“I fear that glance—if she is indeed our

as if we wero in a powder magazine with

spark of suspicion Hashed into her brain
if she is our damo—will blow our scheme

ing to a halt.”
Meanwhile the Captain and the dame had
moved onward together, whispering of their
own matters. Balbata had no suspicion
that Ba/.ilio and his newly engaged first-
mate were at all related to each other.
They had concocted a plausible storv to
lell him, and Balbata had put implicit faith
in the story. He believed that Bazilio was
devoted to his interests simply because
Bazilio expected to thrive under his pro¬
jection been in and his service patronage. several Bazilio, had who had
betrayed of his years, never
nnv secrets—simply be¬
cause it had not beon to Bazilio’s interest
to play the traitor to tkq Captain, Th^
Captain therefore put full faith fn Bazilio’s
d votion to his desires.
To fully gain the Captain’s confidence,
ro far as the outlaw was concerned, Bazilic
hail told him why Urbandt had been out
'awed in New York, and Balbata had then
eagerly engaged Urbandt’s services, sup
posiug tho man would be forced to serve
him in anything, from fear that Balbata
might deliver him to the police were he to re¬
fuse to be the Captain’s unquestioning slave.
Balbata had already resolved to make US!
of Urbandt to abduct Verneeua, should he
and Dame Grippard come to terms this
morning.
But the outlaw and his son had deter¬
mined that Verneeua should be Bazilio’s
prize, and algo that she should be abducted
as the intended prize of the Captain. Their
plan of capture demanded the assistance
of the Captain, without arousing his sus¬
picion that he was used simply as their tool
in the matter.
The whole party were now in the room
toward which Jansen’s intentions had led
(jiern. Jansen and another man wero al¬
ready upward busily at work in an effort to force
the scuttle we have mentioned.
The task was found to be far more difficult
than Jansen had expected. It demanded
hard work and several minutes to exe¬
cute it.
Meanwhile those who had entered this
room had separated into little groups to
await the forcing of the scuttle, and to cau¬
tiously exchange opinions of the affair.
1 Veil apart from the others, the Captain
and the dame discussed their scheme con¬
cerning Yerneena. Edward and Yerneena,
tlso remote from others, conversed in
whispers of their matters. After taking in
the scene with one of his sweeping and
covert glances, bazilio whispered to his
father:
"Are you as confident concerning the or¬
igin of her reputed grand-daughter as yon
are about tho old woman’s?”
“Is the girl here, my son?”
“Of course! Have you not looked at her
also?”
“No, my son. I have been so keenly en¬
gaged in studying the dame’s face and
ways that I have not even glanced twice at
any one else. Is that the girl whose hand
is clinging to that young officer’s arm?”
“Yes. VVhat do you think of her?”
“Wait till her face is tinned fully toward
me, my son. So Ah! What a wonderful
resemblance! She is undoubtedly the
child of whom we were speaking tins \vhen*he mm-n-
ing, and whom your mother sto e
stole the six thousand pounds and of the her jew-
e's. I d d not have a fair view face

cottage at Yorkville. My faith, she
indeed the living and exact image of her
What a wonderful resemblance!”
In fact Urbandt’s eyes had no sooner
u full view of Verneena’s lovely
than be started as-suddenly and al¬
as markedly as Baffin to had in the
under the cupola when he first beheld
same countenance,
Justus Urbandt to son
tbe last word we have quoted as h.s, \ er-
0 1 ehauced to turn her eves in that di¬
rection and to meet Bazilio’s ardent stare.
A deep and sudden flush of indignant mod¬
esty swept over her face, and she turned
her eves quickly from Bazilio to another
quarter of the room, sayiug to herself:
“How dares be stare at me in this manner:
He is the same insolent-eyed wretch who
has more than once tried to attract my no¬
tice when he was at the cottage to see Dame
Grippard. I detest him! Maggie told me
that he twice offered her money to consent
to take a letter from him to me, and that
she would not do so. If I were not sure
would instantly knock him down,
I would tell him of this fellow's impetti-
now.”
had already . , an
Yerneena all she knew anil
nity to reveal to Edward
suspected of the dame’s purpose to place
her in Halbata’s power, and the young of¬
ficer would certainly have made hot work
for the Spaniard ere this time liad he and
Yerneena not agreed to carry out a plan
whose success demanded pretended ignor-
a nee of tbe design of Dame .Grippard and
Captain Balbata.
“She blushes! She reads my passion in
rav eves!” mentally exclaim al Bazilio, as
he noted Yerneeua’s crimsoned cheeks.
“After all, she mav not be so deeply in love
with this naval jackanapes as not to leave
me a chance to win her heart even before
she is at mv mercy! However it will be
most prudent to conceal my love until i
have a better opportunity to urge it upon
her acceptance. So- the scuttle is forced.

fastenings and e^st it upward, leaving ac¬

and, as lie had suffered to some* extent

he determined to try the new boy’s hon¬

of Their Principles.
The North Carolina Farmers’ Alliance
has been in session at Greensboro, N. C.
There were over 250 delegates pres¬
ent, a great majority of whom were old
men. Many matters of interest to farm¬
ers were debated. For ten years the im¬
migration bureau has been run by the
state at the exclusive expense of the
farmer. This was protested and against as
an unjust discrimination, a 1 ( solu¬
tion was adopted calling on the legisla¬
ture either to support the bureau from
the general fund or to abolish it alto¬
gether. It was also asserted that the
present law relating to homesteads and
personal property exemptions preg¬
nant with evil in its practical about operations the

therefore, “Resolved, That we favor such

honesty, integrity and industry.” Other
resolutions and reports of less impor¬
tance were submitted. In their duelsra-

Forestville, Ga. The freight train that
reaches Rome at 7 :B0 p. m. was coming
in on regular time. The train consisted
of fourteen cars, and was drawn by en-

beyond the switch, and all trains are or¬
dered to shut off steam. Tiie orders were
obeyed in this instance; had they not
been the result would have been indes¬
cribable. As the train came thundering
up, the switch signal showed that every-
thing was all right, and on dashed the
engine under the tremendous impetus
given by the down grade. But suddenly
the engine dashed off the track and began
running on the crossties, and finally
toppled over on one side, followed by
seven cars, which piled one on top of the
other, there were only three or the
train’s crew injured. They were as fol¬
lows; Jim Bell, engineer, bruised and
badly scratched; 1‘ink Howell, fireman,
no hones broken, when found uncon¬
scious and jaws locked; Jim Camp, col¬
ored, no bones broken, but internal in¬
juries severe. An examination of the
switch showed that it had been tampered
with with tiie intent to wreck the train.
Three spikes had been drawn and were
lying on the end of a crosstie. A fresh
bar had been used as a lever to move the
rails, and was still at the switch in the

for disturbing religious worship—a grave

that he was a member of a Methodist

the other singers had ceased. The oase
went before the Superior Court, and the
trial was very interesting. It was that
