and Ralph Armitage stood there painting
and raging in his youthful heat
''Father," he cried out, you have not
forbidden Katie and"
The poor boy burst into tears. Some
thing had turned his first flash of indig-
nant defiance of his father into burst
of heartfelt grief.
.'Nell. Ralph, what does all this mean.
and what is all the crying and noise up
stairs abouty
"Oh. father, dear little Katie was say
ing her prayers, and she said-she said,
God bless dear mother and-and-'"
The boy stopped abruptly, and Mr.. Ar
mitage turned deadly pale.
"Sell, Ralph" he said kindly, tell me
all about Il, my boy. Forbidden her to
pray for her mother? No, certainly not"
ooh, | thought not; but Mrs. Cookson
said she mustn't do so, and that It was
wicked TO think anything more about
mother, and that Katie nor any Of them
were ever 10 mention her. and that you
would be angry"
Mr.. Armitage put his hand on the boys
shoulder and went upstairs. There was
still crying going on there, still hot de-
flant words Of the raging boys and then
MIR. Armitage stood in their midst. He
took his little daughter in his arms and
kissed her again and again.
"Well, Katie darling" he said, SAY your
me hear it,"
Put father, Mrs. Cookson says it's
wicked" said the child, looking over TO
the housekeeper, who stood folding up the
childreh's things.
mo, my dear It isn't wicked. so let me
hear It,"
The child began at the beginning the
old. old prayer said by how many gene :
rations OF children, but with an addition
al and pathetic sentence in this case.
"Pray God bless dear father and mother,
end bring mother back to US all again"
Mr. Armitage kissed his little one, and
put her into her bed himself. And ne
told Mrs. Cookson never to speak TO his
children again in the way she had dore,
and he learned from his eldest son, Ralph,
that little Katie had said this prayer all
70 herself for a long time, and that az
forwards he and his brothers always
came upstairs TO hear her.
Father" said the lad, breaking down,
why can't you let mother come again?
Yes. this was the biggest stab he had
had, and It took him some time to re-
cover. II was all 80 real. And one bright

and everybody Is trying to explain to her
the true situation.
Now Basil is proud. He leaves her
forever. AS he is going the girl discovers
the part the villain played. No, my love,
do not go; no, no., she cries, and her
shrielzs drive every one in the audience
into a cambria handkerchief.
There are other noes. But these are
the ones needed for examination day. The
young ladies sit along the wall in a row
of cane-seated chairs. One by one they
are called into the middle of the floor to

bright. short-haired little miss you see
tripping along cannot do the tragedy noes
but she can do the funny ones. She Is a
dear little ingenue and win make a hit
with her light heels, her clear voice and
her pretty ways. There is a difference you
know.
Many pupils never become actresses
even after we take them. They are not
self-conScious enough. An actress must
feel that she is drawing every thread in
her embroidery for the audience to see,
and must act all the time. The au-
dience speedily falls If the hypnotic
spell is taken off them. II is a kind of
hypnotism, / think, though 1t may be

the manager because we have on hand
many applications for our actresses. Peo-
pie write to us and say they are going to
have Christmas drama at their country
house. The parts will be taken by MEM
bers of the house party, but an actress is
needed to keep the play together-in other
words, to supply the dramatic talent We
pick one from our scholars and send her,
charging so much a day for her services.
"Our girls, when they become graduates,
take a part in the divorce history OF the
world. The u"happiness Of actresses may
be due to the life on the road and its
temptations and trbulations, but / have
always believed that part of Il can be
traced to the grace with which they have
learned to say no No spoken at home
too often has produced as many heart
aches as when spoken before marriage"

Daylight had glinted over the housetops
before Clarence Armitage left his vigil
ground and stole softly back TO his de-
serted chamber.
Next morning he was IN a feverish,
restless condition, uncertain what 10 do,

arose In his heart and Kept up leaping
there all the dreary day long.
At last the day was done; at last all
were gone to their rest and full hour be-
fore the last post time he took up his posi-

garden and just opposite TO the pillar box
of the post office. Would she come? That
was the eternal question asked and an

