CHAPTER V. (Continued.) During her absence from the room, Mistress Salome reviewed the conversation with much complacency. She congratulated herself on the ease with which $hc had convinced her sistor-in-law of the wisdom of sending the girls away for a while. Only a few minutes passed before Mistress Esther returned, followed by her husband. It was fl hot day, and he wore no coat over his dean, homespun shirt. Stout trousers of blue lioliand and heavy j calfskin shoes completed his attire. His thick, chestnut hair lay in little rings about his white forehead, moist with perspiration. His cheeks and neck showed almost bronae iu hue above and below his short, heavy beard. By far the finest feature of bis open, attractive face was his keen, frank, blue eyes. These rested with some curiosity on Mistress Salome as he aeated himself near her and waited to learn the reason of his summons to meet her at this unusual hour. More briefly than to his wife, but still with extreme cleverness, she laid her plan before him. He listened to the end and never once removed his steady look from hr countenance. "Bid the girls come in, wife," he said, then, turning to Mistress Esther. "All of them, Timothy?" she asked. "Yes, every one. I wish them all to hear what I have to say." In silence the four daughters of the house entered the roonyand sat opposite their father. There was slight resemblance between them. Delight, sitting Quite erect, showed in the poise of her small head, the alert glances of her dark blue eyes, the proud curve of her red lips, a spirit willful, eager, daring. Desire, in contrast, was like a stately lily beside a luxuriant rose. Both these sisters displayed a quiet dignity of manner, leaving all the curiosity to be vividly depicted on Sylvia's brilliant face. Her wide-open, hazel eyes made no secret of her burning desire to know what was going on. She tossed her thick, auburn hair back from her glowing cheeks and east impatient glances from one to another. Dolly, whose gypsy-like aspect made her the odd one of the four, was wholly occupied in wondering how long it would be before she should be old enough to wear a beautiful, carved-shell comb like her Aunt Salome's. Timothy Leland was the first to speak. He rose to his full height and addressed his daughters directly. 'Your Aunt Salome has asked your mother and me to let you three. Delight, Desire and Sylvia, go with her to her old home in Devonshire, England, where also your mother and I were born and bred, as often you have heard us say. She desires to take you away from the hardships of a farmer's household and of a roUli-rW..Ukily.ui. tUesc uuLus.py (laye, to provide for you nil the luxuries and refinements wealth can procure and to marry you, if it should so transpire, to elegant gentlemen of high degree. "My ears wonld have refused to listen to her offer; my tongue would scorn to repeat it were it not that I know it to have been made out of love for you alone. She is a just woman, and your Uncle Francis is an

upright man. 1 doubt not or your return to us nntrammeled by views of their imparting. They would no more seek to foster in yonr hearts any disloyalty to your parents' chosen country than your mother and I wonld do, were our positions reversed. Therefore, I have heard her patiently to the close of her speech, and therefore, also, I now rehearse to you her request. Yon shall answer it each of your own pleasure. 'First, however, I would have you hear my feeling in the matter. Each drop of blood shed on Lexington Green last April but sealed and cemented forever my resolve to oppose to the last drop in my veins the unholy and illegal oppression of the mother country. Never by thought or word or deed will Timothy Leland do otherwise. Neither, with his cousent, will his children openly or tacitly espouse the cause of their country's enemies. 'You, my beloved daughters, are free to choose. Should you el:et to remain loyal to yonr father and your nvither, my love for you and pride in you will be greater than ever, if such a thing can be. If your choice is to accompany yonr Aunt Salome to England at this time, understand that no return to this family is possible. Take a little time to weigh the matter well. 'Tis not meet that you should be forced to sudden decision. Your aunt will remain with ua till afternoon. At two o'clock we will all meet here again for a final conclusion of the subject." He spoke with exceeding gravity and kindness. As he turned to leave the room, Sylvia sprang up. "Father!" she cried impetuously, "I don't need to wait- J know utw that nothing could make me wish to leave you and mother, nor to be on the British side. I bate them with all my heart, and wish I were a man that I might fight them!" She crossed over to him and slipped her hand in his, er eyes flnshmg, her whole body vibrant with emotion. He puused an instant, glancing involuntarily toward her sisters. They sat with downcast eyes. Hi tins were tightly compressed under

his ruddy beard us, still holding Sylvia's hand, they passed out. "Come, Desire," said Delight, rising; "you will excuse us, mother? I wish to

stieak with her alone."

