CHAPTER XV. When Beatrix entered the grounds, she law three gentlemen all waiting for her —the Duke of Heathland looking quite sure of her, yet vaguely expectant; the Prince de Ferros with his dark ejes fol lowing her sadly; and quite apart from ' the others. Beltran Carew with a lotus Bly in his hand. Lady Rayner was there. looking very fragile mid very lovely in bine and -i ' er. Beatrix f< It greatly relieve.) when Lady Rayner joined her. The two Indies i ide b beautiful picture standing under the green trees Lady Rayner, so fair and I fragile, with her golden hair and sweep Ing train of blue and silver; Beatrix. like a picture by one of the old masters, uhi her dark, splendid eyes, her richly col 'ed face, and her trailing dress of white lace and scarlet silk. Every one admired them. One by one the gentlemen left less lovely women and gathered r un : them. Beatrix longed for one word fr m Beltran. He sto< 1 leaning caret-"'.y against the trunk of a tree, wi'l; 'lie .s lily in bis ' it. I. The duke, on her rig! hand, suggested a row in one of the pretty pleasure-beats; the prince, on her left, was toying croquet players. "Go with the duke, my dear." sa d Lady I.ennox. "I am sure a row on the hike will be very pleasant." Beatrix knew well that if she went npon the take with the duke there would be what she wished so much to avoid -a love scene. She turned to Lady Rayner. “Will you go with us?" she said; and Lady Rayner, seeing the distress in her face, consented. Beltran had hided his time. When the boat touched the green glittering banks again, he was there to help Beatrix. Ihe duke, whose wooing had made so little progress, looked angrily at him; but a loaded cannon would not have cheeked | Mr. Carew. “Lady Lennox fears you will grow , faint. Miss Lennox," he said. "I promised her to show you where to find some strawberries and grapes." lYe duke angrily turned round. “Will you introduce this gentleman to ne, Miss Lennox?" he said, and Beatrix complied. With a look of mutual defiance the gentlemen raised their hats. will permit me to remark,' geid his grace, “that I am quite capable of attending to the requirements of the ladies whom I am honored by escorting.” “No doubt,” returned Beltran, calmly, “but a monopoly of honors, your grace, !s hardly fair. The sunshine has been on the lake: permit it now to brighten the bind." Then, bowing with the air of a prince, he offered his arm to Beatrix, Lady Rayner looking on with an amused smile. Beatrix turned with a bow and graceful words of thanks to the duke. “It was very pleasant on the water," she said. “But I think mamma is right । —a little fruit will be very refreshing. ■ Will you come with us? Lady Rayner I looks tired.” After that he could do nothing but ask ■ Lady Rayner to take his arm and follow j them. “Who is this gentleman?” he asked, ; half savagely. “Carew? 1 do not re- i member to have heard the name. What Carew is be, Lady Rayner? Do you know?” “He is the son of Mrs. Carew, the great ' artist; she is painting Miss Lennox’s por- j •trait—and a very beautiful picture it is." “I understand,” said his grace, in a ! more satistied tone. "I do not think it I quite in good taste to invite artists and ' people of that class everywhere, though; do you?” “That was a bold stroke,” said Beltran to the beautiful heiress. “I have i never attempted a bolder. How angry the duke looked! If these were the ‘good eld times,’ he would send ment challenge.” “Why should he? 1 have surely a right to please myself,” rejoined Miss Lennox. “I was tired of the water; it made my eyes ache; and the sun was very warm. 5I am quite content to be here.” 1 The reason of this was obvious; for Beltran, making what he considered a etill bolder stroke, had contrived, by turn- j Ing down a shady out-of-the-way path. I to lose sight of the duke and Lady Ray- '

net He found a pretty seat for Beatrix lander the close drooping branches of an I old cedar tree, and after a short absent: t brought tier some frawberri's. “This is like being in a green, silent eity.” he said. “How beautiful this old cedar is'.'’ “Yes, Miss Lennox, I like this Fairy- I Sand of ours,” he said. “So do 1,” said Beatrix. “It will seem «jnite strange to go cut into the garish । light of day.” “People do as they like in Fairyland,” remarked Mr. Carew. “I am going to be very presumptuous; but you have perfect i command over me—you can kill me with i a frown if you will, you can frighten me ; bo terribly with one cold look that I. should never have the courage to speak to you again.” “I do not think that I shall ever try to ' frighten you,” said Beatrix. “You have not yet heard my request, Miss Lennox. As I sit here, the odor of I those roses you are wearing conies to me I like a message—a sweet message full of ; hope, full of promise. I am going to ask you if you will give me one—just one—the little one with the green leaves, which just touches the white lace you wear. Will you?” “Yes,” she replied. Her face burned like flame as she un- 1 fastened it and gave it to him. He looked ' at her suddenly. Ji

