''for am sure he would not lead Mr..
Arundel into danger"
'No, indeed Arundel interrupted.
''This is not the first time l have been
out under his protection, and l can bear
testimony that no one could be more
considerate and careful than he is. If
harm comes to us tonight, rest satisfied
it will be through no fault of his
'Pshaw!' Damiens sneered with a
laugh, which showed every one of his
white, cleaning teeth-teeth for which
duke would have bartered his coronet
-"what precious fuss you people are
making tonight over a handful of snow
and cupful of wind. One would think
that Mr.. Arundel and myself were
made of maple-sugar to hear you talk.
Make up your mind, Miss Arlington, to
forget the storm; for, if you will fortify
us with cup of Dolmans old cider
hot, with a roasted crab in it-I will
undertake to land your friend safe and
sound at Glastonbury inside of two
hours of the time of starting"
Yer couldn't do itr' Dolman cried
disputatiously. Eyer couldn't begin ter
do it, 'Phonse; onless yer crossed the
bay at Breckenridge's farm, an no man
in his senses 'ud try sich a game as that
on night like this"
None but Dolman saw the threatening
glance of the Frenchmans eye as he
uttered these words.
Don't you think I'm capable of hand
ling the bashaws, Dolman?" Damiens
asked fiercely. "P'raps you'd like to
send one of the 'gyurls' to take care
of us?'
While Damiens and Dolman fetched
the horses round to the door, Wanda,
with her own fair hands, was engaged
in muff1ing up George Arundel for his
midnight ride.
1T is bitterly cold outside" she said,
with a shudder. II wish 1 could per-
suade you and Mr.. Damiens to stay all
night at the hotel"
And frighten poor old Bladon out of
his wits? Why, he would arouse the
whole city with his lamentations if
did not put in an appearance" George
demonstrated, with light laugh.
''Then, good-by, which, / believe,
means God be with your" Wanda said,
a little solemnly.
He is always with those who trust
in Him." Arundel replied, catching the
tone of her mood.
Alphonse Damiens' horses merited
the high enconiums passed upon them.
They were coal-blacl1 "bashaws," with
skins as sleek as satin, and it was all
that their master and Dolman could do
to hold them while George Arundel,
with the awlwardness of a blind man,
got into his place.

CHAPTER X

CHAPTER X
wANDA'S FIRST OFFER
How glad George Arundel was to
meet her, and she gave him both her
hands, while her face beamed with JOY
to welcome him. There was no fear of
this generous friend annoying her by
pleading his suit, though she knew that
he loved her very dearly. Women like
to be loved. / would not give fig for
the woman who does not, and who can
not spare little bit of tenderness for
the man whose devotion pleases her,
and yet be loyal to him who is king of
her affections
So Wanda Arlington exerted her best
efforts to make it pleasant for her blind
friend, who was in seventh heaven of
delight. She had such tact, too, as AL
phonse Damiens noticed with glowing
eyes. George Arundel's wishes were
anticipated before he could express
them. She fitted round his chair with
tender solicitude which was madden
ing to the young Frenchman, and alto
gether conducted herself in such way
that a hell of jealousy was raging in
his heart, though pleasant words tripped
from his smiling lips.
Outside n storm was gathering. The
wind came bowling up the river with q
roar that deafened one and dashed the
sleet in fierce furries against the win
dow shutters then was as suddenly

Guess we're gwine ter hev biz

Counties.

The ominous m,.ortance OF these hg.
ures grows as the figures are weighed
What is true of ten average counties Is
true more or less of whole state, and
to say that nearly third of the farms
of Kansas. and nearly a half of the
homes are rented. and that over 60 per
cent. of the other farms and over 40
per cent. of the other homes. are heav-
lily mortgaged, is to show that the tar
iff has not been such a blessSag to the
western farmer as its suppor,eys have
given US to believe, and also thas the
talk about plenty of free land or cheap
land to be had in Kansas is a delusion
and a snare. These figures mean, in
plain terms that the people of Kansas
are being divorced from the soil and
are becoming renters; that the process
of divorce is rapidly accelerating, it
having increased $50 per cent in ten
years, and that before many decades. if
present conditions prevail, there will
come to pass much the same order of
things as exist in deeply-sympathized-
with ireland, where few are owners
and the mass are tenants or the hired
servants of tenants. Indeed, there
would be great difference to the dis
advantage of the American tenants; tho
eviction laws are much harsher in
America than in Ireland, and American
citizens could, and can to-day, be more
cruelty treated with the sanction of the
law than can be shown has been the
case in any one instance through the
protracted period of the Irish agrarian
agitation.
Doubtless when the tabulation of the
returns of some of the northwestern
states commences, an even worse condi'
ton of things will be discovered, as the
recorded mortgage Indebtedness which
has already been investigated was
found to be heaviest there. There are
other states in the west that will prob
ably present better showing than
Kansas and Ohio, but it is certain that
representing the general condition
throughout the west.
When the investigation comes east,
it is the expectation that a very much
worse state of things will be revealed,
for there concentrating tendencies have
been longer at work. In such a state
as Massachusetts, for instance, it is cer-
tain that landownership has become
highly concentrated, since the popula-
ton has been packing into the cities at
an accelerated speed. When examina-
tion comes to the great cities it will not
be surprising if the condition discover.

