DANGER IN THE AIR.


Next day, before noon, Sir Gervase
Tenant and Godfrey Linton started for
London.
Nothing was seen &C Jack Temple I'M

house, although in reality he had been
hanging about the place all the morning
When her father and his guest had
departed, Lillian wandered across the gar
den and made her way to her favorite
seat under the May blossoms.
Her mind was in a state of bewiIder-
ment.
She would not have liked to confess to
herself that the advent of Godfrey Lin
ton had anything to do with this But it
was mpossible-much as she tried to
fiout the notion--to refrain from seeing
the connection between her own feelings
and Jack Temples, and the sudden ap-
pearance of the man from Australia. Of
course, it was the dream which had linked
them so strangely together, the dream
which had come to her again as she sat
On that seat the day before, and in the
midst of which the colonial had appeared
as the very hero of her vision.
Jack Temples attitude had surprised
and repealed her; she had suddenly come
face to face with the worst side of his
character, and try as she would she could
not drive from her the thought-how far
above Temples was the nature of the
other.
1t was rather a bad moment for Jack
to have chosen for his coup d'amour, but
he could not be blamed for his haste. To
hesitate now-to delay-would be to
throw away the only chance he had, for.
hateful as it was to depreciatc himself,
he knew that every hour she spent in the
society of Godfrey Linton would rivet

He is perfectly ignorant of his pur-
pose in coming here, except that he was

Jack Temple made no reply, but passed
from the room, a deadly plan forming
itself in his BRAIN
AS to his winning Lillian on the NOR
row, he had grave doubts; but that
Godfrey Linton should neither be her
husband nor inherit the baronetcy, he was
resolved.

Godfrey was not there. The rest of his

he was superintendent their removal to

window, looking out upon the garden

slipped his arm round her waist.
She sprang away with Il sharp cry, and
as she TUNED and saw who it was, tears
seemed to fill her eyes.

Her words and her look brought back
all his savagery.
IF it had been Linton, suppose it
wouldn't have mattered?" he said, with
an angry laugh Good night"

Colonel Martin Burke, who was in
command at Fort Lafayette when pris-
oners therein quartered made the fort
and the commander subjects OF con
troversy. Apart from any controversy,
Colonel Burke was an interesting per
sonality, and an odd character. I re-
member him as one of the old school
army officers, given TO some eccentrici-
ties that made me smile then and Of.
ten cause me to smile now. He occu-
pied trying position, but he made
minding his own business matter

that some investigating committee

dogs leg was broken, and lie was In

to make any man smile, but Sam, at
