Mr. Caryl winced visibly. "Impossible, dear--quite late just at this time. But be sure that 1 shall loss no returning, as soou as this--this busi- TWss matter is settled." And with this rather unsatisfac­ tory promise Edith Mailory was tOrced to be content. ."A pretty kettle of flsh I've got my sel l into," mused Mr. Caryl, as he walked abstractedly through the woods on his way to the village hotel "Why couldn't I have had the Inoral courage to own up, at once, that I was engaged to another woman.

"Iam, most certainly." ••by Jove, I'll not stand this*--TO enlist to-morrow. Thirteen dollars a month is better than your con founded miserly temper." "I hope I'm well rid of him at last," was her cool remark when some one told her that Alfred Caryl Had kept his word and enlisted as a pri­ vate in a marching regiment | And this was the woman for whose wealth Alfred Caryl had exchanged ! the love of a heart like "iff|<r, lory's. v . '•Miss Edith, ma'am!" - She was stooping down amohg her mo ning glories and verbenas, her bright hair disheveled, and a rosy glow upon her cheeks, when the ser­ vant's voice reached her. "What is it, Ann?" | "It's that little boy from Widow Xmlany's, ma'am, up on the moun­ tain. He says his mother's worse, and would ye plase come there----" "Of course 1 will," said Edith, cheerfully. "Tell him to run along, and I'll be there immediately." What was it that ever and anon, as she walked along, brought back the memory of olden times on that still October afternoon? Perhaps it was the spicy breath, of fallen leaves nestling in the hollows of rock and road--perhaps the yellow torches of the golden-rod waving on the upland pastures--or perhaps some deeper warning hidden in the mysterious Unknown! She did not reason--she only Knew that her wiongs seemed to rankle in her breast that day as if they had been newly inflicted and still bled with fresh agony. Half way up the dreary mountain the storm broke in all its fury, with blinding glares of lightning, rolling thunder and dizzy sheets of rain, and Edith Mailory instinctively turned her footsteps to the only shelter for miles around--an old deserted house whose windows yawned upon the passer like sightless eyes, and whose door, swinging on one hinge, creaked dismally in the gale. "Jt's a desolate place." thought Edith, "but it is better than no roof at all." The grass was growing between the boards of the ruinous .floor, and the wild vines that had straggled in from the outer air clung with green, tenacious fingers to the broken plastering. All was hushed and silent, and yet, as Edith stood there, she felt the strange, magnetic thrill that warns us even in the darkness of the presence of another human creature. The blood ran chill through her veins; she paused abruptly. "How foolish I am; there can be no one under this roof but myself," j she thought. ' Yet some hidden impulse urged her to step forward and open the weather stained door of a rude corner closet or wardrobe that had been bulit in the wall. The secret monition of her nerves had not been baseless, for, shrinking close up against the wall, stood a haggard-look ng man, dressed in the tattered uniform of a private soldier. She started with a faint, stifled scream. ••Alfred Caryl!" "Yes, Alfred Caryl," he said, with a kind of dogged desperation. "You'll not betray me, Edith Mailory?" "Betray you?" •Tm in hiding," he whispered, hoarsely, while his restless, eager eyes kept up a stealthy watch on all sides. "I've deserted, and the blood­ hounds are after me. Oh, Edith, they'll shoot me down like a dog! Don't tell auyone you have seen me, for the love of mercy!" He fell abjectly on his knees, cling­ ing to the hem of her dress in piteous supplication. She turned away with cold scorn. "So you are in my power at last, Alfred Caryl?" "But you'll not betray me. Edith; you'll let bvgones be bygones. In- ; deed, I loved you all the time, only-- I only I was pledged to Mary, you know, and----v. "Hush!" He shrank from her uplifted finger and grew deadly paie, for the sound of footsteps hurrying uothe rocky path was distinctly audible, "Oh, Edith, save me! • Don't let them capture me." He clung to her dress with the ter- riflod helplessness of a child. "Go back into- that closet," she said, imperatively. H: obeyed without a word, and she went rorward to the door, calm and self-possessed as ever. Two or three soldiers were coming up th i steep path, with a petty officer at their head, having left their horses further down. The officer politely doffed his cap to Miss Mailory, whom he knew very well. «• "Miss Edith--you are'here!" "I took refuge from the rain, Mr. Glenn. Is that your object, too?" "iSo; we are looking for a deserter. Boss said he was quite certain there was some one lurking here; he took a good look through the spy-glass, aud " "I was here, but I did not know j that 1 was lurking," said Edith, | smiling. "iSo--of courte not," stammered the officer. , "Boss, you lool, can't you tell a man from a woman?" Boss scratched his head in perplex­ ity. - 'I could ha' took my oath it was a man," he said. "Fiddlesticks!" ejaculated the offi­ cer. "No one has been in or out to your knowledge, Miss Mailory?" "iNo one," she said, in a low, firm voice.

