Lipton fF A Visit in the Night; OR, A SERVICE TO THE STATE \ CHAPTER VIII.--(Cont'd) Next morning he was up by sun- rise, and, by the time his friends Lords Orpington and Amberley were thinking about breakfast, had put the finishing touches to the scheme which was to bring his ca- reer in England to such. a fitting ve? mination. According to the arrangement en- tered into on the previous day his friends called for him at eleven | o'clock, when they went ashore to- | gether. It was a lovely morning, Z and Carne was in highest thé spirits. They visited the Castle to- gether, made some purchases in the town, and then went off to lunch on board Lord Orpington's yacht. It was well-nigh three o'clock before Carne bade his host and hostess farewell, and descend- ed the gangway in order to return to his own vessel. A brisk sea was running, and for this reason to step into the boat was an exceedingly difficult, if not a dangerous mat- ter..-Hither he miscalculated his ~-- distance, or he must have jumped at the wrong moment; at any rate, e missed his footing, and fell heav- ily on to the bottom. Scarcely a second, however had elapsed be- fore his coxswain had sprung to his assistance, and lifted him up on to the seat in the stern. It was then discovered that he had been unfortunate enough to once more give a nasty twist to the ankle which had brought him to such grief when he had been staying at xreenthorpe Park on the occasion of the famous wedding. _"My dear fellow, I am sorry,' said "Lord Orpington, who had wit- nessed the accident. "Won't you come on board again? We can eas- ily hoist you over the side." "Many thanks," replied Carne, "Hut I think I can manage to get back to my own boat. It is better I should do so. My man has had experience of my little ailments, and knows exactly what is best to be done under such circumstances ; but it is a terrible nuisance, all the same. I'm afraid it will be impos- sible for me now to be present at his Royal MHighness's dinner this evening, and I have been looking forward to it so much." "We shall all be exceedingly sor- ry,' said Lord Amberley. "I shall come across in the afternoon to see how you are." "You are very kind," said Carne "and I shall be immensely glad to see you if you can spare the time."' With that he gave the signal to his men to push off. By the time he reached his own yacht his foot was so painful that it was neces- sary for him to be lifted on board --a circumstance which was duly noticed by the occupants of all the surrounding yachts, who had brought their glasses to bear upon him. Once below in his saloon, he was placed in a comfortable chair and left to Belton's careful atten- tion. "T trust you have not hurt your- self very much, sir," said that faithful individual, who, however, could not prevent a look of satis- faction coming into his face, which seemed to say that he was not ill- pleased that his master would, af- ter all, be prevented from carrying out the hazardous scheme he had proposed to him the previous ev- ening. In reply Carne sprang to his feet without showing a trace of lame- ness. "My dear Belton, how peculiarly dense you are to-day," he said, with a smile, as he noticed the other's amazement. "Cannot you see that I have only been acting as you yourself wished I should do early this morning--namely, tak- ing precautions? Surely you must, see that, if I am laid up on board my yacht with a sprained ankle, Society will say that it is quite im- possible for me to be doing any mischief elsewhere. Now, tell me, ; is everything prepared for to- night }"' "Everything, sir," Belton re- plied. "The dresses and wigs are ' ready. The canvas sacks, and the lines to which the spring hooks are , attached, are in your cabin await- | ing your inspection. Ags far as T ; ean see, everything is prepared, ee and T hope will meet with your 1 satisfaction."' "Tf you are as careful as usual | Pos feel sure it will," said Carne. "Now get some bandages and make this 5 foot of mine up into an artistic a bundle as you possibly can. After that help me on deck and prop me up in a chair. As soon as my acci- dent gets known there will be cer- tain to be shoals of callers on board, and I must play my part as care- fully as possible." Day closed in and found the sky eovered with heavy clouds. To-" wards eight o'clock a violent storm of rain fell, and when Carne heard if. heating npen the deck shorn hi ealin rnal paflas bes] t* Ons the oo aes Laydloped { a | look t xould i Sty press soe ae ; bability be dark, he felt that his lucky star was indeed in the as- cendant. At half-past eight he retired to his cabin with Belton, in order to prepare for the events of the even- ing. Never before had he paid such careful attention to his make-up. He knew that on this occasion the least carelessness might lead to de- tection, and he had no desire that his last