GYou must suffer greatly, and 1 pity you
from tue bottom Of my heart" said Lacroix
gently.
"I do not need or want your pity. The
whole past life of my husband proves his in
noccncc. An honest man docs not become a
murderer from one day to another without
motives. You cun accuse him, arrest him,
try him in tho courts of justice, but he will
pass through all with clear name. But it
pains me to think of all this unmerited
trouble"
"Assassin without motives? Do you know
anything about your husbands business,
madame?" With this he placed before her
the accusing letters She read them Us in q
dream, and she understood all, but she said
no word. though she could not suppress q
gesture of horror.
"Now, madame, I shall be obliged, even in
spite of my own wish, to interrogate your
little girl We will go to your house, as she
is too III to come here"
NJ. Lacroix accompanied Henriette to the
villa and went with her to the parlor.
"So, then, you wish to speak with Suzannel
You wish to question her, although tell
you she is sick?'

slowly to her bed room. Suzanne was there,
and sprang to her mothers arms, and as she
kissed her Henriette whispered in her ear,
Remember" They then returned to the
room, and Henrette said:
$50, my child, to this gentleman and
answer whatever he asks you"
Suzanne advanced timidly and placed her
self between the knees of NJ. Lacroix, who
put his arm around her and kissed her fore
head kindly. "She has her lesson and will
say nothing" thought he. Gently he spoke
putting his hand beneath the little chin SO as
to look full into the lovely eyes of the child:
aDo you remember what you did night be-
fore last, little one?"
She reflected moment, and then answered
in firm, clear voice:
"Why, yes, sir. I played in the garden,
and watcrcd my flowers, and I made big
bouquet of roses for the dinner table, and
then 1 played with my new big doll, which
mamma gave lie that morning because was
seven years old that day. And then helped
mamma and we made my doll a lovely blue
satin dress, and we put it on, and wo made
her hat just like it. That was all, think" )"
"But in the erening-after the lamps were
ighted?"
II did nothing. 1 staid by mamma, who
was teaching me verse to say to papa; but 1
did not say it until the next morning, because
papa did not come home until was i'll bed"

looked at her with regard which said plahi-

And with Lacroix she went out on the bal
cony. Opposite, in the little room, seated
before his secretary, was man occupied with
his papers. This was Tristot. Behind him
burned the candle which shed its light. La
croix touched Suzanne's shoulder. "Look,
child! fyou have seen you will remember" "
Then came up the street tall man, with q
high gray hat, gray coat with cape. This
was Pivolot. in Rogers clothes. One by one
the dreadful scenes Of this drama were worked
out with remarkable force and precision.
"One can see perfectly WELL" said Lacroix,
"and it is evident, if they were, as Victoria
says, on this balcony, they saw ALL"
During this time he held Suzanne by the
hand He hoped that she would show some
emotion, make some movement, but not one
did she make. Then he leaned over gently
and looked at her closely, and found that her
eyes were tightly closed, and she held them SO
with such force that her little face was one
mass of wrinkles. She had willed not to see,
and she had not seen!
Sublime child" murmured the magistrate;
"she has conquered me-"

A stylshly dressed young lady, leaning
on the arm of gentleman, stood the
other night gazing intently on two dark
skinned Mexican girls as they worked,
rapidly rolling backward and forward
with stouc rolling pin on an inclined
stone putty like substance, over which
at intervals they would sprinkle few
grains of corn.
Il didn't know that bread was made in
that way" remarked the young lady to
her companion, and the gentleman, prob
ably through fear of displaying his igno-
rance, made no reply. The Mexican girls,
however, paid no attention to the remarks
that were made, but continued rolling
the grain and making it into dough by
sprinkling water over it, and the crowd
of spectators watched them until, finally
realizing that life was too short to wait
for any practical results from so slow and
laborious process, they wandered off to
examine the products Of Aztec civiliza-
ton. Philadelphia Times.

