She's engaged to this gentleman on
conditions
Lord Ingoldsby screwed his eyeglass
into his face and gravely regarded Slyne
again.
But she's not married to him yet. said
he. "And-it's a woman's privilege to
change her mind. Besides. If her en-
gagement is only CONDITIONAL
We needn't discuss it just now,' Capt
Dove put in with unusual diplomacy. He
could see that Slyne was liable to explode
dangerously at any moment.
"All right. them said Ingoldsby. In a
tone of great determination. III Just
have to do the best ] can for myself
And. having finished his light refresh
ment he strolled off again. taking not the
slightest notice of Slynes very obvious
indignation.
As soon as he was safely out OF ear
shot, Slyne fell foul of Capt. Dove. who
listened patiently enough TO all he had
to say.
But I'm not interfering. said the old
man. "All that sort Of thing lies between
YOU and her, Slyne. If you can get her
to marry you right away
"Of course I can-if you back me up.
Slyne declared, wrathfully. "And you've
got to do that now. Dove-for your own
sake. We're both in the same boat re-
member-and il it upsets, we'll both
drown. I'll make quite sure of that.
'So-we'l get hold of Sallie now before
the thing goes any further-and settle
that question for gOOd.'

''SHERMAN AND LEWIS"
Is SPRINGFIELD SLOGAN

The cry of ''Sh arman and Lewis was
taken up by the democratic members of
the general assembly upon their return to
Springfield today. Early arrivals among e
the democratic lawmakers reported that
the sentiment among their constituents
was for the election to the United States
Senate of the two primary election choices
for those berths.
Talk of electing two democratic senators
is practically ended. nearly every party
leader. except Gov. Dunno. being ready to
admit that the only chance of breaking
the deadlock is through combination
that will leave the party only one senator
Col Lewis. Speaker Mckinley and Gov.
Dunno went into conference, and this

overtures to the republican side for a

CHAPTER XIV.
BY Right Of Purchase.

Sall;e had been far too happily occu-
pied since she had come to Loquhariot to
have been conscious of the wheels within
wheels revolving about her there.
She could scarcely at once accustom
herself to look upon the great, gray. age
old castle as her home; but there was
Janet NJ M'kissock always eager to help
her in that respect, with endless stories
Of bygone days which made the place
seem always more familiar and friendly
to her.. She grew. by degrees, ITO know
and love 1t almost as if she had lived
there all her life.
1t was nuch more difficult to grasp the
idea that the whole of the beautiful white
world beyond its windows was also hers,
and hers alone; from the rugged. snow
clad mountains towering behind and Oh
either hand. even to the Small Isles, like
bergs in the sun amid the smoking seas
in that turbulent weather. But Slyne
missed no opportunity to impress that i'm
portant fact upon her. And she was find
ing 1t always easier to forget her un-
happy past. to enjoy the marvellous pres
ent and the most inspiriting part in it, to
leave the Over-difficult future to evolve
itself.
The men and women about the place
were all devoted to her. She had very
soon won the stanch goodwill of the cot
tagers at the clifffOot. And her soft sway
was everywhere undisputed, although
test it himself. But he soon seemed to
realize that it would be best, in the mean
time, to order events from the back
ground and in her voice.
He had shown some disposition, too. to
question the extent OF the liberty she
might now assume to herself. But he had
not pressed that point unduly either. and
they continued on that footing of pleas
ant comradeship which he had been at
such ceaseless pains to promote. HIS
debonair courtesy to her. his easy defer
ence to most of her wishes. were very
different, indeed. from his offhand man
ner of former days. And she could not
but be grateful to him, in the mean
time, for the almost Over-ample fulfill
ment of his original promise.
Regarding her pledge to him. he had
said nothing more. although she spent
long afternoons and evenings in his COM
pany when the weather was at its worst.
while Mr. Jobling was away. Capt. Dove
selves and Slyne had offered to teach her
to play billiards to pass the time.
She would have been entirely content.
indeed but for the hardship her coming
had entailed on Justin Carthew. She
had met him more than once out of
doors and he had always seemed pleased
to see her, butt was of common report
that he was poor man. and she could
not help feeling that he had shown him
self very much more generous to her
than she to him. She found comfort.
however. in the conclusion that circum-
stances were quite beyond her control.
and that he would understand better by
. and by the complications through which
she had had to find her way as best she
could.

Mr.. BROWNSON DISAGREES

We've got to intervene in Mexico soon
er or later. and there is little use putting
it off. declared Representative Curry of
New Mexico at the White House today
American interests in Mexico are too eX-
tensve and there a~e too many citizens
of this country there to permit the de-
plorabe conditi ions of the last two years
to go on. | do not see how Intervention
is to be put off much longer. and 1 am
satisfied the MeXicans themselves fear
this eventual outcome.
I'VE have got to put enough troops in
there. too. to see that no disaster comes
to them. Our first step will be TO take the
City of Mexico and then to take charge
of the three northern states. Chihuahua,
Sonora and Coahuila. II will not take rs
many troops people think. If We go in
there for protection purposes We will
simply repel attacks s they are made.
The regular army ard the militia of the
states will make up 100000 men. and that
will be enough.
Would Keep Three States.
II do not think we will ever want to
annex all of Mexico il we are compelled
to go in there. but we will want the three
northern states, and we could hold them
with no large number of men. These
Mexico and are at present dominated by
Americans and American money II we
should take them they would be quickly
populated by Americans and would be-
come garden spots of the southwest
I'VE ought also to have Magdalena bay
and Southern California. The balance of
the country we would not care for The
Mexicans themselves have found it diff
fcult to handle the three northern
states. and would probably be glad to
get rid of them. The biggest part of
the population of Mexico is in and

Admiral Brownson retired, who was also
