A large audience greeted the novelty
troupe known as the Devils Auc-
ton" at the theater last night, aud
only few were ladies, yet there was
nothing in the performance to shock
the sensibilities of the most fastidious,
or any other class as to that. 1t was
a merry kind Of a gathering, and each
individual in attendance appeared
DESTROYS of knowing what in
duced his particular acquaintance
to be on hand. There was no rudeness
or bad behavior on the part of the
people, either off or on the stage; and
the programme of the players, while
not very impressive or overly meritori-
Gus in any respect, yet was fair and
varied, The Devils Auction" will
perform again tonight, also tomorrow

The Chances In Ohio.

The campaign in Ohio starts out ia
vorably for the Republicans undouht
edly. The successful working of the
Scott liquor law, the dissatisfaction
which prevails so widely in the Demo
cratic ranks, and the stories about the
corrupt use of money in obtaining
places on the ticket are all elements
favorable to Judge Foraker. But the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette is un-
deniably right in warning the Republi-
cans that they must not trust to these
alone for success.
1t says that the Democracy will be
well supplied with money this year and
that it will be put out with skill and
shrewdness. How far it will counteract
the conditions how unfavorable to the
Democracy remains to be seen.
OF one thing the Republicans can be
sure. There will be no amateur work
this year, such rs was seen in the Book
walter campaign. Another class Of
men have hold of the crank now, and
the Republicans win be compelled to
put forth their best efforts if they want
to win.

every hour is OF importance So
write to you, my darling, to ask You q
question : will you be my wife, Amy
Will you come to Thornton Hall to live
leave your native land for my sake
If you will, write to me at once that
may receive the letter as soon after my
arrival at Thornton Hall as possible.
God bless you, and may we soon meet
again, never more to part. Yours,
CYRIL THORNTON"
Then followed the English address.
For a time Amy Allen sat like statue,
incapable of words.
She understood it all now how the
letter had been received and placed in
the old secretary by some careless or
over-careful hand, and had lain their
all these months-three weary years.
And he had loved her all this time,
while she believed that he had been
trifing with her; and now it was too
late.
Believing that she had Tilted him, he
had married in Europe and was coming
home with his wife.
She crumpled the letter in one hand
and without a word rushed from the
house down to the old orchard, and
threw herself upon the grass at the foot
of a gnarled old apple tree.
The sounds of footsteps aroused her,
she glanced up, and her heart stopped
beating, for it was Cyril Thornton. He
grew visibly pale as he removed his
hat then he drew nearer.
"Miss Allen, he said, calmly, 81
A. 20 I Il

here this morning) that you were my

haste abou. changing your residence. y
81 shall go tomorrow !" she painted
turning suddenly.
As she did so the letter dropped from
her hand. With courteous bow, ht
stopped to pick 1t up to restore it his
eyes fell upon the handwriting; he
started and his face grew deadly pale.
Some impulse prompted Amy.
"I have just received 1t, she falter-
ed " found it hidden away with old
papers, where some one had placed it for
safe keeping, and So"
She broke down and buried her face
in her hands. Cyril Thornton caught
ner IN Ills arms.
"Thank God!" he cried, earnestly.
ooh, Amy, my darling, have always
loved you; say that you will be my
wife
She struggled 70 free herself, her face
pale, her eyes blazing.
"Sir!" she cried, scOrnfully, when
she could find voice. chow dare you ?
Where is Mrs. Cyril Thornton 2"
"Here !" he answered, laying his
hand upon her arm. "for no one else
shall ever be! Amy, have not waited
long enough, and suffered enough, for
your sake-to win you now ?"
"Who Is the Mrs. Thornton that
came with you?" gasped Amy,
beginning to think that she was dream
ing.
A light flashed into the young man $
mind he smiled.
"Yon are doubtless referring to my
all t, Mrs. Thornton," lie replied. "She
came home with me to keep house for
me could not live alone, Amy, hut
all that will be remedied now, for there
will be Mrs. Cyril Thornton, if only
you consent. We will make perfect
paradise out of the I'D place, darling,
and we will procure the best medical
advice for Minnie; and oh, We shall
be so happy
So Amy Allen married her landlord,
and happy marriage it turned ont to
be. For after the long separa ion and
misunderstanding they knew how to
appreciate happiness, and, as Minnie
says, everything turned out for the best
after all -
