TbL time be announced to Hugh and Ito ibat ba bad obtalRetl work at tha farm at Antoina Ltbrua, tha fimt la(-e at which ha had applied. It la neeUlraa to lay that both were glad to bear of hi good fortune. it wia at auaaet when Robin ratne. lie had come liuuiedlateljr on ntiUhlng bla diy'a work, ami Hugh Invited him to itr with them ao hour or two. This Invi tation Itubln wan nothing loth to irrupt; for It waa given with a degree of cor diality thit wis rare with Hugh; and whether the beauty and why grace of young Koae bad any Influence lu Itobln'a deiiaiun to remain, we leave other to udge. At all eventa, when be had atay- ed perbapi two hour, and wa taking bis departure, Hugh invited him to repeat (be vUlt. And Itobln aoiiwvred, quietly: "You ara eery good, nioulmr, and I con fni that I am only too glad to come; for I am eomewhat strange yet among tba work people on the farm, and being In a new place, It make one rather lone ly. And I feel mora acquainted with you, perhaps, becatme thin waa the fimt place at which I aought for work. I hall le pleaded to come, inonxleur, and then, it may be, If I come early enough, that niademolHelle," glancing toward Koe, "will ahow me ber garden, of which I heir you apeak." Hugh promlNcd that thm should be the caae. And Itobln departed. On the third day, In the middle of the afternoon, Itobin appeared. Hugh waa aurprlaed at aeeing him ao much earlier thnn uaual, alnce the uaual hour for leav ing work wa at artuet. Hut Ilobln said that Antolne Ibrun had allowed him to come earlier,- Iwcauae he had done more work on the two preceding day than any other of the men. And he had winlicd to aee mademoiselle' garden In full day light. No Robin wa conducted to the garden, and here, although be pr lined It beauty, yet h alio found ample apace for im provement, and volunteered. If Hugh wa willing, to coma dowu and work in It occasionally. A there appeared to be no serious ob jection to inch a proceeding, the arrange ment waa made; and nearly every after- ,w.r,u-ih. Itoblu, came Jialf Jin hour before auuset, and with imle, rake, clsiors and pruning knife, bunled him self In th garden, making such altera tion for the better and training the fa vorite flower of Rose o skillfully that they became even finer and more abun dant than they had been In the earlier part of the eion, when they seemed to want no addition to their beauty. And while Robin worked among the flower bed, Rote aat at the garden door, with her sewing or embroidery, or, per bapa, a book; for Robin, she was pleas ed to find, was ai fond of book as her self, and many a pleasant half-hour waa passed thus by them. Robin bad no fath er, no mother, no sinters, nor a home, such as other bad, and be told them that this seemed like home to him. He alwaya hastened to the cottage as soon as he waa released from work and had eaten hi upper, and not unfrequently remained a part of th eveulug with them. These visits were pleasant one. Robin enjoyed them, and Rone always liked to e him coming; while Hugh Lamonte, though he aaid little on the sub ject now, seemed to regard hlin as a wel come visitor. Rose sometimes wondered at his evident liking for the young man, being usually, as he was, of a mood so unsocial; but she could not but admit that for on ao handsome, so amiable and kind-hearted as Robin, to win the friend ship of those about him, was not at all strange, and, therefore, it was less sur prising, that a every one else seemed to like him so well, that her father should be also attracted toward him. Tha Marquis of Montauban, late one afternoon, made his appearance at the cottage of Hugh Lamonte. This was no common occurrence; for visitors were generally rather repelled than attracted by tba reserve and taciturnity or Hugh. This afternoon, Hugh Lamonte, with Robin, who had just come from the farm, and our pretty Rose, were together In the garden, when a knocking was heard with in the kitchen, and Rose, being nearest the door, ran in to see who was there. Th marquis was standing by the case ment. "Good evening, my child," h said, kindly, as she entered. "I hare come to ae your father. Is he at home?" "Yea, monsieur," answered Rose. "I M1 rail him." She went out and Informed her father of the desire of the marquis, and while he entered th kitchen, proceeded to as sist Robin In tying up a rose bush, which