FOR THE MOON.

CRYING tOR The MUM.
The strident voices of 400 looms would
seem to be too much for human nerves, but
the walls of the weave room Number Two of
the Breton mills are hung with soiled plaid
shawls and chip hats, the livery of the fac
tory girl. Their restless forms are busy
among the rafting machinery, their swift
cunning fingers moving harmlessly where
mutilation would seem certain. 1t is mere
matter of habit; one look at most of the set
pale faces would show there was no brain
force in exercise. Why, the overseer will
tell you those girls are as much machines as
the frames and betting; though they un-
doubtedly have one advantage for the en-
ployers, the girls are cheaper. Thewonder-
full mechanism of those looms, the skillful
system of belts and pulleys and the enor
nous water wheel cost fortune. Girls can
be bought in the market any day for a crust
of bread
Is not that figure familiar-the one that
stands this moment leaning against dingy
white pillar, while the rushing belts and slid
ing frames seem hurrying the faster all about
here Yes, on the piece OF wall between the
two Jail like windows nearest to her hangs
the plaid shawl Philip Breton had for a coun-
terpane only last night. Her dress is soiled
and i'll made, and her hair tied up in the
closest and ugliest coil to escape the greedy
machinery, ever reaching out for new vic
Tins. But the warm, soft tint of her cheeks
and the moist sheen in her black eyes were
always the same and many young man
would rather look at her this minute than
turn Off an extra cut, they call it, of cloth at
twenty cents.
Her days used to be more terrible to her
even than now. She had wished every morn
ing that she might die before night, and at
night that God would take her before morn
ing; take her, she cared not where; no place
could be worse, certain But she was slowly
growing, she thought, into the dead calm
that all the rest had learned; and yet how she
hated the great massive mills, irresistible
giants that held her with deathless grasp,
grimly contemptuous of her writings and
foolish struggles. The overseers, too, how
she hated them; their sharp words stung her
like the lash % 20 many taskmasters, and the
paymaster wht aoled out TO her the few dol
lars the wages a her blood and life, as if
that could be patio Cor. She had longed so
many times to throw back his money in the
smiling, patronizing face; but the poor can
not afford the dearest Of al luxuries, pride
Suddenly the mill bell rang out above the
roar Of the wheels, and at its voice the looms
stopped, the breath of their life taken away,
and the belts ceased from their endless race.
Another days work was closed, and the
poor girls hurried ca their shawls and hats

Curran laughed, hut gently, as he took her

consciously, vet no man can DO wholly care

at is only because women are moro foolish
than rlea, not because they are more de-

surd mistakes
She smiled on him as radiantly as n red
petaled rose unfolding its glowing heart to
the morning sun--the sun that gives every
thing and wants nothing, and stood half
turned watching his retiring form. Theroae

once a brick saw1nill, which had shorn tho
hills and valleys around OF their pride, now a
favorite trusting place for lovers of moon
light nights like this would be. Curran was
fust entering under an arch, where once had
swung a heavy oaken door which long age
had served some shivering family for g
weeks firewood
He went in and did not once turn How
cruel men are Perhaps, she told herself, he
is to meet there some messenger of the Great
league he had told her about, and they will
plan together some bold stroke. 1t was
beautiful to have such power, even II 1t madc
him forget this ono poor girl, whose heart
longed SO eagerly for another smile
The whole world seemed gloritied to tho
girl as she walked on. She had loitered SO
long that the sun was now almost setting,
with his flowing robe of carmine about him,
and the whole landscape seemed in rapture
of silent worship. Jane Graves was like one
In n dream-her home, which she could tell
from its cheap dreary counterparts, might
have been a palace; the path along in front
of it. beaten by SO many faltering footsteps,

But down the hill comes great white

that was the young man Bertha Ellingsworth

Bertha Ellingsworth had not seen Curran."
"Did he lift his hat TO mel" She looked
inauiringly about her. "There is no one
else, and his black eyes seemed to know me,
too; how odd" thought the girl, as she
walked on more hastily, and the horse and
its rider disappeared in n cloud of dust.

