Dick , over whose half-conscious head this sword-play was flickering , saw only that an argument was going on ; which side was which , and why , he could not understand , and so resolved to speak t with caution if he had to speak at all. Camilla felt that the colonel was pressing her closely , and tried to disable - able him by a straighter thrust. "I don't suppose you are a blind follower - . ' lower even of Lord Glamorgan , " she 'said to Dick ; "you probably do not wish the emperor released ? " "It would not benefit him if I did , " lie replied ; "but I am sorry for him if ' he suffers as they say. " This was worse than ever for Dick , and the colonel was prompt to seize the opportunity. "He does indeed suffer , " he said. "It is our greatest grief , for Madame de Montaut is entirely devoted to him : "My devotion , " retorted Camilla , almost - most indignantly , "Is natural enough ; but the loyalty that binds me can have no hold upon an Englishman. " "There are more kinds of loyalty than one , " returned her imperturbable an- tagonist. "I , for instance , am loyal to the emperor , not only as a Frenchman , but even more strongly from my loyalty to you , who have made 1)s cause your own ; and this , or something like it , may conceivably be the case with oth- ers. " Camilla looked unutterable scorn. "Capt. Estcourt , " she said , turning to him with a bow full of graceful mockery - ery at her own question , "will you , as a kindness to me , carry the emperor off from St. Helena ? r' Dick was relieved at her apparent return - turn to a lighter mood. "I can hardly undertake to go so far myself , " he replied - plied laughing ; "you had better court - t mission my friend Johnstone , the smug filer ; to do it fbr you. " "Good ! " exclaimed the colonel , joining - ing in the laugh with the loud tone of one who wishes to emphasize a jest. "Capital advice , Camilla , and you can't do better than follow it" She did not for the moment grasp his intention in saying this , and made no reply . beyyond , a distrustful glance. Dick , meantime , had been looking at his watch , and now held out his hand. "I , am afraid , " he said , "that I must be going home ; I have trespassed too long upon your kindness , and the doctor said I must be in by sunset" . , "One moment , " said Camilla , hoping to gain an instant's privacy in which to give him some kind of warning. " 'Stay a moment ; Col , de Montaut will order the carriage for you. " "It is at the door , " replied the colonel , and he bowed Dick out before him , and followed him downstairs. Camilla heard the front door close and the carriage drive away. A tong silence followed. The colonel had evidently - , , dently gone to the length of accompanying - panying Dick to his own lodging. The mischief might be done by this time , and here she sat , powerless to prevent it She fretted under the thought at first , and her indignation chafed her in the absence of an object upon which to spend itself ; but at last it seemed to have worn itself out for a time , and she fell into a quieter mood. All the same she started guiltily when the door opened almost without a sound. There stood the colonel , like some wkly emissary of evil , following up his calculated opportunity at the most deadly moment of weakness. k He appeared to have entirely forgotten - ten his late struggle with her. In his hand was an open letter , which he held up to her view. "I have just heard , " he said , "from Carnac , who has received a letter from St. Helena. " She held out her hand for it. "You are tired , " he said ; "I will read It to you. Be pi'epared , for it is far ' ¼ ; from pleasant hearing ; " and he began at once : The letter-or , at any rate , his read- , Ingof it-ran as follows : 'My Dear M. de Montaut : A packet dispatched from St. Helena at the end contains the melancholy ' of January following - ancholy intelligence in the cipher of Gen. Bertrand : The emperor , having suffered severely in health from want of active occupation , on Jan. 22 resumed - sumed his riding exercise , after an in- f termision of two years. The effect of this violent change of habit was unhappily - happily the reverse of beneficial , and he has been more or less prostrate for a week past. ' " The colonel looked at .Camilla , and went on more slowly : " 'His majesty has become subject to fits of profound depression , which ere the despair of his physicians. He bit- - i terly declares himself deserted and be- tr yed , and iris reproaches are terrible to hear. He talks openly of eommit- tin s his last wishes to paper. ' " In her agitation at this news Camilla forgot everything else. "Oh , no ! " she v cried , clasping her hands as though to entreat