FORGING THE FETTERS. ; i> 1 alii"1. .a1..c..v.v-> imvu, i I Author of "The Wooing O't," "Her ; Dearest Foe," Kic., Krc. CHAPTEli v. Mrs Bay ley was qiite elated to liad , her bold conjecture confirmed when Mr-i | Fane told her the result o! tier in tor- j view with Carriuijton. "J hope you gave him his d smissal. my dear," she exclalmad. aud showed a proper*' decree et indignation at his sneaking round us to pick up information. In my opinion he is a very doubt ful character. S:r Jtreaeric caano: i make cut who he is." ''I do uot see why I should be augry wiih clone! Carriu^tou for wishing to reconcile me to my husband!" said M s Fane. "Most people would consider it a meritorious attempt, lie cannoi know its helplessness; acd as to dismissing him?ho is not in my service?he pa>s his owd hotel bills, and can do as he chooses." "At any rate, I hope you will not De so weak as to let him influence you in lavour of that husband of yours, I am sure my nephew, who was in the sacae station with him, could tell you such stories." "Which you are dying to tell me, and which I do not want to hear," said >\Irs Fane, laughing. *'I don't like ugly sto ries, and I assure you, I never felt more averse to reunion with Colonel Fane than I do now." "I am glad to hear it," returned Mrs. Bayiey, shortly. The lively widow fancied that time huDg very heaviiy on her hands, aad declared lhat nothing made the days pass so pleasantly as crewel work. She was therefore, obliged to trouble that clever, artisiic creature, Sir Frederi-j Morton, to send her some patterns, wools, etc., which compelled a brisk correspondence twice indeed. Morton wrote to Mrs, FaDe herself and declared his intention .-if />nminor nnr'h to escort her and the I iovalid to London. Several days passed before Carrington had another opportunity ot being alone with Mrs. Fane. His bete noir, Mrs. Bayley, was now permitted to move into the drawing-room, where she lay upon the sola, while Miss Onslow and young Kenneth Morton usually spent their evenings there. Still Carrington always came, and he always asked Mrs. Fane to sing, which she rarely refused. He seemed to enjoy lis*l"r-./-? oo not cilont onrl immfkVaMfl.

He and Mrs. Uaylev were quite alarmingly civil to each other, as Mrs. Face observed with some amuse inent; but tbe latter never failed to dart somestinging queries as 10 his family connections and experiences, whenever he left ihe smallest opening. She was growing intensely anxious for Morton's return. His enicrced absence at such a junctura was mosl unfortunate. That wret?a MoseuLhal on-' ly passed through town, and promised to | be back in a week, so poor Sic Fred j was detained dav attcr day. The weather had been bad acid variable, aad Mrs. Fane vras not able to lake much exercise; but about a week alter this conversation with Carrinston, having left Violet Onslow in attendance on Mrs. Bayley, she called Midge and set out for a solitary ramble through the same woods where Carringtou had walked and mused. She was soon aware of rapid steps following her, an;! nlmrxst inimfdiaielv a well known voice said: ?\lflam inttuding. pray send me away, Mrs. Fane, i saw you leave the hotel, and followed. I have seme news you may care to hear. Ma}-1 come with you?" liYes, I am csricus to hear what jou have to tell." seems a year since cur talk last week," began Carrimrton, abiaptly.

"I dcn?t see hew thatjafl'ects the question. "Well, I think 1 can." "But your news, Col. Carnugton." "Fane is in England, and most anxious for an interview with you. Xay! hear me cut," for her cheek ilushed, and her lips parted as it to speak. "IIis arsat desire is to meet your wishes?to carry oul ycur views. lie knows that I bave met.jcu. tie is anxious to atone for the past.

"It is, said Mrs. Fane, gently, but Srmly. ''With our memories, our long estrangement, how could we make each other happy?

Dj sit down here, ;md listen to me " "Here" was a seat placed by a paternal Town Council at the beginning ot a little weed, on a rising ground commanding a pretty view of tne Links and the bay. Mrs. Fane replied by sitting down in one corner of it. and taking Midge into her lap. %,1 will listen, and tLcn you must," ! she said. Carringtcn looked at her for a moment, with a lingering, pained, imploring expression that ail'ected her strangely, and then began in a low tone, while he beat the ground soHly with his walking-stick. "I grant that Fane mistook and undervalued you; but you, with the candour, the justice which seems natural to jou, admit that evil influences made you impatient with him, that he was not altogether without provocation. .Just ihink- r>?' his lonelv and disappointed life i ?a proud, ambitious man, ieduced to poverty and insignificance, by his own lauit, 1 grant, friendless, and leit to his rugged and somewhat implacable nature.

