Yess, my daughter, fit isa Helena! I haf not seen her for •any years, long, cruel years. 1 sup­ pose her dead. But now there we wre, standing, looking' in each oth- •t'b ayes! We see there-- Ach, Gott! what do we not see? Yet in spite of all, it wass Helena! Rut she shall tell yon." He tottered from the room. I heard his footsteps pass down the balL Then softly, almost silently, Hel­ ena von Ritz again stood before me. The light from a side window fell vpon her face. Yes, it was she! Her face was thinner now, browner even than was its wont. Her hair was still faintly sunburned at its extremities by the western winds. Yet hers was still Imperishable youth and beauty. 1 held out my hands to her. "Ah," I cried, "you played me false! You ran away! By what miracle did you come through? I confess my defeat. You beat me by almost half a year." "But now you have come," said she simply. "Yes, to remind you that you have friends. You have been here in secret all the winter. Mr. Calhoun did not know you had come. Why did you not go to him?" "I was waiting for you to come. Do you not remember our bargain? Each day I expected you. In some way, I scarce knew how, the weeks wore on." "And now I find you both here-- you and your father--where I would expect to find neither. Continually you violate all law of likelihood. But now, you have seen Elfzabeth?" "Yes, I have seen her," she said, still simply. I could thtnk of no word suited to that moment. I stood only looking at her. She would have spoken, but on the instant raised han*1 "s though to demand- my silence. 1 heard a loud knock at the door, peremptory, com­ manding, as though the owner came. "You must go into another room," said Helena von Ritz to me hurriedly. "Who is it? Who is at the door?" I asked. She looked at me calmly. "It is Sir Richard Pakenham," said she. "This is his uFual hour. I will send him away. Go now--quick!" 1 rapidly passed behind the screen­ ing curtains into the hall, even as I heard a heavy foot stumbling at the threshold and a somewhat husky voice offer some sort of salutation. CHAPTER XXXII. Pakenham's Price. The happioBt women, like nations, have no history.--<3eorge Eliot. The apartment into which 1 hur­ riedly stepped I found to be a long and narrow hall, heavily draped. A door or so made off on the right-hand aide, and a closed door also appeared at the farther end; but none invited me to enter, and I did not care to in­ trude. This situation did not please me, because I must perforce hear all that went on in the rodms which I had juBt left. I heard the thick voice of a man, apparently none the better for wine. 'My dvar," it began. "I--" Some gesture must have warned him. "God bless my soul!" he began again. "Who is here, then? What is wrong?" "My father .is here to-day," I heard her clear voice answer, "and. as yon suggest, It might perhaps be better--" "God bless my soul!" he repeated. "But, my dear, then I must >go! To­ night, then!

"No, Sir Richard, it would never do. Go, then!" spoke in a low and icy voice, hers, yet not hers. "Hasten!" I heard her half whisper. "I think perhaps my father--" But it was my own footsteps they heard. This was something to whieh I could not be party. Yet, rapidly as I walked, her visitor was before me. I caught sight only of his portly back, as the street door closed behind him. She stood, her back against the door, her hand spread out against the wall, as though to keep me from passing. I paused and looked at her, held by the horror Id her eyes. She made no concealment, offered no apologies, and showed no shame. I repeat that It was only horror and sadness mingled which I saw on her face. "Madam," I began. And again, "madam!" and then I turned away. "You see," she said, sighing. "Yes, I fear I see; but I vish I did not. Can I not--may I not be mis­ taken ?" "No, It is true. There is no mis­ take." "What have you done? Why, why?" "Did you not always credit me with being the good friend of Mr. Paken­ ham years ago--did not all the city? Well, then I was not; but I am, now! I was England's agent only--until last night. Monsieur, you have come too soon, too late, too late. Ah, my God! my God! Last night I gave at last that consent. He comes now to claim, to exact, to take--possession--of me Ah, my God!" "I cannot, of course, understand you madam. What twit? Tell me!" "For three years England's minister besought me to be his, not England's "But did I not hear him say there was a key--his key--to-night?" "Yes, England once owned that key. Now, he does. Yes, it is true. Since yesterday. Now, he comes ." "But, madam--ah, how could you so disappoint my belief in you?" "Because"--she smiled bitterly--"in all great causes there are sacrifices." "Hut no cause could warrant this." "I was judge of that," was her re­ sponse "I saw her--Elizabeth--that girl. Then I saw what the future years rr.

Yes, I, even as I am; because of this--this act--this sacrifice--I can win you for her. And I can win that wider. America which you have cov­ eted; which I covet for you--which I covet with you!"

