blind fury, saw and hesitated. There
was q rush of the workmen to the spot,
but Captain Leale was first of all. Clear
and cold and stern his voice was heard.

sayp and slowly, reluctantly, though
his eyes were blazing with hate and
rage, the Indian turned toward the man
he had learned to trust, to honor and to
obey, and the knife fell gathering to
the floor. Graice made a lunge as
though to grab it, and Rorke's ready
foot tripped and felled him. Then,
with both hands, the Irishman grabbed
him by the collar and dragged him,
dazed and scowling. to his feet.
There are ladies coming, sir" was
the warning Of one of the men.
"Take that man out and cool him
off,, said Leale, still calmly, to the cor
poral. "I'll hear the story later. Quiet
now, one and ALL" he added, as the
group dispersed. 1T is Mrs. Farrar."
They met ct the very doorway, the
fair, radiant woman, closely followed
by her daughter, the dazed, hulking
soldier, led or rather driven forth by
Corporal Rorke, and instantly a change,
swift and fearsome. shot across the
sweet, pathetic face. One glance was
all, and then, pale as death, she totter-
ed feebly forward. Ellis sprang to her
side in sudden alarm. Mother, dear
est, what is wrong? How you tremble"
For moment she could not speak.
"It is folly; it is weakness!" she falter-
ed. "But that face-that dreadful facel

And then Helen Daunton came has
tily in and helped to lead the agitated
woman to seat, and there she knelt be-
side her and soothed and comforted and
cooed to her as women Groom over tired
child, and Leale hovered helpfully
about, grave, strong and gentle, and it
was on his arm she leaned, with Helen
at her side, when finally she stood to
look at her husbands portrait. And lit
tie by little she grew calm and the flut-
tering at her heart ceased to distress
her, and Ellis, turning reluctantly away
at the bidding Of her garrison friends,
left her mother to the ministrations Of
the woman whom with every hour,
more and more, she learned to look up
on as rival, and then, saying that he
would call for them in a few minutes

with his sleigh, believing that short
drive in the exhilarating air would be
of benefit, Leale, too, left them, and
Mrs. Farrar and Helen Daunton were
practically alone. Mess call sounding
cheerily had called the men to theil
MONDAY meal.
The eyes of the elder woman had fol.
lowed the tall, soldierly form of Leale
as he left the room, and then, tenderly,
questioningiy, almost entreatingly turn
ed upon Helen.
"I love him almost as 1 do my OWL
son, Helen. My husband died in his
arms. Surely you must realize that his
great heart has belonged to You ever
since he first set eyes on your bonny
face"
Mrs. Daunton almost started to he1

"Oh, not thatl Surely not thatl he

"Not the less your friend because all

"Oh, never my loverl Ihave no right

"Listen to me, Helen" pleaded her
friend. "Shall one mistake blight a
lifetime? know your short marriage

"It was-heaven knows it was, as
sented Helen, shuddering.
"Then do not make youths mistake,

hardly spoken to you Of my eldest boy,
but can tell you now that, standing
here tonight, realize how out of sor-
row peace has come to me. Death,
which took away my husband, gave me
back my son.
"Deathr' cried Helen. "Royle Far
rar is not-dead?"
"Helen, how strangely you speak.
He has been dead year, though only
recently did they give me all the cruel
facts Major Wayne learned them from
the consul in Mexico" "
In uncomfortable agitation Helen
Daunton had turned away. "Royle Far

The tears were binding Mrs. Farra1,
and for a moment she saw nothing OF
Helen's agitation. The bells of Leale's
sleigh came trilling merrily up the road
without. Hastily she dashed away the
pearly drops and, smiling fondly, drew
her shrinking friend to her embrace
"Helen, dear, there is new look in
your face" she whispered.

then, though the sweat was standing on
his forehead, he turned, with such COM

frank, handsome face, to meet the proud
girl whom he loved and in whose avert

Never entering the room, but, halting
short at the doorway, she gave one quick
glance at the woman who, turning her
back upon them, first seemingly busted
herself at the curtains and then moved
on into the dining room, which opened,
army fashion, from the little parlor.

