CHAPTER XI Continued
Oh it isnt advice not for worlds
would I give her advice about such a
thing says this small creature in en
tirely evident distress Its the respon
sibility of having brought them together
With Mr Duncombe that would have
been entirely different I was safe there
whatever happened And thats the only
thing to be done now
What is the only thing to be done
Why to beg Mr Duncombe to come
back to us and at once I never was
quite positively certain why he went
away but it was merely through some
little quarrel or misunderstanding I dare
say they would be inclined now to regret
It In any case his presence would make
ft great difference if she has any sense
at all she would naturally turn to the
younger man with all his advantages
And whats to be done with the colo
nel
I suppose he will go back to Alder
shot she says wistfully 1 am sorry
but but anything rather than this And
even if he stays Mr Buncombes being
with us will make all the difference in
the world
The counsels of the night only increas
ed her fears and by next morning she
tad quite convinced herself that unless
seme immediate measures were taken
Miss Peggy would persist in her folly
and end by marrying a beggar
She is simply at her tricks again she
cant help it one says to this anxious
eyed mule of a creature And as for
Cameron of course he likes to have a
pretty girl to talk to what soldier
doesnt
It isnt tricks at all she says I
know quite well when Peggy is merely
playing pranks Ive seen her at it too
often But this is entirely different her
Imagination seems to have been
taken captive you an see that in
the interest she displays about the
smallest matter connected with Scot
land or the Highland people or
the Highland regiments for the
matter of that and then she is obedient
and submissive she isnt pretending to
be a very proper young lady with a wink
at you when she gets the chance it is
real this time or else I am mistaken and
I hope I am
Why how long is it since he first- set
eyes on her one says by way of pro
test against this ridiculous fancy
Oh that is nothing she answers A
single day of this companionship is worth
a whole London season
But even if it were true where would
be the harm one naturally asks Cam
eron is very far from being penniless A
He is five-and-forty if he is a day
she exclaims
How often must I point out to you
- that at five-and-forty a man is just at
the prime of his manhood the very prime
of his physical and intellectual strength
Of course you say that she retorts
But ten years ago you said the same
- of five-and-thirty
And havent I ten years more wisdom
to add to my judgment I tell you now
It is five-and-forty And I say that Ewen

the battle of Worcester she turned to
him and asked him if he was likely to
be passing by the cathedral for that she
would like to see again a rose red haw
thorn tree that she had remarked on the
previous day and that she thought was
the most beautiful thing that she had
met with in England Of course he in
stantly offered to escort her and these
two went away
It was not however until past midday
that the four of us idly lounging about
and waiting by the banks of the Severn
at the spot where the canal debouches
into the river beheld that long white
Noahs Ark of a thing slowly approach
ing When she came into the last lock
we got on board and having seen that
the additional towing line was attached
and the longest poles ready we awaited
the opening of the great gates A pleas
anter day for our entrance into the Sev
ern we could not have demanded There
was a soft southerly wind blowing up
stream ruffling the wide yellow waters
and stirring the foliage of the high-wooded
bank on the other shore the flat golden-green
meadows were glowing in the
sunlight and far beyond them and be
yond some -darker lines of elms the pale
blue Malvern hills rose into the shining
silvery sky A brisk and breezy day
sufficiently warm and sufficiently cool al
together an auspicious setting forth
A most beautiful river the Severn is
and on this mellow afternoon the wind
had mostly died away so that the high
red banks all hanging in foliage were
faithfully mirrored on the smooth surface
of the stream save where some chance
puff would come along breaking the oil
russets and olive greens with a keen
shaft of blue the color of the overhead
sky Subjects for a water color painter
formed themselves at every turn and
winding and at last when we came in
sight of the square gray tower of Tewks
bury Abbey just yisible above the trees
and the ruddy houses of the town appear
ing here and there beyond the warm
green meadows the tower houses and
meadows and trees all aglow in the light
streaming over from the western skies
w began to think that too much had
Avon and Thames and Kennef occupied
our artists and that some of them whom
we knew and could name might do worse
than pitch their tents more frequently
just a little further west
At dinner that evening we refrained
from lighting the lamps the twilight
without being so singularly beautiful
Now all this time Queen Tita had
said not a word about the possible com
ing of Jack Duncombe perhaps she fear
ed that the mere suggestion might be
construed by Col Cameron into a hint
that he should vacate his berth That
was not so as it happened nevertheless
his offer to quit was sufficiently prompt
wOh Peggy sai ae that night after
dinner in an off huud kind of fashion
would you be surprised to find an old
friend coming to join us at Goucester
Miss Peggy glanced up in rather a
frightened fashion for Col Cameron was