"Now--now, I say--Pakenham the minister is sunk in Pakenham the man. He does as 1 demand--because he is a man. He signs what 1 demand because 1 am a woman. I say, to­ night--but, see!" She hastened now to a little desk, and caught up a folded document which lay there. This she handed to me, unfolded, and I ran it over with a hasty glance.

It was not true, what the town thought. It was not true in the case either of Yturrlo. Intrigue--yes --I loved it. I intrigued with Eng­ land and Mexico both, because it was In my nature; but no more than that. No matter what I once was in Eu­ rope, I was . not here--not, as I said, until last night. Ah, monsieur! Ah, monsieur!" Now her hands were beating together. "But why then? Why then? What do you mean?" I demanded. ( "Because no other way sufficed. All this winter, here, alone, I have planned and thought about other means. Noth­ ing wculd do. There was but the one way. Now you eee why I did not go to Mr. Calhoun, why I kept my pres­ ence here a secret." "But you saw Elizabeth?' "Yes, long ago. My friend, you have won! You both have won, and I hav© lost. She loves you, and is worthy of you. You are worthy of each other, yes. I saw I had lost; and I told you I would give you her--and Oregon! Well, then, that last was--hard." She choked. "That was--hard to do." Sh* almost sobbed. "But I have--paid! Heart and soul . . . and body . . I have . . . paid! Now, he comes . . . for . . . the price!" "But then--but then!" I expostu­ lated. "What does this mean, that I see here? There was no need for this. Had you no friends among us? Why, though It means war, I myself to-night would choke that beast Paken­ ham with my own hands!" "No, you will not." tremendous importance which lay in those few closely written lines. England's minister offered, over the signature of England, a compromise of the whole Oregon debate, provided this country would accept the line of the forty-ninth degree! That, then, was Pakenham's price for this key that lay here. "This--this is all I have been able to do with him thus far," she faltered. "It is not enough. But 1 did it for you!" "Madam, this is more than all A m e r ­ ica has been able to do before' This has not been made public?" "No, no! It is not enough. But to-night I shall make him surrender all--all north, to the very ice, for America, for the democracy! See, now, I was born to be devoted, im­ molated, after all , as my mother was before me. That is fate! Hut I shall make fate pay! Ah, monsieur! Ah! monsieur!" She flung herself to her feet. "I can get it all for you. you and yours"' she reiterated, holding out her hands, the little pink fingers upturned, as was oftan her gesture. "You shall go to your chief and tell him that Mr. Polk was right--that you yourself, who taught Helena von Ritz what life is, taught her that after all she was a woman--are able, because she was a woman, to bring in your own hands all that country, yes, to fifty four forty, or even farther. I do not know what all can be done. I only know that a fool will pt^rt with everything (or the sake of his body." DEBATE LASTS THREE HOURS I stood now looking at her, silent, trying to fathom the vastness of what she said, trying to understand at all their worth the motives which im­ pelled her. The largeness of her plan, yes, that could be seen. The large ness of her heart and brain, yes, that also. Then slowly, I saw yet more. At last I understood. What I saw was a horror to my soul. "Madam," said I to her, at last, "did you indeed think me so cheap as that? Come here!" "I led her to the central apartment, and motioned her to a seat. "Now, then, madam, much has been done here, as you say. It is all that ever can be done You shall not eee Pakenham to-night, nor ever again!" But think what that will cost you!" she broke out. "This Is only part. It should all be yours." I fiung the document from me. "This has already cost too much," I said. "We do not buy states thus." "But it will cost you your future! Polk is your enemy, now, as he is Calhoun's. He will not strike you now, but so soon as he dares, he will. Now, if you could do this--If you could take this to Mr. Calhoun, to America, it would mean for you per­ sonally all that America could give yOii ill iiuuuio, "Honors without honor, madam, I do not covet," I replied. Then I would have bit my tongue through when I saw the great pallor cross her face at the cruelty of my speech. "And myself!" she said, spreading out her hands again. "But no! I know you would not taunt me. I know, in spite of what you say, there must be a sacrifice. Well, then I have made it. I have made my atonement. I say I can give you now, even thus, at least a part of Oregon. I can perhaps give you all of Oregon--to-morrow! The Pakenhams have always dared much to gain their ends. This one will dare even treachery to his country. To­ morrow--if I do not kill him--if I do not die--I can perhaps give you all of Oregon--bought--bought and . . . paid!" Her voice trailed on into a whisper which seemed loud as a bugle call to me. "No, you cannot give us Oregon," I answered. "We are men, not pan­ ders. We fight; we do not traffic thus. But you have given me Elizabeth!" "My rival!" She smiled at me in spite of all. "But no, not rny rival Yes, I have already given you her and given you to her. To do that--to atone, as I said, for my attempt to part you--well, I will give Mr. Paken­ ham the key that Sir Richard Paken­ ham of England lately held. I told you a woman pays, body and soul! In what coin fate gave me, I will pay it. You think my morals mixed. No, I tell you I am clean! I have only bought my own peace with my own conscience! Now, at last, Helena von Ritz knows why she was born, to what end! I have a work to do, and, yes, I see it now--my Journey to America after all was part of the plan of fate. I have learned much--through you, monsieur." Hurriedly sho turned and left me, passing through the heavy draperies which cut off the room where stood the great satin couch. I saw her cast herself there, her arms outfiung Slow, deep and silent sobs shook all her body "Madam! Madam!" I cried to her. "Do not! Do not! What you have done here is worth a hundred millions of dollars, a hundred thousand of lives, perhaps. Yes, that is true. It means most of Oregon, with honor, aDd with­ out war. That is true, and It is much. But the price paid--It is more than all this continent is worth, if it cost so much as that. Nor shall it!" Black, with a million pin-points of red, the world swam around me. Mil­ lions of dead souls or souls unborn seemed to gaze at me and my un­ hesitating rage. I caught up the scroll which bore England's signature, and with one clutch cast it In two pieces on the floor. As it lay, we gazed at it in silence. Slowly, I saw a great, soft radiance come upon her face. The red pin points cleared away from my own vision.

