You have made ne happy (o a degree!" •Very wen, but say not that . I gave you svch counsel. When your father speaks to me, as he is certain to do, then I will say such and such words to him; but my words in your south will be a great offence, and wry justly eo, for it is hard to carry words, and carry nothing else.

If of Liberty I now speak to him, he has a smile so hopeless tjtiat both sad and angry it makes me. No faith has he left in any?-loan, ex­ cept Washington; and I think, also, he Is disappointed that Washington was mot crowned King George the First." At this point in the conversation y»n Heemskirk was called to the door rfbout some business matter and George was left alone with his grand­ mother. She put the cups quickly 4own, and going to George's side, said: "Cornelia Moran spends this even­ ing with her friend Arenta Van Ariens. yell then, would thou like an excuse to call on Arenta?" "Oh, grandmother! Do you Indeed know Arenta? Can you send me there?" "Since she was one month old I have known Arenta. This morning, she came here to borrow for ber Aunt Jacobus my ivory winders. For thy pleasure I will get them, and thou canst lake them this evening to Arenta." *0 you dear, dear grandmother!" %nd he stood up, and lifted her rosy face between his hands and kissed tier. "Get me the winders, grandmother; for now yon have given me a reason to hurry." Then she went into the best parlor, and opening one of the shutters let in Sufficient light to find in the drawer Of a little Chinese cabinet some ivory winders of very curious design and workmanship. She folded them in soft tissue paper and handed them to her grandson with a pleasant nod; and the young man slipped them into his pocket, and then went hurriedly away. Doubting and hoping, he reached ffce Van Ariens* house soon after seven O'clock. It was not quite dark, and Jacob Van Ariens stood on the stoop, amoking his pipe. "Good evening, sir," said George £th smiling politeness. "Is Miss Van iens within?" "Within? Yes. But company she kas to-night," said the watchful tather, as he stood suspicious and im­ movable in the entrance. '*1 have come with a message to Miss Van Ariens." "A very line messenger!" answered Tan Ariens, slightly smiling. A fine lady deserves a fine messen­ ger. But, sir, if you will do my er­ rand for me, I am content. I have brought from Madame Van Heemskirk some ivory winders for Madame Ja- cdbua." . "Come In, come in, and tell my Arenta the message thyself. Welcome thou!" and Van Ariens himself O&ened the parlor door, saying: "Arenta, here is George Hyde A message he brings for thy Aunt An- geiica." And while these words were be­ ing uttered, George delighted his eyes With the vision of Cornelia, who sat at a small table with some needlework 9- -Jv--. •J- &:#$•- i.K . n that he could visit her at any hour of the day without a ceremonious invita­ tion. He took a merry leave of Arenta, and went directly 'to his rooms. '"Tls my destiny! *Tis my happy destiny to love her!" he said softly to himself. "I shall tell Mrs. Adams how far gone' in love I am," he continued. "I shall say to her, 'Help me, madame, to an opportunity'; and I think she will not refuse. As for my father, I heard him this morning with as much pa­ tience as any Christian could do; but I am resolved to marry Cornelia. I will not give her up; not for an earl­ dom! Not for a dukedom! Not for the crown of England!" Joris Hyde allowed the sweet emo­ tions Cornelia had Inspired to have, and to hold, and to occupy his whole being. Sleep was a thousand leagues away, and he flung open the casement and sat in a beatitude of blissful hopes and imaginations. And after midnight, when dreams fall, the moon came up over Nassau and Cedar streets and threw poetic glamors over the antique churches, and grassy graveyards, and the pretty houses, covered with vines and budding rosebushes; and this soft shadow of light calmed and charmed him. "It is a sign to me! v It is a sign! So will I put away every baffling hin­ drance between Cornelia and myself. Barriers will only be as those vapor­ ous clouds. I shall part them with my strong resolves--I shall--I shall-- I--" and he fell asleep with this sense of victory thrilling his whole being. CHAPTER V. •I have come with a message." la ber hand. Arenta's tatting was over ber toot, and she had to remove it in •order to rise and meet Hyde. Rem eat idly fingering a pack of playing Cards and talking to Cornelia. In a few moments, Arenta's pretty enthusiasms and welcomes dissipated all constraints, and Hyde placed his chair among the happy group and fell •asily into his most charming mood, fhey sang, they played, they had a game at whist, and everything that happened was in some subtle, secret way, a vehicle for Hyde's love to ex­ press itself. About half-past nine, a negro came With Cornelia's cloak and hood.