“Have you ever given any one a flower ‘ before?” he asked. "No,” she replied' simply. “Then 1 shall treasure this one,” he said. “Miss Lennox, here is a lovely little leaf kiss it, will you?" She took the Hower from his hands and did as he requested. "1 did not think that 1 might presume so much," he said. “You are not angry I with mo. Miss Lennox?" ■‘Why should I be angry?” j “But it is the first you have ever given," i ho said; “that makes it priceless. j Beatrix smiled ami answered: i “I think we bad better go back to everyday life again, Mr. Carew.” ( HATTER XVI. Peter Lcnm.x had left the arrange , meats for a dinner party to his niece, and I •‘Prince Charlie's" daughter had imt act ; ed with her us ml transparent candor, j “Write out a list. Trixie." her uncle had I said. "Von kn w who s'. ■ 1 :m"'t those learned men far better than 1 do." and Beatrix made <mt a list w 1 ich ine’u led Lmiv Ravncr nr i excluded the Duke oi Heathland. Mr. Lennox had " ’ nMieed the omis sion, nor did he think of his grace < f Heathkind until the morning of the din- . nor par’y, and then it was po late to rec tify the oversight. "Why. Beatrix.” ho said, with a face i of dismay; "we have not asked the duke!" "No, uncle, we have n ■ she acknowl ; iedged. | "But vhy did you forget. Beatrix?" ho asked, somewhat surprised. "I intrusted j aII to you." "1 did not forget the duke, uncle; but | I thought that for once we might really : do without him.” Peter Lennox looked at his niece he could not understand her. “I should have thought that seeing him : here would have been a great pleasure to i you," he said; "but then 1 never did comprehend <>r understand women, ami 1 nev I er shall." । "I am not a woman, uncle," sho rejoined; "I am a girl." Miss Lennox went early into the draw ing room. She wanted to be there before i any of the guests arrived. Sho felt an I unaccountable shyness nt the thought of i meeting Beltian again. She longed and ■; yet tearc.l to see him! She was impatient I for his coming, and yet wished to run i away when he did come. Sho hoped he would never talk to her in that strange way again, yet she garnered each word in her heart. She sat looking at some pho i tographs and talking to Lady Lennox, yet all the time was listening intently for his footstep. She would hat e detected it amongst a thousand. Presently his mine? was announced, and tb.e proud face of "Trinee Charlie’s" daughter burned with deepest crimson; then she grew deadly pale, so pale that she was fain to hide it for a few moments over the photographs, until sho fancied it had regained its natural color. Very quickly, however, she rose with her usual proud, careless grace, with the harmonious movement peculiar to her, and returned his greeting. She raised her fair । face to his, but the dark eyes were dropped, and did not meet his own. During i the evening Beltran was very attentive ! to Lm’y Lennox, who had a siucere liking j for him. Fortune favored him he took Beatrix ; down to dinner; and if any one had given । his attention to them, he would have seen | how very secondary a matter dinner was I to Beatrix and Beltran Carew. The scientific genth men had to leave early—they were due at a conversazione at some hall- ami several other gentlemen, Peter Lennox included, left with them. Lady Rayner had to be present at : a ball given by one of her husband's relatives. The party dwindled until Beltran remained alone with Lady Lennox and Beatrix. Lady Lennox looked fatigued. “You are tired, mamma,” laughed Beatrix. “It is of no use looking amiable, and saying that you are not tired. Those scientific friends of Uncle Peter’s have kept your mind on the stretch for hours. You have entertained them well, and you shall rest.” In her caressing, loving fashion sho made her mother lie down upon a couch. She ordered a cup of tea for her, ami

found her an amusing book. “My el( ar,” said the gentle lady, “yon make me quite ashamed. What will Mr. ; < bn-w think?” • “Sever mind Mr. Carew, mamma,” • laughed Beatrix. “He makes quite as i much fuss with his own mother.” > It was a pleasant home-scene the pla.'nd lady cn the couch, her affectionate ■ daughter anxiously solicitous for her com- ! fort; the handsome man, so tenderly at- , temive; the room ail golden in the li"ht ,of the pearly lamps. Beltran road for . them for some minums, and then B< atrix . looked up at him with her finger on her lips. "Mamma is asleep," she whispered. She I drew the lace shawl round her face and head. “I need not excuse her to you, i knotting that .ton love your own mother Iso weil. My dear mother is not very i strong; she needs much care. She has • had great sorrow in her life.” I They sat quite silent for some few ' minutes - perhaps the same thought was | Hitting through the mind of both, that it was a home-scene. Then Beatrix looked up at him. “This is dull for you,” she said. Lady Lennox stirred, and Beatrix held up her finger in warning. “If we must talk,” she whispered, “we I must leave mamma. Come out on the bal- | cony and watch the moon rise.” J She took up a rose-colored scarf of

