THE SILVER STREAM.
CHAPTER III..
On the morning following, before Pen-
craig was awake, Colonel Sdobell had
fished his favorite stream, aided .and
abetted by the gardener ;s boy, a pre-
cocious youth, intended eventually for
a naturalist or a poacher, as the gods
deereed, and succeeded in catching three
fish. The three shining monsters were
carried up to the house in triumph, and
laid on a stone in the dairy, where a
well -attended levee was held till break-
fast -time. So delighted was the Colonel
with this unique accomplishment, that
in the exuberance of hie joy he proposed
a picnic down the river in honor of the
occasion. Mrs. Seethe'', always most
happy when her spouse was pleased, fell
in with this arrangement. There was
not a particularly large gathering at
the early breakfast, consisting of the
Moffat girls and our trio,•concluding
with Du Maurier, who had not yet brok-
en the direful tidings of his premature
departure, Miss Rashleigh did not put
in an appearance.
` We will go to Ross by water,' Mrs.
Scobeii explained. 'When we reach.
there. we will decide what further to do.
-Mr. Denton, I am told you are a capi-
tal. hand at arranging these little mat-
ters. Will you help me ?'
Denton laid down .his knife and fork,
and regarded his hostess. with a look
in which bewilderment and reproach
were amusingly blended. With Mal-
volio, he felt he had greatness thrust
upon him. 'My dear madam, some one
has libelled me cruelly. Would you
be surprised to hear that I never at-
tended such a function in my life?'
' Ob, in that case we must go,' said
the hostess good-naturedly. ' How
many shall we be ? There will be four
of us -all you girls, with Mr. Du Maur-
ier-no fewer than seventeen alto-
gether.'
' The invasion of Ross,' said Denton
with a forlorn air. `what a sensation
we shall create 1 The army of Pen-
oraig, under the corn mend of Colonel
Scobell.-Du Maurier, those knicker-
bockers of yours will cause a furor.'
The gallant Frenchman smiled, but
without his usual airy assurance. He
was by no means at ease. though he was
somewhat grateful to Denton for the
opportunity afforded. 'It is a great
disappointment, no doubt,' he said; 'but
I shall not be there. I have important
business calling me to town, and I shall
be compelled to go to Hereford to -day.
My charming hostess will forgive this
unavoidable termination to the pleasant-
est of visits ; but, ah ! the stern calls
of business ; I shall be forced to take my
leave early to -morrow.'
Phil looked up at the speaker, whose
eyes were fixed upon him nn a question -
mg manner, and nodded shortly. So
long as the fascinating Horace would
not be present at the fete, it was a mat-
ter of little moment whether he remain-
ed at Pencraig another night or not.
This decision was hone the less satisfac-
tory because Phil had no intention of
going himself. He had a little work to
do, and a great deal to think about. He
also had a clue in his hands, which, skil-
fully handled, would put an end to the
painful coldness between Beatrice and
himself. As he sat upon the terrace
smoking a matutinal cigarette, Denton
with a face of woe joined him.
The die is cast !' he said. 'We are to
go into Ross; though what we are going
to do there is a. soc: -1 problem beyond
ordinary urderstai,ding. I believe
there is a fine church there, where we
shall spend the customary ten minutes..
What follows I shudder to contemplate.'
"
What a humbug you are 1' Phil re-
torted. 'Just -as if you won't enjoy
yourself as well as the rest of them. I
know what the programme will be, well
enough. You will go down to Ross,
taking. care that you and Bertie pull the
gig pair with Gwen and Nellie Moffat.'
Not a bad idea,' said Denton, as if
such a plan hail •been furthest from his
thoughts. 'We have only to drop a hint
to some of the women that the gig is
not quite safe, and the thing is done. -
Now, as to yourself?'
` I shan't go -at least i don't think so.
I I have.some particular work to do.
Only leave me that little dingey for this
afternoon. I daresay 1 shall find time
for a pull upto Hoarwithy and back.'
Denton whistled softly ; he was too
much a man of the world to inquire the
reason for this unexpected determina-
tion.
'We shall be rather short. of the nobler
sex,in that case. Rashleigh eannot
R shit h a
g
favur us with his desirable company;
we shall mourn the absence of Holrace
the, incomparable in silent despair. -
What's to be done?'
