Bessie's cheeks -Tew redder, as she said.
" ?°> ® ar KC, I'll row you off."
There wai no further word spoken;
the man w.ilkad down to the boat, fol

looked tound.
Besrie hade him hold bis tongue till he
got it, and nodded bun good-night, as he
scrviihled np the schooner's side.
SuHenly sad desperately the smuggler
h-'d on way. Suddenly the trumpet rang
•at
-* Usui-to, cr we shall fire.''
"fire-away ! Shouted the captain of
tly schooner. A sport of fire sprang from
tiw caitefs side, and a round shot crashed
tßfough the smuggler's jih, catling half a
doatn ropes in two. Still b held on.

bipatb—she was thinking of George Har

Bowie started up, and Hung her arms over
head, with a cry of dismay, tor the rev
enue men were lordicg the emug.der. |
The r,jV wa- filled with tinog, curses, shouts
A Sodden thought flashed into the girl's I
Meildered bram. She ran down to the
shWh poshed off her boat, and jumping in,
rowed to the scene of action, never doubt
ing she wot Id see George somehow and
bnpjf h'V off the ship. The sailors were
too busy to noticy be boatglide up; so Besric
lag too under the stern of the schooner,
watpbiug with clenched teeth, two men
strangling lor lite or death, come to the
bulwarks just over the boat; she could!
b.*r their panting breath, then the pistol
shot; clutching desperately at the slippery
wood, grasping at the last moment a loose
ret*. be swung down almost touching
the girl.
Ait first she was to busy to notice his
face; but when the bandage was tied sLe
looked at it, and saw his lips moving,
though his voice was too faint to sound
oyfr the noise of fight and roar of breaking
waves. Her ear almost touched his lips
hefpie she canght the words.
" IlWe me, hide me, and let me die in
peace!"
For a minute Bessie sat staring at the
blafck rocks and thinking, then a light
crossed her eyes ; she said to herself, "we
may's well risk it; may be there's no boats
ab&ut, and he's a handsome young chap to
be hanged, Gorge maun look alter him
6e)f 1 allow." Excitement lent extra
• strength to bc-r arim. Shooting through
the Durcle Archway, she ran the boat into
the lieach just on the quiet little nook be
hind the "Door,"where the projecting rocks
made a perfect haven, dragging the boat
up as hr as she could.
The inan was moaning now, and as she
couldn't lift him out, the only alternative
was to make him shift for himself.
"Jo'll hev to land, younsman. fallow
it's difficult; but yo' maun do it. There's
a care here y)' can lie in till the cutter s
m<*i and soldiers are out o' the way.''
♦ Fbr answer he got up, and scrambled,
w.lh many groans, out of the boat, drop
ping upon the shingle.
"Your a good lass, and if you are as
pretty as yonr vocie is sweet, I'll have the
Let* of it hiding away here."
. We'll see about that, my man. Yo'or
aft-tarred with the same Mick. The moor
a woman does for a man the mctr she'll
hev to do. The rerst sarcy wotd yo' says
to*, may faytber he comes to nus you. So
ye' best keep a civil tongue."
The natutal result of tl.ia nursing wti
that Bessie lost her heart—pity is, vre
know, near akin to love; and so it wav.
By some means or other the revenue
offlber, left to keep a lookout at Lulwortn,
began to get some inkling of the truth,
andjoneday, meeting Bessie, rather ques
tioned ber closely as to her friend. Bessie
was too sharp to tell apvthing; and the
name he went by (•• Kit' Roberta") could
give no clue tc his antecedents. That

