are for the first time getting a rest
and enjoying the reunion like other
people.
Hon. George Douglass, speaker of
the Kansas house of representatives,
arrived on the early morning train
yesterday. About 8 o'clock he rode
out to Camp Logan with Col. Warner
and others. In few minutes 1t be-
came known that he was on the
grounds and the boys gathered around
him to the number of perhaps thou
sand. Shaking hands with all was i'm
possible, as but few could get near
him much less see him, as he was
standing on the ground. Finally those
near gathered him on their shoulders
so all could see the man who, as the
constitutional speaker of the Kansas
house of representatives, with sledge
hammer battered in the doors that
had been locked against the peoples
representatives by a gang of thugs
and anarchists. Mr.. Douglass is quite
young man, too young to have been
union soldier, but his heart and his
voice is with and for the veterans, not
only for the great work performed by
them, but in the struggle which they
are now going through on the pension
question.

"Que je vons disc, ma pauvre petite
mam,selle-a phrase which / remember
also because Of its frequent after recur
rence-and ending with 4 hearty laugh
when she found that / failed altogether
to make anything out OF it. This laugh,
however, she checked suddenly with
the recollection of my pitiable condi-
ton, and giving m a pat on the cheek
she wound up with a tender ''pauvre
cherie, va" and left me to myself.
1t was q pleasant room, with two
windows looking out on the river,
plainly furnished, but with a delightful
fresh and welcome look about it, due
perhaps to the whiteness Of the linen,
the muslin curtains and the extreme
neatness and cleanliness OF everything.
Taras had given 1t up to me, removing
the things he needed to the garrett
overhead while 1 was out spending his
money. The only thing he had over
looked was a revolver hanging on the
wall over the head Of the bed stead.
With eager delight / unpacked the
things and spread them out to advan-
tage. Then, ippelled by an intense
feeling of gratitude, 1 rushed down
stairs to fetch Taras that he might
share my JOY in looking at them. He
was not in.

CHAPTER VIII.


The cab stopped on the Albert em-
bankment nearly opposite Lambeth
bridge. Taras stepped out and gave me
his hand as II / were s lady. The dlngy
old house before us had been a shop.
Taras took it for the view 1t command
cd Of the river and turned II Into a
dwelling house. What had been the
shop front was draped with French
muslin curtains within, drawn back BE-
hind a shelf, on which stood some pots
Of bright flowers.
While Taras was paying the caOman
one OF the curtains was pulled aside, a
face appeared for a moment, and the
next minute the door opened, and Mere
Lucas stood there looking, 70 my eyes
as strange as the window from which
she had Just peeped out. She was so
stout that she quite filled up the door
way, and her proportions were the more
noticeable for a dig apron or d2Zzlng
whiteness worn over her blue cotton
dress. On her head was an equally
dazzling kind Of a cap / had never seen
before, deliberately gOfered, with the
strings carefully tied ia a line broad
bow under her double chin. There
was a pretty wave OF SjlverY hair grow
log low on her forehead, and then came
her great broad face, with its express
sion OF healthy cheeriulness, not less
remarkable TO the eyes Of an east
ender than the spick and span neatness
and cleanliness OF her dress.

THE FIRST STEP.

awe must think about clothes next,
Aura" said Taras when l had agreed
to accept the strange name he proposed.
"You will want quite ailot OF things
some to wear indoors, some to go out In
others to change and so on"
why, l amt got no money" said l.,
taken aback by the very first condition
of living in a new and civilized world:
Luckily 1 have-somewhere," SAID
he, feeling in his pockets. "Ah, here
il is" -,
"a lot o. things'H cost a lot O. money"
1 remarked, as he looked at his purse.
That's true, If there's not enough
here to pay for all you buy, give one OF
these cards and have the things sent
home, to be paid for on delivery"
looked in the purse and saw gold,
more than l had ever before seen at one
time. My utmost possession had never
amounted to more than a shilling, ana
no one had thought fit to trust me with
a larger sum. l laid the purse down
with d vague feeling that l might be
taking undo advantage of Taras' gener-
esity. When he spoke, 1 stopped lin
"Hold on" said l, PPM trying to
think this out. 1 amt sure whether l
oughter take all this money or didn't
oughter."
"Good. Puzzle it out and take or re-
fuse it as it seems TO you right or
wrong"

Asheville, y. c.:
DEAR SIR promised you when
leaving the shores Of America aud the
richly caparisoned forests OF Buncomoe
county, as the gay pillows of color
rolled up the smoky canyons of the Blue
Ridge, that / would write you from
London and tell you how times are here,
especially in the barb line.
As you know, Plum, my principal
business here is to consult her imperial
majesty the queen regarding the best
style Of furnishing my house at Buck
Shoals. II was completed over a year
ago. Seven or eight times l have had
it completed again. Ny contractor be-
gan on the house, forgetting that he
had a contract covering the same time
for an alcoholic carnival. He told me
that he could turn my house over to a
snbcontractor, but the alcoholic turn
verein was something that he would
have TO look after personally. SO he
turned the house over 10 a suocontrac-
tor. Anyway he turned II over TO some
one, FOR IL was wrong side up when l
moved into It.

