LULLABY.
Oh. hush thee! my bonnie, my baby!
The wtnil sings a soft lullaby,
And the little stars peep
To see It you sleep,
Stealing out one by one, in the sky.
The daisies have put on their night caps,
And nodding is each dainty head,
While I'm sure if you look,
You will see In yon nook
Wee panales asleep in their bed.
Bir Cricket is tuning his fiddle.
While Katy-did strums his guitar.
And soon we shall hear
Their duet loud and clear.
Serenading the evening star.
The twilight comes stealing so gently
T« softtn the moon's silver light,
And listen! I heard
A dear little bird
Twitter softly a sleepy "good night."
The fireflies are lighting their lanterns
To show little children the way
To the slumber land, oh!
Where gay popples grow.
And dream-fairies frolic at play.
Then hushaby, bonnie, my dearie.
And list to the wind's lullaby.
While the little stars peep
To see if you sleep,
And the lady moon watches on high.

CHAPTER X.—CONTINUED.
The reader may be inclined to ask
If it is not curious that success so
often attended my little stratagems for
the spoiling of the conspirators' plans,
ut. I can assure him that it is sur
prisingly easy to fool a knave. No one
is so capable of being tricked as your
trickster, fur he is so accustomed to
suspecting everybody that he has long
ago lost the God-given instinct which
warns an honest man when to be 0.1
bis guard. I would rather any day
set my wits against a knave's than
against an honest man's. Your knave
s so busy in fooling you that he lias
eyes only lor his own plans; whereas
the honest man's eyes are upon you
all the time, and you get no chance to
spy out the weak places in his armor.
All the same, I fully realized that it
■was more than possible I might find
no opportunity of effecting the change
of balls —my sand and sawdust-stuffed
plaything for Number Two's deadly
bomb—in which case I had made up
my mind to inform the police of the
devilry which was hatching, and to
have the villainous thing removed
without an hour's delay.
But, being by no means desirous of
making a police commissioner my
father confessor, I was determined to
do my best to frustrate unaided the
proposed assassination; and so long
as one can keep one's nerve and one's
presence of mind, It is surprisingly
easy, as I have said, to induce a rogue
to tumble into the trap which one
has laid for him.
The sound of my three raps had
scarcely died away before the door
•was opened by Number Two, who
looked at my expanse of shirt-front
and carefully tied white bow with an
unconcealed sneer.
"That's a nice costume to come
through these crowded streets in,"he
said. "Been dining with your relative,
the king of Ireland? You Irishmen
are all related to kings, aren't you?"
"No," I replied, wondering how he
had discovered my nationality, for,
having been educated in England, I
haven't the least suspicion of a brogue;
""it was one of your royal relatives—
the king of Darkness. He sent his re
membrances, and hopes soon to see
you settled for good in his establish
ment."
He laughed, and when the door was
closed said: "That's not half so press
ing an invitation as you and I are go
ing to send to the royal family of En
gland. Come along up on the roof,
and let's get to business."
Up on the roof we went accordingly,
and I looked upon the parapet and saw
below me, in the garish glare of the
illuminations, the vast and packed mul
titudes, that, with elbows and shoul
ders at work wedged their way along,
grinning, gaping, singing, and cheering
good-naturedly, in spite of their per
spiring bodies and dust-choked throats.
Then I lifted my head and looked up
to Ihe vasier and voiceless multitude
of stars above, and as I did so the
whole scene seemed to me like part of
some strange dream-drama.
"Now, my friend, we must be very
careful," said Number Two, "for if by
any chance you stumbled and kicked
against this tiling, or I should let it.
drop, there wouldn't be enough of
either of us lelt for our own mothers
to identify us by at the inquest."
As he spoke he put down the bag
which he had been carrying, and open
ing it carefully, took out with both
hands the red celluloid ball which he
had exhibited to us in the wagon.
'"J he end of the wire rope support
ing the festoons is fastened to the Ve
netian masts —not to the house, after
sill, he said. "But I watched my time
a couple of nights ago when no one
was passing, and tossed a ball of stout
black thread—the end of which I se
cured here—over the middle of that
farther festoon. Then I went out in
to the road and tossed the ball round
and round the festoons several times,
till it was firmly caught in the deco
rations. and then I chucked the ball
up on'this roof again. It took me a
long time to arrange it, for people
were constantly passing, but by waich-
Ing my opportunity I managed the
business all right. So now we have a
line direct from here to the center of
the festoon, so that 1 can cut the threa.l
and let. the bomb down when the oid
lady passes without disturbing the
rest of the decorations.
"The end of the thread is tied to
that rail. Will you go and untie it.and
hold the thread ready for me to string
on? But don't let go when you have
it undone, or everything will be spoilt.
