THE _MAIL

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

Colonel Quaritch.

Continued from Second Page. I "Well, well," caid the old gentleman, "I will consent for this year, and this year •only. I bavo been church warden of this .parish for between forty and fifty years, .and we have always given the harvest festival collection to the hospital, and although under these exceptional circumstances it may possibly be desirable to diverge from that custom, I cannot and will not consent to such a thing in a permanent way. So shall write to the secretary and explain the matter, and tell him that next year aud in the future generally the collection will be •devoted to its original purpose." "Great heavens!" ejaculated Mr. Quest to himself. "Aud all the time the man must know that in all human probability the place will be sold over bis head before be is a .year older. I wonder if be puts it on or if he deceives himself. I suppose he has lived here so long that he cannot realize a con 2ition of things when be will eease to live here and the place will belong to somebody «lse. Or perhaps be is only brazening it out."

And then ho strolled away to the back of the houso and bad a look at the condition of the outhouses, reflecting that some of them would be sadly rtpensivo to repair for whomever came into possession here. After that he crossed the moat and walked through the somewhat extensive plantations at the bock of tbo house, wondering if it would not be possible to get enough timber out of thom, if ono went to work judiciously, to pay for putting the place in order. Presently he -came to a hedgerow where there had been a lino of very fine timber oaks of which the squire bad been notoriously fond, and of which ho had himself taken particular and •admiring notice in the course of the previous winter. The trees were gone. In the hedge where they bod stood were a series of gaps like those in an old woman's jaw, and about upon tbo

ground

were littered remains of

bark and branches and of fagots that had been tnado up of the brushwood. "Cut down this spring fell!" was Mr. Quest's ejaculation. "Poor old gentleman, be must have been pinched before he consented to part with those oaks."

Then he turned and went back to the house, just in time to see Ida's guests arriving for tfco lawn tennis party. Ida herself xrcs standing on the lawn behind the house, which, bordered as it was by the moat and at the further end by a row of ruined arches, was oue of the most picturesque in tbo •country, and a very effective setting to any young lady. As the people came they wcro ehown through the house on to the lawn, and here she was receiving them. She was dressed in a plain, tight-iltting gown of blue flannel, which showed oil bet* perfect figure to great advantage, and a broad brimmed hat, that shaded her fino but somewhat dig uilled face. Mr. Quest sat down on a bench beneath the shade of an arbutus, watching her cloficly, and, indeed, if the study of a ix.vfcct English lady of the noblest sort has any charms, bo was not without his reward. Thero are some women—most of us know one or two—who are born to hold a great position, and to sail across th« world like a swan through meaner fowl. It would bo very bard to say to what their peculiar charm and dignity is owing. It is not to beauty only, for though tlte^ have presence, many of thoso women are not bcuutiful, while somo are even plnitj. Nor does it spring from nativo grace and%sct alone, though thoso things must bo present, ttatber, iHithnps, is it the reflection of a cultivated mind acting upon a naturally puro and cli atcd toniperament, which nutlets these ladies conspicuous, and fashions them in such hind that all mot), putting nsido the mere cbnrjn of beauty'and the Statural softening of judgment i:i tlio atmosphere of Rex, must rccognise l:i them an «qu£l mind, uuu a piiwei.co more uoblo than their own.

Such a woman was Ida tie 'A Mollo, and if any ono doubted it it wasfeunicioat.to cor.i]arc her in her simplicity ito tlio various hnmnn items by whom she was surrounded. They wcix* atypical county society gathering, such as needs no description, nud would not nrer.tly interest if described—neither very jjoodaior very bail, very haudsomo nor very i-kUii, but moving roii~iqusly within fhf lines of custom, and uu the ground of 'conurwinlacv. it was no wonder, then, that a woman like Ida Ci ia Idollo was Cactlo priuceps anion *ttoh comrwny, or that Harold Quaritch, who

Wag poetic^..y inclined for a man of his age, at any rate where the lady in question was concerned, should in his heart have compared her to a queen. Even Belle Quest, lovely as she undoubtedly was In her own way, paled And looked shop girlish in face of her gentle dignity, a fact of which she was evidently aware, for although the two wotyen were friendly, nothing would induce the latter to stand long near Ida in public. She would tell Edward Cossey that it made her look like a wax doll by alive child.

