Rupert Ray had abode there; but be-

shake of the head.
And all Gutchley shook its head in
unison; for the Gulliwums were the
creams cream of the society None
of your upstart aristocracy were the
Gulliwums- They had past to point
to. The ancestral Gulliwum had
come over in the first convict ship
that sailed for America. and, after
many ups and downs, had met with a
fall one day that broke his neck But
for the rope that CHANGED to be around
1T at the time, more of his bones
might have been broken
Mr.. Ray boarded with the widow
Peeke. who failed not to put in prac-
tice every widov1y art to break the
ice of his reserve Which was quite
natural In the first place he was a
nice-looking young man, and the
emory of the departed Peeke had
already ceased to be green Second
ly the widow, in common with the
body of her sex, possessed an inquir-
ing mind. To have a bOarder in the
house and know nothing of him but
his name was thing out of all rea-
son.
She afforded the gentleman every
possible opportunity to explain; in
vited him TO be communicative by
first being communicative herself; in
fine, left no means untried to carry
her point, short of the rudeness of
downright questioning. But all in
vain Rays reserve remained i'm

No true woman ever yet gave up
the pursuit of u secret. Fooled IN the
use of fair means, Mrs. Peeke deter

foul. but to any that promised sue

Mr. Ray. she knew, received a
great many letters. On the chance
that some of them might happen to
be left exposed she took upon herself
the daily task Of putting his room to
rights. But never a letter or scrap Of
paper was visible. Mr. Ray kept all
his papers securely locked up IN
portable writing desk, and none Of
her keys would open it.
But perseverance is apt to be re-
warded in the end. One morning the
widow found freshly-opened letter
on Mr.. Rays dressing table. With
that thirst for knowledge born with
the first woman. and which will die
only with the last, she caught the
missive up and ran her eye over its
contents. With a frightened scream
she sank into chair and remained
for a time motionless and terror
stricken. Then. springing up, she
fastened to her cham Der, hurried on
her bonnet and rushed from the
house, clasping IN her hand the ter
RI BILE letter.
In the course Of an hour Mr. Ray re-
turned from his morning walk, and

EPISCOPAL CHURCH TENDENCIES

The wide latitude Of opinion allowed In the
Episcopal Church. in regard to SO many funda-
mental questions, has doubtless much to com
mend II in these days Of religious unrest and
spcrulation It enables that denomination TO
retain in its membership many people who do
not desire TO break with Christianity. but who,
nevertheless, find themselves unable 10 accept
various traditional interpretations of dogma.
There is. however, something 10 be said on the
other side of the question. lin many respects
the comprchcnSivcncS of the Episcopal Church
is "A source of weakness. While in theory II

importance. 1t was an eminent Presbyterian,
We believe, who some time ago. with Il touch
of satire defined the Episcopal Church as 4
body in which every man does that which Is
right in his own eyes. And recently Il COngre-
gatonal Journal remarked that any ConGrega-
tionast who chafed under the bonds of Con-
grcgationasm would find all the liberty he
cravcd in the Episcopal Church.
This lack of dciintcncss in the Churchs
teachings if it may be SO called, finds an Illus
traton in recent uttcranccs Of certain prom
ncnt Episcopal leaders. Bishop Scymours
declaration that many liberal Churchmen are
dsloyal to the Greed of their Church Is still
fresh in the minds of the public Bishop Scy
mour is conspicuous High Churchman, and
might be supposed to speak in this matter for
the High Church party. But now comes an
other wcll-known High Church bishop. DR..

exactly the same charge against certain cx-
treme High Churchmen. In his recent con

further and refers specifically 10 an Episcopal

understand that he refers To a paper published

THE PL1NS or TIE SPEED U'IY

One Of the most noteworthy rcmonstranccs
ever offered 10 the government Of this city or
to any of its departments was that which was
presented last week TO the Park Board by me
executive officers of all the societies in the city
which are concerned with matters relating 10
art The president and other members of the
Society of American Artists. of the National
Academy Of Design. Of the Architectural
League, of the American Institute Of Architects.
Of the American Fine Arts Society, of the
Municipal Art Society and several others all
united to protest against ignoring the design
Of the Harlem River Driveway prepared by the
landscape architect contrary to the habtuai
policy of the city and the practice OF every en-
lightcncd community.
These are not mcl whose calmly expressed
and unanimous judgment can bc lightly treated.

