INTERNATIONAL RRZSS ASSOCIATION. CHAPTER XXV.—(Continued.) “Where to, m'lord?” “Palace Mansions." "Yes, m'lord,” murmured Charles to Barker, as they drove off, “that the old codger’s done It at last. Palace Man sions is the order—that’s where Mra. ’Arris lives, you know." “Ay,” muttered the coachman, In re ply. “And Mra. ’Arris'll catch a Tar tar In 'Im, no mistake about that.” “They generally takes care of them selves,” said Charles, with a cynicism worthy of his estimable master. Coming events, they say, cast their shadows before, and Barker, who had been giving a small share of attention to Charles and gossip, suddenly pulled In his horses with a Jerk. “ 'Oases Is Inclined to be playful today,” he re marked. “I dessay they know It is the wrong time of year to bo In town,” returned Charles, superciliously. “Likely enough. ’Osses Is as sensible tts Christians and sensibler than aom?,’’ Barker rejoined. As they got over the ground the “playfulness” cf the horses did not sub side; Indeed, on the contrary, It In creased, and to such an extent that by the time they turned Into the Ken sington High street they were racing along at express sliced, with the evi dent. intention of bolting ns soon as they had a chance. Barker, however, knew his work and did not give them the chance at all, and by the time they reached the cor ner of the road for which they were bound, they were going steadily again. Cnfortunatcly, at that point, however, that terrible maker of mischief, the unforeseen, happened—a little cbiki with a balloon aa large aa a man's bead suddenly let go the string with which she had held It captive; the balloon soared away and dashed into the near horse's face; the child screamed at the loss of her toy; the horse reared and plunged. Barker ad ministered a cut of his whip, and the next moment they were dashing down the road, and an elderly woman was lying helplessly in a dead faint just where the carriage had passed. "My God! we are over some one,” vhouted Laird Aylmer. He was the Lind of man who, on emergency, al ways appeals to the Deity, whom In all his ways of life he utterly and sys tematically ignores. “Let me get out,” he cried. Barker, who was pulling in the Loises with might and main, had al ready checked their mad speed, and a moment or so later turned the horses, with a face like chalk and a dreadful fear knocking at Ills heart that the motionless figure lying in the road would never move again. He pulled up Just where the crowd was gather ing, and Lord Aylmer was out of the carriage before Charles could collect bis scattered senses sufficiently to get off the box. The crowd was gathering in num bers every moment, and was not only <lensc and strong, but curious. I»ord Aylmer, however, without standing on ceremony, vigorously elbowed liis way to the Inner circle. "Let me pass; stand aside. Police man, I am Lord Aylmer—my horses were frightened by an Infernal balloon that a child was carrying. Is she much hurt?" "Dead faint at present, my lord," returned the policeman, who had the woman's head upon Ills knees. “I wish we could get some brandy and some water.” I»rd Aylmer looked around for Charles. “Charles, get some brandy ■end water from somewhere or other. it* quick.'' Just then a well-dressed young wo man pushed her way through the crowd. "Let nt* pass," she urged. "Can't you see I've brought brandy? Stand bark, you men. Have you never teen an accident before? Do you want to kill her? Stand back!" She was a handsome woman, scarce ly more than a girl; her hands and fare and speech betokened that she was gently born; her fearless speech put ting Into words what was in her mind, had the effect of causing the crowd to shrink hark a little, "la she much hurt?" she asked. “Pretty had case, Mias." answered the policeman, who was trying to get a II'tie hraudy down the unconscious woman's throat. "Hadn't you better get |,er Into mv h .use? She can't lie here." she went on. "Hss any one gone for a doctor?" "I should g«t her orf to the 'orapltal ai on<e Miss." the polbeniau replied. "Would you? Poor thing! I was s'andtag at my w|» *o» an I saw tt all.

