Lovdox, April 21. The annual gath
ering of the conservative organization
known aa the Primrose league, was
held in the Convent Garden theatre,
Lord Salisbury, deli verd an address, iu
which he said he hoped that it the'
house of lords should reject the Irish
home rule bill for the separation of
Ireland from Great ikitian, the gov j
eminent would, as it threatened, not
dissolve parliament, but again intro
duce the bill. lie would be only too'
glad, be added, if the government
would continue their futile attempts at
impossible legislation until the un-
ionists would be able to impress the
truths of the question upon the
electors.
Lord Salisbury said the financial pro
posals of the bill would almost bank
rupt Ireland and would heavily burden
Great Britain. But, he continued, thq
atrocious feature of the scheme was
that the Irish members would sell their
freedom for the advantage of Irelan 1
by forcing the government to give them
what they wanted. The bill now bo
fore the house of commons would nut
get rid of the Irish question, since
England would be compelled to comply
with Irish demands. The house of
lords exclaimed Lord Salisbury, must
not be turned away from its duty by
any discussions concerning its consti
tution, but must rescue the empire from
iU assailant.
The chief subject of interest iu the
house of commons was the avowed de
fection from the liberal party, so far as
Irish home rule is concerned, of Mr.
William Saunders, member of
parliament for Newington, Wal
worth, Mr. Saunders announced
that hisoppositson to the bill was based,
on the requirement of a property
qualification for the second chamber of
the Irish parliament. The debote on
the Irish home rule bill was by speakers
of only second rate importance.
IHbm PmMU tha Ducheaa of Suther
land coins to Jail.
London, April 21. The story given
out that the dowager duchess of
Sutherland, who was sentened to six
weeks' imprisonment in Holloway jail
for contempt of court, was driven to
the prison and locked up, was univer-'
sally priuted and believed. It trans
pired, however, that- the report was
erroneous. After the imposition of
the sentence the dowager duchess ob
tained from Justice Jeune and order
permitting her to go to her villa near'
Windsor, with the understanding that
she would surrender herself to the
authorities. It is now announced that
the dowager duchess was taken sud
denly ill at 4 o'clock in the morning
A physician was in constand attend
ance upon her until 7 o'clock, when her,
condition was such that he summoned
another doctor to consult on the case.
Later the doctors sent a certificate to
the authorities to the effect that the
duchess was too ill to sui render to un
dergo the sentence of imprisonment
imposed by Justice Jeune.
A section of the press is trying to es
tablish the argument that in sentenc
ing the dowager duchess J ustnee Jeune
exceeded his authority, and these
papers point out in support of their
contention that a peeress is exempt
from arrest in a civil case.

by the wind and the debris scattered
for agreat distance.
Detroit, April 22. One of the
heaviest gales ever known on the

were out
Milwaukee, April 22. The worst
blizzard of the season, and byfarths
most severe ever known at this time of
the year, was raging throughout Wis
consin and northern Michigan Thurs
day. At Kenosha, Wis, the wind bier
at the rate of seventy-live mites an
hour. Sixty feet of the steel roof o.
the Northwestern Wire Mattres com
pany was blown away, docks were un
dermined and carried out into the har
bor and boats of all descriptions swept
ashore.
Meridian, Miss., April 22. Clarke
and Jasper couoties of this state suf
fered from a cyclone Thursday night
at 7 o'clock more deadly to human life
and destroying far more property tban
the one of three weeks ago. It fol
lowed almost in the tracks f its pre
decessor. Over forty people wer-j
killed and nearly '.MO more or less in
jured. These figures may lie increased
when all of the stricken districts an
beard from. The destruction to prop
erty will amount to hundreds of thous
ands of dollars. Entire neighborhoods
have been literally swept off the face
of the earth. The cycl nie's path wa-i
through a vast piue fores', broken here
and there by a farm. Huge trees were
uprooted and carried for a distance oi
a mile. JNear tne town or racnuut
lived the family of William l'arton,
consisting of himself, wife and three
children. Their bodies, except that of
the youngest child, were picked up
over a mile away, mangled and en
tirely nude. Their brains had been
dashed out. The child had a miracu
lous escape. It was found a half a
mile from its home early this morning
uninjured, but piteously crying for its
mother. Wiliiam JFisher lived near
the station with his mother, wife and
five children. They were blown away
and searching parties have been out all
day, but none of their bodies have been
recovered. A child of Sim McGowan
was found dead in a treetopa mile from
its home. Four negroes from the
Eldridge plantation were killed out

ing nine perished. One of the children
wis found two miles from where it
was playing when picked up by the
deadly wind.
