Made moiselle flatly refused to permit Kate Gr?bame to sbare tbe festivities of the harvest home, pronouncing that harmless rural fete a vulgar orgy, in which no young-, lady with proper sentiments ought to dream of taking part. Ali this in a volubility of words ?only part of which were understood? she propounded to Mrs, Barlow, who forthwith carried the unpleasant tidings to the jovial yeoman, who resented the insinuation with the vigor of his sturdy race. He had been altogether averse to having a French woman in the house, and had only yielded out of regard for Miss Balderstonc, firmly believing that his poDds would be depleted of frogs and that strange, unholy dishes would find their way into his larder. "What!" he said, striking his table with his huge fist, so that the glasses jingled an accompaniment to his wratlv. "Are we to be taught manners by a frog-eating French woman'? Says Miss Balderstone wouldn't approve?why. Miss Balderstone hae danced a reel on this very floor at a harvest-home with my head wagoner end didn't think she demeaned hcrsen. I tell 'ce I'll see her myscm and if 1 can't knock some sense into lier si Ih* head, my name's not John Barlow. The lass shall come to the homing if she has a mind to, and there's an end on't." Whereupon there was a battle royal fought under French and English col ors, in which half the shots missed fire, for Mademoiselle could not understand a moiety of the farmer's broad Surrey dialect, and the lady's keenest bits of satire were lost upon him. The end of it wus tkat a compromise was effected. Miss Gr?bame -vas to be allowed to participate in the games after supper and take part in a round dance or two, with no other partner than the worthy yoeman himself or the village school master who was expected as a guest. If these conditions were observed, mademoiselle under protest withdrew her objections. So harmony was re stored, and John Barlow, mopping his face with his handkerchief, returned to tuo Kitchen with Hying colors to ar> nouncc to his women-folk his- partial victory*. Old customs are dying ont, even in England, but under John Barlow's hos pitable roof, they maintained their pris tine glory, as unabridged as when his ancestor had burned the Yule log on his broad hearth for the carousal of a roystering troop of cavaliers in the days of Xing Charles. Txxig tables were set in the great kitchen, preparatory to the coming feast. But the first ceremony was the homing-proper, the bringing of tlio last load of sweet-smelling hay from the field, in the gloaming, just before the dew began to full upon the grass. The Last forkful was pitched upon the mighty load, the ropes were tied from wraithe to wraithe to keep it in place, and the worn m and children were hoisted up to the top of it, the former exhibiting considerable coyness in tbe process, and the heavy horses, with harness decked with ribbons, started at a stately pace, John Barlow leading the procession on his fat cob, and the haymakers bringing up the rear and merrily trolling a song with the re frain: '* Karros t hoinct "Work is dono, Jolly companions, everyone?" ITow Arthur Bunbur entered into the spirit of the revel ! Just an hour was given to the farm hands to "fettle" themselves, and the great bell on the ivy-clad stone gable of .the house rang out the welcome tidings that supper was ready. Then into the Old kitchen trooped the host of merry makers, every laborer about the place with his wife and children or sweet heart, besides a score of farm-servants from the neighboring homesteads. Id good old style the gentle waited upon the simple, the schoolmaster and the schoolmasters wife, the apothecary and his two handsome daughters, the village dressmaker and her three pretty apprentices, and Dame Barlow and her Nellie merrily vied with each other in loading the plates with good things; the only persons of a higher .m U(?2m im mm CHOMAS BOWE DEMA.XD1 :> STT.EN'CT"*. de/'Tcc who sat a-t board b?-::ig the jolly yeoman, who took the head of the < :il>!?\ :md Arthur Dun bar. who sat by his express command at Ids right-hand. Big rounds of beef disappeared before the sharp knives of the carvers, legs of ir utton and spareribs of pork vanished ]il-<? magic, and huge plum pixi'lings melted in way that was startling? bat still there was enough for every one and to spare, enough to pack many a small basket with dainty Lits for tbc sick and bed-ridden, who could not come to the feast, but were happy in the assurance that Dame Barlow would not forget them. Then, when every one had eaten his fill, old Thomas Hows, the patriarch of the laborers, rose and demanded silence. All knew what lie was going to say, for be had said the same thing in the same words on thirty anniversaries of the happy day, yet every ear was stretched in ex pectancy. "Fill your glasses, lads and lasses. I beant much o* a hand at speech-makm1; but 'ores to the jolly good 'elth of the best mcaster an* the best missus