"Willingly. And you, too, Dolly, run out now. I would consult further with

your aunt." Dolly bunted around for Sylvia, and at

last spied her at some distance down the

road. "I wonder where she is going," she mur

mured, disconsolately; ttti3 is such n

queer day."

Dolly little suspected that Sylvia was hurrying ns.fast as her vigorous young

limbs would allow to report to David

Townsend the surprising events of the

last hour. She found him in a corn held.

resting under an immense elm tree, for ht

was not yet strong, although his wound

"had healed.

"Oh, Dave!' she exclaimed, throwing

herself down beside him and fanning her

sell with ber flapping, green sunbounet. "What do you suppose has happened at

our house?

Startled by her unexpected appearance,

seeing signs of extreme excitement in ber

bright eyes and blazing cheeks, ami chi' iking first of the one dearest to him,

his reply was a single questioning word "Delight?"

"Yes. Delight and Desire and I, too,

Dave! Aunt Salome is going back to England, and she has asked leave to take ua three with her to stay until all this

fuss is over! What do yon think of that !

Dave's heart, which of late had been achlngjerpetually, grew heavy as lead. "But you re not B'iug, surely?" he asked, sarching the animated, piquant

face before nim for the answer ue eravcu. "Fin no. of course! I'm a true patriot.

1 loreOt t Salome dearly, ana i enjoy

all the beautiful things in ber home and Hie pretty tilings she giws us, but I'd scorn to bo inlluenced by them," she declared, using a word of her father's which had impressed her us very fine. "I'd simply scorn to live with her in ease in England when nil the rest of you over here are fighlitig for our liberty and enduring hardships. I told father that I shouldn't go with her. The other girls didn't say anything. Father is going to call us together again at two o'clock, and I thought I'd come ever and tell you about it, so you can talk to Delight." The young man looked at her despondently. "Whnt good will it do for me to talk with her? Yon know rigtit well that she has avoided me of late." Sylvia arose. 'Oh. well, if you feel that way, there's no use! But if I were n man I wouldu't be so meek. Clirls hate meek men," she announced, with an hir of experience that brought a smile to Dave's lips in spite of his gloomy feelings. Luckily his thick mustache hid it from her sight. "I'd go straight up to the house," she went on, "and just make her listen to me before Desire has a chance to give her any message from Mr. Redcoat. They've goue up garret now to have a private talk, but I can get her down if you want ine to. That's why I ran over here so fast iu the

hot sun. She began fanning herself again wit

rigor. Dave felt reproached for his scant reception of her kindness. "You're a good little girl, Sylvia," he said, rising and extcmliug a hand to help her np. She refused it with a pout and sprang to his side. "I'm not a little girl at all, thank you, sir! I'm exactly the snme height as Delight is, and my waist is a good deal larger." Again Dave repressed a smile. "If I wore long dresses and did up my hair you'd see that I'm almost grown up. Dolly, now, is really a little girl, but I " She broke off with an abruptness characteristic of her outbursts. "Dave, are you going over to our h-.mse or not?" They had reacheJ the bars, which he

lioa." But, as usual at the sight of his beloved's baught.v, graceful carriage, er lovely face and her every motion, telling of a proud, self-coninitied n mil re, his dense of iinworthincs of so rare a creature overwhelmed him, and he could only worship he:.- by looks more eloquent than words iin i humbly wait her bidding. Even when she told him, as she very soon did, in the most unuiisittktililc way, that she could never lie his wife, he simply stood before her while and dmuk No reproach escaped him; no single syllable of pleadiug. lie knew only too well that she said the (ruth; that the repented warnings of bis inmost heart, which lie had slilled so desperately, were true: that Sylvia's clear-seeing eyes had read alight. Kciitu.ing this, f what use were protest or iiuploritigs, could he have uttered them' Delight no longer loved him. He doubted in his misery whether she had ever (lone so in the dear old days before she hud grown so imperious and so dislnut. But what did it uiattei? What did anything matter siuce all his .sweet dreams were so ruthlessly shattered? When Delight had finished her cruel message, she hold out her hand, for she could but pity the poor fellow. "Good-by, Dave. Dou't feel hard toward me. I never should have made you a good wife. I am too " She stopped, appalled by the look on his face, as he covered it with his hands and turned from her with a groan. Frighter.ed, trembling, white as he, she hurried away. At the lower cud of the gardtu ste met Sylvia. "What has happened? What have you done?" demanded the younger girl, with an imperiousuess never outdone by Delight herself. Delight, wrought up by the exciting occurrences of the last hour, consciencestricken at seeing Dave's suffering and disconcerted by Sylvia's pointed questions, sank down ou the grass uud burst into tears. "What have you said to Dave, Delight Leland?" ngain asked Sylvia, this time accompanying her inquiry by a vigorous shake of her sister's shoulder. "I I told him I I couldn't mgrry him," sobbed Delight. "Then you are a wicked girl. Delight T.elmid " she said, and her deliberate em

