When I had read tho last word,
and the famous name appended, I
throw my hut up ill the air, I stamped,
I shouted, I could havo rolled on tho
turf in my extravagant joy and then
I seized the little doctors hands, and
nearly wrung them off his arms.
••Stop!" he cried, "stop! Who
would havo thought you were so
strong'"' Then 1 let him go so sud-
denly that ho nearly fell backwards,
and back I tore into Smuggler's
Hole.
"Keep your box!" I shoutod, "keep
it and bad luck to you! Your socrei i-i
no secret now, an 1 tho woman you
could have saved, and would not, i-
saved without you. Listen stand-
ing opposite him, while Dr. Cripps
placidly sat down just insido the
door, I translated tho telegram into
Austrian to him.
"So." he said calmly, though his
face was that of a defeated devil,
••you Knglish are not such fools us I
suppojeJ. You do sometimes hear
of what goes on in other places; but
you have poor stomachs -you are
not strong men like we are, and our
meat is your poison."
"Thank Cod, yes!" I oriel, "we
can support life without being
slaves to a degrading habit sucli a.->
yours."
Tho Styrian thrust out his lips
with a gesture of utter contempt.
"Have you any bad habits that can
show such results as ours?" ho said
scornfully, "or any drug that will
keep tho skin anil hair sleek and
glossy, just as it will make an ani-
mal plump, ami strengthen its
breathing organs.1 It gives us clear-
ness of skin, and increases powers of
digestion: it enables our herdsmen
laden with heavy burdons to climb
mountains without fatigue, and it
gives us courage, tho courage that
comes from perfect health and
strength. Look you, Seth Treloar
came to me with bones showing
through his skin, and only one
thought in his mind, how he could
get drink. I soon taught him there
was somothing better than drink,

ho sufTorod burning pains in his
mouth, throat an 1 stomach, lor ho
was no hardy mountaineer whoso
forefathers had oaten arsenic
from genoration to generation,
and who commence 1 the prac-
tice in early youth, but I kept his
courage up, and soon he got to love
it as he lovod his drink. Cursed ba
the day," ho wont on savagely, "in
which ho crossed my path; he has
robbed mo, he has foolod mo, ho
brought me hithor to b; treated liko
a dog. and here I should have died
but that 1 am stronger than most of
my race, and hard to kill. I could
not dio—ah, I would not," he added,
striking tho ground with bis clench-
ed list. "But that fool," ho wont on
aftor a pause, "whan he awoke to
find himself there'' (he pointed
downwards), "in the dark, alone,
with no tight, and his box gone, no
doubt ho thought himself buried
alive, and out of pure four and rage,
for want of his ar-enic, diod. He
ulwuys was a coward; if he hud
mado up his mind to endure his
agony for a few hours, daylight
would havo shown him the means of
oscupe, and ho would be living now."
"I must ba off," broke iu Dr.
Cripps. "I don't know how those
po >r creatures are getting on. And
I hope I leave you quite happy, sir.
Poor Judith, poor girl—but tho
future will make handsome amends."
"One moment," I said. "I must get
an order from a magistrate to dotaiu
this man as ho has important
evidence to givo in Judith's favor. I
won't watch him another night, but
ho must bo put in safe custody
somewhere."
"<)! Tregonnel will see about that."
s.ild Dr. Cripps, "ho is our nearest
magistrate, and I shall bo passing his
vory door. Come back with mo, and
I will drop you thoro. Havo you
broakfasted ?" ho added, looking
keenly at me.
"No, I was too anxious toscoyou. "
"My housekeeper will givo you a
mouthful, coino along. So that
lollow has found his appetite?" I:e
added, looking at tho Styrian and
the empty cup ;.nd platter beside
him, as ho went out.
"Yes, I never thought to see him
eat again," and I told the doctor the
night's events.
Ho listened with the doepost in-
terest, and was now sufficiently com-
forlab'e in his own person ti pity ino.
"You've had a rough time of it," ho
said kindly, "out you've reason to bo
proud of the way you've undone
your mistake. To bo sure it ull
sounds wildly improbable, and if
Judith is tried again, tho jury may
refuse to bollovo a word of It but I
take It that she is now practically a
free womun. To lie sure she has
lost her child, but time will mend [
that."
That night the Styrian slopt under
unother roof than mine, and until

CHAPTKR XVII.
Judith's case was not re-tried, but
tho now ovidonce was duly laid be-
fore the Home secretary, and shortly
afterwards supplemented bv tho
written statement of the Styrian,
who, wearying at last of his confine
ment, and having told all ho knew,
was suffered to depart
So that in due leisurely course,
her majesty's most gracious pardon
was extended to Judith for a crime
which she had never eommittod, and
on tho morning she was set free a
curious and pretty sceno was enacted
outside the jail gates, at which 1
gladly assisted. For thither came
Hocking matrons and maids, men and
youths, little children with chubby
hands quite full of flowers, and even
old gaffers and gammers leaning on
their sticks eager to swell the note
of welcome that was roady to burst
forth at sight of tho woman whom
ono and all had so cruelly misjudged.
Not a matron there but had put on
her smartest finery, not a man but
was redded up us if ho wore bent on
courting, half a dozen girls ha 1 Ijoen
docked out in all tho available white
clothes of the community, and car-
ried in tho'r apions the tlowers of