But the unexpected arrival of three
Oxford undergraduates, who had rushed
over from Hereford owing to the collapse
of a ori^ket match, satisfactorily solved.
the problem. The. party re_olved itself
into a smaller one than had bean at
first anticipated, and as a matter of fact
the limited number of floating craft
rendered this imperative. It was past
eleven before the three boats got under
way, and slid gradually out of sight
round the bend. Phil stood upon the
tiny wooden pier watching them, and
smiling at the brilliant diplsimacy of
Dcnton's, which had been attended by
triumphant success. He was not quite
time., for Miss Edith.Moffat stood by
Lis side, an unmistakable pout disfigur-
ng�her pretty tips.
'It is too bad i' she exclaimed, with
tears in her voice. 'I am always left
out.'
They why didn't you say you wanted.
'o go '$' asked Phil with scant sympathy.
"1 here was plenty of rcom in•our boat.'
An April smile darted across Miss
Edith's piquant little face, a saucy smile
of meaning. There are four of them
1'. here, you know. And besides I heard
Mr. Trevor say the boat was not quite
safe. Wasn't it brave of Nell and Gwen
to risk such -horrible danger ?'
' Very,' said. Phil dryly. 'You are na-
turally a courageous family. Still, if
you can put up with such a common-
place cavalior as me, we will have a long
pull this afternoon.'
Delightful l� Only, there isn't a
boat.
Oh, I took care oC that. There is
plenty of room in the Itttle dingey, if
you only sit still, and exactly in the
centre. You and 1 will go as far as
Hoarwithy directly after luncheon, and
get back in time fore dinner,'

what you stayed behind for f' she ask-
ed abruptly.
Now, , I ,suppose that is what a wo-
man would call gratitude. --My dear
Edie, have yoU so soon forgotten the
moral precepts of your school -mistress?
But seriously, I have something im-
portant to do this morning. Don't ask
me auy questions, there is a good
child.'
' 1 a'm very sorry; Phil,' Miss Edith
replied with humility. If you would
only let me help you a little. 1-1
understand that you'---
' You are a good little girl, and. I am
very grateful„ -No; you can't help me,
little one. 1 hoe everythingwill
come right in a few days. When it
does, you shall be the first to know.'
Phil Decie tvas not the kind of man
to make a confidant of any one; but
the quick warm-hearted sympathy had
touched him more deeply than he cared'
to own. Moreover, it was not like con-
fiding in a stranger, for the girl had
been an especial favorite of his ever
since he bad first known her an imper-
ious little beauty aged seven. There
had always been something in the
frank innocence of her great *ray eyes
that drew him towards her, Child as she
was, as one noble nature is attracted
by another. After this little inter-
change of sympathy, it came almost
like a shock to Phil when he encount-
ered Du Maurier strutting along the
terrace, smoking one of his everlasting
scented cigarettes.
The Frenchman's color rose as he saw
Deoie approaching. He bore the air.
and manner of one who conquers his
pride to ask a favor of an unrelenting
and implacable enemy-. ' You will .re-
collect our little conversation of last
night tt' he asked.
Um I I don't think it is likely eith-
er of us will forget it. Still, your mem-
ory seems to have proved somewhat
treacherous. I made a certain stipula-
tion as regards :the duration of your.
stayhere.'
• Which is precisely what I am going
to mention,' Du Maurier exclaimed.
found it was impossible.'
` lmpossible ?' Phil returned, his face
darkening. 'As for that'—
' Nay; hear me out, my impetuous
friend. It was impossible for me to go
to -day, for the simple reason that I
had not the means of taking myself
away from here. Yesterday, I sent a
telegram to a friend, who can and will
refuse me nothing' --
'Blackmail, probably,' Phil interrupt-
ed. -'Go on.'
It matters not to you,' continued the
Frenchman, with a flash of his glitter-
ing eyes, 'so long as that remittance
comes. I go into Hereford this after-
noon to get my letter, which shall wait
for me at the bureau. Bat to -morrow
mid-day shall see me gone.'
'I do not wish to be hard upon you,'
said Phil, with a slight feeling of com-
punction. `Neither did I seek this in-
formation. Still, I am satisfied.'
Du Maurier watched his rival as he
turned away. His long thin fingers
were tightly clenched, the cigarette in
his mouth was crushed between the even
white teeth in silent impotent. consum-
ing rage.
