■ CRUEL /THE GRAVE; ; -===»==- The Secret of Dunraven Castle. > —- —- BY ANNIE ASHMORE, Author of "Faithful Margsuret," Bto., Bto CHAPTER XlX.—Continued. A bright moon rose above the trees, and filled even the dark Interior of the coach with light He saw that she was half unconscious, and he ventured to relax his jailer grasp, and to lay her in a mote easy position along the seat He bent over her with a fierce and dreaming ecstasy. Oh, if those blue heavenly eyes would only unclose and look into his with a timid glance, in which he might read dawning tenderness! how patiently he would fan the flame, how delicately ho would defer to her girlish caprices, how light his chain shou d be until ho had won her whole sweet heart! For without her heart he could not be content, so mighty was his love for her. I Alas! if he had only been a good man he could have taught her to adore him. Not many minutes passed thus, the carriage tearing along»the silent country road, and Loveday lying exhausted; then she recovered the use of her faculties. She evolved the situation, still lying with closed eyes, the loathing recipient of her fierce lover : s rhapsodies; she remembered that they had entered the carriage so hastily that the coachman had not closed the door for them; it must be still possible to open it from the inside then. They seemed to bo flying over the ground; yet if she must attempt to esj cape—with her life if possible—but if not Loveday’s heart cried out to God; she knew it might bo her last prayer! sho thought then of her own adored Auberon; ah! never would ho know how sweetly she loved him! and of her beautiful mother, whose one bright joy she was; and two bitter tears gushed from under her eyelids and glittered like diamonds in the brilliant moonbeams. “You are conscious, my own love, my wife!” murmured Accrington in her oar. “And life brings only tears to you! wait! I shall soon teach you happiness ” She bounded, with all her gathered strength, against the carriage door; as sho had foreseen, it yielded to her pressure and she fell headlong almost across the flashing wheels, but Accrington caught her In time, and would have pinioned her against his breast, uttering —passionate entreaties that sho would yield to whai was now inevitable. But Loveday was driven to desperation; she must—she would escape this demon-man, if she lost Her life in the attempt She struggled fiercely; she seemed possessed of supernatural strength; if he had her by the arms, she had wrenched free the next moment; if he grasped her by the waist she writhed down between his arms and his breast; and all the while the carriage door swung to and fro against the wheels, and he could find no moment in which to secure It Long ago the crumpled paper had fallen from his hand, and lay on the floor close by the open door. In al! her frenzy of terror, Loveday never forgot that paper; and when she writhed downward she caught it up and held it In a death-grip. Accrington had forgotten it. “Loveday!" he said at last; “there is no use in this. I will not give you up to Auberon Crecy—no, .not if I have to take your sw.et life to prevent it!” “You may murder me,” panted the poor quaking child; I suppose you will; but I will not go another step with you of my own will. ” And with that she almost succeeded in springing out of the carriage. Having secured her once more, Accrington chanced to glance through the rear window. Then it was that Loveday saw a look on his face that chilled her heart’s blood. They had talked of murder, but his eye, in its strange gaze, now meant IL He drew a pistol, he grasped her firmly —he placed the cold tube against her temple, holding her head as in a vise. Loveday raised her wide frightened eyes full to his; he pored over their agonized entr aty, their sweet wild wonder and anguish that, after all his love, he could take her happy life away! His hand shook—his teeth chattered; then he remembered that Auberon Crecy was close behind in pursuit; and jealousy, cruel as the gjave, possessed him. “You shall be mine, or no man’s" cried he with a burst of insane laughter: “come to your bridal, the grave; you first, my dear; I shall follow close!” Her agonized eyes, riveted upon his, and catching every new thought, dls- ••■■■ covered his last fatal intent just In time. As his finger pressed the trigger, Loveday dashed up her arm, the pistol was Struck from his hand and exploded as It fell; she had one glimpse of Accrington’s fierce white face and maniac eyes; then came a dreadful warning yell from the coachman outside—the carriage rocked from side to side—swayed and toppled over—and she flung herself toward the open door. . When the appalling tumult had died away, the grinding crash of glass and metal on the flinty verge, the heart sickening scream of a terrified horse, the dull moan of human agony, and all was still under the bright moonlit sky, Loveday lifted her dazed eyes to meet two eyes full of gentle love keeping watch over her, and her frozen heart began to beat against the warm clasping arms of Auberon Crecy. For