kind of melancholy dreaming. Write to Jane, and tell her that you want to come back to the old shirc!'
 He looked irresolute. She sprang up and got pen, ink and paper.
 "Thcre," she said dipping the pen in the ink, and putting it into his hand "I will stand over you rcsolutely till the letter is written"
 And she laughcd-a soft, merry laugh that seemed to come ringing back from the past.
 He had never heard her laugh since she had come to London, and the sound recalled their early days as nothing else had ever done. Once more he was a shy lad, roaming through old meadows with two happy girls. Once moro he seemed to breathe that fresh, free air that has a wild poetry in it, and sings to the heart like sweet song. The scent of the fields, the keen breath of morn ing, the perfume of honeysuclxle on the warm evening breeze, all this came Back to him again.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-01-08

Olive was right. Among the old downs he might find his true self again and be a happier man than he could ever have been in London. Some men are always rustics at heart-they lose all sense of freedom in cities, and con- stant intercourse with many people drives them back into the grim fortress of self. Aaron had never thriven on London scil; the fresh hill breeze had often whispered to him in the crowded streets and brought tears to his eyes. He was pass .onately in love with his old home, anG his heart refused to ad- init any new ffections. It was this morbid faithful ness that had made him cling to Michael and had made Michael almost hate him.
 His face had softened when Olive laughed. Both faces seemed to grow younger as they bent over the sheet of note-paper; hers had recaptured the sunny playfulncss that sorrow had driven away, his had regained the old boyish look of sober amusement While the sunshine of the moment lin- gercd about him he began to write, and so the letter was finished and folded and stamped, and actually dropped into a letter-boX.
 That letter came to Eastmoen in the gray of a winter morning, when Jane ChallOck, having given her father his breakfast, was standing at the cottage door. A robin had broken the chill silence with its clear song, uncon- sciously cheering Jane's heart as she looked out across the bare garden. The well-known step of the postman sounded on the road, but Jane had left off look. ing for letters from Aaron, and was trying to live on unsustained by the old hope. Yet she started and felt hel heart throbbing very fast when the man paused at the gate.
 She ran out to receive the letter. Per haps it was for Mrs. Hooper or Mrs. Challock. Olive wrote regularly tc them both. But no, this letter was ad. dressed to Jane herself in Aaron's we'll remembered handwriting. The warm blood rushed to her cheeks, and she was rosy and gay in spite of the bleak morn ing.
 She carried her treasure into Mrs. Hooper's cottage that she might enjoy it in peace; for Peggy Challock, her sis, ter had habit of tarnishing the luster of new joys by few chilly words. Peggy had never had any lovers of her own, and always steadily refused to be lieve in other peoples sweethearts unti

Hill in the Senate---PrOceedings of tE
 House.


 House. WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The very brief session of the Senate yesterday was di- versified only by Gov. Hills reception on She floor and his entrance upon his Sena- torial duties
 So soon as the journal had been read MT. Hlscock taking his stand in the cen tre aisle, at the entrance of the chamber said:
 ''Mr President, David B. Hill. Sen ator from the State of New ' ork is pres ent suggest that the oath of office be administered to him.
 Escorted by Mir. Hiscock Mr. Hill ad- Vanced to the desk and was sworn in. After Fice-PresiGent had administered the oath that made Mr. Hill a Senator of the United States he shook hands with the new member and Senator Hill went back to his seat
 He was surrounded by d group of fel- low-Senators and members of the House and for q short time held quite a recep- tion.
 There were so many members of the House anxious to grasp the new Senators hand that Representative Catchings of Mississippi was called to form them in line.
 Senators generally were desirous of getting down to committee work, and after adopting with pleasant unanimity Mr. Morgan's Nicaraua Canal resolution, adjourned until Wednesday.
 There were probably two hundred ad- ditional bills added to the House calen- dar, the call of States for that purpose having been completed prior to adjourn ment. None of them were of startling or unusual nature; they principally re- lated to financial and economic matters Mir Enloe proposed the repeal of the en- tire Mckinley bill, and numerous addi- tions to the free list were proposed. A number of free silver coinage bills and bills to establish an income tax were introduced.
 Mr Blunt moved to reconsider the vote by which the Senate joint resolution ap- propriating $100,0 900 to enable the Secre- tary of the Navy to charter ships to carry the contributions of American citizens to the suffering residents of Russia, was in definitely postponed Wednesday. It went over for consideration at a future time A resolution was introduced directing the Secretary to detail enough naval yes sels to carry those contributions to desti- nations. On motion. adjourned.

