The house was called to order at 2
O'Clock, all members being present except
a few who afterwards came in.
The reading of the journal Vas dis
pensed with and a committee appointed to
correct the same.
Mr.OLIVER, from the committee appoint

wanted some rights. He wanted the dem
ocrats to get together somewhere.

committee was accepted and the commit
tee discharged.
Finally a motion to draw by lot and by
d >tricts was lost and a motion to retain
p esent seats carried.-32 to Is.

Der of the house with a copy Of the Jaws of
1889 and 1890, and the compiled laws.

erty of the members o. not, moved to
amend so that one days pay Of each men,
Der should be kept back by the chief clerk,
to be forfeited in case laws were not re-
turned to the state.

on the integrity of the members, and the

considered and tabled, leaving the original

S'Thatr' he exclaimed presently. THAT

'Quite so-of course. But there is moth

with me for many years. He cooks for me,

in all ways. A most reliable man, assure

The Individual was standing al q little

men intentlv but respectfully with his
keen little black eyes. The rest of his
square, dark face expressed nothing. He
had perfectly straight iet-blaclS hair which
hung evenly all around his head aud fiat

tirely in the black robe Of the nature of 3

Il do not know the staircase said the
sleeper in drowsy tones
Unorna knew the way well enough, but
not wishing to take a light with her she
was obliged to trust herself to her victim,
for whose vision there was no such thing
as darkness. unless Unorna willed it.

Without hesitation Beatrice led her out

noiseless footsteps in the direction COM

whether to turn to the right or the left,
but walking as confidently as though in
broad daylight. Unorna counted the turn
ings and knew there was no mistake. Be-
arrice was leading her unerringly toward
the staircase. They reached it and began
to descend the winding steps, Unorna
holding her leader By one hand, steadied
herself with the other against the smooth
CURED wall, fearing at every moment lest
she should stumble and fall in the total
darkness. But Beatrice never faltered. To
her the way was as bright rs though the
MONDAY sun had shone before her
The stairs ended abruptly against a
door Beatrice stood still. She had received
no further commands and the impulse had
ceased.

Unorna had not come back She went out
hastily into the corridor. The lay sister
| had long ago extinguished the hanging
lamp, but Sister Paul saw the lights stream
ing from Beatrice's open door. She went
in and called aloud. The bed had not
been touched. Beatrice was not there.
Sister Paul began to think that both the
ladies must have gone TO the midnight Serv
ice. The corridors were dark, and they
might have lost their way. She took the
lamp from the table and went to the balcony
at which the guests performed their devo-
tions. 1t had been her light that had
flashed across the door Of the tabernacle.
She had looked down into the choir, and
far below her had seen a figure, unrecog
nizable from that height in the dusk of the
church, but clearly the figure of woman
standing upon the altar. Visions of horror
rose before her eyes of the sacrelglous
practices of witchcraft, for she had thought
of nothing else during the whole evening.
Lamp in hand, she descended the stairs to
the choir and reached the altar, prOviden-
TALLY, just in time to save Beatrice from
falling a victim again to the evil fascination
of the enemy who had planned the destruc-
ton of her soul as well as of her body.
What is thisl What are you doing in
this holy place and at this hourl" asked
Sister Paul, solemnly and sternly.
Unorna folded her arms and was silent.
No possible explanation OF the struggle
presented itself even to her quick intellect.
She fixed her eyes on the nuns face, con-
centrating all her will, for she knew that
unless she could control her also, she her
self was lost. Beatrice answered the
question, drawing herself up proudly
against the great altar and pointing. to
Unorna with her outstretched hand, her
dark eyes flashing indignantly.
I'VE were talking together, this woman
and l. She looked at me-she was angry
and then l tainted, or fell asleep, cannot
tell which. 1 awoke in the dark to find
myself lying upon the altar here. Then
she took hold Of me and tried TO make me
sleep again. But 1 would not. Let her ex-
plain, herself, what she has done, and why
she brought me here.''
Sister Paul turned to Unorna and met the
full glare of her unlike eyes with her own
calm, half-heavenly look of innocence.
What have you done, Unorna? What
have you donel' she asked very sadly.
But Unorna did not answer. She only
looked at the nun more keenly and savagely.
She felt that she might as well have looked
upon some ancient picture of saint in
heaven, and bid it close its eyes. But she
would not give up the attempt, for her only
safety lay in its success. For long time
Sister Paul returned her gaze steadily.
"Sleep!n said Unorna, putting up her
hand. ''Sleep, command you!''
But Sister Paul's eyes did not waver. A
sad smile played for moment upon her
waxen features.
"You have 10 power over me-for

| face with Israel Kafka without having re-
| ceived the least warning of his present con-
| dition, and it was impossible to say what
| the Infatuated youth might do at such a
moment. He had been shut up, caught in
| his own trap, as 1t We're, for some time,
| and his anger and madness might reason
ably be supposed to have been aggravated
rather than cooled by his unexpected con-
finement. 1t was as likely as not that ne
would use the weapon he carried upon the
first person with whom he found himself
face to face, especially if that person made
any attempt to overpower and disarm him.
The Wanderer drove to Keyork Arabians
house and, leaving his carriage to wait in
case of need, assembled the stairs and
knocked at the door. For some reason or
other Keyork would not have bell in his
dwelling. whether because, like MahOmet,
he regarded the bell as the devils instru-
ment, or because he was really nervously
sensitive to the sound of one, nobody had
ever discovered. The Wanderer knocked,
therefore, and keyork answered the knock
in person.
MY dear friendl" he exclaimed in his
richest and deepest voice, as he recognized
the Wanderer. Come in. l am delighted
to see you. You will join me at supper.
This is good indeed!'
He took his visitor by the arm and led
him in. Upon one of the tables stood a
round brass platter covered, 50 far as it
was visible, with Arabic inscriptions, and
highly poGshed-one of those commonly
used all over the East at the present day
for the same purpose. Upon this were
placed at random several silver bowls,
mere hemispheres without feet, remaining
in convenient position by their own
weight. One of these contained snowy
rice, in that perfectly dry but tender state
dear to the taste of orientals, in another
there was savory, steaming mess of ten
der capon, chopped in pieces with spices
and aromatic herbs, a third contained
pure white curd of milk and fourth was
heaped up with rare fruits. A fagon of
Bohemian glass, clear and bright as rock
crystal and covered with very beautiful
traceries of black and gold, with drinking
vessel of the same design, stood upon the
table beside the platter.
My simple meal" said Keyork, spread
ing out his hands and smiling pleasantly.
':You will share it with me. There will be
enough for twe.'
$50 far as that is concerned, should say
So" the Wanderer answered with smile.
''But my business is rather urgent
Suddenly he saw that there was 4 third
person in the room, and glanced at Keyork
in surprise.
Il want to speak few words with you
alone" he said. II would not trouble you,
but"
mot in the least, not in the least, my
dear friend." asseverated Keyork, motion
ing to chair beside the board.
"But. We are not alone" observed the

For many years public interes. has CEN
tered around the most remote Of our pos
sessions, and many are the tales related Of
the wonders of Alaskan scenery. Eyanin-
ing all the data extant today very little is
found outside the beaten tracks-that is,
those portions where the tourist steamers
yearly go. If you look in an ordinary
gazetteer the result OF your search will bs
that Alaska covers about $4,000 square
miles, is rich in minerals and fur bearing
