He took hi* h»t from the tai ■ and gravely held ■ out his hand. , - , She was frightened for a moment .1 with his imjMtssoe Abstraction.

His did not relax its I r-rpr.-c-1-.n. i. i ns he looked again nt the tray, with itsjo-oken viands before the door, the worn, stained hall carpet, or the waiter who shuffled pu»« him. He was apparently as critically conscious of thetn and of the close doors of , t and the attnoophere «> f li■ 11«-s.- | decay and faded extravagance around him as before the ii tei-v jew.Had the woman hcLibl just parted from watched him she would have supposed he still utterly disbelieved her story. But he was conscious that all | that he raw was a part of his degradation. for hr had believed every word she had uttered. Through all her extravagance, envy - ami revcngefulncss. he raw the central I truth -that he had lieen d<-ceiv«-d. not by his wife, but by himself. lie had ! suspected all this before this was what had been really troubling him. I this was what he had put aside, rather : than his faith, not In her, but in his ideal. He rememlvcred l-ttcrs that had jiassed between her and Capt- I’inkney —letters that she had o]x nly sent to no- - ! Ytorious rou t hern leaders, her nervous 1 (anxiety to remain at the rancho, the in- j Sntvendoet and significant glances of I friends which he put aside- -as he hail , . this woman’s message.! Susy had told him nothing new of his wife, but the truth of himself. And the c;ime from people whom he was conscious were the inferiors of himself and his wife. To an independent, proud and self-made man it was the : culminat iug stroke. In the same abstracted voice he told the coach nan to drive home. The return seemed interminable. I though he never shifted his position. Yet when he drew up nt his own door and looked at his watch.he found he hod bcen| absent only half an hour. Only half an hour! As he entered the house he turned with the same nlystrac- ; tion tovyard a mirror’ln the ball as if he had expected to see some outward and visible change in himaelf at that time. Dismissing hia servants to bed, he went into hisdreasing-room.completely changed hia attire, put on a pair of long riding boots, and throA ing a aernpe over his shoulders, paused a moment, took a pair of stnall derringer pistols from a box. put them in hla poek.eta, and then slipped cautiously dpwn the staircase. A lack of confidence in his own domestics had'invaded him for the first time. The lights were out. He silently opened the door and waa in the ■treet. He walked haatih a few to a hvery stable, whose proprietor he | knew. UH first inquiry was for one , paiticuW horse the mo { for l» fWprm HfippUf 1

were in. The proprietor asked no question of a customer of (.Tarence’s condition. The horse, half Spanish, powerful and irascible, was quickly saddled. As Clarence mounted, the man, in an impulse of sociability, raid: "Saw you at the theater to-night, air.” “Ah!" returned Clarence, quietly gktering up the reins. “Rather a smart trick of that woman with the flag," he said, tentatively. Then, with a possible doubt ofjhis customer’s jKjlitics, he added, w ith a forced smile: “1 reckon it’s all party fuss, though—-thar any real danger.” But fast as Clarence might ride the words lingered in his cars. He sawthrough the'man’s hesitation he, too, had probably heard that Clarence Eriiht weakly . sympathized with his w ife’s sentiments- and dared not s|»eak i fii!!y. Apd he understood the cowardly ' suggestion' that ,t }»•-»• waa*’noreal dan- .1 g<:“ . I I t had l>een Clarence’s one fallacy. He j had Is lieved the public excitement was only a temporary outbreak of partisan feeling soon to subside. Even now he ( vv as conscious that he,was less doubtful of the Integrity of the union than of his own household. It was not the devotion of the patriot, but the indignation of an outraged husband t hat waa spurring him on. He knew that if he’rcnehed IVoodvillc by five, o’clock h<' would get ferried I across the bay to the embarcado ami catch the down coach to Fair Plains, • whence he could ride to the rancho. | As the coach did not connect directly | with San Francisco, the ehyince of hia j surprising them was greater.. Once clear of the city outskirts he j bullied Redskin into irascible speed, and plurged into the rainy darkness of the high xxwl. The vv ay was familiar. For i.wi.i.v he waa content’ to,'foel the buffeting, causevl by his rapid pace, of wind and rain against his depreaacd head and shouhlet .