Dealing with (kptured
Revolutionist Leadens.
i 1
At the prchcnt time, ns Emlllo Agul
naldo 1b likely to discover, there la
nothing pattlcularly dangerous nbout
playing the pnrt of a revolutionist. A
y hundred years ago it was different.
Then a man or woman who revolted
against established authority was fair
ly certain to have his or her head cut
off, and was llkoly to have other un
pleasant things happen. Now, bo long
at least as one is careMl to rebel
against a civilized and enlightened
power, a captured leader Is likely to
bo furnished with a handsome resi
dence on some salubrious and beauti
ful Island, paid a liberal allowance by
the government against which he has
rebelled, and. asked to live a quiet and
healthful life, with nothing to worry
about.
M In all the law books the old defini
tion of a rebel and the punishment for
rebellion remain, but, though the "high
treason" be proved the death penalty
is rarely enforced.
A good example of tho way In which
rebels wero treated only a century ago
la found In tho story of Toussalnt 1'
Overture, the famous negro slave, sol
dier, and statesman, who founded the
black republic of Santo Domingo. In
1703, when the English Invaded the is
land. Toussalnt, who was already a
trusted military louder among the
blacks, declared In favor of France and
ook the oath of allegiance to the
French republic. He took the field
against the English and drove both
them and the Spaniards off tho Island.
Then he was made commander-in-chief
of the military forces of the Island. In
1801 Toussalnt assumed control of the
government. A constitution was
drawn up making him president for
life. When this constitution was sent
to Napoleon he broke out Into a fury
and sent an army of 30.000 men, under
General Leclerc, with a fleet of more
than Hlxty war vessels, to subdue tho
black usurper. But Toussalnt was an
able soldier, and the climate fought
ith him. Within a few months 20,000
of the French soldiers perished of yel
low fever, and the negro soldiers and
slaves, rising In a genernl rebellion,
put GO.000 white people to death. Fi
nally pence was restored, and Tous
salnt was treacherously seized and im
prisoned. Then he was transported to
France and confined In a cold and
dismal dungeon, where he suffered
from lack of food and sickness, dying
at tho end of ten months' imprison
ment of consumption and starvation.
Another moro modern rebel Is Arabl
Pasha, the Egyptian, who defied for a
tmc the united power of England and
France. In 18S1 Arabl Pasha, at the
head of the Egyptian army, became
practically the military dictator of

The uews came recently from Hono
lulu that ono Isaac Newton Hayden
hafi died tbero nnd left $20,000,000 nnd
thnt heirs wero wanted for the estate,
Haydens being so scarce In Honolulu
that I hero was danger the estate would
be left unclaimed. Rather than have
V, calamity occur fecvernl publlc-Bplr-tit'd
claim agents In this country hava
been vlboiously promoting a Hayden
boom. Haydens by blood and Haydens
by marriage have been asked to fur
nish their pedigrees to the promoters,
not forgetting a bonus to reimburse tho
lattor for espouses. The scheme was
Egypt, and In 1S82 both Urltlsh and
French warships wore sent to Alex
andria to overawe and dofeat the rob
els, and to make a prisoner of Arabl
as their chief. For many weeks Arabl
was able to hold off the enemy, but
finally ho was overtaken and his forces
cut to pieces at Tol-EI-Keblr. Arabl
wna captured by the British troops
and placed on tilal on a charge of high
treason, He pleaded guilty, and wna
sentenced, with tho mombers of his
staff, to banishment to tho Island of
Ceylon. There he hus lived ever since,
a welcome guest at tho houses of Brit
ish authorities on the Island, and the
recipient of a largo allowance from the
British coverpracnt. When Arabl gavo
up his sword and went luto exile ho
was only 42 years old and was In ap
pearance the typical leader of a savage
and fanatical people. Now that he la
past 60 his expression has softened,
and he has become a venerable and
gentle old man. Practically every mem
ber of his staff who went Into exile
with him Is dead, and his last wish
Is to go homo to Egypt and die In tho
land of hla fathers.
The United States has had to deal
with a number of rebels. One of tho
flrHt was Daniel Shays, tho leader of
a rebellious forco of Massachusetts
men, who objected to tho collection of
the lnrgc taxes after the close of the
revolutionary war. Shays organized a
force of 2.000 men, marched on and
captured tho town of Worcester, and
finally demanded the surrender of tho
United States arsenal nt Springfield.
The United States ofllcer In command
fired a number of cannon over tho
heads of Shay's army, which broke
and ran. Shays and a number of lead
ers wore arrested and tried on charges
of high treason. Severnl of them wero
convicted and sentenced to death, but
these sentences were never executed.
Finally a free pardon was granted to
all who had taken part In the rebel
lion. A little bit later the so-called whisky
Insurrections broke out in Pennsyl
vania. These disturbances were of so
much Importance that President Wash
ington ordcied out 13,000 troops nnd
sent commissioners over tho moun
tains to deal with the rebels. There
was somo bloodshed and many cases
of violence shown against the officers
who were sent by tho national govern
ment to colloct tho tax on whisky and
other alcoholic products. No arrests
wore made, however, and tho rebels
wero not punished In any way.
Often, as history, shows, n robel is
snfer and enjoys a much longer lease
of life when he 1b cnpturo-1 by a hit-'

