ICI { SET HIS
teeth and turned
without a word to
the colonel for the
etplanatlon.
The colonel was
not for a moment at
a loss ; he had long
been 'preparing for
the present difficult
situation , and nt w
that he had the opportunity -
portunity of dealing
I with Dick and Camilla separately , he
was no longer doubtful of the result.
Hls last anxiety vanished with the
i haughty figure now disappearing bet -
t neath the companion-hatch.
b He linked his arm in Dick's with a
friendly' smile , and began to walk him
slowly up and down the deck in silence.
l "My friend , „ he said presently , "my
sister-In-law and you misunderstand
each other ; you are both young , and
youth is so intolerant of difference ! I
am older , and I understand you both. I
am less prejudiced , and can sympathize
1 with each in turn. I am happy to be
here , for I have no doubt , " he continued -
tinued , "that I shall be able to effect
a speedy reconciliation. "
"But what Is the matter ? " cried Dick.
"I don't understand ! "
"Precisely , " replied the colonel ; "nor
does Madame de Montaut. You do not
I ( . see why your very natural refusal to
r join our little plot should cause any one
r surprise or pain. She , on the other
hand , has never thought of the dtffl-
i culty of it from your Point of view.
e. She supposed you to have accepted , and
I was therefore sharply disappointed at
finding that we must do without you ,
after all. "
"Yes , yes ! " cried Dick ; "I know all
J about the mistake. Of course you all
thought Thad accepted when I came
to Russell street that unlucky morning ;
f but hcw could you , how could she ,
t think me for a moment capable of dot -
t fug such a thing ? That's what hurts
t me. "
"illy dear Estcourt , " answered the toll -
l onel , . with a deprecatory smile , "you
musn't be too hard on us. I confess I
ought to have known better , but I was
hard put to it. As for Madame de
Montaut , she never understood the
question. I fear the line I took may
i have been the cause , for she trusts me
perhaps more implicitly than she ought
t to do , " and the colonel snook his gray
head with a very becoming modesty.
"And then you must remember , " he
continued , "that she knew you were
) friendly with Lord Glamorgan and other -
, er members of the opposition who pros -
s fess to desire nothing so much as the
.Emperor's liberation. I suppose their
speeches are but counsels of perfection ,
and not intended to be taken literally ,
but that IS one of the things we in
France can never understand about you
English. We are the slaves of logic ,
and cannot comprehend how a man can
preach gravely what he would think it
wrong for himself or any one else to
put Into practice. "
Dick was vanquished ; and indeed he
wished no better fate. He was lost fn
1 a foretaste of the delightful days to
come , and was only brought to himself
I by the sudden recollection that they
would be fewer than he would be allowing -
i
lowing himself to reckon. He turned
L round upon the colonel.
"Why must you leave us so soon ? "
h he asked abruptly.
h The colonel was staggered for a mo-
. ment.
t
"So soon ? " he said ; "so soon as
! what ? "
j "The captain said you were only going -
ing as far as Ascension. "
"Ali , yes ! " said the colonel , recovering -
ing himself ; "Ascension. Yes , that's
I all. "
"You can't be meaning tb stay on
such a desert island , " said Dick , a-trem-
ble with hope. "I suppose we can wait
I while you do your business there and
take you on to the Cape afterward ? "
"Thank you , " replied the colonel , glv-
ing him a meaning look ; "but we cannot
i
not afford to go quite so far as the
Cape , though I.confess to you in confidence -
fidence that we do not intend to stay'
I longer than we can help at Ascension. "
Dick reflected , and In a moment or
two he had comprehended the meaning
of this remark. About half-way in a
direct line between Ascension and the
Cape lies the Island of St. Helena ; that
of course wasthe De Montauts' real
destination. He understood now why
they had sailed In the Hamilton under
false names. He saw , too , that he must
abandon all hope of prolonging the time
of their companionship with him , for
the Speedwell could not land the con-
epirators at St. Helena without becoming -
ing in some degree their accomplice.
M. de Montaut was watching him all
this time , and read his face like , an
open book. .