Something like an inarticulate, sti.

Ormsby was just in time to see Helen
Daunton reeling back from the window
and staggering toward the sofa.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.4-Iark Han
ma Is about to learn something. He is
coming into collision with the United
States senate. and something is bound
to occur. When an irresistible body
comes into contact with an immovable
body. the only result can be a general
smash; provided the bodies are of
equal weight. But SMILES aside, Mark
Hanna is not quite heavy enough to
tackle the senate; and if he don't know
it, he will soon learn it. One of the
most forceful men on the Republican
side of the senate said today to your
. correspondents:
During the campaign we were
obliged to support Mckinley, and to
work under the leadership of the chair
man of the Republican National COM
mittee. 1t made no difference whether
we believed that the campaign was
being properly conducted or not. 1t
was ''ours not to reason why; ours not
to make reply; ours. but to do or die"
and we worked like Trojans for the
success Of the ticket. And we won a
great victory for the republic rather
than a partisan triumph. Hanna did
good work. He was good manager.
But when the election day rolled
around, his work was completed
Everybody knows that but Hanna He
likes to be a boss. Any man would
be glamoured with the glory Of the
situation. But now Hanna is carrying
his work too far. He has been MAX
ing suggestions concerning Legislation
and telling what the congress must do.
That is mistake The house may
bow to bosses, but the senate never.
Sooner or later Mark Hanna must
learn that private life is a good thing
for a man who has won his spurs. Gen.
Sherman wisely understood this fact.
Nothing would tempt him to seek the
presidency, because he knew that moth
ing could add to the laurels he had
gained in his campaigns.
Hanna don't know it, but McKin-
ley knows very we'll that the senate
cannot be manipulated by any boss:
and that not even a president can con-
troll this body. Hanna must cease to
be so extensively prevalent, or there
will be a. tremendous kick: and Me-
Kinley will be obliged to send him
back to Cleveland to hibernate I'm
less Mckinley is willing to belittle him
self, he must get out from under the
Hanna penumbra. The senate commit
tee on finance will smother Hanna and
Hannaism. Moreover, it will be popu-
lar to do so. Our people are naturally
opposed to bosses, and we don't want
a president who needs a guardian.
Whether it is right or wrong, just as
Aristides was ostracised for his popu-
larity, Hanna is about to be ostracised
for his offensive dominance. His yell
low jacket and peacock. feather are
doomed"

planned, had been driven out of cereal
production in England for 130, 900 900

then stated that he favored a five per

would produce f12,500,00O ($62, SOC, ,OOO)

Joseph Howarth moved resolutions in
faVor OF changing the policy of the
country so as to secure unfailing food
supplies with secure markets for the
manufacturers by means Of preferen~
tial trading relations with all parts
or the empire. He said that preaching
to English free traders is like preach

desperately uncomfortable for them.
adding: so long as the working man
Is under free trade, there is nothing
left for an Englishman to do but TO

Many other speakers addressed the
meeting. Lord Marshall eulogized Sir
Charles Tupper as 'the father of pre-
ferential trade with the colonies, and
declared that British exports to foreign
countries had not increased one shilling

Steadily Gaining.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. TO-.
The steamer China today brought ad-
vices concerning the progress of the
insurrection in the Philippine islands.
1t is stated that the rebels are daily
gaining in strength and practically
control the district outside of Manila,
although the Spanish government
strives to create the impression that
the rebellion is practically subdued.
The origin of the uprising Is ascribed
to excessive taxation and despotic rule.
and the statement Of the Spanish gov
ernor that native priests started the
rebellion for religious purposes is
denied Captured rebels and residents
suspected of favoring the rebels are
treated with great cruelty. it is stated,
and all sorts of indignities are heaped
upon captives taken in the field. The
shipping of prisoners to the African
colony continues and 100 rebels were
shipped on Oct. 8.
During the October campaign the reb-
els captured the towns Of Montalban
and San Mateo ten miles from Manila.

thize with the rebels.