I want no thanks. 1 said I would be avenged, and the time has coma Have you any money?" ••.No/' he faltered; "nor have tasted bread for twelve hours." She opened her purse, and placed a bill in his hand. •'Now go," she said, coldly, ••and let me never look upon your face again." "But, Edith " ; "Do not suppose I care one straw whether you live or die," she said, interrupting him. "I would not do as much for a friend; it is because you are my enemy that I have saved your life. I am avenged, Alfred Caryl, and now good-bye forever." She was gone, and as Alfred Caryl watched her fragile figure outlined against the stormy violet and gold or the sunset, he almost felt that his life was dearly purchased by the bit ter humiliation he experienced in that hour of danger. It had come--the retribution for which she had watched and waited so long. It had come at last, and Edith Mailory felt that she had triumphed.--New iTork News. , •?« "I > ! wmmmm hf , ' I HOST TERRIFYING OF ALL.

Almy had told of the times he fell over the precipice and was only saved from beiug dashed to pieces by clutch­ ing a dandelion which g.ew on the brink, and Bowen had related how he drank from a bottle, the gift of a New Jersey friend, in the dark, and for a moment thought that he had taken nitric acid through mistake. Acer had given a graphic description of the cold chills which had run over him, and the sudden awful faintness when he went out to dinner in full dress, and discovered as he enter the dining-room that it was only 5.5U; and I had lived over for their benefit my experiences of jufnping from a locomotive just as it crashed into the side of a swiftly moving train. Cooper had sat silently smoking until the last, an 1 after his turn had come he remained for some time ap­ parently deep in thought. At length he said: "Gentlemen, I have no doubt that each o! you has given, thought­ lessly, perhaps, what he considers his supreme moment of terror; but knowing all of you as I do, the joys of your home lives and the trials of the head of a family, you will pardon me if I say that 1 think that you have made a mistake. Is it possible that none of you have ever been aroused at 2 o'clock in the morning by your wife's solemn statement that there were burglars in the house, and that while you were groping your way nervously across the room through the horrible darkness to light the gas, you have none of you ever set your bare foot suddenly on the baby's little hollow rubber doll, which whis­ tled when compressed?" For a moment there was solemn silence, and then we guilty wretches, bound together by the common tie of fatherhood, arose, and shook hands sympathetically with each other. , KJ«i Y. World, (DemA CAN'T MR. WILSON'S MIRACLE. The Old Liberty Bell. The old Liberty Bell hung, during the World's Fair, in the ball of the Pennsylvania Building, guarded day and night by detachments of uni­ formed men. It was viewed during the time it remained in Chicago by millions of people, and the remarks made about it were often amusing and suggestive. Many Western people insisted that the East had had possession of the national relics long enough, and that the bell, the Declaration of inde- pendance, the o'd house where it was signed should all be transported to Chicago or some other central place. Others suggested that Congress should buy the bell, and send it on yearly pilgrimages over the country to stimulate the patriotism of the people. But the majority of spectators looked at the old relic with rever­ ence, especially our citizens of for­ eign birth, who perhaps appreciated the value of political liberty even more keenly than Americans, who have never been without it "That cracked bell," said an old Bussian from Minnesota, tc his son, "first told the world there waft a chance for you and for me." " Another old man, a ranchman from Texas, was carried by the crowd I close to it before he saw it. He jerked his hat off, and stared at it* his face gathering disappointment. "Sh • aint so big as I thought she'd be," he exclaimed, in dismay. After another moment of silence, "She aint as big as the thing she did," he muttered. Presently his face lightened. • -But there she is!" he ejaculated, nodding. • And--she did it!" He backed out of the crowd, his fiat still in his haud. Any inanimate object, or custom, or even a song which will remind our people that wherever they were born, they have as Americans the same great past, serves a noble purpose. It helps to bind them together by a common emotion and pride, and kindles an ambition to make the. fu­ ture of their country as great as its past--Youth's Companion.

