"Dunbarl" Both men spoke simultaneously. Yes, it was injieed Campignon, though Arthur might have been excused from recognizing him in his present state of squalor, his only costume a straw hat | and a sleeveless tunic There was ; hardly a spot on his body that was not j discolored from a blow or a scratch of a i .thorn, but his eyes blazed with a fierce- | ness which showed the fury that was ! raging in his breast There was some thing tragic in his manner as ho said, pointing to his weals and cuts: "That fiend, Archer, shall pay dearly for this!" "Archer!*" **Yes. But remember I am a fugitive, AU that I ask is that yon will give me , arms to defend or avenge myself: quick, j there is not a moment to he lost" Arthur glanced at the baronet lie , had relapsed into his former air of lan- j guid indifference, not even looking at J the strange scene being enacted in bis presence. Dunbar was olweys quick to action. "Follow me to my chamber,be said, **the last place they will ever think of looking for you.'* In the retirement of the room which Arthur occupied, which was by a good chance at the very back of the long, low bungalow, separated from the main CA3f?IONOIf*S BETUIt?. body trf the building by a pass?e* be exhausted man briefly told his adven tures. "I was on guard at our camp in the wood when you missed mo," be said, as be threw himself into Duubar's bed. "And doubtless my absence caused yon much surprise and anxiety. Well, it all came about in this way. Just before dawn, I heard voices in the distance, and, calling the dog to my side, I set forth to discover the cavse of this un usual occurrence. I bad not gone far, when I came across a br nd of Cingalese, headed by a European, making straight for the camp, where you and the coolies were asleep, I knew it was use?eos to try and escape them, but I thought 1 might by >be sacrifice of my own liberty afford yon a chance to escape. Duubar's eyes were moist with tears, as he grasped the gallant Frenchman^ hand, "So to cell their attention to mo," Campignon continued, **I fired a re volver and made a dash for the woods, crying aloud, as though urging others to flight My ruse succeeded. In a min ute they were in hot pursuit; but I led them a long dance before I finally fell into their clutches." "How brave! How genewoe!** was all Dunbar could say. "By Archer's orders I was carried to the village, and after undergoing indig nities I will not shook your ears by re citing, I found myself doomed to a fate unendurable if it were not that the hope of escape glimmered in my brain ?a paddler in one of *:>e great war canoes in which my brutal captors make their expeditions of piracy. V?'e had juct returned from a marauding excursion to a peaceful village forty miles up the river, when the blessed chance 1 hod so often dreamed of came. Sickened with the seci?es of rapine ai?d bloodshed I hail witnessed, crazed with my own sufferings, I was desperate, ontl the headman was a fool to strike me when this mad mood was on me, fur the blow had hardly been given than I sprang on him?for I seemed lu my frenzy to haw the strength of ten men ?and struck him so fierce a blow that I believe I killed bim?I hope to heaven I did." "And then?" "And then, without a hope o? cheapo, I Sung myself on the scowling wretches who crowded round mo, und should have been a dead man in another min ute, when help came from a quarter J little dreamed of." "Help!" "Aye, Just as my strength wo^ spent a grand, tall figure of ame.n who looked to me in my need like some angel sent from Heaven, dashed between me and my enemies and bade me flee for my life," "TJew strange!" Not ). 1* was Just the chiefs son who was ?riviii;>" me a life for ? Iii:?the mar: we captured and set free on the bank of the Quagla." "And you fled directly hero?" "I knew not where I went. It was blind good fortune which brought me to your side." "And perhaps even now he Is suffer ing for his humanity." Dunbar said, with a chivalrous thought of the young chief's danger. 'Notjae, indeed!" Campignon replied, confidently. "They would not dare to barm bis father's son, for the old chief Gam Ghooli would take a life for every drop of his blood they shed.* But he?might not be?" "Ah, you do not know. The chief himself k> gone down the river to Inter cept us?the very noon, in fact, In com mand of the canoe we met just before we entered the lake.'