Ile dreamed he was in a prison oil;
toiling in the hot ewe uuder the Fora

pointing to a red, gaping wound. Then,
too, hi those dreadful waking Ileum
when sleep woula not come, fear took
its place, and he moved in agony of
dread, fancying that las secret was
known, that the detectives were on his
track ana that the gallows was looming
befiare him.
Preparations for the wedding were
proceeding, hastened by the great man's
commands and purse.
It was a grand wedding, much against
Violet's wish, and the fashionable world
was on tiptoe of expectation. For it
was known that Mr. Murpoint was to
he made a baronet and that he would
take one of the largest mansions in Bel-
gravia and commence a series of enter-
tainments immediately after the happy
couple returned from the wedding tour.
Violet's dress was ordered, the brides-
maids chosen, and the tour arranged be-

exeeution of hie little plot with Bettie
and Ethel. Ile called for his letters at

ingly at him, and wondered what was
the matter. Without muelt loss of time
he calied et Mrs. Mildmay's and asked
for Violet.
Violet wrls Upstairs in her own room,
alone and -musing, when the maid came
to tell bezetbat Lord Boiedale was in the
drawing -room,
"Lord Boisdate I" repeated, poor Violet,
turning pale. "Did he ask for me?"
"Yes, miss," said the maid. "Particu-
larly for you."'
"Well," said Violet, sadly. 'I will sea
him."
She was surprised that Fitz should
ask to see her after the letter she had
written to him, for it was a letter full of
true womanly gratitude and kindness,
explaining everything, and begging him,
if he loved and resnected her, not to hee
her before the wedding.
Now, Fitz had called, she thought, to
harass her with reproaches, perhaps to
accuse her of cruel insincerity: She
determined to be brave and see him, so
she went with rather faltering feet into
th drawing -room.
Fitz rose at once and came toward her
with suppressed eagerness.
"My dear Miss Alikimay-Violett" he
e.aelatmetl, "I have come back. and left
Ethel and Bertie the happiest couple in
the world! You have beard the news, of

to wipe with a hasty hand a. suspicious
moisture in his own eyes. "They are off

lo9king as happy as a couple of children,
and I don't care what the world says
and what the earl and countess say;
know I've done the proper thing, and
those two were made for one another!"
So he rattled on in his eager, simple
way, utterly unconscious of the pallor of
her fece, with its look of astonishment
end dread.
For Violet knew by his manaer that
he had not received her letter, and that
she should have to tell him that she
had refused him and accepted Howard
Murpoin.
"Well," said. Fitz, "they sent all sorts

"But, my lord," said Fitz, evil° was
nearly out 9f his mind, "surely you do
not mean to say that yon intend to be
hard upon Ethel for marrying where
she liked? Sbe has not married a chim-
ney -sweep, or run away with one of The
coaelimen. Bartle is the best, the most
famous man in Lonclon—"
"Thank you for the inforrantion," Raid
the earl. "I know nothing of Mr. Fair-

Fitz etared at them.
"My lord," he said, "I cannot pay
these! You know that it is impossi-

"I have nothing to do with that," he
said, coldly. "You -are over age, you
were twenty-two last month; you are
liable, I believe."
"I am liable, I know," said Fitz, in de-
sixiir, "but, of course, sir, I have al-
ways looked to you.'
"And, I believe some time back, in
this very room, I warned you that you
could no longer do so, I have my own

to take them away. they litter my ta-

"Oh," said the stranger, with a laugh,

nearly concealed his face, "I'm Detective

"Oh, dear me, yes," said Mr. Thaxton,
shooting another glance at Leicester

"He won't run away," said Mr,

she breathed.
"No,' said Fitz, thrusting his hands
into his pockets. "Perhaps it is here;
I haven't opened them yet. Oh, Violet,
you have not refused me; you don't
mean to make me miserable for life!
Don't say it, don't say it!»
"I have written it," said. Violet, paler
and paler each moment. "I have writ-
ten a full explanation. It cannot be;
it ie forever impossible. Lord Boisdale-
Fitz, I am to naarry Mr. Murpoint."
"What!" exclaimed Fitz, "am I dream-
ing -am I mad? Violet, you are to
marry the Captain!"
-Violet rose.
Tenby? Rum case that Penruddie mur-
der, wasn't it? I suppoee nothing has
ever turned up, sir?"
"You are tne person to know best
about that. You were engaged in the
case. No, nothing more ever transpired.
No doubt Mr. Leicester Dodson commit-
ted the crime, and was killed himself in
the struggle. But it ie a painful case
-and I don't like to talk about it."
"Just so," said Mr: Dockett. "Well, I
think I'll get into my trap. Good night,
gentlemen. Good night, senor."
Leicester, who had kept his face
turned away as much as possible, bowed
gravely, and muttered ' good night in
Spanish.
As he did so Mr. Doekett, who bad
risen, plumped down on the side of the
cart again and lookea at him out of
the corner of his eyes.
"Been long in England, senor?" he
asked.
"The gentleman (hasn't speak Reg-
-dab." said Mr. Thaxton.
"Just ask him, will you, sir?" said Mr,
Doekett, with a pleasant smile.
Mr. illuatton jabbered something meant
to imitate Spanish, and Leicester, who,
notwithstanding his perilous positioe,
could scarcely restrain his laugbter, an-
swered him.
Again, at the sound of Leicester's
voice, Mr. Dhekett got a little closer,
and eyed him.
Then he rose.
"Ah," he said, "got a bad opinion of
England if he gets robbed like this; this
ehap tried to pick his picket?"
"Nei steal his poi tmanteau,' said Mr.
Thaxton.
"Goodnight," said Mr. Dockett, cd lie
made a step forward, but the cart
seemed to jolt at that stomeet, for
missed his looting, staggered, and fell
against Leiaester, managing as he fell to
drag off Leicester's hat, epectaclea and
false beard.
Then, before any one could, utter it
sound, he leaped to his feet, laid a hand I
upon Leicester's shoulder, and with a
quiet grin, said:
"Mr. Leicester Dodson, t arrest you
on a charge of wilful murder? Here is
the warrant -I've always carried it with
me. IsTo resistance, I hope?"
"None," said Leicester, with a dread
calmness. "I surrender, Mr.' Dockett."
"Now, that's What I call right and
proper and gentlernanly,', said Mr, Doek-
ett, admiringly. "But, bless iny heart;