of Isaac Newton's fortune, and bonuses

news camo from Honolulu thnt Instead
of $20,000,000 Isaac Newton's fortune
amounted to just $40.
In tho face of such a shrlnkago as
this the bubblo burst, and the Hay
dons are no longer interested In the
matter. So far ns tho claim agents
are concerned, they will get no sym
pathy. Their business is that of prof
iting by popular greed and credulity.
Henco It Is a matter for congratula
tion when one of their schemes col
rear of violence. As example, Danton
may bo cited. Born a farmer, ho wen!
to Paris and became a barrister. Hi
was master of n sort of rough eloquence
which proved effectivo, and ho grow
dally In power nnd popularity. In per
soual appenranco ho was a giant. FN
nnlly ho became mlnlstor of Justlco un
der the revolution and then president
of the terrlblo committee of publla
nnfety. Then he aroused the enmity
of Robespierre and was sent to tho
guillotine In April, 1794. A few months
Inter Robesplerro met the same fate.
Both of them might have Uvod on for
years in comfortablo retirement if
their rebellion had been put down and
they had been sent Into exile by a gon
eroua king.
But the most unhappy, as well as
the most beautiful, rebel In history was
Lady Jnne Grey. She was not a rebel
of her own will and choice.
She had no thought for reigning
ns Queen of England until the plan
was brought to her by her ambitious
fathor-ln-law. Then sho consoutcd,
and when, after holding tho tttlo of
Queon Jano for nlno days, sho was sent
to the towor sho was ready to plead
guilty to tho crime of treason. Sho
was young, beautiful, and tho most
learned woman of hor times, but alio
was executed on the chnrgo of which
she had admitted her guilt.
Not so was Queen llanavalona III,
of Madagascar treated when u few
years ago tho French, who had claimed
Madagascar for a good part of two
centurlos, decided to tako hor Into
exile. She and her two uncles woro
detected In a plot to overthrow tho
French authority. Tho men wero tried
and executed, but tho Queen herself
was captured in her pnlaco, where sho
lived almost like n horinlt, and taken
first tn a llttlo Island in tho oooan.
Thoro the spirit of rovolt followed her,
so that the French finally decided to
transport hor to Algorla, where sho
would bo too far from homo to head
a rebellion. Accordingly, sho has boon
given a flno villa, a staff of servants,
and an allowanco of $5,000 a year by
tho government, and it Is Bald that
she has a much better tlmo than when
sho was locked up all tho time In
her paluco at homo, with no amuse
ment except to fly paper kites out of
the window. Now she hns developed
a great tasto for French millinery, as
well as a lilting for clgarots, chewing
tobacco, and Jowolry. In the lino of
Jewels, It is said that her collection
Is valued at $2,000,000.
The proposition to send Agulnaldo

