Then, starting to her feet, she broke

of such a thing"

A silence ensued, during which the
old fear once more Obtruded itself on
the Anglo-Australian's mind. Was she
indeed guilty Of that crime? Merry
ously fixing his gaze on her half
averted face, he studied it until to
his overWrOught imagination it seemed
as if the clear-cut features grew dis
tOrted with fury, the large sOrrOwful
eyes became fiend-like in their I'M

She opened the window wider, and
pushed his chair more forward, so that
he could see out, then went to remind
Mrs. Priolo that it was twelve o'clock,
and time for the invalid to have his
soup.
Ten minutes later she came back
with it herself.
She had toasted a thin piece Of bread
for him too, and was persuading him
to try to eat it, when the housekeeper
burst in and dragged the tray so
roughly from her hands that nearly
all the soup was spilled. At the same
time she directed such malicious
glance at Ellen that the girl shrunk
backward and dared not demonstrate.
Mr. Bowyer however turned on her
severely.
"What do you mean, madame?' he
inquired 50 sternly that Mrs. PriolO
was recalled at once to prudence and
her ordinary common sense.
With something between a laugh
and a sob, she stammered an incOher-
ent excuse-the soup was not ready;
she had forgotten to favor it. Then
not waiting to hear Mr.. Bowyer's
testy reioiner, she fed percipitately,
tray in hand.
ELLEN, bewildered and frightened,
without knowing why, had also left
the room, and was now prone upon
| her bed, weeping passionately bitter
tears. 1t seemed as though no one
wanted her. no one loved her-as
though in all the wide, wide world
! there was no such desOlate, homeless
waif as she.

BIDS FOR THE BONDS.
The Names of the Bidders Not to Be

The Names of the Bidders Not to Be
Made Public for the Present.
Washington, Jan. A.-Bond offers in
considerable numbers, but most Of them
for small amounts, continue to be received
daily at the treasury department. The
names of the bidders will not be an
nounced until the bids are opened on Feb
l, next nor the amount bid for, nor the
prices offered. This information,
Secretary Carlisle holds, should not
e made public in justice to
those who bid and even at the opening of
the bids on Feb. /, this information may
not be made public, but only the aggregate
number of bidders, the aggregate amount
of offers, and the highest and lowest
prices bid 1t is said that few large bids
have yet been received. Those who in
vest usually in government securities are,
however, evidently preparing to bid.
Since Secretary Carlisle on Jan. II, issued
his circular inviting proposals,
the treasury department has lost
81 ,3O0,00 in gold and 81 ,500,0 in legal
tenders. The gold, it is asserted, is be-
ing withdrawn for the purpose of pur-
chasing bonds and the legal tenders are
convertible into gold on presentation,
making in round figures 81, 500. 900 in gold
or its equivalent withdrawn since Jan 16.

KEY VESTS CIGAR MAKERS.
Secretary Carlisle Decides to Send the
Spaniards Back.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Seceretary Car
lisle and Superintendent Stump have
practically decided. though an order has
not yet been issued. that the Spanish
cigar makers who came to Key West un-
der con tract will have to return to Cuba
and warrants for their arrest unless they
voluntarily return will be issued and
placed in the hands Of the United States
marshal to serve.
The trouble at Key West over the i'm
portation OF cigar makers from Cuba who
compete with American workers, is re-
ceiving consideration by the House com
mittee on immigration, of which Repre-
sentative Geisseuhainer, Of New Jersey,
is chairman. To-day the committee lis
tened to statements from interested par
ties representing labor organizations, who
protested against the violation of the con
tract labor law. II is not likely that the
committee will take action until some
recommendation is made by the treasury
department officials, with whom rests the
enforcement of the law.

TILLMAN SPIES IN PERIL.
A Mob MelaCeS Them While Making
a Raid at Charleston.

The Crowds Anger Increased By .
Claim That One of the Constables
Slapped Woman in the Face-Po-
lice Rally to the Protection of the
Raiders.
Charleston, S. C. Jan. 24-An the indi-
cations here point to bloodshed, growing
out Of the enforcement of the new dispen-
sary law. An incident occurred to-day
which nearly procipitated riot. The
whisky constabulary started out In the
morning and raided the grocery store Of
w. +. Jordan, well-to-do and highly re-
spectacle merchant. While they were
looting the place, George Legare, who is
MIR. Jordan's lawyer, came down and at
tempted to see his client. The constabu-
larry arrested him, and by their directions
he was taken to the police station in the
black maria.
Later in the day the spies raided the
grocery of A. G. Nolte, % Vanderhorst
street Mrs Nolte was the only one in,
and she stood at the door and forbade
them to enter. One of the spies named
Elliott, it Is said, slapped her in the face,
and the posse started to enter.
LOOKED LIKE A LYNoHING.
Instantly as il by magic a body of over
100 apparently respectable white men APP
peared on the scene, and for n few mo-
ments it looked like case of lynching
Fortunately, the police station was not
far Off, and the chief of police
with a squad of reserves came up
in time and guarded the constabulary to
the police station, the crowd following.
Elliott was subsequently served with
warrant, charging him with assault and
battery.
The crowd which threatened the con-
stables was clearly not an impromptu
mob. Its quick gathering seems TO give
color TO rumor that an organization has
been formed TO resist the tyrannical and
odious dispensary law, and a collision is
likely TO occur at any time. The consta-
bles, when they start out on raid, are
now guarded by squad Of policemen.
The situation is very squally.
LYNCHERs AFTER THE SPIES.
Charleston, S. c., Jan. "a, II p. m,--The
first riot caused by the attempt TO enforce
the now dispensary law occurred to-
night, A body of 500 angry citizens pro-
ceeded to the lodging house where the
spies boarded with the intention oflynch-
ing them The police, however, got wind
OF the affair and the spies got out Of
the way There was a fusilade of pistol
shots and much excitement. A citizen
named Wallio Belloncea was wounded in
the neck, but not fatally; and the crowd
then slowly dispersed, after finding that
the spies were not at home. The feeling

tax on manufactured tobacco They
made objection to an increase on cigar
cites They also urged that while farm
ers producing tobacco might be allowed
TO sell direct To the consumer 1t was an
injustice to the manufacturer to allow re-
tail dealers to sell leaf tobacco, as manu-
facturers pay license and dealers do
not.
Chairman Wilson expressed approval of
the propositions, but referred the delega-
tion to the subcommittee in charge Of in
ternal revenue taxation.
