Plain Language From Truthful James.
(bhkt haute.)
Which I wish to remark.—
And my language is plain,—
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain,
The heathen Chinee is peculiar.
Which the same 1 would rise to explain-
Ah Sin was his name;
And I shall not deny
In regard to the same
What that name might imply.
Hut his smile it was pensive and child
like,
As 1 frequent remarked to Bill Nye.
It was August the third;
And quite soft was the skies;
Whichlt mi^ht be inferred
That Ah Sin was likewise ;
Yet he played it that day upon William
And me in a way I despise.
Which we had a small game,
And Ah Sin took a hand ;
It was Euchre. The same
He did not understand,
But he smiled as be sat by the table,
With the smile that was childlike and
bland.
Yet the cards they were stocked
In a way that I grieve,
And my feelings were shocked
At the state of Nye's sleeve:
V> hich was stuffed fall of aces and
bowers,
And the same with intent to deceive.
But the hands that were played
By that heathen Chinee,
And the points that he made,
Were quite frightful to see,—
Till at last he put down a right bower,
Which the same Nye had dealt unto me.
Then I looked up at Nye,
And he gazed upon me;
And he rose with a sigh,—
And said, “Can this be?
We are ruined by Chinese labor.”—
And he went for that heathen Chinee
In the scene that ensued
I did not take a hand,
But the floor if was strewed
Like the leaves on the strand
With the cards that Ah Sin had been
hiding,
In the game “'he did not understand.”
In his sleeves, which were long,
He had twenty-four packs,—
Which was coining it strong,
Yet I state but the facts;
And we found on his nails, which were
taper,
What is frequent in tapers,—that's
wax.
Which is why I remark,
And my language is plain,
That for ways that are dark,
And for tricks tbatara vain,
iho heathen Chinee is peculiar,—
U hich the same 1 am free to maintain.

CHAPTER VIII. [continued.!
Meanwhile, Yates had made Ms way
into the kitchen, taking the precaution
to shut the door after him. Kitty Bart
lett looked quickly around ns the door
shut Before she could speak, the
young man caught her by the plump
shoulders—a thing which he certainly
had no right to do.
“Misa Kitty Bartlett,” he said,
“you’ve been crying.”
“I haven't; and if I had, it is noth
ing to you.”
“Oh, I’m not so sure abcut that.
Don’t deny it. For whom were you
crying? The professor?”
“No, nor for you either, although I
suppose you have conceit enough to
think so.”
“Me conceited? Anything but that.
Come now. Kitty, for whom were you
crying? I must know.”
“Please let me go, Mr. Yatea," said
Kitty, with an effort at dignity.
“Dick is my name, Kit"
“WeU, mine is not Kit”
1 “You’re quite right. Now that you
mention It, I will call you Kitty, which
is much prettier than the abbrevia
tion.”
"I did not ‘mention IL* Please let
mega Nobody has the right to call
me anything but Miss Bartlett; that Is,
you haven't, anyhow.”
“Well, Kitty, don’t yon think It is
about time to give somebody the right?
Why won’t you look up at me, so that
1 can tell for sure whether I should
have accused you of crying? Look up
—Miss Bartlett"
“Please let me go, Mr. Yatea Moth
er will be here In a minute.”
“Mother is a wise and thoughtful
woman. We’U risk mother. Besides,
I'm not In the least sfraid of
her, and I don’t believe you are.
jl think she Is at this moment giv
ing poor Mr. Stollker a piece of her
I mind; otherwise, I imagine, he would
have followed me. I saw It in his eye.”
“I hate that man,” said Kitty, incon-
jscquently.
“I like him because he brought me
here, even if I was handcuffed. Kitty,
why don't you look up at me? Are you
afraid?”
“What should I be afraid of?” asked
Kitty, giving him one swift glancs from
her pretty blue eyes "Not of yon, I
hope."
“WeU, Kitty, 1 sincerely hop* not.
Now, Miss Bartlett, do yon know why
1 came out hers?"
“For something mors to ««»L very
likely,” said the girl, mUehleronslg.
“Now, Mias Kitty, that, to a maa 1m
"vptl rity, Is both orual mid ankiad.
Baades, I had a Brat-rats breakfast,
thank you. No soah motive drew see j
into the kitchen. Bat I will MU you.
