De Varens was quick to perceive the change.
"You need not fear" he said in low
voice, sit is quite-what you call it-secure
for your young cousin. La Calvadoro has
the whole world of Paris at her feet, but she
is cold and smiles on all alike. She is artlste-
nothing more. On the stage she is all life,
passion, frenzy, one would say her blood was
fire; but in private''-with characteristic
shrug-'it is another affair"
II do not like dancers, and I hate Span
iards," remarked Sir Rupert, and then re-
lapsed into gloomy silence. The Parisian
gave him stare of mingled astonishment
and disgust. There was certainly no account
ing for the vagaries of these strange island
ers.
Presently the carriage turned up one of the
avenues that diverge from the Champs
Elysees and stopped at Nine. Calvadoro's
house. Fate had evidently determined that
Glendale should make the acquaintance of
the dancer.
Glendale looked bigger and sitter than
ever as he followed Middleton and his French
friend into the salon. He made the rest Of
the men who were there appear puny, insig-
niflcant, by sheer force Of contrast.
The dancer was half reclining in low
lounging chair, smoking a cigarette and
laughing at some scandalous story that one
of her admirers was retailing for her benefit
She was a striking. richly tinted brunette,
with glorious, dark eyes and wearied ex-
preston underlying the paint.
Monster de varens approached the charmed
circle.
Permit me, Madame, to present my friends,

face Of the English lad and smiled.

Wooler, she is more human, more get-at-able
than Glendale. A stunning woman, too. If it
wasn't for young girl, Ella Darby, who is
under her ladyships wing at present, she and
would certainly have some fun together. In
Decd as it is. I've taken her to one or two of
the cafes chantants, and had just a peep at
the Jardin de Paris. but that was when Glen
dale was escorting Ella de Fontainbleau to
show her the most interesting of all the pal
aces"
The dancer threw away her cigarette.
''Who is this young girl you speak OFF,
she asked, suddenly; land how is it allowed
that she goes to Fontainbleau alone with a
gentleman?''
"Oh. its only Glendale, don't you know?
He's old enough to be her father-almost-

Calvadoro called him to her side.
Il want to speak to you about that boy"
she said, aloud; "the air of Paris is not good

'I don't see what good can come Of this
interview, but since you chose to command 1t
had nothing left but to obey!"
Nine. Calvadoro beat with slender brown
hand the crimson satin cushions, among
which she nestled, before she answered in q
studiously quiet tone:
Il am curious, that is all. I want to hear
from your own lips that you have had better
times of it than I, since
Sir Rupert looked around vaguely. Every
thing in the room spoke of luxury, extrava-
gance; the acne Of sensuous comfort.

doubtfully. 81 made you a handsome allow

The dancer started from her place Among
the cushions.
.'Say you hoped so and it will be the truth, /"
she cried with fierce vehemence.
Glendale's face grew stern. ''The time for
all these memories is long past" he said
coldly.
There was q moments silence: then the
dancer began to pace the floor with long,
graceful. swinging steps.
Presently she spoke again: "You did not
love me. You do not know what love is
you, with your cold, self-contained, narrow
nature. That is what drove me mad. II
have saved me! Do you think I cared for
him-that other?''
For heavens sake let me have no confes-

HOURS OF WORKINGMEN.
Results of Some Experiments That Have
Been Made in Europe.

Results OF Some Experiments That Have
Been Made in Europe.
tFrom the Contemporary Review.l
Now. the case with regard to short hours is
very much the same as with regard to good
wages. There are still some hers and there
who seem to believe in the old maxim of
Richelieu that workingmen are to be COM
pared with mules, who are less spoiled by
work than by repose, but on the whole the
beneficial effect of reasonable repose is now
generally admitted, and nobody would think
it wise or profitable TO return to the very long
hours of the early part Of the century. And
here again, what is good for one nation has
proved good for others; all have alike bene-
flted in productive capacity by abandoning
long hours of labor
When Mr.. Scott, the eminent Greenock
shlpbuilder. opened n yard in France he re-
duced the hours of the French shipwrights
from twelve to ten and says he found it ad-
vantageous so far as he was concerned. In
deed, he raised their wages IN consequence
from 4 francs day to AZ francs. so that
they must have done more work in the
shorter day than in the longer one. When
the hours were reduced TO eleven, in 1872. in
Canton Glarus, the manufacturers prophesled
ruin, but obtained 99. Is per cent. Of their Old
production in the first year, and more than
than their old production in the next. The
eleven-hour day was introduced into the rest
of Switzerland in 1875 and DR.. Schuler, the
factory inspector, extracts the following re-
Suits from the books of a spinning mill whose
machinery was too old to be speedy, except
very slightly: In 1S76-77. in twelve hours,
the mill produced 372. IS ko. of yarn per 10. 900
spindles. but in ls79-s0 it produced 3SS.SS
In 1881 the Swiss factory inspector reports
tannery and a watch factory as having vol
unfairly reduced their hours to ten. and hav-

particular district in Bohemia reduced their
hours in 1870, and, while they got at first
little less product in the day. they soon got
more than before. NJ. Freese, window-blind

