VERY NICE TO rAititt. e los deera Ar bntlo 3tOrt$0,* 311 DXETER APPLEDORE PAR To Rath'esurnriee be did uot repeat his invitation. After n few more words with Bryant about Appledore and its present tenant, he tookids leave, his manner tothe giti being the same as his greeting had been —friendly, but entirely indiffereut. Aa Soon as' the visitor had left then), Bryant looked gravely at his daughter. "Why do you grudge me a little ohmage ?" he said in the pathetic tone which he kneW had power -to move her, "Why' won't you let me go to Munby I am pith well now —you know I am." Ruth stood thinking. Her difficulties were thickening. She hed always believed that she had hastened her fatlaer's second seizure by her confession, to bine on the eve of her Marriage. She fended that his mem- ory had been affected by this last illness, for he had often smoke to her of Michael es if he were ignorant that she oared for some one else. • His manner to Mr. Beviugton to -day had shown her that he did not in any way suspect the relations between them. It wag, she coneidered, essential for her father's oaks that he should never learn the troth: "I did nob knciw you oared for change, dear," she said lovingly. "I aro only think- ing of Michael. Ibis not my ftiacy ; indeed it is not, The last time he came to Apple - clime he spoke very harshly of Mr. Beving. ton, and I promised him I woMd not will- ingly see this gentleman again. Do you not think that my husband would have a right to be angry if we were to accept Mr. levington's hospitality ?" Bryant looked disappointed and fretful. "That's :Silvery well now," he said, "but you must excuse me for saying you are in- consistent. If Michael told you this, how was it that you stayed talking on the beach alone with this young man ?" He was looking at her inquisitively, and the girl shivered at the danger before her. She waited no collect her thoughts before she answered: "I was telling Mr. Bevington what I had promised; I let him know that my husband does not like him." Bryant's face flushed with vexation. "That was extremely imprudent and un. necessary. You are wise for a womantRuth, but still you are only a woman. No man would have said such a thing. I am sure it was very goodneatured of the young fel- low to armee and see me after such an it - salt. I'll tell you what it is, my dear, I don't want to hurt you, and I know there's no use in meddling between man and wife, but there's something about Michael's be. haviour to you that doesn't satisfy me. I know he sacrificed himself on my account —tee doctor told me as much when he came to see us of—but what I don't understand is this continued absence. He must come back to Purley now and again. ''Well,then, why don't he T1111 over to see you V' Ruth put her hand over her face, and he thought she was crying. " There, there, deer child 1" he said; "forgive me I Try and forget whatI've said. I know • you feel as I do that After what Michael's done for me I ought not to seer a word against him, or dispute his wishes. Well I won't say any more. Kiss me darling; and you shall help me write a letter to Mr. Bevington. I'll let him see that we can't accept his kindness once for all," CHAPTER XXXII. Philip Bryant waa-right when he said Michael Clifford naust Sometimes have gone back to Purley. He did not know thtit on these occasions Michel had contrived to make his stay as short as possible. His anger against Ruth ihadsudsided; he had not been alas, to sustain t, and he so ardently longed for an excuse to present himself at the cottage that he was afraid to remain in Purley, lest he might be tempt -ed against hite better judgment to Visit Dolmouth. He knew that his best hope of winning his wife's love lay in avoiding her till she should make the first ad- vance to reconciliation. He could not now go back to his first idea of trying little by little to win Ruth's love; their last meet- ing had made that hope impossible. Ere would not now take Ruth as hie wife till he had proof that she no longer loved this other man. He told himself angrily when this thought came that she ought never to have thought of Reginald Bevington as a lover. Clifford's own love, however, was Ruth's best advocate on this point; he could judge her feelings by his own. He knew that he ought not to allow himself to care for her as he did, but when he pried to think this out and go back to the beginning he could not find a clew to guide him. He could not possibly fix a time when he had not loved the girleeit seemed to him that he had always thought of her in one way, and had longed to have her for his wife. His love seemed to go back to her very young days, when she was still studying with her grand- father, and when Michael had only had occasional glimpses c f her, and had dreamed out a possible future as he rode back to Parley. Only one fact stood out clearly revealed to him as he thought of his disastrous marriage. If Ruth could not bring herself to love him his life was irretrievably mar- red. He knew that he could not thine of any other woman, even if it were possible to free himself from Ruth. She had even come between bins and Dorothy, for he could not forge