(Continued from’ Tuesday's Star.) SYNOPSIS. Arnold Hopetoun, a clerk on a small salary in the foreign office at London, is engaged to be married to handsome Bella Carstairs, who with her mother is obliged to keep up appearances in very reduced circumstances. Bella believes that she loves Arnold, but is unwilling to marry him un- til he gets a more lucrative position which his influential uncle, Lord Drillingham, has promised to obtain for him. Lord Drilling- ham neglects the matter and Arnold pro- Poses to Bella that he and his cousin Kate, Lord Drillingham’s daughter, pretend to be engaged, with the idea of increasing his 's interest in obtaining an appoint- She consents, and he .goes down to ment. Deercourt to arrang2 the matter with Kate. Kate agrees, Drillingham approves of the engagement, and bestirs himseif about the appointment. PART Ill. At the end of the week he did go, and, of course, called on Mrs. Carstairs and Bella without delay. Bella did rot look so at- tractive as usual, he thought, when he first went in, but she brightened up immensely as he recounted the progress of the plot, and on leaving her he told himself for the thousandth time that she was the dearest girl on earth. It is difficult to say how it was, but after he had been back in town a few days, a certain restlessness began to make itself felt in Hopetoun. : E At first he thought it was his cousin’s sympathy. He missed having some one to talk. to about Bella, he said; but since Bella in propria persona was here, within half an hour's cab drive, that explanation would pot do. No, he did rot know what Was the matter with him exactly. Im- Patience, perhaps? Yes, that must be it. Now that the havén of his hopes was drawing near, he was more impatient; the suspense was telling upon his nerves! He would run down to Deercourt on Saturday, and ascertain how his uncle's effort's were getting on. After he had determined on this step, he saw how right he had been in attributing his disquietude to the last-named cause. He felt better already, and found himself look- ing forward to Saturday with almost as much eagerness as if it had been the cap- ital appointment itself. 2 He told Kate so when he arrived. “Do you think it will be a long affair?” he inquired. “It may sound unreasonable, but now that vour father is, really be- stirring himself at last, my pres*ht position seems more unendurable than before.” wp Can understand that,” eaid the girl, fully! Papa said something about Can- ada the other day. Would Miss Carstairs mind going out there, do you think?” Well, I hardly know,” replied Hopetoun. wanted something in England, of course, but we are very anxfous to marry, and Canada would be oetter than nothing, woudn’t it?” “I thought ‘so, and that is why I did not veto it when it was mentioned. You had better put it to her, and let me know what she says. If she has an insuperable ob- jection to leaving home, papa must look for something else.”” “Pll iet you know at once,” swered. “I don't think there difficulty about it. leave her mother, out there too.” His tone, however, was not so assured as his words. He rather dreaded that Bella would dislike the idea of Canada, and the feeling proved prophetic a couple of days later. The young lady declared a colony wes out of the question. Her interests were all in Lendon, she said; she had been born in London, bred in London. Of course she loved Arnold very dearly, and would make almost any sacrifice for him, but she begged that he would not ask her to be an exile for is sake, for she felt that that would kill er. What she said to her mother was not ex- actly the same thing, though the objection was still there. “It's perfectly preposter- cus'” she exclaimed. “Fancy, he’s Lord Drillingham’s nepkew, and the best the old man can suggest now is some wretched ap- pointment in Canada! That’s not what I Arnold an- will be any If she doesn’t like to why, her mother could go agreed