Ing her under a wrong impression
about him; how, oddly enough, al
most the same thing had happened at
Lady James. Then he told her all
about his uncle's letter-gave 1t. to
her to read, in fact-and told her how
he had come to call on Miss D.msdale,
and had been prevented from giving
his real name to Barbara by Dorotay's
coming to meet him and introducing
him to her aunt as Mr.. Harris" and,

II think the dear mistress would De

"She did know, Barbara" said Doro-
thy, with a tender smile shining
through her tears.
So the two sat together for a long
time, talking long, and now and then
weeping as some word brought pacR
the memory of their loss. And Doro-
thy told the faithful servant all the
plans that Dick and she had made for
the strange and almost unknown fu-
ture, which seemed so terrible TO ner
who had lived all her life-all that
she could remember, at least-under

First, do you know that this house

To David Stevenson" burst out
Barbara, Indignantly (she had known
David from a little boy and detested
him always). But, Miss Dorothy,
surely the dear mistress never let him

No, no." cried Dorothy, but Auntie

she sold 1t to David, and | never knew

Then | think. Miss Dorothy" cried
Barbara, in digniied disgust, that he
might have had the decency to wait
a day or two before he told you"

David. He has been very kind and
considerable to me-most kind and con-
siderate. indeed. But he just had to
tell me, he couldn't very well help him

we stopped here for years; but then,
you see, Barbara. I am engaged to Mr..
Harris, and-and this no place for

Docs Mr.. David know" Barbara in
quired.
"rot yet; and that is what I wanted
to tell you. You see, Barbara, Mr.. Har-
ris is very awkwardly placed. He has
a relation who insists that he does not
get married because he would not mar

wanted him to marry. And, Of course,
he wants to marry me, and he means

"Yes?" said Barbara, intensely in

she did get so fond of Dick"
Yes, she did," Barbara agreed
But Miss Dorothy. you are sure it will
be done properly-that you'll be mar
ried in church and have your lines,
and all that?"

actual fact" Dick replied. "But then
you won't like me any the less for that,
I hope"
"Oh, no, / was not thinking Of
that" she said. Il was only thinking
how wonderful 1t was that you should
want to marry me. But, Dick. what
will your uncle say when he finds out
about it?"
"He will cut off my allowance
promptly" Dick answered.
"Oh, Dick!" she said.
We'll, now, my darling, that is what
i want to talk to you about. You see,
nobody about here, not even Lady
Jane, knows me except as Harris, reg
iment vague. And If the old savage
finds out that / am married he will
make it a necessity fer me to go to
India, which I don't want to do if L
can help 1t. But if you would consent
to marry me privately under the
name of Richard Harris, we should be
perfectly safe, SO long as you were not

take my Lorna Doone away and-and
even drown her."
Nay, nay, Mr.. David won't want to
do that" returned Barbara, soothingly.
Besides, Lorna never did belong to
the mistress. Her ladyship gave her to
you-the dear mistress had naught to
do in the matter. Then, Miss Doro-
thy. dear, aren't you going to tell her
ladyship about it?"

Barbara-"last of anybody"
II see," said Barbara, with an air Of
wisdom; but all the same, Barbara did
not see anything. She thought the
whole arrangement very strange and
unusual, and she reminded herself that
she had never been mixed up with any
thing of the kind in her life before,
and now that she was being drawn
into something distinctly ~clandestiue
she did not at all like it. Still. on the
other hand, there al only the pros
pect of remaining at Graveleigh Hall
under David Stevenson, and Barbara
cordially detested David, as she had
always done. So, between her dislike
of David Stevenson and Dorotny's
promise and Mr.. Harris wish that
she should see the marriage take place,
Barbara graciously gave her sanction
to the private union, and did not try
to place any obstacles in the young
folks way.

bitter were the tears that fell that day
for the just and kind friend who was
gone.
Naturally a good deal of curiosity
was felt about Dorothy's future. and
many were the speculations az 10
whether she would remain at the Hall
alone with Miss Barbara or whether
she would eventually decide to go to
Holroyd, or to take the good-looking
officer who had been SO frequent a Wis
itor at the Hall for three months past.
With regard to Dick, there was al
most a quarrel, for Dorothy, as a mat

Now, Dorothy had not a relation in

London Papers Insist That There Is Too
Much Plotting I'm America Against
Great Britain.

London, Oct. S.-The speech of II.
Kelly, of New York, at an anarchist
meeting held Sunday in hall in Tot
tenham court road, near London Tin
which he denounced the late Presi-
dent McKinley's political career), has
led to a revival of the demand for the
extirpitation of anarchists The Pail
Mall Gazette compares anaFchism with
Fenianism, maintaining that the only
difference between these sentiments
of anarchists and the war of outrage
advocated by such men as former
Congressman Finerty is merely one
of diverse means to the same end,
urged that the police of the two An
glO-Saxon nations be empowered to
take concerted action to hunt down
the social enemy whether anarchist
or Fenian and that both governments
refuse them the right of asylum. By
a coincidence, the Times prints long
article from Washington protesting
against the license allowed the Irish
in America in plotting against Great
Britain. Commenting on this, the ST.
James Gazette thinks British hands
are not altogether clean, and that no
law should be strained if Kelly. and
other foreigners whose cult is muir

Roosevelt is opposed to destroying
