getting everything else in the excite
ment.
The two girls sat down, and the
others looked on. There was no sing
ing now. Lydia worked as resolutely
as Barbara, who never looked up from
her work. The shadows grew deeper,
but to Barbara it seemed as if darkness
would never come. At last Lydia
threw down her distaff.
Il can see no more, " she cried You

could spin so.
Nor did I know it, answered Bar
bara, with faint smile q felt as if
was spinning-for life

could not walk home now. And,
indeed, she looked 40 white that Mis-
tress Hackett declared she must stay.
They all went into the big kitchen.
Barbara glanced at the clock it was
almost seven, and already the shadows
were so thick she could not see down
the road. A great wave Of thankful
ness swept over her, and the set look
vanished from her face, though she
was far too exhausted to eat.
About half-past seven the girls
started home. Lydia, although puz-
zled over her defeat, took it very gen.
erously.
81 will tell Uncle and he will come
right over, so you will be safe tonight,
she whispered, comfortingly, as they
parted at the lane. Barbara had
seemed strange all the afternoon, and
she thought it was all due to her
fright.
Lydia was little surprised at her
uncle's interest when she told him
about it. He questioned her eagerly
and paced nervously up and down
the room.
What time was it, LYDIA
about two o'clock, sir.
"Girl, girl" he exclaimed, "Why

"Yes. answered Lydia. Her shrewd

He hurried out, and moment later
was galloping down the road. LYDIA
sat up watching until he came slowly
home, and then she crept away to her
room
The next day Lydia went over to
Babara's and spoke of the spinning
match again.
81 do not see how it happened,
she said, looking sharply at Barbara.
Barbara was washing the milk tins.
She set them in a shining row against
the house and then stood moment
looking out into the bright September
sunshine. Her eyes were as blue as
the sky and there was a glad ring in
her voice.

COMING THE RIGHT WAY.

The TRIBUNE congra tulates the
Boise Sentinel on it's determination
to take bold stand on the irriga-
ton question. One by one the state
journals are falling into line, aud
the ideas advanced by the TRIBUNE
are crystalizing into public policy.
Ever since the writer read paper
before the Press A ssociation enun-
ciating the doctrine of inseparab bill
ltv of ownership in land and water
and the extensive publication of
that article, the current of public
opinion has palpably changed and
now flows strongly against private
control of water and waterways.
The TRIBUNE is too modest to AFRO
gate to itself any particular credit.
We just happened to touch a re-
sponsive chord in the public breast.
at the right time, and had the good
fortune to note the harmony and
the courage, Or audacity, to con-
tlnue the strain. All southern
Idaho is now substantially convert
ed to the idea of public ownership
and management of irrigation
systems. The next thing in order
is to begin the devisement of plans
by which that can be accomplished
without injustice to vested interests.
No doubt the best plan would be
the most comprehensive one.
Therefore, we present for considera-
ton at this time, the Holt scheme

MISCONSTRuED.

The Payette Independent is on
the point of feeling a little nettled
over the TRIBUNE's adenda to its
dissertation on wooden bridges.
The Independent misconstrues US
entirely. We had no notion of
controverting the soundness Of it's
argument, that under existing con-
ditions the county commissioners
acted wisely in erecting wooden
bridge instead of an expensive steel
one. 1t was the independents
postulates that piqued our fancy,
and we only carried it's calculations
20 logical conclusion. The indie
,penn,, mt ought not to sneer at our
.exuberanc> 1t isn't courteoue to
laugh at an anllable contemporary
who only seeks to emblazo1, the
efforts of others. We are quite
candid in saying that while we duly
recognized the economical advan-
tages possible in bridge construc-
ton, it never did occur to US that
failure to constr, vet specific kinds,
was fraught with such profitable
consequences. But the Independ-
ent made the point so clear that
we could not resist its elaboration.
Seriously, we commend the action
of the board, and hope that they
will always be guided by the same
principles which prompted them in
the construction of the Emmett
bridge. Whatever we have said
was not intended as a reflection on
the wisdom of the board nor the
sincerity Of the Independent. The
independents reasoning was, also,
perfectly sound, but it had abont it
a flavor of BEN FRANKLIN 6nan-
ciering that was real refreshing. !
FRANKLIN once figured out for the
French people how they could make .
ten millions Of franks every year
and all they need do to accomplish
that wonderful feat was to curtail
the consumption Of candles by fail
ing to sit up SO late Of nights by
one hour. FRANKLIN afterwards
said that he was almost tempted
to put the French on to a twenty
million sceeme, but be was, on
grounds of public policy, opposed
to too rapid concentration of
wealth.