he opened his eyes wide. 1t could not be he
was going to sleep, the bed was too hard
absurd-there could be no danger. But in
five minutes the heir of the Breton mills was
sound asleep in John Graves garnet room
How long he had slept Philip had no more
idea than Rip Van Wrinkle ON former occa-
sion; indeed it took him q ridiculously long
time TO separate dreams and facts enough to
get his bearings Was that moonlight in che
east, or dawn2 Perhaps the family were all
up and escape would be impossible. He
bounded to his feet and clutched at his false
whiskers, but alasl his paint was all dis
solved in the tin basin. His only chance was
in getting away unnoticed, and in two min
utes more he was cropping out of his little
room and down the steep stairs, boots in
hand. He slowly opened the door into the
sitting room. What if Graves stood within
curiously watching. An odd guest, this,
stealing out before daybreak. Again Philip
wished he had stayed at home that night.
Thank Godi no one was in the room. There
was the cracked, rusty stove and the sofa the
sick woman had lain upon; there was the
dish of cold potatoes on the table and the
chair he had sat in while he tried to eat But
somebody must be up in the inner room;
stream of light made white track through
the half open door. Would that bolt never
slip-there. 1t slipped with vengeance, and
Philip drew back into the staircase in mortal
terror. The light streak on the floor began
to move, and in a moment more a white
figure stood ON the threshold of the bed
room. 1t was Jane Graves, with her long
black hair about her neck and white night
dress, and her eyes glistening brightly. She
held the lamp above her head, and let her
drapery cling as fondly as it chose about
form that would have charmed a sculptor.
As she listened he could see her wavy hair
rise and fall over her beating heart. Would
she notice the open stair door and come for
warda What then2 He must push her rude
ly to one side. He imagined her startled
screams and the fathers figure hurrying into
the scene from another room to seize the in
terloper. No, she returns to her room. In
another instant he has opened the door and
is walking along the street. His escape was
well timed, for the gray dawn of another day
of toll and WEAKNESS is creeping over the
factory village.
The houses were all alike, the front doors
rust as soiled, the steps equally worn, the
paint the same cherries yellow to shade.
Through the windows Of one of them he
caught glimpse of tall gaunt woman
building the kitchen fire, her face and form
lighted up by the flames she was nursing,
His ready imagination pictured the wan
featured man who must be her husband, out
of whose eyes had faded so many years ago
the last lingering CLEAN of tenderness. He
imagined their old faced, joyless children be-
grudged the scant play hours of childhood.
Trooping behind them all, he pictured a long
line of special wants and sorrows, the COM

70 outward appearances it seems that
the two families are on good terms, but
their intimate acquaintance know that
this is not q fact Ii is an interesting
story and wonder how il never before
found It's way into print. Ii begins at
time when Ed. $. Stokes, the popular
aud generous proprietor Of the Hoffman,
House, killed jim Fisk. Upto the time
of this SD affair Stokes's family were
greatly proud of him. Owing to Fisk's
well.knowu generosity and popularity
public opinion was for time inclined
against Stokes. His family and friends
were not SLOW to SEQ this and they worked

Republican nominee will be the man.
He was nominated without opposition,
evidencing his great popularity IN his
native State. His father, Paul Dllllng-
ham, who is living at the age OF eighty
nine years, was Governor OF Vermont
many years ago. 1t is likely that the Old
gentleman will live to see his son adj
vanced to the same dignity.
William Paul Dillingham; is resident
OF Waterbury, where he was born. He
is forty-fye years old. After receiving
a superior education he read law in the
office Of tho late Senator Matthew n.
Carpenter, of Wisconsin. with whom he
spent two years. He then returned to
Vermont, and. in 1867, was admitted to
the bar OF that Commonwealth. Mr.
Dillingham; has been q successful lawyer
while not neglecting tho diligent per
Torrance Of those public duties the dis
charge of which has been intrusted to
him.
His public life began in 1874, when
Governor Peck appointed him Secretary
Of Civil and Military Affairs. He has
served in both branches OF the Vermont
Legislature. Since 1892, when the cor
poration-tax law was enacted, he has
been Commissioner Of State Taxes. His
incumbency Of the Office OF States attor-
ney for Washington county assisted his
reputation rs a vel-read lawyer and able
speaker. Mr.. Dillingham; has been
prominent in the promotion OF educa-
ton and temperance. 1t is confidently
expected that his election will be by an
increased vote u bis party.
