He suddenly drew her close and kissed
her across the rails. 1t was well they were
so absorbed by the delight of the moment
that they did not observe suppressed
agitation beyond the scrub bushes that ran
down by the lane fence.
When the lovers had departed and disap-
peared In the darkness q man arose from
behind those bushes.

like this, an he makes love to herl' snarled
voice that plainly belonged to Elisha
Stone. "He smelled this old cob pipe an
that near let 'em know l was here. Well,
let him come an ask me for Lizzie! III
soon put an end to this foolishness!"
He shook his clinched fist toward a dis
tant light that he knew shone from the
window Of the Bunker place and then
moved away toward his own house, saw
agely chewing the stem of his old cob with
his teeth.
Having passed about half the distance to
the house, he halted, for familiar odor had
| assailed his nostrils
l. "That darned old wellW he growled
wrathfully. I'D just like to know what
makes 1t smell so!''
He changed his course and approached
the spot where he had endeavored to strike
water by boring deep into the earth, but
had succeeded only in spending consider
able sum of money. AS he came nearer
the odor became stronger, and when he
was quite close to newell he could scarce
ly endure II. He also noticed something
he had never noted before. A strange
whistling sound came from the well.
HWell, that thing beats all mater. It's
a reg'ler hoodool I'll have it plugged up
anyhow, an we'll begin on 1t next Mon

When he reached the house, he found his
wife sitting by dim light in tho dining
room, her knitting dropped in her lap. In
a moment he realized by her attitude that
something was troubling her.
! "What is it, motherS" he asked,
Without word she took a long envelope
from stand at her elbow and handed it
to him. The light showed him the familiar
card of his attorney at the upper left hand
corner of the envelope.
"How did you get thisS' he asked, rath
er huskily, as he ripped open one end and
drew forth the document contained within.
"Ike Neuman left IL as he passed on his
way home from town, " she replied her
eyes fastened anxiously on his face.
He read it through without uttering a
sound or making a sign Then he went
out into the night once more, and for
nearly an hour he was absent When he

There is very little chance, how

it nevr came out openly and formally
in a Nltional Convention in favor of
any otthem. The nearest approach

Probably majority of their con-
vention Of 1876, which denounced
the Republicans for havin "made no
advance toward resumption" was
really opposed to resumpsion. The
Democrats in Congress fought the
bill which became the resumption
act of January IA, 1875, and often
tried to repeal it between that time
and January 1, 1870, when it went
into operation, but they dared not
display their sentiments in a national
platform. In the conventions of 1883
and 1892 the free silverites were in
a majority, but they did not get their
views reflected in the platforms. The
Eastern and sound money end ofthe
party. which is til, smallest end, has
usually dictated the money plank as
well as the candidates. 1t will un-
doubtedly write this in 1896 also.

Democracy and the Finance Issue.

1t is clear iIns in 1896 Il stron-
ger effort will be made than has
been known up to this time to force
the Democracy, in its national plat
form, to declare in favor of free sill
yer. The reports from Washington
to this encctarc undoubtedly founded
on fact \ movement has been un-
der way among Populists and few
Western silver Democrats ever since
the election last November to found
a new party on the single issue OF
free coinage, and the prospect that
this will succeed has induced many
Democrats with lcarnings in that dl-
rection to join in an effort to secure
the election of delegates year hence
pledged to compel the National Con-
vcntion of their party to come out
