CHAPTER XIII. March was distinguished in the annals k>f Ramleh by a sudden outburst of gaylety, chiefly caused by the arrival of two English men-of-war in the harbor. The first brought two princes to Egypt, and, while these scions of royalty went to Cairo and up the Nile with the consulgeneral, their vessel remained in port. "And really,” as Mrs. Dumaresq said, with much seriousness, “what a comfort It is to have a man-of-war here to protect us!” But neither she nor anybody else thought the protection needed, for affairs were just then apparently in a very quiescent state. ■ A water picnic party was an event (which Anne Carteret and Michelle DuImaresq were fated long to remember. A flarge cutter was hired for the occasion, jand among the persons aboard were Mrs. (Dumaresq and several of her family, Mr. |Eastlake and Mr. Rolleston. The SeaIforths and various members of other Alexiandrian families were also present. I The day was brilliant and the wind in (their favor. They laughed and chatted merrily as the vessel ran out of the harfbor, and at last determined to land on the (low-lying shore on their left, where landling looked easy. It was not quite so easy as they thought. They could not get close fin to land, and there was some scrambling !to be done; but the ladies were all finally [helped to shore, and then the question Iwas asked whether an expedition inland (was to be made. I As the sloping ground was ascended, a wide and beautiful view of the harbor and the blue Mediterranean could be obtained. A palace and forts were built upon,a narrow heck of land running between the sea and Lake Mareotis. which lay motionless land blue on the other side. It gave almost a shock of surprise to those who, like Anne Carteret, were not well acquainted with the distribution of land -and water in that district to come so sudidenly upon another sheet of water where (they had expected to find a stretch of 'land. They climbed over a broken down part of an encircling wall and made their way to a building across a wide expanse of sand. The steps had been torn away from (the doors, and they had again to climb, with much laughter and assistance from each other, into the building itself. A division of the party was made. Mrs. Dumaresq, Rolleston and one or two of the guests were to walk to the boat and see that tea was prepared; then Hilda and Tom would return and join the others at the ruined palace. It was a cumbersome arrangement, and Anne would much rather have gone to the boat with Mrs. Dumaresq, but her scruples were overruled, and she found herself left with a Mr. Gray, Michelle and Mr. Eastlake. Mr. Gray was a pleasant companion, and bad a wife and family at home with whom Anne was slightly acquainted, and she was not sorry when Michelle and Mr. Eastlake went off together to explore the ruins and left her to rest on a stone and watch for the return of Hilda and Mr. Rolleston. The two came presently with the news that tea was ready, but by that time Michelle and her companion hftd disappeared. It was decided to institute something in the nature of a search. Mr. Gray ran down to the beach to see if they had returned thither. Tom and Hilda both searched the palace; Anne was commissioned to stand at a certain window and watch for passers-by. Thus left alone, Anne leaned against the rough stone of the archway and watched the sea birds on the water, and noted the contrasts of color in the heavens and earth, and dreamed once more — as, alas! she dreamed too often—of a dark face and a pair of tender eyes that looked into her own. and a voice that called her by her name. Her eyes grew dim. If Michelle and Eastlake had passed her at that moment she would have failed to intercept their progress. She did not even hear a step that gained her side; and yet through the haze of memory it seemed a perfectly natural thing that the old voice —-the voice that she had never dared to acknowledge to herself as anything but a ’ pleasant pain to her —should sound in her ears once more and call her by name—- “ Anne! Anne!” She started and turned round. No, it was not a trick of her fancy. It was Lawrence's voice she heard; it was Lawrence himself who stood and looked into her eyes. His face was pale with restrained emotion. As for Anne, her limbs trembled under her. She leaned against the stonework of the window and looked ' —ns if she had seen a ghost. “Have 1 startled you’.'" he said in ai hurried, agitated voice. “1 thought I should find you when I followed you from the shore. I could not stay away any longer, Forgive d3c. Anne: forgive me that I tried to leAve you when I love you more than all the world beside.” CHAPTER XIV. Forgive him? It was to Anne a moment of bewildering joy, of incredulous I surprise at tin' fulfillment of her heart's : secret desire: a fulfillment which never arrives to some bi us during the whole time of our passage from the cradle to the grave. She su'd nothing, but she looked at him for a sWond, and then placed both her hands in his. The gesture was an eloquent one io her. For answer he leaned forward add kissed her. "You are pale. Anne; you have not been Well?" he said to her. "Yes. 1 have been very well. But yon —did you go up the Nile?" “No. sweet one How could I. when you pulled me bar t to you at every step?" "1?" she said, her cheek coloring. “You. Anne. And as for me, I have not 'Known peace by day or sleep by night tsinee I saw you Dust. Tell me that you have missed me, too,” he said entreattngly. “I love you," sho said, “and there is no face I care to seo as I care for yours. The world was dark to me when you went. Is that enough? Can 5 say more than that?” “From you it should be enough. Do one thing more, Anne. I shall never like my name until I have heard it from your I will be ‘Mr. Lawrence’ no longer.

