r'V, \ lit ii-en THE MAID af MAIDEN LANE fiaqw"' to " The Bow ol Orange Ribbon." A COVE STORY BY AfflEMA C. BARB (Copyright. 1900, by Amelia E. B»rr) £ $ k - . A M: I'i: CHAPTER XV--Continued. "Your own way you will take, "ntlJ tllto some great trouble you stumble. '•And then my own way I shall take, until out of it I stumble." "I have told Rem what he must do. Like a man he must say. *1 did wrong and 1 am sorry for it,' and so well I think of those he has wronged, as to be sure they vill answer, 'It is for­ given,' "And forgotten." "That is different. To forgive freely ? v. >. Is what we owe to our enemy; to for- ! Ret not, is what we owe to ourselves." "I think it is cruel, father, to ask Rem to 8peak truth to his own injury,. Even the law is kinder than y°W> asks no man to accuse himself." "Right wrongs no wan. Till others move in this matter, you be quiet. If you talk, evil words will you say : and mind this, Arenta, the evil that comes out of your lips, into your own bosom will fall. All my life I have seen this." But Arenta could not be quiet. She would sow thorns, though she had to walk unshod; atd her father's advice moved her no more than a breath moves a mountain. In the same after­ noon she saw Madame Jacobus going to Doctor Moran's, and the hour she remained there, was full of misery to her impetuous self-adoring heart. She was sure they were talking of Rem and herself; and as she had all their conversation to imagine, she came to conclusions in accord with her sus­ picions. But she met her aunt at the door and brought her eagerly into the par­ lor. She had no visitors that day, and was bored and restless and longing for conversation. "I saw you go to the Doctor's an hour ago, aunt," she said. "I hope the Captain is well." ;j ft. "Jacobus is quiie well, thjank God ^ Doctor M jran--and Cornelia. I ^ have been looking at some of her wed- l i ding gowrs. A girl so happy, and J-who deserves to be so happy, I never ; saw. What a darling she is!" !;# "It is "now the fashion to rave about her. I suppose they found time enough to abuse poor Rem. And you could listen to them! I would not have done so! No! not If listening had meant salvation for the whole Moran family," "Y ju are a remarkably foolish young woman. They never named Rem. People so happy do not remem­ ber the bringer of sorrow. He has been shut out--in the darkness and cold. I am ashamed of Rem. I can never forfgive him. He is a disgrace to the family. And that is why I came here to-day. I wish you to make Rem understand that he must not come near his Uncle Jacobus. When Jacobus is angry he will call heaven and earth and hell to help him speak his mind, and I have nearly cured him of a habit which is so distressing to me, and such a great wrorg to his own soul. The very sight of Rem would break every barrier down, and let a flood of words loose, that would make him suffer afterward. I will not have Jacobus led into such temptation. I have not heard an oath from him in six months." "I suppose you would never forgive Jacobus, if you did hear one?" "That is another matter. I hope I have a heart to forgive whatever Ja­ cobus does, or says--he is my hus­ band." "It is then less wicked to blaspheme Almighty God than to keep one of Lord Hyde's love letters. One fault may be forgiven, the other is unpardonable. Dear me! how religiously ignorant I am." "You look extremely handsome when yon are scornful, Arenta; but it is not worth while wasting your charms on me. I am doing what I can to help Jacobus to keep his tongue clean, and I will not have Rem lead him into temptation. As for Rem, he is guilty of a great wrong, and he must now do what his father told him P-'i' "Right wrongs no man." to do--wofk day and night, as me* work, when a bridge is broken down Tho ruin must be got out of the way and the bridge rebuilt, then it will be possible to open some pleasant and profitable traffic with human beings agaiu--not to speak of heaven." "YW are right--not to speak of heaven. I think heaven would be more charitable. Rem will not trouble Captain Jacobus. For my part I think a t'.an that cannot bear temptation ,'s very poorly reformed. If my uncle could see Rem, and yet keep his big and little oaths, under bonds, I should believe in his clean tongue." "Arenta, you are tormenting your- aelf with anger and ill-will, and abov? all with jealousy. In