this sisters' just and wet - founded warning, and he could not forget the jar it had caused between them. He had invited himself to spend Christ. was with his brother in Scotland, and he was now on his way. He hoped to per. suede Dorothy to come and stay with him at parley as goon as hie house was ready. At present the brick -layers were idle; there had been a sharp frost for a fortnight, and this seemed likely to continue. Ti the weather should change before the end of January the builder &soured Mr. Clifferd the house could be ready for occupation by March. Clifford longed to be at home agalte and yet he was now asking himself what excuee he should make when the house was ready to receive het, for hie wife's continued absence. It was a relief to reach the end of hie journey. Late ae it was he rejoiced to see that his brother lived on the feather side of the little town of Dalgarno. There Was glimmer enough left to show hihi that the square house stood by iteelf in its own grounds main the country." The sight of Dorothy was very cheering. She looked stronger and healthier than he had ever Seth her, and he was rejoiced to see hie tall, bronzed brother whom he had not seen for More than a year. At breakfast next morning he was intro - dined to his two nieces, Maggie and Lucy. Since he had eon them they' had passed from children /MOa oeaple of fair-001mA dark -eyed girls. They reminded him of their fair, eweet Scotch mother ; they had her yellow hair and her eat, kind voice:, with their father's da 'it eyes, and tall, erect fignre. It pleased Michael to see how devoted they 'were to Aunt Dorothy," and he Was surprised to see the change whieh increased respemsibilities had worked in Dorothy. She was twice as brisk, ;r -ore like the thoughtful mether of a family than the petted invalid she had been at Purley, "You are stronger, are you not ?" he said to her. "I hope so," she answered, "but do you know I begin to think I might have done a, great deal more than I did ae Purley if you had not spoiled me. You see I had grown to think your notion that I was not strong enough to be useful was correct. Instead of trying to find out for myeelf, how much I really could do, 1 simply indulged myself at your expense." It was delightful to Michael after hit long solitude from all family ties to find himself once moreavitla those who loved him. It was especially delightful to be again with Dorothy ; but for a day or two he avoided any opportunity of finding himself alone with his sister. Dorothy had divined this avoidance ; she also shrank from a talk which muet neces- sarily turn on her brother's marriage. Hitherto she had only slacken,of his wife when she inquired for her and for Mr. Bryant. At last the chance came, David Clifford took his daughters into•Edinburgh to see an old friend of their mother's, and Michael said he should ets.y at home with Dorothy and take a walk with her on the' moor behind the house. The house stood alone. In front there was a view of the river backed by fields, but behind was a wide -spreading moor that stretched up, heather -covered, to the pine, drowned hill. The sun was shining brightly, and Dore- thy's pale cheeks glowed with the keen, bleak air and exercise as she led the way across the moor. "I wish you could have seen this heather in autumn," she said; "it was such a glorious purple against the blue-greenof the pines I Those brown masses of faded blossoms show you what it was. Higher up the heather grows so deep that when I played 'hide-and-seek' with Maggie and Lucy they could not find me; I only had to sit down and the ling bushes hid me com- pletely." Dorothy's "hide-and-seek" amused Mich- ael. • "I'm afraid Purley will seem very slow and dull after Dalgarno," he said; "and yet, dear, I want you to come to me for awhile, when the house is free of work - people." Dorothy looked up at him, and she saw that he was smiling, as he waited for her answer. "You will not wane me then," she said; "you will have your wife." He did not leek vexed; he seemed to have his answer ready. • "I hardly think so, Dr. Buchan told me that Mr. Bryant has a very weak heart; he does not think he can live long. I doubt if he could bear the fatigue, of another move. Buchan considers that fresh seizure would carry him off.; he says the pure air and the quiet of a place like Dohnouth are more likely to prolong my old friend's life than a market -town, which occasionally has some stir and bustle in it. Don't you think it would be really selfish to ask my wife to bring her father to live in Purley ?" "I always told you you were like Sir Galahad, Michael," she said impetuous- ly. "You are too good in this case. I only wonder how your wife can bear to stay away from you; I suppose she is very good too." She felt that her lip was curling, and she also felt that she was on very ten- der ground. She suddenly stooped to gather a tuft of moss which lay gleaming, a brilliant,- tender green., at the bottom of a little heath pool thawed by `the warm sunshine. She did not see her brother suddenly redden under his stern mask of self-control. "My wife is extremely unselfish, Doro- thy. I can't bear to think what the leas of her father will be to her." Dorothy felt irritable. It was natural, she thought, that Ruth should be fond of her father, and all theselnonthe the devot- ed sister had been trying to accept Michael's very singular arrangements in the light he gave them; but in Dorothy's opinion a woman's love for her husband must exceed any mere family affection—especially when Michael was the husband in queestion. She gave him a cheering smile. "Ruth will grieve a good deal, my dear boy, but she will get over it. Time ie a wonderful healer'and I'm sure she Will resign herself to God's will. You will go to her at ones when it happens, will you riot? And you will certainly be able to comfort her.'