But 1t was too much for the child She
stopped, suddenly, and putting her hand to her
throat, looked for one moment at her father
with an unspeakable fear, and wita hoarse

her eyes set. Henriette seized her while Roger

said Henriette in q husky voice, as SIZE feared
that the doctor might divine the cause OF the

Unhappy man! if he does love us he must
suffer horribly!"
After q while Suzanne grew better, and
Roger had to 60 to his business. Every
morning he took the 9 o'clock train for

America.
A "reminiscences of Daniel Webster,
never told before in print, was related
here the other day by contemporary
of the Massachusetts, senator. 1t illus
trates more fOrcibly than any hitherto
recorded the extraordinary influence
of his Oratory. Webster had given a
friend his note for 5000. A misery old
Whig-the richest man in Alexandria
bought the paper at sharp shave. He
admired Webster and trusted him. The
note matured. The senator could not
pay. The miSer dunned Webster per-
sistently, but without effect. Mr.. Web
ster made positive appointment to
meet him one morning, but was not to
be found either at his home or in the
senate.
The nOte-holder was walking away
from the capitol in despair when he
saw Webster approaching with head
high in air, eyes Sunken with a far-away
look, lips parted and teeth showing in
broad smile. The old Wing lost courage
and passed without recognition.
Next morning, inc perusing the
newspaper, he read Webster's
reply to Hayne. At once he
took the orators note and tore it to
pieces, so prodigiouS was the effect of
the splendid philippe. Another friend
once found Webster reading law with
s. and $40 bills as boOk-marks in the
volume before him.

ONLY ONE week MORE.
The Exposition Of 1888 Is Nearing a
Successful Close.
NO LET UP IN ATTENDANCE.
The Danz Band and Exposition 0rches-
ira C0ncerts---This Weeks
Attractions.

The Exposition has been thronged for
the past two days, and as only week
of the great show remains, it
is more than likely the attendance
will daily reach the high water mark.
The special features for next week en-
brace some of the most interesting
events of the Exposition, and several
additional attractions have been en-
gagged.
Yesterday special exercises were held
in honor of Emancipation day, in which
the colored people of the city partici-
pated. There was an address by Rev.
j. M. Henderson, vocal music and
selections by Cappa's band. The
orphans of Minneapolis to the number Of
400 were present by invitation and were
given dinner by Regain Bros. in the
afternoon. In the evening Cappa's
band gave it's farewell concert. The
programme rendered was superb one,
and the immense audience was lavish
in its applause. The band as musical
organization is one of the best ever got
ten together in America, and it is not
saying anything in detriment to the
other attractions of the Exposition to
assert that it's concerts have been the
most enjoyable feature. The class of
music has been of high order through
out, admirably selected and grandly
executed, while Prof. Cappa and his
musicians have won the general re-
spect by their department., as we'll as
admiration by the ability displayed.

The Trades Assembly Criticises
the North Minneapolis Sewer
Tunnel.
The North Minneapolis sewer tunnel
is now receiving the attention of the
Trades and Labor assembly. At tbs
last meeting of that body a communica-
ton reciting the efforts the assembly
had made to secure an investigation of
the sewer work was presented and i'm
dOrSed. The document stated that
plain evidence points to-day to the
fact that the assembly was right
in its charges, and gentlemen who have
recently been called upon to investigate
the possibility of putting the work
through, now publicly state that, while
they had heard charges of gross incom-
petence on the work, they were UMPIRE
pared to find so many marks of childish
incapacity as shown in the last work
attempted on the tunnel."f The COM
munication further states that
the public now have their eyes
open, Notwithstanding the news
paper gush and sentimental bosh
uttered by Mr.. Rinker'S admirers when
he rendered his resignation" 1t goes
on to detail the fact that the foreman on
the work, "Mr. Edwards, is still holding
down a comfortable position at the
terminus of the tunnel, drawing a sal
airy of $40 per month, while the only
work he does is involved in drawing
the amount in semi-monthly INSTALL
ments," and proceeds to show the ex-
travagance of retaining him in the posi-
ton, ito which his past work on the
sewer does not recommend him, and
which is not warranted by his peculiar
fitness for successful sewer work."

ART GALLERY JOTTINGs.