"Now then , „ he said , at last , „ I am
going down to speak to my sister-In-
law. I think you had better wait for
me up here , If you don't mind. "
Dick willingly assented , and the colonel -
onel left him to pace the deck alone
while he went off to attempt the second
and more difficult part of his medita-
.
, ' Ah ! " be murmured to himself , as he
made his way below , "It is easy enough
'to pursuade a man of anything , more
especially if it's not the truth ; but
' Camilla is unfortunately not a man.
Never mind , " he added , as he knocked
' at her door , "she must : pursuade her-
' i : relf , that's , all. " And he entered the
t , cabin' with as meek and > helpless an
expression as he could manage to put
ea _ . . . .
I- I t
Camilla was in a state of feverish agi-
tation. She attacked him at once.
" % Vell , " she cried , "and what does this
mean , sir ? "
The colonel hung his head.
"Dld I not tell you , " she continued ,
that if Captain Estcourt went with
you I should stay behind ? "
1 thought perhaps you might think
better of It. "
"Do I generally threaten what 1 do
not mean to carry out ? " she retorted.
To this he made no answer , and his
silence suggested , as It was intended
to do , that it was now rather late In
the day for the fulfillment of this particular -
ticular threat.
"Do you not' see , " she went on , "into
what a position your foolish obstinacy
has entrapped me ? "
"I am very sorry , " murmured the
colonel.
"It is infamous of you , " she cried.
"Here we are , with our enterprise already -
ready launched ; for me to turn back
now would be to forfeit my share in
the glory of success ; to send him away
would be to ruin it all. "
"I'm afraid it would , " raid the colonel ,
in a tone of discouragement ; and he
looked about' him frowning , as if perplexed -
plexed at the difficulty of the dilemma.
Carnllla's indignation was by this
time beginning to exhaust itself. To
hammer so abject an opponcnt was
merely beating the air , and of that the
strongest fighter soon wearies.
"What am I to do ? " she cried in de-
spair.
"Couldn't you goon as you are doIng -
Ing ? " he suggested.
"What ! live for a fortnight cooped
up here with a man whom I've insulted
to his face ? "
' "It's not your fault , " lie replied ; "he
brought ! t on himself. "
"No , no ! he did not ! " she answered ,
hotly. "It was your doing from the
beginning. "
I asked him to come , I admit , " said
the colonel ; "but he shouldn't have ac-
cepted. "
"How can you , " she exclaimed , "how
dare you , compare his share in it with
your own ? You were the tempter , you
were the suggester of evil. His conduct -
duct in yielding may seem strange to
us , but we can not tell what good reasons -
sons he may have had for taking a less
severe view of his duty in this instance.
IIe belongs to a party which has long
favored the Emperor's release ; he was
no longer actually employed in the En-
lish government , which has treated him
with Ingratitude ; he ryas chivalrously
devoted to us , his friends , and there
may have been other reasons. I could
wish that he had acted differently , but
I will not hear you blame him. "
The colonel hugged himself in secret.
It was an exquisite pleasure to hear his
own sophistries arrayed against him
and to see them working out his own
purpose after all. Some gleam of satisfaction -
faction must have twinkled from a
crevice In his assumed stolidity , for
Camilla stopped , as if partly conscious
of something inconsistent' her argu-
ment.
"Don't misunderstara me , " she cried ;
"I do not take back anything of what
I said. " He Interrupted her.
"Of course not , " he said ; "I was
waiting to remind you that as we are
to touch at Ascension , you have stilt
a free choice ; we could easily land you
there for a fortnight , and take' you off
again on our return from St. Helena.
You would lose none of the credit of the
undertaking , and you would share the
Emperor's triumphal return to Europe. "
"I will consider that , " she replied ,
"before we reach Ascension ; but it was
not what I was thinking of. What I
meant to tell you was that in any case
I refuse to have Captain Estcourt
forced upon me as a colleague. I define -
fine to recognise him in that position ,
and you may tell him that if fie and
I are to meet , it must be on other
ground , and expressly on condition
that the object of this voyage is never
mentioned. "
The colonel sighed ; not , as she supposed -
posed , with resignation , but with relief
and perfect satisfaction.
