enough to justify mention. II is now in
order for Du Msnrier 10 write letter ex-
planning his obligations to Nodisr. Then
perhaps we shall have to revise our estim-
ations OF Du Maurier, and even look up

Hounced, few weeks ago. The volumes
have just come to hsnd and merit . more
comprehensive notice than can give
them after oaly q cursory glance through
them. 1t Is q task to shrink from, to
write our history In two moderate volumes
do net say that 10 can be done, or that
DIR. Andrews has done II, fesl
very sceptical about the matter,
never having realized that Banoreft's orig
inal 10 volumes were too diffuse In leading
up to the formation of the constitution,
or that Henry Adams nine volumes were
too many to devets to the administrations
OF Jefferson and Madison, or that James
Schouler's five volumes more than did
justice to the period from the constitu-
tion to the civil war, or that Bsncroft's
two portly volumes were TOO bulky to
properly relate how the constitution was
formed. j seem to have preju-
dice, also, that John Fisks wasted
no printers Ink upon thesix volumes that
closed with WRshington's Inauguration
as president. DR.. Andrsws' two volumes
are the history OF the country mp TO the
present, even including the new Wilson
tariff law. 1t is conceded that there is a
field in our historical literature for a
brief history-sketch of the United
States, preferably in one volume.
The man who writes such history, and
has the felicity to know Il successful,
will be Acknowledged a great writer. Let
us hope that President Andrews is that
man. His book will be read with a great
deal of interest, anyway, and IL 1t is q
success glory will be his; IL a failure
well, many fail where few succeed.

about as much to do with the local elcc-

selves would have had, if they had been
living; the heavy thunder of the big
guns and the rattling fusillade Of the
lighter artillery which was brought
into use for the first time in the present
campaign. The political situation was
duly set forth in various styles Of ora
tory-the ornate, the spread-caglc, the
laboriously off hand, and, rarest Of all,
the plain, practical common-senses style;
and, as North listened critically to
every word that wasSs spoken and noted
the effect upon, the audience. he gath
cred many valuable hints for his own
speech, which he was quick to appropri-
ate and apply.
Then as the last speaker, one of Ollin
North's fellow-candidates, sat down,
flushed with his enthusiasm and the ex-
hilarating effect Of his eloqne.:t c;;cs-
lures, the audience settled the.!11Gircs;

result Of my present undertaking. I've
brought many an obstinate jury around
by sheer force Of slsillful rhetoric and
personal magnetism; and It is the same
thing now, on more extensive scale. !"
This reflection acted like oil upon the
troubled sea Of his thoughts; and when
he returned to his room after dinner it
was with much Of his nervous appre-
hensiveness changed to q calm and con-
fident anticipation Of success.
He was putting the finishing touches
to his toilet and surveying with pardon
able satisfaction the elegant figure re-
flected in his dressing mirror when he
was summoned to the door to admit
Warner, who had called with the inten-
ton Of escorting the orator Of the even
ing to the all important meeting.
North was in recklessly high spirits
now, and he greeted his caller with a
torrent Of lively nonsense. Weighed
down by the responsibilities devolving
upon him as member Of the executive
committee and disappearing Of North's
levity on so important an occasion,
Warner was in no mood to appreciate
this nonsense, and his answers were
short, business like and far between.
Consequently something like serious

s.Don-t YOU know that, having com
mu,sicstcl with Hunter and Kctchnl,
as you did you had no right to enter in
\ to any similar negotiations with anyone
else? However, as events have dcvei'
oped. you willnot get into any serious
difficulty in consequence OF this double
dealing. if you faithfully perform all
that YOU have undertaken: for, let me
give you to understand that my inter
ests are identical with Hunter and
Ketchuln's, and you cannot serve one
without equally serving the other.
Now, what have you been doing since
that day Of which you speak. when You
were overheard discussing this story OF
4 Annie Dupont with Jim Nolan? What
have you been doing toward fulfilling
the agreement then and there entered
into?"
'Faith. sorr. an it's to Ivansburg
that Eve been, to see Ann O'Gorman an
coax her to give me thin paphers."
''Wouldn't she do it?" asked North
quickly, perceiving at once the possible
obstacle to the success of his plans.

the blissid saints that she'd howld on to

':Patriclz is valuable coadjutor,
though l cannot say that I wholly ap-
prove of his methods of persuasion, -
commented North with innocent grav-
ity. "And in spite of all this argument,
did Mrs. O'Gorman remain obdurate?
Did she persist in refusing to give up
the papers?' he added, perceiving the
necessity of rendering his speech more
lucid.
"Indade. an she did, SOFT, till 1 was

ness had settled down over North be-
fore they had walked two squares to-
gcther. 1t was only the outward sem
blance, however: his inward mood was
one of reckless mirth and daring-a
mood upon which he confidently de-
pended to carry him through the even
ing. r@&
The pretty little opera house was
crowded from pit to gallery when North
stepped out on the stage in the full
blaze of the foot lights He was wei
coined cordially by the gentlemen there
assem- bled, members of the executive
committee and distinguished citizens
who had been specially invited to
grace the stage with their presence.
AS he was responding to this welcome
the audience discovered him, and in
stantly a murmur of enthusiasm swept
over the house, eliminating in a storm
of applause that made North look
around involuntarily, though he did
not think of appropriating the compli-
nent until Warner, who was just at his
elbow, whispered sharply:
"NNhy don't you acknowledge your
/ cception, North? For goodness sake,
keep your wits about you better

