N all the cotintty there was no
batter liked man than Colonel
Drury of the Chasp, Klmhurst,
that qu.Unt old red dwelling
home of two etoiles, which stood
in Us well wooded grounds Just
n(V the hlch road between Selc-
hUTt and Hastings. The colonel
had servod with the great Marlborough
nml ha 1 named his only son John
Churchill, after the chief whom ho still
worshiped, and still regarded as a hero
without flaw or stain.
Long since had the fover blood and
war faded from the colonel's life; and
now, In summer days, he loved to dally
In the terraced garden, with Its box
hedges and plashing fountains, and Its
riot of blossoms and color and perfume,
plucking here a flower nnd there a
half-opened bud that looked coyly for
the first time unon the morning, and
veiling them with lacy ferns of tender
srreen. Then he would carry the wholp
bunch of sweets within doora to dailc
eyed Mistress Hetty, his niece, and pre
sent them to her with a word of loving
Brace, like the old courtier that he
was; and Betty, who loved the dear
old man and his (lowers too, would fill
great china bowels with the treasures
of the garden, and drop them Into slen
der vases, and altogether work such
wonders of loveliness among them with
her slim white llngeis that the colonel's
admiration was scarcely to be ox
pressed. Tall and erect, his white hair queued
In a club, always diessed with almost
foppish precision, the colonel, with his
tine features and bronzed face, was a
man whom no one would papa un
noticed. Ornvo, yet kindly, and easily
pleased, he had marched through life
with as little concern for danger as a
bravo and not foolish man may haw.
Four times he had been wounded, and
at namlllies he had defended the colors
against such odds that Marlboiough
had said; "Drury has more devil In
him than the greatest flre-eater In the
army!"
Always the same calm gentleman, In
battle or at home, "was the colonel. He
had led the way to dancer, and fol
lowed to safety. Few officers at that
time were so beloved by their men, for
It was too generally the custom to
treat the private soldier as a brutal
gladiator, bought and paid for, soul
nnd body a debased creature, drilled
and forced to fight, to whom hardship
was but a right measure, nnd death the
final reward of a slavish service. Cap
tain Drury as he was then treated
his company as men of honor, and ex
pected implicit obedience and lespect
In return.
"I respect evety honest man, sir," he
would say, "and if he does not respect
me, then I would avoid him, for either
lie or I cannot be fitted for the positions
we ocupy."
Now In his latter das he employed
himself with the minagement of the
property he had inherited, and of the
larger 1-heritnnec of Retty, an estate,
which, under his care, increased in
value year by year.
One great wish the colonel had. and
It was that Betty, whom he loved as i
daughter, should marry her cousin
John; but it seemed that his wish
would not be gratified, for the lady,
who was at this time not much over
18, had many admirers, nnd was of a
capricious and haughty disposition. She
loved her cousin as a brother, so she
said and John, mindful that she was
an heiress, would not press his suit a
second time. Hetty might haye re
gretted her words when the bright
faced, handsome young man left her
nnd Joined his regiment; but she never
showed It, for she wan proud, and of
that nature which can suffer In silence.
Never had she been so gay ns on the
morning when John left the Chase, and
the good colonel, who knew naught of
the ways of women, lost all hope of the
fulfillment of his cherished wish.
Hetty had many suitors, nnd her es-
wlde-frllled kerchief, crossed over hor
breast, nnd secured by a tiny brooch
of pearls, a cap of filmy muslin crown
ed her powdered hair, and her round
ed white nrms were bare to the elbow.
She was a hnndeomo girl, with her big
dnrk eyes and long eyelashes, and the
deep rose-hue of health and youth
flushing her cheeks. She was all red
and white, like a York and Lancaster
rose. Sir David thought. As he cross
ed the gravelled path his heavy foot
steps became audible, and Hetty looltel
up with a certain eager anticipation,
which parsed awny when she became
aware of her visitor's Identity.
"These young military men walk so
much alike," she thought; and there
was a heightened glow upon her
cheeks which Sir David altogether
misinterpreted.
"I am fortunate, madam, In finding;
you alone." he sold, after the usual
formal salutations had pafed.
"The colonel will be with us very
soon, I hope," she said, and stooped to
gather a gorgeous peony.
"Two Is company, thiee Is none," he
ventured.
