The work of building this village
was a mammoth undertaking for the
little brown people who inhabit it, but
IN their leisurely fashion they finally
accomplished it. and are now quite
comfortable and contented in their
little dove-cotes of houses.
Nearly as odd as the houses OF the
diminutive Javanese are the huts of the
Fijians, close by on the opposite side of
the Plaisance. Strongly resembling
scooped-out straw stacks of an ancient
date, they nevertheless afford the in
habitants ample protection from all
kinds of weather. This is all that is
required OF them. as the highest con-
ception of comfort of which these peo-
pie are capable is full stomach and a

such reckless wild letters and tell me
that she was coming back to me. She
kept me in fear. 1 thought, if disgrace
awaited me, you should not be involved

John, and sent me her child to care for,

Especial Chicago Correspondence1
There never was a queerer lot of
buildings gotten together than are to
be sesn in the Columbian metropolis at
Jackson park. Scattered throughout
the grounds are all the different styles
of architecture of every race of people
on the globe, from the bush hut of the
Australian ranger to the palace of the
American millionaire.
A study of the primitive structures of
the savages of far distant islands of the
great oceans is afforded the people Of
the big cities of civilization, who but
for this grand fair would have had no
knowledge of them save that CLEANED
from books of travel There is also an
excellent opportunity to become &C
quainted with the manners and customs
Of the strange races of the earth in
their everyday life at the fair, for
everything is just as it is in their native
villages beyond the big waters.
In the fair grounds proper there are
the Esquimaux, the cliff dwellers of
the southwest and the aborigines Of
the eastern states. These are domi-
ciled each colony by itself in dwellings
fashioned after those of their native
habitations, conforming as near as pos
sible to the native architecture for the
benefit of the civilized world.
The little people of the extreme north
in their enforced imitation of semi
tropic customs are not altogether in
their proper element. but they manage
to hang on to the ragged edge of exist
ence and give a very faithful repre-
sentation of their home life in the frigi>
zone.
In somewhat as forlorn condition
are the tawny-skinned denizens of the
mountains of Mexico, who, in order to
carry out the idea of being domiciled
in their native state, are compelled to

wife the detectives owed the clew that
they had just followed out to so triurn-
phant finale.
Slowly light broke over Ida's hag-
gard face. "Come here, Ninette," she
said, aloud. 81 want you. dear"
Ninette came gladly, wiping her wet
eyes on the cuff of her little wrapper.
Her aunt looked at her musingly.
Little child, wonder if you could
soften her hard, hard heart? She used
to love you. Perhaps, for your sake
We will try it! We will go to her.
AS she opened the door that led into
the street, half an hour later, Dennis
Lorimer stopped in front of it.
Barton County democrat., 1893-08-24

She called his name in a husky
whisper. Her voice seemed deserting
her along with all the other organs that
had been essential in that other world
she used to live in. She had needed
voice once, when as girl, as woman,
she had breathed and moved in that
other world, at a fair old place called
Glenburnie. But she had nothing in
common with that other girl, that other
world. She was turning TO stone. She
was already petrI6ed. Her heart had
turned to rock. Her tears were so
many hard, cold little pebbles. It was
more comfortable so. 1t helped her to
stand things. And there was so much,
oh, so much, to stand.
''SibleyI'
"We1? I think answered you be-
fore, Ida
''There is one question / would like
to have you answer before-before-''
my case is called?"
sYes.''
''Well?"
''You have never said yet-never to
me, though of course know it, dear,
only would love to have you put it in
words-you have never said, in so many
words: 4 did not do it, Not for the
lawyers-words mean nothing to them;
they are only pebbles for their sings.
But to me, Sibley, the sister who loves
you and whose heart you have broken. -
She was coming towards him with
tender outstretched arms, her worn,
thin face all a-quiver with pain. He
put out repulsing hand before folding
his arms sullenly.
''No. l have never put it into words
for you. 1 did not know it was neces-
sary. Forgive me, child, every pang
have cost you. l asked the prison
authorities to let me breakfast with
you this morning, for knew what this
day would be to you, and 1 wanted, il
possible, to say something comforting
to you. Somehow, I don't seem to have
managed very well. 1 wish you had
some woman friend near you. wish
you had not come to the city with me
1t makes it harder for both of US. Will
you bring the child here and let me say
good-by to her? If it goes against me
shall not see either you or her again
l would not like you to come SO close to
a convicted criminal
Her arms had fallen to her side like
lead. He would not put it into words
1t must be that he could not. She tot
tered from the room to fetch Ninette
In the darker hall she nearly stumbled
Barton County democrat., 1893-08-24