tljis way you ai goic ii to miss a great deal of pleasur* I M Vise you not to quarrel with Coi - Bella. She will be a great resource. Thin afternoon something is vexing you. t shall take no offense. You will Tllttt your bad temper to-morrow." "'To-morrow Arenta did regret; but ^people do not always say they aftt aorry, when they feel so. She sat In the shadow of her window curtains and watched almost constant streams of visitors, and messengers, . and tradespeople at Doctor Moran's house, and she longed to have her hands among the lovely things and to give her opinion about the delightful events sure to make the next few \$geks full of interest and pleasure. And after she had received a letter from Rem, sne resolved to humble herself that she might be exalted. "Rem is already fortunate, and I can't help him by fighting his battle. Forgetfulness is the word. For this wrong can have no victory, and to be forgotten is the only hope for it. Be­ side Cornelia had her full share in my happiness, and I will not let myself be defrauded of my share In. her happi­ ness^--not for a few words--nol cer­ tainly not." This reflection a few times reiter­ ated resulted in the following note: "My Dear Cornelia--I want to say so much, that I cannot say anything but--forgive me. I am shaken to p'eces by my dreadful sufferings and sometimes 1 do not know what I say, even to those I love. Blame my sad fortune for my bad words, and tell me you long to forgive me, as I long to be forgiven. "Your "ARENTA.** "That will be sufficient," she re­ flected, "and, after all, Cornelia is a sweet girl. I am her first and dearest friend, and I am determined to keep my place. Well, then, if I lSave to eat humble pie, 'I have had my say, and that takes the bitter taste out of my mouth--and a sensible woman must look to her future. I dare warrant Cornelia is now answering my letter. I dare -^Tarrant she will forgive me very sweetly." She spent half an hour In such re­ flections, and then Cornelia entered with a smiling face. She would not permit Arenta to say another word of regret; she stifled all her self- reproaches in an embrace, and she took her back with her to her own home. And no further repentance em­ barrassed Arenta. She put her ready wit and her clever hands to a score of belated things, and snubbed and con­ tradicted the Van Dien and Sherman girls into a respectful obedience to her earlier friendship, and wider experi­ ence. Everything that she directed or took charge of, went - with an unmis­ takable vigor to completion, and even Madame Van Heemskirk was delight­ ed with her ability and grateful for her assistance. "The poor Arenta!" she said to Mrs. Moran; "very helpful she is to us, and for her brother's fault she is not to blame. Wrong it would be to visit it on hfer." And Arenta not only felt this gra­ cious justice, for, herself, she locked much further forward, for she said to her father, "It is really for Rem's sake I am so obliging. By and by people will say 'there is no truth in that letter story. The Marquise Is the friend of Lady Hyde; they are like clasped hands, and that could not be so, if Rem Van Ariens had done such a dreadful thing. It is all nonsense.' And if I hear a word about it, I shall know how to smile, and lift my should­ ers and kill suspicion with contempt. Yes, for Rem's sake I have done the best thing." So happily the time went on, tfyat it appeared wonderful when Christmas was close at hand. Every preparation was then complete. It was a very Joy to go into the Moran house. The mother, with a happy light upon her face, went to and fro with that habit­ ual serenity, which kept the temperar ture of expectant pleasure at a degree not too exhausting for continuance, and Cornelia, knowing her lover was every day coming nearer and nearer, was just as happy as a girl loving and well beloved ought to be. Her beauty had increased wonder­ fully; hope had more than renewed her youth, and confident love had given to her face and form a splendor of color and expression, that captivat­ ed everybody; though why, or how, they never asked--she charmed, be­ cause she charmed. One day the little bevy of feminine councillors looked at their work, and pronounced all beautiful, and all fin­ ished, and then there was a lull in the bu.?y household, and then every one was conscious of being a little weary, and