BUT) CHAPTER IV.--(Continued.) At this moment Mrs. Hyde entered the room, her fair face alight with love. A servant carrying a tray full or good things to eat, followed her; and It was delightful to watch her eager happiness as she arranged meets, and sweetmeats, in tempting Order for the hungry young man. As k» ate, he talked to his father of ffeoee ttiings interesting to him. "Pray." asked Gen. Hyde, "what you tell me about the seat of government? Will New York be Chosen?" ••Upon my word, sir, the opinions 8K endless in number and variety; bvt, In truth, there is to be some sort Qf n compromise with the southern flwnators, who are promised the capi­ tal on the Potomac, finally, if they no longer oppose the assumption of the state debts." "Amd Joris, the ladies? What say Ifcey en the subject?" asked Mrs Hyda "Indeed, mother, some of them are lamenting, and some looking forward to the change. All are talking of the gocial disposition of the beautiful Mrs. Bingham. 'She will have to abate herself a little before Mrs. Washington,' I heard one lady say; while others declare that her asso­ ciation with our republican court will bo harmonious and advantageous; especially, as she is beloved in the home of the president." "Our republican court! The defi­ nition is absurd!" said Gen. Hyde, "court pre-supposes both royalty and nobility!" "We have both of them Intrinsic- •ny. father." "In faith, George! you will find, (bat Intrinsic qualities have no social value. What people require is their •sternal evidence. Now I am sleepy. I will talk to you more on these sub­ jects In the morning. Good night!" Be put his hand on his son's shoulder jmd looked with a proud confidence Into the bright face, lifted to the touch. Then George was alone with his notber; hcut she was full of little household affairs; and he could not bring into them a subject so close •nd so sacred to his heart. "I will •peak to my mother in the morining," be thought "To-night her mind is fid! of other things." But in the morning Mrs. Hyde was gtill more interested In "other filings." She had an architect with fcer, her servants were to ord%r, her bouse to look after. So he ate his breakfast rapidly, and went out to the •ev stables. He expected to find the general there, and he was not disap­ pointed. There was much to interest <bem; men were busy draining and building stone walls; plowing and •owing, and digging and planting. Yet, In the midst of all this busy Bfe, George detected in his father's •tanner an air of melancholy. Pres­ ently be asked, "How goes It with yt>w law books,, George?" "Faith, sir, 1 must confess, ve j in­ differently. I have no senses that war." •^Consider, George, that not only tills estate, but also the estate of your Grandfather Van Heemskirk must «rent*ally come to you. Much of both has been bought from confiscat­ ed properties, and it is not improb­ able that claimants may arise who wfll cause you trouble. How neces­ sary, then, that you should know something of the lavs afTecting land •lid property in this country." "My grandfather is in trouble. I fbrgot to tell you last night, that his friend. Elder Semple, Is dead." "Dead!" "Yea, sir." For a few minutes General Hyde I |4e watched his son's angry carriage, remained silent, then he said with ynucb feeling, "Peace to the old Tory! He was once very kind to me and Bty family. Who told you this news?" "1 was walking On Broadway with young McAllister and Doctor Moran ^topped us and sent word to Elder McAllister of the death of his friend." "Was Doctor Moran his physl- *an r "Yes, sir. I had the honor of spend- lag an evening at Doctor Moran's bouse this week; and If you will be- Djeve me, sir, be bas a daughter th«t Atmet every other beauty." "In love again, George?" "This time desperately and really, la love. It has come to this--I wish to Marry Miss Moran, and I never Wished to marry any other woman." "You have forgotten-- And by heaven! you must forget Miss Moran. She ts not to be thought of as a Wife--for one moment." "Sir, yoa are not so unjust as to •take such a statement without giv­ ing me a reason for It." "Giving you a reason! Look east, (Md west, and north, and south--all these rich lands were bought with you • Uncle William's money. He •jade himself poor to make me rich. Tell me now what child is left to 9ft»ur uncle?" "Only his daughter Annie, a girl of •" twrtaea or flftaaa year*." "Well, then, sir, what is you duty to Annie Hyde?" "I do r.ot conceive myself to have any special duty to Annie Hyde." "Upon my honor, you are then per­ versely stupid! When your uncle wrote .me that pitiful letter which In­ formed me of the death of his last son, my first thought was that his daughter must be assured her, right in the succession. There is one way to compass this. You know what that way is. Why do you not speak?" "Because^, sir, if I confess your evl- dentf opinion to be just, I bind myself to carry it out, because of Its justice." "Is it not just?" "It might be just to Annie and very unjust to me." "No, sir. Justice is a thing abso­ lute; It is not altered by circum­ stances. What are you going to do?" "I know not I must think--" "I am ashamed of you! ^In the name of all that is honorable, what is there to think about? Have I a son with so little proper feeling that he needs to think a moment when the case is between honor and himself?" "Sir, you are more cruel and un­ reasonable than I could believe pos­ sible." "The railings of a losing lover are not worth answering. A man mad in love has some title to my pity." "And, sir, if you were any other man but my father, I would say 'Con­ found your pity!' Our conversation is extremely unpleasant, and I desire to put an end to it Permit me to return to the house." "Let it be so. I will see you to­ morrow in town." He stood in the center of the road­ way watching his son's angry car­ riage and his rapid, uneven steps. "He is in a naked temper, without