Hetty was perverse. "So my undo
nnd I find," she said.
Sir David's eyes looked angry, but
still he smiled.
"Your wit Is ns keen as ever, MIs3
Drury. It has often wounded my
heart."
"Then 'tis keener than I could have
believed. Sir David."
"Meaning that my heart is hard,
Mistress" Ah, well, perhaps 'tis trim
of it when I go Into the world, for it
is a hard world, and would crush a
heart unready to bear Its cruelties
but 'tis tender enough when I meet
you, dear Miss Drury."
. "Ah!" said Hetty Indifferently, and
moved off, as If desircus of plucking
flowers that grew farther away. He
followed her, growing! hot with indig
nation at her disdain, but displaying
a self-control which his comrades
would not have given him credit for
possessing.
"Why should you take pleasure In
wounding me, sweet Mistress Hetty,
when you of nil the woild can create
Paradise for me with a smile? What
is life if ore heart takes no pity upon
another' Take you pity upon mine,
dear lady!"
He seined her hand and showered
kisser upon it. She managed to re
lease It, and although she said noth
ing, the sparkle in her eyes betrayed
her rising anger at his persistence.
It became evident to Sir David that
his wooing was not prospering, and
In vague sweet words he was but
wasting his time, so he came to the
point at once.
"I think of no one but you, Miss
Drury. Will you not tnke pity on mv
misery and my loneliness? Will you
bo my wife?
She -was standlntr with her back to
him, and she turned slightly and look
ed over her shoulder.
"What think yot: of my estates Sir
David?" she said coolly, as though shf
had not heard his tost speech.
"Why speak of them now?" he ask
ed, perfectly comprehending the In
nuendo, but deeming it wise to feign
Ignorance. "My thoughts are of you!
Lt us forget that there Is aught in
the world but leve, or other people
save lover:? who wander in a summnr
garden, hand clasped In hand, breath
ing 1iy with the fraginnt air! Have
morcv upon me, dear Miss Drury tell
m it you will be my wife!"
"No!"
She said It very quietly, very un
concernedly, ns though it were a mat
ter in which she had little Interest on'
way or the other, but the tone can led
conviction to the listener. Nothing
could have been more eftectlve, more
crushing, than that single monosylla
ble, coming as It did at the end of
the suitor's flowery rhapsody. It stung
Sir David to fury, nnd he sprang from
the kneeling posture he had so grace
fully assumed but a moment before,
tates had some ardent admirers, and I and grasped the girl's arm with an
among these latter was Sir David
Noakes, who was In the same regiment
as John Drury, and whose heavily
mortgaged lands adjoined the Chase.
When at length creditors became
TiesMng, Sir David deteimlned to put
his fate to the test, and rode to the
Chase one afternoon, and requested an
Interview with Mistress Betty.
lie found the heiress In the garden,
among her i.ilnbow flowers, and ad
vancing arrosi the soft turf, h gazed
at her critically, and told himself that
the prbe had other attractions than
ltp monv value. Betty was arrayed
all in snowy white muslin, and had a
almost brutal force, crying:
"I say that you shall iv.urrv me'"
"Shall to me, sir!" she said angrily,
her eyes flaming, her red lips set in a
curve of contempt.
Sir David saw that he had gone too
far.
"Forgive me," he pleaded, releasing
her aim. "I am mad with 'ove of you!
I cannot live without you!"
"Not in such a. fine mode as you
might wish, sir," she returned, with
nn affectation of the most stately cer
emony, "but I hac no doubt but that
you will contrive to live In ii passable
comfort nevertheless; and I wish to

Everyman who would know the grand truth, plain facts,
the new discoveries of medical science as applied to
married life ; who would atone for past errors
and avoid future pitfalls, should secure
the wonderful little book called
assure you that I shall live In most
excellent comfort without you!"
Sir David could restrain himself no
longer; his fine manners, which were
but a surface polish after oil, went to
tho winds.
"You vixen!" he cried, with an oath.
Betty grow very pale, but she faced
him, her eyes full on his.
"It Is well for you, sir, that my cousin
Is not here!" she said, haughtily.
