CHAPTER XIII.

1t was about four o'clock on a Satur-
day afternoon, the fifth day of our visit,
that Miss Weston and entered it from
the seward side. We had taken a sharp
walk to the Bredairs Strand, where the
famous caves are situated, and were re-
turning to tea. We came upon them at
an angle of the thicket-a man and
woman seated on a fallen log in eager
conversation. Miss Weston held up
warning hand to me, with amusement
twinkling in her eyes.
"Oh, Mr.. Harlandr' she whispered,
land at her age, tool!
why, who was it? 2" asked, for their
backs were turned towards US.
Don't you see? 1t is Martha, our
she is a day. Fancy Martha with a young
man of her own! l wonder who it can
beF"
Whereupon she fairly gave way to her
merriment in a low ripple of laughter.
1t was loud enough to reach the ears of
the pair before US, for they started to
their feet, the woman facing round bold
ly with flaming cheeks, while the man,
after one swift glance, dropped back
step and stood shamefacedly, with down
cast eyes. Miss Weston nodded to
Martha and we passed on up the track.

LlNcoLN's FAIRNESS.

1t Was One of His Strongest Traits,
Governing Every Action Of Life.
General Taylor was triumphantly
elected, and it then became Lincoln's
duty, as Wing member of Congress from
Illinois, to recommend certain persons
to fill government offices in that State.
He did this after he returned to Spring
field, for his term In Congress ended on
March 4, 1849, the day that General
Taylor became President. The letters
that he sent to Washington when for
warding the papers and applications OF
people who wished appointment were
both characteristic and amusing; for
in his desire not to mislead or to do
Injustice to any man, they were very
apt to say more In favor of the men
he did not wish to see appointed than
in recommendation of his own partlc-
ular candidates.
This absolute and impartial fairness
to friend and foe alike was one of his
strongest traits, governing every action
of his life. If 1t had not been for this,
he might possibly have enjoyed another
term in Congress, for there had been
talk Of re-electing him. In spite Of his
confession to Speed that "being elected
to Congress, though am very grateful
to our friends for having done it, has
not pleased me as much as 1 expected"
this must have been fattering. But
there were many able young men in
Springfield who coveted the honor, and
they had entered into an agreement
among themselves that each would be
content with single term. Lincoln of
course remained faithful to his prom
Use. His strict keeping Of promises
caused him also to lose an appointment
from President Taylor as Commissioner
of the General Land Office. which might
easily have been his. but for which he
had agreed to recommend some other
Illinois man. A few weeks later the
President offered to make him Governor
of the new Territory of Oregon. This
attracted him much more than the 9th
er office, but he declined because his
wife was unwilling to live in a place so
far away.
His career in Congress proved Of
great advantage to him in after life,
having given him a close knowledge Of
the workings of the Federal Govern
ment. and brought him into contact
with political leaders from all parts Of
the Union.-St Nicholas.

81 don't know, Mr.. Harland; but this
is the first time I've seen them together.
Please don't say anything more about it.
l will have a talk to Martha privately,
and see if l can put some sense into
her silly head.
As was walking back to the inn be-
fore dinner l caught sight of Penruman
coming out of the village pOstofice. He
slouched away up a side street at sight
of me- You may think me dull, but
had no suspicion of the truth.
If l had only known.
We all travelled to London together,
taking rooms for the night at the Char
ing Cross Hotel; for though Graden had
chambers in the Albany, he preferred
that we should not be separated. 1t was
here that Reski Joined us. Sorrow had
burnt it's mark upon the Polish inn
keeper. His thin, handsome features
were yet more drawn and though his
courtly manner was unchanged, an alien
ferocity lurked in his dark, reflective
eyes. 1t would not go we'll with the
murderer of his only son If he should
meet him face to face. So l thought as
he stood before us, his hat raised, bowling
us a welcome.
AT nine-forty on the following morn
ing, we were gathered in little group
on the departure platform. Graden, who
had talked with Resk far into the night,
repeated his orders. To preserve the
secret of Dr. Weston's residence was OF
first importance. He would register him
self and his daughter in the name OF
Jackson. All letters, whether from or
to the travellers, were to be forwarded
under cover to Graden's chambers, where
a servant in whom he had absolute trust
would despatch them to their respective
addresses. On the slightest suspicion Of
danger, a telegram would bring our as
sistance from whatever spot our quest
had drawn u.s. Neither DR.. Weston nor
his daughter were to leave their hotel
at Prontresina, even for a walk, without
the escort of the Pole.
II do not wish to alarm you with abb
surd rules, Miss Mary" concluded my
cousin; "but it is we'll to be cautious.
Besides, it should be only for few days.

continental police to interest in his cap

any moment. All! there goes the whistle.

Gent excuse for the kiss that he touched
ON her forehead.
We saw her handkerchief fiuttering
from the carriage window as the train
drew out of the station. l watched it
fade into the muddy grey of the morn
ing; and as it disappeared, the love
had hidden from myself rushed over me,
so that l stood with staring eyes, per-
haps as foolish and wOe-begone a figure
as humanity has ever smiled to witness.
And for this l shall always thank my
cousin, Harry Graden, that he slipped his
arm in mine, leading me down the plat
form as If he had noticed nothing out Of
the ordinary in my manner.
