ly separated as if an ocean rolled be-
tween them.
This night as Etheredge sat watch
ing Annie, and thinking of all this, he
noticed with a thrill Of pain that she
was u little paler, little more quiet
than usual. He remembered that
she had met Richardson at the pic
ture gallery that day.
Some magnetic influence in the
gaze of Etneredge made Annie look
up. She bIushed under the serene
Iustre Of those dark gray eyes, and
her fingers forgot their cunning and
dropped the ball of zephyr she was
unwinding. 1t rolled toward the
fret was genuine, oldtashioned
wood fire upon the hearth-and in
STOPPING to recover it, her light sleeve
dipped into the blaze. The flames
leaped up--Milton sprang forward,
caught her in lis arms, and crushed
out the fire.
She was frightened, weak, and diz-
zy with remembering what she had
escaped, and for moment She stood
encircIed by his arm, her hc&1 on his

cheek. lie pressed his lips passion

Preakness, in his first race in England, has
come in fourth, and that, if the statement
were taken alone and without consideration
of the circumstances, has an altogether I'M
satisfactory aspect. But for the sake of fair
play the circumstances must be considered.
This, in fact, is the case in any race but it
is pre-eminently the case in those English
handicaps where the programme is as full of
complications and points as piece of music.
Plain people are sometimes startled at a
queer result that happens occasionally in q
yacht race. They saw the race, perhaps,
and saw a given boat win. Then they went
home and told all about it and who the win
ner was. Next morning they read in the
papers that another boat, which came in sec
ond or third, or maybe fourth, was the win
ner Of the race. This is one Of the magic
operations of slime allowance" The boat
that really came in first was to give ten min
utes to the one that really came in fourth,
and rs she only beat her by nine minutes
and half the fourth boat wins by
half minute. weight for age" and
some points peculiar to the English handi-
turf to the simple straightforward result in
a horse race as this puzzle of time allow
ance has to aquatic sport. If for instance,
the race at Newmarket had been an equal
race, with discrimination only for age, Freak
ness, judged by what he really did, would
likely have won. But he carried half as
much again as was carried by the winning
horse. Once upon time they believed that
they had in England the best horses in the
world, and made allowance to foreign horses
on that score, but they have changed their
opinion. Now they assume that the fact that
foreign horse is brought to England is an
evidence that the horse is a first class one,
and they make this point the basis of the
first discrimination against him in the
weight. This is the reason why Preakness
carried 'thc top weight" in race where
there was another horse Of the same age
This new notion in British sport was intro
duced by Admiral Rous. At the same time
that the utmost ounce was thus put on the
American by this discriminating expression
Of national modesty other horses were pres
ent whose failures in previous years had en-
titled them to greater and greater favor till
they got down to feather weights. Horses in
England are put in to lose races year
after year, because every defeat entities
them to further favor in weight Thus Matt
land, in the first race he ever made, carried
one hundred and twenty-five pounds, or
only four pounds less than Preakness carried
on Thursday. That was rs two-year-old.
His defeat gave him in his next race six
pounds less to carry, and still he lost. In
subsequent races he carried seventy
pounds and ninety pounds, and at length

didate. The delegates from the States
included in the foregoing list can defeat Mr..
Tilden and have twenty-one votes to spare.
His nomination is possible only by
conciliating the West and disarming
its opposition. The fact that he is
ahead of his competitors is not an augury OF
success SO long as his friends cannot point
out the sources from which he can get two
thirds of the votes. He will have more than
rivals, and the result may be mutual
slaughter Of all the strong and respected
candidates and compromise upon some
weak and ridiculous political nobody.
Mr.. Tilden is bound to prevent this in
the interest of the party and of good gov
eminent.
The wisest thing he can do is to make o
close alliance with some Western statesman
of ability integrity and sound principles,
on the understanding that if, after repeated
trials, Governor Iilden cannot get the
requisite two-thirds, he will give his cordial
support to the favorite candidate of the
West He cannot be asked to make such an
alliance with democrat in whom he and
the country lack confidence; but his
friends can honorably come to such
an understanding with the friends of
Senator Thurman, who would make
an able and admirable President, and
whose policy in all it's main features would
be precisely that OF Governor Tilden. A
generous rivalry between two such men
would have no tendency to distract or divide
the party. Mr.. Tilden could prosecute his
canvass until he found his nomination inn
possible, and then, instead Of deadlock,
which could be loosened only by picking up
some obscure candidate, Mr.. Thurman
mightbe nominated by the aid of Mr.. Tilden's
friends. Mr.. Tilden would be q power in
the new administration, and would feel
nearly as much satisfaction in having placed
strong and worthy man at the head of the
government as he could have had in Sc
curing the highest place for himself 1t
seems necessary for the public good that
Mr.. Tilden and Mr.. Thurman come to q
good understanding on the generous basis
Of allowing each to do the best he can for
himself, but of keeping their rivalry within
such friendly limits that each can heartily
support the other at last, and save the party
and the country from the affection of a
small, obscure man at the head Of the gov
eminent. If they should at last mutually
abdicate their claims in favor of Mr.. Bayard
the public interests would be we'll served,
but the West would be better pleased with
the promotion of Senator Thurman.
