turns, and stands watching the golden wine as
it flows into the vessel. Hal what is that 2
Rafting of metal! A dark figure rises behind
the cask, and the light plays upon the features
and armor of man!
With a cry of fear the maiden sinks upon her
knees. Mercy she stammers, half uncon-
scious, and raises her hands to the stranger, who
turns the spigot, lifts the pitcher to his bearded
lips, says, half laughing, By your leave" and
eagerly drinks the wine. With visible salts

again, and finally places the empty pitcher
under the spigot, turning it on anew.
Trudy at last found courage to glance up at
him as she knelt. The slender, youthful fig
ure of man stood before her, clad in iron from
head to foot. His helmet lay beside him. Long,
dark, waving hair, and thick, curly beard in
closed his lips and cheeks, while merry, spark
ling eyes at the same time brighten and re-
assure her. He thinks that this slight, child
like girl, with her sweet anxious countenance,
will not betray him; she will save him.

at last
Flying through the street, found your

At this moment Gesche's shrill voice was
heard at the head of the stairs calling her name

whispered. "Get me some straw for couch

She closed the door, and few like fright
ened deer up the cellar steps Gesche snatched
the pitcher angrily from her hand, and carried
it off. Trudy stepped out to the court and
breathed a sigh of relief, as she recovered from
her almost deadly fright She found the all

at the first little rosy clouds as they came into

CHAIRMAN MILLS WHIP.

CHAIRMAN MILLS WHIP.
The wool convention which meets In
Washington on Wednesday will try how
far Mills will carry out his determins-
tion as chairman Of the ways and means
committee, not to permit any repres-
entstions before that committee from
manufacturers and those interested in
legislation favorable to American indus
tries. Rather peculiar position for an
American congressman placed at the
head of the most important committee
in the national house OF representatives.
There Is no question that Mr.. Mills lie
very much In earnest in carrying out
the tariff views expressed In Cleyeland's
message, and 1t Is fully as certain that
the country at large does not endorse
those views. How far the democratic
whip can be trusted to keep the demo
cratic congressman 10 line remains, Of
course, to be seen. Mills has given fair
warning Of what will be the fate Of
those who presume to interfere with his
programme as set forth by his political
master, the president. This threat can
have but one meaning. Democrats who
oppose the Cleveland ILLS programme
will be spotted and ths walls OF govern
ment wrath be uncorked upon them In
the hour when such government or
party support will be most needed.
This will not prevent many democratic
congressman from following the strict
line of their constituents interest In
this matter. Even Texas NAV
be trusted to show some signs
Of revolt from such a vigorous
whip as this. Certainly Alabama,
Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas and Mis-
souri, will show some votes against a
sweeping reduction of the tariff as pro-
posed In the presidential recommends
tiOns, and fully carried out 10 the mind
OF the chairman Of the ways and means
committee. The country, democratic
ally considered, is by no means ready to
follow Mr.. Cleveland's lead, and every
day the evidence grows stronger that q
persistency In following out the line OF
policy foreshadowed and recommended
In the message will ALLEVIATE from that
party many Of its present sdherents. 1t
is certain that no majority can be seour-
ed in this present congress for any very
sweeping reductions. Upon whatever
class of products or Of manufactures this
reduction falls, those who are interested
in such industry and In the maintain
anOe OF the present protective duties
will feel very little like supporting a
policy which lays the axe to the root of
their business and, Gripping it beyond
recuperatlon, leaves 1t at the mercy Of
Its foreign competitors.
