Anod now that carriage is always there, and who do you think the old gentleâ€" man is ?" "You‘ll know when I tell you," said Marston, with a chuckle; "it was your old uncle, Lord Ayimer." "‘Impossible !" _ Dick burat cut. **Not impossible at ail, my dear chap," said Marston cooly. "L saw her driving with him myself; and jolly wretched she looked over it. I must say I pitied the poor devil out here, but I dare say he is having a very good time all the same. Eh? What ?" he asked of a native servant, who had poiselessly approached him. _ Dick sat still by a mighty effort "Well?" he said. â€"**My lady wishes to speak to you, sir," said the man, who spoke very good Engâ€" lish. es Abannenn e n So that was it, after all. No, he wouldn‘s believe it, and yetâ€"yetâ€"how could he help believing it ? . Marston had told him the plain, unvarnished facts, pot knowing that Dick Alymer and Mrs. Harris‘s busâ€" ‘The whole world seemed to be blotting out in a strange and insidious fashion, and it was two or three minutes before Dick came to his full senses agmin. t "I don‘s think she ongfxz to live there," Maurston went on, not looking at Dick, but attending to his pipe. **Living alone, except for the child. You never know what the other people are, don‘t you know. Now, there‘s a pretty littlse woman living in the flat below her. "â€"â€" esmm on Marston noticed nothing, but went on with the story. ‘"A child. I don‘t know if there was. one thenâ€"there‘s one now. I‘ve seen it." m;':Oh, all right, I‘ll come," and Marston went in, leaving poor Dick to fight his battle of pain alone. _ _ _ __ _ _ ________ "A flat!" Dick pricked up his ecrs. ""Yes, _ Where!" "*in Kensington, Palace Mansions, they‘re called, **In Palace Mansions," Dick managed to repsat. _ 7 y *‘What number is your sister‘s?‘ Dick asked in a harsh, strained voice. ‘*No. 6," Marston answered. In the flash of an instant Dick had made a wild caiculation, Yes, he meant Dorothy by "a pretty little woman." _ ‘""Well?" he said. Marston, all in ignorance, went on speak= ing. *‘Such a pretty girl. I saw her several timesâ€"fairish hair and delisateâ€" looking, almost like a lady. Well, she went to live in the flat below my sister‘s and was very quiet. Husband came and went. My sister fancied it was a bit suspicious, and was careful to get no acâ€" quaintance with her. Well, for some months all went smoothly and quietly enough, then she heard through her ser vants, I suppose,that Mrs. Harris‘s husband bad gone oif to India, and that she was going out later when the child was born." _ **Was there a child*" Dick asked. He was trembling so that be could rcarcely force his lips to frame the words. **No, 1 didn‘tâ€"didn‘t know you had a sister." He feltsick and faint and cold; he knew that now he was on the eve of news, and Marston‘s tone had made him dread to hear it Now, town to Dick meant where Dorothy was, and for half un instant he had a wild idea that this man might be able to give him news of her. It died almost in its birth, however, and he said indifferently epough. . ‘‘Were you in town long * "Oh, yes; she‘s a widowâ€"has a little flat." ""A fortnight altogether. _ My sister lives in town, you know." "*Lord Alymer got the appointment and I had tocomeâ€"I had no choice. Ishouldn‘t be here 1{ 1 had, you may be sure." Dick answered . **Ah ! Lord Ayimer, queer old chap, eh*" "Awful old brute," said Dick, with a sigh, ‘‘but he happened for the present to be the ruler of my tortunes, and athoroughâ€" going old martinet he is, too." ‘‘Ah! I saw him the other day." Dick looked up with some interest. "*Did you, though? In town *" ‘ * Really, Dick," he remarked, " I don‘t call this half a bad place. Not so jolly as London, of course, but still not half bad." "*I hate it," answered Dick, shortly. The other, fresh from home, looked at him with amused pity. * Poor old chap ! like town better. Yes, of course. Why did you come out, then, ch * You got the post that was meant for me." And yet, why did she not write? She must be at Palace Mansion yet, because his letter had never been returned, nor yet bis telegrams. Ouce or twice he had thought of writing to the laudlord, or rather the office at which he had taken the flat, but he shrank from doing that because he might be casting a siur upon Dorothy‘s fair name, which she would never be able to