He wasn't Dead After All.

Twice during mycareer have been given

advance of Hicks Pasha's army against
El-Obeid. in the western Soudan, when
that force met with such disaster at the
hands of the Mahdi and his followers, |
was walking down Fleet street, London,
with a cousin, when we were greatly
amused and astonished by noticing several
posters of the evening papers notifying my
death in the Soudan. Presently friend OF
my cousins came up, and addressing him,
said, my dear fellow, this is sad news
about your poor cousin"
Whats that?" said he
''Why, his death in the Soudan."

ended with il.
She made him no answer She quilted
the study with staggering limbs. Her tor
ment seemed to her like that of a mother
who had seen the massacre of u child.
She got into her own private room and
closed the door. Her head was whirling;
she wondered why she did not swoon.
But something appeared to keep her from
that. What was it? All, she knew, she
realized, i'll very surge of cognition.
1t was her unspeakable hatred of him,
newborn and yet born as they said malign
beings were, with all its teeth. She had
never loved him; now her indifference had
turned loathing intense.
He had killed that splendid hope. She
had witnessed with her own eyes its hate
flll holocaust. Live with him after this?
Not if he could lodge her in house of
gold and give her gear that would out
shine the sun.
She must get away from him. Her head
felt hot as the flame she had just despair
ingly looked on, and her hands were ice.
A horror of ever again seeing him or being
near him insanely beset her. She might

now and kill Kim. She shrank with wild
dread from staying under his roof that
night.
There was her Aunt Janet-her mothers
only sister Aunt Janet was poor and
lived in a meager way, streets and streets
uptown; but she would be kind and give
shelter for few nights and days to come.
After Lucia had Slipped out of his study
Sylvan flung himself into a chair and sat
for long time with folded arms and gazed
on the floor
He loved his wife deeply, in his way of
loving. He was thinking all this while,
whether the fraud that he had conceived
and carried out would not bravely succeed.
Naturally, she might at first show harsh
revolt; but soon all that must change;
every storm raves itself into peace And
as for this deceit about burning false en-
velope for true one, how could he help
lustifying any course that might lull in
Lucia this profane frenzy?
After awhile (the lapse of time was
longer than he reallzed) Sylvan rose, went
to the open drawer of his cabinet-like
desk. and drew from it an envelope almost
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-01-18

precisely resembling the one which he
had burned that evening Whatever trick
of caligraphy he had used in initiating the
superscription at which he now gazed, his
adroitness of touch had been quite perfect
enough to deceive the agitated eye that
met it. Satisfied of this fact he replaced
the envelope, closing and locking the
drawer. After having done this he became
conscious of a sharp discomfort, whose OBJ
ject was Lucia. How strange that the only
real discord which had ever risen between
them should have concerned his religious
faith-an element in him with which he
connected all peaceful and kindly longings.
He now told himself that he must repair
with all acts of Christian gentleness the
injury to his wife's feelings which a
needful course of severity had inflicted.
His heart literally brimmed with good
will as he soon passed from his study
and went to find Lucia. His love for
her, always ardent, had never more en-
thralled him than then. 1t was blent with
self-reproach for the distress he had
caused her, though remorse had no real
part in the poignancy of his regret.
He entered her dressing-room and saw
that it was vacant. Giving it only care
less glance here and there, he went into
other chambers. Not finding her any
swers to his questions We're quite unsatis-
factory. Mrs. Maynard had not been seen
to quit the house. But where, then, was
she? Whittier had she been spirited!
Sylvan almost reeled with dread that he
could i'll have explained, and yet that
stabbed him like spear of fire.
He hurried back to Iucia's dress
ing-room. He stood in the center
of it and called her name twice or
thrice.
Suddenly his eye lighted on paper
pinned conspicuously against the rim of
mirror. He seized it, read his own name,
and soon read something more.
She had gone. With few fierce words
she told him that she would never will
ingly meet him again.
"You have made me hate YOU" clause
of the letter ran. 81 have often tried to
love you, and always failed Now, since
your brutality has shown me your true
nature, can only pray that you will
leave me unmolested, to live or to die as l
choose"
The letter trembled in Sylvan's grasp.

TO old slumbering suspicious with a fright

chair, sweating coldly with anguish and
dismay.