Mrs. Carstairs, mildly. “You want a nice little house in Mayfair, and a proper circle around you. I can’t say T think much of that suggestion. You know, Bella, I have always thought you could do much better for yourself than Hopetoun un- der any circumstances. He is very nice, and gentlemanly, and all that, but he isn’t bril- liant. and he isn’t rich. Heigho!” “Heigho,” echoed her daughter. ‘Well, it's too late to consider that now! Besi: des, I Uke him, and I could not bring myself to behave badly to him—it would break his heart. Lord Drillingham must find some- thing else, that’s all.” Hopetoun was disappointed, although in- stinctively he had feared the result. He was disappointed alike at the delay it entailed, and at Bella’s calm reasoninz. He would have liked her to throw herself into his arms and say she would go to New Zealand or Seringapatam with him if necessary. Some girls went to New Zealanl and Seringapat- am with their lovers. Why, he knew a girl who had married and gone with a fellow to “Heigho,” echoed her daughter. the diamond fields; and a jolly nice girl, too, and a pretty girl! Not as pretty as Bella, certain!y—not the same style of a girl—but hang it, did it necessarily follow that a girl's leve should be more temperate because she had style? Yes, he was disappointed, mortified a lit- tle, too, though he would not acknowledge as much as that in his seli-communions. It obliged him to write Kate u letter that necessitated a good deal of delicate phras- ing. It is not the easiest thing in the world to tell a third person that your fiancee does not care for you enough to agree to some- thing that the third person has proposed, and in spite of all his pains and euphem- sms, Hopetoun was disagreeably conscious that that was what the letter said. Miss Drillingham was sorry also when she received it, for in the meantime the Canada prespect had assumed definite proportions, and it was now offered to her cousin if he chose to take it. She wanted him to take it. She wanted him to marry Carstairs th the least possible delay he wanted this absurd position that he and herself were occupying toward each other terminated as ble. And though she shrank dging all her reasons to her- suffictently cogent to impel s Carstairs and endeavor to Ke her resolution. She would not say anything about that to Arnold, though. If her mission were unsuccessful, there was no occasion that he should ever hear how good a thing it that his filancee’s absurd objections d lost him. e went up to town on the morning after Arnold's ingenious letter had reached her, and took a hansom straight from Euston to the address which she had so cften seen him write. A certain pleasurable excitement was in her veins as the cab stopped before the door. She was doing a great deal for this girl whom she was about to see for the first time, and she was curious to look at her. Mrs. and Miss Carstairs, were they in? she inquired of the servant. She gave her “Miss Drillingham. , they were in. Would she step into the drawing room? She did and shivered. Not at the poverty, but at the lack of taste shown in the pretenses. Did Arnold's fianceé take no‘interest in her home that she could permit these glaring monstros- ities about it—these vulgar ornaments, these glass shades, these dyed grasses! gp RB 8, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. She had ity of time allowed her for reflection. Evidently the ladies were mak- ing toilets in her honor. A quarter of an hour, twenty minutes passed, before the dcor opened, and then Miss Drillingham rose at her hostesses’ entrance. oe “I must apologize for my visit,” she mur -mured. “But I thought I might be par- doned. I was so anxious to make the ac- quaintance of my cousin’s fiancee and her mother.” = “It is ‘most kind of you,” said Mrs. Car- stairs. “Do sit down. Is it not kind of Miss Drillinghem,’ Bella?” “Very,” said Bella. am glad to meet you, Miss Drillingham.