Lady Lennox’s and wrapped It round bey shoulders; and then, drawing aside the white lace hangings, they went out on t 0 the balcony together. “What a sweet summer night!” said Beltran. “Tell me about the summer nights,on Loch Narn. ’ They talked so happily, so easily, ns though they bad known each other for years. Beatrix forgot her shyness. She only remembered how clever he was, h ow like everything she had dreamed that was noble and gifted in man. After a time she asked him about bis profession, ami ho spoke of it to her in a simple frankhearted fashion that delighted her. Once she gathered a spray of jasmine that lay near her hand. “How beautiful the color of that leaf is!" she said; and he bent over her to look at it. The fragrance from the scarlet rose hi her dress reached him. He could not account for the madness that seized him; he bent bis head and kissed the white hand that held the spray of jasmine. She did not itbuke him; that appeared somewhat strange to him. '1 ho little hand trembled for a minute in his clasp, !U id

then lay still. He dared not trust himself to speak; all the hot. passionate words that seemed to surge from his heart Io his lip's xt ere driven back relentlessly; so tempted, so sorely tempted w as he to clasp her in his arms for one moment. The impulse was strong; he trembled as he resisted it. .Just then there was a sound in the room. . "Mamma is awake," said Beatrix. De bent over her and whispered hurriodlj : , ~ , . “Tell me. when and n here shall I mem JOU ax. in? Be kind to me. The time is approa hing when it will not be so easj to see you.” “We shall be nt the ••pern to-morrow evening.” she said. "Yon can come to enr box."

If Lady Lennox had be- a one degree keener, that "good night must have told its own story. ch \th:r xvii. Beltran saw Beatrix nt the opera the next evening, "here she sat with the Dm bess of Elmslie in that In ly s b< \. But the presence of tlw Duke of D>a:!iland, who was also there, prevented any tender intimacies. On the following evening one of Bel trail’s professional acqmimtnimcs a persevering, stolid j* nag barrister of the Temple said to^iiim: “I saw you nt the opera last night; that was the beautitid Mis< Lea'.ox you were with. 1 saw the Duke of D nthland, too. Are you taken c: ptive, Bel tran?” "I have the greatest iidmiration for Mi.-s L'nnox," 1 ■ replied, 1 mightily. “Tako my advice ami let it be nothing more than admirati-m.” said the other. “I was tifraid it had gone further than that; ami with the gol.’en pr success il at irra be no greater evil for you, my dear b- j. than tin iiid::i;q>y love." " There is no thought about love,” declared Beltran, haughtily . “Even if there were, l do not see why it must be unhappy." "But 1 do.” opposed his friend. “Miss Lennox is hein ■ s of En eldenn; she is the niece ami heiress of a millionaire. Yon have nothing b it what you earn by your own industry. There is no similarity between sm h lots. The world w ill say strange things of you if you appear as the admirer i f a great heiress." Beltran Carew sat in his rorn alone that night, lie had never thought so long or so seriously in his life before. The few careless words that his fellow barrister hud spoken had pierced his inmost heart, lor the first time he realized the difference in the social p< sition of Miss Lennox and himself, and saw plainly what the world would think of him how the world would judge and calumniate him. She was the heire-s of a miliion*aire, he was a barrister si niggling at the commencement of his career. "1 wish 1 could make her a princess nr a duchess." he said. “Eor the first time in my life I envy the rich man his title and his wealth. 1 would fain be a prince 1 would fain have a dukedom." Then he thought to himself that, after all, the grandest honors, noblest titles, were those a man won for himself. Ah, if lie could but win them! “So I can," he mused, ami he stretched out his strong hands as he threw the hair back from his brow "I have the strength and the energy; but then I could not ask l;er to spend the best years of her sweet life waiting for me. It would not be fair, it would not be just I cannot do il." ’There was only one thing for him to do, but he decided upon going to see his mother before he did it. ('To be continued.)

Touch Elbows Again, Nearly 50,000 war-worn veterans, with the President of the United States at their head, made the triumphal march of the Grand Army of the Republic in Buffalo Wednesday. For more than six hours the grizzled but undaunted remnants of the armies of the republic poured through the streets in lines of undulating blue, amid the martial crash of bands and the frenzied huzzas of a patriotic populace. Nearly half a million spectators watched the glorious ]>ageant and bombarded the marching legions with the roar of their ceaseless cheering. For two hours President McKinley stood in the reviewing stand, with Com mander-in Chief Clarkson ami Gov. -Frank S.

