CHAPTER VIII.
'sThey Want to Murder Me-"

Kitty did not know how long she had been
lying ill when one afternoon she opened her
eyes and saw Denhaen sitting by her.
She felt too weak to speak, and she had
never cared for Denham, she shut her
eyes again and lay still; but Denham was
quick to see the change
You're feeling better, ma'an?" she said
softly approaching the bed
ST feel very weak Kitty said. languidly.
Denham raised her gently and gave her
some nourishment.
you'll do nicely now she said, with one
of her grim smiles. "Mr. Barry fetched the
doctor, and his medicine has done you good .
Where is Mr.. Barry-and Miss Denver?''
asked Kitty.
''Oh, they're outsde--they've gone for a
walk" returned Denham.
Feverish jealousy again came upon poor
Kitty.
ST suppose they go fol walks every day?'
she said, with petulant weakness.
"Oh yes. But I'll fetch Mr.. Barry
mo, don't I don't want him.
But before more could be said, Jacks
voice was heard gently calling "Denham!"
Denham went quickly towards him, and a
whispered conversation took place
She soon came back, looking little con-
fused, and Kitty felt certain she saw her
slip little bottle into her pocket.
"Why didn't Mr.. Barry come in and speak
to me?" asked Kitty, sharply. did you tell
him Twas better?"

and see you when he comes back. You see.
ma'am,' she went on, glibly; "the country

he'd better get Miss Denver off home. They
Just waited to know you were all right. and
Mr.. Barry will come back soon.''
Denham's manner was so confused. and
her tale was such lame one that Kitty
felt convinced the woman was lying.
A horrible DOUBT crossed her mind.

CHAPTER TX.
: Louie Brown.

When Kitty opened her eyes on returning
to consciousness she found herself lying in
a well-furnished bedroom on pretty white
bed. Near her sat uninterrupted nurse
and everything around betokened comfort
and care.
For moment Kitty thought all that had
happened in India must be a wild invention
OF her brain, and that she had been i'll and
must be lying in her own room in London
Soon, however, her languid senses took in
the fact that she must be still in India There
were no punkahs in English houses, she
thought idly; and then the door opened. and
a lady entered, followed by tall, fair-haired
girl.
Kitty took very little notice of the elder
woman, but the girls face attracted her
strangely. 1t was sorrowful subdued face
although very lovely one: but there was
a pathetic look in her eyes that Kitty did
not quite understand
well, my dear said the elder lady, com
ing up to the bed and speaking very kindly
I see you are coming to yourself
Where am -" Kitty asked, finding her
voice And who are you?"
Il am Mrs. Brown, and this is my daughter
Louie, said the lady, answering the last
question first; "and you are in my house in
Bombay"
Bombay" echoed Kitty, puzzled How
did [ get here?"
''Never mind that now" returned the Iadv
gently. You have been very ill., you know
and you must not talk much now Lie still
and rest. I will come tomorrow and tell you
everything huOW ABOUT yOu-dnQ you will
tell me all about yourself, won't you?'
Eyes, indeed" said Kitty gratefully. .'You
have been very kind to me-
Nov, nurse, we leave this young lady in
your hands, said Mrs. Brown, cheerfully.
Mind you look after her well. Come Louie!''
But the tall girl had leaned over to kiss
Kitty, saying aloud Good bye till tomor-
row." and in a soft quick whisper Kitty
heard her add hurriedly. Tell her nothing
about yourself!'
The next instant she had followed her
mother from the room, leaving Kitty in a
state Of great bewilderment.
Both Mrs. Brown and her daughter strange
lily impressed Kitty.
What did Miss Brown mean by her eau
ton? Was she mad? Why should not She
Kitty tell her hostess who she was? How
else was she to be restored to her friends?
She was too weak to wonder much, how
ever, and soon dropped asleep.
The next day Mrs Brown and Louie paid
her another visit, and found her much
stronger and better.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-02-05

