Story of English Life.

By JOSEPH (CHAPTER IV. Continued.) J At the same time Dick had no greair admirer than Andrew Foster, for the very reason that Morley admired his niece. Dick had qualities Foster did not possess, resources he could not understand, was always merry, and combined with the manners and appearance of a prince, rare generosity. Unfortunately for the continuation of Foster's good opinion, Dick had of late made nothing and spent much, his gallantries being as expensive as his personal extravagance in other directions. Moreover, he had recently endangered both Foster's neck and his own by a piece of unnecessary recklessness that had rendered it desirable they should seek fresh woods and pastures new for their future operations. This had brought them into Yorkshire; and their quarry, as Foster called it. was this very Dillingham who had supped in the same room with them, and had been spotted by Dick with his usual promptitude. The next morning when they were getting up the travelers had an interesting conversation. "He is going to Newcastle." said Foster; "on his return he will stop at York." "Yes," said Dick. "Black Diston will shadow him meanwhile, and we will meet him at a convenient bend in the road n'ir the abbey if the time is convenient." "The money is not in doubt?" "Not in the least: we have information from a clerk in the bank." "The young fellow we drank -rith at Leeds last night?" "You are devilish quick the same." "Ah, now you are quite well aguin, Andy; you have not paid me a compli ment for a week." "I hope to pay you several brfore the month is out. and to see ourselves provided for the winter." "Always practical." said Dick; "and between now and the Bellingham incident, what is your proposal?" "The program is yours, not mine. We move on today, get acquainted vrith the roads, visit Harrogate, take a glance at York, and make dispositions for retreat to Whitby, where a sloop will be lying at anchor for us." "You will forgive me if I change the program." "Change it-" exclaimed Foster; "it ts a settled scheme, and we are on it. And I never made a more complete plan of retreat nor a longer one. by your own wish." "I shall take up my quarters here during those ten days." "Then by all the oaths which bind as I will not forgive you " said Foster, hissing the words between his broken teeth. "Why not?" asked Dick, paying more than usual attention to his toilet. "Because you are at the old game; and I will neither be ruined nor hanged for you, exeppt in the way of business though, mark me, Dick, I will not tamely give you up. You are necessary to this work it has got to be done. When it is done, you can come and stay here until you rot; for, whatever happens, I have done with you when this job is over." "Ther is something wrong, truly." said Dick. "I have thought so many timesthis six weeks; you talk so much and so fast reticent Andy, we used to call you loquacious would be more truthful now." "I mean business. Dick never so much as cn this occasion and neither beaven nor hell nor you shall stop me, and if it comes to a quarrel between you and me. let it come only don't forget that it ends one of us." Foster spoke with calm, brutal deliberation. His manner and his language evidently made an unusual impression on the younger traveler, who paused while buckling his shoes, looked up into the sinister face of his companion and bit his lip as if to stop an angry retort. "Your language is as ugly as your face," said Dick; "you show your teeth like Wild's bull terrier before she springs. What is it? Shall we go out and have a shooting match in the yard, and introduce a funeral into the outdoor entertainment of Kirkstall, or what other delightful surprise have you in store for the natives?" "I mean friendship, honor, share and share alike; or I mean what we all mean when a comrade turns traitor." "Who is conducting this business?" asked Dick, standing up and confronting Foster. "Up to now, you." "Then listen. I have other schemes beyond the Bellingham business which you will be good enough to allow me to develop in my own way. It is my intention for the next week or so to fish in the Aire. I shall go into Leeds in the morning and buy bait and tackle; you will amuse yourself a3 you please in the meantime. I think you should reconnoiter Harroeate and York study the roads I "will be ready to join you when you want me." "I know you well enough," said Foster, "to underestand this change of front. I have said all I Intend to say you know me well enough to know what I mean. I am friend or foe, as you elect friend to the death, foe to the death. You are in command; If tha affair miscarries through you it will be our last campaign, and " "That 13 enough, Mr. Andrew Foster. I hare stood your insolence and your threats for auld lang syne you have Inflicted them upon me because I hare been friend enough to go a 8tp btyond our rights of share and share alike. I owe you a little money It Is only the low-born cur who erres his friend and mentions It we will call a true on this quarrel; but you shall answer It! And now let It stop, or. If you were fifty times my comrade and fifty times Andrew Foster, I would strangle you where you ctsad." Am he cpoke, the yorag man, by a

