Pariicnla<rs oE a mutiny off the Andrew Lslajids on board the American trading soboooet 31aria, Captain Brown, Jiave been received at San Francisco. Captain Brown, Mate Hermann Hohlmswin, and a passenger were murdered tin cold blood by the crew and- Mre. Brown and her son nearly killed1 by blows from an axe. After killing- the capiaiu, mate, and the passenger late at night the schooner was rheJldled for the ,Ari>lrty.v Isliands., and Mrs. Brown and her boy were kept close prisoners, it being -the intention of ihe mutineers to put them ashore on an isolated ooral reef near Andrew Islands. Before the islands were reached the Chinese cooks, native sanlors, a.nd boatswain got to fighting among theinselve#, and knaves were drawn. Two half-breeds were killed instantly and another died of wounds received. All of the mutineers were wounded. Proviticvns gave out. and when cruising off the Andrew Islands 'the sohooner was manned solely by the boatswain, two Chinese, and half-breed. The eohooner was steered into port, a.nd the king of the islands gave the murdered* food1 enough to last them for several weeks. B&fore the vessel sailed again. how- ever, the kinq; became suspicious, boarded the oraf.t, rescued Mrs. Brown antl her boy, the former more dead than alive, and took the mutineers prisoners. The Spanish gun boar Vailaaci put in at. Andrew Islands and took the murderers to M&niila for trial.
ISLE OF WIGHT.
ISLE OF WIGHT. PROPOSED ELECTION OF PRIN- 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- cess Henry of Battenberg as her late husband's successor in the Governorship of the island. Such an appointment would be popular among all classes of the inhabitants. 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 Ca.pta.in or Governor cf the Isle of White has generally been g-åven by A" 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 should accept, the honour, it will not be the first time in the history of the island tha-b the government ha* been given to a lady. Between 1283 and 1293 lsa* bella de Fortiba6 reigntd over the Me of Wight as a feudal chief, after which she ceded her sovereignty of the island to the Crowu for about £ 60,0C0. The Princess Beatrice is al- ready president. o* c ladies' guild, which brings her Royal Highness in touch with all parts of the island, and her appointment, if only to hold the office in trust for her eldest son. Prince Alexander, until he is cf age, would fiive; unbounded satisfaction to the Queen's Isle of Wight subjects.

FIRING FROM A TRAIN. mLYSTEJMOUS INCIDENT iI'N A. PARIS STATION. A mysterious accident has occurred at one ot the Paris railway stations. Two trains wen passing each other at this point when the repor' of firearms was heard, and a bullet whizzed close to the ears of the ^tationmaster, who waa seated in his office, and buried itself in the wall. As the train had moved off no at-tempt could then be made to arrest the culprit, who WM evidently in one of ,the last carriages, but an investigation was immediately set on foot, a.nd 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 is believed) to have prompted the cowardly act.
LORD LEIGHTON'S PEERAGE.
LORD LEIGHTON'S PEERAGE. There ip reason to believe thai the patent creating the peerage of the lat" president of the Royal Academy, thogh dated January 24th, was not actually seled until fter his decese, on January 25. The grant of the barony Viae not gazetted till January 31, nearly a week later. If the patent had been scaled on January 24, an announcement would, under ordinary circumstances, have appeared iIJ the "Gazette" of that day. Apparently, therefore.