• "I hope so." He turned from the sub- ject and began hurridly to tell her about his last foreign journey. He had come home through Germany and he had met with some amusing experiences in, his en- deavors to make himself 'understood. He made his sister laugh till she quite forgot her discontent about Ruth. "If she only knew the truth," Michael said to himself as they went back to the house, "if she •could only guess it how angry my little Dorothy would be I" He told himself she should never learn it. No one should ever know how Ruth had deceived him. He meant that part of their lives to be a buried, memory between him and his wife. Dorothyshouldnever know it. Hie vislit to Dalgarno had done him good; he was becoming hopeful. The rest from incessant work, the freshness of his surroundings, and the delight of being with those of whose affections he felt sure, had helped to heal the heart -wound he had received on his visit to Appledore. He took walks with his brother; he skated with his nieces, who were extremely elated by their uncle's companionship; but at the end of a week his restleeenees - had returned. - At breakfast he told his brother and Dorothy that he was due next day in Nor,foflk. ‘Ithe house is ready," he said, to David, "you will spare Dorothy to me at Raster ? And why should you not come too, David, for a few days—you and the girls?" s , So it •was eettled, and Michael announced his intention of travelling by the night express to his destination. Ile Said he had taken a most unusual holiday, and that he must make up f QV it by saving as much time as possible. 0.You will not have shirted before Iconic llama," David said, "I shall bring the sseolla Past, ancl who knows but that I may bring in Something to change your mind ?" Miehael smiled; he had promised to take his nieces to play golf some distance off, and the expedition would take the best part of the clay, as they were to lunch at a T I111.t S friends house. Dorothy walked part of the way with them, and mine home rather of Michael's wish that she ehM,11(1 s'o bitch Sealy by. herself. She smiled as she thought to Purley; elm determined if he did net forbid it that she woalid go over to Dol. mouth and make acquaintance with Ruth, It ivOuld humanize the relations between them; for Ruth's answer to Dorethies letter on her marriage had been so formal that it was evident she did no wish for a corres- pondence. And also the astute Dorothy promised herself to discover whether Rath could not be persuaded to give up her watch over her father for a few weeks and devote herself to her husband, "I am much better fitted to take care of MrsBryant now than I was when he came toPurley," she said rejoicing in her new etook of health; The golfing party did not reach home Long before David did. The girls, full of excitementund delight, gathered round their father, buzzing out all they had to tell, especially to recount Uncle 1Vlichaers exploits ; while their allele was busy with the contents of a packet of letters brought in for him by hie brother, Dorothy sat watching Michael; and she sew that he kept one letter in his hand while he read the others. She guessed that the reserved letter was from his wife, and when he had left the room she felt sure that he had gone to enjoy the letter in private. The others went away, but Dorothy sat waiting till Michael came back. She saw as be entered his face was Jul], of suffering; he came up to her and in a low, dejected tone; "Something very sad has happened, dear. My poor old friend has gone. • Ruth bee lost her father." Dorothy stared at him in wonder'; he seemed unhinged, 'utterly cast down, and yet he had himself said that Mr. Bryant had not long to live. She pulled herself to- gether and thought of Ruth and her sorrow. "Poor girl !" she said tenderly; " you will go to her at once,won't you, Michael?" His face hardened as she looked at him. "I cannot," he said roughly ; " I am clue at Norwich to -morrow; two hard -worked business men are coming to meet me there the day after to -morrow; I cannot break the appointment. And there is something else of a pressing nature; I am asked by a man who has always been one of my best friends to go with him to look at some land considerably.south of Vienna. We have to start in three days; I do not see howl can go to Ruth." ' porothy was staring at him in utter sur- prise. "But, Michael,you must go to your wife. How can she manage all alone! There will be the funeral, you know." "That