Got a place ?" " Won. in a canter," answered. Gilbert, flinginegnimself into a chair, and wiP- ing. his damp forehead. " Never saw such a horse. There's nothing to beat him. I was rht about him, YG" sea." "Jackson was right about bim, you mean. Have some dinner ?" said Mr. Wyatt, ringing the bell. " Thanks, I've ordered some, I don't stand upon punetilio with eou, you see." " I should be sorry if you did. Well, you've made a heap of money, I sup- pose." " Yes, it's a pretty good haul. Jack. - son raved like a lunatio about the horse. I was to put on every sixpence I had. I told the felloW I should he ruined if Goblin lost. Ile Won't lose,' raved Jeekson, (lantana about, like a manilla. • You don't know what that hoss can do.

I was bound to believe be the horse after that, wasn't 1?" " Yes, if you could believe in the, train- er." "Well, the result has shown that he told me the truth. Oh, here comes the dinner." Gilbert made a. weak attempt to eat sonee fish, ann a still wea,lair attempt at a plate of lamb, but foiled in both efforts. "1''e no appetite," ie said. better give me a brandy and soda." " How many bran.lies and sodas have you had to -day. ?" asked Wyatt, with an air of friendly anxiety, that tone of an easy-going mentor wilieh long use had made natural to him. It James Wyatte' clients went to the dogs, their ruin could never be laid at his door. He gave them sui.h good advice upon the way, and parted with them with a, friendly shake Wants at the last, just before the dogs rat them. " Do you suppc.se I counted them?" demanded C.'llbert, with a laugh. "The sun was hot, and I was excited about Goblin. I had it poeket full of silver and it's all gone, and .L don't think I've paid for anything except brandy and soda. That's a rough way of calculat- ing." " You've been drinking too much baataly, Gilbert." ' That's my lookout." " Try some of that claret." "I'll have brandy or nothing." Mr. Wyatt sighed and rang the bell, and then filled a large, eool-looking glass with the Letitia, which he sip- ped in a calmly appreciative manner, with the air Of,L man who had never been thirsty in his life. "Yes, Jim," began Gilbert, harking back, " I've macle a tidy haul to -day, and I expect a bigger hieul. on Wednes- day fortnight. And now, old fellow, I want you to do me a favor." "Find a good inveetnaent for your winnings ? With pleasure. I can get you a safe seven per cent." "Thanks that's not the favor Imean.

The soberer .and calmer man had the better of mere, brute force. Janes Wyatt shook off his assailant as easily as if he had been the athlete, and Gil- bert the thinker and plotter. " Fool 1" he ma:timed contem thous - p. "don't waste your breath al up- braiding me with treachery. Look at home.

"Wyatt, I shall strangle you if you don't put your meaning into the very plainest words!" "And perhaps strangle me if I do. meLst risk that, I suppose," said Mr. yatt, with a laugh. " Plainly, then, you should have made better use of your eyes that night, and seen through the disguise of a puir of smoke -colored spec- tacles and a gray wtg and beard. The man who came to your house with Lord. Clanyarde was Sir Cyprian Davenant." " It's a he I" cried Gilbert Sinclair. "It's as true as that your wife's re- covery dates from the hour of his vis- it." "You knew this -you -my legal ad- viser-friend-aiad you sold me estate to that man -knowing this!" cried Sin- clair, almost inarticulate with passion. "Again I must repeat that I never professed to be your friend. As your legal adviser, I had no right to inter- fere in your domestic affairs. As to the sale of the property, I can not see how that affects your position with Sir Cyp- rian." If Gilbert could have flown at the clair, with the amiable candor which is 1 man's throat again and strangledhint, sometimes induced by alcohol, "you're there might have been some satisfac- neae ttdie Acret of man. to play the cou.n- tion in that act of savagery.