Ma tor, but it is aline thing to be one
of these English " aristocrats,' he said
with a deep respiration. 'So cool, so
contemptuous ! i would give all I pos-
sess to have my gentleman on a nice
level strip of turf with twelve paces be-
tween us. Still, I have my little re-
venge. La belle Rashleigh is proud
her self-respect is wounded. If it is not
Horace Du Maurier, it will never be.
M'sieu Decie.-Ah I if it had not been
for those bills 1' •
The dark scowl upon the French-
man's face gradually changed to a sour
smile. He rejoiced in a cat -like nature,
only capable of those petty meannesses
which make up the summer bonum of
some men's lives. He looked at his
watch. and finding it close upon twelve,
set out with apparent determination of
purpose across the fields. As he came
into the high -road at some distance be-
yond, there was another individual
awaiting him -Gerard Rashleigh. From
the expression of the young undergrad-
uate's face, the interview was neither
self sought nor pleasing.
'Al, i thought your would not keep me
wai ing,' ser I Du Mau ler. 'One can-
not be too. careful in a house like Pen-
craig, where no place is sacred against
intrusion. In one word, have you the
money l'
Money ? Where can I get it from
It was only.yesterday morning that you
promisee me another month.'
`Possibly, dear boy; only, this is a case
what you call Hobson's choice. Many
things have happened since yesterday.
Your friend Decie-to put it plainly -
insists upon my leaving Pencraig to-
morrow.'
'You don't mean that 1' Rashleigh ex-
claimed, every vestige of colour gone
from his oheeks- 'Under the circum-
stances he w•culd not dare' ----
'He has dared, all the same; and I shall
h ave to obey. See bow one suffers for
the little indiscretions of youth. It's
hard u o me.'
pn
'What 'particular rascality has Decie
got hold of?' Rashleigh asked blunt-
y'I do not like that word, sir, and I
will ask you to be careful. Still, as the
poet says, Arcades ambo'—
'Id est -blackguards both,' Rashleigh
finished. 'Oh, why be nice about ex-
pressions, particularly when they are
trues I wish to heaven I had never
seen you. _.I wish— But what is the
use of wishing? I am anxious to pay
you this money ; but I havent' got it,
and that's the long and short of it.
Some day; I shall make a clean breast
of the whol'i ih n '
But Du Maurier was too familiar with
these transient fits of repentance to
be seriously alarmed; he merely laughed
again and lighted another cigarette.
'It will be a black day for you when you
defy me,' said he 'You and l sink or
swim tcgether. If you with to return to
your buttercups and deletes, I shall not
hinder you. Pay me four hundred pounds
and. you are free.'
'I haven't four hundred pence,',Rash-
leigh replied doggedly.
`Perhaps not; but I will, show you how
to get it. Let us take a long walk ; it
will soothe your nerves and clear your
brain. And besides, I am going to show
you the way to rid yourself of Horace
Du Maurier, who, after all, is no great-
er scamp than you; only, he has the
pluck, and you are a coward.'
My dear child, so long as you come
home alive, you may do just what you
please,'she said..'Phil was always
ost trustworthy, even as a boy, an
I am sure you will be safe with him.'
There was'riot a ripple on the water as
the little craft left the landing -stage
and tcok'its we up -stream. Miss Edith
an y, p d h
sat with the crimson tiller ropes over
bar shoulders, looking over the sbinin
river before her from under the shade o.
a smart sailor hat with a truly nauti-,
cal air. It was so quiet and pleasant
there beneath the overhanging wil-
lows, and along through coot sombre
shades cast by the tress in the slopizig
moils. 'There Was ; ust this ,rhythmic

serenely. 'I overheard much the same

' Put it down to Tennyson or Shakes-

They had reached a broad bend in the
.river. where the stream widened, with
low sloping meadows upon the one bank,
and an eminence -upon which is situat-
ed the village of Hoarwithy-upon the
other. At this point the stream. takes
a, peculiar V shape, and is particularly
puzzling to the amateur oarsman. Demo,
pulling round. sharply to miss the fore-
shore. struck the blade against a solid
mass of rook and snapped it nearly off'
below the button.
' This is a pleasant thing,' he exclaim-
ed ruefully. -'Will you getout and wait
till the damage can be repaired, or stay
litre ?'