It was while Mr. Quest was still watching Ida with complete satisfaction—tor she appealed to the artutic side of his nature—that Col. Quaritch arrived upon the scene, looking, Mr. Quest thought, particularly plain with his solid form, hifclong thin nose, light whiskers aud square and massive chin. Also he looked particularly imposing in contrast to the youths and maidens and domesticated clergymen. Theiv was a gravity, almost a solemnity, about his bronsed countenar^o ami deliberate!, ordered conversation which did not, however, ravorably impress the aforesaid youth# and maidens, if a judgment might tw formed from such sample* of conversational criticism as Mr. Quest heard going on on the further side of hi? arbutus.

CHAPTER XL I A S A O A I

When Ida saw the colonel coming she put on her sweetest smile aua took his hand. "How do you do, CoL Quariltchr she said. "It is very good of you to come, especially you doft't play tennis much. By the way, I hope you have be*»n studying that cipher, for 1 am sure that it is a cipher." "1 studied it for half an hour before I went to bed last night, Miss de la Molle, and for the life of me 1 could not make anything out of it, and, what's more, I dont dunk that there is anything to make out* "Ah,*' ah* answered, with a litgh, "1 wish there was." "Well," lie answered, "Til have another go at it What will yon give roe if 1 find it outr

he said with a r*~'V which lighted up his rugged face most tsantly. "Anything yoo like to ask and that I can give," die answ r.d, with a of earnestness which «t him as softer, for, of course, he «14 not know the taie thai she had Jc 'ward from Mr. 1 m, tor* the first :.J» for many yean, Harold Qoarttch delivered himself of asfwecb that might have been capahleof ateadsr and hidden meaning. "I am afraid," he said, bowing, "that it I came to claim the reward I should ask for more even than you would ha inclined to

id* blushed a little. "We can consider that when you do come, CoL Quaritch. Excuse me, hot here are Mrs. Quest and Mr. Cossey, and I mast go and say bow do you da"

Presently Ida turned and introduced CoL Quaritch, first to Mrs. Quest and then to Mr. Cossey. Harold bowed to each, and then strolled off to meet the squire, whom he noted advancing with bis usual array of towels hanging oat of his hat, and for awhile be saw neither of them any mora

Meanwhile Mr. Quest had emerged from the shelter of his arbutus, and was going from one person to another saying some pleasant and appropriate word to each, till at last ho reached the spot where his wife and Edward Cossey were standing. Nodding affectionately at the former, he asked bar if she was not going to play tennis, and then drew Cossey aside. "Well, Quest," said the latter, "have you told the old man?" "Oh, yes I told him.* "How did he take ltf "Ob, talked it off, and said that of course other arrangements must be made. I spoke to Miss de la Molle, too." "Oh," said Edward, in a changed tone, "and bow did she take it!"

Well," answered the lawyer, putting on an air of deep concern (and as a matter of fact he really did feel sorry for her), "I think it was the most peinful professional experience that I ever had. The poor woman was utterly crushed. She said that it would kill her father." "Poor girl!" said Mr. Cossey, in a voice that showed his sympathy was of a very active order, "and how pluckily she is carrying it off too—look at her," and he pointed to wuere Ida was standing, a lawn tennis bat in her band, and laughingly arranging a "set" of married versus single. "Yes, she is a good, plucky girl," answered Mr. Quest, "and what a splendid woman she looks, doesn't she? I never saw any one who was quite such a lady—there is nobody to touch her round here, unless," he added meditatively, "perhaps it is Belle." "They are different types of beauty," answered Edward Cossey, flinching. "Yes, but equally attractive in their separate ways. Well, it can't be helped, but 1 feel sorry for that poor girl and the old gentleman, too— Halloo, there he is I"

As be was speaking, the squire, who was walking past with CoL Quaritch, with the object of showing him the view from the end of the moat, suddenly saw Edward Cossey, frho at once stepped forward to greet him, but to his surprise was met by a cold and most stately bow from Mr. de la Molle, who passed on without vouchsafing a single word. "Old idiot I" ejaculated Mr. Quest to himself, "he will put the squire's back up and spoil the game."

Well," said Mr. Cossey aloud, and coloring almost to his eyes, "that old gentleman knows how to be insolent." "You must not mind bim, Mr. Cossey," answered Quest, hastily. "The poor old boy has got a very good idea of himself—be Is dreadfully injured because Cossey & 8on are calling in tbo mortgagee after the family has dealt with them for so many generations and ho thinks that you have something to do with it." "Well, if he does, he might as well be civil. It docs not particularly Incline a fellow to go out of his way to pull him out of the ditch, just to be cut in that fashion. I have half a mind to order iny trap and go."

No, no, don't do that—you must make allowances: you must, indeed. Look, here is iliss de la Molle coming to ask you to play tennis."

