Mark nodded.
“At any rate,” he observed presently,

nothing to reproach yourself with, and

fil'd to feel that your future is
at vour own dispodtiou again. You were
going to dispose of it afur a fashion
which would have made you w etched.
It is something to know that that dhnger
is past, whatever other dangers may be
coming."
• Another danger was doubtless at hand;
but Cicely did not perceive it. nor was
her companion imprudent enough to give
her any premature warning of its ap
proach. For the present he was content
to play the part of a sincere and sym
pathising friend; in which character elie

that it is hardly worth while to lie angry “Had ho been there/ It was late when

Cicely herself did not find it easy to pity
Archie or to plead extenuating circum

“It may be quite true that Madame

TJIs caution, which bad the effect of
making Cicely laugh for the first time,
was, it need hardly l* said, superfluous;
but Mark—as indeed had been shown by |
bis demeanor throughout the interview—
was a very cautious man.
CHAPTER XXXV L—An
Meeting.
Cicely was not a little surprised by the
calmness with which Archie's desertion!
of her was generally acquiesced in.
Being quite unaware that for some time
past everybody had l»cen sayingtoeverv-
body else that tbi* kind of thing really
couldn’t go on much longer, ycu know,
ahe gave lier neighbors credit for more
tact and good feeling than they pon-j
scsvt d and waa grateful to them for
sparing her the condolence* which sho
had dreaded. She rondo no secret of the
fact that her engagement was br ken off.

local tradition to be that of tho prophet
Jo»hua, tlio.<e Jews of Dagdal who es
corted tao remains to tiietr imeuded
resting place were only able to carry out
their intcutiou bv force owing to the
cupidity of tho Mmauhuun keeper of

that tho chief rabbi and many other rib-
tinguislied Jews have been imprisoned
by tho governor general without trial.
\Yhnt adds to the cruelty of their treat
ment and to tnelr humiliation i* the fact
that the prhou in which they are con
fined has hitherto been r e ved for mur
derers.
“The Bagdad Jews, terror-stricken,
telegraphed to C. nslnntinoplc, but their
telegram was intercepted by tho gov

totally different version to the grand

add fuel to their sniipathy toward tho
Jews.
“In all these circumstances too much
praise cannot be be bestowed on the

deputies of the Anglo-Jewiah Associa

were all a liltl. frightened of tlw young

A «olitary exception waa found in tho
person of Mr. Lowndeu, who wither
ivurel auybody (unle«, perhaia, hU wife
ut t.me.) nor wa. dupowd to believe in
elatemenu which .truck him u well-

I-riory and ha I a long talk with Cicely,
whom, however, lie did not .ucceed in
pomading that Archie waa tho rictim
of eomo muundentanding or intrigue.
"But. my dear girl," he exclaimed,
■otuowhat mq>utlently, "you inu«t know

were to tell you that I had teen ewn

“I riiould hare to believe it if I eaw it
with my own eye.,’’ answered Cicely;
and to pul Mi md to further dianuaion,
■be produced her cousin'. I.tter, which
certainly appeared to be convincing, yet
failed to convince the .tubborn rector.
Mr. Lowndew therefore, wrote a
kindly letter to Archie', club in London,

A Western ilankrupi mu.
From tho Pittkliur* IW.
Tho opposition to a national bankrupt

from the West and Booth, comprising
the so-called debtor states. The tew that
will probably be pressed in congress at
Hs approaching session, known a* tire
'** rey bill, U of Western arlgiu and has

likely be this measure, or one framed on
its linos. U confers original jurisdiction
in bankruptcy matters in tiro United
8tate* district courts, by whom the refer
ees (taking the place of the registers
under tho test tew) are to bo appointed,
not exceeding one iu each congressional
district. Their compensation, fixed by
the court, is not to exceed a salary of
tl.OUO a year and $10 for each
ca*e concluded. Trustees take
place of assignees under
tiro old law; they are nominated by th-
creditors at their first meeting. Tiro

arbitration, and tiie finding of th* arbi
trators will h*v* tiro same effect as tho
reports and findings of masters in chan-
rery. The criminal j revisions of the bill
sre most stringent. The bankrupt may
be impriM>ucJ, with cr without hard
labor, for a period not to exceed three

Aramanthn De Rives, daughter of the

\V* determined at Aral to fight tbte
suit to the li ter end, but it having come
to our knowledge that Mrs. D» Rives had
overheard certain declarations of ours,
and that the fair plaintiff had prerervrd
ail our letters, we d» enrod it a matter of
prudence and economy to settle. As
tiro terms were not to be considered
M-cret, we state them here. We bilked
tiro fair Amaranth* because we discov
ered that she had u cork foot and a bad
ease of catarrh. If we ever marry wo
want a wife who te sound on lror pin.;,
and w* don't care to stumble over un
outfit to cure catarrh every time wo pass
through tbo bouse.
While the plaintiff had the bulge on
us tna certain extent, we had something
of a bulge to offset it. We knew that
her mother used to ran • second-hand
clothing store in Itenver, and. I y tele
graphing a certain sheriff, we could have