* "Archer must have paid these people heavily for such aid,'* Arthur mused. "Yes, indeed; and I heord that in ad dition to his rewards he has given the chief substantial aid in hushing1 up a complaint which has been made against him to tho British government.H What a scoundrel! Now, Campig non, let mo relate my adventures to you and then yon shall have a few hours', needed rest, which you con indulge In without fear, for I will lock the door, and no one but myself ever comes to this part of the house after the coottea have put the chamber in order." Then the young American tn terse sentences related the Incidents of the past month. "? can c*ear up ooo mystery* " Cem pignon said, when Arthur bad finished Ms graphic recital. *i can tell you how you came into that cave temple, t see the whole thing now as clear ee daylight, for about a week ago one of the natives told me that Ash un Ghooft, I the young chief, had surprised a small I partjr of strangers in the woods, con- ' \ sisting of two natives and one Euro pean, that tho white man was dying1 of the jungle fever, and that he had car- 1 ried him to a house in the woods where be ba I hidden away a girl with whom be is living contrary to the wishes of . his father. As the fellow only men tioned it to me as en illustration of tho young chiefs generosity, I thought ho : was relating something that happened months ago." j "And the natives?my bravo boat men?did you hear anything of their fate?** Dunbar asked, eagerly. . j "Yes,** sakl Campignon, "they were allowed to go to the coffee plantations some hundred miles up the river." 4 "Thank Ileaven for that! Now rest awhile, my friend, for I must return to. Sir Harry." ' : It wo? lucky that ho had resolved upon doing so, for hardly bad ho ' reached the veranda than a runner came at full speed bearing a missive from Capt. Archer .addressed to him. It was written with lead ponc? on a leaf torn from a pocketbook and read: The fugitive has got tho etart of us, and It la ; Hkcly to bo a longer chase than I anticipated, j for we havo learned that ho ts malting for tho rtver by the very path you came by.

Ftlank Archet*.* Though his heart was beating with a ; wild, exultant delight, Arthur Dunbar managed to dismiss the messenger in a cold, indifferent manner, giving him a letter to carry to tho treacherous Englishman. "I will take the greatest care of *Sir Harry,' " he wrote* "so make your mind quite easy.* | Nor did he rush with hte good news . to Campignon; for he knew that three hours' sleep on a tolerably soft bed would be a (rodsend to tho exhausted : Frenchman, and prepare him for the 1 prompt efforts they must make to es* Capo. When Campignon heard What had bo curred his eyes flashed with joy. "Wo , are saved!** ho said.

"Thee knowest I will not Wife De borah be fair to mkldlin', an' Nellie, my little Nellie's goin' to be married." How exultlngiy the farmer gave this tatter piece of information, "Aye," he added, "to be married to two hunderd an* forty acres of the best arable land f the county of SurreyI" "Surely," Miss Bakteretooe said.

Miss Balderstono confessed It was, and drove away, angry with the farm er for his plain speech, and yet not al together satisfied with the part she had played in the little drama of Kate Gra ba roe *b sorrows. The next day Farmer Barlow, dressed tn bis bright brown coat with girt but tons, a very fiorkl neck-tie, a yellow striped waistcoat eorderoy breeches and top-boots, looking, I am free to confess, very much as if he were tn cos tume to play the heavy father In an old fashioned Comedy, took his way to 17 And a l usa terrace, Chelsea, which he found to be a squalid row of houses struggling desperately to be genteel, but having about them that Indescrib able air of destitution which clings to dwellings as well as men. lie had no difficulty in finding the number, and his heart sank as the door opened and a disheveled woman, wiping the soapsuds from her arms, for she had evidently just left the wash tub, asked him what he wanted. "You ve a young lady named Miss Grahame staving here," the farmer sug gested, blandly. "I don't know al>out there bein* no lud-i:.? in this houi*c, but there's u young woman on the fourth Door, back, us tukes in 6cwiu\ and us her name chances to be Gruhame, perhaps it'b her you're lookin' for?hope ycr ure, I'm sure, for she owes me three weeks* reat j on* a pore lone widow woman like me can** afford to have no young person hangln'around the bouse, even if they do call theirsclves ladies?'tain't to b* expected."