had been bent down by a ahower on the previous day. It was twilight time when the marquis left Hugh, and getting into his carriage, drove away in tba direction of the cha teau. They heard him go away Robin and Rose. But Hugh did not come out gain; and when they went In, they found him seated by the table, in the gathering dusk, and leaning forward on it, with his face buried in his hands. He rose immediately on their entrance. and went to get a light; but he did not speak, and as the flare of the light shone on his couotenance, both observed that It was unusually pale. Perceiving his si' lence and depression, Robin, filled with sympathy for him, shortly withdrew, without inquiring Into its cause; for he saw plainly that Hugh was not ill, but that something unpleasant pressed upon his mind had taken place within the last hour. As soon as Robin was gone, Rose went to her father and sitting down by him, begged him to tell her the cause of his lowncast appearance. But he would not renly to her troubled inquiries. "Rose, my dear child," he said, tender y and sadly, "I cannot tell you what It m that affects me; at least, not now. Do iot ask me. Be happy, and do not trou jk yourself about me." It was all he would aay; and the depression which that vUlt of the marquis bad left on him coa tiuped to mark hi manner from : that time, ...,. , Rosa waa aailoaa an4 ooea.y, -That this sudden change bad been caused by something aaid or done during th time In which be bad conferred with hia guest, she could not doubt. And If so, what could that cause bar been? -what waa It nature? She exhausted ber imagina tion with vain endeavors to goes at tha truth. All remained in darkneea. 8he retired to rest unhappy and perplexed. Hugh worked a uaual In the garden and the field all th neat day; be mad no allusion to tbe occurrence of the past evening, and affair went on with tha same quiet regularity aa ever, at the cot tage, without bringing any further un pleasant consequence from tha visit of the marquis than what already displayed itself in her father's altered demeanor. That of itself wa sufficiently productive of anxiety to Rose. Roblu made hi accustomed visit at sunset. It wa a relief to her; for If it could not divert her mind from the thought of her father' sadness, It at least served to break the almost insup portable silence that had reigned within tbe cottage all day long. To-night, Hugh would not join them in the garden, but remained In tha kitch en, reading, or seeming to do ao. And Robin and Rose sat in the garden togeth er, without worklug aa usual, for she could do nothing but think of ber father, and the young man, sympathizing deep ly and earnestly with both, tried to con sole and cheer bla fair companion with hopeful words and soothing tone. And Rose could not but taka a sad pleasure In listening to bis words, for Robin' friendship bad already become dear to her. CHAPTER VIII. There wa a knock for admittance at the cottage door. Hugh Lamonte started uueasily from his chair. Every knock every approaching footstep, of late, he imagined to be that of th MarquI of Montauban; for a time of restitution was coming, and it waa to cost him dear. He hastily crossed the room, and flung the (Voor wide open. An angry exclamation burst from his lips. Rose, aeated by the re a ; ' 1 1 i i ms -si mm tsss.; ..-.vVj '-v a nOBIX, THt GARDENKft. casement with her aewiug, trembled and turned pale; for the newcomer was Gas parde. 'Good afternoon, uncle," aaid the rogue, frankly. "How, Gasparde," uttered Hugh, iu in censed astonishment, and without notic ing the salutation "hom come you here?" "I have come, answered the man quietly, assuming an expression of the deepest seriousness, "to ask your par don, and that of Mademoiselle Rose, for my old behavior; and I honestly hope you will forgive me." nngh looked at him, half incredulously. and with a searching glance he stepped back a pace, but made no answer. Gas parde followed up the movement, and stepped just within the door, so that he now beheld Rose. Apprehension and an noyance were plainly expressed ou her countenance as ahe beheld him. He look ed aa unprepossessing as ever, though his words were certainly very fatr. "Good afternoon, Cousin Rose," he said, with gravity; and noticing the hull cation of her disposition towards him in her countenance, he . hastened