was in fine trim for the wedding, the
bridal trousseau almost completed,
and even the ring bought, when an
awful thing took place.
Mr.. Michaud and Doctor Mansfield,
the father of his prospective son-in-
law, while playing game of domin-
Oes, fell into quarrel. At first,
really polite one, then an angry,
then furious one.
Doctor Mansfield called Mr.. Mich
aud cheat, and Mr.. Michaud called
the doctor liar.
Y The doctor gathered the dominoes
An his hands, and was about to hurl
them at the head of Mr.. Michaud- He
thought better of 1t, however, caught
np his hat, stuck it on his head side
ways, crammed his fists into his pock-
cts and, without an ''adieu," marched
out of the house, calling his son to
follow him.
:. The end of the affair was dissolu-
tion of the matrimonial engagement
Theodore and Rosine.
In vain Theodore demonstrated. In
vain Rosine wept. The old gentle
men were not to be moved by the
unhappiness of the young folks. All
the deeds that had been drawn up
were cancelled. The little house which
had been furnished for the bride and
groom was let to a family temporarily
sojourning in the place, and the lovers
were forbidden to speak another word
to each other as long as they lived.
At last, having bribed Rosine's
maid to keep his secret, he confided to
the hands of the girl letter to her
mistress, in which he begged her to
steal from the house that night and
wait under the pear trees beside the
garden wall, until he should come to
her.
Rosine, who had never disobeyed
her parent in her life, felt as guilty
as though she were about to commit
murder, when she stole out of the
side door to keep the rendezvous; but,
nevertheless, her heart beat high with
hope at the thought of meeting Theo-
dore once more, and when at last she
saw through the darkness form
gradually rise above the wall, and
proceed to ascend by means of rope
which was fastened on the other side,
she with difficulty refrained from
screaming aloud.
Theodore" she whispered; ''oh,
Thcodore my Theodore! That it
should be wrong for me to meet thee!
that we, who were once betrothed
lovers, should come to this.'
But the next moment he had caught
her hands and kissed them, and she
forgot all but that they were together.
This was the first meeting, but it
was not the last. Night after night,
when the old gentleman was asleep,
snoring peacefully, Theodore and
Rosinc sat side by side, more familiar
iy than they ever had done before, in
the garden under the pear trees,
while Nannette, the maid, kept watch
outside the little side door.
All this had been going on for some
time, when one night Rosine took her
usual place to wait for Theodore. She
heard the stealthy steps as usual.
She saw the 1.-THE form mount the
wall and stand in full relief against
the golden moon, just at that moment
rising. Then q faint cry of horror
fell upon her ear and he vanished

from her sight. There was start
ling and ominous thud upon the earth
without, groan and silence.
Theodore had slipped and fallen to
the ground. For some moments he
remained insensiblc: Rosinc, nearly
mad with terror, stood wringing her
hands within the garden.
Her maid. who had seen all, hur-
ried down the path. Neither of the
girls knew what was best to do. At
last, Nannctte, stout young girl,
clambered up into the largest pear
tree, and managed to get her chin on
a level with the wall. She could not
see anything below, but she heard a
movement
"Mr. Mansfield" she whispered,
''speak IL you possibly can. My mis-
tress is nearly frightened to death"
A faint voice replied:
GIVE my love to your mistress, !
am not much hurt, but 1t will be best
sorme TO go home now. I think there
has been noise enough to attract at
tention.l
Then the two girls ran indoors,

READILY EXPLAINED.
Secretary Of State Bennett Relates His
Experience With Adams.

