Kendall resisted little more, but it seemed
as IL Marie's motherly carefulness over the
bright creature who had charmed her had
passed into Paul. He was saying what Marie
would have said, taking thought as she would
have taken it for one she loved, and it was
ssttled as he wished.
When his long pacing In the Champs
Elysees was over Kendall went back to find
Paul busy with his wifes letters and trinkets,
turning them over with q look OF shivering
forlornness, as though the thought OF the un-
companioned lifetime to como were already
closing upon him like some deadly chill in
the air. Beside him lay two miniature cases
open; one of them was the case which Eustace
had received from his sisters hand on the
afternoon before her death, and both Of them
. contained identical portraits Of Marie in her
first brilliant womanhood

The Little High Chair.


There was an auction at one of the
down town auction houses recently.
A pale, sad faced woman, in a plain
calico gown, stood in a crowd. The
loud voiced auctioneer finally came
to a lot of plain and somewhat worn
furniture. 1t had belonged to the
plain woman, and was being sold to
satisfy the mortgage on it. One by
one the articles were sold, the old
bureau to one, the easy rocker to an
other, and a bedstead to a third.
Finally the auctioneer hauled out a
child's high chair. 1t was old and
rickety, and as the auctioneer held it
up everybody laughed-everybody
excepting the pale faced il A
tear trickled down her cheek. The
auctioneer saw it, and somehow a
lump seemed to come in his throat,
and his gruff voice grew soft. He re-
membered a little high chair at home,
and how it had once filled his life with
sunshine.
1t was empty now. The baby laugh,
the two little hands that were once
held out to greet papa from the
high chair were gone forever. He saw
the pale-faced woman's piteous looks,
and knew what it meant; knew that
in her eye the little rickety highchair
was more precious than if it had been
made of gold and studded with dia-
monds. In imagination he could see
the little dimpled cherub which it
one held; could see the chubby little
fist grasping the tin rattlebox and
pounding the chair full of hicks; could
see the little feet which had rubbed the
paint off the legs; could hear the crow
ing and laughing in glee-and now, the
little high chair was empty.
He knew there was an aching void
in the pale-faced woman's heart; there
was in his own. Somehow the day
may come and go, but you never get
over it.
There is no one to dress in the morn
ing, no one to put to bed at night.
Don't laugh said the auctioneer
softly, as somebody facetiously offered
ten cents; many of you have little
empty high chairs at home which
money would not tempt you to part
with Then he handed the clerk a
bill out of his own pocket and re-
marked, sold to the lady right there, !"
and as the pale-faced woman walked
out with the little high chair clasped
in her arms, and tears streaming down
her cheeks, the crowd stood back re-
spectfully, and there was a suspicious
moisture in the eyes of the man who
had bid ten cents.

Of his efforts, sixty millions is added
to the total on which this fifteen per
cent. limit is set, and the effect of the
bill here will be to enable the issue Of
between eve and eight millions OF
dollars of water bonds.
The amendment Mr.. Edwards sug-
gested would have covered Newark's
wants. The rejection OF the amend
ment is an evidence that the water
lobby expects to take this city by the
throat and force a big bond issue from
its officials in the near future.
And this is not only the possibility
but the fact of the situation. We
have made an honest fight against this
water iniquity; but we have been
than half convinced all along
that it would be a losing one. And
now We know that just Is 0 o as the
Legislature adjourns the water lobby
will make a descent upon Jersey City;
that a contract will be made with
them; that it will go through the
necessary Boards, and that no amount
of opposition on the part of the people
can defeat it.
The Lehigh Valley and Bartlett
have entered into a combine-the n
to throttle Newark, the other to
throttle Jersey City. The Lehigh
Valley has had it's turn. 1t will be
Bartlett's inning within a month.

their course with reference to the
States finances. Through the efforts
of ex-Gov. Albeit, the income of the
State was placed on such a basis as to
cover the expenses when regulated
with wise economy. This was a tempt
ing opportunity for Republican ex-
travagance, and appropriation after
appropriation was made recklessly I'M
til now not more than $500, 900 is UNI
provided for, according to Comptroller
Anderson's estimate.
The Republicans proposed to pay
this by means of a State tax. Another
suggestion was to divert money from
the school fund.
Both propositions were objectiona-
Bile. One would set a bad precedent,
while the other would amount to a
misrepresentation of money.
BY studying the condition of af-
fairs the Democrats have arrived at
the conclusion that, with ~judicious re-
trenchment and postponing the pay
ment of certain appropriations not
urgent, the State can come very near
within its income this year.
If this can be accomplished, the at
titude of the Democrats will be a
8 trong card next November.