Miss Edith treated this proposal with
the scorn it 'merited. 'Get out ? Cer-
tainly not. --There is at least four yards
of mud between me and dry land. -No;
you shall row me under that delightful
shady alder, and fasten up. I don't
suppose there will be any danger of my
being spirited away till you return.
Making the best of his broken. im-
plements. Decie succeeded at length in
reaching. the desired haven; and having
fastened the dingey securely, scramble
up the bank with the fractured blade,
though not without detriment to his
spotless flannels, in search of the handy
man, without which no village is com-
plete. This individual, e bluff old
fisherman in : blue Guernseyfrock and
ducks, who combined the office of post-
man, publican, and carpenter of the vil-
lage, expressed a cheery opinion of the
damage. I can splice it as good as new
in half an hour, your honor,' said. he.
You'd better step inside, And if you'll
ask for the strawberry Norman,"
you'll get as good a glass of cider as a
man need wish to drink.'
As Phil knew both the man and his
cider by' reputation, hehad no hesitation
in taking the: hint, though it is not al -
'ways advisable to accept a west -coun-
tryman's dogmatic opinion upon this
patriotic subject on every occasion. As
Dade stood. in the little bar alone, he
was not a little astonished to hear from
the room beyond, the door of which was
only partially closed, the familiar voices
of Du Maurier and Gerard. Rashleigh.
He was still more surprised to hear his
own name so frequently mentioned.
' It's a blackguard thingto do,' Rash-
leigh exclaimed. 'I have done him harm
enough already. I. tell you ;I won't • do
it.'
' Not so loud: you don't want - the
whole parish to hear,' came the smooth
seductive tones of the Frenchman.
'Surely, you would not scruple at such
a litle thing, after what you have al-
ready donee -Ah, that little yellow tic-
ket was a masterpiece; a smooth touch
so artful that it looked like nature it-
self. Now that Miss Rashleigh is con-
vinced her lover is a thief'--
' Leave my sister out of it altogether,'
Rashleigh exclaimed passionately. 'I
tell you I won't have it. If it wasn't
that I was afraid of you, I would tell
Decie everything. -Why do you tempt
me? It can do you no good.'
' It will give me revenge. But you
have your alternative. To use one of
ycur sweet insular phrases, the borrower
is always the servant of -the lender. Pay
me what money you owe inc. and my
power is gone.'
Would to heaven I could ! There
would be no hesitation then.'
'Decie would be delighted to accom-
modate you,' sneered Du M.aurier. 'The
paltry hundreds would be cheerfully
paid, if you only cared to exercise this
new and interesting fit of honesty. Why
not ask him ?'
Because I have clone him 'too' much
harm already. Because. if you must
know, I am in his debt now. That
bracelet affair'—
Decie, conscious for the first time that
he was playing the part of an eaves-
dropper, stayed to hear no more. His
face was very stern and set as lie ' paid'1
for the repair of the blade, and passed
down the garden path with a curt
Good afternoon' to the village .genius.
'Seems as if he was upset,' rentarked
that worthy, 'and him so affable and
perlite at first. Maybe missis ha'
given he the "red streak" by mistake.'
For some minutes the boat was pro-
pelled
towards Pencraig in silence. Miss
Edith regarded her companion demure-
ly from the unclouded serenity of her
gray eyes.`You are lookingami-
able,'
Y very
able,' she observed in the sweetest tones.
'You must have heard some particularly
good news ; that is, if your hurry to get
back is any criterion.'
Do I look amiable?' said Decie with
an effort -'more amiable ' than usuOI ?
I have heard something ; but whether
it is good or bad, for the life of me I
can't tell.' And with this enigmatic re-
mark Miss Edith was fain to be content.

Elteetrie Illumination in London.
An English paper states that London
oculists are up in arms against the very
serious danger to the community caused
by the electric light. Several eminent
eye doctors are agreed on the point that
unless a stop is put, to the exposure of
uncovered electric lights in the streets
IN THE FAR EAST.
Lord Roberts Says England :Pleat Remain
Mistress of tite Seas and Have a Great
Army or Lose Her Contgtere ai Snprcet
Rey.