"I will go to him at once , " he said ,
and left the cabin , still dejected and
submissive in appearance.
As he climbed the companion-ladder ,
however , his demeanor underwent a
complete change , and it was with a
beaming face that he emerged up the
deck , where Estcourt was anxiously
awaiting his return.
"It is all right ; 'he said , cordially ;
"I knew it would be. , She has quite
got' the better of her disappointment ,
and is sorry for having hurt your feelings -
ings just now. Her Indignation , it appears -
pears , was not directed at you but me ,
whom she blames severely for having
been the original cause for all this trou-
ble. I confess it , but I assure you I
was far from intending to estrange you
from us. "
"Don't say another word ! " cried Dick ,
seizing his hand and shaking it in a
fervor of gratitude. "I'm your debtor
for the rest of my life. But now let me
go to her at once. "
"Stay a moment" said the colonel ,
holding him by the sleeve ; "let me give
you one last hint before you go. . No
wise man expects an apology from a
woman under any circumstances. "
" .Apology ! " Dick broke in Impatiently.
"Of course nbt ! "
"Very well , then , " continued his companion -
panion , "that being so , ft will prevent
any possible awkwardness if you ignore
the late regrettable incident altogether.
And I may add that I know you would
consulting her own wishes if you
refrained from mentioning the object
of our voyage at all. The subject is
not one with pleasant associations as
between herself and you. "
Dick thought the colonel a model of
judgment and kindness. He thanked
him again hastily , and went below with
a beating heart. Camilla was in the
saloon by himself ; she flushed when he
entered , but greeted him naturally , and
without any reference to what had
passed. While her hand iay in his she
looked at him a little sadly , he fancied ,
as though a tinge of her first disap-
- -
r-
potntment still remained ; but that surely -
ly was natural enough , and needed only
time to efface it from her memory.
Meanwhile he had a fortnight , a whole
age-of happiness before him. The colonel -
onel , who had calculated with nicety
the time he ought to allow them , now
came discreetly in and suggested breakfast -
fast ,
"Certainly , " said Dick ; "it is long
past the time ; but where's Captain
SVorsely ? "
"Oh , " replied the colonel ; "haven't
they told you ! "He's got a fever , and
can't leave his berth today. "
"That's rather sharp work , " said
Dick ; "he seemed all right when I left
the ship yesterday. "
"Yes , " said the colonel , "there is a
sudden kind of feverish attack which
Is not uncommon , I am told , in these
latitudes. It took him quite suddenly ,
just as we came on board ; he was very
queer , and kept me up late into the
night talking in the most random man-
ner. I thought you must have heard
us , " he added , with a quick , searching
giahce at Dlck.
"I did hear you' " replied the latter.
"And that reminds me that I also heard ,
or fancied I heard , a boat Put off in
the middle of the night , and cone
aboard some time later. "
"Just so , " said the colonel ; "that wab
what he and I were arguing about. I
wanted some things I had forgotten
fetched from the Hamilton , and Captain -
tain Worsley refused me a boat but I
got my own way at last with same dif-
ficulty. " And having fired off this explanation -
planation which he had ready loaded
and primed for some time past , he
turned the conversation adroitly back
to the Hamilton , and the incidents of
their voyage from England. When the
meal was over. Dick remembered the
captain again.
I can't say I regret old Worsley's
temporary absence , " he remarked , "for
I prefer very much our present' party
or three ; but I think I must go anti
see him , for the sake of civility. "
"I don't think I would , If I wore you , "
said the colonel lightly ; "he's still ratter -
er over-excitable this morning , and h ,
has apparently , for some absurd rca-
son , taken a dislike to you. "
Dick laughed. "I'm not afraid of his
tongue " he said ; "I'm shot-proof
against marine gunnery. " And he went
toward the door. The colonel turned
away and bit his mustache. He dared
not insist further , for fear of arousing
suspcon ! ! ; for , upon the face of it ,
what could it matter to him whether
Dick went or not ? But in rehlity a hood
deal was at stale , an Dick's sudden
resolve had taken him for once unpre-
pared. So he sat still , and listened with
desperate anxiety to hear what would
follow. The Speedwell's construction
between decks was not quite that of an
ordinary brig. She was large , but , as
was only reasonable In a ship carrying
government stores , she had no provision
for a number of passengers , but was
instead fitted with unusually ample
quarters for the captain and three or
four others. Thus , while the saloon
was small , there were on each sde of
it three good cabins , or rather staterooms -
rooms , instead of the ordinary berths.
