dispatch to Mark Hanna at New York:
Your Geographic message, announc-

received. l beg you TO accept my
hearty thanks for your great services
in the cause of sound money and pro-

closed and gloriously o They were
most generous and effective and will
receive the warm appreciation Of your
c"ountrymen everywhere. | will be
pleased TO have you convey to your
associates of the national committee
my high appreciation of their efficient
services. The people in their majesty,
ignoring party lines, have declared
their detestation Of reputation and
dishOnOr, in whatever speCiOuS guise
they may be presented. They have
with the same mighty power affirmed
their devotion to law and order, and
their undertaking respect for justice
and the courts. They have maintained
their unfaltering determination 10 sup

given new vigOr n strength TO II

again cOnSecratod themselves TO cOun-

nanceS of free government with Il new
and holy patriotism. The victory is
not to party or section. but Of and for
the whole American people. Not the
least Of the triumphs of the election is

to the world that we are a reunited

have manifested in the great cause the
spirit of fraternity and brotherhood
that should always characterize u
common and equal citizenship and
have proven ~cOnClusively that in a
country Of equal privileges and equal
opportunity, the insidious doctrine of
hate. or of class or sectional distinc-
tons cannot prevail. Let us as Ameri-
cans strai2htaway devote ourselves TO
the upouilding of America; to the

e Was Therefore Pretty Hard to Pun the
Wool Over His Eyes
The old gentleman looked rather
solemn when his beautiful daughter
entered the reception room in response
TO his summons.
''Rosalind,7 he said, with the air of
a man who has made q disagreeabIe
discovery, you and young Mr.. Harkins
were in this room last evening, be-

downcast eyes. ''George-that is, Mr..
Harkins-called last evening, and L re-
ceived him here
''He calls about three times a week,
according to my count" said the old
gentleman, ''and suppose you put in
the time discussing literature and all
that sort of thing?"

daughter.

gentleman, sarcastically. 1T takes
three sessions a week for you to keep
up with the times. Oh, know all
about that, and / am willing to make
certain concessions in view of your lit
ierary tendencies, but L don't exactly
understand this"
The old gentleman pointed to four
cigars that were lying on the mantel-
piece. The blood instantly mounted
10 the face of the beautiful daughter,
but she did not lose her presence OF
mind.
"Oh, dear, how stupid of mel" she
cried. "George-that is, Mr.. Harkins
left those for you last night, and /
forgot to give them to you
Left them for me-"
Yes. You see, they're a new brand
that he thinks particularly good, and
he wants you to try them and see what

fdence in your judgment, and he"
She stopped, for the old gentleman
had critically examined one of the ci-
CARS and then smelIed of it, and he was
now looking at her over the tops of his
glasses in a very disconcerting way.
That's the same cigar he has
smoked for six months to my certain
knowledge" he said.
"Oh, then he must have made mis-
take"
''Rosalind," interrupted the old gen.

''Ye-es."
"And being a wise young man OF
considerable forethought, he removed
the cigars from what he considered a
dangerous locality last evening, and
he was so elated when he left that he
forgot them. Am / correct?"

Beginning With a Romantic AdVen-

ROBBER OF THE OLD SCHOOL
Grandmother ConfIdes to the
Girls a Story That Grand
father Has Never
Heard.

Copyright 1896 by Bachelor. johnson &
Bacheller)
"A story. girls?" said grandma, smil-
ingly. why, I've never mad anything
happen to me that could make a story
except one. And I'm almost afraid to
tell you one"
20 that sounds charming" exclaimed
Irene. Wen have that, if we have to
coax for a week"
Grandma was silent for several
minutes, while we chartered and
coaxed her. At last she gave way and
began:
Years ago. when / was a girl things
were so different from our way of liv-
ing now, that l fear my story will seem
improbable to you. / lived in a small
western town. where my father had
tract of land almost as large as this
entire village. 1t was a lonely place for
young people, but frequent visits to
school friends, return visits from them,
relieved the dreariness somewhat. We
had plenty of riding ana driving. how
ever, as well as an occasional dance;
we really had little time to NOPE
still, IL was a sad change when my
sister married and went to live 10
miles away. 1t seemed as remote as If
she had crossed the ocean; but the glo-
rious anticipation of visiting her kept
me in a fever of excitement for a whole
year. During this time / had met Paul
Foster (your grandfather) and became
engaged to him, and it was arranged
that he should accompany my father
and myself on the journey.
stage coaches were the only con-
veyance then. but there was an en-
chantment about travel then that no
amount of luxury in a palace car can
equal now.
THE drive was glorious! On some
parts of the road / sat on top of the
stage; but when / was tired or the road
rougher than usual, crept inside. Some
times we would walk while the horses
rested or followed slowly. Toward
evening we would reach some small
tavern and remain all night-glad by
that time of the change, but just as
eager to start again the next morn
ing.
THE second day. just as we were
starting, a young man came up and
hurriedly whispered to Silas, the driver.
/ remember still my lively curiosity as
to what IT was all about, when l saw
Silas lean forward and draw out two
large. fierce-looking pistols. He exam
ined them carefully, meanwhile holding
the lines in a peculiar way. partly be-

in her eyes.

anything that you never told grand

request for some remembrance ring
or anything. AS he had IL in his power
to take rings and everything else,
slipped of turquoise and gave IL to
him. He placed IL on his third finger
above a diamond; and as the diamond
flashed / saw a tiny cross cut into it's
surface. Nothing else was taken from
me. l was not even searched: and with
a courtly bow my knight of the road
and his companions vanished as sud-
denly as they had come.
"One month later / was almost worn
out with the entertainments furnished
by my sister in her efforts to make my
visit pleasant. There was to be one
more dance, probably the last. as we
were to start homeward the first of the
following week. Paul had been visiting
relatives and had just returned in time
to take part
AS the wagons drove up at the door
of the inn where the dance was to be
held. / heard a young lady, friend of
my sisters, call out:
why. where has Mr.. Meredith
gomez But l thought nothing about IL
then.
"The dancing had been going on
for only short time when this young
lady came up to me. and with tones
suggestive of vexation or pique. said
to me:
Mr.. Meredith wishes to be intro
duced to you
mfr. Meredith then asked me to
dance with him: and not once, but
many times We danced together-he
was an admirable dancer. Yet l could
hardly hear what he said, so perplexed
was /. wondering where / could have
heard his voice before. But at length.
as he extended his hand. l glanced
down and saw a small cross cut on the
diamond of his ring. %

But to the end he acted the part of a
gentleman. He led me to window and
stood talking while he shielded my agi-
tation from the room now filled with
whirling couples.
Nothing was said for several min
utes. In my foolish heart / was trying
to think of some romantic reason that
would account for his mode of life. His
face, from which the beard and mus
tache was gone, looked like that of
some boyish Sir Galahad. not like that
of a criminal. His kindly brown eyes
shone on me with a world of laughter
in them.
'Well?' he said smilingly. At the
same moment l caught sight of Paul in
the doorway talking to a man whom I
did not know and with earnest gestures
pointing to my partner. Paul. too, had
recognized him.
Though my heart was beating so
hard that / could not speak I motioned
to Mr.. Meredith to finish the dance;
and when we reached the side nearest
the opposite door. l stopped

pered family.
Some one has recognized you. I
saw them. You must CO. My voice
trembled.I am sure.
'Must?' he said slowly. still smiling.
Then he frowned. But the smile came
back instantly as he glanced at me, as
i stood pale and trembling. Poor lit
tie girl" he said. so divided between
a sense of duty and pity for a poor
wretch like me. Come-a bargain,