HOT WATER HELPFUL.
A Drink Each Mornong to Pre-
vent Illness.
Perhaps it 'Duey come as it surprise
to most readers to know that hot
water is toe sovereign remedy for the
minor ills that flesh is heir to, but it
Is a fact, nevertheless. If people
would only give this simple cure .a
fair trial we would soon ba able to
eliminate the words indigestion and
biliousness, and others of a like na-
ture, from our dictionaries.
A large tumblerful of very hot wat-
er, made palatable with it few drops
of lemon-juide, sipped regalarly every
morning is tho most perfect panacea
for any disorder e of this sort that can
bo devised. By the plentiful con-
sumption of hot water deleterious
products are washed out of the sys-
tem, aid the periodical bilious attacks
to which so many women in particu-
lar are martyrs, will become a tradi-
tion of the past.

GOOD, BUT AN AWFUL PRICE.
(London Morning Advertiser.)
If the German people had in Germany
the same liberty and power they have
in the United States and Canada, life
Would be Otte different. If the conditions
were the Same as Itt England, the country
could not engage in war without the con-
sent of Parliament. In England, in the
United States and in Canada, the people
rule. If the result of the war is to place
the government of the country in the
hands of the people it will be a good re-
sult. but the price peel will be far too
great. It is to be hoped that thc war will
terminate speedily, and that many eier-
mans will find here the happy horrtes and
splendid opporturaties awaiting them in

GOLD'S mtpusE.

Oold Is the one thing in world for Which
war Is wIltu,g to exenange men. _tear geld
war bartets widows and orphans, OR
pultl warlike governments assume bar-
men; that ate destined ta crush genera -
thins uuborit. For gold great einanciers
and merchants, conrronting war, sell at
uny price investments representing the
accumulat1on:3 or peace and plenty.
This is no indictment or gold, The se-
cueation lies against the false values
or a world misled. The peasant summon-
ed to the colors in time of war is tut
anxious to convert his small possessione
into gola for the defense oil his family
as the government that he serves is
greedy to exchange his loyalty and life
for gold for its own defense.
It ie not gold. but war that must bear
the guilt. War misuses gold as it mis-
uses men and credit and patriotism and
human energy and devotion ot women
and the birthright of children.

WAR SPEAKS.
(Atchison, Kas„ (Ilobe).
It was quiet after the rush of the
day, a day devoted to marshaling bul-
letins from many places into a. some-
what coherent story of the preliminar-
ies of the world's greatest war -if it
happens. And .then the quiet Is broken
by stern tones, and there arose the
great figure of grim Visaged War and
said:
"I am War; to me men look for
glory and lasting fame, and it is given.
Aline are the InObt thrilling parts of
history, anti Song and verse and story
pay tribute to my awful grandeur.
Around the world the parks and plazas
axe marked by monuments and statues
of the men I have given their share
of fame. Init still other monulnents are
mine; my way is marked by dead
men's bones, by shattered hopes and
•broken homes and devastated fields
and fallen cities and wasted vineyards.
Where I walk the green grass is tram -
Pled and ether rills run red until riv-
ers are also crimson, I am the Moloch
which men worship, although I feed
upon their bravest and fairest. Men
are my mainstay, young men n -the
flower of strength preferred, and of
the many offered I claim vast num-
bers for thy own, and give back others
as maimed and broken creatures, old
and helpless before their time. 131:tt.
men alone are not enough:. for them
• are the cold steel, the hurtling shells
and shrapnel, the buzzing bullets. But
! their women and children, even to
babes unborn ,must help bear the bur-
den that T bring. For these tender ones
I spread want and disease and famine,
and add the dull despair born of sus-
pense and anxiety for dear ones gone,
perhaps forever. And yet I am but
a ghost, existing merely because men
think 1 must, and not because man
needs me in working out his cherished
plan."
.A. dream, of touase, for war is no
single creature to arise and tell the
truth of himself, but the monstrous
work of many men turned savage to
make a moeltery of the civilization and
justice ot'which we boast.
