CHAPTER XX.—(Continued.)
"Oh, weeding and toddling about
picking up stones and—and doing odd
Jobs generally,” answered David, who
was beginning to get rather uncom
fortable under the Arc of her truthful
•yes and the terrible directness of her
Questions.
1/ “In fact, you have made Isaac under
ling, laborer, slavey to your grand
new gardener, Is that It?” she cried.
“Oh, come now,” he began, but Dor
othy stood still In the road and con
fronted him angrily.
“Is it so or not?” she asked.
“Well, something like that,” he ad
mitted, unwillingly.
“Is It absolutely so or not?” Dorothy
•sked again.
i "Well, I’m afraid It Is," said David,
with a great air of making a clean
breast of the whole matter. “You see,
\ Dorothy, the old fellow never was
much of a hand at gardening-”
“He was good enough for us,” sighed
Dorothy, In heart broken voice.
"Yes; but Indeed he really was past
his work, or I should never have
thought of displacing him. And if it
hadn’t been for you—that he was a
good many years your gardener-”
"Nearly forty years,” put in Dor
othy.
“Well, of course, If it hadn’t been
for that I should Just have replaced
him without troubling any further
about him. As it was, I made a place
for him, and I gave hlrn ten shillings
a week for what I could get better done
by a boy for six.”
“And tho cottage?” asked she.
"Oh, well, of course, the cottage goes
wnn me situation, answereu uaviu,
who was getting rather sulky.
There was a moment's silence; then
Dorothy suddenly stopped and turned
to face him. "David,” she flashed out,
"you may be a good farmer, but you
are a hard man, a hard man. One of
these days you’ll come to be—but,
there, what Is the good of talking to
you? If long and faithful service
will not touch your heart, wbat else
will?”
“There Is one thing which will al
ways have power to touch my heart,”
be said, eagerly. "Shall I tell you
what?”
“No,” said Dorothy, wearily. “I prob
ably should not believe it. If forty
years would not do it, nothing else
could.”
As she spoke she turned down the
street which led to Palace Mansions,
for she saw that It was hopeless now
to try to prevent bis finding out where
she lived; and, indeed, now that Dick
was safely out of the country, she did
not think that it mattered much. Da
vid, for his part, took advantage of the
quiet side street, and spoke out what
was In his mind.
"Dorothy,” he said, "came back to
the Hall, and I will show you whether
I am a hard man or not; only come
back and let us forget the past, nobody
need know anything. I will never
remind you of It. Only come back, my
dear, and everything shall be as you
wish—as you direct. I’ll send the new
gardener to Holroyd, and Isaac shall
be head gardener at the Hall, with a
couple of men under him to do the
work- Does that sound like being
hard, Dorothy?”
"Yes,” said Dorothy, coldly—"hard
est of all, because you would not hesi
tate to buy me, body and soul, through
my compassion and pity for those poor
unfortunate ones, who can not help

the hard power which your money and
your strength give you."
"Oh, Dorothy, It Is not so,” he cried.
"I only ask you to come hack because I
love you and want you. Besides. I
can not bear to see you as you look
now—tired and worn, and ten years
older than when you turned your back
on all your old friends for the sake
of a fellow who has brought you to
this.”
"To what?" Dorothy cried, her eyes
opening wide, and her tones expressing
such astonishment that David fairly
quailed before her look.
"To a ghost of your old self,” he an
swered curtly. Uut It was all of no
uas. Dorothy could be curt, too, on
occaalons, and she was so thsn.
"It seems to me that you are making
mistakes all round. David," she said,
coldly. "1 am not very well, and the
heat haa tired me—but I am not what
you tahe me for. 1 have been, thank
Uud for It, a blessedly happy wife for
many inontha. I will wish you govt)
morning. David."
She turned away without giving him -
time to say a word, and went as quick- ,
ly as was possible toward her borne, j
and wsat In without turning her bead
to s»e what had become of him. As
fur l>avtd Htevenson, he simply stood
rooted to the spot where she had lef