Was Jack going to leave her alone in this
strange wild place with this dreadful woman
his accomplice, no doubt. Was he riding
away with his cousin into safety and desert
ing her?
That he was going was certain enough.
for she had heard the sound of the two
horses feet and Jacks voice, apparently
speaking to Caroline.
She did not hear Carolines reply, but she
heard something else, that caused her to start
up and say, angrily- I
She's got my horse-rny Gipsy!''9 (
well, never mind, ma am Denham said
soothingly. Lie down and try to sleep.
Mr.. Barry will be back soon He hopes to gel
a carriage that you will be able to travel in. ,
Kitty made no reply. She was in a state
|of angry terror. What did they mean to do:
Presently Denham rose
Its time fer your medicine" she said
Kitty watched, with eyes sharpened by
fear, and saw the woman adroitly slip the
little bottle out of her pocket, and pour
something from it into the medicine glass.
It's poison thought poor Kitty. "They
want to murder me-
Denham brought her the glass, and Kitty
took it with a trembling hand. Half turning
away. she pretended to swallow it, but in
stead, poured it into the bed, and gave back
the empty glass to Denham.
Then she lay down and soon pretended tt
sleep. AS soon as her breathing became reg.
ular, Denham slipped away. When she had
gone, poor Kitty sat up, quaKing in every
limb.
Il must Hee, she muttered, eat once They
have left me one horse, at least Where are
my clothes?'
She looked about, and in the strength borr
OF desperate fear, managed to dress herself
somehow in some thing, and left the house.
The DUSK was beginning to fall, and Kitty
made her way through the compound with.
out seeing anyone.
She knew where the horses were, but be-
fore reaching them she must pass through &
plantation enclosing small open space Of
grass. 81
AS she emerged from the shade of the tree:
Kitty suddenly staggered and caught hold Of
the nearest trunk for support.
There in the dusk were two natives, with
Mrs. Denham experimenting them busly
engaged in digging a grave!
In flash the thought came to Kitty that
whether by Jacks instigation, or perhaps
only out of a wish to serve him, the woman
Denham had meant to poison her. and the
grave was for her!
BE as quick as you can," said Mrs Den
ham, impatiently 1.-The young lady
Just then she looked up and caught sigh
|of Kitty, and started back with an asher
lace: kltty's was equally white as she looked
at the woman, whom she believed was he1
murderess in thought, if not in deed.
Which was the first to move probably
neither of them ever knew; but, with a shril
cry of fear, rage and horror, Kitty had raced
madIy by the ghOStly hole, and was heens
as if for dear life towards the place where
she could see a tethered horse
How she loosed him and mounted him with
Mrs. Denham and the men in hot pursuit
she only remembered afterwards dimIy as
in dream; but the next instant she had
left them behind her, and was riding rnadIy
down the Rangipoor road, clinging tenacious
ly to the horses name, and only conscious
that If she loosed he1 hold it meant DEATH

"A HARD PRoBLEn INDEED.
Deccncy and Order Must be Observ-
ed in any Event.

The Secretary Of the Interior is
reported as saying few days ago,
"They, (the Dawes Commission)
have difficult task. The laying
out of townsites in the territory is
one OF the most difficult problems
with which the commission has to
deal, and is causing them the most
worry"
Yes, we should think so. But
why is it difficult? The cause of
difficulty is plain to be seen. To
rob these poor Cherokee people Of
large scopes of their valuable land
to be used in building towns for
the qualification of the more pow
erful and better to do people, is
unjust, and a great moral wrong.
But to do wrong is disgraceful; the
Dawes Commission does not like
to be stained with disgrace. Hence
this great townsite outrage, (it has
got to be carried out) has to be
made to wear the appearance OF a
Just and honorable thing; it has to
be go shaped as not only to stand
forth IN measurable good credit be-
fore the honest portion OF the
present generation, but to go down
in history 20 future generations
rejecting glory upon all who had
hand in the preparation. To
accomplish an end like that is, IN
deed, a difficult job. 1t is a hare

PATHETIC STORY.
Sad Romance of Rough Rider and
the Indian Maiden That he
Loved.

One of the saddest romances
that has recently come 10 light in
the Indian Territory, says the
Wagner correspondent of the
Globe Democrat, was terminated
by the death last week OF Miss
Artie Sedwick at her home near
the little town of Pryor Greek,
twenty miles north of this place.
This romance began with the en-
listment of the Indian Territory
contingent Of Colonel Roosevelt's
rough riders, who went to Cuba
under the brave though luckless
Captain Capron. who fell in the
first land battle fought with the
Spaniards.
When Troop L of the famous
rough riders was organized at Mus
kogee, a little over year ago, it
was with Dan Seabright as one OF
the number. Seabright was a
dashing, popular cowboy, possess
ed of the peculiar fearlessness that
characterized Colonel Roosevelt's
brave regiment and won glory tor
him and themselves at the battle
of Las Quasimas and at the charge
up San Juan Hill. Seabright, at
the time of his enlistment, was
engaged to marry Miss Sedwick
upon his return from Cuba, but
owing to misunderstanding after
he left for that island he failed to
return to his old haunts in tho
territory when the rough riders
were mustered out of service. 1t
appears that cousin of Miss Sed-
wick was also member of the
rough riders and while in Cuba
this cousin was apprised OF the
marriage of territory cousin to a
certain cattleman. Seabright,
misunderstanding the information,
thereafter labored under the i'm
preston that this was the girl he
had promised to return and wed.
With this belief in his mind, he,
instead of returning to the terri
| tory according TO promise, went
down oTexas after being mus
tered out and never discovered
his mistake until it was too late
too make amends.
Last week the territory rough
riders held their first rex.non at
Pryor Creek and SeabTght was in
asteadance. Thery &c learned the
truth. The girlhe was to have
Ireturned to and welded was yet
Unmarried, but alasl dying of con-
i sumption at her home, ten miles
away. Her death had been daily
| expected for weeks. With genu-
inc sorrow and pity depicted on
his face, young Seabright and a
companion started Immediately
for the home of the dying girl. An
hour or SO later they were met at
the door of the farm house by an
old lady with tear-stained eyes,
who bade them enter.
"She said tell you she waited as
long as she COULD" said the weep.
ing woman, as she lifted a white
sheet and disclosed a cold white
face. The girl had died but a few
hours before Seabright reached
her.