every one also felt that it would be well to let heart, and brain, and fingers and feet rest. In a few days there would likely be another English letter, and they could then form some idea as to when Lord Hyde would ar­ rive. The last letter received from him had been written in London, and the ship in which he was to sail, was taking on her cargo, while he lm patiently waited at his hotel for hotlce of her being ready to lift her anchor. The doctor thought it highly probable Hyde would follow this letter in a week or perhaps less. During this restful interval Doctor and Mrs. Moran drove out one after­ noon to Hyde Manor House. A mes­ sage from Madame Van Heemskirk asked this favor fronythem; she wish­ ed naturally that the^should see bow exquisitely beautiful and comfortable was the home which her Joris had trusted her to prepare for his bride. But she did not wish Cornelia to see it until the bridegroom himself took her across its threshold. "An old wou.an'6 fancy it is," she said to Mrs. Moran, "but no harm is there in It, and not much do I like women who bustle about their houses, and have no fancies at all." "Nor I," answered Mrs. Moran with a t* jrry little laugh. "Do you know, thAi I told John to buy my wedding ring too wide, because I often heard my 'uother say that a tight wedding ring *as unlucky." Then both women smiled, and began delightedly to look over together the stores of fine linen and damask, which the mother of ' Joris had laid up for her son's us*. It was a charming visit and the sweet paufee In the vivid life of the Si past few weeks was equally charming to Cornelia. She rested In her room till the short daylight ended; then she went to tne parlor and drank a cup of tea, and closed the curtains and sat down by tho hearth to wait for her father and mother. So still was the house, so still was the little street, that she easily went to the land of reverie and lost herself there. She thought over again all her life with her lover; recalled his sweet spirit, his loyal affection, his hand­ some face and enchanting manner. "Heaven has made me so fortunate," she thought, "and now my fortune has arrived at my wishes. Even his delay is sweet. I desire to think of him, until all other thoughts are forgotten! Oh, what lover could be loved as I love him!" Then with a soft but quick* move­ ment the door flew open, she lifted her eyes, to fill them with love's very image and vesture, and with a cry of joy flew to meet the "bliss so long afar, j but now so near, "d lovely and be­ loved! O my love!" Hyde cried, ftnd then there was a twofold silence; the very ecstasy that no mortal words can utter. The sacred hour for which all i * •• «n»- 1 m*. ; fi YOVNG GIRL RESCUED FROM LIFE OF ^ BONDAGE ON A SOUTH DAKOTA FARM m The door flew open. their lives had longed, was at last dropped down to them from heaven. Between their kisses they spoke ol things remembered and of things to be, leaning to each other in visible sweetness, while "Lore breathed In sighs and silences Through two blent souls, one rspturonf undersong." (The End.) PRICES IN -THE WIFE MARKET Rates Run From a Pair of Shoes Up to Twenty Oxen. In Europe, says a foreign explorer, it is customary for parents to give dowries to their daughters when they marry, but in uncivilized countries quite1 a different custom prevails. In Uganda a man can buy a hand­ some wife for four bulls, a box of cart­ ridges and six needles, and if he has the luck to go a-wooing when woman happens to be a drug in the market he can buy a suitable damsel for a pair of shoes. A Kaffir girl is worth, according to the r&nk of her family, from four tc ten cows. In Tartary, no father will surrendet his daughter unless he gets a goodly quantity of butter in return, and in certain parts of India no girl can marry until her father has been paci­ fied by a present of rice and a few rupees. Twenty oxen is the regular pride for a wife among the Mishimis, but a poor man has more than once suc­ ceeded in obtaining a bride on pay­ ment of one pig. At Timor no girl will think of mar­ rying a man not provided with a cer tain number of elephants' tusks, and at Unyoro any desirable but impecu nious suitor may purchase his wife on credit, but will not be allowed tc enjoy her company until he has paid the uttermost farming. Among many tribes of Africa and Asia it is customary