Those made by the idow Spicer were singularly light pastry; De- | fore the honeymoon was over she forgot she had made any, —— her maternal care of me wasa dead letter. My father was an embarrassed man. Mrs. Spicer brought him nothing but a ready-made family: one son, Jack Spicer, already in toe army, and two daughters. When they first joined our domestic circle Cornelia and Ade- laide Spicer looked to my juvenile eyes fuil grown women; and yet it was acurious fact Unat five years later, when I had changed from | a child to a “missy” of twelve, they were still In thelr teens and five additional years only | seemed to have the effect of making them | younger. ‘The Spicer girls were no beauties, They took after their mother; they were larnge-nosed,surill- tongued women like her; they spent their ives | dressipg and dreaming of-a possible marriage, | buteach year seemed to make the struggle more hopeless. Between them they led my father a miserable life. He had always M a meek littie man, but from the moment he fell under the yoke of the Spicers he seemed to lose his identity and to be merged in them. It was quite enough for Mra. Spicer to say 10 her stentorlan voice: “My girls must have a season In town, William. C:ndy’s schooling must stand over for another year,” and so if Stood over altogether. How I picked up a des- ultory education Heaven only knows. The only branch that received any attention was millinery; the Miss Spicers conceived that I had a nice taste for trimming, and kep: me pretty busy, and by-and-by Clea- entine, the French maid, transferred her work to me! She could not stand the temper Of “ces viettes filles,” she and after she leit it was not found conventent to fill her place. The constant drains made by the Spicers gen- erally on ned father’s purse were beginning to empty that long-enduring article. The seasons tu town were becoming matters of great dif- fleulty, and each took aslice outof the poor Tesiaue, My stepmother was killing the gooso with a vengeance, and the golden eggs were spent for no good. ' Each season saw the returao of the Miss Spicers crosser, older, thinner, sourer. Sometimes they would bring with them some man who was supposed to have taken a fancy to either Cornelia or Adelaide, and it was hoped that country-house life might fan the languid fme {nto a healthy fire; buat the old saying, ““@pportunity and fmportunity,” seemed to have the contrary effect on the Miss Spicers’ admirers; they made great {nroads on the lar- der, but ho progress toward matrimony. During these visits | had strict orders to re- main in iny own room. My stepsisters had a strong dislike to any of their so-called admirers seeing me. Men have, unfortunately, a prefer- ence for fresh young faces, and, in spite of all the nostrums that the Spicers spent a little for- tune upon, each day increased the difficulty of keeping up the fiction of girlhood. To do them justice they worked hard. If they had been a itttle kinder to me I could have found it in my heart to pity them, forsurely no laborers put tn a severer day’s toil, Morning, noon and night they were digging in ungrateful soil, and the harvest seemed never ripe.

They were forever throwing themselves in the way, lonz- ing for admittance to the inner cirele at tne Hall of which such delightful stories were told by Jack, who was hand-and-glove with the whoie set. Long and loud were the dispuie3 between him and his sisters, and bitter their 1 dignation at his refusal to jog them iato the tableaus, of which he was the stace-manager. “Just aso ee Renee rh Never eae owe r girls 80 hel ey would have go!

On the day of the ball they were furious. ‘Their dresses had come down from London; they were very handsome, and, although more sulted for sixteen than six-and-thirty, had cost a little fortune, The afternoon was ‘spent in trying them on. It was weary work on this fine sum- mer day, pinning this, lengthening here, tight- ening there, hustled by one sister, scolded by the other. My head was weary, my legs were aching; I felt utterly depressed and humiliated. J had for the first time agked a favor, and been not only refused, but refused with scoffs and Jeers. Jack had’ pro} taking me to see the BI rebearsal of the wonderful tableaus, arranged after Mrs. Freake’s style. I had prayed to be let go: Cornelia had drawn me tn front of the long glass, and she and Adelaide had laughed over the notion of my presenting myself in such garb before the people at the Castle. i “They would take you for a kkchenmald,” Adelaide bad said, still eigeling. “T can fancy Colonel de Molyns putting his eye-glass Into his eye and wondering where she came from !” : “Cindy thinks herself so lovely that every one would bow down before her.