You Shell have it horn ingown lips.
That Was the reason. ” I
Be suited the action to the word, and
hissed her before she knew what was
about to happen. At least Yates, with
all his experience, thought he had taken
her unawares. Men often make mistakes
In little matters of this kind. Kitty
pushed him with apparent indignation
from her, but she did not strike him
across the face aa she had done before
when ho merely attempted what he
had now accomplished. Perhaps this
was because she had been taken so com
pletely by surprise.
; "I shall call my mother," the threat
ened.
“Oh, no, you won't. Besides, she
wouldn’t come.” Then Hds frivolous
young man began to sing In a Tow voice
jthe flippant refrain: “Here’s to the girl
that gets a kiss and runs and tells her
mother,” ending with the wish that she
should live and die an old maid and
never get another. Kitty should not
have smiled, but she did; she should
have rebuked his levity, but she didn't.
“It Is about Uie great and disastrous
living sad dylpff » n
oio maw mat i want to speax to you.
I have a plan for the prevention of
such a catastrophe, and I would like to
get your approval of It.”
Yates had released the girl, partly
because she had wrenched herself away
from him and partly because he heard
a movement In the dining-room and
expected the entrance of Htollker or
some of the others. Miss Kitty stood
with her back to the table, her eyes
fixed on a spring flower, which she had
unconsciously taken from a vase stand
ing on the window ledge. She smoothed
the petals this wav and that, and
seemed so Interested In botanical
Investigation that Yates wondered
whether she was paying attention to
what he was saying or not. What his
plan might have been can only be
guessed, for the fates ordained that
they should be interrupted at this
critical moment by the one person on
earth who could make Yates' tongue
falter.
The outer door to the kitchen burst
open and Margaret Howard stood on
the threshold, her lovely face aflagie
with indignation, and her dark hair
down over her shoulders, forming a
picture of loveliness that fairly took
Yates’ breath -away. She did not no
tice him.
“Oh, Kitty!” she cried, “thoee
wretches have stolen all oar horses,
is your father here?"
“What wretches?" asked Kitty, ig-
norlag the question, and startled by
tho sudden advent of her friend.
“The Fenians They have taken all
the horses that were in the fields, and
your horses as well. So I ran over to
tell you.”
“Have they taken your own horse,
too?"
"No. 1 always keep Gypsy In the
stablo. The thieves did not come near
the house. Oh, Mr. Yates!—I did not
see you.” And Margaret's hand, with
the unconscious vanity of a woman,
sought her disheveled hair, which Yates
thought too becoming ever to be put in
order again.
Margaret reddened as she realized
from Kitty’s evident embarrassment
that she had Impulsively broken in
upon a conference of two.
“I must tell your father about it,"
she said, hurriedly, and before Yates
could open the door sho had done so
for herself. Again she was taken aback
to see so many sitting round the table.
There was a moment’s silence be
tween the two in the kitchen, but the
spell was broken.
“I—I don’t suppose there will be any
trouble about getting back the horses,”
said Yates, hesitatingly. "If you lose
them the government will have to
pay.”
“I presume so," answered Kitty,
coldly; then: “Excuse me, Mr. Yates;
I mustn’t stay hero any longer.” Ho
But 1 give you talr warning mat u you
attempt to put a handcuff on my wrist
again I will smash you."
A cry of terror from one of the girls
at the prospect of a fight caused the
professor to realize where he was. He
turned to them and said, in a contrite
voice:
“Oh! I forgot you were here. I sin
cerely beg your pardon.”
Margaret, with blazing eyes, cried:
“Don’t beg my pardon, but—smash
him."
Then a consciousness of what she had |
said overcame her, and the excited girl
hid her blnshing face on her friend’s
shoulder, while Kitty lovingly stroked
her dark tangled hair.
Renmark took a step towards them
teers ana earn to mm.
“You are to make your way across
country to Welland and deliver these
men up to the Jailer there. They will
he handcuffed together, but you take a
revolver with you, and if they give you
any trouble, shoot them.”
The volunteer reddened and drew
himself up. “I am not a policeman,’
he said. “I am a soldier.”
“Very well, then, your first duty as a
soldier is to Obey orders I order you
to take these men to Welland.”