even civil disguise," he muttered, "and I hope that he will keep away from his mother in his present unrea­ son." His mother was, however, George's first desire. He did not believe she would .sanction his sacrifice to Annie Hyde. When he reached the house be found that his mother had gone to the pond to feed her swans, and he decided to ride a little out of his way in order to see her there. Upon the soft earth the hoofs of his horse were not audible, but when he came within her sight, it was wonderful to watch the transformation of her counte­ nance. A great love, a great Joy, swept away like a gust of wind, the peace on its surface, and a glowing, loving intelligence made her instant­ ly restless. She called him with sweet imperiousness, "George! Joris! Joris! My dear one!" and he an­ swered her with the one word ever near, and ever dear, to a woman's heart--"Mother!" "I thought you were with your father. Where have you left him?" "In the wilderness. There Is need for me to go to the city. My father will tell you why. I come only to see you--to kiss you--" "Joris, I see that you are angry. What has your father been saying to you?" "He will tell you." "Money, is it?" "It is not money. My father Is gen­ erous to me." "Then some woman it Is?" "Kiss me, mother. After all, there Is no woman like unto you." She drew close to him and he stooped his handsome face to hers and kissed her many times. Her smile comforted him, for It was full of confidence, as she said: "Trouble not yourself, Joris. At the last, your father sees through my eyes. Must you go? Well, then, the Best of Beings go with you!" She lifted her face again and George kissed It, and then rode rapid­ ly away. He hardly drew rein until be reach­ ed his grandfather's house. The ticking of the tall house-clock was the only sound he heard at first, but as he stood irresolute, a sweet, thin voice in an adjoining room began to sing a hymn. ' Grandmother! Grandmother! ! Grandmother!!!" he called, and be­ fore the last appeal was echoed the old lady appeared. "Oh, my Joris!" she cried, "Joris! Joria! I am so happy to see thee. But what, then, is the matter? Thy eyes are full of trouble." "I will tell you, grandmother." And he sat down by her side and went over the conversation he had had with his father. When he ceased speaking, she answered: "To sell thee, Joris, is a great shame, and for nothing to sell thee Is still worse. This Is what I think: Let half of the income from the earl­ dom go to the poor young fjady, but thyself into the bargain, l£ beyond all reason. And if with Cornelia Moran thou art In love, a gook thing It is: so I say." \ "Do you know, Cornelia, grand­ mother?" "Well, then, I have seen her; more than once. A great beauty I think her, and Doctor John has money-- plenty of money--and a very good family are the Morans. Now. then, thy grandfather is coming; thy trou­ ble tell to him. Good advice he will glvo thee." 8enator Van Heemskirk, however, went first Into his garden and gath­ ering great bandfuls of white nar- cisses and golden daffodils, he called a slave woman and bade her carry them to the Semple house and lay them in and around his friend's cof­ fin. With these prellmiraries neither Joris nor Lysbet interfered; but when he had lit his long pipe and seated himself comfortably in his chair, Lysbet said: "Where hast thou been all this afternoon?" "I have been sealing up my friend's desk and drawers until his sons ar­ rive. Very happy he looks. He is now one of those that know." "I wonder, Joris, if in the next life we shall know each other?" "My Lysbet in this life do we know each other?" "I think not Here bas com* our dear Joris full of trouble to thee, for his father has said such things as I could not have believed. Joris, tell thy grandfather what they are." And this time George, being very sure of hearty sympathy, told his tale with great feeling--perhaps even with a little anger. His grandfather listened patiently to the youth's im­ patience, but he did not answer ex­ actly to his expectations. "My Joris," he said, "so hard it i» to accept what goes against our wishes. If Cornelia Moran you had not met, would your father's desires bo so impossible to you? Noble and generous would they not seem--" "But I have seen Cornelia, and I love her." "In too great a hurry are you. Miss Moran may not love you. She may refuse ever to love you. Beside this, In his family her father may not wish you. A very proud man is Doctor John." "Faith, sir, I had no£ thought of myself as so very disa&reeable." "No. Vain and self-confident is a young man. See, then, how many tliiiigs may toork this way, that way, and if wise you are you will be quiet and wait for events. Now I shall just say a word or two on the other side. MEi CK ®ALENT TKR.0V7 •?'v, AWAY CHANCES IN LIFE She had ^one to feed her swans. If your father is so set in his mind about the Hydes, let him do the jus­ tice to them he wishes to do; but it Is not right that he should make you do it for him." 'He says that only I can give An­ nie justice." "But that is not good sense. When the present earl dies, and she is left an orphan, who shall prevent your father from adopting her as his own daughter, and leaving her a daugh­ ter's portion of the estate? In such case, she would be in exactly the same position as if her brother had lived and become earl. Is not that so?" (To be continued.) THIS HOLDS THE RECORD. Southern Men Tell of 8ome Wonder­ ful Railroad Traveling. A group of railroad men were talk­ ing about the fastest rides they ever experienced, says the New Orleans Times-Democrat One man In relat­ ing his experiences, said: "Across bayous and through marshes we rush­ ed like mad. When we reached the Rigolets the most remarkable think I ever saw took place. The train was traveling so fast it sucked the water up behind It as It rushed across the trestle, and I could hear the fishes groan as we flew over this neck