remember -at least tvhen we are alone.” “Darner?” she said, with a smile. “I think I like ‘Mr. Lawrence' better.” He colored a little, pulled his mustache and looked as if some thought had occurred to him which was not altogether a pleasant one. With her quick reading of a face she loved she saw that he was not quite at his ease, and wondered whether she had said something wrong. With sweet humility’ she hastened to amend her speech. “I will call you whatever you like vest, Darner,” she murmured.' He kissed her hand, but still looked a little disturbed. “Dear.” he said presently, “don’t you think it will be better to say nothing about this for a few days? There is always so much talk about such matters. I will take an opportunity of speaking quietly to Mr. Dumaresq." This was their last word alone. The voices of Hilda Seaforth and Mr. Rolleston were heard approaching; and when they appeared Miss Carteret ami Mr. Lawrence were standing at some distance from each other, looking like two wellbred people who had a slight, acquaintance. and were with some difficulty maintaining a conversation about the weather. “We can't find Miss Dumaresq and Mr. Eastlake anywhere." said Tom. when the first greetings had been exchanged. “I think they must be walking to the bench. Let us go down to the boat and see. How did you get here, Lawrence? You were not expected, were you?" “No, I came by the early train from Cairo, having telegraphed to Caleott to send donkeys for me and my luggage to the Sidi Gaber station.” This explanation was made as they were leaving the palace. They walked rapidl.v down to the shore, and found that the truants had not yet been seen or heard of. Mrs. Dumaresq was becoming seriously alarmed; so much alarmed, in fact, that she had scarcely leisure to remark on Lawrence's sudden appearance or Anne’s happy silence. They were all eon suiting what they should do to find Mi chelle and Eastlake, when the missing couple weiv seen coming down the bank toward the boat. Eastlake )ook< d grave, almost annoyed; Michelle was laughing and excited. "It is six o’clock," said Mrs. Duma resq, significantly. “Oh, that doesn't matter. 1 am sure," said Michelle, eoaxingly. “You don't mind being out late for once, .do you, mamma? It was so delights ul! Mr. Law Fence, is it really you?” They did not reach Ramleh until after nine o'clock, and then they found Hur old and Mr. Dumaresq both nt the station to meet them. Michelle shrank a little behind the others when she heard him speak. There was a tone of incipient dis pleasure in his voice already. “You are very late, Charlotte. 1 am afraid you will catch cold. 1 hope there has been no accident." “Oh, dear, .lames, it has been nothing but ono succession of accidents," lagan Mrs. Dumaresq in a disputed way. "1 will tell you till about it presently. Do give me your arm. and semi Harold to get me a donkey; 1 cannot walk all the way home, for I have twisted my ankle or something. 1 expect it is sprained." “What's the row?" said Harold famil iarly to his sister in a low tone. “Oh, do be quiet, Hnroid," said Michelle. plaintively. “What is wrong. Miche? Conn'. <heer up; you're tired. 1 say. where did Law rence start from? And do you see him and Anne mooning on together? Do you think it's a case?" “Oh. 1 can't tell; I don't know. Oh. Hal, I've been so silly. And I've made mamma and Mr. Eastlake and everybody so angry with me. Look. I'm sure mamma is telling papa already ." “I always told you that some day you would get it hot; and if the mother is pouring complaints of you into the gover nor's ear at that rate, you may expect it now.” But Michelle was not comforted. — CHARTER XV. Eastlake was busy and did not go out to the Dumaresq's for a few days after the water picnic. He went to the great gathering that assembled near the town to see the athletic sports, however, and there, in the midst of a throng of carriages outside the ring, he distinguished Mr. Dumaresq's family and friends. In the course of the afternoon he made his way to their carriage and spoke to Mrs. Dumaresq. He thought she looked uneasy and p“rrurhed. “James is somewhere about the course with tiie children." she said. "Michelle had a headache and did not come.” Michelle did not come! Eastlake turned and looked at Mrs. Dumaresq with unfeigned amazement. Michelle staying away from the great festive event of the (season! She had been wild about Har- | old's chance of the prize for the high I jump and the one-mile race, a week before! Eastlake's own pleasure in the ! afternoon was marred. He had been vexI ed with Michelle certainly; but he was quite ready to forgive her on the slightI est sign of penitence. It was hard upon him to see Anne and i Lawrence so evidently absorbed in one another. He had never before known Anne to manifest the slightest preference I for one man above another; and even' now she was gentle and kind and courtei ous to every one who spoke to her and I perfectly quiet and self-restrained in her j intercourse with Lawrence. But she paid i such close attention to his remarks, ami j the color rose in her fair face when he drew near in such tt way that she betrav|ed to observant eyes tho fact of her intcrt est in him. He. on his side, was much t less guarded than was she, and devoted himself to her with fonder assiduity. Eastlake dined in town, but went out > to Ramleh next day. Michelle was not > at an afternoon party, where he hoped to s meet her; so at last he called at Mrs. Dti- ’ maresq's. The house looked deserted. I The children were out; Mrs. Dumaresq » and Miss Carteret had gone to see a r cricket match; Miss Dumaresq was taking . care of the little howaga, who was ill.

