CHAPTER XVII.
THE PEACE AND CALM OF THE
COUNTRY.

Along in the beginning of the new
year. Aunt Mary began suddenly to
grow very feeble indeed. She had not
been strong all winter, and. in conse-
quence. had been utterly unable to
spend the holidays in the city, as she
had planned; and that disappointment
had seemed to take all the vitality
right out of her.
Jack came home instead, and spent
three days with her; and Glover, en-
route from New York to the other
place. broke his train ride and her
monotony all at once, by sleeping
under her roof one night. But the re-
action after the excitement appeared
to affect her worse than ever. and she
took TO her bed, pronounced life in
general as "dopy," and became more
difficult than ever to live with.
I'm goin' to town JUS s soon as ever
I feel we'll enough she declared ag-
gressively on more than one occasion.

SO much money of her own that I ask

.'She's very rich said Jack. But if
your spirit is SO disinterested. what do
you want to know for?-

know, too, that there is one among
them who need never figure on getting
any alinony out of me. If I ever get
the iron grasp of the law on that
heiress, can assure you that only her

fangs.''
How fierce you ares' said Mrs. Ross
cott why do you get so worked up?"
"Oh," he exclaimed, with something
approaching a groan, ST don't mean to
be-but do care so much. And some
times
She looked up at him. The little
blue heavens that lay between her
double fringe of curly eyelashes reflect
ed his gaze in a manner that was be-
yond the withstanding of mortal man.
So he seized her and kissed her.
Don't be angry he pleaded.
I'm not she murmured But

husband did,
"When?" he asked, breathlessly.
| She looked down at the ground.
"Oh, not for years and years. she
said, softly.
| For years and years." he cried, in
establishment.
That's what I said" she told him.
He relea sed her in his surprise and
stared hard at her. And then he seiz-
ed her again and kissed her soundly.
You don't mean it," he declared.
Ct do mean it," she declared.
] And then she shook her head in a very
sweet but painfully resolute manner.

panion swore mildly but fervently.
You're so young she said further;
''and not bit settled" she added.
But you're young, too" he remind
ed her.
I'm older than you are she said.
| At suppose that you aren't any more
settled than I am, and that's why you
hesitate, he said, grimly.
| Now that's unworthy of you" she
cried; and I have a good mind

| eyes with the sweetest smile that even
| he had ever seen upon even her face.

MAY FIGHT MOROCCO.
French Government Preparing for
Emergencies, but Hopes for Peace.

Paris. Dec 24.-The crisis in Morocco is as
suming warlike aspect leading the govern
rnent TO consider all eventuaIties, including the
possibility and even the probability of the oc-
cupation of chain of six or seven Of the most
important ports giving France control of the
Moroccan customs and communication with
the outer world. This will not be definitely de-
termined until the Sultan responds to the
French demands for redress The occupation
OF ports is considered to be more effective than
a naval demonstration as the American demon
stration at Tangier showed the Moroccans are
unmoved unless a demonstration is accoDDe-
MED by coercion, even the seizure of ports not
bringing the Sultan to terms. France is able
10 send military expedition from Algeria The
French troops in Algeria number 10000 and
can easily be increased by 10000. whereas the
