CHAPTER XXVIII (Continued).
It was also related to him that Don
Juan, the solo surviving member .of tho
royalist band In authority, had re
turned to tho Cnstlo ot Snlvarcz, tak
ing tho entire party ot Englishmen
with him, and had Issued a public
proclamation announcing tho death ot
Philip and tho end of tho royal occu
n V. . . . , i i
patlon. Ho had also forwarded to
Caracas a full roport and confession,
nd wns now waiting to turn tho cas
tlo over to General Salvarez whenever
he should return.
Bursting with all this news, he hur
ried back to tho Chcorway.
"Hurrah! hurrah!" ho shouted,
much tc tho amazement of nil on
board. "Philip Is dead, Gomez Is dead,
Francisco, Mattazudo and tho entire
royal nrmy are dead or scattered. Tho
Castlo of Salvarez Is now occupied by
an English party under Lord Chug
mough himself, and Don Juan Garza
and his daughter are with them."
"Don Juan's daughter!" gasped Ja
cintn. "Sho Is dead!"
"No, sho Is nllvo," answered Mcd
worth, his voice trembling with hla
.great emotion. "It was all a mistake
a conspiracy."
Then ho proceeded to relate to his
astounded audience all that ho had
learned at Bolivar.
"Then my duty is clear," said Cap
tain Glover. "This Castlo of Salvarez,
you say, la on the Coronl ntvor that
ono Just below hero?"
"Yes," said Medworth.
"Is tho Coronl nnvlgable?"
"That I can't say." said Arthur. "Wo
navigated It on a flatboat under clr
cumstances that I hope novor to meet
again, but whether tho Cheerway could
ascend tho rlvor or not, I could not
say."
"Bless you, I had no Idea, of taking
the Cheerway Into unknown waters,"
said Captain Glover. "It'a tho launch
I'm thinking of."
"That could do It. I'm sure," said
Medworth.
"Then that settles It," said tho Cap
lain. "Tho Cheerway will drop down
to tho mouth of tho Coronl and tho
launch will tako you up to tho castle."
All of which occurred Just aa Cap
tnln Glover promised'.
Lord Chugmough, Don Juan and
Lola were sitting on tho veranda of
the castlo In tho afternoon, chatting
over past events, when tho English
man pointed to tho river.
"I flatter myself," he said, "that I
am at present tho only man In Vene
zuela who possesses nn electric launch
As tho crnft approaching Is nothing
else, It Is probably mlno. It has ladles
aboard, too, I see. I fancy wo aro
about to receive n call."
Sir Galloping Graco and others
camo out to seo the launch; and Loin,
whoso young eyes had not been
dimmed by her unpleasant experiences,
uttered a loud "Arthur! Arthur!" and
rushed to tho vlver landing, whero tho
passengers from tho launch wore shak
ing themselves out on the wharf,
In another moment Don Juan had
tho doubtful pleasure of seeing Ills
daughter clasped In tho arms of tho
young man he had spurned In happier
days In Now York,
Dona Maria wept a little at being
received so graciously, and welcomed
back to her own house by Don Juan,
who, In his proud, Spanish way.
looked still tho conquoror, notwith
standing ho was tho only ono left.
Jnclnta felt a hot, Jealous pang when
sho saw Lola being kissed by Med
worth, and had there been no relief
for hor sore and tender heart, It
would, perhaps, nave been my un
pleasant duty to describe another
tragedy. But when she saw that sho
Jiad lost Arthur, she suddenly rcmem
bored Lord Chugmough and his enor
mous wealth; and when she saw tho
stalwart frame and stern, handsomo
face of tho Englishman, she smiled
again.
But it Is not my purpose to dwell
upon tho flirtation bctweon Jnclnta and
Lord Chugmough, or to mako another
Btory of tho tamo events that followed
tho restoration ot Castlo Salvarez to
Its proper owners. It would not bo
interesting to mako long tnle of tho
fact that General if" Jrez did not re
coivo tho nows cl r hlllp's fall becauso
ho was already on his way homo with
two war ships and nn army largo
enough to storm his castle, and that
when at last ho marched at tho head
ot his column up to his own door, ho
found his wife and daughter surround
ed by friends, nnd that ho was so
verely reprimanded at Caracas1 for
making so much stir about a Uttlo up
rising that really amounted to noth
ing, end woro itself out in li Is ab

Nor would It be particularly fascln
atlng to read how Lord Chugmough

Tfc Cheerway sailed and In duo
ime arrived at Now York, whero Don
Juan, Lola and Medworth left her,
Sho then proceeded across tho Atlantic
with her English passengers.
