had strange kind Of foreboding about
her.
Il wonder" she said to Sir Raoul.
III some people do bring misfortune
with them. have an idea that Lady
Hamilton will bring evil to me-"
Sir Raoul laughed, and told her in
his simple chivalrous fashion that a
beautiful woman could bring only sun
shine and happiness; but the young
countess sighed.
Helen OF Troy did not bring much
sunshine" she said, "and she was
beautiful enough"
But" objected Sir Raoul, there is
difference; Lady Hamilton has not
her fatal loyeliness. Times have al
tered; no woman's face, / think, will
ever cause another thirty years war"
The young countess resolved upon
being armed at all points. Her maid
felt that at length her mistress was
doing justice to herself. She was that
evening very difficult to please-no
dress was pretty enough; she chose one
at length of purple velvet, long, grace
full, and made after picturesque fash
ion that Hildred particularly affected
cut square so as to show the beautiful
neck and shoulders. with wide hang
ing sleeves, fastened with a diamond
knot on the shoulder dress that was
the triumph of good taste; no ribbon,
no flowers, no ornaments nor trim
mings marred it's grand simplicity. She
wore nothing but diamonds with it.
small tiara that crowned the queenly
head. necklace round the white
throat, small cross on the white
breast, and bracelet on one Of her
beautifully nodded arms. Nothing
could have been more magnificent, in
better or simpler taste.
Sir Raoul looked delighted when he
saw her. Lady Hamilton may be very
fair" he thought, shut she will not
look like Hildred."
The earl did not notice either her
face or her less; he admired her skill,
her genius, but he was certainly not in
love with his young wife.
1t was with some little curiosity that
the young countess went to meet her
guest. Lady Hamilton had been shown
into pretty little boudoir, where she
awaited her hostess; and these two
women Who were SO strangely to cross
each others lives looked almost eager
ly at each other.
Lady Caraven saw before her a tall,
graceful, lovely blonde, whose sunny
eyes and golden hair were bright and
beautiful, whose red lips smiling show
ed teeth like pearls. After returning
in the most musical of voices the greet
ings Of her hostess, she requested that
she might be shown to her room.
She was in some measure just what
Lady Caraven had expected to see. She
appeared Ia the drawing-room two
minutes before the announcement of
dinner was made, and then Hildred ex-
amined her more critically. Her en-
trance made sensation amongst the
gentlemen. Hildred stood watching
the scene, watching the pretty maneu-
vers of the royalty beautiful coquette,
and how soon they took effect.
Hildred sighed as she turned away
This was he kind Of beauty that her
husband loved-blonde, tall and grace
full.

THEY WORKED TOGETHER.
this so tiresome before, or what gives
me SO much pleasure to do ii now"
No one was more gratified than Sir
Raoul. He exulted in the fact that his
predictions were fulfilled.
II always thought good woman's
influence boundless," he said; "and
now / am sure of it,"
But he was not misled; he saw ex-
actly how things were-that the earl
had started with the conviction that
his wife was an uniformed school girl,
and that, though believing her now to
tanned much of his early impression.
Lord Caraven had accepted the fact
that he did not love her with lovers
love, and that their marriage was a
fatal mistake into which his own folly
had led him-and he had not changed
his opinion; he absolutely never
thought of love with reference to her.
mon interest-that was all.
But with Hildred it was not quite
the same thing. She had once loved
him; and now, as his better nature APP
peared, she began to care for him
again. Not that she ever betrayed
such feeling to him. She was kind,
affectionate, patient; she devoted her.
dicating warmer feeling than friend
ship ever escaped her lips. She did not
even own to herself or know that she
was beginning to love him.
One day, after luncheon, when some
visitors were staying with them, the
conversation turned on certain Lady
Hamilton, who had just returned, a
widow, from India.
Lady Hamilton was one of your
early loves. Uric, was she not?" said
Sir Raoul. laughingly.
81 suppose So" replied the earl,
carelessly. II had great many early
loves, IL one may believe all the stories
told. Do you know what my opinion
is?"
NO." answered Sir Raoul, Il do
not"
II do not believe that have ever
loved at all--that is using the word
love in it's best and highest sense
"Then it is for wanr of appreciation
said Sir Racul, curtly.
Neither of them knew that Hildred
had overheard the few chance words,
but they had pierced her heart as with
a two-edged sword.
A kind of jealousy that she could not
understand took possession OF her. If,
on looking at pictures or photographs,
Lord Caraven praised one or thought
is pretty, she would examine it in de-
tail to find out II possible what he adj
mired in, 1t. If, in speaking Of any
lady friend or visitor, the earl express
ed his admiration of her, a vague I'M
rest would come over his wife: she

One morning letter came to Raw
ensmere. 1t was from Lady Hamilton,
to say that she was returning from
Cowes, where she had been staying
some time, and would be glad to pay
her promised visit.
Lord Caraven's first sensation on
reading the coquettish little note was
not one of unmitigated pleasure. They
had been spending very happy week
alone, the earl, the countess and Sir
Raoul-a week that he had thoroughly
enjoyed because the greater part of It
had been spent in the open air with his
wife and Sir Raoul. They had been
watching the builders progress, watch
ing the improvements; and the earl
was more pleased than he would have
cared to say at seeing once more a
smile on the faces around him. He
did not feel quite sure at first that he
cared for the coming interruption. He
gave the letter to Lady Caraven.
If she comes" he said, lit is pref
ty certain we must invite a party to
meet her."
AhC yOuu5 CUunlcSS looked up.
I'VE are party" she told him we
are three"
Lord Caraven laughed.
Three is a very small number, Hill
dred. What would Lady Hamilton say
If she came here and found mat we had
not invited any one to meet her? Raoul
and | would be exhausted by the
amount Of homage we should have to
pay. Lady Hamilton is the very queen
of coquettes."
II do not like coquettes," said Lady
Caraven, CURLY.
1T would be wonderful If you did,
laughed her husband. "Dark-eyed and
dark-haired women like you, Hiidred,
are generally severe; golden half and
blue eyes take naturally to Irritation.

