CHAPTER II.
/ BITTER BARGAIN


I; was barely daylight when Vida wrap
ped in a fur-lined cloak, came down into
the hail, where some of the lower domestics
were engaged in busting and cleaning.
She glanced ON one to the other quickly,
and singing GU a strong brown-faced coun-
try lass, asked if she could take a message
for her.
IF you please, MISS" replied the girl,
courtesying.
Then tell Phoebe that am going out for
a walk" said Vida, through the village,
and If Miss Moore Is coming out she had bet
ter take the road past the old mill"
Eyes, miss"
II must have no bungling," Vida mntter-
ed as she ventured out, mo chance inter-
furtion. And now for my gipsy-lover-my
dark-eyed audacious scoundrel Of the tents,
who has honored me with a confession in
looks he dared not put in words"
Among other amiable qualities which dis
tinguished Mr.. Moore, he was very tolerant
with nomadic people, and his estate was a
veritab.e happy hunting-ground for the
gipsies.
There was always one or more OF their
camps pitched in some seQuestered spot in
the woods, and just then there was body OF

the Bluebell Dell.
At the head of them was an old woman
who claimed TO have enjoyed hundred
years existence, and was probably near that
age and she was tie Hecate from which the
tribe took its name.
Several men with wives, we'll on in years,
were her sons, and their children In turn
had married, and had sons and daughters,
and there was fourth generation Of little
ones.
One Of the elder men, the youngest son Of
Hecate, was known as jim the Snowman,
ne having by industry and thrift arrived at
the dignity Of possessing a trayeling-van.
He was man about Mr.. Moore's age, and
he had wife, who, in her style, was as
handsome as Mrs. Moore, with the same adj
vantage Of lingering youth in appearance.
These two were the aristocratic portion
Of the tribe, and the objects Of Hecate's I'M
bounded love.
MY darling Jim and Sablna," she called
them.
There had been a darling younger daugh-
ter once, but she had lain for score years
or more'under the greensward hfty miles
away. Her story was sad one.
She had given her heartto "house-dwell-
err" man of rank and wealth who had
wooed her selfshly and left her basely.
When he had been gone six months lit
tie baby came into the world, and his moth
er called him Bardoph.
She died, end nc became old Hecate's

grew ND 10 handsome manhood.

The German Reichstag Refuses to Raise
the Prohibition of American Pork.

BERLIN, Jan. 23--In the Rciehstag to-
day the motion to repeal the prohibition
of the importation of American pork was
put to vote, and was defeated by 1873 to 1903.
DR.. Windthorst said he regarded the pro-
hihition as sanitary measure, but other
wise he would uphold the motion for re-
peal in order to lower prices of meat DIR.
Won Boetticher followed, referring to what
he considered the evil results of the gov
eminent opening the Russian frontier of
Germany to pork imports. Not single
consignment, he said, had yet proved free
of disease. The Americans had a system
of meat inspection in their towns only,
although they themselves were very strict
In controlling cattle importations.1
Herr Marquardson, national liberal,
who also spoke on the repeal motion, an
nounced that his party favored the repeal
Herr Bebel, socialist said the discomfort
of the people at the high price of meat was
very great. The pig breeding done by
small traders was no reason to refuse To
repeal the order. 1t WIS not the question
of the profits of small dealers which led
the government to maintain the prohibit
ton; it was the interest of the large owners
which was served in resisting the repeal.
DIR. Won Boetticher again arose and de-
cared that the government had not waited
for the expression of discomfort of the
people, but had been continually occupied
with the particular question at issue A
recent case of trichinOsis at Cologne, he
said, was attributed to the use of Amer
lean pork which had been smuggled in
from Holland
The vote on the pork question was then
taken

He stated that he had written account
Of facts surrounding the death of

Mr.. Blaine was not the author of the

by subaltern and signed by
the Secretary of State without careful
perusal Mr.. Miner is not over-san-
guine that the treaty between the five

mala and Salvador are now