they two stood alone upon the brink of the fatal abyss whore her guilty lover had gone down to his death. “But what is this you- have so convulsively grasped in your hand, love?” , asked Auberon, when he could return to / the shuddering and weeping gjrl,' from “ the mournful duty of dispatching some men who were attracted to the spot, to descend the ravine and examine the wreck. So dazed was sho that she had to smooth out the crumpled envelope and read the address—to horsertf—before she knew. “Oh, Auberon!” she faltered with awe, “it is his confession—some time you shall know more—but it will right a great wrong be did a - good man, and he, would not give it mo unless I camo that way i> for it" . --dLZ“I see, Tsee! that was why you granted the secret mooting, not Oh, my own-true Loveday, I never for a moment doubted you!” ‘ For Accrington had done, his best to give Loveday’s abduction tho color ot a voluntary elopement; he had sent an lago-like note to Auberon by a sure hand, warning him that he had not als&afstsss

■' ' tea betrothed, as ho might see for himself If he wftnes'.ed asoeret meeting between them—giving time and place, and insolently signing with Accrington's own name. Auberon did not receive this astounding warning until it was dose on tho appointed hour;iand instead of suffering tho pangs of doubt and jealousy which Accrington had prepared for him, ho Instantly fathomed his rhal's desperate design, and flow to rescue his Loveday. He brought his own fiery hunter; be was In time to give tho dismayed Mrs. Dellamore a hint of the iniquity on hand, requesting her to send her stoutest-hearted servants to tho rear gate tn case force might bo necessary; and then fie. hurried after poor unsuspicious Loveday. and had the benellt of tho confidential attitude which Accrington assumed to convince him of ber guilt. Then tho door was locked between them, and Auberon found himself in tho grasp of Accrington's two ruffian accom plices, while bls darling was snatched away; but Edgar Arden had come, late as it was, to convoy his good news to Mrs. Dollamoro, who sent him after Aubcron. Ho turned tho tide of battle, and Auberon got free to pursue tho abductor on his own fleet horse. He never told Loveday how he had saved her from tho doom of her fierce lover, from whoso convulsive clutch he had torn her through tho open carriage door, while yet tho vehicle was swaying on tho brink; nor'how sho had lain across that awful brink in merciful unconsciousness of tho dreadful sight, which Auberon followed with eyes starting from their sockets and blood freezing in his veins. When Loveday was once more clasped In-her mother's arms, and Auberon and Edgar woro about to retire to attend to saddor duties, she beckoned Edgar to hor and placed the precious confession in his hand, explaining its meaning. “Thank God,” ho said, fervently. “I had ceased to hope for this ” He hurried straight to Lord Inchcape, and In silence presented tho still sealed envelope to him, signing him to read. In deep surprise the nob eman broke tho seal and drew forth a folded paper, opened, and found it blank! “Incredible treachery!” cried Edgar, in sudden fierce contempt. “I gave him credit at least for sincerity to her!” and he told the whole story of Miss Dollamoro's devotipn to his lordship's cause, and the fatal sequel. Yes Richard Accrington had deliberately plotted tho whole thing; his promised reparation was but a ruse to bring Loveday into his power, the socalled document merely a bait to secure her by. What need for him to write his own condemnation if ho never meant to use it? This discovery greatly added to Inchcape’s horror at his end; it would have been one bright spot in tho black picture, had he realty entertained a noblo intention which sudden overpowering temptation, aided by opportunity, had overthrown; but that ho could lie to the innocent being whom he professed to love, aye, did love with a despairing tenacity —such an end was revolting beyond words. And so seemed to end ail hope of Lord Inchcape’s vindication in the eyesof that powerful bureau who suspected hiin. Who could right tho wrong/ now that the wronger was dead? Lord Inchcape and Edgar had intended to start for the north early the next morning, but Edgar entreated his kinsman to go without him, as ho wished to pay all becoming honor to his lato political foe. “Only give me one promise,” said he, “that you will reserve for me the duty of making known to Lady Inchcape and Lady Ulva who lam. In a week I hope to join you in Sleet-na-Vreckcn; it is a short time to keep a trivial secret Uke that, since they will be so happy that they will never think of me. ” My lord gazed with arrested attention in tho noble young face before him; he noted tho suppressed fire and emotion expressed thereon, and ho gave him his hand and his promise without a word of comment The next morning saw them far apart, and tho road lengthening hourly. CHAPTER XX. MT OWN TRUE WIFK. Lady Inchcape and her daughter were seated in a heathery deli, sheltered by the stunted firs of