When Mrs. Wing arose to withdraw Lord

ing behind Olives chair, young man who
bore upon his artless countenance an ex-
preston denottng that he would not yield
his place there unless compelled to do so
by armed force
"You must come again to see US. Lord

English visitor stopped before her to say
goodbye. by the way. let me introduce
to you our friend, Mr.. Christopher Strong
Lord TeviOt."
AS the two men perfunctorily shook
hands, upon his lordship's face there was
no particular expression. One American,
| more or less, made SO little difference to
him.
Upon the countenance of Mr. Strong there
was manifest an unmitigated Scowl.
There. You had to speak to him." Olive
said, exultingly, when my lord had passed
little boy!
To explain this situation we shall have
to confide to the reader what olives legal
protectors and nearest of kin were as yet
unaware Of. Mr.. Christopher Strong. a
young professional man of New York. in
Newport for day only, had very recently
succeeded in wringng from Miss olive
Meigs conditional promise to marry him,
If at the end of reasonable time her pres
ent prediction for him should prove justi-

Strong who against his own better Judg-
ment had laid his future at the feet of this
little witch. had now Just arrived from
town to find installed her visitor the
notorious Lord Teviot. against whom he
had lost no time in entering an honest pro-
test. But Olive, wiliful she was inno-
cent of mind, had refused to hear what she
believed an outbreak of jealousy. and the
result was her audac:ous forcing of Strong
into an acquaintance with the object Of
his anmosity.

trolling himself with an evident effort

Olive nodded. What further might have
occurred in their ill-tmed conversation was
arrested by the departure of the other

ent companionship; for, in that respect
Mr.. Wing, who spent his days as far away
as he could conveniently get from Mrs
Wing, was not available. 1t was horribly
dull at Newport, and yet she could not
think of opening her house in town till the
time of the horse show. still some weeks
distant. The aspect of the sea and of Ia
ture in general under the autumnal skies
did not exhlarate her. To enjoy the coun-
try at that season one must have plenty of
work or cheerful company, or light heart
and Mrs. Wing had none of these. She

Lady Teviot, that, as the perusal progress

PART l.
In the morning room of a house in Hill
street, London, s. W., council of three had
been for some time sitting over the affairs
of young Humphrey Augustus William
Frederic Dale. eighth Earl Of Teviot, known
to his intimates as "Tev.'
The dominant figure of the council was a
lady, of aspect large, fair and troubled. She
wore her bonnet, and that fact, added to the
general appearance of the house in a winter
livery of brown hollands, suggested that the
dowager Countess of Teviot had come up to
town for the day only.
Standing with his back to the fire was a
gentleman, advanced in years, spare, hook
nosed, courteous, well-dressed-evident in
ordinary times delightful and lovable old
boy-but at present abnormally out of
humor. He was Col. Kilgore, cousin on the
fathers side, and late guardian of the young
earl.
The third member of the inquisition re-
vealed himself in look and manner so un-
mistakably the family solicitor that enlarge
ment upon his appearance Were needless.
Mr.. Cliff was type of class as unchang-
ing and as solid in exterior as the Bank of
countenance. in all the years he had been
bestowing advice upon the noble house of
Teviot he had never at heart felt more de-
pressed than now.

Thus far his lordship had given no eyi-

Of the fair sex seemed to him, indeed, less
enlivening than that of the men attracted
into the radius of his distinguished pres
ence. Nor had Mrs. Wing disturbed the
serenity of his enjoyment by any hint as to
the dowager's Intentions for her wandering
son. Like a clever creature. as she was.
Lord Teviots hostess bided her time.
One afternoon while they were out driv-

Wings eye as che saw approaching them

DENY THE CHARGE.
NO ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO sue

Report That witnesses In the PSios
Murder Trial Were Tempered
with 1. Denied.

During the trial OF Charles PRICE
who was last week convicted Of MUIR
der In the second degree and SEN
fenced to ten years in the penitentiary
for the killing of a negro In a Wealth
erford street saloon last fall. some
strange stories were afloat. II seems
that certain witnesses for the prose-

subsequently that W. II. and Walter
Price. brothers TO the accused. had en-
deavored to intimidate them.
The Price brothers emphatically
deny this charge. They claim they did
not make any threats or in any other
way interfere with the due course OF
Justice. Actuated by the feelings that
brothers have for each other, they did
do all they could for the accused
man, but all they did was done accord-
ing to law. The Price boys say they
know Charles Price Is guilty, and they
are satisfied with the verdict They
claim, however. that there are extern
uating circumstances, which, II gem
orally known. would change public
sentiment and feeling In regard TO
their brother. They claim that de-

Record ms Voting Against the
VICTORY FOR SILVER
RESULT REACHED AFTEu HOURS
OF SHARP DEBATE.

Washington. Feb. 1.-The long con-
test over the silver bond bill is at an
end In the senate. that body having
passed the free silver coinage substi-
tute for the house bond bill by the decis-
i've vote of AZ to 90. a majority of seven
for free silver. The result was reach
ed at o'clock today after three hours
airy fencing.
The proceedings opened at II o'clock
today with q speech by the venerable
senator from Vermont. Mr.. Morrill,.
Mr. Teller (Rep., Col,) replied briefly
to certain references Mr.. Morrill, had
made to the cheapness of silver when
coming from the mines. He said the
same could be said of gold. Mr.. Teller
referred sarcastlcally to the character
ization of silver barons." and asked
what had become of the gold barons.'
From this time forward the speeches
Were brief under the agreement that the
ive-minute rule should prevail. Under
this rule also various amendments We're
taken up for debate.
The first amendment was that of Mr..
Butler IN. CO. prohibiting the Issuance
OF bonds without authority of congress
and also providing for n method of
redeeming greenbacks In gold or silver
according to the fluctuations of the
ratio.
Mr.. Harris Dem.. TENN, Mr.. Bacon
Dem., Ga.) and Mr.. Cockrell tDem..
MOD all spoke against complicating the
main question OF free coinage with the
Butler amendment. The last named
saying:
mo greater obstacle has been en-
countered by silver than this con-
tinued disposition to try to get too
much"
Mr.. Jeffer pop, Kan) supported the
Butler amendment he being the fourth
of the Populist senators, Butler, Allen
Stewart and PETER, who had resisted
the appeal OF the main silver element
for the adoption of free coinage with
out compllcatlng Issues.
The amendment was defeated 10 to 60.
The amendment OF Mr. Allen tPop.,
Neb.) forbdding the issue OF interest
bearing bonds was next taken up. This
: brought forward a renewal OF the ais
eussion over complicating the main
| issue.
Mr. Mills Dem.. Tex) stated that
| while he did not approve the pending
silver substitutes as reported from the
| committee still he would vote for II
merely to destroy the obnoxious bond
I bill as II came from the house.
There was an amusing tit between
Mr. Stewart and several senator's WINE
I Mr.. Lindsay was speaking. He mad
declared that free coinage was always
pressed when II could not pass and
never seriously pressed when 1t could
pass.
Mr.. Stewart interrupted TO deny that
the question was not pressed In 1890
for, said he, sit was useless to press u
when the president would have vetoed
| It,"
''who said he would have vetoed it?'
! exclaimed Mr.. Lindsay.