MONTREAL, Can, Dec. 6.-Charles p.
Bennett, the young Secretary of the
State of Rhode Island, and Il. Nadeau
OF Providence, president of the
Washington Building Trust Com
pany OF Rhode Island, are stopping at
the Windsor Hotel here. Both gentle
men are well acquainted with President
Adams and Manager Brady, of Debenture
bond notoriety.
Adams, il is said, went TO Providence
for the purpose OF floating Rhode
Island debenture company, to be called
the Equitable Trust Company, and tried
TO obtain charter. He was introduced
into the best OF society and made many
friends, who were not at all disinclined to
go into his schemes. The figures he SUBJ
mitted and the documents by which he
tried to establish his financial solidity
seemed all right in every particular, and
IT., for some reason or other, he
had not abandoned his plan, he would, no
doubt, Ii Is said, have succeeded in roping
i'm many. 1t seems that he relied prin-
cipally on his ability to get Mr.. Bennett
as a stakeholder and officer OF the COM
pany. Friends who knew a little more
about the character of Adams and his en-
terprises warned Mr.. Bennett in time, and
he did not commit himself.
In the mean time the charter for the
Equitable Trust Company was granted,
but the necessary obligations provided
for by the state law were never fulfilled,
and the charter was not made use Of.
" Personally" said Mr.. Bennett, 81
thought Adams very nice fellow, aud a
very clever one"
About Brady Mr.. Bennett knew very
little. Some OF his friends, however,
were well acquainted with him. lie
was at different times interested, they
said, in the Mississippi Valley and the
North q South loan and building associa-
tions, both of Chicago. Both of these are
now in liquidation.
Brady. they said, was put into one OF
these when he was hard up by friend
OF former years, who wanted TO DO him
good turn, and within month he had
managed 90 work his friend out. They
belonged 20 a dangerous clique OF loan
and building manipulators, most Of
whom hailed from Minnesota and prac-
tised In and around Chicago and Illinois.
rhe last complny in which Brady was
interested was the GuaraDtes Savings,
Loan q Investment Company Of Wash
ington. y

LABOR'S HAVEN.
Swiss People Advised to Re-
main in This Country.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-"It ] could only
get back homo / should be all right.
could earn something at least, but here /
shall starve." This Is the exclamation OF
very many Swiss, who have returned to
Switzerland in search of employment.
This is part of an ominous warning
that United States Consul Clifford
at Basle sends to persons who have emf
grated TO the United States in former
years and are now returning TO Europe in
search OF employment. "Home" in the
cases above quoted means the United
States, for many OF these people
are naturalized American citizens and
bring with them children born
in the United States. They spend
all their savings on the return trip and
failing TO find employment are reduced to
misery and apply to our consuls who have
no means TO relieve them or 10 pay their
way back TO the United States. Consul
Clifford says that there is hardly enough
employment for persons already settled in
Switzerland. The trades and manufactures
are not specially prosperous and the
building trades and day labor are amply
supplied by the Italians, Business is
duller and wages lower than in America,
and the consul advises those who contem-
plate returning to Europe to refrain and
await complete revival Of business in
the United States.

THAT BENNETT
Possibly Boston Folks May
Find Him Nearer Home.
Rhode Island Secretary of State In
terviewed In Montreal.
Talks About His Experience With
President Adams of Debenture Fraud.