NO CHIMNEY IN THIS HOUSE Heating, Lighting, and All Other Necessary Things of the Kind Done by Electricity. According to the Technical World Magazine a citizen of Schenectady, N. Y., without waiting for the impor­ tunities of designing salesmen, built a handsome residence in which there wus no chimney, furnace, register, ra­ diator, baseburner, gas fixtures or ccou stcve. By making inquiries of the coal dealer, the contractor and the local electric light company, and then doing a few simple sums in arithme­ tic, he established the fact that elec­ tric heating, co6king and lighting ap­ pliances could be installed as cheaply as the usual steam heating outfit and coal or gas ranges with their necee- sary chimneys, and that the cost of operation would b«# as low, or at least that any small increase would be more than offset by enhanced comfort and convenience. When this model electric house was described to the New York £lectr> society th« fact JE was developed that it wal by no means the only one of Its kind. Other houses at Schenectady and elsewhere have been heated success­ fully by electricity, though some of them, having been built before the dawn of the electric era, may have left-over chimneys, steam radiators and other relics of a less advanced age.

Springfield. -County local option for Illinois was killed in the house of rep­ resentatives by a vote of 63 to 83, after an exciting debate. By a Vote of 64 yeas to 80 nays the "wet{' bill, to repeal the present township local option law, was defeat­ ed. Members who on the former roll call opposed county option switched when the roil call was reached on the "wet" bill and by their action leave the present law on local option un­ changed. The vote on the "dry" bill came after three hours of the most impor­ tant debate to which the Forty-ceventh general assembly has listened. The lineup was practically the same as when the amendment proposed by the "drys" to exempt Chicago was voted down by the "wets." A filibuster to switch 19 of these votes to the "dry" forces failed. The results are not satisfactory to either side of the controversy, but it puts an end to the agitation before the general assembly for at least two years Pressure is being exerted to clear the decks and close the session May 15. Governor Deneen's lieutenants have notified him that they will try to get the administration measures through by April 29. The date in May has been fixed by house leaders as the earliest possible one when final ad­ journment can be taken. The initiative and referendum Is to be the first of the proposed constitu­ tional amendments to be settled by the senate. With a lineup of 25 to 20, the senators decided to make it a spe­ cial order for next Wednesday, and di­ rected Attorney General Stead to have an opinion ready on the subject at the same time. The tax revenue amendment supporters voted with the majority. Revision of the railroad and ware­ house laws of Illinois came near ac­ complishment when a bill, agreed upon by railroads, shippers, consumers and labor, was accepted as a substi- ture for all pending railroad and com­ merce bills and was reported favor­ ably from the house committee on railroads. The bill puts the Illinois railroad and warehouse commission on a level with the federal Interstate commerce commission in Its relation to Inter­ state traffic. Senate bill No. 39, giving women the right to vote for all statutory offices and carrying a referendum clause, was read a first time In the house and referred to the committee on elec­ tions. Mr. Tice moved that the bill be ad­ vanced to second reading without reference, but Minority Leader Al- schuler* objected, whereupon Speaker Ad kins referred It to the committee. The 'drys" sprung a surprise on the "wets" In the local option fight In the house when Chairman George H. Wilson of the temperance committee offered an amendment to the county option bill eliminating Cook county from Its operation. The amendment was presented immediate­ ly following the reading of the bill by Clerk McCann. The proposition was tabled by a vcjc 0f 05 £•>. The bill then was advanced to third reading without the threatened motion to strike out the enacting clause being made. The "wek" bill, which repeals the present township local option law, was next read and advanced to third read­ ing without objection. Local optionists from all parts of Illinois filled the galleries and over­ flowed onto the floor of the house, un­ til Speaker Adkins was forced to or­ der the