and greatest exploit should prove his undoing. It was half-past nine before he and his servant had dressed and were ready to set off. Then placing broad-brimmed hats upon their heads, and carrying a portman- teau containing the cloaks and headgear which they were to wear later in the evening, they went on deck and descended into the dinghy which was waiting for them along- side. In something under a quar- ter of an hour they had been put ashore in a secluded spot, had changed their costumes, and were walking boldly down beside the water towards the steps where they could see the Imperial launch still waiting. Her crew were lol- ling about, joking and laughing, secure in the knowledge that it would be some hours at least be- fore their sovereigns would be likely to require their services again. Their astonishment, therefore, may well be imagined when they saw approaching them the two men whom they had only half-an-hour before brought ashore. Stepping in and taking his seat under the shelter, his Majesty ordered them to convey him back to the yacht with all speed. The accent and voice were perfect, and it never for an instant struck any one on board the boat that a deception was be- ing practised. Carne, however, was aware that this was only a pre- liminary; the most dangerous por- tion of the business was yet to come. On reaching the yacht, he sprang out on the ladder, followed by his aide-de-camp, Von Walzburg, and mounted the steps. His disguise must have been perfect indeed, for when he reached the deck he found himself face to face with the first lieutenant, who, on seeing him, sa- luted respectfully. For a moment Carne's presence of mind almost deserted him; then, seeimg that he was not discovered, he determined upon a bold piece of bluff. Return- ing the officer's salute with just the air he had seen the Emperor use, he Jed him to suppose that he had important reasons for coming on board so soon, and, as if to back this assertion up, bade him send the chief steward to his cabin, and at the same time had the sentry removed from his door and placed at the end of the large saloon, with instructions to allow no one to pass until he was communicated with again. : The officer saluted and went off on his errand, while Carne, signing to Belton to follow him, made his way down the companion ladder to the Royal cabins. To both the next few minutes seemed like hours. Reaching the Imperial stateroom, they entered it, and closed the door behind. Provided the sentry obey- ed his orders, which there was no reason to doubt he would do, and the Emperor himself did not return until they were safely off the ves- sel again, there seemed every pro- bability of their being able to carry out their scheme without a hitch. "Put those bags under the table, and unwind the lines and place them in the gallery outside the win- dow. They won't be seen there,"' said Carne to Belton who was watching him from the doorway. "Then stand by, for in a few min- utes the chief steward will be here. As soon as he enters you must man- age to get between him and the door, and, while I am engaging him in conversation, spring on him, clutch him by the throat, and hold him until I ean force this gag into his mouth. After that we shall be safe for some time at least, for not a soul will come this way until they discover their mistake. It seems to me we ought to thank our stars that the chief steward's cabin was placed in such a convenient posi- tion. But hush, here comes the in- dividual we want. Be ready to col- Jar him as soon as I hold up my hand, If he makes a sound we are lost." : He had scarcely spoken before there was a knock at the door. When it opened, the chief steward entered the cabin, closing the door behind him. "Schmidt," said his Majesty, who was standing at the further end of the cabin, "T have sont for you in order that I may question you on a matter of the utmost 'm- portance. Draw nearer.": The man came forward as he was and. havine matey fall cad ote dane an, rea Something he saw. thare Achis fa ae the faer. : : seemed to stagger him. He glanced | at him a second time, and was im- mediately confirmed in his belief. "You are not the Emperor," he eried. "There is some treachery in this. I shall call for assistance."' He had half turned, and was about to give the alarm when Carne held up hisxhand, and Belton, who had been creeping stealthily up be- hind him, threw himself upon him and had clutched him by the throat before he could utter a sound. The fictitious Emperor immediately produced a cleverly constructed gag and forced it into the terrified man's mouth, who in another sec- ond was lying upon the floor bound hand and foot. "There, my friend," said Carne quietly, as he rose to his feet a few moments later, "I don't think you will give us any further trouble. Let me just see that those straps are tight enough, and