You'll find county society a dead letter, dear boy, and it would he folly to keep up sucla a place as Davenant for the reception of a pack of young fools from London. You can pluck such pigeons anywhere." "How kind of you to be so Interestecl in ray business." "Nothing like candor between friends," said Gitbert. "And you. wantarne to sell DavenMet ? That's curious. You were red-hot to sell a few months ago." "1 was down on my luck just then. Things have changed for the better. And I find that I care raore for the place than I thought I did. And I shouldn't particularly like my neighbors to crow over me. It would look as if I were ruined to part with such a place as that." "What a complete change of tone I I suppose your wite's recovery has caused this alteration in your feelin.gs." Gilbert winced. It always stung him when James Wyatt spoke .of his wife. The man's tone implied some occult knowledge. Speak as courteously as he might, there was always a lurking sneer in his speech. " Come, Jim, I'll give you a handsome profit on your bargain. What more can you want? Name your own terms. I know you only bought the place as a speculation." "Suppose 1 did,and that the speculation has answered. How then?" "You mean that you have sold it again 3" "Within four -and -twenty hours of my purchase." "By Jove, that's sheep work!" cried Gilbert, bitterly disappointed. "But per- haps the man who bought it wouldtake a profit on his purchase." "Not much chance of that. The EMT who bought it would. have given me al- most any money for the place, if I heti been inclined to take advantage of nis eagerness to get it back again." " Back again!" cried. Gilbert, starting up with a vehemence that sent the soda - water bottles spinningacross tae table -" to get it back again 1 Then you've sold it to Sir Cyprian Davenant?" "That's the man,' answered. Wyatt, opening his cigar-caset and affecting an extreme deliberation in the choice of a cigar. "Jim Wyatt, you're a scoundrel. I" roared Sinclair. "That's strong and actionable into the bargain.

Mr. Wyatt was a man who would. not have kept a bad servant a, week, and never parted with it good one. The postman's knock sounded on the ponderous door while Mr. Wyatt was sipping his coffee, and Staples came in, with several letters on a silver wait- er.

If Lord Clanyarde had been within easy reach, Gilbert Sinclair would, have gone straightway to upbraid him with his treachery in bringing Sir Cyprian to Davenant disguised and in a false name; but Lord Cla,nyarde, finding him- self at fifty years of age entirely un- fettered by domestic incumbrances, was indulging his natural frivolity among more agreeable people than his serious and business -like fellow -countrymen.

