"One never knows liow an enervating country mny soften one's bruins." He bade them a cool good-by and left. She watched his retreating figure, the llgurc of the aetlve, the strong, the linndsome animal, who had scarcely won the be.tw hide of her nature at nil. lie never turned his head. So this was the end! Tho liewildering bitterness of It well nigh paralyzed Hosalys for n few mo ments. Why had they been allowed he and she to love, one another with that eager, almost unholy, passion, and then to part with less interest In each other than ordinary friends? S3ho felt ashamed of having ceded herself to liim. It her mother had not been be side her sh would have screamed out aloud in her pain. Mrs. Ambrose lifted up her voice. "What an? yon looking at, child'.' . . . . iMy dear, I want a little word with yon. Are you sure you are attending'.' When you poutybur'lip like that, Uos alys, I always know Mint you are in a bad frame of mind. ... 1 he vi- ear has Itcen here; and ho has made mc a little unhappy." "I should liuvo thought ho wits too stupid to give unyone n pang! Why do they put such simpletons into the churches?" "Well he says that people arc chat tering about you and that, young Our rant. And I must tell yn that that, from a marrying point of view, ho is impossible. You know that. And I don't want him to make up to you. Now, Kosnlys, my darling, tell mc hon estly I feel I have not looked after yon lately as I ought to have done tell me honcstlv, is ho In love with you?" "He is not, mother, to my certain knowledge." "Are you with him?" "No. That 1 bweur." CIIAI'TBII V. Seven years and some months had passed since Hosalys spoke as above written, and never a sound of dim. As sho had mentally matured under the touch of the gliding seasons, Miss Ambrose had determined to net upon the bint Jim had thrown out to her as to the practical nullity of their mar riage contract, if they simply kept in different hemispheres without, a word. She had never written to him a line; nitil he had never written u line to her. lie might be dead for till that she knew; ho possibly was dead. She had taken no steps t' ascertain anything about him, though she had been nwaro for years that he was no longer in the army list. Demi or ullto he was completely cut nil from the country in which he and she hud lived, for his fa ther had died a long time before this, and his house and properties had been sold, and not it scion ol the house of Durrant remained in that part of Eng land. Hosalys had readily imbibed his ideas -f their mutual independence; and now, after the lapse of all these years, had acted upon them with, the surprising litcralness of her sex when they act upon advice at all. Mrs. Ambrose, who had distinguished herself in no whit during hur llfty years of life save, by the fact of having brought a singularly beautiful girl into the world, had passed ipiiotly out of it. Hosalys' uncle hud succeeded his sister-in-law in the possession of the old house with its red tower, and the broad paths and garden lands', ho had been followed by an unsatisfactory sou of his, last in the entail, and thus unexpectedly Hosalys Ambrose found herself sole mistress of the spot of her ' birth. People marveled somewhat thut she called herself Miss Ambrose still. Though a woman now getting on for thirty she was distinctly attractive both in face and In tlgure, and could eon front the sunlight as well as the moon beams still. In the manner of women who ate still sure of their charms, she was fpnd of representing herself as much older than sho really was. Per haps shu would have been disappointed if her friends had not laughed and con tradicted her, anil told her that she was still lovely and looked liko a girl. 