Sleat-na-Vreeken; for the summer flies early from the bleak Northland, and already winter’s moaning winds echoed the hoarser roaring of the sea. “How fond you are of this spot, love!” said Engelonde, tenderly smoothing the pale cheek of Ulva, whose head lay upon her breast; “why is it? There are many lovelier views on our poor Sleet-na-Vrecken, and many softer mossbeds; and yet it is,to this one dell that you come day after day, as to a shrine!” “And is it not a shrine?” answered Ulva, faintly, her dark, mournful eyes, grown larger and deeper than of old, fixed upon a certain spot of the rocky path, which passed near by. “For here I saw for the lust time one whom I shall never sec again till the sea gives up her dead. Over there—there, mamma, our hands touched each other for one little moment—l feel the clasp upon this poor wasted hand yet And here, where we sit alone, I stood when I met his eyes for the last time—for the last.time. ” Her low, sweet tones broke, and sank Into-sllence. Lady Inchcape watched her with yearning gaze. “Yes, Ulva, we lost a true friend when Captain Edgar died; a truer, God never made!” she sighed, while her heart swelled with unforgotten grief. She would not tread closer to the sacred ground of L'lva’s hopeloss love, for by no spoken word had the maiden ever confessed her secret; though her long illness, followed by this settled apathy of grief, had long convinced Lady Inchcape that Ulva’s heart was buried with the dead. Heavy Indeed had been my lady’s sorrow for the brave man who had taught her how to hope: but she saw with terror and self-reproach that UlVa’s was heavier yet, and would last hey life long. In the silence which fell between them, the sound of heavy stops hurrying up from the shore roused them; and both ladies gazed with wondering eyes at Kenmore, as he burst into their presence, then stopped stock still, fingering hls blue bonnet, which he had snatched from his head, and “glowering” (as he himself would have said) at his lady strangely. - “Well, Kenmore!” said Lady Inchcape, “you wished to find us, did you not? What is it? Why! how bewildered .you look! Kenmore—what Is the matter?" How changed the stern old face was! how the keen eyes blazed! how pallid the brown cheek! And why should he gaze at Lady Inchcape with that wild look? “Speak, Kenmore!" cried my lady, in sudden panic, “there is more sorrowsome one else that we love—oli, Kenmore, my.husband is not—dead?” she shrieked, swooping forward to Irim. “Na, da, Leddy Inchcape; God’forbid!” at last he found voice to say, a very broken voice, and accompanied by a very exulting smile; “It's no ill nows, me loddy; it’s tho bonniest news—it’s—och! I’canna wait to brak it sma'; he’s here hlmsel’J” and the words came out with a roar of irrepressible joy, and the old Highlander threw up his bonnet in the air and laughed alond. Strange! the same wild rapture transfigured the wan faces of mother and daughter, tho same question burst from

“An* wha but oor ain Lord Inchcape, come to his ain true ieddy?” cried Kenmore; and with tho words my lord’s majestic figure strode into the middle of the group, hands outstretched to Lady Inchcape, proud face pale and beseeching, and somber eyes fiery with passionate love. “My true wife!” ho began, bst she did not wait to hear his pleadings! hor eyes met his in one wild, questioning look, and she was in his arms with such a strange, heart-piercing cry! Ah, poor wife! They were alone, and seated hand in hand, still in Ulva’s doll; for both the witnesses of their mooting had vanished at once, Kenmore wiping his eyes op his bonnet, and Ulva strangely torn by con- , Aiding grief and gladness. Forgive ber! for she had believed for one unutterably blessed moment that , Edgar was alive and had comeback to her! Sho soon laid this pang along with tho i sorrow in her heart; and then she could i rejoice with her beloved stop-mother with all a deeply generous soul. This, then, had been the sorrow which blighted- ber life—a misunderstanding between her and her husband ! Ah! how could ho have Cqubted her. i Lord Inchcape and his restored wife i could not feast their eyes too much upon i each other's Jong unseen -face*. - “Ah. how you have suffered!” muri mured Lady Engelonde. in her sweetest tones, and she smoothed, with her small, thin, burning hand, the deep lines graven upon tho forehead which she had last . seen as smooth as her own. “But you—but you, my Engelonde, oh I Heaven! have I como too late?” exclaimI cd Lord Inchcape in gathering dismay; , “are you dying, my Wte? dying just , when I have awakened from my fatal delusion—just when we might be happy again?” r Ho gathered the shadowy form of his injured lady close to his strongly beating breast; he scanned with infinite pity and i anguish each trace of the grief which was consuming her; he lifted her trans- , parent hand, with the fever-rose burning in the palm, to examine it closely; and then ho strained her to his hungry heart with a pa-sionate cry of rebellion. ( “I will not give her up now! 1 cannot!” I said he; and then his