PownMtalrs, Lilian has drawn hir
Hunt out noross tht road ami on to
the esplnnal without naklnir a
word. Here, however. In the shade
and title privacy, the torrent of her
angry fear breaks out.
"Aunt Hessde." iburstinu on Mrs. Mus
Krave like a small voleano, "did you
know of this?"
"I think so," says 'Mrs. MusKrave.
slowly, and fls if tnklntr an Inward
planoe at her memory. "I really think
BO."
"You did? You planned It all? You
can stand there before me and ac
knowledge It?"
"Well. It's difficult, but I'm dolus my
Very best, my dear; I'm stronger than I
thought." says Aunt lSessle. who Is
doing her best to subdue an Inclination
towards Inextinguishable laughter.
"All your disgraceful maneuvering
Will be of no use. then." says Lilian, her
eyes flashing. "I shall go home tomor
row. Nothing shall keep me here! I
shall go home In the morning."
"The very fact of his being here
would "
Somebody lias come up to them. A
tall, young man. with a charming face
that 'has a suspicion of humor In It.
"Isn't It perfect?" says he. lightly.
1 made sure I should llnd you here. It
Is the one place In the world, where
to stay Indoors night or day Is an im
possibility, so long as one can stay
awake." He turns pointedly to 1,111:111.
who Is gazing out on the moonlit water
as though unaware of his presence, yet
nil the time she Is wondering if he had
heard her last words. Surely not. his
manner Is free from embarrassment,
not an arrlere pensee In it. "Your first
Visit. Miss Hlake?"
"Yes, her tlrst." says Aunt Tessle,
hurriedly, who feels a storm brewing.
"Flrst Impressions are always best,"
says Lansdale, whose lips twitch hu
morously, "You will stay for. some
time?"
"For . week." says Aunt TVssle.
promptly, for which speech the girl
could willingly have killed her. To go
tomorrow after that, would be Impos
sible. It would look like running away
from him. .No, whatever It may cost
her, she will remain: she will be even
friendly with him. she will let him see
that his being here Is a matter of the
most perfect Indifference to her. and
Just at the very end. she will say some
thing, just a mere word or two nnd
quite polite. That will let him know
how distinotly displeasing he Is to her.
If not Indeed absolutely hateful.
It Is In accordance with this resolu
tion that next morning she meets his
proposal to go out boating with him
In an amiable. If distinctly careless
fashion. The fact that she adores
boating, that Aunt Tiessle wouldn't go
with her. and that a boatman is gen
erally a bore, has perhaps something to
do with her going, but she herself puts
"Nothing Shall Keep Me Here."
It down to the "resolution." And for
three days she goes out boating with
him, always with the same self-contained,
cold. Indifferent air, speaking
to him as. little as possible, and giving
him to understand silently that, though
Bhe acknowldeges the cousinshlp be
tween them, he himself Is of no account
at all. And Lansdale, who had begun
by being amused, has grown curious,
and perhaps a little resentful.
Today, Thursday and the fourth of
their acquaintance, has opened with a
warm, faint, driving mist, that lies like
a soft cloud on the brows of Hungry
Hill and the Sugar-loaf, wrapping
them In a garment of purple haze. It Is
not sufficiently wet, however, to keep
an" one at home, and In the morning
Lilian had acceded to Lansdale's re
quest that they should take another
look at Cromwell's Hrldge, . and had
from that wandered on Into the lovely
woods almost within reach of Lord
Bantry's shooting lodge. They had of
course seen It all before, nnd It was
like a farewell visit, as, of course, to
morrow will be their last day Aunt
Bessie having decided on returning
home on Saturday. Always somewhat
taciturn when with him, Lilian had
been singularly so this morning, arid it
Is with a sort of dogged pertinacity
that Lansdale asks her at the hotel
door on their return If she Is too tired
,ito go, out for a row. A good deal to his
astonishment, she acquiesces at once,
and Geoffrey, having secured a very
satisfactory luncheon made up In a
dainty basket, they start. Hut here as
on land Lilian's reserve continues.
"Why the deuce dops she come If
she can't stand me?" says Lansdale to
himself, with pardonable irritation,
and, falling Into her mood, he, too, re
frains from speech, until the sound of
the oars and the musical dashing of
the water against the sides of the mnny
islands by which they go, is all that
breaks their silence.
They land at Garnish Island, and go
HP to gee the 'Martello tower, an old
man with the keys following them.
And perhaps It adds to Lansdale's sense
of Injustice that Lilian talks gayly to
this old ancient, laughing her soft,
musical laugh, and going into ectasles
with him, over the magnificent view
below. She had hitherto seemed un
sympathetic to -Lansdale, who has
fallen In love with Ulengariff, but now
he knows how full and deep in her ap
preciation of It. And, indeed, the liv
ing picture that lies before them could
hardly be surpassed the soft, clear
bay, with Its blue waters rippling
round Its many islets, the lovely woods
growing to the water's edge, the grand
old mountains, severe, mysterious, clad
With their purple heather, and the
glimpse of OlengarlfT castle amidst
the foliage. Everything seems so old,
so still, that It seems a relief when,
from a little rock crowded with sleepy
gulls that have seemed for the last five
minutes part of it, the grey birds sud
denly rise as If with one consent, and
float away like fairy visions across the
dark bosom of the water.
. '8hall we row once more to Proudly
river?" says Lansdale, when they are
again In the boat.
v "Yes. It Is very pretty there," says
Lilian, with enthusiasm.
'Better have some luncheon on our
way."
"I' think I should like something to
rat,'! says Lilian; absently. Geoffrey
could have shaken her.
("Look here;" says ho, presently lay
ing down Ms oars.. They have finished
luncheon and, Lilian Is amusing herself
throwing the' scraps to the big white
swan, who always follows tbem in
their excursions, with a view no doubt
to lunoheon on his own part. "Let's
M
"Have what out?" She has reddened,
however.
"Well, all this absurd nonsense. You
thought 1 rame here In an underhand
sort of way to see you to 'boldly' judge
of you?"
''.Mr. Lansdale!"
"You did think that." There Is a
touch of sterness in his voice that
angers her.
"Well, it looked very like It." says
she, defiantly.
'Vome to that, why should I not have
thought that you had come here to see,
to Judge of me?"
Miss Hlake frowns.
"That U a rude speech," says she,
coldly.
"Ito you wish to have a monoMly of
the rudeness then? However. I mere
ly made that remark to give you the
chance of seeing how things might look
from the other point of view."
"You will take it back, however,"
with a touch of hauteur.
V. rtainly I consider It quite as un
likely that you should net in that w.iy.
as that" deliberately "I hhould. Hi;-