Did Consult Slevrru.
Washington, April 22. A private
tetter from a United States otliciul in
Hawaii came in the mail last night.
In reference to the report that Com
missioner Blount directed the lowering
of the United States flag without con
sulting with Minis er Stevens, Admiral
Skerrett or any of the representatives
of the United States in Honolulu, the
writer states that Blount did have a
consultation with Stevens on the sub
lect, and while he does not say so in so
many words, the inference to be drawn
from the letter is that Steves coincided
with the commissioner in the action.
Another report and one that found
much currency in Honolulu, that the
Japanese in Hawaii were contemplat
ing resistance by force to American
domination on the islands, and that they
had received arms to assist them in
their determination, is contradicted by
the writer, who states that the Japm-
ese, and, in fact, all the people of 'he
islands, are peaceably inclined and do
hot anticipate trouble, and that in
point of fact the only agitators there
at present are the- newspaper corres
pondents.

LADY MAJENDIE
t'HAlTKK I-rotiiiucd.
The morning had begun to dawn, and
the cold, blue light shone in on the de
serted rooms; all the servants were gone
to bed save the watchers in the death
room, when Lady Grisel stole down once
more to gaze on the lace of the dead.
The women drew tack when she entered
and left ber alone; the dreary light filled
the room, and outside the wind had sunk
to a whispering moan.
Angus was at tbe door when shocanio
nut and she put ber hand into his that
he might lead her away, her heart yearn-
Ins for sympathy. As thev went to
gother.one of the women touched Angus's
arm, and held out something to him. It
was his brother's signet ring. A strange
fueling made him shiver from head to
toot as he placed it on his linger.
If AITKIt III.
Assunta bad placed herself and her
child unhesitatingly in the hands of
worthy Master Malcolm, and with the
true charity of his kindly nature, he
took in the friendless woman, housed
and fed her. and administered to her
broken spirit Till the funeral of the
young laird should be over, he would not
question or disturb her; and indeed she
seemed to be in no wise capable or an
swering questions, but sat with vacant
ores, bending over her child, and rocking
herself to and fro; but when that solemn
day had passed by, the Minister judged
t best to hear Assunta s story before In
quires were made from Dunmonalgh.
Assunta do Caroll was the only child
of an unfortunato political refugee.
While she was still a littlo child, Leone
tie Caroll had been forced to flee from
bis native country with her and her young
mother: the latter fell an easy victim to
the colder climate of the north of Scot
land, whither motives of economy and
tho necessity for secrecy had induced
them to come, and Assunta was left to
the solo guardianship of her father.
In the midst of this poor and half-fed
life, Assuntu grow up and developed into
a lovely girl. Her education had not been
icglectod, for her father was a well-read
man, but it had Deen careless and des
ultory. She was fond of wandering in
the woods which covered the hills at tho
back ot tne town of Strathluan; sho
loved the scent of the tirtrocs and tho
crimson heather; aud bcre one day she
met with Ewau Macmonach, his gun on
bis shoulder, surrounded by dogs; and
again and again would Ewan return, and
tho dogs grew to Know her so well, that
they would leap and fawn on her as she
came up the path; and when the yellow
haired Ewan and dark-eyce1 Assunta
walked slowly through tho heather, the
timid deer rejoiced, for they were safe.
Sometimes De Caroli would join them,
but oftener they wore alone and enter
tained each other well.
One day Ewan told Lady Grisel that
he had set hit heart on making Assunta
his wife; her displeasure was indescrib
able. She was a stern Presbyterian; her
horror of the "idolatry ot Rome" was
ono oi the strongest reelings oi her re
ligion.
