Her attitude Of suppication, her eyes,
that he had never before seen to hold
tears, her voice, that he had never before
heard TO express passion-these drove the
resentment out of his thoughts, and left
only the overmastering knowledge ofLhe
reality of her love. Therefore, it Is not
surprising that he said: Struggle no
more, but so with me now. VIII take
you away from your unloved husband"
He again put hisarms around Der, and
she partly through an effort to free her
self and partly through an unconsidered
impulse slid down to her knees. She
chung to his hands while she said:
Don't break my good resolutioni
Don't use your influence for evil, but sus-
tain me IN my honor!"
He lifted her tenderly to her feet and
said: "Your rebuke makes me ashamed
of myself. Good-by."
Farewell; and remember that my good
repute is in your keeping"
He took her hand respectfully. "I
swear" he said, with all the solemnity
that could attend more formal oath
taking, ''by the hand that may never
hold again, by my unalterable love, that
will sooner give up my life than this
secret"
He started toward the wall. but turned
back as though to say something more.
He saw her standing ngid and white in
the moonlight and people hurriedly APP
preaching. Col. Armytage was at the
front Of the party, but they were led by
a man in the uniform of sergeant, who
pointed and said: This is an officer In
the Confederate army. He is q spy"
''He is Mr.. Willetb, at whose home I
have been guest, said Mrs. Armytage,
with wonderful calmness; bat, while she
spoke with a steady voice, she leaned
against the seat for support,
Young man." said Col. ArmytaGe, sit
will be necessary for you, under the cir
cumstances, to explain your presence
here at the headquarters of the Union
commander. I hope you can do so salts
factorily."
Oliver said firmly, "Ihave no explana-
ton to make"
"Gen. Lyon has been warned" Col.
Arrnytage continued, that a. spy would
visit these premises to-nlght'to get in
formation as TO our plans for tomorrow.
1 sincerely regret that my wife's friend
has rendered himself liable to detention,
and l trust that he has not endeavored to
use knowledge that he may have gained
in social intercourse. Guards, conduct
this gentleman to the general"
Oliver thought vaguely of trying to es-
cape, but the grasp of the soldiers was
upon him. Then he recollected Mrs.
Armytage's letter, and his hand went
Involuntary to his breast. She saw the
gesture and knew what it meant. She
chung to the seat, only by hard resist
ance preventing herself from falling
into it.
Col. Armytage also saw the movement,
and said, as Oliver was marched away.

cunning of the southern voudOu votarles,
whether she possessed any of their sup
posed supernaturalism or not.
Look again, Oliver insisted. "You've
put me into predicament-now see me
through it."
Old JUDGE took his hand, and reached
for one Of Mrs. Arinvtage's, too. Snll
kneeling, and with the hands tightly
clasped, she -gazed steadfastly at the
young couple, and then beyond them
into the distance.
81 see 20 BOTH" she said. "Yo',
Mass'r Oliver, is in front OBJ de soldiers. 3"
"Ah! at last you've put me in COM
mand," he INTERCEPTED.
''Dey am de Union soldiers-standin'
still-standin' solemn. Yo' am facin
dem. Dey lifts oar guns. Dey fires at
yo' an yo' falls. De lady am dar, too,
pale as death. She am faintin'. She
drops on de groun'. De smoke oh de

Old JUDGE arose to her feet, rubbed her
eyes, had minute Of apparent bewilder-
ment, and then was 6uInc4ently wide
awake to take the coin which Oliver
handed to her.
"All humbug," he said.
"Of course" Mrs. Armytage assented.
But tlDay gazed in silence after the
black woman, as she walked away, and
nobody was prompt to ridicule her
prophecy. 1t had made, at least momen-
tarily, serious impression on all who
heard it.

At midnight 3Irs. Armytage was tbs
sole occupant of a room in the second
story of the spacious house which Col
Armytage and his staff occupied. The
windows looking out on the same large
garden from which Oliver Willett had
been taken as a spy not long before, were
wideO open, for the atmosphere was sui
try. Mrs. Armyage sat by a table.
During an hour she had scarcely stirred
from one position. Slowly she had come
to clear appreciation OF what had hap
pened, and she was waiting, as one
strapped toa guiHotine might, with aw-
full dread-awaiting the fall Of the
blade-fcr her husband 10 come with the
letter that she felt must ere this have
been taken from Oliver. The twelve
strokes of clock at midnight sounded
70 her unreasonably Ike knell; and
from that she went into dsze of won
dering why the bells familiar noise sug-
gested such an idea to her. AS paTsous
in dreams condense hours into seconds,
so her thoughts had wandered far and
wide before the twelfth stroke; and
then, looking up, she saw her husband
standing before her.