to us-to write and say that we shall

pie to invite while she is here. We
must have some eligible men,"

They had seen nothing of John
Blantyre since his abrupt dismissal.
The earl had been told that he had
left Mere Cottage, but that he was liv-
ing at Court Raven. That piece of in
telligence did not trouble him. the un-
Just steward was part and parcel Of the
pasta past he was beginning to think
Of with regret. Nevertheless, John
Blantyre lived only for his revenge.
Autumn came with its golden wheat,
its ripe fruit, its gorgeous beauty of
coloring. The spirit of improvement
was at work at Ravensmere; al
ready the obnoxious cottages had
disappeared, and in their places
clean, healthy, well-drained dwelling
houses were springing up. Lady Cara
ven worked hard, allowing herself lit
tie rest. and the earl was filled with
wonder at her systematic method.
They worked together. She made
their duties SO pleasant to him that he
would not for the world have renounc-
ed them. Husband and wife became,
as the earl said. good companions, good
friends. They had many interests now
In common-the Improvement of the
estate, the building of model cottages,
the education of the young. the relief
of the aged and distressed. With a
thoughtful look in his blue eyes the
earl would sometimes say to his wife:

LAWYERS HAVE SPELLS ON WEE
TECHNICALITIES.
Answer Attorney Andrews This Morn
ing to Plea in Abatement-Horse
Stealer Gets Three Months.

The Gill case came up in the Circuit
Court this morning for argument on
the demurrer to the plea in abatement.
Mr.. Andrews completed his argument
for the Territory, whereupon ADJOURN
ment was taken to 80 p. m. when Mr..
Hankey, attorney for Mr. Gill took the
floor in behalf of the plea.
The first point made in the plea was
that the High Sheriff had no authority
to draw the grand jury, or at least to
draw 1t at Will, without the supervision
or check of the court.
The reply in substance was that the
Organic Act conferred such authority.
1t was intimated by counsel that the
High Sheriff could not possibly have
experienced any specific prejudice in
choosing this jury, inasmuch as Gill
shot Stevens after the jury had been
drawn.
The second point made in the plea
was that the Jurors were to be drawn
from the circuit, which is co-extensive
with the Island of Oahu when, as d
matter of fact, all were drawn from the
city of Honolulu.
The answer was that it was discre.
tionary, under the law as to whom
should be drawn. No limits as to re-
sidence were fixed. If the limits were
supposed to be the Representative dis
tricts, then jurors had been drawn from
both.
The next point in the plea was that
the court had arbitrarily reduced the
number of jurors to twelve, thus eli
minating the possibility of hearing
by a full body.
The answer was that the court has
the right and power to make the grand
jury any number between twenty three
and twelve, which seems to be accept
ed law.
Following the argument of Mr.. An
drews adjournment was taken to
o'clock. The case of Okata, assault
with dangerous weapon, which has
similar features to that of the Gill
matter, will be taken up next. The at
torney for defendant in this matter
Mr.. De Bolt, is therefore watching the
argument of today with especial in
terest.

:. LRE MANQNK HORSEBACK

NEW YORK, February ia spe-
cial to the Times from Washington
says. 1t is learned that General Wey-
Ter has not only proclaimed martial law
in Madrid, but has posted his troops in
such manner as to command every
part of the city. The downfall of the
Ministry is said to be certain, and that
OF the Government possible. The reason
given by Weyler for his action is the
inability of the civil government of the
Province of Madrid to maintain order.
Nevertheless there is a suspicion that
this proceeding may be a coup d'etat
of General Weyler, That officer has
for the last two years been acting eX-
actly like General who was preparing
for the role of THE man on horseback"
He has been making speeches and CIV
ing out statements, the effect of which
tend to show that he was the only man
who could bring Spain through her
troubles. He is, however, the Captain
General, and as such is the person to
enforce martial law in Madrid when il
is declared.
The disturbances which General wey-
Ter is now trying to quell are not it is
said by persons familiar with the situa-
ton, of either Carlist or republican ORR

active in trying to take advantage OF

A UNANIMOUS REPORT IN HIS
FAVOR
Whatever Technical Irregularity in the
Election it Was a Free and Fair One.
The Treason Matter.

WASHINGTON February 15.-Dele-
gate Wilcox of Hawaii today scored
distinct triumph in securing a unani-
nous vote of House Committee on
Elections No. l confirming his right to
seat in the House of Representatives
and holding that the charges against
him were not sufficient to warrant his
removal.
Chairman Taylor was authorized to
make the report to that effect which
will be submitted in about week.
After the meeting Mr.. Taylor ex-
planned the general considerations
which had influenced the decision of
the committee. The case was not con-
sidered so much in it's technical as
poets, but rather on broad grounds, all
the circumstances conditions and sur
|roundings applicable to Hawaii as one
of our new insular possessions being
taken into consideration.
/ AS delegate from new Territory
/ it was not felt that Wilcox should be
met with the same strict construction
required in sustaining the right of a
/ Representative in Congress to his seat,
as the delegate has only limited pow
ers and is little more than an agent.
AS to the charges of treason, the let
7 ters placed in evidence were written
prior to the organic act making Ha-
wall a Territory, and there was no
disposition to go into these prior is

technical irregularity of the election,
there was the saving fact that a per-

pated in the voting, and the will of
the people was expressed.