Ewan was not learned, was less clever
than other men, simple in his tastes,
throwing away money foolishly, acting
on impulse, loving the free open air, and
the exercise of his herclean limbs; be
could neither plead nor argue; his
mother's bitter words and opposition
hurt him. Ewan loved peace, and in his
bewildered grief he entreated Assunta to
assent to a private marriage, only to be
secret for a while, a short while, till he
should have brought bis mother to listen
to his suit. Assunta loved him too
dearly to refuse, l.ovo of mystery was
one of the courses of Do' Caroli' char
acter; he knew that his health was fall
ing; It was all-important to him that his
daughter should be provided wltn a
home and ho promised that if they
would leave all arrangements to him, it
should be accomplished with perfect
secrecy, and without delay.
A very few weeks after his daughter s
marriage the exile died, and Assunta was
not lert desoiute.
A whole year elapsed, and still Ewan
had not told his mother, and Assunta
was so happy with the husband she loved,
that she cared nothing for the life of por
feet seclusion she led, and asked no more.
In the pride of his youth and strength.
Ewan was cut down, ana Assunta round
herself left, at 19 years old, a widow and
alone.
It was with an anxious and sad heart
that Master Malcolm begged Assunta to
tell htm what sho could about her mar
riage. "It is all-Important, my child," he,
said; "more Important than perhaps you
think it affects so many."
'Not so much as It would have done if
baby had been a boy." said Assunta,
leaning her bead wearily on her band.
"Boy! he is nit a boy!" cried Master
Malcolm, In the greatest astonishment.
"No; she Is a little lassie," said As
sunta, sadlv.
"Alas! alas!" he cried, "all the lands
of Dunmonalgh to go to a girl; oh! why
was she not a boy'"
"It Is best so," said Assunta, "for now
It will only be to give her money, and
Angus Macmonach will still be the laird."'
Master Malcolm shook his bead sor
rowfully. "Not so," he said; "all, every
thing goes to the heir, bo he male or fe
male." "1 did not know," fajterod Assunta.
She gave Into the hands of tee Minis
ter a desk io which Ewan bad been wont
to keep a few treasures, which the bad
sent for from Strathluao.
CASTLE
"Here, Padre Master Malcolm I mean
in here you will find my proofs."
The Minister turned the rusty little
kev in its lock, and opened the flesn.
The contents were motly enough. Two
gorgeous salmon-flies, a roll oi wire, an
nraveled and twisted snout everymum
Iso. There was a packet marked in
Iwan's school-bov hand. "Letters from
Assunta." There was a child s inaia-
bber ring; and quite in tbe back, a ron
ribbon, the knot of which was care
lly sealed. A bunch of labels were
fastened to the sea1. The Minister took
them and read them one by one.
Attested copy of marriage certificate,
taken trom half-burnt register, aiier
the burning of St. Agnes'." The next
"Baptismal eertificate of Margaret
CJriselda." Both were dated, 'lho third
simply "My will"
What does this mean''' saiu me
Minister. "In what church wore you
married?'1
"In the Roman Catholic Chapel at
Strathoclile, which was burnt down last
year."
And tho registers were oestroyeu.
Is tho clergyman who married you to be
found?"
Alas, no!" answered Assunta, tho
tears streaming from ber eyes; "he died
about a month after the baptism of the
child. Be was a dear friend to me."
"Who wero the witnesses of the cero-
niony. my dear child.'
"My father."
"Dead also," muttered tha Minister;
"and who oise'?''
"The sacristan of St. Agnos' he has
loft Strathochie now."
Tho Minister looked vory grave.
"What would you havo mo to do?" he
said; "shall I open these papers and
make an examination of them? I will
act according to your wishes."
"No," answered Assunta. "When
Ewan put thdn there he said they were
moant for his mother's bands. I would
rather that no one but Lady Grisel
should break the seal. Do you believe
my story, Master Malcolm?" sho cried,
suddenly. "Von do bellcye me? Will
help me?"'