then we'll place you on this setee, and after- wards get to business with all pos- sible dispatch.' Having satisfied himself on these points, he signed to Belton and be-. tween them they placed the man upon the couch. '*Let me see, I think, if I remem- ber rightly, you carry the key of the safe in this pocket." So saying, he turned the man's pocket inside out and appropriat- ed the bunch of keys he found therein. Choosing one from it, he gave a final look at the bonds which secured the prostrate figure, and then turned to Belton. "1. think he'll do,' he said. "Now for business. Bring the bags, and come with me." So saying, he crossed the cabin, and having assured himself that there were no one about to pry upon them, passed along the lux- uriously carpeted alley way until he arrived at the door of the cabin assigned to the use of the chief steward, and in which was the safe containing the magnificent gold plate, the obtaining of which was the reason of his being there. To his surprise and chagrin, the door was closed and locked. In his plans he had omitted to allow for this emergency. In all probabil- ity, however, the key was in the man's pocket, so, turning to Bel- ton, he bade him return to the stateroom and bring him the keys he had thrown upon the table. The latter did as he was ordered, and, when he had disappeared, Carne stood alone in the alley way waiting and listening to the vari- ous noises of the great vessel. On the deck overhead he could hear some one tramping heavily up and down, and then, in an interval of silence, the sound of pouring rain. Good reason as he had to be anxi- ous, he cculd not help smiling as he thought of the incongruity of his position. He wondered what his aristocratic friends would say if he were captured and h's story came to light. In his time he had impersonated a good many people, but never before had he had the honor of occupying such an exalt- ed station. This was the last and most daring of all his adventures. Minutes went by, and as Belton did not return, Carne found him- self growing nervous. What could have become of him? He was in the act of going in search of him, when he appeared carrying in his hand the bunch of keys for which he had been sent. His master seiz- ed them eagerly. "Why have you been so long?' he asked in a whisper. "I began to think something had gone wrong with you."' "T stayed to make our friend se- eure,' the other answered. "He had well-nigh managed to get one of his hands free. Had he done so, he would have had the gag out of his mouth in no time, and have given the alarm. Then we should have been caught like rats in a trap."' "Are you quite sure he is secure now?' asked Carne anxiously. "Quite,"? replied Belton. "I took good care of that." "Tn that case we had better get to work on the safe without further delay. We have wasted too much time already, and every moment is an added danger." Without more ado, Carne placed the most likely key in the lock and turned it. The bolt shet back, and the treasure chamber lay at his mercy. The cabin was not a large one, but it was plain that every precau- tion had been taken to render it se- cure. The large safe which con- taincd the Imperial plate, and which it was Carne's intention to rifle, occupied one entire side. It was of the latest design, and when Carne saw it he had to confess to himself that, expert craftsman as he was, it was one that would have required all his time and skill to open.

England in Olden Time Very Much Given to Osculation. -- A London journal stated not long ago that the British boy "has quite given up being kissed by his father, and he is kissed by his sister and his aunt only by compulsion." No doubt he is disgusted when he reads of Nelson's words as he was dying: 'Kiss me, Hardy.'" _ The English were for a long time inveterate and promiscuous kissers, so that they excited the wonder of visiting foreigners. A Venetian gave this report of London - ladies early. in the sixteenth century: 'If they: meet a friend they take his hand and. kiss him full on the mouth, and go into some tavern and eat with him. And their people do not take it ill. And they are most beautiful ladies, and *most _pleas- ant."' There was this free kissing every- where, openly in the street and in the church. Samuel Kiechel warn- ed his countrymen to do in England as the English did. "A guest does well to take his hostess in his arms and to kiss her; who does it not is looked upon as ignorant and _ ill- bred."' ooks of travel written by visitors of various countries abound 'in evidence of the habit that is now regarded as dangerously microbic. But Englishmen, apparently drew the line in Cowper's t me, for when Mr. Grenville, standing for Parliament called on Cowper to secure his vote and influence, and the poet told him he had neither vote or influence, he did not em- brace him.