Don Juan lived up to tho promise
ho had made to Lola at the ruined
temple, and Medworth and Lola wero

'It Is your own fault, Clara," said
Walter May.
"Of course it Is," cried out Clara,
passlonntely stamping hor foot on tho
carpot. "Do you suppose I don't know
It perfectly well? And thut Is what
makes it bo hard oh, so cruelly hard
to bear!"
The fact was that Mr. and Mrs. Wal
ter Mny had begun life nl tho wrong
end.
Clnra Calthorpo was a pretty young
girl, Just out of tho hotbed atmosphere
of a fashionable boarding school,
Wnltcr May waB a bank clerk who
had not tho least doubt but that ho
should ultimately mako his fortune
out ot stocks and bonds.
"Clara," ho said to his young wlfo
while tho goldan clrclo of tho honey
moon wns yet overshadowing' their
lives, "would you like a country life?"
"Oh, dear no!" said Clnra Involun
tarily recoiling.
"Decauso" said Walter somowhat
wistfully, "my father and mother nro
alone on tho farm and I think they
would llko to have its' como and live
with them."
r shouldn't like It at all," Bald
uiara, "and mamma says no young
brldo should ever settle down among
her husband's relations."
Mr. May frowned a Uttlo, but Mrs.
Clara had a pretty positive way of her
own, and ho remonstrated no further,
But at the year's end Walter May
had lost hlb' situation, tho clouds of
debt had gathered darkly around them
and all tho pretty, now furniture, East-
lako cabinets, china dragons, proof en
gravlngs and hot house plants wero
sold under tho red flag. They" had
made a complete falluro of tho house
keeping business, and now, In tho
fourth story of a thlrd-rato hotel, Mr,
and Mrs. May wero looking their fu-
turo in tho face.
Clara had been oxtravngant. There
was no sort of doubt about that. Sho
had given "recherche" Uttlo parties,
which sho couldn't afford, to people
who didn't caro for her. Sho hnd
patterned her tiny establishment after
modolfi' which were fnr beyond her
reach, and now thoy wero ruined,
Sho had sent a tcar-besprlnklcd let-
tor to her mother who was In Wash
lngton trying to ensnare a rich hus
band for her youngsr daughter, but
Mrs. Calthorpo had ha&tlly written
back that It was quite impossible for
her to bo in Now York at that tlmo
of year and" still moro Impossible to
rccelvo Mrs. Walter May at tho mon
ster hotel whero she was boarding.
And Clara, wno had always Had a
vaguo Idea that hor mother was self
ish, was quito certain ot it now.
There Is but ono thnlg left for you,
Clara," said Walter sadly.
"And that "
"Is to go back to the old farm. I
have no longer a homo to offer you,
but you will bo suro of a warm wol-
como from my father and mother,
I shall remain hero and do my best
to obtain some new situation which
will cnablo men to earn our dally
bread."
Clara burst Into tears.
"Go to my husband's relations?'
sho sobbed. ' Oh, Waltor, I cannot!"
"You will havo to," ho said dogged
ly, "or olso starve."
So Mrs. May packed up hor trunk
and obeyed. All tho way to Hazel
copse Farm sho cried behind her veil
and pictured to herself a stony-faced
old man with a virago of a wife, who
would set hor to doing menial tasks
and ovorwholm her with reproaches
for having ruined "poor, dear Waltor."
As for tho farmhouse itself, sho was1
qulto suro It waB a desolate place, with
corn nnd potatoes growing under tho
very windows,, and tho road in front
filled with plows and pigs and hnr
rows and broken cart wheels. But in
the midst ot her tears and desolation
the driver called out:
"Hazolcop&o Farm! Mr. Noah May's!
Here's th' 'ousc, ma'am.
A long low gray stone mansion, all
garlanded with Ivy, its windows
bright with geranium blossoms nnd
tho scartet autumn leaves raining
down on tho velvet-smooth lawn in
front. Clara could Just seo how or
roncous' had been all her preconceived
Ideas, when una found horself clasped
In tho arms of tho sweetest and most
motherly of old ladles.
"My poor dear!" said old Mrs May,
caressingly.