kisses fell like rain upon her mute, smiling face, upon the dark eyes which hungered no more, upon ' the worn cheeks, which grew rosy under them; and he pleaded with her, eagerly, , hotly, as if sho, poor, loving mortal, held j tho key of life in her hand! “You will not leave me, Engelonde? , Say it, dear; you could not, now that wo ' have got each other back again?” ( She drew a long sigh, and nestled in his arms like one weary to death who had reached the desired haven at last. ( “Leave you, my husband?” she said, wistfully, “oh, I could not, could not! ' Surely I may live nowl No, no, no, not death now, oh, let me live to drink a little more of this sweet happiness! For I am happy, my lord: your restored love is a divine elixor which pours new life ' into my veins: why, how could I be ill I when my heart io bursting with joy?” and she wept some of earth's sweetest tears 1 After a long rapt silence sho spoke 1 again. “My Jord, tell me the good news. Our 1 enemy has spoken at last, then? You are vindicated? You will once more ‘ take your place In~ the world? Tell me k all, Raleigh, no romance was ever so en- ' trancing to me. ’ But my lord's brow clouded. “No, sweet wife. Colonel Accrington has not spoken; ho has died like a dastard, with his guilt .unconfessed,” f said he. -~- • “He is dead?” faltered my lady, paling ’ fearfully, “and your vindication is hopek less! Oh, my lord!” * tihe wept, pressing his hand to comk fort him: but suddenly started from his side as a new thought struck her. 1 “But has he not vindicated me? Else ’ why are you here?” 1 He drew her back to her place with ’ loving insisteuce f “My own noble hearted wife,” he said, “in every thought and word you uncon- ■ sciously prove your loyalty to me My vindication is your first thought, not your own. And this is the jewel I threw away! Oh, who will give me back those lost five years! Listen, sweet Engelonde, , with your head on my heart, its rightful r place, of which my jealous madness . robbed you so long. Co one! Accrington . has died without a word, and I ‘ shall fee exonerated —never shall resume - public life; yet now that you are restored to me, cleared from the last . shadow of doubt, I look forward to a ( sweet and- noble life, which shall have , its elevated duties, too: and I shall ac- , cept in all humility this one cross as a just chastisement for my sin toward you. Tears, Engelonde, for me? Oh, J believe me, the sweetness of our reunited existence will far outlast the one bitter drop in our cup. ” “Yet your doubts of me will return, if you have only come to me from a gener- . ous impulse,” said Lady Inchcape trem- ! ulously. I “I have come to you because those . doubts are forever laid,” he returned. , “1 thank God who put it into your guile- ( less heart to write that story of our . misfortune, for through the resistless ’ power of truth it helped me to believe. ” “Ah! my heart spoke to yours there!” cried sho raising herself to look at him . with timid tenderness. “And have you really accepted my j simple word —which is no proof?” “I have not been so generous, Enge- [ londe, ” answered the Earl sadly. “My , stubborn pride fought against my yearn- . ing love; wo men are hard and stern, sweet soul, not like you gentle beings, , whose love makes you so self-forgetful. In reading your narrative, I saw that it Was in my power to prove one point; ‘ when that was proven, I accepted all the I rest joyfully, and entirely. ” I “And that point " t “Was ono-which could be proven by John Sircombe —and which was?” Sho considered a moment, then the . whole scene came back to her; she turned with alburst of Joy, and threw , her arms about her husband s neck. “And you believed me through that one trifling piece of evidence?” sho cried ; exulting! y; “because these few words of mine wore corroborated you could a cept I the whole! ah, your heart upuld not have been cold or hard toward® me, . or you would never have comt back to mo on such insufficient testimony, which the world would only laugh at. Now, indeed, I am happy, for I know how great your trust is! I thank God! oh, how gratefully, for the gift he has given me to-day is without one flaw, my husband not only loves but trusts me!” For a moment she gazed with streaming eyes towards heaven, then turning, gently laid her arras around her husband’s neck. her face upon his shoulder. 1 ' Another sweet silence, then She looked up with wondering face. “You say you have read my story; how can that be? In my happy bewilderment I looked at everything through a mist; I did not realize What you had said. But howdMYou receive that manuscript which I thought lost?” ■ “1 received it from the faithful hand to whioh you confided it.” said inehent-d gently; “you chose your champion well, my Engelonde!" She uttered a charmed, wondering cry, half terrified though she was. " . “Did Captain Edgar escape after aty then? is ho alive? buthoweanlt be? oh, lam awake, 1 hope!" “ - “Yes, ho is alive; ho escaped by a miracle: and the first uso he made of his safety was to fulfill his promise to you."