floor cleared to get order "The galleries will please observe order," directed Speaker Adkins again and again, "and refrain from demon­ stration during the consideration of these bills." Some confusion resulted before the floors were cleared, during which the speaker directed the arrest of any per­ son who refused to obey the Instruc­ tion of the doorkeeper. The fight began with the speaker's announcement: 'The chair lays before the house by special order house bill 209. The clerk will read the bill." It was at this point that Representa­ tive Wilson Introduced the amend­ ment eliminating Cook county. He said in part: "You will observe that this amend- 10,000 Miners Are Idle. State Secretary-Treasurer Duncan McDonald of the United Mine Workers association stated that at least 10,000 miners are without work in the state and that many workers are leaving for other states In search of employ ment in other capacities, while many miners from other states are coming to Illinois in search of work. The state secretary expects this con­ dition to continue until September, when orders for next winter's coal will cause mines to resume operations. ment which I offer excludes Cook county from operation of this bill. As far as the opponents of this bill are concerned, they have always felt with regard to Cook county that there is no earthly chance of having county option adopted there." Representative Alschuler, minority leader, attacked the amendment. "This is a sweet, oily tvay of getting around this measure and winning the support of the Chicago men,' he said. "Do not be fooled by this subterfuge." Representative George II. English Democrat, and Representative G. H Smith, the Independent member, spoke in favor of the amendment. Representative Smith's declaration that he was not afraid to stand on state-wide prohibition brought ap­ plause from the galleries. Arising to a point of personal privi­ lege, Lee O'Neil Hrowne said he ob­ jected to the deliberations of the house being turned Into a vaudeville show. "These people are here by suffrage," said Browne, "and should observe the rules of this house." Loud hisses from t^e galleries an­ swered Browne's challenge. In an In­ stant Representative Chiperfield was OE Ills "Mr. Speaker," he said, "I reseat any member of this iouse being hlsse<? from the galleries " Shaking his finger toward the west gallery, Chiperfield continued: "If the galleries want to keep up these tactics, I will respond In a way they will understand." Proceeding to the order of commit­ tee reports, Chairman Perkins of the house elections committee reported back without recommendation the woman suffrage bill, which passed the senate with a referendum clause. Representative Tice moved that the bill be placed upon the house calendar on the order of second readlpg and de­ manded « roll call. The vote resulted 74 yeas to 69 nays and the bill was or­ dered placed upon the calendar on second reading. . The bill Is now subject to further amendments. A move probably will be made to substitute It for the house bill. Eighteen of the twenty-two senators who were ordered under arrest by the senate for failure to be In their seats were absolved from blame when they gave excuses and the account of their short period in custody was expunged from the records.

More than ten million dollars Is being wasted annually in Illinois by township road commissioners, accord­ ing io iiie re|«jii of the good roads commission created by the last legisla­ ture. This commission, of which Rep­ resentative George L. McConnell is chairman, submitted its report to the house. The report contains a scathing at­ tack upon the township highway com­ missioner plan of managing public highways. More than 4,500 of these commis­ sioners, says the report, are paying themselves salaries for approximately each day of the year for which the public receives practically no benefit whatever Continuing this phase of the in­ quiry the report of the special com­ mission says in part: "From our investigations,,0 we find that there is enough taxes levied in the state of Illinois annually, that, if expended in an economical, uniform and systematic manner, under the supervision of a practical head, would be sufficient to construct a system of highways, Intra-township, intra-county and intra-state, making a complete network of roads built of a character that would be a monument to the pro­ gressive character of the people of the state and add materially to the prosperity of every community.
