It had been only a passing fancy

She could do nothing to elucidate this, and decked herself out with a heavy heart. As the appointed time drew near she got sight a.gain of her stepfather. She thought he was going to the King of Prussia: but no, he elbowed his way through the gay throng to the shop of: Woolfrey. •the draper. She waited in the crowd without.

Jn a few minutes he emerged, wearing, to her surprise, a brilliant rosette, while more surprising still, in his hand he carried a flag of somewhat homely construction, formed by tacking one (if the small union jacks, which abounded to-day, to the- end of a deal wand—probably the roller ftvm Henchard rolled doorstep, put it

Hence, alas, this occured: Lucetta's eyes slid over him to this sic^e and to that without anchoring on a feature—as gayly dressed women's eyes will often do on such occasions. Her manner signified quite plainly that she meant to know him in public no more.

But she never tired of watching Donald as he stood in animated converse with his friends a few yards off, wearing round his young neck the official gold chain with great stfuarc links like that round the royal unicorn. Every trifling emotion that her husband showed as he talked had its reflex on her face and lips, which moved in little duplicates to his. She was living his part rather than her own and cared for no one's situation but Farfrae's that day.

At length a man stationed at the furthest turn of the high road, namely, on the second bridge, of which mention has been made, gave a signal, and the corporation in their robtis proceeded from the front of the Town Hall to the archway erected at the entrance to „the town. The carriages containing the royal visitor and his suite arrived at the spot in a cloud* of dust,' a procession was formed ahd the whole came oi\ to the Town Hall at a walking pace.

This spot was the center of interest. Inhere were a few clear, y^rds in front of the royal carriage, and into this space a man stepped be-

It was not so at all. Donald's genius would have enabled him to get a footing anywhere, without anybody's help! Pie would have been just the same if there had been no Henchard in the world!"

It- was partly Lucetta's ignorance of the circumstances of Donald's arrival which led her to speak thus partly the sensation that everybody seemed bent on snubbing her at that triumphant time. The incident had occupied but a few moments, butt it was necessarily seen by the royal personage, who, however, with practiced tact, affected not to have noticed anything unusual. He alighted, the mayor advanced, the address was read, the visitor replied, then said a few words to Farfrae and shook hands with Lucetta, as the mayor's wife. The ceremony cccu-

"I do like to see the trimming pulled off such Christmas candles. I am

Nance did not reply, but everyone knew what she meant. The ideas diffused b.y the reading of Lucetta's letters at Peter's Finger had condensed into a scandal, which was spreading like a miasmatic fog in Mixen Lane, and thence up through the back streets of Casterbridge. .This mixed assemblage of idlers, known to each other, presently fell apart into two bands bv a process of natural selection, the frequenters of he."

Peter's Finger going off Mixen Lane ward, where most of them lived,' while Coney. Buzzford, Longways and that connection remained in the street,. "You know what's brewing down there, I suppose?" said Buzzford, mysteriously, to the others.

Coney looked at him. "Not the skimmitv ride?" Buzzford nodded. "I have my doubts if it will be carried out," said Longways. "If they are getting it up they are keeping it mighty close." "I heard they were thinking of it a fortnight ago, at all events." "If I were sure o't, I'd lay information," saifl Longways, emphatically. 'Tis too rough a joke, and apt to wake riots in towns. We know that the Scotchman is a right enough man, and that his lady has been a right enough woman since she came here, and if there was anything wrong about her afore, that's their business,-not ours."

Coney reflected. Farfrae was still liked in the community but it must be owned that, as the Mayor and man of money, engrossed with affairs and ambitions, he had lost, in the eyes of the poorer inhabitants, something of that wondrous charm which he had had for them as alighthearted, penniless young man, who sung ditties as readily as the birds in the trees. Hfence the finxiety to keep him from annoyance showed not quite the ardor that would have .animated it in former days. "Suppose we make inquiration in-

to it, Christopher," continued Leeways, "and if we find there's really anything in it, drop a letter to them most concerned and advise 'em to keep out of the way?"