On the starboard side Madame de IIon-
taut : the colonel , and Dick were quartered -
tered ; on the opposite side were the
captain's two rooms and the mate's
cabin. A narrow passage was left on
each side between these state-rooms
and the saloon. The colonel , with his
head against the wooden wall of the
latter , could hear perfectly all that
passed on the other side ; and , in fact ,
when Dick stood at the captain's door
he was within a yard of him. First
he heard him knock once , anti again
louder. There was no answer. The colonel -
onel was rigid , but his eyes betrayed
intense anxiety. Camilla had fortunately -
nately gone to her own cabin , and
there was no one to observe his un-
concealable agitation. Dick knocked a
third time. The colonel ground hip
teeth and drew in his breath. A rattling -
tling noise followed. Instantly the tension -
sion of his limbs relaxed , and a look
of relief spread over his face. Dick had
tried the door and found it locked. The
colonel got up and wiped his brow. His
secret was safe now , and he must get
ready for another little scene in the
comedy , which could not be long de-
layed.
Dick meanwhile was knocking , again ,
and calling Captain Horsley by name.
Still there was no reply , and he began
to fear that the unfortunate man had
fainted , with no one at hand to look
after him. lie turned to the mate's
room. It was empty. He knocked more
loudly yet on the captain's door. Finally -
ly he was about to rush away to find
the mate on deck , when he caught the
sound of some one moving about inside
the room.
"Open , open ! " he cried "Why don't
you open ? "
The door swung inward as he spoke.
A strange man stepped quickly out.
Then , as Dick drew back , he stooped
and coolly locked the door behind him.
As he raised his head again , Dick.
stared at him in amazement. It was
not Captain Worsley , but Hernan John-
stone , the pilot of the Edgar at Copen-
hagen.

Ring out the Old.
A manifest absurdity is the practice ,
still apparently universal , of figuring
and stating the gearing of the bicycle.
It is a survival of the tmfittest. When
the safety bicycle first came in competition -
petition with the ordinary or high
wheel , it was. quite natural that they
should be compared , and it was proper
that the crank revolutions of the one
should be stated in terms of the other ,
but now that the ordinary is absolutely
dead , why should the old and always'
inconvenient practice be retained ? It
would evidently be better all around to
give the crank effect of the safety either
in the feet of i oad traversed per cramk
revolution or in the number of revolutions -
tions to the mile , Thus , a 54-inch machine -
chine might be called a 14-foot wheel
for the number of feet to the revolution ,
or it might be called a 373 wheel fcr the
number of treads to the mile. Almost
any method would be better than the
present historical relic.-American
Machinist.
Mr. David H. Wyckoff recentiy wrote
that a million horse power could not
produce the effect that a single flash
of lightning has been known to ac-
omplish. He believed that we have
yet hardly begun to utilize the fotcs
of nature.

Bedroom Rugs.
A pretty little amateur artist has
made for herself a pair of charming
bedroom runs. The material is burl -
l laps , lined with old carpets , to rive it
1 body. The design is taken from the
motif of the wall paper , and represents
I timothy grass , redtop and clovers ,
painted in shadesof olives , tans , browns
and oldpink , the colors greatly diluted ,
I so as to give a printed , rather than a
painted effect. Golden and brown butterflies -
terflies are poised here and there , and
a busy bumble bee almost buzzes , head
down , in a great clover bloom.
The rugs arc edged with a flax
1 fringe , in the shade of the burlap. In
painting grasses and leaves a mistake
frequently made by amateurs is to have
them all too much of a color. Shade
effects should be introduced by having
those at the back in faint grays , and in
much lighter tones of all the colors
used ,
The Fa slrlonabto Magpie Contrast.