and retrace-1 hla step*, with a face Ilk

"Yes, m’ lord,” said the servant, and
hopped up onto the box, giving the
order to the coachman.
"AH right,” murmured that digni
tary In reply, then added In a lower
voice still, "What's the old codger up
to now, I wonder?”
"Uncommon pretty girl,” answered
Charles, In an equally low tone,
"We've been after her some time.”
“Who Is she?"
"Mrs. ’Arris. Lives In Palace Man
sions," with a wink.
“H’m! I wishes her Joy of ’lm,” said
the coachman, screwing his face up
Into a thousand expressive wrinkles.
"Me, too,” said the footman, snig
gering. "HI, he’s going Into the Park,”
whereat the coachman turned his
horses In at Prince's Date, also, and
they drove In abreast of David Ste
venson, who was looking no more at
peace with the world or with himself
than he had been when be turned into
the High street, out of the quiet road
In which Palace Mansions may be
found.
"Still faithful to Master Dick, or else
the new-comer not attractive enough,”
thought Lord Aylmer, with a sneer,
as he gave a sharp, keen look at the
tall young man’s lowering face.
CHAPTER XXI.
, THINK that David
Stevenson had nev
er been In such a
towering rage In
his life as when he
turned In at the
Park gates and
went swinging
jr>v; along In the direc
tion of the Achll
\ les. For during
those few moments
when he watched her after she left
him and before she disappeared into
Palace Mansions, he had realized that
she had gone from him forever. He
realized that whether she was actually
married or not, she was not for him,
and he had suddenly become awaro,
almost without knowing why, that
there was a cause for her altered looks
—a cause which would be forever a bar
to the fond hopes which he had cher
ished during nearly all his life, certain
ly ever since Dorothy as a wee, tod
dling, soft-eyed child had come, fath
erless and motherless, to be the light
and life of the old Hall and the very
joy of Miss Dlmsdale's lonely hearth.
So that fellow had got round her,
after all—bis bitter thoughts ran, as he
strode along—and all the worship and
devotion of his life had been flung
HAILED A CAB.
aside as naught for the sake of a spe
cious tongue and a swaggering, army
sort of manner.
As a mutter of fact, Dick had not the
very smallest shade of a swagger about
him, but David Stevenson was the kind
of man who Invariably Judges every
man by a type, and to him an army
man was a man who turned his toes
out a good deal more than was neces
sary and said "Haw!" after every
three words he spoke. That the man
who had stolen Dorothy's love from
him did neither of these things made
no difference to David's conception of
him. He had stolen Dorothy from
him. and that was enough to make
David endow him in his own mind with
all the most hateful attribute# of hta
detestable class.
Nor did he even stop to consider that
he waa distinctly unjust In crediting
Harris with stealing Dorothy's love
from him. Kor It Is Impossible to steal
from any man what that man bail
never had to lose, and moat emphati
cally he had never possessed one llltle
tiny corner of Dorothy Strode’* heart;
to be plain, Dorothy had always de
tested bin*
Kor an hour or mere David strode
about the I'ark till the etorm of fury
which possessed him had somewhat
calmed down, aud always ths smart

He turned away from the row la to
a side path, but the west metnawt he
mw that the smart victoria had turned
Into that road also.
"Confound him, be must be watching
me," he thought. Irritably, "and yet
wbat should he want to watch me for?
Oh. hang it. I’ll go home!”
Without a moment's hesitation he
turned his steps toward Apsley House
and made his way out at the big gates,
where he hailed a cab and gave the man
the address of his hotel, and forgot
about the white-haired old gentleman
In the smart victoria.
But the victoria was there, neverthe
less, following Immediately behind the
modest cab; and when David got out
and went Into the Grand Hotel, Lord
Aylmer called to the footman:
"Charles, I want you to take a mes
sage. Barker, stop.”
Barker pulled up the horses beside
the broad pavement and Charles got
down to hear his lord’s orders.
"Go Into the Grand and find out that
gentleman’s name—don’t mention
mine.”
"Yes, m’ lord,” said Charles.
Now, Charles happened to be an In
genious youth who was not troubled
with any nice scruples about bis hon
or, and believed that the easiest wiy
was Invariably the best way. Ho
therefore, secure In the halo which his
smart white and crimson livery was
enough to cast around him, went Into
the hotel and addressed himself to the
stately bouse porter of the establish
ment.
"X say, porter," said he, "my master,
the Dook of Middlesex, wants to know
the name of a gentleman Just come In
—came In a ’ansom—tall, fairish chap,
looks like a country gentleman."
"D’year mean that one?” asked the
house porter, taking Charles to a glass
door leading to the reading room and
pointing out David.
"Yes, that's the one,” Charles an
swered.
"Oh, yes; that’s Mr. David Steven
son, of Holroytl,” said the bouse por
ter.
"And where’s Holroyd?”
“A mile or two from Harwich,” an
swered the other. “At least, I heard
him say so last night. Hls post-town
IB i 1UI TW IK. Li.
‘‘Ah I yes—thanks. The Dook fancied
he knoo him, but I fancy he was mis
took. Good day to you, porter."
"Good-day to you, my fine cock
pheasant,” returned the big house por
ter, contemptuously; but Charles had
already reached the door and was go
ing back, serene in the power of his
own Impudence, to impart the informa
tion which he bad gathered to his mas
ter.
"The gentleman’s name Isr Steven
son. my lord,” he said. "Mr. David
Stevenson, of Holroyd, Harwich.”
"Ah, yes,” and then the old savage
pulled out his notebook and Jotted
the name down without comment.
"How did you find out?”
"I said my master, the Dook of Mid
dlesex, wished to know, as he fancied
he knoo the gentleman,” Charles an
swered, promptly.
Lord Aylmer burst out laughing.
"Ah! very clever—clever. Home.”
"Yes, m‘ lord,” said Charles.
Lord Aylmer laughed more than once
on the way home; he was so Intensely
amused at the Inventive genius dis
played by Charles, whom he had not
before credited with much sharpness
of that kind. He was a man who nev
er took the trouble to make subterfu
ges to his servants; If he wanted a bit
of Information, he simply told one of
them to get It, without caring what
means were taken or giving any rea
son for wanting it. For Instance, he
would never say, “Go and find out
who that gentleman is,” and add, as
ninety-nine people out of a hundred
would do, "I think I know him”—no,
he never troubled to do that; It was
simply after the manner of the cen
turion, “Go anil find out who that Is?"