The course was decided on, and the group separated, Buzzford saying to Coney: "Come, my ancient friend, let's move on. There's nothing more to be seen here."

These well-intentioned ones would have been surprised had they known how ripe the great jocular plot really was. "Yes, to-night," Jopp had said to the Peter's party at the corner of Mixen Lane. "As a wind-up to the royal visit, the hit will be all the more pat by reason of their great elevation to-day."

To him, at least, it was not a joke, but a reprisal.

CHAPTER XXXVIII.

The proceedings had been brief— too brief—to Lucetta, but they had brought her a great triumph, nevertheless. The shake of the royal hand stil' 'ingered in her fingers*and the chit-chat she had overheard, that her husband might possibly receive the honor of knighthood, though idle to a degree, seemed not the wildest vision stranger things had happened to men so good and captivating as her Scotchman was. x\fter the collision with the mayor, Henchard had withdrawn behind the lady's rostrum, and there he stood, regarding with a stare of abstraction the spot on the lapel of his coat where Farfrae's hand had rested. He put his own hand there, as if he could hardly realize such an outrage from one whom it had once been his wont to treat with ardent generosity. While pausing in this halfstupefied state, the conversation of Lucetta with the other ladies attracted his attention, and he distinctly heard her deny him—deny that he had assisted Donald, that he was anything more than a common journeyman.

He moved on homeward, and met Jopp in the archway to thb Bull Stake. "So you've had a snub," said Jopp. 'And what if I have?" answered Henchard, sternly. "Why. I've had one, too, so we're both under the same displeasure." He briefly related his attempt to win Lucetta's intercession.

how a coxcomb can front a man!" Without further reflection the fallen merchant, bent on some wild purpose, eat a hasty dinner, and I went forth to find Farfrae. After I being injured by him as a rival, and snubbed by him as an employe, the crowding degradation had been reserved for this day—that he should be shaken by the collar by him as a vagabond in the face of the whole. town.

The crowds had dispersed. But for the green arches which still stood as they were erected, CasterI bridge life had resumed ordinary shape. Henchard went down Corn street till became to Farfrae's house, where he knocked, and left the message that he would be glad to see his employer at the granaries as soon as he conveniently could come there,

Having done this, he proceeded round to the back, and entered the yard. I Nobody was present, for, as he had been aware, the laborers and carters were enjoying half-holiday I on account of the events of the day •—though the carters would have to return for a short time later on to I feed and litter down the horses. He had reached the granary steps, and was about to ascend, when he said to himself, aloud, "I'm stronger than

Henchaid returned to a shed, where he selected a short piece of rope from several pieces that were lying about hitching one end of this to a nail, he took the other in his right hand, and turned himself bodily round, whilfe keepinghis left arm by his side. By this eontriance he pinioned the latter effectively. He now wenlb up the ladders to the top floor of the corn stores.

It was empty, except a few sacks, and at the further end was the door often mentioned, opening under the cathead and chain that hoisted the sacks. He fixed the door open, and looked over the sill. There was a depth of thirty or forty feet to the ground. Here was the spot on which he had been standing with Farfrae when Elizabeth Jane had seen him lift his arm with, many misgivings as to what the movement portended. ..

Henchard merely heard the story, without taking it deeply in. His own relation to Farfrae and Lucetta overshadowed all kindred ones. He went on saying, brokenly, to himself, "She has supplicated to me in her time, and now her tongue won't own me *ior her eyes see me! And he—how angry he looked! He drove me back as and 'twas my duty, as the chief mag if I were a bull breaking fence. I took it like a lamb, for I saw it could not be settled there. He can rub brine on a green wound, he can.

He retired a few steps into the loft, and waited. From this elevated perch his eye could sweep the roofs round about, the upper part of the luxurious chestnut trees, now delicate in leaves of a week's age, and the drooping boughs of the limes, Farfrae's garden, anc' the green door leading therefrom. In courses of time—he could not say how long—that green door Opened, and Farfrae came through.. He was dressed as if for a journey.

ard watched him with his mouth firmty set, the squareness of his jaw and the verticality of his profile being unduly marked.

