" Back already!" exclaimed Mr.1
Wyatt. " How did Goblixi go? 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 tried him last March
against Lord Wildair's Cowcumber, and
put a hextra seven pounds on, hina, and
Cowcumber was nowhere. 1 felt sorry
I hadn't made it fourteen pound when
I saw that blessed Coweumber regular
pumped.' 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.
Ah, here's the staff." as the man
brought in a spirit stand and it sup-
ply of soda -water. "1 want you to let
me have Davenant back, Jim," pour-
ing brandy intu a small tumbler, with-
out looking at the quantity. "You

plainest words!"
"And perhaps strangle me if I do.

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

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-

If Gilbert could have flown at the

sometimes induced by alcohol, "you're there might have been some satisfac-

They wouldn't cotton to you. They're

county society a dead letter, dear boy,

can pluck such pigeons anywhere."
"How kind of you to be so Interestecl

"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. Don't be a fool, Sinclair. You

Mr. Wyatt went to the solicitor, who
politely refused to give his client's ad-
aress.
"Perhaps :she has gone ,into it coa-
vent," thought James Wyatt, at his
wits' end; and this disappointment add-
ed not a little to the Inaterness of his
feelings toward. that profitable client of
his, Gilbert Sinelair.

Staples, the butler, cathe in with the
lamps, shut the solid old oak shutters,
cleared the tables, e,nd tbreught his
master a cup of coffee, aU tn, an or-
derly and respectable manner that
was well worth his sixty pounds a. year.
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.
James Wyatt spread them out be-
fore him tboughtiully, as if they were
cards and he were calculating their
value. Handsome creamy envelopes,
thick and aristocratic, with armorial
bearings on the seals; others blue and
business -like, mai unpretendingly inex-
pressive. One narrow little envelope,
thin, green, and shiny. This was the
first he opened.
The letter it contained was written
in a small scratching hand, unnaistake
ably foreign, little curly teils to all the
ds, a general scragginess in the y's,
a paucity of eapitalat.
"'Why do you not let me see.you, or

after so much of promises? You leave

"This comes of an innocent flirtation
-pour 'easier le temps -in e stupid
country -house," said Mr, Wyattacrumpe
ling the letter eavagely. "This girl
will worry my life out. I evaitz it fool
to amuse myself with such a dangerous
little viper. And if I were to be frank
with her, and tell her to go about her
business, she might make matters un-
pleasant for me. The law comes down
rather heavily on anything in the shape
of conspiracy, and that little affair at
Selmenesthal might ae made to as-
tatine that complexion. And. the law
never collies down so heavily as 'when
it gets its hoof on a man who
has plenty to lose. Your British jure',
too, has no liking for a man who turns
his superfluous capital to good account
by lending, it to fools. So, I must
keep that Schoenesthal business out of
the. law courts at any cast. Melanie
must be pensioned, and sent back to her
native valley, or her native slum -for
I should think such an artful young
person must have been born in some
festering city alley rather than among
vineyards or orchards.

and answered Mlle. 3)uport'sletter
without delay -briefly and. cautiously.
CHAPTER XXIV.
If Lord Clanyarde had been within

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

t nappening in the Taiping Rebellion,
Illustrating the Perfidy of China's Mott
Civilized Statesman and the Determine.
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

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.

at Its Worst.
The walk through the museum is cer-
tainly one of the mast wonderful in the
world. 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. One
is brought into direct communication
with Rome at its best, brilliant with
the last reflections of Hellenio lighaand
again one is brought into contact with
Rome at its worst, and beyond its worst,
in its decay and destruction. Amid the
ruin, too, tbere is the visible mail of a
new growth in the beginnings 01 Chris-
tianity, from which a new power, it new
history, a new literature, and it new art
were to spring up and blossom, and in
tbe rude sculpture of the Shepherd., the
Lamb and the bashes lies the origm of
Miehael Angelo's "Moses" and "Pieta."
There, too, oue may read, as in a book,
the 'whole history of death in Rome,
graven in the long lines of ancient. in-
soriptions, the tele of death, when there
was no hope, and its story when hope

tion of the dead. There the sadness of
the sorrowing Roman contrasts with the
gentle hopefulness of the bereaved
Christian, and the sentiment and senti-
mentality of mankind during the great-
est of the world's developments are told
in the very words which men and wo-
men dictated to the stonecutter. To
those who can read the inscriptions the
impression of direct communication
with antiquity is very: strong. For those
who can not there is still a. special
charm in the long succession of corri-
dors an the occasional glimpses of the
gardens, in the cool raagaincence of the
decorations, as well as in the statues
and fragments which line the enttless
straight walls.

James Wyatt paced his room in the
darkening shadows, deep in thought. He
had sent a poisoned barb to the heart
of the man he hated, and he was glad.
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?"

ajesty's army. .A.nd. thus it
came to pass that Charles Gordon; an
officer of the Royal Engineers, received
the appointment as commander of the
imperial forces in the campaign against
the Taipings
The strong personality of this re-
markable man is familiar to the gen-
eral reader, combining as it did the
practical sense of the modern Ang,lo-
Saxon with the ohivalry and mysticism
of the crusader of old. 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,

HEIGHT OF OCEAN WAVES.
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.
Every young lady and gentleman who
desires to secure a. reliable business or
shorthand education, should write to
W. j. Elliott, Principal of the Central
Business College, Stratford, Ont.., for
one of leis new tcatalogues, It is a
work a art and reflects credit on this
old and successful business school. A
school like this, that has thousands of
former students M choice situations is
certainly the one all young people
should patronize.
PAY 'UP AND GO.
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-

Gentlemen, -For the last ten years I heaf
been troubled with kidney disease, being
so bad at iutervals that I could not lie in
bed at night nor stoop to the gTound.
I had tried all the remedies I could find
without effect, but heard of Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills and procured. a box.
I am most happy to say it for my own
sake as well as for others that I am per.
featly cured after using four boxes.