accustomed to deal with large enterprises, ana
they represent faithfully the best cultivation
and the highest refinement Of tho city. II Is no
new thing that they demand. They are NOT
urging the city 70 embark on an unricd eX-

verscd it's approved policy, and they merely re-
quest that park territory shall be dealt with
artistcally. In this lhcy simply express the
respect in which all cultivated people hold ok
pert ability. They assert that taste and train
inc should control the design of public works.
and they condemn any other course as re
lapse toward barbarsm.
This is general principle which ought al
WAYS 10 hc commended for. but in this special
case the error OF the Park Department is pc
culiarly fragrant Besides ignoring their plain
duty To preserve and improve the natural
beauties Of this new park. they have attempted
to exclude the people from their right 10 tn

troops cS tie two nations in Africa. The con-
ilict seems to have originated in an error on
the part Of the French commander, who in the
MOONLIGHT n.istook the British force for hostile
Sofas. and did not realize who his opponents

both sides Fortunately the English as well as
the French press is treating the occurrence IN

suit Of the strict inquiry now being Instituted

bv the investigation is as to whether the en-
counter TOOK place within the English or the
French spheres Of African territory. These,
however, are but i'll defined. and. under the
circumstances, the creation Of a neutral zone
or buffer State. similar to the one which France
is now intcrpolating between her possessions
ard those Of Great Britain in the Far East,
would appear advisable for the purpose OF pre-
venting the recurrence of incidents of this char
acter calculated to disturb the amcable rela-
tions Of two great Powers.

EV1DING RESPONSIBILITY.

Once more the party charged by the people
with responsibility for the government OF the
country attempts, through its organs ana repre-
sentativcs at Washington, to force tl;it rcspoh
sibility upon another party. Inc shailielui
effort 10 cvadc its duties and obligations Is not
merely unfaithful and dishonorable. but IL Is
for n purpose immeasurably dangerous 10 the
industries Of the country. RepuDllcans "ouhu
be utterly regardless Of their own Obligations
and duties if they should consent to assist mat
perncious purpose by helping the party III
mower to evadc its responsibilities. Democratic
Journals and leaders have set up the cry: Inc
income tax will be defeated if the Republicans
vote against it; they will be responsible If 1t Is
adopted by the votes Of a majority or the Demo
Gratis" There could not be conceived more
djscraceful abandonment of the obligations Gre
ated by the election Of q Democratic Congress-
A party which cannot face the responsibilities
and perform the duties of government without
perpetualy begging its opponents to save the
country from the wickcdnesS or recklessness
of its majority Is not fit to govern for an hour.
The appeal is made that the Republicans are
bound TO help again, just as they did when
silver repeal was pending. But the object
then was one entirely in accord with Republican
convictions of duty. 1t was TO stop continu-
ing peril TO the public welfare and the National
credit In that juncture the Republicans were
justified in helping to defeat the Democratic
majority because the thing TO be accomplished
was of public benefit. But the object now Is TO
pass an infinitely pernicOus, sectional and par
tisan tariff. The success Of that measure is
endangered by the conduct Of the Democratic
majority who have caused the bill to be as bad
as it is for the express purpose of forcing upon
the country an income tax. The Republicans
are under no obligation to help the passage of
the proposed Tariff bill. 1t is against their con-
victions to lend any aid whatever, direct or In
direct, to n measure vicious.
The party charged with the responsibility Of
government should be held risidly 10 that re-
sponsibility. 1t should be forced TO decide for
itself, by its own votes alone, what form its
revenue laws shall take, with the certainty that
the Republicans will do their whole duty by
defeating the measure If they can and by any
means within their parliamentary right. One
proper mode under Democratic rules is TO refuse
their votes when those votes are needed 10
make quorum, so that the party charged with
responsibility will be compelled to keep q