the cruel fates. "We shall be in time ; we must , we must ! " "We must ! " he echoed gloomily ; "they expect us on the 5th of May. " "And when do we start ? " "Before the beginning of April ; we have hardly more than a week left m which to gather our forces.for this final - attempt. " She was silent , and seemed unwilling to venture further into the region of k detail. : , "The vessel is all but ready , " continued - : _ , tinued the colonel ; "a mixed crew can y , g bG collected in a day or two at Deal or Ramsgate. " He paused , as if expecting a question ' ; rom her ; but she was still silent , a xd ' j - , . , ' : he went on again. - ; t 3 . . , . . . . . . . . . . _ : _ 'ka "For the money I am relying on you. " She nodded , "As to the rest , " he said , eyeing her cautiously , "bur friends have failed us , as you know. " She looked straight at him , and her face took a passive expression , as if in expectation of a blow. "This is our last chance , " he said ; "the emperor's supreme and only hope. No consideration must weigh with us against his life and liberty. " She drew her breath quickly ; he saw that he must give her more time yet. " "This man Johnstone , " he said , "will , I hope , consent to work the submarine boat for us. I will search him out tomorrow - morrow ' , and make terms with him myself - self 1'f possible. " She was relieved to find that so far this was all , and assented reluctantly , hoping against hope to find her further suspicions unfounded. - But the colonel went on relentlessly. "There remains only between us and success , between the emperor and safety - ty , this one difficulty of discovering : i suitable captain for our ship. " "You have time to go to France for that yourself , she said in desperation. "Everything must be dared , as you said only just now. " He shook his head. "Daring of that kind is useless here , " he said. "No Frenchman can serve our purpose. " She feigned astonishment at this. "My dear Camilla , " he said , "you misjudge - judge our friend in thinking him'so ran- corous. He has fought , as he told us , chiefly against Danes and Americans , and has no cause to bear malice to the French. " "I wiis net thinking of the French , " she returned , t'but of the emperor , wire incited both Denmark and America to war , and thereby made himself the enemy - emy of all true Englishmen. " Surely not quite all , ' said the colonel - onel , the opposition have often , both in parliament and out of it , pleaded with the government for his release. Lord Glamorgan , he continued , looking - ing at Estcourt , "Lord Glamorgan , for instance , is a member of that party , and yet in every way a true English- man. " "No , " he continued , "I have considered - ered this part of the question long anti thoroughly , for it is that upon which all the rest depends. These are the two necessary qualifications for our cap- tain. First , he must not only be a good" ally , in the sense of being a bold anti competent seaman , but he must be bound to us by a tie stronger than that of mere pecuniary interest. " "Yes , " she interrupted , quickly , "he must act from patriotism , too ; and therefore , he can be no other than a Frenchman. " He shook his head again , with the same gentle regretfulness. "Where will you find such a self-ini- molating patriotism at a moment's notice - tice , and among those to whom our ideas are strange" he asked. "Do you forget that even the inner circle of our confederates has failed us ? " She trembled in silence. "No , " resumed the colonel , "he must bean Englishman , and one upon who ; , we can exert an irresistible moral force. But that is not enough , " lie added , quickly , and she almost breathed again. "The second qualification is this-he must be a man known favorably to the authorities here in England , or at the least to those at St Helena. Otherwise - wise he would be unable to obtain leave to anchor , and he could not face those naval police without fear of suspicion. We should be searched , " and here his voice fell to a low , clear tone , "searched and seized , or driven from the coast , and the emperor must. die a brokenhearted - hearted exile. " Camilla buried her face in her hands. The colonel looked down upon her with a faint smile of self-congratulation. "Very well , then , " he said , "for the present we will discuss the question no further. I will do my best to secure Johnstone , and I leave you to think the other matter over by yourself ; it is quite possible that you may be able to discover among your English friends some one-an officer , perhaps-who will at your persuasion , if for no other reason - son , help us to save tine emperor ant ] France. " She did not