you, for we have q marvellous matter 70
talk about"
In the library Miss Lascelles seated
herself beside her father, while we three
men sat facing them on the other side OF
O small round table, on which placed
the diamond. At little distance from
US there was q lion skin on the floor, and
on this the Kid threw herself, and as she
lay there looking toward us, with her
chin resting in the palms Of her hands
and her elbows planted In the fur, we
saw scarcely anything Of her but her
great lustrous eyes, because OF the
shadow thrown by the lamp-shade.
"Now let US understand the position OF
things to begin with" said Sir Edmund,
taking q cigar, after handing the box to
US.
"This will explain good deal" said I
putting in his hand the copy OF our agree
ment.
He held it that his daughter might
read 1t with him, and having come to
the end said:

CHAPTER III.

When Van Hoeck recovered, and the
baronet heard of our long fast, he took
us at once into the dining-room, and had
us served with the best he could give. 1t
was repast to recompense us for our
long privations, and for time we fam
ished wretches forgot our treasure IN the
keen, animal pleasure of satisfying the
craving of hunger. Sir Edmund sat at
the table with us, directing the servants.
who surely had never before waited upon
such strange company. One could see
that it was q real delight to this large
hearted man to see us eat and drink
Miss Lascelles herself waited upon Van
Hoeck, attending to his wants with FEM
mime tact and delicacy; his affection ap-
pealed to her womanly sympathy:
She was q tall and graceful girl, with
her fathers fair complexion, bright,
mirthful eyes, that added to the happy
expression of her face, and beautiful soft
brown hair, that took golden lights and
chestnut shadows in its undulatlon. She
looked YOU in the face with a fearlessness
only possible to those who are perfectly
healthy and perfectly honest. To the
charm of physical beauty was added a
faultless manner-the complete self-com-
mand and unfailing grace inseParable
from lady of birth and education. She
was as courteous to us, who must have
seemed the veriest out-casts OF society,
as though we were her equal. A true
lady can never be ungracious. j..
Her presence had an indescribable ef-
feet upon nv senses-the effect of fine
music after discord; was conscious OF
a return from savagery to civilization.
But 1t was not until my gross appetite
was satisfied that became susceptible TO
the new delight.
The baronet spoke not one word about
the diamond during dinner, but when Il
was all over he said:
"WeIl, now we viii 60 back to the Il
brary, and you shall come with us, Edith,

MAN

Every street in Jefferson City has
felt the magic hand of aldermanlc
favor except Main, which languishes
and mourns its fatherless condition.
1t might be well to change its name {;
to call it by the true and stately
name of "Disowned' street. The
State of Missouri, that boasts Of
guaranteed rights and inviolable con-
tracts agreed 40 years ago by a SOL
emn act of the legislature TO keep
the street in repair in consideration
| of the surrender of that part of Main
| street that runs through the capitol
grounds. Year after year delega-
| tions of citizens have called on the
governors, begged and entreated
them for the fulGllment of the con-
tract, but it all ends in promises I'M
performed. We suppose if an out
ragged and long suffering people
should ask the city council to re-
open Main street through the capitol
grounds, for the states failure to
carry out the contract, VIZ would
suffer q threat 10 ''remove the CAPT.
tai" Thus we await, hound down,
the pleasure Of q contracting party
that never intends 10 perform its
part of it. For one, we feel that the
taxpayers on Main street have some
rights that should be respected. II
the state refuses to perform its con
tract, reopen Main street and take
possession of it and let it be i'm
proved at the expense of the prop
erty owner.

DYKE NEAR CEDAR.

An inspection of the Missouri
river at this point points out the
difficulties that ferrymen encounter
in trying to navigate the Missouri
river between Cedar City and Jeffer-

is very difficult to give satisfaction
to patrons CT the boat. If this evil
could be remedied the question OF
good service at greatly reduced rates
would adjust itself. AS it stands
the difficulties seem to be almost in.

