sincerity of a woOer who had been
known but one summer, and the dis

Charles Williams was puzzled and
angry, decidedly SO. TO the best of
his knowledge he had written thirty
five letters to Miss Millicent Darrell.

too. What a fool was to believe her.
She's nothing but a COMPOUNDED hirt.
I'll think no more about her
Contrary to his declara ton of forget
fulness, he thought more about her
than ever, and the consequence was
that he went down to Chelsea station
the next day to investigate the case.
The explanations which directly fol-
lowed his arrival convinced each young
person of the faithfulness of the other,
and Miss Darrell acknowledged her in
ability to interpret ones nature from
the physiognomy.
But there was one question confront
ing them. and that was: ''Where were
those lettcrs?" Thirty-five epistles.
all heavy-laden with deepest feeling,
could hardly have gone astray. The
only possible solution was that some
one must have taken them. but who
could it have been? Miss Darrell left
the lovers discussing the point, and,
down to the post office. The deacon
was alone.
''Silas Gardiner she said cody, II

what do know of Miss Milly's let

lessness.

she said looking at him unfiinchinsly.

resort to such trickery to prevent

for.''
He went to his desk. and taking out
the bundle of letters. gave them to
her, saying:

He said no mere. It was not neces-

eloquent plea. A woman will forgive
many grave offense If you will but

The culprit was pardoned, and it is
with authority that we state that he
never was guilty of a similar trans
gression.
Just after Christmas that year Miss
! Darrell received the following telc-
gram:

no announcement to the admirer, who
was too faint-hearted to give express

who hopelessly waited for some one

valued. hut for reasons best known
to herself alone Miss Darrell preferred
a life of single blessedness to one of
double wretchedness, and passed con-
tentedly and comforta bly, into a state
of oldmaidenhood, and the postmaster
settled down into a chronic, lovelorn
melancholy, from which comatose con-
dition he was partially aroused now
and then by the thought that she
might yet change her mind and honor
some unfortunate being with her heart
and hand.
So that was the situation when Miss
Darrell went down to the seashose one
summer to visit her brother. Silss
Gardeners heart was filed with mis-
givings during her absence, lest what
he had long feared should come to
pass. 1t was about a week after her

What the Republicans and Assistsnt Ro-

IF the senate bill be not passed. the
Mckinley law will remain on the stat

family, speaking not for himself alone,
but for many Of his colleagues.
And what are the special provisions
of the senate bill whose acceptance
the senate demands under threat of
McKinleyism as the only alternative?
All the differences between the
house and senate were found easy of

all tariff legislation unless it can get a

which will benefit the sugar trust, and
tax on coal and iron. which certain
senators demand as the price of their
votes for the bill.
The president Of the sugar trust Is
quoted freely and without contradic-
ton as having declared, as long ago as
1888, that sugar can be refined in the
United States at a cheaper labor cost
than in England, France or Germany.
The common republican defense of a
protective duty, adopted by the Cor
man party in tho senate. is that it must
be enough to make up the difference
between cheaper foreign labor and
American labor. There is no such diff
ference in this case. The foreigner has
already the best of it. The proposed
tax is not for the purpose of holding
up American wages. but of swelling
tho profits of the greatest trust that
fourishes under our laws-a trust that

closed the fact that the existing duty
on coal was totally ignored in fixing
wages of miners, whose wages had
been needlessly cut to less than the
tax imposed professedly for their bene-
fit.
It has been our boast that We can
produce iron cheaper than any country
in the world. We do not yet know
how far we can go in reducing the cost
of it. A Birmingham firm has recently
turned out iron at six dollars and fifty

INDIAN RELICS AFTER FLOOD

A few days ago when the water in
the Allegheny river ~as slowly subsid
ing q man was noticed walking along
the shore intently scanning the banks.
IL am hunting for Indian relics he
said. You see. in the early days this
was a great reds>in country. Thou
sands of Indians followed the rivers
in their canoes and lived along the
banks. Every time the water is high
I am sure to find some trophy that q
savage. no doubt, priced highly. Tho
flood either carries them down and de-
posits them along the shore or they
are washed out of tho hunks.
ssMahy a time after a rise I have dis
covered h stone ton1allawl< or a battle
AK sticking out of the mud that had
been lost years ago, and the water had
revealed it. 1 have at my home a lot
of Indian relics, including ar~owheads.
tomahavl<s, battle-aXes, pie. IS of baked
pottery, and other interesting articles.
Most of them 1 have found along the
rivers Immediately after high water.
1 remember during the food of 1889
unearthed d. double-bitted battle-aN.
It was the first of the kind I had ever
seen. Before the advent of the white
man the Indians knew nothing OF
metals. Their weapons were made
chiefly of stone.
