convulsive sob, as if her larynx had slipped

felt his whole being thrill as it never thrul be-

'Neverw he exclaimed, with face that would
have earned him $40 week as the villain of an
"Uncle Toms Cabin company.
They were in st. Louis, these two, but they
were to be pitied rather than condemned for
that. They were born there, and knew no bet

families while Gladyss father had made for
tune by inventing patent corkscrew. They
were we'll matched, and the world said that
when CASTOR Montespan led the lovely heiress to
the altar the good old city of St Louis knew no
happier proprietor of ''soft snap" than he.
They were sitting in the twilight now, and the
cleaning was just beginning its usual cloam,
while the purple haze of coming night was doing
business at the old stand. As Gladys uttered
the words with which our story opens she stood
with one white arm about Gaston's neck while
in the opposite hand she held slipper of white
satin. The satin had originally been intended
for ball dress, but GLADYS found there was a
a pair of slippers for herself, SO the ball dress
scheme was abandoned and the slippers were
made instead

5:2O, an hour behind the time of the programme
An audience of about three thousand people was
assembled in Music Hail. The meeting was an
all-afternoon affair addresses being made by Mr..
Davis, candidate for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and
others Mr. Blaine said:
''The political contest in Pennsylvania this
year bears very striking analogy to that which
we closed in Maine in September. We had
Republican party in the field. We had Demo
cratic party in the field, and we had third
party in the field processing special devotion
to the doctrine of prohibition. Maine has been
prohibition State for thirty years. and the third
party Prohibitonists In this country seemed to
think they had a particular patent right upon
all temperance TOPICS and they came to
Maine to persuade US, prohibitory State that
the Republican party had better be dispossessed
OF power, and the cause of temperance handed
over to the tender mercies and kind care of the
Democratic party. l find the same condition of
things In this State, with the exception that
PENNSYLVANIA has never pronounced in favor of
prohibition; but we find third party organized
Tor this purpose, and with the declared intention
OF defeating the Republican party and of bring
Ing the Democratic party into power. Now,
Whatever you may think, whatever may think
or whatever anyone else may think as to the ex-
pediency or inexpediency of prohibition we will
all agree that the one party in the United States
which has never done anything for the cause of
temperance is the Democratic party. Applause
And here IN Pennsylvania, as before in Name
the third party organized especially to promote
temperance, works OBVIOUSLY to the end of
throwing IL all over into the control of the nat
ural. perpetual and inherited enemies of tenn
perance.
1.-THE latorngmen of this State and Of the
Northern States are about entering on another
question. They are about entering on ques-
ton of great and impressive magnitude-that is
with the power of the national government in
the hands of the Democratic party, there is no
possible hope for the rise or progress of nearly
two million of colored laborers il the South.
They give them no vote, they give them no
voice, they give them influence They keep
them living in huts starvation wages and
they are hurrying them by the millions into
competition with Northern men. Now. if the
Democratic party holds the government of this
country and keeps that labor as seryile az IL was
when the chains of slavery were
fastened upon 1t, its competition
with the white labor of this
country will grow more and more fierce and
zesye and more will they have to confront this
: { q and important truth-that either the great