over the two prison officials who were
standing guard at the door of the room
where she and Sibley had just got
through with that dismal breakfast
One of the men put out Il rough hand
with kindly intent. He saved her fall,
for which she did not even thank him.
When she came back along the same
way, after hurried five minutes spent
in rouSing Ninette and buttoning a tiny
dressing gown over her nightdress, the
sentinels were gone. So was Sibley.
He had scrawled message on an enve-
1ope and left it on her napkin.
81 have taken the easiest way for
both of u.s. If l do not come back to
you tonight leave at once for Glen
burnie. l wish you had some woman
friend near you. AS for nay little
daughter, Ida, all / ask of you is to
make of her as true woman as my sis
ter is. She will send no man to the
dogs if you do that"
She sat down on a comfortless chair,
which chanced to be close by the barred
shutters of her one front window, and
clasped her long white hands behind her
head. There was nothing to do but to
wait and to listen. The verdict would
be proclaimed on the streets some time
that day. The Norcross affair was
worth money to the newspapers. The
public would be eager for the extras as
they fell futtering from the presses.
How long she sat there she could not
tell She had lost all record of time.
Perhaps it was another hour. another
day. another week, when she heard it in
the distance-then nearer, shriller, more
distinctly incoherent:
Extra = humble, mumble-"Nor-
cross'-mumble. mumble-''heres your
eXtra!''
She opened her blinds and leaned out
in feveriSh haste. The enterprising
gamin caught her swift motion. He
was across the street and at her win
dow in Il second, with a fresh damp
sheet held aloft. She seized it, flung
him his pay, and drew the shutters to-
gether again with hands which almost
refused their service.
''Guilty!''
Two small arms We're placed about
the bent neck of her crouching figure.
''Auntie. I loves you. 1 loves my
papa. Where is my papa? / want him
to come here"
Ida shook her off ruthlessly. There
was nothing in life worth any atten-
ton but that hinsy printed sheet in her
lap
1t was to spare her father this that
God took him. But why take one and
leave the other?
''Why should /, o Lord of might and
justice, be left to suffer what was too
great for him to bear? Is the infinite
justice. infinite pity. infinite mercy?"
Ninette lifted up her voice in wailing.
The room was dark. That crouching
figure on the floor filled her small soul
with fear. The unusual is full of ter
ror for baby-souls. Ida took no more
note of her than if her wailing had
been the wailing Of the wind in the
tree-tops outside.
For once in her life Ninette was abso-
lutcly forgotten by everybody. Her
aunt was poring again ravenously over
the closely-printed account of the trial.
After long time she looked at Nj
nette curiously. She had just mastered
the situation It was to John Lorimer's

ARTISTIC DECORATION.
The Beautiful Work Done In Corn in
IOwa's Building.

The Iowa state building at the
worlds fair is literally done in corn.
The great cereals which are the basis
of the states wealth have here been
transferred to the realm of art and dec
grafton. For decade or more Iowa
has been celebrated for its ''corn pal
aces" Certain artisans of the state
have acquired great experience in the
manipulation of the cereals for decora-
tive effects; and now in the grand an
niversary year this experience has stood
them in good stead for the production
of rural ornamentation, which will
prove an attractive feature Of the fair.
The main hall of the building is a
Barton County democrat., 1893-08-24

