the lights all out, Marie would have
been less than woman, more than
human, if she had not eaten the
bonbons, every one, and sighed be-
cause-because as she tossed the
empty paper-bag in basket where
others of it's kind were thrown she
had no private drawer to keep sweet
memories in. Perhaps it was the
late, unwonted feast of sweets which
caused the dreams of flight by ship,
with laughing eyes and glowing
curls, of kisses and sweet names.
Perhaps it was the sweetly troubled
sleep which made the morning nap
SO late.
But that is past, Mamma stands
beside her bed, unusual sternness in
her eyes.
In one hand a little bag, in the
other slip of writing paper. Marie's
heart stands still. Can it be the bag!
She knows nothing of the hidden
note.
Signora Nuyez reads: "Sweets for
the sweet. Walk again tomorrow on
the plaza"
Alas, poor Mariel The bitter after
taste!
Her simple, sheltered life has
never taught her how to deceive in
things like these. She drew the
coverlet over her pretty head and
sobbed out the whole story, shame
full to a Chilian mother.
''Stay in your own room," was
the only word vouchsafed by the
mother, who had not met pair of
laughing blue eyes i'll her girlhood
days.
Across the placid water sounds
tatto from the warship in the harbor.
On shore party of jolly soldiers,
somewhat belated, hasten to the
theater. All but two have entered,
one of them tall and fair, with au-
burn hair. From an arched door
way spring two dark browed men.
"Sweets for the sweet and knives
for invaders~ they hiss.
A loud cry, and the blue clad
party rush forth again to the assist
ance of their comrades. The police
gallop to the spot.
Down the dimly lighted streets
and alleys rush pursued and pur-
suer. The moon rises over the
mountain and lights a scene of
death. Andre, Fernando and some
who wear the naval blue lie with
closed eyes upturned to the starry
sky, but the blue eyes, no longer
laughing, are safe on the Baltimore.
Poor Marie does not know this.
And hidden by her parents in a
convent she tells perfunctory beads
for black eyed lovers soul, while
her tears fall and her heart prays
for him at whose smile she smiled

A COMPLICATION.

warm. 0lgnOTa Nuyer was SO over
come by the heat and by drowsiness
for she had been up late at the
ball the night before-that she real
ly could not 60 with Marie to the
plaza for a walk. Marie must go
with old Pinta, the nurse, and the
little ones, or else she must stay in
the court and while away the time
listening to the fountain or practic-
ing on her guitar.
Marie assumed an air of great
disappointment. If mamma could
not go, she would most certainly
stay with her. But mamma languid-
ly insisted, SO she threw her mantle
coquettishly over her head and went
out under the spreading trees just as
the sun dropped its great disk of
fire into the shining sea.
The brilliantly tinted sky formed
a background against which, in
bold relief, stood the Baltimore,
United States man-of-war.
Marie knew the ship was there.
She had heard her father mention
it. She had seen, too, a pair of
laughing blue eyes and curly auburn
head at the ball last night. Marie
saw the eyes and hair-that was
enough. A more careful observer
would have detected blue naval
in close connection.
To be sure, she was betrothed to
Andre, but his eyes and hair were
the same black to which she had
always been accustomed. Besides
one might look at blue eyes and
aburn hair as at the sunset, even if
she were betrothed. Mamma had
taken good care of her at the ball.
She had danced only with Andre
and Fernando and the stupid Geof.
Indeed the tall soldier had not been
among the dancers, but had stood
with companion near the door,
looking on. So Marie went to walk
with old Pinta and the little ones.
It was so warm, no wonder she lag
ged little.
The blue eyes had looked at her
as she passed them time and again
in the merry dance, and once they
had smiled-unmistakably smiled.
She had smiled back.
A rich, dark rose bloomed on her
cheek now at the remembrance.
But who could resist the contagious
of those laughing eyes?
A clear bird whistle made her
start and look for Pinta. Where can
she be? All, there she is, far down
the plaza. All absorbed in watch
ing the little ones, who frolic before
her, she does not miss the light step
of Marie, which should follow close
at her side.
The whistle draws near, and
Marie sees through the meshes of
her mantle the object of her day
dream.
No one is near. The dusky night
is settling fast beneath the spread
ing trees. He stops whistling, and
oh, dear, if any one should see!-
lifts his cap. Just the least bit, yet
it's lifted. He draws his hand from
his pocket, and as he passes drops a
little packet into the chatelaine she
wears at her side, saying in Ollendorf
Spanish, "Sweets for the sweet"
That is all, but her heart beats
very fast as she swiftly and silently
overtakes Pinta.
1--WE must go in. The night is
here, and mamma will chide us
now." And no one is the wiser.

THE ROCKING CHAIR.

A Cure for Dyspepsia and q Great
National Blessing.
From the New York World.
Critics Of America" said a well-known
physician, have poked fun at US for be-
ing a nation of rockers. Americans have
been pictured as sixty millions of persons
some Of them cradles. Of course. But now
comes DR.. Laine, a French West India ply
sician, who says it Is good for US. He has
been talking Of what he calls the good ef-
fects that the lullaby chair exercises on
subjects affected with atony Of the stom-
ach.' Atony Is want Of tone.
''Laine says that a course Of rocking
chair after every meal. the oscillations be-
intestinal peristaltiSm,' and that dyspeptics
should take notice. The chair ought to be
light so that rocking requires no effort,
and sufficiently inclined backward that the
person may lie rather than sit in it. Ply
sicians will agree that DR.. Laine has done
Americans real service. 1t has always
been rather difficult to explain the ma
tional passion for the rocking chair, but
now 1t Is only too easy. Americans are the
worst sufferers from indigestion and dys-
peps;a in the world, but it now appears
that we have instinctively rushed 10, what
is now proved to be the best system of re-
lief.
1.-The man who lunches on pie and then
balances himself in rocking chair Is un-
consciously doing his best to stimulate his
'gastro-intestinal peristaltism;' he is prac-
tically singing a lullaby to his outraged
and injured stomach, which is kept from
crying aloud only by this method Of sooth-
ing it. Behold in Americans nation OF
invalids vainly endeavoring to rock them
selves to sleep. DR.. LANES theory Is too
good not to be true

While in Chinese waters she came near

officers and missionaries. Suffice 1t to say
there was no further disorder. Her status
as vessel during the naval review was
that of flagship to the President. At pres

CLIMBING VINES.
How They May he Best Trained In the
Garden.

