He looked at her quietly for a mo-
ment, and then said shortly,
Goodnight, Mademoiselle Blanche,

Blanche turned to the bed. Hart
mann, who was still unconscious, was
moaning and muttering to himself in
the German tongue. The girls eyes
filed with tears. Quickly approaching
the bedside, she took his hand which
lay upon the coverlet and pressed it
TO her lips; then, fearful lest he should
be sinking, measured ten drops Of the
anodyne, and gently, yet almost by
force, placed the glass to his lips. He
drank unconsciously. and after few
minutes his breathing grew calm, and
he lay as If in q deep sleep.

Senate-The Senate's morning ses-
sion lasted no longer than the reading
of the minutes, an adjournment being
taken to give the Ell Paso county dele
cations an opportunity to address the
members. On adjournment the Senate
moved in a body over to the House,
where the morning was spent In this
manner.
The afternoon session Of the Senate
opened by the committee on county
AFFAIRS recommending that the bill pro-
viding for the creation of the county
of Orc from the mining district Of
Cripple Creek be printed. The report
was adopted without discussion.
The committee on state affairs rec
commended that the bill to authorize
the board Of capitol managers to lay
out, ornament and beautify the capt.
tol grounds be indefinitely postponed
for the reason that the state Is more
in need of funds for other purposes.

the original and Senator Renter pre-
sented a substitute as minority re-
port. Both were discussed until night
and then defeated.

House, as in the Senate, was very
brief. Immediately upon the minutes
having been read recess was taken to
permit joint discussion on the divis-
ion of Ell Paso county.

and members Of the Senate filed In
and business was taken up by the COM
mittee on county lines, which had
charge of the matter. Speaker Hum
phrey was made chairman Of the meet
ing, and in honor of the occasion the

ties. He said the proposed new county

and cited "a counties which had an
assessed valuation Of less than $1,OOO.-
600, whereas the proposed new county
to be named Oro, paid taxes on 81, 1,27O,-
900. The taxes for 1895 would be over
81, 100000. 1t was gold camp. and SO
not affected by the rise or fall OF Sill
yer. He argued the county would be
amply rich enough to support itself.
In Cripple Creek two petitions had
been sent out to the merchants, one
for and one against the division. The
result was 300 to In favor Of the
division. Thirty-five delegates brought
the petitions to the legislature, among
whom IT were merchants.

of Cripple Creek no one In Ell Paso
county wanted the division.

Thirty First Day.

Senate-In the Senate a warm debate
ensued over the Introduction Of me-
mortal attacking the government for
its attitude on the bond question and
toward silver, introduced by Senator
Carney, and the result of joint COM
mittee. This resolution contained the
language, whereas, we view with
alarm the attitude of the leaders of
the older political parties In the preseht
crisis" The Populists wanted the res
olutions adopted, while the Republi-
cans objected to them on account of
the allusion to the colder" parties. Sell
ator Hartzell sounded the keynote of
the contention by declaring that Sena-
tors Teller and Wolcott were attacked
In the expression, while the Populists
claimed that they were not. The reso-
When the truck bill came up for dis
cussion 1t was handled by almost ev-

and the bill passed second reading.
MIR. Clarke, in charge Of House bill

-1.isten, Blanche. We were Do
taohed to storm cottage, held by
handful of the French. As we crept
forward in the shadow of the trees, we
saw one of the enemy standing like
sentinel. in the full moonlight. His
back was toward us; he didn't seem
to hear us coming. Twas upon him
before he could turn or fly. I cut
him down with my sword; he fell
without groan."
"Let me go, for Gods sake!"
moaned the frightened girl; 81 cannot
listen"
But though his hold upon her was
weak and trembling, she had not the
strength to draw herself away.
1--WE sacked the cottage" he con-
tinued, in hoarse whisper; "then
sick of the slaughter, 1 stepped back
into the moonlight. Suddenly heard
q voice family calling to me. Stoop-
ing, 1 beheld the officer I had cut
down, not dead, but dying. Touched
with compassion, knelt down beside
him and tried to raise him up. Too
later he murmured; but if you are
man-a gentleman, perhaps-promise
me one thing; if you survive, to for
ward this to the French general, and
tell him-tell him Here his speech
failed him; but with last effort he
drew from his breast locket and
golden chain, and thrusting them into
my hands, fell back, lifeless and cold"
"Go on!'' cried Blanche, fascinated,
and shaking like leaf; "for PHYS
sake go on"
II swore to fulfill his last request.
Like coward delayed. Next morn
ing we were upon the march. But
look, Blanche"
With tremulous effort he opened
his dress and drew forth a chain and
locket which had lain concealed upon
his heart. At that moment convul-
sion ran through his frame, and with
deep groan he sunk back upon the
bed. His hand still held the locket.
White as marble, Blanche loosened his
fingers and took it from him, and held
it up to the light. Her head went
round, her eyes dazzled but with the
strength of despair she pressed the
spring and made it open. A cry Of
horror burst from her lips. She saw
her mothers likeness--side by side
with her own as little child. 1t was
the gold medallion which she had
given to her father the night before
he went away.