-, in a sheer brutal sense of opposition and pbweri or to relieve hl» pent-up excitement by dashing through dverflovved gullies in the road. O| across the quaggy, sodden cdg< -of nu ado.vv laud, until he had controlled Redskin's be’lious extravagance into a long, ktcsdy stride. Then he raised his head and straightened himself on the raddle —to think. But to no purpose. He had no plgq; everything would depend uiron the situation; the thought, of forestalling any action of the conspirators, by warning or calling in the aid of the authorities, for an instant crossed his mind, but was as instantly dismissed. Hq hhd but an instinct, to see with his ow n eyes vv hat his reason told him was true. Day was breaking through drifting scud and pew ter-colored clones as lie j reached- ’ Woodvilpl ferry, checkered : with 'splashes of the soil and thespume . of I s horse, from whose neck find flunks the sweat rolled like lather. J Y<-t he was not conscious how intent hnd bceu his purjx>se until he felt a sudden instinctive shock on swing that the ferryboat was gone! For an instant his wonderful wdf-possession al andoned him; he couhl only gaze vacantly at th<- leaden-color* <1 bay without a thought or e-’cilicnt, but in 'another mo'inent he raw that the boat was returning from the distance. Had he lost his chance? He g!ai d hurriedly fit bla watch; he had come quicker than he imagined j there would still be time. He beckoned H» into Ux> r*lay dsrknet* ot U-e Sic I ynpatieutly to it»c ferryman. The boat, ' a ship’s pinnace. wni» two’nwi in it, i crept in with’ exa*perafiiig shnVness. At l ist the two rowers,sullenly itop i ashore- • s e might have come w ith the : other passenger. We don’t reckon to run lightuin’ trijm on this ferry.” But, ( larvnee was himsc!f again. "Twenty dollars for two more oars in that boat.” he raid, quietly, "and SSO if you get me over in time to catch the down stagy.” . „ . . The mau glanced at Clarence’s eyes. "Run up and rouse our Jake and Sam,” he raid to the other boatman; then more leisurely, gazing nt his customer’* travel stained equipment, he raid: ’There must have been a heap o’ passengers got left by last night's boat. You're the second man that took this route in a hurry.” . At any other time the coincidence might have struck Clarence. But he | only anowcred cuirtly: T uless we arc : under way in ten minutes you will : find I am not the second man. and that ( our bargain's off.” ' ■ • But here two men emerged from the nhanty beside the ferry house and tumbled sleepily into the boat, Clarence seized an extra pair of scull* I that were standing against the shetl ( and threw them Into the stern. “I don’t mind taking a hand myself for e.xer- | else.” he raid, quietly. ‘ The ferryman glanced again at (’)arence’s travel-worn figure and determined eyes with mingled approval and surprise. He lingered a moment with his oars lifted, looking at his passenger. “It aip’t no business o* mine, young ! man." he said, deliberately, “but 1 reckon you understand me when I ray that I've just taken another man over there." “I do.” raid Clarence, impatiently. “And you st ill w ant to go’.’" “Certainly." raid Clarence, w ith s cold •tare, taking up his oer. The man shrugged his shoulders, bent himself for a stroke and the Ixxat sprang forward. The others rowed strongly and rapidly, the tough ashen blades ' springing like steel from the w ater, the heavy boat seeming to leap in succes- | she bounds until they were fairly beI yond the curving inshore current and ! clearing the placid, misty aurfaeeof the [ bfiyClarence did not speak, but bent aL- | straetediy to hia oar; the ferryman and , hifii-rew rowed inequalrpantfai; silence. * few startled ducks whirred before 1 them, but dropped again to mt.