'Citt sen Washington' is not bad." "It Is execrable, Mrs. Adams, and I am ashamed that you should makp it, even as a pleasantry." "Indeed, my friend, there Is no fore­ telling what may be. And, after all, I do believe. that the President re­ gards his citizenship far above his office. What say you, Lieutenant?" "I think, madame, that fifty, one hundred, one thousand years after this day, it will be of little import* ance what prefix Is put before the name of the President He Will be simply George Washington In every heart and on every page." "That is true," said Mrs. Adams. "Fame uses no prefixes. It Is Pom* pey, Julius Caesar, Pericles, Alfred, Hampden, Oliver Cromwell." "Washington will do for love and' Turning Over a New Leaf. When Hyde awakened, he was In that borderland between dreams and day which we call dawn. The noises finally woke him thoroughly. "I am more alive than ever I was in my life," he said; and he laughed gayly, and went to the window. "It is a lovely day; and that is so much In my favor," he added, "for if it were rain­ ing, Cornelia would not leave the house." Then he fell into reverie about his proposed visit to Mrs. Adams. Last night it appeared to him an easy and natural thing to do. He was not so sure of his position this morning. But there are times when laisses- aller carries before it, and Hyde was in just such a mood. "I'll run the chance," he said. "IH risk it I'll let things take their course." And after all, when a man is in love, to be reasonable is often to be cowardly. When he was dressed he went to his hotel and breakfasted there. Early as it was, there were many members and senators present--eat­ ing, drinking coffee and disputing. Hyde took no notice of any of these disputes until a man--evidently an Englishman--called Franklin "a beg­ gar-on-horseback-Yankee." Then he looked steadily at the speaker, say­ ing with the utmost coolness and firmness: "You are s mistaken, sir. The beg- gar-on-horseback is generally suppos­ ed to ride to the devil, franklin rode to the highest posts of political honor and the esteem and affection of worthy men in all the civilized world." With these words he rose, pushed aside his chair with a little temper, and, turning, met Jefferson face to face. The great man smiled, and put his hand affectionately on Hyde's shoulder. "You spoke well, my young friend. Now, I will give you a piece of advice --when any one abuses a great man in your presence, ask them what kind of people they admire. You will certainly be consoled." Hyde, casting his eyes a moment On this tall, loose-limbed man, whose cold blue eyes and red hair empha­ sized the stern anger of his whole appearance, was well disposed to leave the scurrilous Englishman to his power of reproof. Riding hard, it was quite half-past nine when he drew rein at the door of Richmond Hill. Thus far, he had suffered himself to be carried for­ ward by the impulse of his heart and he still put firmly down any won­ der as to what he should say or do. He was shown into a bright little parlor with open windows. A table, elegantly and plentifully spread, oc­ cupied the center of the room; ijind sitting as it were the vice president and Mrs. Adams and also their only daughter, the beautiful, but not very intellectual, Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Adams met him with genuine, though for­ mal kindness; Mrs. Smith with court­ esy, and the vice president rose, bowed handsomely, hoped he was well, and then after a minute's re­ flection said: "We were talking about the offi­ cial title proper for Gen. Washington. What do you think. Lieutenant? Or have you heard Gen. Hyde express any opinion on the subject?" Sir, I do not presume to under­ stand the ceremonials of government My father 1b of the opinion that 'The President of the United States' has a Roman and republican simplicity, and that any addition to it would be de­ rogatory and childish." My dear young man, the eyes of the world are upon us. To give a title to our leaders and rulers belongs to history. In the Roman republic great conquerors assumed even dis­ tinctive titles, as well as national onaa." "Then oar Washington Is superior to them." "Chief Justice McKean thinks *Hls 8erene Highness the President of the United States' is very suitable. Roger Sherman Is of the opinion that neither 'His Highness' nor 'His Ex­ cellency* are novel and dignified enough; and Gen. Muhlenberg says Washington himself is In favor of 'High Mightiness,' the title used by . the Stadtholder of Holland." He flung open the easement. for fame," continued Hyde. The next generation may say Mr. Madison, or Mr. Monroe or Mr. Jay; but they will want neither prefix nor suffix to Washington, Jefferson, Franklin-- and, if you permit me, sir--Adams." The Vice President was much pleased. He said "Pooh! Pooh!" and stood up and stepped loftily across the hearth rug, but the subtle compli­ ment went warm to his heart "Well, well," he answered, "heart­ ily, and from our souls, we must do our best and then trust to Truth and