The attempt of the Boston newspaper
detectives TO connect the Secretary of State
OF Rhode Island i'm anything but fiatter-
ing way with the fraudulent Dsbenture I'm
vestment Company has received but little
support from men hereabouts who know
Mr.. Bennett. The Boston newspapers
jumped to conclusion in decidedly half
cock sort OF a way, and all but charged
Secretary of state Charles p. Bennett with
criminal collusion in the matter OF the
collapsed Debenture Company.
Neither is anybody disposed to regard
Mr.. Bennett as fool who would be un-
Willingly pulled into such scheme. As
has already been pointed out the charter
OF the Equitable Trust Company, the
granting OF which offered the ''clue"
OF the Boston newspaper detectives
in the direction of Secretary Bennett, was
granted by the General Assembly and
charter of this kind does not come under
the supervision of the Secretary of States
office at all. 1t appears from an interview
with Mr.. Bennett, published here
with, that Mr.. Bennett became acquainted
with the parties interested in the charter
as was quite natural he should do. Col
charter was granted but he knew nothing
about the matter either except from the
fact OF keeping the records and handling
the papers in the ordinary course of busi-
ness.
1t was suggested this morning that
Boston folks might look nearer lone for
"Bennett." The sentence in the Brady
letter referring TO the matter reads:
" l think we could get another charter
this winter provided we sold this on 5000
profit. Might be good thing in the way
of charters when we still have the same
old pull, Bennett
Nothing is to be inferred from the letter
except that the swindlers have been using
the name of somebody, either with or
without warrant. But nearer home than
Rhode Island is a "Bennett"who would be
supposed to have a pull in the lobby of
the ssachusetts Council and that is
Editor Bennett OF the United States In
vestor.
Editor Bennett has been a member of
the Massachusetts General Council and
is known as man OF considerable
nfuence-otherwis what Brady calls a
"puli." 1t is said that his paper carried
the advertising of the Debenture concer
and that pufis were liberal-all which
might have been the case in the regular
order of business OF Editor Benefits
paper.
But,while the Boston aper men are
looking for the "Benn ,," that the de-
benture people "playea for sucker, "why
don't they interview Editor Bennett, ex-
member of the Legislature, right at home?

ANARCHISTS.
They Will Be Prevented From
Landing Here.
inspectors Will Be Appointed to In
speCt all Emigrants.

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE effort to
prevent anarchists from coming to the
United States viii be resumed in House of
Representatives next week If Mr.. Boatner,
of Louisiana, in charge of the measure,
secures from Speaker Crisp the time he
expects. This measure provoked an ex-
citing contest at the close OF the last
session, but its final passage was cut off by
adjournment. At that time the Govern
ment had received official notification from
France that a large number OF anarchists,
driven out OF Europe, were en- route to
this country. Secretaries Gresham and
Carlisle were specially anxious TO secure
legislation in order to cut off
the influx of dangerous characters. Sem
ator Hill pushed the anti-anarchst bill
through the Senate, but 1t met opposition
from Messrs. Warner of New York,
Goldsier OF Illinois and others In the
House, and mad TO be abandoned for the
time being. Mr.. Boatner will now take
up the contest where it was left off and is
hopeful OF securing the passage of the ex-
clusion bill before the holidays.
AS it has already passed the Senate ia
vorable action by the House will conclude
the legislation. representative Warner
of New York, referring to the measure,
says the necessity for it has evidently
gone by. There was no suggestion in
Secretary Carlisle's report" said Mr..
Warner, Gas TO the need of such bill.
There was much ado at the last
session over anarchists about to land,
and it was declared the country was in
peril. But what has become of these an
archisrs? They must have been drowned
en- route. No one has heard OF them. 1t
is a singular fact that the men who urge
this measure live in the interior, far from
ports where anarchists might be feared.
The New York newspapers located at the
place where anarchists would be most
likely to arrive do not believe in the bill"
Mr.. Warmers objection to the bill last
session was that it did not define anar-
chists, but gave Government officials a
dangerous authority To call any one an
anarchist and then deport him. The
anti-anarchist bill as now before the House
provides that no alien anarchist shall here
after be permitted TO land at any port
of the United States or be admitted into
the United States but this shall not be so
construed so as TO apply to political
refugees or political offenders. AT the
hearing Of aliens charged with being an
archists the board OF special inquiry shall
inquire of the accused as TO his antece-
dents, political opinions, whether he
belongs to any society or association OF
known anarchistic tendencies, and he may
examine the persons for marks indicative
of such membership, he may accept evil
-dence OF the immigrants in COM
mon reputation as anarchists. On
the fact being determined that an
immigrant is an anarchist, the Secretary
oftheTreasury is empowered to deport him
back to the country whence he came.
1t is also provided that the Secretary is to
appoint inspectors, to bo stationed
abroad, 20 apprehend anarchists embark
ing for this country.
