prosperous SLAYER. No proof was sub
mitted in support of the latter state
ment. Bye and bye, this black skele-
ton in the closet of the ancestral gods
was forgotten, and the door double
locked and bolted, and in process of
time the same walls which had once
rang with drunken acclaim over the
successful pillage of huddle of savage
huts, and the slaughter and captivity
of its entire population, quiVered in
unison with the impassioned demands
for the liberation of American bond
men.
It might have been that the atmos-
phere being still charged with these
Contending elements of spectral ethics,
something of the acidity which such
combinations naturally engendery was
in the mind of the girl as she looked,
and pondered, and dreamed. She went
over her own life with a strange per-
sistanCe. What chance had she ever
hadP Other girls had had mothers to
guide and instruct them. Her mother
was nameless. For long time she had
thought herself a motherless product
one of natures freaks. Once she urged
a timid inquiry in the direction of her
maternity, but the attempt was driven
back with such loss to her self-esteem
and peace of mind that she never re-
peated it. She had no brothers or sis
ters. Her father, good as he could be,
she proudly told herself, was too poor
to give her but the slenderest oppOr-
tunities of improvement. She could
remember little before the time when
she was bobbin girl in the great mill,
and she knew little more now, save
that she was weaver. And as she
thought of her treadmill life, weari-
some, monotonous, with no sustenance
for the soul and continual over exercise
for the body, she sighed, and throwing
her Clasped hands behind her head,
murmered the usual benedictiOn of'the
despairing, "I wish was deadl'
"Oh, no you don'tl Come now, cheer
up, Nettiep' She scarcely turned to
look at him, the foreman, who, with
out hesitancy, seated himself on the
end of the settle she had fancied al
ready appropriated by her spectral
father, and leaning lazily toward her
continued: "Never give up the ship,
girl. What gives you the blues to-
night?,'
She threw off sCornfully carelessly
rendered caress, and turned savagely
upon the man. "Why should not al

sunday that they must rest till night,
and then they are to be cooped up in
a hot church and hear a long talk
about some Jews dead and rotten
thousands Of years ago. So it will go
on until they have homes of their own,
with worthless husbands to beat and
starVe them; and their children, before
they learn their letters, must go to the
mill to slave until they are grown, and
so on and on in the same old, tiresome,
terrible way. And then, many of the
best and brightest of the girls, will
dash into an even worse way, oh, so
much worsel I am no coward" cried
the girl, as she rose and stood over the
lounging man, "and so l will not go to
find my father out there, but 1 swear
there are times when l am tempted to
end it all, and risk meeting this awful
God"
Watson also arose. ''Nettie," he
said, "you have no need of such des-
perate thoughts. You are my kind of
woman. You are brave and original.
l need you. And 1 am vain enough to
think that you need such man as me.
Listen, dear; l will provide for you
and you shall never know want or
anxiety again. Say the word and l will
take care of you at once and forever.
Come, let us go up town, at once. Come
with me, darling, and be mine"
She looked him full in the eye while
he was speaking. They both fronted
the bay, and the full moon, which had
mounted above the great pile of clouds
which was slowly drifting behind,
shone on the ripping waves, on the
spread sails of vessels fitting here and
there in the light breeze, on their faces
his, cool, treacherous, Wincing be-,
meath her steady scrutiny; and hers
open, determined, as resolute an eye
and mouth and chin as ever knight
bore into the heady currents of for
lorn fight. When he finished and
dropping his eyes seemed to await a
blow he recognized as deserved, she
spoke as calmly and clearly as though
her voice came through lips of marble.
"You offer me home, life of ease
as your-mistress / thank no man to
offer me his hand just now in sood
faith, but to one who insults me be-
cause l am subordinate, and 1 dare
not complain OF resent, I have but one
answer. Cor and she waived him
aside and passed up the path.
Watson stood petrifed in astonish-
ment. He had not expected that his
offer would be understood. Presuming
that she would consider it an honors
able proposition, he had given himself
little trouble in thinking of her prob
able course when the disenchantment
came. But her naughty disdain of his
offer enraged him as much as her in
slant discovery of his intention. That
she, whose very life depended upon
her daily work in his mill, and who,
if blacklisted, must fail of obtaining
employment in any other, should thus
dare to defy him, her superior, was in
calculsblY surprising. 1t was several
moments before he comprehSnded it
all and pulling himself together, started
quickly after her. By this time she
had gained the street in front of the