for a suitor to work as a hired man for his future father-in-law in the same manner at Jacob worked for Laban. A certait value is set on the girl whom he so lects as his wife, and when his wagei amount to that much he gets her, and not before. A man who falls in love with a na tive girl of the Manzoni territory fares better, for all he need pay for her li two deer skins. HE FOOLED ALL FRANCE. eRMHfiM LOUISt L CHURNIW6 A 17-year-old white slave girl ar­ rived In Chicago last week. A twentieth century underground rail­ way helped the child Blave to escape from a life of bondage in South Da­ kota. Louise Ilaby, the girl who at last has found freedom, was clad in the rough garments of a farm laborer and showed the simplicity of a Georgia "cracker" when she arrived in Chi­ cago. A single garment of one piece covered her entire body. On her head was a broad-brimmed titraw hat and on her feet were the heavy brogans of a laborer. John Mayer, an uncle of the girl, living in Chicago, is the one who ac­ complished her deliverance. His wife is a sister to the girl's mother. Two months ago the girl heard of the ex­ istence of the two relatives in Chi­ cago. Surreptitiously she wrote a letter and contrived to slip it into the hands t>f a neighboring ranchman going to­ ward the postoffice. She had been bound to a family which owned a ranch near Highmore, S. D., for fifteen years. She had known no other parents or other life except what she gleaned from stray papers, as her father had sold her and disappeared when she was two years old. He is now believed to be in South America, but after he re­ ceived $25, the price for which his two-year-old daughter was sold, he paid no further attention to his child. The Chicago relatives of the girl were astounded to hear of her ex­ istence. The money for her deliver­ ance was quickly secured and for­ warded to a neighbor of the ranch­ ers. For a distance of ten miles from the ranch where the girl lived men came to assist in her escape. Considering her privations, the girl is unusually intelligent. "All except two years of my life have been years of cruel treatment and hard work," said the girl. "From the time I was lyge enough I was made to do the work of a man. Every morning at 5 o'clock I was called to ADMIT* TWENTY-ONE MURDER8. Impostor Made Paris Believe He <Wa« Ambassador From Persia. Toward the end of the year 1714 a certain Mehemet Rizabecq, who called himself ambassador of the king ol Persia, and the bearer of his com­ mands, disembarked at Marseilles. He was received at two leagues from Paris by the Baron de Breteuil, ushei of ambassadors, and the Marshal de Matignon. On the 24th of January, 1715, he made his solemn entry Into the capital, with great pomp. He declined the royal carriage gen­ erally used on such occasions, and entered on horseback, preceded by the finest horses of the king's stables, superbly caparisoned and accompan­ ied by trumpets and bands of music. The ambassador, richly arrayed In the Persian costume, was attended by a numerous train of domestics, and preceded by a herald bearing the Per sian standard. The presents whlcb he offered to the king were very In­ considerable.' After passing a short time is France, during which he concluded, It the name of his pretended master, a treaty of alliance with Louis XIV, he sailed from Sweden and Denmark and was never heard of later. Rizabecq, according to the "Memoire of the Reign of Louis XIV," was J Portuguese who had never seen the prince he represented, nor even visited a single province of Persia. The gov­ ernment paid the expense^ of his ex­ cellency, which amounted to 1,001 livres a day!--Mirror. Negro Hanged at Birmingham Jokes Over Bloody Record. WJJ1 Jones and Will Hudson, ne­ groes, were hanged in the jail yard at Birmingham, Ala., last week for high­ way robbery. Hudson went upon the gallows smoking a cigar. He made a - state­ ment on the gallows acknowledging that some months since he shot a po­ liceman's helmet off in Birmingham trying to kill him. He laughed and joked on the gallows. Just before leaving his cell he stated that he was born in Mexico, Mo., and that he1 had killed twenty-one men in his life. He said he had traveled all over the United States, mostly in the North. On the gallows, whW asked to tell of his murders, he replied that he would tell that to his Master. work. My