as ever lived. With a three-times-thrcc, my lads; an! one more for luck!" How the old rafters rang with their cheers! It would be a vain effort to at tempt to describe John Barlow's re sponse- It was a master-effort of in comprehensibility. He got so mixed up with the glories of the good old times, the iniquities of the income tax, and the audacity of f ro^-eoting French women, that it was a relief to his wife whendiis burst of eloquence was finished. Next, singing was in order, and inter minable ballads with inevitable chor uses of ri-too-ra-li-loora-ri-toora-li-day, cheered the company, while old Thomas Eowe, by special request, sang in a quavering voice a ditty whose immoral refrain was that? "Ho who drinks cold water, And goes to bed sober, Fades as the leaves do, fades as the leaves do, And dies in October. He who drinks good ale And goes to bed mellow, Lives as he ought to live, lives as he ough to live, ? And dies a Jolly fellow." A- sentiment which would be hardly ap predated in this prohibition ago. but which seemed to find considerable favor among the harvest-homers. Then those who had been serving re tired to an ante chamber to attack a similar repast on a smaller scale, and all hands set to work to clear the tables away. When this was done three old men drew from the recesses of green baize bags their fiddles and the fun be gan to get fast and furious. "Sir Iloger de Covcrly" was the first on the list, of course, John Barlow and the diary-maid the premier couple, followed by Mrs. Barlow and the head-wagoner, while others came in quick succession, but all mated from different degrees of society in the small community, Arthur Dunbar being vis-a-vis with tlic herdsman's daughter, a stalwart lass who candidly confessed her appreciation of the com pliment It was at this moment that Kate Grahame came into the room, dressed in her simplest costume and looking as pretty as a picture. She was, of course, immediately appropriated by the schoolmaster, who had been wait ing under instructions for this especial purpose and was speedily lost in the maze of the dance. Reels and jigs fol lowed in quick succession, during which Arthur Dunbar found it more profitable to sit on an old fashioned "settle" with Kate Graliame and make comments on the parsing pageant. Then, a quadrille, and once more to Arthur's disgust the old schoolmaster stepped forward and claimed the young lady as Iiis partner. Just then an apparition made its ap pearance in the doorway, which con centrated the gaze of everyone. It was Mademoiselle Campignon, looking with beaming eyes on the gay scene. Mrs. Barlow nudged Mr. Barlow with her arm and whispered something in her ear, when to Kate's surprise the good-humored yocman, with a very red face,approached the lady and addressed her, and the next minute led her out in triumph onto the floor, and they were whirling away with the best of them. From that time forth Kate Grahame gave herself up to the full enjoyment of the occasion, venturing even such a breach of her instructions as to delight in a merry spin with Arthur ?honbar as a partner. How swift the moments flew. But all things must come to an end at last, and in the wee sma' hours of the morn ing the happy revelers took their de parture aod the old house was once more quiet again. Did Kate Grahame dream" that night? I am afraid she did?of a tall handsome young man with auburn hair and brown c.yc3?which was very reprehen sible in that young lady, considering the educational advantages she had en joyed and the taste for only very aris tocratic society she ought to have im bibed in Miss lionoria's drawing-room. CHAPTER VL arossrEUR, the viscount i>^si?EvrLti?. When Mile. Campignon made up her mind to be gracious, few persons could be more agreeable, and Kate was de lighted to find that she came down to breakfast- next morning in one of her plcasantest moods, even going so far as to make a jocular allusion to' her dis obedience in dancing with Mr. JDunbar, an offense which was setting a little heavily on the girl's conscience. At first Kate thought that mademoiselle, having compromised herself,- was not inclined to be censorious; but she soon discovered that she had an ulterior mo tive for her sweetness: "You seem in excellent spirits after the fatigues of last night, mademoi selle," Kate remarked. "I am more than happy I confess, my child, for I have received a letter this morning which has carried me rato a seventh heaven Of delight." "I am so glad. Was it ? love letter?" "Ma fui, no! How you young girls' ininds run on the tender passion?well, it is natural, and I would not have it otherwise. But, if there is no love, there is a dash of romaucc in my cor respondence. You perhaps never know, my dear, that, though I am nothing now but a governess in a pension, my fami ly were one ?f the noblest among the commoners of France." Kate bowed rn silent admiration, ig norant of the fact that every French exile in foreign lands comes of exalted parentage. "Our estates wore' lost?my father died broken-hearted?leaving two chil dren, my sister Celeste and myself. Ah, but she was an angeli Itavishmgly beautiful, sweet in disposition as a saint. She married- - married the rich and noble Viscount d'Estreville; but a strange fatality hangs over our family. My sister's husband, who was a devoted Orleanist, was discovered in a plot against the emperor, ond his estates were forfeited to the crown-. He fled tor London with his wife and only son, but poverty and disappointment were more than he could endure, and he died by l is own hand about five years ago? a ruined exile.