MATT TALE OF A CARAVAN

BY ROBERT BUCHANAN

CHAPTER XV.— Continued. At this moment Matt, looking bright as sunshine, leaped out of the caravan. “There’s my proof,” said Marshall. “Miss Monk, this amiable bridegroom of yours denies being concerned in tanning Mr. Charles Brinkley. Is he telling the truth?” Matt’s face darkened, and she looked at Monk with eyes of cordial detestation. “No,” she said; “he’s lying.” “Matt,” cried Monk, fiercely, “take *are! * “He’s lying,” she repeated, not heeding him. “I see him do it with my own two eyes, and I see William Jones helping him and looking on; they thought that no one was nigh, but I was. I was hiding behind them sacks and barrels in the cave.” Monk now felt that the game was almost up, for he was beset on every aide, and the very ground seemed opening under his feet. The wretched Jones, in a state bordering on frenzy, remained on his knees, wailing over his ruin. The two strangers, Lightwood and Marshall, looked on as calm but interested spectators. Matt, having delivered her home-thrust of accusation, stood and gazed into Monk’s lace with cool defiance. “It is a plot!” Monk cried, presently, “an infamous plot to ruin me! You have been tampering, I see, with this wild girl, whom you foolishly suppose kin to me by blood. Arrest me, if you please—l shall not take the trouble to resist, for I am perfectly innocent in this matter.” He added, while they looked at one another as if somewhat puzzled: “As to the girl’s relationship with my dead cousin, the very idea is absurd. Where are the proofs of her birthright?” “Here,” said a quiet voice. Monk turned his eyes and started back in wonder, while William Jones shrieked and fell forward on his face. Standing before them in the sunshine was—the reality or the semblance of—the murdered young man of the caravan!

CHAPTER XVL THE “MUBDEHED” MAM. Yes, it was the artist himself, looking a little pale and carrying one arm in a sling, but otherwise, to all appearance, in good health. Monk had strong nerves, but he sould not preVent himself from uttering a wild cry of horror and wonder. At the same moment Matt went to the young man’s side, and, with an air of indescribable trust and sweetness, took his hand—the hand which was free—and put it to her lips. “The proof is here,’ he said, calmly; “here upon my person. lam not quite dead, you see, Mr. Monk, of Monkshurst, and I thought I should like to oring it to you myself. It consists, as you are aware, of Col. Monk’s dying message, written on the fly-leaf of his prayerbook, and of the marriage certificate of his wife, both these having been placed upon his child’s person, concealed by the unsuspecting and illiterate Jones, and found by me after a lapse of many years.” Monk did not speak; his tongue was frozen. He stood aghast, opening and shutting his clinched hands spasmodically and shaking like a leaf. Keassured to some extent by the sound of the voice, unmistakably appertaining

"I AM NOT QUITE DEAD, MR MONK, OF MONKSHURST.”

to a person of flesh and blood, William Jones gradually uplifted his face and looked in ghastly wonder at the speaker. “You will be anxious to ascertain,” proceeded Brinkley, with his old air of lightness, “by what accident, or special Providence, I arose from the grave in which you politely entombed me? The explanation is very simple. My young friend here, Matt, the foundling, or, as I should rather call her, Miss Monk, of Monkshurst, came to my assistance, attended to my injuries, which were not so serious as you imagined, ana enabled me before daybreak to gain the kindly shelter of my caravan. Tine and a certain rural doctor did the rest. \am Borry to disappoint you, Mr. Monk, but I felt bound to keep my promise—to interfere aerioualy with your little arrangements if

jam persistently refused to do Justiwa to this young lady.” As he spoke, Monk uttered a savage oath and rushed towards the road; but M arshall was after him in a moment and sprang upon him. There was a quick struggle. Suddenly Monk drew a knife, opened it and brandished it in the air; so that it would have gone ill with his assailant if the herculean Tim, coming to the rescue, had not pinioned him from behind. In another moment the knife was lying on the grass and Monk was neatly handcuffed by the detective. “Now, governor, you’d better take it quietly!” said Marshall, while Monk struggled and gnashed his teeth in impotent rage. “You’re a smart one, you are, but the game’s up at last.” Monk recovered himself and laughed fiercely. “Let me go! Of what do you accuse me? It was murder just now, but since the murdered person is alive (d —n him!) I should like to know on what charge you arrest me.” “Oh, there’s no difficulty about that!” said Brinkley, looking at him superciliously. “In the first place you have by fraud and perjury possessed yourself of what never legally belonged to you. In the second place, you attempted murder, at any rate. But upon my life, I don’t think you are worth prosecuting. I think, Mr. Marshall, you might let him go.” * “Its letting a mad dog loose, sir,” replied Marshall. “He’U hurt somebody.” “What do you say, Miss Monk?” said Brinkley. “This amiable looking person is your father’s consin. Shall I release your bridegroom in order that you may go with him to the altar of Hymen and complete the ceremony?” “I hate him!” cried Matt; “I should like to drown him in the sea." Brinkley laughed. “Your sentiments are natural, but un-Christian. And the gentle Jones, now, who is looking at you so affectionately, what would you do with him? Drown him in the sea too?”

