CHAPTER XXV. On the morning of the same day, that Witnessed the ..interview between Glitka Überganyi a rip the two Daneborough ofhcials, the master of Mortmain drave from his house at Helston to Woc* l,uru I ar ’ bod age. ! He reimjfl up the high-stewing bays m front of -the ivy -covered parsonage, and •ending in his card, ace mpunicd the scrap of pasteboard by a reinest that he might• ^ r ' MnrSh‘ftbtvMc gentleman ■would kindly^^ him ten minutes for a brief conversation. ' — “Mr. Marsh,” he said, blandly, as soon as he had .accepted the chair that was offered to him, “you will be surprised, I fear, at my calling upon you without the honor of an introduction; nor is it proba- . ble that 1 am known to you, even by report; but I was informed that Miss Mow- t bray’s guardian, whose name is familiar to me through my intercourse with our kind friends at the parsonage here, was on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Langton; and it Is because you are Miss Mowbray’s guardian that 1 have ventured to trouble you to-day.” Mr. Marsh made a sort of bow, and grunted assent, pricking up his ears the while. He hail not, as yet, divimsl the nature of the baronet's possible bu<lie<s with him. '“The fact is, sir.” said Sir Richard, with a frank smile, “that though it costs me something to make the avowal to a gentleman who, unfortunately, is a total stranger to me— I am in love with Miss Violet Mowbray, your Iwautiful young ward, and I have consider'd that the most straightforward course of procoedtng was to go direct to the guardian, who, in her case, represents the authority of a parent, and tell him so, leaving him to decide as to the eligibility of my proposals, as his sense of duty and his knowledge of the world shall dictate.” “You have taken me somewhat by surprise,” said Mr. Marsh, he-iatingly. “Miss Mowbray is still very young.” “She is, indeed.” rejoined the baronet, earnestly, but alm st humbly. “Rut would she not be happier, sir. with tin r •ured position ami under a hush.iml's care than fatherless and motherh-s io such a world as that which we - -c orcin 1 os? There has been a long friendship, Mr. Marsh, betnosm Mr. Langton, your nephew here, and my late father, and I was glad to renew the a • pmim tr.ee sum ■ weeks .ago. bef-'feJ.JttwAti.hat Mis Mowbrny. wiiottK'i have since learned to love, was an inmate of the parsonage. 1 know, and I am glad to know, that Miss Mow bray has no fortune.” As Sir Richard said this, the Lofld n merchant could not repress a chuckle, while he rubbed his hair vehemently in an upward direction. The baronet for a moment eyed him with surprise, and then went on, as smoothly as before. “When I say no fortune. I merely speak tn the common acceptation of the term. I am myself, as Mr. Langton is awar. . : targe land owner, so that the three or four hundred pounds it year which I l*'heve to belong to the young lady can scarcely present any temptation to me. Ix?t it, by all moa: be strb dy th 1 up. for her separate use. Quit indep. tide:.:[y of that small income, I ■ mid make a handsome settlement :.p-a my wife, if only I could hope to hail your ward as Lady Mortmain.” “Sir Richard,” Mr. Marsh resp. tided, graciously, "1 am. as you perhaps know, a quiet city man. leading a life very unfashionable, but I can quite realize the truth that men of rank and fortune -men like you, Sir Richard -are apt to lo d< f >r money, as well as pedigree, or instead of pedigree, with their wives And I can appreciate your <.• ndnet, indeed I earn May I ask if you have ever spoken, on this topic, I mean, to my ward?” “I have spoken.” answered the baronet, with an ingenious sort of embarrassment which won him the immediate sympathy of Mr. Marsh, himself a shy man. and therefore alive to all the sufferings to which bashful humanity is heir—“l have •poken, not in direct terms, but in language which many young ladies would have comprehended, if not approved. Had Miss Mowbray had a father — But, as it is, I come to you. sir. as her guardian, and you will send me from hence a happy and u hopeful man, if I can only fee! sure that you consider favorably my suit.” “Certainly I'll speak to Violet, and that wigho»t delay-.’’ said Ms Vfar-h. eueotrr-ggtng’?>'-“And, Sir Richard, you have my best wishes for your success.” When Sir Richard Mortmain had driven off. his well-stepping bays and silvermounted harness producing quite a sen- i nation in the village street. Mr. Marsh re- ■ mained vacantly gazing out at the window of the clergyman’s study. “That will do!” muttered Mr. Marsh, with an air of satisfaction. "Yes, that will do. Sir Richard Mortmain would be just the husband for that delicate, shrinking little snow-drop of a girl. I'll do my best.” CHAPTER XXVI. When Mr. Marsh went back to the drawing room he found the rector deeply immersed in his newspaper, and Mrs.* Txtngton evidently excited and inquisitive. Marrying and giving in marriage are topics, be sure, that interested women above all other topics before the first brick of Babylon was baked, and still the subject keeps its freshness and its zest. “Sir Richard had a great deal to say to you, uncle,” the clergyman's wife remarked. “Sir Richard had a good deal to say,” rejoined the dry-salter, who was glad of the opportunity of speaking. “The fact is, he called on me in the capacity of Violet’s guardian.” “Dear me! of Violet's guardian!" echoed Mrs. Langton. “A proposal, eh? in the good old form. Have I guessed rightly, sir?” smiled the vector.