Farfrae came on with one hand in his pocket-, and humming a tune in a way which told that the words were most in his mind. They were those of the song he had sung when he arrived, years before, at the King of Prussia, a poor young man. adventuring for life'"and fortune, and scarcely knowing witherward. ="And here's a band, my trusty Here,

Eie's a hand o' thino."

Nothing moved Henchard like an old melody. He sunk back. "No, I can't do it," he gasped. "Why does the infernal fool begin that now?"

At length Farfrae was silent, and Henchard looked out of the left door. "Will ye come up here?" he said. "Ay, man," said Farfrae. "I couldn't see ye. What's amiss?"

A minute later Henchard heard his feet on the lowest ladder. He heard him land on the first floor, ascend and land on the second, begin the ascent to. the third. And then his head rose through the trap behind. "What are you doing up here at this time?" he asked, coming forward. "Why didn't ve take your holiday like the rest of the men?" He spoke in a tone which had just severity enough in it to show that he remembered the untoward event of the forenoon.

Henchard said nothing: but. going back, he closed the stair hatchway, and stamped upon it so that it went tight into its frame he next turned to the wondering young man, who by this time observed that one of Hen chard's arms was bound to his side. "Now," said Henchard quietly, "we stand face to face—man and man. Your money and your fine wife no longer lift ye above riie as they did but now, and my poverty does not press me down." "What does it all mean?" asked Farfrae, simply. "Wait a bit, my lad. You should have thought twice before vou affronted to extremity a man who had nothing to lose. I've borne your rivalry, which ruined me, and your snubbing, which humbled me but your hustling, that disgraced me, I won't stand!"

Farfrae warmed a little at this. "Yed no business there," he said. "As much as any one among ye. What, you forward stripling, tell a man of mv age he'd no business there?" The anger-vein swelled in his forehead as he spoke.

You insulted royalty, Henchard:

istrate, to stop ye." "Royalty be d," said Henchard. "I am as loyal as you. come to that." "I am not here to argue. Wait till you are cool, wait till you are cool, and you will see things as I do." "You may be the one to cool first," said Henchard, grimly. "Now this is the case. Here bo we, in this four-square loft, to finish out that little wrestle you began this morning. There's the door, forty foot above ground. One of us two puts the other out by that door— the master bides inside, if he likes he may go down afterward and give the alarm that the other has fallen out bj\accident—or he may tell the truth—that's his business. As the strongest man, I've tied one arm to take no advantage of ye. D'ye understand? Then here's at 'ee!"

There was no time for Farfrae to do aught but one thing—to close with Henchard immediately, for the latter had come on at once. It was a wrc-stling match, the object of each being to give his antagonist a back fail, and on Hen chard's part unquestionably, that it should be through the door.

At the outset Henchard's hold by his only spare hand, the right, was on the left side of Farfrae's collar, which he firmly grappled, the latter holding Henchard by his collar with the contrary hand. With his' right he endeavored to get hold of his antagonist's left arm. which, however, he could not do, so adroitly did Henchard keep it in the rear as he gazed upon the lowered eyes of his fair slim antagonist.

Henchard planted the first toe forward, Farfrae crossing him with his and thus far the struggle had very much the appearance of the ordinary wrestling of those parts. Several minutes were passed by them in this attitude, the pair rocking and writhing like trees in a gale, both preserving an absolute silence. By this time their breathing could be heard. Then Farfrae tried to get hold of the other side of Henchard's collar, which was resisted by the larger man exerting all his force in a wrenching movement, and this part of the struggle ended by his forcing Farfrae down on his knees by sheer pressure of one of his muscular arms. Hampered as he was, however, he could not keep him there, and Farfrae finding his feet again, the struggle proceeded as before.

