CHAPTER IX Continued. If Lea Hedges should accept him, the captain had a hurriedly matured plan, which in due season would take him away from his companions and permit him to be near his idol at all times. He was fortunate in finding Lea alone, and she, having just returned from a horse-back ride, was looking more beautiful than ever, if that wore possible. Captain Fox, like all men of strong impulses and great oxeoutivo ability, came directly to the point, yet he ap proached the subject of his love in suob a way as not to shock her by the suddenness of his declaration. Under such circumstances, since the very first hourwhen English civilization required that the young lady's affec tions were as essential as the consent or the parents, it had been the nearly invariable habit of tho fair ono to confess surprise, and to vow that tho honor done was wholly unexpected. This is always the case where the young lady has made up her mind to say "no," and she usually says It in a way to piaster the wound she is making. No woman can look with other than sympathy on the eligible man whose offer of marriage she refuses. Bnt Lea Hedges, while not rude in her refusal, was certainly brusque. "I must believe what you say, Captain Fox, and I presume I should feel honored by your offer. I certainly should be unworthy the esteem of any truo man If I trifled with his feelings. While treating you with the courtesy due an officer In the service of our gracious lady the Queen, I have done nothing that you could construe into any encouragement of the suit which I must decline. " 'But why why do you refuse me? he asked, the sanguine huo of his cheeks turning to purple. II you cannot guess l cannot explain, she replied, with a dignity that chilled him. "It means that you love some one else." 'Why should it? But that you may be undeceived on that point, lot me assure you that you are the first man that ever spoke to me of love and marriage. xoa anouia remember mat 1 nave known you but a short time, and that, no matter bow favorable the Impression you may have made among us so far Is, a common prudence would forbid my pledging what I have not love to a man wnom x am not Know two weens ago. "You are right. Miss Hedges, and I am to blame," said the captain, his old manner coming back. "But you must excuse me in die light of these tacts. A letter, just received by a post from the Governor of New York, orders me to that city. It Is possible I may be sent to fight a pirate, one Captain Kidd, who Is now reported destroying our commerce in the West Indies. I sail tomorrow night or early next morning, and I wanted to take with me one memory to sustain me amid the perils and dreariness of my cruise a tie that would draw me back here." "Where you and your officers, "replied Lea, "will always find a hearty welcome awaiting you. " "Thanks for your words; they do not leave me hopeless," said the captain, his yes taking on their old expression of reckless vivacity. He adroitly changed the topic, and after talking for nearly an hour, without once going back to the subject with which he first started, he left, promising to see her again before he took his departure. Although Lea Hedges bore herself so calmly and bravely ia the presence of her sailor suitor, sho did not retain her One self-possession and excellent spirits after he left her. She went to her own room, and after changing her riding dress she threw herself on the bed, and, burying her face in her hands, so remained till her mother oame to call her to supper. Like the dutiful daughter she was, ' Lea made up her mind to tell her parents of Capt. Fox's offer that night; and she might have done it at the supper table had not Valentine Dayton and Ellen Condit been there. She did tell them that Captain Fox had received an order by courier, from the Governor of the province, commanding him to take his ship to New York. And then Lieut. Dayton told her that Balph Denham had received an order from the same authority to report In person, and that he would start tomorrow or next day. "But he does not take the ship?" asked Lea, eagerly. "No, he leaves us all here," replied Valentine. "But Balph will return again?" said Lea, the expression on her beautiful (ace telling her anxiety in the answer. "I suppose so," said Valentine, who was much devoted to his friend and commander, "for without Capt. Denham the Sea Hawk Is a very ordinary ship, Indeed." "And with him?" queried Ellen, who was very fond of her adopted brother. "And with him she is the best ship of her tonnage afloat;" In the midst of the conversation, and much to the delight of the Doctor and Mrs. Hedges, both of whom loved Balph Denham as dearly as they did their nephew, Valentine Dayton, the gentleman under discussion was announced and entered the room. Ralph confirmed the report of his