CHAPTER V. (Continued.)
"I don't suppose you have," paid tho
scapegoat, very submissively, being so
far "down on his luck" Just now as to
render him iMtlont toward any Indig
nity, even when admlnlstoied by a
younger sister. So he took his scold
ing with meekness, and made no open
flhow of resistance or disapproval,
though In his Inmost soul he resented
tho treatment hotly: only ho turned
away from Mnbol. nnd nddressed him
self once more to his first confessor.
"Why don't you abuse me, Mildred?"
ho said. "Am I beyond even your cen
sure, that you refuse to say anything
harsh to mu? Have you given mo up
altogether? If you have, 1 know It Is
only what 1 deserve." ,
Miss Trevanlon moved abruptly
awny from tho side of tho oaken win
dow frame, against which she had
beon leaning, and wont up to where ho
was stnndlng, rnthor apart. Sho laid
her hand upon his shoulder.
"Poor old fellow!" sli said, softly;
whereupon Eddlo Trovnnlon, in splto
of his twenty years, fairly broko down,
nnd burled his face on his arms, and
burst out crlng.
This was too much even for "the
queen's" stoicism; she repented hor
righteous anger Immediately, nnd, put
ting her arms around his neck, pro
ceeded to press her lips lovingly to tho
only portion of his ear nt all visible,
while Mildred, with tears In her soft,
blue eyes, told 111 in to cheer up nnd
hnve courage, and "maybe they'd man
age It somehow, you know," with a
good deal moro to tho snmo purpose.
As tho girls hung round him In this
fashion, and patted tho sinning Eddie,
until a looker-on would havo deemed
him a suffering nngcl nt least, Denzll
Youngo sauntered upstulrs In his mud
stained, scarlet coat. Entering the
picture gnl.lcry on his wny toward his
dressing room, and not seeing very
cloarly, In consequence of tho fast
approaching darkness, he camo upon
the tableau at the end of tho apart
ment almost before he had tlmo to col
lect hlB senses.
The threo figures looked gray nnd
ghost-like to his bewildered eyes, but
one thing was distinctly evident, and
that wns Eddie Trevanlon's unmlstak
ablo distress.
"I beg your pardon," Denzll Bald
hastily. "I'm nwfully sorry, Miss Tro
vanlon, to have Intruded In this rough
manner, but unfortunately I did not
perceive you until I was quite close
However, as I havo committed my
blunder, can I may I try to bo of
some assistance?"
Mabel looked up eagerly. Hero was
a golden opportunity. Hero wns a rich
young man with nothing on earth to
do with his money, and unquestion
ably good-natured!
"Could ho bo of somo assistance?"
Of course ho could tho greatest If
Mildred would only look up and an
swer him. Mildred did look up nnd
answeredhlm answered him vory dis
tinctly Indeed, though scarcely In tho
spirit that Mabel had hoped for, hav
ing Intercepted "the queen's" glnnco
and Interpreted It correctly.
"You aro very kind," nhe said, stond
ly "very kind Indeed; but this Is a
matter In which, I fear, you can bo of
no help to us."
"Let mo try," ho Implored, eagerly.
"Impossible," she returned, coldly;
"you do not understand; It Is a case In
which no stranger can tako part.
Thanks very much all tho same.'
When Miss Trevanlon said that, of
course there was nothing left for tho
young man to do but to bow and go
on his way, which he accordingly did,
with a blttorly hurt feeling In his
breast, engendered by that ono word
"strangor."
"What n stress she laid on It! How
obnoxiously It hnd sounded ns applied
by her to him. How coldly distinct had
been her voice when speaking it!
Well, it wasn't her fault, he supposed,
sho was gifted with neither henrt nor
gracious mannor, nor anything else
tender and womanly only with a glo
rious faco and figure, which of course
did no good to any one nnd only mado
ono Whoro tho deuce had Connor
put his brushes? That fellow was
growing more confoundedly caroless
every day; and how abominably that
brute of a hoi so ho had given ono hun
dred and fifty pounds for last week,
had taken that Inst water Jump this
morning, Just when the entire field
was looking on, too! On tho whole, It
hadn't beon so very pleasant a day, as
he had fancied in tho first heat of the
moment, when it wns all over and ho
was discussing It during tho homeward
ride with old Appleby. Hanged old
nuisance that old Appleby was, by tho
byo!" And so on and on indefinitely
sped Denzll's reflections, while tho
causa of them all stood still In tho
gallery whoro ho had left hor, with
hor kind little white hand on Eddie's
shoulder.
"Hadn't you better go and get your
self ready for dinner, dear?" Mildred
suggested, tenderly.
And then Eddlo told her thnt It was
of llttlo use for him to go and clotho
himself in broadcloth and fine linen
when he know that tho first bit ho ate
would Infallibly choke him.
This seemed dreadful to Miss Tre
vanlon. He must bo far gone, indocd,