first duty was to bring In the cattle, which every night strayed three or four miles across the prairie from the ranch. Morning and evening for years I have milked eight of the cows. Every day there was the churn­ ing and the preparing of the butter for market. "It was my duty to wash up the cans after the milking before starting to as­ sist with the regular work on the ranch. I worked with the men in the fields and rode with the boys across tfie prairies. I can pitch hay with the best of them or break a horse for rid­ ing or driving. Butlers Make Much Money. Some surprise was expressed re­ cently in England when Lord Ravens- court's butler died, leaving an estate valued at $150,000, but investigation shows that this is by no means a uni­ que case. Men in his position re­ ceive good salaries, and speaking roughly a good butler may count on twice hfs salary In tips. A London weekly speaks of a conservative M. P. (name not given) who in years gone by was Lord Salisbury's butler. The money he saved was invested in a hotel, which he conducted successfully for fifteen years and then sold at an enormous profit. No inconsiderable portion of a butler's income is the com­ missions paid by tradesmen. On Tou^ of State Capitals. Jean A. Crone, a newspaper man of Augusta, Me., who is to visit every state capital in the United States, covering a distance of over 21,000 miles inside of three years and six months, has already covered 2,194 miles since April 1. He says he is making the journey on a wager of $5,000 and is walking the entire dis­ tance, pushing a wheelbarrow-shaped contrivance which he calls a troly ette,. which contains his clothing, sleeping tent, food, etc. ft i Wise Old Chap.

Clay's physical strength was gigantic. He was accustomed to the use of weapons, and he was always cool and never lost his judgment.

In 1848, being then 20 years old, he was one of 100 adventurers who banded together, bought a sail­ ing vessel and on Feb. 4 of the next year sailed from New York for Cali­ fornia. They were seven months on the way, finally sailing up the river to Sacramento, where the boat was used as a home by its owners for some time. For a year or so he en­ gaged in mining, but then went Into manufacturing, continuing until he be­ came well off. Of the 100 who sailed on that expedition only three are now alive.' ' "This summer 1 dug a- twenty-foot well and no one else touched pick or shovel to it. Every evening in the winter I pumped enough water for six­ ty cows during the following day. At that time I wore felt boots and a man's reefer and cap to protect me from the biting wind yrhich swept over the prairie. "In ail these years my only rest was during a few hours on Sunday after­ noons. Then I was able to read or amuse myself as I pleased if I was successful in eluding tho other mem­ bers of the, family. It was in this way that I picked up what little knowl­ edge I have of the world. It has al­ ways been my fondest dream to escape from the ranch, but until two months ago, when I learned of my relatives, I never imagined that it woultj be ful­ filled." GEN. MILE8' FAREWELL ADDRESS. Last Order Issued by the Retiring Commander. Lieut. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, general commanding the army, who retired from active service Aug. 3, having reached the age limit of 64 years, is­ sued a general order bidding farewell to the army. Lieut. Gen. Mines' farewell order praises "the principles of discipline and patriotism which make the army the protector and defender, and never the menace, of the nation and its lib­ erties." He reminds the soldiers that their activity must exist "within the well-defined limits of patriotism, un­ tarnished honor, sterling integrity, im­ partial justice, obedience to rightful authority and incessant warfare against armed enemies." Rich Deposits of Carbonate of Iron. Dr. John P. Frizell has arrived in Portland, Ore., from Chimak island, one of the Aleutian ehain, bringing with him fine samples of carbonate of iron, and eays that there are thou­ sands of tons in the Aleutian deposits. The only,, other deposits are in Ba­ varia, which supplies all the carbonate now in use. , . : f Bishop Satterlee Elected. The synod of the Mexican Episcopal church has elected as Its provisional bishop Right Rev. Dr. Satterlee, bish*, op of Washington. The choice is cor­ dially received throughout Mexico. 