shake off. and for a week or two he had scarcely troubled himself about it. Yetas the woeks crept heavily by, each week bringing fresh disappointment, that letter.. came back to his thoughts over znd over again, Could is be possible that his little girlâ€"oh, no,no â€"nothing should make him believe it, nothing, nothing. _ But after that letter there had beeu utter silence. He bad written every week, he had telegraphed several times, and toâ€"day the mail was in again, and there was still no news, . He had three or four letters of no importance on the chair beside him, and the English papers, but nothing from her. He had had news of herâ€"â€"oh, yesâ€"the news contained in that postscript of Lord Aylmer‘s letter, and he had dismissed that from his mind at once a« an illâ€"natured lie, “ He had now been three months without one word from Dorothy. He did not know if the child had been born or not, if mother or child were living or dead, if Dorothy,his dear little wife, were false or true. Ho had heard from her once after reaching India, when she had written in good spirits and with many words of love for him, and in fondest anticipation of their meeting in & few months‘ time. LLGHT IN DARKNESS, In a veranda of the Government House at Macras, Lick Aylmer sat smokingâ€" smoking and brooding over the inexplicable tangle which we call life. W CHAPTER \IL LAXADY AYTLMER. (On examining the instrument one of the officials found a big browa spider inside. It appears that while haviog an exploring trip around the instrument the unfortunate spider must have touched this tongue suffiâ€" ciently to move it, and consequently it fired off the gun, The General commanding the station sent the spider to the Cape Town Museum, where he is now to be seen with a card underneath him entitling him the * Little Gunner," and giving a full account of his adventure with the Cape Town middway time gun, which proved his last adventure, however. When a Dane Gets Drunk. This is the way the police in Denmark deal with the drunkards found helpless in the strects, They drive the patient in a cab to the station where he sobers off ; then they take him home. The cabman makes his chargo, the police doctor makes his, the agents make their claim for special dn:.,y.lmd this bill is presented to the landâ€" lord of the establishment where the drunkâ€" ard took the last il:" that did the business, No wonder that certain landlords protest saying that proofa are insufficient and some alleged victims sham intoxication to get the landlord into trouble, ~ _ Search was made, but nothing resuited to throw any light on the extraordinary atfair, although the greatest possible pains were taken to solve the mystery. They had practically given the search up, when sudâ€" denly the news came from the officials stating that the culprit had been caught and arrested. It seeins the electric current for firing off the gun is supplied by the Royal Observatory of Cape Town, and goes there by means of an instrument known as w relay that is in the central telegraph office of the station, the distance being wbout 500 yards, The action of the current going through the instrument‘s main moves @ sort of light tongue, which is very finely sot, so fine that the least little thing would affect it. This forces the current directly into what they term the time fuses, which have the power of firing the gun at the Castle. ers_came _ from the General commandin the station the Brighdo Major/commanimg officers of each regiment and battery stationed in Cape Town, and from every body interested, but the answer was that no person had been near the gun, nor had any body interfered with the wires, battery or source from which it was fired, . All the officials were fearfully Euulcd at . the extraordinary occurrence, but conld give no explanation whatever. The General in command of the station became furious and said that there was mismanagement someâ€" where, and gave orders for a strict search to be made by the officials for the guilty party. _ & opifante Though Not an Inch Long He Fired a Big CGun and Disconcerted a British Colony. Cape Town, South Africa, claims the honmor of giving birth to the smallest creaâ€" ture ever known to become a gunner in the Royal Artillery, or any other artillery in the whole world. At the Castle, Cape Town there is a