The doc-tors in at­ tendance could not . report anything in the way of symptoms which would suggest that there was something out o! the ordinary in the man's slumbers, excepting a complete rigidity of the limbs. One peculiarity which was much commented upon was that the Democratic majority in Congress be­ lieve it, but the protests against tariff reform which are going up from all the industrial centers of the country indi­ cate that the people are much better satisfied with the present tariff than they are likely to Da with any. which Congress may provide. The Demo­ cratic party persuaded enough vot3rs that the McKinley tariff was a griev­ ous burden to give them the control of legislation. We were to have a tariff for revenue only, which at least would have the merit of providing revenue enough for the government's needs. If the Democrats had proposed in 1892 what they now propose, a tariff which would cut down the revenue $75,000,000 below the needs of the government and necessitate the imposition of new taxes, they could not have carried the country. They proposed no t.uch thing, and they either did not know what they meant by a tariff for revenue only or they engaged in a schema of false pre­ tenses. Henry Watterson declares tr:at if President Cleveland does not insist upon a tariff for revenue only in­ stead of this mongrel protection meas­ ure prepared by the Ways and Means Committee, he stands in the position of a receiver of stolen goods. The workingmen of the country have already lost through the fear of tariff reform more than all the burdens which the McKinley tariff would im­ pose upon them in years. They re member that they were enjoying great prosperity last year under McKinley protection. They begin to realize what distress will come upon them when the tariff reformers have cut off their protection, and they are saying in unmistakable tones: "Let the tariff alone." If it could be determined to­ day that the tariff should not be med died with, there is no reason in the world why industry should not at once revive. But under the Democratic machinations at Washington no one knows whether it will ever revive. At the best there is little chance of im provement before next fall, and the Congressional elections will express the opinions of the people in trumpet tones. Some Democratic Congressmen see this with awful distinctness and are getting under cover. Let the workingmon give a lively impetus to their dodging by a vigorous protest in favor of letting well enough alone.-- Springfield Union. The liiNW In Trade.

