THE TWO HROTHER8 OK THE
GOOD WORK.

though born In India, had travel.! a
icood deal, and frequented the Euro-1
pean factories In different parts of
Asia. KneakiliB well both English and ,
French, snd full of Intelligence and
sagacity, he was perfectly civilised.
lnatead of answering Rodin's ques
tion, he turned upon hi in a flunt and
searching look. The soclua. provoked
by this silence, and foreseeing; vaguely
that Faringheas arrival tiad some
connection direct or Indirect with
IJalnia, repeated, though still with the
greatest coolness: "To whom, sir,
have I the honor of speaking?"
"IH you not recogniie me,' said Fsr
tnghca, advancing two tftcpe nwtrvr
to Rodin's chair.
"1 do not think I ever had the bonor
of seeing you," answered the ottinr
coldly.
"Hut I recognise you. said Faring
hea; "I saw yon at Cardovllle Castle
the day that a ship and a steamer wore
wrecked together."
"At Cardovllle Castle? It la very
possible, sir. I was there: when a
shipwreck took place."
"And that day I called you by your
name, and you asked me what I want
ed. I replied: 'Nothing now, brother
hereafter, much.' The time has ar
rived. I have come to ask for much."
"My dear sir." said Rodin, still Im
possible, "before we continue this con
versation which appears hitherto tol
erably obscure, I must repeat my wish
to be Informed to whom I hare the
advantage of speaking. You have In
troduced yourself here under preteit
of a commission from Mynheer Joshua
Van Dael, a respectable merchant of
llatavla, and"
"You know the writing of M. Van
Dael 7" said Fartnghna, Interrupting
Rodin.
"I know it perfectly."
"Look!" The half-caste drew from
liis pocket (he was shabbily dressed
In European domes) a long despatch,
which he had taken from one Mahel
the Smuggler, after strangling htm on
the bench near Batavla. These papers
he placed before Rodin's eyes, but
without quitting his hold of them.
"It is. Indeed, M. Van Dael's writ
ing." said Rodin. "This letter, being
to my luulress, and having been cn
' trusted to you by M. Van Dael, you
ought "
"This letter was not entrusted to me
by M. Van Duel," said Faringhea, in
terrupting Rodin.
"How, then, la it in your posses
sion?" "A Javanese smuggler betrayed mo.
Van Dael had secured a passage to
Alexandria for this man and had given
him this letter to carry with him for
the European mall. I strangled the
smuggler, took the letter, made the
passage and here I am."
The Thug hnd pronounced these
words with n air of srvukb boasting;
his wild. Intrepid glance did not quail
before the piercing look or Rodin, who,
at this strange ronfesslon, hnd hastily
raised his head to observe the speaker.
Farrlnghea thought to astonish or to
Intimidate Rodin by these ferocious
words; but, to his great surprise, the
soctus, impassible as a corpse, said to
him quite simply: "Oh! they strangle
people in Java?"
"Yes, there and elsewhere," an
swered Faringhea, with a bitter smile.
"I would prefer to disbelieve you;
but I am surprised at your sincerity
M. , what Is your name"
"Faringhea."
"Well, then, M. Faringhea, what do
you wish to come to? You have ob
tained, by an abominable crime, a let
ter addressed to me, and now you hes
itate to deliver It "
"Because I have read It, and it may
be useful to me."
"Oh! you have read it?" said Rodin,
disconcerted for a moment. Then he
resumed: "1 is true, that Judging by
your mode of possessing yourself of
other people's correspondence, we can
not expect any very great amount of
honesty on your part. And pray, whitt
have you found so useful to you in this
letter?"
"I have found, brother, that you are,
like myself, a son of the Good Work.
"Of what good work do you speak?"
asked Rodin, not a little surprised.
Faringhea replied with an expres
sion of bitter lronv. "Joshua says to
you In his letter 'Obedience and cour
sge, secresy and patience, craft and
audacity, union between us, who have
the world for our country, the breth
ren for our family, Home for our
Queen.'
"It Is possible that M. Van Dael has
written thus to me. Pray, sir, what
do you conclude from it?
"We too, have the world for our
country, brother, our accomplices for
our family, and for our queen Row
an ee."
"I do not know that saint," said
Rodin, humbly.
"It is our Rome," answered the
Strangler. "Van Dael speaks to you
of those of your Order, who, scattered
over all the earth, labor for the glory
of Rome, your queen. Those of our
band labor also in divers countries,
for the glory of Bowanee."
"And who are these sons of Bow
anee, M. Faringhea?"
"Men of resolution, audacious, pa
tient, crafty, obstinate, who, to make
the Good Work succeed, would eacri'
fice country and parents, and sister
and brother, and who regard as ene
mies all not of their band!"
"There seems to be much that Is
good In the persevering and exclusive
ly religious spirit of such an order,"
said Rodin, with a modest and sanc
tified air; "only one must know your
ends and objects.
"The same as your own, brother
we make corpses."
"Corpses!" said Rodin.
"In this letter," resumed Faringhea,
"Van Dael tells you that the greatest
glory of your order is to make
corpse of a man." Our work also is to

