while, crouched down by the fence;
was an old crippled driver, who had
promised to work and not talk. Hutch
inson then carefully placed the un-
conscious beauty in this rough-looklng
box, but it did not look so rough on
the inside as it did on the outside, for
the entire inside was heavily padded
with the softest down, and all was
covered with beautiful pale blue shirred
satin. The box was well ventilated,
and Just before the lid wos fastened
down, q few white roses and buds were
placed among the golden curls that
lay scattered over the snow-white pillow.
This strangely laden express wagon
reached the depot Just in time fol
Hutchinson to get the box on the last
through express. On and on they went,
wLirling across the country just Like
the wind.
The train which Hutchinson boarded
passed through Michigan City, and
that was where he wanted to stop.
He arrived just in time to get his
charge to the place he wished it to go
before the day dawned. he went him
self with the express-man and knew
that it was properly delivered.

As Gertana finished reading this
strange letter, her hands dropped to
her lap and she sat for some time en-
tirely lost to what was going on around
her.
She was thinking how to accept
that letter, and if all was true that it
stated, what should she do? If this
party had taken those blank papers
from the drawer, Lenora would be
no better of than she had been before.
This was the hardest for Gertann
to bear. 70 think that she had the
original papers and did not know
where to find Lenora to give them to her.
And another painful thought was,
that the poor, wronged girl, if she
had not been taken to her home,
would probably never know that the
letter she supposed was from her uncle,
was forged.
Bow could this Italian, that had
taken snch an interest in Lenora, en-
dure these maddening truths? It was
almost more than she could bear.
Just how to test the truthfulness of
that letter she hardly knew; yet, il
those blank papers were gone, and
if there were any signs in the attic OF
! its having been recently occupied, there
must be some truth in it. And, too,
the author Of the letter spoke Of her
home and mother. and said that That

Yick's Floral Guide.

We have received from James Wick
Rochester, n. ", his Floral Guide,
which in beauty of appearance and
convenience of arrangement surpasses
anything in this line which we have
ever had the privilege of seeing before.
1t is a pamphlet eight by ten inches
in size, and with the covers, which
are by no means the least important
part of it, contains an even one hun
dred pages. Although called "fioral
guide" it is devoted to vegetables as
well, and includes as full a list and
description of both flowers, vegetables
and also small fruits as could be
brought within the compass of book
of this size. In all that the Vicks
have undertaken their aim seems to
have been to attain as near to absolute
perfection as possible, and probably
no one ever did so much towards
bringing the cultivation of flowers to
the high standard which it has now
attained as did the head Of the firm.
The firm takes the same pride in
raising choice vegetables as in devel-
oping attractive varieties of flowers,
and after using their seeds for num-
ber of years we are able to recon-
mend them in the highest terms. We
advise all our readers to send 10 cents
for the Guide (Which can be deducted
from first orGer) and if there are any
of our lady friends who can succeed
in growing a natural rose which will
compare in beauty with the New
Stripped Rose shown in illustration
we should like to receive an invitation
to call and see it.

WALKER BLAINE, the eldest son of
Secretary Blaine, and Solicitor of the
State Department, died at the family
residence in Washington, last Wednes.
day evening of acute pneumonia, su.
perinduced by an attack of the pre-.
vailing influenza. He was in the 35th
year of his age. Around his bed we're
his father and mother, his brothers,
Emmons and James Jr., and Miss
Dodge. Walker Blaine graduated
from Yale College in 1875, and study
ing law received his diploma from
Columbia College, New York, in 1878.
In 1881, while Garfield was on his
death bed, be sent for Walker Blaine
and appointed him Third Assistant
Secretary of State, saying that he ap'
preciated his ability and desired to
show it. After serving in this capaci.
ty very acceptably for nearly a year
he was appointed on the Alabama
Claims Commission, where he served
with great credit from 1882 to 1885.
On the advent of the present Admin
istratiOn he was appointed Solicitor Of
the State Department, a position which
he also filled with great credit and
ability. Mr.. Blaine was frank and o.
a genial disposition-a man of mag
netism and ability-and was popular
with ell whom he came in contact
socially or in business matters, His
death is a sad blow to his distinguished
father, who had built largely on tit
future Of this son.

delegation of Mormons have been here
to oppose the admission of Idaho as a

their arguments will not prevent the
bill for the admission Of Idaho being
favorably reported.

Tracy last summer to consider and

1t is generally believed that Senator
Farwell will make fight on the con.
frmation of Mr.. Clark, this week
nominated to be Collector of Customs
at Chicago. If he does, the chances
are that be will succeed in defeating
him. Mr.. Farwell has no personal
objection to Mr.. Clark, but he think;
it is a wrong principle to appoint o
man to Office who is opposed by both
Senators and Representatives of hi'
State. Mr.. Pullman, of palace cal
fame, is said to be responsible fol
Clark's appointment.