OUR UNPROTECTED LAKES. Hamon to Hallavo tho Treaty of 1817 II Abrogated. I If the treaty of 1817 is still In full force, provisions that arc unquestionably In favor of Great Britain restrict the naval power of the United States on the great lakes to a single warship of somewhat obsolete design on Lake Ontario, and to two vessels on the upper lakes, neither to b<- better than the one which protects American interests on Lake Ontario. A few facts will demonstrate the unfairness of the treaty so far as this country is concerned. Under the provisions of this international agreement, Gnat Britain, by means of the St. Lawrence River and the canals, could place a formidable fleet of gunboats on the lakes at any time. The prosperous cities that line the lakes would be at their mercy, for the United States would be unable to protect them with a single warship worthy of the name. the relation between thiscomrtrjjifhd England should lead to war is not probable, but it is not impossible, and under the circumstances it is not wise for a great nation to leave an extensive portion of its richest and most prosperous frontier exposed in an absolutely defenseless condition. More than seventy years have elapsed since the treaty,. of 1817 was entered into, and < with them have come changes which call for the abrogation of that agreement, if it is not already abrogau d. Vessels of two or three times the tonnage contemplated when the treaty was entered into can now make the passage from lake to lake, and the St. Lawrence Canal improvements will optm the way to the sea. The significance of this appears in .the fact that the route to tide water is almost wholly contiolled by Great Britain. In the event of war her vessels only could force a passage to the lakes. England now has in her navy 188 war vessels, with a total tonnage of 161,247, and carrying 875 heavy guns besides 1,000 of small caliber, rapid firing and machine guns, which could pass through the Welland Canal and enter the great lakes. Almost any dozen of them could control the entire chain of lakes, for they are new, fast and have the latest improvements, three-quarters of them having been built since 1885. With their •powerful long-range guns, a very few of these modern warships could inflict great damage or exact a corresponding indemnity. Some of them are always on the St. Lawrence, at Quebec or Montreal, while others are at Halifax and within easy call. If war threatened others could be placed at these or adjacent points, and at the first sound for the onset could be rushed through before it would be possible to prevent. It is claimed that the clause referred to of the treaty of 1817 had been abrogated and that the United States is no longer bound to refrain from the establishment of a navy on the lakes. An esteemed correspondent of the Iree Press, writing some weeks since from Chicago, called attention to the fact that a notice was given by the President in May, 1864, that the clause referred to should be terminated, and that Congress subsequently ratified his action. A reference to the public documents and proceedings of Congress bears out this statement In his message to Congress on'the 6th of December, 1864, President Lincoln said: - ‘ In view of the insecurity of life and property in the regions adjacent to the Canadian border, by reason of recent assaults and depredations committed by inimical and desperate persons who are harbored there, it has been thought proper to give notice that at the expiration of six months, the period conditionally stipulated in the existing arrangements with Great Britain, the United States must hold themselves at liberty to increase their naval armament on the lakes if they shall find that proceeding necessary. In February 1865 Congress approved the President’s action by adopting a resolution “that the notice given by the President of the United States to the Government of Great Britain and Ireland to terminate the treaty _of 1817 regulating the naval force on the lakes, is hereby adopted and ratified as if the same had been authorized by Congress. n It would seem, therefore, that there is no obstacle to proceeding at once to the better protection of our immense interests lying along the borders of the lakes by the construction here of a suitable naval arma j ment. If there was any flaw in the proceedings by which it was sought to terminate the treaty, the necessary steps should be taken over again, and at once, sb that t here may be no delay. War with England, as already stated, spems improbable; yet within the past Tew years public opinion has run high on several questions in dispute, and in the President’s message, there are matters referred to as in’ dispute, any one of which might lead to opon conflict. In any event this Government has noright to leave the western frontier exposed as it is.— Detroit Free Press. A Friend tn Need. The following stop', told of Thaddeus Stevens, illustrates his Jjind heart. Soon after .his removal to Lancaster ho heard of an old lawyer friend at York who. under pressing need and hope of replacing it, appropriated S3OO of a client’s money temporarily to his own use, and, like so many before and since his time. found it impossible to*replace it when the time came. Ruin and disgrace approached him. Stevens hunted up and paid the client with his own money, and with his receipt made directly to his friend's office. The old man sat before his desk bowed down with grief when Stevens entered. “Hello, qkl friend.'* he said, “you must wake up. Don’t be so downhearted. Say, don’t you think it possible yon have paid that note and then forgotten about it? Let me look. After a short pretense of hx>king through the receipts, Stevens gate a cry of triumph and held up the receipt he had just been given. The old friend wgs Aaved. and, withhis spirits, also fortube. But, though he pretended at the time to be deceived by Sttjven's rush, he did not forget, to repay, his friend , as soon as able.—Great Divide /’a’'
