Mutiny at Sea. I CAPTAIN, MATE, AND A PAS- SENGETh MURDERED. Captain's Wife and Son Nearly Killed With an Axe and Mutineers Fight Savagely Among Themaelvea. Part-KTib-rs or, a mutiny off the Andrew tslandfi on board the American trading sAoonef Maria, Captain Brown, ihave been received at San Francisco. Captam Brown, Matt Hesrmann Hohlmann, and a, pa<jseng>er were murdered dn oold blocd by the crew and MTC. Brown and her son nearly killed1 by blows from. am axe. After killing the captain. marte, and the passenger lata at night the schooner was readied for the Aralr^w Isiand^, and Mrs. Brown and her boy were kept close prisoners, it being: the intention of the mutineers to put their" ashore on an isolated coral reef near Andrew Islands. Before the islands were reached the Chinese cooks, native sailors, and boatewain got to fighting among themselves, and knives were drawn. Two half-breeds were killed instantly and another* died of wounds received. All of the mutineers were wounded. Provisions prave out., and wheo cruising off the Andrew Islands the eohooner was manned! soleiy by the boatswain, two Chinese-, and a half-breed. The schooner was steered into port, and the king of the islands gave the murdered^ food enough to last them for several weeks. Before the vessel sailed again, how- lei ever, the king became suspicious, boarded the craft, rescued: Mrs. Brown and' her boy, the former more dead than alive, and took tke mutineers prisoners. The Spanish gunboat) VaJasci put in at Andrew Islands and took the murderers to Maniula for trial.

ISLE OF WIGHT. PROPOSED ELECTION OF PRIlf. CESS HENRY AS GOVERNOR. There is some talk in the Isle of Wight (says the Shanklin correspondent of the "Daily News") in favour of the appointment of Prin- ce-- Henry of Battenberg ag her late husbimd 8 successor in the Governorship of the island. Such an appointment would be popular among all classes of the inhabit ante. It has been an honorary position since the last of the Lords of the Isle, Sir Edward Woodville, who perished in the expedition against Louis XI. The position of Captain or Governor cf the Isle of White has generally been given by ihe Crown to a military officer of distinction, who governed for the Crown, and was responsible to the Crown. If the Princess Beatrice should be offered, and sihould accept, the honour, it will not be the first time in the history of the island than the government ha6 been given to a lady. Between 1283 and 12S3 Isa- bella de Fort Ibus reigned over the Irfe of Wight as a, feudal chief, after which she ceded her sovereignty of the island to the Crown for about £ 60,000. Tbe Princess Beatrice is al- ready president 07. a ladies' guild, which brings her Royal Highness in touch with all parta of the Island, and her appointment, if only to hold the office in trust for her eldest son, Prince Alexander, until he is of age, would give unbounded satisfaction to the Queen's Isle of Wight subjects.

FIRING FROM A TRAIN. MYSTERIOUS INCIDENT TN A. PARIS STATION. A mysterious accident has occurred at one of > the Paris railway stations. Two trains were passing each other at this point when the report of firearms was heard, and a bullet whizzed close to the ears of the stationmaster, who was seated in his office, and buried itself in the wall. As the train had moved off no attempt oould then be made to arrest the culprit, who waa evidently in one of the last carriages, but a.11.. investigation was immediately set on foot, and owing to information given by the em- ployes in the other train it is hoped that the author of this attempt on the life of the station- master will be detected. Revenge i- believed to have prompted the cowardly act. -?--?_

LORD LEIGHTON'S PEERAGE. There is reason to believe thai the patent creating the peerage of the late president of the Royal Academy, ithogh dated January 24th, was njot actually seled until fter his deoeee, on January 25. The granst. of the barony was not gazetted till January 31, 'nearly a week later. If the patent had been sealed on January 24, an announcement would, under ordinary circumstances, have appeared in-the "Gazette" of that day. Apparently, Uierefore Lord Leighton, although never actuary a. peer in his lifetime, haw been created a peer since hip. decease as from January 24, the day pre- ceding his death.

