( At the same moment Alice started from her sleep , and , springing to her feet , stood an instant listening. Then crying out , In an agonized whisper. "The horse with the clanking shoe ! " she flung her arms around me. Her face was as white as the spe Ctra1 moon which , the moment I put the candle out , looked in through a pane beside us ; and she gazed fearfully , yet wildly - ly defiant , toward the door. We clung to each other. We heard the sound come nearer and nearer , till it thundered - ed right up to the very door of the roam terribly loud. It ceased. But the door was flung open , and Lrrrd Hilton - ton entered , followed by servants with lights. I have but a very confused rentem- brance of what followed. I heard 1t vile word from the lips of Lord H1- ! ton ; I felt my fingers on his throat ; I received a blow on the head ; and I seem to remember a cry of agony from Alice as I fell. What happened neat I did not know. When I came to myself I was lying on aa wide moor , with the night wind blowing about me. I presume that I had wandered thither in a state of unconsciousness - consciousness , after being turned cuf of the hall , and that I had at last fainted from loss of blood. I war ; unable - able to move for a long time. At length , the morning broke , and I found mysel : not far from the hall. I crept back a mile of two , to the bates , and having succeeded in rousing Alice's old nurse. was taken in with many lamentations and put to bed in the lodge. I had a violent fever ; acid it was all the poor woman could do to keep my presence a secret from the family at the hall. When I began to mend my first question - tion was about Alice. I learned , though with some tlificulty-for my kind at teudant was evidently unwilling to tell me all the truth-that Alice , too , had been very ill ; and that , a week before , I they had removed her. But she either would not or could not tell me where they had taken her. I believad she could not. Nor do I know for certain to this day. Mrs. Blakesley offered me the loan of SMIIO of her savings to get me to Lon- don. I received it with gratitude , and as soon as I'was fit to travel , made my way thither. Afraid for my reason , if I had no employment to keep my thoughts from brooding on my helplessness - ness , and so increasing my despar , and h r determined likewise/ that my failure should not make me burdensome on i any one else , I enlisted in the Scotch grays , before letting any of my friends know where I was. Through the help of one already mentioned in my story , i I soon obtained a commission. I + r.oln the field of Waterloo , I rode into Brussels - sels with a broken arm and a saber ; cut in the head. 1 As we passed along one of the streets , i through all the clang of iron-shod hoofs on the stones around me , I heard the ii ominous clank. At the same moment 1 heard a cry. It was the voice of my Alice. I looked up. At a barred wind - d dew i saw her face ; but it was terribly 1 changed. I dropped from my horse. As 'I soon as I was able to move from the it hospital , I went to the place and found it was a lunatic asylum. I was permitted - ted to see the inmates , but discovered no one resembling her. I do not now believe that she was ever there. For years and years I knew not whether she was alive or dead. I sought her far and near. I wandered over England , France and Germany , hopelessly searching ; listening at tables d'hote ; lurking about mad-houses ; haunting theaters and churches ; often , in wild regions , begging my way from + house to house ; I did not find her. Once I visited Hilton Hall. I found it all but deserted. I learned that Mrs. Wilson was dead , and that there were only two or three servants in the place Sometimes I condensed my whole being into a single intensity of will- that she should come ; and sustained it , until I fainted with the effort. She did not come. I desisted altogether at last , for I bethought me that , whether dead or alive , it must cause her torture - ture not to be able to obey it. CHAPTER XL THE PHYSICIAN. T was now Captain Campbell of the Scotch Grays , contriving to live on my 'half pay , and thinking far more about the past than the present or future. My father was dead. My only brother was also gone , and the property had passed Into other hands. I had no fixed place of abode , but went from one spot to another - other as the whim seized me-some- -times remaining a month , sometimes removing - moving next day , but generally choosy - y ring retired villages about which I knew nothing. I had spent a week in a small town on the borders of tTales , and intended remaining a fortnight longer , when I was suddenly seized with a violent ill- h ess , in which I lay insensible for three weeks. When I recovered consciousness - ness I found that my head had been ; laved , and that the cicatrice of my old wound was occasionally , very painful. Of late I have suspected that I had some operation performed on my skull during my illness ; but Dr. Ruthwell never dropped a hint to that effect. . This was the friend whom , when first i I had opened my seeing eyes , Isbeheld i sitting by my bedside , watching the effect of his last prescription. He was one of the few in the profession whose love of science and love of their fellows combined , would be enough to chain them to the art of healing , irrespective ive of its emoluments. He was one of the few , also , who see the marvelous in all science , and , therefore , reject nothing merely because the marvelous may seem to predominate in it He attributed my illness to the consequences - sequences of the saber cut. and my recovery to the potency of the drugs lie had exhibited. I attributed my illness - ness in great measure to the constant contemplation of my early history , no longer checked by-any regular