Louis BepublS6? !,rjfate of sale* for the 1893 half year wa* Great Lou In Grain Values. Wheat is 17 to l£c, corn 9 to 11c, oats 5 to 6c, mess pork $5 to $5.50, lard $2.80 to $3, and short ribs $2.85 to $2. !!0 lower in value on the Chicago market than on this date last year. These facts prove that Iowa farmers have suffered the great loss of about one-third the value of all their products raised dur­ ing the first year of the free trade and trust administration and Congress, |tn aggregate loss amounting to hundreds of millions of dollar.'. Facts tell, and all the figures are ringing the death knell of free trade. Last year's wheat crop was far less than the average, and the world's supply is too small to meet the requirements of the year, and yet the American crop of 400,000,000 bush­ els will be sold at a loss of $50,030,000, as compared with the average price cf 1£9.?.-when Gov. Boies wrote that letter to Mr. Shearman, stating that the elec­ tion of a free trade administration and congress, in November of that year, would "add at least 30 cents to every bushel of wheat." The farmers are suffering as great lo=ses from ihe Dem­ ocratic hard times as the average of the other classes, but they are more independent through having full food supplies in their own granaries and cellars. They have had all the fr^e trade they desire, however, and they will vote almost unanimously for a Re­ publican and home market-building Congress next November.--Des Mpines Register. His Own Party's Disgust. The final exposure of the President's secret operations in Honolulu will go far toward destroying what remained of his reputation before the country as a man of sense and prudence. In view of the many devious and indirect paths into which the President and his Secre­ tary of State have inadvertently stray­ ed during these unprecedented per­ formances, it would be more satisfac­ tory if the President would have Mr Willis instructed not only that he has fully complied with his original in­ structions, but that he need not com­ ply with them any more. There has been such a bewi.aering and continu­ ing repetition of compliance that, for all we know, Mr. Willis, unless stopped, may go on stirring up dangerous ex­ citement by a daily demand on the pro \ isional government for the surrender contemplated by the original instruc­ tions. Congress should peremptorily enjoin President Cleveland, Secretary Gresh- cm, and Minister Willis to meddle no more with the affairs of the Hawaiian government. The Secretary of State should also be directed to inform Pres­ ident Dole that the offensive demand made upon the provisional government is disavowed by the United States and withdrawn. -- Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.). . Wliit the "Chin|e" Brought About. . The Cleveland administration is ap­ parently bound to justify the long "es­ tablished opinion that the Democratic party does not know how to manage the finances of the country. There will be, at the end of Mr. Cleveland's term, a startling difference in the financial ex­ hibit of this administration and that of his predecessor. During Mr.Harrison's term the national debt was decreased $-59,000,000. So far the Cleveland ad­ ministration has already increased the debt by $50,000,000, and as Congress, in case the Wilson bill is passed, will be compelled to bor row at least $200,000,000 more, the grand difference between the Harrison and the Cleveland administra- faintly expresses the difference to the property holders of the country. Before the first year of Mr. Cleveland's term has expired the shrinkage in value of securities and stocks is estimated above a thousand million, and the shrinkage in the value of other investments and real estate must amount to • a still greater sum. What a fine "change" we made in Noyember, 1892. The Republican Opportunity** • Everything indicates that thewel- publican party will have a great op­ portunity next fall, when the Congres­ sional elections will be due. The party is fortunate in haying a well-estab­ lished reputation for honesty and the ability to conduct the affairs of the United States Government in such a way as to promote the people's inter­ ests. and those qualities are now in de­ mand. The Cleveland administration and the Democrats in Congress have floun­ dered ever since they came into power. The repeal of the Sherman silver law was delayed without the shadow of an excuse, and now the Democrats are making a torrible mess of their efforts to reform the tariff. After promising to give a tariff. for revenue they are bending their energies to the work of providing for an enormous deficit. The Wilson bill excites only less severe con­ demnation from Democrats than it does from Republicans, and the inccme tax scheme is making those responsible for it a laughing stock in the eyes of the country. The administration is in dis­ grace on account of its Hawaiian pol­ icy, and everything indicates that the people are ready for a change. Our friends, the enemy, have been inclined to make fun of any reference to the Republican party's record, but they are likely to realize that a good record is a fine thing to have.

Most men gain more or less wisdom during a period, let us say of ten years, devoted principally to public affairs; but some men forget what they knew at the very beginning. In the letter accepting his first nomination for Pres­ ident, written at Albany on Aug. 19, 1883, Hon. Grover Cleveland formulated this maxim: "They, the voters of the land, have learned that mystery and concealment in the management of their affairs cov­ er tricks ond betrayal." They have learned it now, thanks to Mr. Cleveland's policy of infamy.

Even if the Wilson bill should be passed there was no call to repeal the provMons of the McKinley law und r which arrangements for reciprocal trade can be made to the advantage of the peop]e of the United States. Un­ der that prevision the United States has secured advantages in the markets < f several nations. In three years we have captured \he flour market of Cuba and enlarged our trade else­ where. But the supporters of the Wil- scn bill stem determined to-nullify any advantage the producers and laborers of this country have, either in their own or other markets.--Indianapolis Journal. Which Does Grover Prefer? In December. 1887, it was the fright­ ful condition of a great and growing surplus in the United States treasury that confronted the country, according to Mr. Cleveland's famous declaration. Now it is the frightful condition of a great and growing deficit that alarms the country. Perhaps Mr. Cleveland will tell us"sometime which variety of calamity he prefers, a surplus or a deficit. Yes, Why? When prices of agricultural ma­ chinery have fallen about 60 per cent. during the pa^t twenty years under home competition, why put it on the freo list? And why put such machinery on the free list when the iron and several other articles which enter into its construction are made to pay a duty? «fee Whole 8to«r.