Wm of the FaltletIS English Fighter. The most lionized man on the face of the globe this day is Li Huila Chang, C'hina's leading statesman and diplomat, says a correspondent. No reigning monarch could have been received at the European courts with greater raarks of respect, none could have been more sumptuously entertained than this yel- low -faced, almond -eyed, Richelieu. His whole European journey has been a fit- ting sequel to a singularly brilliant car.. (ter in his own country, where for well nigh forty years he has pulled the strings that kept the huge and unwielde ly governmental machine in motion. Still, even Li has bad lais troubles! And when I say this I am ziot only re- ferring to the temporary withdrawal of his yellow jacket or his peacock feath- er during the war with japan two years ago. Let us go a good deal further back than that --to the tiane when it formid- able rebellion threatened the very ex- istence of the reigning Manclin dynasty, and we find that on oae occasion, fort three long days and nights, the great Li was engaged in dodging in a most undignified manner an avenging neme- sis in the person of " Chinese " Gordon, Li was. it comparatively young mar, in those days, and presumably a good sprinter, and it is to this circumstance that he Probably owed itis salvation, for Gordon had sworn to riddle him with bullets on sight. How all this came about I will en- deavor to explain briefly as follows: La the year 1850 there broke out in the south of China a formidable insur- rection against =aeriel authority head- ed by a scboolmaster named Hung-tsue &Mien of -Taiping. This individual de- clared biniself to be AN EMISSARY FROM THE GODS sent to remove the Manchu dynasty and. to occupy the. throne of China. He styl- ed. himself the " IIeavenly Xing," gath- ered around his banners many thous- ands of followers, and by a bold dash captured the important and populous city of Nanking. With this place as a base of operations he organized it sys- tematic campaign against the Govern- ment forces, and, being uniformly vic- torious, began in 1860 to tbreaten Shang- hai and the other ports. It was at this juncture that the Chinese authorities bethought themselves of turning to the Europeans for aid, and two American adventurers named Ward and Burge - vine were commissioned by the Gover- nor of Shanghai to raise troops for the defence of the city. Ward's first military operation -an attack on a point called Sung -Kiang - was a failure, half his men, foreign sail- ors, being killed and the rest driven off. A second attaek, however, supported by several thousand -well-drilled. Imperial- ists, resulted in the capture of the place and the conferring on Ward's forces of the bombastic title of the "Ever Vic- torious Army." For a time fortune continued to smile on the imperialists' cause, Ward leading his men from vic- tory to victory. Then suddenly the tide turned. The Taipittgs received large re - enforcements from the interior, swept all opposition before them, bottled Ward's army up in Sung -Xiang and ad- vanced rapidly on Shanghai. It was a critical moment, and but for the energetic intercession of the foreign naval forces in the harbor, the town would doubtless have fallen a prey to the savage axed remorseless foe. In a desperate conflict on Aug. 18, 1869, out- side the city walls, the Taipings suf- fered A FIRST DEFEAT. Oday they were routed n the fol nd deiven back to nt. bels was Two ade be however, an unexpected opportunity presented itself to the besiegers. Sev- eral of the Taiping Generals, wearied of fighting in a hopeless cause, secret- ly approached Gordon with it proposi- tion to admit his trcetps into the city on a given date, providing their lives and liberties should be spared. The matter was referred to Li Hung Chang and a. solemn comaaet to that effect was at ones enterect into between the two parties, both Gordon and Li staking their honor on its faithful ful- filment. The consequence of this was that when the imperialists next ap- proached the city gates, they found no opposition, and. enteriug the townenant- ed the imperial, standard on the citadel. The honorable and chivalrous soldier that he was, Gordon's first thought af- ter the occupation of the town was for the Taiping leaders who had rendered the a.ohievement possible. But what was his dismay when he learned that they already had been placed in a row and decapitated behind the city gate, by Li's specia.I order. TEARS. OF POIGNANT GRIEF welled into his eyes, but they soon gave place to savage rage and an outbreak of vindictive, feeling, boding little good to his treacherous colleague. Arming Ineaself with a revolver,Gor- don rushed from bis tent in searele of hien. La it is said, got wind of his danger LH the nick of time, and being fleet of foot succeeded in distancing bis pursuer through the allyeways of tents in the gravel camp aud hiding laraself amid the area,y supplies in the commissariat department. The pur- suit, however, lasted in one way or the other for several days. Gordon was de- termined on vengeance and called upon his officers and men to heite hira find tae culprit, but to no avail. Li kept well out of sight and did not emerge from his hiding place, until, through the efforts of several nigh officials, the irate .Englishman's anger had been somewhat appeased. Gordon was, how- ever, thoroughly disgusted, and sent in his resignation to Pekin, and it took Imlay months of entreaty and persua- sion on the part of the Emperor to in- duce him to reconsider his -decision and coneplete his work of subduing the Taip- ing rebellion. When this was accom- plished he returned to England, after making his final peace with the crafty Li. THE VATICAN MUSEUM One Can There See Rome at Its Rest and at Its Worst.

There are more masterpieces, perhaps in Florence; possibly objects of greater value may be actumulated. itt the British Mu,seum, though tlaat is doabtful; but nowhere irt the world are statues and. antiquities so well arrang- ed as in the Vatican, and perhaps the orderly beauty of arrangement has 43 much to do as anything else with the cliarin that prevades the whole.

