CHAPTER III. —(Continued.}
The day following there was a sim
ple funeral, in a solitary burial-place,
.seldom used, and lying within a short
distance of the spot where the body
was found. Mr. Lorraine defrayed the
expenses out of his own pocket, saw'
that everything was decently, though
simply arranged, and himself read the
beautiful burial service over t*he coffin.
He had now no doubt in his mind that
the drowned woman was the mother of
the infant left under his care, and that
by destroying herself she had simply
carried out her desperate determina
tion.
All attempts to identify her. how
ever, Continued without avail. In
quiries were made on every side, ad
vertisements inserted in the local
newspapers, without the slightest re
sult; no one came forward to give any
information. But by this time the
minister’s mind was quite made up.
He would keep the child, and, with
God’s blessing; rear her as his own;
ha would justify the unhappy mother’s
dependence on his charity and loving
kindness.
So it came to pass that late in the
gloaming of the old bachelor's life the
|cry of a child was heard In the lonely
“bouse; and somehow or other, despite
Solomon Mucklebackit’s prognostica
tions, the house became brighter and
merrier for the sound. Solomon him
self soon fell under the spell, and when
a little warm with whisky he would al
lude to the child, with a comic sense
of possession, as “oor bairn.”
At last, one day, there was a quiet
christening in the old kirk, where Mr.
Lorraine had officiated so many years.
M3rsle, held the infant in her arms,
while Solomon stood at hand, blinking
through his horn spectacles, and the
minister performed the simple cere
mony.
After long and tender deliberation
the minister had fixed upon a name,
which ho now gave to the poor little
castaway, who had neither father nor
mother, nor any kinsfolk in the world
after whom she could be called.
He Christened her Marjorie Annan.
Marjorie, after that other beloved
Marjorie, who had long before joined
—or so he dreamed—the bright celes
tial band; Annan, after that troubled
water wherein the miserable mother
had plunged and died.
CHAPTER IV.
N A BRIGHT
morning of early
spring, between
sixteen and seven
teen years after
the eve nts de
scribed in the first
chapters of this
story, a golden
haired young girl
, might have been
seen tripping down
the High street of the market town of
Dumfries. Her dress was prettily if
not over-fashionably cut, a straw hat
shaded her bright blue eyes, and her |
unots and gloves were those of a lady.
Under her arm she carried several
books—school books, to all intents and
purposes.
By her side, talking to her eagerly.
wa3 a young man about three years her
senior.
From time to time as she tripped
along with her companion she had to
stop and exchange words with passers
by who greeted her by name; and from
many of the shop doors and windows
friendly heads? nodded and bright
faces beamed. It was clear that she
was well known in the little town, and
a general favorite. Indeed, there were
lew of the residents within a radius
of ten miles round Dumfries who did
not know something of Majorie An
nan, the foster-child and adopted
daughter of Mr. Lorraine.
Her companion, John Sutherland,
was fair compiexioned and very pale.
He was plainly clad in a suit of dark
tweed, and wore a wide-awake hat.
His whole aspect betokened delicate
health, and there was a sad light in his
blue eyes which told of a thoughtful
spirit lodging within. His manners
were gentle end retiring in the ex
treme.
“When did you come back?” Mar
jorie had asked, after some previous
conversation.
“Last night, by the express from
London,” answered the young man.
“I’m going down to see the old folk
tonight. Shall you be at the manse?”
Marjorie nodded, smiling gayly.
“And how did you like London?” she
demanded. “Did you see the queen?
and Westminster Abbey? and did you
go to the great tabernacle to hear
Spurgeon preach?”
“No, Marjorie. My time was short,
and most of my spare time was spent
among the pictures; but when I saw
them, thousands upon thousands of
masterpieces, it made me despair of
ever becoming a painter. I thought to
myself, maybe Jt would be better, after
all, to bide at home, and stick to weav
ing like my father.”
As he spoke, Marjorie paused at the
corner of a quiet street, and held out
her hand.
"I must go to my lesson. Goodby.”
“How are you going down? By the
■wagonette?”
, “Yea, Johnnie,’
"So am I; we car. go together. Good
by till then!”
And with a warm squeeze of the
hand the young man walked away.
Marjorie stood looking after him for
a moment with a pleasant smile; then
she turned and walked down the
street. She had not many yards to go
before she paused before a dingy-look
, ink house, on the door of which was
a brass plate with the inscription:
M. LEON CAUSSIDIERE,
Professor of Languages.