FALSE EVIDENCE BY E. PHILLIPS OPPENHE [M. CHAPTER XIJI.—(Continued.) f Why had I come at all! His daughter in my arms, yielding herself to my embrace, ana her lips to my wild kisfi! Oh, it was madness. I was a traitor. "I should not have come," I groaned, "but to bid you farewell. We sa.il for Lgypt in thice days. I struggled hard tlo keep away, but I could not." "Wby ahovfld you wish -to, Hi»gh?" ohe wliispered, burying her face on my shoulder. "Do you hate me so much?" "Hate you!" I drew her unresistingly into my arms again, and again my traitorous lips touched hers.

The world died away from me iand time coased, whilst Maud, with her lovely face wet with tears, and happy with smiles, stood clasped in my arms on the wild open moor. The wind howled around us, and the driving rain and mist beat in our faces, and the twilight deepened into darkness; but what did we care The only light I looked for was the gleam in her aoft eyes, and the only touch I felt was the beating of her heart against mine. But the time came when memory swept again into my mind, and I trembled. She saw the change pass over my face, and with a woman's marvellous quickness she di- vined what had caused it. But she clung the closer to inc. "Hugh, is this to be the end of it. ene cried. "When you leave me, will yon never come back?" and I turned away with a great sob.

The Black Prince had re- cognised me, and was rubbing his nose against my coat-sleeve. "I must go, Hugh!" Slowly I lifted her into the saddle, and stood by her side in silence because I could not speak. "Hugh, kiss me once more!" She stooped down and held a white, strained face close to mine. One clinging kiss I p.esseu upon her quivering lips, and then I drew iwide. But as she flode away into the darkness, she called to me a wild sobbing cry which the wind dashed into my ears. "Come back to me, Hugh, my love. You will oome back to me," and scarce knowing what I did I answered hor passionately. "I will! I will V' We were together Ion H.M.S.

CHAPTER XLIII. EXPIATION W hether it was the stifling desert air or the anit'.cvpation of the. morrow's battle, I cannot tell; but, sleep for me was a tiling impossible. We were encamped OlD the outskirts of a mighty plain, and within an hour's march 1 the Madhi lay entrenched awaiting our atack. Outside my tent all was bustle and stir in 1 preparation for the morrow's fight, ajia a 1 jdlow moon was shining with a grim ghostly light upon our white tents, and the figures moving silently about. There were many other reasons why I should be restless. We were within a day's march, they could not be furtiher away, and "I found him lying white and still."

they might be nearer, of my father and Burton Li-igh. Every day came tidings of the two white men on whose heads the Mahdi had set au enonnoxis price, end who lived in deadly I peril for fear of the treacdiery of their wavering friends, and to-morrow their fate would be de- cided, for if the tribe of the Asarees receded to the false prophet and jour.id in the fight, then they were most surely doomed. But if, on the ether hand, they held aloof from the fight, then would my father and Burton Leigh have' succeeded in thsir daring mission, and would reach us in safety to be received as ■heroes.

"Colonel Devereux would like particularly to see you in his tent, sir." What could it mean! Neither word nor glance had' passed between us smce we left England' on board the same ship. I followed the man with beating heart. Tha vision of a man physically weak, who, after a mortal struggle with some fiendish sin, has cast it from him. and oome out to fight dying but triumphant with a spiritual joy; it seemed to me that this was wha.t I saw when I stood face to fa,oo with my Uncle Rupart. (xhastly pale, but firm, wit.h deep lines suddenly en- graven across his forehead, but with the light of a grea.t, calm resolution in his eyes, he stood before me, and I trembled, for strong and clear the conviction of the truth flashed upon me. The day for which I had longed with suoh a sickening desire had come. "Hugh," he said, quietly, '"to-night is my last on earth. People may scoff at preseiui- mttits who never feel them. Like a still whisper from another world I have heard the truth. In to-morrow's fight I shall dip!" I would have spoken, but. it was impossible. The words stuck in my throat. # "One word about this sin of mine, Hugh," ha vent on in a strange, calm tone. "It. was don æ a mad impulse of jealousy, in a ?? rcoiremt of madness which a lifetime of misery has not expiated. Everyone knows that J. hava been an unhappy man. Success and fame have only been glow-worms leading me en into a marsh of discontent. "71th a guilty conscience no man on earth can be happy! He took up a roll df papers from a table by his side, and summoned his servant. "Gmisply, go to General Yieldings tent and tell him I am ready.' I stood there still in snence. Mv u^le sank into a low chair and half covered his face In le?s than a minute the openmg to the tent was lifted and our commander-in-chief, followed lifted and our commander-in-chief, followed bv a younger officer, entered.. '"Colonel Pftevereux. h* said, kindly but promptly, "in accordance with my promise I I am here, and I have brought Captain Luxton. I can spare vou five minute*. Like a gaunt spectre my uncle came out from I' the shades of the tent, and his gad, weary tone moved even my pity. f "Three will be sufficient, he said.