The magpie contrast , which is the
name given to the effect when black
and white are brought together , is well
displayed in a bonnet intended for
evening wear at concert or opera during -
ing the season. The small , rather low
crown is of white satin felt , the tiny
strips being braided in basket fashion.
The narrow brim is of softly-twisted
black velvet , cut out at the back so
that the hair shows below , while there
are falling over it two of the lon" ,
hornlike-shaped rosettes so much facn
tied , daintily made of fine duchesse
lace. A narrow twist of white satin is
just above the velvet at the edge of the
crown , and on one side there stands up
aa ten-inch white pompon , while on the
other is a star-shaped buckle of Rhine-
stones.relvet ties come with this bon-
net.
Deafness Can Not Be Cureft
By local applications , as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness ,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition -
dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian -
tachian Tube. When the tube is inflamed -
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing and when it is entirely -
tirely closed Deafness is the result , and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to Its normal
condition , hearing will be destroyed forever -
ever ; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh , which Is nothing but an inflamed -
flamed condition of the mucous sur-
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any 'case of Dearness ( caused by Catarrh -
tarrh ) that cannit be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars , free ,

how to Set Up n Christmas Tree.
As generally set up the Christmas
tree is a rather shaky affair , top-heavy.
and in constant danger of being tipped
over when it is touched. If yon want
a substantial base for it , but one that
will allow of its being moved easily
without any danger of its being upset ,
go to some hardware store and borrow
a set of stove trucks. Cover them with
ioards fastened securely to their
frames. In the center make a hole
large enoug to admit the base of your
tree. Fasten strips of wood from each
corner of the trucks to the tree , in such
a manner as to brace it firmly in place.
The casters under the frame will allow
you to move the tree easily and safely.
Gloves.
Gloves must fit well They may not
lie in loose folds or "bag" in the fln-
gers. Neither may they fit so tightly
as to cause the buttons to burst , the
seams to rip , the palm to split , the
blood to congeal and other unpleasant
things to happen. A tight glove is to
the hand what a tight shoe is to the
foot. It enlarges the knuckles , makes
the hand misshapen and gives it a mot -
tied , purplish hue.
Chocolate is still used in the interior of
South America for a currency , as are
cocoanuts and eggs.
Easy Circumstances.
A young man inherited wa0,000 from
an aunt , and by a course of extravagance -
gance and speculation was pretty soon
at the end of his fortune. "llon'ever , "
said one of his friends , "Bill isn't with-
outresources. lie has two more bunts. "
Like this , but different was the case
of a colored man , concerning whom , according -
cording to the Yankee Blade , a neighbor -
bor of his own race was called to testify
in court.
"Witness , " said the opposing lawyer ,
"you speak of Mr. Smith as 'well off. '
, Tust what do you mean ? Is he worth
$5,000 ?
"No , sah ? "
"Two thousand ? "
"No , sah ; he ain't worth 25 cents. "

HE COMING YEAR , you will , no doubt , decide on securing the best , especially if the best costs less than ,
I something inferior , both in quality and quantity. Tie Omaha lice. always to the front of the
newspapers in the west , has long been recognized as one of the. leading publications in the country. It t
has done more , and is now doing more , toward upbuilding the great west , than any other paper.
tL
About two years ago its publishers , determined to brinm The Weekly Bee into every farrnhouac in the e
west , especially in its own state and the states immediately adjoining Nebraska , put the price down to
65 Cents per year , an unheard of figure for a l-page weekly publication. This price still urertis Nnt
Content with this the publishers of 'Ihe Bee cast about for some additional first class publication of national
reputation , to offer with The Bee at a price that would not exceed the figure usually charged for a sin le
weekly paper. Last year the New York Tribune , ( Horace Greeley's paper ) was secured , and this paper w : + s Ij
offered with the Weekly Bee for 90 Cents per year. A similar arrangement has been made this y sr. In ?
addition , a similar contract has been made whir the Cincinnati Enquirer. a paper that ranks as hira among the
Democratic publications of this country as the New York Tribune does among the ltepublcan : newspapers.
To sum up-we make the following four offers for this season , confident that they are equaled nowhere. f.
either in the quality of matter published nor in the quantity of rood up-to date , reliable news
