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

answered. ‘ If your man'll give me a
hand we'lt lift her In, In a minute."
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

Ixrrd Aylmer inquired, In a tone which

a time and oft.
"Yes. It would quin her down a

answered.
"Very well. Make me liable for any

said, as be moved toward the door.
"Can I see you Into a rail, m,v dear

"And ui«> I hsve the honor of set

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.”

could best tell her the truth.
"The fact Is,” he said, blurting the
truth out at last, "there has been an

It was expected at the navy depart

la-gin work again at mam to-day upon
the fortification* at the entrance of
Santiago harbor, though It cannot bo
learned that explicit notice of such 11
purpose lias been received. 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

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.

cable service or from the distance at
which Sampson lies from tho cable

CENSORED BLANCO’S REPORT,
Madrid {.earned of CorverV* DUnttor lijr
IVnnU«lon of Merrrtar.7 Al;cr.
Wasiiisoto!*. July 10.—Captain Gen
eral Hlanco hail to appeal to the Amer
ican secretary of War for permission to
communicate Admiral t'ervera's rejiort
of the destruction of his squadron to
the government ut Madrid.
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. Saw
yer, the censor, referred the Inquiry to
General Grcely. chief signal officer,
who consulted the secretary of war. it
was decided that it would lie a good
tiling to let (lie Spanish admiral's tele
gram to reach Madrid, and the permis
sion for it to pass was given.
No it cuino that the cablegram giving
Admiral t'ervera's official version of
Ids ow n capture and the destruction of
the ships under his command readied
ills government after passing through
two American censors and being sub
mitted to t he secretary of war.

IS IN A QUANDARY.
Spain Posin't Know IVliU Slio Wants to
I»o—Cninpi.i to Sm-casd Kaxaatn.
AIahhid. 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