In half an hour they were at the Embarcado. The time was fairly up; Clarence’s eyes were eagerly benf for the first appearance of the stage coach around the little promotory; the ferryman was as eagerly scanning the bare, empty street of the still sleeping settlement. ■ , “1 don’t see him anywhere," said the ferryman with a glance, half of astonishment and half of curiosity, at his solitary passenger. "See whom?” raid Clarence, carelessly as he handed the man his promised fee. ' 1 ? ! t ', * ' . " ■ ."The other man I ferried over to catchHhe stage. He must have gone on w ithout vv siting. You’re in luck, young fellow." “I don’t understand you,” said Clarence, impatiently. “What has your previous passenger to do w ith me?” “Well, 1 reckon you know best. He’s the kind of man, gin’rally speaking, that other men in a powerful hurry don’t care to meet, and as a rule I don't toiler arter. It’s gin’rally the other way." “What do you mean?" said Clarence, sternly. “Who are you speaking of?” “The chief of i>oliee of San Francisco!” - CHAPTER 11, The laugh that instinctively broke from Clarence's lips was so sincere and unaffected that the man was disconcerted, and at last joined in it, a little shamefacedly.’ The grotesque blunder of being taken as a Digit iyefrom justice, relieved ( iarence's mimT*f«(jgi its acute tension, he was momentarily di- j verted, and it was not until the boat- - rian had departed and he was again qione that it seemed to have any collateral significance. Then an uneasy recollection of Susy’s threat that she )>a<l the power to put ; his wife in Fort Alcatrez came across him. I Could she have already warned the municipal authorities, and this man — I but he quickly remembered any action from such a warning could only have been taken by the United States marshal, and not by a civic official, and dismissed the idea. Nevertheless, when the stage with its half-spent lamps still burning ’dimly against the morning light swept round the curve and rolled heavily up to the lice, be became watchful. A single yawiriiig individual jn its doorway received a few letters and parcels, but Clarence .was evidently the ! only waiting passenger. Any hope that he might have entertained thathismysterious predecessor would emerge from some seclusion at that moment, was disappointed. As he entered the coach he made a rapid survey Os his fellow-travelers, but satisfied himself that the stranger was not among them. They were mainly small traders or farmers, a miner or ' two. qnd nppa’rently a Spanish-Amer-ican of .better degree and personality. Possibly the circumstance that men of this class usually preferred to travel on horseback and were rarely seen in public.conveyances attracted his attention. and their eyes met more than once, in mutual cariosity. Presently Clarence addressed a rematk to him in Spanish. He replied fluently and courteously, but atjthe next J’’-*'’! he asked a question of the «xpressman in an unmistakable Missouri accent. Clarence's curiosity was satisfied; he w-ns evidently oue of those early American settlers w ho hail Ix'en so longdi'utieilevl in southern California as to adopt the speech as well as the habiliments of the Spaniard., The conversation fell upon the [X»litical n* w s of the previous night, or rather seemed to Abe lazily continued from * some previous more exciting discussion, in which one of the contestants, a redbearded miner, had subsided into an oc-casional-grow 1 of surly dissent. It struck Clarence thut the Missourian had been on amused auditor, and-even, judging, from a twinkle .in his eye, a mischievous instigator of the controversy. He was net hur_|ir':sed. therefore, when the man turned" to him with a certain'courtesy and sni<l: "And w bat. sir. is the political feeling in your ilistrict’.’" ’ ?’■ Bui Clarence- was mood to be drawn., and replied, almost curtly, that . - h- had come only from Sun Francis- : co, they were probably as well informed | un that subject as himself. [ A quick and searching'glance from \ the stranger’s eves made bim regret it, i but in the silence that ensued the redi bearded passenger, evidently still runk- - Ung at heart, raw his opportunity. Slapping his huge bunds on hifi-knees, i and leaned far forward, until be seemed to plunge his flaming beard-*-like a firebrand—into the controversy, he raid grimly: “Well, I kin tell you genT'men this! It ain’t goin' to be no matter wot’s the jxvlitieai feeling here or thar—it ain’t goin’ to be no matter wot’s state’s ■rights anti wot’s fcd’ral rights it ain’t goin’ to be no question whether the gov’ment’s got the right to relieve its own soldiers that those secesh is besieging in Fort Sumter, or whether they haven’t—but the first gun that’s I fired at the flag bidws tbe chains off ■ every blamed nigger jwvuitb of Mason and Dixon’s line! Y’ou hear me' I’m shoutin’! And wbother you call yourselves ’secesh,' or ’union,’ or ’copperhead,’ or ’pCace men.’you got to face it!” There was an angry start in one or two of the seats; one man. caught at t the swinging side strap and half rose,a husky voice begun: “It’s a confounded--,” and then all as suddenly subsided. Every eye was turned to an insignificant .figure in the back seat. It was a woman holding a child on her lap and gazing out of the window with her sex’s profound unconcern in politics. CTarenee understood. the rude chivalry of the road w ell enough to comprehend that this unconscious but omnipotent figure had, more than once that day. control lev! the jmssions of the disputants. They dropived back weakly to their seats, and their mutterings rollevl off in the rattle of the wheels. Clarence glanced at the Missourian. He was regarding the red-bearded miner i with a singular curiosity.