departure, said he hoped to be back very soon, and then asked Lea if she would take a walk with him along the shore. It was not unusual for the Captain to ask the same question, to which she invariably gave an affirmative reply; but as he asked it now there was that in his manner which she bad never noticed before. And, though Balph Denham was so entirely different a man from Captain Fox, there was something about him at the moment that reminded her of the latter when he was about to make his startling, unexpected proposal. She pot on her hat and light oloak, and, taking his arm, they went down the road and through tho woods, where, as a little girl, she had often gathered nuts, while Balph, then a sturdy hoy, sent them to the earth from his giddy perches high up in the trees. She did not hesitate to tell him then that she thought him the bravest, strongest and handsomest boy in all the world. He would give a great deal to know what she thought of him now. It was with something of a feeling of desperation that he resolved to learn her feelings to-nlitlit. The courier's letter had decided him. He forgot the barrier that sprung up In his mind, every time ha thought of offering himself in the past. Balph knew who he was rather he did not know who he was, in regard to nam ) and parentage and though he consoled himself with the belief that neither could be bad, he realized that In this community, there was a strong even a bitter, prejudice against, these of illegitimate birth, and that maidens far beneath Lea Hedges in the 'social scale would hesitate before giving him their hands in marriage. Usually, Balph was the soul of cheerfulness; to-night, he was gloomy, and, la her futile efforts to rally him, Lea herself became taciturn. At length they reached a promontory, that commanded a magnificent view of the bay, and of the islands to the east, Bow a cloud of green and gold, in the

distance, Here they sat down on the trunk of a fallen troe and, turning to nor, Ralph asked: "How long have you known me, Lea?" "I have known you Ralph," she replied, "ever since 1 can remember." He became silent again, dreading to launch out on the sea, to whose shore ho had led her. "Why do you ask that strange question?" She did not look at him, but toyed With the ribbon of tho hat which sho held in her lap. "1 was wondering how long two friends good friends as you and I are could be acquainted without knowing exactly what the one thought of the other, he said. "I have never doubted about that; you havo been to mo a bravo urother, in whom I felt all a sistei's pride; and I think I have been to you a sistor; you have often told nio I was. In these vory woods." And now she began to knot tho strings as if she had a spito against tnem. "I was then a youth and you a little girl. We have both changed. You are no longer a sister to me. Lea." "Not a sistor, Ralph?" "No; tho time the time I have so often thought or, and always with a feeling of dread has come. Oh, Lea, you must be much more than a sister to me or or lass. " He turned to her and reached out both his hands; and, as she did not make a response, but sat there trembling, with a face as white as a statue, he called out: "Forgive me, Loa. I could not help it. It seemed that my heart would break if I did not tell you of my love before I left. Now I care not to return, but I do not blame you. Were you in truth my sister, and one in my position asked for your hand, I could not encourage him " "Oh, Balph, Ralph!" she cried, springing to her feet, aud cl nging with her whito arms to his neck. "Do not leave me so, Balph, my more than brother!" As he folded her to his breast, and kissed her face, which the setting sun seemed to surround with an aureole of golden light, Balph Denham became aware of another presence. He looked up and saw the scowling dark face and towering lorm of the Montauk chief before him. Releasing Lea, Ralph strode before the Indian, and in an angry tone demanded: "What brings you here?" "Here," said tho chiof, defiantly glancing around him. "Hero I stand on the lands of the Montauk. What brings yon hore?" ! i snouia (rive my reply it una lady i were not with us," said Balph. l snail receive your reply when she Is not with you," said Uncas, throwing his long rifle across his shoulder, and striding into the forest from which he had come. CHAPTER X. -Sngr SAILED AV1T IN A GALLANT BAKK." Well, with the lovo of such a girl as Cousin Lea assured," said Valentine Dayton, the morning following tho events narrated in tho preceding chapter, "the battle is more thun half won. I am sure Uncle Nehemiah Hedges will come round in time. " "I do not blame Doctor Hedges for re fusing me the hand of his daughter; in his position I think I might do tho same, said the captain ask your pardon. Ralph, but I don't i think you would.

