CHAPTER II Continued
i When we got the two women bundled
tea board disappointment was not the
jmood in which they took possession of
their new quarters They -were simply
heiighted with everything could not ex
cess their admiration of all the cunning
tittle arrangements must needs ransack
the try and overhaul the cooking ap
paratus were astonished at the conven
ience and snugness of the berths and
jGien when it was intimated to them that
the saloon forward when not required
for meals was to be their own especial
poudoir into which meaner members of
lie company might occasionally be ad
mitted on invitation you should have
jsoen how naturally Queen Tita bgin to
roll up the red silk blinds of the small
rLndows so as to let plenty of light in
Miss Peggy taking her banjo from
find
ts case at once found a hook where it
bould hang
Well I do think this is very comfort
able says the elder of them
I call it perfectly charming says the
younger
I am sure we are very much obliged
o Mr Duncomber where is he And
ine cries Why 1 declare were mov
-
ng
There could be no doubt of the fact
for a glance out at the forward window
showed that we were being towed across
the river by a sinair boat pulled by two
Jmen And of course the two women
brast needs see the start and as that
forward window was found to Open on-
jto a space of deck at the bow they had
po diflieulty In getting out there and
knanding an excellent view of all that
Was going on
j Where was Jack Duncombe all fckis
lime Why he was steering He was
responsible for all the arrangements of
ur -setting forth and his air was seri
ous nofto say important He had neith
er word nor look for the women folk and
they of course knew better than to talk
0 the man at the wheel They humbiy
u Rooked on as he got the boat close to
the bank and springing ashore proceed
wv to get ready the towing- line
i IVe made a sufilciently pleasant start
Efter all and gjad enough were we when
le Titration of the Idng tigutlme and
swishing of water at the bows told
we were really off It was a cheer
ful morning too for if there was no
ive sunlight there was a white glare of
leat the birds ivere twittering every
where the swallows skimming and dart-
lg over the surface jit the silver river
f course this was rather a well known
panorama that was now gliding silently
by the Surbiton villas among their abun
dant gardens with Lore and there a
boating party embarking and here and
acre a rose red sunshade visible under
le young green xf thetrees and in-
some of us may have been wish-
S- tine that wg could set theThaniea wart
Jof our voyage over and done with and
set forth upon Jess familiar waters
It was nearer -eight than half past
wnen we Teacaeu lames ana iounu a
safe mooriDg for the Nameless Barge
he labors and experiences of this our
irst day were over and we went ashore
a placid frame of mind The twilight
ftyas darkening to dusk now- but the
gr Inrushes and blaclibirdsweretill piping
isvery where w
t Dinner ordered at the old familiar Pack
orse one or two of us went out on to
jthe little balcony overlooking the river
ffihe evening was very still There was
a curious metallic gray on the surface of
She stream and as we stood regarding it
k single bronze hued boat went noiseless
ly by floating down with the current and
pi the stern of the boat sitting very close
together were two young people who
plight have been ghosts gliding through
the mysterious gloom
Doesnt if remind you of those nights
In Venice says Miss Peggy rather ab
sently
And then behold far above the dark-
loess of the trees there is the young
- siaoon of a pale silver m the lilac tinted
Itkies arid in the closing down of the
rjfehti the birds are still calling
CHAPTER
i It is early morning calm and clear a
jpale sunlight lies over the green land
scape the masses of foliage are mirrored
ton the smooth waters of the stream
CBhere is quietude on board this gently
gliding boat for Jack Duncombe has
gone ashore to walk with the driver Mur
ftock is in the pantry the two women are
slso within and the -helmsman left soli
dary at his pos t -has little to do but
listen to the universal singing of the
birds and also to look out for shallows
But the quietude is suddenly brolienfa
y woman appears a small woman appaiv
ently half inclined tolaugh and yet as
- - erce as a bantam-
And what do yousthink of yourself
bow she says -
I am pretty well I thank you is the
properly civil answer to this polite in
quiry i
Winy you ought to be ashamed of
irf i i S
I kmK V -
Why do you do it then c s
ffPiiitoa course I you dqnyt knowliow
Von were1 going on last both of
ron In oil my life I never saw- two
human5 belngsi make such an exhibition
pi emselves t wish you could iiave