By a fearful whirl Henchard brought Donald dangerously near the precipice seeing his position the Scotchman for the first time locked himself to his adversary, and all the efforts of that infuriated Prince of Darkness—as he might have been called from his appearance just now—were inadequate to lift or loosen him for a time. By an extraordinary effort he succeeded at ilast, though not until they had got far back again from the fatal door.

-his.fret wrenching Henchard's arm considerably, and causing him sharp pain, as could be seen from the twitching of his face. He instantly delivered the younger man an annihilating turn by the left fore-hip, as it is expressed, aud following up his advantage thrust him toward the door, never loosening his hold till Farfrae's fair head was hanging over the window sill, and his arm dangling down outside the wall. "Now," said Henchard, between grasps, "this is the end of what you began this morning. Your life is in my hands." "Then take it," said Farfrae. "You've wished to long,"

Henchard looked down upon him in silence, and their eyes met. "Oh. Farfrae—that's not true!" he said, bitterly. "God is my witness, that, no man ever loved another as I did thee at one time. And now—though I came here to kill 'ce, I cannot hurt thee. Go and give me in charge—do what you will—I care nothing for what comes of me."

He withdrew to the back part of the loft, and flung himself in^o a corner upon some sacks in th abandonment of remorse. Farfra:- regarded him in silence then \ve :t to the hatch, and descended through it till lost to view. Henchard would fain have recalled him. but Ids tongue failed in its task, and the young man's steps died on his ear.

Henchard took his full measure of shame and seif reproach. The scenes of his first acquaintance with Farfrae rushed upon him—that time when the curious mixture of romance and thrift in the young man's composition so commanded his heart that Farfrae could play upon him as on an instrument.. So thorough!v subdued was he that he remained on the sacks in a crouching aUitude. unusual for a man, and for such a man. Its womanliness sat 1 ragicaliv on the figure of so stern a pieje of virility. He heard a conversation below, the opening of the coachhouse door. and the putting in of a horse, but took no notice.

Here he staved till the thin shadethickened to opaque obscurity, and the loft door became an oblong grav light—the only visible shape around. At length he arose, shook the duM from his clothes wearily, felt his way to the hatch, and gropingly doscended the steps till he stood in the yard. "He thought highly of me once,' he murmured. "Now he'll hate aud despise me forever!"

He became possessed by an overpowering wish to see Farfrae again that night., and by some d"sp..'rate pleading attempt the well-nigh impossible task of winning pardon for his late mad attack. But as he walked toward Farfrae's door, he recalled the unheeded doings in the yard while he had lain above in a sort of stupor. Farfrae he remembered had gone to the stable aud put the horse into the gig while doing so Whitt-lebone had brought him a letter Farfrae had then said that he would not go toward iludmouth as he had intended, that he was unexpectedly summoned to Weatherbury. and meant to call at Mellstockon his way thither, that place lying but three or four miles out of his course.

He must have come prepared for a journey when he first arrived in the yard, unsuspecting enmity and he must have driven off (though in a changed direction) without saying a word to any one on what had occurred between themselves.

It would therefore be useless to call at Faifrae's house till very late.

There was no help for it but to wait till his return, though waiting was almost a torture to his restless and self-accusing soul. He- walked about the streets and outskirts of the town, lingering here and there till he reached the stone bridge of which mention has been made—an accustomed halting-place with him now. Here he spent a long time, the purl of waters through the wear meeting his ear. and the Casterbridge lights glimmering at no great distance off.

While leaning thus upon the parapet, his listless attention was awakened by sounds of an unaccustomed kind from the town quarter. They were a confusion of rhythmical noises, to which the streets added yet more confusion by encumbering them with echoes. His first incurious thought that the clangor arose from the town band, engaged in an attempt to round off a memorable day by a burst of evening harmony, was contradicted by certain peculiarities of reverberation. But inexplicability did not rouse him to more than a cursory heedfulness: his sense of degradation was too strong for the admission of foreign ideas and he leaned against the parapet as before.