Mrs. Fane, though lookiug p ile and somewlut weary, was br.ght and successful in puttiug her guests on their intellectual mettle. Sir Fredeiic bloomed out into new lire and spirit* in the warrrtii shown hiui L?y his charming hostess, who had just heard an effective sketch from .Mrs. Uayley of Morton's imprudent but generous sacnlices co assist a friend who was afflicted with a delica'e wife and several children. The ex-professor told juiint, picturesque stories connected with t tie old Tower and its history, and Mrs. IJijiey and Violet formed aa appreciative audience. It was altogether a day worthy to bf marked with a white stone by Morton and his fellow conspirator. Wnile coffee was beinir served, Colo nel CarriDgton made his appearance, and it soou transpired that he too had been summoned away, and had called to make his adieux, as he was obliged to see his friend Dalrymple oa particular business, and intended to go on from his place direct to London. Morton grew more animated and full of amusing chaff?anecdotes of dramatic iind other celebrities, club gossip, and ill the matter which goes to make up what is termed brilliant conversation under cover of which CarriDgton asked Mrs. Fane for a certain Gondolier's song, for which he ofoen petitioned, triad to be saved speaking, Mrs. Fane complied, and wheu she had finished it, she continued to play on as if in thought, l'he sontr had started I)r. Meihvm on some Venetian reminis c^nces, unaer cover or wnicn uarnngton approached the piano. You will let rue see you in London," he said, low and earnestly. 4,1 might be a less adamantine negotiator between you and Fane ttian a lirm of solicitors. It mignt spare you something." "Ishall not want your services ia that capacity," she returned, looking down. "Tnere can be no repairing of uur broken fetters. Why do you trouble yourst If about, so hopeless a prospect?" "I must be t^'ie to r^v word, cost what it may; nor is it easy to count the cost," he added, almost in a whisper. 'Wtien are you likely to be in town, and where?" "1 should think within the next ten i'.ys certainly. I always stay at a private hotel in Hair' Moon Street." "Thank you. This summons to Dal i > UiJJiC 13 uuca^cu'vcu dJU uli w ci^uluc, but 1 must see him, though 1 leave you in Morion's hands/' "No Col. Carrineton, ia my own hands, and none others," with hauteur. "Can they take a linn grip, though Lhey look so white and soft ? I believe tiiey can. Do you Torsive me for urging the cause of my unfortunate friend [oo warmly ?" "No!" she returned, raising her eyes Lo his with a smile. "It is an unpardonable offence." "Perhaps," he said, still ia t ie same low tone, his eyes aglow, an air of y outh and hope transforming his face. Perhaps when we meet again you liny give me plenary absolution?" "That is uot at all probable," said Mrs. Fane, rising from the piano with isT:ws?tn her. verv s'r^nire?sense jf embarrassment. Carrington stayed only a few minites ionger, and Mrs. Fane strove hard :o be as animated as before; but. in spite of her efforts, dulness fill upon :ne party, at least so it seemed to her, i'or Morton and Mrs. Bay ley were particularly lively. At last she was free and alone?free .0 dream and to conjecture. What joulJ Colonel Carriogtou mean? She lad never been so puzzled beiore. lie ivas contradictory, and more audacious; fTet. she was not as angry as she ought ;o b^. But happen what might, she vould n';ver permit him to persuade ler to see Colonel Fane?never. The next week seemed to Mrs. Fane ;he very longest she had ever spent. L'he weather was unsettled. She miss jil V loiet unsiow sne misseu uarna^.on inlinitely mor*. Morton's inces;ant efforts to amuse and please her in 10 way atoned for the loss. Sue was mzzled and vexed with herself; and, as vas o!ten the case with her, self-dissatst'action made her seek relief by interring herself in the troubles of others. >he listened kindiy to Morton's rose:olonred account of his difficulties and lepretsion. He fancied he was making vav with her; still some subtle consciousness that matters were not ripe tnough to hazzard a second declaration, it Id him back. He was surprised to ind she was not overwhelmed by the lews of Col. Pane's return. Vet on the Fhole, he and Mrs. liayley were satis j ied with his progress. "I think we shall do now," said Mrs Jajley, one morning', after the doctor eft her, when she found herself alone vith Morton. "That old humbug sees .? r\ nA tr\ rrr\ ca fit* hQC friv'pp . cUII UCU'l ilillitvx. tv.' W, ?JV liu Iiuu T V, ^ ne l^ave to travel this day week.

Morton stood >eTu?tst^ie lire for a moment or two in ilence, atttM-hensaid: "I must go to Cdinburch tomotrwiL^ "Why?'' "Uecause I have come to the~cnd of uy cash, and I know a rich old fellow i ho used to manage my affairs when 1 ( i-as a youngster, who has lent me a mndrtd" now and again, when I have i lvvays been careful to repay.

Otvine to the crowd the services were held both in and outside the church. The jam to get iMo the building to see the victims was so great that many women fainted, those who got among the crowd were forced in by the press and the only way of exit was throrgh the window. The bodies were laid side by side in one grave fourteen feet long and spvfji and one-half feet wide.