It's a shame of you to turn_ason against his own inotuer anisis ters. You area designing, ungrateful creature and outside these doors you shan’t stir.” I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of see- ing me cry; but, later on, when I i away from them, I wept bitterly. I was so disappotated; I did wish to see the tableaux—those beautiful women as ‘Effie Deans” and “Rebecca” and my own dear favorite “Mary Stuart;” I knew them all so well. I sat down in the deep window seat of the hall and cried and cried again. Suddenly the door opened and Jack came in quickly. “Cindy!” but I didn’t stir till he came and stood beside me, “It was no use, Jack,” I said: “they woulda’t let me go to the rehearsal. I don’t think I cao bear it much tonger, Jack; they are so very, very unkind to me.” “ Don't cry, Cindy; you'll have the whtp-hand of them yet. never fear. Isay, what do you think? T've settled it all. You are coming with "I erled, “nonsense! How could I? ‘yd never let me.” Phey’li know nothing aboutit. You just do as! tell you.” And then he sat down and told me all about {t. One of the beautiful women bad got a bad toothache; her face was all swollen aud disfigured, and the tableau in which she was to appear ‘was spoilt. “Jt was impossible to fill her place, so promised that The: you would do it,” Jack went on. “It’s nothing; only just to stand fora minute. She has her dress ready for you to put on, and you'll see all the fun afterward, and no one will know you.” It was really very tempting, and I coulda’t resist this glimpse of the great world, but I think T deserved ali the scoldings I got duriay the tollette of the sisters. My head was ruaning on what was to come, and I could not remember where a single thing was. “‘T do belleve the girl fs feverish; look at the color of her cheeks,” I heard Corneiia whtsper to Adelaide. But this idea did not make them a b.t more considerate In their demands. At last they finished, and the sound of the retreating wheels of thelr carriage was like music tomy ears. I tlew tomy own room and made myself ready. I don’t in the least remember how we got to the hall. Itall seemed ime adream. But pres- ently I found myseif in a large bedroom, get- Uby on somebedy's dress, with a tall, quiet woman helping me.

This small property he purchased at nearly double its value. Instead of receiving a fair interest upon the purchase money the property did not ‘ah him £100 a year, and this was literally all that he could call his own. i Here for over fifteen years he lived a life o struggling poverty, borne by him with good- tempered resignation, and tempered by the closest les of family affection.

