We extract the followibg para¬
graphs from and editorial that
appeared in the Southern Al¬
liance Farmer a few weeks
before it “flopped” to the third
party. We are sorry that Editor
rwin did not stick to this sound
and sensible advice, and hope
that he will get back to his first
Love before the October elec¬
tions. Wise nun make mistakes
but are quick to correct them:
“The great power of the
alliance is in its secrecy and
uon-partisanism. It is a great
reserve force in the nation when
used in the proper way that will
check robbery and abuse in al 1
parties. The alliance can- ot bo
an annex to any part ;, lgl .oust
use its powee as a grou t balance
wheel in correcting the evils
ihat are extant in all political
oagauizations. To commit the
order as such to the democratic
republican or peoples’ party
would be fatal to our influence,
't would put the world on notce
and commit the order unquali¬
fiedly to follow the policy of the
partp so endorsed. This would
)e parisan in the fullest degree,
and would plae thee orde in a
fight for spoils of office. The
great needs and demands of
thep°ople would be lost sight
of just as they have been in
the past.
“But let the order stane for
prinsciples, for home and fire¬
side. Rise above party and par
tyism and fight for the grand
movement that is destined to
wrest this government from the
hands of plutocracy It is only
by holding the order aloof from
any party that we can accom¬
plish this end by using our
balance of power to bring all
parties to our demands.

CHAPTER tX.
UNCLE AND NEPHEW.
Without any great effort on Arthur
Dunbar’s part, he was enabled to catch
a glimpse of the speakers, for the seats
of the poreli projected beyond its con
fines, and the figures were sitting in the
broad glare of the moonlight.
One was undoubtedly Leon d'Estre
Alio; the other, a dark, swarthy, for¬
eign-looking man about forty years of
age. They were conversing in the
French language, with the usual reck
lessness of persons speaking their own
tongue in a foreign country, but were
reckoning without their host, for Arthur
Dunbar understood every word they
said.
“And you think the young American
in your road? Well, we must get rid of
him,” the older man was saying.
“Get rid of him, uncle! You speak
like the villain in a cheap novel. Xo,
no! Lurking and kidnaping are things
of the past, and i do not suppose you
wish to try your hand at murder.”
“Bali, no! But surely you and I havo
brains enough to allure him away.

UNCLE ANT) NEPHEW.
You are quite positive that he is still In
the neighborhood?” told
"Certain. One of the laboi-ors
me yesterday that ho saw him that
morning in a skiff out on the river.”
“It is very aggravating, certainly;
but bow did Miss Urabame get to know
that he had not gone away?”
"Why, she was with me when the
stupid fellow blurted it out.”
"1 can't for the life of mo think why,
with your opportunities, you have failed
to win her affection. Von have had
better chances than the Yankee,”
"Yes, hut you don't know Kate Gra¬
hame. Why, man, I would as soon
make love to an iceberg. .She is defi¬
cient ia appreciation—my best bovemofs
fall flat; my compliments are wasted,
my :;Ueutions arc despised. If 1 recite
poetry to her, she yawns; if I am hu¬
morous, she weeps; if I am sentimental,
she smiles. What can one do with such
a girl? I confess that I would a thou¬
sand times rather pay my addresses to
the pretty little rustic, the daughter of
the house.”
“Ah, you have been fool enough to do
so. l’este! I see it all now—no wonder
you have failed.”
"Uncle, I assure you—”
“See here, Leon Jobard, I know your
shallow character too well to trust you.
Imbecile that you arc, do you suppose
your Aunt Helene gave her hard-earned
savings to deck you out like a nobleman
in order that you might play the gallant
to a farmer's daughter? When I told
her that .Sir Harry Grahame was yet
living, and that Lis girl. Kate, would
after all be a great heiress, and she sug¬
gested that you should capture the
prize, I gave an unwilling consent to
the proposition. Now, young men, if I
have any influence with your aunt, you
shall pack off back to your place be¬
hind the shop-counter which you never
ought to have left.”
"Pcstc! my uncle, there is no reason¬
ing with you: the girl is adamant, I toll
you. Moreover, I was not the first hi
the field. This American—”
•*P«l)aw! we will arrange that mat¬
ter, if you think there is a chance for
you. What so easy as to—tonne res! I
have an idea—an inspiration—what
sort of a person is this Dunbar?”
"Oh, a great, strong, hulking—”
“1 mean as to his disposition. Is he
one who is likely to l-e nlive to his own
interests, or some soft fellow over
burdened with an exacting conscience?”
“I cannot see what you arc driving
at; but 1 should imagine that he is not
over well off, and probably not incora
moded with scruples. It would be
something unusual, wouldn't it, to find
a Yankee who was not open to a smart
deal?”
“Vou are rig’ t. Now, Loon, 1 don’t
wish to hurt your feelings, but I've no
faith in you. This Arthur Dunbar is
made of stronger stuff; and. as half a
loaf is bettor than no bread, if I cou 1
see ray way to dealing with him, I'd 1 r
all for substituting this smart Yankee
for my graceless nephew.” of the
“Eh, what! and !ea\'c me out
swim altogether? I won t stand that.”
“You will have to follow the pro¬
gramme just r.B your aunt and 1 ar*
range it. Bat. don't cry out till von
are hurt. V, e mu.-t not count our c.‘ii< I:
cr.s lx-forc t!icy are hatched. First it