Tho volunteers had crowded around
as this discussion went on, and a mur
mur rose among them at the order of
the officer. They evidently sympa
thized with their comrade's objection
to the duties of a policeman. One of
and s*opped. Yates, with his usual them made his way through the crowd
nuickne&s, came to the rescue, and hii and cried:
cheery voice relieved the tension of the
situation;
“Come, come, Stoliker, don't be an
idiot. I do not object in the least to
the handcuffs, and, if you are dying to
handcuff somebody, handcuff me. It
hasn't struck your luminous mind that
you have not the first tithe of evidence
against my friend, and that even if I
were the greatest criminal in America
the fact of his being with me is no
crime. The truth is, Stoliker, that I
wouldn't be In your shoes for a good
many dollars. You talk a great deal
about doing your duty, but you have
exceeded it in tho case of the professor.
I hope you have no property, for the
professor can, if he likes, make you pay
sweetly for putting the handcuffs on
him without a warrant or even without
one Jot ot evidence. v> nai is me pen fc
ally for false arrest, Hiram?” continued
Yates, suddenly appealing to the old
man. “I think it Is a thousand dollars.”
Hiram said gloomily that he didn't
know. Stoliker was hit on a tender
spot, for he owned a farm.
“Better apologize to the professor
and let us get along—Good-by, all—
Airs. Bartlett, that breakfast was the
very best I ever tasted.”
The woman smiled and shook hands
with him.
“Good-by, Mr. Yates; and I hope you
will soon come back to have another.”
Stoliker slipped the handcuffs into
his pocket again and mounted his
horse. The girls from the veranda
watched the procession move up the
dusty road They were silent, and had
even forgotten the exciting event of
the stealing of the horses.
TOU VE BEES
saying, she followed Margaret Into the
other room.
Yates drew a long breath of relief.
All his old difficulties of prefertmee had
arisen when the outer door burst open.
He felt that ho had had a narrow es
cape, and began to wonder if he had
really committed himself. Then the
fear swept over him that Margaret
might have noticed her friend’s evident
confusion and surmised its cause. He
wondered whether this would help him
or hurt him with Margaret if he finally
made up his mind to favor her with his
serious attentions. Still, he reflected
that, after all, they were both country
girls and would no doubt be only too
eager to accept c, chance to live in New
York. Thus his mind gradually re
sumed its normal state of self-confi
dence, and he argued that whatever
Margaret’s suspicions were, they could
not but make him more precious in her
eyes. Ho knew of instances where the
very danger of losing a man had turned
a woman's wavering mind entirely in
the man's favor. When he had reached
this point, the door from the dining
room opened, end Stoliker appeared.
“We are waiting for you,” said the
constable.
“All right. I am ready.”
As he entered the room he saw the
two girls standing together talking
earnestlv.

four hours," cried Mrs. Bartlett. "I
would be hunting horse-thieves, In
stead of handcufling innocent men.”
“Come along,” said the impassive
Stoliker, taking the handcuffs from
his pocket.
“It you three men," continued Mrs.
Bartlett, "cannot take those two to
camp, or to jail, or anywhere else,
without handcuffing them. I’ll go along
with you myself and protect you and
see that they don't escape. You ought
to be ashamed 1 of yourself, Sam Stollk-
er, if you have any manhood about you
—which I doubt."
"I must do my duty.”
The professor rose from his chair.
“Mr. Stoliker," he said, with determin
ation, “mv friend and myself will go
with you quietly. We will make no
attempt to escape, as we have done
nothing to make us tew investigay w.
CHAPTER IX
When the two prisoners with their
three captors came in sight of the Can
adian volunteers they beheld a scene
which was much more military than
the Fenian camp. They were prompt
ly halted and questioned by a picket
before coming to the main body, and
the sentry knew enough not to shoot
until he had asked for the countersign.
Passing the picket, they came in full
view of the Canadian force, the men of
which looked very spick and span in
uniforms which seemed painfully new in
the clear light ofthefairJune morning.
The guns, topped by a bristle of bay
onets that glittered as the rising sun
shone on them, were stacked with neat
precision here and there. The men
were preparing their breakfast, and a
temporary halt had been called for
that purpose. Tho volunteers were
scattered by the side of the road and
in the fields. Renmark recognized the
colors of the regiment from his own
city, and noticed that there was with
it a company that was strange to
him. Although led to them a prisoner,
he felt a glowing pride in the regiment
and their trim appearance, a pride that
was both national and civic. He in
stinctively held himself more erect as
he approached.