There was not a petty slight of days gone by, not a small insolence, for which he had not paid himself handsomely by to -night's work; but it was not to avenge the millionaire's petty slights and small insolences, not to uplift the wounded crest of his own self-esteem, viper-like, that he bad. stung his enemy. His hatred of Gitbert Sinclair had a deeper root than 'wounded pride. Dis- appointed love was its source. But for Gilbert Sinclair he might have been lov- ed by the one woman wh,ose regard he valued. Clara Walsingham's constancy to her old lover was the offense that made Gilbert loathsome to his quondam friend, and it was to gratify his own jealousy that he had aroused the de- af jealousy In bis rival's breast. " He shall know the flavor of the anguish he has caused me," thought Wyatt, "11 his coarse soul can suffer as I have suffered for a woman's sake, Whether his wife is guilty or innocent, matters nothing to me. The pain will be his. If he were raan enough to blow his brains out, now, there might be a chance for me with Clara. So long as he lives she. will cling to the hope of winning him back, 'Where is she hid. - Mg, I wonder, and what is her scheme of life, while I em wearing my life oat toi her sake?" Mr. Wyatt had not seen Mrs. Wan singham since that interview in which she had refused to keep faith with him, flinging her promise to th,e winds. He had gene to Tialf-Moon Street on tbe following Saturday evening, determined to make peace with her at any sacrifice of his own dignity, with the slavish pertinavity of a man who passionately loves. He had drivext up to the door, expecting to see the lighted windows shining out on the wintry street, to hear Herr Xlavierschlager pounding the Bread, and the lawn and twitter of many voices, as be went up the narrow 'flower-seented staircase ; but to his sur- prise the windows were all dark, and a sleepy little maid -servant came Lo the door with a guttering tallow candle,ancl who ha and seemed twenty years that over their heads since than Cheeks a little more shriveled perhaps, brows more deeply wrinkled, shoulders a trifle more bent, but exactly the same appreciation of tea and tobacco, half crowns and new neckerchiefs, the Psalms and the rec- tor's sermons. Never had spring seemed to her so beautiful as it seemed this year, when she led her little girl through the woods and showed her the newly awakened flowers, and told her the names of the birds that poured out such gashing songs of gladness in the warm bright noon. The child's lips began to shape isolated words -masa, mam, anct birdie, fowers for flowers -divine language to the mother's ear. Never was a child happier or more fondly lov- ed. Martha Briggs, nothing doubting, hugged this little waif to her honest heart; and even Melanie, who had a curious inward revulsion from the child., had to pretend a, most enthusi- astic devotion and deepest gratitude to Providence for the little one's restora- tion. Once, inspired by some familiar spixit of evi3., she could. not resist drop- ping a, little poison into her mistress' cup of joy. "Do you feel quite ,sure there has been no mistake, ma'am?" she asked. "I sometimes fancy our darling could not have been gaged. I saw her car- ried away by the current, carried past me lake a straw, and it has never been quite explained how she was rescued." Constance looked at her with eyes on fire with indignation. "Am I sure that this is my child?" she cried, clasping the baby to her breast. "Am I, sure of my own name, of my life? If all the rest of life were EL dream or a shadow, 1 should know that Christabel was reel and true. Who can deceive a mother?" (To be Continued). Dr. jalap -"Let me see your tongue please."

With nothing but his powerful walking stick, which he used with the effect of ,.it magician's wand, Gordon inspired his men with an almost superstitious awe and led them on to victory. He received full charge of the military operations pro- per, but stood nominally under the or- ders of Li Hung Clang, Governor-Gen- eral of the provence, who accompanied the army as the personal representative of the Emperor. Gordon's first success of importance was his capture of the fortified town of Taitsan. The event al- so became the occasion of bis first dis- agreement with Li. Among the prison- ers were seven leaders who had arous- ed. the special enmity of the mandarins, and orders were issued for their execu- tion by SLOW TORTURE. Hearing this, Gordon pat in a vehe- raent protest, declaring that' no such acts of barbarity should occur while he was commander. Li's authority, how- ever, being paramount, the cruel de- cree was carried out to the letter, and the victims were martyred many long hours previous to the decapitation. The capture of Taitsan was quickly followed by the reduction of the forti- fications of Quinsan and the capture of the forts of Leekux and Waute which achievements completed the investment of Soothow, the rebel capital. The siege of the place was frought with dangers of the most serious nature. Its forti- fications were exceedingly strong, and it contained it numerous and well -dis- ciplined garrison, well provided with provisions and munitions of war. A first attack yeas beaten off triumph- antly, and it looked as if the place would only fall after a protra,oted siege. Now, ?Then Baby °Weide we gave her eastorte.

The greatest waves known are those off the Cape of Good Hope, where, und- er the influence of a northwest gale, they have been found. to exceed. 40 feet in height. Off Cape Horn they have been measured at 32 feet from trough to crest; and. in the North Atlantic waves from 20 feet to 25 feet are by ntameans uncomnaon. Ordinarily, how- ever, they rarely exceed eight or ten feet; and all accounts of their running "mountains high" must be received as mere poetical exaggerations.. A POPULAR COLLEGE.

A little girl who had been to church it few times had evidently noticed that the congregation went home very soon after the collection, and must have ute- agba.ed. that it was money paid for the right to occupy the seat. One Sunday, when the serraon was longer than she liked, she said audibly to her astonished parent: "Lot's pay our money and go, moth- er I" AFTER TEN YEARS SUFFERING - Two Moan Owe MILVERTON, 28TII 5IILT, 1.