At this moment Ida arrived, and' took off Edward Cossey with her, not a little to the relief of Mr. Quest, who began to fear that tho whole scheme was spoiled by the squire's unfortunate magniflcenco of manner.

Edward played his game, having Ida herself as his partner. It cannot bo said that tho sot was a pleasant ono for the latter, who, poor woman, was doing her utmost toiring up her courage to the point necessary to tho carrying out of tho appeal, ad misericordiam, which she had decided to make as soon as tho game was over. However, chance put an opportunity in bor way, for Edward Cossey, ho had a curious weakness for flowers, asked her if she would show him her chrysthemums, of which «ho waa very proud, .-'•ha consented readily enough, anil they ossed tho lawn, mid passing through somo shrubbery Cached tbo greenhouse, which was placed at tho end of tho bouse itself, llero for some minutes they looked at tbo flowers, just uow bursting into

'Xm.

Ida, who felt

Accedingly nervous, wr ail tbo while wonUeriug how en earth she was to broach so dolioato a subject, when fortunately Mr. 'osscy himself gave her the necessary opening. "I cant Imagine, Mis* de la Molle," he said, "what 1 can have done to offend your father lio almost cut me just now"

Are you sure that ho saw you, Mr. Cossey IIo is very absent minded sometimes." ijt 'Oh, yes. he saw me but when I offered to shake hands with him be only bowed in rather a crushing way and passed on."

Ida broke off a scarlet Turk from its stem, and nervously began to pick the bloom to piecca.

The fcict is, Mr. Coesey-tho fact is, my father, aud indoed 1 also, are in great trouble Just now about money matters, you know, and my father is very apt to bo prejudiced in short, I rather believe that he thinks you may have something to do with his difficulties—but perhaps you know all about it."

I know something, Miss do la Molle," said he gravely, "and I hope and trust that you do not belie vo that I have anything to do with the action which Cossey & Son have thought fit to tak&M

No, no," she s*ki hastily. "I never thought anything of the sort but I know that you have influence—aud, well, to bo plain, Mr. Cossey, I implore of you to use it Perhaps you will understand that it is very humiliating for mo to be obliged to ask this, though you can never guess bow humiliating. Believe me, Mr. Cossey, I would never ask it for myself but it is my father—he loves this place better than his life it would be much better ho should die than that be should be ot ^ctl to leave it and if this money is called it. iLat is what must happen, because the place will be sold over us. I believe he would go mad. I do indeed,** and she stopped speaking and stood there before him, the fragment of the fiower in her hand, her breast heaving with emotion.

Whar wo you soggest should he done. Miss de la said Edward Coney, gently. 1 suggest thai—that—if you will bo so kind, you should persuade Carney & Son forego their intention of calling in the money.w

the pavement and the sight, strongly attracted as he ww and had for sometime been toward the young lady, was

altogether

too

much for him. In an instant, moved by an

fvWr

impulse, and something not

unlike a gust of passion, be came to ono of thoso which so often change tbe whole course and tenor of men's lives. "Miss de la Molle," he said rapidly, "there may be away found out of it"

She looked up inquiringly, and there were the tear stains on her face. "Somebody might take up the mortgages and pay off Cossey & Son." "Can you

any ene who willP she

eagerly.

"No, not as an investment I understand that £80,000 are required, and I tell you frankly that as times are I da. not for one moment believe the place to be worth that amount It is all very well for your fatter to talk about land recovering itself, but at present, at any rate, nobody can see the faintest chance of anything of the sort. The probabilities are, on tbe contrary, that as the American competition increases land will gradually sink to something like a prairie value." "Then how can the money be got if nobody will advance it!" "I did not say that nobody would advance it I said that nobody would advance it as an investment A friend might advance it" "And whera is such a friend to be found? He would be a very disinterested friend who would advance £30,000." "Nobody in this world is quite disinterested, Miss do la Mollo, or, at any rate, very few are. What would you give to such a friend!" "I would give anything and everything over which I have control in the world to save my father from seeing Honham sold over his head," she answered simply.

Edward Cossey laughed a little. "That is a large order," he said. "Miss de la Molle, I am disposed to try and find the money to take up these mortgages. I have not got it, and I shall have to borrow it, and, what is more, I shall have to keep tho fact that I have borrowed it a secret from my father." "It is very good of you," said Ida, faintly. "I don't know what to say."