General Fielding and Captain Luxton immediately followed suit, and the former took possession of the document. "General Fielding, my uncle continued, with a voice that commenced to shake a jittle, "I am already vour debtor, inasmuch as you permit1 me to retain my commission until after to-morrow's fight. But I ask you still another fa, onr. 1 he general bowed, and then there was a decided gleam of compassion in his stern face. "Let this matter be cltared up immediaieiy after to-morrow's fight. If my brother be found alive, which God grant that lie may. let my confession be read in open court-martial, ho\. ever informal, at mice, he pleaded. "It shall be done. Lnxton, we must be oft. Gentlemen, good-night. We were alone, my unole and I. His un- natural calm seemed to be breaking up, a.d the look of agony on his face filled me wit.h compassion—aye, compassion even towards compassion—aye, compassion even towards him. „ T "There is something «t:ll troubling you,^ I said, quietly. "You are thinking of Maud. He looked at me wildly. I knew that I was right.. "Maud's future will be in my hands," I told him in a low tone. "She loves me, and she ? will be. mv wife." At first he seemed dazed, then, as he began to realise tny words. great sob of relief shook him from head to foot. k "And Francis." I jMMed. after a Bhoct pause, "I will remember tha.t he is my cousin—and uty brother." He stood up like one who has passed through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, yet with a look almost of peaee upon his spiritualised face. Hugh, will you take my hand?'' I took it, wrung it warmly, and left him. What more could I have done? He was better alone. Like the sands of the desert before a ieroe sirooco, the followers of the false prophet were flying far and wide It had been a fierce fight. They had come down upon us like a whirlw nd, with their lances gleaming like silver -in the sunlight, and wild cries of "Allah! Allah bursting from their lips. But the. maddening enthusiasm of fanatical zeal had quickly burnt itself out. We had driven them behind their trenches, only to carry them at the point of the bayonet and drive them out into the desert. The victory was complete. With my broken sword st-ll in my hand, and my face streaming with blood and perspiration, I kneeled with wildly beating heart by the side of my father's prostrate body. For I had found him lying white and still at the bottom of one of the trenches, and—oh the horror of it! —with a great gaping wound in his side. "My father! My fatlier, speak to me!" I cried. "Oh. God! If this should be death He opened his eyes slowly, and, dimmed though thev were, he recognised me at once. "Hugh. Hugh, my boy. Thank God!" he faltered out. "You are wounded," I sobbed. "Are you in pain? Tell me, father." A spasm of agony pawed over his faoe, but he answered me in a while. "My side—a spear-head. 'Twill soon be over." I passed mv arm around him, and gazed into his face with streaming eyes. "Father, you must l'ive," I sobbed. Rupert Devereux has confessed. All is known He nodded, and smiled faintly. "I know, Hugh. He wae first over the trenches. Thev were murdering me. He fought like a dpvil. There they lie-five of them. Hp saved my life, and crawled here as he was dyirur-told me—everything. I for- gave him. See." I looked' around, and there, scarcely a yard away, lay my Uncle Rupert, with a calm peace in his white faoe. turned to heaven, which in life he had' never known. A strange scene. General Fielding, with a little crowd of officers around him at one end of the tent, and a little distance away my I father lying on a stretcher, with a surgeon on one side strivioj: to etanoh the blood wriich -?-?? flowed from that hideoun, gaping wound, minis': on the other I knelt his hands, and anxiously watching his face. General Fielding had done all in his power. He had read my Uncle Rupert's confession, and had formally Rescinded tlite verdlict "f General Luxton. The black stain of dishonour no longer rested upon my father s name. But this greatest of joys had surely tame too late; for the hand which I held passionately clasped in. mine was growing colder ptid colder every momen t, and the surgeon s face was very grave. "Is there hope?" I faltered out But the doctor shook his head. "Very little, I fear," he whispered. "I am expecting hemorrhage every moment.' A deep silence reigned in the tent, a silence which seemed ominously like the silence of death. Suddenly he re-opened his eyes, and a feeling of sickening agony stole over Tn"). for there was a deeper film than ever upon them. He