I may as well tell you that
I came here principally to meet,

that is iv little ironical, "but a
friend of mine, t lio promised to be here
tills week."
"lie is not very punctual," says
Lilian, indifferently.
"She seldom is," with a shrug. "How
ever. I have had a line to say she will
be here today."
"Oil!" All her self-possession does
not avail her to hide the distinct start
of surprise that follows on his words.
"I daresay you have heard of her."
goes on Lansdale. "Letly Linton she
Is a distant cousin of mine, and 1 sup
pose of yours, too."
"1 don't 'thins: so." coldly. "Miss
Linton? Yes. I believe Aunt Bessie
has met her In Kngland. A tall girl?
and" slight i hesitation "good-looking?"
".More than that."
"Pretty?"
"Lovely!" says Lansdale, with en
thusiasm. Sill-nee. Miss Blake has gone back
to the feeding of the attendant swan,
nnd Geoffrey seems filled with agree
able thoughts.

DEATH FOLLOWS INSULT.
How a Texas Man Punished Another for
Calumniating His Wife.
Fort "Worth. Tex., Sept. lS.'-Tn re
venge for an alleged Insult to his wife,
IJ. F. B.nvy lust night went to his
brother-in-law. Tim Healy's. house
and emptied a douhle-harrelod shot gun
at Healey, tearing his left arm to
pieces. Haly ran out of the front
door, where Barey met him with n pis
tol and tired five shots at him as he ran
across the street.
Healy fell on a porch, and before by
standers could interfere Barey broke
his shotgun over his head and smashed
his face to a pulp by Jumping on it
with both feet.
Barey then went home, reloaded his
pistol, returned to where Mealy was
lying and emptied it Into his body, kill
ing him Instantly. The Infuriated man
then surrendered to the officers and
was lodged in jail.

of control. The new prices in this city
and New York are not remunerative
from a producer's point of view. The
actual fact of the advance in New