For a moment he made no reply and looking at bim, Ida saw that his hand was trembling. "Miss de la Molle," be said, "there is another matter of which I wish to speak to you. Men are sometimes put into strange, positions, partly through their own fault, partly by force of circumstances, and when in those positions are forced down paths that they would not follow. Supposing, Miss de la Molle, that mine were some such position, and supposing that owing to that position, I could not say to you words which I should wish to say."

Ida began to understand now, and once more turned aside. "Supposing, however, that at some future timo the difficulties of that position of which I have spoken were to fade away and I were then to speak those words, can you, supposing all this, tell me how they would bo received f"

Ida paused and thought She was a strong natural and clear headed woman, and she fully understood the position. On ber an swer would depend whether or no the £30,000 were forthcoming, and, therefore, whether or no Honham castle would pass from her father f.nd ber race. "I said just now, Mr. Cossey," she answered, coldiy, "that I would give anything and everything over which I have control in the world to save my father from seeing Honham sold over his bead. I do not wish to retract thoso words, and I think that in them you will find an answer to your question."

He colored. "You put the matter in very business like way," he said. "It is best put so, Mr. Cossey," she an swered, with a faint shade of bitterness in her tono "it preserves me from feeling under an obligaticn. Will you see my father about these mortgages?" "Yes, to-morrow. And now I will, say good-by to you," and he took her band, and with somo little hesitation kissed it She made uo resistance and showed no emotion. "Yes," she answered, -'we have been hero somo tirriS" Mrs. Quest will wonder what has become of you."

It wasu random arrow, but it went straight home and for the third time that day Edward Cossey reddened to the roots of his hair. Without answering a word he bowed and went V: ~-r,"

When IJa sdW it, she wifrisorry she hud tnado tho remark, for she had no wish to appear to Mr. Cossey (the conquest of whom gave her neither pride nor pleasure) in the light of a spiteful, or worse still, of a jealous woman. Sho had indeed heard somo talk about bim and Mrs. Quest but not being of :i scandal loving disposition it had not interested her, and she bad almost forgotten it Now, however, she saw that there was something in it "So that is the difficult position of tohich he talks," she said to herself "he wants to marry me as soon as he can get Mrs. Quest off bis hands. And I have consented to that, always provided that Mrs. Quest can be disposed of, in consideration of the receipt of a sum of £30,000. And I do not f&ce the mat}. It was not nico of him to make that bargain, though I brought it on myself. I wonder if my father will ever kno.w what I have done for him, and if be will appreciate it if he does. Well, it is not a bod price—£30,000— it is a good figure for any woman in tbe present state of tbe market" And with a hard and bitter laugh, and a prescience of sorrow to como lying at tbe heart, she threw down the remains of the scarlet Turk and turned away.

A Civilised Coon.

"Wheref the owner of that animal asked a gentleman at the Union street Presidio junction last evening, as he pointed to a small coon that was balancing itself on his hind legs the length of his chain

An old man, apparently a Forty-niner, who had given up the occupation of mining for that of selling fruit, came forward and said "I he's sir, and what is it you wish with mef" "Oh!" repSied the gentleman, as he scrutinised the fruit vender, "do you know I can have you arrested? lam a member of tho Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Don't you see that poor brute is going mad for thirst! Why don't you put small tin of water near him!" "Sorry, air, but you dont quite understand," said the old man. "He's only just exorcising himself now. Beside, that animal won't drink water now—he's become civilized. He likes ice drinks like the rest of the boys."

Just then the driver of an ice wagon came up and handed tho coon achnnk of ice, which it seized between its front paws and began licking it with his tongue with evident satisfaction. "Now you are happy, ain't you, my boyf said tbe coon's proprietor, as ho stroked its furry back. "You see, sir, how he gets his liquor now, don't yon? Ho has a lick at some ice and some driod figs for his lunch every day." "But where did you get him fromF' asked a reporter who had bao looking while waiting for the cars. "Well, .about a year ago, I guess," an swored the old man, "I was up country with a couple of young fellows from the east on a hunting expedition, and one awful cold night when we were all fast asleep in our tent, all of a sudden one of tho young men woke up and began screaming 'There's a bear in my blanket!' while tho other shot sky holes through the tent with his gun. I saw something dark scrambling under the canvas, so layedonto it and captured that little beggar," pointing to the coon. "He was too frightened to bite, so I boxed him without much trouble and afterward I took a fancy to the little fool, so I made a pet of it D'ye seeF'—Saa Francisco Examiner.

