More than once-aye, more than q
dozen times-One or the other OF these
loyal friends stood between him and
death, and times without numbers he,
too, turned the grim reaper aside for
them.
John Desmond, gay, handsome and
still young as men of his kind go, met
the fate that brooks no intervention.
He was the first to drop out of the
ranks. In Cairo, during a curious pc
riod of inactivity some ten months
after the advent of James Brood, he
met the woman who conquered his ven
turesome spirt-a slim, calm, pretty
English goyerness in the employ OF a
British admirals family, They were
married inside of six months. He took
her home to the little Maryland town
that had not seen him in years.
Ten years passed before James
Brood put his foot on the soil of his
native land Then he came back to
the home of his fathers, to the home
that had been desecrated, and with
him came the two old men who now
sat in his huge library before the
cracking fire He could go on with
life, but they were no longer fit for
its cruel hardships. His home became
theirs. They were to die there when
the time came.
Brood's son was fifteen years of age
before he knew. even by sight, the
man whom he called father. Up to
the time of the death of his mother
in the home of her fathers, he had
been kept in seclusion.
There had been deliberate purpose
in the methods of James Brood in sc
far as this unhappy child was con
cerned. When he cast out the mother
lie set his hand heavily upon her fu
ture. Fearing-even feellng-the in
fernal certainty that this child was not
his own, he planned with machiavelliar
instinct to hurt her to the limit of his
powers and to the end of her days
He knew she would hunger for this
baby boy of hers, that her heart coulC
be broken through him, that her pun
ishment could be made full and com
plete. He sequestered the child in &
place where he could not be found
and went his own way, grimly certain
that he was making her pay! She

Reputation.

1t is potent to everyone who has read
the reports Of the proceedings Of the
convention, that the scheme Of uni
versal reputation meets with no favor
in that body.
A homestead law will probably be
passed, and debt contracts for negroes,
declared null and void; but beyond
this, no other relief can be hoped for
by debtors. There has been an i'm
preston for some time past, that the
convention would wipe out all old
debts. The sooner this notion is dis
PEELED, the better it will be for the
position to do anything of the kind,
even If it had the power; which no
sane man believes it has. 1t will be the
desire Of that body to make land so
cheap that it will be within the reach
Of the poorest. This can be accom-
plished by permitting all Of the land
in the country to be thrown on the
market.
Let no debtor, then, delude him.

his debts and hold his property; but
while it is yet time, let him propose
to pay what he can, and all just men

can debtors escape utter bankruptcy.

stall.
Mr.. Lithgow Osborne reported that
his whole impression Of the camp
authorities was utterly unlike that
which he received in every other
camp which he has visited. Instead
able prisoners Of war, the men ap-
peared to be regarded criminals
whom a regime Of fear alone would
suffice to keep in obedience.
Sir Edward Grey having Informed
the American Ambassador that he
had read with great concern that re-
port on the conditions at Whittenberg
Mr.. Gerard himself forwarded, on
the 8th instant, q report Of per-
sonal visit to the camp.
Mr.. Gerard says he regrets to state
that the impression he gained was
even more unfavorable than he had
been led to expect. Among the 56
civilian prisoners he found IL were
without overcoats At the military
barracks he found total Of 16 over
coats among 27S men. The allegation
that some men had had their over
coats taken away was at first denied
but on Mr.. Gerard reminding the Of
flcer that the general had informed
Mr.. Osborne he had a right to do
this he agreed, and said that this
course was perfectly proper.
The men told Mr.. Gerard that one
of the British medical officers at the
camp had been recently struck by a
German non-commissioned officer.
On investigation this proved to be
true.
Many prisoners complained that
dogs were brought in by German SOL
diers on night duty, and that they
had had their clothes torn by them.
Mr.. Gerard was officially told that
these dogs were needed I protect
the German soldiers.
Sir Edward Grey has expressed his
astonishment that a British medical
officer has been struck by German
non-commissioned officer, all the
more 30, he points out, as the officer
was detained solely for the convent
ence of the German government.
And he has added the hope that steps
will at once be taken severely to pun
ish the commissioned officer In
question and to prevent the recur-
renee Of such an unseemly breech of
discipline.
In note Of the 18th instant with
regard to the Introduction Of saw
age dog into the camp, Sir Edward
Grey takes the strongest exception
to the use Of police dogs in the camp.
He also says that he regrets to OBJ
serve that in spite Of the severity OF
the weather only 16 out Of 278 Brit
ish prisoners Of war are provided
with overcoats, though 1t would seem
that overcoats are available.-London

CLAYTON was an Englishman, so the
girl had passed quite out Of sight be-
fore he deduced what reply man
would have made.
Upon my word" he said ruefully,
"she called me liar. And fancy I
deserved it. I'd better go to bed"
But before he did so he called gently
to Jane Porter upon the opposite side
Of the sailcloth partition, for he wish
ed to apologize, but he might as well
have addressed the sphinx. Then he
wrote upon a piece Of paper and shov-
ed 1t beneath the partition
Jane Porter saw the little note and
ignored it, for she was very angry and
hurt and mortified, but she was wo-
man and so eventually she picked it
up and read it. 1t said:
My Dear Miss Porter-I had no rea-
son to insinuate what I did. My only
excuse is that my nerves must be un-
strung, which is no excuse at all.
Please try to think that did not
say it. I am very sorry. I would not

."He did think it or he never would
have said it," reasoned the girl. But
it cannot be true. I know it Is not
true!"
One sentence in the letter frightened
her-T would not have hurt you above
all others in the world"
A week ago that sentence would
have filled her with delight. Now it
depressed her.
She wished she had never met Clay
ton. She was sorry that she had ever
seen the forest god-no. she was glad.
And there was that other note she had
found in the grass before the cabin the
day after her return from the jungle.

he were another Of the wild denizens
