CHAPTER JIL Cintinued
It is gratifying to be able to state that
flaring the whole of this evening the con
flict of Miss Ilosslyn was quite beyond
reproach Young Duncombe was in rath
tr an eager and talkative mood perhaps
from the consciousness that he was en
tertaining those people and she paid him
ixe most scrupulous and courteous atten
tion Whether he was in jest or in earn
est she listened and he had adopted a
kind of attitude to
ward her and often her eyes smiled as
fcent and approval even when she did not
ipeak One could see that Queen Tita
occasionally threw a glance toward the
tfrl that seemed to savor of sarcasm
but women are like that and are not to
be heeded
Now when we left this 6nug hostelry
to return to our Nameless Barge the
two women led the way and they had
their arms interlinked and were engaged
b conversation What that conversa
tion was we were not permitted to over
hear but on reaching the boat which
was all lighted up by the way and in
the darkness looked something like one
of those illumined toy churches with col
teed windows that Italians used o Fell
m the streets it was found that Miss
eggy was pretending to be very much
annoyed with her friend She wore an
Injured air When Murdoch had got out
the gangboard and we were all in the sa
loon again Mrs Threepenny bit went
tnd took down the banjo
Come now Peggy dont be vexed
When I talk to you its for your good
Come along now and well have Carry
me back to old Virginny as a kind of
general good night
Oh no says Miss Peggy Im afraid
Mr Duncombe would think it stupid for
no one knows the words5
Miss Peggy reaches over and takes the
instrument that is handed to her
No she says but Ill try an English
ballad I heard a little while ago I dont
know whether I can manage it with this
thing
She struck the strings and almost di
rectly we recognized the prelude of one
- of the quaintest and prettiest of the old
ballad airs And then Miss Peggy sang
MEarly one morning just as the sun was
rising
J heard a maid sing in the valley be
low
0 dont deceive me Oh never leave
me
1 Sow could you use a poor maiden so
ndtherewithal she looked across the
taBle at Queen Tita with eyes that spoke
f injury and reproach as clearly as the
mischief in them would allow
CHAPTER IV
All this Tvorld of young summer foliage
fras thirsting for rain you could have
Imagined that the pendulous leaves of the
lime trees hardly moving in the light air
Df the morning were -whispering among
themselves and listening for the first soft
patterings of the longed for shower They
trere likely to get it too The swifts
and swallows were flying low over the
river the sky was a uniform pale white
without any definite trace of cloud there
was a feeling of moisture in the faint
rtirring wind It was -when we were
passing Holme Park that it began a few
touches on hand or cheek almost imper
ceptible then heavier drops striking on
the glassy surface of the stream each
with its little bell of air and widening
circle around it The four of us were
ow together in the stern Murdoch be
ing engaged in the pantry On this ocea
tion Jack Duncombe was entertaining
ns -with s lively account of certain gaye
Ues and festivities that had taken place
Just before he left town Incidentally he
mentioned the banjo craze and made
merry over the number of people among
bis own acquaintance who with a liqht
ieart had set about learning to play
ind who had suddenly been brought rin
short through want of ear or some other
cause
i I had a try myself he said modest-
ty but I soon got to the end of my
tether
But you play a little said Miss
Peggy
Oh yes a little in a mechanical sort
jf way It isnt everybody has the extra
ordinary lightness of touch that you
have
I am not a player at all she said I
am only a strummer Anyhow my banjo
wants a thorough tuning some time or
ther and I should be so much obliged
to you if you would help me if you would
crew up the pegs while I tune the
strings it is much easier so
Not in the rain he protested for a
much less ready witted young man than
he could not have failed to perceive the
shanee -before him No we will go into
the saloon and have a thorough over
hauling of the strings It will be a cap
ital way of passing the time for I dont
Jee much prospect of the weather clear
ing at present
She was quite obedient She rose and
shook the rain drops from her sleeves
and skirts and passed through the door
that he had courteously opened for her
Jie immediately following When they
l liad disappeared Queen Tita was
left ftlone with the steersman
That young man had better take
care she remarked significantly
Why what have you to say against
her now Did you ever see anvbodv be
have better more simply and frankly
tad straightforwardly
If you only knew it was when Peggy
b best behaved that she is most danger
ous was the dark answer She doesnt
take all that trouble for nothing you may
be sure
You are always inventing spiteful
things about women
Perhaps you can tell me how long it
takes to tunc up a banjo
They certainly were an unconscionable
time about it The rain had aTBpst

