Delegate Gompers objected TO the re-

the SOcialiStic delegates speak as they

a political platform made it patent that
the Federation has no platform which can

The Most Unhealthy City in turoI,,,

At st. Petersburg the average yearly
deaths are from $500 to 5000 in excess
of the births in population of nearly
million. In the years from 1865 to
1SS2 the death rate varied from 2aI
per thousand to 1876. while the births
were only BIZ per thousand. In 1SS;
.1.lll children were born alive, while
there were 80, 100 deaths, an excess in
this year of about 5000 But these fig
urcs are apt to be misleading. The
W"rEmcn who come 10 TO the capital al
most invariably leave their wives and
children in the provinces. Thus, many
births rake place in the provinces which
are not reckoncd TO the account of the
capital. The fact that about - per cent.
OF the population are over sixteen years
OF age tCStifics to the universally Of the
practice of leaving the children in the
country The same fact is demonstrated
hr the presence of twelve men to every
ten women in st. Petersburg. whereas
IN most towns this proportion is exactly
reversed. It viii thus be seen that
though tn" deaths are IN excess of the
births, there is not likely to be any dim
mutton in the actual population of the
town. In fact. its population increased

After his last speech Colonel Prinsep
had addressed himself to Mrs. Knox; but
though apparently giving all his atten.
ton to what she was saying, he heard
every word that passed in the window
corner to which Jane had returned.
Promise me-" Jack Blount was saying,
eagerly-"promise me that you will wear
the flowers | send you"
Miss Knox won't promise that ~
sure" cried Valentine Graeme, boylshiy
impulsive.
"Why not?' asked Blount, with con
ceited smile.
because | have sent her some already
and-and it would not be fair!
"Favors don't go by roster"' contempt
uously.
Jane smiled, but would not commit Ter
self TO an opinion.
"How do you generally decide which
bouquet you will take?' asked Barry
Larron lounging Up to them, his dark
face expressive OF mingled amusement
and admiration.
Il take the prettiest," answered Jane
Don't you think that is as good way
as any out of the dithculty:
and if they are equal in their merits
Then l choose the one that best
matches my Dress
Scarlet and white go with anything!
exclaimed Val Graeme, eagerly.
Just then Mrs. Knox called to him to
Corroborate a statement, and as Barry
Larron also turned away, Jack Blount
leaned forward
Il shall send you yellow roses" he said
in an undertone, which, however, two
people overheard.
4 thought flashed across Colonel Prin-
sep's mind that were he to send her Il
bouquet he would guarantee to please
her taste. He knew all her favOrite
scents and flowers, and was also aware
of the fancy she had for always by
preference wearing white.
Nor had Major Larron been less OBJ
servant. and an idea struck him then that
caused sardonic smile to fit across his
lips.
Colonel Prinsep rose to say ''good-by :"
and the others followed his example, the
Adjutant and the A. u. G. staying mo-
meut to wrangle about the number of
dances each was TO receive. When this
was settled-to the satisfaction of neither
the Hon. Barry Larron put in his
claim.

He laughed in reply; but some twenty
minutes later her words came back to
him. when he saw Jane go into the veran-
da with Jack Blount. and after the next
dance had begun they were both absent
still. An uneasy feeling prompted him
to follow them.

The mess-house of the til Hussars
was a very large one, and peculiarly fitted
for occasions like the present, not only
were the rooms wide and lofty, but they
were well shaped as well, and conse-
quently easily decorated.
They had already begun the program
when Jane arrived. She came in shyly
behind her father and mother. but hold
ing her bouquet produly in her hand, as
though its possession gave her confidence.
She was wondering whether Colonel Prin-
sep would ask her 70 dance
She heard his voice speaking to her
mother As host he had come forward
Immediately to meet them, and now took
James hand for a moment in his own.
You are late. Miss Knox" he said :.
and the formality of his address sent a
chill to the girls heart.
At this moment Mr. Blount came up.
Miss Knox, | thought you We're never
coming. One of our dances is already
finished and, oh, why didn't you ear my
t1owers:"
She glanced at stephen Prinsep to see
if he looked conscious but he was talk
ing to her mother again. and apparently
paying no attention to herself
I only promised TO wear the prettiest.
II you remember, she answered 10 JACK
Blount
L would have sent you white flowers
if l had known you liked them best; all
white roses
Il am very glad you did not" she ejac-
ulated, sharply
This time the Colonel heard. and turn

Her glance, first sad and shy. grew
wild with all regret" as the memories
Of those days which were no more passed
swiftly through her mind.
She moved toward Jack Blount.
Don't let Us lose this dance, too" she
said, hastily, and the next moment was
whirled among the dancers.
Other guests arrived. and Colonel Prin-
sep had social duties 10 perform. but he
found time ever and anon 10 notice Jane
"a she fitted past with her different part

By and by he allowed himself a dance
with Diana Kpollys. more because she
was an exceptionally good dancer than
from any memory OF their old acquaint-
anceship.

smile
Then l must feel fattered."