1 Rebels Against Ceremonials. Since her marriage some two months ago the Grand Duchess Caro­ lina of Saxe-Welmar has carried on a quiet but determined struggle against the trammels of court etiquette and bureaucracy. Like wives in less ex­ alted social station, she wishes to be mistress in her own household, but high personalities who have been ac­ customed to rule doings of the Wei­ mar court have resented this attitude and have brought powerful influence to bear in the hope of inducing the grand duchess to comply with their views. Serious dissonance has result­ ed and in order to secure some' meas­ ure of peace the duchess has gone to Switzerland. ' Promoting Annexation 8entlment. Congressman Boutell proposes as a means of promoting annexation the intermarriage of young Americans arid Canadians, adding that he had already taken hi3 wife from Canada. His re­ mark recalls to the Toronto Globe the southern Irishman's reply to a ques­ tion as to how the southern woipen regarded secession: "Sure, they're all for union to a man." Resent Success of Americans. Set warfare»is being made in Lon­ don against continued leadership of the handful of American women who reached such prominence in the season just closed. The duchess of Portland, a powerful woman of fashion, is lead­ ing the onslaught, showing even more animosity toward the English aristo­ crats who accept American money for social favors conferred than toward the recipients of such guidance. The duchess goes so far as to declare that presentations at court have been se­ cured for pay. Meet Again After Fifty Vears. Benjamin Wright of Richland, Ore., and his brother, Daniel Wright of Trenton, Mo., are visiting together at Trenton after a separation of fifty years. Benjamin Wright started for California in 1852,. Near St. Joseph he and his team and freight were cap­ tured by Indians. He escaped a few days later and went west empty-hrfhd- ed. This is the first time since then that he has been in Missouri. He Is 77 years old. . y Wealthy and Eceentrfef One of the wealthiest baronets In England is 431r Tatton Sykes, whose rent roll from his Yorkshire estates does not fall far short of $400,000 a year. He is about as eccentric as he is rich, seldom wearing fewer than four coats, while in winter he has been known to don a dozen. ,A Scholar's Vacation.

WHY HE'THANKED HER.' Softie Old Gentleman Had Due Se&ss of Obligation. "Do you see these?" asked the girl in the black sailor hat, holding up her hands incased in a new pair of heavy dogskin gloves. She was smiling as she spoke. / "Yes; what of then^HinquIred her companion, who had m<^ hereon the elevated station. "They just caused ^an unusual ad­ venture. I was coming through Chambers street, when a dignified old gentleman, stopped me. He took off his hat and held it in his hand as he said he wished to apologize for stopping me, but that he really must thank me. He was such a nice old gentleman that I smiled and asked him if I might know what for. "'As 1 came along,' he explained, 1 caught sight of your new gloves, and it reminded me that I had promised to bring home a pair just like them to my daughter to-night. And now I will go and get them at once. Please let me thank you again for myself and my daughter.' And then he bowed to me again and went on Mb way sailing."--Nfpr York Press? . if/K.-. v *1 " ~* • 1 11 ' f ./, 1:*8he Didnt Care.' Maplehill, la., Aug. 10th.--"I felt as though I didn't care whether I lived or died, I was so miserable all the time." In these words does Miss Nellie Bar- foot of this place describe her condi­ tion. Every woman who is, or has been sick and suffering will under­ stand .and appreciate just how Miss Barfoot felt, and there are no doubt many tho*usandg of similar cases. It is truly an awful thing when a woman gets so low that she can say "I don't care whether I live or die." But Miss Barfoot tells a different story to-day, and her words should guide every suffering woman to {ho path of health and happiness. "I used Dodd's Kidney Pills, and I am cured. I feel like a new person, and I would say to every woman suf­ fering as I did, give Dodd's Kidney Pills a trial and you will not be disap­ pointed.

There is plenty, and if you don't mind a place where only one other young lady is kept besides yourself, you might give them a month's trial.