'Lord Parkhurst, anyhow, was firmly of that contradictory opinion; ami per haps she cared more for his views than for anyone else's nt the present time. That distinguisned sailor hud been but one of many suitors; but he had stirred her heart as none vt the others could do. It was not merely that he was bravo nml pleasing, und had re turned from a campaign in Egypt with a hero's lopututiou; but that his chiv alrous feelings towards, women, origi nating perhaps in the, net that he knew very littlo nliont, them, were .nfllcicnt to gratify the most oxueting of the sex. His rigid notions of duty und honor, both towards them and from tliciu, .made the blood of ltosalys run eold -whcti she thought of n certain little episode of her past life, notwithstand ing, that, or perhaps lccauso, sho loved him dearly. "He is not the least bit of n flirt, Ilka most sailors," said Miss Ambrose to her cousin and coii"cnion, Miss.lennlng, on a particular afternoon in this eighth year of .Mm Durrant's obliteration from her life. It was an afternoon with an iuimctisu event immediately ahead of H; no less irn event than llba!y&' marriage with Lord Park- fc"0&i3 HAKDV. JM hurst, which was to take place on the very next day. Tho local newspaper had duly an nounced the coining wedding in proper terms ns "tho npprouching nuptials of tho beautiful and wealthy Miss Am brose, of Ambrose Towers, with a. dis tinguished naval oilleer, Lord Park hurst." There followed an ornamental account of tho Tuturo bridegroom's heroic conduct during the late war. "Tho handsome face and figure of Lord Parkhurst,"' wound up the honest, paragraphist, "arc not altogether un known to us In this vicinity, ns ho has recently been visiting his uncle, (V1. Lacy, high sheriiV of the county. Wo wish all prosperity to the happy couple, who have doubtless n brilliant and cloudless future before them." This was the way in which htr ac ceptance of Durrant's views had worked themselves out. lie had said: "After seven years of mutual oblivion we can marry again if we choose."' Aud she had chosen. ltosalys almost wished that Lord Parkhurst had been a ilirt, or at least had won experience as tho victim of one, or many, ol those precious crea tures, aud had not so implicitly trusted her. It would have brought things more nearly to a level. "A Jlirt: I should think not," said "-SOW, JIAItl.IXO, AllOUT I Jane Jennings. "In fact, Hosalys, ho is almost alurmingly btrlot in his ideas. It is a mistake to believe that so many women are angels, as ho docs. Hois too simple, lie is bound to be disap pointed some day." Miss Ambrose sighed nervously. "Yes," she said. "I don't mean by you to-morrow. God forbid!" "No." Miss Ambrose sighed again, and u sileneo followou, during which, while recalling unutterable things of the past, Hosalys guzed absently out of the window at tho lake, that some men "-ere dredging, the mud, left bare by draining liown the Wftcr, )eing im printed with hundreds of littlo foot marks of plovers feeding there. Eight or nine herons stood further away, one or two composedly fishing, their gray figures reflected with miblurred clear ness in the mirror of the lake. Some littlo waterhens waddled with a fussy gait across the sodden ground in front of them, and a procession of wild geese came through the sky, nml passed on till they faded away into a row of black dots. Suddenly the plovers rose into tho air, uttering their customary wails, and dispersing like a group of stars from a rocket; and the herons drew up their flall-llko legs, and flapped them selves away. Something had disturbed them; a carriage sweeping round to the other side of the house. "There's the door-boll!'' Hosalys ex claimed, with a start. "That's he, for certain! Is my hair untidy, Jane? I've been rumpling it awfully, leaning back on the cushions. And do see if my gown is all right at tho back it never did nt well." ' Tho butler flung open the folding doors and announced in the- voice of n man who felt that it was quite time for tills nonsense of calling to bo put au end to by the more compact arrange ment of tho morrow; "Lord Parkhurst!" A man of middle size, witli n fair and pleasant face, und it rather short beard, entered tho room. His blue eyes smiled rather more than his lips as ho took tho little hand of his hostess in his own with tho air of one verging on proprietorship of tho same, and bald; "Xow, darling, about what we have to ' rs. scttlo before morning! I have come en tirely on business, as you perceive." Hosalys merely mulled up at hhn. Miss Jennings loft the room and Hos alys' sailor silently kissed and admired his betrothed, till he continued: "Ah my beautiful one! I have noth ihg to givo you in return for tho im measurable gift you are about to be stow on me excepting such love as no man ever felt before! 