een yourself s and her too continues
Jhis wildly imaginative and wholly un
Vcracious person whose testimony the
tind reader of these pages will doubt
less estimate at its proper valuer the
underhand talking eyes flxed on eyes the
-sniggering at small jokes that no one
was allowed to hear And then the
bretty dear must jgive you that little
iouQtiet olpansies and of course you
Wouldnt pin it on for yourself oh no aj
Mians fingers are so clumsy and of
- course she must lean over to dit for
yc and be a bunt an hour in doingf it
t
Y WILLFAM JLACK
I wish someone had knocked your two
heads together Then comes out the cir
gar cutter oh yes she saw it in Paris
and thought the combination of silver
and goid rather pretty aTd had your in
itials engraved on it and of course you
cant be behindhand when it is a
of love gifts you go and give her
the silver penholder you have had for
years and that you promised to Ed
ward
What
The boy would- have prized it and
treasured it all his life and that minx
will throw it away or give it to the lirst
young numskull she finds in her train I
do wonder that men will make such idiots
of themselves for nothing but a pretty
face A smooth cheek and a pair v
baby eyes thats enough Dont you -see
that she is merely playing you off
against Mr Duncombe Its all done
to pique him Thats the way she be
gins All these secret confidences and
the attention she pays to your slightest
word and all her unblushing coquetry
that is all done to tantalize him That
cigar cutter she has had it ever since
she came over from Paris why did she
Tvait till last night before giving it to you
In that marked way
I suppose young ladies have a right
to open their portmanteaus when they
please
At all events youneednUencourage
her in her mischief Oh I saw your
tricks Thats a very pretty one youve
taught her of looking into each others
eyes while youre clinking wine glasses
Pledging friendship I suppose Friend
ship And then that stupid old conun
drumWhat kind of weather represents
in r t y
an annual r itain aeari or course you
1 asked hcirthat just to he allowed to call
jherdea r I could see what was going
on
Doubtless
And mark my words as soon as she
has provoked Mr Duncornbe into paying
her attention as soon as she has got him
in a fair way of becoming her slave I
wonder where you will be
Where indeed With the snows of
yesteryear But in the meantime while
heaven vouchsafes such mercies one
mustnt throw them- away dont you
see
Heaven Its very little you know
about Peggy Rosslyn If you think that
heaven has anything to do with her
Just us this atrocious sentiment has
beenuttered -there is suddenly heard the
tinkling of a banjo1 within the saloon a
careless strumming apparently to test
the strings Then we hear a girls voice
also quite careless and we can just make
out something about
My old Kentucky home- far away
The next instant the door opens and
Miss Peggy without herbanjot but ra
diant and fresh as a wild rose in June
and smiling content with herself and all
the world comes out into the daylight
Then says the smaller of the two worn-
en
Look here Teggy no one seems to
take any notice of Mr Duncombe though
he is working so hard for us He has
been quite by himself over since -breakfast
What do yon say shall we go
ashore and walk with him for a bit
Please I wanted- to be shown how to
steer says-Peggy- timidly
And consider this Miss PcsST says
a third person present youll be coming
to Runnymedo very soon
Not the real Runnymede she says
quickly -
The actual and -veritable - meadow
where the barons met and youll see the
place where King John waited oh the
other side and the island between where
Magna Charta was signed
Now heaven grant me patience for
theyre at their English history again
says Mrs Threepenny bit apparently to
herself and then she opens the door be
hind her and calls Here Murdoch
come and get ready the gaugboard Im
going ashore
It was at the entrance tn TYimicm
Home Park where we were charged
ninepence for permission tb passajpng
this portion of the river that Mrs
and her companion came on
board again
By the time we had got through the
lock at Cookham and poled across to the
riverside inn there the dusk had fallen
and orange rays of light from the win
dows of the comfortable looking hostelry
shot through underneath the ancient
yews A good natured boatman guifled
us to convenient moorings Tvhich seemed
to be just outside somebodys garden for
we were imbedded among bushes and
overarched by tall trees and then we
began to light our lamps and candles
and to draw together the tiny red window
curtains while Miss Peggy helped to lay
the cloth for dinner Jack Duncombe
slung a battle of wine over the side to