It is funny we should never have met before under the circumstances, is it not?” “We go out very little,” said Bella Car- stairs, formally. “My mother’s health— She d@id not mean to repel the other's ad- vances—on the contrary, she appreciated and was proud of them—but she was in mortal terror of appearing as flattered.as she was. “It would ‘never do,’” she was Saying, mentally, “for Miss Drillingham to ‘think she was the sort of person who could be patronized.” “{ am sorry,” said Kate, other; ‘your health is bad?" “A martyr," sighed Mrs. Carstairs, martyr to nerves.” . Miss Drillingham looked sympathetic for the neccessary moment. “Arnold did not know I was coming to you,” she went on after the pause. “I wanted to tell you about the Canada thing my father has heen offered for him. “Ob, Arnold spoke to me about it,” said Miss Carstairs. “I know!" “My daughter could not live abroad,”” murmured the elder lady, “we fully de- cided at the time.” “I understood from my cousin that it was an objection,” said Kate, pleasantly, “but the thing has quite come to a head row. He can have it! It is certain! And it's awfully good, you know; it means—” “It is quite out of tha question,” averred Bella; “it ‘s very nice of Lord Drillingham, and I am sure both Arnold and I are very much obliged to him, but we couldn't go to Canada; it’s not to be thought of, really."""~ Miss Drillingham’s eyebrows would go up a little, despite her endeavors to be amia- Ble. “And yet,” she said, cheerfully, “I’ve come to try and persuade you to reconsider your determination! You see it isn’t as if you would botk be going out there forever; itis only a question of a few years, and it may lead to something even better over kere. It would be a splendid position, too, compared to what Arnold has now—twelve hundred a year, and——” “Twelve hundred!" sald Mrs. Carstairs, with a smile; “splendid.” “Well, I think it splendid, relatively! Don’t you, Bella—may I call you Bella, since we are going to be cousins?” “I shall be very pleased—yes, pray do. No, I can't say it strikes me as a fortune. lt would be very nice here for the present, but not—a thousand times not—in payment for exile.” : “On!” cried Kate. “Don’t call it ‘exile!’ Of course, if it won't do, it won't, and we must try something else, ‘but this would mea immediate marriage, and I've been promised you will make me one of your bridesmaids, and I'm dying to play the part. And then——" She looked at Miss Carstairs significantly. The mother was a- little in the way; she felt she could have turning to the talked more plainly without her. “If it won't do, it won't,” she said again. “Mother,” said Miss Carstairs, ‘Miss Drillingham will stay and lunch with us. Won't you?” “I'm afraid I can't, thanks,” answered Kate. “It would make me late, but——” Mrs. Carstairs understood. With a mur- tured excuse she vanished from the room, and for a moment the two fiancees of Arnold ‘Hopetoun—the real and the mock—looked at each other in silence. Kate broke it. ‘You see,” she observed, “this game Arnold and I are playing can't be continued indefinitely, amd posts don’t crop up every day, One can’t say how long it will be before another is obtainable.” “Oh! yes, of course,” replied Miss Car- stairs, vaguely. “He is awfully fond of you, and very im- patient, and, if I may take the liberty of advising, I should recommend you—recom- mend you very strongly, indeed—to counsel him to accept the present offer while he can.” ‘1 couldn’t do that,” said the other; “I couldn’t do that in justice to niyseif.” “But—but, good heavens, why?” | cried Kate. ‘Was this the devoted Bella for whom she had consented to play so questionable a role? “It is too impossible,” said Miss Carstairs, firmly. Expatriation, as I have already explained, can't be considered.”” iss Drillingham's patience had its limits, ou won't mind my pointing out that my father found this appointment under the impression that Arnold was going to marry me?’ she said; “that it was I who would accompany him—that the ‘awfulness’ that discourages you would have to be borne by myself?” Miss Carstairs locked courteous uncon- cern. “Lord Drillingham, of course, knows best what he would he satisfied for his own daughter to do,” she said, “but I have to consider my mother’s opinions. Please don’t jet us talk about Canada any more. Have you see Duse? Everybody's opinion about her seems different.” Kate Drillingham put out her hand with a smile. “It's finished!” she said. “You must let me run away now, or I shall miss my train, Ah, Mrs. Carstairs, I must say gcod afternoon. No. nothing, thank you, really not! Yes, that is my cab y-aiting. She got into it, and as the wheels began to revolve, beat one of her little clenched hands on her lap. She was not smiling now, her face was white and angry. If Bella or her mother could have over- heard what their visitor said to herself as she drove away, they would have been con- siderably perturded. “And that's the girl I have been strug- gling to be loyal toward,” muttered Miss Drillingham @etween her teeth. “Arnold, I'm fonder of you than tha:—and you shall know it now (Continued Tomorrow.)