"Your cousin! Aha, that Is it, Is It,
my lady! So you've been, brought up
to bo his wife, eh? Stap mo! Tls n
fine fortune for the boy and a plan well
contrlvedl"
"Silence, sir!" and her tone was such
as she might have used to a disobedient
dog. "You are a craven cur to speak
thus! You would not dare so far in
my cousin's presence!"
"Would I not, mistress? Would I
not? Show mo tho man that David
Noakes dare not sneak his mind to!
I say that all this contrivance shall go
for naught! You will not marrv me,
mistress, but I say that you shall not
marry young John Drury! On that I'll
wager my fortune, stap my vitals!"
"Or wager its mortgages, sir!'
"Gad's life, you need have estate to
balance that cursed tongue!" he cried
out in a violence of fury. "Mark you,
mistress, what you have said, and re
member it on that day which Is coming
when vou will wish that your tongue
had been cut out rather than given
such freedom with me!"
He had recovered himself a little as
he spoke, and ho bowed to her, and
walked away with something of his
accustomed ease.
I That evening, strolling in the garden,
j with her little hand fondly clasping
the colonel's arm, Hetty told the story
1 of Sir David's wooing, but not of his
Insolence. Her anger was over, nnd
she could lnuuh at the episode, and
she related it, with such quaint con-
celte that tho old soldier laughed, too.
"I scarce thought he would have pre-
1 sumed to ask for thy hand, Hetty," he
I said.
"I fanced ho would," she answered
I demurely.
"Ah, lltle one, perhaps thy bright
eyes glanced hla way," said the col
onel, stroking her dimpled hand.
I "Uncle!" she cried Indignantly.
I "Nay, Betty, I ask thy pardon. Your
pure Instinct would toll you his char-
actor. The man Is profligate; his very
soul Is black with sin!"
"Uncle," said Betty, thoughtfully,
"dio you know that I have never heard
rou speak so harshly of any one before.
You have always tried to find excusej
for people who are spoken against."
"God forgive mo if I am unjust! Hut
when I think of this man, Bottv, my
blood bolls In anger. He Is a murderer
for such I account all those who are
known as duellists, and he Is a noted
one."
A duellist. Some troubling thought
must have crossed Bettv's mind, for
her mouth drooped a little, and her face
lost some of Its rose tint.
"It is bis boast," went on the col
onel hotly. "Seven times has he been
out, and every time has killed his man.
I say 'tis murder!"
"Seven men he has killed," repented
Betty. The mirth had gono from her
voire altogether.
"Yes. The last was poor young Fos
ter, my old comrade's only boy. Poor
lad, nor lad' He was murdered. This
man, Sir David, never misses hl3 mark.
Betty, my child, it is my boast that,
though I have done my best against
my country's enemies, I have never
shed the blood of one of my country
men. Once I was In a duel, I confess.
I could not avoid it but I did not fire.
Yet, thank God, my courage and my
honor have never been doubted!"
The colonel had not been looking at
his niece while he was sneaking, but
as she clutched his arm he glanced
down at hor. He was amazed, horri
fied' Her face was colorless and an
awful fear was in her eves.
"Hetty! My child! What is it " he
cried.
The words forced themselves fmm
her pale, parted lips.
"My John! My John! He will kill
him! That is what he meant!"
Joy and pain came to the old colonel's
heart together when ho understood her
fears, for he saw that his boy had not
bestowed his love in vain, and he felt
mat. air jjavurs words had been no
Idle threat.
"John will not quarrel with this man,
Betty," he said, comfortingly; "he will
not be led Into a duel, for ho thinks
with mo on that point."
"Supposing he were grossly insult
ed?" whispered Getty.
"Then the honor of the regiment
would demand that he should go out
wun tne man who Insulted him."
Betty was half fninting. and 'as she
I leaned heavily upon the colonel's
shoulder, her fancy showed her n, ter
, rlble picture, wherein was John, fallen
, to the ground, a bullet wound In his
forehend, the dark blood dabbling his
golden hair, nnd his blue eyes staring
, blankly at the heavens above him.
The colonel tried to soothe the poor
child, but his face was white and
stern, and his mouth had lost Its
sweet look of gentleness and had bei
, come almost hard In Its lines.
I "Believe me, Betty," he said, In a
I hushed hut steady voice, "believe me
I that John is in no danger. I know
that he has nothing to fear!"