“Y'ou have guessed rightly," said Mr. Marsh. “Who would have thought it? Poor, dear Violet!” exclaimed Mrs. Langton. Thore was a little more talk, and then Mrs. Langton promised to send Violet down to speak with her guardian; the rector went back to his library, and Mr. Marsh paced, waiting, to and fro. Violet camo into the drawing room in some surprise. "My dear young lady,” said M'. Marsh, "I do hope that you will do mo the justice to believe one thing, that in all that I may consider necessary to le sa : d, and in all I may find expedient to be done, I am guided simply and wholly by a sincere desire to see you happy." “Yon were always very, very kind, dear guardy,’*said Violet, gently. “I have hail an interview, Violet, my dear." said Mr. Marsh, “with a genth*man who calk'd hero expressly to see me. Sir Richard Mortmain, who is, as you are aware, a baronet of one of the earlier I creations, and a matt of property and ' position, has bisn here to-day to ask my consent Ixffore making you a formal proposal of marriage. There can be no doubt • ns to the sincerity of his attachment to yourself, ami as little as to the disinterestedn character of his suit. But what I admired was the unselfish and generous nature of the man himself. Indeed, Violet, I should close my eyes, were anything to happen to me. the more happily if I : knew that you were under the care of | such a husband as Sir Richard Mor: ; main.” "Do not ask me to d> it I could not tould not!” cried out Violet, like a fright em-d child; and then, seeing I er guardian’s look of surprise, she said, more calmly, I "Yon mem al! that is g- - d. dear sir. and as regards Sir Richard Mortmain. 1 thank you gratefully. Rut 1 cannot marry him. I am pledged to Don. and I do not like Sir R diariLwit a all his ace •mp'.ishmcnts and all his good looks." "Yon mean, you hwidstmng rrl." broke out Mr. Marsh, angrily, “that y^n a? • caught by n fair o r,Me. and n few sp • clous words; that y m prefer a low Is.m adventurer to a h gh-bred gentleman . like ” "Hush, gnnrdy. d- ar gnardy!" pitonm* ly interjected V u i. as : color ro*" to her face ami the tears mantled in her eyes. “You ar-» cruelly unjust to D He is no adventurer.

Once Glitka had no need of such a strategem. Ihe handsome English cavalier did not seek then to shun her ; society." "If you want anything of me what is it you want?” querulously demanded the baronet; “money is scarce with me just now ” “I do not want your money, Cavaliere,” interrupted Glitka, hotly; "I want my husband, pledged and plighted to me in my own distant land, where the betrothal a tie is held so sacred that, had I had a brother left living he would have hunted you down with knife or pistol, as he would have done a wolf caught in the homestead. As it is, Glitka Eberganyi must redress her own wrongs. Beware how you trifle with me!” she added, with sudden fury, as she saw the baronet's lip curl with its familiar sneer; "we Magyars have blood in our veins that runs warmly, whether for lo»e or hate.” ’ “Upon my word, Glitka,” coolly rejoin- : cd S-ir Richard, “you give yourself a great : i deal of unnecessary trouble. I Sever regarded our old love passages and roman- - tic talk with such seriousness as you did, and as for marrying you ” “Why not? If you are noble, am I not j noble too? Or is it only because,l was poor and have left my native country and

And I cannot afford expensive luxuries, such as a marriage for the sake of love would bo.

Why not renounce your plots and wiles, and the struggles of your life in Engin'd here? Glitka would make you a true wife even now. What remains of your fortune, gilded beggary here, would ge far in Hungary, where life is cheap.” 1 “Upon my word, my dear feature,’ scornfully replied the baronet, '' u draw a very pretty picture of somft Arcadia of the backwoods.

That much, at least, is given out at Scotland Yard, and more, it is said, of even a more startling nature will follow. The Scotland Yard detectives acted promptly and quickly. They had been dogging the* steps of the conspirators in America, ami police agents followed the Invineibles everywhere after their arrival in Europe. This conspiracy goes back to the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke in Phoenix Park. Dublin, in IX-2. The warrant on which Tynan was arrested was that which was issued fourteen years ago charging him with participation in tin- ITmt nix Park crime. I'iiat he was iet go at that time is considered a triumph of detective strategy. For fourteen years his every movement has been watched, and there is no doubt that the details of the vast conspiracy, with ail its ramifications, will be laid bare. A significant feature of this situation is that the information which explained to rhe police the meaning of Tynan's actions and the purpose of his trip to Europe is said to have come from some of ,the political prisoners who were recently released by the Government. These men had left America for England thoroughly disguised and under assumed names. That some of them were arrested on board

Thh» 4a a a Republican increase over. 1892 of ItSo'. | 1 here were only a few local contests to " arouse factional feuds, and order wasj preserved at the polls throughout the State without much difficulty. In all the strife and contention during the campaign the contest was remarkably free from personalities. The most effective work was done from i the stump, and never did a more formida- ! ble array of campaign orators expound Republican doctrines in a New England i State. But the struggle was not entirely . one-sided. With internal dissensions and ! a jack of funds to contend with, the Demi ocrats made a very strong fight, especialily in the cities. Candidate Frank did good work on the stump, and. while tho j speakers generally from outside of the I State were not orators of great fame, ' their work was productive of some reI suits. The Prohibitionists conducted their campaign on practically rhe same lines as in past years. In none of tiie congressionai*districts was there a close contest. All of the Democratic candidates for Congress evidently believed that it was impossible to del eat the Republican nominees and their canvass was not very active. Mr. George E. Hughes, chairman of the Democratic State committee, says that before the campaign opened it was evident that it was absolutely impossible for the Democrats to carry the State, and it would have been the height of folly to have made the attempt. He declares, too, that the Republican managers worked night and day and spent thousamia of dollars in campaigning.
