CHAPTER LXVI. | (Continued. ) |

Arthur found this man out ; visited him at his own place. He was very poor and} mingled pomposity with obsequiousness, | so that Arthur felt convinced he was to, be bought, body and soul, what there was | of him.

He sounded him accordingly, and the re-! sult was that the man agreed to perform a} part for him. |

Arthur wrote it, and they rehearsed it| together, Astothe dialogue, that was a, constructed that it could be varied con-| siderably according to the cues, which | could be foreseen to a certain extent ; but not precisely, since they were to be given by Helen Rolleston, who was not in the! secret.

But whilst this plot was fermenting, | other events happened, with rather a con- | trary tendency; and these will be more in- | telligible if we go back to Nancy Rouse’s | cottage, where, indeed, we have kept! Joseph Wylie in an uncomfortable position a very long time.

Mrs. James, from next door, was at last admitted into Nancy’s kitchen, and her first word was, ‘I suppose you know what I’m come about, ma’am.’

‘Which is to return the sass-pan you borrowed,no doubt,’ was Nancy’s ingenuous reply.

‘No, ma’am; but I'll send my girl in with it as soon as she have cleaned it, you may depend,’

‘Thank ye, again.’ ‘You're not afeared I shall steal it I hope.’

‘La, bless the woman! don’t fly out at a body like that, I can’t afford to give away my sass-pan.’

‘Sass-pans is not in my head.’

‘Nor in your hand neither.’

‘’'m come about my lodger—a most respectable gentleman, which he have met with an accident. He did but go to put something away in the chimbley, which he is @ curious gent, and has traveled a good deal, and learned the foreign customs, when his hand was caught in the brick-work, somehows, and there he is hard and fast.’

I shail be glad to see it

ness of mankind, the loss of her lodger (who would now go bodily next door in-

‘stead of sending his hand), and the better

days she had by iteration brought herself to believe she had seen. Wylie soon entered Nancy’s house, and

| her first question was, ‘The £2,000, how

did you get them?’

‘No matter how I got them,’ said W ylie, sulkily. ‘What have you done with them?

‘Put them away.’

‘That is all right. I’m blest if I didn’t think they were gone forever.’

‘I wish they had never come. TIil-gotten money isacurse.’ Then she taxed him with scuttling the ‘Proserpine,’ and asked him whether that money had not been the bribe. But Joe was obdurate. ‘I never split on a friend,’ said he. ‘And you have nobody to blame but yourself; you wouldn’t splice without £2,000. IL loved you, and I got it how I could: D’ye think a poor fellow like me can make £2,000 in a voyage by hauling in ropes, and tying true-lovers’ knots in the foretop ?’

Nancy had her answer ready ; but this remembrance pricked her cwh conscience and paved the way to a reconciliation. Nancy had no high-flown notions. She loved money, but it must be got without palpable dishonesty; per contra, she was not going to denounce her sweetheart, but then again she would not marry him so long as he differed with her about the meaning of the eighth commandment.

This led to many arguments, some of them warm, some affectionate; and so we leave Mr. Wylie under the slow but salu- tary influence of love and unpretending probity. He continued to lodge next door. Nancy would only receive him as a visitor.

(To be continued. )

Military Titles in the United States.

The excess of military titles in the United

| States over the force of officers and men

available for service has often formed the subject for remark. The number of colon- els, majors and captains (rarely does one hear of a subaltern), used to be extraordin- ary. This abundance of officers of the higher regimenta] grades was due te zhe system that was long in vogue of rewarding all kinds of service by conferring brevet rank on the person whom the government delighted to honor. In consequence of its obvious abuses, this system of pro- motion was at last abolished. But the trouble is that, the cons‘itution not per-

‘Do you know anything about this?’ said Nancy to the mite, severely.

‘No,’ said the mite, with a countenance of polished granite.’

‘La, bless me!’ said Nancy, with a sudden start. ‘Why is she talking about the thief as you and | catched putting his hand through the wall into my room, and made him fast again the policemar. comes around!’

‘Thief!’ cried Mrs. James; ‘no more thief than lam. Why, sure you wouldn't ever be so cruel! Oh dear! oh dear! spite goes a far length, There, take an’ kill me, do, and then you'll be essy in your mind, Ah, little my poor father thought as ever I should come down to letting lodg- ings, and being maltreated this way. I am——’

‘Who is a maltreating of ye? Why, you're dreaming. Have a drop o’ gin?’

‘With them as takesthe police to my lodger? It would choke me!’

‘Well have adrop, and we’ll see about it.’

‘You're very kind, ma'am, I’m sure. Heaven knows I need it! Here’s wishing you a good husband; and towards burying a)] unkindness.’

‘Which you means drounding of it.’

‘Ah, you’re never at loss fora word, ma'am, and always in good spirits. But your troublesis tocome. I'ma widdy. You will let me see what is the matter with my lodger, ma’am/?’

‘Why not? We'll go and have a look at him.’

Accordingly, the three women and the mite proceeded to the little room; Nancy turned the gas on, and then they inspected the imprizoned hand. Mrs. James screamed with dismay, and Nancy asked her dryly whether she was to blame for seizing @ hand which had committed a manifest trespass.

‘You have got the rest of his body,’ said she, but this here hand belongs to me.’

‘Lord, ma’am, what could he take out of your chimbley, without ‘twas 4 handful of soot? Do, pray, let me loose him.’

‘Not till I have said two words to him.’

‘But how can you? He isn’t here to speak to, only a morsel of him.’

‘I can go into your house and speak to him.’

Mrs. James demurred to that; but Nancy stood firm; Mrs. James yielded. Nancy whispered her myrmidons, and in a few

minutes was standing by the prisoner, a

reverend person in dark spectacles and a gray beard, that created commiseration, or would have done so, but that this stroke of iil-fortune has apparently fallen upon a great philosopher. He had contrived to get a seat under him, and was smoking a

mitting the use of titles of nobility or orders of knighthood, there is really no other way open to the authorities to signify their recognition of faithful service. Of late it has been complained that officers who had bravely served theirfcountry in Indian warfare received no ecknowledgment of their actions, however creditable, and the only remedy which could be browght to restore the old system. General Sheridan has expressed himself in favour of the bill that has been introduced in Congress for that purpose. It is, indeed, he says, asmalland cheap reward, by which to compensate a man who undergoes the dangers and hardships of frontier cam- paigns, but, if the honor be not abused as before, he thinks it will be appreciated in the army.. Of course, military men know where such honors are conferred for real desert and where not, and it is for the high army authorities to exercise vigilance against a return to ths old promiscuous dispensation of colonelcies and captaincies. With proper restrictions, the veteran com- mander advises its revival.

The diving for the remains of the Greek and Persian ships sunk in the great sea fight at Salamis, has caused a flutter in archeological circles. Little is known of the great galleys with their banks of oars of the ancient world. We have descriptions presented to us in the delightful gossip of Athenzus of two shins built by Ptolemy Philopater, and one built by Hiero, tyrant of Syracuse. But the description is wholly of the interior. We read of rooms in these ships with columns of Milesian cypress and capitals of gold and ivory, of marble statues of Venus, of purple hangings, and exquisite carvings, of gardeus with trees and plants, and all varieties of bathrooms. Une of these vessels had forty banks of oars, but it is difficult to form an idea of what they lcoked like from these descriptions.
