self in it, and put pistol and hunting
knife in her belt, and large plumed
hat on her head, she looked in the
mirror with the utmost satisfaction.
She was her brothers. double; quite
his height, and singularly like him in
carriage, face and manner.
Matilda walked quickly through the
garden. and without molestation she
arrived at the three oaks. Yupon
Slade was already there. For nearly
an hour Matilda walked up and down
the road, keeping well within call of
her companion. But about nine
o'clock the sound of a horse coming
at an easy gallop was heard, and Yu-
pom was softly called. He was at Ma
tilda's side as the rider came near
them. She advanced to meet him
calling pleasantly, miles Watson,
word, if it please you"
The voice was familiar and kind,
and Miles drew rein and asked, "Who
calls me? am on the Common
wealth's business, and cannot be de-
layed."
Then Matilda, pointing the pistol in
his face, said, you must light from
your horse, Miles Watson" The pis-

accompanied by threats, and Watson
thought it best to obey quietly, where
he could not resist. When Yupon had
bound him securely, Matilda took the
le~+ern, and drawing from her girdle
the sharp hunting knife, she cut open
the leathern mail bag and turned the
light upon its contents. The small
private letters she hardly noticed. but

He rose as she spoke. and she
kissed him with passionate tender
ness. When he left the room, she ran
which road he took. In about a quar-
ter of an hour she saw him riding at
great speed northward, and watched
him until he became a speck on the
horizon.
Then she went to her room and in
a leisurely manner put on her garden
hat and walked to the stables. She
went at once to a young man known
to be Stephen de Wick's constant at
tendant whenever he was in the neigh
borhood. She knew he could be relied
on. and as they stood together by Ma
tilda's Barbary mare, she said with
the critical air of one talking about a

of over 1000 persons, for the killing
of James Eastland, a prominent white
planter. and John Carr. a negro, on
Wednesday at the Eastland planta-
ton, two miles from Doddsville. The
burning of Holbert and his wife closes
a tragedy which has cost eight lives,
has engaged 200 men and two packs
of bloodhounds in four days chase
across four counties, and has stirred
this section of Mississippi almost to
frenzy.
The killing Of Eastland. Carr and
Winters occurred Wednesday at East
lands plantation. Holbert and Win
ters were in Carr's cabin when East
land entered and ordered Holbert to
leave the plantation.
A difficulty ensued in which, It is

Carr. Fastland returned the fire and
killed Winters.
When the news of the tragedy

both heavily armed. had fed.
Posses were formed at Greenville,

pursuit of Holbert and his wife was

CHAPTER XIII.
Changes at De Wick.

Changes at De WICK.
When Matilda received a letter from
Anthony Lynn, she was Immediately
certain that the old mans conscience
troubled him in the presence of death.
and that he wished to return de Wick
to it's rightful owner. Sir Thomas and
Lady Jevery were of the same opinion.
and the two ladies started for de Wick
at once.
Anthony Lynn stood at the door to
meet them. He looked Ill and frail,
but hardly like death, and when he
witnessed the delight of the ladies at
the changes made in de Wick, his face
grew almost young in its pleasure.
Every room in the house was fresh
surprise; for through all that was
venerable through age or family asso-
citation, and all that was valuable and
beautiful had been preserved, yet so
much of modern splendor and worth
had been mingled with the old that
the rooms were apparently newly fur
nished. Matilda said enthusiastically:
Mr.. Lynn, seeing that the de Wicks
had to leave their ancient home, am
glad it has fallen to you-and l am
sure my father is glad, also"
Then the old man burst into that
thin, cold passion of weeping so sig
nifcant of age, and so pitiful in it's
helplessness. at is your fathers do
ing. Lady Matilda" he sobbed. at is

now. This evening l will tell you all. +"
He went away with these words, and
the two women looked at each other

tend a disapproval of the Earl and his
ways-but a disapproval tempered
with regret-so that men might not
suspect my opposition. The king was
even then sending to de Wick for
money, and l was supposed to supply
it on the de Wick silver and valuables.
In reality, the Earl sent these things
to my care, and he himself gave the
gold. Then there came a time when
de Wick was bare, and the king still
wanted money. And the Earl prom
ised to borrow from me one thousand
pounds. in consideration OF letters
royal making the Lady Matilda Coun-
tess de Wick in her own right, If her
brother Stephen had no heirs of his
body. Here are the papers relating to
your succession. and here are those
relating to my trust in the matter of
the de Wick silver and valuables."
Thus Matilda virtually became mis-
tress of her old home. Anthony was
seldom seen, but Stephen de Wick
came and went, and brought with him
men whose names were not spoken,
and whose business meant much more
than the packs of cards which ap-
peared to be all they cared for. In
fact, Matilda was soon neck deep in
Prince Rupert's plot, and there was no
doubt in her mind that the month of
May would end the life of Oliver Crom-
well, and bring the king to his throne
and the de Wicks to their earldom.
She was sitting, one afternoon, talk
ing to Stephen, when a servant en-
tered. my lady" he said, here has
come a man with a letter. which he

JAPS TIRED OF DELAY
ARE ANXIOUS TO WAGE WAR
WITH RUSSIANS
last Peace Barrier Between the En-
pires of the Gear and the Mikado
Are Torn Down and War
Must Result.

Advices from st. Petersburg, under
Sundays date, say that Count Lams'
dorff, the Russian foreign minister
has informed the Russian representa-
tives abroad that Japan has decided
to break off negotiations with Russia
and to withdraw the minister and
whole Japanese legation staff from St
Petersburg.
The Russian foreign minister there
upon ordered the Russian minister
Baron de Rosen, and his staff, to leave
Toxic.
According to advices from Toxic
the severance of diplomatic relations
between Russia and Japan appears to
be only a step toward war, although
when the ministers of Russia and
Japan have withdrawn from their re-
spective post, quick and decisive &C
ton is expected.
When Minister of Foreign Affairs
Komura on Saturday notified Baron de
Rosen, the Russian minister, of ia.
pans determination to sever diplo-
matte relations, he is reported to have
declared to him that Japan is tired OF
Russia's delays, evasions and insincer-
ity, and has decided to take independ-
ent action for the conservation of ia
pans Oriental interests.
During the final negotiations ia
pans repeated requests for an answer
were treated in a most unsatisfactory
manner.
Japan waited until convinced that 1t
was useless to wait longer, and has
now ended the discussion.
The indications are that there will
be no formal declaration of war, but
that Japan will simply seize Korea.