Mr. Eastlake sent up his card by Hassan with the words written on it in penclTJ “What is the matter, Miche? Are you not well?” then turned into the library and waited the result. She came down to him presently. He examined her with a look of surprise. “Why, child,” he said, “they never told me that you were ill.” “I'm not ill,” said Michelle with difhculty, as she steadied herself against <> table. He could see that her hS were trembling. She looked white and uorn and imserable; and her ey e8 seemed to be set in purple hollows with red rims by tear^' ’’"d nC ' irly exthl g»i^u-d “What is the matter, then?” he asked still regarding her. askPd ’ 1 I suppose you haven t heard that I am-going to England—next week?” "To England? Why. Michelle, how’s this ' "It would take too long to tell you,” sho said, tinning away from him and looking down. "Why are they sending you?” "Became —oh, it is all a muddle; and it is my fault, too, I dare say.

"Would—would your father listen to ani one else to me, for instance, if I asked Hero Eastlake stopped abruptly. I don t suppost' so," said Michelle in a hopeless tone. “I said all I could; I said I was sorry, and that 1 would be more thoughtful for mamma another time; but it was no use. He had made up his mind.” । lou are fond of Egypt?" he said gent"You know I nm.” "Mould it make you happier, Michelle, if you had the prospect of spending the rest of your life or at least a great many years of it in Egypt?” "But I have the prospect already," said Michelle, opening her great dark eyes. He smiled slightly, but looked pale and moved, as it he were making some great effort to govern himself. "Tour father talks of buying a house in England and settling there.” A flash of feeling which he could not exactly understand passed over the girl’ll face; but again she said nothing. "M hat I meant was that 1 myself was ' likely to stay here for many years, and : that I might perhaps venture to ask you, I Michelle, to stay with me ns my wife.” The words Were soberly, genily uttered, ’ with the kind and almost tender look in his ey<>s t<> which Miele De was well ac(ustomed, and she did not notice that in all his speech there was not one word of love. For the moment it was natural enough that this fact should not strike her: it I'nnl asked her to he lyo wife, it ।onhl be only because he lovidTlr, Her faith in him was unbounded; Aid in 3 a’> m mnn> mat levs she was st i®'bi!di.«h ly simple ami unampbndieuted. jK iUe color lushed hi 16 Iffip*' M \ fl OU brow to chin she wm scarlet.

