"Well," proceeded he, 81 forgot where

bell delivered it's stroke the brazen lip

with starting eyeballs, as they swooped
at me like hungry eagles, and snatched
at my tossing hair. How they roared at

gave tongue. Sometimes the fifteen
minutes seemed to me days and weeks
apart; at other times they hurried on
each other so that yelled at them to
wait and give me time to brace myself
for their crashing blows. All hunger
or thirst was forgotten in the torture
OF the bells: sleep had none-only in
sensibility.
"On that fourth night of my imprison-
ment, the furious storm which rocked
the tower brought me strange relief,

me, almost freezing me to death. Those

hung in circle over skeleGon-like
bridge of planks, by which they might
be reached. AS the door was opened,
the quarter after six set one bell swoop-
ing across the disk with stroke which
almost deaf6ned Carmine, so mighty
were the reverberations. At the same
moment a scream broke from dark
heap under one of the window-loops, and
it seemed to cover closer to the wall 1t
was Leslie Kenilworth. the missing
bridegroom, crazed, as the sexton had
said, by the torture of the bells.
IL were useless to describe Mrs.
Haughton's stupefaction when this
wreck of humanity was brought to her
door. The explanation of his plight
was so simple and so natural that she
could not find word of blame for any
body, but just busted herself in doing
tho best she could for the unfortunate
man. He was almost gone with hunger,
exhaustion and the pealing of the bells.
They had to be silenced while he lay
between life and death, SO terrible was
their effect upon him.
"Maniac bellsl be still! be stillp' he
would scream, striking fiercely upward,
and then, when strength failed him,
covering into his pillows as though
from raining blows.
As rest and nourishment restored the
wasted body, the frenzied mind gradual
ly regained its balance, until Leslie
learned to recognize his plain little
bride-elect, and grew visibly stronger
under her influence,
1t was fortnight after his rescue
that he told his story to Carmine and
her mother. 1t ran thus:
"You remember | left this house at

OF the night tempted me out for stroll

climb up the stairs Of st. David's tower
when a boy, and the fancy took me to
do it again; SO, without word to any
one, assembled the parapet, and stood
there, not looking at the old familiar
scene, after all. but at my Carmine's
lighted windows"
He took her hand. and in defiance of
mamma, kissed it
"You had told me to expect little
gorgon, and / had found. instead, so
sweet so spirit-pure face"
"But ugly" interposed Carmine, with
an unsteady laugh.

On the table beside him lay couple of
newspapers and yellow-covered law

Lawyer Flint was deep in perplexing

attitude.
He had sat thus for long time when
there was knock at the door.
''Come In" said the lawyer, without
looking up.
A servant girl entered, handed him a
note and withdrew.
Lawyer Flint opened the note, read it,

The exasperated lawyer grasped his

from the store. When he struck the
cold air and again drew his coat around
him he seemed somehow to feol less an