Time, our name and our memory. But I must now go to town--our af­ fairs give us no holidays." ' (To be continued.) BRAVERY, AND TRUE COURAGE. Japaneee Sure He Would Be Killed, But Didn't Mind. The little lieutenant who lived just across the street from O. K. Davis, the New York Sun's war correspondent in Tientsin, said to him one day: "I should be very happy to have you visit me in my home in Japan after tnls war is over, but I expect to be killed." He was perfectly sincere and unaf­ fected. His belief did not alter his at­ tention to duty in the slightest He went wherever he was ordered as gay­ ly as If it were to a feast, no matter if the field was swept with bullets. When I saw him in Peking a day or so after the legations had been re­ lieved he said simply: "Perhaps I shall not be killed this time after Jill." Would you call it courage when such a man as that leads a little col­ umn against a stone wall, and when he can't get over at first sits down and waits until he can? He hasn't any conception of courage. He Is br^ve, but with the bravery of a bull­ dog. There Is more real courage in the old hen fluttering over her little chick­ ens to protect them from the threat­ ening hawk. If it were not for them she would flee fast enough from the danger. There you have the essential differ­ ence between courage and bravery, and between the American soldier and the Japanese or Russian. The Orien­ tals, counting the Russian as an Ori­ ental, are dangerous men to meet be­ cause they have no care for the result. How much more dangerous is the man who sees through to the end and discounts It all, yet goes ahead to the desperate finish.--Every oody's Maga sine. 8cotch Sense. An Englishman and a Scotsman were disputing over the relative mer­ its of Shakespeare and Burns. "And you say, do you, that Billy Shakespeare was a greater man than Robbie Burns?" "Yes, I do, and every Englishman knows it" "But you say that it was Shake- speare who said, 'Uneasy lies the head that wears a croon.' " "Certainly it was Shakespeare. Rob­ bie Burns could never have said that" "Noo, noo; Robbie Burns would never hae said that; he had ower muckle sense to say a thing like that" "Ower muckle sense, man! What do you mean?" "Yes, yes; Robbie Burns would hae kent that ony king would hae ta'en his croon off and hung it on the back of the chair before lying doon. You seem to forget' that Robbie was a Scotsman." Rather Confusing. "What," he asked, "does IS. B.' stand for?" "In what connectionT" "Why referring to the King of Enf> land, of course." "It stands for 'Edward Rex." For a few minutes the inquirer was burled in thought "His mother used the Initials *V. H' didn't she?" he asked at length. "She did." "Was she •Victoria Rex'?" "No; she was 'Victoria Rf$!na.'* "That's what I .thought and that's' what puzzles me." "How does It puzzle you?'* "Why, I can't help wondering what King Edward wanted to change the family name for/* LIEUTENANT-COMMANDER, RODMAN TO GOVERN MIDWAY ISLANDS < -i' V 4 *- *' ; 7/ 7^; vf ••'Y * LIEU TEN AW T COMMANDER HUGH RODMAN )/\ -v The first American governor ot Mid* way Island is Lieutenant Commander Hugh Rodman, U. S. N., who has just been appointed Naval Governor of that isolated and barren spot of American soil in the middle of the Pacific. Notice of his appointment was received by him from the secre­ tary of the navy a few. days ago. One of the most peculiar things about his governorship is that there are now no inhabitants at Midway. However, it is expected that there will be a population on the island by the time the new governor reaches his do­ main. The population of Gov. Rod­ man's domain is expected to arrive there by the steam schooner Grace Dollar from San Francisco, chartered to take material and men with which to erect the necessary buildings for a cable station at Midway. Lieutenant Commander Rodman la a native of Kentucky and entered the Naval Academy in 1875. Since then he has seen eighteen years' sea serv­ ice in the navy and wds for six years engaged in the coast and geodetic sur­ vey and in other scientific work. His scientific equipment is admirable, both his tastes and his opportunities having lain in that direction. For the last year he has been in command of the United States steamer Iroquois at the Honolulu station, and since the recall of Capt. Whiting, the commander of the naval station at that point, with headquarters at Honolulu. THE TIDE OF IMMIGRATION /^CKp of* tvrope- NortKot Lfrwe. ton. to America* <ic-crc^jcci inT--*- v' *--~c-7 ~--•* 1 -- fciori merest IbaJiettx element como; In the minds of the police and the Becret service officials, not to speak of the immigration authorities and po­ litical economists who are aware of the situation, the Sicilian question is fast becoming as pressing as the Chi­ nese immigration question was on the Pacific coast two decades ago. This year the immigration promises to overtop all records. The bulk of the immigrants are from the southern part of Europe. The Italians, includ­ ing Sicilians, lead all other