“Renmark,” said Yates, looking at
him with a smile, “you are making a
thoroughly British mistake.”
“What do you mean? I haven’t
spoken.”
"No, but I see It in yonr eye. You
are underestimating the enemy. You
think this pretty company is going to
walk over that body of unkempt
tramps we saw in the woods this morn
ing.”
“I do, indeed, if the tramps wait to
be walked over—which I very much
doubt.”
“That's Just, where you make the
mistake. Most of these are raw boys,
who know all that can be learned of
war on a cricket-field. They will be
the worst-whipped set of young fellows
before night that this part of the coun
try has ever seen. Wait till they
one of their comrades fall with
blood gushing out of a wound w ds
breast. If they don’t turn and ru
then I’m a Dutchman. I've seen rai\
recruits before. They should hsve a
company of older men here who hare
seen service, to steady them. The fel
lows we saw this morning were sleep
ing like logs In the damp woods, as we
stepped over them. They are veterans.
What will be but a mere skirmish to
them will seem to those boys the most
awful tragedy that ever happened.”
' Some of the volunteers crowded
around the Incomers, eagerly inquiring
for news of the enemy. The Fenians
had taken the precaution to cut off all
the telegraph wires leading out of Fort
Erie, and hence those in command of
the companies did not even know that
the Fenians had left the locality.
They were now on their way to a point
where they were to meet Col. Pea-
coeke's force of regulars—a point which
they were destined never to reach.
Stoliker sought an officer and delivered
up his prisoners, together with the In
criminating paper that . Yates hod
landed to him. The officer’s decision
was short and sharp, as military decis
ions are generally supposed to be. He
ordered the constable to take both of
the prisoners and put them in jail at
Port Col borne. There was no time now
for an Inquiry into the case; that could
come afterwards; and as long as the
men were safe In Jail everything would
be all right To this the constable
mildly Interposed two objections. In
the first place, he said, he was with tho
volunteers, not In his capacity as con
stable, bnt In the position of guide anil
man who knew the country. In the sec
ond place, there was no Jail at Port
Colborne.
“WTiere is the nearest jail?"
“The jail of the county Is at Welland,
the county town," replied the consta
ble.
“Very well; take them there.”
"But I am here aa guide,” repeated
Stoliker.
The officer hesitated for a moment
“Yon haven’t handcuffs with you, I
“Hello! This is the professor. This
is Mr. Renmark. He's no Fenian."
Two or three more of the university
students recognized Renmark, and,
pushing up to him, greeted him warm
ly. He was evidently a favorite with
his class. Among others young How
ard pressed forward.
"It Is nonsense," he cried, “talking
about sending I’rof. Renmark to jail.
He is no more a Fenian than Gov. Gen.
Monck. We’U all go bail for the pro
fessor."
The officer wavered. “If you know
him,” he said, “that is a different mat
ter. But this other man has a letter
from the commander of the Fenians
recommending him to the consideration
r 'f all friends of the Fenian cause. I
can't let him go free."
"Are you the chief in command here?"
asked Renmark.
"No, I am not."
“Mr. Yates is a friend of mine who is
here with me on his vacation. He is a
New York journalist, and has nothing
in common with the invaders. If you
Insist on sending him to Welland I must
demand that we lie taken before the
officer in command. In any case he and
I stand or fall together. I am ex
actly as guilty or innocent as he is.”
“We can’t bother the colonel about
every triviality.”
“A man's liberty is no triviality.
What in the name of common sense are
you fighting for but for liberty?”
“Thanks, Renmark, thanks,” said
Yates, “but I don't care to see the
colonel, and I shall welcome Welland
jail. I am tired of all this bother. 1
came here for rest and quiet, and I
am going to have them if I have to go
to jail for them. I’m coming re
luctantly to the belief that jail’s the
most comfortable place in Canada, any
how."
“But this is an outrage," cried tho
professor, indignantly.
