CHAPTER Vl l—Continued. It was within a sow days of this conversation that Wyatt gratified himself with the performance of a little experiment which he had devised in the comfortable retirement of his bachelor loom at Da venant. Ho had come into h^tL3 Sinelairs morning-room after tail - <>f^n to consu * her upon the de- „ an am item- diwnatfe performance that H U < to take phu'o slio tlv an< ba I tor u won lor. found the hu/ band m.d wife alone together. “Perhaps we'd bettor discuss the I business at some other time,” he said. i "I know Sin lair d osn’t care mu h about this sort of thing.” “Is that your thoitrieal rubbish?” asked Gillort. “Youd bi tter say what you ve got to say about it.

Perhaps it would do biter to let them draw lots tor characters, or we might put the light comedy parts up to aucDon.and send the pro oeds to the p a rHo ran on tn t his strain gayly enough, writing IL-taos the characters and piece i, and putting down the names of the guests with a rapid pen as ho talked, until Gilbert Sine air threw down his newspaper and cjm > over to tho fire-place, politely requesting his friend to stop that row.” It was a hopelessly wet, morning, and tho master of Davenant was sorely at a loss for amusement and Occupation. He had come to his wife’s room in rather a defiant spirit, determined that sho should favor him with a little more of her society than it was her habit to give him, and he ha I found her writing letters, which .-he declare I were Imperative, and had .-at by the tiro Waiting for hot- eon topi ndeuco to bo finished, in a very sulky it ood. “What’s tho last news, Wyatt-” ho asked, jinking the fire savag/’y; 'anything stirring in Lon Ion? ' “Nothing —in London. Thor* is some news of an old friend of mine j who’s far away fr >m London news I I

don't altogether like." “S me client who has boiled in o dor t > swindle you out of a bn;' I ill of costs, 1 supp »se," answered Gilbert, indifferently. “No; th * friend I am talking of i~ a gentleman we all know the late own r of this place.

I trust tha' it may turn out a false alarm." Constance had dropped I.er t en, making a great blot upon the page.' She was very pale, and ler hands wer ■ I

clasped nervously u x>n the table before i her. Gilbert watched her with eager, angry eyes. It was just such an opportunity as he had wished for. He want- I ed above ail things to satisfy his * —•**% ' uh mt. that mon

And now I suppose you have trumpe 1 up this story in order to let me see what a foeff I have been.” “It is not a trumped-up story.” returned the other. "It is the common talk among men who know the traveler* and their line of country. ”

THE CAMPAIGN IS ON. i ELECTION of over twenty SENATORS INVOLVED. Offices to Ee Filled in the Various States This \eir—A New House of KepresenA’^tatives to lie Chosen—Hot Fights in Seine FecEons. The politicians of tho country are in I the sadd.e. This is no unmeaning phrase this year, for 1894 promises to eclipse in into; e t even a presidential election. In fact, it promises to foreshadow accurately the campaign of 1898. F,. r this reason all tho talent of the various par.ios is already being brought to the fr. nt, primed wi h a mass of campaign mute ial growing out of tho silver, tho tariff, and the Hawaiian ccntro. ersies of the r ast year.