CARNEGIE'S CONTRACTS.

Government Collects Over #100,000 dtmnity for Violations.

Secretary Herbert. Monday, sent to tho House a communication, in answer to the resolution calling for the same, giving details of the violation of contracts by Carlegie, Phipps & Co., of Pittsburg, in the manufacture, of armor plates for the navy. The Secretary details the manner in which the frauds were discovered. James Smith, an attorney, of Pittsburg, last September notified th' JJavy Department that certain employes of Carnegie, Phipps & Co. had in their possession evidence that the Government was boing defrauded, which they would produce if sufficient inducements were offered. The Attorney-Gen-eral found that the department might contract with these men, and a contract was entered into agreeing to give, them 25 per cent, of the money received in consideration of the fact that they would, of course, be discharged, be blacklisted, and that other employes from whom they could procure information would also lose their places. Particulars are then given showing that naval inspectors were dishonestly dealt with, and details of all the proceedings by the department which led up to the appointment, of a board to investigate the irregularities. The matter was brought to the attention of tho President, who carefullv reviewed the evidence and decided that the company should refund ?Hi.4S!i. Mr. Ifriclc was notified and came to Washington. A settlement was effected by the Carnegie company paying into the Hank of Pittsburg the sum of 11 to the. credit of the employes whose testimony led to tho discovery of the frauds, ami by giving credit vouchers upon existing contracts with the government to the amount of SIO.V'C-O. No money whatever passed through the hands of the Navy Department. Tho Secretary states that throughout, the whole of this transaction nothing occurred to show tii.it any oflicer of the navy had been guilty of conniving at any of these, irregularities. Neither is there anything whatever to snow that any director of the company had any knowledgo of the transactions herein set forth. Tho department has redoubled its vigilance at all lints, and wherever night.work is being dene

Plaintiff in the famous Pollard-Hreclcen-ridge brcach-of-promise case now on trial at Washington, D. C.

TheCoxey brigade moved eastward from Louisville, Tuesday forenoon, in spite of the cold waather and arrived at Maximo at 10:10. Not to exceed a dozen people turned out to witness their arrival. Those of the crusaders who were provided with horses led them, preferrinc to walk on account of the. cold. The army reached Alliance at 12:45 o'clock, footsore and weary. A begging expedition was organized to solicit aid. Clothing and other supplies were asked for, but little, was obtained. No dinner and only cheese, bread, potatoes and black coffee tor supper caused much grumbling. Gen. Coxey took tho train at Alliance for Chicago to attend to urgent business, promising to return and join the army, Wednesday. TJrowne, who has acted as Coxey's lieutenant,announced publicly that-when his chief left for Chicago he had barely enough money to buy his ticket. Jie left tho Commonweal treasury empty.

N'OTKS.

Senator PelTer was interviewed at Washington, Tuesday. He thinks tho Coxey movement foolish and childish. Ho says there is nothing in the crusade to commend it to thinking people. Mr. Peffcr says there will be no trouble at Washington should the army hold together and reach that city. t,

COMMANDFJi COXF.T.

A Pittsburg man has sworn out an attachment against Coxey and the papers will be served when the army reaches that place. The claim is for $."00 and is based on notes given by Coxey for an old locomotive.

Senator Stewart, who received a lengthy communication, Monday, from Coxey in reeard to tho interests of his army, will not reply, and says the wholo thing is illadvised and will bring suffering and hardr ships on a great many people.

Freight trains bound eastward on many lines are reported to be infected with tramps trying to beat their way to join tho commonweal crusade. At Pittsburg the railroad officials wero kept busy all of Monday night trying to keep tho Union Station clear of tramps.

Gov. McKinloy was interviewed at Chicago on tho commonweal army, and said: "At first I was inclined to treat tho Coxoy movement with seriousness, for it might have been a most important affair, but now1it bears the imprint of a joke. How. everthe Ohio authorities aro capable oi tatci^ of the situation."