tage gardeus to throw at Jddith's

will. and in what numbers it was to
be uttended.
Mingling with the crowd, whose
eyes nover left the yet unopened
door through which Judith must

gown, her head was uncovered, but
Stephen was in his fisherman's garb,
an 1 looked more like Antinous than
over, if one can e: er picture tho
young Creok as perfectly happy.
I thought the vehemence of their
welcome at first hurt her. for she
pressed close to Stephen, but once
the gates were thrown back, and
they wero surrounded by that im-
petuous crowd, sho smiled and put
her arms round Nance, who was the
very first to reach her.
'•Awh, Judith, woman!" said
Nance, kissing her hungrily, "I
niver doubted 'ee 'dearie, an' it baint
my fault I've not bin anighst 'oe."
•'Kh, but I missed 'eo, Nance,"
said Judith, and lirst one, then
unother, must shake hor hand, and
tho little ones must srive her thoir
tlowers, but I saw her take up tho
smallest of them all, and bow hot-
head upon its dimpled neck, ami I
knew that in ull the glory and sun-
shine of hor day was ono sombro
cloud.
When each and all had said their
word, and very sweet and whole-
somo many of them were, the
maidens took matters into their own
hands, and placing Judith and
Stephen iu their midst, with many
droppings of flowers, and liftings of
pleasant voices in Cornish song,
they took their way through the
gaping town and suuny path that
wound down the cliff to Trevenick.
Strangers to the place stared at
the gay procossion that had so long
and happy a following, closed in by-
young and old toddlers of both
sexes. The sea-wind blew back the
girls' white drossos. and sweeter
grew their voices till in tho dis-
tance they died away, and many a
kindly wish and hopeful word fol-
lowed the pair to tho little church,
where onco more they kneeled to-
gether with good hopo of stored up
happiness to come.

THE END.
The Tides t:i t lie liny of Fnndy.
Statistics regarding tho tides in
tho Bay of Funly are so startling as
to seem almost incredible. At
(■rand Manan tho fall is from twelve
to fifteen feet, at Lubeeand Eastport
twenty feet, at St. John from twenty-
four to thirty feot, at Aloncton, on
the bend of the Potitcodiac, seventy
feet, while tho distance between high
and low wuter mark on the Cobequid
river is twelve miles, the river
actually being twelve miles longer
at high than at low water. Vessels
can be run up so far on the flood in
this river and in the Avon that the
ebb will leave them high and dry for
sixteen hours, so that they can bo

HIS HEAD CUT OFF.
I.mile Henry the I'arls Ilombthrower, lle-
lieaded by tlio (iulltotlno.
Paris, May 22.—Just as day was
breaking* this morning* Einilo Henry
was led from the lloquette prison to
the instrument of death. As he
passed between the portals from the
prison lie wore the same air of brava-
do that marked his conduct during1
the trial, and as lie stepped outside
the gate he cried: "Vive l'anarohie."
The walk to the guillotine ex-
ceed ing-ly short. Here he was seized
by the assistants of Deiblerand bound
to the bascule. Then there was a
llosh as the heavy knife dropped. At
the same moment Henry cried out
again: "Vive l'anarchie," and then
there was a silence.
The head of the anarchist dropped
into the basket in the guillotine.
The headless trunk was unloosed
from the plank on which it was bound
and placed, together with the head,
in a black van and carried to the
"turnip field,the burial place of
executed criminals, where it was in-
terred. As the van was driven away
the crowd, laughing and joking, dis-
persed.
REPUBLICANS IN DEADLOCK.

motion to meet in Lawrenco instead
of Olatbe being voted down by a vote
of 09 to 57.
The caucus agreement between
Parker, Howard and Smart to vote
twice for each man, the combined
strength of tlie other two ended with
the "diOtli ballot. Smart received 57
votes, seven.short of the nomination.
During- tin; noon recess efforts were
made to secure from the Kunston or
liuchan men some votes, but without
result and when balloting was re-
sumed at 1:30 o'clock, after J. K. Cub-
bison of Kansas City, Kas , had made
a twenty minutes speech, Funston
had thirtv-n ne. Howard twenty-one,
Smart thirteen. Parker fourteen and

THOMPSONS CROOKEDNESS.
The Kx-Cimhlor Hypothecated Krdalia
School I'.onth Ordered Cancelled.
Skdalia, Mo., May 22.—In 1883 the
board of education had issued $10,0(10
of f> per cent bonds, later calling them
in and putting out others in their stead.
The old bonds were not destroyed
and Cashier Thompson, of the defunct
First National bank, in whose hands
they were put, placed them among
bis private papers. When the oppor-
tunity arrived, Thompson, it is now
claimed, hypothecate 1 them with
Kansas City, Newark, N. and West
Chester, Pa., capitalists and bankers.
The cashier kept all knowledge of
the transaction from the public, pay-
ing the interest on the coupons as it
fell due. The holders of these bonds
will not lose anything, it is said, as
they will be able to recover the full
amount. It is said that government
detectives are close on Defaulter
Thompson's trail, and that his arrest
is only a question of a few days.