In Ohio the dem ocrats declared

got away with all the rest of the
ticket. In Iowa the vote was not
against protection but it was against
prohibition.
IL tile democracy can extract any
comfort from this state of affairs
they are welcome to it. AS a party,
it would have been dead long ago II
its hopes had not been fed by barren
victories in ''off" years. 1t has al
ways been in the habit of expanding
its ammunition in useless skirmishes,
while the republicans save theirs for
the real battles.

The Late Election.

Our democratic friends, as usual,
are claiming that all the advantages
of the late election are upon their
side, and profess to belieye that, in
consequence thereof, q democratic
victory in 1892 is in sight. That this
has been their style of business ever
since the war, goes without saying.
They INDUCED in this kind Of propll.
esy every year preceding a presiden-
tlal contest since that time, and have
been proven false prophets ever
since, with the accidental exception
of 1884. Let us briefly analize the
grounds upon which they base their
hopes. In Iowa Boies was elected as
the result of a determination amongst
a large number of republicans, both
in the towns, and amongst the
| Sweedes and Norwegians In the
country to down prohibition. That
was the issue. The Republic, three
or four days before the election, de-
clared that large numbers of repub-
licans in the cities were going to vote
for Boies upon that issue, and Boies
himself had to promise to veto any
bill passed by a possible democratic
legislature, that would give the dem
ocrats a chance to divide the cleo.
toral vote of Iowa in a presidential
election. He was forced to make that
promise to obtain his republican
strength. We carried the legislature,
and Iowa is safely republican by 25,.
900 in 1892. How was it in Massa.
| chusetts? Russell is the most popu.
lar man in his state he had made a
first.class governor. a democrat can
make a good governor when all the
other officers and the law.making
power is republican. Through his
personal popularity he ran some II
or 5000 votes ahead Of his ticket.
The republicans elected the rest of
the ticket by Z or 5000 plurality,
and carried the legislature by a large
majority. Does any m doubt that
Massachusetts, is good for a large re.
publican majority in 1892? Then
take Pennsylvania, a few days be
fore the election, the Republic
claimed it. 1t rolled up the Biggest
majority for our side known in any
off year. Then New York, it is true
that it elected its "'Tammany" mar
by a good majority, 10000. 1t
elected Cleveland by 10000 in
1883 and then a !ot of republicans
had to help the democrats to get
their beggerly plurality of LOO in
in the next year. If we make the
same gain in '92 we shall carry the
state by $4,000 plurality.
Tammany may plant its paw on
Albany, but it can't reach Washing
ton. The democrats carried Mary
land, so they did Mississippi. The
south is generally "solid."
Now we come to Ohio. This was
the only state in which the battle
was fought on national principles.
Here the democratic ideas Of tariff
reform and free silver had full
swing. Mckinley, the great expon'
ent of protection, was nominated
amidst the derisive bowls OF the free
traders, AMI planted ~squarely upon q
platform of protection and honest
money. After a magnificent cam

AN electric invention that will

to be the most wonderful production

The St. Louis Republic of last
Sunday, says:
Vice President Waldo was seer by
a Republic reporter just before the
party left the Southern hotel. He
said that the trip was being taken
for the double purpose of inspecting
the property and IN order that the
officials of the executive and opera
ting and traffic departments might
have opportunity for consultation
He also gave the reporter an item Of
news which will be read with pleas
ure by all St. Louis shippers who do
business with the company. He says
that the removal of the general offices
from Scdalia to Parsons, Kas. will
take the traffic department officials
so far away from st. Louis, where q
large portion of the business origin
ates, that it has been decided TO re-
move the offices Of the general traffic
manager, general freight agent and
general passenger agent to St. Louis.
Rooms have been secured on the
fourth floor of the Houser building
for this purpose and the removal will
be made during the present week.
This will bring to St. Louis Mr..
Waldo. freight traffic manager Mr..
Dodge, genera! freight agent, and
Mr.. Messlier, the general passenger
agent.