will be over by now; she did not write directly,and the letter has been de- layed by going to Purley. I suppose she thought I had returned. I had not told her I had lengthened my visit here." He paused and began to walk up and down the room. Presently he came back to his sister. "I want you to do something for me, Dorothy. „I want you to go to Ruth," Dorothy ' felt in a mist; she began to think that Michael and his wife had cer- tainly quarrelled. She had thought it strange that he had not spent Christmas at Dohnouth; yet if there had been a coolness , between them she fancied that Ruth's piesent sorrow ought to heal any cause of disagreement. " I will go if you wish it," she said slowly, "and I will do all loan; but I am afraid I crtnnot be of much use in comfort- ing a person I have never tieen. "I know, you better than you know yourself," he answered. "You will be able to help and comfort Ruth. You knew her, father and you liked him; and I am sure "the longs for sympathy, though she says she wiehes to be alonelust at first. If you can be ready to start in two days' time I will write and telLher to expect you. She must not be alone, even if she wishes ib." " Of course not--" Dorothy hesitated; she up at her brother's saddened face. "I know I ought not to interfere" [she felt almost too 'nervous to get her words out], "but Michael dear, if you could only • go to her for a day it would be so much better in every way." Dorothy oould not understand her brother's conduct:. Of course his wife ought to have summoned him at once, but the poor thing had perhaps been stupefied with her sorrow just at first. "I dare say it Was all very sudden," she•adcl- ed softly. "Ruth does not enter into detail she only says there was another seizure and there was no return of consciousness. She called in the Dolmouth doctor, and he told her it would be useless to summon Buchan, She says all Was over before Buchan could have reachedDolmouth. The rector there has been very kind. Once for all, I 04/1110V go to her ; if you will take my place it will be a great relief to me to knovr you are with her." " I will go whenever you. like, Michael." He had decided to put coffins own start till to -morrow, and he now sat down beside Dorothy and Planne'd out her journey with his usual rapidity. He told- her that he should probably be absent two months, and that when he returned to Purley, if the house was still unfinished, he should join her and Ruth at Dohnouth. During the evening he and Dorothy were unusually silent. His strange abruptness had convinced the loving sister that there was some mystery, between. Michael and his wife which he did not care to explain. Meanwhile Michael was in a strange state of alternate hope and depression, He wonderedwhatDorothy would have thought of his wife's letter. At night when he went to his room he read it through again. Ruth began by telling him tffiet her father had died three days. before; she told this simply, but with a sadness that brought tears to her husband's eyes.. She said the rector had been very kind to her, and had helped her in making arrangements for the funeral. "lam Sure," the letter went on, "your first feeling will be to come to me in my trouble. I entreat you not to do. this ;I could not bear it. Please leave ine"to myself. I owe you too much already, and 1 do not wish to add to the .debt. No, Michael; it, is not only that, I must tell, you the whole truth. I am trying to look at my future life really, and by God's help I hope to do my duty to you, whether you forgive me or not. But do not let us meet yet; let things take their course. If we force ourselves to be friends, if we meet now, it will only Make our future, what- ever that may beamore diffleult. Do not come to DolmOuth ; but now that I am alone, if you will sometimes Write to me I shall be thankful to get your letters." Michael felt less hopeful when he had tend the letter again. "Women are governA:by their feelings he said to himself. "Her father's death has made her penitent ata emotional. She perhaps feels that she has unsettled and spoiled my life, If she were really sorry elle would be glad to give some proof of it, she would have asked me to come to her and the would have written at once." He grieved for the loss of hie old friend and for Ruth's bet the sore ill-used 'feeling had come baok, lie oeuld uot bring himself to forgive his wife's persis- tent avoidance of him, or to feel as kindly towards her as he bed been feeling When her Letter reached WM. (TO DE oolasnatualn.) ECHOES OF THE CREAT STRIKE. , The HeSi Weapon or the laboring Classes IS the Dallot, Withlbe lingering echoes of the great and clisaetrous strike in the United States its folly and infutility is beginning to dawn upon its promoters and chief sufferers. Once more the unequal contest between capital and labor has been decided in fever of the army which was best supplied with the sinews of war. The great railroad strike, as did also the coal strike, has ended in disaster to the poor end the triumph of the rich. The reports of statisticians give the logs in the last strike alone at from $90,000,000 to $100,000,000, without includ- ing