Why" said the chaperon, this is news to me"
 Tt is nonsense" said Julia, incisively. "J'y suis. J'y reste." Then she looked at the man for an instant with a steady gaze. There was something of inten- sity in her eyes. What did he know? She would die before she would ask him. He prattled about the play. "The actress. so delightful. There was so much fun in the thing, and he had noticed how much Miss Royall had en- Joyed it. She ought to have waited for the wind-up."
 "l might have," she said, " if it had not been that both of us were tired" Then servant at the door, who was in waiting, guided the two ladies to their carriage. There was pleasant 15 min utes' chat in Miss Royall's room. The chaperon was clever woman and knew precisely when to go.
 When Miss Royall was alone she in. dulged in very hearty and, may it be said, wholesome cry. And between q final sob you might have made out something like this: If that Robert Bryant had pleased, he might have told me where he was," and T despise my self for giving up in this way.

LOVERS CANDLES.
Improvement Over the Average Fortune-

Improvement Over the Average Fortune-
 Telling Devices.
 A quaint old superstition is to this day held in Poland to the effect that two lighted candles set afioat on the river by two lovers will by their con- duct foretell if the course of true love will run smooth or otherwise.
 The lovers candles" are launched at very pretty water fete that takes place every summer on that part of the Vistula which runs through Poland. It commences at sunset. The river is thronged with a procession of little boats, containing masked ladies and gentlemen. Each person carries two wreaths and two candles, the latter representing the person carrying them, and the object of his or her affections. They are lighted, fixed firmly in the center of the wreaths and laid side by side ill the water. Should they float down the river close together it is a sign that their lives should be united. Should they drift away from each other it is a sign that the lovers will be parted, and should they only drift asunder for little way and further on come together again it is sign that the loved ones will only be parted for time and all come right in the end. There is much method and order about the arrangement of this procession. The boats glide along in rows, so many abreast, and after the first row have proved their wreaths they move away to the sides and the others come for ward in succession. The river is we'll illuminated, and large concourse of people assemblies to watch the proceed ings. The scene is charming one, and reminds one more of fairyland than of anything else.-The Princess.
 The earthquake that recently shook the country from the gulf to the great lakes is held accountable for phenome- non near Fowler, Clinton county, Mich. At one time there was little creek near the village, known as Stony creek, but for several years its bed was entirely dry On the day of the earthquake water rose at various places along the. creek, and there is now considerable stream running. No rain fell in that sec- ton to account for the water

''Expecting Saratoga, Newport, Bar Harbor to be crowding Puget sound, dc you?" said John Dallass. as he sat on a fallen log in the gloom of primeyal forest in northwestern Washington. somewhere near Punget sound. Then tfle young man took out a map and studied it 'Whether this railroad will make q plunge into the waters of Puget sound just here and the whole thing come to grief depends upon the whim of an engineer, and that engineer is utterly incompetent" he continued.
 ''Time the men turned up. wanted to be lonesome, and l am. Great fun to have no other company than the trees. It's disappointing, all the same. Blu. what is disappointing? I expected so much of John Dallass, and this Jack Dallass has wilted. Heroic! You heroic? You are simply a case of collapse--a white-feathered poltroon." The speaker made big fist and absolutely shook it in his own face. "Yes, you wanted to show how dead in earnest you were and to air the Dallass temper. l engaged in the skirmish and it wound up in a pitched battle. I must confess to have forced the fighting. She! Why she diG not even bring up her reserves. Now, if she had only cried-just half of lir, tie tear! A woman ought to weep. l. is expected of her-but she did not She laughed at me" Then Jack Dallass strode up and down.
 Whom am I talking to? These great frs and oaks and spruces? We'll, lis ten, then. Don't tattle; you are hun dreds of feet above such thing. A jok- ing matter! I don't intend to be funny. l am just miserable. Confound these busybodies who made an ornithologic- al or culinary joke on me and told it to Julia Royall. Is it my fault that Julia has none? And they, the dis gusting they said to her that Jack Dallass was going to feather his nest or butter his beans or something equal ly coarse and outrageous; and I came with my ears red-hot and accused her O. deeming me mercenary, and want ed to know why she hadn't resented it; and when I was through she laughed, and she laughed, and, oh! hoN ohC hhu ShOo downstairs and took the first hat on the hat rack-and it wasn't my hat, and it made me all the more ridicu- lous."
 Then John Dallass again paced up and down and consulted his watch. Ut will be dark in half-hour. But l don't care a snap about being alone. And what is likely to be the conclusion of this business? The girl invariably narries some other man, and is happy with the new fellow. And the first chap-who cares what has become of him? Now, there is that Bob Bryant, why hasn't he written? Two months have I been away from civilization, and not line from anybody, only old rigamarole rubbish from railroad di- rectors."
 Just then there was a shout away off in the distance. John Dallass drew out his map, and was, apparently, deeply engrossed in the study of it when his men came in. At once the engineer found fault with them for being behind time.