the sky warm grays that had a cheer
ful look about them and the birds had
resumed their singing filling all the air
with a harmonious music We crossed
the mouth of the River Kennet thus be
ginning the long loop which we hoped to
complete by means of the Thames Sev
ern Avon and Kennet wdth the inter
mediate canals until we should return to
this very spot
Nearing Purley the towpath twice
crosses the river and now Jack Dun
combe appears at the bow and gets hold
of the long pole -while Miss Rosslyn
comes along and joins her friends aft
T had no idea it had left off raining
she observes innocently
I hope you got the banjo properly
tuned one of us says to her
Oh yes it is much better now she
answers pleasantly and with an artless
air But Mr Duncombe was too mod
est He can play very fairly indeed
He played twoor three things just to try
the banjo and I was quite surprised
Oh you can give him some lessons
Pcsgy her friend says but the young
lady wont look her way and the sar
casmif any was intended is lost
We moored at Wallingford that night
and by the time that dinner was ready it
was dusk enough to have the lamps and
candles lighted And perhaps as we sat
in this little room and observed our
young dEamatists feeble efforts to guess
at what dishes were the handiwork of the
amateur cooks the place looked all the
more snug that the pattering of the rain
on the roof was continually audible
Dinner over the two women folk retir
ed to the upper end of the saloon next
to the big window and Mrs
took down the banio and without
a word handed it to Miss Peggy
Ah I know what will fetch you the
girl said with a not unkindly smile
She struck a few low notes of introduc
tion and then began Once in the dear
jdead days beyond recall It was an air
that suited her contralto voice admirably
and when she came to the refrain Just
a song at twilight when the lights are
low she sang that with a very pretty
pathos indeed insomuch that when she
had ended Queen Tita did not thank her
with any speech but she put her hand
within the girls arm instead and let it
remain there With her disengaged arm
Miss Peggy held out the banjo
You now she said to Mr Duncombe
in her frank way
He tool the banjo from her of course
Oh I cant sing he said but Ill
try to give you some idea of a Tather
quaint little ballad that most people know
of though very few have heard the
whftle of it I imagine
Then he sang with good expression if
with no great voice
Its I was a walking one morning in
May
To hear the birds singing and see lamb-
kins play
I espied a young damsel so sweetly sung
she
Down by the Green Bushes where she
chanced to meet me
Remember said he the words were
written down from memory and I may
have got them all wrong
Then he went on
Oh why are you loitering here pretty
maid
Tm waiting for my true love softly she
sain
Shall I be your true love and will you
agree
To leave the Green Bushes and follow
with me
Ill buy you the beavers and fine silken
gowns
Ill give you smart petticoats flounced to
the ground
Ill buy you fine jewels and live but for
thee
If yoall leave your own true and
follow with me
The flounced petticoats make me think
the ballad must be old said the trouba
dour and he continued
Oh I want not your beavers nor your
silks nor your hose
For Im not so poor as to marry for
clothes
But if youll prove constant and true
unto me
Why Ill leave the Green Bushes and
follow with thee
Come let us be going kind sir if you
please
Oh let us be going from under these
trees
For yonder is coming my true love I see
Down by the Green Bushes where he
was to meet me
And itw when he came there and found
she was gone
He was nigh heart broken and cried out
forlorn
She has gone with another and for
saken xne
And left the Green Bushes where she
used to meet me
Well now I call that just delightful
Miss Peggy cried at once Why I
havent lieard anything so quaint and
pretty for many a day Just delightful
I call it Mr Duncombe it is always
a shame to steal peoples songs and espe
cially this one that is in a kind of way
your own property but really I should
like to take it back home with me Would
you mind singing it over to me some
other time I think I could remember
it
But I will copy it out for you he
said instantly
It would be too much trouble she
rather faint heartedly suggested
It would give me a great deal of pleas
ure to copy it out for you said he quite
earnestly and she thanked him with her
eyes cast down
We had some further playing and sing
ing but no Virginny oh no she was
too well behaved the time was not yet
And by-and-by the hour arrived for our
retiring t our several bunks
CHAPTER Y
It rained the next morning but the
afternoon was clearing though there was
still an April look about the banked up
clouds with their breadths of bronze or