And Valentine Dayton was himself in a Pluto bordering on ecstasy : for had not KUen Condit. with the oonsent of her parents, pledged him her hand, on their way back from Doctor Hedges' the night before? The young officers, during this conversation, were on their way to the Sea Hawk, where the Captain was to make his arrangements and issue his orders before turning over the command of the ship Lieutenant Hedges. Oi ,'eachlng the deck they found Lieuv nant I'renauld on board, talking earnestly with tho oQlcors of the Se t Hawk. With the oOloial manner which sailors and soldiers can so readily assume or lay aside, Frenauld touched his hut, and, approaching Captain Donham, said: "I am the bearer of a letter, sir, from Captain Fcx, who i'e;.i.e8 me to take back your answer." Captain Denham was in lined to like Frenauld, and his dislike of Fox ho imagined was caused by the feeling that he was or ml lit become a rival. All four of this being dissipated by Lea, he felt, as is ever the case with generous natures, of going to the othor extreme. I'renauld remained back, smoking and conversing with the officers of tho Sea Hawk, who were gatherel under an awning on the quarter deek. Before opening the letter, Balph Denham, followed by Valentino Dayton, went down to the cabin. After glancing over tho note to make sure that he could communicate Its contents to his subordinate, without any breach of etiquette, he read as follows: On Board H. M. S. Chi iek Wandeheh, 1 Orr Sao, Harbo:;. Juno 13, 1696. ( Mr 1BAR Captain Iibniiam: I have been Informed 1 y some of our friends asho e that you aie ordered to New York at onco-j without your ship.

To Captain Ralph Donham, 11. M. S. Provincial Cruiser, Kea Hank. "What do you think of that, Mr. Dayton?" asked the Captain, when he had flnishod reading the letter aloud. "I must say I think It very handsome. Captain. Of course you will not say 'no to such an offer? It is a most fortutato think to have a ship like tho Wanderer to bear ono to New York, instead of going through the wooda and over the sands on horseback," replied Lieutenant Dayton. "Even If tho offer were not tempting, I sliould feel Inclined to accept, to show my appreciation of Fox's kindness." "Then you will go on the Wanderer, Captain?" " Yes; and I shall at once write Fox to that effect; Frenauld is waiting for my answer." Captain Denham sat down to a desk, and qulcking penning his reply, sent it up by Lieutenant Dayton. And thus It oame about that Captain Denham sailed away In the Wanderer. Had the powers of darkness deliber-

ately planned to aid Captain Fox and Colonel Graham in tholr dark sohea.es, matters could not havo worked better into their hands. Colonel Graham was not a demonstrative man; on the contrary, he was cool, self-posscssod, suspicious and cynical. But when Fox toad him Ralph Donham's letter accepting the offer, Graham sprang from his ohalr, and in his momentary exultation, seized his companion's hand, and oried with an oath: "Now, we havo him, sir! wo have him!" It was reported that Col. Graham would return to Now York on tho Wanderer, but the peoplo expressed no surprise when tho vessel sailed away without him. The night lioforo tho morning when the ship sailed away, Col. Graham, who still made his hoadquarters at the inn, was taken alarmingly ill, and 1'r. He Jges, who was called ill to uttond to the case, bled him freely. The illness was u trick to give an excuse for remaining behind, but there v as uo trick about the doctor's lancot. Bleeding was then thou -lit to be apattaeo for every ill, from a toothache to Asiatic cholera, and the doctor left his patient so weak that he could not move if he would. It was decidedly dangerous to "fool" with doctors In those days, when bleeding and blistering killed the weak, and tested the powers of the strongest. Squire Condit was the only person of noto in the town that did not visit tho sick man, but the people all thought the

