Unt the tower was t he most perfect ex
ample of t in power of dynamite. The
floors were completely destroyed. The ex
plosive .substance had played mad pranks
with the many hundred stands of arms,
twisting the rides into the most fantastic
shapes, and scattering them into wild con
fusion. 1 ,omloncrs who heard tin explosion h
scrihe it as most terillic. It was an awful
shock, striking at the heart of Kn-lisli
pride and power, and resounding t hroiiLch
every land and clime wit h warning notes.
Uctnrninj; to I'.iue l.id-e the details of
the explosion were commented upon at
Treat length. Kadi nuest had somejheory
to advance as to what would come next,
and whj this atrocious crime had been
perpetrated.
"It all comes from this confounded aicit.-i-tion
that i'atnell is keeping up,"' said the
fluke, as we were enjoyiui; a comfortable
half-hour hy ourselves in his rooms.
"I do no! iM.-lieve I'arnell is to blame.

than ii-iy oii'.r man owns ii: I'j:laud; all in
one body, too! And surrounded by a harh
wire fence, that is proof against every
thing, even your boasted homestead and
pre-emption laws!''
"How did you yet it:-' asked the colonel,
amazed.
"Why. I bought alternate sections of
railroad lands, anil then sent in different
names as settlers to enter pre-emption,
home stead and limber claims to secure the
yoverntiient si ct ions. '
"Mat they must be different men," pro-
tested the colonel. "One man can pre
enijii. only oi ;.'-y acres, or. u a Soulier, one
hundred and : i:ty. So, how couial you get
a whole sect ion."
"Oli. I se: you are not a politician," said
the duke, much amused. "You have not
yet learned the ropes, as they say iu your
country."
"No. I confess I am not initiated," said
the colonel.
"Vou seem to know the workings of the
ring." I said turning to the duke.
"Ves. I was interested. Many of the
polit ic ians in America, as elsewhere, allow
a gold coin to cover doubtful points. If
you should go to Washington and examine
the records, yon would, if you could trace
it out, find millions of acres held by ficti
cious names. Then, too, the railroads
large as their grants h.we been, have near
ly doubled their lands when sold. Here is
a statement which I received from a friend
of mine at Washington, that will prove
what I say is true," he said, taking a pa
per out of his pocket and laying it tin the
table where we could examine it. "There,
you see the railroads claim to have grants
amounting to IJO 7,000,01 M) acres; while by
ascertaining what the diiferent roads have
actually earned, we find it to be less than
one-fourth of their claims-. That is a graud
success, you see. lor the railroads.
"I do not see how that is possible," said
the colonel, "when their giants are de
fined by metes and bounds."
"They are defined on the maps, buf
when the lands are surveyed they exceed
the limits from 500 to COO acres to the mile.
The reports say you have 0,000 miles of
completed railroads. An average of five
hundred acres to the mile gives a total
gain to the corporations of some 10,000.000
acres more laud than they have any right
to. So it is stated in your olficial reports
from the land oliice in Washington, lie
sides that there are immense quantities of
lands claimed along lines that are not
built, and that cannot now be built under
the laws making these grants, yet the cor
porations claim the lands and are selling
them as fast as they can."
"Xow I do not wonder where the wealth
that seems to flow in upon the railroad
corporations comes from," said tlie colo
nel. "I can now see how men can become
millionaires in so short a time."
"Yes, that is grand," said I. "The gov
ernment makes donations to corporations
to build railroads. They double the gift,
then charge the people exorbitant rates for
the roads."
"Wavcrland, you are slightly sarcastic,"
said the duke.
"Well, it seems to me that people are
vey ignorant or very careless to allow
sue!) schemes to flourish," saitl I.
"it would be hard work for men like Jay
(iotild. tlie Vaniierl lilts and other railroad
tligi'.ila, is. if all the American people
were alive to the legalized robbery that is
carrie ! oil amontr tiwm. Thev would." if

"Well." said the col iiiel. "I have often
heard that men can learn rno-v of them
selves through other people's eyes than
through their own. I thank yon. Mel
vorne. for having shown us some of our
weaknesses, and where some of the dan
gers to our nation lie. I never knew that
our American lands were lteing gobbled up
so fast, or that vast estates are being made
of the very lands that fair American farm
ers will need to make homes for them
selves arwl their children."