There will be people passing in the
street the whole of to-night, and 1
should get no chance of fixing up an
other line."
For an instant 1 hesitated. Should I
untie the thread and let the cord, slip
from my hand, as if by accident, and
so balk him of his murderous pur
pose? Another moment's thought,
however, convinced me that so clumsy
and transparent an artifice was not ad
visable. It would, in the first place,
arouse Number Two's suspicions, and
might not, after all, avert the catas
trophe 1 feared; for he was a man of
resource, who would not be at a loss to
devise some other method for carrying
out his devilry.
So, under the pretense of trying to
undo the fastening, I pulled it into an
inextricable knot, at which I fumbled
so long that, as I had hoped, Number
Two lost patience.
"Confound it all!" he growled. "if
I had thought you were so clumsy a
fool, I'd have had that other man to
help me, after all. Here, come out of
the way and let me do it! The thing's
easy enough, if you only go about it
the right way."
This was the sequel which I had been
leading up to and hoping for, so I
stepped back accordingly, and took my
place.
As 1 had intended, he found the task
a teaser. "You have made a mess of it
and no mistake!" he snarled between
his set teeth, as he bent over the
tangle in a vain attempt to loosen the
knot, at which I had tugged to such
good purpose.
No sooner was his back turned than
I took the sand and sawdust-stuffed
ball out of the pocket that was hidden
in my cape, and placing il noiselessly
011 the ground, transferred the bomb
to my pocket.
"Have you got a knife?" inquired
Number Two a few seconds after I had
effected the exchange.
"Yes," I said. "Do you want it?"
"Yes. Open it and cut the string
just above my hand wltile I hold onto
it« That's right. Now bring that ball
—Carefully, for God's sake! and we'll
string her on. Hold hard. Don't let
go until I tell you. That's all right.
There it goes—sliding down the string
like a good 'un. You see, it's stopped
just over the center of the road, ready
to drop in and make a morning call
011 her majesty when she's passing.
Now I'll fasten the thread to tHe rail
again. Then all will be in order for
to-morrow, and you can go back and
pay another visit to your royal rela
tives."
CHAPTER XI.
IIOW A GREAT NATIONAL CATAS
TROPHE WAS AVERTED ON JUBI
LEE LAY.
Being desirous of seeing the play out,
I had secured —at a reasonable enough
price—a front seat in the top window
of the house exactly opposite to that
from the roof of which Number Two
hoped, with one snip of his "abhorred
shears," to "slit the thin-spun life" of
the royal family of England.
The morning of the jubilee saw mo
take my place—not this time in my
councillor's disguise—in my allotted
seat, whence I watched with no little
curiosity for the fim.l act in what was
meant to be a tragedy, but which I
had been the means of transforming
into a farce.
Number Two was not astir as early
as I was, and did not putin an appear
ance on the roof until the tail of the
great procession was in sight. Mean
while 1 sat looking down on the stal
wart fellows who went swinging along
at quick march on foot, or upon the
stately pacing and prancing of the cav
alry that passed, clattering and jing
ling, in pursuing lines.
My enjoyment of the pageant was,
however, considerably marred by the
constant growling of a man sitting
near me, whose natural moroseness of
disposition was accentuated by the fact
that he was dissatisfied with his seat.
"Who wants to see a lot of court
flunkeys riding in double rows or driv
ing in carriages?" he grumbled.
"'I hat's what most of 'em are, you
know. It's bad enough for the nation
to 'ave to pay for their keep—royal
keep too —and pay 'em big salaries for
doing nothing, without our 'aving 'em
stuck up on a 'orse or in a fine carriage
for us to 'ave to pay to see 'em go by.
II you and me were dressed up in those
fine uniforms and 'a<l 'orses found for
us to ride on, we'd look just as fine
men as they. Isn't that so, mister?"
"Oh, yes," I said, "it is quite possi
ble."
"There you are, then. And who are
they, after all? That's what I want to
know."
"Who, indeed?" I made answer.
"Now if they'd ask me," lie went on,
though he had rather expected
they would have done so, and felt ag
grieved by the oversight, "if they'd
'ave asked me, I'd 'ave said, What you
want is all the great people in the
queen's rc-ign—them as is living, of
course. They 'ave got Roberts and
Wolseley, and quite right too, but
where's Gladstone, and Roseberry, and
Dr. Parker, and W. G. ? There's the
president of the Royal academy and all
the big doctors? Ain't they done a
precious sight more good than all your
flunkeys and princes? Princes! We've
got too many of 'em as it is. There's
'Enry Irving, and Wilson Barrett, and
'All Caine, and Marie Corelli, and
George R. Sims, and Penley and Stan
ley? They ain't 'ere—leastwise, not
in the show. I tell you if they'd asked
me" —with another splutter of resent
ment —"I could 'ave told 'em who to
put in."