*1 ''Leavinghis widow and son impro vidt d for?" "Mon Dien! Yes! What had he to give them?" "I do not know; but ? should have thought it would have been far more noble and eh i vai rie to have lived and worked for their support." "Ali, el did, yon <!?> not understand these things. My sister has done well enough in the world, and as for her boy, he is ail that the fondest mother could desire?affectionate, brave, gen erous, inheriting all his father's virtues and none of his faults." "Thatis high praise, indeed." "And think of it, Kate, he will be wtfch us here this very morning. I have invited l m to spend a week at Wil loughby farm/' ? "Why, that will be charming." Mate said, picturing to herself the enjoyment she would derive in the companionship of a bright, intelligent boy. "I will coax Mr. Barlow to lend him his pony: he shall come with me and C:esar in our walks; and I will send to Chertscy for the boat Miss Balderstonc ordered for our use, but which I have done with out here before because I had no one to go with me," ' His name is Leon?Leon d'Estre villc! Is it net a pretty one"?'' madem oiselle asked. '"lie does not assume the title at present?perhaps some day or other when fortune smiles again he may do so, and his wife would b? a countess. "I don't suppose he thinks anything at all about wives at his age, If he is the nice boy yon describo him," Kato said, saucily. "At his age! Why, he is nearly flve and-twenty, dear, and ?* But Kate's eyes flashed an indignant surprise. "I thought you said he was a boy," she complained. "Did I convey that idea, my child? Well, surely you accept the correction with a good grace?a young man of fivc-and-twenty would be a more agree able companion to a young lady of nineteen than a mischievous lad of twelve. But please to remember that Leon comes to sce me and not you." **I beg your pardon humbly," Kate cried, always free to confess a fault. "Of course he does; and it is ve ry rude of me to talk such nonsense. But is Mis3 Balderstone aware of this addition to our menage?" "f)f course she is. . I have had the kindest letter from her? she is in Ger many now?will yon see it?" "No, thank you, mademoiselle; I re ceived a letter from her this morning which is not yet opened, for I was re serving it as a bon bouche after break fast. May I break the seal? Ah, I thought so; she alludes to your coming guest. 'You will have an addition to your little party in the shape of Milo. Campignon's nephew. I hope you will try to make his visit pleasant'?so that is all right* Are the Barlows prepared to receive him?" "They got their instructions by the same mail that brought our letters." Kate did not pause to consider, or she would have thought it strange that M. d'Estreville*s invitation must have been given and accepted before Miss Ba?derstone's consent could have been secured. That the reader may fully understand the real nature of affairs it is necessary to take a peep into a suite of rooms in a tall house near Leicester square, Lon don, in the center of a district which might be described as a French colony. Every store in the street bears a Gallic sign over its door; cheap cafes abound with placards in their windows of Ici on parle Francais. and sallow men with waxed mustaches and dubious linen of the true patriot type predominate. The room to which I wish to call your attention is comfortably though not extravagantly f urnishedT and is oe-' baxlow men with waxed mustaches. cupied by three persons?a wcli-pre^ served woman of fifty, with eyes as black as sloes: a middle-aged sea-?ariagman, with black curly ringlets and gold or naments in the lobes of his ears, and a handsome young fellow who hps ihmg himself into the easiest ch?ir in the room and is puffing clouds of blue smoke from the cigarette between his lips. It is the latter who speaks. "Jifa bello tante evidently puts full faith iri your story, my gallant uncle," he says, lightly,- "or she would not ad vance money to carry out the scheme, f suppose there can be no doubt as to the identification of the man you car ried in your brig from Goa to Colombo.