also sitting out there in the warm still
night contentedly smoking his cigar
Queen Tita caught sight of that quick
look the glow from the open door of the
saloon falling full on the girls face
No said she gravely it isnt Mr
ABecket It is strange we have heard
nothing of him
Oh well I thought he might have
some more information to send you her
hostess remarked in a general kind of
WMkMnMSMfiM
Cameron is in his prime Mind you he i ay I dont thmk we study the guide
can make a poor thing of some of the books as closely as we ought However
young fellows when they are out on the j it isnt Mr ABecket Its Mr Dun-
tn
- These details do not seem to interest
this preoccupied person
If they had ever met before at some
one elses house she said absently
But it will look as if we had expressly
asked him to join our- party to to bring
this about And how could we have
dreamed of such a thing Peggy knows
as well as anyone else what her people
expect of her she has almost told me as
much
Well now you see the results of cher
ishing historical prejudices and partisan
ships one points out to her
I suppose you think it a joke she de
mands indignantly
I do
Well it is not You dont know Peggy
as I know her The only thing is it cant
have gone very far and I dare say if we
could get Mr Duncombe to come back to
the boat she would return to her senses
Por she has common sense she is a re
markably shrewd young woman And
then seeing the two of them together
how could she help contrasting them
Now will you write to Mr Duncombe
If you like
Will you telegraph
If you like
v Supposing he can get away there are
plenty of towns where he could join us
Tewkesbury
Not Tewkesbury we shall be there
tJ day
Gloucester then You know she
added eagerly how anxious he was to
go down that open part of the Severn
with us to see how the boat would an
swer He is sure to come along if you
urge him
CHAPTER XII
Now when all were together again in
the coffee room of this Worcester hotel
one naturally now again glanced at Miss
Peggy to gather from her demeanor to
ward Col Cameron whether there wee
ny grounds for Queen Titas suspicions
But nothing of the sort was visible She
was in an unusually merry mood
We had a busy morning before us for
course we could not set about such a
serious undertaking as the navigation oft
the Severn without having the ship fully
provisioned and equipped for all emer
gencies And what did this giddy headed
Bchoolgirl know about paraffine oil can
dles soda water two shilling novels
fresh vegetables preserved fruits pigeon
pies towing ropes stationery telegram
forms and a hundred other things that
had to be thought of We bade her go
about her business and bother us no
ihore And then Col Cameron remarked
that he thought of walking along to
ieek out some spot from which he could
et a better notion of the disposition of
Fleetwoods focea before
combe
Oh indeed said Miss Peggy That
will be very nice
I am not sure he is coming she con
tinued but we have telegraphed to him
and you know how anxious he was to see
how the boat would answer in going
down the Severn So I shouldnt be sur
prised to find him turning up at Glou
cester
In that case said Col Cameron with
perfect good humor I must clear out
I shall hate him hearMly I know but
still Ive had my turn
Oh no no not at all Queen Tita
said at once and most anxiously Sure
ly if this caravansary of a thing has any
recommendation it ought to be able to
take in another passenger and easily
Why should not one of you gentlemen
sleep in the saloon Murdoch can make
np an extra bed he has often had to do
that for us on other boats and all that
is necessary will be for you to choose
among yourselves which is the earliest
riser What can be simpler than that
And then his being on board would
come in so well just now said Miss Peg
gy with demure eyes There would
be Capt Columbus Murdoch Mr Dun
combe Col Cameron you two myself
yes that would just be right he could
take our motto We are Severn
Peggy said Mrs Threepenny bit
severely this is business I wont be in
terrupted by your irresponsible frivolity
Well now supposing Mr Duncombe
should be able to join us he Is the new
comer and should take his chance
But I have had my turn of the cabin
Col Cameron remonstrated and 1 as
sure you I shall be most comfortable in
the saloon I should call the whole ar
rangement the height of luxury
But your things are all in your cabin
and why should they tie disturbed Sir
Ewen said she
Just as you please said he though
I dont know that it is wholesome train
ing for a soldier to find himself fixed in
such comfortable quarters However you
must promise ine one thing that the mo
ment you find me in the way you will
tell me
Oh yes I will teU you said she with
a little laugh
When this small community was entire
ly and snugly shut in from the dark and
silent world without there was a vague
hint ventured about a game of whist or
something of that sort
We should have to clear all those
things off the table said Mrs
regretfully and they are so
handy Peggy why dont you bring out
your banjo What has made you so lazy
You ought to be ashamed of yourself I
The fact was Miss Peggy had fcardly
ever touched her banjo since Col Cam
eron came on board Why we hardly
wgaewj
r
tf
IMMUNITY FROM
S f
knew But somehow she had eJwaya
seemed disinclined to open that leather
case since Sir Ewen Cameron joined us
And so she was on this occasion
It is so delightfully quiet here she
said it is a shame to spoil it by that
strumming
I am quite sure Col Cameron has