magnificent gun worked by elecâ€" tricity,used for giving the midday and even* ing time. One fine day all the military and civilians in Cape Town were astonished to hear the gun go off at 10.30 in the morning an hoar and a half before the proper time, 12 being the usual hour for firing. Messenâ€" DURHAM, CO. GREY, THURBDAY, JUNE 20, 1895. For always in his heart there was that piteous appeal, *‘ This long silence is killing meâ€"for God‘s sake put me out of susponse, one way or the other." I Now, it happened that Lord Sikevversâ€" leigh, though he liked Dick very well, had particularly wished to make Marston his military secretary, and had ke been wble to refuse his old friend Alymer, he would certainly have done so. Thers were, howâ€" ever, certain pages of past history which practically precluded this possibility, but they did not preclude him from allowing Dick to throw up his sppointment and betake himself home as soon as he liked ; and with the very next steamer Dick said goodâ€"bye to India and to Government House and set sail for his native country, hurrying off the boat at Brindisi and journeying homeward overland, like an avenging spirit with whom the wicked old man who was at the head of his house, would have a very hard reckoning and but scant quarter, 4 SMALLEST GUNNER IN THE WORLD As soon as Lord Skevversleigh, returned to the house, Dick sent to ask him if he could see him, and to him he explained something of the position of affairs, ending with, **And I must go home: if it costs me all I bave in the world." Yet, though the way was plain, it was not an eas yone. It would be difficult for him to get away from Madras, and neither letters or telegrams were evidently of any use, since Dorothy had not received those that he had sent. Decidedly, he must go home, even if he went the length of sending his papers in and trusting to chance and good fortune to be able to make some sort of a livingâ€"enough to keep Dorothy and the child. But in any case, home he must go, to set his wife‘s mind at rest, and to force that old sinner on his knees to sue for the mercy which he would not get. Te "‘Dinna Forget. To Dickâ€".This long gilence is _ killing meâ€"why do you not write. For God‘s sake put me out of suspense one way or the other. D. A." For full five minutes Dick never moved ; then he reverently took off his bat and thauked God that he had made the way plain at last. He put down the puper in dire disapâ€" pointment. â€"~Poor Dick !the was getting so weary of being disappointed that cach blow seemed to fi\il more and more heavily. And then just as he was letting the paper fall to his knee, two words caught his eye â€"two wordsâ€"** Dinna Forget." With a great throw at his heart Dick caught the paper back again. Yes, it was a message from Dorothy, right out of the depths of despair. He began hurriedly to unfasten the paper lying on the top of the little heap beside him. . Ah! the Standard. * Abingâ€" tonâ€"Bowesâ€"Eadeâ€"Duckess â€"of Dreamâ€" landâ€"Hingston"â€"No, there was no little babe called Haurris in the short list, For half an hour he sat in deep thought, trying to determine what would be the best to do, what would be the best course to take ; trying, too, to unravel the rest of the tangle, purt of which had been openâ€" ed out before him. But that was an im« possible task for him without further imformation, and be began to wonder how he could get home, and how arrange m plausible execuse to Lord Skevversleigh. ile must go home, that was certain; ‘c\'idemly his letters and telegrams had been of no effect, probably they had never ‘reached hber at all. . Whyâ€"perhaps that wicked old savage had found moans of «topping them, and in that case perhaps Dorothy was fretting her heart out, wonâ€" dering why he never wroteâ€"perhapsâ€" well, perhaps the child‘s birth would be in the papers. In spite of silence ani mystery she might, as a last resource, bave put that in, in the hope otf catching his eye, band were one and the same man. So this was why his uncle had suddenly taken a guiding hand in his fortunesâ€"this was why he shipped him off to Indis, at what might be called a moment‘s notice. * He had seen my Dorothy and wanted me out of the way and he got me cut of the way, and my darlingâ€"but no, noâ€"I will believe nothingâ€"nothing until I have ween her."