Il shall find way to induce Mrs.

really transpire that she is suppressing
important documentary evidence" re-
marked North, with a trace of szeptic-
ism in his tone and manner. but be-
fore proceed to any desperate meas
uresI wish to have some idea OF what
those papers contain. Come now, Dem
mis-, my good fellow, if you can tell "a
plain, unvarnished tale begin at once,
and impart to me all that you know OF
this wonderful story"
And lazily lighting a cigar, North
settled himself comfortably in his chair
to listen. But after the first few puffs
he forgot his cigar and everything else
in utter .amazement at the story that
Dennis now related to him. When at
last the rambling but consistent narra-
tive was ended, North rose from his
chair, tossing aside the lifeless cigar,
and walked rapidly to and fro with half
smothered CALCULATIONS expressive OF his
astonishment and incredulity.
'Impossible! A fabrication on the
very face of it!'' he muttered under his
breath. half vexed at himself for hav-
ing listened to such story. Sand yet,
what can this man hope to gain by such
a stupid imposition? And how could
his story tally SO perfectly with the few
facts in my possession if they were not
genuine bits of the same mosaic OF truth?
Stranger than felton, indeed, if it
prove not to be one tissue of falsehood
from beginning to end! I must go at
once to Evansburg and see this OGor-
man woman. She shall not refuse me
when demand those papers!''
Pausing beside Dennis, North added,
with his watch open in his hand:
''How far is it to Evansburg, my good
man:"
'sTin moils, sorr, by the commits
sioners' road answered Dennis, eagerly
pe1ceiving Norths intention.
s'The commissioners road?" echoed
North. is that the only way to get
there? Isn't it on the line Of a rail-
road?''
Railroad, is it?' returned Dennis,
with fine scorn. ''Niver rail goes any
where near it, nor road, savin' the
one mintioned to yer honor
s.Then must drive over said North,
closing his watch and turning toward
the writing-table where he had tossed
his hat and gloves on last entering the
room. ''And you. Dennis, must come
with me- just run down, will you, and
call carriage. ! shall be ready to
!. start in a very few moments. We must
lose no time"
q Obeying this request, Dennis left the
room with eager haste, evidently anx-
sious to do everything within his power
I to expedite North,s movements.
When a few minutes later North made
his appearance on the steps Of the hotel,
Dennis O'Reilly was already there with
a close carriage and a pair of horses
which he had been so fortunate as to
secure from the Clement house stables.
Although he was inwardly consumed
Q with impatience, North laid strong
restraint upon himself SO that outward
" he was model Of cool, calm COM
,posure. While his impulse was to spring

! rein to the eager, impatient horses that
were chatting under Dennis strong

more easily imagined than described,
to survey the large audience who were
soon to hang spell bound, so he humbly
ventured to hope, upon his eloquent ut
terances
After the brief preliminary remarks
of the chairman, which were received
with good-natured demonstration, as
if the audience at least had assembled
themselves together with the best in
tentions imaginable, whatever might
be said of the speakers, and meant to
applaud and hurrah, whatever hap
pened, a tall, solemn man made a short
address in which he said great many
sensible things in very tiresome,
mournful, utterly unimpassioned way
which had soporific effect upon the
audience and set even the best-inten-
toned ones to yawning surreptitiously.
He was listened to unresponsively until
he closed his, remarks with the an.
nouncement that 'she would now yield
the floor to others who would occupy
it more acceptably.' Then the audi
torium rang with the loud applause,
which might have been construed either
as a hearty Endorsement Of his final
statement or as the involuntary ex-
preston Of the self-congratulation of
the audience for two separate and dis
tinct causes, to-wit: First, that the
gentleman's remarks had been brief
and, secondly, that the gentlemans re,
marks were now ended.
He was followed by several other
speakers, Of that class so well known
to a long suffering public; orators who,

King Oscar Sends Rewards to Two Gallant
American Seamen.
F. K. Borden of $50 South Front
street, formerly chief officer of the bark
S. G.. Bowart, was presented last week
through the Swedish and Norwegian
consul with the King Oscar medal Of the
second class for his gallantry in saving
the crew of the Norwegian bark Anun-
da of Christiania, Captain W. j. Lar
sen. Seaman Patrick Mulvaney, who
volunteered to row Mr.. Borden off TO
the waterlogged wreck, received a medal
of the third class from King Oscar.
The Bowart fell in with the Anunda
off the coast in February, 1898. The
latter was in a sinking condition, and
although heavy sea was running and
it was hazardous TO launch a boat even
Mr.. Borden volunteered to try TO res
cue the crew. Seaman Mulvaney offered
to 60 with him, and the two managed
to get alongside the derelict and took
off Captain Larsen, his officers and
crew. The shipwrecked men had given
up all hopes when the Bowart hove in
sight, and even then thought the sea too
heavy for a rescue. The medals are of
silver, with the head of King Oscar on
one side, on the other the name with
the motto For humanity" in NOrwe-