Curse you for a huckstering wretch!" CHAPTKIt V. Andy writhed under the young man's grip and words, grew livid and was clearly afraid. Suddenly releasing him. Dick flung him to the ground, and drew a pistol from his breeches pocket. Foster looked up for a moment, then gathered himself together and arose to his feet. He did not speak; neither did Dick. The deadly silence was at last broken by Dick. "Am I the chief?' he said, replacing his weapon. "You are the chief." Fester replied. "This is our first serious quarrel, let it be our last." said Dick. "It shall." Foster replied; "the man who can twist Andrew Foster about as if he were a weathercock is good enough to follow." "You think so. truly? And no knife in your thoughts, no knife or pistol on a dark night when your man is off his guard?" "I am sincere," said Foster, thoroughly cowed. "Your hand on it." Foster put out his hand. Dick took it. and as he pressed it in a peculiar way repeated part of the oath which bound the little company of so-called merchants together. "And whosoever he sha'l break his oath of fealty to the thief then and there in authority, his life shall be forfeit and may be taken by one and all; or. failing this just execution, he shall be deserted by all in the hour of his need." "Those are the words. I think?" "They are." said Foster. "You still subscribe to them?" I do." "Then it is I who spare your life. Andy: not you who snare mine, eh?" "That is so." said the red-eyed sneak. "And we will forget all that has occurred to shake our tempers in Kirkstall." "And at Leeds." said Foster, ready to make the amends more complete. "We are friends, comrades, brothers, once more." said Dick, with a pleasant smile. "After breakfast you will go on your way at the end of the week you will report yourself. I will meet you six days hence at York a mile this side the last turnpike, at 9." "Right!" said Foster: and such is discipline, when enforced by authority combined with superior skill and strength, that, half an hour afterwards the young traveler and his friend were breakfasting together as amicably as if there had never been the shadow of a cloud upon their intercourse. They preferred to eat in the private loom that overlooked the high road; Dellingham and two other guests in the general room. It wasc a cozy, wainscoated apartment, this private room that flanked the bar. and matched it with a large bow-window, which commanded a fine view of Kirkshall Abbey, with the Aire and a stretch of green meadows in the foreground, and in the distance glimpses of the river as it flowed in crystal beauty thiough one of the loveliest valleys in England. As the two travelers were finishing their morning meal they were attracted by Tom Sheffield, the man of all work, leading to the door a smart ccb. which was followed by a young fellow mounted upon a similar animal, the sturdy countryman vaulting out of his saddle to assist a merry-looking girl into hers. Not that Mary required his aid. She took his hands, nevertheless. It was offered with the grace of a perfect horseman. Jack Meadows was Yorkshire born and bred, and if there is one thing a Yorkshireman can do better than any other man it is to ride a horse, and if there is one thin a Yorkshireman knows more than any other it is a good horse when he sees it. Jack Meadows was a rough farmer; he sat with the dignity of an Indian and the confidence and ease of a huntsman. He wore his velveteen jacket, drab breeches, figured stock, and all that, and smiled proudly at Mary as her horse curveted and showed its points, and her own. "For a spin to Jack's farm," said Mary, answering her uncle, who stood in an attitude of admiration at the inn door, "to see the new colt; and we will be back half an hour before the coach." "Very well." said the old man, "be in time for the coach, and you'll be in time for nie, Mary. How are you. Jack?" "Fine morning, Mr. Morley," said Jack. "Very well, thank you, sir." Old Morley liked to have Jack Meadows address him as "sir," and ho favored his suit for Mary. "Do you think your change of program will work?" Foster asked as Dick caught Mary's eye from the window and waved his hand to her. "I think so," said Dick, as well he might, if the conquest of Mary occupied the Important place In his program, which Foster thought it did; for Dick was quick to note the flush that stared fresh and ruddy upon Mary's cheek as she responded to his salute with a bend of her graceful head, and the sweet parting of her lips Into a pleasant smile. "He is a stalwart-looking chap," said Foster. "The young countryman?" remarked Dick interrogatively, as if Foster might be speaking of some one else. "Her lorer," said Foster. "Do you think he is her lover?" "Don't you?' asked Foster. "No; but you seem to think she Is the cause of my change of plans." "You object to my thinking?" said Foster. "When you doubt the truth and di

rection of to officer you have sworn to obey." "Yes; discipline is as necessary In our work as it is in the army; that Is Wild's motto, and yours sometimes." "Always," said Dick. "We shall see. But I am off to study the ground, and you will find me this night week, as you order, three miles this side the Jait York toll gate, at nine." With which parting remark Foster left the room, paid his bill, ordered his horse, and presently cantered into the highway, past the little Hark-to-Rover inn.