him on the subject of that presupposed
strangulation, when Mabel broke In
suddenly.
"Mildred," she said. "I hnve nn
Idea." And Mildred appearing buHIcI
ently struck with tho novelty of this
announcement, Mnbel wont on: "I
hnve n plan to say nothing further
either of you nbout this matter to any
one until tomorrow evening, nnd loavo
everythng In tho tnenntlmo to me."
"Hut won't you tell us your plan,
whatever It Is?" Miss Trevanlon nak
ed anxiously, rather taken aback by
this unexpected prospect of rcscuo
from their slough of despond. "I think
It will bo wiser of you to let us hear
It." , Upon which "the queen" snld:
"No, 1 won't' very emphatically', In

With colors (lying.
CHAPTER VI.
At cloven o'clock tho next morning
Mabel Trevanlon said to Wllmot, tho
footmnu:
"Toll Jenkins to bring my horso
round."
And Wllmot tho footman, hnvlng
scrupulously and on tho Instant deliv
ered that messngo to Jenkins tho
groom, It so happened that ten min
utes Inter "tho queen" of King's Ab
bott was riding away on the high road
to Blount Grange, with her sister's
llttlo uondcsctlpt, black-coated dog at
her heels.
When nt length she had reached the
wlshed-for maflslvn Iron gates, and hnd
traveled all down tho long lino of
stately elms that In tho Bummer tlmo
proved tho glory and comfort of tho
Grunge avenue, and had evoked n ser
vant in answer to her Impatient sum
mons, sho asked, eagerly:
"Is Mr. Blount at homo?"
Yes tho master was at homo Just
then, the man told her; whereupon
Mabel Jumped from her horse, desired
n groom,, summoned by tho butler, to
tnko her horso round to tho stables,,
and gathering up her skirts, entered
tho spacious hall, her llttlo bright
eyed follower closo behind her.
Dick Blount, or "old Dick," ns ho
wan moro commonly called by his
friends nnd acquaintances whose
uamo wns legion wns a man somo
whoro In tho "fifties," tall, strong nth
lctlc, and tho muster of an Income
close upon six or eight thousand n year.
Tho Grange was ono of tho loveliest
estates In tho county, situated about
two mllos or so from King's Abbott,
and why tho ownor of It lurtl never
taken to hlmsolf a wife wrh ii question
often asked In Clinton, but never sat
isfactorily answered. No woman's
name had ever been connected with hli
In tho matrimonial lino at least
since on his uncle's death ho had coma
to tako possession of his property. How
and where ho hnd lived previously was
llttlo known to nnyono, beyond tho
cortnlnty that ho had spent much of
his tlmo abroad, wandering In a des
ultory pleasure-seeking fashion from
city to city, with probably no ulterior
designs, except those of enjoying tho
present hour to tho uppermost.
Far and near thoro wns no man
more universally beloved and respect
ed by all classes. Young men adored
him for his genial advice, always so
gently given, and his ready assistance,
while ovory child In the neighborhood
had reason to remombcr tho good na
ture of old Dick Blount.
"Mr. Blount," said Mnbol, as tho old
gentleman advanced to meet hor, "I
want to speak to you In private, please,
for a minute or so."
"So you shall. Como In hero," said
Dick Blount, nnd he led tho wny luto
his library, the door of which he closed
carefully behind hoi. "Now what can
I do for you?"
"I urn going to ask something drend
ful," bege Mabel, after a pause, dur
ing which she had felt her courago
oozing rapidly away "something thnt
I feel sure no woman should ask,, but
you must promise not to think too
hnrdly of me for all thnt."
"I proniHle you."
"Well, then," desperately "I want
you to gtvo mo threo hundred pounds.'
Blount laughed.
"Is that all?" ho said. "Why I
thought you wero about to confess to
half a dozen murders nt least. Sit
down, Miss' Mabel, and tell me all that
Is on your mind."