EXCITEMENT IN LONDON.
Reported Occupation of an African Tow
 by British Causes a Scare

Dy British Causes 0 Scare.
 LONDON, Jan. 9.-The Stock Exchange yesterday was in a state of wild excite ment owing to very warlike rumor This report, as spread, was to the effect that the British war vessels at Tangier had landed a force of blue jackets and marines at that place.
 It was added that the French admiral there had given the British admiral notice that France gave England twenty four hours in which to re-embark her landing party, and if it was not done at the expiration of that time the French fleet would attack the British warships.
 Inquiries made at the Admiralty and at the foreign office failed to obtain confirmation or denial of the news, but the report spread with marvellous rapid 1ty, and soon was the crazy topic of London.
 The report, though discredited on all sides, caused most dangerous feeling in the stock market.
 Advices from West Africa this morninp state that the British warship Racer landed body of marines to make night attack upon town in Gambia named Marige, held by chief who for some time has been annoying the settlements by frequent raids. The marines effected a complete surprise. They destroyed the town, but the chief managed to escape In the attack one marine was wounded. The town attacked was within territory claimed by Great Britain.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-01-08

they became husbands. Michael Chase had proved himself utterly false; Aaron Fenlal1e had forgotten old attachments; men were all alike, and sensible girls ought not to allow themselves to be taken in. As no one had ever attempted to take Peggy in, she had never been exposed to any danger; but she went on aiming her warnings into Jane's ears until the girl was tired of hearing them
 So Jane read her letter in the friendly shelter of Mrs. Hooper's kitchen, and the old woman and the young one re- joiced together They rcjoiced all the uore because old Bartlett, the well-to- do miller, was looking about for a steady young man to help him in his business and be the prop of his old age And who could be steadier than Aaron?
 The two women breakfasted together, and then set off through the lanes to old Bartlett, just as the slow day had struggled into light. The stars in their courses seemed to be fighting for Jane at last. The miller had known Aaron from boy and had great faith in his sober, silent ways. Aaron, he said, was welcome to come to him as soon as he liked; the sooner the better.
 And so it came to pass that Aaron's steps turned homeward. He went to sec Olive, and told her that he was go- ing back to Jane and Eastmeon. She frightened at the news.
 ''Olivc," he said, looking at her wist- fully, II wish you too were going back to the old place. A great deal is said about beginning new life; but think that with some of us a new life means a return to the old"
 "YcS, with some of us," she an- swered. Your old life was the true life, Aaron, and your old love is the true love-"
 He turned away from her with a sigh. The gentle patience in her face was almost more than he could bear; and his old bitter feeling against Michael returned in full force Was it just that a man who had done so much wrong should go unpunished? II should like to stand face to face with him for minute or two," he nut tered between his teeth.
 If you ever meet him face to face, Aaron, l hope your heart will be softened," Olive said quietly. "Until we can forgive, we can never be healed. The prayer for those who have despite fully used us is the balm for our own wounds. When you refuse to pardon Michael, you reject blessing"
 "I will try not to think about him., Aaron answered. That's all can say yet. There's little good in making be- licve to forgive when you can't. Good by, Olive; I hope we shall see you at Eastmeon again by and by"
 "Yes. Aaron" Her face frightened again. II will come and see you and your own.'
 had closed behind him Olive sat think ing for a little while.
 Aaron was going back, as she had
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-01-08

said, to that old love which was the true love; but for her there was nothing to go back to. There in Eastmeon, here in London, she was alone; and her soli- tude was of that invisible kind of which the chaplain had spoken. And then other words of his came back also. ''The life of earnest duty and simple devotion-of patient endurance and loving communion''-was she not striv- ing to live it? And had she not felt in her soul that sweet sense of spiritual companiOnship which Christ imparts? This was not feeling to be talked of; if you described it in everyday lan- guage you lost something of it's sacred ness. Olive always felt that in an ar gument with clever materialist, she would assuredly get the worst of it.
 The next day was Saturday, and the
 flower shop closed early. She had been out in the afternoon on an errand of Mrs. Wakes, and was coming back into the first shadows of the dusk, when she saw face that she knew. It was Michael himself, who passed her in the falling twilight. He did not see her; his eyes looked straight before him, but she had a glimpse of his worn, haggard face. It was as if the ghost of her old lover had appeared to her; he was so wan and wasted, so utterly changed. Aaron had dropped hints about Michaels marriage, which was generally thought to be an unhappy one; but Olive had refused to listen "Tell me nothing" she had said, firm ly. There was no need for her to be told anything; Michael Chase's story was written on his altered features. A successful man he might be, but never a happy one.
 The girl whom he had so cruelty wronged glided past him into the gloaming; her face pale, her lips pressed tightly together. For a mo- ment she had felt sharp pain; pity for herself, a still deeper pity for him, took possession of her and she walked on, seeing nothing and hearing nothing, although the streets were crowded as usual. But the peace that she had gained was not of the kind that can be easily snatched away; it had taken a deep root in her heart and it's sweet ness prevailed over that transient bit terneSs.
 She did not know then that she had seen her old sweetheart for the last time on earth. Long after wards she was glad that she had seen him; glad that she had linked his name with her prayers that night, and asked that the blessing he had despised might be granted to him at her petition.

 LONDON, Jan. 9.--The Bankruptcy Court has ordered a strict inquiry to be made into the formation and the whole history of the United States Gold Placers Com, pany, which recently failed in manner most disastrous to numerous persons that had invested in it's securities.
 The company was formed in 1886, fol the object, as stated in the prospectus, oi acquiring the Cottonwood Placers, com, prising 800 acres of auriferous gravel or the banks of the River San Miguel, in Colorado.
 The prospectus gave out every reason to expect yearly profits of G148,000 on q capital investment of e150,0O0 divided among $50 holders
 It is now alleged that the scheme was from its inception a shameful swindle.