"I do I believe it all. .The young
laird was very dear tome," he said, pass
ing his hand across his eyes; "I never
knew ill in to deceive man, women, or
child the only gift ho inherited from
my Lady Griiol; but, alas! this has been
a mad concealment. Do not fear, I be
lieve you my child;" and lie laid his hand
on the young widow's shoulder, and
therewith -heaved a deep sigh. Was not
Presbyterian naturo woeful at this Pap
ist alliance?
Assunta cared not for tho sigh; she
impulsively kissed the hand of the Min
ister, who withdrew It hastily.
"We must give these papars to Lady
Grisel," he shid. "You shall accom
pany me to Dunir.onaigh to-morrow,
that she may open them in our presence
with all formality."
"To-morrow !" so soon! cried Assunta,
shrinking.
"It should be done at once; meantime,
for safoty, thoy had best be loft in my
drawer; that is but a feeble guard for so
precious a packet" he said, looking at
poor Assunta's little leather desk.
"It will be safer there," she auswered,
looking at tbe strong wooden tablo; and
she returned up-stalrs to her littlo child,
her one comfort and help in this dark
hour of her lite.
The Minister sat by his table, with his
head leaning on bis hand, wrapped In
melancholy thought. Tbe drawer was
open, and as his eyes fell on the packet.
he sighed more heavily than ever, "It
will be a terrible blow to Lady Grisel,
he reflected. "It will almost crush her
for 1 cannot doubt this story.".
Ho sat thus when the door opened, and
Kcrenhappuch announced "Mr. Angus,
Minister," and Angus Macmonach
walked in. Ills look was so disturbed,
and his face so pale, that Master Mal
colm did not notice bis omlssisn of cus
tomary salutation. He sat down, and
rushed with painful eagerness into the
subject of bis visit.
"Well, Mr. Malcom," ho said, "this
story Is all a lie, Is It not? Is the girl
still here? You shall be no loser by your
charity- Wo will do what we can to
help hor "
"Hold"' said the Minister, gravely;
"this is a graver matter than you wot
of. I believe In her story."
"Pshaw!" said Angus, impatiently.
"What means have you of knowing?"
"But I have papers by me."
"Papers!" cried Angus, eagerly.
"They are not proofs?"
"They are here," said the Minister,
and he proceeded to read tho labels
aloud.
"Give me that packet I have a right
to open and examine it" .
"Not so," said Minister Malcolm, re
placing tbe packet in tha drawer and
turning tbe kev. "But no one may
touch them but Lady Grisel, your
mother, and that in tbe pretece of Mis
tress Macmonach and myself."
Then Angus swore a violent oath; the
Minister's face grew pale with dis
pleasure. "Angus Macmonach," he said, "no
evil words will undo what Is done."
Angus flung himself into a chair.
"Would the girl bear of a compro
mise?" ho asked.
"You must not suggest it whilo the
matter is still uncertain; that were the
worst course you could take"
"Would to Heaven that it were uncer
tain!" said Angus, and ere tbe words left
his Hps, he repented ot them; again he
paced up and down. The Minister be
gan to wonder where this would end.
when, unwittingly of who was within,
Assunta entered the room.
Seeing Agnes, she stood still, clasping
her child, ber large eyes fixed upon him,
and In ber whole manner and mien were
a dignity and Innate nobleness for which
be was not prepared; but it was life or
death to him, and bo would not spare
her;
The Minister shrank back as though
be were guilty; he could not bear to see
the shaft wing lis way home In that

"So you will not let me see those pa

quitted the Minister's house.
'To-morrow you shall see them, anfi
doubts will be set at rest." answered
Master Malcolm; and Angus went home
yet more anxious than he came.
IHAPTfcR IV.
In Dunmonalgh old-fashioned lawj
were kept, and by half-past 10 every
inmate of the house was io bed, and the
doors barred and chained; but on tn
night of the day after Ewan Macmon
ach's funeral, some one was stirring
a,.An fit mMn1?ht.
-iwnen,auu p - - - . ,
The night was very Ene. The loch
i.v iiia. ai.nntaf silver in the light ol
the moon; thero was not a ripple on the
surface not a cloud on the purple sky.
Secretly and softlv as a thiet in tht
night, Angus Macmonach opcoed tha
littlo door, descended tho steps to the
boat, and pushed off Into tho silent loch.