The question broke down all Michelle’s defenses. She nn«wered so simply and frankly that Eastlake reminded himself with a pang <>f remorse that after all she was but a child, and that perhaps he was taking an unfair advantage of her youth. lle had hardly meant to go so far. Os one thing, however, he was confident. Mr. Dumaresq was not at all likely to object to him as a son-in-law. Son-in-law! There was something rather absurd in the idea of becoming the son-in-law of his old friend and companion! ”1 do love you, Paul," she said. "And you think I can make you happy, little one?" he asked, with an accent, of sadness which Michelle did not remark. "Happy?" she repeated almost scornfully. “As if 1 could be happy with anybody else!" Then with a sudden fall in her voice, she said. “How good ybu are to me!

SHIPS THROW SHELLS CRETAN INSURGENTS IN HALEPA ARE BOMBARDED. Crisis Affecting All Europe Now Believed to Be Near Eyes of Diplomats Turned Toward Russia as the Powerful Ally of Greece. Grecian Leader Warned. War in grim earnest raged Sunday in Crete. Just a week previous the fleets of the powers landed blue jackets at Canea to maintain the peace, and ostensibly to prevent Greek troops landing at that port. Sunday those same squadrons trained their big guns on the strongholds of the Cretan insurgents and shelled them from their position. It was a day of the most intense excitement in Hahpa. From earlymorning the insurgents had kept up a galling fire on the Turkish forts. The latter returned the leaden compliments with vigor, and what with the roaring of cannon ami the whiszing of bullets the peaceably inclined people in the town had a frightful experience. It became evident in the forenoon that the admirals on the cruisers were becoming uneasy over the condition of affairs. Dispatch boats flitted from war ship to warship and flag signals were exchanged, indicating that concerted action was being arranged. Meanwhile the decks of the cruisers were being prepared for action. Guns were unmasked ami marines were lined up to meet all emergencies. The socalled rebels had been warm'd by couriers bearing white flags that if their firing did not cease the battle ships would take a hand in the desperate melee. These warnings were seoffingly disregarded, for upon their receipt the fusillade from rebel rifles only increased. The time for action had come, and the tremendous roar of a discharged shell shook Halepn as if an earthquake had occurred beneath it. The first shot had come from Italian boats, and speedily all the other war ships joined in the bombardment.

The Cretan insurgents I were driven pell mell from behind their I breastworks, and, throwing away arms and accouterments, they hastily sought ' places of refuge from the hissing missiles ( of the fleet. The deadly ping of their bul- ; lets across the empty streets erased, and as the firing of the Dig war ships stopped the cloud of gunpowder smoke floated lazily northward over the calm sen.

None of the diplomats will talk, but. it is evident the attitude of England is perplexing the cabinet. While Salisbury has refused to join the proposed blockade of Piraeus, British war ships, if reports from Athens are to be credited, are helping the Turks. Meanwhile all Greece is rejoicing over their alleged control of the Island of Crete. A huge mass meeting was held at Athens, at which an address to the king was adopted pledging blood and treasure to maintain Grecian suprem ( acy in the island. HOBART'S NEV/ HOME.

Reparation Demanded for the Murder of an American in Uis Cuban Cell.

