Lenora, with half-hysterical laugh,
turned to the window and went ont
Mary Sulland was left alone. Suddenly
she sank upon a chair and burst into
such q passion Of tears as shook her
very frame.
It is not in the nature OF any woman,
however nobly made, however jealous
OF the honor Of the man whom she re-
CARDS, not TO feel at such moment n
cruel agony of mind. She was alone.
The excitement which had sustained her
was already over; and now the hard,
plain fact, without disguise, pressed
itself remorselessly upon her soul. Her
hero had gone forth to almost certain
death.
Her hero? Yes, he was her hero.
She made no secret OF it now in her own
heart. She loved him well. Gladly
would she have given her own life for
his. But alas what could she do?
All at once q wild thought struck her.
Her cheek famed, the old light kindled
in her eyes. She started to her feet,
pale, eager-eyed, and tremhling-trem-
bling now with new excitement She
seemed like one possessed OF a spirit
stronger than her own-by an impulse
overmastering and resistless. For mo-
ment or two che stood motionless, her
ewes cleaning. Then turning, not to
the window but to the door, she hurried
from tho room.
She went straight to her own chamber.
in a few minutes she came out again.
She was now draped in a long, close.
gray dressing-gown, which completely
covered her own dress. Her tall, slight
figure, thus garmented, looked like mo-
thing go much as a gray ghost-and hike
ghost in the falling light Of evening
she glided out of her chamber and
passed along the passages and down
flight of stairs.
All at once she stopped. Some noise
alarmed her. And now she was afraid
afraid not OF what she was about to do,
hut of being seen and thwarted in the
execution of her plan. Presently, all be
ing still, she again stole forward. The
men were for the most part busy Mt their
posts about the Notifications, and the
part OF the station through which she
had to pass was almost deserted. For
tune favored her, besides; no eye OBJ
served her as she stole upon her way.
At last, to her infinite relief, she
reached her destination. She stood in
the archway which led out into the
square.
It was still empty. Vane's volunteers
had gone in search OF the articles re-
ouired for the adventure, and had not
vet arrived. The open court was before
her, and there in the middle OF it was
I-tfre-w
She knew the archway well Its i'm.
age had been clear to her minds eye al
along. 1t was n kind of a tunnel OF
covered passage of brickwork some half
dozen yards in length. Near the
outer end of the archway there was q
buttress, and beyond it recess or deep
niche in the masonry. The niche wa
close beside the buttress on the side TO
ward the square.
The gray figure reached the buttress,
glided into the recess, and disappeared

dearer to her than life, but honor should

be dearer than either.
He was on the point OF speaking
when there appeared at tho window OF
the room another figure. They both
looked up aud saw it. 1t was Mary
Sultan. Her face was very pale, and as
she came forward q close observer might
have seen that she WAS trembling. But
her eyes shone with strange light,
and when che spoke her voice. though
low, was thrilling in its distinctness.
Her first words showed that she had not
overheard. or had not understood, what
bad already passed between Lenora and
st. George.
1--WE know where you are going" she
said with shining eyes. "Lenora shall
not be alone in bidding you God-speed
before you 90. have como TO do so,
too And M she spoke che looked as q
Spartan maiden might have looked when
she sent her lover forth 10 death or glory.
At the first sound OF her voice Vane
started. Their eyes met. and one might
have thought that some reflection OF the
light ia hers had flashed into his own.
Without n word he took her hand and
pressed it to his lips. Then, with the
same action OF farewell 10 Lenora, he
turned away, reached the door of the
apartment, and was gone.
The whole scene was over almost in q
moment Yet scenes as brief have often
been the turning-point of liyes-and so
il was to DO with these.

CARVED PIPES.

Especially curious are three carved In
dian stone pipes with stems, owned by
Washington and presented to him by
various Indian chiefs. These pipes are
exquisite pieces of Indian workmanship
and are OF great interest apart from
their relationship to Washington.
A rare and curious object is a porcelain
medallion of Franklin presented to
Washington. The workmanship on this
is very beautiful. 1t is surrounded by a
wreath OF flowers, interviewer with an
exquisite design.
A small Canton china tureen, which
matches some other pieces OF china now
in possession of the Mount Vernon So
ciety. should be secured by them TO
complete their set. 1t is decorated with
the American eagle, by order OF General
Washington. Two silver-plated, on cop
DER, secretary candlesticks are OF more
than usual interest, as they were used by
Washington frequently to furnish light
for writing the many letters which he
was accustomed to pen by early candle
light.

A Blameless Life.

The good influences of a blameless life
were never more conspicuously shown than
in the life of Cardinal Newman, whose body
now awaits burial. In the comments of
the press Of this country and England upon
his career the purity of his morals, the
nobility of his character and the gentleness
of his disposition occupy prominent place
He was a man of brilliant intellect and a
great scholar, but what impresses the world
the most was his goodness. He was good
man in the highest and truest sense.
Scholars speak of his sple ldi1 intellectual
endowments, of his Incompatible command
of the English language, and the extraor-
binary influence of his writings upon the
religious mind of the world, but that which
touches the heart wherever his name is
known and fills the mind with the highest
and noblest thoughts of which it is capable
is the blameleSs life he lived
Great as were the sermons which he
preached and far reaching as were the
thoughts embodied in his writings the in
fuelce of neither was so effective for good
as the example he set his fellow men. His
was about as near perfect life as the life
of a mortal gets to be, and it will continue
to assist in lifting the world to a higher
moral and religious plane long after he has
been laid to rest

The Fdmunds Resolution.