A Promising Western Industry.

The sugar beet factory at Grand
Island, Neb., began operations recently.
and manufactured over 300 barrels of
refined sugar, ready for market, during
the first twenty-four hours it was in
operation. The statement is made that
it is the largest and most complete beet
sugar factory in the world. The long
drought cut the crop Of beets short,
therefore the new factory will only have
supplies for ninety day run. This is
an enterprise of wonderful interest to
the farmers of the great grain raising
states. "a
If sugar beet raising proves successful
the manufacture Of our own sugar will
be of inestimable benefit to all the
people of the nation. When our shops
and factories consume all the farm prod
ucts the days of depression and over
production are past, and farming will
be prosperous business at all times.
The Grand Island mill has capacity
Of $50 tons of beets per day, which yield
$50 barrels of sugar. Every particle Of
the beet is saved, cattle being fed on the
refuse, and chewing gum being made of
certain parts that are left over.--Iowa

Exhuming a Famous Composer.

The remains of Johann Christoph
Gluck, the great composer, were ex-
humed at the Matzleinsdorf cemetery,
Vienna, where they had rested since
1857, and reinterred at the Central cem-
etery, in the Musicians corner, near
those of Beethoven and Schubert, and
close to the Mozart monument. The
grave was in a disgraceful state. The
grass mound had fallen in and was
overgrown with weeds; the gravestone
had disappeared, and only an obelisk
bearing Gluck's name marked the spot.
The worlnen had some difficulty in
clearing away the roots and shrubs.
The first thing brought up was por-
ton of rotten wooden coffin, followed
by fragments of bones-a shoulder blade
portions of the skull collar bone, arm
bones, the under jaw, with three teeth,
a double tooth, one or two ribs, and
finally some flowing brown hair, proba-
bly, from a periwig. The earth was
sifted for an hour, and as nothing more
could be found wooden case was filed
with the remains and placed in a hand
some metal coffin, over which the Vienna
Mems Amateur choir afterward sang
selections from Gluck's Vienna operas,
performing in the evening his "Ameida. :"

Light Fingered with His Teeth.

A few days ago John Bentley, well
known sporting man, appeared at the
Four Courts and complained to the po-
lice that he had been robbed of dia-
mond stud valued at $500, for the recov-
cry of which he would give 5000. He
stated that he was in company with a
man named Fuerst, alias Forrest, and
that when he awoke next morning his
diamond was gone. AS the screw part
still remained in his shirt he came to
the conclusion that it could not have
been lost, consequently the thief must
have embraced him and bitten the dia-
mond out of the setting.
Hardly had Mr.. Bentley reported his
robbery when Nettie May complained to
the police that she had had bitten out OF
her ear diamond earring valued at $3.50.
She said that she was in company with
Fuerst. While they were in the house
he placed his arms around her neck and
hugged and kissed her. After his de.
parture she discovered the loss of one OF
her diamond earrings, although the set.
ting still remained in her ear, the thiei
having bitten the diamond out.-St
Louis Globe-Democrat.

ANY notion that any one cause
did this good work is wrong, and
will lead to action more or
less radical. Success is liable
to blind good judgment and lead to ire
parable mistakes. The neophyte is
always an easy backslider. Any attempt
at one-sided, radical and wild develop
ments will drive these deserters back to
their own camp. What we want to do
is to keep our head, more carefully
attend to the business of the people with
earnestness and on we'll devised and
conservative programme, and we will
gain control of the national government
in 1892. We have issues enough, of a
vital sort to forsake all fads and carry
the country. Moderate and gradual
tariff reform, the building up of
a great navy, the fortifcation of the
harbors, the improvement of naviga-
ton, free coinage Of silver, the honest
expenditure OF public money, proper
care of the deserving old soldiers within
the limits of proper regard for the rights
of the people generally, will win our
fight.

A TRIBUTE TO GENIUS AND MODEST
WORTH.