Smith, chairman of .the committee of ‘96, read the report of that committee, in part as follows We have now entered our convention year, and feel confident that we are in no particular behind in our preparations for this great event. ‘The finance committee has kept its work well before the auxiliary finance committee members for the completion of their can- vass for the Endeavor furs. The hall committee has closed a contract with Mr. Walter CG. Martin for a new tent and fixtures complete, being a duplicate of the tents made by him for the Boston con- vention, for the amy of Seas eon ives us three tents in all, with an regate seating capacity of about 30,000. Besides these tents, it 1s proposed to use some ten or tweive of our churches, seating upward of 1,000 each, thus furnishing seatings for above 40,000 persons at eny given time. Many churches have alreedy most gener- ously placed theg taildings at our service for the days of the convention, and others will doubtless follow.

The state of Indiana has been assigned to the Vermont Avenue Christian Church for its headquarters, Pennsylvania to the Calvary Baptist Church and New York to the Church of the Covenant. A partial organization of the music com- mittee has been effected. This committee will be promptly completed, and the work of organizing our great choruses through the members of the auxiliary music com- mittee in each society at once begun. The selections from the Christian Endeavor hymnal for use at the convention will also be decided upon, and a pamphlet edition for use uf the choruses only will be printed. The press committee continues its unre- mitting and very competent service as a bureau of information for the city press, a3 well as for the publications throughout the country with which it is in correspon- dence, leaving nothing undone to keep all matters of general interest well before the public. The printing committee has met all de- mands upon it promptly and efficiently, and is attending to the matter of our offielal map with mogt painstaking care and thor- ough consideration. Army of Workers. The nominations for the several auxiliary committees, aggregating nearly 3,000 per- { Sors, have at last been completed, and the notices of appointment have beza prepared for every one of this great army of workers and the whole card indexed at headquar- ters. With a few additions to be made to com- mittees already partly formed, there re- main three central committees to be or- ganized, requiring some ninety more per- scns. These are the reception, registration and excursion committees. It is expected that the selections and'appointments to the committees will be practically completed be- fcre the next meeting of the union execu- tive committee. When all our committees are filled we shall have above 3,000 members en- Usted, and when we add our choruses, re- quiring as many more, we shall have fully 6,000 persons engaged in the work of the eonvention, all arranged, divided “and, sub- divided into classes and sections under chairmen, aids and leaders, with definite instructions and assignments for the part to be performed by each, and ali directed and controlled from the ‘committee of ‘96.

Professors and Students Reproved for Their Attitade. The Harvard Crimson Publishes a Iét- ter from Theodore Roosevelt of New Ycrk, making a strong plea against the stand taken by a number of Harvard pro- fegsors or undergraduates in a signed com- munication, two weeks ago, and outlining his views of the whole Venezuelan situa- \icn, urging all Harvard men to support the present national policy. He says: “I have seen a newspaper statement that various professors or students of Harvard bave urged Harvard graduates and under- graduates to bring such pressure as they could upon Senators and Congressmen in order to prevent their upholding the honor and dignity of the United States by sup- porting the President and Secretary of State in their entirely proper attitude on the Venezuelan question. I do not believe that any considerable numbes, either of Serators or Congresstwen, would consent to betray the American cause, the cause not oniy of natioral honor, but in reality of in- ternational peace, by abandoning our posi- tion in the Venezuelan matter; but I earn- estly hope that Harvard will be saved from the discredit of advising such a course. “The Monroe doctrine forbids us to ac- quiesce in any territorial aggrandizement by a European power on American soil, at the expense of an American state.

Nothing will more certainly in the end produce war than to invite European aggressions on American States by abject surrender of our principles. “The stock-jobbing timidity, the baboo kind of statesmanship, which is clamored for at this moment, by the men who put monetary gain before national honor or who are still intellectually in a state of colonial dependence on England, would in the end most assuredly invite war. A tem- perate but resolute insistence on our rights is the surest way to secure peace. If Har- vard men wish peace with honor they will heartily support the national executive and rational legislature in the Venezuela mat- ter; will demand that our representatives insist upon the strictest application of the Monroe doctrine, and will further demand that immediate preparation be made to build a really first-class navy.” oat Small Fire.