Nearly all the republican senator's sre
opposed 10 any dis cussion Of the tariff bill.
The more the bill is discussed the
stronger the opposition of the people
70 1t become. 10 many parts
of the west republicans have expressed
tlemselves as hostile TO it. Little was
said In opposition TO the bill by western
republicans when it was before the House.
The reason was that they did not know
what the true character Of it was
They we're told by Maj. Mckinley and
other republican leaders that it
was farmers bill, and they did not
find out that this statement was not true
until the discussion Of the bill began in the
Senate. The bill was not discussed in the
House. The republican leaders 10 th lat
body were afraid 20 permit it to be discussed.
They cut of discussion by means of a gag
rule and passed it by strict party vote.
The Senate is much more conservative
than the House 1t is still a deliberative
body. Senators boar and Blair have intro
duced resolutions to prevent debate, and
make it a body like the House. These reso-
lutions have not met with favor from quite
a number of leading republican seoators-
among them Senator Edmunds-and they
have, therefore, not been acted upon by the
committee on rules.
1t looks now, however, as if Senator
Eimunds had been won over to the side of
the extremists, who want to cut off debate
and pass measures without giving them
any consideration. The resolution he in
PRODUCED into the Senate on Tuesday, pro-
viding that no senator shall speak more
than once and not longer than five minutes
on any item of the tariff bill, OF any amend
ment to that bill, without the consent of
the Senate, is step, and long one, toward
the gag rule which prevails in the Houss.
1t is true that it applies only to the tariff
bill, but may it not be the intention of the
author Of it to ask to have it applied to all
other bills9 1t is probable that it is.
With gag rule in both the House and
the Senate the people will know very little
about the bills passed by congress. Moth
ing would give the republican leaders
greater satisfaction than to keep the coun-
try in ignorance of the partisan legislation
of their party.
There is no excuse for the adoption of the
gag rule proposed by Senators Hoar and
Blair, or the order prepared by Senator Ed
munds limiting debate on the tariff bill
The democratic senators are not filibuster-
ing. They have occupied little, If any. more
of the time Of the Senate than republican
senators in discussing the tariff bill Sena-
tor Sherman admitted this the other day.
The only reason, therefore, for limiting the
N GuA min 10
that the republican senators are
finding out that opposition to the tariff bill
throughout the west is becoming steadily
stronger. They know that the opposition is
due to the fact that the people are be-
ginning to realize that the bill greatly in
creases their burdens without comforting
upon them any benefits. 1t is not to be
wondered at, therefore, that the republican
senator's are beginning to think favorably
of gag rule.

The very deuce is to pay in the western
republican states over the Mckinley bill,
particularly in Kansas, the banner repu oil
can state. The Topeka Capital the official
state paper" aud leading republican organ,
has joined its party contemporaries in de-
nouncing the me Isure. In a recent issue it
said: Readers will make their own judy
ment of the Mckinley bill. We fail to see
in it any such reduction as the Capital has
long urged, save on sugar. There is no at
tempt to revise with the purpose of bene-
fitting the consumers. There are beneficial
advances of duty on farm products, but on
the majority of farm products the advance
will have no effect whatever. The bill on
the whole is not in the interest of
protection, and merits the disap-
probation of Senator Plumb and Mr..
Blaine" From this it appears that Senator
Plumb is not the traitor to his cause"
renegade" and "apostate" that the tariff
organs say he is He has the Endorsement
of his constituents, and can snap his fingers
at their threats and howls.

Twenty Dunkards With an R.

Last year a party of twenty-five Dunkards
was en- route to the general conference via St
Louis. No agent accompanied them, and a
telegram was sent to Union Depot Passenger
Agent Bonner to meet twenty Dunkards," says
the.Nashville american.

and, supposing mis- AXE had been made, he
Just inserted the letter r., " and when Bonner
received the message it read: Meet No. 4.
Twenty drunkards aboard. Look after them d"
Bonner was somewhat taken aback. He did
not know but that an inebriate asylum hal
broken loose, but anyway prompt action was
necessary. The twenty drunkardS must be
desperate men or the dispatch would not have
been sent, and murder might have been COM
mitted on TIE re ad.
Bonner posted off to police headquarters and
his story did not lose In the telling. The chief
of police, alive TO the exegencleS of the situa-
ton, made a special detail OF ten policemen
and a patrol wagon
the policemen were drawn up in line at the
depot and intense excitement prevailed among
the numerous depot loungerS, a rumor having
gained currency that d9sperate band of train
robbers were on the incoming train.
In due time the train arrived but no party of
registering drunkards alighted. The party on
the trail was composed of several pious- looking
gentleman with broad brlmmed hats, who STOOD
around as though expecting some one.

terrogatively:

Bonner was completely done for. Heexcused
himself. and, calling the sergeant of pol ce
aside. he told him that it was all mistake and
he and his men could go back to headquarters.
Then he disposed of his religious friends, went
around and cussed out the telegraph operator
after which he had to ''set 'em up" for the
whole police force on the promise to keep mum.
