The Empty Honor.
(SatSrSay's Ns,r Tork Hsutd.l


Mr.. Blaine's declaration, reported yester-
day in our Washington correspondence, that
the Republican nomination this year will be
an empty honor" and that he has no de-
sire for honors Of that sort, while it is in
keeping with his history as one who above
all things hates whatever presumed recep,
tacle of values may come to his. hand emp
ty, is just now the most notable fact in the
political situation, Indeed, it is so notable
a weight in the scale that no one will be
able to judge how the scale stands until
there has been an opportunity to observe
fully the effect Of what appears equivalent
to the decentralization of one of the most for
midable preteuders to the Republican nom
nation.

cents from Ned's pocket, this time
loud enough for Ellis to hear where it
came from. o
With sharp exclamation he put his
hand gently in the boys pocket, and
drew the poor, trembling little prisoner
out.
Jack pressed his lips to the soft tiny
head, look of delight chasing the
anxious shadow from his face.
Ned stood silently by, afraid to 60
without one word of pardon from Ellis,
his blue eyes dimmed with repentant
tears. his mouth still quivering with
suppressed sobs. "l.
"Jack." he said at length, plead
ingly, sorrowfully, Twill you forgive

Ellis started; for moment he had
forgotten the child; now a stern frown
settled on his brow. and he said very
gravely.

friend, would ever become a thief.

me still be your friend. You will never
find me SO ungrateful again. Forgive
me-"
Ellis's face softened and he placed
his hand on the child's bowed head.
II will pardon you this once" he
said, ''but if find you attempting to
take Speck from me by dishonest
means, you will never enter my door
again. Do you hearp"
"Yes. Thank you, Jack. You need
have no fear of my ever forgetting"
Ned answered.
Ellis smiled cheerfully, and with his
bird perched upon his shoulder, entered
the cottage happy ut having found his
pet.

outside.
Ned gladly accepted the invitation,