employ ment and my early recovery in equal measures to the power of his kindness and sympathy , helping from within what could never have been reached from without. , After I had so far recovered as to render it safe to turn my regard more particularly upon my own case , ho said to me one day : "You would laugh at me , Campbell , were I to confess some of the bother this illness of yours has occasioned me ; enough , Indeed , to overthrow any conceit - ceit I ever had in my own diagnosis. " "Go on , " I answered ; "I promise not to laugh. " r "In your case , " he continued , //the pathognomonic , If you will excuse medical - ical slang , were every now and then broken by the intrusion of altogether foreign symptoms. " I listened with breathless attention. "Indeed , on several occasions , when , after meditating on your case until I was worn out , I had fallen half asleep by your bedside , I came to myself with the strangest conviction that I was watching by the bedside of a woman. " "Thank Heaven ! I exclaimed , starting - ing up , "she lives still : As soon as my friend would permit me , I set out for Scotland. I made the journey by easy stages , chiefly on the back of a favorite black horse , which had carried me well in several fights , had come out of them scarred , like his master , but sound in wind and limb. It was night when I ; reached the village lying nearest to my birthplace. When I woke in the morning , I found the whole region filled with a white mist ; hiding the mountains around. When I had finished my breakfast , I went down and wandered about among the people. Groups of elderly men were talking earnestly ; and young men and maidens who had come to be fee'd , were joking and laughing. They stared at the Sassenach gentleman , and little thinking that he understodd every word they uttered , made their remarks upon him in no very subdued tones. I approached a stall where a brown old woman was selling ginger bread and apples. She was talking to a man with long , white locks. Near them was a group of young people. One of them must have said something about me ; for the old woman , who had been taking stolen glances at me , turned rather sharply toward them , and rebuked - buked them for rudeness. "The gentleman is no Sassenach , " she said. "He understands everything you are saying. " This was spoken in Gaelic , of course. I turned and looked at her with more observance. She made me a courtesy , and said , in the same language : "Your honor will be a Campbell , I'm thinking. " "I am a Campbell , " I answered , and waited. "Your honor's name wouldn't be Duncan - can , sir ? " "It is Duncan , " I answered ; "but there are many Duncan Campbells. " "Only one to me , your honor , anti that's yourself. But you will not remember - member me ? " I did not remember her. Before long , however , urged by her anxiety to associate - ciate her present with my past , she enabled - abled me to recall in her time-worn features those of a servant in my fath- er's house when I was a child. "But how could you recollect me ? " I said. "I have often seen you since I left your father's sir. But it , was really , I believe , that I hear more about you than anything else , every day of my life. " "I do not understand you. " "From old Margaret , I mean. " "Dear old Margaret ! Is she alive ? " "Alive and hearty , though quite bed- ridden. Why , sir , she must be within near sight of a hundred. " "Wliete does she live ? " "In the old cottage , sir. Nothing will make her leave it. The new liar wanted to turn her out ; but Margaret muttered something at which he grew as white as his shirt , and he has never ventured across her threshold again. " "How do you see so much of her , though ? " "I never leave her , sir. She can't wait on herself , poor old lady. Anti she's like a mother to me. Bless her ! But your honor will come and see her ? " "Of course I will. Tell her so when you go home. " "Will you honor me by sleeping at my house , sir ? " said the old man to whom she had been talking. "My farm is just over the brow of the hill , you know. " I had by this time recognized him , and I accepted his offer at once. My horse was an excellent walker , and I let him walk on , with the reins on his neck , while I , lost in a dream of the past , was singing a song of my own making , with which I often comforted - forted my longing by giving it voice. I was roused by a heavy drop of rain upon my face. I looked up. A cool wave of wind flowed against me. Clouds had gathered ; and over the peak of a hill to the left the sky was very black. Old Constancy threw his head up , as if he wanted me to take the refit , and let him step out. I rernern- bered that there used to be an awkward - ward piece of road somewhere not far in front , , where the path , with a bank on the left side , sloped to a deep descent - scent on the right If the road was as bad there as it used to be , it would be better to pass it before ft grew quite dark. So I took the reins , and away went old Constancy. We had just reached the spot , when a keen flash of lightning broke from the clouds overhead - head , and my horse instantly stood stock still , as if paralyzed , with his nostrils turned up toward the peak of the mountain. I sat as still as he , to give him time to recover himself. But all at once his whole frame was convulsed - vulsed , as if by an agony of terror. He gave a great plunge , and then I felt his muscles swelling and knotting under me , as he rose on his hind legs , and went backward , with scaur behind ° him. I leaned forward on his neck to bring him down , but he reared higher - er and higher , till he stood bolt upright - right , and it was time to slip off , lest he should fall upon me. I did so ; but my foot alighted upon no support. He had backed to the edge of