And Mabel, sitting down, told him
all her trouble all about Eddie's evil
behavior, and her father's Ignorance of
it, together with his inability to pay
so much ready monoy Just then, and
her own dotorminutlon to como over
to him, as the only person she could
think of likely to help her in her ca
lamity. When she had finished she
looked up at him wistfully out of her
beautiful hazol eyes.
"I know I have done a very wrong
thing," she said, with quivering lips
"a hnteful, unfemlulne thing that will
make you desplso me forever. But
what could I do? You wero tho only
ono I could think of to help me, and
bo 4 came."
"I consider you have done mo a very
great honor," answorad old Dick,
promptly, "and I feel proud and glnd
of It. To whom Indeed should you
como, It not to your oldest friend? I'll
toll you what, Miss Mabel I'll wrlto
you out tho check now on tho spot, and
you can tako It nt onco to your naugh
ty brother with your love; and wo
will never tell any one you and I
ono word about It."
Mabel's eyes filled with tears. Sho
ntooped suddenly, and klsned the kind,
ly lnrge brown baud thai 7 Ou tho
tablo near her.
"Nonsense, child," mild Blount, hast
ily, "what did you do that for? Why,
the money Is lying Idlo at my bankers,
not doing the slightest good to any one
and t mil only too plense'd to bo nblo
to oblige you so easily."
"Thank you," returned Mnb, "thank
you again, Mr. Blount, for all your
goodness to me."
"I havo done nothing for you," pro
tested old Dick, "and I shall ho serious
ly angry, Miss Mabel, If you ovor men
tion my 'goodness' to mo ngaln."
They wero crossing tho hall at this
time, and presontly gntnod tho outer
porch, where ho put her on her horse
and gathered up tho reins for her hand.
"Well, good-by, nnd tako caro of
yourself; and bo sure you look your
very loveliest on Thursday evening."
"Good-by," Mabel cried, and rodo on
beneath the elms onco moro to tho
high road on hor way homo to King's
Abbott.
Whon Bho reached It ho found tho'
houso deserted -tho two elder ladles,
accompanied by Miss Youngo, having '
gono n distance of five miles to return
somo visits, while tho gentlomon had
been Bhootlng ohico early dawn.
"And Miss Mildred whoro la sho?" .
"Miss Trovnnlon has Just gono down
by tho copno way, toward Grant'n
farm, to neo Katu Dempsoy, whoso
'man' hns 'been in trouble,' " Jenkins,
tho footman, Informed her.
And bo thoro wns nothing left for
Mabel but to wait patiently until such
time ns any of the raombors of tho
household should tako It luto their
heads to return.
Mildred at that moment waa return
ing from Mrs. Dompsey'n dwelling
house, and Denzll Youngo was at hor
side.
Slight and tall though sho wns, oho
scarcely reached her companion's
shoulder as they walked along sldo by
side, very silently at first. Tho chill
breeze sent a bright warm glow to hor
cheeks, and played with and flung
nbout hor hnlr, until she seemed trans
figured into one of the anclont slrons,
como back onco more to break tho
hearts of men. Tho heart of tho man
besldo her was very fairly on tho way
to breaking Just at present, bo sweet
she Boomed to him, so fair paBt all ex
pression, so hopelessly beyond his pow
er to rench.
" 'And of whnt nro you thinking, Jen
ny?'" Mildred hummed gnyly, glancing up at
Denzll with laughing violet oyes.
"Of you," he answorcd simply, "and
of something else."
"Very explanatory," said Miss Tre
vanlon "only I want vory much to
know what the 'something else Is. I
hold it as my due to toll mo, because
I am your Bradshaw Just now, and you
certainly owo mo a return for my ser
vices." "If I told you, it would not interest
you in the least."
"I can qulto bellovo that few thlngi

"Of course I do; Biiroly you cannol

"I don't mean In that way how

"Removo your hat, then, nnd glvq