It was a special tri ban^l, creating for spejtal purposes one ; of whi.:h is the appointment of a !>;s- I pcnser or Dispensers, and in d misf s) it had not transcended i's jurisdiction, fhnnnrh if* m jv hai' * <1 in /ir in law, prohibuioli did not li^ and cjuld not issue. The Board of Control were the sole judges of the fdcts upon which they oased Iheir action m appointing a County Dispenser. It'th^y have erred in lact or in la.v the remedy was in an appeal. Trie court, therefore, was without jurisdiction in'the nutter. lie further argued that the petition of the relator had not alleged that damage would result from the action of tne board and prohibition could mt issne for this reasjn. The petition of the relator alleged lint Mr. L. D. Clii'.ds had asked the board to ailiw him to introduce evidence after the amnint ment of a Dispenser had been* made, and as Mr. Childs was do' a p^rty to to this proceeding prohibition could not issue lor this reason. The Attorney General sustained his argument throughout ?vith quits an array ot'Saoreme Court decisions. General Youtuans made a strong argument l'or the relator. Trie lirst point m his argument was that the petition must be considered as true, ani it was not such a paper as a demurrer could hold against. The lJoard of Control was a special tribunal appointed under a special Act for a special purpose, ana the powers granted it must hi strictly pursued. This is a well established principle of law. Trie petition alleged that the Hoard of Control had not complied with the reqiiremeats oi? the Act in appointing a dispmser, arjd in that they bad exceeded their Iarisdi:;tion. A man not appointed in accordance with the law is not a proper person, and liquor being s )ld by aa outsider made it a public nuisance. It'a person not having majority of freehold voters on his petition is arpjinted the Board exceeds its jurisdiction and prohibition is the only remedy. The V> jard has no right toappoim a dispenser unless the law is strictly complied with. The demurrer admitted that this had not been done. The Jioard 1ms no jurisdiction whei an improper person is appointed, ana prohibition is tne only remedy since no appeal is provided for in the Disneasary Act. General Youman? made further argument along this line an 1 cited authorities to sustain his pos:-.on. When he concluded, the Attorney Genera! rose to reply, but Judge G try stopped him. ana "111 delivering bus opinion said that fhe demurrer aumiLled the allegation or uwt petition :??ome respects, but so far as the petition re 1 itesto the appointment of a dispenser a writ of prohibition would riot lie. If the Board had attempted to appoint live dispensers for Richland C jur:ty in sieaa or tnree, r.o anoweu uy l:i? aui, then prohibition would lie, bat as iht-y had appointed only one it had not exceeded its jurisdiction. The Doird ol' Control weiv the sole , judges ot the facts upon which they , had acted. Ic .appointing a dispenser the Doard was pursuing the line of their duty, and jurisdiction as to the facts lies with ilie Hoard of Control. The court, therefore, had no power to grant ihr win of prohibition. i'he 1'oiknving order was then issued: * Thk state of South Cakoli.va? Highland County. j The srate ex rtl. W. II.Gibbestx .J.

I have fctited "incidentally," as Mr. Wilson says, that the report that I had att^ndei the Dxialisou caucus went rrom liina to Columbia, but did not charge him with having sent it or of originating it. lie told the Sheriff of Spartaubarg, wno was on the eve of coming t > Columbia, that I was at or that he had heard that I was at the caucus at whic'n tin "Brutus daggers were .sharpened," and the sheriff told it h^re. I verified this before I said anything about,it and only mentioned it ' mcidenaliy" to give Mr. Wilson a chance to tell wnere or from whom he got the report. Lt seems that the sheriff's memory is good and Mr. Wilson's is bad, for oue can recollect who told him and the other cannot. The only explanation Mr. Wilson mikes is that ' along with other people I heard the next day Col. Donaldson, Gen. Farley, his. brother, 1j. E.

I have never had any contradiction of the account of the evening. I had no coonectiou whatever with the matter being reported in the pap?r and did no.have enough interest intheaff-iir to even inquire into it. Here is a repetition of tne report coming from Mr. Wilson with details, but there it stops, lie cau remember everything he heard. out cannot give the -author. lie has never heard auv "contradiction" having "it" of ttiis account of the evening.

I mention this "incidentally" just to satisfy Mr. Wilson, who took enough "interest" in it to repeat it and to reiterate the re port in the paper-*. He is a 1 iwyer and knows that heirs ay evidence wja't do in trie Courts or before tne public, and I put the contradiction in writings so Lb at he won't 1'orgct it or who told him.

C. AN INVESTMENT yielding Over 6 Per Gent. New York, March 7, 1893. In 1873 I took out Tontine Endowment Policy No. 78,620, with the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, for $5000, and have paid, in all, $4768 in premiums to the Company. On the maturity of the Endow 5.20 in cash. As an evidence of my satisfaction with this return (which is certainly liberal, considering the fact that it is in addition to the protection furnished by the policy for twenty years), I have taken new assurance with the Company for $10,000.