Three day* alter Bittsie was a bride. I
The gil hardly knew bow tho6e days had
pUKtI. Site had been kept a prixmrr
in a small reont. at the top of a home in
some oack street in Dorchester.
Meantime the l*>dy of the coastguard
had lee:i found. Harry Walters' threat
was corroborated by a dozen voices, and
the old man tiui rieci off to iail. The vil
lage was in a ferment o! wonder and ex
citement, for simultaneous with the inur
der was llcs-sie Walter's elopement with
Kit Roberts.
The first new* that niet Bessie and her
husband was that of hers fathers arrest.
Who cau describe the girl s horror and
misery, the perplexity which beset and
crushed her—tin the one hand, to see
her father hung for a crane of which her
hu-bind was guiily; on the other, to de
nounce the frue murderer, aud save her
father by the tract iiiee of her husband.
There was one tlire .d of hope, the evi
dence against llarry Walteis was merely
circumstantial; tnose who had heard hiiii
swear vengeance against the eßiw were
now ready to swear he waa drunk; and
that a more forgiving, peaceable man never
lived.
Once Bessie saw her father.
'• Dcn't tret, my darling. To' know I
be innocent as an unb- rn baby," he said.
A great ami exceedingly bitter cry hurst
from Bessie's lips.
'• Doant say that. Oh ! fay thcr, ye'r kill
in' I—l mann tell yo', or my heart will
break. K ; t did it, fayther—"
The old man sprang to his feet; he had
been kneeling beside the seat she was ou.
"He did it fayther, I need him !" and
seizing the arm that, with band clenched,
hung by her, she told him the story of htr
husband's crime and misery.
When she had douche still stood, bis
bands clenched, his head drooping.
Suddenly be turned, and lilting ber up
in bis anns. beld her to bis heart as he
had done when, as a motherless child, she
had come to him for comfort iu her cadd
ish trials.
" lb-ssie. my darling, ye ar done right in
telling me. I can die happy when I
know why I die. No. my dear, you've rot
to fret; It's yo' I'm thinking for, not KJ,
God'H have to think for hitn. It's you
daring—you'll find it bttd to bold youi
tongue ; but you must. dear. I'm your
fayther, and God has given me a right to
reinmand my child. My command is
ty'o goa back to Kit, and help the Lord
to make bun a better man. 1 hadn't
many years to lire, ibsnie. it's not much
whether 1 goo this ycarcr five years later;
I allow I won't be barlly judged in the
other world fot wat I'm dpiiig tow."
Kit was sitting at the table waiting
when-she got out of bed. She went over
to him, and (Hit her arms, round him ; he
looked up in her face.
God knows what be saw there; perhaps
the shadow of her doom or his. What
ever it was, it made him lay his bead upon
the table, and sob in the very bitterness ol
a roan's despairing passion.
Bessie did not try to comfort him. She
had ber work to do. Kit sobbed on;
then, turning, he came over to bis wife,
and laid his hand on her shoulder.
"You are right, Bessie; only you are
not to do it. I'll do it myself.' Aud he
left her.
Besie ran after him—ho was gone.
Rushing back to her room, she Verm
dressing: life and death depended upon it
—ay, indeed, life and death ; (or, even as
she hurried down stain, a crowd came to
the door—a crowd with white, frightened
feces—bearing in their midst a body !
Kit had shot himself. Toe (taper he
had bee.i writing whan Bessie gave him
her last kiss was a full confession of lib
crime.
Harry Walters was released, but never
showed h s face in Lulworth. When
Bessie was able to move they emigrated ;
and no tidings of tbem, weal or woe, ha>
ever reached tbeir old home.—s. Jarru\

MORE MURDERS.— A man named Bon,
at Elk Prairie, attempted to murder his
wife, who had left him an J gone to live
with her parents. He fired at her with
a shot-gun when her child and his was in
her arms, and she was surrounded by the
members of her own family. The bulk
of the charge wpnt in the body of the
child, and the wife was only wounded in
the arm. Her brother then seized Ross,
but the latter stubbed bim witli a large
butcber-kuife and afterwards beat liirn
senseless with the stock of the gun. His
mother-in-law fleeing to a neighbor's
Ross shot at without effect, then made
his escape. Fifty men arc scouring the
country in search of him. His w,fe says
that another of their children died six
weeks ago from the effects of a blow with
a stick dealt by the father.