A living >bP-M of 2.<>00 children stirred the hearts of the veterans to responsive theers by singing "Marching Through Georgia," “Rally Round the 1 lag and ♦ther songs of happy memory. A band of Retty maidens in tri-cdored costumes strewed the pathway of the I’resm-nt with flowers and f-ni’, and were rewarded with his kii.diit st smih’S. I’nenns of Joy at i very Step. Through such scenes, with the glories of the flag on every hand and paeans of joy nt every step, moved this pageant of peace, this relie of war. The heavens, too, smiled benignantly. Tte day was perfect. A shower during the night freshened the ntmesphere. During the parade the sun sh<>ne brilliantly, but there was a pleasant breeze, ami the , weather VUS not uncomfortably hot. The . ju-rind of proud banners glinted in old ■ i^l s rays in their brightest luster, ami th; faded, tattered battle flags, many of tbym furled to save their wasting remwfhts, were kissed into new radiance and giory. The day was ushered in with a sunrise Mlute of forty-five guns. At S o’clock Main street was choked. An hour latei ttrtttns were beating and a hundred bands i were playing, echoing and Jarring each ; other’s accents. Mounted otlwers were j dashing hither ami thither, giving tin- t sharp orders. Sabers and burnished shleldsflnshed in the sunlight. There was everywhere what seemed to the civilian s i p ye confusion and consternation, but tmt 80 to the sturdy old soldiers in the blue c °ats. It was all orderly and beautiful ; to them. They loved it. It was a taste of the old life. J t was shortly after 10 o'clock u hep a | B QUad of mounted police left the terrace, j a R qunre in the'business part of the city. ur "l the crowd announced the beginning ol . tlle Parade with shouts of “Here they come,” Jt was nearly 5 o’clock when the las t weary veterans trudged by the rev^Wing stand, two miles from the tern We, >pj le ]j lie of march was up Main Bt reet to Chippewa, thence to Delaware ^ftine, !ln d north on that aristocrats 1,lo roiighfaro lined with the homes of the ° ld Emilies of the city.

stand, which was at the end of the twomile march. Two hundred young women scattered along the route, attired in gowns of red, white and blue, scattered flowers before his carriage. When the President, standing on the reviewing stand, caught sight of the tattered war flags of the armies of Illinois he ]>ut down his hat. and clapped his hands, exploding a demonstration which rolled down the line like the booming of cannon. 1 he whole route was over smooth asplialt i»a\( ments, the first march of the kind, Gen, Alger said, lie had ever beheld. '1 he President’s reviewing stand was at the intersection of North street and Richmond avenue. Approaching the stand the army moved west in Noltli street. Double rows of trees, whose branches met overhead, made a green canopy above the last half-mile of the march. It looked as if the army was coming out of a fairy-book forest. To the west, the situation was the same. The foliage heightened the colors of the fluttering flags as the army wound past the stand. Railroad ofllcials say that 300.000 is a । low estimate of the number of visitors in Butialo. The police arrangements were admirable. Persons having grand stand tickets found their seats readily, and the ,>00,(100 persons who wanted to see the parade were kept well in hand. h’eccptioiK of the Kveiiinu. Despite the fact that President McKinley was exceedingly weary, he met the local committee at night just after dinner, and accompanied by Gov. Black, went to Music Dall to meet the general imblie. The strain of the day was, however, too much for flesh and blood, and after he had greeted about 3,000 persons individually he was compelled to leave the hall. Fully 20.000 persons blocked the streets in the vicinity of the hall and ex- | pressed their disappointment at not being permitted to shake the President's hand. Leaving Music Dull, the President was driven to the Buffalo Club, whore he received th.- I.o'al Legion. At 10:45 he went to the Niagara Hotel for the night. MINE OWNERS AT SEA. Combine of the Pig Coal Operators Is Hudly Shattered. A' Pittsburg Wednesday, the coal op- . , r< pra- ally split and went homo. They held a session in the forenoon and gn<> •ut a statement that they would "cont nue the struggle abrng the 'ines that nriy appear to lie the most productive of •' •• rcsul-H desired in the interests of

• minor and operator alike.” None of them ' could explain what this meant. In the afternoon, after a conference of some of the leading shippers to the lakes, another statement was given out by Operator J. U. Dysart. It contained, the in- i formation that another committee Lol • been appointed to continue the work of ; getting the mines in operation, which had . been started last week in Cleveland. As the statement issuer! in (lie forenoon said . that all committees had been discharged, the conflict of statements caused some inquiry as to what the operators really i meant. Inquiry failed to bring any re-

j suit except the impression that they are tryirg to find “where tin y are at.” At the forenoon meeting some of the ! anti-lake shippers proposed that the opi orators pay the 69 cent rate pending nrI bit ration. This was opposed by the i •prosentatives of the big companies, who have boon running the mootings. The meet ing adjourned without either side coming to any conclusion. BORDA IS ASSASSINATED.

