The three horses, black with mud and trem-

night Jordison frowned and, rising to his feet,
walked slowly down the slope toward the creek.
He was not pleased at the idea of the yacht
anchoring under his windows.
Before he reached the edge of the water, one
of the men had put off in the dinghey and was
making it fast to an old post on the bank Jor-
olson stopped and leaned against the black tarred
palings of his garden He had no desire to con-
verse with strangers. The man, however, crossed
the road and came straight up to him.
"Are you Mr.. Jordson of the Red House?'
he asked abruptly.
"I am Mr.. Jordison," was the curt reply.
"Well l have got couple of your cases here.
Pitched into the mud the day before yesterday.
Suppose you have heard all about it, You seem

"I am much indebted to you, Mr. Holme. /"
Jordison replied. "Wil you come into the house?
We are little unsettled as yet, but still"

up and down the room. His face was flushed

could only find him, IL might yet save me from
this other search, and the duty that lies at the
end Of it." Jordison knew well that love for his
was the only redeeming trait in his character,
and that this alone could drag him from the path
he wished to tread.
The room seemed sitting, and he longed for
the fresh air. He went downstairs and cross
ing the garden, which looked like part Of the
London County Council improvements, made
his way to the far end Of the knoll.
Half mile up the creek the sails Of yacht
swelled in the faint west breeze, and seemed like
the wings of some great white bird gliding over
the golden waters.
As it came nearer, Jordison began to regard 1t
with interest.
Nearer the boat came and still nearer till
Jordison could see the faces OF the two men on
the deck.
One was at the tiller and the other was loosing
the jib ballard from its cleat AS they came

no interest in the narrative. However, he made
note on piece OF paper
"See that I get the rest of the castings to,

NEW FRIENDSHIPS.

0URING the next three months many
~ things of Importance occurred
R-S1zsEz=3 Lord Harry Guy was elected mem
EssESSxy ber for the eastern division of Essex
by narrow margin of three votes.
William Jordison smiled when he saw
the result, for the seven votes he had promised
to Arthur Holme were given to Lord Harry Guy.
Lord Harry, the strength of his parliamen-
tary success asked Lady Agnes Clife to be his
wife, She refused his offer, tearfuy and pathetic
ally, as though afraid of the consequences.
He had been her friend from childhood. and
she dreaded the rupture of the friendship. But
Lord Harry Guy took the blow like man. He
laughed away her tears, kissed her hand and left
her with the assurance that what had happened
would not in any way alter the good-felowship
that had hitherto existed between them.
Lord Harry, for his part, had no intention OF
cutting himself adrift from her society. He had
not yet given up all hope, though he knew in his
heart that they could never be such good and
close friends as they had been in the past unless
they became something more than friends in the
future.
In the second place, Lord Harry Guy and Ar
thur Holme had conceived strong affection for
each other
And so it came to pass that Arthur Holme was
frequently at Heatherstone Hall, and before very
long one member of the family began to look
forward to his visits with more eagerness than
prudence.
Lady Agnes Cliffe had no excuse whatever for
the interest she began to take in this somewhat
rough and surly young man. whom Lord Harry
had brought to the house.
He admired her beauty, and saw much to love
in her disposition, but regarding her in the light
of possible wife for his friend, he went out Of
his way to dismiss her from his thoughts and tc
avoid any unnecessary conversation with her
Lady Agnes, on her part, would have laughed
if any one had told her that she was beginning

In few minutes time there was a slow, heavy
footstep on the stairs outside. Then the door
opened and man entered. He was short and
thick-set, with low forehead, bestial mouth, and
sullen, clean -shaven face.
Jordson could not stand the sight of woman
in the house. He had three men-servants, and
more unprepossessng trio could scarcely have
been chosen for the purpose.
They had been selected from the worst types
of humanity, and were, in point of fact, three
convcts who had escaped from Portland jail the
year before. They served Jordison's purpose,
however.
"Wel Mpp," he said, as the man entered.
"Jermy's just brought the second post from

out letter in his dirty muscular fingers.

Benton and Slavery,

1t has been commonly said that
Col. Benton was opposed to sla-
very in the abstract. [ have no
sufficient evidence of that fact
in his own declaration or in the
political history Of the country
to prove 1t. In this connection 1t
should be said to the credit of
Gel. Benton, and for the pur-
pose of fixing his status upon
slave question, that he was an
active participant in the work
of procuring the act of Congress
authorizing the voters of the Mis-
souri, territory to form a consti-
tuition recognizing the existence
of slavery, chat the members of
the Constitutional Convention
from St. Louis county were unani-
mously in favor of making Mis-
souri, a slave state. The provision
prohibiting free persoLs of color
from other states from entering
or remaining in this State, was
his own work, written with his
W hand. This seems to me to
be quite sufficient to disprove the
above statement.-Judge Thomas
J. G. Fagg in Missouri Historical
Review.