I stuck my knuckles in my hips, drew
a long breath and taxed my sluggish
power OF reasoning to its utmost, while
Taras smoked on in grave silence, too
~considerate to suffer any sign to appear
ia his face of the amusement my per-
plexity must have given him.
"Taras," said I at length, 'Im a-goin
to take that money, cause if you was in
want and 1 had money l should like
you to take it of me-"
bravo, little friend!" said be joy
fully. "You have grasped the meaning
OF the golden rule already. Now you
had better 90 out and buy what you
want. Do you know the neighborhood?'
mo, but If you tell me where the
shops is I'll find 'em. l amt afraid OF
asting my ways"
"Either OF the streets that pass the
church will lead you into the WeStmin-
ster Bridge road, where there are plenty
Of shops"
1 nodded, but made no movement,
for the question what sort OF things
would be suitable to my new state
threw ne into another spell OF cogita-
ton.
''Would you like Mere Lucas to go
with you?" Taras asked.
"If you think she knows better AN
me what 1 oughter wear"
~ would rather you exercised your
own judgement. l want you to walk
alone as soon as possible"
I understood what he meant by that
phrase. 1t was really as if l were born
again and learning to walk.
s'You aIu't got any fancy, like? 1t
don't matter to you what l wear, do
it?"
"Oh, yes, it does" he replied, with a
laugh. Il should be sorry to see you
in rags or ugly clothes"
well, look here" said l, after
scratching my head in troubled medita-
ton for q minute or two, "Ill do the
best 1 ken"
With that I left him, but before 1
reached the Westminster Bridge road l
had to I two or three times to "do a
think over the problem before me, and
the question was not satisfactorily SOL
we'd when Hound myself in the street Of
shops. A millinar's gay display attract
ed me first, and bearing In mind that
Tarss objected TO anything ugly l liked
nv attention on a hat with a high crown
aud turned up rim of crushed straw
berry plush, with two ostrich feathers,
one emerald and the other magenta,
drooping gracefully down the back.
This seemed to my eyes the most love-
ly thing imaginable, and l think l
should have gone in and bought it had
it not suddenly occurred to me that had
seen something in this style on high
DAYS and holidays 10 Shadwell, and
that I was to sunder myself entirely
from ali modes of the past. Then a
little farther on a shop of silk handker-
chief for the neck, spotted and flower
ed, in bright yellow and other vivid
hues. appealed once more to my sense
of the beautiful, But here again was
confronted by a memory of ladies Of
Jamaica road going of on Whit Mon

consideration drew me awav from

ment or two-"a friend like Of yours.
tn bs dreadful long fore l learn
enough for that" :,
THAT is the easist lesson OF all" said
he. There's only one rule to remem-
Der II you would be good, and hakrule
governs rich and poor, witty and sim
pie, all human beings from one end OF
the easth te the other. II Is simply TO
be honest and to treat me and others as
you would have me and others TO treat
you.
Could that be alp I asked myself.
Could that rule alone make him so good
to me? 1t took me along while to real
ize that the practice of this simple doc
trine made him so admirable.
And now, little friend" said he, tax
ing up his pipe and lighting 1t again.
''as the general idea seems pretty clear
let us come to practical particulars.
What shall we do this afternoon for a
b~sginning?"
"Whatever you tell me to do I'll try
and do it, master" i.
''CaIl me Taras. That is my name"
heard his name then for the first
time, and it seemed as strange and IN
common as any part Of this new lie.
"Taras," 1 repeated. "What Is my
name TO be?"
why to be sure, you must have q
new name. And then after searching
for a minute or two in silent Thought
he said: 81 think we will call you Aura.
1t is pleasant to the ear, and it has a
pretty significance"
know now that Aura is a diminutive
form of q word that means the nymph
or second state OF the chrysalis before
it takes wings. .

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1893-07-20
STARK COUNTY MYTH,

Gov. Mckinley relates good story
of two brothers, Stark county Germans,
who strongly advocaued the election of
Grover Cleveland last fall. They made
speeches in small way, one of them
going 80 far as to declare that If the
Democrats carried the day wheat
would sell this year for $3.50. There
has been good deal of dissatisfaction
expressed with the present situation,
until finally one of the brothers felt
called upon the other day to ex-
plain. He said: "Me and my brother
told you last fall that if you would
elect Grover Cleveland wheat would be
$l.50. So it is but 1t takes three bush
els."
The above story is told by the Cleve-
land World, that rabid Republican Or
gan that criticised Governor Mckinley
the other day for hobnobbing with
Cleveland coal oil aristocracy and re-
fusing to treat the boys in hotel lob
bies.
Now, unless the World comes for
ward promptly with the names of those
"two brothers" who hail from the ranks
of the Stark county Germans, the
NEws-DEMooRAT will feel called upon
to allege that the World has inaugu-
rated deep laid conspiracy against
Governor McKinley's character for
trnth and veracity, as well as against
his right to choose his associates and
friends.