the shelving ground , and I fell and went to the bottom. The last thing I was aware of was the thundering fall of my horse beside me. When I came to myself it was dark. I felt stupid and aching all over ; but I soon satisfied myself that no bones were broken. A mass of something layy near me. It was poor Constancy. I crawled to him , laid my hand on his neck , and called him by his name. But lie made no answer in that gentle , joyful - ful speech-for it was speech in old Constancy-with which he always greeted uie , if only after an hour's ab- sence. I needed all my manhood to keep from crying like a child ; for my char- , - - + i er was my friend. How long I lay beside him , I do not know ; but , at length , I heard the sound of wheels coming along the road. I tried to shout , and in some measure , succeeded ; for a voice , which I recognized as that of my father's friend , answered cheeri- ly. He was shocked to discover that his expected guest was in such evil plight. It was still dark , for the rain was falling heavily ; but , with his directions - tions , I was soon able to take my seat beside him In the gig : He had been unexpectedly - expectedly detained , and was now hastening home with the hope of being yet in time to welcome me. CHAPTER III. MARGARET. Early in the afternoon I came In sight of the cottage of Margaret. It lay unchanged , a gray , stone-fashioned hut , in the hollow of the mountain basin. I scrambled down the soft green brae , and soon stood within the door of the cottage. There I was met by Margaret's attendant. She led mete to the bed where my old nurse lay Her eyes were yet undimmed by years , and little change had passed upon her countenance , since I parted with her on that memorable night. The moment she saw me she broke out into apas. sionate lamentation , such as a mother might utter over the maimed sfength and disfigured beauty of her child. "What ill has he done-my bairn-to be all night the sport of the powers of the air and the wicked of the earth ? But the day will dawn for my Duncan yet , and a lovely day it will be ! " Then , looking at me anxiously , she said : "You're not much the worse for last night , my bairn. But woe's me ! His grand horse , that carried him so , that I blessed the beast in my prayers ! " I knew that no one could have yet brought her news of my accident. "You saw me fall , nurse ? " I said. "That I did , " she answered. "I see you oftener than you think. But there was a time-when I could hardly see you at all , and Ithought you were dead , my Duncan. " I stooped to kiss her. She laid the one hand that had still the power of motion , upon my head , and dividing the hail , which hai begun to be mixed with gray , said : "Eh. the bonny gray hairs ! My Duncan's a man in spite of them ! " She searched until she found the scar of the saber cut. "Just where I thought to find it ! " she said. "That was a terrible day- worse for me than you , Duncan ! " "You saw me then ! " I exclaimed. "Little do folks know , " she answered , "who think I'm lying here like a live corpse in its coffin , what liberty my soul-and that's just me-enjoys. Little - tle do they know what I see and hear. And there s no witchcraft of evil-doing in it my boy ; but just what the Almighty - mighty made me. Janet , here , declares - clares she heard the cry that I made , when this same cut , that's not so well healed yet , broke out in your bonny head. I saw no sword , only the bursting - ing of the 1)100(1 from the wound. But sit down , my bairn , and have something - thing to eat after your walk. We'll have time enough for speech. " "You said , nurse , that some time ago you could not see me. Did you know nothing about me all that time ? " "I took it to mean that you were ill , my dear. Shortly after you left us , the same thing happened first ; but I do not think you were ill then. " "I should like to tell you my story , dear Margaret , " I said , conceiving a sudden hope of assistance from one who hovered so near the unseen that she often flitted across the borders. "But would it tire you ? " "Tire mime , my child' " she said , with sudden energy. "Did I not carry you in my bosom , till I loved you more than the darling I had lost ? Do I not think about you and your fortunes , till , sitting - ting there , you are no nearer to me than when a thousand miles away ? You do not know my love to you , Dun- can. I have lived upon it when , I dare say , you did not care whether I was alive or dead. But that was all one to my love. When you leave me now I shall not care much. My thoughts will only return to their old ways. But I want to hear your story. I am hungering - ing to hear it" "But , " I whispered , "I cannot speak about it before anyone else. " "I will send Janet away. Janet , I want to talk with Mr. Campbell alone. " "Very well , Margaret , " answered Janet , and left the room. ( TO BE CONTINUED. ) ' Cure for Sleeplessness. A physician , in speaking of the various - ious methods of inducing sleep , said : "I've tried then all-putting a cold towel on the head , bathing the feet hi hot water , counting up to 1,000 , drinking - ing a glass of milk and so on , and the best thing I ever found was simply this : When I have worked all evening and find myself at bed time in a state of nervousness or mental activity , 1 go to bed and place my right hand directly over the pit of my stomach. Whether it is the animal warmth of time hand acting on the stomach anti drawing the circulation from the head , or some nervous action , I can't say , but I know that I fall asleep in a few minutes. I believe that in a large I majority of the ordinary eases of sleep. ; lessness this simple remedy will prove effective. I have recommended it to many patients and they report sure " Record. prising success.-Chicago Aids to Speed.