“Of course it is,” replied Yates,
wearily; ‘but the woods are full of
them. There’s always outrages going
on, especially in so-called free coun
tries; therefore one more or less won't
make much difference. Come, officer,
who's going to take me to Welland? or
shall I have to go by myself? I’m a Fen-
that way! But he seemed to rather
like the idea. Jolly fellow, I should
say. But I wish I had known you wire
in this neighborhood. My folks live
near here. They would only have been
too glad to bo of assistance to you.”
‘'They have been of assistance to me,
and exceedingly kind as weU.”
“What? You know them? All of
them? Have you met Margaret?”
“Yes," said the professor, slowly, but
his glance fell as it encountered the
eager eyes of the youth. It was evi
dent that Margaret was the brother’s
favorite.
■ “Fall back, there," cried the officer
to Renmark.
“May I march along with them? or
can you give me a gnu and let me take
part?"
“No,” said the officer, with some hau
teur; "this is no place for civilians"
Again the professor smiled, as he re
flected that the whole company, as far
as martial experience went, were
merely civilians dressed in uniform,
and he became grave again when he
remembered Yates’ ominous prediction
regarding them.
“I say, Mr. Renmark," cried young
Howard, as the company moved off, “if
you see any of them don't tell them
I'm here — especially Margaret. It
might make them uneasy. I ll get
leave when this is over and drop in on
them.”
The boy spoke with the hopeful con
fidence of youth, and had evidently no
uremonition of how his uoDointment
would be kept. Renmark left the
road and struck across country for the
tent, which he reached without further
molestation, finding it as he had left

“Yes, 1 have," said Stoliker, produc
ing the Instrument.
“Well, then, handcuff them together,
and I will send one of the company over
to Welland with them. How far is it
across country?"
Stoliker told him.
The officer caUed one of the volun-
“WHERE is the nearest jail?”
Ian from 'way back, and came here espe
cially to overturn the throne and take
it home with me. For heaven's sake
know your own mind one way or other,
and let us end this conference.”
The officer was wroth. He speedily
gave the order to Stoliker to handcuff
the prisoner to himself and deliver him
to the Jailer at Welland.
“But I want assistance," objected
Stoliker. “The prisoner is a bigger
man than I am.'' The volunteers laughed
as Stoliker mentioned this self-evident
fact.
“If anyone likes to go with you he
can go. I ahull give no orders.”
No one volunteered to accompany the
constable.
“Take th's revolver with you,” con
tinued the officer, “and if he attempts
to escape shoot him. Besides, you
know the way to Welland, so I can’t
send anybody in your place, even if I
wanted to.”
“Howard knows the way,” persisted
Stoliker. That young man spoke np
with great indignation:
“Yes, but Howard Isn't constable,
and Stoliker is. I’m not going.”
Renmark went up to his friend.
“Who's acting foolishly now, Yates?”
he said. “Why don't you Insist on see
ing the colonel? The chances are ten
to one that you would be allowed off.”
“Don't make any mistake. The
colonel will likely be some fussy Indi
vidual who magnifies hio own' im
portance and who will send a squad of
volunteers to escort me, and I want to
avoid that. These officers always stick
by each other; they’re bound to. I
want to go alone with Stoliker. I have
a score to settle with him.”
"Now, don’t do anything rash.
You've done nothing so far, but if you
assault an officer of the law that will
be a different mutt; r.”
“Satan reproving sin. Who prevent
ed you from hitting Stoliker a short
time since?”
"WeU, I was wrong then. You ere
wrong now."
“See hero, Renny," whispered Yates,
“you get back to the tent and see that
everything's all right. I’ll be with you
in an hour or so. Don’t look so fright
ened. I won't hurt Stoliker. Bnt I
want to see this fight, and I won’t get
there if the colonel sends an escort.
I'm going to use Stoliker as a shield
when the bullets begin flying."
Tho bugles sounded for the troops to
fall In, and Stoliker very reluctantly
attached one clasp of the handcuff
around his own left wrist while hf
snapped the other on the right wrist oi
Yates, who embarrassed him with
kindly assistance. The two manacled
men disappeared down tho road, while
the volunteers rapidly fell in to con
tinue their morning's march.
Young Howard beckoned to the pro
fessor from his place in the ranks. “I
say, professor, how did you happen to
bo down this way?”
“I have been camping out here for a
week or more with Yates, who U an old
school-fellow of mine.”
