CHAPTER VI.

MY FATHER PARTS FROM OLD FRIENDS
For such as me there is no sleep. If
only l could shut out consciousness Tor
a little while, the burden OF my curse
would be more tolerable; but never for
an instant am permitted TO forget who
aud what am. Can you conceive such
torture as this? And then, think, II IS
a torture which has neither hope nor
ending.
So that nigh after leaving Cushlabeg,
roamed through the darkness and
thought of the past, the present ana
the future, until was frantic with
despair. Without definite purpose l
assembled Slieucarne, long, low noun
tain, very steep towards the south, with
wooded glens at its base, and great
expanse of gorss and heather around its
summit; and there l was when the sun
rose over the sea in the morning.
WHY not remain there? Surely in that
thought was a promise OF rest! look
ed down upon the little Town OF Scad-
den, the grey houses clustering round
the bay, Cushlabeg standing apart
among the trees, and Cronkvash on the
hill still nearer the mountain side. In the
streets and roads men were already
going TO and fro, but they were so small
mere black specks in the distance
that | could not see their bent bodies
or troubled faces. From the lofty spot
where | stood, it would have been easy
to picture them as contented and happy.
Why should l ever go nearer? A help
less outcast, why should not hold
aloof from the misery, the sight OF
which made me miserable? II l kept
far off, surely my punishment would
cease, for were not my sutferlngs caused
solely by witnessing the suferings OF
others, the victims OF my SIM
For an hour or two the argument had
sufficient weight TO induce me to stay
where | was; but its faliscy soon be-
came apparent. Although cast loose
from the pody,I still hankered after the
old life and the things that pertAined to
it. 1t did not matter that 1 was
volceless. The dog cannot syeak
TO his master yet loves TO be
with him, and I yearned for the old
familiar people. My need for sympathy
was not less than il mad been: on the
contrary, IL was far greater, and l found
the solitude OF the mountain insuppor-
table.
But that was not all. 1 was also
overpowered by the desire to know
how things were going on. Although
no longer witnessed the sufferings Of
Rachel and George, OF their parents aud
mine. aud Of all the others, i feared what
they might be suffering, and these fears
were, if possible, even worse than the
reality. They tortured me beyond
endurance; l could not get moments
relief from them. There was no escape
l felt now, from the penalty except
complete Inconsistencies snnihila-
tion-and for that prayed necessarily.
But my prayer was in vain.
FRO BE CONTINUED.

at former meeting of the directors
of the Gerinania bank a COMMITTEES was
appointed to prepare All obituary notice
of the late Horace b. Strait, formerly
president of the bank. AT a meeting
held April 10, 1894, the following report
was made to the directors aud adopted:
The officers and directors of the Ger
mania bank. desiring to testify their
esteem for Hon. Horace B. Strait, and
their sorrow for his loss, record these
their sentiments:
We regard Mai. Strait as one of the
most admirable characters in the long
line of estimable and honorable men
who have figured in the historic roll of
Minnesota's citizens. AS business
man and fnancier his integrity aud
intelligence were unsurpassed. As a
soldier his patriotism and courage
were examples 10 his comrades Ill
arms. As a Legislator his industry
and fidelity to his constituents were
constant and unwasering. AS citizen
and neighbor his gentle, generous and
amiable bearing towards all was in har-
m0ny with his atfectionate and loving
domestic relations as husband and
father. No man ever endeared himself
to all the people of his acquaintance
more completely and permanently than
our deceased friend. His presidency of
this bank was distinguished by his most
careful guardianship of its interests.
resulting in period of its greatest sue
cess. While we lament his loss we will
ever cherish the most sincere affection
fer his memory. b. - - "a -. II
Resolved. That this memorial bejre-
corded in the minutes of this meeting.
and that copy be sent to his family. j

That Is What Is Wanted by a
Correspondent.
To the Editor of the Globe.
ST. PAUL. April 1S.--Ratrenchment
and reform are the watchwords. Cut
down salaried officers. Give us all
economical administration. Such are
the cries we hear OH all sides from the
advocates of all parties. The people
generally are accustomed to look up TO
the judges of our courts for shining eX-
amplss of good citizenship.
The state allows each district court
judge salary of $500 year. The
six district court judges of Ramsey
county each draw a salary of 5000 a
year; 81. $40 to each judge, making $1,000
year, is voted our Judges by our county
commissioners over and above The regu-
lar state allowance, and has been for
years. The extra allowance is paid i,y
ramsey county. If our judges are
grasping everything in sight, how can
you expect their clerk or other officers
of their court to voluntarily relinquish
any of their perquiSites?
Reform is good thing. Are we CON-
mencing at the right end? Is it good
policy to cut the laborprs' pay to Is
cents a day and vote each judge $1,000 a
year more than the state allows him? Is
not this worth thinking about?
DO you expect the stream to rise
higher than its source? DO you expect
the layihan 10 be more correct than the
priest? Do you expect All officer of the
court to be more virtuous than the court
itself? REFORM.

obstructing Registration

The Republican judges are partial.
and are refusing to register Democrats
whenever they can find any excuse for
such action. In some cases they insist
that haturaliZed citizens must produce
their papers. which is often Impossible.
Again, in the case of persons who came
to this country while minors, and their
parents became full citizens before the
majority of the children, the judges in
sist that such children are not entitled
to be registered without taking out
papers.
A special legal committee, of which
j. G. Michaels has accepted the chair
manship, has been appointed by the
Democrats. This committee will pro-
tect the rights OF Democratic voters, and
will closely scrutiniZe the registration,
and see that no fraudulent registration
is allowed