saffron hued lights here and there We
had had some thoughts of pushing on
V
6-
Oxford that evening but as rain began
io fall again and as we wished Miss
Peggys first impressions of the famous
university town to be favorable we re
solved upon passing the night at Abing
don Indeed we were all of ns glad to
get in out of the wet and when water
proofs had been removed and candles
lighted the blinds drawn and Murdochs
ministrations placed on the table it did
not much matter to us what part of
England happened to be lying alongside
our gunwale
We had no music this evening for ev
ery one was busy in getting his br her
things ready for going ashore on the fol
lowing morning Alas for our fond de
sire that Miss Peggy should approach
Oxford -under favorable influences of
weather All that night it rained hard
in the morning it was raining hard when
we left Abingdon it was pouring in tor
rents
Well we may get a better day before
we leave Oxford We are not likely to
encounter a worse The rain keeps peg
ging away in a steady unmistakable
business like fashion as we draw nearer
to those half hidden spires among the
trees The river is quite deserted there
is not a single boat out on the swollen
and rushing stream And so we get on
to Salters rafts and secure our moorings
there while Jack Duncombe
volunteers to remain behind and
settle up with Palinurus and see our
luggage forwarded to the hotel In a
few minutes three of us are in a cab
and driving through the wan cold drip
ping black gray thoroughfares And iris
little that the grave and learned seniors
of those halls and colleges suspect that a
certain Miss Peggy has arrived in Ox
ford town
Now whether it was that the gay
morning that had raised Miss Peggys
spirits and thereby in a measure soften
ed her heart or whether it was that she
was bent on a little willful mischief af
ter having played Miss Propriety during
these past few days she was now show
ing herself a good deal kinder to Jack
Duncombe and he was proportionately
grateful as he went with the women
from shop to shop and carried their par
cels for them
We went to the Canal Companys of
fice to get our permit and then walked
along to the first lock a little toy box
kind of basin it looked and there we
loitered about for awhile in expectation
of the Nameless Barge making its ap
pearance Time passed and there was
no sign Of course it was all very well
I for those young people to be placidly con
tent with this delay and to heed nothing
so long as they could stroll up and down
in the sunlight and the blowing winds
her eyes from time to time showing that
he was doing his best to amuse her but
more serious people wlio had been read
ing the morning papers of the hurricanes
and inundations that had recently pre
vailed over the whole country and whose
last glimpse of the Isis was a yellow
colored stream rushing like a mill race
began to be anxious Accordingly it was
proposed and unanimously agreed that
we should make our way back along the
river bank to gain some tidings
When at length we came in sight of
our gallant craft and her composite crew
we found that Captain Columbus was
making preparations for getting her un
der a bridge and also that about half the
population of Oxford had come out to
see the performance
at the low arch and at the headstrong
current it was with no feelings of satis
faction nevertheless we all embarked
to see what was about to happen and
Murdoch took the tiller while the tow
rope was passed to the Horse Marine
Now we should have run no serious risk
but for this circumstance half of the
bridge had recently fallen down and the
authorities instead of rebuilding it had
contented themselves with blocking up
the roadway Accordingly when as we
had almost expected the Nameless
Bargt got caught under the arch we
found the masonry just above our heads
displaying a series of very alarming
cracks and the question was as to which
of those big blocks loosened by the fric
tion of the boat would come crushing
dawn upon us However the worst that
befell us was that we got our eyes filled
with dust and our hands half flayed with
the gritty stone and eventually we were
dragged through and towed to a place of
seclusion
And that was but the beginning of our
new experiences for when Columbus
and the Horse Marine having reappeared
we went on to the first lock of the
canal we found the toy basin so narrow
that we had to detach our fenders befora
we could enter Then came another
bridge that had almost barred our way
by reason of the lowness of the arch And
that again was as nothing to the succeed
ing bridges we encountered as we got
into the open country Nevertheless we
managed to get on somehow and these
recurrent delays and difficulties only
served to give variety pnd incident to our
patient progress