"Oh, uncle' and yet "
"You think I may be mistaken. No
love, not that not that. He of good
, heart, little one; let us not think of
i this again. Come now, Hetty, within
aoors. tor I must prepare for my
Journey. I go to London tonight!"
"Tonight?"
"Aye, tonight. 'Tis a fine night for
a rJde, nnd will do me good."
And later on tho colonel kissed his
Tho colonel's Stories were all of
others: nnd to hear him tell of gal
lant deeds done by his old comrades
was to make his hearers feel proud
that they wero soldiers, to sweeten
their hearts, and drive self) from their
souls, He was speaking of his old
comrade, Major Foster when Sir David
Noakes entered the mess-room. Tho
baronet had Just returned from his
country seat, and after carelessly sal
uting his commanding ofllccr nnd his
comrades, ho flung himself Into his
sent, and helped, himself plentifully to
wine. John Drury was on guard duty,
nnd Sir David, looking round, saw tho
colonel 1 the young man's place with
some surprise.
There was a minute's pause and tho
colonel went on with his Interrupted
story.
"It was a miserable daybreak, cold
and wet, nnd a mist hung over the
ground so that wo could not see ten
yards ahead, and It was chilly enough
to freeze tho valor out of our bodies.
All night wo had heard the chnllengo
of the French sentries only half a mile
awny, and we knew that wo might ex
pect an attack in tho morning. My
company and Foster's were detailed to
hold a bridge across tho canal and we
had instructions to blow It up If wo
could not hold It. Wo had the powder
bags stowed nil ready, and there was
a dreary wait. At last came the
muffled trnmn of many feet, and wo
stood at the bridge ready, straining our
eyes to see through tho fog.
"Foster, who was in command, gave
tho word to fire, and In sections wo
sent In volleys which drew their fire:
and we saw by tho flashes that the
enemy was within fifty yards of us,
and on they came, firing when they had
the chance. They tried to charge over
the bridge, but of course failed, and
after three repulses they spread out
along the opposite bank and fired at us.
We had only a hundied and sixty men,
and they hnd probably ten times aa
many, and Boon our numbets wore ter
ribly reduced. Again they charged,
their men on the banks trying to clear
the way for thein; and again they met
with a repulse, during which I received
a wound that spoiled my sword arm
for a while. Hv the time we had sent
them back across the bridge we hadn't
sixty men left, and so Foster agreed
with me that we must blow It up.
Whether or not the French had divined
our purpose I cannot say, but certainly
they concentrated such a fire on one
end of the bridge that It was almost
impossible for us to reach the powder
bags.
"A sergeant, and then five men, one
after another, tried to fire tho charge,
and were shot down, riddled by bullets.
Then Foster Insisted on marching up
to the bridge with me close behind him,
so that when he fell I should be nearer
tho powder bags and unharmed. Ah,
ho was a gallant follow, was Foster,
a marvellous gallant fellow! He placed
himself before me, and on we matched,
for there was no disobeying him; and
we naun't gono five yards when ho
was hit.
" 'Hold up and double!' ho cried, and
then he staggered as he wns hit again:
but he wouldn't let me stop him, and
he only dropped when we had t cached
the bridge, which was about twenty
yards from the bank behind which our
men lay. I set the match alight and
picked Foster up to carry him back;
but having only one arm I could use
I could not get far away before the
bridge blew up and rent us flying!"
"A gallant fellow, that Foster!" said
tho commanding officer, with kindling
eyes.
"Ah, ho was a gallant fellow sir!"
said Colonel Drury, rising. "Gentle
men, I drink to the health of my old
comrade. Major Foster, and confusion
to the villian who has embittered his
last days!"
The colonel's clear voice rang
through the mess room, and there was
a stir and amazement among those
who sat around the table, for it was
well known that Captain Noakes was
tho man who had shot young Foster.
Amid dead silence the baronet arose,
and, pallid with excitement and anger,
he turned toward the noble figures of
the old colonel, who was still stand
ing. "Your age shelters you from tho con
sequences of this insult. Colonel Dru
ry," he said hoarsely, "but It your Bon
has a particle of honor in him, he
shall "
The colonel interrupted him.
"My age shall not debar me from tho
pleasure of offering you satisfaction,
sir." he said. "My hand Is still as
steady as your own. If you refuse to
meet me, you prove yourself a coward,
a despicable poltroon who dares not
far, death!"
