CHAPTER TX.

Wednesday morning-a day never to b.
forgotten; the twcn y~-lirst OF Maya date
ever to lie remembered! 1 rose with the
sun. The morning was so beautiful tina,
one could hardly. believe in the clouds and
storm of the day be.ore. The air was sweet
and ire-h after the rain; the grass was of a
brighter green, the leaves had a deeper hue.
and the flowers held up their heads with
renewed lie.
When l opened my window, the odor o
the lilacs came to me. l could Sc lar

early morning, the fresh sweet air. the
CLINT of the sun on the leaves. But he

the muse OF wind and leaf reached him no
longer. A longing impatience seized ME

forgot all about the visitors in the house.
My heart was on fire with the anguish OF
my bitter desolatlon. never since MARX

small to hold me and my great sorrow
out where l could see the blue heavens.

how sweet were the lilacs! 1t could not

Mark went from Ms.
l went to the lilac-trees, fresher and
sweeter than eyer after the rain, and sat
down. The warm May sunshine fell
around me, the birds were calling to each
other, the dew lay upon the grass. 1 tried
to forget the present and live Tor a short
time in the past. l pictured the May
morning at Gracelieu, on my seventeenth
birthday, the pretty old home buried in the
trees, the distant CLEAN of the river, the
shade Of the deep green woods, and
the lovely group of lilac-trees

1t was evident that Lady. Yorke was deep

said candidly that 1t was Lord Severne
rather than his wife who had pleased her.
We a many discussions anout them, and
it seemed to me that Lady Severne did not

husband or vile. Lord Yorke, who wa

materna, Affection Of Seals,

The effort of the United States and
England to stop the indiscriminate
slaughter of seals in Behring Sea has
led to some interesting discoveries rel
alive to the habits of the valuable an
imal. 1t was shown in the course of
the investigation that the breeding
places selected by the seals are often
fifty miles from their feeding grounds.
This fact led Mr.. Blaine to infer that
many young seals must perish as q
consequence ofthe mothers being killed
while in quest of their daily food. But
Sir Charles Topper seemed to excel the
distinguished Secretary in thedomain
OF natural history. for he insisted
that the mothers never for an instant
leave their little ones during the suck
ling period. Sir Charles was right.
The mother suckles the youngster
only twelve days, and eats nothing in
the meantime, except some bits of
Sawed that may come within reach.
This fact has been lately demon
strated by the commissioners, who
killed several female seals during the
sucking time and found in their stom-
achs nothing but q little seaweed and
some pebbles.

OUR INCREASING PENSION
LIST.
N. Y. Herald.

N. Y. Herald.
The Herald Bureau in Washington
furnishes us with some very suggest
| i've facts in connection with pensions.
Commissioner Raum will find it
rather difficult to give anything like
,he accurate 6gures In his report and
avoid startling tho people of this
country. He will probably scale
down to It's minimum the amount
ueeded for the coming year, but even
then 1T will reach total sum of
enormous extent.
For the fiscal year 1Se0-sl pen
sions absorbed from the Treasury
something like one hundred and
twenty-five million dollars. However,
As Mr.. Ingalls,, of Kansas. once said
when he was coqaeting with the
soldier vose-that one thousand
millions were none too much, this
one hundred and twenty-five millions
seems a petty sum.
In 1892 the amount demanded was
one hundred and forty-four million
dollars and there was come BOGUS
oocus ahnnt even thar amount, for it
vas soon Uncovered that an addi-
tional eighteen millions we're needed.
Fer the coming year one hundred
and eighty million dollars will be
required. Raum, who knows better,
tells US that the end will then be
reached. Secretary Foster, however,
IS more oandia and freely admits
that before long the pension list viii
cover fully two hundred and fifty
million dollars.
At any rate, there were three
lundred and eleven thousand pen,
,lons granted during the last year.
and there are moro than three hun
dred thousand cases now on the
docket to be heard from.
These are large figures. II they
represent assistance to actually
disabled veterans that is one thing;
If they represent forty per cent of
fraud, as has been declared, that Is
very different thing.

it is often the case that ladies

Tie DEMOCRAT begs leave to call
the attention of the ladies' to the

have we expressed in these columns
our views on this subject. The la

from home to purchase things at a
higher price than they would have
to pay here, and then the odds are
against them besides; for in most
cases what they order they have
to keep, while here they can take
their choice OF what they find.

THF DEMOCRAT to say anything
about who Mr. Kltchin is or what
he has done for the democracy OF
North Carolina. These things are
better known to the people.of the

ner: and as to a matter of informa-
tion it would be more in accord WITH
the fitness of things for Mr.. Kitch>

tempt to tell them who he Is.

ure IN making known through these
columns the fact that Mr.. Kltchln
is a candidate for the place named;
and we but speak the sentiment OF
thousands of his fellow citizens
when We say that he ought to re-
cetve the appointment. He has
worked in and out of season for de-
mocracy for quarter OF a century;
we have known him well for the
past ten yeas, and so far as we are
informed he has never asked for
any appointment before; and to re-
fuse to give this would, it seems to
us, be a stroke of great ingratitude
equal to that described by Shakes
peare IN the daughters of KING
Lear.
But we believe that lie will re.
ceive the appointment and that
those who have any influence id
the matter will gladly exert it fol
him.