Paraguays Particular Pleas
Perhaps the plague in Paraguay is
merely an attack of pigue or sand flea
This insect is called nigua in the native
language In 1S70 it killed a whole col

colony at Acegua -was driven out The
ipigue causes buboes and attacks the
warmest parts of the body that is the
cavities of the groin and arm pit just
the same spots as the Eastern plague
It attacks Englishmen and German
preferentially and ayoids those that
use but little soap Soap cleans the

Vote of 172 to 161
The struggle in the House over the
Porto Itico tariff bill Wednesday after
noon when the bill was amended by re
ducing the tariff to 15 per cent and mak
ing the law temporary and passed by a
vote of 172 to 1U1 The Republican man
agers seemed surprised at the majority
of eleven received by the bill for up to
the hour of voting they claimed only a
majority of from three to live
There were six Republicans who voted
against the bill They were McCall of
Massachusetts LittleGeld of Maine
Crumpacker of Indiana Lorimer of Illi
nois and Ileatwole and Fletcher of Min
nesota Warner of Illinois who was ab
sent by reason of illness was paired

mer announced that were Mr Warner
present he would oppose the bill
These five Republicans were not enough
to defeat the bill had the Democrats been
united in opposition On a strict party
vote with all members present the Re
publicans have a majority of fourteen
and it would have required the change
of eight Republican votes to defeat Four
Democrats voted for the bill four others
were absent without pairs and one was
present without voting In this way the
bill received a majority of eleven votes
The four Democrats who voted for the
bill were Davey and Meyer of Louisiana

REDUCED TO EXTREMITIES
Gen Cronje Gave Up to Save His Wom
en and Soldiers
The condition of affairs in the camp of
the Boers when Gen Cronje surrendered
to Lord Roberts was something frightful
They had ruu entirely out of food except
the trek cattle and these were eaten as
rapidly as they were killed by the British
shells Their ammunition had given out
and most of their artillery was badly
damaged by the British fire Most of
their wagous were burned
The laager was strewn with the corpses
of the dead lying in the broad light un
buried hud festering The wounded wen
in an awful plight The hospital corps
was insufficient to attend to them and
they lay about the laager in heaps some
crying piteously others shrieking in their
pain many silently enduring their ag
onies
The British troops immediately on tak
ing possession of the laager were order
ed by Lord Roberts to devote all their at
tention to succoring the wounded aud
burying the dead as well as caring for
the women and children who panic
stricken and in expectation of some awful
punishment could hardly be induced to
accept kindness or aid from their con
querors The British commissariat was
taxed to its utmost
to give immediate re
lief to the sufferers but everything pos
sible was done to alleviate the condition
of the captives The surrendered force
numbers about 3000 combatants Besides
these there are over 1000 women and
children and Kafir laborers and members
of the Red Cross Relief Corps

Thb Meanest Man Alive
The meanest man I ever worked
for said the drug clerk was an ol
fellow who kept a store in the North
east
One night a colored mammy entered
She was so visibly poor that It ought
to have gone against a mans conscience
to have taken money from her undex
any circumstances Approaching the
old man she said
Say boss is yo got Inny cated

was a new one to both of us

back
The old skinflint did some deep and
rapid thinking and pocketing the only
dollar the old creature had went to a
drawer -where we kept common oil silk
and tearing off a piece about four
inches wide worth 3 cents handed li
to her with a great display of Impor