Eventually the woman was lifted In to the victoria and the energetic young woman, having rushed buck to her house for her hat, got In also, and supported her in as comfortable a posi tion as was compatible with her In sensible condition. Just as they were starting, a doctor arrived on the scene, took a hasty glance at the victim of the accident, and quietly got In, tak ing possession of the little back seat. "I'd better go—It's a bad business,” he said to Lord Ayltner, realising that he was the owner of the cnrrlagc. "Yes—yes—we had better follow In a cab," Lord Aylmer said, turning to the policeman. “I suppose you'll see me through?" "Oh, yes, my lord; I'm bound to do that,” ho answered. Lord Aylmer was getting more and more nervous; he got Into the cab looking white and scared, with hla sin ful old heart thumping against his ribs In a way that was very unusual with him. Not because hla carriage has run over un elderly woman and It was likely to prove a fatal accident, not for that reason at all, hut wholly and solely because, when Charles and the policeman had lifted the uncon scious woman Into the carriage, laud Aylmer had picked up a letter which was lying face upward In the roadway Just, where she had lain. Short-sight odnesn was not one of Lord Aylmer's signs of approaching years, and in un instant he had grasped that the letter was addressed to his nephew Dick, and before Charles and the policeman had got their burden safely Into the vie toria, he had thruat the letter Into his pocket, with a sort of Impious thanks giving to Heaven that at last the girl he had been hunting down for many weeks was delivered Into his hand. Kor evidently this respectable elder ly woman, dressed In decent black was Mrs. Harris’ servant; and if It hap pened that i he did uot keep mure than one—why this accident would put her altogether at his mercy. He whs positively trembling when they reached the St. George’s Hospital, and Barbara was can led In, not un conscious notv, for the slight Jolting of the carriage had brought her to again. Then there was a short time of Im patient watting before the doctor came to them—that Is, Lord Aylmer and the young lady who had come with the patient. “Broken leg," he said—"a had thing at her time of doy. And she Is wor rying about her mistress wants to send and break it gently—isn't In good health Just now. Will you go?" turn ing to the young lady. "I? Oh, I'm so sorry, but I'm due at rehearsal now--I must go off at once. Couldn't you go?" she asked, turning to Lord Aylmer. "Certainly—with pleasure. Khali I .1 DEAD FAINT AT PRESENT, bring her hack to see the old lady?" Ixrrd Aylmer inquired, In a tone which was a delightful mixture of gallantry and fatherllneas—n tone which had.

"And ui«> I hsve the honor of set tling with the cabmen?" Oh. no tcry kind at you. but I al ways pay fur myself. The t'orualll good-by."

Oh. so you have not cut the rh&taa, I Master Dirk; you've not burnt your boats behind you. What a fool you are, to be sure!" He opened the letter without the smallest scruple, tore the envelope In to a thousand fragments and scattered them to the winds, then settled down to enjoy the tender words beginning— ‘•My own dear Dick." ending “Your loving and faithful little wife, Doro thy." "So her name Is Dorothy." he mused. “Strange that they should always lay such stress on their love and their faithfulness! They're all alike. I won der who the Esther is that she talks about. Barbara Is evidently the old girl who came to grief Just now. Well. Barbara Is safely laid by the leg for the next few weeks. Heally, It could not have fallen out better If one had planned It all. But I wonder who Es ther Is? ‘Esther hasn't come yet,’ she says, 'but may come at any moment,’ I must find out a!>out Esther.” When they got to Palace Mansions, he saw Dorothy looking anxiously out of the window. "On the watch," he said to himself, "And pretty uneasy, too." 'I lie lovely face disappeared when the carriage drew up at the door, and the ! mart footman, In his glory of crimson and white, Jumped down and opened the door for the handsome old gentle man, who got out and went Into the building. He knocked ut the door of No. 3, and Dorothy, being perfectly alone, had no choice but to go and open It. “Am I speaking to Mrs. Harris?" said the suave, wicked old voice. "Yes." answered Dorothy, wondering what he could possibly want with her. "May I come In? I am l.ord Aylmer, I have something to tell you. No, don’t be ulsrmed; It Is nothing very bad. Pray don't alarm yourself.” CHAPTER XXVf. T tb« mention of his name and as the policeman and the doctor, the young lady who had gone to Bar bara's aid, and the people at Ht.

