oh, hum! Oh, hum-1'm SO sleepy"
sighed pretty Mrs. nNorcross, lounging
back deep into the pile of cushions
around her.
The slow, solemn tick of the big Ii.
brary clock and an occasional subdued
snap from the fireplace were the only
sounds to disturb the profound still
ness.
Mrs. Norcross sat gazing dreamily at
the logs slowly falling into glowing
Goals and ashes, in her mind a vague
vision of big, brawny, heavy-booted
man being backed into her closet, and
thought she would rather object to the
crushing her gowns would receive in
the process
"But, then, of course" following up
her train of thought rather drowsily.

would make noise-dear mer-out
loud-''what was that?" and she sud-
denly sat erect
Surely. she had heard noise in the
direction of the dining-room.
All was quiet again, however, and
not being an extremely nervous young
woman, Mrs. Norcross subsided into her
cushions again, thinking she had been
mistaken.
She picked up the despised novel and
read few lines: but it failed to claim
her attention, and again her eyes
sought the dying embers
The drowsiness stole over her senses
and she had nearly dropped asleep
when she found herself half out of her
chair, straining every nerve to listen.
Yes, it is no mistake this time. She
can plainly hear the catch in one of the
long dining-room windows rafting
gently.
The window in the dining-room is
gently raised, and at the sound the
trembling woman suddenly becomes
self-possessed and calm.
Rising softly she turns down the
blaze in the tall lamp, and creeping
out into the hall hastens up the broad
stairs, and flies along the corridor to
her room.
She resolves that as there is no man
on hand she will herself assume mans
garb and sternness..

''Will you leave?" interrupted Mrs.

SOCIALISTS SHOW STRENGTH.
Sunday Elections in Belgium Are
Holly Contested.

BRUSSELS, Oct. 14.-Elections for MEM
bers Of the Chamber of Deputies were held
throughout Belgium to-day. The voting
was under the new compulsory system
which provides severe penalties for nom
voters. The electors were divided into
three classes, as follows: One-year resi-
dents over % years of age, who were en-
titled to one vote; married men and wild
overs of family who pay personal
taxes of FIVE francs to the State, who had
three votes, and priests and others of posi-
ton and education, who had three votes.
The Clerical party under this system had
great voting strength. The socialists made
a strong fight as the Independent party.
Liberals are divided and are likely to show
badly in the places where the ClericaIs and
socialists are in force.
The elections were orderly except at
Alost, in East Flanders, where collisions
occurred between the supporters of Abbe
Daens, Christians, socialists and NJ
Woeste, the Clerical leader, who few
days ago was stoned by mob and forced
to fee for his life.
The counting of votes is a slow process.
Returns from the Brussels district show
the Liberals and Clericals ran closely and
new ballots will probably be necessary. In
Charleroi and Liege. mining and manufac-
turing centers, the Radicals and socialists
are also ahead, having defeated many Lib
eral candidates, including Freere Johan.
The Moderate Liberal leader, NJ. de Bru
yan, Minister of Public Works ana Agri-
culture. has been elected in Fermonte.
The Catholic candidates have been re-
elected in all tie Flemish towns with large
majorities. AS far as ascertained it ap
pears the first trial of the new system has
resulted in severe check of the Moderate
Liberals to the benefit of the Clericals and
Socialists. The Clericals will remain the
Government party, having opposed to
them divided minority of Liberals and
Socialists.

VESSELS IN A GALE.
The Bark Ludwig Disabled and
the Mate Lost.
Much Anxiety Felt for the Steamer
Scythian, Which Is Thought TO
Have Foundered.

PENSACOLA, Fla. Oct. 1.-THE bark
John Ludwig, which sailed from here with
cargo of timber, was picked up last night
about fifteen miles off the bar and towed
in by the tug Marsh. The bark was caught
in the storm thirteen miles south of the
bar. Her masts were broken off and car
ried away and her bulwarks stove in. The
crew was lashed TO the rails, but the
waves broke the ropes which held the
mate and he was swept away and lost.
Much anxiety is felt here about the
steamship Scythian, Captain Hamilton, of
the Short Coal Company fleet. She left
Tampico on October Is with the large coal
barge Albambra in tow. and has now been
several days overdue. No tidings have
been received of the vessel since the storm.