move or speak , - when at last she looked up he was gone. But every word that he had spoken , and every tone of his. subtly modulated voice , passed through her brain over and over again with a paralyzing clearness - ness ; and she sat on , as if under some horrible spell. At the end of half an hour she was still there , her mind wearied out with vainly beating against the constraint of this hateful necessity , like a bird buffeting - feting itself to death against the bars of a trap. She was roused by the crackling of paper beneath her hand , and looking down found that she had been clenching - ing a letter in her unconscious grasp. A start of surprise followed as she recognized - ognized the appearance of the paper. It was Dick's application to , the ad- miralty. The official to whom the colonel - onel had presented it had glanced at its contents and handed it bath with an off-hand statement that it ras too late , another man having been already appointed - pointed to the Favorite. The colonel had accordingly brought it back to Didk , and in the confusion which followed - lowed the tatter's sudden attack of illness - ness it had fallen unperceived behind a cushion of the sofa upon which Camilla - milla was now sitting. Anxious to free herself from the toils without a moment's delay , she rose and went down to look for her brother-in- law. law.She She found him in the study , busy among his papers ; he looked up to greet her with an indulgent smile , as if to assure her that he felt for her past , struggle , and was ready to receive lit r submission graciously. She saw it , and anger choked the - words in her throat. "Well , " he asked , "and upon whom has your choice fallen ? " i -l T i ti "There is no choice. " she answered : "I have no friend capable of an act of treason , " He saw that he had been over-canfl- dent , and was ready on the instant to meet her with fresh patience. "Treason ? " he said , quietly ; "it is no treason to undo the work of treachery. " "What do you mean ? " "The English nation , or rather their government , betrayed the emperor's voluntary trust in them , and , as 1 have heard you maintain with truth a hundred - dred times , faithlessly made a prisoner of him after he had accepted their protection - tection as a guest : She laughed scornfully to see him using still the methods of an hour ago. He little suspected how trenchant a weapon chance had put into her hand since then. "It is true , " she cried , "and their treachery must be undone ; but it can not be by Capt.Estcourt's hand. " He raised his eyebrows. "I did not mention Capt. Estcourt" "No , but you thought of him , and of him only. It is a proof of how little you know or understand his character. " He saw the change of her position , and was yet once more ready for her upon her own ground. "Oh , as for that , " he said , "men are all alike in one respect. When they are in love they are deaf to every other call ; a woman may lead them where she will. " "Not friends like mine , " she answered - swered proudly ; "not a man like this : " "Capt. Estcourt is as honorable a man as most , " he replied , "but I undertake to say that his devotion to you , coupled with a clear explanation of the case 1rom.me , would ensure lis adherence to our cause. " "Never ! " she cried. "Your cunning fallacies may blind weak women , or men whose intellect is keener than their sense of honor , but yotq could not even tempt him for a moment ! " "Will you wager on It ? " asked the colonel with a mocking smile of security. "My life is not my own , " she cried , "but I would stake my fortune on his answer. " "Done , " said the colonel ; "I accept. " She saw the trap now , but scorned re- treat. "Try it ! " she cried , with passionate defiance in her voice. "Try it , and learn with shame what duty means to a strong heart ! " CHAPTER VI. / l' ! ! l Ifl'i ? . t9 r , J OL. DE MONTATIT saw no more of his sister-in-law that evening. On the following day he was up early - ly and breakfasted alone in his room , occupying himself at the same time with the details of a toilet which was intended to make him unrecognizable to those who ordinarily - dinarily knew him , and acceptable to those with whom he had to deal. His identity was thus concealed without - out any loss of personal dignity , such as is usually involved in a disguise , and yet could be resumed without difficulty and almost at a moment's notice. He gave a final glance at the general effect - fect , completed it by the addition of a low-peaked cap of weather-beaten appearance - pearance , and turned from the glass well satisfied. He took with him a small sum of money and no arms ; what difficulties he might meet he hardly I