CHAPTER XVII.
What Kate Saw,

He made his way to the cioakroom,
and asked a servant for his coat, let
him help him on with 1t, and passed
through the hall and out into the night
like man walking in his sleep.
AS he did so. something shot into
the air and burst into shower of
many colored balls; it was a rocket.
The fireworks had commenced He
stopped and stared absently, then went
on.
Clifford was walking round the
crowd. when heavy hand was laid
on his shoulder, and Mr.. Woods voice
rang in his ears.
What Mr. Raven! Be We only Just
come? Well, 1t be fine sight, BENT
it?"
Yes, yes" said Clifford: then he
saw pretty face beside the old man
suddenly lit up by a rocket 1t was
Nellie's.
He nodded to her, and forced a
smile, and she nodded back and
blushed
" rain't very good place to see
from. said Mr.. Wood. IF you'll look
after Nellie for a minute or so. I'll see
whether it's any better on the other
side"
Certainly said Clifford.
The old man unlocked Nellies arm
and held it out toward Clifford with
simple naturalness, and Clifford took

conscious of the little thrill that ran
through the girl at his touch. and the
slight movement she made to withhold
her arm.
He was longing, madly, 70 get away.
to be somewhere by himself and think
of all that had happened to him. but
just as he had fed the famiShed woman
ana children when he was hungry
himself, 50 now he put aside his grief
and trouble and perplexity. and bent
down and spoke gently and as lightly
as he could to the girl.
Are you fond of fireworks. Nellie?
Have you enjoyed yourSelfe"
Even as he spoke there was a rusn
from behind them. and he had TO put
his arm around the girl to Keep her
on her feet.
Let us go further back. ae said.

CHAPTER XIX.
Love and Death in Company.

The fireworks were nearly over,
and the crowd stood in a dense mass
before the set-piece supposed to rep.
resent the battle of Waterloo.
The strains of the Sanford brass
band Joined with the kissing of squibs
and crackers and the shouts of the
people
Some one, in an extremely berry
voice, called out for three cheers for
Lord Carr-Lyon. and the cheer rose
and deafened the band. The earl
came out on the terrace and bowed:
the crowd cheered again and began to
melt away.
Mr.. Wood stayed among the last,
Nellie clinging to his arm.
Hadn't we better go. father?" she
said, for the twentieth time: for after
Clifford had left all her delight in the
proceedings had mysteriously vanish
ed, and she felt dispirited and nervous.
and longed to get away from ,he
noise and the glare.
Right, Nellie" said her father.

Arthur Caresford, even as boy, haC
sneak.
Clifford had some dim recollection
of a quarrel between him and his
cousin, a quarrel resulting in a fight
in which Arthur got considerably the
worst of it.
And they are calling this man Lord
| Carr-Lyon! And he was going to
marry Kate!
He got up and paced to and fro in
the friendly shelter of the shrubDery
/ fighting hard for composure and
capacity to reason the matter out.
Ten, fifteen minutes passed; then, in
as matter of-fact fashion as he could
he slowly walked toward the terrace
and mounted the steps, made his way
to one of the ante-rooms.
There might have been some mis-.
take; they might have been address
ing his uncle, the earl, whom he,
Clifford, was prevented from seeing
or he might have mistaken the title.
At any cost he must discover the
truth; not that it mattered.
What in heaven above. or the earth
beneath, could matter. now that his
angel was lost to him forever?
Crushing down the misery and bit

best he could, he went to the door
leading to the ballroom, and, leaning
Just behind the curtains, looked on.
There were several persons in the
ante-room, laughing and talking in
the gay, bantering fashion which dance
music and a plentiful supper produce,
and they glanced up rather curiosly at
the tall young fellow with the square
shoulders and pale. handsome face.

to her companion, who shook her head.
She was about to turn to gentle
man to pass the question on, when
Clifford crossed to them.
Pardon me-" he said in a deep,
musical voice. do you see Lord Carr
Lyon-the earl, | mean-in the room p
Lord Carr-Lyon?' said the lady,
rising and standing on tiptoe that she
might look over the heads of the
group on the edge of the dancers
Eyes, that Is he-that tall gentleman. -
IL am near-sighted," murmure0
Clifford resolved that he would settle
the question beyond the shadow of a
doubt
Most people are said the lady
with a laugh, 1T is one of the results
of this latter-day civilization of ours
we lose our sight and our appetite, and
we gain-the Dawinian theory. Blu,
that isn't telling you which. is Lord
Carr-Lyon, is it?" and she laughed
brightly. That is he, standing beside
that palm over there; he is talking to
Miss Meddon, the lady he is engaged
to. You know her of course?"
Yes, thank you," said Clifford, and,
with bow and smile. he glanced at
his watch as if hesitating what to do;
then, with quick, firm step, went out
onto the terrace.
So his uncle was dead, and Arthur
was the earl! But If so, what was he,
Clifford?

Evil For Good.

was happy now. She had thrust the
handkerchief into her bosom. and held
her hand over it, pressing it against
her heart as If it was something i'm.

place the level of the sidewalk has sunk at
least ten inches. Immediately after the

the cracks have widened a little since then

Fatal Fight With Bandits in Mex;co

dispatch from Mexico City last night
says: Three killed and fifteen more or less
seriously wounded was the result of a trag-
edy and subsequent encounter with soldiers
by three desperate brigands in this federal
district today.
Crazed by drink, the three desperadoes,
Flores, Saledo and Herrera, went to the
residence of Vicente Godinez, at Santa
Julia, a northern suburb of the city. and
called for Godinez. When he issued from
the house, accompanied by Laurino Frias,
a servant, the bandits opened fire upon
them. Frias was instantly killed and
Godinez badly wounded. When news of the
tragedy reached the authorities of the city
twelve rurales were at once dispatched to
a plantation whittier, it was learned the
desperadoes had fed. A pitched battle en-
sued. Nearly every soldier in the squadron
was wounded.