Looking up suddenly she beheld the bearded face of a man , with a gleam. Lug knife between his teeth. Then she fainted.

TY BRITISH INTERESTS FOSTERED IN WASHINGTON. What John Bull Lost at Yorktown lie I Bogalning With Mr. Cloveland's Able Asslstanco - These Dllnneeota Democrats-A Lost Idol. 1lro tie a British Colony ? The commercial vigilance of Great Britain never sleeps. It is always awake , ready to take advantage of every opportunity to extend the trade of the united kingdom , to guard against dangers that may threaten that which has been acquired. The attempt to hold the American colonies in subjection to the British crown was an attempt to retain a promising mar- ket. Defeated in that first attempt , British ambition sought to accomplish its purpose along different lines. But its aim was the same , and that purpose - pose has not from that day to this been relaxed. Political independence filled the American people with pride , and they thought that they had made themselves - selves free. In fact , they were so for awhile. But Great Britain did not sleep. It never for a moment relinquished - quished the hope that some day it would accomplish what it sought to accomplish when it resisted the struggle - gle of the American colonists for political - litical independence. To-day it is an open question whether it has or has not 'succeeded. It is not idle to ask if we are in a commercial sense a British colony. It was a fortunate day for Great Britain when , with the aid of the Democrats , it succeeded in placing Grover Cleveland in the presidential chair. That British influence had a great deal to do with his success does not admit of question. Thousands of men in the East who take their political ideas from England supported Mr. Cleveland - land because he conformed to the British standard of statesmanship. Ho was British in his ideas concerning the tariff. He was British in his theory of money and his policy concerning - cerning the monetary affairs of this country. IIe was British in his views concerning our foreign policy , and especially - pecially our relation to matters in the Pacific. Ever since ho has been in the White house this time , and it was largely so during his first term , lie has been an ally of Great Britain. Always he has taken an un-American stand. Among the early acts of congress after the adoption of the constitution were two that were of the highest im- portanco. One was to establish a protective tariff in order to stimulate American industries. The other waste to establish a mint and open it to the coinage of silver and gold at a fixed ratio. In less than twenty years after that Great Britain demonetized silver , and ever since it has been an advocate of a single gold standard. For nearly the same length of time it has been an advocate of free trade. Both doctrines were in British inter- ests. Both were contrary to the interests - terests of this country. Both tended to reduce the world , and especially the United States , to commercial and financial dependence upon Great Britain. Both were in line with that policy of sleepless vigilance by which Great Britain has always sought to accomplish - complish in a commercial way what it could not accomplish by force of arms. In all this England has been aided by that school of Eastern politicians of which Mr. Cleveland is the most conspicuous member. These men have forced upon the country the British monetary policy , and they have almost forced us to a free trade level. The fact that we are not upon a free trade level is no fault of Grover Cleveland's. Their great argument in favor of gold monometallism has been that it placed us upon a monetary - tary level with other nations , says the Denver Republican. That Great Britain is chiefly considered in this connection is shown by the fact that everyone of these men say that we cannot afford to do anything for the restoration of silver until Great Britain - ain consents to open its mints to that metal. Again , the reciprocity policy was a great blow at British commercial su- premacy. Of all things done by the Republicans it was the most abhorrent to the Democrats. A vigorous American - can policy in time Pacific is contrary to British interests in that quarter. Ever since Mr. Cleveland came into office the last time our national policy in that quarter has been one of inac- tivity. With Mr. Cleveland and other mugwumps a vigorous American spirit is looked upon as evidence of a lack of culture. Surely there is reason to ask if this country is a British colony. A Lost Idol. It's an unkind fate that destiny has had in store for the Hon. Roger Q. Mills of Texas , author of the Mills bill and other important measures. He arose to a position of eminence seldom gained by politicians not well known as campaign tacticians. And then the Democracy dropped him. Or , rather , it dumped him ignominiously on to the party hearse and had him taken away amid ungrateful cries of reproach. Later , the fallen statesman - man went into that mausoleum of I greatness , the senate. - Chicago