NLY "A- FARMER'S DAUGHTER. J7?5. CHAPTER VI. i Most of the guests had left Haaell Court; and only Lord Harold Erskine and Mr. Le Marchant remained. It waa the fourth day after the ball, and Mr. Hast ings was alone that evening. At seven o'clock he atrolled toward the wooda. Ho told himself he hoped he ahould not meet Miss Eyre; It would be ao awkward, o unpleasant; and yet he went in the direc tion that she alwaya took on her return from the cottage, and at the very hour be knew she ahould pass. When Errol saw Winifred coming along slowly and sadly through the woods he could no longer conceal from himself the delight he expe rienced at seeing her again. Winifred appeared unconscious of him until she came close to the gate, and then she looked up with an air of cool indif ference that might have befitted the beat bred woman In Europe. Errol did not open the gate, but put hia hand across to her. She affected not to aee it "Miss Eyre," he said, "will you not even take my hand?" "No, I thank you," answered Winifred, coldly; "I do not choose to be known one day and unnoticed the next." "What do you mean. Miss Eyre? I do not understand you." "I mean this, Mr. Hastings; we hare met several times, and I was foolish enough to imagine that it was on equal terms until you reminded me by passing me unnoticed with your high-born friends, that you were the lord of the manor, and I onlv a farmer's daughter." "Miss Eyre," he said, quickly, "It Is im possible you should attribute motivea ao false and mean to me." "Why impossible?" Winifred asked. "I know nothing of you, Mr. Hastings. Her self-command in this speech was wonderful, for her heart was fluttering tumultously, as a woman's heart always does when she is saying a bitter thing to the man she loves. There waa silence for a moment, and then she said quietly: "Will you let me pass, Mr. Hastings "No," he cried suddenly and passionate ly, "you shall not pass until jou have recalled those words." "Then I must retrace my steps," WW fred said, looking at his defiantly. He seised her hand. "You shall not go until yon tell me why you are so bitter and angry with me to-day." "I am not angry or bitter," she quickly replied, forcing back the rebellious tears, "Only " "Ouly what?" "Do not torture me, Mr. Hastings" ex claimed Winifred. "It is cruel, unmanly of you. Let me go! I will not tell you. "But you shall tell me!" he said, atill keeping hold of her hand, and there was a dangerous light in his eyes that made her half afraid of him. "I do not wish to tell you yon force me to it!" she cried. "I will not stir from here except you tell me." Winifred's voice was half choked with excitement as she answered: "Then hear it. I hate you! You have been cruel, in considerate, unjust to me." "I?" Baid Errol. "Yes, you. You tried to make a simple, inexperienced, country girl care for you, with your refinement and fascinations; and when you succeeded you despised her for her folly, and turned away from her contemptible simplicity to the woman who. from her birth and station, was worthy of your real love." "Winifred! Miss Eyre!" i.,,u,uiiu Errol, "how can you have mistaken me so? Do you imagine there is anyone in the world but yourself for whom I carer "Yes, for your betrothed, Miss Cham pion, Mr. Hastings." "I nm neither betrothed to Miss Cham pion nor yet to any other woman," he exclaimed, quickly. ' "Do not attempt to deceive me any fur ther," Winifred said, with a flush of an ger. "Your relations with Miss Cham pion can scarcely be doubtful, after ycur opening the ball with her before all your grand friends." "Miss Eyre," he said, gravely, "will you accept my solemn assurance that I have not asked Miss Champion to be my wife, and that I have no intention of doing so? There is ouly one woman In the world that I love, and I love her with all the passion of my soul. Because she is ao dear to me, I am going to leave my coun try, and the home for which I have longed, and I am going to be a wanderer again on the face of the earth." y "You are going away?" cried Winifred, In a tremulous voice. "Yes, I am going away from country, home and friends, because, being near her, I cannot control my passionate long ing for her; I cannot tear my thoughts from her, or bring myself to look with love or admiration on any other woman." The gate was open now, and Mr. Hast ings had taken Winifred In his arms. "My darling," he whispered, "do yon know who that woman is?" Winifred was confused, surprised, shamed, and yet withal a tumultuous Joy overshadowed her whole being. Then this fairy tale waa true, after all, and this splendid, gallant knight was at her feet in all truth and sincerity. "Winifred," he said, passionately, "look Into my eyes, and tell me that you love me." She raised her beautiful, ahy brown eyes to his, and he bent down and kissed her so fondly, so tenderly, that she could no longer doubt his truth. And then there waa a silence, a long silence, for the spell of the day dream aeemed too awcet to be broken by words. "Miss Eyre!" he said finally, "I cannot marry you. I dare not ask your forgiveness, Jnit you must listen to me for oue moment. The first time I saw you I loved yon, and every time that we have met since I hive loved you more and more, until at last I almost felt as if existence witnont you was iin possible. I resolved to leave England to go abroad, somewhere where I should be removed from the temptation of seeing or hearing of you. But to-dsy, when I saw you coming toward me, all my strength failed me. Do you know that for centuries bsok my race have suffer ed for one. rash vow? Time after time thev have sacrificed their love, their hopes to It, and I dared not be the first to break it by marrying one who, though hit eoual. nay. my superior in all else. was beneath me In rank. I must go away I must forget you." -Reneath youT cried Winifred, with flashing, inlicnant eyes "beneath yon, Mr. Hasting? Yon deemed Flora Cham pion a worthy bride, and am I not equally . the granddaughter of Sir Howard?"- -"The granddaughter of Sir Howard FORRESTER. Champion!"

