ilaif' ana waited patiently for the
summons. When it came, with a
role OF music under her arm. and
flush on her innocent face, and
a scared, almost hunted express
sion IN her eyes, she descended
and timidly opened the drawing
room door, then stood for a mo-
mant, staring in establishment.
There sat the heiress, with an
eager, pleased expression on her
face. and leaning over her, talking
and laughing, but more soldier
looking and handsomer than ever,
was Alic Granger. The color
rushed to Maggie's face and then
left it altogether. She recovered
herself, however, and walked with
great dignity to the piano. She
felt rather than saw him raise his
dark eyes and look at her, and the
next m 1ment she saw him at her
side.

"Do you really know Miss Dun

up and speaking in the coolest
manner possible.
"Why, of course, 1 de-; we have
been playmates almost ever since
we were BORN
"Oh, Indeed, how interestingly

you be 50 kin as to bagin waltze,
Miss Dunlop? This was our
dance, l think to Alic, and she
sailed off with him.
The next morning, to Maggie's
great surprise, Miss Patterson
came into the school room before
the children hal assembled.
"Miss Danlop," she said stif1ly,
81 should Ike to know where you
say you met Mr.. Granger?'
"At Perlock. His uncle lived

swept out Of the room without
deigning to reply.
Then Maggie crept off to her
room and crieI till her eyes were
red and her head achel.
The lessons did not progress
that morning. Maggie was think

as Maggie was deep in the eccen-

there was knock at TIE door.

The door opened and there
stood Allie, and behind him man

box on his shoulders.
"All right, Tom, put it down;

SECRETARY BAYARD has received
information Of unusual activity
among Mormon missionaries
throughout all Switzerland. That
their preaching has not been
wanting in fruits is shown by the
fact that in 1885 there were in
Switzerland %wenty-eight elders
and priests, thirty-four teachers,
eleven servants and 52l members;
ninety-f five converts were baptized
and ffty-two emigrated to Utah.
Mormonism, it will thus be seen,
has taken deep root among the
Swiss people. Even children of
tender years are enrolled AID
women's aid associations have
been organized as adjuncts to
Swiss Mormonism.

Stranger than Fiction.

The saying, that "truth is
stranger than felton," is fully ex-
eTlplifed in the following incident
which we find in the Atlanta
journal: "On the occasion of
decorating the graves of the dead
soldiers at Marietta, Ga, on
May 3lst last, quite a number
were present, not only from this
city, but from all parts of the
Union. Among them was vet
eran who wore the blue, named
Ezekiel Berry, from Ohio. Nat
urally he visited the National
Cemetery. As he inspected the
Roster OF the dead buried there,
he was surprised to find his own
name, regiment, company,
rank and all correctly stated. He
then found the grave with the
headstone marked fer him, and
with solemnity decorated it. As
he pllced the flowers
there on the gave of
the unknown dead, buried for
him, tears of gratitude streamed
from his eyes, as he remembered
that he was badly wounded in the
battles near Marietta and reported
in the list of killed, and that after
protracted suffering he finally re-
covered and went home, The
body Of some one else found on
the battle field was supposed to
be his, and inferred under that

The proposition submitted to the

attention, but It is not probable that 1t
will he generally regarded as practicable.
The proposed Congress, II the plan sub

thirty-eight members, whose duty it
would be to carefully scrutinize every
bill introduced into Congress, discuss it,

workIngmen were in any way interested
in it, aud try to get the suggestions
adopted.
The proposers Of this plan clearly know
little about legislation at Washington, or
the difficulties attending it. The thirty
eight Labor Congressman would hard y

good lobbyists. They would get plenty
OF promises, and that is about all. In
fact, in he short time they would he there

given to Its wishes, but If Congress did
not choose to comply with it's requests
ways would be found to pretend to COM

II, however, the Richmond convention
should think well of the proposition it's

There is feeling among workingmen

that in the competition in trade and the
struggle for wealth there is little or nc

of capital is to get what it can from labor

The Face Problem at Richmond.

The Face Problem at Richmond.
The Richmond convention has another
little problem to solve. 1t is not quite so
great one az that which it is trying TO
solve, but it may b. quite troublesome
before its solution is reached. IL is
color line, social equality problem, ana
was presented by a New York city dele
cation of knights, Tine wnite delegates
of this delegation insisted that, 10 the
entertainment of their delegation, there
should be no distinction on account
Of color. That made trouble at once. At
| Richmond the colored people are well
treated, but are not received at public
! places Of amusement and at the hotels on
an equal footing with white people. This,
doubtless, was known to the white New
York delegates, AID if they had desired
peace ana harmony they would have in
timated 10 their colOred delegates that 1t
would be well for them to respect the pre-
vaIling sentiment of the city relative to
the color line.
Since the color question has been raised
all the colOred delep al ties and all the col
ored local Knights probably Insist upon
being rec gnized as the social equals OF
the white Knights upOn all occasions.
There is no reason to appre trouble
before the night OF the ball, at which the
visiting knights are to be entertained.
As the local colored Knights nave con-
tributed the larger part of the money for
this entertainment it may he tnat some Of
them may insist upon dancing upon The
same floor with the white people. and sit
ting with them at table. II there is no
disturbance, and no opposition from the
white portion of the company, expecta-
ton will be disappoioted.
A race disturbance would have bad
influence upon the work of the conven.
ton. 1t seems remarkable that where
trouble could have been 80 easily avoided
means were not taken to avoid 1t. II the
color question mad not been raised the
colored knights would not have felt hu
inflated by conforming to the customs
Of the CITY in race matters, 1t may be
that the managers o! the convention VIII,
upon second thought, ask that the ball
be omitted from the programme, ii there
is reason to think that it will be the cause
Vi bbu leellnH.
There is something for Knights of Labor
all over the country tn think OF in this
matter. IL is, that if they stick to their
organization they may be forced to sub
nit TO many things which may not b.
agreeable to them. The knights who
marched to the Richmond theatre
with the cOlored delegate at
their head said by their action
that they had no respect for the senti.
ments of the people OF Richmond, or OF the
local white KNIGHTS, 80 far as the social
equality question is concerned. They
took it upon themselves to show the
Richmond knights and the Southern
delegates their contempt for South
ern opposition to social recognition
of colored people. and they did it in very
aggressive, not to say offensive, way. 1t
NAV be we'll for Southern knights to in
| quIre whether it is the purpose OF the
| Knights Of Labor to settle social, as well
as labor questions.