IFALSE EVIDENCE
'WI 'WI .u.a:o.a.&LW" e?-- FALSE EVIDENCE BY E. PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM. CHAPTER XLJI.—(Continued.) Why had I come at all! His daughter in my arms, yielding herself to my embrace, ana her lips to'my wild kiss! Oh, it was madness. I was a traitor. "I should not have come," I groaned, "but to bid you farevell. We sail for Egypt in thioe days. I struggled hard tlo keep away, but I could not." "Why cuiovild you wish to, Hugh? wluspered, burying her face 011 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. Never a thought of a miserabls exile dwellmg among«i a Mi-ange people^ iu deadly ptsril under a scorching sun, or of a her- mit sybarite with the blast of fame in his ears, and all the luxuries of wealth ready to his touch, and a black lie burning in ihis heart. Never a thought of any save of her! Weak traitor that; I was. What is there so maddeningly wweet as to lovo and be loved again! The world died away from me tttIld time ceased, whilst Maud, with her lovely fax* wet with tears, and happy with smiles, stood clasped in my arme on the wild open moor. The wind bowled around us, and the driving rain and mm beat in our faces, and the twilight deepened into darkness; but what did we care! 'Hie only light I looked for was the gleam in her soft eyes, and the only touch I felt waa 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 paB8 -over my face, and so i, with a woman's marvellous quickness IJhe di- vined what had caused it. But she clung the closer to me. "Hugh, is thi* to be the end of it? she cried. "Wheu you leave me, will you never come back V and I turned away with a great sob. "Oh, that you were another man s daughter, I Maud!" and sh<» was answered. Blaok clouds were driving across tno 8»*y> ^ncl ft black ok>ud aobtled upon my heart. Ine Via (Li rang in my oars. Never come back Never com* baok! Never come bade! A duk slia$e ertolo up to us, and stood by Î\ ? our side. Then there was a. glao neigh and a prolonged snort. The Black Prince had re- cognised me, and was rubbing hir, nose against my coat-sleeve. "I must go, Hugh!" Slowly I lifted her into the saddle, and stotad by her side in silence becauso I could not speak. "Hugh, kiss me once more!" She stooped down and hald a white, strained face close to mine. One clinginc kiss I pressed upon her quivering lips, and then I drew :udde. But as she lVxle 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 come back to me," and scarce knowing what I did I answered her passionately. HI will! I will We were together Ion H.M.S. Orontes, east- ward bound, her father and I, but though we sat opposite one another at the captain's table, we never spoke. Sometimes I caught him looking at me wistfully, and then I remembered that I had sxved his life. But I wanted no thanks for it, and from him 1 would receive none. "Queer lot those Derereux, heard one of my brother offices* remark, unconscious of my presence. "Uncle and nephew, and don't speak! Must be something wrong, I should think." "Looks like it. If the Colonel hadn't written that tremendoufsly clever book, I should tliink he was a bit cracked. "Might be further from the mark, 1 thvnK. The young 'un isn't such a bad; sort, only he's so confoundedly proud aiw« olose. Most un- sociable fellow we ever had in the regiment' "He's a bit of a prig, I must say, but I don't dislike him. Splendid family, you know, and rolling in money- By the bye." dropping lus voice a "wasn't there soiwtlung queer about one of 'em? This one's father, I believe?'' "Hush! Yes. I'll tell you all about it presently' and1 then tliey strolled up the de-rfc and I heard no more. Something* aueer aJXMit one of th«m! 1 turned away with the old pain at my heart. Would the aomethmg queer eVel' be made right 4 Yeti, and the time wap not far distant. -?.? J CHAPTER XLm. EXPIATION "W hether it was the stifling desert air or the anticipation of the morrow's battle, I oaanofc tell; but sleep for me was a thing impossible. Wo were cneamped on the outskirts of a mighty plain, and within an hour's march the Madhi lay entrenched awaiting our ataek. Outside my tent all was bustle and stir in prfpao-ation for the morrow's fight, aaia a yellow moon was shining with a grim ghostly light upon our white tents, and the figures moving silently about. I There were many other reasons why I should be re&tleas. We were within a. day's march, they could not be furtiher away, afid. j "I found him lying white and still." I they might be nearer, of my father and Burton L::ig,h. Every day ctame tidings of the two white men on whose heada the Mahdi had set an enormous price, and who lived in deadly peril for fear of the treachery of their wavering friends, and to-morrow their fate would be de- cided, for if the tribe of the Asarees eeosded to the false prophet and joined in the fight, then they were most surely doomed. But if, on the other band, they held aloof from, the fight, then would my father and Burton Leigh have succeeded in their daring mission, and would reach us in safety to be received as heroes. j A shadow dar&eued my teatj, and an orderly j Iffilfi lllllll llllllllmillf llllll mill lllllilillliiii '1 I, stood before me, saluting. "Colonel Devereux would like particularly to see you in his tent, sir." What could it mean! Neither word nor glance had passed between us since we left England' on board the same ship. I followed the man with beating heart. The vision of a man physically weak, who, after a, mortal struggle with some fiendish, sin, has cast it from him and come out to fight dying but trinmphant with a spiritual ioy; it seemed to me that this was what I saw when I stood face to face with my Uncle Kupart. Ghastly pale, but firm, with depp lines suddenly en- graven across his forehead, but with the light of a great, calm resolution ill 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 such a sickening desire had come. "Hugh," he said, quietly, "to-night is my last on earth. People may scoff at preseiiti- rr.Wits who never feel them. Like a still whisper from another world I have heard the truth. In to-morrow's fight I shall die!" I wculd have spoken, but it was impossible, The words stuck in my throat. "One word about this sin of mine, Hugh, be went on in a strange, calm tone. "It was [done kt a mad impulse of jealousy, in a moment of madness which a lifetime of misery has not expiated. Everyone knows that I haV3 beBii an unhappy ma-u- Success and fame have only been glow-worms leading me on into a marsh of discontent- With a guilty conscience I" no man on earth can be happy. He took up a roll of papers from a table by his side, and £ .uiiiin°ne<^ s.e^X?-n^; "Greasely, go to General Fielding s tent and tell him I am ready." I stood therest-ill in silence. My uncle sank into a low chair and naif covered his face. In lens than a minute the opening to the tent was lifted and our commander-in-chief, followed by a vounger officer, entered.. "Colonel T?ievefeux. he said, kindly but promptly, "m accordance with my promise I am here", ano I have brought Captain Luxton. I can spare you ifv€ n:lnuta^ v iv4L Like a gaunt spectre my uncle came oul, from the shades of the tent, and his had, weary tone moved even my pitv. "Three will be sufficient, he said.