Ha felt at if brain, nean auu limb were paralysed by what he had Just heard. Sir HowardV granddaughter! Then that accounted for the breeding which had so nuzzled him. and there was in truth no reason why he should not make her his wife. If he could only nave known that before. And Flora Champion and Reginald They knew it, and con realed it from him all the while. Lady Grace Farquhar must hart known it- all hia servants, and veryone wno uvea in the neighborhood; and yet some strange fatality had conspired to keep him In Ignorance of. a fact it would have scaled his happiness to know. It waa too late now. He knew ber pride; he knew that if he had the crowns and the wealth of India to offer her, she would reject him in scorn now, And she had loved him dearly, he knew that, or aba would never have suffered his kisses on her lips, or looked lovingly into his face with those sweet brown eyes. He felt maddened by hia thoughts, by the recollection of what waa, and what might have been. And be turned hi atsna homeward, not Ungeringly, not hopefully, aa he had come, but swiftly, half mad with crushing despair. CHAPTER VII. The next evening Just as Errol Hast ings and his friends had finished dinner a servant brought In a note to the mas- ter. It was from Winifred Byre, and read aa.followa: "You will perhaps guess that only very urgent need induces me to hold commu- nlcatlon with you after after what pass- ed last night Your words were over- hpirn ttv Air. enner. an lniejiuuuai suy, i whom a short time since I refused to mar- ry.

I ask of you to find some menus of action that will insure the silence of this man, and protect me from a marriage which I dread more than death. Mr. Fenner insists on my answer being given la three dayt. If you have one impulse of generosity left, you will help me." As Errol read the note an imprecation burst from his Hps that made both his friends look up suddenly, "Why, Errol!" exclaimed Mr. La Mar- chant, "what is the matter?" Mr. Hastings recovered himself tin a moment. - "I beg your pardon," be said, smHing; "I was rather annoyed at the moment A letter from a refractory tenant" "Ah!" said Arthur Le Marchant, with a smiling glance at the envelope which lay on the table; "lady tenants are al ways the most troublesome." All the evening Mr. Hastings seemed absent and unusually silent, and when the two other men went out for a stroll on the terrace he did not join them, "Excuse me for half co hour," he said. "I have some business to transact, and will follow you." When they were gone he rang the bell "Send Letsom to me at once," and a minute afterward the old servant, came hurrying, "Letsotne," said Mr. Haatings, "do you know anvone of the name of Fenner I hereabouts?" ' "Yes. sir," answered Letsom. "There' . .. . ii a : 1 - ! a farmer or inai name nve iu mca from here, up at Chalk Farm." "What do you know about him?" "Well, sir, I can't say as I know much, but I have heard more lately being In conjunction with Miss Eyre. It was Hawkins aa told me; he was that angry one flight because he heard as Fenner was a-courtin' Miss Eyre, "l il spoil nia nort. If I hear any more, sayt he; bnt rm not afraid that a lady like Miss Eyre 'ud demean herself to such as him. "What did Hawkins mean when he said he'd spoil Fenner's sport if ha wanted to marry Miss Eyre?" I don't know, rm sure, sir; but he seemed quite mad about it, and talked like aa if he knew something bad about Fenner. I thought perhaps it was only talk, though, because he sets such a deal on Miss Eyre.' Send Hawkins to my room at ten o'clock to-morrow," said Mr. Hastings; "I wont to ask him about the partridges; and Mr, Hastings rose and went to join his friends on the terrace. The following morning there was s low tap at the door, and Hawkins, the game keeper, entered Mr. Hastings' room. A long conversation followed, as a result of which Mr. Hastings sent the follow' Ing note to Fenner: Sir Be good enough to call upon me this afternoon, at three o'clock. I have to speak to you on Important business. "ERROL UASTI.NUS, "Hazell Court." At half-past three Mr. Fenner rang at the door of Hazell Court It waa opened immediately, and be was escorted through the grand hall, along a corridor, and up some steps into Mr. Haatings' private room. Errol waa sitting at hia writing table when Fenner entered. He merely looked np and continued his letter. Tom Fenner felt very savage; be would have liked to throw himself with a swagger into one of the chairs, but he did not dare. There was something in Errol't look, and something in hia own servile fear of rank, that made him afraid to take a liberty. Presently Mr. Hastings looked np and said: "I have sent for yon to tell yon that I object to the way in which you have annoyed Miss Eyre lately, and to request thst you will discontinue it" Tom Fenner felt h was getting very savage. "And suppose," he remarked, Inso1eot ly, "that I aay I ahan't what then?" "Very well," aald Mr. Hastings, quiet ly, "then I will order my borae. and ge round to Mr. Lennox, and tell him yoa are the scoundrel who shot Tom White, the gamekeeper, three years ago in the HoHoa wooda." Fenner started convulsively, he turned ashen white and trembled In every limb. "Oh, sir!" ha cried, in agony of fear, aa soon as ha could speak, "don't do that!" And then all of a sodden he recovered himself, and looked at the man who had confronted him with aa air of dogged da- fiance. -I didn't know what yoa meant at the minute, he said, pala to the Upa; "I thought.lt was something else.. I doa't kaow anything a boat Torn White's affair that waa fhs ooachers' doing." Mr. Hastines did not answer lor me moment; but his eyes jverefixed on Ken 8'Sf'a tace.""'