1 almost wish you wcro not quite so good, aud per- feet, and Innocent as you arel And I wish you wcro n poorer womnn as poor ns I and had no lovely liomcsuch as this. To think you have kept your self from nil other men for such an un worthy follow as nlel" Hosalys looked away from him along the green vistas' of "chestnuts and beeches stretching far down outside the windows. "Oswald I know how much you caro for mc. and that is why 1 hope you. won't be disappointed after you hnvc taken mc to-morrow for good and nlll I woudcr if I shall hinder nml hamper jouin your profession? Per liaps you ought to marry n girl much younger than yourself your nature Is so young not n maturing womnn liko me." Tor all answer he smiled nt her with the conllding, fearless gaze that she loved. Lord Parkhurst stayed on through a paradisaical hour till Miss Jennings eamo to tell them that tea was in the library. Presently thev were reminded by tho same faithful relative i-i'd de pendent that on that evening of all evenings they had proinked to drivo across to tho house of Col. Lacy, Lord Parkhurst's uncle, and one of Hosalys' near neighbors, and dine there quietly with two or tlnce intimate friends. eiiAiTint vi. When Hosalys entered Col. Lucy's drawing-room before dinner, tho eyes of tho few guests assembled, there Were naturally enough fixed upon her. "fly Joe, bhe's better looking than ever though she's not more than u WHAT WH If.VI". TO W.TTI.K.' year or two under thirty!" whispered young Lacy to a man sUmding in the shadow behind n high lamp. Thu person addressed started, and did not answer for a moment. Then he laughed and said, forcedly; "Yes, wonderful for her age, she certainly is." As he spoke his hostess, a fat and genial lady, came blandly towards him. "Mr. Durrant, I'm so sorry we've no lady for you to tnko in to-night. One or two people have thrown us over. I want to introduce you to Miss Am brose. Isn't sho lovely' O, how stupid I niu! Of course you grew up in this neighborhood, and must have known all about, her as n girl." Jim Durrant it was, in the llesh; once the soldier, now the "traveler and ex plorer" of the little known interior of Asiatic countries; to use the words in which he described, himself. His foreign-looking and sun-dried face was rather palu nnd set ns ho walked last into thu dining-room witli young Lacy. He had only arrived on that day at a hotel in the nearest town, where he had been accidentally met aud recognized by that youug man, and asked to din ner olT hand. .Smiling and apparently unconscious he sat down on tho left side of his hostess, talking ealuily to her and across the table to the ono or two ho kuew. Hosalys heard his voieo as tho phantom of a dead sound mingling with tho usual trhial words nnd light laughter of tho rest, Lord Parkhurst's conversation about Egyptian ilnanco, and Mrs. r,ay's platitudes nlout tho the homo rule question, as if she were living through u. curiously incoherent drcuin. Suddenly during the progress of tho dinner Mrs. Lacy looked across with u glance of solicitude towards tho other end of tho tablo und said, in a low voice: "I am afraid Miss Ambrose Is rather overstrained as sho naturally may lie. Sho looks so white and tired. Do you think, Parkhurst, that she finds this room too hot? I will have the window opened at the top." "She does look pale," Lord Park hurst murmured, und as ho spoko glanced nnMously and tenderly towapl his betrothed. "I think, too, bho has a littlo overtaxed herself she don't usually get bo white nn this." Hosnlys felt his eyes upon her, looked across at him and smiled strangely. When dinner was ended Hosalys still seemed not quite hersejf, whereupon she was taken in hand by her good and fussy hostess; sal-volatllo was brought, and she was given the most comforta ble chair and the largest cushions the house afforded, ft? seemed to ltosalys ns If hours had elapsed beforo ths men joined the ladies, and there came '.hat general moving of plnces like tht shuf fling of u pack of cards. She heard Jim's voice speaking close to her enr: "I want to have n word with you." "I can't!" she faltered. "Did you get my letter?" "No," said she. "I wonder how that, wns! Well, I'll bo "ttt tho door of Ambrose towers while the stable block is striking tweho to-night. He there to meet mc. I'll not detain you long. We must have an un derstanding." 