Notwithstanding the respondent
resignation in the words, there was a
suggestion of hope-a faint intangible
hope that was very like despair-in her

raised to his face.
She must have found very little en-

lapsed into frozen calm which in con-
trast with her usual sparkling rivacity
seemed like strange, apathetic indif-
ference; and clasping her hands list

"And now, my dear fellow, if you can

the same to my remembrance at once,
or else forever after hold your peace!"
AS he spoke thus with provoking
little twinkle in his eyes, North threw
himself into an easy chair close beside
Wee and leaned over confidentially to-
ward that gentleman.
Mr. Wesco.t, who still had his news
paper spread out before him, rustled it
slightly rs he gave his shoulders pet
ulant shrug. and without glancing up
he growled:
what should I know about your
private affairs?. I've never mcddled
with them, so far as am aware. Have

North with ready volubility; when Wee
dryly cut him short with:
Very we'll, then; that settles it"
"Ah. but my dear Wee, that does not
settle it.'' exclaimed North fervently.
'sWhy do You fling cold water il this
heartless way over my first real at
tempt at reformation? A sense of
what owe you in the way of repara-
ton urges me on to this decisive step.

which he had no ready response to de
fend himself, he took refuge IN grim
silence and kept his whole atsentaoos

Printing on Leather.

Some beautiful artistic effects have
been secured lately by printing on
leather. These are the results of a
carefully-perfected method of treating
the leather after tanning. The skins
are kept free from grease. and. if they
have 0en prepared with tannin, must
first be stepped in a preparation of SUI
mac. The application of the color can
be done in several ways, according to
the effect it is desired to produce. 1t
can be done by dyeing the skin and
afterward treating it with acids in Ger
tain parts, so that the natural color of
the leather appears, or printing with a
preparation composed of virgin wax,
four parts; castor oil, four parts; borax
and copal resin, each one part. mixed
together and warmed. The castor oil
may he replaced by any vegetable or
mineral oil.-Detroit Free Press

North lifted his eye brows with an air
of surprise, as if he were utterly unable
to understand such absolute stoicism.
Leaning back In his chair he 'sgorgon-
lied" the unhappy Wee for several
moments with a ''stony British stare"
apparently lost in contemplation Of
that gentleman's hardened and de-
PRAYED nature.
Mr.. Wescott. while betraying by his
expression of heroic suffering that he
was conscious Of this provoking
scrutiny, succeeded for short time in
keeping his eyes fixed upon the news
paper, which he rustled pervously now
and then in his painful effort to appear
unconscious; but there is limit to hu-
man endurance, and he finally reached
that point.
Rising, without any visible change in
his grave countene2ce, Mr.. Wescott
drew out his watch zod calmly noted

who goes to meet a very pressing en-

AS FROM TIE GRAVE.

Gov. McKinley Comes to Fife 1t the Co
lumbus Conveaflon.
Nothing is palmer than the fact that
Maj Mckinley made bis speech before
the Ohio republican, convention rs .
candidate TOR the presidential nomina
ton in 1896. It was clearly the drag
net of . politician who has set his am
| bition upon the leadership Of his party
in the next presidential campaign. and,
from the scum ON the top to the nnirs
at the bottom, it seined the waters oi
the political pond.
| The governor, not In the least abashed
| by the knowledge that he was the spon.
sor for the policy which resulted in thu
/ crushing defeat of his party last No.
| vember, is the first to step forward ia
| ask that its standard be placed in his
hands in the next contest; and in doing
| this he leaves none of the resorts of the
demagogue unused
Painting an exaggerated picture Of
the condition of the country, which, by
the way, is the legacy of the republic.
an party, he denounces the democrat,
party because it has not already brought
| relief.
Proclaiming that if the democratic
president will announce his purpose to
| adhere to the republican financial pol
icy confidence will be restored and
that president for not entering at once
upon a different policy.
Abusing President Cleveland because
he has not declared his intention to call
an extra session of congress, he ignores
the publicly-declared intention of Presi.
| dent Cleveland to call an extra session
of congress.
1ndicting the democratic party be-
| cause it has not made good the prom
ises of its platform, he condemns the
democratic party because it proposes tc
make good those promises.
Repudiated overwhelmingly by the
people of the country as tariff maker.
he breaches to them that he is the only
living tariff god. and that all who dc
not believe in him shall be damned.
Excoriating the democrats because
they intend to carry out the principles
of their platform, he pats the demo.
Gratis on the back and invites them to
vote for him, because he says they have
repented since the election and do not
their platform.
Responsible more than any other one
man for the present unsettled condition
of industry and commerce, he POSES as
the one man who should dictate our
economic policy.
Saying all he can to create lack Of
confidence in the patriotism, honesty
and intelligence of the administration
which must direct the government, he
pirates platitudes about the duty of all
good citizens to help inspire faith and
dispel apprehension.
Committing himself to wholesale
pension jobbery, he ISLANDERS without
hesitation Washington, Jefferson and
Garfield.
Gov. Mckinley, estimab1e as he may
be as man, must now be looked upon
for the next three years as politician
of the carnivorous, gramnivorous, om-
nivorous stripe. What a commotion
among the woodcocks would be caused,

clan. if the last woodcock had not long

arose bitter discussion, in which Maj.