never heard you sing Nelly Gray
Queen Tita suggested insidiously
And I should very much like to hear
it said he
With that she obediently went and got
the banjo and resumed her place on the
couch then with a few rippling notes of
prelude she began to sing
Theres a low green valley on the old
Kentucky shore
Where Ive whiled many happy hours
away
And very well she sung too if hardly
with the confidence she usually displayed
And when she had finished and when
Queen Tita was begging her to sing The
Little Old Cabin in the Lane Col Cam
eron said
Well Miss Rosslyn when I haye the
pleasure of receiving you two ladies in
the North when old Duncan that is my
factotum up there gets your things out
of the dogcart I shall be enormously dis
appointed if I dont see that yellow leath
er case among them
She looked up suddenly
A banjo at Inverfask she exclaimed
in a kind of awe stricken way as though
the incongruity was quite startling to
her
V Why not said he simply
And surely- stranger things than that
have happened in this odd mixture of a
world
CHAPTER XIII
Do you kndw what true wisdom is
No
Would you like to be told
Yes
Then I will tell you says this most
amiable and obliging philosopher I will
tell you she says blandly True wis
dom consists in recollecting how well off
you are It sounds simple doesnt it
Yet people never do it Its only their
miseries they pay any heed to The tooth
ache or an overcharged bill or an ill
fitting dress will vex them beyond any
thing but when they dont have these
worries or any other they forget to be
grateful They dont realize their good
fortune They dont reflect how glad they
ought to be that at the present moment
there isnt a bit of dust in their eye and
that their boots arent pinching their
toes You know not what the physiolo
gists say that when you are not con
sicous of having any body at all when
you dont seem to be aware that you have
got a head or a hand or a foot then ev
erything is going well and you are in
perfect health you know that
Ive heard something of the kind
But people in that happy condition
never think of congratulating them
selves she says They take it all as
a matter of course they forget how lucky
they are When they have rheumatism
they make a mighty fuss but when they
havent it they dont recollect that its
a very nice thing to be able to walk or
move your arms just as you please Now
that is true wisdom to remember how
well off you are and how many ailments
you might have and havent and to be
very grateful and thankful and content
ed
Yes Miss Marcus Aurelius that is all
very well for ypu one says to her Ypu
ought to be content certainly Look at
your position You are young you are
passably good looking
VI thank you she says in her cool
American way
You have excellent health and spir
its you have an abundance of friends
and well wishers you have nothing in the
world to do but look pretty and please
people It would be a singular thing if
you were not content What more would
you like Would you like to be an an
gel
Ah I see I cant make yon under
stand she says It isnt at all being
merely content you should make your
self happy by thinking of the various
anxieties and ailments and distresses that
you have suffered from or might suffer
and that you are now free from it isnt
content it is congratulation Say she
continues in her usual inconsequent fash
ion why is your wife so anxious that
Mr Duncombe should come back to the
boat
She puts this question in an unconcern
ed manner and with downcast eyes in
fact she is now pretending to sketch on
the printed fly leaf of a novel some sim
ulacrum of a withered tree on the other
side of the stream
To be continued
THE PLACUE
s
CertainRaces Are Not Affected by the
Bubonic Pestilence
Apropos of the bubonic plague has it
ever been noticed in what an erratic
manner immunity from this disease
seems to have been conferred upon cer
tain races and even sects Thus in
15S4 it was noticed that the Protest
tants of Lyons escoped almost to a
man So did the Jews in an outbreak
at Nimeguen in 1736 Something of
the same sort has been noticed with
regard to other diseases for while in
the outbreak of typhus at Langoens in
1824 the Jews remained immune their
coreligionists in Poland have always
been the first to catch cholera But the
strangest thing in connection with the
plague is that in most cases the seeds
of the disease seem to remain dormant
in the systems of these exposed to the
risk of contagion until some new epi
demic calls them into activity
Procopius who observed the plague
in Constantinople pretty closely dot
ing Justinians reign declares that if
persons born in an infected town set
tled in a town hitherto free from it
they were sure to be the first attacked
if the plague again visited the country
even aiter tne lapse or several years
A similar fact was noted during the
Nimeguen outbreak where two chil
dren of one Van Dam were sent to the
immune town of Gorcunen and re
mained there in perfect health for three
months At the end of that time the
plague came to Gorcunen and they
died there at the same time as the rest
of their family Pall Mall Gazette

PIET JOUBEET DEAD
t
TRANSVAALS FAMOUS GENERAL
PASSES AWAY
His Death a Great Loss to the Boers
He Was the Organizer of Their Army
and Rival of President Kruger Beat
British at Majuba Hill
The death of Gen Joubert was -announced
Wednesday by way of Lorenzo
Marques Two days previous Pretoria
dispatches told of the serious illness of
the famous Boer chieftain
Gen Pietrus Jacobus Joubert com
mander general of the Transvaal forces
