He was so.

He did
And yet exclaimed Barbara
angrily, you dare not say with one
breath that you are innocent, whilst
with the next you confess your guilt.
Like the satyr in the fable, would
drive you from my presence, you
| blower of true and false.
He caught her hands again and held
her firmly, whilst he drew her out of
| the shadow of the archway into The
moonlight of the court.
DO you give it up?' he asked; and,
by the moon, the sickle moon, on his
pale face, she saw him smile By that
same moon he saw the frown On her
brow. Miss Barbara, l am not Ezekiel
Babb's only sonl'
Her heart stood still; then the
blood rushed through her veins like
the tidal bore in the Severn. The
whole of the sky seemed full of day
light She saw all now clearly. Her
pride, her anger fell from her as the
chains fell from Peter when the angel
touched him.
No, Miss Jordan, l am guiltless in
this municipalities in everything
except in having deceived you.
God forgive you!' she said in low
tone as her eyes fell and te ars rushed
to them. She did not draw her
hands from his. She was too much
dazed to know that he held them.
God forgive you!-you have made me
suffer very much!'
She did not see how his large earn
est eyes were fixed upon her, how he
was struggling with his own heart to
refrain from speaking out what he
felt; but had she met his eye then in
the moonlight, there would have been
no need of words, only a culver of the
lips, and they would have been
clasped in each others arms.
She did not look up; she was study
ing, through a veil of tears, some
white stones that caught the moon
light.
This IS not the time for me to tell
you the whole sad tale, he went on.
I have acted as I thought my duty
pointed out-my duty to my brother
Yes, said Barbara, you have a
brother-that strange boy
A laugh, jeering and shrill, close in
their ears. From behind the great
yew appeared the shoulders and face
of the impish Walter.

them
You have dared to do that?' His
eyes began to kindle and the color
left his cheeks, which became white
as chalk. Barbara saw that he had
lost command over himself His
feeble reason was overwhelmed by
passion.

tones, I have never disobeyed you be.

clutching it in the middle and turning
it. With his other hand he clutched
and twisted and almost tore the
sheets. Barbara believed that he
would strike her, but when he said,
Come here she approached him,
looking him full in the face without
shrinking.
She knew that he was not response
bic for what he did, yet she did not
hesitate about obeying his command
to approach. She had disobeyed him
in the night in matter concerning
another, to save that other; she
would not disobey now to save her
self.
His face was ugly with unreasoning
fury, and his eyes wilder than she
had seen them before. He held Up the
stick.
Papa she said, not your right arm
or you will reopen the wound
Her calmness impressed him. He
changed the stick into his left hand,
and, gathering up the sheet into a
knot, thrust it into his mouth and
bit into it.
Was the moment come that Bar
bara had long dreaded? And was
she to be the one on whom his mad
ness first displayed itself?
Papa she said, I will take any
punishment you think fit, but, pray,
do not strike me, I cannot bear that
not for my sake, but for yours
He paid no attention to her remOn-
STRANGE, but raised the stick, holding
it by the ferule.
Steadily looking into his sparkling
eyes, Barbara repeated the words he
had muttered and cried in his sleep.
De profundis CLAIMANT ad tc, Domino.
ST iniQuitates observaveris, quis sus-
tinebit?'
Then, as in a di2solving view on a
sheet one scene changes into another,
SO in his wild eyes the expression of
rage shifted to one of fear; he drop
ped the stick and Jasper, who at that
moment entered, took it and laid it
beyond his reach.
Mr.. Jordan fell back on his pillow
and moaned, and put his hands over

his brow, and beat his temples with
his palms. He would not look at his
daughter again, but peevishly turned
his face away.
Now Barbara's strength deserted
her; she felt as if the floor were roll
ing and as if the walls of the room
were contracting upon her.
I must have air. she said Jasper
caught her arm and led her through
the hall into the garden.
Eve, alarmed to see her sister so
colorless, ran to support her on the
other side, and overwhelmed her with
inconsiderate attentions.

CHAPTER xxxV.
The Alarm Bell.

1
Next morning Barbara entered the
hall after having seen about the
duties of the house, ordered dinner,
weighed out spices and greats, made
| the under-servant do the work OF
| Jane who was absent; she moved
about her usual duties with her usual
precision and order, but without her
usual composure.
When she came into the hall on her
way to her fathers room, she found
Eve there engaged and hard at work
on some engrossing occupation.
oh, Bah! do come and see how

sighed.
That she had deceived her sister,
| that she had given her occasion to be
anxious about her, had quite passed
from her mind, occupied only with
glittering toys.
b .rbara hesitated at her fathers
door. She knew that a painful scene
angry and reproach her for having
| disobeyed him. But her heart was re-
lieved. She believed in the limo
cence of Jasper. Strengthened by
| by this faith, she was bold to con-
front her father.
She tapped at the door and entered.
She saw at once that he had heard
her voice without, and was expecting
her. There was anger in his strange
eyes, and hectic color in his hollow
cheeks. He was partly dressed, and
sat on the side of the bed. In his hand
he held the stick with which he was
wont to rap when he needed assist
ance.
Where are the clothes that lay on
the floor last night? was his saluta-
ton, pointing with the stick to the
spot whence Barbara had gathered
them up.
They are gone, papa; 1 have taken
them away
She looked him firmly in the face
with her honest eyes unwincing. He,
however, was unable to meet her
steadfast gaze. His eyes fiickered and
fell. His mouth was drawn and set
with a hard, cruel expression. such as
his face rarely wore; effaced by a
wave of weakness. Now, however, the
expression was fixed.
I forbade you to touch them. Did
you hear me?'
Yes, dear papa, I have disobeyed
you and l am sorry to have offended
you: but I cannot say that l repent

NEVADA LAND

A Washington dispatch of the 9th
has the following in regard to the
Nevada land fraud cases.
Although there are fewer cases in
Nevada than in any of the states and
territories mentioned, the land in
volved is worth $40 ,364,n0o more than
nalf the entire sum. And the ryin-
ciple involved in these Nevada cases
makes them undoubtedly the most
important cases that have come up

the man they so successfully COM
memOrated last night and showed a
spirit of patriotism seldom seen III
the public schools.
One of the pieces read by Miss
Mary Casson. was a cleverly written
paper dwelling on the life and
character of Lincoln and bringing out
the pure simplicity of the nature Of
so unusual a character.
The retrospect, by Gwynne Davis,
was a summing up of the events that
mark Abraham Lincoln as among the
greatest men in the history Of the
world: while the recantatiOn. by
Florence Burlingame. told the Incl

In a few words the presentation was
made showing the appreciation of

import and fame. Mr.. Deady's ac-
ceptance was grateful and precise.
He regretted that there was not also
a tablet for the students showing
their patriotism and zeai in this the
most sincere expression of their Ven
Tor humanity than any other in the
history of our country.