veritable temple of Ceres, where the
skillfu1 use of ruddy and golden corn
ears and cobs successfully Stimulates
the dainty saffron of old laces and the
faded maroon of time-worn velvets, and
where the eye catches mellow shafts
and fugitive glints of dim color, rarely
seen save in the dusky aisles of old
cathedrals.
At first thought, corn-cobS would
seem to be unpromising materials for
an artist to work with, but they have
here been handled with truly marvel
Gus effect in may cubes, rosettes, fes-
toons and panels.
At either end of the hall is large
American eagle wholly in various tints
and hues of corn. the beak and legs
golden, the outstretched wings in red
kernels, shading off to tint as deli
cate the heart of sea-she11.
Twelve MASSIVE columns, swathed in
oats and grasses, studded with mosaic
cubes OF colored corn and huted at the
capitals with millet heads, support the
high ceiling. Extending round the
hall near the windows are twenty-four
smaller columns wrought in wheat.
Four large panels represent four lead
ing industries of the state-stock rails
ing. dairyiRg. mining, pottery-so
faithfully done in cereals as to resem-
BILE great pictures
The mining panel portrays a sturdy
youth in a shirt of red corn, trousers of
millet heads and cap from seed of vari-
GUS kinds The flesh tints of face and
brown hands are stril1ingly brought
out by the natural color o. corn husks.
The dairy panel represents q girl of
comely face in light corn huslz, dress
of red cobs and tresses of brown corn
silk. The cow by her side is in millet
heads Three cows and calf, also in
millet, adorn the stock panel.
The panel depicting pottery sets forth
a young artisan, in a Roman cloak o*
tinted corn, in the act of fashioning an
urn made of fine seeds The shading
of the potter's cloak in corn is very
artistic, the coloring running from a
deep rich red to a light pink.
Other pieces represent music, art
astronomy and literature In the south
west corner of the hall is located
kind of aery, or balcony, for a band or
orchestra: and here are several really
wonderful designs wrought in corn
cobs and grapevines. One, for exam
pie, is designed as a Roman vase, COM
posed of cobs, holding vine which has
leaves and husks and supports flower
fashioned out of red ear of popcorn
The artists-for thus the decorators
must be designated-have displayed
not only patience and fidelity in thei
work, but the promptings of true
genius In performing their work
twelve hundred bushels of corn have
been used, and mere than seven thou
sand sheaves Of wheat, oats, miIlet and

ers, South Sea islanders, Javanese. Da-
homeyans, all of whom hold forth in
villages composed of houses fashioned
after the ones they live in when at
home in their own coun tries.
More picturesque and airy than the
rest are, possibly. the diminutive dwell
ings of the Javanese. Constructed
wholly OF bamboo and mating made of
bamboo splints, they are the perfection
OF hot weather quarters From casual
glance one would think they would
hardly withstand the faintest puff OF
wind, SO lightly are they constructed,

CHAPTER XVII.

''John! Why should 1 have been
singled out to perpetuate it? Why
should the hard task of doing Amelia
justice not have been left in other
hands? I feel as if 1 had erected fresh
and stronger barriers between the
houses of White Cliffs and Glenburnie.
But could not help it. 1t had to be

''No, you could not help it. 1t had to
be done.''
He echoed her words gravely. He
had just a little while before come from
the courthouse, where he had waited to
hear the verdict in the Norcross case
They had been sitting in somber silence
a long minute.
'sPoor Ida! poor Dennis! And to
think that but for me they might at
last have come together! No one ever
would have suspected
''Poor Ida! and poor Dennis! They
have waited SO long!'
John, there is reproach in your
voice!' She left her seat, and, coming
behind him, she put her arms around
his neck and laid her soft cheek upon
the crown of his head. There were
tears in her eyes, but if he felt them
dropping among his close-clipped locks
he made no sign, other than putting up
one hand to lay it caressingly on hers,
as they lay interIocked about his brown
throat. She was very dear to him
this recovered wife.
mot for you, wife, he said, sooth-
ingly. You could not help it. 1t had

''She would not let me rest. Wher-
ever I went, whatever I was doing. I
could see her pleading eyes, could hear
her reproaching me for not caring. Oh,
John, it was awful, awful! ALI my life