sinthe. I might enjoy for an hour a
mild drink, but the sobering up would
make me more miserable than before.
No, I have no taste for that kind of
dissipation"
"But," asked the foreman, tenta-
lively feeling his way to an ethical
question, "you believe in these things,
don't you-in God, for instance?"
"GodP' she retorted bitterly. "What
difference does it make to you, to any
one, to myself, even, what 1 think of
GodP I think of a remark a poor
woman made to me last night. This
Mr.. Scott, who is, suppose, good
sort of man in his way, had been to
see her, and had told her that God
cared for her, and she asked him what
God had ever done for her. Her hus-
band drunk most of the time and loaf
ing the rest, one child dead from neg
lect, and the other sick and probably
dying, no food in the house, and no
money or credit to get any with, and
she worn out with work, and care, and
sleeplessness-What time. had she to
think of God? What could she think
Of Him? He was almighty, they said,
and knew everything, and the preacher
had often told her that God would give
her what she wanted if she asked for
it, and she had asked, and what good
had it doneP Everything was getting
worse and worse. And then, instead
of leaving her and sending in some
things she needed so much, the piOus
fool must needs tell her that she must
not give up God. 1T is fearful thing
he said, to be without God in the
world And the poor soul answered
that it was a fearfuller thing to be
without clothes and food in the world.
No, l don't want to hear Scott any
more. / can have some respect for
Father McCune, for he believes in con-
fession and absolution, but these
preachers who do not, only make bad
matter worse by probing into the hard
lives of poor people and prattling to
them about God, without giving them
the help they might so easily spare"
After a moments silence, she re-
sumed, "But l have more against him
than that, Mr.. Watson. You know,
or if you do not, you should know,
something of the neglected condition
of these factory girls. Many of them
are orphans and others are worse off.
They had better be orphans than the
children of drunken parents. They
want some chance, poor things, for
their lives. They have nothing to talk
about or think of but the nasty little
bits of gossip that fly about the mill
and stick to them like cotton hyings.
What kind of women, of wives and
mothers will they mskeP Have you
ever thought, or cared to think, of what
will become of themP l have seen you
look at some of them as if you did, but
not in way that will make them better,
and you know it." Here she paused
moment, while Watson visibly flinched.
"Now don't know or care much what
becomes of me, but 1 do want to help
these poor girls. So 1 told some of
them whom could trust to meet me on
Sunday evenings in my room, and we

rhe senate with the TarAn Bin Disposed
OF Could Adjourn In Three Days.
WASHINGTON, Aug. with the
tariff disposed Of the senate could
probably adjourn in three or four
days. There Is no measure other than
the tariff bill and the appropriation
bills which would be strong enough
to hold the senate together for even a
day. The proba bilities for the week
include a report from the tariff con-
ference committee and subsequently
de bate and also the presentation
of the conference reports on the sun
dry civil, river and harbor, Indian and
general deficiency appropriated bills
and the consideration of the calendar
when these more important matters
do not occupy a position to receive at
tention. The immigra ton bill will
come up to-day and in lieu of the
tariff may excite considerable debate.
The Repu blican senators are in a con-
ditiOn to press the question of a
further Iimita ton Of Immigration, but
so far the Democrats in the senate
have not shown a disposition to accept
the challenge, and they may choose to
permit the Republicans to mOnopolize
tho discussion of the subject.
The house will proceed this week,
as last. with a fixed program. The
house is simply awaiting the final re-
port on the tariff bill. All its routine
business has been transacted and it is
simply waiting. To-day, however, is
to be devoted to the Settle Williams
contested election case from North
Carolina The remaining days will
be assigned to the routine business
Of the committees, subject always
to conference reports. If the con
ferrees on the tariff reach an
agreement this week, the report will
first be considered in the senate and
after being disposed Of there, will
come to the house. If the report is
not before Wednesday there is no
probability that it viii get to the
house this week. When it does reach
that body it is not the intention of
the house managers to allow any pro
tracted debate.

CHICAGO. Aug. 6.-After a struggle
of forty days against the united rail-
roads, the American Railway union
in Chicago, has declared off the strike
inaugurated in behalf of the Pullman
employees. Beginning this morning,
each member of the union who e
sponded to the order to strike was at
liberty to resume work.
The strike is off in Chicago except
the employees of the Santa Fe and
Chicago and Eastern Illinois By to-
day the strike will be declared off
along the entire systems of railroads
affected by the recent movement.
At a meeting of the delegates Of the
twenty. four local labor unions affil-
lated with the A r. L. yeste rday af-

strike off in Chicago except on the