How the glad peal broke upon the
midnight silence and set the heart Of
one happy girl thrilling with JOY al
most too keen for mortal TO believe in
the Joy of requited lovel Ring out the
long years of patient waiting and meek
submissions; ring in the coming bliss OF
living for the noblest man on earthl
Carmlne Haughton was to be married
to.day-this very New Years day-to
the lover who had been rejected by her
parents seven years ago. The Haugh-
tons were wealthy then, and she was the
eldest, the flower, the loveliest of the
four beautiful girls who went by the
names of Carrie, Ju, vi and Essie
Haughton. Leslie Kenilworth was one
of the richest physicians in Winnipeg
now, and Carmine was neither beautiful
nor wealthy any more. A wasting Ill
ness had robbed her forever OF her love-
illness, and her fathers sudden death
had reduced the family to comparative
poverty.
Then, quite suddenly, Leslie Kenil-
worth had written 10 his old love, tell
ing her he had home worthy of her at
last; that he had never forgotten her,
and believed she had been as true to
him, and that be would come and claim
her whenever she babe him. What day
of ioy and terrors that had beenl Would
he care for her now she was poor and
plain? For the first she feared not; but
the last? All! the image in his constant
heart was not that poor, Scared face.
She wrote him the truth, inclosed her
photograph and waited mutely. But his
letters only breathed the tenderest con-
stancy. He urged her to be ready for a
New-Year's day wedding, so that he
might take her with him to Europe for
a winters sojourn before returning TO
far-off Winnipeg, and her mother ana
sisters gladly pushed on the prepara-
tons.
They had not met until last evening,
the very day before the wedding, and
when she beheld the tall, handsome
gentleman who had come to claim her
her courage altogether failed her and
she hid her ruined face in her hands,
weeping over its Disagreement. But ne
raised it with tenderest reverence, and,
gazing into the fearful eyes, whispered;
"My Carmine's soul is lovelier than
everl'
And who could have doubted after
that?
Plenty of willing hands had decked
the church with flowers in honor OF her
wedding day-the quaint old church
whose pealing bells had walked her 70
the new year and the new life. It's
beautiful bell tower was but stone
throw from the brides chamber window
and It's chimes we're familiar to her as
the voices of her friends. 1t struck the
quarter before eleven-a bar OF SIX
tenth century madrigal-as the bride
went up the aisle in her simple white
draperies.
There she stood under the golden
bell, with her gentle face seen, mist
like, through the vail, bending down
ward, and filled with holy serenity
There she stood-but where was the
bridegroom The marriage was hxeo
for quarter before eleven. and the
steamer which was to bear them away
started at twelve o'clock. Not moment
could be spared for delay; why, then, was
not the bridegroom there to greet the
bride?

We went where the boughs were sprinkled

A brave little robin sang out In the cold:
1t was only young lovers folly,
But we listened so long TO the redbreasts SOM
That we almost forgot the holly.
Then the light died out of the golden day,
And the moon showed her silyery bow.
And we never knew II our homeward way
Lay through rose,leaves or drifted snow.
One bright star shone In the pale clear sky;
And nv mother said II was folly
To listen so long to q robins song
But we brought homs the Christmas holly.
You stir not now from our ingle nook,
And my hair is white like the snow;

vestry door, by which the laggard should

it out, filling the shuddering walls with

With start Carmine raised her head
and looked roRnd her. At the same mo-
ment the vestry door opened and tho

whispered few words to her escort.

She heard these words, and put out her
hands with a wild, imploring gesture to
the rector. The next instant she had

INGALLS, POSITION.

The Ex-senator Declares Emphatically
That He Belongs to the Republican
Party.
ATCHIsoN, Kan, July 23.-Ex-Sena
tor John j. Ingalls, has addressed the
following letter to the Manhattan
(Kan) Nationalist in reply to an in
quiry about the authenticity of an in
closed quotation imputed to him: "Ab-
sence from home will explain and
trust excuse the delay of my reply to
yours of the 1st inst. The quotation is
not mine. l am, as have been from
the birth of the party, republican.
1T is not perfect political organiza-
ton, but it is the best there is or has
been or will be till the sheep and the
goats are separated at the last day. 1t
has had some bad men, but it is record
ed of the twelve Peter denied his Master
and Judas betrayed Him. 1t has COM
mitted errors and made mistakes, but
nothing human is exempt from infirm-
ity.
''No other party in this or any other
country in the present or previous
age has ever eXerted influence SO
enormous and so beneficial upon the
essential nature of the government and
the destiny of mankind. 1t is the GUS
todian of the political and social ideas
for which the exiles of jamestown and
Plymouth sought a new world, wrote
the declaration of independence and
built upon the foundation stones of lib
erty, justice and equality, the sovereign
ty of the people and the brotherhood of
man. 1t represents now, as heretofore,
the conscience, the courage and the
conviction of American citizens, repre-
sents social order, progress, individual
growth and national glory as opposed
to the frenzied vertigoes of anarchy
and the emasculated reveries of pater-
nalism on whatever pretext they may
be supported, whatever disguise they
may assume, whatever masks they may
wear
Every age has its duties The old
issues have disappeared. New ques-
tions are presented, arising from the
unequal distribution of the burdens,
the benefits and the privileges of So
ciety. That these will be considered
and adjusted by the republican party,
as it has hitherto dealt with slavery,
polygamy, secession, reconstruction,
the currency and the tariff, am conf
dent To doubt this would be to deny
the logic of history and to disparage
the intelligence and patriotism of the
people
