -abnormally
large for a Malay. The moral zone Is
of medium development, and the anil
NAL or cerebellar zone is comparatively
small, with the exception of the reach
over the ears, Indicating destructive
ness and cruelty.
The phrenologist would be borne out
by the consensus of those who know
him. Friends and enemies agree that
he is intelligent, ambitious, far-slghted,
brave, self-controlled, honest, moral,
vindictive, and at times cruel. He pos
sesses the quality which friends call
wisdom and enemies call craft. Ac-
cording to those who like him he is
courteous, polished, thoughtful, and
dignified; according to those who dis
like him he is inslncere, pretentious,
vain and arrogant. Both admit him to
be genial, generous, self-sacrifcing,
popular, and capable in the administra-
ton of affairs. If the opinion of his
foes be accepted he is one of the great
est Malays on the page of history. Ii
the opinion of his friends be taken as
the criterion he is one of the great men
Of history irrespective of race.

beside Cato, who cracked his whip and
started off his prancing steeds. The young
