Without another word she left him. She
took the boy by the hand and went through
the gates of Lakewood House Hervey
watched her disappear, chuckled maliciously,
and STROBE off in the direction of Blacktown.
In mechanical way Mrs. Miller gave the
boy his dinner. She ate nothing herself, but
her lips moved as if framing words. and her
heart offered up its fervent but incoherent
and illogical prayers. Knowing that it was
Beatrice's custom to visit the nursery soon
after lunch and assure herself that her boy
had dined well, Mrs. Miller did not go i'll
search Of her. She listened for the expected
step, and when she heard it opened the door
and motioned her mistress to enter the
adjoining room, the night nursery. Sic fol-
lowed, and the look OH her face told Beatrice
what had happened.
1T has comes" she whispered, and turning
very pale.
Mrs. Miller threw herself on her knees,
and, taking Beatrice's hand, sobbed aloud.
''Oh, my poor dear! Ny poor DEAR" she

upon her almost like a dog. Her mistress
seemed scarcely to hear her wOyds--.Carccy

Mrs. Miller gave it word for word and
then handed her the paper with the address.

''He said nothing. But, oh, my poor dear
there was something in his manner that made

leaving the room. :.
She went to her bedroom, in which she
stayed for hours. Hours during which she

Senator Spooncr delivered his first
speech in the senate ON Tuesday,
being q eulogy upon the life and
public services of the dead Vice
President Hendricks, and did HIM
self proud by his display of oratory.
Although Il strong partisan himself,
Mr.. Spooner showed that he can
accord q political opponent the right
to differ with him in opinion, and
can respect him for his honesty OF
intention and other good qualities.
OF the delivery of this speech
The Chicago Times says:
PROFESSIONALLY the speech of the day was the

became a senator in years, and he became
senator only last March. lie had written ou

This clause. which was 50 clearly wol,iei
that even she could understand it, made
Beatrice glance at her husband. His facs
was pale, his hands were shaking, and all of
a sudden string Of fierce oaths dropped
from his lips y sharp pain ran through the
girls heart. Without . word she rose and
left him.
He soon followed her, spolosizei and he
Eeved he had pacified her, but his conduct
had planted in her heart the doubt-the most
painful doubt which a young wife can feel
that her husband had married her for her
money, not for herself.
The next day Hervey went TO town, on inn
portant business, he said. Beatrice naturally
resented the deSeruon, but not having been
long enough married TO know what fraud
that plea OF business often is, made no coIu-
plant Nevertheless, something told her
that her husbands business was III some way
connected with the will So the doubt be-
came all but certainty.

Is not sufficient 10 terminate the relationship
between a husband and wife of a fortnight's

should take lodgings in the nejshborhood,
TO which lodgings his wife could come as
pupil to a drawing master. The fellow had
by now resumed his mask and seemed to DO

But the mask had been dropped once, and
Beatrice, except i'll her conduct, was no fool.
She went back to her home with pain in
her heart, and feeling years older than when
she had left fortnight ago Mrs. ErSlline
manifested no interest in the visit to Bourne
mouth. She merely hoped that Beatrice had
spent pleasant time.
The girl felt very miserable; 4 kind of
dread, which she vainly strove to thrust
away, hung over her. She needed sympathy,
needed confidant Such q secret as Hers
was too great for one breast. SO she told her
maid Sarah what had happened. The woman's

her silence.
Mrs. Miller, who in spite of her religious

HON. JOSEPH RANKIN DEAD.

Congressman Joseph Rankin died
at Washington on Sunday after
noon. Deceased suffered from Sc
we're and painful sickness for many
months, and his death was not I'M
looked for, although the reports as
to his condition we're very conflict
ing and uncertain. He was born at
Passaic, New Jersey. September ID,
1888, and was consequently fifty
two years of age. He came to
Wisconsin in 1854, and settled at
Mishicott. He filed various local
Offices at different times; entered the
military service during the late re-
bellion, and served three years, and
at one time was inspector general
Of the department of the Mississippi;
served several years in the Wlscon-
sin state assembly; and was chairman
of the democratic state central COM
mittee in 1877. In 1882 he was
elected to congress from the fifth dis
trict, comprising the counties OF
Brown, Calumet, Kewaunee, Ozaukee
Manitowoc and Sheboygan, and was
returned to the present congress in
1914. He was a very influential
politician, and was popular not only
with his own party friends but with
men of all parties; and his death
will be widely mourned. His re-
mains were taken to his late home