smiled very faintly and struggled to speak, but 'the words died away on his lips. I bent closer still, and strove to catch his meaning. "Hugh—my—s The fingers of his right hand were moving nervously about, and I knew what he meant. "General Fielding," I said, etandkng up, with hot burning eyes, and with a choking in my throat, "he wants his sword." The General stepped forward, and, un- sheathing his own, held it by the blade, and my father's long fingers, trembling with eagerness, wound themselves around it. Then he e&nk back with a little satisfied gasp, and I knew that he was at rest. CHAPTER XLIV. "HERO." I had kept my vow, for though I was again within the park of Devereux, and in sight of the grand old mansion, my father was by my side. A splendid constitution had saved him from the very jaws of death, and he had re- covered to find hi.s country ringing with hia name, and himself a hero. Our journey had been like a triumphal proeress. Distinguished men, amongst whom old General Luxton. had met us at London to welcome my father back to his country, and all the way down we had been besieged by newspaper reporters, and little knots of people were gathered on the platform a,t every station, to g^ze at us and shout a welcome; and at the little way- side station such crowds of the country folk were gathered together that progress along the narrow winding lane was almost an impossi- bility. And n.ow we were at the last sweep of the drive, surrounded by lines of shouting tenants audi eeirvamte. who etood uncovered as -=.?-?-=- we approacheo", and made the air vibrate with lusty Yorkshire cheers. It was one of those days which a man may live to be a hundred years old, and never for- gpt; and' yet it would dwell in his mind less by ite actual events than by the effect which it left. I remember a noble-looking, grey-haired old man standing out in the sunlight with out- stretched hands and a great joy in his face, and I remember a deep liush falling upon the assembled crowd as father and eon met after so many years—a hush which lasted until they stood there, hand grasping hand, and the first words wera spoken—then it gave place to a. shout which seemed1 to shake the air. And I remember Maud's greeting—how could- I ever forget it? Cold1 she was a.t first, cold but kind^—after the manner of the days when T was Hugh Arbuthnot, a presumptuous boy. But when I told her of my inter- view with her father on the night before the Iwvttles when I took her into my arms with words of passionate love and bade her re-call our last parting, theu she yielded and be?ame my Maud, and mine ehe has been ever sn.ee. Had I told this story of mine as a professed ftorv-writer, theire are many things now omitted which would in their proper place have been re-counted. I should have said nuwv of Marian, the happiest of young wives, and of the joy with which she welcomed iw home. I should have told of Lady Olive's brilliant mar- riage to the Earl cf and of Francis Deve- KUX'S refcrmation and SUOEWS at tlie Bar, and of Burton Leigh's extraordinary re-appearance in the world after having long been mourned as dead, and of my father's joy at meeting again his old companion. There are other things, too, which should have been told, but let them P&f'S One more incident alone shall I relate. Again I stood in the grand old picture gal- lery of the Court, amonp^t the sshodes of many gc-nerations of Devereux. We three were there—Sir Flra,ncia, my fnfther, Mid 1: Sir Francis out of sight, my father and I bending over a curious pimce of armour. Suddenly we both looked up. Out. of the dark shades of the lower end of the chamber my grandfather was coming towards us, walk- ing steadily down between the long rows of pictures, with measured military tramp and head thrown back. But we could see by his I fixed gaze aId the srtrarge rapt look on his face that something was wrong, and almost simul- taneously we sprang forward to him. We were just in time. Suddenly he threw up his arms over his head, and cried out with a. lnud voice: "It was a lie! It was a lie! Thank God, Herbert, my son 1 Hugh, my boy. Gtod bless you both." He sank back into my arms. And the moon- Gtod bless you both." He sank back into my arms. And the moon- light, streaming in upon his face, 6howed it( gentle and peaceful as a child's. Death strug- gle there was none. With a calm, tatisfie<J smile of perfect happiness the life seemed to glide away from him, aDd with his last breath we beard him murmur snftly— "Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant de- part in peace—in peaoe." The End.