cool Mrs Threepenny bit apportioned
the napkin rings we were to retain dur
ing the vovace and so forth nm
ently Murdochs welcome appearance
summoned us to gar seats
Now when four people arqdining
notliiniis easier than to keep the
conversation general but when you have
a youngmanvrho is rather anxious to be
brilliant and who
nevertheless will con
stantly address hift hostess evidently ox
pectinglhe other jrtoJisten then per-
uuiib Lii umur iwojimny sueunveiv in
self defense to talkjjy themselves -Moreover
when yon have two and two
courtesy demands that ou should
not speak loudly for you might annoy
your neighbors Besides that Miss Teg
gy was tolling her ipanediatbcompanion
of her experiences of camping out in the
Adiroiidacks while she and her mamuia
were staying at the Sagamore Hotel on
Laiie lieorge Miss Peggy5 eyes said -
more than her words when sheTwas ehak
lenged to make confession And it is to
be imagined that the presence of one
young lady of rather attractive appearr
ance and just a little bit inclined to be
mischievous among those idling young
men did not tend much to thefcultivation
of a generous good fellowship She her
self of course gave quite alifferent red
son for the breaking up ofthe camp
Sho isaid lithe Syoung men fere simply
crowded out It appears thatthey used
to have occasional afterrioonreceptions
to which thoy invited such neighbors as
Cwmwmmm
were witiiii reasonable distance giving
them what little refreshment was
able Bat these festivities proved popu
lar neighbors invited neighbors all sorts
of people came unasked and ihq eliniqxj
was reached when one tall native of the
wilds was overheard to say to another
stranger Be them nuts free That
was Miss Peggys story of the breaking
up of the camp but there may have been
other reasons for those young men for
saking their forest life and going sadly
away back to their homes in Brooklvn
and New York
In the midst of an this Quean Tita is
heard to exclaim
Well I declare Look where he has
hung that cigar cuttpr That is a pretty
kind of thing to wear at ones watch
cnain as a charm
Madame observes the owner of the
article in question for once you are
right It is -a very pretty kind of thing
to war as a charm But supposing it
were not what then Have you lived all
these years without discovering this
that it is not the character of the gift
but the intention of the giver that is of
imporance Isnt that so Miss Peggy
Why of course it is says Miss Peg
gy boldly but with her eyes east down
Oh indeed she says turning to the
girl And you I supose you will have
that silver pencil case mounted and made
into a brooch
looks up laughing but defiant
Why not I think it would do very
well and be such a new idea Why the
British jewelers imagination never gets
beyond a butterfly or a horseshoe You
should see Tiffanys And then the dress
makers are all for making you so sqiiare
shouldercd nowadays an oblong brooch
at your neck would suit very well
-Mrs Tomtit cowed balked jumped J
upon ouisrareu exterminated can onfy
turn and say to her companion ivrith a
sigh of resignation
Did you ever hear such brazen impu
dence
I am afraid you goaded Miss Rosslyn
into it hesays with a smile -which is
meant to carry peacemaking all round the
little board
Well wo sat late after dinner for ev
erything was very siiiig and Comforta
ble and two and twoJinake excellent
companionship- Of i course that arrange
ment did not always exist for occasion
ally Jack Duncombe with a humility we
had never before seen him exhibit ad
dressed Miss Rosslyn direct aiid always
she listened to him attentively -and with
grave and courteous ej es
The next afternoon when we reached
Henley we stopped to bait the horse
there and we all went ashore and of
course for the sake of old associations
made our way to the Red Lion the front
of which was one magnificent mass of
wisteria in full blossom a sight worth
coming all the way to see It was while
we were having tea in the weil known
parlor overlooking the river that Jack
Duncombe made those observations
Wo shall get tofSonuiug to night and
I have been thinking that if Miss Ross
lyn would like to see a capital specimen
of an old fashioned country inn we might
dine at the Bull there Not the White
Hart down by the riverside that is be
loved of cockneys bat the Bull that the
artists who know the Thames swear by
It wont be exactly like dining at the
Bristol but it wilf be a good deal more
picturesque What do you say Miss Ross
lyn
Miss Rosslyn who has taken off her
sailor hat thereby graciously revealing to
us all the beautiful masses of her golden
brown -hair and is twirling the same on
her forefinger makes answer- very pret
tily I am sure whatever you all think
best will be4 best Everything has been