The farmer reached the girl's door just In time to hear the end of an ani m?t.-d discussion carried on in male and female accents. "Oh, please, you must not, cannot take It away," the feminine voice pleaded. "I have paid yon six pounds, and only owe yoti sixteen shillings. Pray have a Uttle patience. I am sick now, but shall soon get better and will pay you every penny." Let g*?! I tell you, 1? t goj" the hoarse voice of t!io man cried, "the machine is forfeited. Let go, I tell you ?.r I'll?" What he would do the world never know, for at that instant the burly form of the farmer darkened the door way. Barlow dkl not stay to consider how he should open the discussion, but plunged at the hapless agent, grasping at one handful the man's ear and the j long looks contingent Thus he dragged i him. shrieking with rage and pain, to the et?lr landing, when one kick from the farmer's heavy shoes sent tho poor wretch headlong down the stairs, his cries and curses mingling with the landlady's screams. Yesf In this bore, miserable garret stood Sir Harry Oraharae's heiress? beautiful as a Madonna, but with all the sunny brightness faded out of her winsome features. Tears rolled down the farmer's cheeks os he grasped oof hands. "My birdie* My poor, lost, foolish birdiel" he cried, as he drew her to him. One glad glance shot from her eyes; and she fell fainting Into his arms. Then yon should have seen the vagaries of the sturdy farmer. Ho roared for help, and first almost terri fied the landlady out of her wits by his denunciations of her inhumanity, and then drove her frantic with joy at the glittering heap of shillings and half sovereigns ho poured onto her lap. Yotx should hove seen the big baeket of del icacies he fetched into that cheerless* chamber; you should hove witnessed his burst erf joy when die doctor told bhu tfiat tf bo would onry moderate bis transports, and not cscttp the patient, ho might remove her to Wlflougbfcy farmhouse that very night. As for Kate Oruhame,, she wua Wo week to ofBcr any opposition, and, like a sensible girl, without an effort of re monstrance yielded to his tender solici tude. l*oor girl, she reached that haven of rest jnst in time, for even her superb health broke down under the long spell of anxiety and distress, and for a month sl>e lay hovering between life and death in the "best chamber" of tho quaint old house, tended by the gentlest of nurses in the persons of l>ame liar low and her pretty daughter, while, after a time, their ministrations were supplemented by tlie proseneo of Mi3S Balderstone, who somehow or other made peace with the yoeroan and grate fully accepted his permission to be en rolled as one of tho loving attendants on tlie sick girl.

The condi tions have gi adually become worse. The other day at Union, according to all the newspaper accounts, men stood ready with pistols to take the life ol a candidate opposing Governor Till mau who was trying to settle a peisonal question between them. This incident at Cedar Grove, however, is the climax. Major Mur ray was not only with force and violence foi bidden access to the speakers* stand, but he was actually mobbed and assaulted and was with difficulty rescued from the rage of | men apparently intent on doing him serious bodily harm or taking his life. And for what '! Because he is advocating the nomination of John C. Sheppard and James L. Orr?South Carolinians, while men, and democrats trusted and honored by their State, their party and their neighbors?as the demo cratic candidates fur governor and lieutenant governor. That is the whole of tins offense. It is for that he was mobbed, beaten, assaulted and forced to leave a public meeting place to protect his life. Is it not time for men who love the State, who respect her fair fame, to whom she is something more than "a little hussy/' as our governor calls her, who have an interest in her peace and prosperity, to stop and think ? We are not talking to incite to ven geance or to arouse passion- The avenging wrath of Heaven may be justly invoked against the man who would now say or write one word to widen the breach between our peo ple, to increase their wrath against each other, to increase the hatred now dividing them. We call on the sober, thinking,. State respecting, decent people of South Carolina to stop now and consider in their hearts and honestly, without prejudice or selfishness, where we are gm" ug, what the cause of this is, what the cud will be, where we must look for safety. It will not to hold the conservatives responsible lor the evils which all meu admit. They have the right to make the fight they are making. If there were but ten men in the State who opposed Governor Tillman's methods and ideas, those ten men would have the right to put a man against him and to demand hearings for their notions of what was wrong and right. They have not insulted him. They haue applied no harsh language to him. They have not called him perjurer or accused him of | corruption as he has called and accused others. The responsibility for all the wrath and bitterness and strife, for the sup pression of free speech, for the be trayal of our people?our good, well meaning, honest, brave and once peaceful people?into acts disgraceful to themselves and their State, is on the miserable head of one man. That man is B. 11. Tillman. He came to us as a self seeking, .seliish, Cold blooded candidate for places and olliccs in the disguise of a simple farmer, a patriotic citizen seeking only the good of the people und the State. Ho brought us bitter ness and strife in the guise of reform. He has given us hideous suggestions isf oppression of the people on the pretence of being their friend, helper und representative. lie has deceived [ind betrayed them, and through his teachings and through his tools has rnade them into howling, furious, law Jcfying, liberty denying mobs His baneful iuiiuence has set white nan against white man, family against family, brother against biother. It has l)cen brought home to him already, lor by his selfish and reckless ambition ind self-seeking he has been denied he right to uphold and defend iiia )wu brother?a man who has deserved md received the geod will and good pinion of the public?against the ?ppositiou and deadly insults of an uferior man The one path to peace, the one lope of restoring unity and good will ,o our people and party and prosperity o our Slate and securing liberty and ??lf government, is to defeat B R. rillmaii at the primary in August. That is a work for the people to do ?the people who see, know and leplore the evils that have come upon us, who must if they consider the matter honestly understand the cause md perceive the remedy. It is not a question of customs or precedents or old issues. It is a question of peace and progress and good of the State, the unity of the w I lite people and the preservation of j Lite party. B. R. Tillman has brought the trouble upon u?. \Te bad* notre of itf before became. The only way to be ritfof it is to rid-o^tBeBves of ?. K. Tilhna?.