better known as Piet Joubert or Slien
Piet Slim Peter was born about sixty-eight
years ago He was descended
from an old French Huguenot family
which settled in South Africa many years
go He was born in Cape Colony but
was taken by his parents when 7 years
old to the Orange Free State where he
was taught from early childhood to shoot
straight and hate the British He is de
scribed as liaving been utterly fearless
Of schooling h had but little and he nev
er saw a newspaper until he was 19 years
old
In consequence of the acquisition of
Natal by the British his family moved
from Natal and settled in the Transvaal
Soon afterward he became a burgher of
the South- African republic and a daring
fighter It was during the wars with
the natives that Joubert became acquaint
ed with Paul Kruger and the two men
became bosom friends He was elected
vice president of the Transvaal in 1896
defeated Sir- George Colley at Majuba
Hill in 1881 and acted as president of the
republic in 1883 1884 during Krugers
absence in Europe
Gen Joubert was always in favor of
the use of force instead of diplomacy
and President Kruger on several
GEN PIET JOUBEBT
sions had great difficulty in repressing
his hot headed colleague notably in 1879
when Joubert with Kruger and Prete
rms was planning the rebellion to over
throw British rule in the Transvaal The
result was Majuba Hill and the practical
independence of the Transvaal
It was Joubert who organized the army
of the South African republic later on
dividing the country into seventeen mili
tary departments apd each of these de
partments into smaller divisions with
commandants field cornets and lieuten
ants of various ranks in charge Accord
ing to the generals plans every man be
came a trained soldier without leaving
his farm and had his equipment ready at
hand To such a point of perfection was
the system carried that within forty
eight hours after the present war was
declared the Boer nation was under arms
It was also due to Gen Joubert that the
South African republics succeeded in
amassing the immense stores of war mu
nitions and provisions wjaich have stood
them in such good stead during the con
flict now in progress
When the Jameson raiders were locked
up in Pretoria jail Joubert was strongly
in favor of their immediate execution
It was not until Joubert and Kruger had
been closeted together for a whole night
that the more merciful counsels of Kru
ger prevailed
In November last it was reported that
Gen Joubert had been killed in action
and later reports said he was dangerous
ly wounded and had to use a cart in or
der to follow the operations in the field

V WAR DUE TO A PLOT
Filipino Document Sent to the Senate
by the President
Copies of official Filipino documents
captured by the American troops were
sent to the Senate Tuesday by the Pres
ident in compliance with a resolution
The most interesting paper is a transla
tion oft the minutes of a meeting of the
Filipino junta at Hong Kong on May 5
1898 four days after the destruction of
the Spanish squadron by the American
ships under Admiral Deweys command
At that meeting it was decided to pre
pare the Filipino people to fight the Unit
ed States if this Government declined to
give them indeDendence and measures
were taken to secure arms for the Taga
logs thus confirming from official Fili
pino sources the belief that the outbreak
against the American troops near Ma
nila on Feb 4 1899 was the result of
a carefully peearranged plot
At the juntas meeting on May 5 Agui
naldo who had just arrived at Hong
Kong from Singapore was elected pres
ident of the committee He told of ne
gotiations between himself and the
American consul at Singapore The lat
ter had recommended that Aguinaldo con
fer with Admiral Dewey regarding the
proposition that the Filipino leader go to
Manila in one of the American cruisers
Aguinaldo did not wish to go without
first securing a previous written agree
ment with Dewey for he said if the lat
ter once had him in power he might com
pel the signature of any agreement de
sirable Therefore he urged the appoint
ment of a committee to call upon Ad
miral Dewey and ascertain the intentions
of the United States regarding the Phil
ippines Then he said if intervention
by him were necessary it would not be
out of the way for him to go to the Phil
ippines procuring by such means as he
could obtain succor for the fatherland
Unless there were a previous contract
with Dewey Aguinaldo further stated
the admiral might not divide the arma
ment necessary to guarantee the happi
ness of the fatherland He also refers
to the fear that by taking up arms
against Spain he would lose his share in
the 400000 which had been deposited in
the Hong Kong and Shanghai banks for
the purpose of ending the insurrection
The minutes show that Agoncillo fav
ored sending Aguinaldo to the Philip
pines where as president he would be
able to arouse them to combat the de
mands of the United States if the latte
colonized the country and would drive
them the Filipinos if circumstances ren
der it necessary to a titanic struggle for
their independence even if later they
should succumb to the weight of the yoke
of a new oppressor
According to the minutes the members
of the junta voted unanimously that
Aguinaldo and the other officers of the
Filipino republic should go at once to Lu
zon organize the government and take
measures to bring about the independence
of the republic This action was taken
nine months before the outbreak of hos
tilities between the Filipinos and Ameri
can forces