A thick-set man, about 5 feet 7 inches, whose dress betrayed no symp- fom of care or neatness; his grizzled hair and beard added ten years at least to his age, and a general want of firmness in his galt seemed to indicate that he was more than 4s, His first care fn the morning was to feed the fowl; his next to look after his black retrievers, of which he was very proud. During the day he walked about the small farm or drove after luncheon Into the village of Clonbur or Maam, converstig with the peasants on terms of the most perfect equality, He generally returned In time for dinner at 8, and the household was at rest before 11. ‘To such a man the duties of a Magistrate must have been a welcome distrac- Uon, and a day seldom passed on watch local Itigants were not to be found at Ebor Hall giving a private rehearsal of what was to be SWOrN at petty sessions. In all co! the suit of the pollce or other authoritt iooked upon as the people’s magistrate, voice could be counted upon in opposttion to what less tender-hearted men would call stern stice. ‘ihe establishment of Ebor Hall consisted of two femaie servants, the yard work being done by a tenant calied tn trom timeto time. Living a life of such rigid stiuplicity, thrown upon the | society of 1he peasants—for neighbors he had ; none—and apparently enjoying their society on terms of equality, might be assumed that Lord Mountmorres was, if any person In the position | of a gentleman could be, a favorite with the peopie. The fact of his belng a nobleman seemed never to strike him, and be was careless and easily led, except_ when on rare occasions he looked for a given object, when he would go any lengths to gain his point. ‘Two or three mes he lost some stock. A sheep was found drowned ip the lake anda hetfer in a deep soft pond in the fleld. Nothing would persuade bim that these animals were not matlictously kiiled, although at the time he Was the most popular man in the district, and he sought for and obtained compensation for malicious thjuries. With the general depres- sion of the years 1S78-'9 caine a crisis in Lord : Mountmorres’s affairs. There were eleven ten- ants who declared that they could pay nothing except at a reduction of 30 percent. He offerei two shillings in the pound, which was not ac- cepted; and for the first timé there was a strain between the tenants and their landiord, Then an arrangement was made by a man named Sweeney, who held one of the small farms and who owed some rent; he gave up the farm and reentered as caretaker. “When, a short time after, Lord Mountmorres sought to remove him, Sweebey clatmed the status of tenant, but the case Was decided against bim at Quarter Sessions. At this the it was considered necas- sary that Lord Mountmorres should have the protection of the constabulary, as in the west of Ireland such a dispute with a tenant or herd is ample grounds for apprehending a murder, Forover a year Lord Mowntmorres was ac- companied by two policemen, until he settled ‘with Sweeney and left him in possession of his farm, The police were then withdrawn, and no apprehensions for his safety were felt. ‘At this time bis popularity was as it as ever. But early in the Present spring an event occurred which changed the current of popular Opinion. Returning early one morning from Dublin, Lord Mountmorres. saw emerge from a wood belonging to a friend an old man, who had gone at that hour to carry away some wood. for tiring. He gave Informat.on to the caretaker, and attended ‘as a witness to prove the casé against the man, who was fined ten shillin; ‘This was a death blow to his popularity. The higher 1n favorhe had stood as a champion of the people, the greater the reaction. He was reviled as an informer, and the peasants took a dislike to him. His own tenants, who had pald him no rent, now refused to do any work for him, and the small crop of oats sown in spring stood untilit was eaten by cattle, as no one could be got to cut it. A faithfal ‘old woman, who bad been nurse to the childr bow lived at the gate house with her husband, Was the only messenger that could be procured. Net a country Jad would go to Clonbur for love or money, Sull the mere fact of telling a netzh. bor’s caretaker that the formec’s wood’s were being broken down has not hitherto been eoa- sidered suilicient to place amau’s life in danger, apd though Lord Mouutmorres was again oftred the protection of the police, he declined it. No processes were belng served for rent, One for £19 obtained against'a tenant in Juno had pot been executed, and there seemed no reason Cn earth for apprehending bis murder. His childreh were received with blessings by the people of the neighborhood, and he himself was Still appcaled to In magisterial case: pinch Of poverty must have beeu grievously Ughtened by the retusal of tenants to pay rent, but he bad received no threat, and fancied his lite sec The circumstances of the murder are well known, Jt increased the enthusiasm at th: Land League meeting held ar Clonbur next day, and at various meetings since. It intensted the determination to exterminate landlords, Outside this it could have no effect, except for evil on the tenants, ‘The story of the gun w ing found by the correspondent of the Grap/:/c inside the wall at the scene of the murder Is Le Lord Mountmorres was shot by bullets fired from two revolvers. Any waddiaj rit at the place must have been lett as a blind, since the police searched every inch of thé ground the morning following the murder, Shooting Gil Welty with Nitro-Gly- cerine.

Tie glycerine was then poured into the shell, and, being heavier than water, forced the latter to flow out. When all the glycerine had been oured in the shell was lowered 1,800 feet into je well, and there rested on what 1s called a1 “anchor,” 25 feet from the bottom. It was now ready to be set off. There was about 706 feet of ofl above the shell. Through the center of the shell ran a small tin tube, inside of which was a small iron rod tn four pleces. On the end of each piece was placed a common percussion cap. the top of this rod was a lin plate so arranged that anything dropped down through the casing would strike it, and the force of the falling article would set off the caps, which would in turn explode the nitro- glycerine.

The train once more started, and we awoke the tired Teuton and informed him how his father bad been left behind, and how he had had taken the pocket-book with him, a piece of intelligence which produced the most starUing results. The sleepy one began to use the most unfilial language, felt frantically for his pocket- book, and uttered a howl of rage. He remained unintelligible for some time, but at last he managed to gasp out that he had no father, and had never in his life seen the innocent old gentleman before that fee “There were 8,000 florins in that pocketboos.” shouted he wildly, “the wretch must have seen me take it outat the station.” This is one of the most impudent cases of robbery which has happened bere forsome time, for it required an amount of deliberation, cooiness and daring which would have sufficed a general to win a great battie.