There was a hush and then a move
ment to make the colonel sit down,
nnd an endeavor to prevent tho affair
going any further. Tho colonel was so
popular, so reverenced; ho was old
he bndo farewell, saying that ho was
called away.
And -when Sir David's seconds heard
tho colonel's conditions through Cap
tain Davles, they stared aghast.
"But that Is murdcrl" they clcd out.
"Tho cholco is with us," said Cap
tain Davlea gravely; "cither your man
accepts, or, by God, I'll let tho world
know that he was afraid to faco usl"
Hlr Dvtvid had but the cholco between
accepting the colonel's conditions aid
a ruined and dishonored life; and so It
came about that ho faced the old sol
dier that night, pistol In hand, with
only the width of the now deserted
mess-table between them, as they
watted for tho word to fire.
Thorn was a smile on the colonel's
handsome clear-cut faco and the light
of peace In his grave blue eyes; and
Captain Davie whispered to his as
sistants that their principal was the
finest looking man he had ever seen.
and a soldier and a hero every Inch of
him, by God! And Lieutenant Spencer
whispered In return that Sir David
looked a hangdog wretch who was
afraid of his doom.
Truly tho baronet's pistol-hand was
trembling, his fuco was blanched and
sunken into dark and heavy lines, his
teeth clenched upon his lower lip. He
was gazing Into tho black barrel of tho
colonel'o duelling pistol, and he knew
with a sick horror that the bullet
would strike him between the eyes, and
that in another minute he would have
passed Into tho hereafter. Ho was not
wanting in a certain kind of courage,
this noted duellist; but the man who
ran face certain death, without the
faintest shadow of hope of escnp
must be the bravest of the brave, and
only those of noble heart and unstained
honor can claim that glorious title.
"At the word 'three,' gentlemen, you
will flro together."
Tho voice fell upon Sir David's ear
like his death-knell, and seemed to
come from far away. He had a wild
thought of flinging down his pistol, but
the fear of what would follow re
strained him. Should he pretend to
mistake ard fire first? The idea nerved
him, and ho took steady aim as the
voice cried: "One!"
The colonel thought of his beloved
son, whose life would bo safe now; and
of little Betty, who would weep so bit
terly nnd pray so earnestly for the old
man whom she loved. He fixed his eyes
on the distorted face of his enemy, and
kept his weapon steady
Sir David's purpose was formed. He
would wait for tho word "Two" to
pass, and would fire before the interval
wns over. His lips curved downward
Into a strange smile as he waited. But
the words followed quickly upon each
other, as though the dastardly thought
had been read.
"Two-three!"
Two reports rang out together, and
both men dropped, each with a bullet
wound in his forehead. John le Breton

THE YAQUI PROPHETESS.
Why tho Mysterious Santa Teresa
Was Banished from Mexico.
"I notice," says a correspondent,
"that somo enterprising reporter has
tried to make Santa Teresa responsible
for tho Yaqul rebellion. Santa Teresa
Is at her home in Clifton, Ariz., and
has not been on Mexican soil since she
was banished some years ago.
"I have heard the story of Santa
Teresa's life from her own lips, and
from her father, and I know that she,
never did have anything to do with
Indian uprisings in "Mexico.
"Santa Teresa was born on her fath
er's farm, in the state of Sonora. Her
father was then a wealthy farmer,
residing more than 100 miles from tho
Yaqul reservation. The Yaqui Indians
heard of tho wonderful healing powers
of Santa Teresa, and a number of sick
Yaquis had been cured by her. She
won their everlasting gratitude, and
their simple, superstitious minds en
dowed the kind-hearted farmer's
daughter with divine power.
"One day there came to the Yauql
settlement a priest. The settlement
had a little cathedral, but no priest,
except such as occasionally visited the
village as this one did. The priest
found In the little cathedral a very flno
old painting which had been left there
by the Spaniards. The priest wanted
the painting, and said he would take
it and replace it with another painting.
The Indians objected, and finally noti
fied the persistent priest that he should
not touch the painting. On returning
to his regular station the priest re
ported that the Indalns had rebelled
pgalnst the Mexican government. As
a result of that report troops wero
ordered to the Indian village to subju
