We cannot rest with the assumption
that, since the sun is evidently no Mira

an ~unchanging radiator which for an in
definite period will continue to cause
the earth to bloom In the benefcent ef-
fulgence Of its life inspiring rays A sun
may affect the welfare of its planets
either through the gradual mutations
which it u~ndergoes in the course of its
evolution, or through the more rapid
and violent changes that characterize
the stars hat are ranked as variable
We have seen hat most of these latter
belong to the third and fourth classes,
but there is reason to suspect that the
majority of all the stars are variable to
a slight degree, and evidence Of varia-
bility in the case of the sun is furnished
by the phenomena of SUI spots.-G. P.

sheriff and deputy United States marshal.
at Buffalo Yesterday on the charge of
numbering Tisdale aud Jones, reputed
r~ustlers, who were assassinatcd near that
town last week, is well described by our
correspondent as "a farce" If the pres
ent physical condition of Mr.. Canton
(infammatory rheumatism preventing
bin from getting about were not sufi-
cient to set at rest all foolish stories that
he was the sanguinary horseman who
waylaid and slaughtered two unsuspecting
men, the character of the man himself
should amply suficc to do 1t. Canton is
a plain, o~utspoken man in all his dealings
and actions. The man probably doesn't
live whom he fears on an equal footing
and his acuuitral will follow as a matter of
course Under tha circumstances it was
perhaps the part OF wisdom to boldly face
the umors at their inception and thus
effectually set them at rest forever.

CRISP IS SPEAKER

The agony is over and Congressman
Crisp of Georgia will to-day occupy the
speakers char IN the national house of
representatives. A very vindictive, I'M
manly and unwarranted fight was made
on Mills Of Texas. He has been misrep,
resented aud m~alIgued IN a most shameful
manner. not only by the Republican press
but by a small part OF the Democratic
press, the New York Sun being a nota-
Bile example. As between Crisp and
favor the former until the fight upon
Mills became so bitterly personal. when q
sense OF fair play very much inclined US
10 favor of the Texas statesman.
So far as the two men are concerned it
cannot be doubted that Crisp lwho is of
English birth but has been a resident
of this country from his early %chIldhood)
Is the safer man OF the two. Mills is an
exceedingly able man and a parliamentar-
ian of pronounced ability but IN the vehe-
mence OF debate he is liable to be carried
beyond the limits which prudence would
set.
Crisp on the contrary is an exceedingly
self reliant man. who was never known to
lose his head or his tempe. in any emer-
Rency. This session of congress is des-
tined to be a very important one, not
only for what may be done. but because
of what may be left uudone. The Dem
ocratic majority is SO large in the house
that it can carry through any measure it
may desire. A cool mead will be needed
to preside over the house, and from all
accounts Crisp has one to 20 with his un-
doubted parliamentary ability.

Novel Wager Between Prominent Mon

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 30.-William
Leary, owner of the Gem Theatre, Sus-
pension Bridge, N. Y, has entered into
a wager by which he stands to lo3s his
theater or win So, 900.
Leary wagers that he can organize a
"Tramp Variety Show consisting of
five men and five women who will walk
from New York to Chicago in 100 days,
Sundays excepted) and give shows on
the way.
The company must start from New
York on June /, 1892, without cent
of money in their pockets, and they are
to use no money except what is earned
by the show; also they have the privi-
lege of showing one night in New York
city.
In case any of the actors get lame a
stretcher will be provided and the rest
will have to carry him or her. as the
case may be.
The wager grew out of discussion on
the bursting up of shows on that road
and their getting left in towns.

