SheiIa Has Her Say.


"Then, tell me, please, what you
know of the story" said the governor
10 Sheila at Kings house one after
noon two weeks later. II only get
meager reports from the general COM
manding. But you being close to the
intimate source of the events must
know ALL"
II know nothing direct from Mr.. Cal
houn, your honor" she said, "but only
through his servant, Michael Clones,
who is a friend of my Darius Boland,
and they have met often since the first
outbreak. You know, of course, what
happened at Port Louse-how the
slaves and Maroons seized and MUIR
dered the garrison, how families were
butchered when they armed first, how
barbarism broke loose and made all
men combine TO fight the rebels. Even
before Mr.. Calhoun came they had had
record Of q sack Of human ears, cut
from the dead rebel-slaves, when they
had been killed by faithful slaves, and
good progress was made. But the re-
voters fixed their camps on high
rocks, and by blowing of shells brought
many fresh recruits TO the struggle.
1t was only when Mr.. Calhoun came
with his hounds tia. anything decis-
i've was done. For the rebels-MaroonS
and slaves-were hid, well entrenched
and cautious, and the danger was be-
coming greater every day. On Mr..
Calhoun's arrival he set the hounds to
work and the rebellion in that dis

the governor. "SOme took refuge in
hidden places, and came out only to
steal, rob and murder-and worse.
There is but one way TO deal with
these people. No gaming or drinking
among slaves must be allowed. blow
ing Of shells or beating of drums must
be forbidden, and every free negro
or mulattO must wear on his arm a
sign-perhaps cross in blue or red"
slavery is doomed" sid Sheila
firmly. ITS end is not far off,"

land of Washington and Alexander

at any rate than in their own country

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Clash of Race.


In Kings house at Spanish Town
the governor was troubled. All his
| plans and prophecies had come to
naught. He had been convinced there
would be no rebellion Of the MaroOnS
and he was equally sure that his ca
reer would be made hugely successful
by marriage with Sheila Llyn-but
the MaroonS had revolte i, the mar
riage was not settled
Messages had been coming from the
provost marshal general of reports
from the counties Of Middlesex and
Cornwall, that the MarOonS were raw
aging everywhere and that bands of
slaves had Joined them with serious
disasters to the plantation people
Planters, their wives and children had
been murdered, and in some districts
the natives were in full possession
and had destroyed, robbed and raw
aged. He had summoned his COM
mander Of the militia forces, had Gre
ated special constables, and armed
them, and had sent ship TO the Ba-
hamas to summon small British
fleet there. He had also mapped out
campaign against the MaroOnS,
which had one grave demerit-it was
planned on a basis of ordinary war
fare and not with jamaica conditions
in mind. The provost marshal warned
him of the futility Of these plans, but
he had persisted in them. He had
later been shocked, however, by news
that the best of his colOnelS had been
ambuShed and killed, and that others
had been made prisoners and treated
with barbarity. From everywhere,
except one, had come either news of
| defeat or setback.
| One good thing he Immediately did :;
| he threw open Kings house 10 the
wCunded. and set the surgeons to
work. thereby checking bitter crti-
| ciSm and blocking the movement rising
! against him. For it was we'll known
! he had rejected all warnings, had per-
sisted in his view that trust in the
! MarOOnS and fair treatment of them
| selves and the slaves were all that
was needed.
As he walked in the great salon or
hall of audience where the wounded
! lay-Over seventy feet long and thirty
wide, with great height, to which beds
and cOnveniences had been hastily
brought-it seemed TO him that he
was saving, if barely saving, his name
and career. Standing beside one of
the DOric pillars which divided the
salon from an upper and lower gallery
of communications, he received the

DATES FROM "DIvINE RIGHT"
"Star Chamber Proceedings" an Echo
of the Days When Kings Could
Do No Wrong.

"Star Chamber Proceeding" is an
expression now almost invariably used
to denote an official action which is
conducted in secret and, usually, In
q high-handed manner.
The phrase comes to us from the
fact that centuries ago there existed
in England an all-powerful tribunal
consisting Of committee of the kings
privy council. The custom was either
instituted or revived by Henry VII,
in 1886.
This council had omnipotent powers
and was unfettered by rules Of law.
1t dealt with civil and criminal cases
alike by "bill and information" with
out the aid of jury, and could iniict
any form of punishment short Of
death.
The original was "star chamber"
because In the room where the council
met were deposited the Jewish bonds
known as "stars" from the Hebrew
word shetar, meaning covenant

one higher than yourself-and young

material things that influenced me,
but your own intellectual eminence;
for you have more brains than most
men, as you know so WELL"
The governor interrupted her with
gesture and a burst Of emotion.
"No, no, / am not so vain as you
think. If were I should have seen
at Salem that you meant to say yes"
"Yet you know well you have gifts,
though you have made sad mistakes
here. Do not think 1t was your per-
sonality. your looks that induced me
to think of you, to listen to you.
When Mr.. Calhoun told me the truth,
and gave me a letter he had written
to me"
"a letter-to youT"
There was surprise in the COVER
nor's voice-surprise and chagrin. for
the thing had moved him powerfully.
"Yes, a letter to me which he never
meant me to have. 1t was kind of
