CHAPTER II,

When two men fall out who are
closely allied by blood or by friendship
the breach is apt to be all the more
deadly and bitter than if they had been
only mere acquaintance.
And when the same men quarrel
over woman, covertly or openly, be-
ware of the consequences, for a very
pretty feud is apt to ensue.
1t was Richard Dysart's misfortune
to be born the younger son in family
long in lineage but short in wealth.
He was bred to the law, having hopes
OF family influence and preferment in
that quarter, his own taste being for
the army. But old Sir Arthur Dysart,
his father, had his own way, and Rick
religiously kept his terms and ate
his dinners at the Temple.
The elder brother, also named Arthur
there had always been a Sir Arthur
Dysart since Charles Seconds time
was of studious turn, being slight
and dark in stature and complexion,
presenting complete antithesis to his
Berserk younger brother. In tastes
and likings they were also at opposites
Arthur seldom shot over his fathers
preserves; Rick was never so happy
as when he had a gun over his shoulder
and a good dog at heel. Arthur loved
books and flowers and music, and was
something of colorist; Rick almost
hated the sight Of a book, and esteemed
ride to the hounds worth more than
library Of Elzevirs, and the merry
toot of the huntsman's horn prettier
than classic symphony.
But it must not be inferred that
Arthur was by any means milk-sop-
gentleman, than whom there is none
finer OH Gods footstool; and if his
pursuits were of the more peaceful
| order, he could, nevertheless, be trusted
to hold his own anywhere and with
anybody.
Now, the Dysart acres were strictly
entailed, and as a younger son Richard
Dysart could not expect more than
a modest inheritance. Old Sir Arthur
had foreseen this, and managed to lay
by few hundreds which at his death
he intended to bequeath to Rick to tide
him over the briefess days that come
to every budding barrister. Stella Dy-
sart, the sister, was amply provided
for, her mothers jointure having been
settled upon her absolutely.
But the will, put off from day tC
day, was never made, and one morning
the old baronet came a cropper over
his horse, was carried home with 9
broken neck, and new Sir Arthur
tenth of his line, reigned at Denecroft
The latter was perfectly cognizan1
of his fathers intentions respecting
his brother, and meant to scrupulously
carry them out, when an unexpected
obstacle occurred, to wit, bitter ant
acrimonious quarrel betwixt thu
brothers.
Marcia Churchill was the woman il
the case, daughter of old Squire
Churchill, the reigning beauty of a
least three counties, at this time il
the heydey of her social triumphs
Perhaps because Marcia Churchill
and Stella Dysart were representative
of two distinct types of beauty the.
were pretty close friends. Marci;
might have stood for one of DuMauri
er's women, for she was tall an
stately, patrician, and severely beauti

ing up stones apparently at hap-haz-
ard, but really with the quick selection
Of the expert. Some of them were
hardly bigger than a pea, many others
were as large as a marble or a hazel
nut, few even larger.
Now, it is a blessed popularity of
precious stones, cut or uncut, rough or
polished, set or unset, that a fortune
may be contained in one very small
compass. And although mere size does
not always count in assessing the value
! of a stone, yet those which our pros
pector had gathered might be expected
to be worth anywhere from a hundred
to a thousand pounds apiece. For in
| knocking about the diamond fields he
had become something Of connoisseur,
and in picking over this new field he
had with quick decision selected only
, the finest specimens, albeit only in the
rough.
The whole "claim,' when properly
exploited, would doubtless prove to be
very rich, and of this claim he was
of course the owner by right Of dis
covery, in which the drastic mining
laws of the colony would jealously pro-
tect him.
An hour suficed to fill the bag, the
mouth of which he quickly fastened
and flung it on the sand. Then, raising
his clenched fists towards the heavens,
cried in voice hoarse with excitement
and triumph:
"At last! At last!"
With grim smile lifting the
corners of his taWny mustache he gave
the bag kick and thus apostrophized
it's contents:
There you are, my beauties! This
is my claim, and I'm one of the richest
men in South Africa!"
For that dirty canvas bag held twice
a double handful of diamonds, and the
claim would be worth no man could
say how much. Richard Dysart's quest
was ended; he had found virgin de-
post of those precious white stones
for which, not two hundred miles
} away, in Kimberly, an army of white
men and Kafir slaves were madly tear
, ing out the bowels of the continent.
Dysart picked up the bag, walked tt
. where he had thrown down his Win.
. chester, and turned his face towards
camp. A distant rifle shot rang out al
| that instant and appraised him that Joey
: had probably brought down theil
: supper.
, 'Confound the fellow!" he muttered
: 81 wish he hadn't fired the gum"
The sun had DISAPPEARED below thu
3 hills to the westward, and in less thar
!, q quarter of an hour it would be dark
+ Coming in sight of camp, he dis
: covered Joey in the act of skinnin:

New York News Letter.

New York, Oct. 30.-All the fore
es of the fusionists and Tammany
are lined up for the great political
battle next Tuesday, and even though
canveasses have been made by sew
aral clubs and one of the big daily
papers, it is not possible to predict
with any degree of certainty wheth-
er Mayor Low will be reelected, or
whether George B. Mcclellan will
defeat him at the polls.
Certainly New York has never seen
more picturesque campaign in it's
history. The fight between District
Attorney Jerome and Comptroller
Grout, who seems to have forgotten
all the terrible things he has said
concerning Tammany since accept.
ing that organizations nomination,
has paled considerably the lustre
of the two leading candidates and
every word that is uttered by either
man is eagerly gobbled up by the re-
porters and devoured by the public
upon appearance in print. Undoubt-
edly both are good takers. If Tam
many wins Mr.. Grout stands good
chance of redeeming himself; IL the
fusionists succeed in re-electing their
candidate, it will be many years be-
fore Grout will come to the fore
again. if ever. for it would not be
beneath Tammany to lay a great
deal OF the blame for its defeat upon
his shoulders.

A BIG STRIKE PROBABLE.
Meeting is Called for Tomorrow
Night Which May Determine it

Chicago, ILL.,. Oct 30.-A special
meeting of the unions of the pack
ing trades is announced for tomor-
row night. On this meeting is said
to depend the possibility of general
strike of the members of the Anal
gamated Meat Cutters and Butchers
in all the large centers of trade.
Such strike would mean idleness
to all other workmen employed in
the large packing centers. Accord
ing to the officers of the packing
trades council. this call for the
meeting practically embodies recon.
mendations for general strike un-
less the packers make concessions,
which the packers insist they are
not warranted in making.