to add, with an air of penitence and sorrow: "O, I see, Rose, that you hs.ve not forgotten how I used to annoy you. "I know I do not deserve that you should; but I con fesa I had hoped you would overlook it by this time; for I am sincerely sorry for my Impertinence." The young girl made no reply at first, the suddenness of all this astonished her. Hugh Lamonte stood silently regarding him with a half-angry, half-perplexed air. He doubted whether to put faith in the fair declaration of Gasparde. "Cousin Rose," said the latter again, deprecatingly, "1 promise you that I will never behave so Impertinently again. wish you would try to forget my inso lence, and forgive me." Rose looked up. "Since you are sincerely repentant, Gasparde," she said, "I will endeavor to do both." And then she resumed her work. - "And you also, sir?" said Gasparde, turning to Hugh. "The less said about that the better," returned Hugh, dryly; "but you may be grateful to Rose for forgiving you, which is more than you merit. And now, if you wish to say anything to me, you must come luto the garden,- for I am going there." And picking up his tools, he went out, without saying another word. Gasparde followed, with downcast eyes and humbled manner; and Rose, truly confident in bis sincerity, wss almoet aorry that ber father treated him ao un graciously, fch bad some curioelty te know what could be bis business with her father; but that wa Impossible. They remained in th garden for aume tim perhaps half an hour; then both re-entered, Hugh saying to hi companion: "Well well; roroe again to-morrow, and, meanwhile, I will think about it." "That will do," returned Gasparde. And as he crossed th room to tha oppo site door, be nodded to Hose, saying, re spectfully: "Good morning, cousin." "Good morning, Gasparde," she re sponded, a he went out. When Hugh bad shut tba door and coma back into the room, Rom could not but aee that be was tuor thoughtful and gloomy than before. All day be preserv ed the lama moody air; and Rosa waa utshitppr, alike In b!eg nnabl to divine the clove of hi Intr.aeed perplexity and trouble, or to alleviate it H had not yet made any allusion to tha object of th marquis' recent visit; but she knew that ba waa thinking of It continually. She knew, however, that ahe should only an noy him by seeming to notice his myste rious dejection, and ao aha became allent In to afternoon, Robin came aa usual, after hi day'a work waa done, and Rosa even persuaded herself that he, too, Beam ed aomawhat aerious. He west out into the garden with ber fatber,'and thence to th field; and she could see them atandlng there, aa if talking together, for a long time. They did not work aa ninaL At length, however, they left their poat and came alowly np through tha garden. They were conversing still. "What la It about. I wonderf' asked th young girl, mentally. Tbe two entered. Robin did not apeak: but Hugh advanced straight to Rose . "Rom," b said, gently, "her ia our good neighbor Robin, wbo wish to mar ry yon. What d you aay to HP "WUhea to mtrry mef iterated tha young girl, faltering and blushing. "Exactly. Is it not sufficiently plain T' Rom waa silent, her eyea cast down to the floor, and her fair cheek reddening still deeper. The teara fast gathered in ber eyes. Robin wished to marry her. Hugh turned away, and, with folded arms, paced th room. Robin came to her aide. 'Dear Rom," he said, softly, taking ber hand, "your father haa told yon what I have asked him. It is true that I wish to marry you, if you are willing. I did not think yon disliked me. Will yoa ahow me that you do got?" She did not answer, but sat with her eyes still csst down, and her hand in hla. 'I know, dear Bom." h aaid. acain. ''that I am asking a great deal. I cam here only a few weeka ago, and I waa a stranger. I came seeking for work, and found it I am poor, and have ret no horn of my own, bat that I trust to have eome day. I love yon, Rom, and I aak you if you will promlM to marry ma when I am rich enough to buy a tittle farm or my own. .i ing her eye sorrowfully, a aha thought of bl loneliness. "No no; I cannot leave him!" I "Rom," said Hugh, turning to her, "the future is not in your hands. Do not think of me. If you love Robin sufficiently well to marry him, answer him at once. All will be well." Then I whi marry you, Robin," she said in a