A despatch from London says: The
slow development of the Turkish crisis
is enabling far-sighted Englishmen to
give more attention to the situation in
the far East, which, it is beginning to
be recognized, is fraught with greater
dangers to British interests than the
Constantinople diffioulties, The most
significant words yet spoken on this
subject are contained in an important
speeoh on Wednesday by Lord Roberts,
who is now only one of England's high-
est military authorities, but is a man
who possesses an intimate knowledge
of the whole question of the Indian
Empire and its relations with the China
and Japan trade. His most pregnant
sentence was:
' If England intends to maintain her
commercial supremacy in the East she
must be prepared for events even more
startling and unex teoted than those
which have occurred in the past twelve
months."
Lord Roberts then proceeded to give
definiteness to his remarks by intimat-
ing in pretty plain language that the
British India possessions are distinctly
threatened. Ile argued that the policy
of keeping ourselves to ourselves and
disregarding everything that takes place
beyond the frontier on the northwest
of India is no longer applicable to the
present conditions under which the Eng-
lish occupy India. The question as to
the proper means for securing the in-
tegrity of India, is not merely a mili-
tary question, but equally urent from
a political point of view. He would,
therefore, not further enlarge on the
matter. The moral to be drawnwas
that if England hoped to hold her own
as one of the great powers and retain
her foreign possessions she must, cost
what it might, be mistress of the seas,
and besides having a sufficiency of war
ships and a full complement of sailors
to man them, she must have a well or-
ganized, well equipped, well trained
army ready to be 'transported wherever
the presence of British soldiers is re-
quired.
TALES ABOUT TENANTS.
Fnnnyl Experiences or Lanttlorels 'WHO
Those tt % Ito Pay Rent.
The amusing story which has lately
gone the rounds of the English papers,
about the lady novelist who, having en-
tered upon the tenancy of` a rickety
dwelling, asking the landlord of the
same that she might be ' allowed to
name . it, and then had "Jerry -Built
Hut " carved upon ,the front, has had
many parallels of late years.
Not very long ago a •scarcastic ten-
ant advertised in several newspapers
to the following effect: " Wanted, by
gentleman who agreed to leave dwell-
ing occupied by him as be found it on
entering same 100,000 lively black bee-
tles,' 'and then followed the advertiser's
private address. Not very long ago,
too, a case was reported in the papers,
in which it appeared that the owner
of a flat had given notice to quit to a
lady whose tenancy of the flat had
only just commenced, and who had,at
great expense, had the rooms newly
papered and decorated. When this
lady received the notice to quit she
and her maid promptly set to work
with the . black -lead and blacking
brushes respectively, and the wbilom
flower -besprinkled walls soon assumed
a. most funereal hue.
Some little time since a well-
known
barrister -a lawyer• certainly 'ought to
have read the tenancy, agreement -on:,
entering upon a house in a fashionable
west end row, unwittingly bound him-
self to paint the whole of the exterior.
of the dwelling. On finding what an
'expense he had made himself liable
for, he remonstrated with the land-
lord, who simply smiled and declared
that the bond must be fulfilled. Then
did the wily barrister cause the whole
front of his house to be painted in
strips of vivid green, yellow and pink
greatly. to the chagrin of the fashion-
able s who were th
e neighbors, r
abl a tenants
g
of the same landlord. In vain did the
landlord storm; the barrister tenant
threatened, unless the bond were can-
celed to have the back of the house
painted like a. rainbow, with huge black
spots covering it at intervals. Agree-
ment canceled,
and in shops and offices, nearly all the i
population will become blind., Hxperts
are so greatly exercised in the matter
that they even suggest that Parliament I
should take it up and prohibit the use
of plain glass globes for electric, light
unless they be properly shaded. Goa-
menting on this; a London electrical
journal 'says: "It is not customary to.
Look at the sun,and not even the most
enthusiastic electrician' would suggest
that naked arcs and incandescent fila-,
meats were objects to be gazed at with-
out limit. But nakedarc lights are ,
not usually placed so as to come within
tho tine of stght, and when they do so
accidentally, whatever may result, the ;.
injury to the eye is ciuite negligible. The
filament of a glow lamp, on the other
hand, is more likely to meet the eye,
but a frosted bulb is an extremely sitnw
pie and common way of entirely get-
ting overthat difficulty. The whole
trouble can easily be remedied by the
use of properly- frosted or colored glass
globes. ' In any ease, however, the ac-
tual permanent injury to the eye by
i;hs glowing filament is noreater than
that due to an ordinary gas flame."