"I beg you will not frighten yourself like ill's." he cried. "Indeed, It Is not so serious as that.” "It la—--" Her lips could not utter Dick's name, her agony was so great; hut her eyes spoke volumes in place of her longue. It never occurred to I.ord Aylmer that she waH thinking of Dick. He only thought how lovely she was In her distress, and wondered how he could best tell her the truth. "The fact Is,” he said, blurting the truth out at last, "there has been an accident, and your old servant-" “Barbara Is she hurt?” Dorothy cried in dismay. "1 am sorry to sav that she Is hurt. More sorry to be obliged to own that it was my own carriage which 'did the mischief. But won't you let me coin* In a lid tell you all about It? It is such a shame to keep you standing there." "Oh, yes, of course, i-'orgive me, but I—that is, you have startled me, and I forgot that we were still here. Come in.” (To ha continued.) QUEEN MURDERS ENGLISH.

The de part incut's knowledge is confined to) tin- fact that lids was the plan of cam- j paign arranged between Shatter and J Sampson ut their meeting three days ago. One of the most important results expected to follow Sampson's appear ance in the harbor is the cutting oif of tin- retreat of the Spanish forces to the interior of Cuba. Our troops now control the approaches to the town from the south to the noitheast ami • an eusily close the semicircle to the north, in the rear, to the west, how ever, there are high and rugged hills, across which the Spaniards might retreat toward Msii/.aiiillo. If Samp son's vessels enter the harbor and ap proach the town closely it is believed that their guns will close the line of retreat over these hills so effectively I that were the Spaniard* to attempt j the passage they would go to certain ) destruction. The Navy department is having great difficulty in communicating by wire with Sampson, though it is not. known whether this arises from bad cable service or from the distance at which Sampson lies from tho cable station.

While the Knglish cable between Santiago and Kingston lias not been cut, the operators in tin Santiago office have abandoned their posts, thus cutting off all communications be tween Santiago mid Madrid, except through the French line, which is sub ject to American censorship ut i’laya del Ksto. When Admiral Cervera wished to cable his official report of the destruction of his fleet to Captslu General Hlanco, he turned it, over to Colonel Allen, the signal officer in charge of the cable office at I’laya del Kste, who. acting under instruction-i from Washington, forwarded the re port to Havana. When Hlanco wanted to forward t'ervera's story of the affair to the home government ut Madrid, lie had only one line open to him, that from Havana to Key West To use this lie would have to have the permission of the ealde censor at tile Key West of liee. it probably will never l>c known how much pride it cost him to get this permission. He instructed the cable operator in Havana to asli till* Amer ican censor at Key West if tiio admi ral's message would be permitted to pass over the wlie. Captain .1. K.

July S—Tho authorities kept the disaster to Admiral Cervoin's squadron a secret os long as possible and even suppressed the extra editions of the newspapers giving tho facts. Tho official confirmation caused tre mendous excitement, particularly in naval and military circles, where tho government is accused of ordering Ad miral Cervcra l make a sortie, despite the known opposition of scvoral naval experts. The cabinet met last night and its resignation may be regardal as threatened. The sequel will probably be a mil itary cabinet under Marshal Martinos < a in pus. There will also bo, most likely, a suspension of the constitutional guar antees. Tho military party favors a continu ance of tlie war. Military men aay they think Spain could never have ex pected naval victory, aud that so lotig as she docs not meet with disaster ashore she ought not to eue for peace. Tho I'arlists are anxious for tho war to continue. The government views are believed to differ. Seuor Sagasta, the premier, says lie is awaiting details of recent events from official .Spanish sources, adding that lie will see the effect which tin- loss of tho Spanish squadron he.s upon Spain before deciding upon ilia course.