COURT YOUR WIFE.

oh middle aged man, I've word with you,
As you sit in your Office this morn;
Has the worry OF life, with its folly and strife,
Pierced your heart like fostering thorn?
Does the touch OF your gold feel too clammy
and cold;
Are you weary of fiattery's scorn?
Alas, for the days when the passions of youth
Burn low in the desolate heart,
" hen the laughter and tears of our innocent
Never more from the sympathies start.
And the hideous mien of indulgence is seen
Meath the fiattering mantle of art.
Perhaps you've tried friendship, and only have
Deception and selfshness rife;
Perhaps you have poured to the needy your
To be pricked by ingratitudes knife:
And perhaps you have been through the whole
round of sin
Did you ever try counting your wife?
No? Then take my advice and think you will
find
lis pleasure as charming as new.
Follow memorys track till at last you are back
To the days when you sworc to he true
Yea, dream more and more till she seems as of
To be watching and signing Tor you.
And when you go home tonight buy bouquet
OF the flowers she used 10 admire
Put them into her hand when before her Won
stand,
With loverlike kiss of desire.
And Oh! watch her eyes when they ope with
surprise,
And flame up from a smoldering FIRE.
Then all the long evening be tender and kind,
Hover near her with eager delight.

Will Caraway Print This?


The Daily State Journal, of Topeka,
one of the republican papers which
stood up for Botkin and his friends the
state senate, has the manhood to ac-
knowledge the error of its course and
to condemn the whole whitewashing
methods of its party. In connection
with the Sam Wood assassination, the
State Journal has this to say:
1.-The acquittal of Judge Botkin is a
burning disgrace to the republican SEN
ate which tried him. The msn is totally
unfit for a judge and the senators who
acquitted him knew it. The masses of
the republican party are Disguised with
the manner in which this unworthy
has been excused and with the effront-
cry Of certain republican leaders in
continually embarrassing this travesty
on justice, who is legally, but not law
fully, permitted to sit on judicial
bench in Kansas. This judge. though
almost an eye witness of the murder of
Sam Wood, and but a few yards away
from the infamous scene, yet appears
to cOndone the outrage. The republi-
cans had the chance to GUST the un-
worthy judge. but they abused their
opportunity, to their shame and the
states disgrace. Botkin must CO."

AT A meeting of the interstate COM
MERGE commission, held in Kansas City
last week, the fact was developed that
Kansas salt mines are grossly discrimi-
mated against by the railroads. The
rate on salt shipped from Hutchinson
to Galveston, Texas, is sixteen mills
per ton per mile; from the Iowa salt
mines eight mills per ton per mile, and
from the Michigan salt mines seven
mills per ton per mile, thus giving the
northern mines big advantage over
Kansas mines. 1t was also developed
that that prince of robbing corpora
tions. the Rock Island railroad, the
road which practically stole some
S., 900, 900 worth of county bonds, to be
paid by Kansas farmers and Kansas
merchants, was receiving the bulk of
benefits that were derived from the
discrimination against Kansas salt. 1t
is to be hoped the commissioners will
adjust the matter so that the salt mines
of Kansas-the best in the world-may
have fair shake; and we also hope
that the people of Kansas who were
euchred out of the $3,0OO,OO0 by the
Rock Island road when it secured the
g. X. & N. by mortgage foreclosure,
will see that that road is not encouraged
in its favorite line of doing business.

Ourinr Wheat.

When we were horny-handed farm
er We used TO raise enough wheat TO
furnish bread for our family. After
cutting and shocking it we let it stand
in the field for ten days or two weeks
to give it time to dry out before stack
ing it.
After we stacked it we let it stand in
stack until it went through the sweat,
which process cures the berry and fits
it for market and requires from three
to four weeks time. AS soon as it is
cured it is ready for threshing, but our
experience is that it pays to let it re-
main in stack until cold weather sets
in.
All this is changed now and most
farmers thresh their wheat from the
shock and rush it into market before it
is cured. This is not only prenlcious
habit but very expensive one for the
wheat grower.
Wheat that is cured in the straw not
only weighs more but makes better -four
and bread than wheat cured in the
granary, and as consequence COM
mands better price. The farmer who
fails to cure his wheat in the straw
very foollshly fritters away big slice
of the profit he should receive from his
crop.-Wyandotte Herald.