nationali­ ties. The Sicilians are the principal source of trouble to the secret serv­ ice, for they do most of the manufac­ turing and passing of counterfeit mon­ ey in this country. The police say they are the hardest class of people they have to deal with, for the Mafia is all powerful with all the Sicilians, coercing those who are not affiliated with it quite as potentially as those who are known to be members of that secret organization. The immigration statistics for the month of March have just been made Has Lost American Accent The new Lady Yarmouth, now on her way to England, carries with her an accent to which she was almost a total stranger a couple of months ago. The former Miss Thaw, born in Pitts­ burg, used to speak like the average girl from the west or middle west, but his lordship has changed all that. Un- dei* his tutelage Lady Thaw has ac­ quired an accent which is said to be an excellent imitation of that com­ monly heard in London drawing-rooms, so that her new acquaintances there will be only reminded of her American origin occasionally. public, and they Indicate what many publicists, public officials and students of sociology affirm is bound to be­ come a menace if not checked ere long. The number of arrivals at New York last month was 91,666, or 14,178 more than in March, 1902, which was the record for that month. If the same ratio is maintained for the next eleven months, the popula­ tion of the United States will be in­ creased by more than one million through immigration in a year. What this means may be comprehended when it is stated that since 1820 the total number of immigrants coming here is twenty-one million. Italy furnished the greatest number of immigrants last month, as for some time past with a total of 30,766, or more than one thousand a day. The bulk of the Italian Immigrants come from the southern part of Italy and Sicily--the part known in the school geographies as "the boot" It begins to look as if we are feeling the weight of "the boot"--New York Herald. Ground Hog 8tudy Important. Col. Wamsley of Randolph county, Va., was excused from jury duty, to which he had been drawn, on an origi­ nal and unique excuse. The colonel keeps a ground hog and is testing Its reliability as a weather prophet, and coming to court in Elkins would greatly interfere with his study of the natural history of ground hog. Col. Wamsley claimed that science would probably lose more by breaking into his course of study than justice would gain by his jury service, and he was accordingly excused from serving on the jury. Germany in North China.

US WEEKLY PANORAMA FIFTY-SIX ARE DEAD. Number of Lives Lost In Disaster to Mining Town. The small mining town of Frank, in southwestern Alberta, was almost wiped out of existence early on the morning of April 29. Fifty-six of its inhabitants „ were killed by a mass of rock hurled from Turtle mountain, overhanging the town, which crushed dwellings and overwhelmed adjacent coal mines. A vast crevasse opened in Turtle mountain three-quarters of a mile long and many yards in width, and a vast mass of rock was precipi­ tated on the town below without a moment's warning. The Frank mines, operated by the French Canadian Coal company across the river from the town, were seen to be buried under hundreds of feet of rock, just as the morning light was breaking. Inside of five minutes from the first thunder* ous shock and before half of the town realized what had happened, a small force of men had started to the relief of the miners, despite the great risk thfey ran of being buried under tho rocks still precipitated from the lofty mountain top. The volunteer relief force was unable to get into the mine, but managed to get near enough to determine that not a man at the work­ ings had escaped death. Many had been fearfully mangled. Many bodies will never be found. Some cabins are buried under 150 feet of rock. Although organized efforts were made to search for bodies only nineteen have so far been recovered. Most were mangled almost beyond rec­ ognition. The yawning chasm,-three-fourths of a mile long, in the mountain, remains open. The direct monetary damage will exceed $1,500,000. The actual loss MENf?r L.Ff&WK Henry L Frank, the founder of the town of Frank, N. W. T., is a well- known resident of Butte, Mont. He is one of the most popular men in the West. He has been prominently mentioned in connection with the United States sen- atorshtp from Montana. He has always been aligned with the Clark faction, which has dominated the Democratic party In that state for some time. to the mine company will probably not exceed $200,000.

Emperor William has been taken to task for asserting in a recent after- dinner speech that he is "one of the youngest sovereigns of Europe." In fact, the German emperor stands about mid-way between the venerable King Christian and the boyish king of Spain. The rulers of Bulgaria, Portugal, Russia, Italy, Servla, Hol­ land and Spain are all younger than Emperor William. Not Fond of Red Tape. Melville W.