Single Tax and Socialism.

Henry George has put most concisely
the difference between the Socialists
and single takers. a difference which
the Post-Intelligencer has declined to
recognize: 'They (the Socialists) pro-
pose to cure the evils that have come
of restriction by more restriction. We

were fixed on the river.
With pardonable curiosity Wanda
opened the front door and called to ask
them what they saw.
''Oh, teacher, come here. Come.
quick" was the eager demand of the
little ones.
What is it?" she cried, not caring to
wet her feet unnecessarily.
''There! by yonder big icebergn'
Johnnie's ideas of icebergs were as
much at fault as his photography.
Yes, certainly there was something
creeping over the snow in the far dis
tance, which in the indistinct light might
to Wanda's inexperienced eyes have
been a wolf or dog; but the urchins
were right, for as it got nearer, Miss
Arlington recognized it as a horse-a
black horse, with broken harness trail
ing in the snow.
BY the time the poor thing had
reached the shore and stood with head
bent low at the foot of the bank-its
knees broken and bleeding, its coat COW
cred with frozen gouts of blood, and
great cash visible on its quivering
shoulder-James Dolman had Joined
the group.
''Jerusha!' he cried, his sallow face
turning even deeper yellow, ''ef thet
amt one of 'Phonse's bashaws.'
Wanda turned sick at the thought.
She would have fallen-the street
seemed to be reeling round her--had
she not clung to the arm of a girl
standing by, who looked with wonder at
the young teachers emotion.
Are YOU sure, Mr.. Dolman," she
said as soon as her trembling lips could
frame the words: Are you sure that it
is one of Mr. DamienS' horses?"
''Sure!" sneered Dolman, ''ther amt
another horse O. thet breed i the hull

'.And some accident must have hap
pened?"
Like es not I said how it 'ud be
last night, when they would start in
the blizzard. 'Phonse Damiens' wrists
is like steel, but he couldn't hold them
bashaws eff the sleet cut EN-"
But you said last night they would
be quite safe, Mr.. Dolman. You urged
Mr.. Arundel to CO." Wanda remon-
strated.
Safe. 1 said no sich thing. But thet
horse must be helped to shelter, an
you'd better go in the house. Cryin'
won't do no good. Besides, how dye
know they're hurt? 'Tain't the fust

''Then, for heavens sake" Wanda
cried, give the alarm and get men to
go with you to their rescue! Oh, if
were only q man. the girl sobbed,
crazed at his deliberation.
''Oh, We'll go fast enough soon cs
we've got this poor critter in the stable.
The hoss is alive, miss-the men may
be dead, for all we know" and James
Dolman, not to be perverted from his
intentions by girls tears, climbed
down the bank to the side of the quiv-
ering horse.
But by this time the news had spread
through the village and little crowd
had quickly gathered on the river bank.
The men looked grave as they dis
cussed the situation, and Wanda gath
cred no hope from their sad faces. By
this time the mist was arising from the
river, and eager eyes were strained
along its northern channel

Adding another $500 to any
possible lncidentals omitted would
make the cost Of q Constitutional
Conventisn conducted economically
about $4,000.
In addition to the actual cost OF
holding the convention thore is tho
cost Of q special election to elect dole

over radicalism 10 the coming No
vember election.
To this end there must be har-
mony, loyalty and devotion to party
and its principles. 1t is country
and party at stake. All the commo-
ton in the shape of strikes and
riots and anarchistic movements are
the natural outcome of the oppres-
sion felt by the great majority OF
the nations inhabitants, through the
offspring of high protective tariff,
which fosters the great corporations,
combines and trusts of the country,
and the democratic party, if true to
its time-honored principles, is the
only rescuer from this direful state
of things to-day
Above all, this to the southern
states specially, and to all states, is
the certainty of the force bill of
Cabot Lodge, or some equally damn
able enactment if the radical party
is elected and placed in control.
Democrats! nay! Americans can you
look such an enormity in the face
and be unmoved? The party of the
people, the old democratic party,
calls upon and expects every man to
do his whole duty in the coming
battle. Let no man who is demo-
crat be found with laggard written
in his history.
The FLoR1D1AN is consecrated to
the work, and will leave no stone
unturned, no word unwritten, that
may accomplish the least toward a
complete victory. Away with sore
Medicines, with di 8 gruntl e d
thoughts, with disappointed ambi-
ton, and with a good old pure dem
ocratic spirit of truth let every man
consecrate himself to victory. We
take courage in the knowledge that
every party that has confronted the
democratic party has died, save the
present republican party, and that is
ready for demise if thoroug h y
beaten this time. Let US beat it,
and let it die.