ASK THE GOVERNMENT TO ACT. Indignation Meetings Held In England to grotest Against Sultan's Cruelty. London, Sept. 19. —Mass meetings to express the indignation felt against the sultan were held Friday night in Birmingham and other cities iu England. Resolutions vycre adopted which in general terms called upon the government to take immediate and active steps to end the reign of terror in Turkey. In Bristol and elsewhere amendments to the resolutions were offered urging Great Britain Ao act forcibly, alone if necessary, but these amendments were defeated. ' Constantinople, Sept. 17.—Turkish official circles have issued a circular in w hich they say they cannot understand either the blind rage of the English • press against the Turkish government or the sympathy expressed for the Armenian anarchists, whose plans are merely a repetition of the homb-throw-ingofthe IrisliFeniansand their menacingof English buildings for the purpose of compelling the British government to come to terms. The Armenian revoiu- > tionists, the statement declares, have formed an infamous coalition with nihilists and anarchists'and all demolishers of society. Since the issuing of the Hynchakish circular 3,000 Armenians have been arrested, and »he exodus of Armenians continues. The Turkish officials declare that they have discovered a quantity of bombs and dynamite in the Ilalidjisglou quarter. Owing to 'he Turkish government’s i communication to th’e embassies of the i powers in regard to rumors of another i Armenian outbreak here, the embassies I here have deputed the foreign consuls’ to authorize the police to enter foreign houses when necessary and arrest Ari mcnians throwing bombs or shooting ( therefrom., . It is feared in high quarters that a .Mussulman movement is afoot against the sultan, and military measures on an I extensive scale have been adopted.

A LUMBERMAN’S EXPERIENCE. ♦ Thrown a Great Distance and Unconscious for TwentyFour Hours. From the Brtne. Bellaire, Mich. James F. Rose, a gentleman sixty-three years of age, and one of the oldest settlers of Helena Township, In Antrim County, Michigan, tells the following story: “I was work.ng with some large logging wheels, lumbering some eighteen years ago, and was seriously injured. 1 was thrown a long distance, striking on some logs and I broke tny left hip, fractured three ribs, and injured my left shoulder. I was unconscious twenty-four hours, and it wara long time before I could walk at all. “Finally I got so I could hobble around a little, but always suffered great pain while moving about. I could sit in a chair quite comfortably but could only get up after great difficulty and by helping myself with my hands or with other assistance. “I had c. nsulted physicians .and tried a good many remedies but with ho satisfactory results. “"We read of the Marshal case, of Hamilton, Ontario, a wonderful cure attributed to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. 1 sent for a box ot them, and w. s helped at once, and by the time I ha I taken one box I could get- up out of a chair as spry as any one. amt could run, and do any kind of work 1 ever could. “Since taking Pink Pills I have been able to work at such work aS - sawing wood—ro'ling logs, in fact, 1 have no occasion to favor myself, on account of my injury. Why, last summer 1 dug a ditch eighty rods long and two feet deep. 1 attribute my freedom from pains entirely to Pink Pills. It )s a wonderful medicine.