CHAPTER VI. As they rode away Jack said, "Who is the foreign-looking noodle who waved his hand from the parlor window?" lie had caught sight of Dick Parker, as Mary turned her horse's hea toward the valley, and he noticed the blush which heightened her color ac she bowed to the stranger. "He's no noodle." said Mary. "On the contrary. I should say he can see as far through a stone wall as most." "Oh!" said Jack, "you have talked with him?" "Not exactly; I have heard him talk." "Got the gift of gab, eh?" remarked Jack scornfully. "Seems to have got many gifts," Mary replied. "His father's a nobleman; he has been In the wars, escaped in a merchantman through the French cruisers, lives in London, is traveling for pleasure, and also to see his father. He likes fishing, thinks he will stay a week or two at Kirkshall. rides well, knows all about horses, and foreign countries, has fought a duel and is as handsome as a picture." Before Jack could reply Mary put her cb into a gallop, and went spinning along the road with her thoughts and fancies all centered in the youn" stranger at the inn. Jack followed his mind already in open revolt against the stranger, and ready to pick a prompt quarrel with him about horses, foreign parts, French cruisers or anything else. "'Handsome is as handsome does." is a good Yorkshire proverb," Jack said as soon as Mary pulled up again. "Yes; and ! daresay it makes for him as well as if he were Yorkshire," said Mary. "I know nothing to the contrary." "I never seed a French spy," said Jack, "but he's uncommonly like the sort of chap they talk o'f." "Who talks of?" "Why, old Thompson and Jim Renshaw. who've both been in the wars." (To be continued) AWED BY A LEG What Most Surprised the Ilmlrihltt I. mj on 111 Travels in .Japan. The Buddhist lama of Pekin, who has just completed a tour of Japan, seems to have confined his travels heretofore to Thibet and China. In Japan the lama was entertained by Count. Okuraa at his country estate, the residence on which was destroyed by firo not long ago. As the new building was not complete the feast was spread in marquees set about under the trees. While Okuraa and his guests were conversing the lama observed something unusual about one of the count's legs. The latter, observing this, had the interpreter inform the lama that the limb was an artificial one. Had the amazement with which this ws received been manifested by a less august personage than the Buddhist prelate of Pekin it must certainly have been amusing to those about him. But Count Okuma hastened to explain. Even then the lama seemed incredulous, and it was not until he hud examined the artificial leg critically, felt it with his own hands and studied the workings of its joints, that he seemed satisfied of the correctness of what had been told him. Then he gave free expression to his astonishment. He said that surgery had not reached a point in either Thibet or China enabling them to perform such operations as Count Okuma had undergone, nor had the artisans of either country attempted the manufacture of such wonderful contrivances as wooilen legs, the pliant joints of which enabled their possessors to go about almost as freely as if they had all the original members. Baltimore Sun. The Murderer and Capt, Ilyrnei. McGloln was a young ruffian who had murdered a saloonkeeper at a midnight raid on his place. He was the fellow who the night before he was hanged invited the chief of detectives to "come over to the wake; they'll have a devil of a time." For six months Byrnes had tried everything to bring the crime home to him, but in vain. At last he sent out and had McGloln and his two "pals" arrested, but so that none of them knew of the plight of the others. McGloin was taken to Mulberry street, and orders were given to bring the others in at a certain hour fifteen or twenty minutes apart. Byrnes put McGloin at the window in his ofliee while he questioned him. Nothing could be got out of him. As he sat there a door was hanged below. Looking out he saw one of his friends led across the yard in charge of policemen. Dyrnes, watching him narrowly, saw his cheek blanch: hut still his nerv! held. Fifteen minute.s passed; another door banged. The murderer, looking out, saw his other pal led in a prisoner. Ho looked at Byrnes. The chief nodded. "Sqealed. both." It was a lie, and It cost ti'o man his life. "The jig is up, then," he said, and told the story that brought him to the gallows. Jacob Riis in the Outlook. Varying It.