Forxo AT LAST —The famous story of
tbo "stuffed captain" in the Prussian
army has at length received a satisfarto
rv rxfdauntion by the official press. In
all Prussian budgets there figures a Cap
tain of the First R-'gimcnt of Foot
Guards, for whose pay the estimates are
charged with 1,300 thnlers. though the
officer's name is not to Is- found in the
army list. The mystery has given rise to
many humorous tint none the less violent
attacks from the Progressist, who ur'-nt
ed in the item one of the nnmeroiia false
pretenses by which Government was sup
posed to obtain "fundi. The "stuffed
captain," who was again made the subject
of a fierce attuek in the latest light over
the Budget, turns out to be no other fhnn
His Majesty himself, by his Imperial dig
nity Captain of hie own First Foot
Guards. He docs not, however, pocket
the 1,300 thnlers for his own use, but
pays them regularly tow.ud the support
of ! 'ie tiille-d men in that company of gi

, Mrs. Lanark wa# moibtled, but not

" Ah, Kate, time# have changed since (
II wa# young.' 1
" For the worse !" muttered the Judge.
Hut his u ife did not notice him. Shi
went otf,
"You had better leave tlie making of 1
bread to the help in the kitchen. If ever
you have a home of your own I trust
you w id have enough else to occupy your
time without doing the work of your ser- '
rants."
"If ever I haven home of iny own."
said Kate, with mild decision. "I am
determined that I will Ikj able 1o super
intend every part of it. My servants
shall not bo my mistresses. No servant
employed iu my household shall he able
to look iforu upon me. I will not he tie

"Good!" cried the Judge, ngain.
"(Jo at if, Kate, and I w iil furnish tho
material. Waste a dozen barrel# of flour
if necessary,—only bring n.e a grand good
loaf of biend, of your own making and
linking, in the end !"
Mrs. lamark still thought it foolish;
and Isabel and Bertha characterized it a#
very cliildi-h and whimsical. They
futicicd that it smacked of the nursery
and tlie fday-room.
But Kate wa# earnest; and n# her
father hacked her up. she carried the day.
and gained tho freedom of the kitchen,
where the servant# very soon came to
love and respect her.
Tiie following winter Isabel and Bertha
spent in the city. Knto remained at
I loins because her mother could not well
spare them all. Luring their visit to the
metropolis the elder si-ter* made their
friends, and .formed n few* pleasant n#-
aocintkms. Among other# they met with
Roland Archwortii, a young hanker,
whose father had been Judge 1-anark'#
chis-mate and chum iu college. In their
letter# home they had informed their
father of this fact, and tlie Judge, remem
bering the elder. Archwortii with treas
ured love and esteem, and knowing tho
son to lie the occupant of an exalted posi
tion, in society, hud invited the young
man to visit him nt hi# country house.

his father bad founded. Tiiero was no
speculation in tho business which he fol
lowed. With a hanking mpital fully
equal to the greatest possible emergency,
the house pursued a legitimate course,
and its wealth was constantly increasing.
it is a wonder that Mrs. Lanark's heart
fluttered w hen the prospect daw ned up
on her that the young banker might pos
sibly seek one of her daughter# for n
wife! She cared not whether lie choose
Isabel or Bertha. They were botli oc

said something, and then he drank the

more of hi-real feeling in hi- look* thou
in hi# speech, he retired.
A few days thereafter the young han

said, ns he took a seat, that ho had come
upon important bn-iness.
" I have come,* 1 he went on. "to sk
of you thnt 1 may seek to gaiu the hand
of your daughter."
The Judge was agreeably surprised.
Fie had tnnck'd that of late tlie youth had
been growing cold toward hi# daughters.
"My dear boy," ho said, *• between you
and 1110 there mcd be no beating about

" Neither, sir. It is Knto 1 w ant."
"Kate!" cried the old man, in Idnnk

danced in hi# eyes.
" Yea, Judge. Your Kate in the womnn
I want for my wife, if I cm win lier."
*• But, —iu) dear Ihiv, —how in the world
did you manage to find my pearl—my rnby

when have you discovered tile priceless
worth of thnt sweet child!"
" I discovered it in the kitchen, Judge.
I first fell irrevocably ami truly in love
with her when I found her, with her white
nrms linre, making bread. I have known
her better since. It is your little Knto I
want."
" God blesa yon, my boy! Go And win
her if yon can. And, ho sure, if you gain
her, yon will gain a treasure."
Roland went ntvny, and half an hour
afterward tho supernal light that danced
iu hi# eye# told his story of success.
And Kate, when closely questioned,
confessed thnt tho first Hume of real love
which burned in her hojumi for Roland
Arch worth wa# kindled by the deep and
true element of manhood which he had
displayed on that early morning in tho
kitchen.
Of oourse Mrs. Lanark was willing,