She rang the bell, and the door was
opened almost immediately by a
Scotch servant in petticoat and short
gown, who greeted her with a familiar
smile. Answering the smile with a
friendly nod, Marjorie tripped along
the lobby and knocked at an inner
door, which stood ajar. A clear, mu
sical voice, with an unmistakable for
eign accent, cried, “Conte In,”'and she
entered.
The room was a plainly furnished
parlor, at the center-table of which a
young man sat writing. The table was
littered with writing materials, books,
and journals, and in the window re-:
cess was another table, also strewn
with books.
The young man, who was smoking a
cigarette, looked up as Majorie en
tered.
“Ah, is it you, Mademoiselle Mar
jorie!” he exclaimed, smiling pleasant
ly. “I did not expect you so early, and
I was just smoking ipy cigarette. You
do not mind the smoke? No? Then,
with your permission, I will smoke
on.”
He spoke English fluently, though
his accent was unmistakable, and his
pronunciation of certain words pecu
liar. Personally, he was tall and hand
some, with black hair worn very long,
black mustache, and clean-shaven
chin. His forehead was high and
thoughtful, his eyes bright but sunk
en, his complexion swarthy. He was
dressed shabbily, but somewhat show
ily, in a coat of brown velvet, shirt
with turn-down collar loose at the
throat, and a crimson tie shapen like
a true lover’s knot. He carried a pince
nez, secured to his person by a piece
of elastic,, disused while wriflng or
reading, but fixed on the nose at other
times. Through this pince-nez he now
regarded Marjorie with a very decided
look of admiration.
“I came early, monsieur,” said Mar
jorie, “because I cannot come in the
afternoon. I am going home, and I
shall not be back in Dumfries till Mon
day. Can you give me my lesson now,
please?”
“Certainly," answered the French
man; “I was only writing my French
correspondence, but I can finish that
when you are gone. Will you sit there,
mademoiselle, in the arm-chair? No?
Then in this other? We will begin »t
once.”
Marjorie sat down and opened her
books. The Frenchman, taking the
arm-chair she had refused, regarded
her quietly and keenly.
“Now read, if you please," he said,
with a wave of the hand. “Begin—
where you left oft yesterday.”
Marjorie obeyed and read aloud in
a clear voice from an easy French
reading-book. From time to time the
teacher interrupted her, correcting her
pronunciation.
“You advance, mademoiselle,” he
said presently. “Ah, yes, you are so
quick, so Intelligent. Now translate.”
In this port! % of her task also the
girl acquitted herself well, and when
she had finished, the young man nod
ded approvingly.
“Now let us converse—in French, if
you please.”
But here Marjorie was at a loss, not
knowing what to talk about. She
finally took the weather as a topic, and
advanced the proposition that it was
a very fine day, but that there would
soon be rain. Her master responded,
and, urged to higher flights of imagi
nation, Marjorie hoped that it would
not rain till she reached home, as the
public wagonette In which she was to
travel was an open one, and she did
not want to get wet. In this brilliant
strain the conversation proceeded,
Marjorie stumbling over the construc
tion of her sentences and getting very
puzzled over the other's voluble an
swers when they extended to any
length. But at last the lesson was
over, and the teacher expressed himself
well pleased.
■Ana now,” ne said, with a smile,
“we will talk the English again before
you go. Will you tell me something
about yourself, mademoiselle? I have
seen you so often, and yet I know so
little. For myself, I am almost a re
cluse, and go about not at all. Tell nie.
then, about yourself, your guardian,
your home."
“I don’t know what to tell ycu,
monsieur,” answered Marjorie.
“Call me not ‘monsieur,’ but "Mon
sieur Leon.’ ‘Monsieur’ is so formal—
so cold."
"Monsieur Leon."
“That Is better. Now answer me. if
you please. You have no father, no
mother?”
The girl’s eyes Ailed with tears.
“No, monsieur —”
“Monsieur Leon.”
“No, Monsieur Leon."’ )
“Ah, that is sad—sad to be an or
phan, alone in the world! 1 myself j
I have no father, but I have a mother
whom 1 adore. And you live with your
I guardian always?”
“Yes, monsieur—Monsieur Leon. He
is my guardian and my foster-father;
and Solomon is my foster-father, too.”
"Solomon?”
“Solomon is our clerk and sexton.
He lives in the manse. He was living
there when -the minister found me,
nearly seventeen years ago.”
The young Frenchman had arisen
and stood facing Marjorie Annan.
“Ah, yes, I have heard,” he said.
