A MINISTE RING ANGEL.

either mentally, morally, or physically
satisfactory as man or peer.
From the first moment, therefore,
that Leicester had come home from a
certain walking tour in Ireland (under
taken few months before his major
ity) with glowing accounts of Lady
O'Neill, the lovely young "chatelaine"
OF Kildaragh, Lady Mary, aided by Saw
ernake, had done what she could to
encourage and promote the match.
Annes guardian, Sir James Clancar-
den, was known to them both, as the
girls dead father had been. Already
she was noted for her beauty Though
she had only been presented in the
spring., her family was of the best
and oldest in Ireland therefore in the
world, and young as she was, those
who knew her spoke of her remarkable
frmness of character. Had she lived
in old and troublous days, her admir-
ers said laughingly, yet with truth, she
would have been a heroine, or perhaps
martyr, whose name would have
lived in history among the greatest
and nobleat women of her time. For
tunately for her, she had been born
in the peaceful decline of the nine
teenth century. Fortunately for the
Duke of Leicester, also, since she was
now of the right age to be made his
wife. Her strength would sustain his
weakness, Savernake and Lady Blan-
don told each other, her beauty and
youthful tact would render her an ideal
! Duchess, though her husband could
never, even by her aid, be rendered the
ideal Duke.
Anne, with Sir James and Lady Clan
Garden, had been purposely asked to
Lurlworah Towers, for a longer period
than any of the other guests invited,
to help celebrate the Dukes coming of
age; and now the two match-makers
were delighted with the result of their
planning.
hey did not know what Randall Pal
grave thought he knew-tihat there was
gold to be had on the Kildaragh estate,
if only the money could be found for
making use of the knowledge; but they
were overjoyed to accept Anne without
a penny, and would gladly have hasten
ed the wedding. 1t had always been
their desire that the Duke should marry
young, if he could be brought to choose
according to their wishes, and could
they have had their way, wedding
would quickly have followed the an
nouncement Of the engagement.
Leicester himself was also naturally
impatient, for he was very much in
love. and it seemed to his jealous i'm
aginiation that all other men in the
world would now be banded together TO
win his peerless fancee from him, If he
did not at once secure her irrevocably
as his own.
But Sir James Clancarden. pleased as
he was at the satisfactory match his
ward was making, would not hear of a

speedy marriage Anne had blossom
ed earlier into womanhood than most
girls, possibly because of her keen in
tellect, which was far beyond her
years. Still, she was only just eigh-
teen, having passed her birthday but
a fortnight before the Duke attained
his majority, and it seemed to her
guardian and his wife that it would be
soon enough if the wedding were cele-
brated in the following autumn.
Lord Wicklow, Anne's father, had
once signified his wish that his daugh-
ter should not marry until she was
nineteen at the earliest, and--despite
the girls willingness to sacrifice her
self for those whom she called her
people," the obligation of that wish
gave her an excuse for which in sec-'
ret, she was profoundly thankful.

smilingly said--to changes meanwhile.
The Duke told Blandon Palgrave (who,
though it was nearly year in advance,
was promptly invited to be best man
on the auspicious occasion,) and Blan-
don lost no time in repeating the in
telligence to his father.
Randall Palgrave became thoughtful.

SYNOPSIS of Preceding Chapters
Lord Wareham had been brought nome
from the hunting field with his neck
married less than a year-had met the
doleful procession as it entered the
house. The consequence was. that she
also lay in peril of her life, while another
life, still more precious to the family
fortune and future, was trembling in the
balance. The verdict of the doctor was
that there was little hope for, either
gloomy prediction be fulfilled the man
whom Lady Mary Blandon-the spinster
sister of the Duke of Leicester-despised
above all men, would soon come into the
title and estates. She and Mr. Saver
make, who acted as a sort of conf1dentlaI
clerk to the Duke, concoct scheme to
Illustrate this. A certain document Whch
Savernake extracted from the pockets OF
Lord Wareham, revealed that a woman,
who claims to be his wife, has come TO
live in the neighborhood to ascertain
whether the reports of his second mar
rIage are true, and acquainting him al
the birth of twins-two boys. Whilst
this story is discredited by. Savernake
and Lady Mary. they conspire together
difficulty which lies before them. This
is nothing less than the exchange of the
young Lord Wareham the moment he
should die for one Of the infants Of TINS MS
strange woman. This is accomplished by
Savernake, the woman conserving with
various stipulations. To the amazement
of all, and especially of the doctor,
whom Lady Mary ingeniously got out of
the way, little Lord Wareham got better
in remarkably short time. We are next
introduced to Randall Palgrave, at the
coming eff age of the Duke, when
grand ball is given at Lurlworth Towers.
His mind is full of bitter thoughts as he
PAGES the picture gallery, and inwardly
comments upon how near he had come
to the dukedom. Maurice, the Duke, be-
comes acquainted at college with young
Blandon, and Randall has a good reason
for encouraging the friendship; Blandon
belonged to a rapid. card-playing. hard
much older than he, and through his
and his fathers influence the Duke had
been drawn into it as we'll With such
feeble constitution as Leicesters, no
way of life could have been more in

OF old age, the responsibilities and anxieties of
the Prime Minister have become wellnigh in
toerabe during the last year and he now has
an opportunity for retiring from the Foreign
Office and for relinquishing the direction of the
Government when his fame as a statesman is
secure. when the Empire is al peace. and when
his party is united and we'll intrenched in the
stronghoids Of political power. The club COS
sips make out unanswerabIe case in favor Of
the Prime Minister'S retirement, but they leave
out Of account his own sense Of public duty and
moral obligation. His own reserves Of popularity
and prestige he may consider entirely at the
command of the Queen and Of the Empire. and

This is the gentleman whom a great
party is to choose as its standard bearer, q
gentleman who openly announces that IL
he were President of the United States,
charged with the protection of the nations

ments of Europe that the United States in
tended opening its minis to silver: that, in
his opinion, the parity would be MAIN
tanned, but would threaten them, If they
did not join US. and the experiment failed,
we would pay our obligations to them in de-
precfated money. This is a new doctrine.
Mr.. President that of bimetallism by
blackmail. 1t is not surprising in the light
OF this statement that investors insist on a
gold bond, and one can readily understand
why Mr.. Bryan occupies the most unique
and remarkable position of any man in our
whole political history. 1t is but a few
months before the national democratic con-
vention. and his nomination is eagerly de-
sired by both the great political parties.

and he wants himself
Whoever says that International bimet-
allism is dead has not familiarized himself
with the facts
In conclusion he said:
TT is my sincere conviction that in our
day. and, I believe. soon genuine and
united effort will be sought by the leading
commercial nations to restore the bimetallic
system. The amendment before the Sem
ate informs the world that we stand ready
to cooperate. If it is accomplished it can
only be through the aid in this country OF
the party which mas ever stood for the
maintenance of the national honor and the
national credit, and when 1t comes it Will
