Arabi Pasha plainly enough noeticed the change in Nellie‘s parents‘ sentiments toâ€" ward him, and cqually plainly knew the cause. Her mother did not censure her for so doing, but sat phlegmatically still, and Mr. Trezarr did not even notice the action, for he was still mutterIng " Dâ€"â€"GHladstone !" and * I‘ve fallen between two stools," by turns. _ Hs threw his arm around her and would have kissed her had she not struggled vioâ€" lently and so escaped the embrace. He clapped his hands thrice, and then walking across to her gaid brusquely : «* You are my wife, little one, whether you like it or no, and so you will have to submit to the will of Allah and to contont yourself with what cannot be avoided. Nellie‘s expression of face betokened that she felt safer now than she had done five minutes previously, before the bombardment had commenced, and the war minister noâ€" ticsd this and bit his lip savagely. â€" _ It seemad to change his aspect, usually so galn; and benignant, into that of a perfect and. But the effect of the roaring of the cannon, the rattling eof the Gatlings and Nordenâ€" feldts and the shrieking hiss of the rockets had a very different effect on Arabi Pasha to that it had on any of the other auditors in that room assembled. The voice of the ®""* loud mouthed artilâ€" lery" spoke only one sentence to Mr. Treoâ€" zarr, and kept on repeating that sentence, which took the form of " You‘ve falien bs. tween two stools, for it‘s all up with Arabl. You‘ve fallen between two stools, for it‘s all up with Arabi." The bombardment cpened, he knew that Great Britain had gone too far to recede with honor, too far to be able to back out without disgrace, and that she stood irrevocably pledged to stand by her protege, Prince Tewfik. IN WHICH Hsraly had the words quitted his lips, however, when a sanorous boom came fronm seaward that caused every window in the house to shake, and it was quickly follawed , by an awful roar as though the very heavens had been rent asunder. The terrible bomâ€" l bardment of Alexandria had commenced, «* It looks strange, as though thsy wore ruaning from some apprehended immediate danger," said he. * True I received the British admiral‘s ultimatum yosterday, but of course it is merely an idle threat made to please and humbug the bondholders, A Britâ€" ish Liberal government will hardly dare to trample under foot a national nprising such as ours, I thereforse say again. as I hers often s=id before, that it is Dalcigno reâ€" peated." ' d o M n liensei n i o e uin leâ€"Colme Arabli gave utterance to what sounded very like an oath, as glancing in turn toward the window he perceived that Mr, Trezarr spoke the truth. «* I hope so ; Ireally hops so. But it seems to me that the ships of every othar nation aro getting away as well, and under every inch of canvas that they can spread." _6 You told me your position was quite geâ€" cure,.

' ** Don‘t you think that after all the second ceremony had ketter be postponed," stamâ€" mered Mr. Trezarr, ® At ail events for a few days ; yes, for a fow days, we wil say." * That is as you like," responded Arabi, with a slight elevation of the brows. * The entire affair if the Khedive‘s party only get the upper hand again ? Can that ass, Gladâ€" stone, really mean anythimng more than his usual bounce, I worder ? Arabihas persuadâ€" ed me, and I‘ve psrsuaded myself, too, that it will be all smoke and no fire, just as it was at Dalcigno. â€" I wish l}knew what those dâ€"â€" ironclads really meant to bo about,." Thus the banker reflected, and it might have been as well perhaps if he had not reâ€" flected quite so long, for the war minister at this moment came up with a smiling face to inform him thatthe Ulema had done his work, that the Moslem marriage rite was over and that the Christian one was about to be commenced. THE CANNOM® ROAR. AND THP CHAPTER XLIX. DU ME Nellie would have given much had she only been able to clamber up to the window to look out, but there was no wooden stretcher bodstead in this cell, as in Frank Donelly‘s, to drag underneath to mount on, and even had there been, with the block pillow as well, Nallio, when standing atop of both, would still have been too short by a good head and shoulders to have been abls to see out. 2 Meanwhile, the thunder of the monster guns continued without interruption, minâ€" gled with the shriekisg hiss of rockets and the hoarse rattle of the Nordenfeldts and Garde as. . Nellie spread out the rugs, arranged the cushions, and generally set their little room in order, though more for a mothor‘s case and comfert than her own. Once their dungeon door was opsned to admit of a quantity of rugs and cushions being thrown