Idiarte Borda was elected president of Uruguay for the term extending from March, 1894, to 1898. The fete at which he was assassinated was being held In celebration of the independence of Uru-

guay, which was achieved on Aug. 2!Y The assassination of President Sir 1825. The assassination of President Idiarts Borda of Uruguay was not altogether a surprise to ollicials in AVashington who have watched the recent, outbreaks in Uruguay. 1 his was the second attempt on the president’s life, the former being made April 21 last by a crazy student named Revecea. 1 he last issue of the Montevideo Times, received in Washington, states that the president remained away from the state home in evident fear of his life. At the time x junta of those seeking to overthrow the government had established active operations at the capitol. The assassination of the president doubtless will bring the country to a revolutionary crisis, which has been long impending. The revolution thus far had been confined to the country districts, where several extensive engagements had been fought, the Government forces securing the advantage. There is no Uruguayan representative in Washington. At the time of Senor Borda’s election he belonged to the oflieial party, and was elected by a narrow majority. The people, it was said, were sadly disappointed at the result, but order and quiet was maintained. The leading papers of Uruguay deplored the election of Senor Borda and declared that it marked a reaction in the country’s progress. SHORTAGE IN EUROPE. > Cereal and Potato Crops Are Small arid the Situation Is Grave. An extensive inquiry into European crop conditions conducted by the Orange Judd syndicate of agricultural papers indicates that the food crop situation abroad is very grave. Estimates of the needs of wheat imports for Europe, including England, range all the way from 300,000,000 to 400,000,000 bushels. Europe’s wheat crops for 1805, 1894 and 1893 averaged about 1,500,000,000 bushels. In the famine year of IS9I it was only 1,200,000,0(W. ’The impression is gaining ground that Europe's wheat crop this year is even less than in 1891. But this is not the worst of it. Europe usually produces as much rye ns she does wheat. It is the bread grain of the masses. The rye crop of the principal European countries (Russia, Germany, France, Austria, Bulgaria, R mmania and Italy and the low countries and Sweden) has Averaged about 1,300,(XIO.OOO bushels annually for 189*5, 1895, 189 J and 1893. This season the rye crop

of these countries cannot much exceed s7,~,,iMio.ma। bushels. Quite as bad is the potato prospect. Only about 1,850,000,000 bushels of potatoes will be harvested in these countries this year. Without regard to the United Kingdom or other European countries, there is a shortage of some 1,0(l0,000,<X)O bushels of potatoes. European shortage m bushels compared with the average follows: Wheat 300,000,000 Rye 325,000,00’1 I’otatoes 1,000,000,000 Total 1.625,000,000

DOLAN ARRESTED. Miners* I,- ader Is Charged with Violating Ant i-March ing Injunction. , P’ rick Dolan, district president of the l ifted Mine Workers of America, was , arroste l in Washington < 'minty. I n., : while leading a la By of marchers on a । public highway past the Allison mine of । Cook A Sons, near McGovern station. Ever since the strike started the miners 1 haii> been making daily marches from their camp to the mine. From the mme to the iadrond there is a tramway, under । whicn runs the public road known as the Wuhmgton pike. Wednesday morning, with a band at their head, about 4ut) : marchers tramped along the pike and , passed under the tramway. On their return they were stopped by deputy sheriffs I and told they could not pass under the . tramway, but must return to their camp by crossing a field ami coming down the railroad. 1 he marchers decided to remain where they were and communicated with President Dolan by telegraph. He arrived I shortly after 4 o’clock and made a speech to the strikers. He said the deputy sheriffs had no right to stop them from marching on the public thoroughfare as long as their mission was a peaceful one, and told them he would lead the procession. The band, with Dolan at its head, and the marchers following, then started down the road to go under the tramway and on to the camp. When Dolan reached the tramway he was told by the deputy sheriffs that he could go no farther. When he wanted to know* the reason why he was told that such a'move was a violation of the law and the injunction. This Dolan denied and the arrest followed. He was taken to Washington on the first train, while the marchers returned tu their camp.
