Mamie felt sick, but hurried on the
faster. Respite came in the discovery of
Lord Stcauber.ee in conversation with
an acquaintance who was talking of the
late murder at Chudleish Salterton.
"a happy release" said Lord Strau-
benzeo easily. Life was wasted ON him.
He did not know how to enjoy it. I may
expect you, then, for the list? Only half
dozen guns. My preserves are nothing
to boast Of nowadays"
He spoke somewhat absently, for
something had occurred to interest him
very keenly. In the man who passed
them as they sat at tea he had instantly
recognized the presumed murderer of
Silas Gregorias, and probably the only
man alive in that neighborhOod whom
the Frenchman had to fear.
And Miss Gregorias had disappeared.
She, too, had seen him, but would she
be as willing as himself to let the man
go free?
Here she is ~ exclaimed Mamie in
long drawn gasp of relief, and her ia
ther looked searchingly at her, then at
Hagar, who came forward, calm indeed,
but OH her face the signs Of a great
storm. 1t was not SO long ago that she
was as the potter's clay in the hand of
the potter, when will power for her SIM
ply did not exist. How, then, could she
be expected to exercise supreme self con-
| troll on all occasions, above all upon
such one as this?
Lord Straubenzee saw everything, but
Will. wrapped up in Nannie's changed
| little face, was deaf and blind to all but
herself during the drive home. And yet
Mamie was conscious Of intense relief,
for she knew that Hagar must have
won. But, oh, what had she done that
she must beg and pray to man for
mercy like that, when girls were made
to be loved and men to be kind to them
and lock up to them?'
| And Will Cassilis was to take away
with him q sorer heart than any that
night, for after dinner Lord Straubenzee
spoke to him quietly but firmly and laid
down the only conditions under which
he would consent to future engagement
between the young fellow and Mamie.

grief that afternoon. But what would
she say to this eternity of parting?
''They will not break said Lord

Then and Now.

Time was when an officer of
the navy, even when retired, felt
himself bound by the laws of
official dignity and gentlemanly
courtesy and abstained from
foolish talk about public affairs
and especially from disrespect-
full language regarding his su
perlor officers. The jingo news
papers are probably responsible
in some degree for a change that
is not creditable. There have
been not a few scandals in the
navy recently from the intem-
perdte language of officers who
ought to know better, hut who
haye gone astray in pursuit Of
cheap notoriety.
One of the chief of these Of
tenders is Rear Admiral Meade,
who earned a reprimand from
the Secretary and was placed on
the retired list because he had
shown himself unified for
responsible duty, This ex
traordiEary fire-eater has been
at it again. He not only ex-
presses his anxiety to war, with-
out awaiting orders, but took oc-
casion at a public dinner in New
York to speak insultingly of the
United States.
Foolish talk from General
Sick!es on the same occasion was
harmless, for he is a non comba
tant and no one takes him quite
seriously. Nor should Meade be
taken quite seriously except for
the scandal of allowing an off,
Ger to remaill on the navy list
who has no more sense than he
has shown of the conduct becom-
ing an officer and a gentlemen.

and surplus creating: he has
leased the North Carolina Rail
road at a certain and increased
revenue to the State, regardless
of political transitions and bust
ness depressions; and he had ar
ranged to make the Atlantic &
North Carolina Rail- Dad, which
has, on the whole, been an incu-
bus upon the shoulders of the tax
payers since its construction, a
revenue paying Investment to the
State and the private stockholders
for term Of years, covering into
the State Treasury handsome
sum every year, and not conting
ent upon the success or failure of
ANY administration of the road
appointed along political lines.
But these lessons the people
will ICON as the days come and
go of Russell's regime. The ARGUS
has an abiding faith in the people,
They may 60 wrong some times,
but they are giants enough to re-
trieve when they discover their
errors-thanks to the peerless
privilege of American citizenship.
In this country the people are su
preme and do not become dis
heartened and morose by their
own errors, because they know
their power and their right; they
imbibe it in the air as an inheri-
tance of liberty and the preroga-,
tive ef citizenship.
Here, the veriest pauper, though
bare-headed and in rags, under
stands his kingliness, and the
poorest child, be it eyer so humble,
who stands hungry at this glad
Christmastide before the fruiter's
teeming window knows that
pineapple is not turnip. As
some stray sheep on the noun
tains marks from a distance how
the flock browzes by day and is
penned in the fold at night, SO
the people watch the trend of par
ties and the drift of, government.
The stray sheep may come back
experienced in pasturage and not
the worse for its fleece being
torn by briars, and so the people
will return to their moorings of
safety when rough experiences
shall have taught them that it is
better to "abide in the ship" the
old ship of Democracy.

An Imnnrtant Office.

To properly fill its Office and func-
tions, it is important that the blood be
pure. When it is in such condition,
the body is almost certain to be healthy
a complaint at this time is catarrh in
some of its various forms. A slight cold
develops the disease in the head. Drop
pings of corruption passing into the
lungs bring Oh consumption. The only
way to cure this disease is to purify the
blood. The most obstinate cases of
catarrh yield to the medicinal powers
of Hoods Sarsaparilla a as if by magic,
simply because it reaches the seat of
the disease, and by purifying and vital
izing the blood, removes the cause, Not
only does Hoods Sarsaparilla do this.
but it gives renewed vigor to the whole
system, making it possible for good
health to reign supreme.