phasis gave the simple statement an added weight. "Votiare a wiekedirhjjjil-L

DELIGHT DELIVERS HEB CRUEL MESSAGE

began to let down, but she climbed over in the most agile fashion, coming down in the dusty road with a light spring. "You are grown up, Sylvia, in very truth, remarked Dave, with the gravest of faces, as be joined her, and they walked on together. To his surprise she showed decided embarrassment, blushing deeply, and he hastened to change the subject. "Do you think, really, Sylvia, that Delight cares for for some one in Boston ?" "How many times have I told you that I do? Some of these days you'll believe me, when it la too late." Slie said this so seriously that in spite of his strong faith in the one sweetheart of his life, he was much disturbed. He was fast learning to respect the shrewd sense and keen observation which lay under Sylvia's nut-brown curls. He scarcely realized how largely ho had depended on her during the past few weeks, nor how frequently his thoughts were turning to her for comfort and counsel. As they passed through the orchard, she stopped. "Now, you wait here, Dave, and I'll send her out. And, mind that you get her to say when she'll be ready to go into the little bouse you are building. Don't be afraid of her. You know she's promised you, and I know that mother lias given her a whole piece of linen, and that they have been making comfortables. Just be brave as a lion, and Mr. Redcoat won't have a 'chance. He's way off in Boston, and she won't be able to see him agniu very soon." She seemed the impersonation of courage as she stood, sunbounet in hand, her curly hair flying in the brcexe, her brilliant hazel eyes fastened ou him, her parted red lips showing her white teeth between their pretty curves. Dave's blood was sti rred by her rousing words. That they were iu large measure true he knew right well. Btft he sighed deeply, as ho watched her rapid progress to the house. A moment later be saw the flutter of a white handkerchief from the garret window. "Whnt an energetic little soul she is!" he thought, amused and pleased, too, by her efforts in his behalf. It was some time before Delight appeared, but she did come, walking slowly down through the garden, the dearest and sweetest girl the whole world over, he thought, as he stepped eagerly to meet her. Her beautiful face was pale, and no answering smile was returned to bis; but she placed her hand in the one he offered her, and allowed him to lead ber to a grassy seat under the apple trees.

CHAPTER VI. "Our acta our angels ara For good or ill." Bacon. "It Is not just ns we take it This mystical world of ours; Life's field will yield, as we make it, A harvest of thorns or of flowers." Alice Carey. Desire, when she came from Boston, was the bearer of a message to Delight front Archie Mcl'hea lrls, who had hastened back to his post of duty immediately ou the failure of his n-tempt to elope with the charming Yaukee maiden. He had been able at that time to secure a few days' leave of absence wilh the utmost difficulty. He had licit dared to outstay

his permission and tttist to luck to give

him another opportunity. Hut lie now sent word to Delight to be constantly on the watch for him and ready to join Uiiu at the briefest notice. With affairs in such condition any fur

ther meeting with Dave ou tho old foot

ing was impossible, aud she made up her mind to see him aud put an cad to their relations once for nil. Hence Sylvia's

easy accomplishment of her plan.

During tlv interval of the going of one

sister and coming of tue otner, ueve

resolved tu take his little counselors sen

sible advice and to net, even though he might not entirely f--l "as "rave a a

cd from Boston to India with a cargo of lcc. We were lying at anchor In the roads off Madras, and 100 vessels of all tiatlons were anchored about us. The ship nearest us, about two cable lengths away, was the British ship Mahratta, which had come from Singapore in ballast with a crew of Malay Lascars. It

was one day at noon that, as our crew lay round under the awning in the

forecastle, waiting for the order to turn

to, one of the sailors sluing ou the capstan sung out:

'Hi, mates! Just look over to the

llme-juicer! They're having some kind of a rumpus there! See 'cm going! I believe it's ouc of those Malays running amuck!"