Record. of One to approve. It is remarkable that not a newspaper - per in all the country has a word of praise for the present congress. It is the most thoroughly discredited legislative - lative body that ever assembled in Washington. It ; 1th Coming True The Chicago Herald wants all protectionist - tectionist Democrats to join the Re publican party. The Herald probably noticed that quite a respectable number - ber did that early in November. Its wish as to the rest may be gratified within the next two years , if the Democratic leaders and organs continue - tinue to talk "tariff reform" nonsense. The Minnesota I ronnnck mnnto. The Minnesoto Democratic association - tion was much in evidence a your ago or less , when it branded the fourteen Democratic senators , who wore not willing to swallow the Wilson bill in all its naked loveliness , as Benedict Arnolds and Judas Iscariots , and unworthy - worthy to bear the name of Demo- , crats. Some of the aforesaid senators oven felt called upon to declare upon the floor of the senate that they were not Judas Iscariots , nor Benedict Ar- nolds , nor any other words of like ef- fect. The Minnesota Democratic association - sociation was very highly elated with its accomplishment. It had succeeded with its address in attracting a great deal more attention than it had over hoped for. A great deal more than its importance war- ranted. But it had raised a breozeand was happy accordingly. But the Wilson - son bill went to its ignominious fate , just the same , and , in the fullness of time , in the first week of November the voters of Minnesota trampled the Democratic - ocratic association in the mire and dirt -figuratively speaking-with great unanimity and thoroughness. But the Minnesota Democratik association is not discouraged. It believes in perse verence if not in the persoverenco of the saints. And so it comes up as jauntily as the unfortunate events of last November will permit. The Minnesota - nesota Democratic association desires to be heard , says the Detroit Tribune , and so it elevates its mouth at , an angle - gle of forty-fivo degrees , takes a full. inspiration , and fires its pnuematic- dynamite shot over the country as follows : "We must dcclara openly and boldly for free trade. " All right ! ' declare away ! If you think that is what the country wants , and what it voted for , that is the thing to de. That will suit us first rate , because , if you do , there will be less Democrats - crats than there are now. "We must take up the work of education again. We taught the people that protection is wrong. We must teach them that free trade is right. " Yes , you taught the people that protection is wrong ; but time people did not accept your teaching. Quito the reverse. They taught you something - thing in regard to their views and wishes. They taught you that they had no use for the Democratic party ; they taught you that they did not want more free trade but loss ; that they did not believe in a policy that closes American factories and lights the fires in foreign shops and forges. But , dear Democratic association ! don't for a moment think that time earth won't revolve unless you periodically - ically send your free trade yawp over the roof of time universe. You are too much like the ubiquitous small dog that periodically chases the limited express train out of town and then trots complacently back , wagging its tail at the tremendous achievement. Your pronunciamento is magnificent- but it is not war. On the Other Foot. What's this ? The cotton planters of the Yazoo Delta , in the great Democratic state of Mississippi , hold- jug a convention for the purpose of agreeing upon a reduction in the wages of their hands ! Why , what's to become of the country now ? For a long , long time these very planters of the South have been telling the country - try how infamous Republican employers - ers were to reduce the wages of their men. It shocked their sensitive souls to have Northern wages re- duced. But the boot is on the other foot now , and it seems to pinch the Yazoo Delta pretty hard.--Philadelphia Inquirer. Let him Use liis "lnaooenco" It is stated that Mr. Cleveland will use his "infiooence" to bring about the repeal of the discriminating duty on German beet sugar. While he is about it let him use his "pull" with congress to bring about the repeal of the discriminating tax against the North known as the income tax. Loyal Americans are as much entitled to his consideration as alien manufacturers - turers , although it may be hard to make him believe it.-N. Y. Tribune. If Ito Began to Correct Himself-- ! A short time ago President Cleveland - land declared in a public utterance that "thousands of neighborhoods have their well known fraudulent pen- sioners. " As the result of months of zealous labor the pension department has found less than two hundred fraudulent pensioners , 118 of which were frauds of notaries , attorneys , witnesses and impostors. Will Mr. Cleveland be fair enough to correct his slanderous statement ? I he Gold Cure.