' dead we make by the cord are not
more Icy and inanimate than those
you make by your discipline. Take
my hand, brother; Rome and Howanee

Notwithstanding hli apparent calm-
nw, Rodin could not behold, without
some secret alarm, a wretch like Kar-
Ingrea In possession of a long letter
from Van Iacl. wherein mention
miint necessarily have been made of
Dialma. Hodin believed, Indeed, that
he had rendered It Impossslble for the
young Indian to be at Paris on the

morrow, but not knowing what con
nection might have been formed, since
the shipwreck, between the prince and
the half-caste, he looked upon Faring
hea as a man who might probably be
very dangerous. But the more un
easy the soclus felt In himself, the
more he affected to appear calm and
disdainful. He replied, therefore:
"This comparison between Rome and
Bowanee Is no doubt very amusing;
but what, sir, do you deduce from It?"
I wish to show you, brother, what
I am, and of what I am capable,
to convince you that It is better to
have me for a friend than an enemy."
"In other terms, sir" said Rodin,
with contemptuous Irony, "you be
long; to murderous sect in India, and,
you wish, by a transparent allegory, to
lead me to reflect on the fate of the
man from whom you have stolen the
letter addressed to me. In my turn, I
will take me freedom Just to observe
to you, In all humility, M. Faringhea,
that here It Is not permuted to stran
gle anybody, and that If you were to
think fit to make any corpses for the
love of Bowanee, your godaess, we
should make you a head shorter, for
the love of another divinity com
monly called Justice."
And what would they do to me,
If I tried to poison any one?"
"I will again humbly observe to you,
M. Faringhea, that I have no time to
glvo you a course of criminal Juris
prudence; but, believe me, you had
better resist the temptation to strangle
or poison any one. One word more:
will you deliver up to me the letters
of M. Van Dael or not?'
The letters relative to Prince
Djalma?" said the half-caste, looking
fixedly at Rodin, who, notwithstand
ing a sharp and sudden twinge, re
mained impenetrable, and answered
with the utmost simplicity; "Not
knowing what the letters are which
you, sir, seem pleased to keep from me
may contain, it Is impossible for me to
answer your question. I beg, and If
necessary, I demand that you will hand
me those leters or that you will re
tire."
"In a few minutes, brother, you will
entreat me to remain."
"I doubt it"
"A few words will operate this mir
acle. If just now I spoke to you about
poisoning, brother. It was because you
sent a doctor to Cardovllle Castle, to
poison (at least for a time) Prince
DJalnia.
In spite of hlmsolf, Rodin started al
most imperceptibly, as he replied: "I
do not understand you."
It Is true, that I am a poor foreign
er, and doubtless speak with an ac
cent; 1 will try and explain myself bet
ter. I know, by Van Dael's letters,
the intorest you have that Prince
Djalma should be here tomorrow, and
all that you have done with this view.
Do you understand me now?
"I have no answer for you.
Two cautious taps at the door here
Interrupted the conversation. "Come
in." said Rodin.

cently presented the following Joint
resolution to congress, proposing that
the article of the constitution relat

To Win Irish Support.
LONDON, Jan. 21. The, Salisbury
cabinet appears determined to do ev-
erything In Its power to win the good
will of the Irish nationalists during the
forthcoming narliamentarv session.
classes In the Emerald lisle.
The two chief sops which it Is offer
ing to the nationalists are the new
Irish local government bill and the
gift to Ireland of a Roman Catholic
university. Thee two measures, In
deed, will occupy most of the coming
session, as the cabinet is determined
to carry them through.
The principle of the local govern
ment bill, which Is now completed, is
fully and frankly democratic and is
modeled on the lines ot English and
Scotch acts. The electoral franchise
Is to be widely extended, both In coun
ties and boroughs, so that the bill will
bring the Irish municipalities and
counties into line with the analogous
bodies in England.
All the machinery of local govern
ment will be placed In the hands of
the popularly elected board. District
councils, as well as county councils,
similar to those in England, will be
created. " '
The two points to which the nation
alists are likely to take exception are
the fact that for the present the con
stabulary remains Independent of tn
maintenance of the power of grand
juries to Impose rates In respect of
malicious Injuries.
Of course, where districts are free
from agitation the government declares
that there will be no occasion to resort
to these special powers, and the fram
ers of Ue bill point out that the na
tionalists will have difficulty In discov
ering hardships in a district being
made subject by Its grand jury to a
special rate to make good the losses
caused by individuals, say, through
incendiarism or the maiming ol anl
mala.
With regard to the Roman Catholic
university, I hear that Lord Salisbury
is every bit as keen about the matter
as Mr. Balfour, and has thoroughly
made up his mind not to give way to
the antagonism of the Orangemen,
who, under the leadership of their
grand master, Dr. Kane, are violently
agitating against the scheme.
MEANWHILE THE NATIONAL
ISTS' LEADERS HAVE BEEN CALL
ED INTO CONSULTATION BY THE
ROMAN CATHOLIC EPISCOPaoT
OF IRELAND, and have now put be
fore the chief secretary of Ireland a
proposal which may assist in the
realization of the scheme.
When one recalls to mind the fact
that at the beginning of the present
reign Roman Catholics were subjected