If he was murdered the Spanj ish Government will have to make pror pt ( reparation. The only information thus far received by this Government from Consul General । Lee is contained in two dispatches, one informing the department of Ruiz's arrest, and the second announcing his death in ! the Guanabacoa jail under suspicious circumstances. This cablegram called for a ' reply from the department, in which | Consul General Lee was instructed to make a prompt and full investigation. In- । structions were also cabled to Minister Taylor nt Madrid, as already stated. It is not true that Consul General Lee asked to have war ships sent to Havana. An oflicinl statement to this effect was made at the White House. The administration has no intention of sending a fleet to Cuban waters. HANNA TO BE SENATOR.

HOW UNCLE SAM SUFFERS The Cuban War Has a Bad Effect on Exports and Imports. The present Cuban revolutiop dates from Feb. 24, 1895. In the preceding year, 1894, the exports of all American ports to Cuba amounted collectively to more than $20,000,000. In the same year the imports into the United States from Cuba amounted to $75,670,000, making a total commerce between the two countries of about $95,000,000 in one year. The figures of the fiscal year of 1890 show the extent to which commerce between the two countries has fallen off. The total exports from American ports to Cuba were $7,500,000, or about 30 per cent of the former volume of business. From Cuba into the United States were imported during the same period goods to the value of $40,015,000, or about 55 per cent of the former volume of business. The chief item of American commerce with Cuba, the chief item of importation from Cuba into the United States, is, of course, sugar, and this item has fallen off about one-half. From 1895 to 1896 i the importation of sugar into the United States fell oft from 1,800,000,000 to 980,000.000 pounds, from $40,000,000 to $21.000,000. The other important items of import into the United States from Cuba are tobacco, bananas, drugs, wood and ore. The American exports ta-f.'qba jnclude in an ordinary year flour tcT the amount of 600,000 barrels (it has now fallen to about 300,000), coal to the amount of 400,000 tons, petroleum to the amount of 1 200,000 gallons (it is now 60,000), hams, J tallow, lard, cotton goods and machinery. . j The devastation Os Cuban plantations has .. ( not only reduced the number of exportaI ble products of Cuba, but it has, moreover, decreased the market in Cuba for Amerir can products, for the planters, having no j longer any valuable crops for export, are a unable to pay for the articles heretofore s sent to them from the United States, t It is estimated, on Cuban authority, that e apart from the actual expenses incident i- I to the prosecution of the war, the contint ( nance of hostilities is costing fully $75,- <■ (MKIJIOO a year. Os this sum, SSO,O(MJJM>O g ( is figured as the loss from the burned or I abandoned plantations, $500,000 from the

horses taken Jor use by the soldiers of either army, and $500,000 as the value of the cattle taken for the commissariat. The destruction of towns, railroads, bridges, stores and firms, goes to make up the balance of the loss. Cuba’s chief business is with the United States among foreign countries. NEW EABY AT HARRISON’S. Little Daughter Arrives at the Home of the Ex-P: o ident. The anxiously awaited advent of an heir at the residence of ex-President Harrison in Indianapolis took place at 5:30 o'clock I. K - ■ w : i ■Ki w. MRs. BENJAMIN HARRISON. Sunday morning, when Mrs. Ilarrison presented her distinguished husband with a daughter, weighing eight and three-quar-ter pounds. M’heu the announcement was made to the ex-President that the infant was a girl it was thought that a shade of disappointment passed over his face, but I it passed away as quickly as it came, and 1 he appeared to take much pleasure in tile new addition to his household. Telegrams to friends throughout the country ' were sent announcing the event, and many .-ongrat ulatury replies were received, some > of them from the most distinguished men ; ami women of the country. It will be a year the 19th of April sim-e the ex President was married to Mrs. i Mary Lord Dimmick of New York City, niece <>f his first wife. He is Gl years old and she is 42. The union has bei n most pleasant, although it was objected to by the two children of the genera!, neither of whom attended the marriage. During the last few months the children, it is said, have become more reconciled, and the daughter is said to have visited her father’s house during a recent trip to the city. The friends of the family have been expressing the hope that the advent of a little Harrison might make complete the reconciliation. Katherine, Lady Grantley, wife of Huron Grantley, and daughter of M’illiam H. McVicker of New York, is dead at London