'Tor Ood's sake, how do you como here?" "I saw in tho newspapers thnt you were going to marry. What could I do othcrwiso than let you know I was alive?" "Oh, you might have dono it less cruelly!" "Will you l)c at the door?-' "I must, I suppose! Don't toll him here beforo these people! ft will be such an agonizing disturbance thnt" "Of eourso I shnn't. lie there." This wns all they could say. Lord Parkhurstcamo forward, and observing to Diirrnnt: "They nro wanting you for beziqne," snt down beside Hosalys. Sho had intended to go homo early, and went oven earlier than sho had planned. At half-past ten sho found herself in her own hall, not knowing how she had got there, or when she had bidden adieu to Lord Parkhurst, or what she had said to him. Jim's letter was lying on the table awaiting her. As soon as she had got upstairs and slipped into her dressing gown, had dispatched her maid and ascertained that all the household had retired, sho read her husband's note, which briefly informed her that he had led an nil venturous life since they had parted, and had come back to see if .sho were living, when he sudde.ily heard that she was going to be mnrried.- Then Hosolys sat down at her writing lablo to begin somehow u letter to Lord Parkhurst. To write that was nn Im perative duty, before sho slept. It need not bo said that aw f ul, indeed, to her was its object, the letting Lord l'arjc liurst know that she had a. husband, and had scon him that day, Put she "ould not shape n single line, and tho 'vlsloncd uspeet that shri'would wear in his eyes, as soon as ho learned the truth of her history, wns so terrible to her that she burst into hysterical sobbing over tho paper as sho sat. to r-3 rcornxnr.D.J AN ARTIST'S INSPIRATION. Uunlile In Drair h l'lctnro Kxrept III tlio l'rrsenrn of n Certain Figure. Walter Hurrldge, the artist, tells n good story on himself and proves it by showing the blank space on the wall where tho picture, ono of the ac cessories of the tale, used to hang. Ho went ono day to the studio ot a friend and found there an anatomical figure, such as arc to bo seen in studios everywhere. It was a good one, and Hurridge wanted it, for his own hud been broken. Ho expressed n desire to have it, but the artist friend wouldn't give it up for any money. It was his inspiration, he said. lie needed it even for tin; composition of n letter. And as for drawing anything in tho human figure without it, that was simply nopcless. Ho couldn't spare it. So Hurridgo went away, llutunothsr day, while in the same studio, and in the nbseil'e of the owner, a third artist, who commonly shared the place aud worked there, said liurrldge could have the model if he wanted. The owner had concluded to get along without It. And about nn hour after tho owner came back. Ho sat down and tried to draw a wagon. Hut he couldn't, lie tried to writo u letter that had long been overdue. Hut he could not get his thoughts together. "Something is gone," said he. "I can't do anything. I have lost some thing." "Maybe It is your brains," said tho man who shared his room, "llurridu hns been over." "The figure!" cried the artist. "That's it." And ho started out. When he enme back he brought not only the figure, but n water color sketch as well. It had taken Jlurrldgo days to complete the picture, and it marked one of tho plcusantcst events in his so journ along the Grand canyon of tho Colorado. Hut it squared him. Chicago Herald.

Lord Dunrnven's statement concluded with the following language: "On 'the whole, my belief Is thnt the Defender Is the better of the two ves sels on the reach nnd thnt Valkyrie MI Is the better In turning to windward. We never enme on a run, owing to the wind shifting so much during the first race, but as running Is the Valkyrie's best point and seems to be the Defend er's -worst, Judging by her sailing ngnlnst the Vigilant, I consider the Val kyrie III the better ot thu two on the point of sailing nlso."