delightfully arranged so far it is like a
fairy dream to nip don t ask meto
give any opinion please it will be much
better to leave it in your hands
When we arrive at our destination arid
walk up through jthe little village to the
Bull inn there is just enough light to give
our young American friend some vague
idea of what the place is iike the quaint
old fashioned building of -brick and tim
ber With its red tiled roof its peaked
windows- and smaii paned casements the
creepers trained up the wall the large or
chard on one side of the house the row
of tall limes in front Inside there is
another tale to tell for we have made
our way along thomeven flooring of the
corridors and stumbled headlong into the
apartment where we are to dine we find
that lighted up by a ul blaze of
lamps and everything looking very snug
and comfortabie indeed

Kich Country Opened Up
i n
By the first of April the completion ofa
new extension of the Burlington Bailroad
system will open up an entirely new sec
tion of -country A territory never be
fore accessible for lack of railroads but
which is wouderfuliy rich in mining graz
ing and agricultural possibilities
It has already been completed from Al
liance on the Burlingtons line in
west Nebraska thirty seven miles south
to Bridcenort on the North Platte river
structed about 100 miles along the north
bank of the North Platte to Guernsey
Wyo which will prpbably be the rail
road and commercial center of what is
celled in the history of the West is about
to be inaugurated in the Hartvilie mining
region The stock business further back
from the river is carried on extensively
and there is reason to believe that Guern
sey will be a busy shipping point for live
stock
This new field of industry is attracting
the attention of all classes of -people J

The Lourenzo Marques report is totally
at variance with recent British dis
patches
Those who tbelieve the prevailing ru
mors that Cronje has been surrounded
are disturbed by an opinion which -has
gathered strength the last few days that
the Boer force retreating on Bioemfon
tein before Kitchener and Kelley Kerihy
is not Cronjes army at all but a big
Boer supply train convoyed by a Free
State commando sufficiently strong to
give the impression of an army in retreat
The censors in Natal have crvefully
concealed Gen Bullets intentions and
-as a result the latters report of tho
fighting to the cast of Colenso lacks m
terest
Some think that Bullerg move
ment is nothing more than a demonstra
tion calculated to occupy the attention
of the Boers in Natal while Roberts
moves in the Free State Others believe
that the British are trying for the fourth
time to force the Tugela and relieve
Ladysmith but are careful to state tiiat
their ground for this belief is thatBuller
has received information that the Boer
force in Natal lias already been weaken
ed by drafts to re enforce the federal
troops defending Ijree State territory
Encouraging news conies from Buller
in Natal where he is pushing steadily
northward toward Ladysmith though
meeting with slight resistance and occu
pying hills and points of vantage evacu
ated by the burghers Already the fourth
dogged attempt of- Sir Redvers has re
sulted in pushing the enemy back across
the Tugela and the- planting of British
guns on Monte Cristo mountain and
Mount Hlangwaui
Lord Kitchener was hot after Cronjes
fleeing column at last reports and had
captured oyer 150 supply and ammunition
wagons together with large quantities of
cattle The movement of Gen Buller
before Ladysmith resulted in the capture
of a large number of stores This is
taken to indicate that the Boers are in
severe straits else they would not give
up sychjahiable adjuncts to an armys
success
THE NATIONAL CENSUS
Its Taking Will Occupy One Month
and Will Cost 12000000
The work of taking the twelfth census
of the United States will begin June 1
and the enumeration must be completed
by the first of the following month- To
accomplish this vast undertaking 50000
enumerators will be required
000000 of people must be recorded with
in thirty days and there will therefore
be an average of 250J000 a day In
towns and cities of 8000 inhabitants or
over it is required that the work must
be finished in two weeks however and
this will uiako the daily average stili
greater- - -
The work is not especially remunera
tive It is estimated that the average
amount paid to enumerators all overthe
country is about G0 This is based pro
portionately upon the amount of wjprk
done but in any event will not run mucli
over this amount except for those who
are retained for special -work in getting
statistics after the census work properis
finished It is said that for some of these