He took her over to the house, pointed
out that everything stood just as 1t used
to stand; took her into their bedroom and
showed her her dresses still hanging in
the wardrobe. her jewel case, her hair
brushes, her linen, just as she had left
them. Finally, after a night OF such mind
full JOY as Is not known to any but such
as these, he let her say a prayer over her
sleeping children. And then he once more
folded her in his arms, led her down stairs
to the study, where Of old they generally
sat, and talked of the practical side OF
the question that remained to them. She
had assumed the position Of a domestic
servant next door, because she wanted TO
be near; she had preserved her secret all
these months, and had seen and known
his watchful care of their children.
Only one thing he insisted upon; that
they should be remarked at once; that she
should change her dress, and he would
take her TO hotel as soon as the day
had begun, that she should go down into
the country the day after, and he would
bring the children to her for their summer
holiday.
Eyes, my love, my loven' he said, as
he held her at arms length and surveyed
her in her black dress, my beautifu' love-
we Will keen this dress Sacred IN thia
night"
And while her tears flowed fast and It
seemed impossible 20 make the throbbing
heart peaceful in, he reverently put on
her one OF her old dresses, and then once
more they talked of their old, old love,
ane he once more declared she must never
leave him. They left the house before
the servants began to STIR and their
strange wooing ceased until once moro

Spain Will Apologize and Pay.

CHICAGO. April PA dis
patch to the Times-Herald from
from Washington says: Spain has
been called to account for the out
RACES committed on DIR. Jose
Manuel Delagado, an American citi-
zen on March 4, on that gentle
mans plantation in the province
OF Manoa, Cuba. There has been
considerable correspondence be-
tween the United States and Spain
on the subject and the details OF
the brutal character OF the outrage
are so well authenticated that the
latter country has shown itself not
to be adverse to making amends
1t is consequently believed by tn G
state department that the Spanish
government will tender another
apology to the United States and
remove the officers in command Of
the attachments of soldiers who
caused the outrages which are now
the cause of complaint. This will
be followed by submission of a
claim for money indemnity, which
is being prepared by Delagsdo's
attorney in this city.

The rich democrats will soon go
to the Oily White) republican
party, for the protection Of their
wealth from doing its just part in
support of our government, and
the poor democrats will come to
the peoples party for the protec-
ton of their lives and liberties,
and for the good of our country.
Now, let US examine the republi-
can party, the weakest party in
Texas. This party has two dis.
tinct organizations, viz: Lily
Whites and Regulars. The Lily
Whites republican party is COM
posed entirely OF white men, while
ninety.five per cent Of the Regular
republican party are negroes, and
these republicans split every time
they hold a convention.
What is the cause of the present
embroglio among the republicans?
And why do they divide every
time they assemble in convention?
In the main, too many of the
ignorant among my race are try
ing to be politicians and delegates
to conventions.
Again, too many OF the half
educated Of my race are trying to
make money out Of politics, and
this has caused the truely educated
negro to become political anchor
lite, and is driving the white men
to the Lily White republican party
Let me give an instance OF rot
among the regular republicans
Now, long ago, in a very wealthy
city in this state, the republicans
had a county convention, and in
that city were many intelligent
patriotic and honest citizens In
both races, but when the conven'
ton assembled, instead of electing
one OF these good citizens chair
man, they elected an ex-convict
A man who had been sent to the
penitentiary for stealing, and whC
cannot testify in court, or vote
The men, who so willingly ele
waited this ex-convict, knew al
about his moral character anC
political disabilities.
The Texas republican party is il
the hands of a conscienceless hord
of political gourmands, and they
are fighting each other for place a
the federal pie counter.
The whites in the Regular re
publican party will soon unit
white the Lily White republican
party, and there will be only TIVE
great parties in Texas, viz: PEG
Plies party land Lily White republi
can party.
