CHAPTER XXXIX.
THS DECOY LETTER REACHES EDWARD.
Bazilio, (hiring fast, having a good load,
with every foot of which lie was quite fu-
miliir, ami meeting no moles ation by the
SVftV VV’OiS not long in arriving before tlie
bote] in which Edward lodged.
As the night was very dark and stormy,
imi the hour was lote, no other vohie'e
‘ban Bazilio’s was halted before the hotel.
Only the midnight watchman of the place
itaa on duty nt its entrance, and most of its
joests and servitors had long retired for
the Bazilio night dismounted from his sent, left the
horses standing near the curbstone, ad¬
vanced to tho solitary and yawning night
vatchman, aud soon intelligence persuaded and him that ho
had very important give Lieutenant a very Ed¬
important letter to to
ward Hawksworthv, of tho United States
Navy, Loom 48.
After n brief conversation, the watchman
silled a hoy and bade him conduct the sup¬
posed mulatto driver to Boom 4n.
Followed by Bazilio, thq boy led the way
to the door of Edward's apartment and
rapped upon it sharply, clear
C:me iu, ” revpouded of tho and
readily recognized vo ce tlie young na¬
tal officer. The boy opened the door
briskly and wide for Bazilio to enter, and
withdrew at once to his ow n quarters.
The open door revealed instantly to Ba¬
zilio that Edward was not alone iu the
room. Two imposing-looking, well-dressed,
white-haired, and stately visa god gentle¬
man, and a very beautiful middle-aged,
richly garbed lady, were seated at the same
table at which Edward was sitting—all hnv-
i g been engaged, it was evident, in an an¬
imated conversation when them. the rapping at
the door had interrupted
In a remote quarter of the large apart¬
ment were seated an elderly man aud
woman, of very quiet and respectable as¬
pect, hut pluiuly of very different station
from those around the table.
Bazilio's swift glance swept iu the out¬
ward nppenraiice of all instantly. He was
sorry to find Edward not alone, but he
spoke to him at once, and in a negro dia¬
lect which we need not imitate, saying in
substance:
“I wish to speak with Lieutenant Ed-
I waul Hawksworthy. of the navy. I hav«
a Yemeeoa very important letter for him from Misi
I Roland, of lvoseviue Cottage,
Yorkville.”
No sooner had the maiden’s name es¬
caped fiom Bazilio’s lips than the twe
white-haired nnd distinguished-looking
gentlemen lady and tho handsome widdle-ugei]
interest swiftly exchanged looks of keenest
and surprise.
The elderly man and woman in the othei
j quarter of ibe room evidently with great
difficulty restrained exclamations and gest.
nres of astonishment.
Edward, blushing brilliantly to his tem¬
ples, sprang to his loot, faced Bazilio, and
will quickly:
“I am Lieutenant Hawksworthy, Tor
whom the lady’s letter is intended, my man.
Give it to me instantly. ”
Bazilio obeyed immediately.
Before relating what occurred, we mus
speak briefly of tho five persons now ii
Edward's room.
The taller and more stately looking of the
two white-haired gentlemen was Colonel
Algernon Hawskworthy, Edwards father,
tho other white-haired gentleman was Sir
Edward Hawksworthy. Yerneeno’s father.
The handsome middle-aged .lady was her
mother, Lady Ethella Hawksworthy. The
theapartment wo elderly persons in tho other quarter of
wife were Robert Stillwell and his
Emma, both for many years in the ser¬
vice of the Earl of Porclair, and since then

Worthy, 4s

on as been told.
Bazilio, however, had heard not a word
the above, and he gave the decoy lettei
into Edwar's eager hand without tho least
hesitation.'
Edward opened the letter hurriedly. lie
was greatly modified by its being presented
to him at Buch a time. As he opened it the
ring fell from it on th© t.oor. He stooped
quickly, picked it up, recognized it at a
glaneo as the o e which he hud put upon nis
betrothed s fair finger that day, read tho
letter swiftly, a id with evidentngitatioa ex¬

“Sir Edward, Lady Ethella, father, par¬

BAZILIO RUSHES UPON HIS FATE.
Instantly af;er uttering tho words with
which we closed tho preceding chapter,
Edward turned hurriedly to the disguLed
Biz.dio nnd exclaimed:
“My man, th s letter says you will have a
carriage at my service at tho door. Is it at
the front?”
“It is, sir,” replied Bazilio, bowing low,
tion and thereby that concealing flaming the devilish exulta¬
was m his eyes. "Miss
Roland told me not to lose a minute in get¬
ting you to the cottage, for the old lady,
Mrs. Grippard. is dying fast. My carriage
is ready at tho front, sir. ”
“It is a stormy Light.” said Edward, as
he hastened to put on an overcoat. “I will
bo ready in a moment, ray man,”
“My (Far son, “ here ejaculated Colonel
Hawsworthy, earnest'y. “I insist that iio- you
must read aloud that U-tti r from Miss
laud. 8he would not object, wero she
aware of the attendant circumstances. It

I beg you to read it a'oud. Lieutenant
Hawsworthy,” uttered the baronet,
“What! The devil!” me .tally ejaculated
Bazilio, appalled by whit he heard. “Here
are Fir Edward and Lady Hawksworthy—
tho girl’s father and mother! And the
lover's father, also! 'This may ruin our
game. However, if tho young fellow
conies alone, and (bo others are slow in
following, tho game may yet end as we
planned. ” read the letter aloud swiftly, and
Edward
then added, excitedly: command
“You see! I must obey this
without another moment s delay. Dame
Grippard nnd her secret may ho beyond
avail to any if she dies before I arrive.
Father, Sir Edward, I w 11 no longer con¬
ceal the fact that I and Jliss Verneeui Ro¬

trothed.” baro¬
Before Edward could sny more, the
net exclaimed, resolute’y. nnd Lady Ethel-
“I insist upon my r ght,

from tho room, eager to be speoding back

Memorial Day—dear to the Southern
heart from its associations with the heroic
dead of every grade aud rank, whose pre¬
cious remains lie all over thc land—was
celebrated with a degree of propriety, re¬
finement of taste and beautiful display,
|never Ithe surpassed. No Memorial Day iu
past decade was observed more ap¬
propriately. large Nearly every store iu tho
towns and cities closed its doors,
and nine-tenths of the factories and ma¬
chine shops gave their employes a half
holiday. All ages, both sexes, the high,
(each jtlre low, other the in rich showing and the their poor, devotion vied with to
(the day. The soldiers, bedecked in their
fiaming uniforms, members of various
secret orders, attired in their uniforms,
the young cadets iu their suits
of gray, were astir and showed
u zeal that was commendable.
In Atlanta, Ga., the procession was a
fine one, and formed as follows: Chief
bf Police Connolly, Captain Mercer and
Captain Wright, all handsomely mounted,
were in front. Immediately following
was the Capital band; then eamc Judge
Calhonn and Col. Thomas, both mounted
and wearing sashes. The Confederate
veterans, about one hundred in number,
walked two and two. They wore their
new badges. Two tribes of Bed Men
came close behind the veterans. Captain
Milledge side, and and Charles their Wurm rode
immediately in rear was
the Atlanta Rifles brass band. The rest
of the procession was made up as follows:
Atlanta Rifles, Moreland Park Cadets,
Means Cadets, Atlanta Zouaves, Gate