CAMKRON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1904
"Yes, there's a great deal In what
you say." > said, thinking it wiser to
agree with him than to add fuel to the
tire of his grievance by a dispute.
"All the si>nie," putin a man of con
ciliatory countenance who sat behind
me, "all the same, you can't deny that
it's an imposing sight."
"It's imposing enough as a 'ole,"
admitted the iconoclast, "but if you
look at it separa t e-like, it's only a lot
of 'uman beings like you and me
dressed up in uniforms and riding by
OD 'orses. But, 'I;WO! Why, I'll he
jiggered if there ain" FVeddy 'Opkins
—'im as married my cousin—a-riding
by in the Lancers! That's 'im on tho
white 'orse with the black mustache.
Fred—O! Fred 'Opkins! How are
you, Freddy? See, 'e's a-looklng this
way. What yer Fred! How goes it,
sonny? See 'im nod? He looked up
and nodded, 'e did. Now 'e is what 1
call a fine-looking chap. Fancy 'is
being 'ere too! Well, I'm jiggered! I
must tell 'em at 'ome as 1 see Fred
'Opkins in the percession, and that 'e
looked up and nodded—not a bit proud -
J ike."
Just at this moment the sound of dis
tant cheering from the west increased
perceptibly in volume. It was no
longer mere cheering, but the almost
frenzied shout of a multitude swayed
by some great emotion. It was can
tagious. It seemed to run along the
lines like kindling fire. It grew nearer
—hoarser —louder —till it was almost
upon us. Leaning forward with out
stretched head, I looked westward
along the Strand. The great street, it
self seemed palpitating with excite
ment. The houses seemed to resemble
avenues of trees, every leaf of which
was a human being, all quivering—like
the leaves of a forest in a storm —un-
der some supreme agitation.
And then, amid a whirling of waving
hands and fluttering handkerchiefs, a
string of carriages swept by. No one
stayed to notice the mechanical, al
most automatic, backward and forward
swaying of the royal princesses.
Even the prince, the ever-popular
prince, was deemed scarce worthy a
glance by the eager, hungry eyes that
sought only the one central figure of
that little lcnely old woman who sat
there, queenly of mien, and none the
less queenly because on that sadly
smiling face, so schooled to royal self
possession, the loot; of trembling won
derment —almost of fear—told how
deeply moved was the widowed wo
man heart.
"Queen! Queen! God bless her!
God save her!" burst from many thou
sand throats. With tho cries ringing
in my ears I switched my eyes tip ward
—not without an effort—and looking
across at Number Two, I saw that he
was in the act of cutting the thread.
Something fell, harmless and unseen,
or. at all events, unnoticed, amid the
uproar and excitement. Once more I
turned my eyes upon the street and
leaned out of the window with craned
head. I caught a peep of a parasol, had
a glimpse of the patient and beautiful,
but coldly impassive and wearied, face
of the Princess of Wales, and then the
cavalry closed in behind the carriages,
and the great pageant was already a
thing of the past.
I drew in my head once more and
glanced across at Number Two, who
was staring blankly, even stupidly, at
the spot where the ineffectual ball had
fallen.
Suddenly the fact that someone was
looking at him —that at that moment,
when every other head but his own was
turned eastward for a last glimpse of
the queen, one person's eyes were fixed
itpon him —seemed in some way to
make itself known to his conscious
ness. His own eyes swept the opposite
house like a searchlight, and in another
moment I saw that they were fixed
upon mine. As I felt their fire con
centrating, so to speak, upon me, some
instinct prompted me to make myself
look as little like myself as possible.
In the hope of masking my real per
sonality and of preventing him from
identifying me, I raised my shoulders
almost to my ears and dropped my
jaw, so as to give new character, or
want of character, to my mouth. Then
I drew back from his sight into the
crowd.
"Did he recognize me?" I said to
myself. "God knows, I don't. But
whether he did or not, I have at least
the satisfaction of knowing that I have
been instrumental in avoiding a great
catastrophe, and in preventing this day
of national rejoicing from being turned
into a day of national mourning."
CHAPTER XII.
EXIT COUNCILLOR NUKEER FIVE.
The next meeting of the council was
arranged to take place, as the reader
will remember, in a disused shed that
—
IT WAS NOT A CHEERFUL SPOT,
stood on the brickfields near the ceme
tery at Tarborough. There we were
to assemble at midnight, and thither
I accordingly betook myself at the ap
pointed hour.