Baker he announced that he j wou.it nice tin appoinimoni. i w o weeks aeo Mr. Marsh visiteu the ;nsion office in Washington and acquainted himself in a general way ! with the duties he will have to perform. Owing to the alarming increase in crime among the juvenilis of Indianapolis a separate police court has been established, and in addition a new institution, along the industrial school lines, will be opened within the next few days. This decision has been uinounced by Police Judge Stubbs. who declared that the problem presented by the rapidly increasing number of youthful offenders has grown so serious in the last six months that immediate steps are necessary to suppress the epidemic of crime. The separate court has been established for the purIKise of preventing the Inns from being thrown into contact with the older and more hardened criminals. Night Watchman William Kay shot and killed a burglar at Suinmitville. The burglar's pal, who was robbing a saloon, escaped. Two months ago Miss Kdna Keener of Logansport stopped a Panhandle train from going through a burning trestle. Her bravery saved the lives of the passengers and train crew. With the latter was John Driver, a brak'man. The accident and rescue brought Driver and Miss Keener together and the heroine Friday was married to the man whom she had rescued from death. Captain Applegate testified in the ftathbun trial at Jefferson ville that Kathbun admitted when arrested that he did not give Goodman laudanum, but intended to administer chloroform later. Dr. L. B. Kastenbine. an analytical chemist of Louisville. who held a post-mortem to determine whether poison had caused Goodman's death, testified that nothing was discovered to indicate that poison was administered. Th'ie were no signs of violence on any parts of the body. When the question was put by the prosecution as to the probabio cause of Goodman's death Dr. Kastenbin' replied that chloroform may have been the cause of death. The will of Miss Caroline Bathbone. formerly of Fvansville. who died in Clifton Springs. N. Y.. provides for the building in F.vansville of a home for aged women of Indiana. Th' home will cost $100.000 or more.

An overheated pipe started a fire in the Howard county court house, which was suppressed by the court house employes after a lively scramble. The fire department was called out, only to find the water hydrants in that vicinity frozen. The largest single line of fire insurance ever placed in Wabash has been taken by the Phoenix of Hartford. It covers the Pioneer hat-works and is for 1100,000. The Phoenix distributes the risk among a half dozen leading companies. Morris Wiest, a Pan-Handle brakeman, was run over in the Richmond yards Monday and instantly killed. He was 22 years old. Louise Kngel. of UiPorte. who has been treated by a number of city physicians for a supposed incurable disease, Monday coughed up a pin which she had swallowed several years ago. The pin had traveled through her body, causing her intense suffering. ,F)r months she was unable to lay on her back, and for another period she suffered intense pain in the region of her heart. Little hope was offered the family for her recovery, but with the ejection of the foreign substance her convalescence is now expected. One of the boilers furnishing motive power in the Indiana bottle works at Shirley collapsed and Frank Bouslog had his clothing torn off and was prostrated by the shock. The building was considerablj- damaged. A committee from Grcensh.irg has gone to Washington to urge the re-ap-pointinent of J. E. Caskey as postmaster of that city. His present term expires in February. Gardiner Beehe, CO years old, who whipped his wife, has been fined $25 and costs by Mayor Schwartz of HuntIngburg.