“No, no, Matt,” interposed; William Jones, abjectly; “speak up for me, Matt. I ha’ been father to yon all these years.” Matt seemed perplexed what to say. So Brinkley again took up the conversation. “On reflection we will refer William Jones to his friends, the ‘coast-guard chaps.’ I think he will be punished enough by the distribution of his little property in the cave. Eh, Mr. Jones?” Jones only wrung his hands and wailed, thinking of his precious treasure. “And so, Matt,” continued Brinkley, “there will be no wedding after all. I’m afraid you’re awfully disappointed!” Matt replied by taking his hand again, raising it to her lips, and kiss-

“SUPPOSE WE SPEND OUR HONEYMOON IN A CARAVAN.”

ing it fondly. The young man turned his head away, for his eyes had suddenly grown full of grateful tearsCONCLUSION. My tale is told. The adventure of the caravan has ended. Little more remains to be said. Monk, of Monkshurst, was not brought to trial for his iniquities, but he was sorely enough punished by the loss of his ill-gotten estates. Before the claim of the foundling was fully proved he left England never to return. Whether he is alive or dead I cannot tell.

William Jones, too, escaped legal punishment. A severer retribution came upon him in the seizure and disposal of the hoards in the great cave. So sorely did he take his loss to heart that he crept to his bed and had an attack of brain fever. When he reappeared on the scene of his old plunderings his intellect was weakened, and he showed curious evidences of imbecility. But the ruling passion remained strong within him. I saw him only last summer, rambling on the seashoro, talking incoherently to himself and watching the sea in search of wreckage as of old. And Matt? Well, her title to Monkshurst and the property was fully proved. For a long time she did not realize her good fortune, but gradually the pleasant truth dawned upon her in a sunrise of nice dresses, jewelry and plenty of money. Chancery stepped in like a severe foster parent and sent her to school. There she remained for several years; but Charles Brinkley, who had first taken in hand the vindication of her claims, ana who never ceased to be interested in her, saw her from time t<> time and took particular note of her improvement in her grammar and in the gentle art of speech. “Matt,” he said, when they met last Christmas in London, and when he saw before him, insteady of a towsy girl, as bright and buxom a young lady as ever wore purple raiment and fine linen, “Matt, you are ‘growed-up’ at last!” Matt b’ushed and hung her head, with a touch of the old manner. “Yes, I am grown, as you say. I wonder what William Jones would think if ho saw me now.” “And if he noticed these pretty boots, Matt, and heard yon play the piano and prattle a little in French. Upon my word, it’s a transformation! Yon always were r> nice girl, though.” “Bo yon really think *aV" asked

X*tV ffhylj. “DM jam always thfim ■or’ “Certainly." “Even when I told yon I liked jam so much, and you told me *it wouldn’t do?’” It was Brinkley’s torn to blush now. It was clear that Matt, despite other changes, stUl retained her indomit able frankness. “Even then,” he replied, laughing. “But I say you were a precocious youngster. You proposed to m, you know!” “I know I did,” said Matt, “and it wasn't leap year then.” She added still more shyly; “But it’s leap year now!” Their eyes met. Both blushed more and more. “Matt, don’t! It won’t do, you know! Yes, I say so stiU. You’re a rich woman and I’m only a poor devil of a painter. Yon must marry some great sweU.” But Matt replied: “I shall never marry anyone but you!” “You won’t? Do you mean it?” “Of course I do.” He caught her in his arms. “My darling Matt—yes, I shaU call you by that dear name to the end of the chapter. You love me, then? I can’t believe it!” “I have loved you,” she answered, laughiDg,“‘ever since I first came—‘to be took!’ ” And she rested her head on his shoulder just as she had done in the old days when she wap an unsophisticated child of nature. “So there’s to be a wedding after all,” he said, kissing her. “Matt, I’ve an idea!” “Yes?” “When we marry suppose we arrange to spend the honeymoon in—a caravan!”

A BACHELOR’S SOLILOQUY.

He la Supremely Contented la His Single Blessedness. I do not marry for many reasons. One reason is that I am of a very as fectionate temperament. I feel quite sure that it is better for mo to love all women, as I do now, than to have to profess to love but one woman—my wife. Let me think of some more reasons. As a bachelor I get a great many invitation cards and pleasant attentions wherever I go. My married friends don’t have anything like as much luck, and their wives make them angry by wondering why it is so. It is exceedingly nice when I dine out to be paired off with an unmarried girl. My married friends look across the table at me enviously. Any sort of married “frump” is good enough for them. As I am, I can do exactly as I like; go to bed at nine or three at my own sweet will, and breakfast in bed or up at any hour. Most husbands can by no means do as they please, even in so small a matter as this. They are expected to be at home by ten or eleven o’clock, or face cold coffee, cold eggs, cold toast and cold looks next morning. Every married man marries for himself—for his pleasure and comfort. Am Ito blame if I choose to remain single for the same purpose? There is no absurder cant than the talk about it being a man’s duty to the race to take a wife.