The Army of Women
Workers in New York

A statistical writer has figured 1t out, says
the Pioneer Miller Monthly. that more than
zoe, 900 women in New York city earn their
living. OF these per cent. are widows, or
wives divorced from their husbands, and 27,-
600, or more than 10 per cent, are married
women. The wages vary from s1.50 to S13
per week; the poorest pay is given to women
who seam linen. etc. In the bookbinding
shops, in the glove factories, in the carpet
weaving factories, etc., the wages range be-
tween "a and 81. Bookkeepers receive about
81 a week; women engaged in cigar manu-
factories, 80; milliners. silk weavers. and
typewriters, $40 week: shorthand clerks.
$12, and women sewing furs, S1S. In con-
nection with the above, it should be under
stood that weekly pay OF S1.50 must be con-
sidered rather rs remuneration for chlld
than for woman. viz, to the so-called casn
girls. who in the large shops bring the sold
goods and the cash from the counter to the
cashier and then take the goods back to the
person who sold them.
These girls are generally IS to 10 years old,
although they are not legally allowed to be-
gin work till IA years old. The price paid for
making cheap petticoats and underlinen Is
becoming lower every year, and in order to
@
hard. This kind of work is almost monopo-
lized by emigrant women. married and single,
who spoil the prices for each other. With
reference TO typewriters and shorthand clerks,
they often receive more than the pay men
toned above. $40 and S12 a week. Ladies
who combine the two vocations may, in good
houses obtain as much as SIS week, but
then, of course, they have to be exceedingly
clever On the other hand, there are thous-
ands of girls who only earn their sc to 81
weekly as typewriters, and, perhaps, tens of
thousands who would gladly accept such
situation, but they have not the requisite
ability. The other wages enumerated above
must also be considered as an average the
workers can earn within each branch, and
they are, perhaps, rather put too high than
otherwise.
With regard to the cost of livelihood for
women workers, it is stated to vary from 80
month to 81 week; in many cases the
women live together in u sort of barracks,
have joint cooking, ETC., and are stated IN
many cases hardly to taste meat once week.
1t is especially the women coming from Po-
land. Hungary, and italy who lower the
wages by offering cheaper work, and they
have. in many cases, quite deprived the
American women of their work. Female
hands are treated very roughly and harshly
in many factories: they are not allowed the
smallest accommodation, and are fined for
the most trifing disorder.

under my mothers name. But my life is
blameless now. You can easily prove that II
you care to take the trouble. What does it
matter? What does anything matter?''
Sir Rupert hesitated, hat in hand.
"You are wrong to talk so, Inez," he said
In softer voice; ''it matters a great deal that
one should do what is right under any cir
cumstances."
Madame Calvadoro laid her hand upon his
arm and looked at him with her intense eyes.
"Ah, had you spoken like that once, Ru-
pert! Had you only loved me enough! But
it's too late! / suppose you would not even
kiss me-now-before we part forever?'
Glendale wavered, after glancing into the
despairing face He hated scenes. Every
particle Of love for this woman was gone, and
her appeal found him absolutely unrespon-
sive, Yet It was difficult for him to refuse
this last request.
He stopped, and his lips just brushed her
cheek. As he did so he smelt the faint odor
Of cigarettes upon her breath 1t suggested
something he detested. He sickened at his
thoughts and shuddered.

the couch, writhing In agonized remembrance

Household Hints.

Add a tablespoonful of borax to a pan OF
hot soapsuds; put your table silver in it and
let it stand two hours: rinse 1t with clear
water and polish with soft cloth or chamois.
A new method of cleaning clothes is sug-
gested. Dip the clothes brush in the yolk of
an egg, so that the bristles are quite wet. Al
low it to dry and then use. This treatment
has. ii is SAID, the effect to make the brushing
especially effective.
To clean silver first wash or remove all the
grease from the silver, then rub with a wooden
cloth wet with ammonia and whiting, and
polish on the chased and filigree parts with a
toothbrush. This whiting is wet with am.
monia and made into cakes or boxes, and
agents are around selling it for fifty cents a
box, that. the probability is, cost them ten
cents. 1t is good to clean glass windows and
all kinds of glassware with.

the statement that he had shot and
killed Wash Weir, in self defense, at
about seven o'clock this morning, and
at once gave himself up to Constable

told the story as follows:
81 was standing looking at a cayuse at
about seven O'Clock this morning on the
ranch OF my brother-in-law, Chas. Weir,
for whom l was working, when Wash.
Weir, cousin OF Chas Weir, came up and
said, Look, you $ - lat once
called him the same name end he pulled
a knife and struck at me, cutting my
coat. ran into the house and procured
a gun, which l put in my pocket. l
then went back to where Weir was and
after few words he pulled a gun and
fred three shots at me before l had
chance to pull my gun. l fired one shot,
hitting him in the left side, near the
heart, and he ran a short distance and
then fell. He only lived about five min
utes."