favor by those among whom he visited.
He was told that in a certain part of
the county of Limerick, from which 1t
appears he came, there was crock OF
gold hidden under white thorn bush
in garden. which was SO clearly
pointed out to him, that there could bs

further told that among the gold was q
remarkable circular piece or coin, with
which he should return to Denmark, but
that he might become the possessor of
all the gold in the crock with the ex-
ception of that peculiar circular coin.
The Irishman was obedient to the
letter. He returned to Denmark with
the circular piece, and kept for himself
all but that. The Danes were reioiced.

"Gath" On Oar Literature.
Letter In Boston Glohe.l

Within the past ten years. instead of
making strong books and strong meat
for the mind, our publishers have been
giving us decoration books, all bursting
with illustrations. sensuous things, that
catch the eye and do not minister to the
soul. You can not make literature in
POUR country without sitting sincerely
down before it, working for long re-
suits, working carefully, with continu-
ity, and as other men have made litera-
lures. You can not make literature
with magazine articles, you can not
make it with pictures. After the litera-
ture is made your artist can come along
and illustrate successive editions of your
author, but | never heard of pictures
carrying the author to the seventh
heaven with them.
Literature will never amount to any,
thing in this country as long as it is
made sort of button hole bouquet car
ried into some prominence by a flimsy
society. The honest characters which
should in their ,interrninglings make
American literature are not to be found
around delicate dinner services. You
will find them eating off blue china in
the wales of your country. You will
find them in the shops, along the sea-
sides--eveE in the jails.

New York SUM-
Take your choice and pay your
money! the young salesman in brush
store remarked, pulling open one of the
many shallow drawers in the side of q
counter when the reporter, who de.
sired TO replace a shoe brush that had
lasted seventeen years, asked to see
some new brushes. ! The brushes were
neatly packed in rows with the vanished
backs up.
This one of horsehalr viii give the
best polish after it has been worked
down. Bristle brushes cost more and
last longer. Considerable shoddy goods
are put on the market, but they arc
soon found out. The makers use fiber
that soon becomes soft and fabby, and
sinking down, clogs the bristles. For
coarse brushes. such as scrubbing
brushes and mud brushes, the use of a
fiber called tampico, that comes from
Mexico, is legitimate.
Can bootblacks pick out good
brushesP
"Not always, OF course, many of
them are limited by the amount of their
cash; but bootblack who can pay for
what he wants goes according to his no.
tons more than by the quality of O
brush. He rubs one across his palm,
and If it hasn't the right feeling he tries
another. Some like stiff brushes.
others like flexible bristles. The artist
in an uptown hotel pays $5 a pair for
brushes. Brushes are high priced be-
cause most Of the work in making them
is by hand Tho best bristles come
from Russia. They are sorted and
bound into bundles that weigh from 900
to 200 pounds. Here we comb out the
bundles. A comb is firmly fastened to
bench, and the comber taking hand
fuls of bristles, draws them through the
comb separating the long bristles from
the short ones. Then they are washed,
and the best are bleached. Another
combing follows, and the bristles are
sorted again.
''The longest bfistles are seven inches
in length. They are used In paint
brushes. The block OF o shoe brush, as
the wooden part is called, Is shaped and
bored by machinery, but the knots have
to be drawn by hand. The workman
picks up as many bristles as will, when
doubled, fill one of the holes, and with
o wire around them pulls them doubled
through the holes and fastens them on
the back. When one row Is finished he
clips the ends even. Each row has to be
clipped with shears when finished. II
is difficult to get an even surface IL the
clipping is done after all the rows are
finished. The knots are secured with
cement, and when back of fine wood
has been yeneered on the brush Is fin
ished, with the exception of vanishing.
For all kinds of brushes the bristles OF
hairs have to be placed by hand. Amer
lean bristles are used only in cheap
goods. They are soft and fabby."