Driving Hens. Ji

When a woman has a hen to drive into tho ooop she takes hold of her skirts with both hands, shakes them quietly at the delinquent and says: "Shoo, there!" The hen takes one look at tho object to assure herself that it is a woman, and then stalks majestically into the coop. A man doesn't do it in that way. He goes out doors saying: "It's singular nobody can drive a hen but me 1" ana picking up a stick of wood, hurls it at the offending biped, and yells: "Get in there, you thief!' Tho hen immediately loses her reason and dashes to the other end of the yard. The man plunges after hor. She comes back with 1 head down, her wings out, and followed^ a miscellaneous assortment of stove wood, trait cans, clinkers, and a very mtid man in tho rear.

Then sho skims under the barn, and over a fence or two, and around tho house back to tho coop again all the while talking as only an cxcited hen can talk, and all tbo while followed by things convenient for throwing, and by a man whose coat is on the saw buck, whose bat is on the ground, and whose perspiration is limitless. By this time the other hens bavo come out to take a hand in the dobate, and help dodge missiles the man vows that every hen on the place shall be sold at once, puts on his hat and coat and goes down town. Tho woman comes out, goes right to work and has every one of those hens housed and counted inside of jinutes.—Mobile

|v 4 ,An Interesting Battle Story. "Did you ever hear of a man being wounded without being struck by a bullet?" asked Representative Conger, of Iowa, who was major of the One Hundred and Second Illinois, turning to a group of Washington newspaper men. "It does not sound possible, but it is and I bad a case come under my own observation. It was that of the major of the Seventieth Indiana, Harrison's regiment, and Hagan was his name. At the battle of New Hope Church our regiments stood sido by side, and a battery over on a hill, a mile or two beyond, was making us very uncomfortable. Occasionally a big shot would go thundering past, just over our heads, and again one would strike the ground just ahead of us and ricochet with terrible effect All at once I noticed Maj. Hagan double up as if bo had tho crampsand roll over on his tide, groaning dreadfully. I ran up to him and Harrison did the saxno. Ho was insensible and had his hands clasped over bis stomach. We finally got them away, and, removing tbe clothing, discovered that tho windage of a cannon ball had actually sucked the blood through tbe pores of his skin and left his stomach black and blue. Ho had to goto the hospital and was ill for weeks.—Washington Letter.

EARL AMERICANS.

Simplicity In their mode of living was the marked characteristic of the early settlers of America.

Everything which pertained to them was plain and unostentatious. The food which they ate was frugally served and of the substantial kind.

Their clothing was home-spun and the moccasins which covered their feet were home product, being made from the hides of animals and ornamented with bead after tbe Indian fashion.

Their homes were simplicity itself, consisting of roughly hewn logs and home made shingles—the whole consti tuting tbe old Log Oabin home of frontier life. ^7%

Yet those were model homes. The wives and mothers were well versed in the art of all that pertained to housewifery,

Conspicuous in tbe early borne was tbe striking figure of the old grandmother.

Not only was she tbe adviser in social affairs but she was the medical adviser c«nd prescribed for tbe sick. Often were ber bands engaged in tbe preparation of some healing potion or remedy for the relief of those in ill-health. Fully versed in all tbe bountiful supplies contained in the grand storehouse of Nature^ she wisely Knew bow to utilise tbe curative jropertie* contained in certain roots and lerbs and accordingly she transformed them into certain medical agents, wbicb have made tbe old Log Cabin famous for all time to come.

Conscious of tbe great value of some of those old time borne cures a successful effort baa been made to re-discover tbe lost secret of their preparation, and, coupled with all tbe improvement which human ingenuity and progress svagesta, they are now widely known under tbe name of Warner's Log Cabin Remedies, tbe moat prominent being Log Oabin Saraaparflla and Loo Cabin Googb and Consumption Remedy.

Tbe suffering public baa been quick to recognise and appreciate their true value and tbe manufacturers are daily in receipt of much praise for tbe re-dt*30very ana revival of these old time remedies against dekneaa and disease.

Bad with Kcsftma. Hair all Rone, covered with eruptions. Thought hair would never grow. Cared by tiCutlcura Remedies. Hair splendid and "not a pimple On him. cannot say enough in praise of the C'uticure Remedies. My boy, when one year of age, was so bad with eczema that he lost all hair. His scalp was covered with eruptions, which the doctors said was scald head, and that his hair would never grow again. Despairing of a cure from physicians, I began tne use of the Cuticura Remedies, and, 1 am happy to say, with the most perfect success. His natr is now spIendM, and there is not a pimple on him. I recommend the Cuticura Remedies to mothers as the most speedy, economical, and sure cure for all skin diseases of infants and children, and feel that every mother who has an afflicted child will thank me for so doing.