"And you have dwelt all these years,
mignonne, alone with those two ok
men?”
Yes, Monsieur Leon.
“It Is terrible—it is not right! You,
who are so young and pretty; they,
who are so old and dreary! And you
j have never seen the world—never trav
eled from your native land! Never?
You have lived In a desert, you have
never known what it Is to live! But
you are a child, and it is not too late.
You will see the world some day, will
you not? You will find some one to
love you, to care for you, and you will
| bid adieu to this triste Scotland, once
and forever!” , i
As he spoke very volubly, he bent
tils face close to hers, smiling eagerly,:
while his breath touched her check.
She blushed slightly, and drooped het '
eyes for a moment; then she looked ui
quite steadily, and said: - 1 ,
“I should not care to leave my home
Mr. Lorraine took, me to Edinburgh
once, but I soon wearied, and was glac
to come back to Annandale."
“Edinburgh! ” cried Monsieur Leon
with a contemptuous gesture. “A city
where the sun never shines, and It ralm
six days out of seven, what you call a
Scotch mist! You should see my coun
try, la belle France, and Paris, the
queen' of cities of the world! There
all is light and gay; it iB Paradise on
earth. Would you not like to see Purls.
Mademoislle Marjorie?”
“Yes, monsieur, maybe I should,” le
plied Marjorie; “but I’m _not caring
much for the town. But I was forget
ting something, though,” she added.
“Mr. Lorraine told me to give you
this."
So saying, she drew forth a small
silk purse, and drawing thence two sov
ereigns, placed them on the table.
“Put them back into your purse, 11
you please.”
“But I have not paid you anything
and I owe you for ten lessons.”
“Never mind that, mademoiselle,’
answered the Frenchman. “Some oth
er time, if you insist, but not today. It
is reward enough for me to have such
a pupil. Take the money and buy
yourself a keepsake to remind you of
me.”
But Marjorie shook her little head
(irmly and answered:
“Please do not ask me. Monsieur
Leon. My guardian would be very
angry, and he sent me the money to
pay you.”
The Frenchman shrugged his shoul
ders.
“Well, as you please, only I would
uot have you think that I 'teach you
for the money’s sake—ah, no. You
have brought light and sunshine to my
heart In my exile; when you come I
forget my sorrows, and when you go
away 1 am full of gloom. Ah, you
smile, but it is true.”
“Good-bye, now, Monsieur Leon,”
said Marjorie, moving toward the door,
for she felt embarrassed and almost
frightened by the ardent looks of her
teacher.
“Good-bye. You will come again oi
Monday, will you not?”
“Yes, Monsieur Leon.”
And Marjorie left the room an<
passed out into the sunny street.

“No Fish."
Fine as are the salmon of New
Foundland, they are without honor in
their own country, as the following in
cident from Dr. S. T. Davis’s “Cari
bou-Shooting in Newfoundland” will
show: Our way into the interior was
over a lovely pond. We had made an
early start, and left the foot of the
pond jhst as day was breaking. We
had not proceeded far when the writer
thought he could occasionally see the
water break with a splash in close
proximity to the canoe. Seated as he
was in the bow, he turned to the native
who was handling the paddle In the
stern, and inquired whether there were
any fish in the pond.
. “Fish? No, sir, no fish, sir.”
Presently, when about half-way up
the pond, and just as the sun was peep
ing over the eastern horison, he saw,
not six feet from the bow of the canoe,
a magnificent salmon rise to the sur
face, and with a swish of his tail, dis
appear. Again the writer turned to his
friend with the remark, “Daddy, did
I understand you to say that there were
no fish in this pond?"
“No fish, sir; no fish.”
“Yes, but—I beg your pardon—I a
moment ago saw what I took to be a
twelve or fifteen-pound salmon break
the water not six feet from the bow oi
the canoe.”
“Oh, that was a salmon. There arc
plenty of trout and salmon in all these
waters, but no fish, sir. Nothing counts
as fish in these parts but codfish, sir.”

SITUATION IN SPAIN.
NO ULTIMATUM AS YET FROM
UNCLE SAM.
Sinister Woodford’* Instruction* Con
tain No Throat*—The Spnnlsh tiov
ernment to B« Impressed With
tits Necessity of a Cessation
of Hostilities.
No Threat* Have Been Made.