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 fierce siiocco, the followers of the false prophei 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! AHa.h bursting from their lips. But thfc maddening enthusiasm of fanatical zeal had quickly burnt itself out. We had driven the-m behind their trenches, only to carry them at the point of the bayonet and drive them out into the assert. The victory was complete. With my broken sword t"tJl 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 Iving 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! Mv father, speak to me I cr ed. "Oh.

General Fielding had done all in his power. He had read my Uncle Rupert's confession, anid had formally srfescinded t-hie verdict of General Luxton. The black stain of dishonour no longer rested upon my father's name. But this greatest of joys had surely came too late; for the Viand which I held passionately clasped in. mine was growing colder nd colder every moment1, 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 siknoe of death. Sudidenly he re-opened his eyes, and a feeling of sickening agony stole over me, for there was a deeper film than ever upon them. He smiled very faintly a-nrl struggled to speak, but rthe words died alway on his lips. I bent closer still, and strove to catch his meaning.

Then he ea-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 a^ain within the park of Devereux. and in sight of the grand old mansi-on. 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 his country ringing with his name, and himself a hero. Our journey had been like a triumphal progress. 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 at every station, to gaze at us and shout a welcome and at the little way- side statical such crowds of the country folk were (gathered together thaot, progress along the narrow winding lane was almost an impossi- bility. And now we were at the last sweep of the drive, surrounded by lines of shouting tenants and, eervants, who stood uncovered as -?-- -?- we approached, and made the air vibrate with lusty Yorkshire ohrers. It was one of those days which a man may live to be a hundred years old, and never for- gft; and yet it would dwell in h.is mind less' by its actual events than bv 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 reniemiber a deep hush falling upon the assembled crowd as father and eon met after so many years—a hush- which lasted1 until they stood there. hand grasping hana, ana the first words were spoken-thpl1 it gave place to a ahout which seemed to shake the air. And I remember MaudV greeting—how could I ever forget it? Cold she was at first, cold but. kindi—after the manner of the day:- when I was Hugh Arbuthnot, a pre^i-ucuous hey. But when I told her my inter- view with her father the night before the battle, when I .) "1' mto my arms with words of passionate low and bade her re-call our last parting, then -he yielded and be?nme my Maud, aud mine she has been ever since. Had I told this story of mine PS a profer-sed etory-writer, theire are w""ny things now omitted which would in their proper place have been re-counted. I should have said mor-1 of Marian, the happiest of young wives, and of the joy with which she welcomed us home. I should have told of Lady Olive's brilliant mar- riage tQ the Earl cf and of Francis Deve- rcux's reformation and success at the Bar, and of Burton Leigh's extraordinary re-appearance in tlie world after having long been mourned as dead, and of my father's joy at meeting again his old compamion. There Are ot.her things, too, which should ha.e been told, but let them PGSS One more incident alone shall I relate. Again I stood in the grand old picture gal- lery of the Court, amorwt the shades of many ac-nerations of Devereux. We three wero I. there—Sir Francis, my father, ft-nd I: Sir Francis out of sight, my father and I bending over n curious piece 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 hie fixed gaze and the strarge 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 Inud voice: "It was a lie! It was a lie! 'i'hank God, Herbert, my son r Hugh, my boy. G\:>d bless you both. He sank back into my arms. And the moon- light, breaming in upon his face, showed itA ?- gentle and peaceful as a child's. Death strug- gle there was none. With a calm, satisfied smile of perfect happiness the life seemed to glide away from him, aDd with his Irist brsatii we beard him murmur s>w'tly— "Lord, now Jetcest T/iou Thy servant def part in peace—in peace." The End.