low tone. "You will forget that I am poor, and a stranger?" - "I do not need to forget It," was her answer. And ber glance of timid, af fectionate confidence was raised to his. He bent forward with a thrill ot inex pressible delight and pressed his lips to those of th blushing girL "And you will never break your prom ise, though yon should meet with trial and temptation and danger?" "No; never never, Robin; But why do you fear and what?! "I cannot tell you, Rose. But it will be a long time before we can marry, per haps; for I will not ask you to share my lot with me until I hare risen higher- far higher than I am now. And no one knows what may happen la that time.' It will be a long time," he continued, after a wniie; "but 1 shall be patient; for 1 want to rise to something better than I ara now, Rose. Tou are too good to mar ry a farmer, or. a gardener. For your sake, I shall strive to render myself something higher than either." "You need not be better than you are, Robin," said the girl, gently. "But I mean to become more worthy of you, nevertheless," was his rejoinder. Aud now Hugh Lamonte turned to them. "Since this is done," he said, "I give you both my blessing. Rose, my child," and he laid his hand solemnly on her fair head, "be true to Robin until he comes to claim you, and you will be rewarded." There was a moment of deep silence The young lover bent down, and tenderly kissed his betrothed bride, from whose gentle eyea the tears stole down. And through the opposite casement glared and gleamed a pair of fiendish eyes upon that little group. The brig and-lover, Gasparde, bad heard every word witnessed every look and action within. They did not see him; they did not hear the bitter curses hissed through his shut teeth, nor mark the clenched hand that menaced them. (To be continued.) Jor Enonfh.

Official Information received here shows that formidable Russian fleet, comprising 00 warships ot all classes, has lcftFort Arthur and lias arrived at Ma San Pho, aouth of Cores, where the Japanese fleet has aleady arrived. The Kuiwian ships have anchored within the Ma San Pho harbor, alongside the Japanese ships. beveral brigades of lineman troops liave been moved to the Corean coast and are now encamped on the border. Diplomatic negotiations are etui pro ceeding at Tokio. These do not relate to the evacuation of Manchuria by the Rusan troorm, but to the future of CoreaT ' " ' Mlnlater Discount it London, Oct. 10. The Japanese minister here, Baron Hayashi, today described the announcement made by the London Daily Mail's cortwpondent at Kobe, Japan, that Baron De Rosen, the Rnsman minister to Japan, had presented a note to the Japanese gov ernment contending that Japan had no just right to intervene in the question of the evacuation of Manchuria, and characterizing the proposed partition of Corea between Russia and Japan as be ing "fantastical and unworthy of con sideration." Regarding the report that the Bussian fleet had arrived at Ma San Pho, Baron Ilayashi remarked Russia had onlv about 30 warships in the whole far east, and it would be a physical impossibili ty on account of coal and other supplies lor them to remain at Ma San Pho. It would be the moat unlikely place for them to go to even if Russia contem plated hostilities, aa it is within easy striking distance of Japan's strong naval base at Tmi, in the Straits of Corea. So far as Baron Ilayashi knows, it would be equally unreasona ble for the Japanese to go to Ma San Pho. Oreat Britain Haa No lafersMttoa. London, Oct. 10. The foreign office informs the Associated Press that it haa heard nothing of the reported gath ering of Russian warships at Ma San Pho. The foreign ofhee reiterates that its advices give no indication of a Bus- so-Japanese outbreak. Japaa Desire War. Paris, Oct. 10. The Patrie today, in a special dispatch from Darmstadt, published an interview with Alexan der Savinski, the secretary of foreign hia chief of Russo-Japanese relations. M. Savinski ia quoted as saying: 'Our agents at Tokio have informed us that Japan desires war and is pre pared for it. We have enough troops Siberia to resist all tbe Japanese force." Regarding Turkey and Bulgaria M. Savinski said the accord between Russia and Austria was stronger than ever, and he did not believe war between those two countries would occur. VOLCANO AGAIN ACTIVE.
