liberty and at times their lives have been
put in jeopardy.

they constitute a majority of the Repub-
lican vote cast in those counties, and

Ralph Caryl did not present himself

Thus Caryl thought has he stood on

roof, the stranger was fighting the

fierce and raging illness, but one that
babe fair to continue for some time.

CHAPTER v,
Kate Makes a New Acquaintance

'>oeS "oNSs NSW acquaintance.
When his friend left him, Burt stood
for some moments with a perplexed
expression upon his face. He did not
half like Caryl's coming, though the
man had suggested a plan to assist
him. He did not wholly believe in the
truth of Ralph Caryls agreements.
and he did not precisely want the
man to see Kate
He kicked viciously at the pebbles
as he stood rejecting on this new
phase of affairs.
"A handsome fellow sick there for
the girl to take care Of; and now this
other one, who always makes love to
all the women, and seems to have
heard of Kate before. Decidedly, I'm
not in luck!"
Thus he thought as he watched the
tall and 1.-the figure Of Caryl vending
its way across the sands in the direc-
ton of Purcell's house.
However" said Burt, shaking him.

but the fact may not prevent him from
flirting with Kate, and he's lust the
fellow to take a girls fancy-blast

Having muttered these words, Dick
walked rapidly away in the opposite
direction from that taken by Caryl.
AS for the last-named gentlemen, he
went on gayly, whistling as he walked.
He had struck the right vein in coming
here; he could make this thing pay.
And to find the Purcell-the thought
made him grave again.
But he would reap good harvest
ne had that to tell them for which
they ought to pay well; but he would
be in no hurry to tell it.

responded. quickly. $50 Its all right

Kate fastened to explain, and Caryl
assisted her in his easy way. But he
did not mention his name, and Kate
said, apologetically:
II am ashamed to have forgotten

this, but did not betray that feeling

Dicks Old Friend.

Rlchar Burt, when he left Kate Pur-
cell, after his rejection, wandered
down to the waters edge, walking
along absently in the direction that led
away from the fishermen's houses.
His head was bent, his hands clasped
behind him, and his whole attitude
one of detection.
He by no means could see his way
clearly toward making Kate his wife,
but he was very far from giving her
up. He was at standstill. Though
he told himself that woman says no
half the time when she means yes, he
had an idea that Kate PurcelPs no
meant no.
A step came crunching along on the
sand behind him, and hand was laid
heavily nhis shoulder.
He started, angrily, and, with an
oath, turned to confront the intruder.
"Dick Burt, down in the mouth, as l
live! Burt. regularly hipped, l de-
clare! What the deuce is the row."
Burt's face showed nothing but sur
prise, as he looked at the newcomer.
You here!" he exclaimed.
Certainly am here, and so are you,
should say; and confoundedly blue,
also, to judge from appearances. What
were the wild waves saying to you,
Dick?"
The speaker, in spite of very reck-
less and dissipated air, and the some

had that something about him that we

was most sadly fallen from his estate
He was. perhaps, thirty years old,
but he might not have been so much,
for fast life had set its ageing marks
upon him.

turn up from? That's what 1 should

response. 81 have been, and I've re-
