WasHisGToS CIrY. Dec. s.-The Torrey
bankruptcy bill was strangled unex-
pectediy by the house just as the consider
alton of the bill under tho five-minuse
rule was about TO begin. Oates, cham
pion of the measure had declined 10 per
init the house to vote on Bailey's substi-
iute providing simply for a voluntary sys-
tenn of bankruptcy. whereupon Bland pre-
eipitated the entire question by moving to
strike out the enacting clause of the bill.
Vainly the advocates OF the measure pro-
tested that it was unfair to reject the bill
before the house had had q chance to per-
feet it by amendments. Their pleadings
were unavailing. The vote was de-
cisive, and the motion was car

AUCKLAND. New Zealand. Dec. a.-The

Honolulu on November ~. All was quiet
there. The news that President Cleveland
intended 10 restore the queen caused great
excitement. IL was discussed by excited
Knots OF people on the streets, and was
generally condemned.
rumor was published In the Honolulu
papers that the queen was not wiling To
accept restoration unless assured of the
armed support OF the United states.
The HGwaiian Gazette of November "a
says: .'In the meantime the monarchy is
not restored and will not be. unless by the
armed forces of the United States, whose
forces must then continue to support the
exqueen. There may be small differences
IN the ranks of the party Of reform.
but We are today more united and
determined on the main issue than ever
before. Let every reformer put aside
all other and minor things. As
surely a. there is eternal justice
overruling the affairs of men, so surely
will the gross outrage proposed to be done

William, Did.

HIS poetic soul had gone out to the
girl In a great wave Of ineffable devo-
ton.
She knew that he loved her and she
was content, but the love she had in
her mind was not of that misty, imma-
terial kind which feeds on moonlight
and clothes itself in the pink and white
garniture Of the flowers.
SILL she did not seek to make discord-
ant the melodiouS music OF his tender
pleadlngs.
On the contrary, she rather encour-
aged him In IL, for she knew the time
would come when the poetry Of his pas
sion would read more like an advertis-
ment for secondhand furniture on the
inStallment plan.
So thus encouraged, he came at last
ITO the point Of proposal.
Irene" he said, with deep, pathetic,
soulful, urging intensity, IL love you.
May lay my heart at your feet?"
The time had come when the girl
must speak.
She had no wish to lose this loyal low
er, but she knew the beginning Of the
end Of the beautiful romance hal ar
rived.
She gave him her hand.
"NO, William" she said earnestly,
''you cannot"
William turned pale. He had been so
hopeful. The sunshine OF her prefer
ence had never been clouded before.
What could it mean?
lie tried to speak, but his tongue re-
fused to do its Office.
lyon cannot" she went on firmly,
''because this carpet cost So per yard,
and If you should lay your heart at my
feet, at least width Of it would be
ruined, and we would never be able 10
match it again. Let your heart keep
right on at the old stand, William,

William did.

or eight hours had been riding along
the bank of the Big Sandy river, getting
what comfort l could out of rubber
coat. when l saw a man sitting on the

mountain. He had gun across his
lap and he was soaking wet, but ap-
peared TO be taking itphilosophically.
Glow are you?" 4 said as came up.
"How far is it t1lNorton's?"
About fo%f mile" he replied briefly.

"Well, l suppose" l said nervously,
"that the rain is al right. The Good
Book says the Lord sends it on the just
and the unjust alike"
The mans face showed CLEAN OF in
telligent recognition or appreciation or

"DO you believe what the Good Book

Just then heard long whistle in

off the fence and was going down the
mountain at break-neck speed, and did
not remain TO hear what took place.

A Chicago Fairy.

He loved her more than tongue could
tell
At least more than his tongue could
tell, for he had been telling her of it
for months and is still at it seven nights
a week.
He was sweet and musical as bright
Apollo's lutte, strung with his own hair,
and when he spoke the voice of all the
gods made Heaven drowsy with the har-
mony.
Naturally, under such circumstances,
the girl liked to listen.
Yet she had lived in Chicago so many
winters that she had some doubts about
love keeping the cold out better than a
cloak, and serving for food and raj
ment.
Spareribs and sealskin she knew were
more comfortable from practical
standpoint.
Yet she loved to listen to this lovers
love.
It's weakness women have, even in
Chicago.
On this occasion he had been talking
to her of his love and his hopes for the
future.
II have so much to live for, " he whis-
pered teuderly, as he took her in his
great strong arms.
She looked up into his face trustfully.
Il should say you did. George" she
said with charming naiyete; 81 weighed
200 pounds to-day on papa's hog scales"
"Birdie," he murmursd joyously, and
kissed her.