I Squire cocentric. A row days after the v. andorer saflou away, Dinah, tho old lila -k woman, literally forced her way into Col. Graham's room. The rather startling disclosures that the old woman made, and tin; remarkable conduot of tho invalid must form the subject of the next chaptor. TO BE COOTIMTisn. I Tho Bov-Klng and a French Moll. It was a rule of tho old French law that monarchs como of age at IS. Louis was rapidly approaching the momentous birthday. He had grown Into u tall, fine-looking lad; his manners were good; ho was an excellent horseman; ho danced admirably, as we have seen; and he had already shown that taste for elaborate dress and ceremony which later years were so strongly to develop. But before ho reached the eventful day, the royal pair passed through a trying experience. It was night time. Suddenly a rumor spread abroad that the king and his mother were trying to 06capo out of their unfriendly capital. Bells rang, the peoplo turned out, nil Paris was in an uproar, and marched down upon the Palais Royal. Arrived at the pulnce gatoe, the peoplo shouted tholr will "Our king! show us our king!" they cried. Within the palace wore dismay and feur. The quote's ladies, pale and trembling, clung to her: sho alone was undismayed. Hearing the shout for tho king, sho his mother calmly ordered tho doors to bo thrown open wide. She faced the mob of thosn who would enter, and asked what they wanted. "To see the king," they answered, "and assure ourselves that you do not intend to steal him away." "The king sleeps," replied tho queen. "I will show him to you." With all the regal graoo for which she was famous, Anne slowly led tho way down the gallery to her son's room. Sho was followed by as motley a crew as ever tho Paluls Royal had seen within its walk. On the threshold she j aused !to put her finger significantly on her ; lips, then stepped forward to (he bod, 'pulled wide the curtains, tind displayed to tho people the young king soeiningly IT.mil!f )hn Fnrtr.nt lY.v th with j eyelias tight shut, but it was to keep 'weUed up f his heoVT back the tears of helpless anger that For two hours tho queeu t-tood besido i his pillow, and did tho honors of his Isupposed slumber, while the rabble of i himself to deliver to the opium agent at a nxeii price, ordinarily or as. a pounci, whatever opium may bo produced on his ' land. When official supervision is efficient. fit Is certainly very difficult for a man to cultivate poppy on a larger area than is i covered by his license without detec 'tion. The cultivation caunot bo concealed. It is a sort of garden cultivai tion, the poppy plant being grown in lit- ' tie squares or bods Intor.-oeted by water channels for Irrigation wherever this in possible. The growth of the plants is carefully tended, mid at length thetima comes when they burst out into flower, : and the fields look like a sheet of silver tas the white potals of the fiowors glisIton in the morning dew. Those beautiful petals are tho first (produce of the crop; for the women anil (children of tho cultivator's families come forth and pick them off ono by ono , and carefully dry thorn, so that they may servo afterward ns the covering of the manufactured cakes of opium.

The mother and the elder I'lirg had lived apart several times, and the father aud son bad been known to say they doubled tho paternity of tlin child. T1k sou bad also made threats. The night before the death of the child, young I'lgg prepared a dose of some mixture and gave it to the baby. He threatened other children who saw him to keep thorn from tolling what thov had seen. The body of the child will be exhumed aud au autopsy held. Tiik coal operators have received word not to ship any more coal for tho present over the Chicago and Kastorn Railway, because the tracks tetweeu Momence and Chicago are blocked with coal. This causes embarrassment in some of the mining communities. Nearly one thousand men arc thrown out of euipluymont in Vermillion County. Nearly every mine in Clay County is at a 'standstill now. and the Indications are favorable for another long strike. Willi, k Sylvester Toany, a ltig Four brakeman, was making a colliding, at Columbus, ho was caught between a car and a platform and crushed tu death. This Is the second person killed there in that manner within a year. Fatk Kdjioxsun, a miner employed at tho IHui.ioiid mine near Clay City, met with a serious accident. While descending the shaft the rope broke, letting tho cage fall with Mr. Kdniunson a distance of lifty feet, breaking his left leg abovo the knee, and badly crushing the right leg below tho knee, besides otherwise bruising him. lie is about thirty years old, and has a wife aud child depending on his dully labor. l)WIXi to tho prevalence of scarlet 'over at i'lainlicl.J, tho County Health Hoard has ordered Central Academy .dosed.