of the gulf. Most remarkable thing I ever saw in the way of fast runs." And he lapsed into silence. "I am glad you reminded me of that run," said another member of the group. "I had forgotten the incident I can vouch for all you say, for I was on the back end of the last coach, and the water which was sucked in be­ hind the train by the vacuum almost washed me overboard, but I held on all right, and when we made the cross­ ing and the waters had receded, I picked up on the platform of the rear coach the finest bunch of fish I ever saw. They were no doubt the fish you heard groaning." CHAFING-DISH HABIT PAYS. Clever Woman Can Rob Husband of His Club Spirit The wife who receives a few of her husband's friends with some such re­ mark as "just in time for a rubber of whist and a rabbit" is cutting one of the links in that chain which binds her husband to his bachelor pleasures and his club. And if she knows how to concoct a rabbit without making a great how-de-do over it if she is deft, smiling and graceful, the men will pronounce her as changing as If she had Invited them to a state dinner, and nine chances out of ten, if they be bachelors, they will sigh and an­ nounce that "Jones is a lucky dog." It pays to cultivate the chafing-dish habit, if one wants to entertain sim­ ply, easily and often. There are so many Jolly little dishes to be evolved from a chafing dish that a small book devoted to the art is worth buying and using. Remember always that elabor­ ation in connection with a chafing dish is bad form. Two Points of View. "A friend of mine from up the state who came to the city for the first time the other day." said H. L. Preston, "was naturally amazed at the many strange sights he saw. After watch­ ing the crowds on Broadway and the surface and elevated cars for a time, he turned to me and asked: 'Where does the food come from to feed all these people?' "1 took his down In thfeprodqce sec­ tion and be walked for blocks where the sidewalks were covered with fruit vegetables, poultry and provis­ ions. Then he turned to me and de­ manded: Where in thunder do you find peopleyftx^eat all this stuff?"'-- New York^TimeSu Too Personal.

In the Latin Quarter of Paris a bohemian is a lin­ gerer by the way. Devoting himself to art or learning, he comes to prefer the pleasures of the journey to the triumph of arriving at his destination Again the bohemian's motto is: "Give me the luxuries of life, and I will do without the necessaries." In his search for life's luxuries at the ex­ pense of its necessaries the bohemian is capable of self-denial to the point of heroism. Talk of bohemlans! Here is the real thing. Being of a delightful Indi­ viduality, he makes the best compan­ ion in the world. Cultivated, witty, resourceful, he is continually asked to lunches and dinners. Every now and then he makes a cure. Between cures he makes touches. Take the painters. I know ftVe whose touch is as light as thistledown. Yet a painter, even a bohemian paint­ er, had something to sell now and then --the canvas he has painted with love and with fear or with tender patience. Yet there are those who have been, for long years, so well occupied in telling how a picture should be painted that they can count their finished works on their ten fingers. One such of my acquaintance, once a Rosicrucian, now a simple mystio, after passing eight months in pure idleness on credit, touches and all kinds of subterfuges, turned round and In four weeks produced such a glori­ ous picture in its coloring, so extraor­ dinary in conception and execution, that a rich collector offered him 4,000 francs for it In the Independent Salon. Unhappily he had sold it to a dealer for 200 francs the day before! The rich collector, having a con­ science about giving artists their dues, refused to treat with the dealer, and ordered the mystic to make him a du­ plicate in ^neral Idea and get-up. Now, was not the man's course plain before him? He had only to repaint that picture and get his $500--a sum which would have lasted him In com­ fort a full month! But he was a bo* • • ; V-'• were two poets, also bohemlans. One has the extremely peculiar faculty of being able to imitate other poets. Here is a man who has never yet produced anything of value as his own, and yet his spurious Verlaine poetry, for example, has at times out- soared the flights of Verlaine's own lovely muse. In the collected works of Verlaine it is said there are more than a dozen such. Once he sold to the Figaro a pretended unpublished "A spiritual consecration to out* im­ pressions." hemlan, worse, a bohemian of The Quarter. The painting had been called "The Thirst for Gold." It showed a crowd of men and women rushing furiously, climbing recklessly toward a point high, high up on the pinnacle of point­ ed rocks, from which the fascinating metal was seen shining. There was an idol, dazzling but Im­ passive, smiling at the human clus­ ters that clung to the pointed rocks. Blood from their wounds flowed to him, while the red and purple rays of a descending sun lit up the golden summit or merged into the black sha­ dow; and higher still a troop of sad archangels fled from the accursed earth. The bohemian got canvas and colors and accepted a part payment In ad­ vance. The months passed. There were other payments on account Then after two more months, he managed to turn out something so cross and so different, so unsympathetic to the rich collector, that he would not touch it "He seems to have at least freed himself from "The Thirst for Gold/ " I observed to the rich collector. "On the contrary," he answered, "I imagine that the thirst for what gold means to him defeated its own ob­ ject" What did it m^an to him--the ad­ vance money. In the months when he was spending it he made a lot of ex­ cursions to the country, with or with­ out his best girl, to begin an endless series of delightful studies, never fln- With empty pockets.