It was not a cheerful spot. Though
fairly roomy, the building was a mere
ohed. For what use it had orig
inally been intended I cannot say.
There was neither fireplace nor win
dow. It consisted merely of four wood
en walls, a roof and a clay floor. A
grave could not have been barer, for
from floor to ceiling there wasn't so
much as a nail on which to hang one's
hat. Someone had improvised a can
dlestick by jabbing the sharp point of
a big pocket-knife into the wall. The
knife had a flat double-edge blade,
upon which there stood a guttering
candle-end, which was our only light.
As soon as the circle was complete,
Number Two, who was the last to ar
rive, took up his place by the candle;
perhaps that he might better see the
faces of his comrades, perhaps because
he fancied that nearness, even to this
miserable emblem, constituted tho
place of precedence in the assembly,
"Fellow-councillors," he said, "I am
here as promised to report progress,
but I regret to say, as you must already
have assumed, that there is no progress
to report. Our glorious jubilee scheme
lias failed, not for want of care on my
part, but because there has been a
traitor in our midst. The more I
think of it, the more irresistibly am
I forced to that conclusion. Gentle
men, how did our late chief, Number
One, meet his death? We took it.for
granted—and I admit that. 1 took it for
granted—that the irreparable loss
which the society sustained by his re
moval was the result of an accident.
But does it not strike some of you as
strange that, ever since that lamenta
ble accident, things have gone wrong
with us, and that some power seems
to have been at work whose object ap
parently is to pull the linch-pin out. of
our most carefully planned projects?
What about tho unaccountable occur
rence in connection with the punish
ment which we proposed to mete out.
to Lord G'ranthorpe? Was that the re
sult of another accident, or was it the
deliberate foiling of our schemes by
some one that knows our secrets? And
now what about the jubilee fiasco? I
pledge you my word, brother council
lors, that the project was carried out
exactly as I had planned it. The cel
luloid ball, containing an explosive so
deadly and so sure that, a smart rap
with the finger end would have sufficed
to explode it, was hung, as I promised
you it should be hung, exactly over the
spot where the queen was to pass.
And as she went by, I, with my own
hand, cut the thread and saw the ball
fall to the ground, scarcely a yard be
hind her carriage. What was there-
Milt? A miserable failure! But why?
Because the ball had been tampered
with. Because we have been fooled.
Instead of coming here to-night flushed
with success and proud to receive your
congratulations, I am here feeling like
and looking like a fool. And only be
cause of treachery, black, hell-damned
treachery!"
He stopped speechless with passion,
and glared around the assembly like a
madman. As for myself, the very
heart of me went down into my boots.
No doubt his next words would be to
denounce me. If, as he said, and said
rightly, lie had been fooled, and the
hall had been tampered with, by whom
could it have been done but by the
councillor who had volunteered to as
sist him —myself, the so-called and sup
posed Number Seven?

Archibald Little, the English novel
ist and secretary of the Tientsu Wui,
or Anti-Foot-Binding society, of Phil
adelphia, gives a lively account of the
return of the Chinese court to Pekin.
Of the dowager empress we read that
she is of"the type so well known in
every land where society exists. Were
she an English mother she would, one
feels at once, marry all her daughters
to eldest sons, irrespective of whether
they were lunatics or confirmed dip
somaniacs." The emperor is of an
other disposition. At a party he re
peatedly kissed a little American girl
of seven years. How had the very
idea of such a thing ever been suggest
ed to him? No Chinese man through
out the whole length and breadth of the
vast Chinese empire ever kisses his
wife or child, unless he has been
taught to do so by a foreigner. No
Chinese mother ever kisses her child.
The nearest she gets to it is lifting her
child's face to hers and, as it were,
smelling of it. Yet here was the em
peror of China evidently versed in the
practice, so that directly he saw this
loreign little girl he took her up and
kissed her, as if it. were the most
natural thing in the world, while to the
every-day Chinaman this would be a
most unnatural, and, indeed, repulsive
process. Of course, this little girl who
received the imperial kiss was an
American.
No Vacancy.
The German idea that the place for
women is in the house and not in the
church, led recently to a curious com
plication. In a small town in Pennsyl
vania there is a female preacher. One
afternoon she was preparing her ser
mon for the following Sunday when
she heard a timid knock at the parrton
age door. She answered it herself ;..nj
found a bashful young German stand
ing on the step. He was a stranger,
but the minister greeted him pleasant
ly and asked him what he wished.

"Yess? Veil, I vaiit to kit marriet."
"All right: I can marry you."
The German jammed his hat on his
head, turned and hurried down the
walk.
"What is the matter?" called the
PHrsouess after him.
"You kits no chance mit me!" he
called back. "I don't vant you; I haf