THE TRIBUNE has been called to
account for asserting in last weeks
issue that there would be no de-
nand for the Soldiers Home in
the next ten years. We said there
would be no adequate demand;
that is no such demand as required
rushing the building to completion.
Perhaps, we did over-estimate the
time a little. We will knock off
eight years and yet leave Secretary
CURTIS without any valid excuse.
IT APPEARS that the constitution
of Hawaii provides that plotting
treason is punishable by death.
The provisional government is now
operating under that constitution
and President DOLE would be
legally justified in hanging Minister
WILLIS for conspiring with the
deposed queen. Here is a chance
for lively complications.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND now has
congress and the queen of the
Cannibal Islands on his hands. A
man that can manage a pair OF
such twins without the assistance
of a wet nurse is a daisy.

was accustomed to make that charge
whenever il seemed desirable to work
the Tories to an extraordinary
pitch OF frenzied indignation. But no
matter how firmly convinced that he
had been sent to st. Helena to die Of
hepatitis, Napoleon, II he had had the
self-control and dignity Of Sioux CHIEF,
would have died without giving his en-
emies opportunity to laugh, as they did
laugh, at his complaints when in the
deadly climate of the island the terri
Bile disease OF cancer OF the stomach
was developed and FASTENED TO its eli
max. His sufferings were great enough
10 make the crime Of killing him by
this slow torture a most atroclous one,
but they were not great enough to ac-
count for his entire lack OF even a SEEM
~ pretense Of fortitude.
n no man is to be called great and
happy before his death and burial, sure
there is no man further from greatness
aud happiness than the one who In his
last days shows that he can neither live
nor die with dignity.
The quarrel between Napoleon AMI
Sir Hudson Lowe began as soon
as Sir Hudson had been appointed Gov
ernor of the island, and it is hard to tell
which of them appears the smaller in
the light of it. Napoleon wished to
show and did show that as a prisoner
he was being badly treated by narrow
minded aud thick-skulled martinez, but
iu wrangllng with such a man he ex-
posed his own weakness as he had never
done before.

The ..Klephant Man.

Tbs person whose name will go
into the book that will some time be
compiled on "CurositIss Respecting
Human Beings" as the Elephant man"
died In London hospital In the early
part OF the year 1890. The poor fellow
was afflicted with two Of the most terri
BILE diseases known to physicians and
surgeons-overgrowth OF the bones and
humorous eXcresences Of the skin. Two
enormous bony outgrowths developed
on his forehead, and later on the bones
of the upper jaw, nose, right arm and
both feet grew to gigantic proportions.
The skin disease caused great
faplike masses Of flesh to hang from
different portions Of his body, particu-
larly from the face and head. The nose
was the facial feature upon which the
disease seemed to have taken special
spite, the overgrowth Of bone, flesh and
skin causing it to hang down so as to
give the man very repulsive, elephan-
tine appearance. Just before his death,
the head, which had bern increasing In
size with wonderful rapidity for about
four years, attained such proportions
that the neck could no longer hold It
erect. During the whole o. the last
year Of his life he slept in crouching
position, with his hands clasped around
his legs and his enorm nous head resting
on his knees and arms.

Ill

Napoleon and his friends believed
that in sending him to st. Helena the
English Cabinet intended to kill him as
genteelly as possible-to assassinate
him with the climate. II is entirely
possible that be was right Ithas been
guessed that in ordering men whom
they loved better than Napoleon TO
specially unhealthy posts in the tropics.
English administrations did not Intend
10 prolong their lives, out rather 10 sac
rifce them TO the good Of the English
Empire. Il is not to be doubted at all
thar when St. Helena was Sc
lecsed as Nspoleon'S perma-
nent residence every member Of the
English Cabinet and probably every one
of the allied sovereigns knew that it was
rare for anyone 10 live beyond so in that
climate: that diseases Of the liver, the
stomach and the intestinal tract gener-
aIly were endemic or very common on
the islands, aud that 8 man Of Napo-
leop's habit Of body would soon succumb

time the prisoner held out. At any
rate, the Liberal press Of England