"You aro welcome as tho sunshine,
daughter," said a smiling old gentle
man In spectacles.
And Clara was established In tho
easy chair In front of a groat flro of
pine logs, nnd tea was brought in and
tho two old peoplo cos3etted and pet
ted her as If ho had been a three
year-old child Just recovering from
tho measles,
Thoro was not a word of reproach
not a questioning look, not a sidelong
glance all welcome, and tenderness
and loving commiseration. And when
Clara wont to sleep that night, with
n wood flra glancing and glimmering
softly over tho crimson hangings ot
tho "bert chamber," alio begnn to
think that perhaps sho had beeu mis
taken In some of her Ideas.
Tho next day sho had a long, conn
dcntlal talk with her father-in-law,
while Mra. May was making mlnci
pies In the kitchen.
"But there's ono thing I hnvoa'l
dared to tell Walter about," sho said,
with tears In her eyes.
"What Is that, my dear?" said tho
old gentleman.
"My dressmaker's bill," said Clara.
"It camo tho night beforo I left Now
York oh, such a dreadful bill. I
hadn't any Idea It could nmouut up
so fearfully."
"How much was It?" said Mr. Noah
May, patting hor hand.
rcu mm miy uuihuh,
Clara, hanging down her head.
"A hundred and fifty dollars," Bald
"Don't fret, my dear, don't fret,"
said tho old gentlemnn. "Walter need
never know anything about It. I'll
settle tho bill nnd thcro shall bo nn
end of tho mntter."
"Oh, sir, will you really?"
"My dear," Bald old Mr. May, "I'd
do much moro than that to buy the
color back to your cheeks and the
smllo to your lips."
And that sarao aftornoon, when Mrs.
Mny hnd been talking to Clara In tho
kindest and most motherly way, tho
girl burst into tears nnd hid her face
on tho old lady's shoulder.
"Oh," cried she, ' how good you nil
are! And I hnd nn Idea that a father
and mothcr-ln-lnw wero such terrible
personages! Oh, plonse, pleaso forglvo
mo for nil tho wicked things I havo
thought about you!"
It was natural enough, my donr,"
said Mrs. May, smiling, "but you nro
wiser now nnd you will not bo afraid
of us any longer."
When Saturday night nrrlvcd Wal
tor May camo out to tho old farm
house dejected and sad at heart. Ho
had di&'cOYored that situations do not
grow, like blackberries, on every
bush; ho had met with moro than ono
cruel rebuff, and ho was hopolossly
discouraged as to tho future. Moro
over ho fully expected to bo met with
tears and complaints by his wife,
But to his Infinite amazement and
relief Clara greeted him on tho door
step with radiant smiles.
"Toll mo, dear," Bald she, "hnvo you
got a now situation?"
Ho shook his head sadly.
"I'm glad of it," said Clara brightly,
for wo'vo got a place papa and mam
ma nnd I."
It's all Clara's plan," said old Noah
May.
"But It Iiob our hearty approval,"
added tho smiling old lady.
"Wo'ro all going to live hero to
gether," said Clara. "And you nro to
manago the farm, becauso papa tuys
ho Is getting too old nnd lazy," with
a merry glnnco at tho old gentleman,
who Btood by beaming on his daugh
ter-in-law, as If ho woro ready to sub
scribe to ono and all of hor opinions,
"and I nm to keep houso nnd tako all
tho caro off mamma's hands. And,
oh! it Is so plcnsant here, nnd I do
lovo tho country so dearly! So If
you're willing, dear "
"Willing!" cried out Walter May, ec
statically, "I'm moro than willing. It's
tho only thing I havo alwayB longed
for. Good-byo to city wnlls nnd
hearts ot stono; good-byo to hollow
nppearances and grinding wretchod-
noss! Why, Cara, I shall bo tho hap
piest man alive. But "
"There," said Clara, putting up both
hands ns if to wnrd off all posslblo
objections', "T was sure thero would
bo a 'but' "
"I thought, my dear," Bald Walter,
that you didn't llko tho Idea of liv
ing with your husband's relations."
Clara looked lovingly up Into her
mothor-ln-law'B sweet old face, whilo
sho silently pressed Mr. Noah May's
kindly hands.
I am a deal wlsor than I was n
week ago," said she. "And, oh, bo
much happier!"
So am I!" said Walter.

the blood vessels nnd nerves, nnd
through them tho brain. Moreover,
according to tho writer, tho effort to
