The blow fell heavily on Mildred Fain.
As days and weeks passed by. with no
change in Talbot's singular condition,
she grew thin, and her face wore the
look of one who has little left to care
for Rosalie witnessed her distress with
a sympathy deepened and strangely col
ored by the knowledge she carried. She
had told no one what she knew about
the matter, and this secrecy preyed upon
her No doubt she would have told
Mrs. Roosevelt had it not been for her
aunt's deepseated prejudice against
Ellis. Then. too, circumstances had
rendered the young mans guilt matter
of mystery, if not of serious doubt. in
her mind. No one else seemed to sus-
pect him. and in fact his presence in the
city on the night Of the crime was con-
tradicted by his Icing on the day pre-
vious at Jessup a town many miles
south OF the city, where he had an I'M
portant meeting with railroad friends,
Rosalie often felt an impulse toward
writing to Ellis, but quite as often she
recoiled from the thought. She some
times longed to see him and hear what
he would say to the dreadful accusation.
then she would start and tremble at the
idea Of talking with Eurderer The
poor child-for in experience she was
scarcely more-could do nothing save
brood over this strange dark subject 10y
day and dream Of it by night. Mildred
Fain came often to see her, and they az
gravated rather than softened each
others distress.
Mrs. Roosevelt quickly noticed her
niece's trouble, and after little thought
attributed it to tender feeling on her
part for Colonel Talbot. 1t would have
pleased Aunt Marguerite very much, If
Rosalie must marry, to see her become
the wife of a representative southerner
like Talbot. OF course she was not IN
formed of his engagement with Miss
Fain. as it had not become public, and
he was wealthy, of good family, hand
some and fascinating. But Aunt Mar
guerite was too shrewd woman of the
world to venture any meddling. She
shrank from contemplating such thing
as Rosalie leaving her, even to marry a
low country aristocrat, and she was
afraid to have the subject of love con
sidered between them, for fear that il
once the thought got started it might
never stop.
SO Rosalie was left to bear the burden
of her suspicious, her doubts, her fears,
her hopes, all alone. 1t was great load
for a bright, innocent, unsophisticated
mind to be weighted with. 1t could not
wholly drive out the gayety and spright-
illness: it did not blot the roses and dim
Piles from her cheeks, nor did it dim her
eyes, but it hung like a cloud on the
horizon, all the time threatening to over
cast her whole sky

1t was some weeks after the attempted
assassination of Talbot that Mr.. Roose.
welt, Mr.. Largely and Edgar Julian re-
turned from Florida. After all, they
had been outgeneraled and beaten by
Ellis. Largely had attempted to get a
restraining order ON the affidavit and
bill drawn up by Julian, but Ellis had
avoided the whole matter by persuading
Largely's Floridian coadjutors that il
would be safer to tie their faith to a
southern man rather than to an adven-
turer from Illinois. Mr.. Roosevelt had
interposed with proposition of com
promise, which, being favorable to Sir
Edmond kane's schemes, received the
support of all the foreigners, and was
finally, with some notifications, accept.
ed by Ellis but the victory was with
the young mountaineer, giving him con
troll of strong combination of roads
which, in the future, would be of i'm.
mense value.
II never saw fellow so full of ex-
pedients and sopopular with everybody"
said Largely to Mr.. Roosevelt during the

THE PASSING THRONG.

In talking OF the train robbery yesterday. Rus

an interesting story OF stage robbery in Cali

stage was coming over the mountains from Ne

treasure and three white and two Chinese pas

News From Pitcairn Island.

New York World, Nov. II
The big American clipper ship A.
J. Fuller left San Francisco 104 days
ago. She arrived here early yester-
day morning and came to anchor
just below Liberty island. Capt. Col
cord reported that he stopped at the
lonely South Pacific island of Pitcairn.
81 usually visit Pitcairn" said Capt. Col
cord. when 1 can do so conveniently.
Many of the natives / know personally,
and when go there always get cordial
welcome. l arrived off Bounty bay, the
only accessible part of the island.
on the morning of August IS. The ISL
anders sighted me long before I got
within hailing distance. An American
vessel is always accorded most royal
welcome. Before dropped anchor boat
came out to me. 1t was filled with colon
lists. They all wore gorgeous costumes
that had been given them by passing
vessels.
THE boat was commanded by the chief
magistrate of the island a stalwart, manly
fellow. His assistant accompanied him.
The islanders were glad to see me. Months
had elapsed since they had received any
tIdings of the outside world. The last ship
previous to mine to touch there was an
English ship, which gave them some papers
and other little things which they wanted.
| invited the chief magistrate to come
aboard and we had very pleasant chat.
Peace and happiness reign supreme on
the island. All are well and contented
Sickness among them is almost I'M
known. The chief magistrate informed
me that no death has occurred
on the island in over six years. While
the people eagerly ask for news about the
rest of the world they are as serene and
happy a lot of people as I ever came across.
They informed me that the population of
the island is now 49,
Before they left me I asked the chief if
he wanted anything. He replied: No.
Say that We are all well, prosper
Gus and happy. Providence is good
to us and supplies most of our wants. My
people live happily. want for nothing,
and are perfectly satisfied with what
they have. Call TO see Us again when you
cam Pitcairn is two and quarter
miles IN length, and one mile in breadth.
1t is of volcanic origin. Cocoanuts,
bananas and oranges abound on the
island, and form the peoples chief
article of diet. Its climate is moder-
ate and very healthy. This island is
governed by a magistrate and an assist
ant. The colony was founded in 1890 by
nine mutineers from the British ship
Bounty. They were Joined by six men
and twelve women from the island of
Tahiti. The people all speak English. In
1850 the population numbered 160 The
people are noted for their sober, industri-
Gus habits.

that If China continues TO grow in military
and naval strength for the next fifty years
as the has in the last fifteen, she may
prove thorn in Russia's Asiatic side;
and there are not wanting those who be-
lieve that in her absolutism, in her cruel
and corrupt administration and in her
vast debt Russia carries the seeds OF revo-
luton, If not dismemberment and death
as an empire, before another hundred
years.
Nevertheless the weight of European
opinion seems to be with Bismarck that
Russia is not likely TO be worsted IN her
struggle with Austria 20 absorb Turkey,
and that Germany's wisest course for the
future would be to checkmate France by
suffering Russia TO absorb Turkey in
Europe with the understanding that Ger
many should be given the German
speaking provinces of Russia and
Austria in the deal that would in
evitably follow the victory of Russia. It
is true that the Dreibund, or triple alIi-
ance between Austria, Germany and Italy
exists, but Italy finds it very burdensome,
and to gain an obvious advantage Ger
many could well afford to drop Austria,
take Russia for an ally and thus feel Sc
cure against France, Otherwise Germany
stands between two fires. Bismarck's
judgment seems sound, when he says in
substance: Germany cannot hope with
her present allies TO successfully fight
both France and Russia; she cannot make
friend Of France, but she can checkmate
Frances game by making friend and