Leary is Mr.. Whelen, proprietor of the
White Elephant Hotel, of Suspension
Bridge. A forfeit has been posted and

when some one lighted a lamp. Then
a bright clear light illumined the little
parlor, and she saw the gray head and
kindly face of the bookseller.
He was an ample man. Nature, when
she fashioned him, had not been stinted
for material: he had a large body, and
his head and face were large, too. The
thick gray hair looked like a mop of
short curls, keen gray eyes twinkled
good-humoredly under shaggy eye
brows, and the well-cut mouth and
chin denoted frmness and good sense.
Any physiognomist would have said
that it was the face of man who was
sure to succeed in life; but as regarded
worldly gains, Samuel Wake was decid-
edly an unquestionable failure. He
had had his chances and had been
master of a shop and business of his
own, and yet here he was at sixty
eight in the position of a servant, TAX
ing care of another mans shop and sell
ling another mans goods. It was no
wonder if Michael, in his energetic
struggle to get to the front, looked back
sometimes with quiet contempt on Sam
uel Wake.
There's a look of my poor Ruth
about you," he said; and the deep voice
softened as old memories came back
81 know why they call you Olive, it was
your grandmother's name. You never
saw her, but knew her we'll. I'm
glad they have given her name to you,
my child, for hers was spirit of
peace"
Mrs. Wake was a woman of fragile
and shadowy aspect. When she was
young she must have been fair and
slender like an elm maiden, with a
kind of moonlight prettiness of her
own; but now she was so white and
wan that you almost expected her to
vanish. She always wore shawl and
large shapeless cap, and there was
never any touch of decided color about
her dress. Even her voice was faint
and thin and seemed to come from a
long way off; and altogether she was
such a shade that there was not enough
of her 20 be loved. You might like her
and regard her as sort of harmless
| ghost, who wandered about the house
and walled feebly over the shortcom-
ings of humanity.
She greeted Olive kindly enough and
fitted slowly up a dark staircase to
lead her to a bedroom. The willing lad
had already carried up her box, and
when the door was shut she went to
the glass and surveyed herself discon-
tentedly by gas-light. Out of doors in
the country the sweet May daylight
was lingering still, but night falls early

1t was well that the drive was not
long, for it was becoming intolerable
to them both. The gathering cab
stopped at last in the middle of
crowded thoroughfare, and Michael
told her that this was the Strand and
here was Uncle Wakes shop.
Out of the shop door bolted an eager
lad, head foremost, and received Olives
box upon his willing back. She her.
self seemed to stumble blindly after
him into place that was den of

mans CHEEKY voice, full and deep.
80 this is my niece, Olive" it said.
"You are very welcome, my dear. We
want somebody young here to keep us
from getting old!''
"She's come too late for that" sighed
another voice, thin and melancholy.
1--WE are old already, Samuel, and you
know it well enough"
81 won't admit it for a moment" the
first speaker replied. Nothing ages
people more than talking about their
age"
''Oh, Samuel! We ought willingly to
acknowledge the days of the years of
our pilgrimage, even if we call them
few and evil, as the patriarch Jacob
did"
Jacob was always fond of running
himself down; but he feathered his
nest well, and that's a thing that 1
never could do. Olive, my dear, your
uncle can't feast you on the fat of the
land, but he can give you plenty OF
love-
Never did any promise seem sweeter
to famished heart. In an instant
Olive forgot her shyness and made
straight for the large substantial figure
which was now becoming visible. Her
eyes were getting accustomed to the
twilight of the room behind the shop,
and she had returned Uncle Wakes
hearty kiss and was clinging to him,

CHAPTER VI.
THE FIRST LONDON SUNDAY.


Olive woke up in the morning as
fresh and bright as ever; but she was
little disposed to undervalue her fresh
ness and brightness. She had nothing
better to wear than her village bonnet
and gown, and to-day she was going to
church with Michael. The girls heart
vas very tender and humble; a flash of
disapproval from the eyes she loved
would make her utterly miserable. She
was living in world of feeling, and
only doing her part in the outer world
mechanically.
Uncle Wake glanced at her now and
then as they sat at breakfast, and there
was something in her face that sent his
thoughts straying back into the past.
Some one else used to look at him with
brown eyes like Olives. When she
spoke her voice was an echo of another
voice that had been hushed for years.
The little wan woman who poured out
his coffee was almost forgotten; all the
light and color of his life had died out
with the death of his first love, the wife
of his youth. He had married his first
wife because he had need of her, and
had taken his second because she had
need of him.