The Fort-street Shines yesterday as
sayed to be humorous at the expense of
all its neighbors; and, inebriated by the
delight produced by a contemplation of
its intellectual offspring, branded the
monstrons birth with the sign of copy
right. This was an unnecessary ex-
penditure of labor and time. The thing
is most difficult to dispose of at first
hands, and as a secondhand PROPOSE
ton the goods are less saleable than
Junk. The wordy inanity is not worth
cent the million sentences. But it
must require some unusual effort on the
part of the Shines to even appear happy
under the present circumstances.
If it were to allow itself to fall into a
contemplative mood, it would do as Iago
advised be done with kittens and blind
pups, incontinently 60 and hang itself.
1t opposed the election of Judge McKin-
ley, with the usual result that he ran
ahead of his ticket. Mckinley is not
bad sort of fellow; if he were the Shines
would have supported him; but his
maternal parent would hardly claim for
him any virtues that would account for
his beating the other Republican
candidates on the judicial ticket.
His popularity grows directly out
of the opposition of the Shines.
If that highly esteemed contempo-
rary were to open fire on the devil
the result would be to elevate his satanic
majesty to his lost place in the hierarchy
of Heaven. But that is not all. The
Shines, for some occult reason, while pre-
tending to oppose the reelection of
Stanford, championed the cause of the
legislative ticket of its party, making a
pet of its old antipathy, Walter S.
Moore, subject as malodorous as
one of its own faxed and sala-
cous sensations. The Shines pet,
the soi-dissant 'Blue-eyed Boy of
destiny" came out of the fight not only
with his eyes of the tint of the sloe,
but literally pounded to jelly under
the multitudinous and indignant blows
of an outraged populace. His own pre-
cinct-under the shadow of his own
roof-set him back sixty votes behind
his ticket. Perhaps the destiny Moore
met was not all wrought by the friendly
offices of the Shines, but judging by
many instances in the past, his Water
loo was made all the more dis
astrous by the laundering generalship
of that Mark Tapley of journals, which
can be 80 hilarious at the expense of its
neighbors under such trying circum-
stances. The Shines might be daisy
might be-but is not The Shines is
pleased to notice US in the way of carp
ing criticism. Our methods are not ap-
proved by it. We acknowledge the corn,
plead our dement's, dof our sombrero
to superior journalistic merit, and ten
der the above sincere encomium to dis
tinguished genius.

An Aroostook Product.

The annual ''potato raid" is in progress
in Aroostook, Me-, as the starch facto-
ries are beginning their seasons work.
This isene Of the most novel sights to
be witnessed in this section of the coun-
try-the long line of teams hauling the
potatoes to the factories and waiting
their turn to unload. There is great
crop in Aroostook this year, the largest
for many years, in fact, and there will
be good supply for the factories, as the
latter are paying very good prices.
There are about forty factories in Aroos-
took county and on its border, and as
they use upward of two million bushels
yearly, it is seen that potato raising and
starch making in Aroostook are indus.

Mr.. Gould's Wealth.

Russell Sage's recent interview makes
out Jay Gould a richer man than he is
generally credited with being. Mr.. Sage
says Gould is the heaviest owner of Sc
curities in the world, his income alone
from dividends being So 900, 600 year.
Outside Of this he has an income of from
$40, 600, 600 to $12,OOO,OOO. It is under
stood that Mr.. Gould aims to make his
wealth net him about 6 per cent, and
if this is the case, and Mr.. Sage knows
what he is talking about, Mr.. Gould
will have to be moved up several pegs
in the list of the countrys rich men,

THE San Francisco Bulletin thinks the
result OF the election, so different in Cal
ifornia from that in the east, is due to
the superior intelligence of the people
of this state. Much as one would like
to lay this f1attering JUNCTION to the soul.
the desire to appear possessed of com
mon measure of intelligence would for
bid. The unconscionable lying of the
Bulletin had some small influence in the
results, and that proposition is not quite
in consonance with the claim of intelli-
gence. The Bulletin is putting in great
jeopardy its only small and questionable
reason for existing. Besides, the change
of heart on political issues was too gen.
eral and too sudden south of Market
street in the breezy city of the Bulletin
to justify the assertion that intellect had
anything to do with the matter. When the
proletariat of Tar Flat and the Barbary
Coast is swung in body to any politi-
cal cause, it is not done by recondite
knowledge or abstruse study of tariff
schedules. The process is more simple
The Bulletin seems to have forgotten
the simple but most efficient means, not
intellectual at all, however, by which it
was caved down the bank. That is the
way the thing was done, dear deacon.

lectual processes the state resorted to

There recently appeared in the San Francisco

THE San Francisco Post gives accounts
of many precincts south of Market

200 more or less, and where rs per cent.
of it all was deposited by II or II

1t Is usual to see crowd of fifty men

how generally the sack was opened on
that day. No wonder all the senators
