CHAPTER XIV.

1t struck Lord RIVERS, for the first
time since his marriage, that the beau
tiful wife he had won from the wood
lands OF ST. Byno's did not love him
with quite the same devoted affection
he had Tor her He would have been
content to have remained with her for
ever he asked nothing better than to
live always with her In the weird villa
overlooking the Rhine; he wanted no
other society, no other world-heart,
brain and soul would have been quite
content,
Not SO with her. 1t was with some
thing OF dismay that she found her
husband quite willing to live at the
solitary villa, II was beautiful enough
she did not attempt to deny that;
but to her richly gifted, viyacious ma
turc, to her ardent mind and soul,
there was not sufficient in this wor.
ship Of nature; she wanted more life,
more to amuse her, than the coutem-
plation OF magnificent scenery. Lord
RIVERS was of a contemplative nature,

He was thinking very seriously one
morning as he stood in his favorite

Berlin Nov. 20.--In the reichstae
yesterday, on the occasion of the Dre.
sentation of supplementary credit for
China, Count Won Buelow, the imper.
ial chancellor, emphatically denied the
assertion frequently made abroad that
the China imbroglio was traceable IN
the German occupation of Kaocbou
This statements was greeted by the
social democrats with loud cries Of.
1T is quite true" The chancellor
further declared he did not wish al
present to say anything which might
be prejudicial to the common objects
of the powers in China, but felt the
need of placing himself in touch with
the nation. Germany, he explained
adhered to the aims and policy out.
lined in the circular to the allied gov.
ernments. The allegation that the
government had not foreseen the Chi.
nese CRISIS was true. But most Of
the other nations had likewise failed
to anticipate that storm in the far
east.
Continuing he declared; THAT his
majesty of Russia should put the su.
preme command in our hands is fresh
proof that between a well conducted
German policy and a well conducted
Russian policy there can be no deep,
certainly no invincible, antagonism.
BY dispatching troops TO China, We
have in no way impaired our readiness
to do battle in Europe. We declare We
are on guard. In undertaking the
charge of the interests of other ma
tons we have no desire to play the
role of providence on earth. The
Hohenzellerns will not tread in the
path of the Bonapartes Never will non.
German tendencies be followed by a
house whose great son has declared
that a prince is first servant of the
state. In the Spanish-American and
south African wars we pursued a pol
icy of honorable neutrality because it
was best for Germany"

lie was, if possible, more in love
with her than when he first met her
in the woods Of st. Bynos She had
wonderful charm for him. The ladies
of his family had always affected to
be. if they were not actually, delicate
and fragile; they considered health
and strength rather as vulgar attri-
butes. Violet, on the contrary re-
joiced in superb health, in a magnitl-
cent constitution; she did not even
know what the words "languOr' and
fatigue" meant as applied to herself,
and consequently she had capacity
for enjoyment that seemed marvellous
to him When they were in Switzer-
land she could climb the highest
mountains as well as he could, she
could walk as far. she could endure as
much fatigue,-yet she was refined,
and as far from being masculine or
strong minded as it was possible to be.
There was no fairer picture than that
of this beautiful girl,-health glowing
in her face, her eyes sparkling, her
lips crimson. 1t was the possession
of such perfect health, or unflagging
gayety and high spirit, that had such
wonderful attraction for Lord
RIVERS
They had spent the whole Of the year
in travelling; they had been through
Italy and Switzerland. Now fancy
had taken Lord Ryyers-he must 80 TO
the Rhino-not in the beaten tracks
where British tourists abound-no, he
would seek some pretty sequestered
spot where river and mountain were
at their best. He would stay there for
some months, have mis- beautiful Violet
all to himself for that time and then
arrange for the future.
He felt that he should not be afraid
of his mother meeting his wife, now
that this year Of travel and study had
refined and perfected her. He would
be proud when the hour came for even
Lady RIVERS to see her. It was true
that Violet was different from most Of
the ladies who were his mothers
friends and associates, but she had a
characteristic beauty and grace and
individuality Of her own.
Lord RIVERS found that of which he
was in quest in the pretty little town
Of Saltzberg, on the Rhine, perhaps
one of the most picturesque ON that
beautiful river 1t stands where the
river Is widest, and where the great
crags rise highest to the sky; every
beauty of land and water, OF hill and

A little tributary called the Saltz

the scene whore the two currents meet

to he hanged on February for the muir

thread whereby his counsel had hoped to
save him from the gallows had been
broken.
Only one chance, and that a very slim
one. remains for Clifford. On the last day
he was sent ltenced Lawyer Warren Dixon
made an application to Justice Lfppineott
for a writ of certiorari to have the SUI
preme Court review the refusal of the
Oyer and Terminer Court to permit a jury
to pass upon Cliffords present mental

for argument last Tuesday, but on ac-
count of the death of ex-Attorney Cen

When it is argued, if Justice Lippincott
grants the writ. the execution of course
will be postponed. The same result will
be accomplished by Justice Lippincott's 8
refusal of the writ, as an appeal will be
taken, and that will act as a stay of