aW(J transaction, there will not Ik?
diCicultT in coming to tcrrnbJ
out, muier nny circumstances wo
shall want you to stay at the farm to
help things along, and, if you choose to
flirt with the farmer’s daughter, I have
no objection. She won't be a great
catch like Kate Grahame, but she will
probably have a snug little dower,
which with what you get from the Gra
haine enterprise will set you up in the
L-orld.”
“Then success to yov.r plot, my gnl
lant uncle! Count on my entering heart
and soul into your new plans, for Nellie
is a good deal move to my taste than
your whimsical heiress.”
“Well, don't bo too hasty in your sat
isfaction; it all depends upon what wr.
can do with Dunbar.”
"Bah! I am sure of him, uncle. Ho
is young, he has tlje world before him;
he is no fool.”
"Then, you must stir ymuself, Loon.
Be up with the lark to-morrow morn¬
ing and find his address. 1 shouldn't bo
a bit surprised if he didn't show up nt
the hotel he w»3 stopping at in Chert*
sey.” the
“I will go there the first thing in
morning and make inquiries,” the
young man cried, exultant r.t the turn
events had taken.
"No, not till I come up to the farm.
On second thought, it will not do to
take any steps until I have talked mat¬
ters over with your aunt. So, though
the hours are golden, you can enjoy
your beauty-sleep to-morrow morning,
my nephew,” Francois said, rising;
“and that you may have your wits
about you, you had better be going, for
you have a long walk before you.
An rovoir, mon enfant.”
Arthur Dunbar waited until their re*
ceding footsteps died away and then
crept noiselessly into his own apart¬
ment, where he sat for a full half-hour,
trying to collect his distracted thoughts.
There was evidently a base conspir¬
acy at work, of which Miss Grahame
was the victim, lie knew little or noth¬
ing about her history, and consequent¬
ly the allusion to Sir Harry Gralmme'a
existence failed to arouse his interest.
All be could make of it was that Kate,
who he had been told by Leon was de¬
pendent on Miss Unldevstone's bounty,
was heiress to a large fortune, of which
fact she and her friends were ignorant!
that Mile. Cnmpigtum, the swarthy
stranger, and Leon d'Estveville, whose
proper name was .Inbard, and who wuS
an assistant in a store, v.. , c in collusion
to rob her of her inheritance. lie
chuckled to think that there was a like¬
lihood of including him in their designs
Arthur Dunbar was a man of quick
resolves, lie would beard tins lion in
his detl.
Little did Leon D'Estreville tHnk as
he plodded his way back to the farm¬
house that the victims of ins small mal
ice and his worthy uncle were oil*
taring into an alliance offensive
and defensive. For the crafty sea
captain, quite undisturbed by Artlm.'S
declarat ion of having overheard his del¬
icate little communications to his wor¬
thy nephew, when he found that the
young American had money and was
sufficiently interested in Miss Grahame
to invest it in the discovery of Sir Har¬
ry Graharae's fate, disclosed all he
knew of the sad story, and wound up
his confession by a declaration that if
he was man enough to pay the cost, of
the expedition he would transfer to him
his valuable allegiance. in search
“And you will go with me
of this ill-used man?”
“Well, sir—ah, yes—my instincts of
humanity prompt me to render you
every service in my power to rescue
the unfortunate friend of Miss (Ira*
hame, provided, of course, that 1 do not
lose by my activity.” ratified.
Thus the compact was that
Arthur Dunbar found time even¬
ing to run down to the farm and tell
Kate what he had resolved upon, aud
that gentle maiden all a-trcmbling at
the glorious news poured forth such a
melody of thanks that the young
American, when he bade her adieu.