Royal Baking Powder Is Absolutely Pure iVAHILE there are so many alum baking powV V ders in the market, the use of which all physicians decide render the food unwholesome and liable to produce dyspepsia and other ailments, housekeepers should exercise the utmost care to prevent any powder but the Royal from being brought into their kitchens. In the use of Royal there is an absolute certainty of pure and wholesome food. The official State Chemists report: The Royal Baking Powder does not contain-ammonia, alum, lime, nor any injurious ingredients. It is absolutely pure and wholesome. The Government reports show all other baking powders to contain impurities. In the use of any baking powder but Royal there is uncertainty if not actual danger. It is unwise to take chances in matters of life and health.

William's Ideas Had Changed. "William," said an old farmer to his young and sturdy hired man who had 311st fallen heir to a snug little fortune of 850,000 bv the death of an old uncle in India, "I know that I have strenuously objected to you marrying my daughter Sarah Ann. Hut I sco things in a little different light now, William. I find that my daughter loves you dearly and 1 would not wish to wreck her happiuess, William, for she is my only child. Therefore you may have her. William, and the S10.000 that goes with her, Just as soon as It suits your convenience." "You arc very kind, sir," replied the sturdy. William, without even the suspicion of a tremor in bis manly voice; "but since receiving tho news of my good fortune my matrimonial Ideas have materially changed. I now naturally look a little higher than your daughter, sir, and shall, if nothing happns,soon marry Polly Uriggs. the iceman's daughter.and the 15,000 that goes with her." Blakine Bogus Antiquities. Dealers in bogus works of antiquity have been doing a rushing business of lata Recently the Louvre came near being swindled by a smart young man who brought in a magnificent bronze statuette, a specimen of Venetian art of the fifteenth ccnturv. The patriotic young gentleman declared that he would lot' the Louvre have it at a sacrifice because he would rather see it there than anywhere else. Nevertheless, tf It was not purchased in twenty-lour hours, ho would reluctantly be obliged to sell the statuette to a foreign establishment. So he modestly fixed tho price. Everybody appeared to be delighted with the beautiful work, but the director of tho fine arts, M. Roujou, was absent, and the money could not be paid to tho patriot until he returned. An examination proved that this ma.gn flcent ai.clent piece was just six weeks old. Collector. How a Han Cooks. The absoiit-mlnded man is at it again He had been reading the egg story published In these columns, aid decided to try the trick. The first thing to do was to boll the ege. How many minutes? ho asked blmsclf.aud going to tho stovo with the egg in one hand and 1 is watch In another, ho dropped tho latter in hot water. Then placing tho e;g on the tablo be sat down to read till tie time was up. At the end of five or six n inutes he was surprised to find the egg lying thoro before him, but supposing that ho bad himself taken it from the kot .lo aud cooled it. ho proceeded to crack and peel it. Tho consequences may be imagined. Finally he missed his watch. The house was searched high end low, and It was not until the following morning that the cook found it in tho kittle, where it had beeu boiling for hours. Oldest Pieces ol Iron. The three oldest known pieces of wrought iron in existenco are tho sickle blade that was found by Belzoui undor the base of a sphinx in Karnac near Thebes, the blade found by Col. Vyso I m boded in the mortar of ono of the pyramids, and a portion of a cross-cut saw which Mr. Layard exhumed at Nlmrud all of which are now In the iirltish Museum. Another piece of iron, an account of which might not bo Inappropriate in this conndction, is the wrought bar of Damascus steel which King I'orus presented to Alexander the Great. This bar, which is of unknown antiquity, is still carefully presorved In the National Turkish Museum at Constantinople. Tako Real Soldiers. That is a very sensible suggestion made by Col. Brush of the Ohio National Ouard, that tho Governor select his staff from the commissioned officers of the National Guard, if every Govornor would do that there would bo more encouragement for men, to servo In tho militia, and the ofiicial staffs of our chief magistrates would contain more stalwart men of soldierly bearing and military experience and fowsr men selected because of their good looks or their society aud political pull.