indirect loss in curtailing the summer traffic and delaying the delivery of manu- factured seasonable goods. Of this nearly $70,000,000 was lost by the workingmen. What a fearful goat in misery and suffering this unequal struggle has entailed upon the helpless and innocent dependents of labor. The best and most effective weapon of organized labor is not that which strikes down by starvation its helpless and de- pendent wives and little ones. The beet weapon of the workingman, both for de- fence and. _offence is the ballot, and until organized labor goes as a solidified aggres- sive army into the arena of politics aid strikes at the root of industrial oppression there cap be no amicable adjustment of labor disputes and legalized protection of the weak against the strong. Once let the labor element assert its powers by obtaining control Of Parliament, and strikes will cease because labor will be the power supreme in the framing of social and other legislation. A strike is a contest between a weak, unarmed main with a helpless family dragging,at his waist, and a well. fed, well -armed opponent, clad in the ar- mor of wealth, with starvation standing over to umpire the fight. COREANS STARVING. Munger the Most Decided Foe They Have to Contend With. Mr. Ye Sung Soo, Corean Charge d'Aff- aires at Washington has recently received espitches from Seoul which reveal a most alarming and pitiful condition of affairs among the people of that rocky peninsula. A long letter from his son, written some time before the Chinese and Japan troops invaaed the country, confirms beyond all doubt the belief that the most decided foe the people of the little kingdom have to contend with is starvation. Hundreds are ding daily. .Some struggle_ ,to maintain themselves, but others commit suicide rath- er than contend against hopeless chances. . This horrible condition has been brought a,boutley the failure of the -crops for two suc- cessive years. Last year theywere ruined be- cause there was too much rain, which wash- ed away all that was planted and growing. This year there has been a long -continued, drought, which has been equally disas- trous. The suffering produced by these events among a population• of ten millions of people who are strictly agricultural is very great. Farming is the onlyindustry of Corea, and although there is some money in cir- culation, it is very little, and the Govern- ment in nollecting taxes for its support is forced tri take rice, grain; beans, and'even horses and cows. Last year the Government storehouses were thrown open to supply the people with. food and seed. This year the store- houses were empty. Then (allowed riot and rebellion among the natives, who were starving. It was this rebellion that brought the troops of China and Japan. What food and provision were left have beentakenby theinvading armies. , The Japanese fleet has closed the princi- pal port, which is really the mouth of the kingdom, and the Chinese soldiers are quartered at the capital, or heart, and are playing sad havoc with it. ENGLISH TOURIST'S ADVENTURE. Suspended from,a Cliff While Gathering Wild Flowers. Mr. H. J. Staff,' a kj.verpool clerk on a touring trip in Ireland, has had a remark- able escape from death at Howth. On Tuesday evening he descended by the grassy slopes which lie some distance downward from the top of the cliffs for the purpose of gathering wild flowers. He was thus engaged at a point between the dee of Howth and the Bailey Lighthouse when he accidentally cnissed hie footing and went toppling 'downward. This occurred at -about 5:45 o'clock, and when he awoke to consciousness about 9 o'clock, three hours afterward, Mr. Staff found himself resting on a platform abopt a foot wide, lying between two ledges of rock, and on hich some stones and herbage had accumulated. The intervening three hours were passed in merciful oblivion. His position was one calculated to make -the stoutest heart Oral. Above him the cliffs towered to a height of 200 feet, while the waves played 100 feet beneath him. Here he was, suspended between heaven and earth, with only an insecure resting place intervening between him and almost certain death. He called for assistance, but in vain. As the night wore on he still continued to call at inter. vale, but still no answer came. Morning at length broke, and with it came rescue About 7 o'clock John Leyland and Andrew Moore, two fishermen, were engaged in hauling lobster pots, when the cries from the cliff reached them. They saw the awful position of the man on his perilous petch. They rowed the boat to a point beneath. him, said Leyland attempted to climb to his assistatice, balmn vain. Moore advised him to return to the boat, and he did so, and both men tented to Howth for assistance. The knowledge of the coming help inspired the poor fellow with renewed courage. The the, on arriving at Ilowth, acquainted the police with the state of °Rant, and ultimately, after further exciting scenes, a rescue party of coast guardsmen succeeded in removing the unfortunate man frotrahis perilous position; no sooner had they done so than the plat- form of rock came crashing to the foot of the cliff.