Spaniards Attack a Reconnoitering

FIRE VIGOROUSLY RETURNED.
The Knemy Compelled to Ketrest to the
Wood*—The Yankee lie* a Hot llruah |
With a Mpanluli Gnnlxiat—A Severe
Flesh Wound to an American Sailor.
Kingston, Jamaica, June 30.—A hot
brush between somo Spanish troops
and a reconnoitering party in steam
cutters occurred at daylight yesterday
morning in a small cove west of Morro
castle. The Massachusetts' steam cut
ter, in charge of Lieutenant Harlow,
entered the cove to take soundings and
reconnoiter. When well inside the
inlet a detachment of Spanish Infantry
opened fire on the cutter from a block
house. The fire was vigorously re
turned by the marines In the Massa
chusetts boat and also by marines who
were in the New York's cutter, which
was in charge of Naval Cadet Howell,
and which hail followed in. The New
York’s cutter was hit ten times and
the rifle stock of a marine in the cut
ter of the Massachusetts was shattered
hut by great good luck no one was hit.
The Texas opened lire on the hill
side with her fl-pounders and the Vixen
steamed right Into the cove and pep
pi-red the block house with her rapid
tire guns.
Eventually the Spaniards retreated
to the woods and the two steam cut
ters withdrew.
The Yankee arrived here Thursday
and Captnin llrownson reported that
last Monday while off Clenfuegos a
Spanish gunboat came out to meet the
Yankee, evidently mistaking her for a
merchant vessel. The Spaniard, how

and opened Arc, which was hotly re
turned by the Yankee. The latter
chased the gunlx>at until the Spaniard
took refuge in the harlx.r, whose forts <
opened tire on the American vessel.
Thereupon the Yankee engaged the
e:” rn and western batteries, but see
in„ jo chance of catching the gunboat
the Yankee withdrew. During the
engagement a Spanish shell burst over
the Yankee and a falling fragment
struck a landsman named Kennedy,
formerly an insurance clerk in New
York City, inflicting n severe flesh
wound on his right shoulder. He is
expected to recover. The Spanish
gunboat chased by the Yankee was
about 500 tons and 200 feet long. The
naval reserves who man the Yankee
fought well.
AGUINALDO’S LATEST MOVE.
American* Invited to WI trie** the Formal
Declaration of Independence.
Manila, June 20, via Hong Kong,
June 18.—Aquinaldo, the insurgent
leader, issued a proclamation calling
on the natives to assemble at Cavite on
June 12, and inviting the Americans
to be present at the ceremony of a dec
laration of independence.
The Spaniards are making desperate
attempts to regain their lost positions.
Under American orders, the insur
gents nre holding back and playing
elusive tactics that are cruelly ex
hausting to the Spaniards.
To-day 800 native Carbineros desert

London, June 20.—It is announced
that Great Britain will not hold her
usual annual naval maneuvers this
year, which has caused much specula
tion as to the reason for this step. In
some quarters, it is said, it is due to
lack of coal, owing to the Welsh strike
Hut in other quarters it is believed
that imnortant events are in siirht.
The officials of the liritish admirality
decline to give their reasons for aban
doning the maneuvers, hut they say it
is not i**cau»e of laek of coal, as ample
supplies of fuel were secured previous

CAUSE OF THE DELAY.
Railroad Ofllelala Hay It Him the Oroai I
Inrompeteory of Army Unmrtermaatrr*.
Chicago, June 20.—A prominent
railroal official who returned from
Tampa to-day said: The delays attend
ing the transportation of troops from
Tampa were caused by the lack of
ability on the part of army quarter
masters, who seemed to be utterly
unable to properlly discharge their
duties. Many carloads of provisions
for the troops were not handled
promptly and their contents, in conse
quence, spoiled, and had to be thrown
into the sea. The magnificent military
system of the United States is defect
ive in the quartermaster's department.
There is apparently a lack of quarter
masters who have a thorough knowl
edge of up-to-date rail as wall as ship
transportation. It seems that the
remedy for it is to give instructions at
West l’olnt in transportation, so that
nnny officers can supervise the work of
this most important department and
see that it is properly done.

Wahiiihotos, June 20.—Dewey's re
port, taken in connection with the
press reports, would seem to Indicate
that Manila probably lias fallen by
this time. One phrase used by the Ad
miral, that "they do not intend to take
the city at the present time,” war
rants the belief that ho has reached a
perfect undcrstAnding with the in
surgent leader, and that the town is
not to be attacked until his pwn
troops arrive. For some reason it is
extremely desirable that such should
lie the case and that Dewey should re
ceive the surrender of the town in per
son, rather than forc« the Spaniards
to surrender to the insurgents and
thereby afford a possible pretext for
the interference of some of the Euro
pean powers, whoso ships are gather
ing in suspiciously large numbers in