All the symbolists and decadents, when they flourished a few years ago, were thorough-paced bohemlans. Ste- phane X , one of its leaders, would descend at times to giving French and English lessons, but the means of live* llhood of most of them are shrouded In mystery. Stephane's specialty was to put more thoughts Into his verse than the mere words would hold. His poetry takes a deal of explanation. In­ deed, he won more reputation by his conversation than his poetry. Among these bohemian poets there are true ones, valued and praised by their comrades who have written nothing. They sit in cafes all day. They know how a poem should be written, and the telling of it fills them with such Joy that they have no mo­ tive left to write. They have aesthetic souls to keep. "Let us exalt our sentiments! Let us give a spiritual consecration to our Impressions!" Translated Into plain words this means: "We still have time for another. Waiter, hither!"--New York Sun. IN THE MAIL ORDER BA& Queer Specimen of Letter Writing Recently Received. Ordering merchandise by mall has become so popular that now all the large stores have departments devot­ ed exclusively, to that branch of the business. Queer specimens of letter writing are received, and it takes an expert to decipher some of the hiero­ glyphics. Once in a while the corre- spondents essay to be humorous. One of the largest department stores In New York received the following re­ quest from a man up state, who evi­ dently imagined that he was writing to the puzzle editor of a story paper: The department store man had no difficulty in making it out as: "Please mail me catalogues of cam* cents eras a^d closed. bicycles. STILL A HOPE LEFT. Old Lady Makes Unique Comment on Scriptural Chapter. The teaching of the gospel among the poor and lowly is sometimes at­ tended by unexpected results. One zealous young missionary to the tene­ ments makes the following confession: She had labored long and earnestly to instill a little Bible history into the understanding of one particularly ob­ durate old pagan woman, who prompt­ ly forgot the few lessons she learned. The difficulty of exciting her Interest seemed to be the principal one. Lit­ eral readings and paraphrases alike failed to reach her sympathies. Final­ ly one day the missionary put her whole heart and gift, of paraphrase Into a recital of the Passion. To her delight she saw that her listener was aroused at last and showed genuine emotion. The recital came to an end, and there was an impressive pause. The teacher waited for her pupil to speak first, and presently the silence was broken by the old woman, who re­ marked consolingly: "Ah, 'well, let us hope It ain't true."--New York Mail and Express. Ascent of the Alpik In the Alps, Mont Blanc, the high­ est, is tedious, but easy. Delicate women make it by hundreds without much danger. The lower Matterhorn, when conquered, took four lives.

Water Within Earth's Orbit The amount of water within the orbit of the earth is enormous, amount­ ing to 565.000,000,000.000 cubic yards.

In the manufacture of cannon the tendency is toward reduced weight of gun and projectile and increased muz­ zle velocity. This gives added range and penetration. The 1-65)1 liei oines of evei v day are in our homes. Frequently, horrw j#ver, ifc is a mistaken and useless heroism. Women seem to listen to every call of duty except the supreme cne that tells them to guard their health. How much harder the daily tasks beeoms when some derangement of the female organs makes every movement painful and keeps the nervous system unstrung f Irritability takes the place of happiness and amiability; and weakness tnd suffering takes the place of health and strength. As long as they can drag themselves around, women continue to woik and perform their household duties. They have been led to believe that suffering is neoessary because they are women. What a mistake! The use of Lydia E» Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will banish pain and restore happiness. Don't resort to strong stimulants or nar* cotics when this great strengthening, healing remedy for women J* always within reach. FREE MEDICAL ADVICE TO WOMEN.