knew yet , but at any rate they would not be of a kind to yield to force. The closed carriage in which he left the house set him down at the entrance of the narrow streets beyond the houses of parliament , and immediately disappeared - peared in the direction in which it had come. He quickly made his way to the river side and hailed a waterman to take him over to the other bank. When the boat was rather more than half way across , however , he appeared to change 1-is mind , and asked whether he could be taken as far as the Tower. The waterman assented readily , gave a single stroke with the left hand , anti in a moment the current was sweeping them rapidly down toward the bridge. It was a bright , keen morning , and the boatman was in a cheerful mood and inclined to be talkative , as is the custom in his trade ; but he got little response or attention from his fare , who was pondering his next move , and had not yet come to the stage when conversation - sation would be of use to him. ( To BE CONTINUi D. ) AS GOOD AS WHEAT. The Farmer , the Fanning 3111 and the flags of Atmosphere. "I see , " remarked the wide-awake farmer to the Buffalo Express man , "that wheat has gone up to 70 cents in Chicago , and there's a report that it will keep goin' till it gets to $1. Now , I'd like to contract to sell you my crop for 70 cents. Seventy cents will do me. I'd rather have a sure tiling while it's goin' than to take my chances on dokn' better by waitin' . " "But , " replied the commission merchant - chant , "I can't agree to contract for your wheat at 70 cents. " "Why not. It's goin' up to $1 , an' you'll make 30 cents a bushel. An't that enough ? " "Oh , yes ; but , you see , that 70 cents is only a speculative price. It an't what they pay for real wheat. " "Don't pay that for real wheat ? What in thunder do they pay it for , then ? " "Why , for options. " "Well , what the blazes are options ? " "Why , they're promises to get wheat and sell it for such and such a price. " "Well , then , they got to get the wheat , an't they ? " "No ; they sell the promises again , according - cording as the market rises or falls. " "An' don't they buy an' sell any real wheat at alt ? " ' Not much. " "Just buy and sell wind at 70 cents a bushel ? " "That's about it. " "Thunder an' Mars ! Wish I'd knowed that last fall. I wouldn't a-sowed any wheat. I'd tied my grain bags to the back o' my fannkn' mill an' kept the boy turnin' it all winter , till I'd filled all the bags I could get hold of. But it an't too late yet.

The top of her head , says the London Daily Tem- graph , was just on a level with the rail of the witness box , and Mr. Dickinson was considerably surprised to hear a small , shrill , piping voice issue from some one he could not see , and say : "Please , sir , I want a summons for abuse. " " Wimt's that ? " asked the learLied gentleman. "Stand up , " cried the usher of the court. The applicant stood on her tiptoes , which enabled the magistrate to see her eyes and half her nose , and repeated : "I'lease , sir , I want a summons for abuse. " ' 'Cer- tainly not , " replied Mr. Dickinson , promptly. "If grown up people are foolish enough to take out summonses for mere vulgar abuse , I am not going to encourage children to do the same. Go away home. " The litigious girl frowned and vent away. I1t grutanta Cttlnpltor let. whit Glyrerinr , Cure. Citapp dpant'andFtceTeud' rorSnreFtet ChllblainaL'Iles.&c. C. U. ClarkCo.NewHaven , Ct.

Satan regarded the black splotch where the ink bottle had shivered on the wall , and a cynical smile played upon his features. "I acknowledge , " he said in the bland manner for which he is celebrated , that somebody has made a base hit , but scarcely comprehend under what rule you thereby render your decision.

The Value or Troa3 How many farmers and others , too , whose places are destitute of fruit and shade trees. Again , how many rented places are devoid of trees of all kinds. Has the land-owder ever stopped to consider that a small 'orchard , a few yard trees around every tenement house will greatly enhance the value , attract and hold a better class of teti- ants , make life more enjoyable and that too at practically no cost ? We tell you there is a great deal of selfishness when we look abroad and see how stingy and selfish many are with their tenants , and oftentimes perchance some good farmer rents his farm and moves away and is so selfish as to reserve all , yes , all the fruit produceddenying even this to his tenant. Land-owners owe their tenants and the public generallya duty by planting at least a moderate quantity of trees. This is a wise public - lic policy.-Ornamental Tree Growing. A Terribin 1'oscibillty.