Of course, too, there is the dreadful possibility of the marriage turning out iIL It is next to impossible for a man to say definitely: “I can be happy with such a woman for my wife.” I know sweet young girls who five years from their wedding day were untidy, coarse, negligent women, even openly loving their children to the neglect of their husbands, or openly indifferent to both husband and children. This sort of thing is frightful to think of. Married men in some cases seem to get used to it, but it wearies and kills the brighter part of them. I do not write altogether as a novice in matters of the heart. I have been in love over and over again. Somehow, though, I have always put off popping the question until some other fellow has done it on his own account. Of all these girls whom I might have married, only obc now, as a married woman, seems to answer the expectations I bad formed of her. The realization of this makes me more and more fond of my bachelor freedom and irresponsibility. Besides, I have a gray hair or two, and my habits are getting fixed. An astonishing number of men like myself remain single for reasons much like those I have mentioned. Unmarried, we have one bird in the bandcontentment How can vs tell that we may 'get Hold of that gay, longtailed paroquet in the bush—married felicity, if we suddenly change our state? There is an ideal woman I should like to marry. Some day I may meet with some one who is tolerably like her. Then, if lam not too old, I will woo her.—Cassell’s Magazine.

OPENS HIS CAMPAIGN.

Cel. Breckinridge Asks for Reelectlou to Congress. Lexington, Ky., May B.—CoL Breckinridge made his first speech in his campaign for reelection to congress to an enormous crowd in this city. After referring to his past career and services, and stating his position on the tariff, he spoke at considerable length on his recent trial at Washington. He acknowledged his guilt, and said he had fallen in a moment of weakness and passion, but had done all within his power to prevent a public scandal except the one thing, marriage, which at no moment had he considered. Did be think for a moment, as claimed by his enemies, that his sin had made him unfit to represent his hearers in congress; that a reelection would be looked upon by the world as a vindication: that a vote for him was either a vote of approval or of condonation of his misdeeds,' he would not ask for a reelection, nor accept the votes of his hearers, nor live in their midst. But of what he had been guilty he had made public acknowledgment, and his reelection could neither take from nor add to the punishment he had suffered. He was glad exposure had come. He eared not now for the closet door to be opened, for there was no skeleton there. He could now look up through the blue Bkies of the upper world, and feel that there was no cloud there. He would wear with him the scars of the past, but would no longer carry the dread of exposure. lie would come out of the storm, in some respects, conqueror. Col. Breckinridge said that the extent of his guilt was truthfully confessed by him without justification or palliation, and he asked no condonation. In conclusion he said: “It some one in your midst can better do the work you want done as your representative, choose him; I shall submit; some one whose life has been stainless; whose morals .young men can imltato with protit; whose days have been pure and whose nights have been sinless; whoso ability is ample, whose ex perience is wide. Fot 100 years thiß district has been represented by men. They have not always been sinless men, and whether you reelect or reject me, hereafter whon some ode comes to write Its history, whatever blame may attach to mo, ho will writo of me that, even with that blame, ho loved the poor he toiled for hia fellow men, he labored for good causes; and as this hlstorlun turns over the pages of the record in which my utterances are contained ho will rise from them with the belief that I was loyal to my principles, faithful to truth, devoted to you."

WILL STAND BY IT.

THEY FAVOR SILVER.

United State* Senator* Send a Cablegram to the London Bimetallic Conference. Washington, May s.—Following is a copy of a cablegram sent to the lord mayor of London, apropos of the bimetallic conference held in that city, by several United States senators: •‘We desire to express our cordial sympathy with the movement to promote tho restoration of silver by international agreement, in aid of whioh we understand a meeting is held under your lordship's presidency. Wo believe the free coinage of both gold and silver by international agreement at a axed ratio would secure to mankind the blessing of a sufficient volume of metallic money, and, which is hardly less important, securo to the world of trade immunity from violent exchange fluctuations." The document was signed by Senators John Sherman, W. B. Allison, D. W. Voorhees, George F. Hoar, Nelson W. Aldrich, David B. Hill, Edward Murphy, A. IJ.1 J . Gorman, O. 11. Platt, Calvin Brice, Joseph M. Carey, William Frye, C. K. Davis, S. M. Cullotn, Henry Cabot Lodge.

CAUSE OF HARD TIMES.

Congressman McGann Want* to Have m Congressional Inquiry. Washington, May 9. —Mr. McGann (dem., Ill.), as chairman of the house committee on labor, has framed a terse joint resolution proposing the appointment of a committee of three senators and three members of the house to inquire into the cause of the present industrial depression and idleness and to to report within thirty days, both on causes and probable remedies. The resolution will be laid before the house on Wednesday. The resolution is to make the inquiry on broad lines, so that the effects of the tariff uncertainty,silver legislation, eta, will all be considered without reference to the politics involved. Mr. McGann says he thinks it can be done and that it might do a positive good, irrespective of the political thcrories which suffer.

Tourists Rescued.

Gbatz, May 8. A diver yesterday morning succeeded in reaching the party of tourists who have been imprisoned in the stalactite cavern at Souraich since Saturday, April 28, owing to a sudden rise in the water and the fact that the passage in it became blocked with timber and bowlders. The diver found all seven of the tourists alive, but they were almost insane from the nervous strain.