Swiftly flew tho littlo boat; Angus'
foot touched tbe opposite shore, and
wrapping his plaid round his breast he
mounted the hill.
In the manso all likewise slept As
sunta with ber child in her arms, worn
out with weeping and sorrow. No one
beard stealthly movements below. Th
manse was never barred nor locked up
at night "There are no robbors here."
Master Malcolm would say; "and should
robbers eomo, here Is nothing to rob;" so
without let or hlnderanco Angus found
himself alone in the Minister's room.
It was bitterly cold, but he wiped the
drops from his brow as he drew from his
pocket a large bunch of kevs and knelt
down by the table.
Uo tried one key after another would
nono fit yet tbe look was a common ono.
Another and yet another; at last., with a
loud crack which made Angus vibrate
from head to foot, tho lock flow back
and tho packet was boforo his oyes.
Quickly and softly he unrolled its folds
by the light of tho gleaming moon; he
took out the precious papers; he thrust
in blank sheets instead; rotled the green
ribbon and labels. Angus must strlko a
light; how loud tho match sounded! it
thrilled him through aud through. All
had been thought of t he red was was
pressed down, and ho bent over and
sealed it anew with his brother's ring.
Tho baby moved restlessly in her slco.p
and Assunta pressed her closer, half
opening hor weary eves.
"Hush, hush, darling! twoot littlo one,
sleep! God watches over tho fatherless
and widow."
Swiftly tho little boat crossed tho lech
again, and there was no movement or
light In the windows of Dunmonalgh.
C'UAPTEB V.
Assunta rose on the following day wi'.b
the heavy weight on her heart of ono
about to go through a painful ordeal.
She could scarcely touch the food Ker
enhappuch placed before her; and as the
time for their going to Dunmonalgh ap
proached, she grew hourly paler and
paler.
Early in the morning Master Malcolm
had sent over a message to Lady Grisel
asking her at what hour it would suit her
to receive them, and the answer came
that at mid-day would bo best; so when
tho sun was rising high In the Heavens
they started together.
Assunta had need of the good Min
ister's arm, for never had road see mod
so long or so rough. An unspoken feel
ing made master Malcolm choose to goby
tbe road rather than by the loch. It
scorned to his simple mind that, humble
as sho might be, Ewan Macmonach's
wife should enter hor husband's home by
its principal entrance with all dignity.
Long as the way seemed at first As
sunta thought it all too short when they
siooo oeioro tne great doors.
"Courage, my child summon un all
your courage," said her kind friend; and
ne rang tne bell, which resounded
through the house.
In one short moment they found them
selves In the presence of Lady Grisel and
her son.
They were sitting at the end of a long
library; the blinds were still drawn, and
the dark furniture of the room, with Its
tiers upon tiers of old books, gave It a
gloomy aspect
Ladv Grisel rose from her seat when
she saw them, and saluted them gravely.
Angus did not rise when they came In,
but sat leaning back in his chair, studi
ously endeavoring to appear a mere
spectator of the seene.
Lady Grisel desired both to be seated,
and then leaning forward with one el
bow on the table she began
"Master Malcolm, in a matter of vital
importance such as this Is, we will lose
no time In ldio parley. understand
that you consider that you hold proofs
of my son's marriage with this ladv"
Tbe Minister bowed.

Lady Grliel, "to answering what ques
tions 1 may see Ot to make before we
proceed to examine her papers?"
"No," said Assunta. Duttinv Wii tho
dark hair from her brow, and raising her
face: "I will answer all that von
me."
"At what church did this cerem
take place?"
hi. ... . .

"And who wore the witnesses?"
"My father and the sacrintan
"A"0 they only signed tho register?"
"They only."
"What day was this?"
"The tenth of September, last year "
Lady Grisel glanced at 4 littlo memorandum-book
she held In her hand and
slightly started; she continued
"And after the marriage did you re.
turn to Strathluan?"
"No, we went north Into the hills to
Glentyro."
Again Lady Grisel glanced at her book,
and saw recordod a letter from Ewan,
dated from Glonlyrc, whither, be said,
he had gone for tho purchase of dogs.