It has been concluded to take J30. V3 of the money belonging to thu In .HanB and spend It buying cattle for the ItidlanswhOjiyevpQBtock. Quito u. liumbur of JthrMtiiuans' are In the stock uuslncss successfully, but It happens that a large number of Indians have not Improved their time In this way, ind have nothing. The plan us repre sented will be In the lino of Interesting the Indians In the cattle business, using; tribal funds. The claim Is made thnt the coterie of cattlemen who have the leases In that country by the grace of Captain Baldwin, Colonel Cobb and the iccretnry of the Interior, nro Interested very much In the mntter ot tho Im provident Indians belnc provided with .'attic. The plnn Is, of course, to secure the cnttle from the parties working up the enterprise, nnd work the whole thing arounu to a plain and simple bus iness proposition that all can under stand and enjoy. It Is not suspected that Secretary I'mlth, In his ofllclal conferences with Captain Baldwin about the well known cattle leases In the Indian country, will tonsumnte nny plan to open to settle ment the Wichita reservation, which tho secretnry continues tq lease accord ing to law enacted by congress. It Is not believed thnt the secretnry will, even at this time, concede that his friends who have leases In that country nnd who have the "pull" to get them renewed, shnll be thrown off and the tountry opened up to settlement. The Impression prevails that tho reserva tion will be worked In the old-lime fnsh Ion, to keeii It out of the hands of the .ettlers. Of course, to open It to settle ment, tho funds arising from leasing It out very cheap would stop, nnd It would be against tho policy of tho ad ministration to do this. The reserva tion will be In the hands of the Colonel Cobb-Smith combination one more year unless something is done to shake, them down and force them to give the set tlers a chance. There Is one comfort In the belief, however, thnt It will likely be Impossible lo get any other secre tary of the Interior who will continue to favor the cattlemen under well known conditions against law and the demand ot the homeseckers. Delegate Flynn has a programme that will be of special interest tnOk!a hotnans. Mr. Flynn, very early In the coming',, stsslon, will present n "resolution to hnvc a committee appointed to Investi gate the whole record of official degra dation In Oklahoma. The committee will he Instructed to makt Inquiry into how It Is thntt the secretary,of the, in terior continues to -leuse the Wichita, reservation to n coterie of fellows who have employed Colonel Cobb, of Gaines ville, Ga., aud how It Is that the.-flrst leases made by the secretary have'hehl good all the while, they belnit simply "continued." Instead of new advertise ments nnd better prices being secured for grassing privileges. The commutes will be directed to look Into the matter nt this end of the line, ns well as In Oklahoma, and possibly they will rakei up some Interesting data about finan cial manipulations, many Intimations covering the situation having been gen erally printed throughout the country. Mr. Flynn will also have the com mute empowered to look Into the mnt ter of over charges In tho land ofllces of Oklahoma by the carpetbag officials Injected Into that country during this administration, and for use In the sen atorial contest In Georgia. Some tlm ago a communication was Bent to the secretnry of the interior, stating that certain Innd ofllclals were charging IK cents per hundred words for all typo writing done for the settlers. The clalmnnt Is knocked down for thin amount In his business at the land olllce. while ut the same time the ofllc lals have nrrnnzed with a clerk to do the work for G cents per hundred words. This Is supposed lo leave a difference with some one besides the clerk who does the work, amounting io $5,000 per yenr. This matter will receive the at tention of the drag-net committee. As the secretnry of the Interior has been too busy nttendlng to unofllclal matters to look after the matter, when It was presented to him. It Is proposed to furnish him a little nld In finding out the exact condition of things. The justices presiding over the(Okla homa courts will, of course, be delight ed to have their methods looked Into by n special committee, and they wilt be called upon. Thn. of course. It is understood that United Stales Marshal Nix will be delighted to hnvc full in quiry made Into how It Is his deputies chase clleged timber thieves a hundred miles beyond a commissioner and do ing the traveling for the purpose of get ting the mileage. Justice McAtce. as represented ut the department has been trying to prevent this game in his dis trict, and for his efforts he has been pounced upon Indirectly about another matter In the department. The attorney general has been asked to pass on the matter of deputy mar shals working over mileage for the pur pose of beating the government out. of funds, and Mr. Harmon Is expected to pass on this In due time, after he re turns from the Ohio campaign. In duo time the Georgia official depravity In jected Into Oklahoma wlll.be examined to some extent by a committee of the house, and In addition to Inquiring into outrages being practiced now dally nn the people o Oklahoma, the committee will take some notice of the outrages committed on the strip settlers.