** "Bah, nephew Leon, did you ever know Francois Campignon make a blunder? If there is one thing I pride myself on more than another it is my accuracy." "But, brother," the woman inter poses, turning to the sailor, "why the necessity of all this mystery?' The Jobards and the Campignons have been honest bourgeois for years ? never ashamed of their names that ? heard of ?and it does not seem right to me for Leon to go masquerading under a false name. It is not right. I say. Leon Jo-; bard is just as good a name as Leon d' Estreville for all I can sec." "That may be so, Celeste, bui a fine' name is half the battle when one is dealing with a romantic schoolgirl, and I think Helene was wise when she chose such a, pretty one asd'Kstrcville," Francois responds. "But why should Leon marry the girl at all? Surely you could make our fortunes out of the secret you pos ses without sacrificing him." Mme. Jo bard says, querulously. "For my part? I wish that Helene had never gone to the X< rural school in Paris and risen above her sphere. We have none of u.; ever been contented since." "You, dear mother, would be content ed anywhere, such is the sweetness of your disposition," Leon replies kindly, but a slight sneer on his Hps mars the graciousacss of theremark; "but latri free to confess ihat standing all day be hind a shop-counter has no great fas cinations, a ed 1 have no objection tc Aunt. Helene making my fortune by a rieh ma? ri -v." "Anda Cor. cur getting anything ut ?f the secret, tha? wo rid be blackmail, and I have no desi > : un ?ny neck into a :. . ?-."' Francois says w'fch r? grim laugh: "besides we have no clew to the principals .Ml we know is that ou the Cist of January ?ast I was in Command of tbe Irrig L'oiseau d'or, and that I carried with ine as cabin passen ger from ''?'? >. to Colombo Sir Harry Grahamc 1:1 corrrpany with one G-eorge Archer, at the very time that the an nouncement of his d -ath appeared in the Hyderabad new /? ??? :r?.. ? you may depend upon it, our best chance is with the young- lad,".*' ! "But," Mme, Jobard pleads, "if a ! marriage is contracted in this country, and one of the panics to it, unknown to the other, assumes a false name, it is : illegal." i "Who cares if it is? ? hare consid ' cred all that. I tell you the lad has no j chance under the vulgar name of Jo I bard; he must sail under false colors I or he will never win the prize," Cam pignor. declares, angrily. "Besides, dear mother, al?that is past alteration. The curtain is drawn up j and the comedy has begun, so it is too i late to alter the cast of characters at ! this hour. To-morrow M. Leon d' Es I treviiie makes his bow at Willough I by farm," the young man says with a light laugh. "And, if, with a week's opportunities and Helene to back him up, he has not the tact to lnrc a giddy schoolgirl to an elopement, he has no claim to the gali anUy ?i a Frenchman. " "Ah, well," Mme. Jobard sighs with resignation. "I yield to your sophis tries, but not to my convictions. You are sending my son from me, Francois, j and I have strong presentiments that it will bo long ere I set eyes on him again." And all this haf?p*cned at the very hour that Arthur Dunbar was rescuing Caesar from a watery grave. [to be Continued ] Commencement at Bil:ville.

A Tribute to Judge Kershaw. To taking bis rcat on the bench, at court, in Beaufort, Monday, his Honor Judge James Aldr?ch addressed the bar and jury as follows: His tender, sympa ihetic and eloquent allusions to his Honor Judge J Kershaw touched a responsive chord in the breast of every one present, and were particularly tuited to th** ocasi?n. ' Gent lemen of the bar, and Gentle men of the jury also?I regret that Judge Kersbaw's sickness renders it oece>sary for me to have to come to your county, though it is always pleasant for me to come to Beaufort. I regret it es pecially on Judge Kershaw's account. I dont suppose there is a man in the State or Souih Carolina who toa higher degree represents the trse citizens of the State more than Joseph B. Kershaw. Froiii his youth up he ha3 been devoted ro the interest of the Slate, and he typifies in an unusual degree tb? patriot, the scholar, profound lawyer and anle jurist to au estent perhaps unequalled, ctrtahjly not sut passed, by any man in the State. I regret exceedingly his siiskness. I have come at his request to relieve him. It is always a pleasure for me to aida brother Judge in hold ing his courts, and I Come to this court, more readily and quickly than i would otherwise because Beaufort :s a county in this the second circuit, of which I have the honor to be the judge, it ?m not only ? special pleas ure, but ? take an interest and sincere pride in seeing that, so far as I can prevent it, the administration of justice s!:ad receive no set back, I was nor here when the court co ni m e need, and ? have but a few days now to complete the work of the court, and we ought not to lose any time. Jurors and wit nesses will be expected to be promptly in their places. The jurors are as much a par: of the court as the judge who presides upon his seat and it is wrong for jurora to go ot? and have to ba called.