little one. she has been my greatest com
fort." said my mot her, placing her hand
upon the head of the weeping child.
The physician administered to my moth
er her potion and f li her p::!-.;. I knew
by the look on the kind old face that, the
dear one who had filled my life with ti
halo of light from the heavenly v.orl-I.
would soon be beyond the reach of p. tin or
sorrow. Mow frail she look.-1 as she lay
with closed eyes, breathing so ijuicily her
life away.
"Oh, mamma, mamma," moaned Myr
tle. ily mother opened her eyes in an.-wer to
her baby's call. The mother's heart was
loath to leave her darling. She reached
her hand out to find us, and asked:
'".My son, are you here? Myrtle, darling.
(Jod bl?ss yon," came in a whisper so faint
tint I could hardly catch the words. Then
silence fell upon the lips that had oi:'y ut
tered words of love and tender counsel.
The physician said:
"Rest in pe:ice." And, as I looked tit the
sweet face now beautified with a hope of
eternal glory, I could only say, "Yes, rest
in peace."
It was only the swinging open of the
golden gates. I could not weep. I could
only stand and lood at the dear, dead
body. It was only the empty casket, the
precious jewel was not there. Taking
Myrtle by the hand. I led her to my room
where I soon hail a comfortable fife.
Poor weeping Myrtle. She was such a
wee frail child, though ten years old. So
young to miss a mother's love. But I had
promised my mother to guard her from
harm.
What a sal home coming this had been
to me. I did not anticipate much pleasure,
but I IkhI always found my mother ready
to welcome me home with loving words
and tender care. Now life was desolate
indeed! "Xo fine to love, none to caress!"
I thought of the words, "Xo one is ever
ouite miserable who has the love of one
small child." I had that at least. Myrtle
clung to me with a tender, trusting love.
How my heart yearned for the intelligent
sympathy Stella would have given! She
could have been a sister to Myrtle and a
comforter to me! Where was she now
IIal she forgotten us, or was her heart
ever turning toward the past with fond re
membrance of us all? Even mv mother
had longed for her in the solitude of sick
ness. I was gl;ul to know my mothers
wish: for in my heart I was resolved to
win Stella's love if we should ever meet
again, and I had strong hopes that some
time we should meet.
How dull were the days that followed.
We were lonely and full of sorrow, my
little sister and I. Thoughts of other clays
would come to mock me with vanished
joys. Days when my mother was my
friend. Then, days when sunshine was
shed throughout the dull old house at War
verland by our sweet friend. Would hap
piness ever again take up its abode nl Wa
verland? Days pass; the beautiful dead was laid to
rest, arid Myrtle and I took up the bur
den of life again. She was a quiet child
and accustomed to amusing herself. I
soon learned to love her very dearly: her
very helplessness was a call for love and
teiiiterne.-ss for me. Soon after my moth
er's ikath Annie Wren urged Myrtle to
go home with her, but she chose to stay
with me and was always by my side. As
I look back to those days I feel veri tfiank
f ul for the little :-:.-ter who kepi me from
despair.
When the joyous springtime came with
birds and Mowers, renewed life sprang up
within my heart. It was near the time for
nie to start for London, if I wished to visit
America with the duke of Melvorne.
What had I better do? I could not take
Myrtle with me, and to send her away
among strangers seemed a cruel thing to
do. I was still undecided, when one morn
ing we had been out riding and called at
Sir Wren's. Annie met us at the door and
persuaded Myrtle to spend a few days
with her. .When the time for Myrtle's
visit to end came, I went to bring her
home. Still what to do with her during
my absence was an anxious puzzle. When
she saw me she came, and putting her

As 1 took her hand it trembled and her
face grew very white. She kept her ejes
turned toward 1 he Moor. What could it
mean? I kept asking myself all the way
home if I had won this lair girl's love. I
did not know. We had been friends from
childhood, and I loved her w it Ii a ho i-.li

had ever passed between us. She was lo

When 1 reached my iodgit; in Imdoii,

he wished lo Mart on oi,r western tour.
The answer came iu person of the Duke

"j ou uere in earnest.'' he said, giving
me a cordial hair! tliake as he spoke.
"Ye.-,, sir," I replied. "I want to see t ho

Our preparation- lor the voyag" were
citiie.'t'y completed. Our passage was m
c.r. ed on t hi; "Fulda," and soon v.e were
plov. i.ig the waters of the dec p, leaving

In the. f!i.-.tanoe. I thought how like our
life is this path, very real and full of life; it
i.i.--at lir-st, i'.ud t iie:i ii is lost and for
gotten. The flocks were crowded v. iih v. gay com
pany. Some were going home, after years
of absence, to greet the dear ones waiting
to welcome; them. Others, like myself
weregoiiig for a first look at the new
world. Our voyage was made after tlio
president of t he I 'nited States had issued
orders for tile great cattle companies to
take their herds from some of the Indian
reservations. A corpulent old i.ian was
making himself very disagreeable over thn
news which had just reached h:',ii.
"Why are you so ve.'ed with i:ic presi
dent's order.
"If it is c ari i'. d out it will cosi nearly till
my cattie are worth. They a:--- not in a
marketable condition." he i. .rurnl
lingly. "How did you obtain permission to put
your herds there?" I iiKj.iired.
"We got lea-.es from the Indian chiefs,"
he said.
"Why. I thought the Indians were wards
of the nation, and had no right I i sell or
case 1 heir lands."
"So they are thought To be. But rhrough

I siid to the fluke a few moments a'ter. im

"Us," said tlie duke, "thai order of the

an "What a finf: looking lady that is sitting
yo.ider watching the sunset, with the
vicing lady at her side." remarked the
i. Like, changing the -.object abruptly.
"T wonder if th-y are Americans?" I
asked.- lis we strolled along the deck.
"Have you met them?"
"Yes, to lot!i your (piistions. I have
met them and they are Americans. The
elderly Judy is the mother. Tin; young
lady is one of the finest violinists of her

"I hope she v. ill favor us icc'e-ionally
with some of her skill." I said, as we
pa ed in to supper.
K v-iiing on shipboard is n-ui'illy a de
lightful time. Every one is willing to bo
agreeable. There were several good musi

music. And glee clubs were formed from
the merry compa ny. Some paired, off for
a quiet game of whist, the only game al