Washington, Sept. 23.—The admin
istration has been informed by cable
in the fullest detail by United States
Minister Woodford of the conference
held with the Puke of Tetuan, Span
ish minister of foreign affairs. There
is nothing in Minister Woodford’s dis
patch to bear out in the slightest de
gree the reports that the American
minister has presented an ultimatum
to Spain declaring that if war in Cuba
is not terminated by the end of October
the United States would feel justified
in taking measures to secure the in
dependence of Cuba.
Minister Woodford, in the course of
his interview, which was preliminary
in its nature, laid the foundation for
the fuller presentation of the protest of
the United States, whioh he will make
•to the Spanish court, when it shall
‘remove in October from San Sabastain
to Madrid. He will then earnestly,
"hut courteously, insist that the failure
of Spain to terminate the war in Cu ba
has become a aourceof great solicitude
to this country, and which, on account
of the enormous American interests
involved, makes it imperative that the
United States should tender its offices
to secure a termination of the war if
possible, upon a basis that will prove
satisfaetary to Spain.
Minister Woodford's instructions,
which will be communicated in full
shortly, contain no threat against the
Spanish government. They certainly
are not in the nature of an ultimatum,
which would mean war, and they go
but little if any farther than the po
sition assumed by Secretary Olney in
his report of less than a year ago.
Secretary Sherman believes that the
time has arrived when Spain must
make such concessions as will close
the war, and Minister Woodford has
been instructed to earnestly press
upon the Spanish government the in
terest of the United States in assist
ing to secure such a cessation of hos
tilities. The prospects are for a
change of ministry in Spain and for a
cabinet under liberal auspices, headed
by Senor Sagasta.
Madrid, Sept. 33. —It is learned
upon high authority that the much
discussed interview of last Saturday
between United States minister to
Spain, General Stewart L. Woodford,
and the Spanish minister for foreign
affairs, the Duke of Tetuan, were
merely preliminary.
General Woodford stated to the
duke the gravity of the condition of
Cuba and requested in behalf of the
United States, that Spain would find
a method of speedily ending the war
and giving justice to the Cubans. He
offered the good offices of the United
States in effecting a settlement of
the Cuban troubles, which practlcatly
gives Spain an opportunity of grace
fully ending the war. If she does not
embrace it within a reasonable time,
notfoe will be given that the United
States must interfere, though General
Woodford has not said so yet
Spain cannot expect the aid of
European powers, as the United States
ambassadors have asoeitained that all
the European countries, except Aus
tria, recognize that the interests of
the United States justify the latter’s
interference in Cuba. Austria
in this matter, is influenced
by the relationship between
the two dynasties, the queen
regent of Spain being an Austrian
archduchess, but it is not likely that
Austria will take any part in the
question beyond possibly making a
diplomatic protest against the inter
vention of the United States.

Waswinotox, Sept 24.—Tlie Union
Pacific reorganization committee’s
proposition for the settlement of the
company’s debt to the United States
will be accepted, the government
mortgage will be foreclosed, the road
sold and the company reorganized.
This statement is made on good an*
thority. Por f-everal days past Presi
dent McKinley has had conferences
with the representatives of the com
pany and with the United State* at
torney general, and before J>e left
Washington, he agreed to the sale of
the road and its reorganization upon
the basis which the reorganization
committee suggested. The announce
ment of the decision may be looked
for at an early date. It will come in
an order for foreclosure issued by the
president to the secretary of tho
treasury.
The agreement to which President
McKinley has decided to give his sanc
tion is the same which was submitted
to Congress by President Cleveland
last January. Under this agreement
the reorganization committee will bid
for the road under a foreclosure sale
the sum of *45,054,050. In order to
givo an intelligible statement of wbat
this bid will mean to the United
States, it is necessary to enter briefiy
into the story of the Union Pacific ob
ligation to the government.
The principal debt of the Union
Pacific to the United States was *35,
830,513. A part of this has not yet
beep advanced by the United States.
The interest psld by the government
amounts to *36,934,893. The whole
indebtedness on the first day of July,
1897. was 970,404,405. The sinking
fund of the Union Pacific, In the hands
of the treasurer of the United States
on the same day was *17,739,209.
After deducting the sinking fund,
which is an asset of the com
pany in the hands of the United
States for the purpose of paying
the debt of the Union Pacific
Railway company to the government,
the sum of *38,015,850 remains to bo
paid. That is the only sum which
Fitzgerald’s reorganization committee,
as it is known, will be required to pay
the government The loss to the gov
ernment is the difference between *58,
900.000, which is the net amount due
the government in round numbers, and
the *48,000,000, making a loss of nearly
128.000. 000 in ronnd numbers, accord