"Are you in favor of putting white men in the chah gang ibr Mot paying the poll tax ?" Gen. Farley did not t?odge thestr questions but emphatically expresses! himself favoiabie to them both. He was charged with having fane<$ to pay his own poll tax in this comity until executions were issued. He explained that the treasurer railed to enter the j o:l tax on the 1rs', and then wanted him to pay $1.50, fifiy cent? of winch he refused to pay.. An examination of the auditor's books show that Gen. Farley is mis taken. For the years 18 * 9-80-82-87 -89 he paid neither the one dollar nor the fifty cents, nor any tas of any description. In five years out of twelve, wider the law he mow seeks to put in oper ation, the illustrious General would himself have been on the chain gang ? Governor Tillman, Ellerbe, Bates, Tindal are all rich men, and we arc not surprised that they slronld have forgotten how hard it is for a poor man with no property to pay his taxes, but General'Farley has ouce been poor himself. h is amazing th3t this man who says that the man who voted for Till man, when he promised reform and low taxes and refuses to vote for him now, since he has given high taxes and promises etill higher, "is a coward and a traitor/1 should so soon imbibe the hobbies of his boss and forget how it was when he was poor. It is amazing that a man who found it too inconvenient to pay %\ to public schools the year before he was elected to a $1,500 job, should two years later favor making other poor men pay three times as much and work them on the chain gang if they are too poor to raise the niouey.? Spartanburg Herald. John C. Siieppard. It haw beef) charged that ex Go v. Sheppard, the conservative candidate for governor, drink* and gambles. Here is what E. B. M array, a Christian gentleman, says of him : 1 was Governor Sheppard's room mate at college, and have been associated with Itim for twelve years in the Legislature, and never knew or heard of his being under tlie influ ence of liquor or betting at all. He was elected four or five times to the Legislature, three limes Speaker of the House, arid once Lieutenant Governor, and you know it would have been charged on him if true. You know that no bank in this country would keep a man for presi dent who either got drunk or gambled ; and last of all. Governor" Tillman either insinuates what is not true mbont Gov. Sheppard or he attempted to get the convention to nominate a man for governor who is a drunkard and gambler, when ho seconded Sheppard's nomination in the State convention. Let his friends take their choice in this dilemma. Either way it reflects severely on Gov. Tillman.*1 - mwM I I In his Yorkvilie speech, it will be remembered that Governor Tillman, quoting front B -tirke Cockran, said that Mr Cleveland was the most popular man in the United States except on election day The News and Courier takes issue with the gov ernor, and by tlie way, the point made by that paper is well taken. "In 1884," it says "Mr. Cleveland received 4,011,017 votes, and was elected president by 62,683 plurality over all otiier candidates in the field. It seems that he was the most popular man in the United Stated on election day in 1884. In 1SSS Mr. Cleveland received 5,53S,233 votes for presi dent and 08,017 plurality over the oilier candidates in the field was de feated. It seems that he was the most popular man in the United States on election day in 1888. When he was defeated he received 6*27,216 more votes than when he was elected. It is not true, therefore, that Mr. Cleveland 'is popular every other day but election day."' mm ?* am* Now Try This.