What Will Come oft?

AS predicted in these columns more
than three months ago, the SILVER m ove
ment has succeeded in the democratic
party and the two great PAL ties are fac
ing each other with Numerically oppo'
site views concerning the country's met
al money. The republican position is
for the gold standard and gold coinage
only, monometaliSm, the democratic
position is for equal rights in our mints
for both metals at ratio Of gold equal
to l6 times it's weight Of silver. or BIZ
metallsm.
The eastern wing Of democracy while
not boiling the Chicago convention will
certainly do something more damaging
to its party, viz, remain nomlnaIly
democrats but vote the republican ticket.
1t is not too certain however that a con
ference of these democrats will not be
followed by convention at which reg
ularly nominated candidates will be
placed before the people.
The schism in the party Is, here in
the east, Of serious weight and influence
and will probably render such states as
New York, Delaware and Maryland
reasonably certain to cast a majority Of
votes for the republican ticket.
Defeat Of the democratic party on the
silver issue will mean disruption just
what will follow its success must be
waited for to learn, inasmuch as a
wholly new condition of affairs would
be brought about, concerning the effect
and outcome of which it ia now only
possible to speculate.

STOP AND Think.
And Ak Yourself the Following Businoss-
like Questions.

like Questions.
II yon have been led by the plausible
fallacies of the free coinage advocates
into favoring their scheme, stop for
moment your shouting for cheap silver
dollars and ask yourself these questions:
1. If this country should enact law
providing for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at 16 TO I, would not
our 5000, 900, 900 Of gold be driven out
Of circulation?
Q. Would not the withdrawal Of that
great amount Of money from business
channels cause financial panic, through
the inability Of debtors to meet their
obligations and the natural desire of all
creditors to protect themselves against
being paid in deprecated currency?
8. In case Of another currency panic
like that Of 1893, during which hun.
dreds Of banks failed, thousands Of fac
tories closed down and tens Of thousands
Of business men were forced into In
solvenoy, would not the farmers and
workingmen suffer then as they did
three years ago2
4. Would the slight advantage OF be-
ing able to cheat creditors by paying
them 80 cent dollars overbalance the
great losses through idleness Of workers
and inability Of farmers to sell their
products2
s. If the purchasing power Of the dol
lar were cut in two, as tho silverites
propose, how would that affect every
man who has little money In the bank
or loaned out Mt interest, or who has
been paying premiums on q fro or life
insurance policy?
6. Since the prosperity Of the people
Of one section Of the country depends
on tho conditions Of industry and trade
In all other parts, what effect would
policy which would alarm investors and
cause the general withdrawal Of capital
have on the welfare Of the whole people2
Z. AS tho avowed purpose Of free
coinage is to double the price Of every
kind of products and rs any advance in
prices must compel the people who buy
things to pay more for their purchases,
what advantage would that be to the
10000, 900 American consumers who
buy Just as much as they sell?
8. How would calling things by diff
ferent names, for instance saying that
a silver half dollar shall be dollar, In.
crease in any way the wealth Of those
who now are poor2
0. If the free silver leaders can only
promise benefits to come through the
adoption Of the silver standard without
showing how these promises can possibly
be fulfilled, why should any sensible
man take such leap into tho dark as
to vote for money system which has
nothing to recommend it but that 1t is
used in Mexico, India and China?

WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM QUIZ REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, JULY 18th, 1896.

Our National politics have had some
bad mix ups in the past, but the pres
ent situation is a few points ahead Of
them all. Present indications are that
those who have been predicting a gen
eral breaking down Of old party lines
this year will prove to be crue prophets
1t would seem that the Chicago conven-
tion by the adoption of platform ad-
vocating many of the principles of the
Of the populists, and nominating ex-
representative BRYAN Of Neb., who has
always in his state and during his two
terms in the House affiliated with the
populists,, for President, had made it
reasonably certain that the populist
and silver conventions to meet at st.
Louis next week, would endorse mis-
candidacy, but it intimated by leading
populists that such endorsement de-
ponds largely upon individual pledges
yet to be made by Mr.. Bryan himself.
Although Bryan's nomination was
not expo cted by anybody-probably not
even by himself-until the day before
it was made, it is generally admitted
that with the exception Of Senator Tel
Ter, who would have been certain to
get the full populist vote and almost
the entire silver vote, Bryan is about
the strongest man the democrats could
have put up, and the fact that he is the
youngest man ever nominated for the
presidency will have tendency to
arouse great enthusiasm in his behalf
among the young men Of his party.
Mr.. Arthur Sewall of Maine, the demo-
cratic nominee for Vice President, is
we'll known in Washington, but is com
paratively unknown elsewhere, outside
Of New England. 1t is a matter of
opinion whether he adds any strength
to the ticket. it is not probable that
his party expect to get any electoral
votes from New England.
One of the queer things is that the
republicans and silver democrats pro-