in, to which was presently added a bisket of somewhat dainty come stibles, a jug of sherbst and a couple of chiboâ€"ques, with the necessary accompaniâ€" ments As, however, under the most favorable circumstancss, it will take several hours to accomplish, we will leave him at his monotâ€" onous labors and perhaps pop back to see how he gets on by and by. Forthe present, place aux dameos,. Not that we shall gain much by the change of scone, for one prison cell is very like another, and even lady captives are not wont to be very lively companions. For he had found in ene of his pockets one of those knives that seem to comprise an entire tool chest, the majority of his inâ€" struments being c‘erlappod at the back by a crooked picker for getting a stone out of a horse‘s shoe, and the young cfficer had taken it into his head that with it he might be able to pick his way through a stone wall to freedom. So he sat to work at once, and as modern Egyptian mortor is very poor and Egyptain stone of a very soft and crumbling nature, he now discovered that in all probability his task would be an easier one than he had at first calculated on. If, therefore, he could tunnel threugh the wall into it he would have no further obâ€" stacles to ovarcoms save the living ones, and he decided that he wouldan‘t even thirk about them just yet. But the fact was that like a true Irishman Frank didn‘t care much about a row unless he could plungs into the very middle of it ; and besides, he was turning the terrible exâ€" citoment and the terrific din to (as he most sincerely hoped) bettsr account in another way. He thought he renmpmbered that the cell next to his own on the righs was unoccuâ€" pied and the door open. es > _ Perhaps it would have been jast as well had both ladiss occupied their minds in that manner, since it would in some degreo have relieved the monotony of their conâ€" finemont, for it was impossible for either of thoem to climb up and look out of the upper portion of the little square window (the lower half was beneath the level of the ground outside) as Frank Donelly had done in his ;1911 tha precediag day, but was not now doâ€" ng.

He struck into a piecs of woods and the dog grined on him, when he looked around to see how noar the creature was, and, tumbling over a stone, he pitched over a precipice and broke his leg,. Unable to move, and at the meorcy of the beast, the poor fellow saw the dog coming down upon him, and expected to be seized and torn, when, to his surprise, the !dog came near, and, porceiving the boy was hurt, instantly wheeled about and went for that aid which he could not renâ€" der himself, There was no ons within reach of the child‘s voico, and ho must have perished there or have dragged his broken limb along and destroyed it, so as to render amputation necessary, if the dog had not brought help. The dog went cff to the nearest house and barked for help. No# receiving the attention, he made an. other visit of sympathy to tha boy, â€" and then to the house, there making such deâ€" monstrations of anxiety that the family lfollowed him to the place where the child ay. i _ Near Barkesville, Ky., on the Camborâ€" land River, a man named Raven was ons day fishing off the bank, This was in 1865, or a year later. The bank was of clay, six or eight feet above the water, and Raven sat with his legs hanging over. He had bsen sitting there for an hour, swinglisg his heels against the bank, when his boot struck something which gave out a ctrious gound, and he instinctively looked down, Bsatween his feet he saw a ston» jar, or at least a portion of one, protruding from the bank. It was at least four feet below the surfacs, and he had cinsidsrable trouble to unearth it When he had dore so, however, and removed the wooden cover fastened over the mouth, he found ithe contents to consist of a gold watch, three or four gold rings, six silver tea. spoons, $300 in Kentucky State bank bilis, $50 in gold, $20 in silver half dollars, and about a quart of dimss and fiveâ€"cent pieces. Although the Jar was tightly corked, the dampness had got in and mildewed the bank notes until they fell to pieces in his hands, Had they been all right, however, they would have been of no intrinsio valus, as all the State bank c!rculation had given place to greenbacks. Speculation as to who planted the jar brought no clue to the owner further than that it could have bsen no resident of the country, It had probably been in the ground many years, for theriver had been cating away at the bank with each freshet, and finally brought a portion of the jar to light, It must have been buried six or eight feet from the bank at first. <* Dry up, will ye ?
