At last Daisy was brought over to
my way of thinking, and Miss Wardour
was received and made welcome. She
was tall, handsome brunette, as un-
like my blue-eyed, sunny-haired Daisy
as possible. As my gaze fell upon the
graceful figure in deep mourning, l
was pleased TO discover that my heart
did not thrill, and felt none of the
pleasant sensations experienced when
one cares for another. Thank heaven,
my love was entirely dead, every trace
and vestige of it.
My eyes wandered toward Daisy.
She was welcoming her self-invited
guest with easy grace. and 1 said Ia

herl"
"Ah, Charliew cried our guest, put

It was, to say the least, in decidedly
bad taste-this reference to the dead
and gone days; but l merely smiled
and uttered some commonplace moth
ing.
Then Miss Wardour proceeded q

pretty domicile. No more tete-a-tete'
for Daisy and me. Wherever we went
of course our guest accompanied us
though, on account of her recent be
reavement, She was debarred from
real society.
The days went by and still she
fingered. Her small business affair
were now quite settled, and there wa
no excuse for her remaining; but She
said TO me, with a dazzling smile, tina
she was SO in love with our pretty

''Is that it, Daisy? Well, yes; it is
true; but Florence-Miss Wardour, I
mean-saw fit TO break it off, 1 am
sure l am under obligations to her,
for, had she not done so, 1 should
never have had you, dear"
Daisy looked uncomfortable.
"But, Charlie, isn't it little I'M
usual, to say the least, for a lady to
visit at gentleman's house, when
she was once his intended wife? And
20 come without an invitation from
me, seems odd at least"
Now Charlie Dane-six months a
benedict, popular lawyer, and with
pretty home and lovely wife, knew
that Daisy was perfectly correct. But
some perverse spirit took possession
of me. Surely l was master of my
own house. And Miss Wardour's visit
was merely business affair. was

estate of her late father, and il l

proceeded to explain the situation
to my wife. Miss Wardour had made
her home in the South with her moth
ers sister. had met her there, while
on Southern trip, became infatuated
with her grace and beauty, proposed,
and was accepted. The course of our
true love ran very smoothly for a
time; then there was the advent of a
rich and elderly suitor-Mr. Ches-
wiclsc-who began at once TO lay siege
to the affections of my betrothed
wife. TO my surprise she did not re-
pulse him and would not permit our
engagement TO be made public. There
was nothing to do but submit.
The result was that one day
Florence returned my ring and an
nounced to me that she had changed
her mind, and was going to marry Mr.
Cheswicke. OF course | released her.
That was three years ago, and l had
since met my Daisy, and we had been
married half year. Our home was
in Philadelphia, and we were living
happily, when old Mr.. Wardour died
at his home in the suburbs, and
Florence was summoned to his death
bed. She had no one else in the world;
her mother had died when she was a
child. l learned that she had not
married Mr.. Cheswicke and there
seemed little probability of it. But
she had written and asked me TO re-
ceivc her for few days How could
refuse?

and, according to his own story, De Vor-

coat and put up his fists to strike him.
When James Crotty's saloon was reached
Carroll says he turned to go in, when De
Vorney again caught his coat. Then he
struck him on the left jaw, and De Vor-
ney fell and lay still.

Report OF the Agricultural Bureau For
the Week Ending May FL.

Report OF the Agricultural Bureau For
the Week Ending May FL.
Boston, May 22.--The following weather
crop bulletin for New England is issued
by the United States weather bureau:
The correspondents from Maine report
favorable weather for team work, and
much has been done, but the wind has
hindered seed sowing, and the pastures
and newly seeded pieces have felt it's dry
ing influence very much. Potatoes and
other vegetables were slightly nipped by
frost, hut no damage has been reported to
fruit One advantage from the dry
weather is in enabling work to be done
on naturally wet land that could not bs
touched in average seasons. Fruit is in
blossom, .ept in the extreme north,
and is very promising.
In all the central and southern parts of
New Hampshire much damage is re-
ported from the frosts on lowlands. Be
side injuring very much all early plants
that were above ground, clover was dam
aged, and in places fruit blossoms and
leaves frozen. 1t is thought by some that
apples and blueberries are damaged quite
a good deal, though others think there
will be plenty on the trees that will
udbure. IdSburtS are very DdCh-
ward and poor. The correspondent at
Grafton reports that unless the weather
is very favorable in June the hay crop
will be light Much planting remains to
be done in this state, though the work
has been pushed rapidly.
All growth was very slow in Vermont
until the last of the week. The CORE
spondent at Burlington reports that some
damage was done by frosts to straw
berries and early vegetables in South
Burlington, some fields being entirely
wiped out" At South Randolph the
frost killed the grape vines and leaves.
In Massachusetts,, correspondents re-
port that just before this rain some grass
fields did not look so we'll as a week ago;
the stalks were spindling up very thin
and had begun to head out. Where this
is the case, it is thought that the rain
will help but little, though generally it
will thicken up and be much improved.
In Rhode Island little damage to fruits
is feared by the frost, but early vege-
tables suffered slightly. The corre-
spondent at K ngston reports that ice
formed to the thickness of a window
pane. Planting has not been yet COM
pleted, though very much has been put
in. The fruit prospects continue good.
There was some damage to strawberries
and vegeta bles on lowlands in Connecti-
cut, but as far as reported fruit was not
injured. The wind aud rain have lodged
the rye badly in central districts, and it is
feared that the high cold wind along the
coast will blast much fruit.

PARIS, May 23.-The government was

deputies during the debate on the ques-
tion as to whether the minister of public
works had the authority to allow the en-
ployes of the state railroads to attend the
congress of railroad men. The premier,
NJ. Casimir-Perier, demanded the adop-
tion of the order of the day pure and
simple. The premier's mo tion was re-
jected by vote of 275 to 225.
NJ. Casimir-Perier thereupon left the
Palais Bourbon, and the ministers subse-
quently proceeded to the Elysee palace
and handed their designations to Presi-
dent Carnot.
On leaving the chamber of deputies, the
ministers passed before the benches of the
Extreme Lett and were greeted with loud
cries of "Vive la Republique Sociale,"
"Vive la Commune"