'We all Jumped to our feet and look

ed at the Mahrntta, and some of us ran up into the rigging to get a better view.

From the topsail yard I could see all that was going ou ou the deck of the

British ship. Amidships a Lascar, nak-1

til to tne waist, was slasiiing and stabbing at a European otlicer who hud tried to grapple with him, while everybody else iu sight on the ship was running fore or aft or taking to the rigging. Ou the titmiieiileck the captain was hurrying two Indies down the compuulouway into thu cabin, supporting In his arms one of them who had fainted. As tho oilieer fell lifeless to the deck, the Malay bounded past him, following three sailors who had run aft, along the port gangway, upor. the poop. As he ran he swung before him a long, slender knife, Its crooked blade curving iu and out like the wri things of a snake. He overtook tho rearmost man oil tho poop and cut and stabbed him ns he bad clone with the olllcer, until the man fell. Meantime the second man leaped overboard, preferring to take bis chances with the sharks und writer serpents to remaining on board, and the third man ran across the quarterdeck and up into the mlzzeu rigging like a cat. The man in the wate'- swam for our ship, nud some natives In a lighter picked him up ahead of the sharks. The Malay left tho man ho had killed and looked around as if for fresh victims, but he himself was the only living person In view on the decks. He ran fore and aft, searching, but found no one, and he tried the ctiblu door, but It was closed fast. Theu he went to the mlzzeu rigging aud started up the ratlines after the man who had tnUen refuge there. One of the men came on the deck from below and six shots from his revolver put an end to the Malay. "Something had displeased the Mnlay and he harbored .Ills grievance.

The terror of many women's lives 13 men struation. Such women wear themselves out with suffering and seem to think there is no relief from the monthly pains. Miss Emily F. Hass, of 148 Fretman Street. Qreenpolatv

Brooklyn, N. Y.t writes: ""

Dear Mrs. Pinkham I wish tn state! that I used vour

Vegetable Compound withthe greatest success. I was ,

very sick for nearly a year with hysteria, was downhearted and nervous; also suffered with painful menstruation and pain in back and limbs. I often wished for death, thinking nothing would cure tne. I had doctors, but their medicines did me no good. At last, by the advice of a friend, I began to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound with very little hope of its doing me any good, but I am happy to say I am entirey cured. Thanking you for the good yonr medicine has done me, I am sending you

my testimonial, hoping it

will help others." Special advice for every suffering woman can be secured free of cost by writing to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., for it

Mrs. C. D. Smith, 221 Eleventh St, Racine, Wis., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham I gladly give you my testimonial in favor of your remedies. When I first commenced your treatment I bad been suffering from female troubles and weakness for some time. Menses were irregular, coming too often, and were very pain

ful. I could not walk a great distance, had those terrible bearing-down feeling in the lower part of bowels, backache, and pain in left ovary. I used five bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and my menses have become regular, and am cured of that bearing-down

feeling after walking.

I consider your Com3 f 1. . rrS-TC

medicines tnere is tor those complaints peculiar to women. T. thank you for the good advice you gave me. I will gladly recommend your medicine, and hope that every one who suffers as I did will give it a trial"

To sacrifice beauty, disposition and healii

to a false idea is folly. Generations of ignorance have handed down belief in the necessity of monthly suffering. A healthy woman should experience but little pain and only a moderate amount of inconvenience. Mrs. Van Oluh AdvisBS Wom. "Dear Mrs. Pinkham For several years my health was miserable. I suffered the mcst dreadful pains, and was almost on t. i verge of insanity. I nonsuited one of the best physicians in New York, and he jn onottneed my disease a fibroid tumor, advising an operation '.vithout delay, saying that it was my only chance for life. Other doctors prescribed strong and violent medicine, and one ss.td I was incurable, another told me my only salvation was .alvanio batteries, which I tried, but nothing relieved me. O ie day a friend called and begged tne to try Lydia E. Pinkham'ii Vegetable Compound. I began its use and took several botiles. From the very first bottle there was a wonderful change for the better. The tumor has disappeared entirely and my old spirits have returned. I heartily recommend yeur medicine to all suffering women." Mrs. Van Clefti 416 Saunders Ave., Jersey tty Heights, N. J. Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound A Woman's Remedy for Woman's Ills.