Some of the "Gem Corners "---
The Fruit Pictures.
The art gallery divides the honors
with the musical attractions at the Ex-
position. Art Director Smith receives
well-merited praise for the choice selec-
ton and arrangement of paintings on
exhibition. But few criticise, while all
find much to admire. The attendants
in the art rooms add to the pleasure of
the visitor by assisting strangers in
finding looked-for paintings, and an
swerlng questions concerning art or
artists. Mr.. Smith has been present
much of the time, and effected
a number of sales. Some of the choice
paintings will remain in Minneapolis
and grace the drawing rooms of our art
loving citizens. The "Gem Corner" Of
old masters is an ever-increasing de-
light and an art educator to visitors.
Mrs. S. Campbell Gerard, who is in
attendance in the room devoted to them,
Is a daughter of the owner of the paint
ings, and is thoroughly conversant with
the history of each. An hours visit
with this cultured lady amid pictures
from Tintoretto, TenierOs, Titan, Velas-
quez and Murillo is an episode in the
llV6S Ol lldlly uOt SOOu W U0 lOISOttcu.
The Titan Lost Magdalen" is one
of the most interesting paintings ever
brought to Minneapolis, and is the
gem picture of the art gallery. Col.
n. S. King in securing it for this ex-
hibition, .'tallies one more" in the
number of good things he has done for
the success of the Exposition.
The Walker collection is "Gem
Corner" and to many the most at
tractive. Every picture is the work of
a great artist and deserves special at
ton. Vibert, Jazet, Crockepierre; ;
Rosa Bonheur, Won Marcke, Verboeck-
hoven, Schreyer, Knaus and others
equally good of old world artists, are
represented, as well as the modern
American artists, j. G. Brown and
Arthur Parton.
A number of excellent ffuit pieces at
tracted much attention. G. P. Ream
stands at the head of the world as fruit
painter.
An artist having an earned reputation
was heard to say few days since, In
reply to remark from lady, that a
plate of peaches painted by him were
thought to be ''Reams."
''Thank you'll No higher compliment
could be paid me than to mistake my
painting for Ream's."

Prof. Danz's reputation as leader
and musician is too well known
to require any introduction
and is a sufficient guarantee that the
high standard of the Exposition con-
certs is to be maintained. Monday is
called German day" because of its
dedication to that nationality, but it
could be more appropriately termed
musical day, for upon no day since the
opening of the Exposition have there
been such elaborate and varied musical
features. In addition to the band con-
certs, the Exposition chorus of 275
voices, under the leadership of Prof.
Richard Stempf, will give its first con-

How Notorious Uptown Resort
Lost One OF Its Pretty Inmates
New York Herald
There is in Thirty-secOnd street a no
torious resort presided over by wo-
man, whose real name was buried in
oblivion many years ago, when she first
entered upon the existence which is
leading her to speedy death. The
house is massive, and the appointments
are rich and elegant.
On Friday evening the front parlor
was occupied by two men. One of them
was middle-aged man of benevolent
mien, who gaZed at his surroundings in
terrOr-Stricken manner aud furtively
wiped a tear from his eye, while he
looked appealingly at his companion
tall fellow, with fat, good-natured
face, under whose sack coat was pinned
badge that admitted him instantly to
any suspicious place.
1t was a police badge, and the tall
man was Tom Hayes, one of Captain
Rellly'S detectives, who was on this oc-
caslon. on Semi-profeSSional and
wholly merciful errand.
The proprietresS swung back the
portiereS and faced the two men, ex-
claiming:
''You wish to see me, sir? What is
your business with me?''

seventeen years, whose blonde and
curly hair Swallowed face in which
there was only childish innocence, ell

her grief-stricken parent like one who

self confronted with the stern reality
OF the wages of sin.
Few were the words the old man ut
tered, but each one carried into the
heart of that girl lesson which may
result in changing the whole course of
her hayward career. Then the father
told her to go back to her room and take
OFF the gilded trappings that she wore,
and when she had put on her ordinary
she would find with him the
shelter that She had abandoned.
Tears were flowing freely from
the old mans eyes as he grasped the
hand of big Tom Hayes and thanked
him for returning the hayward child.
Then he and his daughter left the
house, and, arm in arm, walked slowly
down the street, and were lost sight of
in the hurrYing throng on Sixth avenue.
Tom Hayes says That iii the nine
months that he has been in that precinct
he has worked on at least twenty SINH
lar cases.
