CHAPTER IX

Mr.. Sayille's answer has come. II
is not In the least what Barbara ex-
pected. 1t is very short letter, and
out of 1t falls cheque for two hum
dred pounds. And there is nothing
about her engagement at all. except a
casual allusion to the danger of hirta-
tions that can end in nothing. And
Barbara is to come out to Tasmania at
once, by the next steamer that sails
after she receives the letter. The two
hundred pounds is to purchase an out
fit and defray the expenses of the voy-
age.
Mrs. Saville also receives letter,
which is possibly more lengthy, and
may contain more information than
the communication to Barbara, in
which her father only says he is lonely
and wants her to manage his house
hold for him.
Mrs. Saville looks keenly at her
niece as she sees her reading the let
ter, while the color forsakes her face.
And Sebastian watches Barbara, too.
Father wants me to go out to him.
Barbara says, lifting her great. trou-
bled eyes. In her heart she knows
that this command is only to separate
her from George.
Mrs. Saville folds up her own letter.
"Yes. so your father says. He thinks
YOU are old enough now to be at the
head of his house; but we will miss
you, dear And see he expects you
to start at once. He mentions the
steamer that some friends OF his are
going out by. Every thing will be
dreadfully hurried. We must go to
London in a day or so and get your
things"
Barbara sits white and miserable

hensible look, has lounged out oil the

looks at her aunt.
aunt Julia, does father say nothing
about George? You know we are en-
gagged"
Mrs saville smiles rather provok-
ingly.
Il do not think your father has any
objection to your considering yourself
engaged. He hardly mentions the SUD-
ject.

ignoring of her engagement is hard to
bear.

of Her Gracious Majesty.
The full strength OF Great Britaln's
Indian army is 100000 men. OF whom
100000 are native and 10000 British
soldiers. In addition to this military
force, there are about 10000 enrolled
European volunteers. and native po
lice. officered by white men. nearly
100000 strong. Every regiment is di-
vided into ten companies. each OF
which is usually made up of differ
ent nationality-such as Goorkhas.
Dogras, Pathans and Punjaubis. II is
owing to this precaution that a COM
bination of forces for the purposes u
mutiny becomes almost impossible.
The Goorkhas and Sikhs. whose loyal
ty is rated the highest, are. In some
localities. permitted to constitute en-
tire governments by themselves. The
pay of the sepoy, or native soldlo.
is is shillings per month. with grad.
ual increase after three years's good
conduct service. The pension system
is particularly liberal. and is really
the magnet which draws the native re-
cruit. When a sepoy soldier falls in
action. his wives-and there are four
of them-are all pensioned, as well as
their young children. As regards the
artillery branch of the Indian army.
white men only are employed. both
as commissioned officers and in the
ranks. and the guns of all forts are
entirely manned by Britons. OF tho
native soldiers the Goorkha Is the best.

penses, or what might be called gra-
tuitles In some other shape. but this
seems to be considered exceptional.
1t is obvious that no one can say
what a given convention will cost. It
seems to be considered that 100000 is
reasonable minimum, and $4,000 a
reasonable maximum OF cost. and that
anything above or below is pure vel
vet for somebody.

Indeed, 1t will never be known to the
city that entertalns the convention.

feited. They are kept In a safe depos-
1t vault from the time they are deliv-
cred by the engraving company until
the time they are issued. just before
the meeting OF the convention. II is
claimed that convention tickets have
never been counterfeited. As com
piete set OF them may be worth from
SIS to $50. there is obvious reassn for
taking every precaution to keep them
from being eounterfeited.
In all this nothing has been said
about the payment OF money for the
services OF the scores of subordinate
officials and assistants of various
kinds. 1t is well known. OF course.
that the officers of convention re-
ceive no pecunlary compensation.
They serve for the honor and glory OF

made to the sergeant-at-arms and
similar officers for their personal ex-
penses.

very many of their subordinates-the
doorkeepers and messengers and depu-

In the report just published on his
study of malaria In Italy Prof Koch
says the infection of malaria is es-

the relapsing cases which continue all
the year round and form the link be-

that the mosquitoes in the beginning
of the summer always find germs. II
no relapse occurred in any OF the cases
Of malaria in any given district the
mosquitoes would find no germs in the

would become extinct there. The pro-

Indiana Bitum.n0us Miners
Have Adjusted Their Long
Standing Differences.
UNDERWENT A CHANGE
Did the Opinion of the Miners Re-
garding the Much Mooted and
Contested Powder Question.
Independent Powder Company Alb
sOrbed by the Trust and the
Price May Go Up.

Terre Haute, Ind, April IA. = The
bituminous miners in convention yes
terday ratified the scale as agreed up
on between the miners conference
committee and the committee of oper-
ators. The opinion OF the miners now.
it is said, has undergone a change re-
garding the powder question. The
scale last year was signed by the OPP
orators with the understanding that
the miners would pay Sl.15 keg for
powder, which was TO be bought from
a powder factory controlled by the
operators. This year the miners de-
manded permission TO be allowed to
purchase the powder in the open mar
ket, and yesterday when the scale WAS
signed it is said the operators announc-
ed tnat the independent powder COM
pany had been sold out to the trust.
This will mean a decided increase in
the cost of powder and the miners are
fearful that they have made a mistake.
The price to be paid for mining screen
ed lump coal per ton is placed at 50
cents, while run of mine coal will be
paid for at 40 cents per ton of 1000
pounds.