Quietly; ' It wants proof." , "Yea," echoed Fenner, "It wants prooi. "Shall I give It first to yon or the mag- istratee?" asked Mr. Hastings, -coolly. "I know nothing about it; It's a trump ed-up lie. I defy you!" cried the farmer, savagely. Mr. Hastings kept his temper admira bly, he did not even raiae hia voice.

"She appealed to you to keep your word, and you laughed in ner face. She turned In ber tnlnory to ner brother, and he met you and thrashed vou in the lanes. Is it not so? Fenner a teeth chattered, but he oai uoi speak. "Yon told no one of your meeting, Errol went on, "but you remained in bed, nt !! vou had an attack or rneuina- tism.

"Have mercy on me, air!' he gaspea, almost Inarticulately. "I'll do anything mil tell me." , "Sit down on that cnair, men. sum Mr. Hastings, sternly, "ana copy what la nn that niece of paper. Fenner walked trembling to tne tame, and sat down. His hand shook so mat he could scarcely hold the pen that was thrust Into it.

EXCITING TIMES. What Wonll am Enarlnear Do in u of n Collision. In the St. Nicholas Cleveland Moffett tells many good stories about the loco motive eneineer and his experiences. I asked If an engineer plans ahead what he will do in a collision. It seem ed reasonable that a man always un der such menace would have settled his mind on some prospective action. But they laughed at the idea, and de clared that an engineer can no more tell how he will act In an emergency than the ordinary citizen can say what he would do In a fire, or how be would moat a hurcrinr. one enaineer wouiu Jump, another would stick to his throt- "! ..... I tip and the chances of being killed were as good one way as the other, The only thing a man wouldn't do Is reverse his engine, for that would make the driver slip, and set the whole business to skating ahead. The mention of a burglar led one of the newcomers to tell of William Tow ell's adventure with some Sing Sing convicts. Towell was the oldest engl neer on the New York Central. On one occasion four or five convicts outwitted the guards by dropping from a trestle upon the tender of a moving locomotive, and the first thing the en gineer knew he was set upon by a band of desperate men, who covered him and his fireman with revolvers. "Out you go now, quick," said tha. convicts; "we'll, run this engine our selves." The engine wns No. 105, rowell'a pride and pet, and he could not bear to have unregenerate bands laid upon her, so he spoke up very politely: "Let me run her for you, gentlemen; I'll go wherever you say." They agreed to this, and some dis tance down the line left the engine and departed into the woods. "And the Joke of It was," concluded the narrator, that the revolvers of those convicts had were made of wood painted black, and couldn't shoot any more than the end of a broom! It was a big bluff they bad played, but It worked." Wasn't any bluff when Denny Cas- sin got held up at Sing Slug," said an other engineer. "Convicts had revol vers all right that trip, and Denny threw up his hands same as any man would. It was right at the Sing Sing station, and three of 'em Jumped into the cab all of a sudden, and told Denny to open her up, and he did indeed! Then they told him to jump, and be dld-iiideed! Then they told him to jump, and he jumped; but first he man aged to fix her tnnk-valres so she'd pump herself full of water and stop before she'd gone far. That was Den ny's .great scheme, and he ' walked along, laughing to think how mad those convicts would be. "It turned out, though, that Denny spoiled a nice trap they'd laid up at Tarrytown to catch those fellows when they got there. You see, the telegraph operator wired up the line that a run way locomotive was coming with three escaped convlncts on her, and the tralnIlspatcher at Tarrytown Just set the switch so the locomotive would salj piump over a twelve root stone em bankment down Into the Hudson Rlv er. That's what would have happened to those convicts if Denny had left bis tank-valve alone, but, of course, S9 got so water-logged long before she reach ed Tarrytown; she Just kicked out ber cylinder-ends a few miles up the track and stopped. Then the convicts climb ed down and skipped away. Two of 'em got caught afterward, but one they never caught" The Greeks, after exercising, always! , annointed their bodies with perfumed oil. sometimes performing this anoint lug"lhrfee or fourrJmea a day. - J.

INGALLS, of Kansas, once stated that the office of United States Senator wns the most attractive post under the government the su preme prize of American poli'ies the Presidency not excepted. Mr. Ingalls was not the ouly man who held that opinion. In the cloak room of the Senate a few days ago the such a desirable position were subject a group of Senators. "One of the reasons that the office Western Senator, "Is that its comparative fixity of tenure gives service In the upper branch of Congress a powerful charm for men of ambition. Its desirability may be Inferred from the action of many of the Legislatures In the last few months which have had Senators to elect.