How They May he Best Trained In the
Garden.
From Meehan's Monthly.
Climbing vines have many different
methods Of attaching themselves to their
support. Some encircle a branch Of the host
by twining their main bodies around the
support. A hop vine is familiar illustra-
ton of this. More delicate ones cannot
twist around their stakes, but have to have
string or some similar material to cling to.
The ordinary morning glory is an illustra-
tion OF this class; but there are some which
simply climb by twisting the leaf stalk
around the support. This is especially true
Of the different kinds of clematises, yet it is
not unusual In some gardens to see stakes
as thick as walking canes put for the Glenn
ats to run up On; but. as 1t Is unable to do
this. they have to be tied to this pole by
twine, while the leaves go on twisting them
selves In order to find something to cling to,
and as a consequence the vital powers of
the plant are exhausted. In many cases the
clematis. especially the variety known as
Jackmanni, will die completely and sud-
denly from the attack Of minute fungus;
but 1t is more likely that this occurs oftener
in cases as described, for want of the
proper means OF support. Thread or twine
for the leaves to twist around, or even q
little brush wood, such as we would give
to q crop OF peas, is much more likely to
produce healthy and vigorous clematises
than when they are deprived of all means
OF using their leaf stalks as tendrils.

EX-SENATOR DoLPH's FUTURE.

His Name in Connection With a Pos
sible Supreme Court Vacancy.
Senator Dolph, or, to be more explicit,
ex-senator Dolph of Oregon, never re-
turned to Washington after the close Of the
senatorial contest in which he suffered de-
feat. Had he started Immediately for
Washington after the end of the fight he
would have only reached here in time to
see the Fifty-third Congress in the throes
Of dissolution. So, instead. he took up the
practice of law, and has already been en-
gagged in some important cases.
In fact, Mr.. Dolph never relinquished the
practice of law while he was In the Senate
but maintained an office in Portland, and
was the head Of one Of the strongest firms
Of that city. With Mr.. Dolph there were as
of the shrewdest politicians on the coast.
The firm was once known as big Dolph,
Little Dolph and Simon"
Richard Nixon, who was for several years
a newspaper man in Washington. and a
son-in-law of Senator Delphi, is now a MEM
Der of the firm. Mr.. Dolph will, no doubt
be often seen in Washington In cases before
the Supreme Court, as during his senatorial
career he had many cases in that court.
There is an iEtimation that at some time
Senator Dolph may be made a member of
the court.
Should there be republican administra-
tion. and Justice Field should terminate his
connection with the court, there would be
a vacancy in the Pacific coast circuit, and
the friends of Senator Dolph would make
strong effort to have him appointed When
Justice Field was not in very good health
about the close Of the Harrison admins
tration, and there was some talk that he
might retire, there was a great deal said
on the coast about Mr.. Dolph as his pos
sfble successor In fact, 1t was known that
the Senator's brother, Cyrus Dolph, de-
clined the appointment as circuit judge of
the ninth circuit in order that he might
not endanser the chances Of the Senator
for the Supreme bench.

Best He Could Do.

From the Telegraph Age.
A telegraph editor in a Boston newspaper
office wrote note of remonstrance to the
telegraph operator because the latter in his
typewriter copy had entirely omitted the
letters "f' and *" where they should have
appeared. The operator replied to this note
as follows: "Mr. Editor-Mistaques are
liable to happen in the best ov regulated
phan.iiies and to typewriters as well. 1t Is.
indeed, very unphortunate arhair. but the
"eph" and cay" phell out and are lost.

but phailed to phind him in; in phact, the

Plank shad at Home.

This is the way a woman who knows how
''planks'' shad in her oven. Take long,
narrow baking pan and put it on the stove
with piece of beef suet to try out slowly.
Split your roe shad as for broiling, dry
it well outside and in with a clean white
cloth, rub 1t with lots of salt and after
rubbing the pan with the melting suet lay
the fish. skin side up. in the bottom and set
it IL, hot oven. Let it brown and sizzle
till it is puffed in tiny blisters all over the
top and then you can be pretty sure it is
done. Slide 1t out on a hot platter and
serve garnished with lemon and parsley.
Cooked in this way all the rich juices of
the fish are preserved and there is not SO
much odor through the house.

An Invalid. Queer Amusement.

From the Boston Herald.
In Cambridge. the other day. small girl
was seen picking bits Of paper out Of a
barrel of household refuse that was wait
ing in the street to be removed by the city
department, and when asked what she
could be doing gave rather startling ex-
planation. She said she was hunting up
torn letters for her sister. who was sick.
She amuses herself explained the inno-
cent child, 'pasting the pieces together and
reading 'em! If this sort of pastime is to
become popular with invalids it behooves
people to burn their correspondence in
stead of merely tearing 1t to pieces and
casting them into the dust bin. For what

contagion was rife aboard nearly every
